Great Emperor Zhenwu heard this and said, “Are you suspecting they are Lovers?”
Conan shook his head in denial.
“No. If even one person in the pair dies, the other will follow.”
“They wouldn’t make it that obvious.”
‘I suspect Dieyu might be Cupid, and Shiba Daye is one of the Lovers she chose.’
Actually, Conan didn’t say it out loud.
‘It is also possible Shiba Daye is Cupid, and claiming to be the Hunter was just to protect those Lovers.’
In other words, one of them — Shiba Daye or Dieyu — was Cupid, and the other was a Werewolf Lover!
So, who was the other person in that couple?
Thinking of this, Conan looked at Taoqimao.
She was the one closest to Dieyu.
And Shiba Daye seemed to take extra care of her as well.
As Conan looked over, Taoqimao happened to pat her mouth with her hand.
She seemed exhausted, her head drooping as she leaned on the table, avoiding Conan’s gaze.
Seeing this, Conan was already ninety percent certain.
Thinking of this, Conan actually felt a lot of pressure.
Since the Lovers and Cupid were tied together, they would definitely vote for him during the voting phase…
At this moment, he only hoped that Old Six Du, who was poisoned by the Witch, was a Werewolf.
Otherwise, if the good players hesitated and didn’t follow his vote, he would likely die!
Conan thought for a moment and said, “There are seven people here. We can’t rule out that there are Werewolves or Lovers among us.”
“That Lover will definitely help the Werewolf Shiba Daye, no matter what I say.”
“However, if there are other Werewolves present, you should think carefully about whether you want to let this Wolf teammate be eliminated first!”
“Otherwise, I’m afraid that after hiding for several days, you’ll end up handing victory over to Cupid and the Lovers!”
After Conan finished speaking, he looked around.
Seeing that most people believed him, he nodded and stood up.
“Everyone, let’s leave it at that for now.”
“If anyone approaches you privately saying Shiba Daye isn’t a Wolf and that I’m the Werewolf, come report it to me.”
“Heh, it’s nothing else, really. It’s just that Shiba Daye, the fake Hunter, doesn’t dare to face me and is hiding. But I, the real Hunter, dare to discuss this in front of everyone so you’ll trust me.”
“I’m also looking forward to the other Werewolves and the Lovers jumping out at this time so I can find all the Werewolves early!”
“The Prophet should also find me. You can tell me the results of last night’s check now. Even if the person confirmed is a good person, it rules out a suspect.”
“Meeting adjourned for now. I’ll go find the Village Chief Girl and speak with her too.”
Conan finished speaking and left.
In his view, the Ordinary Girl Village Chief was a good person and a bitter rival of Shiba Daye, making her a free vote.
If she insisted on being the Village Chief, he would coax her and let her take the lead in his place while he stayed behind the scenes.
That would be even better.
So, he urgently needed to find the Village Chief Girl and secure her vote!
As Conan left, Pikachu was the second to go but was stopped by Great Emperor Zhenwu.
“Little sister, where are you going in such a hurry?”
Pikachu turned around.
At this moment, Great Emperor Zhenwu’s face was covered in sweat.
He looked… like a Werewolf who had been discovered.
She couldn’t help but frown.
“I’m going to confront Shiba Daye. I still don’t believe he’s a Wolf!”
“You… you’re not a Wolf too, are you? Why are you so nervous?”
Great Emperor Zhenwu was stunned.
He slapped his thigh and said, “Aie, what kind of Wolf am I? I’m not a Wolf! I was tricked by Shiba Daye yesterday and said the wrong thing!”
“No, no, I have to go find Conan!”
With that, under Pikachu’s surprised gaze, Great Emperor Zhenwu ran out first to find Conan.
Before Conan had gone very far, Great Emperor Zhenwu caught up to him.
“Hey, hey, hey! Little brother Conan! I have an emergency!”
Conan stopped and looked at the anxious Great Emperor Zhenwu.
He could tell the man was in a hurry and assumed he had a lead on the Werewolves or had discovered something.
He immediately scanned their surroundings.
“Let’s find a place where no one is around.”
Great Emperor Zhenwu nodded quickly.
“Right, right, we must find a place with no one around!”
“Little brother Conan, you have to save me!!!”
Conan found a tree where no one was present.
The two of them crouched there, looking like undercover agents exchanging intelligence.
After checking the surroundings again to confirm they were alone, Conan said, “What’s the emergency? Tell me. Did you see the Werewolves or the Lovers talking privately?”
To Conan, only something like that would make Great Emperor Zhenwu so anxious!
Great Emperor Zhenwu shook his head vigorously and slapped his hand hard against Conan’s arm.
“No, no! It’s something much more important!”
“It’s a matter of life and death! Hunter brother, you have to help me!”
“Cough, cough… stop, stop, stop!”
Conan’s arm stung from Great Emperor Zhenwu’s heavy-handed slaps.
He grimaced and said, “Ease up. If you slap me to death, no one can help you.”
After speaking, he adjusted his thick glasses, a white light reflecting off the frames.
“Tell me what happened.”
“I’m the Hunter. I will definitely help you.”
Great Emperor Zhenwu said, “Hunter, once I tell you, you can’t be scared!”
Conan leaned back tactically and said in a firm tone, “I’m the Hunter. How could I be scared? Just say it!”
Under Conan’s comfort, Great Emperor Zhenwu finally flushed and said excitedly, “It’s over, brother. I drew the Idiot card!”
“I trusted Shiba Daye too much yesterday, so I told him!”
“Tonight, I’ll definitely be knifed by the Werewolves!!!”
As he spoke, Great Emperor Zhenwu paused.
“Wait, that’s not right. If Shiba Daye is a Wolf, why wasn’t I killed last night?”
Conan was also stunned to hear that Great Emperor Zhenwu held the Idiot identity card.
Thinking carefully about the man’s behavior, it didn’t seem like a lie.
It was likely the truth.
He frowned and said, “I expect Shiba Daye didn’t think the Witch wouldn’t save anyone last night. To win your trust, he used you during the day, so he didn’t choose to kill you at night.”
Great Emperor Zhenwu thought about it and felt it made a lot of sense.
He quickly said, “Oh, so that’s how it is!”
“But! Tonight, the Werewolves will definitely choose to kill me!”
“Village Chief Conan, Hunter Conan, you have to think of a way to save me!”
“I’ll definitely stand by your side. Everything you said earlier made too much sense!”
“That dumbass Witch definitely won’t save me!”
“Aie, aie, I’m worried to death!”
Great Emperor Zhenwu was truly anxious, sweat pouring down his forehead.
Facing death, he behaved like a straightforward man would.
It seemed completely normal.
Knowing Great Emperor Zhenwu was the Idiot, Conan actually felt a sense of relief.
Since both the Hunter and the Idiot were on the field and exposed, the one to be killed first would definitely be the Idiot card.
This meant Conan was safe late tonight.
If the Witch had a change of heart and used the Antidote, he would be safe for at least two nights.
Great Emperor Zhenwu was scared to death, as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
But Conan was secretly happy inside, though he didn’t show it.
Instead, he leaned in closer and comforted him, “Idiot brother, don’t panic. The Witch hasn’t used the Antidote yet, so you won’t die tonight.”
“If Old Six Du, who was poisoned by the Witch, is a Werewolf, we’ll eliminate Shiba Daye today and find the right Wolf tomorrow. You won’t die.”
“Besides, maybe the Lovers are both Werewolves?”
“If one Werewolf is eliminated, the other will follow.”
“So, you still have a chance.”
“Only, tonight, you must follow me and vote for Shiba Daye!”
Great Emperor Zhenwu quickly patted his chest and promised, “Don’t worry, don’t worry, I’ll definitely follow your vote!”
“But I don’t trust that dumbass Witch!”
“Aie, this is bad. I spent all morning cursing him. He definitely won’t save me.”
“I’m worried sick.”
Great Emperor Zhenwu was anxious, but Conan was very calm.
He said steadily, “That’s why you shouldn’t curse the Witch anymore. You can even say a few nice things, at least to keep yourself alive.”
“Although the Witch’s actions were very bad, it’s impossible for him not to care about his own survival.”
“If the God Cards are all out, he’ll die too.”
“I think he’ll save you tonight. Don’t worry!”
Under Conan’s consolation, Great Emperor Zhenwu’s mood improved significantly, but he was still a bit worried.
“Shiba Daye said Qian Laoban might be the Witch and was killed by the Werewolves, so he couldn’t save himself and poisoned Master Du instead.”
“Do you think… there might not be a Witch anymore?”
Conan had also considered this possibility, so he said, “Can you really believe a Werewolf’s words?”
“Brother, besides the Werewolves, there are nine players and only one Witch. How likely is it that he was killed directly?”
“Don’t think too much. Follow me, and at least you’ll have a chance to survive.”
“However, if you happen to temporarily side with Shiba Daye, then —”
As Conan spoke, his tone darkened significantly.
Great Emperor Zhenwu stood up and patted his chest.
“Don’t worry!”
“I’m definitely following you!”
“I really can’t believe Shiba Daye is a Werewolf. He tricked me so badly!”
“And he’s so heartless too. Qian Laoban was such a good person, and his body was in such a tragic state!!!”
“Sigh!”
“Hunter Conan, after listening to you, I feel much better now.”
“You’re such a good person!”
Conan shook his head and said, “No. As long as you are a good person and I am a good person, our goals are the same — to find the Werewolves!”
“Alright, keep an eye on everyone today. If Shiba Daye makes secret contact with anyone, or if you hear any news about the Werewolf Lovers, you must report it to me!”
Great Emperor Zhenwu stood up and promised with a fist to his chest, “Don’t worry, I’ll keep my eyes peeled and my ears sharp to find those Werewolves for you.”
“By the way, brother Conan, don’t tell anyone else about my Idiot card identity!”
Conan also stood up and promised, “How could I say anything? Don’t worry!”
After hearing Conan’s words, Great Emperor Zhenwu felt much more relieved.
He said, “I see you’re busy, so I’ll leave you to it!”
“Oh, little sister Pikachu still believes Shiba Daye is a Werewolf and wants to confront him!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll go try to persuade her. I’ll report any situation to you immediately!”
With that, Great Emperor Zhenwu hurried off to find Pikachu.
Conan sat back down in the shade of the tree.
As the shadows draped over him, he thought to himself.
‘Heh… the Idiot God Card.’
‘It really was given to quite a “useful” player!’
Great Emperor Zhenwu circled around for a while before finally finding Pikachu at her thatched hut.
“What do you want?”
Pikachu’s expression wasn’t great.
She hadn’t slept well yesterday, and seeing Great Emperor Zhenwu standing foolishly outside her door, her tone wasn’t very kind.
Great Emperor Zhenwu rubbed his head.
He knew he had likely just woken her up, which was a bit rude.
He quickly explained, “Well, little sister, I just wanted to discuss who the Wolf is with you!”
“By the way, did you finish talking to Shiba Daye?”
