Lin Yu's previous strategy was exactly as Xia Yue had said—find the most suspicious person and use his ability directly.
But at this moment, after experiencing two chance encounters during the day and listening to the speeches in the meeting just now...
Lin Yu felt everyone was suspicious!
Yao Zhengye and Bao Liu were suspiciously sticking together, and they seemed to be looking for someone!
Chen Zhuo's attitude towards him suddenly changed, and he didn't know what Xu Xiumei had said to him.
Then there was Yu Longguo, the "Soldier," who was walking alone.
Ever since he proposed "pairing up in twos" during the group assignment today and was in a hurry to push for it, this guy had been extremely suspicious in Lin Yu's eyes.
Especially when the last group could have acted together with three people, he insisted on going alone...
What exactly did he want to do?!
Lin Yu didn't even trust Xia Yue, who had been with him all day!
After they went downstairs to handle the task, Lin Yu estimated...
The storage room was too close. No matter how much they delayed or procrastinated, they couldn't have taken that long!
Moreover, even if they "really couldn't find anything"... would searching tire Xia Yue out that much?
Everyone was suspicious!
Lin Yu felt his thoughts were in a complete mess.
"Forget it, I can't not use my ability."
Thinking this, Lin Yu decided to randomly choose someone to use his ability on.
"Let's go with Bao Liu!"
Lin Yu thought, then activated his ability—having gained the Detective's ability, he instinctively knew how to use it.
Lin Yu silently recited Bao Liu's name while picturing Bao Liu's appearance.
Next, he felt a mysterious sensation, as if Bao Liu's soul was laid out before him.
With just a thought, he could uncover the secrets that person was hiding... whether they were related to this game or any other secrets Bao Liu had, he could easily find out.
"I want to know Bao Liu's identity in this game."
Lin Yu had a thought, and then a memory scene appeared before his eyes!
The scene was from Bao Liu's first-person perspective.
He furtively used a piece of letter paper to cover his identity card, carefully examining it.
And the text written on the identity card was...
"Your identity is: Werewolf."
Then, the scene dissipated.
Lin Yu was a little taken aback.
Bao Liu was actually a werewolf... In that case, he and Yao Zhengye were likely both werewolves?
"Hey, Detective, who did you investigate? Hurry up and tell us the information!"
At this moment, Bao Liu's impatient voice rang out.
Lin Yu looked up at the surrounding people and opened his mouth.
The best strategy now was undoubtedly to directly tell everyone "Bao Liu is a werewolf" and vote him out together.
But...
Was it really like that?
Lin Yu let out a breath and made up his mind.
"I used my ability to verify someone's identity, but... I'm sorry everyone, I can't reveal my findings right now."
As soon as Lin Yu said this, everyone's expression changed slightly.
And Chen Zhuo, the otaku with the least composure, immediately became anxious: "No, bro, if you investigated, just say it. What do you mean you can't say? Why are you being so mysterious, acting like a riddle-maker?"
Lin Yu didn't answer, just glanced calmly at Chen Zhuo.
After Chen Zhuo spoke, Yu Longguo also echoed Chen Zhuo with displeasure: "Detective, what do you mean by this? Whether you found a werewolf or a human, reporting it would be the best choice, right?"
Bao Liu also spoke with a gloomy expression, but he didn't echo Chen Zhuo and Yu Longguo.
"You're a detective who's so hesitant and secretive about your investigation, you're no good—and you, you shut-in otaku, I'll curse your ancestors, you're the one who invented riddle-makers, stuttering even when talking about abilities, giving the detective a reason to hold back now."
"And you, Soldier, acting all high and mighty after walking alone all day, I hate people who act like that the most, damn it!"
Bao Liu unleashed a barrage of insults, cursing all three of them.
Only after Bao Liu finished cursing did Lin Yu speak leisurely.
"Do you guys really think it's beneficial for me to reveal everything I find?"
"Think carefully, you idiots. What if I found out that person's identity was Human?"
Relying on his proud detective persona, Lin Yu attacked back directly, targeting everyone indiscriminately.
When he said this, Xia Yue was stunned for a moment, then remembered what Lin Yu had said during the day about "werewolves not knowing each other's identities."
Xia Yue suddenly realized, "That's true. If the person I checked was human... then reporting it might not be very beneficial!"
Chen Zhuo was a bit confused, "How is that possible? This is equivalent to getting a 'golden water' [a confirmed innocent player], giving us good guys a clearer view to eliminate a 'wrong option'. How could it be useless?"
Xia Yue, speaking on behalf of Lin Yu, patiently explained, "However, this is very different from a normal 'Werewolf' game. You might not have noticed—werewolves don't know who their teammates are."
Chen Zhuo was taken aback, "So what?"
Lin Yu leaned back slightly and said in a languid tone, "The werewolves didn't kill anyone on the first day. Could there be a reason for that? Perhaps they were afraid of attacking their own teammate?"
With Lin Yu's explanation, Chen Zhuo finally understood.
"So that's how it is. Not only is the good guys' vision limited in this game... the werewolves' is too!"
"So you're not saying anything, Detective, because you're afraid of giving the werewolves a target they can 'kill' safely, and also narrowing down the range for them to find their teammates, right?"
Lin Yu chuckled, "Well, you're not so hopelessly stupid after all."
"Then what do we do today?"
Xu Xiumei asked with a frown.
"My proposal is not to nominate anyone," Lin Yu naturally steered the conversation again. "Daytime is a peaceful day, and nighttime is a peaceful night—we'll make a decision after I get tomorrow's verification results, how about it?"
As Lin Yu spoke, the meeting room fell silent again.
Yu Longguo said coldly, "What if the person you check tomorrow is also human?"
"I'll announce it if I check a human too. Out of the remaining five humans, two are werewolves. It's still a good situation to be in—and besides, if you believe my verification results, you're implicitly acknowledging me as a good person," Lin Yu said casually. "And who knows, maybe tomorrow I'll check and find a werewolf right away."
He said this with a smile, speaking somewhat optimistically.
Xu Xiumei, however, poured cold water on him, "A two-fifths chance. While not low, the possibility of checking a human is still greater."
Lin Yu shrugged noncommittally.
The theoretical probability of him finding a werewolf today was only one-third, yet he had still managed to expose Bao Liu immediately?
But as he thought of this, Lin Yu suddenly had an epiphany.
"Wait a minute, is this really because... of luck?"
Such intangible things were precisely what Lin Yu believed in the least!
