A beam of light swept across.

In front of the circular table, a sudden brightness appeared, and a candle lit up in front of each person.

As the candles lit up out of nowhere, they cast shadows over each person's expression.

Zhao Yi glanced around; at this moment, everyone's facial expressions underwent subtle changes.

Some sat upright, some wore fearless expressions, while others looked as bewildered as he did.

Of course, these were just appearances; no one knew what the others' identity cards were.

Originally not part of the same alliance, everyone now looked at each other full of suspicion.

Those beasts wanted to say something, but due to the rules of the game, even before they could speak, they'd probably be dead.

Now.

Twelve people sat together, and for the victory of the game, everyone was drawn into a process of constant suspicion and mutual slaughter.

At the moment their identity cards were revealed, the only ones who knew their teammates were the four wolves; their identities were interlinked. Aside from them, the rest who wanted to survive didn't seem to have any other way but to continually doubt and suspect others.

Moreover.

Suspicions must be more than mere words. In this game, there were still divine beings; randomly accusing a divine entity could very likely cost you your life.

Zhao Yi glanced around.

Suddenly, he recalled a sentence from his art theory textbook.

"Hell is other people!"

Others would also be an eternal threat.

In the moment identities remain undisclosed, an extreme test of human nature would unfold in front of this circular table.

As everyone discerned this, a grand voice again echoed in everyone's ears.

"The game officially begins!"

"Next, we enter the night phase!"

"Guards, please choose the player you wish to protect!"

"Werewolves, please take your actions, the White Wolf King can kill both at night and during the day!"

"At the same time, werewolves can self-destruct, taking any player with them in their death!"

Zhao Yi felt as if his five senses were sealed. Even though his eyes were open, he could see nothing.

He couldn't hear either; at this moment, it seemed as though everything around him was frozen, except his mind could still think.

Before long.

Zhao Yi felt as though only a moment had passed.

The hollow voice of the game resounded again.

"Prophet, please choose an identity card to inspect, among the eleven remaining, you can choose any player."

Then.

"Witch, will you use the antidote?"

This was a half-awake identity card, equally powerful as the Prophet, the most powerful divine card except the Prophet.

Not only does she have a bottle of antidote, which she can use to save someone after the werewolves kill,

But she also has a bottle of poison,

that can directly kill a player, taking that player's life without any justification.

This card is crucial; if the Witch cannot play well, the good team would collapse directly.

Zhao Yi could only hope this witch player wasn't one of the beasts, or else, if this divine card wasn't played well, it could really cause trouble.

Soon after.

The entire process concluded.

The scene changed, and everyone's senses returned. They looked around in astonishment, trying to discern any non-verbal cues from everyone's faces.

But unfortunately.

It seems the game intentionally prevents this kind of bug, as each face was covered with a layer of gray fog.

You could recognize who was who, but the subtle emotions on their faces were blocked by the mist.

Zhao Yi originally thought he could find something from this, but now he didn't know where to start.

Seizing the moment before the results were announced, Zhao Yi began to think continuously.

If I were a werewolf, who would I kill the first night?

Clearly, he and the beasts were in the same team. The main character had his own thoughts, Chen Zheng and Liu Shu were a couple, and the rest seemed to not know each other, they were all independent individuals.

No matter how the identities were distributed, on the first night, given the Witch's presence, they might save someone, and they would inevitably choose a player randomly to kill, but while it was said to be random, humans are emotional creatures, and they'd choose someone they aren't close to.

Definitely.

The first target wouldn't be someone close to them.

However, in this game, anyone could be the werewolf, White Elephant, Black Eagle, Gray Wolf, Xu Yue'Er, these four beasts could possibly be wolves, but they had no motive to kill him.

They had faithfully followed along the way.

Moreover.

Xu Yue'Er bore the prosperity of the Four Seas Dragon Race; she needed his help, the one who least wanted him dead was definitely her.

So...

A gleam appeared in Zhao Yi's eyes.

If he wasn't dead the first night, or if someone saved him, then she certainly wasn't a wolf.

Excluding the possibility that the four beasts were wolves together, what remained was difficult to analyze.

Not to mention earlier when the night fell, the four wolves definitely strategized for a long time, as comrades bound by life and death, they should have reached some consensus, to survive, they must haste to kill those they wished dead, leaving those they valued.

So by observing today's werewolf killings, they roughly could analyze some clues.

Zhao Yi wasn't claiming his intelligence was the highest among everyone, but at least it ranked toward the front.

Even though he held an ordinary civilian card, who says ordinary people couldn't turn the tide?

...

Returning thoughts, the game voice echoed.

"Last night was a peaceful night, no one died!"

The crowd let out joyful sounds, everyone exhaled a sigh of relief.

Anyway, no one died, which was relief enough.

Zhao Yi saw the expressions on their faces; suddenly, he felt that compared to the Divine tokens and civilian cards, the players holding those 4 Wolf Cards faced the utmost difficulty.

They neither wanted to kill those closest to them nor did they want to strive to survive.

In the night, they had to secretly conspire; during the day, they must act convincingly, without a moment to rest.

Any slip-up, and they'd immediately be eliminated.

Even to the point where, if a werewolf played foolishly, they might get caught by their own, getting killed by their teammates.

Zhao Yi felt somewhat grateful, fortunate not to have drawn a Wolf Card. Otherwise, the constant acting and deceit needed would be tormenting!

"Next, players are invited to start the police election!"

The police election is to vie for the police badge, determining from where the speaking would commence, meanwhile, following all players' speeches, they could provide a summary and coordinate votes; of course, the police captain holds 1.5 times the voting power, holding advantage in tied votes.

White Elephant, Gray Wolf, Black Eagle, and Xu Yue'Er had never played this game before.

They merely relied on years of experience, continually analyzing the gameplay, hence they didn't enter the election.

Neither would they carelessly participate without understanding, potentially causing defeat to the good faction.

Naturally.

Werewolves would also enter the election; should a werewolf secure the police badge, it would indeed be very dangerous.
