The Wonderful Use of the Lie Detector! Lin Yu Walks Alone!

Lie detector?!

Lin Yu was a little surprised when he saw the gadget Chen Zhuo took out.

But soon, a thought flashed through Lin Yu's mind, and he realized that the appearance of this thing was actually beneficial to him!

Lin Yu immediately looked at Chen Zhuo and said sternly, "Fine, a lie detector it is—are you scared I won't go through with it—turn it on now!!"

Chen Zhuo snorted, "Alright, let's see how tough you can be later."

Xu Xiumei chimed in from the side, "Don't try any tricks later, this lie detector can only test 'one sentence' per day."

Chen Zhuo froze for a moment and looked at Xu Xiumei, "Teacher Xu, why are you telling him this?"

Xu Xiumei seemed to realize she had spoken out of turn and looked apologetic.

"Oh... I'm sorry, I was afraid he would try to argue and waste this precious opportunity."

"But if he dodges the question later, we can directly say he's afraid of the lie detector, right?"

Xu Xiumei said seriously.

Chen Zhuo nodded.

"Okay, Teacher Xu!"

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes.

As expected, between these two... Chen Zhuo was more likely to be his "human teammate."

Xu Xiumei had just strongly hinted at something to him.

Of course, it didn't matter to Lin Yu.

"I won't play any tricks, let's just start."

Chen Zhuo pressed the button on the side of the lie detector.

"Let's begin!"

He pointed the lie detector at Lin Yu, and the indicator light on it lit up.

Lin Yu looked at the lie detector and calmly said, "Xia Yue's death has nothing to do with me."

"Beep—"

The indicator light on the lie detector turned red and emitted a sharp beep.

Chen Zhuo jumped up excitedly.

"Aha! You're lying!"

Lin Yu's face showed a look of shock—but this shock was also an act.

After all...

Lin Yu's goal was to make everyone present believe that he was the werewolf!

This way, the only one likely to vote for him would be Chen Zhuo.

And, from now on...

To all the werewolves, he would appear to be their most likely "teammate."

Therefore, Lin Yu's choice to confront Xia Yue on the stairs not only considered the terrain of the stairs, which made it easier for him to counter-kill the armed Xia Yue.

Another important reason was that the stairs were accessible from all directions, making it easy for the corpse to be discovered—this would make Lin Yu more suspicious.

As for why he did it so obviously...

Lin Yu glanced at Bao Liu and Yao Zhengye's group.

Yu Longguo and Xu Xiumei were easier to deal with; they would definitely recognize him as a wolf teammate.

But Bao Liu and Yao Zhengye might have already identified each other as werewolves on the first day!

Therefore, Lin Yu had to make his actions very obvious to make these two doubt their previous judgment and believe that he was the werewolf.

As expected, Bao Liu now had a "I'm thinking" expression, while Yao Zhengye was constantly glancing at Bao Liu out of the corner of his eye in disbelief.

Of course...

Even doing this, Lin Yu still had to put up a struggle.

What if the other "werewolves" thought it was hopeless and just voted him out directly?

Although the voting was anonymous, they would most likely avoid voting if they could—after all, there were only two werewolves on the field, so even if Lin Yu was voted out, if one person abstained, it would be easy to play dumb and insist "I voted."

But no matter what, he still had to try to argue.

Facing the red-glowing lie detector, Lin Yu began his almost argumentative "defense."

"What, you say I'm lying, so I'm lying? Maybe this thing's red light means the truth!"

"Besides, you say this is a lie detector, but I say it's a voice recorder, or maybe even a nail clipper!"

"Most importantly, even if I take a step back and say, so what if what I just said was a 'lie'? I said 'Xia Yue's death has nothing to do with me'... Is it possible that her death actually is related to me?"

"After all, it was because I got separated from her that you were able to kill her!"

Lin Yu spoke in rapid succession.

Chen Zhuo listened and sneered repeatedly.

"It's all just weak and powerless excuses. Do you see anyone believing you?"

"I demand a vote!"

Chen Zhuo shouted.

Suddenly, a ball of flame ignited in front of everyone.

Then, a piece of white paper and a quill pen dropped from the flames.

Bloody words appeared on the white paper.

"Write down the name of the person you wish to exile!"

Chen Zhuo picked up the pen and immediately began writing.

Lin Yu also wrote "Chen Zhuo" on the paper.

Afterward, the voting session ended--

"Swish!"

Flames appeared again, engulfing the paper and pens.

However, this time, everyone was starting to get used to the startling game and wasn't scared.

Next, bloody words appeared on the wall.

"The results of this round of voting are--"

"Lin Yu's votes: 1"

"Chen Zhuo's votes: 1"

"The votes are tied, and no one's vote count exceeded half the number of survivors, so no one is exiled."

The bloody words gradually faded.

Chen Zhuo was dumbfounded: "No way, guys..."

But before Chen Zhuo could speak, Lin Yu loudly interrupted him: "What are you guys doing? Why didn't you vote for this otaku! He's targeting me, the 'detective'-- I'm the highest role here! Damn it, I'm impressed! Do you know how to play or not, why aren't you following the votes?!"

Chen Zhuo was stunned and looked at Lin Yu, his mouth agape.

He really wanted to ask...

Why did you say all my lines?

Why are you, a werewolf, in such a hurry?!

However, the others, after being berated by Lin Yu and recalling their "vote counts," were also somewhat surprised.

Clearly, Lin Yu not being eliminated was... somewhat unbelievable to them as well.

However, Lin Yu observed that the remaining four people didn't seem too bothered by it.

As if with the mindset of "not being eliminated is good anyway," they had already started to rest.

Only Chen Zhuo, indignant, found a sofa in a corner and started snoring loudly.

And so...

Time arrived on the second day!

The sky brightened again, and Lin Yu climbed off the sofa.

Even though he had killed someone, he had slept better than ever last night.

It was time to assign tasks again.

Yu Longguo stood before the schedule and glanced at Lin Yu.

"Your 'partner' is dead... Regardless of whether you're the killer or not, how do you plan to proceed?"

"Of course, I'll team up with you. Soldier brother, you need to keep a close eye on this werewolf!"

Chen Zhuo quickly spoke up.

Lin Yu spoke at an unhurried pace: "But I think it's better for me to go alone... If I really am a werewolf, aren't you risking Brother Yu's life?"

Chen Zhuo said with some urgency: "But Brother Yu has the soldier's ability, and his physical fitness is five times that of a normal person..."

"Stop being so generous with other people's lives! Otaku, do you know that werewolves might have sharp weapons? Even with five times the physical fitness, you shouldn't put the soldier in danger!"

Lin Yu said sternly.

Chen Zhuo was rendered speechless by Lin Yu's moral high ground attack. His face turned red, and he couldn't say anything for a long time.

Xu Xiumei quickly tugged at Chen Zhuo.

"Okay, stop arguing with him."

Yu Longguo also gave Lin Yu a meaningful look and said calmly: "Alright, we'll do as you say!"
