Based on the premise that there are two humans and five werewolves, Lin Yu could come to a new conclusion...
Humans have two ways to win the game.
One is to mislead the werewolves, making them think they're voting out a human when they're actually voting out their own werewolf teammates.
The other is...
to hunt down werewolves in the game.
Just as no game rule ever stated "werewolves are outsiders"...
This game, while constantly emphasizing that werewolves are "more powerful" and "have weapon boxes," never stated...
that humans are necessarily the "prey."
Xia Yue was afraid of "exposing" the fact that she was a werewolf, but in reality, Lin Yu was more afraid than Xia Yue of her exposing herself!
Because if Xia Yue exposed herself, not only would Lin Yu not have "four human teammates" to vote with him...
it might even make the other werewolves realize that the number of werewolves was wrong!
Therefore, Lin Yu could only kill Xia Yue here.
He climbed up from the ground, looking at Xia Yue's corpse and the blood splattered on himself, and gagged while holding onto the railing.
"Gag--"
Then, noticing with his peripheral vision that the sneaky, short figure peeking at him from the third-floor stairwell corner had disappeared, Lin Yu immediately stopped his "performance of feeling sick after killing for the first time."
"As expected, 'Thief' Yao Zhengye is also a werewolf."
"Then my teammate can only be one of Chen Zhuo or Xu Xiumei."
He expressionlessly wiped the blood off his dagger on his sleeve and turned towards the first floor.
Of course, his heart was still somewhat turbulent.
No matter how much he reassured himself, "This is to survive," "Xia Yue attacked me first," "She's already dead"...
This was, after all, murder—killing with his own hands.
But it was precisely these turbulent emotions that made Lin Yu realize something with utmost clarity at this moment.
He wanted to live!
He wanted to return to the stage, to become an outstanding stage actor, to deliver soul-stirring performances...
And, he wanted to find out why that inexplicable "junior" wanted to kill him!
He would stop at nothing, even murder.
Lin Yu walked down the stairs, sheathed the dagger, and tucked it into his belt, hiding it behind his British-style coat.
As soon as he reached the first floor, Lin Yu bumped into Chen Zhuo and Xu Xiumei, who were coming out of the dining room.
Encountering Lin Yu again, Chen Zhuo was still highly alert.
But this time, he seemed to have gained some confidence and took the initiative to speak to Lin Yu.
"Hey, Lin Yu, why are you alone? Where's Xia Yue?"
Lin Yu spread his hands: "I don't know... I got separated from her, and I was looking for her too!"
"If you see her, remember to tell her to come find me on the first floor."
As Lin Yu spoke, Chen Zhuo frowned.
"Separated? How could that happen?!"
But Lin Yu ignored him and turned away, leaving in a hurry.
Afterward, he heard Chen Zhuo pulling Xu Xiumei upstairs.
Lin Yu let out a breath and walked towards the meeting room.
At the same time, he began to count down silently in his heart.
"Five, four, three, two..."
Before his countdown was finished, he heard the urgent chime of a bell.
"Dong, dong, dong!"
As the bell rang, the sky outside the window suddenly darkened.
Lin Yu understood. This was the bell for an emergency meeting!
Someone had discovered a corpse.
As expected, it was probably Chen Zhuo and Xu Xiumei who found Xia Yue's body on the stairs.
He walked to the end of the corridor and pushed open the door to the meeting room.
On the schedule in the meeting room, all the "task" times had frozen.
The clock on the wall had also reached seven o'clock in the evening.
Lin Yu swaggered back to his seat.
Not long after, Yu Longguo was the first to push open the door and enter.
He glanced at Lin Yu, narrowing his eyes slightly.
"Did you call this emergency meeting?"
"No."
Lin Yu shook his head and said concisely.
Yu Longguo was about to ask something else, but before he could speak, the meeting room door was opened again.
"Bang!"
Bao Liu pushed the door open with great momentum, and behind him, besides Yao Zhengye...
were Chen Zhuo and Xu Xiumei.
The four of them entered together.
Seeing this, Yu Longguo instantly understood.
"It seems the 'Veterinarian' is dead."
Yu Longguo said in a low voice.
The four who entered took their seats in order, and Chen Zhuo, with a pale face, spoke: "That's right... we found the Veterinarian's corpse..."
Chen Zhuo was clearly very shaken.
Xu Xiumei picked up the conversation and narrated the entire incident: "Chen Zhuo and I finished our mission on the first floor and were about to go to the second floor when we found Xia Yue's corpse on the stairs."
"She had a stab wound to her chest, which was likely the cause of death."
After Xu Xiumei finished speaking, Chen Zhuo finally recovered and glared fiercely at Lin Yu.
"It was him... he wasn't just the one working with Xia Yue, but Chen Zhuo and I found the corpse in the middle of the stairs in the ancient castle!"
"A few minutes before we found the body, we just bumped into him coming down the same stairs--I thought it was strange at the time and asked him why he was acting alone."
"He just vaguely said something about getting separated from the Veterinarian and left on his own!"
Everyone's gaze instantly focused on Lin Yu.
Chen Zhuo's statement... undoubtedly locked the suspicion onto Lin Yu.
Upon hearing Chen Zhuo's statement, Lin Yu burst into exaggerated laughter.
"Hahahahaha!"
He stood up, placed his hands on the table, and said coldly, "Everyone, I didn't kill anyone!"
"This fatso is framing me... I did get separated from Xia Yue, but how could I have killed her?"
"If I were really a Werewolf, would I be the first to target the Veterinarian I was traveling with!"
"Just now, when this idiot fatty accused me, I already checked him."
Lin Yu pointed at Chen Zhuo and said coldly, "His identity is, as I expected, a Werewolf!"
"He killed Xia Yue, who was in my group, and framed me just to slander me, the 'Prophet' with the highest identity on the scene!"
Lin Yu's tone was impassioned, and his words were interspersed with numerous personal attacks on Chen Zhuo.
Chen Zhuo naturally trembled with anger.
"What kind of nonsense are you talking about? I was always working with Teacher Xu..."
"That means you two are both Werewolves! Good people, listen to me, let's vote out this 'Otaku' this round, and send off the 'Teacher' tomorrow night according to the turn order, and the game is over!"
Lin Yu said very straightforwardly.
Lin Yu's logic was nonsensical, but his presence was very strong.
Coupled with Chen Zhuo being too angry to think straight, he couldn't come up with a rebuttal for Lin Yu for a moment.
Finally, Chen Zhuo took out a palm-sized device that looked like a walkie-talkie from his pocket.
"Okay, Detective, you say you didn't kill Xia Yue... Do you dare to say it again in front of this 'Lie Detector'?!"
"Teacher Xu's professional ability provided information that there are two key items belonging to the Human faction--we just found one of them, which is this 'Lie Detector'!"
