Lin Jie's tone was mocking. "Oh, great Seer, think back. What did God say last night?"
"Seer, open your eyes. Please signal the number of the player you wish to check."
Li Xin finally realized the fatal flaw in her words.
In her account, she had not signaled a number when checking someone. She had merely pointed at Chen Li.
This was a major contradiction.
Cold sweat streamed down her body, her hands trembled, and she slumped limply in her seat.
Lin Jie continued:
"For the Seer to check someone, they need to signal a specific number."
"Yet until just now, you didn't even know Chen Li's player number."
"So tell me, how exactly did you check him?"
"There can only be one reasonable explanation-"
Suspicious gazes kept falling on Li Xin.
Li Xin felt her whole body trembling, all her strength draining away.
Lin Jie delivered his final verdict without mercy:
"You aren't the Seer at all!"
Li Xin collapsed into her seat in despair, saying nothing.
Even Driver Chen, who had trusted her the most, finally looked at her with suspicion.
"Don't tell me you really are a liar?"
But Li Xin kept struggling to the bitter end:
"I remember now!"
"I did signal four last night! I just suddenly got nervous and forgot!"
But such a flimsy excuse could not convince anyone.
The suspicion in their eyes only grew.
Lin Jie said coldly, "Less than ten minutes have passed since 'last night.' How could you have forgotten even the number you checked?"
"Besides, I just helped jog your memory."
"Do you need me to jog it again?"
"I had you count out Driver Chen's number again."
"If you really did signal four last night,"
"then you must have gone through the process of counting out Driver Chen's number last night, too."
"And today, I recreated that scene for you."
"Even that wasn't enough to make you remember?"
"So..."
"There's only one explanation. You never paid attention to Driver Chen's number at any point!"
Lin Jie's words pinpointed the crux of the matter.
By now, everyone was essentially convinced that Li Xin was a Werewolf.
But Li Xin still refused to give up. After a moment of silence, she stubbornly raised her head again.
"So what if that's true? I really didn't know his number!"
"But you can check people without numbers! I just pointed at him, and God gave me the result!"
"I'm still the Seer!"
Lin Jie seemed to have anticipated this struggle from Li Xin.
"That's even more impossible. Because it breaks the rules!"
"'At night, I will not respond to any form of communication with God.'"
"Those were God's exact words."
He turned to God and asked:
"God, may I ask how you would respond if the Seer pointed at someone while using their ability?"
Li Xin also looked toward God for help.
God looked at Li Xin with pity and dealt her a fatal blow:
"The rules are absolute."
"At night, I will not acknowledge any body language."
"Including any attempt by the Seer to point at someone."
"At night, I will only recognize the numbers signaled to me by players with abilities."
"I will not respond to any other form of communication, including all body language."
Lin Jie looked calmly at Li Xin.
"Well? What else do you have to say?"
Li Xin sprawled over the table in despair, clutching her hair.
She bit her nails, constantly muttering, "I'm the Seer. I am the Seer..."
But no one believed her anymore.
By now, everyone understood.
Li Xin was a Werewolf making a bold Seer claim.
Zheng Yi also summed things up:
"It looks like the situation is clear now."
"Li Xin is a Werewolf."
He turned to Lin Jie. "As reluctant as I am, I have to admit that Lin Jie, who exposed Li Xin as a Werewolf, must be a good player."
"If there are no objections, Li Xin should be the one executed today."
"I don't think we need to waste any more time. We can start voting."
Sitting upright, Zheng Yi was about to signal a number to God.
"Wait."
Lin Jie interrupted him.
"There's still one unresolved question."
From the beginning, Lin Jie had been wondering: if Li Xin was a fake Seer, where was the real one?
So, while exposing Li Xin's lies, Lin Jie had been watching everyone's expressions.
Those who had no idea what was going on and simply followed the crowd could not be the real Seer.
Only one person had remained silent throughout the entire exchange.
His expression had never changed, either.
He had worn a strange smile the whole time.
As though he were watching an entertaining show.
After exposing the fake Seer, Li Xin, Lin Jie finally turned to that person.
"You have something else you'd like to say, don't you?"
"Zhu Lun?"
The chubby boy, Zhu Lun, had not said a word the entire time, looking as though he were enjoying the show. Only when Lin Jie called his name did he look up at him.
But his smile did not fade in the slightest.
"That was truly brilliant. Just what I'd expect from the famous LJ."
"You saw right through the Werewolf's lies and exposed her to everyone without mercy."
"You certainly deserve to be called the good team's MVP."
"And you seem to have realized long ago that I'm the real Seer, but you never said it outright."
"Though I appreciate you helping me conceal my identity, I don't intend to keep hiding."
"I am indeed the real Seer."
Everyone reacted to those words with varying degrees of surprise.
"You're the real Seer?"
Chen Li had the strongest reaction. "Damn it! If you're the Seer, why didn't you say so sooner?"
"You let that woman fool me for so long!"
The chubby boy continued speaking at the same slow pace. "Don't get worked up."
"If I'd claimed that early, wouldn't I have missed this wonderful show between Lin Jie and Li Xin?"
As he spoke, the chubby boy kept smiling at Lin Jie.
But Lin Jie felt that his gaze was unfriendly, even a little hostile.
He immediately grew wary.
The chubby boy continued:
"There's no doubt that Li Xin is a Werewolf."
"Her task was to make a bold Seer claim and win the good players' trust."
"That would force the real Seer out, and might even give her a chance to have the real Seer executed during the day."
"Unfortunately, her Seer claim was truly clumsy."
"The holes in her words naturally couldn't escape our Lin Jie's discerning eye."
"So Lin Jie exposed her without hesitation, laying her identity bare for everyone."
"And by catching a Werewolf, Lin Jie naturally became a confirmed good player."
"No problems there, right?"
Everyone was baffled by the chubby boy's speech. Zheng Yi also asked:
"Zhu Lun, what exactly are you trying to say?"
Zhu Lun finally dropped his smile, his expression suddenly turning serious.
"There's a huge problem!"
"All of this was nothing more than an elaborate scam designed by Li Xin and Lin Jie together!"
"Li Xin played the fool, becoming a Werewolf laid bare for everyone to see."
"And Lin Jie deliberately exposed Li Xin, positioning himself against her and bolstering his image as a good player!"
"Every good player has been fooled by Lin Jie!"
"Even I nearly fell for Lin Jie's trick!"
"What a shame, Lin Jie. For all your careful calculations, you still fell one move short..."
Chen Li finally could not resist asking:
"Hey! Chubby! What exactly are you trying to say?"
The chubby boy kept a stern face and said sharply:
"Last night, I checked Lin Jie's role."
"His role is-"
"Werewolf!"
