“Of course, I still need to think about whether Sister Pikachu is a Wolf or not.”
The Ordinary Girl Village Chief added, “There really weren’t any water stains when we entered the room. That mud on the floor was all from your own feet, hmph!”
She was naturally speaking to Yi Mo.
With Dieyu and the Ordinary Maiden both testifying, Yi Mo and Pikachu were once again forced onto the defensive.
Even Unrivaled began to waver, stealing glances at Pikachu and starting to doubt her.
Pikachu, hearing this, threw a punch at the wooden table.
With a loud bang, the wooden table actually cracked.
She glared fiercely at everyone and shouted, “YOU… YOU’RE ALL TEAMING UP TO FRAME ME!”
“IF I’M ELIMINATED, NONE OF YOU WILL ESCAPE! YOU’LL ALL DIE!!!”
“YOU… YOU PEOPLE!”
“IS IT POSSIBLE THAT EVERYONE LEFT IS A WEREWOLF OR A LOVER?!”
“THERE ARE HARDLY ANY PEOPLE WITH A GOOD PERSON CARD LEFT!!!”
Seeing Pikachu looking like she was about to hit someone again, everyone couldn’t help but take a few steps back.
Even the Ordinary Girl Village Chief left the thatched hut.
Baiduren then said, “This is the situation now. Everyone, think carefully about who should be voted out today!”
After saying that, he didn’t even give Yi Mo a chance to counterattack and left immediately.
Cthulhu, naturally, followed closely behind.
Dieyu didn’t say anything either.
She looked at Yi Mo, her eyes signaling for him to come find her later, and then she left without lingering.
Only Taoqimao and Unrivaled stayed behind.
The former was concerned about Yi Mo and Pikachu, while the latter intended to stay in Yi Mo’s good graces.
Yi Mo stopped Pikachu, who wanted to continue cursing, and told Unrivaled and Taoqimao to head back first.
Then, he lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying to Pikachu, “Heh… evidence?”
“It’s not important at all.”
“The key is who can control the votes.”
“Today’s battle has only just begun…”
***
The Judgment Meeting would officially begin at 7:30 PM.
It was almost 5:00 PM by the time Yi Mo and Pikachu returned to the vicinity of the thatched huts.
After the long ordeal with Baiduren and the others, it was now nearly 6:00 PM.
Normally, this should have been the time when the sunset was at its most beautiful, but unfortunately, it had remained overcast since the heavy rain, so the sky was already very dark.
Yi Mo talked with Pikachu for a while first.
He told her to keep a good mindset and trust that he would work his hardest to ensure she wouldn’t be eliminated.
Yi Mo’s reason was simple.
Pikachu was helping him, and there was a high probability they were in the same camp.
Therefore, Yi Mo would do everything in his power to help her!
In this game, Pikachu hadn’t built good relationships with anyone.
The only one she was somewhat close to had died last night.
So, in order to convince others to vote for Cthulhu, Yi Mo had to be the one to step up.
Since Yi Mo had been caught in the heavy rain earlier and his hair was clumped together, his appearance was honestly quite poor.
He spent less than ten minutes quickly washing his hair.
Only then did he go to find the other players individually.
As for his clothes, they were still very damp, but there was nothing he could do about that.
After all, he only had this one set of clothes and no spares.
At least they were short sleeves and athletic shorts, so they didn’t look too dirty.
If it had been a white shirt or white short sleeves, he would likely look terrible after a drenching like that.
The first player Yi Mo chose was Unrivaled.
The process went very smoothly.
Unrivaled patted his chest and pointed to the sky, swearing that his vote would definitely land on Cthulhu’s head.
However, right before Yi Mo left, Unrivaled suddenly called out to him.
He no longer had his usual frivolous attitude and asked Yi Mo very sincerely, “Hey, big brother, give me the truth!”
“I don’t care if you’re a Hunter or a Prophet, you’re really a Good Guy, right?”
“To be honest, I know I have a bad personality, but that’s just to survive. I don’t want to look too incompetent and get killed for no reason.”
“You made me lose face before, so I actually resented you in my heart.”
“But if you can lead me to survival, then none of that matters. You’re my big brother, the one who saved my life.”
“Right now, there’s you, Pikachu, Dieyu, and Taoqimao. You guys seem to have a good relationship.”
“Baiduren and Cthulhu are on good terms.”
“Counting it up, it’s just me and that pockmarked girl who don’t have a good relationship with anyone!”
“But that pockmarked girl looks incredibly arrogant! Man, she even dares to talk back to you, big brother. No one can do anything to her, and she isn’t the focus of anyone’s attention either.”
“I can’t compare!”
“And I really just have a broken Villager Card, I don’t have any teammates!!!”
“I’ve been so confused these past few days! Other than knowing that Great Emperor Zhenwu was an Idiot, I don’t know anything!”
“So I can only cling to your thigh, the thigh of a Good Guy.”
“Big brother, seriously. Don’t lie to me. If you don’t lie to me, I won’t listen to what anyone else says now. I’ll just follow you to the end!”
Hearing this, Yi Mo walked over and patted Unrivaled’s shoulder.
“Even a Werewolf wouldn’t admit to being a Werewolf.”
“But I can tell you with absolute certainty that I am a Good Guy, and I am playing for the Good Guys.”
“I can’t guarantee that you’ll definitely make it out alive, or even guarantee that I’ll make it out alive myself.”
“But if you follow me, at least we both have a chance to get out of here.”
“Cthulhu is a Werewolf. To win, he must be eliminated today. If he doesn’t leave today, there’s a high probability he’ll never be forced out by tomorrow.”
Unrivaled nodded heavily.
“Alright, Brother Shiba Daye!”
“Don’t worry, my vote today will definitely follow yours. We’ll get that Cthulhu out!”
“Dammit, I’ve always felt he was fake as hell, just like a Werewolf!”
After talking with Unrivaled, the next person Yi Mo went to find was Taoqimao.
Following Yi Mo’s knock, Taoqimao opened the door just a crack.
She poked her small head out and carefully checked to see that it was Yi Mo before quickly opening the door wide.
“Brother Shiba Daye, please come in!”
“Sit anywhere, don’t be a stranger!”
Taoqimao’s room was no different from anyone else’s, except the bedding on the bed was her own.
It had a small red floral pattern and was a very cute and elegant style that matched Taoqimao’s temperament.
Taoqimao told him to sit anywhere, but Yi Mo wasn’t that shameless.
He couldn’t just sit on someone’s bed without a close relationship, so he sat properly in a chair.
“Sorry for the intrusion.”
Unlike his treatment of Baiduren and Cthulhu, Yi Mo was very polite when interacting with Taoqimao.
Taoqimao hurriedly shook her head.
“It’s nothing, it’s nothing…”
“It’s about the matter of voting for Cthulhu, right…?”
“Um… I believe in you, Brother Shiba Daye…”
Taoqimao lowered her head and rubbed the edge of her clothes, looking a bit embarrassed, her face flushed red.
Although Taoqimao immediately showed her stance and sided with Yi Mo, he didn’t intend to leave so easily.
He knew clearly that Taoqimao was a Werewolf!
When he had chatted with her alone on the first day, Yi Mo had mentioned that only the Werewolves could be relaxed in this game.
Taoqimao had subconsciously said, “How could that be…?”
Then, realizing she had let something slip, she quickly changed her words to, “How would I know…?”
That instinctive reaction of putting herself in a Werewolf’s shoes was fatal.
As a result, whenever Yi Mo interacted with Taoqimao later on, he was always very cautious, fearing she would realize he had discovered she was a Werewolf.
Even when he mentioned which players he suspected of being Werewolves back then, he had intentionally named several players who didn’t seem like Werewolves to prevent Taoqimao from feeling afraid or thinking he was dangerous.
So, at this moment, Yi Mo’s attempt to persuade Taoqimao was very serious.
After all, the difficulty of persuading a Werewolf to vote out another Werewolf could be imagined.
And the starting point was precisely the matter of the Lovers’ identities.
“Taoqimao, who do you think the Lovers are in this game?”
Following Yi Mo’s words, Taoqimao was suddenly stunned.
She carefully looked up.
“Um… I’m actually a bit stupid…”
“Brother Shiba Daye… you’re a Prophet… a Hunter… or the Village Chief… you’re very amazing. In your view, who looks like the Lovers?”
Although Yi Mo’s face remained expressionless, he laughed out loud.
“Hahaha… how could I possibly have so many identities, you dummy?”
“However, it’s true that I am amazing. Let me analyze it for you.”
“First of all, Pikachu has no teammates other than me helping her. I’m not a Lover. If you believe me, then she can’t be a Lover either.”
“Unrivaled doesn’t look like he has a Lover identity either. I trust you and Dieyu, so it’s definitely not you two!”
“So, that only leaves Cthulhu and Baiduren! Think about it. Baiduren is helping Cthulhu so much right now, working so hard to clear a Werewolf’s name even if it means framing Pikachu. Don’t you think they’re the Lovers?”
Taoqimao sounded a bit confused.
“Two men… and… there doesn’t seem to be a Cupid…”
Yi Mo patted Taoqimao’s head and said helplessly, “Little dummy, this is a game. If Cupid designates two players as Lovers, then they are Lovers!”
“It’s not about actually being in love; it’s just an identity. As for Cupid, I suspect it’s Old Six Du. He’s been very neutral since the first day, and he didn’t seem very afraid of being eliminated. He fits the Cupid identity perfectly. Unfortunately, he had bad luck and was poisoned by the Witch. Truly unlucky.”
Taoqimao nodded repeatedly as she listened, as if what Yi Mo said made a lot of sense.
“Oh, oh, so that’s how it is… I understand now…”
“So, for today’s vote, we should get Cthulhu out.”
Yi Mo’s eyes were filled with certainty.
“Right. At today’s Judgment Meeting, we must vote him out!”
Hearing this, Taoqimao hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.
