“It’s you?” Li Si Nian, draped in a thin jacket, stood by the door, a little surprised. He saw Yang Song standing outside the door, the girl had her hands behind her back, looking down at her toes, she only raised her head when she heard the door open. Li Sinian noticed that her face looked very bad, with thick dark circles under her eyes.

“What are you doing here?” Li Sinian opened the door, looked around the corridor, confirmed that there was no one else, and opened the door to her, “You come in first, it’s not safe outside now.”

Yang Song walked inside the room, the windows opened a little, a bit of fresh air mixed with rain pouring from outside. Still, the smell of the room’s owner lingered, making Yang Song a little embarrassed.

Li Sinian opened the window completely. When he was half asleep he didn’t feel it. But after awake he felt extremely thirsty, he wanted to use his tongue to catch the rainwater outside the window. While beckoning Yang Song to sit down, he looked for water to drink, but after looking around for a while he found nothing so he hurriedly took out the glass and pried open a bottle of wine, not caring about how he would lose water faster after drinking it* He just wants to quench the thirst.

“Why did you come here?” Li Sinian drank two glasses of foreign wine in one gulp, before he talked to Yang Song.

Yang Song was sitting on one side of the window sill, her white nightdress was soaked by the rain but she didn’t seems to noticed, she slowly smoothed the skirt folds between the waist and stomach – these tiny folds revealed the fact that she after she putting on the nightgown, she couldn’t sleep and sat by the bed for a long time.

She thought about it for a while. After hesitating for a long time, she touched the straps on her shoulders, raised her head and said to Li Sinian, “You…, don’t you have anything to ask me?”

Li Sinian shook his head and smiled: “Is it about how you wanted to take the antidote last night? I understand, it’s human nature. Anyway, that antidote has already been used, well, wise men don’t dwell on the past.”

Yang Song stared at him for a while, her eyes burning, as if she wanted to see if he was lying or not.

Li Sinian looked at her calmly: “Your role is an idiot, right? Then what are you afraid of? I don’t have any poison on me. If I want to harm you, I just have to vote you out so you can’t vote anymore.”

Idiot is a rather tasteless character card. It has no functions and does nothing at night. It is a very weak special role. Generally, when there are no powerful characters in the werewolf faction on the board, or when a third-party faction is present, in order to balance the strength of the villager and the werewolf faction, the strong special roles such as guard or hunter that can turn the table will be replaced with idiot. This character has only one function, which is self preservation. When they get voted, they will not leave the game, they will continue to participate in the game, but they will lose their voting right.

Therefore, if you want to kill an idiot, only werewolves can kill them at nighttime and nobody can vote them out.

“There are so many special roles and you don’t know which one is used. How do you know that I’m an idiot?” Yang Song did not let his guard down hearing his words.

Li Sinian held his forehead and smiled bitterly: “Considering that this is a real killing game, the Guard‘s skills are very difficult to operate, unless the Guard are given seven bottles of antidote, which is too counterproductive; even if Magician change the card, if the wolf poison is injected, no matter who you swapped with, you will still die; in real killing game, Little Girl are too easy to be discovered. The only special roles left that are possible are Elder and Idiot. For Elder, you can use a bottle of antidote to deal with poison, but if you are voted out during the day, you will still die. When I proposed to vote for each other during the day, you were the first to agree. In fact, in this situation, normal villagers would be afraid of being voted out of the game by wolves, but you are not afraid, obviously you know that you will not die. So I guess your identity card should be one that has the upper hand in voting.”

(T/N : Lengthy explanation below)

“Wonderful, what an insight,” Yang Song nodded approvingly. “You said that you came to this island by accident. But you know too much about the werewolf killing game.”

Li Sinian poured a glass of wine for her and another for himself. He put the wine glass on the bedside table, he was half-lying on the bed headboard, wrapped in a thin blanket: “I came to this island, not entirely by accident. I guess you came here because of the acquisition of this island more than ten years ago, right? My father was a researcher in Mrs Song’s institute and was the first to discover the island, and of course a giant diamond mine underneath it, over ten years ago. He wrote up a preliminary exploration report and the island was sold twice in succession before the Exploration Institute had carried out any detailed exploration. After this, he continued exploring this island and then simply disappeared, and the island was deserted for many years.

I don’t know what happened on this island, I recently heard that the island was bought, I have suspicion that the person who bought the island would know something and that’s why I secretly lurked around, I was fully involved in the process of them organising this werewolf killing game and since I suspect that this game is related to the events back then, of course I have to find out first, what werewolf killing game is.”

“What happened on this island?” Yang Song sneered and glanced at him with a frown, “This island has taken countless lives and will continue to do so. This island has been sold several times. The most recent transaction was that the boss bought this island from me.”

Li Sinian accidentally dropped the glass in his hand. He opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief, “You?”

Yang Song nodded, picked up his glass and took a sip of  liquid courage* to tell the story that has been forgotten for a long time: “I guessed right. You really know something. You haven’t told me everything, have you? It doesn’t matter. I also know something. I think it should be part of the truth you’re looking for. How about we exchange information with each other?” Yang Song seemed confident and even with the dark complexion on her face she seemed much more energetic.

(T/N : Alcohol is also called liquid courage so here the wine is the liquid courage, just a note)

Li Sinian was noncommittal: “You tell me first, I’ll listen to it to see if it is worth my story.”

Yang Song raised the corner of her lips, but she was not smiling, however she was generous, she didn’t bargain and she didn’t doubt whether Li Sinian would fulfil his promise afterward, so she just looked away and started to tell a story.

“More than ten years ago, before I could remember much, my father had lost some money in business and was desperate to find an opportunity to make his comeback. The story goes that his investment advisor* found a way from a friend of a friend, saying that this island was being explored by a team of geologists who were frequently visiting the island, each time with very bulky instruments, as if they were here to explore for precious metals.

The full exploration report is not yet available, my dad’s investment advisor has only got a preliminary report saying that there are huge diamond deposits buried in the shallow seabed below the island, not far from the surface. I read his diary and he wrote that even if the exploration report was not true, it did not matter if there were no diamond mines, this was an island in the open sea not far from the mainland and therefore, it could still be developed into a high-end property and resort.

He put all his hopes for a comeback on this island and despite the objections of several other shareholders, he removed the last funds and loans from the company’s accounts and used it to buy this island. “

In Yang Song’s narrative, a part that has been missing for a long time, together with the part that Li Sinian knew, slowly pieced together into a story that has spanned more than ten years. The story is huge and complex, involving countless people, forcibly changing the fate of those involved and after more than ten years, under the vicious pull of desire and hatred, it entangled many people together in an attempt to give the survivors a sinister grand finale.

——Maybe too much time has passed and the plot has replaced desire and become fate itself.

(T/N : Alright so apparently the Chinese Werewolf Game is quite different from the Western version. So see pic below, this is Magician, basically Magician will have a chance to act first before the wolf and they can switch characters cards at night round but not themself. So say, Sinian the Seer checks A but the Magician already switches A with B then Sinian will only get B’s role instead of A. And, if the wolf takes out A then it will be B that dies on day round. Noticed that this is when it is a board game so as Sinian said, if someone that Magician swap gets injected with wolf venom then they will still die anyway this is not a board game but a real killing game. Little girl and Guard are roles that exist on Western side too so I won’t explain it now on Elder, no pic sorry I can’t find any. Elder have 2 live, so even if a wolf kill the Elder, they will survive the night and the next day round it will be a no-vote situation. Elder can be killed only by vote, Hunter’s skill and Witch’s poison. Alright so now there is another updated image since well, there is no character card to prove but we can trust both Sinian and Yang Song and also I am itching to have everyone identified already)
