Lin Yu's Scheme! Yao Zhengye is Tricked!

Lin Yu noted down the "tasks" he had to do before leaving the meeting room alone.

He still went up to the second floor.

The first task was in the second-floor kitchen, and the task was to clean the kitchen stove.

When Lin Yu arrived at the kitchen, he closed the kitchen door and let out a sigh.

"So tired..."

But the exhaustion was worth it.

His "excited" and somewhat "idiotic" speech and performance last night had definitely left a deep impression.

Now, the other four Players besides Chen Zhuo, meaning the remaining four surviving Werewolves, probably all believed more or less that he was their teammate.

There was no need to even mention Yu Longguo and Xu Xiumei...

Even Bao Liu and Yao Zhengye, who had confirmed identities with each other, might feel something was off.

"I just don't know if these two will be smart enough to also conclude that 'there are five Werewolves'..."

Lin Yu held a rag and wiped the bloodstains on the stove, unable to help but ponder.

Of course, he hoped these two wouldn't notice!

Just as he was halfway through wiping the stove, the kitchen door was opened.

Yao Zhengye sneakily poked his head in and then looked at Lin Yu.

He smiled and spoke.

"Detective Brother... Brother Lin! Doing your tasks?"

Seeing Yao Zhengye come alone, looking so cautious, Lin Yu already understood seven or eight parts of the situation.

As expected, Yao Zhengye and Bao Liu hadn't figured out the truth that "there are five Werewolves"!

Yao Zhengye coming alone...

He was probably here to confirm if his identity was a genuine "Werewolf"!

If he was real, then Bao Liu must be the imposter!

But even so, Lin Yu still pretended not to know what Yao Zhengye was up to, subtly showing a wary expression.

He placed his hand on his lower back and said cautiously.

"You're the Thief... why are you here alone? Where's your teammate?"

"I'm warning you, don't come any closer!"

Lin Yu said coldly. Yao Zhengye quickly replied.

"Big Brother, I know you're a Werewolf--we're teammates!"

As he spoke, Yao Zhengye quickly took out a sharp hand axe from his chest. A wolf's head was carved on the handle.

"See, this is my exclusive Werewolf weapon."

Lin Yu was slightly surprised when he saw it.

"You're a Werewolf too?!"

He naturally drew the dagger from his lower back and weighed it in his hand, but then suddenly put on a fierce expression.

"Wait, could you have used the Thief's ability to steal my Werewolf teammate's weapon and are trying to trick me?"

As Lin Yu spoke, Yao Zhengye quickly replied.

"Big Brother, I'm really your teammate-- I saw you kill the Veterinarian on the third floor yesterday morning, and you were leaning on the railing retching next to the body!"

"But I didn't tell anyone in the meeting last night... You must believe I'm your teammate now, right?"

Yao Zhengye hurriedly tried to prove himself.

Only then did Lin Yu show a look of realization.

"So, you really are my teammate?!"

"That's great, we can act together... we can go for double kills now!"

"And even though that Soldier is powerful, he probably won't be a match for us two working together!"

Lin Yu said with an excited expression.

Seeing Lin Yu looking like he couldn't wait to rush out and kill, Yao Zhengye naturally believed Lin Yu was a Werewolf.

But he showed a conflicted expression.

"But Detective Brother, this is a bit strange," Yao Zhengye said with some hesitation, "The Thug in my group also seems to be a Werewolf-- and we confirmed identities yesterday."

As expected!

Lin Yu had anticipated this information from Yao Zhengye!

And the reason the other party chose to tell him this... was probably because he leaned more towards Lin Yu being his true teammate.

So, Lin Yu also showed a surprised expression: "Hmm? How did you figure that out?"

Yao Zhengye scratched his head and chuckled, "Detective Brother, your guess about my ability was correct. As the 'Thief', my ability is indeed to steal items from others. I can randomly steal one item from a person once a day!"

"After completing the first task yesterday, the Thug sneakily made an excuse to go to the restroom and leave. But I peeked, and the direction he went wasn't towards the restroom at all."

"When he came back, I was suspicious, so I used my 'Thief' ability on him, and... I found a watermelon knife engraved with a wolf's head on him! This is clearly a Werewolf's exclusive weapon!"

"I judged him to be a Werewolf at the time, so I confronted him, revealed my identity, and gave him back the watermelon knife."

"The Thug didn't believe me at first, but then we found a 'Werewolf Box'. After I opened it in front of him, he completely believed me!"

As Yao Zhengye spoke, he fell into thought, "Brother, do you think there might not be just two Werewolves?"

Listening to Yao Zhengye's account, Lin Yu's mind was also racing.

Should he tell Yao Zhengye the "truth" here to gain further trust?

No, wait!

Just now, during Yao Zhengye's narration, there was a "fatal trap" that could allow him to crush Bao Liu here!

Lin Yu suddenly had an epiphany, looked at Yao Zhengye, and his expression turned grim.

"Damn it, that bastard Thug played you!"

"Using the Werewolf Box and weapons to detect if someone is a Werewolf is indeed a good idea... but, don't forget the Thug's ability!"

As Lin Yu said this, Yao Zhengye's expression also changed drastically.

"Damn it, his ability is to ignore rules once... he used his ability to open the Werewolf Box!!"

"Oh no, my identity has been exposed to him!"

Under Lin Yu's guidance, Yao Zhengye reached a conclusion.

And the more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed...

Given Bao Liu's arrogant and volatile personality, using his "Thug" ability to forcibly open the Werewolf Box and find a weapon for self-defense was too plausible!

At this moment, Lin Yu struck while the iron was hot.

"I just used my Detective ability today... the Thug's identity is Human!"

Upon hearing this, sweat beaded on Yao Zhengye's forehead. "What should we do, Detective Brother? My identity has already been exposed to him!"

Lin Yu immediately said in a deep voice to comfort Yao Zhengye, "Don't worry, he didn't report you at yesterday's meeting, which means he still intends to play along with you for now."

"Given his selfish and volatile personality, he probably wasn't planning on telling anyone else your identity... This guy is likely planning to expose two Werewolves himself at once! Or perhaps he's planning to kill the Werewolves himself!"

"And, I strongly suspect he'd be happy to see the Werewolves kill a few more people first, letting the situation turn 'bloody'... Even if they're on the same faction, he might not want the others to survive."

"For example, when I killed Xia Yue yesterday, he was probably overjoyed—after all, Xia Yue had an argument with him on the first day!"

After Lin Yu finished speaking, Yao Zhengye nodded in agreement.

"This Thug is indeed... So what do we do now, Brother Lin!"

Lin Yu's expression turned fierce, and he made a throat-slitting gesture.

"Strike first to gain the advantage—while he's not prepared, go and ambush him directly, kill him!"
