To think that now, with both Conan and Great Emperor Zhenwu dead, she was being framed for conspiring with Conan to deceive Great Emperor Zhenwu.
How could she not be furious?
“You’re lying!”
“Conan was the one who tricked Great Emperor Zhenwu into revealing his identity! Great Emperor Zhenwu regretted it and came to me to vent his frustrations!”
“I’ve always suspected Conan. I even voted for him yesterday! I only went to find him to confront him!”
Hearing this, Unrivaled felt a flicker of fear toward Pikachu, but seeing her arrogant display made him feel incredibly disgruntled.
He added, “Still making excuses!”
“You’re clearly the Werewolf!”
“Exactly! You’re the Barb Wolf that Baiduren was talking about!”
“You even intentionally cast a vote against your own teammate, Conan.”
“I really feel for your Werewolf teammate. He didn’t even sell you out at the end. He even shouted Great Emperor Zhenwu’s identity to you, reminding you to go kill him at night.”
“Go die, you fat hag!”
Unrivaled turned and ran as soon as he finished speaking, not waiting for Pikachu to catch him.
Pikachu immediately grabbed a shovel from the nearby cart and raised it, preparing to hurl it violently at Unrivaled.
Seeing this, Baiduren quickly stopped her.
“Pikachu, if you had played more games, you would know better.”
“In a round where you cannot attack players, you can’t cause direct fatal injuries. Furthermore, you might be judged by the System for a serious violation and be obliterated immediately.”
“There are still a few hours left. You have time to think carefully about whether you want to confess who the other Werewolves are.”
“We could also consider letting the other Werewolves be eliminated first, giving you a chance to continue using your Knife at night.”
“Although the chances of you Werewolves winning are slim, they aren’t non-existent.”
“We still don’t know who holds the Lovers Card.”
“For the good guys, the payout of having a Werewolf couple eliminated is much higher than just getting rid of you.”
“Of course, we can’t rule out the possibility that you are one of the Lovers.”
“After all, you’re the least likely to be in a couple, so Cupid might have chosen you for that very reason.”
Cthulhu also spoke up quickly.
“Exactly. I advise you to think it over. None of us want to die, and no one truly wants to kill you.”
“But being caught in the Death Game, we are all at the mercy of others. We all saw the miserable state of Qian Lao Ben, and according to Baiduren, Great Emperor Zhenwu’s state wasn’t any better.”
“If you were the one who did it, then you deserve whatever death comes your way.”
“But if your Werewolf teammate did it, can you really bear to watch Great Emperor Zhenwu be tortured to death like that?”
“Or do you simply not care about his life at all? Are you calling him a fool in your heart, wishing he’d died sooner!”
Every one of Cthulhu’s words deeply provoked Pikachu.
In this game, there were only two people she looked up to.
One was Great Emperor Zhenwu, and the other was Yi Mo.
Now, Cthulhu was actually saying that Great Emperor Zhenwu died so miserably by her hand.
Her blood began to boil, and no longer caring about her Points, she swung the shovel around to smash it toward him.
“YOU… ARE… THE… WEREWOLF!!!”
Pikachu felt that the people present were beyond reason.
Unrivaled’s ridiculous testimony couldn’t even be called testimony.
It was nothing more than a non-existent hypothetical!
And yet…
Everyone actually believed it!
It was as if everyone present was a Werewolf, and she was the only good person.
No…
Shiba Daye must be a good person.
Just as Pikachu thought this, Yi Mo grabbed her arm.
His grip wasn’t strong, but it was enough to stop her from throwing the shovel.
However, a sigh reached her ears.
“Sigh, stop it.”
“No matter how much you struggle, the others won’t believe you.”
“You can never convince those who never intended to believe you from the start.”
“There’s no need to explain anymore.”
Pikachu had originally thought Shiba Daye would help her.
But his words were like a bucket of cold water, leaving her heart completely chilled.
The shovel fell to the ground.
She turned around, took a few steps back, and looked at Shiba Daye.
His head was lowered, his expression gloomy.
Her voice trembled as she spoke.
“You… don’t believe me either?”
“On such a rainy day, I accompanied you to bury the dead, and you…”
“You actually don’t believe me? You think I’m a Werewolf too?!”
Pikachu stared intently at Shiba Daye, intending to see through this deceitful, masked liar!
He had actually tricked her?
She clearly thought he was a good person!
She thought he would stand by her side!
As it turned out… not a single person stood by her.
The bitterness of betrayal bore black fruit in her heart, nearly driving her insane.
As for Yi Mo?
He shook his head, patted her shoulder, and looked up.
His eyes were filled with brightness and sincerity. In a voice that only the two of them could hear, he said, “I will stand by you.”
“Even if the price is high.”
At the sound of Yi Mo’s firm voice, Pikachu’s eyes actually grew moist.
‘So… he didn’t betray me…’
Because she was fat and unattractive, Pikachu had honestly faced a lot of malice.
At first, she would work hard to prove herself so that others would like her.
But later, she understood.
Some people were born good-looking and were favored by everyone.
Some were born looking like villains, and no matter how they explained themselves, it would be dismissed as a lie!
That so-called “pleasing others” was seen as nothing but stupidity!
This feeling of someone believing in her unconditionally…
The feeling of someone believing in her in the face of absolute adversity…
She hadn’t felt this in a very long time.
Pikachu wanted to open her mouth to say thank you, regardless of the outcome.
But before she could speak, Yi Mo walked into the center of the group.
His gaze was gloomy and cold as he spoke loudly.
“That’s enough of this farce.”
“I don’t care which of you are Lovers or which are Werewolves.”
“But I, Shiba Daye…”
“Am the true Prophet!”
“And as for last night’s investigation result…”
“Cthulhu is the Werewolf!”
“Either we vote out Cthulhu, or we vote out me, Shiba Daye!”
***
When Yi Mo finished speaking, the entire area fell into a dead silence.
It could be said that everyone was stunned.
If you were speaking up for Pikachu in the capacity of the Hunter, then that would be one thing.
But for a known Hunter to jump out and claim to be the Prophet…
Wasn’t this… a bit too ridiculous?
Even Pikachu was stunned. She walked up and pulled on Yi Mo.
“What are you saying?”
“Don’t mess around.”
“I know you’re trying to prove I’m a good person, but there’s no need to put on the Prophet’s clothes.”
“No one will believe you.”
Pikachu’s face was full of concern.
If he recklessly wore the “clothes” of another identity, his own status as the Hunter might be questioned, and he could eventually be labeled a Werewolf!
The loss would definitely outweigh the gain.
Yi Mo reached out to signal Pikachu to stop talking. In a tone that brooked no argument, he said, “Just watch from the side. Right now, it’s my time—Shiba Daye, the dignified, true Prophet—to show off my skills!”
He turned back to look at everyone, brushed aside the bangs on his forehead, and walked over to Baiduren with an incredibly arrogant air.
He gave him a deep look before finally walking over to Cthulhu.
Coldly, he said, “I am the Prophet.”
“Therefore, everything you said is a lie.”
“Yesterday, I happened to investigate you. You are a Werewolf.”
“So, in the eyes of others…”
“There must be one Werewolf between the two of us.”
“Today isn’t Pikachu’s round; it’s a round between you and me.”
“One of us must die on the Judgment Stage today!”
“C! THUL! HU! You humble-looking Werewolf!”
Yi Mo reached out and grabbed Cthulhu’s shirt.
With a sudden burst of strength, he fastened the top button of the shirt, nearly choking him.
Cthulhu tried to swat Yi Mo’s hand away, but before he could, Yi Mo had already stepped back two paces.
He turned to look at Unrivaled.
“Hey! Go to the cart and bring me my gun!”
Unrivaled hadn’t quite processed what was happening, but hearing his “big brother” call out to him, he instinctively put on a flattering face and hopped over to get the Hunting Rifle for Yi Mo.
However, as he passed Pikachu, she kicked him, nearly sending him face-first into a puddle.
Unrivaled wanted to curse her out, but seeing how angry Pikachu looked, he gritted his teeth and muttered, “A real man doesn’t fight with women.”
With a look of deep resentment, he approached Yi Mo and presented the Hunting Rifle with both hands, his face still wearing a subservient expression.
Though he didn’t understand what this “Hunter Shiba Daye” was doing, having suffered twice before, he didn’t dare cross this demon again.
Yi Mo took the Hunting Rifle and tapped Unrivaled’s shoulder with the barrel. “Do you believe I’m the Prophet, or do you believe Cthulhu?”
How could Unrivaled dare say he didn’t believe Yi Mo? He quickly nodded and bowed.
“Ai-ya, Big Brother, what is there to say?”
“Why do you always pick me to test? Of course I believe you!”
Yi Mo nodded and looked toward Taoqimao.
“Taoqimao, how have I treated you these past few days?”
“Do you believe me, or do you believe Cthulhu?”
Hearing this, Taoqimao didn’t dare look at Cthulhu.
She hesitated for a moment before finally saying cautiously, “I… I… believe Brother Shiba Daye…”
Yi Mo said “Good,” and then asked Dieyu, who had been watching him with a smile, her gaze never leaving him.
“Hey, my little vixen, you wouldn’t do anything to betray your brother, would you?”
