The Administrator's authority was even greater than Lin Yu had imagined.

Not only did they have a full map of the castle at all times, but Lin Yu was surprised to find that the map was updated in real-time.

The locations of the other players, and which boxes had been opened, were all reflected on it instantly.

The storage room on the first floor was currently empty.

So, without hesitation, Lin Yu left the conference room and headed straight for the storage room.

Then...

Inside the storage room, Lin Yu opened the box.

A heavy pistol, glinting with cold light, fell into Lin Yu's hand. He felt a sense of unreality.

At the same time...

It brought with it an indescribable sense of security.

With this pistol, he would have the ability to protect himself even if he faced Yu Longguo again!

"Phew... That's great!"

Lin Yu tucked the pistol into his waistband and looked at the map again.

On the map, Yao Zhengye's name and Bao Liu's name overlapped – at the other end of the first floor.

Lin Yu's interest was immediately piqued.

"Even if you two aren't working together, it seems you have quite a connection."

A moment later...

Yao Zhengye's name disappeared, leaving only Bao Liu's name.

Lin Yu understood.

"Ah, as expected, without the advantage of a surprise attack, a Thief can't defeat a Thug."

Thinking this, Lin Yu decided to go and see for himself.

After all, with the pistol on him, he wasn't afraid of Bao Liu going berserk and attacking him.

Lin Yu left the storage room and headed towards the other side of the first floor.

Soon...

At the entrance to the restroom, Lin Yu saw Yao Zhengye's body lying on the ground, covered in blood, and Bao Liu panting heavily beside him.

Bao Liu's hands were covered in blood – he wasn't even holding a Werewolf weapon!

The two had fought bare-handed!

In the end, Bao Liu had beaten Yao Zhengye to death with his fists!

Seeing Lin Yu approaching from a distance, Bao Liu straightened up, breathing heavily.

"Yo, isn't this Administrator? You honor us with your presence!"

Lin Yu smiled and said.

"Ahaha, you players really do give me quite the surprise... I never expected the first death to happen so soon!"

Bao Liu chuckled at his words. "Ha... Are there any first kill rewards or anything?"

"Theoretically, no, but since you mentioned it, I'll give you a free piece of information – under the sink in the restroom behind you, there's a Werewolf weapon box. Hope you can use it."

Lin Yu said with a smile.

Bao Liu narrowed his eyes. "Oh, you don't know our faction identities, do you?"

"I don't know, but I can guess," Lin Yu smiled. "Attacking so quickly... and it looks like you attacked Yao Zhengye first, which means you must be from a faction that needs to 'kill' people. In your eyes, it's going to happen sooner or later anyway, isn't it?"

Bao Liu nodded meaningfully.

He turned and walked into the restroom, and indeed found a hidden Werewolf box under the sink.

Bao Liu didn't hide it from Lin Yu and directly opened the box, taking out a hammer.

"A bit of a niche item, but... better than nothing."

Bao Liu weighed the hammer and commented.

Holding the hammer, he looked at Lin Yu, a fierce look returning to his face.

"Tell me, Administrator, do I still have an unused 'question' opportunity?"

Bao Liu said, and Lin Yu nodded calmly.

"Of course, do you want to ask me a question now?"

"Okay... My question is – where is the other player closest to me?"

Bao Liu's face showed an excited, bloodthirsty smile.

Lin Yu glanced at the map and casually replied.

"At this particular time... in the center of the castle, on the spiral staircase between the first and second floors, there's a Veterinarian there."

"But she's moving too."

As Lin Yu spoke, Bao Liu narrowed his eyes, his gaze fierce.

"A veterinarian, I understand..."

He licked his lips and quickly headed towards the stairs in the center of the castle.

Lin Yu had a good grasp of Bao Liu's strategy as a "Thug"—his plan was simple and brutal.

Before the bodies of the people he'd killed were discovered...

Kill as many people as possible!

It didn't matter if they were teammates...

What mattered was killing!

If he killed everyone else, he would win the game!

"That's great, Bao Liu, I'm starting to like you..."

Lin Yu watched Bao Liu's retreating back and murmured to himself.

Without a doubt...

Bao Liu's thoughts and actions were exactly what Lin Yu had hoped to see.

This was why Lin Yu had approached Bao Liu after he killed Yao Zhengye, and even thoughtfully told him where to find "weapons."

Those who have started killing are easily led to kill again.

He looked at the map again...

Bao Liu's name was rapidly approaching Xia Yue.

Then...

The next moment, Bao Liu's name suddenly disappeared.

Lin Yu was taken aback for a moment, then...

He shrugged.

"Alright, that works too!"

Lin Yu headed towards the stairs.

Before long, Lin Yu saw Bao Liu's corpse—a gruesome wound bled profusely from his neck, and there were two slashes on his arm.

His eyes were wide open, as if he had died with regrets.

Beside him, Xia Yue, who had already left, returned from the second floor.

She saw Lin Yu and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah, it's you, Administrator..."

Xia Yue held a dagger in her hand—the same one she had last time.

This made Lin Yu sigh again...

Fate truly is wondrous.

"Hello, do you have any questions you need to ask?"

Lin Yu looked at Xia Yue and asked with a smile.

Xia Yue pondered for a moment, blinked, and asked a question.

"Administrator, may I ask—which players are still alive?"

"Besides you, there are 'Lone Wolf,' 'Soldier,' 'Teacher,' and 'Otaku'..."

Lin Yu said as he looked at the map, but he suddenly paused.

"Ah, wait, 'Teacher' just died."

On the map, among the names of Xu Xiumei and Yu Longguo, which were overlapping, Xu Xiumei's name disappeared.

To be honest, Lin Yu had been startled when he saw the names of Xu Xiumei and Yu Longguo overlapping again.

Fortunately, due to Lin Yu's "statement" and the fact that Xu Xiumei no longer had the pistol...

This time, the two of them...

Did not get another chance to talk.

Now, the only werewolves left on the field were Xia Yue and Yu Longguo.

It was truly感慨... This game had only been going on for an hour, and so many people had already died!

Last time, no one had died for an entire day.

However...

This was a good thing, it meant the game was close to being won.

Lin Yu looked at Xia Yue and smiled.

"Well then, Miss 'Veterinarian,' I've answered your question."

"I'm going to look around elsewhere. Good luck."
