Well, this is awkward. Fang Daichuan didn’t expect that things would go south this fast. He had just declared himself a seer, and now, Li Sinian was having trouble over there. As expected, fate didn’t favor Lucky-E, and didn’t give him any face.

Du Wei had a smile at the corner of his mouth, looking at Li Sinian sarcastically.

“I don’t need to prove anything,” Li Sinian raised his eyebrows. “My identity is guaranteed by the seer. As long as I’m not a wolf, why do you care what role I have?”

Du Wei looked around. “Frankly I don’t care, but isn’t it possible that both you and Fang Daichuan are wolves? Show us your role if you really are not a wolf.”

Li Sinian spread his hands indifferently. “Right now, it is a fact that Fang Daichuan is a seer and he has guaranteed my identity. If you question my identity, you must first overthrow Fang Daichuan’s seer role. But look at the current situation here first. Except for Fang Daichuan, is there anyone else who claims to be the seer? Why do you think Fang Daichuan came forward? It is because two people said that the seer needs to show themself, so there is nothing suspicious about him showing his card. You said I was bluffing, OK*, I will tell you, I also have a special role. You and your girlfriend insist that you both are villagers, but is it even the truth? Your behavior seems a little weird.”

 (T/N: The OK is in English. I like how the author keeps Sinian’s American lineage consistent with how often he is using English here)

“I’m doing this to get the wolf out,” Du Wei rolled his eyes. “Big Brother, please calm down. If I were a wolf, would I mess with special roles?”

“The important thing to do on Werewolf Killing is to find out the identity of a villager faction firstly.” Yang Song glanced at Du Wei. “Forget those special roles. We don’t even have any information on them. Now we should just focus on picking the wolf out and vote for them.”

Li Sinian frowned and said nothing, obviously thinking something.

Fang Daichuan knocked on the table using his knuckles. “Don’t make a ruckus. Trust me, there’s no need to doubt Li Sinian’s identity. Du Wei, if you are really in the villager faction, don’t doubt the one guaranteed by the seer. And, don’t force people with special roles to show their cards or make trouble, do you understand? Look at the situation for yourself. Has anyone else admitted they are the seer? If you say that’s because this is a killing game, the seer will not dare to show up for fear of death. Then, at least the seer will give some hints and call on everyone to doubt me. Just now, Ding Zihui also said we only have two chances to make a wrong vote. Since no one else has any doubts, then I am a seer.”

Du Wei looked around, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.

“Is there anyone else who wants to admit their special roles? You don’t need to tell what identity you have, just declare that you have a special role.” Fang Daichuan asked.

Yang Song looked around, hesitated, and raised his hand. “Me.”

Li Sinian nodded and raised the pen in his hand, pointing at Yang Song, Fang Daichuan, and himself. “Look, according to what we said at the beginning, 4 4 4 plus a third-party game, with three people with special roles here, how can there be two wolves? Then tell me where people with special roles are?”

Du Chaosheng also nodded. “Li Sinian is right. There is no doubt about the timing of Fang Daichuan’s reveal, and no one else has come forward until this moment. I believe what he said about him checked on Li Sinian on the first night. If I was the seer, I would also do the same. Li Sinian was indeed the person who was most suspicious at that time. So following that logic, both Li Sinian and Fang Daichuan should have special roles. Yang Song also raised her hand, and I believe her. I am a villager, let me prove it. I will let you know what the manuals are.”

Du Chaosheng said as he took a sip of coffee from his cup and recalled the instructions he had received, “Our villager’s manual has an extra part. Because this is a real killing game, the individual survival rates of ordinary villagers, special roles, and werewolves are different. The extra part said that, since the villagers had no information, the chance of survival was very small. So, they would be supplemented with item cards. It is said that item cards were scattered in the forest outside.”

“That is why you two went to the forest in front of the house?” Li Sinian frowned.

Du Wei nodded. “Did you see us?”

Chen Hui lifted her trouser legs and took off her white canvas shoes. Her shoe was stained with some dry yellow mud, and there were moss fragments and traces of crushed grass blades in the mud.

Li Sinian looked back at Fang Daichuan, who frowned. “Has no one else been out?” 

Fang Daichuan asked suspiciously, “Who went to the beach last night?”

No one said anything, everyone looked at each other.

The thunder and lightning outside the window were now a little bit weaker, but the sound of rain became louder and louder, the sky was gloomy, and the air was paved with a damp fishy smell.

Again, it’s always like this, stuck in a circle, with nothing significant happening.

“I don’t think it was a werewolf who went out last night!” Fang Daichuan said sternly, “Everyone is here. For what purpose is the wolf going to the beach?! Who on earth is playing off-court logic? What is your purpose for coming to this island? I don’t care if you want to die, but can’t you drag a passerby like me? I fucking don’t want to die!”

The feeling of powerlessness he had experienced yesterday once again deeply grasped his heart. He covered his face with one hand. Facing this complicated situation, he really didn’t know what to say.

“Forget it.” He turned his pen between his index finger and middle finger and waved his hand. “Just vote whoever you want to vote for, I have already said what I can say and I have done what I should do. Everyone is so uncooperative. If you end up losing in the end, you can’t blame the seer.”

After he finished speaking, he threw the pen, crossed his legs, planning to not say a word until the voting began.

Surprisingly, Liu Xin stirred trouble next. He frowned and said, “Fang Daichuan, are you sure you are the seer, and you won’t take it back?”

Fang Daichuan raised his eyebrows mockingly. “What? Are you going to show your card?”

“Yes I am,” Liu Xin sighed and firmly said, “I checked Li Sinian on the first night, he is a wolf. I also checked Ding Zihui on the second night; she is also a wolf. Also, I am the real seer.”

Ding Zihui opened her eyes wide, pointing her right index finger to her face. “Me? I’m a wolf? Saying that while you are a seer means you are so unqualified!”

“So you took out all the remaining wolf camps in one go?” Li Sinian raised his lips mockingly. “Zhao Chu had been already confirmed as a wolf and is out of the game. With me, Ding Zihui and Fang Daichuan as the last three wolves, you win.”

Liu Xin nodded. “Although I myself feel that my luck is a little bit too good, the truth is the machine won’t lie. The three of you are wolves.”

Yang Song sneered, “Your loopholes are too obvious. You checked Li Sinian on the first night, so why did you don’t check Mrs. Song or Boss Du on the second night, instead of Ding Zihui that no one suspects?”

Liu Xin couldn’t say anything to refute, he awkwardly pushed his glasses. “I naturally have my own reason.”

“Liu Xin is a wolf!” Ding Zihui strongly said, “I know my own role. He just wants to kill me. He must be a wolf! Let’s vote him out of the game first!”

“First of all, let’s vote for Mrs. Song,” Li Sinian raised his eyes and sneered. “We have two people who have declared themself as a seer against each other. In order to prevent the real seer from being cast out, we will leave that for tomorrow’s votes. ——Fang Daichuan will test Liu Xin tonight.”

Old lady Song stood up, about to walk outside the room. “I said again and again to test me but you never did. Now, you are so eager to vote for me! I won’t play with you anymore!” She wasn’t young, but she moved fast. She had already pushed the chair and walked away.

“Bang——” there came a sound.

Fang Daichuan closed his eyes helplessly.

“Song Xinran deserted and was exempted from voting today.” The machine flatly said.

After taking a long breath, Fang Daichuan violently pushed the paper, pencil, and coffee cups in front of him, sweeping the things off the table before getting up and walked towards the door.

He passed by the corpse of Mrs. Song with half of her head missing, paused for a while, then closed his eyes and stepped past the corpse, pushing the villa door.

Didn’t know when, but the rain outside had stopped.

The air pressure was very low, the humid air made the whole lung caked as if there was something blocked inside the chest, couldn’t cough out nor can’t be swallowed. Fang Daichuan walked straight to the reef behind the house, sat down on the wet reef, and lit a cigarette.

“You should smoke less.” A girl’s voice came from behind. He turned around and saw Ding Zihui standing on the reef, and the sea breeze lifted the girl’s long hair. She tucked her hair and smiled at him.

Fang Daichuan wasn’t in the mood, but after so many years of pretending to be a gentleman, even though he had always been a gangster, it became the conditioned reflex, making him completely unable to get angry with girls. So, he tilted his mouth and nodded as a greeting.

Ding Zihui carefully sat beside him, and the two sat on the reef side by side, looking at the sea below their feet.

“When I was a kid, I really liked the sea.” Ding Zihui glanced up at Fang Daichuan, then lowered her head and said, “Something happened to my family at that time and I was sent to my grandma’s house. Grandma’s house was by the sea. When I was in a bad mood, I went to the beach to pick up shells and watch the sea. Whenever I look at the sea, I feel that my problem is small compared to the vast ocean.”

Fang Daichuan was stunned. He took a deep breath of smoke, then turned to look at Ding Zihui, as if he was surprised she would say such a thing.

Ding Zihui met his gaze and smiled.

“What happened to your family…?” Fang Daichuan put out his cigarette butt on the rock and turned to look at her.

Ding Zihui lowered her head and pursed his lips. “When I was nine years old, my mother committed suicide.”

“I… I’m sorry.” Fang Daichuan noticed he was a little abrupt and quickly apologized.

Ding Zihui smiled and shook his head. “It happened so many years ago, it no longer matters now. My mother grew up by the seaside. After her death, I listened to her will and sprinkled her ashes into the sea. When I was unhappy, I would come to the sea. I feel like my mother will always protect me from the sea.”

She turned her head and smiled at him. On the misty seashore, the girl’s face was flushed and her smile was vivid.
