Since Lin Yu didn't reveal any investigative information, everyone defaulted to not voting today.
The first day's meeting ended without incident in silence.
As mentioned in the letter, they had to spend the night in the conference room.
The conference room was absolutely safe; the werewolves couldn't commit murder there.
So they didn't have to worry about being ambushed by werewolves while sleeping.
There were several sofas in the conference room, enough for them to rest.
However, even so, no one truly slept – everyone was clearly filled with anxiety.
Some sat, some lay down.
But everyone chose a spot alone, not getting too close to others.
Yu Longguo leaned against a sofa, eyes closed, resting. It was unclear if he had fallen asleep.
Bao Liu's eyes were half-closed, his gaze shifting slightly as he occasionally observed the others.
Chen Zhuo didn't sit down. Instead, he paced constantly within the conference room, looking like he was racking his brain.
"Can you stop walking around?" Xu Xiumei said softly.
Although Chen Zhuo's footsteps weren't loud, in the quiet conference room at night, they still disturbed others' rest.
"Uh, okay." Chen Zhuo sighed and found a place to sit down.
Xia Yue was lying on her side on the sofa, seemingly the only one asleep.
Yao Zhengye was curled up in a corner sofa, lost in thought.
Lin Yu casually leaned against a sofa, not sleeping, but constantly watching the clock on the wall.
He was waiting – waiting for midnight.
Earlier, at the end of the meeting, Lin Yu had vaguely formed a "crazy" guess.
Yet, this crazy guess could explain almost all the "strange things" that bothered him.
Soon...
"Dong--"
The heavy clock chimed, announcing midnight's arrival.
Lin Yu's ability as the [Detective] had also refreshed!
He had gained another chance to investigate the hidden secrets in people's hearts!
Lin Yu exhaled, then immediately activated his ability.
"I want to investigate Yu Longguo's secret!"
Lin Yu chanted silently, Yu Longguo's image appearing before his eyes.
The mysterious sensation returned. Lin Yu seized the moment and spoke aloud.
"Investigate Yu Longguo's hidden identity in this game!"
The scene of Yu Longguo opening the letter appeared before his eyes.
Unlike Bao Liu, Yu Longguo had immediately found the identity card and, with a natural glance, put it away.
It was so fast that Lin Yu almost didn't see it.
However, he still saw it.
The identity card read "Werewolf"!
Another werewolf!
At this point, Lin Yu had investigated two werewolves – according to previous deductions, the game should have already ended!
But Lin Yu showed no reaction.
He exhaled, feeling that his "crazy" guess was becoming more and more confirmed.
But up to this point, it was still just a "guess."
Lin Yu closed his eyes.
"Tomorrow, I'll be able to confirm whether my guess is correct or not."
And no matter the outcome tomorrow... whether the guess was correct or not.
This game would come to an "end"!
Of course, it was also possible that he would die during the "confirmation" process.
After all, the method of confirmation might be a bit dangerous.
Lin Yu thought, and slowly fell asleep.
The night passed without incident.
The next day, the grand clock chimed again, startling everyone who was already sleeping lightly awake!
"Clang--!"
Lin Yu got up from the sofa, and Soldier Yu Longguo had already walked to the schedule board.
"Today's missions have refreshed... Let's continue with yesterday's groupings!"
Yu Longguo said, and naturally, no one objected.
Bao Liu grumbled as he dragged Yao Zhengye over. Chen Zhuo and Xu Xiumei were already standing together...
Xia Yue yawned and also approached Lin Yu.
"Morning, Detective Brother."
"Morning, Veterinarian Sister."
Lin Yu said with a smile.
He had been a little nervous last night, but now he was completely relaxed.
As he spoke, Xia Yue pouted.
"Veterinarian Sister sounds so awkward..."
"What's the difference between that and Detective Brother?"
"It's totally different..."
The two whispered to each other, drawing Yu Longguo's displeasure.
"Alright, stop your private chats. Let's assign tasks quickly--each group's assigned area, it's best if it's the same as yesterday. That way, you'll be more familiar with the terrain and structures, making it easier."
"I've taken a look. The number of missions is quite balanced, and there are even some repeat tasks."
Yu Longguo said. Lin Yu and Xia Yue also stepped forward to receive their missions.
After receiving their missions, everyone filed out of the conference room and headed towards their respective assigned areas.
Lin Yu and Xia Yue once again stepped onto the stairs in the middle of the ancient castle.
In the early morning, a thin mist shrouded the windows of the ancient castle. The number of crows on the dead trees had also decreased by more than half, but the remaining few still faced the ancient castle, as if they were spying on something.
Listening to the footsteps of the other groups fade away.
Lin Yu suddenly stopped and looked down at Xia Yue from above.
"What's wrong, Detective Brother?"
Xia Yue tilted her head and said.
Lin Yu looked at Xia Yue, staring at her for a long time.
It was the first time he had observed Xia Yue in detail, and he found that this girl was even more attractive than he had imagined.
Although she wasn't wearing makeup, her skin was very delicate.
Her eyes were also watery, with double eyelids.
Her hair was so voluminous that even he, a university student, was a little envious.
And her job was a veterinarian, so she must love small animals, right?
"Sorry."
Lin Yu thought to himself, then looked at Xia Yue.
He was silent for a long time, then spoke seriously.
"Xia Yue."
He didn't use her "profession" as a form of address, but called her by her name.
Such a serious address made Xia Yue a little surprised.
"Huh? Why are you suddenly calling me that, do you want to..."
"I actually identified the werewolf yesterday."
Lin Yu interrupted Xia Yue.
Xia Yue was stunned when she heard this, and then shock appeared on her face: "Really, Detective Brother... Then why didn't you say anything last night? Couldn't we have just voted the werewolf out directly?"
Lin Yu sighed, a look of reluctance appearing on his face.
"Xia Yue, of course it's because... the person I identified was you."
He said in a low voice, his voice trembling slightly.
Anyone listening would feel as if he was torn between heaven and earth.
Xia Yue heard this and froze on the spot.
"You must be mistaken, Detective Brother..."
She said at first, but Lin Yu didn't respond. He just looked up at her.
After a long while, Xia Yue sighed, and a hint of sadness appeared on her face.
"What a shame. I actually had a pretty good impression of you... And I wasn't prepared to kill anyone either."
Although she said that, Xia Yue lifted her white coat, took out a dagger from her back belt, and held it in her hand.
"I'm really curious, when did you start suspecting me? And why did you suspect me?"
Xia Yue asked softly.
Lin Yu stood in front of Xia Yue, his face expressionless, and said in a calm tone.
"Maybe it's because your acting is too terrible, Veterinarian Sister."
Even when facing the dagger, Lin Yu still looked calm.
But this was only because his facial expression control and acting skills were too excellent.
Now, looking at the cold, gleaming dagger and Xia Yue's killing intent, Lin Yu felt his scalp tingle.
That "crazy guess" had indeed been confirmed!
The werewolves now include Bao Liu, Yu Longguo...
And Xia Yue!
The number of werewolves wasn't two at all!
It was...
Five people!!!
