Veteran Player

Yimo walked over, drawing closer to Ordinary Girl Village Chief. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Why do you want to be the village chief so badly?"

Hearing Yimo's question, Ordinary Girl said with a dark expression, "Isn't it obvious? Because it's so cool!!!"

After saying that, she glared at Yimo.

Hearing that reason, Yimo felt both amused and exasperated. He didn't take it too seriously. Instead, he opened the voting system and directly cast his vote for her.

Ordinary Girl knew Yimo had voted for her, but she wasn't happy at all. Pouting, she said, "Tch, do you think I'm a child? You think you can fob me off that easily?"

"I won't be grateful to you, bastard!"

"I'm definitely not giving you my vote. You want to be village chief?"

"Wait until nine o'clock!"

Nine o'clock at night was when the system would automatically end the voting.

Yimo didn't continue chatting with her. He merely felt that this girl was interesting, as though she wasn't playing Death Game, but an ordinary game instead.

After standing up, he swept his gaze around the group. When he saw Dieyu, he felt her slightly resentful gaze on him and couldn't help shaking his head. Being looked at like that by a beautiful girl was a first for him.

He didn't dwell on it. Clapping his hands, he said, "Everyone, since you've acknowledged me as village chief, I'll take responsibility and find the werewolves."

"Don't rush to look around the village yet. Sit down first and let those who haven't said much introduce themselves, shall we?"

Following Yimo's words, everyone nodded in agreement. Under his lead, they headed toward the circular table in the middle of the village.

The circular table looked somewhat like a conference table, though it was different in some ways.

Made entirely of brown wood, it looked highly artistic.

The empty space in the middle had a diameter nearly the size of half a basketball court, leaving enough room to walk around inside.

However, no one seemed willing to go in there.

That was because the platform piled up from stones in the center, along with the bronze pillar in the middle, looked unmistakably like an execution device for punishing criminals—or dealing with werewolves.

This... was an execution ground!

For some reason, Yimo subconsciously thought of Joan of Arc.

Framed and burned alive at the execution grounds.

Looking at the bronze pillar before him, he thought,

How many of those executed here later will truly have drawn the werewolf card?

Or even if they did draw the werewolf card, should they really be burned alive?

Yimo thought not!

This was absolutely abnormal—even utterly deranged!

But...

A red glint flashed beneath Yimo's broken bangs.

I absolutely won't let anyone kill me!

Sympathy didn't mean he would sacrifice himself.

Yimo had never considered himself a good person.

Or rather, so-called good people were only good by comparison.

Good to some people, that was all!

After everyone took their seats, they all waited for Yimo to speak first.

As for Yimo—

He nodded and looked around. Finally, he turned toward Ordinary Girl. After thinking for a moment, he pointed at her and said, "Ordinary Girl, would you like to introduce yourself?"

Hearing this, Ordinary Girl Village Chief glared at Yimo and said, "Tch, damn arrogant, gloomy man. Who are you calling ordinary?"

"You're exactly the type I hate most."

"Hehehe... Though everyone else doesn't look like much either. We're probably about even."

"I'm sixteen, the village chief, a shut-in, and a hardcore otaku. But unlike a certain someone, I'm not useless."

"Heh... My specialty is hacking. If I don't like someone online, I hack their computer."

After Ordinary Girl Village Chief finished introducing herself, everyone fell silent...

Uh...

For some reason, compared to her, Siba Jungler's personality seemed fairly decent?

Yeah, that was the illusion they had.

There really was no knowing the difference without comparison.

Even Old Du Liu didn't know how to smooth things over.

He even felt that Siba Jungler and Ordinary Girl Village Chief, both wearing gloomy, deadpan expressions, actually made a pretty good match.

Of course, he would never say that aloud.

After Ordinary Girl Village Chief finished her introduction, Yimo actually nodded. "You really are more impressive than me!"

Hacking people's computers was seriously awesome, wasn't it?

When Yimo encountered trolls, he usually just took a look before resorting to the great A-Q spirit. It was rather helpless and depressing.

After saying that, he pointed at the extremely arrogant-looking girl, Pikachu, and said, "Introduce yourself."

Hearing this, Pikachu stood up with her hands on her hips. "Pikachu, twenty-five years old, restaurant owner, and I like handsome men."

After saying that, she looked at Yimo. "Siba Jungler, although in my eyes you're indeed quite handsome, you're too gloomy. You're not my type."

Hearing Pikachu's lofty remark, Supreme One couldn't hold back his laughter. "Hahaha... hahaha..."

"You're killing me... She really thinks she's Yang Gu—"

Before he could finish, he suddenly felt a chill run through his body for no apparent reason.

He froze at once. Then, following that feeling, he turned his head and happened to see Yimo glaring coldly at him. Pikachu was also angrily glaring at him, cursing him loudly.

"Well... Big brother..." Supreme One felt he could still be saved. Maybe someone could heal him.

"You're done for. Shut up!" But Yimo directly issued him a death sentence.

Then he said to Pikachu, "Continue. I don't like my type either, but this is just how I am. I can't change it. Sorry about that."

Hearing this, Pikachu looked Yimo over carefully. Suddenly, she felt that he was actually quite handsome, especially when he had argued with Supreme One.

He was really manly, wasn't he?

She suddenly felt that he was quite promising after all. Her face flushed, and she became bashful. "Well... um... this is my second Death Game. I've played Werewolf before, but I wasn't good at it. We just traded insults, so I deleted it!"

"That's... that's all!"

After saying that, Pikachu hurriedly sat down.

At that moment, Yimo slapped his forehead, feeling that he shouldn't have asked her to introduce herself.

Yet in his heart, he felt that this decision wasn't bad either.

Because during the voting stage, Pikachu's vote—

Yimo felt he could control it!

The right to vote was the capital of this game's daytime phase!

The next person to introduce himself was Cthulhu, a refined young man.

Yimo remembered very clearly that when Supreme One had begun attacking him, Cthulhu had secretly been the first to chime in!

"Cthulhu. This is my second Death Game. I don't have any special abilities. I'm just an office worker."

"Let me make this clear first: I have a villager role."

It was a very simple introduction. He stood up properly, bowed first, and spoke respectfully, with impeccable manners.

But precisely because of that, he had no distinguishing traits.

Among the group earlier, he had been fairly inconspicuous. That was why Yimo had asked him to introduce himself, hoping to learn more about him.

But he hadn't gained any additional information.

Yimo said, "Now that everyone has introduced themselves, there isn't much point in continuing. From here on, communicate more and get to know one another gradually."

"Exactly. There's also someone who hasn't said a word this whole time. That friend standing behind everyone, would you come out and introduce yourself?"

Following Yimo's words, a boy even less conspicuous than Cthulhu stood up.

He was under 1.7 meters tall, with a bowl cut. Glasses as thick as bottle caps covered half his face. He wore jeans and a white short-sleeved shirt.

"I am Conan. This is my fifth Death Game. I'm a third-year university student and the president of the board-game club." He adjusted the rim of his glasses, and a flash of white light gleamed across them. "I'm an experienced Werewolf player, with over three thousand games of online and offline experience."

Notes:

1. Jumping: In Werewolf, announcing what role your hidden card is called "jumping."

Claiming to be a villager is jumping villager. Claiming to have the Hunter Card is jumping gun or jumping Hunter. Claiming to be the Seer is jumping Seer.

Yimo's behavior was jumping gun (Hunter).
