Chapter 14: The Contest

“Since you voted for him, your card can never be completely cleared, especially considering you didn’t perform well in the discussion.”

Big Wave Sister’s gaze was calm.

The ninth boy who had just spoken seemed a bit choked up.

“When it’s your turn to reveal, you still follow number ten to vote? Don’t you know it’s your round now?”

“At this level, you’re still pretending to be clueless?”

Big Wave Sister glanced at number nine, who was sitting a bit apart nearby.

She didn’t believe that a player capable of competing in the national professional league would make such roundabout remarks at this moment.

When such words come out, it usually means they’ve drawn a werewolf card.

They tried to charge but failed.

Pretending to be a confused innocent during the discussion.

That’s a typical behavior when holding a werewolf card.

Because if the seer charges and the non-seer immediately talks back, it’s too deliberate.

So a failed charging werewolf, psychologically, to avoid embarrassment, often circles around and questions whether they are on the wrong side.

“So, in my eyes, number nine is a werewolf, and number three might be a werewolf shot poisoned by number one, the witch.”

“As for the good players I can recognize, number one the witch, number ten the seer, and number eleven the confirmed good—all three are solid. Besides them, it’s number seven.”

“I didn’t notice much movement from number seven during the discussion, only a brief mention of number six. At the same time, I suspected number three wasn’t good. If he were a werewolf, there’d be no reason to pre-position and strike a counterattack; he could have jumped straight in.”

“Since he didn’t, and chose to side with either number ten or eleven before their speeches, I’m inclined to believe he’s probably a high-tier good card.”

“Also, number three’s speech has already revealed number seven’s perspective: he sees seven, ten, and eleven as werewolves and suspects number six might be one too, but his main target is seven. As for six…”

Big Wave Sister’s beautiful eyes shimmered.

Her gaze passed over Wang Changsheng and settled on the cute girl on the other side.

After a pause, she continued, “Anyway, the seer’s first night alert is number six, so I won’t say more. I’m a good card. This round, I suggest voting out number nine, and the seer should check number six. If it’s a kill, then proceed with the kill. If it’s confirmed good, we’ll listen to the external player’s speech.”

“Passed.”

[Player number seven, please begin your speech.]

When the judge’s voice fell,

Wang Changsheng pressed his lips.

At this moment, the two werewolf cards on the field fixed their eyes tightly on him.

In fact, if he wanted to, Wang Changsheng still had some points to argue from his earlier speech.

There were only two werewolves left, so they wouldn’t miss any opportunity to challenge and push out good players.

So number six, the cute girl, was already prepared.

After number seven finished speaking, she planned to expose all the explosive points from his speech but still defend him.

She wanted to create the impression that they two, the external good players, knew each other.

That way, once the seer confirmed her kill tonight,

she could decisively reveal herself, taking the seer with her, forcing the good players to push number seven out.

If a deep-cover werewolf remained on the field, there’d still be a chance to keep fighting!

Unlike number six’s internal tension,

Wang Changsheng spoke casually, “I rarely pay attention to the external player’s speeches from this position, but that’s alright. Number three fully revealed his perspective when he was eliminated.”

Hearing this, many frowned, unsure what Wang Changsheng meant.

“Do you find it strange? Actually, I don’t. I think number three’s speech couldn’t have been made by a seer. In that position, his werewolf teammates would definitely choose a counterattack, not a charge. So those voting for him from the non-seer side aren’t necessarily werewolves.”

“Of course, I’m not defending number nine. But think about it—number one the witch even voted for number three. After hearing his brainwashing-style speech, for the non-seer side to dare vote for him, there’s a good chance they’re a good player. Otherwise, if the werewolves knew number three wasn’t the seer, why would they make him such a focal point?”

“So player number eight, a confused card isn’t necessarily a werewolf. Without perspective, it’s actually very difficult for the good side to identify the seer.”

“I’m saying all this not to pull number nine out of the wolf pit. He did vote for a card I think is werewolf, so there’s werewolf evidence. But everyone should also consider whether there’s even a slight chance he’s a good player.”

Wang Changsheng paused, then looked up at player ten.

“I believe the seer can recognize me as a good card from my speeches, right? Number three was eliminated alongside numbers ten, eleven, and seven, so as long as you recognize me as good, I can help you talk a little about the night alert strategy.”

“I agree with your first night alert on number six. As for the second night alert…” Wang Changsheng’s gaze casually flicked past number five.

Unbeknownst to him, number five suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

“This little brat wouldn’t want the seer to check me, would he?!”

He panicked internally but kept a calm expression.

Wang Changsheng continued, “Regarding number nine, you can also check him tonight. If he’s good, then listen carefully to which external players want to push him out this round; they’re probably werewolves.”

“Of course, player number eight from earlier—I recognize you. Usually, people would have a poor impression of number nine after he voted for a suspicious card and made an awkward speech. I understand that.”

“But after hearing my speech, if you still try to shove number nine into the wolf pit without considering his good side, you might be a werewolf.”

Wang Changsheng let number one take on the witch’s role.

In this game, number eight, Big Wave Sister, was the guard. From her earlier speech, she would definitely protect player number ten tonight.

If the werewolves chose to strike number ten, she could save the antidote.

However, the werewolves would likely target an external player.

He definitely wouldn’t reveal himself as the witch now because he couldn’t convince number eight to protect him at night.

For the guard, this was a gamble of the highest stakes.
