Chapter 50: How did they manage to kill three people in one night?

[Player #5, please speak]

"As I just said, player number 10's identity is crucial. Now that player number 10 was killed on the first night, it's basically certain that they're a good guy. So the identities of players 7 and 9 are very delicate. But that doesn't necessarily mean that players 7 and 9 are werewolves. They just fell into my werewolf trap. Because I still think that the conflict between players 9 and 10 was started by player number 10, and player number 9 was just refuting it."

"If there really is a werewolf among players 7 and 9, then they should know that the one who was killed on the first night was player 10. In that case, wouldn't it be lowering their own status to clash with player 10?"

"Therefore, compared to players 7 and 9, player 2, whose speech was clearly chaotic just now, seems more suspicious."

Ichinose Honami helped ease some of the pressure on Shiina Hiyori, number 9, with a few words.

"Then what I want to say is that tonight the werewolves can skip killing the Seer (number 12) and instead kill one of the following six people: 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, or 9. I suspect the couple is among these six people, and there's about a one-third chance of finding them, which is actually quite high."

"Let's put it this way: today we'll eliminate number 2, the werewolf will kill another one, and the couple shouldn't be able to hide for long."

"Since player number 12 claimed to be the Seer, they're definitely not a couple. If they find a killer tonight, we can choose not to reveal this werewolf tomorrow."

"After all, neither we good guys nor you werewolves want to see a third party win, right?"

"That's it, it's over."

Shiina Hiyori's speech was quite skillful. From a completely good people's perspective, she managed to dispel suspicion about the three werewolves. She took advantage of the good people's psychology that they would think that player number 2 was a werewolf and would vote him out. If player number 2 was a werewolf, then there would only be two werewolves left in the game. If one of the werewolves was a couple, even if the good people investigated and killed one, they would not dare to vote it out, because this could lead to a third party winning directly.

At the same time, this also provides an additional guarantee for the werewolf camp, as it gives the other players a hint that the good camp should not easily give up the second werewolf.

It might mislead people in later polls.

After discovering that her werewolf teammate number 4 was Kitagawa Ryo, Shiina Hiyori's thinking immediately became more active.

She propped her head up with her right hand and poked at the number 4 avatar with her left finger.

Although she really wanted to confirm it herself during the werewolf chat session that night, Shiina Hiyori decided to hold back for the time being since she hadn't yet learned the identity of her werewolf teammate number 9.

Considering Kitagawa Ryo's deep-seated aversion to couples on the first night and during the day, Shiina Hiyori's statement this time was quite tactful in following suit.

Anything that hinders her and Kitagawa Ryo from achieving victory as werewolves should be eliminated.

"Hmm, it seems like they're deciding on either number 2 or number 9 now."

"Let me talk about the witch. The witch is most likely not among the couples, because even if she were chosen to be a couple, she wouldn't be able to determine on the first night whether her partner is a good guy or a werewolf. And there are 11 identities in total, excluding the witch, and only 3 werewolf identity cards. That means the probability of her partner being a werewolf is only three in eleven."

"I believe that a normal witch, upon realizing this, would choose to save the person, because the probability of her target being a good person is far greater than that of a werewolf, even more than twice as high."

"Werewolves are unlikely to self-harm to trick others into using the potion on the first night; those who get killed are usually good people, and might even be priests."

"Given this consideration, even a witch chosen to be a couple should prescribe the potion."

"So it's more likely that the witch didn't save anyone on the first night because her identity card was buried by the thieves."

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka spoke clearly and logically, he pondered Karuizawa Kei's position.

The civilians in the good guys' camp have the hardest time playing on this board because they have absolutely no information, and sometimes they can't even blindly trust the words of the priests, as the priests might actually be a third party's partner.

Under such harsh conditions, the fact that someone claiming to be number 6 could consistently maintain such highly logical statements made other players secretly wary of him.

"I agree to the suggestion made by player number 5 that the werewolf and the good guys temporarily cooperate to find a partner."

"Because my previous speech was about finding a partner, since nobody wants to be a stepping stone for a third party."

"Wolves, take note: when choosing your knife tonight, you can deliberately waver and see if any traitors on your team show any obvious reluctance to kill a particular player."

After a light, seemingly casual attempt to incite further infighting within the Wolves team, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka finally turned off his microphone.

To keep one's abilities hidden is a remarkable talent.

However, in the game Werewolf, demonstrating your value is the most crucial part.

To gain control of the situation and guide public opinion and voting within the "good guys" camp.

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka turned his attention to players number 1, 4, and 8, with Karuizawa Kei likely among them.

She should have already caught the message she was sending.

[Player #7, please speak]

"I've summarized the remarks made by everyone before me."

"Some players think that because player number 10 left the game, my identity and player number 9's identity are suspects. This kind of reasoning from effect to cause is too crude."

"Good people can make good or bad statements too. Just because I had a conflict with a good person doesn't mean I'm a werewolf."

"Anyway, I'm definitely not a werewolf, and if we're going to make a accusation, number 9 is more suspicious than me. After all, I only spoke up for number 9, and number 9 actually had a real conflict with number 10."

Player #7 was quick to shift blame, but the logic was rather weak.

"Anyway, in my case, one of the three players, numbers 1, 2, and 4, will be a werewolf, because numbers 5 and 6 have recognized me, so the chances of them being good people are higher in my case. Then, numbers 8 and 9 will be two werewolves."

He had just stated that he and number 9 shouldn't be declared werewolves because of number 10's death, but as the werewolf list was being filled, they realized there was no room for them, so they had to reluctantly add number 9. By this point in the speech, number 7's logic was becoming somewhat muddled, and he probably realized this himself, so he had to make do and say:

"If the prophet is still worried, he can verify my identity."

"That's too late."

[Player #7 has finished speaking]

[Player #8, please speak]

"The three wolves, numbers 2, 5, and 7, have a 9% margin of error; the three wolves are definitely among these four."

"I don't need to say anything more about numbers 2 and 9."

"As for players 5 and 7, player 5's statements have always been strange. For example, in the first round, she identified player 6 as a good person. You could say that she used her account number when she spoke, but just because the other party didn't label her as a werewolf, she directly made that assumption. That's a bit unfair."

"Then in the last round of speeches, they were frantically guessing and stirring up trouble for us, numbers 7, 8, 9, and 10. In this round of speeches, they suddenly seem like completely different people, starting to imitate number 6's logic to find a partner. What, are they no longer looking for wolves?"

"Are you worried that either number 7 or number 9, one of your werewolf teammates... might get carried out?"

Sakayanagi Arisu smiled knowingly, and after confirming that she and Kitagawa Ryo were most likely in the third camp, she went all out.

Anyway, it doesn't matter if everyone else, including Cupid, dies, except for the two of them.

"Everyone should be able to tell that number 7's logic broke down. However, it's also possible that the good guys were overwhelmed by too much information and the pressure of being labeled as werewolves, causing them to have a mental breakdown. So, to be on the safe side, I added number 9 as a margin for error."

"Waiting for the prophet to give his vote, it's over."

[Player #8 has finished speaking]

[Player #9, please speak]

Ichinose Honami took a deep breath, clutched the sachet in her hand, and held her forehead with her hand, her mind racing as she considered her current situation.

Because of the conflict with number 10 just now, number 9 is now almost a prime suspect. If it weren't for the two hidden talents, number 2 and number 7, she would most likely have been pushed out today. However, even if she survives today, Ichinose Honami probably won't make it past tomorrow's voting stage.

At this point, the only option left is to make a bluff.

Of the priests listed on this board, the Seer has been identified, the Witch is now the prime suspect, and her only remaining options are the Hunter and the Idiot.

Impersonating a thief is too risky, because thieves are born with a lot of information, which needs to be fabricated, and the more fabricated the information, the easier it is to be exposed.

[Hunter] or [Idiot]?

[Hunter]!

At this point, you absolutely need a powerful divine class card to protect yourself.

Her own profession is [Wolf King], and like [Hunter], she has the ability to shoot. Even if she is thrown out, she can pretend to be Hunter and fire a shot to confuse the good guys about the number of live wolves on the field.

Fortunately, in this round, after her, apart from number 12 who received the vote, only number 11 and number 1 from Jinshui spoke.

In other words, as long as these two priests are not among these two, even if the real [Hunter] wanted to object, he would have to wait until tomorrow daytime.

After confirming the strategy, Ichinose Honami spoke in a relaxed tone:

"Looks like I have no choice but to reveal my identity. My trump card is the Hunter. Now no one should suspect I'm the Werewolf, right?"

Sakayanagi Arisu instantly realized the real crisis.

Her trump card is the real hunter; from her perspective, player number 9, who was claiming to be the hunter at this point, is definitely a wolf.

However, she was unable to speak because her speech on the 8th was given before the 9th.

And what's most crucial is that Sakayanagi Arisu isn't an ordinary hunter; she's a hunter in a relationship.

If Player 9 claims to be the Hunter at this point, Seer 12 will definitely be skeptical, because it's highly likely that it's just a ploy to clear their own identity.

Generally speaking, at this point, the Seer #12 should first try to counter #2. If someone wants to claim to be the Hunter against #9, they can vote for #9, thus confirming the claim.

However, Sakayanagi Arisu simply couldn't cast her vote to jump against number 9.

Because the werewolf number 9 only needs to kill the person who claims to be the same person at night. Although doing so will result in number 9 being eliminated the next day, the couple, Sakayanagi Arisu, will directly take number 4 with them in a suicide pact. Once the couple is eliminated, the third-party faction will basically lose all chance of winning.

Sakayanagi Arisu n't afford to gamble on this outcome.

Number 9's speech is still ongoing:

"Although I don't know if there's a witch on the field, I think it's better not to save player number 10. On the first day, she started randomly picking people based on their positions. Even if she survives, she'll just be a troublemaker."

"Everyone says I overreacted, but as a hunter, if someone targets me as a wolf, I have to fight back, otherwise, if you guys carry me out, who will I take with me?"

"So, if number 10 dies, he dies; it'll just fill a gap."

"Two wolves were eliminated from 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, and one wolf was eliminated from 7 and 8. We'll have to push out wolf 2 today, and the Seer can check one more tonight. The situation is quite clear; the good guys have a good chance of winning."

That's all I wanted to say. That's enough.

Based on the other person's speech, Sakayanagi Arisu had already determined that Number 9 was a werewolf, and judging from her words, she seemed to be the [wolf king] among the werewolves.

Because the [Wolf King] is the least afraid of a real [Hunter] jumping into her trap, since both of them shoot and take people away anyway, it's really hard to tell who the good guys are.

It must be said that Player 9 made a good choice, and it perfectly blocked Sakayanagi Arisu's blind spot.

In this round, player number 9 might actually infiltrate the good guys' camp dressed as the [Hunter].

[Player #11, please speak]

"If numbers 7 and 8 come out, we can ignore number 2 for now."

Finally getting her turn to speak, Horikita Suzune tried her best to keep her voice calm:

"I am Seer #12, and I am Jinshui. Number 10 is already dead, and Number 9 is the Hunter."

"Although I personally think positional analysis is unreliable, there are already four consecutive good guys here, so there should be wolves among the 7th and 8th."

"In terms of speaking ability, player number 7 is worse, so we can play 7 first."

"Ignore number 2. Even if he really is a werewolf, he's just a liability. We can keep him and vote him out tomorrow."

"If the prophet can't decide, let 2 and 7 go head-to-head; whoever gets the most votes wins."

"That's it, it's over."

Novice player Horikita Suzune didn't dare to make any more guesses. The situation on the field was already very clear. If number 9 really was the hunter, after tonight, the seer would report information through the sheriff's badge, and the wolf's location would basically be revealed.

At this point, all she had to do was obediently follow the crowd, Horikita Suzune thought to herself, her edges already worn down.
