After Lin Yu's smooth talk, Yao Zhengye, axe in hand, glared with murderous intent.
"Brother Lin, big brother, you're right, we have to strike first!"
"But I have a problem, Brother Lin... the thug is in my group. If I kill him, won't I be the prime suspect?"
Lin Yu waved his hand.
"No worries, just go ahead and kill him. While you're doing that, I won't be idle either—I'll find an opportunity to kill another one."
"Then, with two people dead at once, and both of us werewolves on the field... you saw the vote yesterday, as long as we two lock our votes, we won't be voted out!"
Lin Yu said with certainty.
"Even if I don't find a good opportunity, try your best to hide the corpse—maybe this way we can get a double kill and then vote out the last one in the meeting. Isn't that an instant win!"
Yao Zhengye felt victory was within reach after Lin Yu's persuasive speech.
"Okay, Brother Lin, I knew you were smart!"
"It's so great to have someone like you as a teammate!"
Lin Yu patted Yao Zhengye's shoulder: "But you have to be careful, because all of this depends on you successfully killing the thug... So, when you see him, don't hesitate, just do it! Don't hesitate no matter what he says!"
Yao Zhengye nodded excitedly.
"Don't worry, Brother Lin, I'll definitely split him in half with one axe!"
With that, Yao Zhengye picked up his axe and turned to leave.
Lin Yu watched Yao Zhengye leave, a smile curling on his lips.
Good, now whether Yao Zhengye kills Bao Liu or Bao Liu kills Yao Zhengye, the number of werewolves decreases by one...
What needs to be done next is to find a way to regain Chen Zhuo's trust.
If he could gain Chen Zhuo's trust, the game would be completely under Lin Yu's control!
Lin Yu recalled the tasks assigned to Chen Zhuo and Xu Xiumei.
By now, they might have completed the first and second tasks...
Lin Yu quickly cleaned up the table, completing his first task, and then headed towards the bedroom area on the third floor.
This was the location for Chen Zhuo and Xu Xiumei's third task.
Lin Yu scouted the area and was pleasantly surprised to find an unopened human "supply crate" in the bedroom.
"Such a good thing!"
Not long after...
Lin Yu saw Chen Zhuo appear there alone.
The little fatty climbed the stairs, panting, and stood at the bedroom door.
"What an opportunity?!"
Lin Yu was overjoyed. As Chen Zhuo approached, he immediately jumped out.
"Hey, Otaku!"
Lin Yu's words startled Chen Zhuo.
Seeing that it was Lin Yu, Chen Zhuo turned to flee.
But Lin Yu grabbed Chen Zhuo's plump body.
Before the otaku could call out, Lin Yu quickly spoke.
"Otaku, if I wanted to kill you, I would have slit your throat by now—so don't shout!"
As he spoke, Lin Yu drew his dagger and held it to Chen Zhuo's neck.
Chen Zhuo's face turned pale with fear, and he stammered, "Don't be impulsive, Teacher Xu is just finishing up the second task and asked me to come ahead. She'll be here soon! If you kill me, you'll definitely be voted out this time!"
"I'm not killing you. I know you're human, and so am I," Lin Yu said coldly. "I did kill Xia Yue, but she was the werewolf... she just got her knife back and killed me!"
"The rules of this game don't say humans can't kill werewolves—use your pig brain to think, could such a crucial information role as 'Detective' be a werewolf?!"
Lin Yu said with great momentum, adding, "There's a human supply crate in this bedroom. If you don't believe me, I can open it for you to see!"
He said this and released Chen Zhuo.
Chen Zhuo looked at Lin Yu with disbelief.
"Are... are you really human?"
"Of course!"
Lin Yu pushed open the bedroom door and went straight to the brown box in the corner.
Then, with a "click," he opened the brown human crate, took out food and water, and threw a loaf of bread to Chen Zhuo.
Chen Zhuo was now mostly convinced: "Holy crap, Detective... you really are human?!"
He showed an apologetic expression and scratched his head sheepishly: "Sorry about last night, I thought you were a werewolf."
But the apology quickly disappeared, and Chen Zhuo stroked his chin, saying, "But then again, I don't think it's entirely my fault... Last night, Detective, you acted exactly like a werewolf."
"I did it on purpose," Lin Yu said calmly, "because if I didn't act like a werewolf, I might have been voted out--aren't you curious why I seemed so much like a werewolf last night and only got your vote?"
Chen Zhuo was stunned: "What does that mean?"
"It means this game has a 'text trap'--the human faction are those two outsiders."
"The soldier is a werewolf, the thug is a werewolf, the veterinarian is a werewolf, the thief is a werewolf... and the teacher is also a damn werewolf! Only the two of us are human!"
Chen Zhuo was shocked by this news.
"Holy crap, is that for real?!"
Chen Zhuo ran his hand through his hair and muttered to himself: "But come to think of it, Teacher Xu never opened a human box... she even had me open the boxes for the lie detector and the pistol!"
After Chen Zhuo finished speaking, Lin Yu chimed in.
"Right? Teacher Xu... uh, wait a minute, the pistol?"
Chen Zhuo nodded: "Yeah, Teacher Xu's occupational ability is to get 'one piece of useful information about this game'... The information she got was that there are two super powerful 'items' for the human faction in this game, one is a lie detector, and the other is a pistol."
"The lie detector can verify the truth of one lie per day, and the pistol only has one bullet, but that bullet is guaranteed to hit."
Chen Zhuo said earnestly.
A bad feeling arose in Lin Yu's heart: "Where is that pistol?"
"With Teacher Xu..."
After he finished speaking, Chen Zhuo also had a "oh no" expression on his face.
The biggest "reliance" for humans to counterattack the werewolves was now in the hands of a werewolf!
Lin Yu was silent for a long time, then looked at Chen Zhuo.
"Spill it, Chen Zhuo, what exactly is your ability?"
"My ability is that when I maintain a 'still' state, my stamina consumption is reduced to one-third of a normal person's, and my recovery speed triples."
Chen Zhuo answered honestly.
Lin Yu was silent for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "Since the pistol only has one bullet, can you be responsible for taking that guaranteed hit later--a guaranteed hit doesn't mean guaranteed death, if you lie down and stay still, maybe the wound will heal!"
"After all, it's also because of your mistake!"
Chen Zhuo's face turned pale: "Bro, are you serious?"
"I'm just kidding, of course."
Lin Yu sighed.
Originally, the soldier was hard enough to kill, and now there was a teacher with a gun...
This game is really tough, Lin Yu could hardly imagine a worse outcome.
"We can only rely on a sneak attack, or maybe trick Yao Zhengye again..."
Lin Yu sighed, thinking of a solution.
And at this moment...
The bedroom door opened.
Looking at the duo walking in, Lin Yu slowly let out a breath.
So the situation... could actually get worse!
The two people who walked in were none other than the soldier Yu Longguo and the teacher Xu Xiumei!
