After the round ended, Su Luo sat in her room, deep in thought.
Numbers 1 through 12—Numbers 1, 5, and 6 are Werewolves, 3 is a Villager, so Numbers 2 and 4 are very likely to be special roles.
When Number 10 mocked Number 11, they seemed very bold, which is highly likely to be a special role as well.
Not bad, Su Luo thought, about half the identities have been exposed.
Once Su Luo sorted out her thoughts, she went to sleep peacefully.
This dungeon looks pretty simple; there shouldn’t be any problems.
If possible tomorrow, it’s best to just vote out Number 3 directly, then we can start the Wolf Kill.
A dreamless night.
***
[Morning. Please open your eyes.]
The next morning, a System prompt woke Su Luo.
She glanced at the System time—it was now 7:30.
She immediately got up to wash up, then left her room.
When she stepped outside, everyone was already waiting; this time, Su Luo was the last one to arrive.
Noticing everyone’s gaze turning toward her, Su Luo smiled and nodded, “Good morning.”
Su Luo’s appearance in this dungeon was quite ordinary.
Seeing this, everyone just greeted her and looked away.
Su Luo glanced in the direction of Numbers 5 and 6 and found they were already together.
Looking around, she realized everyone had already formed groups of two, with some in groups of three.
‘That was fast!’
Su Luo sighed.
To avoid suspicion, she decided to check out the other groups first.
She wandered around, pretending she wanted to join, but found that everyone looked extremely wary.
So Su Luo feigned disinterest and walked over to Numbers 5 and 6, asking, “Can I discuss things with you two? I’m really not a Werewolf.”
She even hesitated a bit, putting on a little act, before finally looking at them and barely nodding.
The two of them exchanged glances, then nodded.
Su Luo lowered her voice, “Who’s going to claim Prophet later? I suggest one of you two, then give the other Golden Water.”
Number 6, a young lady, nodded, “That’s what I was thinking too. I’ll claim.”
Su Luo repeated her Debrief from yesterday, and the two were amazed, “You’re way too observant!”
Su Luo touched her nose and smiled, saying nothing more.
Soon, eight o’clock arrived, and the System prompt sounded as expected:
[Game Start]
[Now beginning Police Chief election.]
[10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
[Numbers 4, 6, 8, and 12 have stood for Police Chief.]
[Number 6, please speak.]
A five-minute countdown timer appeared in the air.
When the timer started, Su Luo realized she couldn’t move at all—not even blink—effectively preventing cheating and making things very secure.
Su Luo couldn’t help but sigh, ‘What a stroke of luck!’
First position to speak—her words would carry weight.
Now it all depended on Number 6’s performance.
Number 6 seemed a bit excited, “I am the Prophet, and Number 5 is Golden Water. I’ll say it again: I am the Prophet, checked up and down, and Number 5 is Golden Water. First position, so I don’t have much information.”
Thinking for a moment, she continued, “If someone counterclaims Prophet later, I’ll treat them as a confirmed Werewolf. If the counterclaim gives Golden Water, then the Badge Stream goes to the Golden Water. If it’s a kill result, then the kill must follow me, and my Badge Stream will target… Number 1, let’s verify my side first. If there’s any issue, I’ll change the Badge Stream after the Police Chief. Done.”
After her speech, Su Luo nodded in satisfaction.
There were no flaws in the statement, and being the first to speak was already an advantage.
If nothing unexpected happened, she should secure the badge, and with one less round for the good guys, things would get even easier.
[Number 8, please speak.]
Number 8 gave a greasy, wicked smile, then said something that shocked everyone: “I am a Werewolf! Besides me, Numbers 1, 5, and 6 are all Werewolves. Hurry up and kill us! I guess I’m an Undercover now, right?”
He went on, smugly, “So that makes me part of the good guys, and I should win in the end, right? Hahaha! You didn’t expect that, did you? I thought of this all night yesterday—now I’m an Undercover, and you can’t copy me.”
[Number 8 withdraws from the Police Chief race.]
Su Luo looked at Number 8 as if he were an idiot.
She felt the urge to curse again—wait, “again”?
Is this person stupid?
If you don’t know the rules, just ask!
Why pretend to know and end up hurting both yourself and others?
Undercover, really?
What did she do to deserve such a pig teammate?
How did he even survive until now?
With that intelligence, shouldn’t he have been eliminated in the first assessment dungeon?
Truly, games aren’t that easy; no matter how good the situation, you can’t guard against a pig teammate’s critical hit!
This was such a mess that Su Luo admitted she couldn’t outdo it.
Numbers 5 and 6 also looked unhappy; the perfect start was ruined.
No matter how much they planned, they never expected to have a teammate like this.
Truly toxic.
Su Luo forced herself to calm down.
As the old saying goes, opportunity is also challenge.
If used well, this idiot could become their driving force.
But how could she turn this crisis into opportunity?
[Number 12, please speak.]
Number 12’s expression was complicated, “Uh… The Werewolf just self-exposed? Then there’s nothing to say—8, 1, 5, 6, let’s vote them out in order? I actually trusted Number 6, but didn’t expect she was a Werewolf. I’m just a Villager, came up for a look. When we vote later, everyone vote for Number 4! Done.”
[Number 12 withdraws from the Police Chief race.]
[Number 4, please speak.]
“I am the Prophet, and I checked Number 5—kill. I also checked up and down, so 5 and 6 are both Werewolves. What Number 8 said should be true, so I suggest we vote them out in order, but let’s get the Prophet who counterclaimed me out first. Badge Stream targets Number 1. Done.”
[On the Police Chief stage are Numbers 4 and 6.]
[Players who did not stand for Police Chief, please vote.]
[5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
[Numbers 1 and 5 vote for Number 6.]
[Numbers 2, 3, 7, 9, 10, 11 vote for Number 4.]
[Number 4 is elected Police Chief.]
[Last night was a Peaceful Night.]
[Starting with Number 1, please speak.]
Now it was Su Luo’s turn.
Her expression grew serious—whether they could turn things around depended on her.
“The reason I voted for Number 6 doesn’t need much explanation, right? Number 12, let me ask you: how can you be sure Number 8 isn’t a Werewolf? And don’t tell me there’s no benefit to his actions. Number 4 is Police Chief, and countless gullible Villagers believe him—isn’t that the biggest benefit?”
Su Luo paused, then continued, “I think Numbers 8 and 4 are working together. Didn’t you see that, even after Number 8 exposed himself as a Werewolf, Number 4 still insisted on voting out the Prophet who counterclaimed first? Isn’t that just trying to keep his Werewolf teammate alive a little longer?”
She then put on a very indignant look, “I’m speechless. When Number 6 asked if anyone didn’t understand the rules, Number 8 didn’t step up. Now he pretends not to know? So he’s probably pretending, deliberately acting clueless, and self-exposing to confuse the good guys. No matter what, voting out Number 8 first can’t be wrong, right? Done.”
After finishing, Su Luo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
That should confuse most players; now it was up to Numbers 5 and 6 to speak.
As she relaxed here, Number 6 also breathed easier.
Her teammates were reliable—this speech should have successfully turned the tide.
[Number 2, please speak.]
Sure enough, when it was Number 2’s turn, the tone changed.
“I think Number 1 makes a lot of sense. Number 8 clearly knows the rules—how could he be so dumb? He must be doing it on purpose. The Werewolf team really plays a good hand. I was just confused for a moment, but now I support Number 6. Done.”
[Number 3, please speak.]
“I still trust Number 4, because before 8 o’clock today, I clearly saw Numbers 5, 6, and 1 standing together discussing something. Clearly, they recognized each other at night and were plotting their strategy together.”
[Number 4, please speak.]
“That’s right, I agree with Number 3. The three of them standing together are obviously three confirmed Werewolves. Number 2, don’t be foolish. I said to vote out Number 6 first just to prevent her from confusing the good guys. I don’t care about voting out Number 8 first. Since the Police Chief has the final vote, we’ll vote out Number 8 first.”
[Number 5, please speak.]
“So Numbers 3 and 4 are already forming a group? That’s clearly lying with your eyes open! Are you all standing alone? There was no one next to you? I clearly saw Numbers 3 and 4 together, and Numbers 11 and 7 together.”
“Everyone was grouped up, so does that mean you’re all Werewolves discussing your plans? And even if Number 3 thinks she found something suspicious, shouldn’t she stay neutral when things aren’t clear? Picking a side immediately—isn’t that a charge wolf move?!”
Number 5’s voice was getting heated.
He looked like a simple, honest man, which actually made him more convincing.
He continued, “Besides, Number 1 was the last to come out. She asked several groups but no one wanted to take her in. Number 6 was kind enough, so we stood together. If the three of us were Werewolves, wouldn’t we avoid suspicion as much as possible? Would we just stand together and wait for you to catch us? And I’m with Number 6 because she’s helped others before—I think she’s a good person! Vote out Number 8. Done!”
[Number 6, please speak.]
“I’m really angry. Everything was going so well, and the Werewolves are ruthless, sacrificing one of their own to frame me—but it actually worked. I just want to ask, don’t the good guys here have any logic? You just believe whatever Number 8 says?”
“There are so many people here, but except for Numbers 1 and 5, who were framed by Number 8, not a single person believes me? Use your brains! When has a dungeon ever been this easy? The game’s just started and it’s already over! Now the good guys have one less round. I’ll check Number 3. Done.”
Su Luo thought, Numbers 5 and 6 both gave solid speeches.
Number 5 did a great job countering Number 3’s point, which gave Number 6 a boost.
Both of them were emotionally convincing, so there shouldn’t be any big problems for now.
Just hope Number 8 can act even dumber, so others won’t believe him at all.
