Editor: Jue

No one was in the mood for breakfast today and Niu Xinyan herself was also feeling anxious and not in the mood for making breakfast.

Everyone just drank a cup of coffee except Fang Daichuan who had a large appetite. He could starve to death if he didn’t eat breakfast. After thinking, he opened a pack of compressed biscuits, holding the biscuits with both hands, and started eating with coffee.

The clock sounded exactly at eight o’clock and everyone went to the machine to scan their fingerprints.

“No one died last night,” the machine said dryly. “The order of speeches is random. Please speak counterclockwise, starting from Niu Xinyan.”

Niu Xinyan shook a bit, not expecting that she would be the first.

She took a sip of coffee. “My thoughts are still the same as yesterday. I think it’s Mrs. Song as I told my logic last night.”

The old lady Song coldly snorted. “You have been attacking me since last night. If I were a wolf, I would have hidden myself from the beginning. I have a clear conscience, so I dare to appear here. Who is the seer? You must have checked me last night. Come out and tell us your result.”

It’s a pity, Fang Daichuan thought, the seer has already determined that you are a wolf so he didn’t check you. No one spoke, and the seer Li Sinian didn’t reveal himself. This was only the third day, and there were still four days ahead, which was far from the best time to show his card.

Niu Xinyan wasn’t angry when she was interrupted, she whispered in a low voice, “If the seer has any clues, I hope they’ll share it. To be honest, I really have no idea, I know nothing. I am done, next.”

The next one was the little boy.

Startled, Fang Daichuan took a huge bite of the biscuit. He raised his eyes and found everyone had swallowed hard subconsciously. It was obvious that they were all afraid of the child’s evil nature, even Li Sinian took a swig of coffee with a straight face.

The child lifted his head slightly, not looking at anyone. Instead, he just stared at the table in front of him quietly, with his long eyelashes hanging. He then slightly opened his mouth.

“Wait!” Yang Song raised his hand to stop him. “You—you can only talk, you are not allowed to sing!”

Although it was very inappropriate, Fang Daichuan really wanted to laugh.

The child seemed to be frightened by her outburst. He turned his head and looked at her mother as if asking for help. Niu Xinyan patted him on the back and encouraged him. “Just say what you want to say, Xiquan. Don’t be afraid, mom is here.”

Fang Daichuan felt the sense of distortion again. Yesterday, he watched the mother-child’s abnormal interaction. Before this, he had always felt their relationship was strange and that strange feeling reached its peak when he saw the kiss last night. However, this morning, their behaviors were so natural, they even played the role of a loving mother and a cowardly child perfectly. Speaking of acting, he could feel that Niu Xinyan was acting, but the child’s innocence and fear were so natural that even he himself couldn’t sense anything wrong.

Liu Xiquan moved his lips and whispered, “Like mother said, I also know nothing.”

Fang Daichuan turned his head to look at Li Sinian calmly and the two pairs of eyes met each other. Li Sinian kept rubbing his chin, apparently also confused by the child. Yesterday, he voted for his mother, but today he followed what his mother said? 

Fang Daichuan cast a suspicious look at Niu Xinyan and her son. As expected, the true horror of the children lay in the uncertainty of their behavior. You’d never know what they might do and they didn’t need a reason to do anything. However, he still felt that there was a mystery and wonder about the child, which made him feel uncomfortable.

The next one was Ding Zihui. The girl glanced at Fang Daichuan and Li Sinian. “I think this is the right time for the seer to come out. I just calculated it, if we play the standard game of 4, 4, 4, even if we don’t consider the third-party camp, with four werewolves, and six daytimes, we really can’t afford to make mistakes anymore. If we vote for three wrong people, we will lose.”

(T/N: So apparently the standard Werewolf game in China is like Ding Zihui said, 4 4 4 aka 4 wolf, 4 special roles and 4 villagers. So here, picture below to show you, I screenshot this from a video on how to play Werewolf game so yes, it is on Mandarin just see the pic don’t mind the word lol)



Fang Daichuan glanced at Li Sinian and made a decision. He threw a half-pack of biscuits on the table and sighed, “So no one dares to show their card? Alright then.”

Everyone seemed to have guessed what he was going to say, and all ten pairs of eyes looked at him with a burning gaze. He raised his right eyebrow, ignoring Li Sinian’s hand under the table,  and put his hands on the table before looking around the audience and said categorically, “I dare! Let me tell you my role.”

Li Sinian couldn’t help but sigh.

“The first night I checked Li Sinian, he is in the villager faction, and on the second night, I checked Du Chaosheng who is also a good person. I didn’t tell you before because, what could I do? I can’t help with the vote and I didn’t want to show my card too early. First, I didn’t detect a wolf. Second, I think it’s meaningless and dangerous to show myself so early. But what Ding Zihui said makes sense. We only have 6 voting opportunities left and we mustn’t waste it. I hope everyone will exclude Li Sinian and Du Chaosheng that I have checked. For Ding Zihui, I also recognize her on the villager’s side. I, myself, am a seer. Zhao Chu is a wolf and there are three wolves left among the remaining people. Everyone, be careful with your votes.” Fang Daichuan talks straight to the point, not beating around the bush.

Du Chaosheng interjected, “Since you acknowledge me as the villager faction, if no other seer comes out, then for the time being, I will recognize you as a seer. However, I don’t understand why you are suddenly exposing your roles now. I think it’s not good for the village faction.”

Fang Daichuan raised his eyebrows and smiled. “Because I am not afraid and I can fight. If there is anyone who has the ability to kill me at night, well let’s see if they can do it. This is not a board game. I will fight back whoever dares to get close to me with a needle.”

What he said sounded so reasonable that there was no rebuttal. With his strength, nobody would be able to kill him in one shot. A few people in the room internally asked themselves if they had a strength for that.

“Since I am already talking about this, let’s continue,” Fang Daichuan sighed. Anyway, he already had a target painted on his back, and he didn’t care about adding one more. “If I really die at night, you must pay attention when you find my corpse. I will leave a message for everyone. I won’t go down without a fight. There must be traces of fighting on my body. If I die clean, please pay more attention to someone whom I will not guard against.”

“Why don’t you check me?!” The old lady Song shouted. “Don’t cast me out, I beg you to keep me inside the game and test me! I’m really not a wolf!”

Fang Daichuan ignored her and said directly, “I’m done, next.”

Li Sinian sighed and even wanted to slap Fang Daichuan to death. He stared at Fang Daichuan speechlessly for a long while; he didn’t want others to shield him. However, from the perspective of maximizing benefit, he couldn’t push two people to the front at the same time.

Why go that far for me? Li Sinian secretly gritted his back teeth. “I will recognize Fang Daichuan as a seer. I will also recognize the people Fang Daichuan had checked as a villager faction. For the rest, I will still use last night’s logic. I think Yang Song’s identity isn’t a problem, she has been actively looking for wolves.”

“Mrs. Song…” Li Sinian hesitated. “She insisted the seer test her, so now I am a little hesitant. But Mr. Liu Xin, you have been talking in circles last night, and you actually didn’t say anything meaningful. I think if you can’t give us something, I’ll consider voting you out first.”

The old lady Song pointed to Liu Xin and said, “Vote him first! I’m really in the villager faction. If you don’t believe me, test it out tonight! I am telling the truth! Don’t vote for me this round!”

“You are so anxious to protect yourself, I think you are hiding something.” Ding Zihui frowned. “You had never suspected Liu Xin before but just because someone doubted Liu Xin, you were quick to follow. There is a feeling that what you said before is all a lie so you can stay in the game. I doubt you now.”

Although Niu Xinyan didn’t interrupt, Fang Daichuan noticed her nodding gently.

Li Sinian quietly listened to them talking before continuing, “Du Wei and Chen Hui, there is no problem after rehearsing your speech last night, but your logic is too explicit. I want to listen to your statement in more detail. Moreover, is it alright if you tell me where you two went last night?” He raised his right eyebrow, his light amber eyes reflecting the light of a crystal chandelier, like a cat.

Du Wei was stunned for a moment, “Did you see it?”

Li Sinian silently raised his eyebrows.

Du Wei and Chen Hui glanced at each other and asked decisively, “Li Sinian, why don’t you prove your identity first?”

Li Sinian was shocked. “Why should I?”

“Because you screwed up,” Du Wei looked at Li Sinian quietly. “The manual you got isn’t for villagers. Otherwise, you can’t not know why we left the house and went outside.”
