The decorative style on the second floor is different from that on the first floor.

The hall was empty, there was nothing, not even the walls were painted.

Dark red pipes were exposed everywhere on the walls and on the floor, and bright green light flowed in the pipes, just like blood circulating.

There are doors in the southeast, northwest and northwest of the hall, leading to four rooms respectively.

A complete wolf skin hangs on the door to the east, with the wolf's head opening its bloody mouth.

There is a shotgun hanging on the west door, with the muzzle pointed at the wolf's head.

There are two bottles of reagents hanging on the south door, one is purple and the other is green.

There is a horizontal eye on the north door, which is constantly shedding tears.

The moment Liu Zheng entered the lobby on the second floor, all the doors moved.

The wolf's head growled lowly at him, the shotgun was pointed between his eyebrows, the reagent bottle emitted boiling smoke, and its eyes shed tears of blood at him.

"Thank you everyone, your enthusiasm brought tears to my eyes."

he said movedly.

"What are you doing?"

Sea Woman asked strangely.

"Responding to their welcome."

Liu Zheng waved to them.

"They're not welcoming you. They're expecting relief."

Sea Woman shook his head.

"Relief?"

"That's right. If the identity you draw corresponds to the door, if you lose, you will exchange souls with the door until the next unlucky guy appears."

Sea Woman said.

Good guy, you are looking for a scapegoat, right?

"What if we win?"

"If you win, you will get a door-to-door prize."

Sea Woman replied.

"It didn't even find a substitute, so you still gave me a prize?"

"A door is a door, and a soul is a soul. The more you win, the better it is for the door."

Sea Woman said.

"That's it. Come, drink coffee."

Liu Zheng took out a glass of Bad-Luck Coffee and handed it to her.

"How do you know I like lattes?"

Sea Woman picked up the coffee and took a sip.

"Actually, I bought a dozen kinds of coffee. If you don't like this one, I'll bring out another cup."

Liu Zheng said frankly.

"You want to pick me up?"

Sea Woman is equally straightforward.

"That's right."

"But I don't think I've seen you before."

She looked at Liu Zheng for a few times.

"But I've seen you."

"Oh."

Sea Woman is noncommittal.

"So, which door do you want to choose?"

She returned to the topic.

"For the sake of this cup of coffee, do you have any suggestions?"

Liu Zheng asked shamelessly.

"I can only tell you that that door really wanted to win today."

Sea Woman pointed at the reagent door and said.

"Okay, then I'll go through that door."

he said decisively.

Based on Liu Zheng's understanding of Werewolf, the identity corresponding to that door should be a witch.

The witch's skill is to initially possess a bottle of poison and a bottle of antidote.

Poison can kill a person, and antidote can save a Werewolf person. They can only be used once.

It is a relatively powerful identity, but it is also easy to take the blame.

For example, after the first night, he was stabbed by Werewolf and could not save himself, so he chose a person to blindly poison himself to prove his identity. As a result, the prophet was taken away, causing the good guys camp to collapse.

Liu Zheng is quite accurate in finding wolves, so the winning rate of getting the identity of a witch is not low.

Although the front desk may not be able to help him get the status of a witch, it doesn't matter.

He didn't come here for the prize anyway.

"Put on a mask."

Walking to the witch's door, Sea Woman took out a fox mask.

The mask has no openings, and Liu Zheng's eyesight goes dark after putting it on.

He tried to take off the mask, but found that it was as if the mask was welded shut and couldn't be taken off at all.

Sea Woman took his hand and led him into the door.

The room was very quiet, not even breathing could be heard.

But through the mask, Liu Zheng also felt many pairs of eyes looking towards him.

"Don't talk."

As if knowing that he was about to go crazy again, Sea Woman squeezed his palm and said.

Liu Zheng nodded and did not ask stupid questions like "Then how can you speak?"

Sea Woman led him to the table and pressed him on the chair.

Liu Zheng leaned back, and there was actually a lumbar support, which was quite considerate.

"A few new players came today, so I'll tell you the rules again."

"Old players can also strengthen their memory. After all, the punishment for breaking the rules is very severe."

The voice of Sea Woman appeared in the distance.

"Article 1, it is forbidden to speak in a disrespectful manner. For example, if I were not a prophet, I would eat this table."

Given the piss-prone nature of this world, the punishment would probably be to actually make the speaker eat the table.

"Article 2: It is prohibited to insult others. As for the extent to which it is considered insulting, the host reserves the right to interpret."

"No. Three Bamboo, cheating is prohibited. I know that some players have extraordinary abilities and can bypass the constraints of the mask. So you can try, but if you are caught by me, your life will be worse than death."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Zheng immediately regained his vision.

He looked around. The walls and ceiling were covered with tangled vines, and the floor was paved with arms-thick wood.

All the players sit around a large round table. In the middle of the round table is a huge crucible, with colorful bubbles or a wisp of black smoke popping up from time to time.

Liu Zheng looked at the other players again. Everyone's appearance had been changed by the mask. Everything was exactly the same except for their clothes. They couldn't even tell the difference between men and women.

As for the expression, it is impossible to see it.

This is a good thing for him.

A very important skill in Werewolf is facial recognition, which is to judge the identity of other players or the authenticity of their words by observing their expressions, eyes, and movements.

Don't think this is metaphysics. The more familiar people you play with, the higher the success rate of this trick.

Even if it is a stranger game, if you are skilled enough, the success rate of facial recognition is not low.

Liu Zheng is a bit suspicious. The reason why he has a low success rate in pretending to be Werewolf is because he has too many traps.

While he was sizing up other players, those players were also sizing up him.

The gazes were mostly testing, but there was also a lot of hostility.

After all, no one knows whether they will get the identity of a witch.

Liu Zheng discovered that other players' masks have a number on their forehead.

He touched his mask and saw the number 8 on it.

"This game is a 12-player female hunter guarding the border game."

"The good guys camp: prophet + witch + hunter + guard + four civilians."

"Werewolf camp: white Wolf King + three ordinary Werewolf."

"Speech time: 150 seconds."

"A witch cannot save herself except on the first night."

"The Sheriff has the right to return votes. When voting, it will be counted as 1.5 votes and he will have 180 seconds to speak."

"When running for Sheriff, two Werewolfs need to blow themselves up in order to swallow the police badge."

It's not the most standard pre-Hunter White configuration, but the difference is not big, and it's considered a basic board.

The witch can save herself on the first night, and the guard can guard people at night. The good guys camp has a great advantage.

But with the white Wolf King and Werewolf camp who can self-destruct and take away people, the camp will not be completely disadvantaged.

After all, the probability of finding a witch in the first night was not high.

"Player No. 8, your identity is a witch."

What a witch!

This coffee is really not free of charge.

However, if he loses this game, does he spend money to buy his own life?

Of course, Liu Zheng is just a joke.

As long as he doesn't get Werewolf, he is still very confident.

"It's dark, please close your eyes."

Sea Woman's voice sounded, and his eyes went dark again.

"Don't get eaten."
