Chapter 42: The Fifth Wolf
As Number 9 spoke, Cheng Xiao stared at him intently, a glimmer of deep thought flashing continuously in his gaze.
"I believe Number 8 is the werewolf card that was poisoned and removed. Mama Zhuang's wolf lineup consists of Number 4, Number 6, Number 7, and Number 9. Without a doubt, these four cards are high-tier players with exceptionally clear logic. Since the four of us good guys were pushed into the wolf team by Number 8, Number 8 must be a wolf, Number 4 must be the Seer, and Number 12 must be the fake claimant!"
"Number 7, you better reason through the logic well in a moment, and the other good guys should be able to switch their stances back. I believe your move in the previous game wasn't just because of your two teams. If you are a powerhouse role, you must lead us good guys to victory!"
At the end of his speech, Number 9 even turned his head to converse with Wang Changsheng.
The latter nodded expressionlessly.
Seeing that he received feedback, Number 9 finished his aggressive speech and shouted to pass the turn.
Wang Changsheng noticed that the muscles on Number 9's body were twitching with smugness.
If it weren't for professional training, Wang Changsheng felt his teammates would have burst out laughing right on the spot.
Is this guy for real?
Charging forward so hard for the wolf team!
Because the Hunter Number 8 had a clear perspective, he was able to point out three wolves on the first day.
Number 4, Number 6, and Number 7.
This level of skill was already considered quite decent.
Yet, they ran into this big brother Number 9.
Who actually helped their wolf team backtrack and recover their footing.
Simply hilarious!
This is truly their fifth wolf~
[Please, Player Number 7, begin your speech.]
Since Number 8 had already left the stage, it was his turn to speak next.
Wang Changsheng quickly suppressed his emotions and put on as calm an expression as possible.
Pausing for a fraction of a second.
Wang Changsheng's eyes looked at the small objects placed on the table.
Right now, he really didn't dare to raise his head.
He was afraid that if he made eye contact with his wolf teammates or Number 8, he wouldn't be able to help bursting into laughter.
"Player Number 7 speaking."
Wang Changsheng gave himself two seconds to buffer, then quickly organized his words.
"As for whether I am a powerhouse role or not, this round is not my turn, and I won't claim. As for the identities of Number 2 and Number 8 who have already been eliminated, I won't worry about them for now."
"Let me talk about why I chose to abstain and not cast this vote."
Talking about logic, Wang Changsheng quickly cast aside the urge to laugh from just moments ago and turned serious.
"First of all, although half of my speech during the open phase was to side with Player Number 4, I also talked about why I wanted to side with Number 4 instead of Number 12."
"During the runoff speeches, Number 12 painted me as a definite wolf, so I could have logically voted for Player Number 4. It was just that during the runoff speech, I felt that Player Number 4 didn't quite seem able to hold the Seer card anymore."
"Because his first Seer investigation flow could actually still be left on this Number 3 card, which is a point I cannot accept. The reason he seemed like a Seer during the open phase was precisely because he attacked Number 3."
"Now, instead of voting him out, you want to inspect one of the two cards in the graveyard. That way, version 1.0 of the logic might not hold up anymore; we'd have to look at version 2.0."
"In other words, it is indeed possible that he and Number 3 are playing wolf-on-wolf distancing."
"Aside from that, during the open phase, I was pretty much the only one siding with Number 4, and with only my card doing so, you still think I might be the hooked-on-the-side wolf. That is another point where I disagree with you, Player Number 4."
Wang Changsheng looked poised and unruffled, his thick black hair neatly styled because he had previously played in the preliminary matches for his team.
Coupled with his handsome face featuring sword-like brows and star-like eyes, it naturally made people's favorability surge instantly.
He had abstained just now because he caught the implication behind Number 4's words, and now he was going to muddy the waters for the good guys even further.
When Number 4 said at the time that he wanted to see his vote, he was actually hinting for him to abstain.
After abstaining and delivering a speech that portrayed him as someone who wanted to side with Number 12 but didn't dare to vote for him, anyone trying to frame him and Number 4 as double wolves would have to weigh whether Number 7 could genuinely be a powerhouse role.
There was even a chance to execute a sacrificial play and directly sink Number 12.
Wang Changsheng smiled at Number 12: "Of course, don't blame me for not casting my vote for you either, seeing as you painted me as a werewolf, and players on the outside also pushed me into the wolf team."
"Although in my heart I believe you should be my Seer, if I had blindly voted for you just like that, the good player cards on the outside might have thought that you and I were a pair of wolves."
If he had voted for Number 12, his words and actions would have contradicted each other.
Good players might think he was a wolf, but they wouldn't necessarily think Number 12 was definitely a wolf.
Therefore, his move was precisely to abstain, and then use his speech to smear Number 12.
"I hope the good players can accept me. Number 2 was definitely the Witch who left, there's no need to over-analyze that. Whether the Number 8 she poisoned was a wolf-checked-as-wolf or a genuine check, Number 8 left as a solid wolf; he couldn't possibly be the Hunter. Pass."
Wang Changsheng quickly finished expressing his thoughts and directly passed the turn.
Sometimes, when you want to achieve something, you shouldn't talk too much; letting it naturally ferment is the only way to succeed.
Whether Wang Changsheng was smearing Number 12 or discussing his own identity, he only touched upon it lightly and never said a word too many.
Otherwise, saying too much would only provoke resentment from others.
[Please, Player Number 6, begin your speech.]
Crow had a calm expression.
His eye sockets were somewhat sunken, and his figure was lean.
Yet his pair of eyes were full of spirit.
"During the open phase, I sided with Number 12. However, after the runoff speeches concluded, I still chose to side with Player Number 4."
"The reason is that half of his open-phase speech was spent discussing the identity of Player Number 7, and he also wanted to see whether Number 9 would vote for him before deciding whether to inspect Number 9 or Number 7 for his Seer investigation flow. From my perspective, this point is not up to standard."
"Because after discussing all this, he had to append a sentence at the end saying that if Number 9 didn't side with him, he would be voted out. But when he spoke, he also said that if Number 9 sided with him, his investigation flow would be to inspect Number 7. So if not siding with you means you get voted out, how are you supposed to leave your investigation flow? Isn't it still going to be this Number 7 card? You might as well just leave his investigation flow directly. Your line of reasoning makes me feel your perspective is a bit strange, making you look less like a Seer, which is why I voted for Player Number 4."
"Furthermore, I believe Number 9 is a good player. Number 2 abstained, so she couldn't possibly be a werewolf; I am also a good player, leaving Number 11 with no team. I have a favorable feeling about Number 5's tone, so in my eyes, the werewolves are Number 3, Number 8, Number 10, and Number 12."
"Only by siding with Number 4 can I piece together the complete wolf lineup, and I feel I shouldn't have chosen the wrong side. Moreover, when Number 8 was eliminated and pushed me into the wolf team, I strongly disagreed. The things he talked about lacked logic; he was merely pointing out seats, so I sided with Number 4 to push back. I hope the good players present can reconsider their stances. Pass."
At this moment, Number 6 directly stood up to charge forward.
Wang Changsheng, conversely, faded into the background once again.
Twists and turns followed one another.
The perspectives of the good players were thrown into chaos once more.
