CHAPTER 78: CHAPTER 78: DID QIN YUN AND PEI YAN START FIGHTING??

"Is there anyone who doesn’t know how to play?" he asked again.

"I’ve played a few rounds, so I guess I know how," Yang Leqi thought for a moment and said.

"I played it last time on a movie set, so I should be alright," Chen Yao said with a smile.

"I know a little, but it’s been so long, I might have forgotten some." Qin Hao laughed awkwardly.

"No worries, let’s have a trial run first. Once you’ve played a game, you’ll get the hang of it. Since there aren’t many of us, let’s play the basic six-player version," Wang Sirui thought it over and said, "We’ll have 2 civilians, 2 werewolves, 1 witch, and 1 prophet."

After saying that, he briefly explained the rules corresponding to each role.

When Qin Yun heard the rules for the werewolf, she raised her eyebrows, and a sly glint flashed in her eyes.

"Let’s do this," Yang Leqi rolled up her sleeves, looking ready for action.

"Director, we’re short-handed, why don’t you be the judge for us?" Wang Sirui immediately called out to the director who was watching.

"Alright," the director nodded, "Let’s write down the roles on cards, and whatever role you draw, that’s your role."

The director quickly found a few uniform, non-transparent cards and had them draw after writing down the roles.

"Everyone got their roles?" The director saw them nod and continued, "Night falls, please close your eyes."

Director: "Werewolves, please open your eyes."

Qin Yun and Wang Sirui opened their eyes, exchanged a glance, and both broke into meaningful smiles.

Director: "Werewolves, who will you attack tonight?"

Qin Yun pointed at Pei Yan without hesitation, making a throat-cutting gesture.

Ha, ha! Can’t kill you in real life, Pei Yan, don’t even think about surviving in the game!

Wang Sirui gave a confused expression, mouthing silently, "Why?"

"With him around, we can’t win!!" Qin Yun mouthed back silently.

And so, Pei Yan, on his very first move, before he could even feel the game, was killed by the werewolves.

Director: "Werewolves, please close your eyes. Witch, please open your eyes. The victim last night was him."

The director pointed at Pei Yan, asking, "You have one antidote, do you want to save him?"

Pei Yan opened his eyes, realized he had been ’killed,’ glanced thoughtfully in Qin Yun’s direction, and nodded without hesitation.

The director asked, "You have one poison, do you want to use it?"

Pei Yan thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"Witch, please close your eyes. Prophet, please open your eyes. Who do you want to check tonight?"

Yang Leqi opened her eyes and directly pointed at Wang Sirui.

After the director gave the answer for the werewolf, Yang Leqi smiled; she knew Wang Sirui’s role wouldn’t be good!

Director: "Prophet, please close your eyes."

Director: "It’s morning now, let’s go in order, Wang Sirui."

"First of all, I’m the prophet, I checked Brother Chen Yao last night, and he’s a good person. Then, since it’s our first round to bring Mr. Pei and Sister Yun into the game, and the antidote is used up, I have to reveal my identity in advance, to let the good guys win the first round, that’s it," Wang Sirui said seriously.

"Wang Sirui, I’m the real prophet, I checked you last night, and you’re a werewolf. Are you trying to mislead everyone to think you’re a good guy to cover your true identity? Couldn’t you pretend to be someone else? Lucky I checked you last night, otherwise you’d have fooled us!" Yang Leqi immediately exposed his lie.

"Everyone knows you and I don’t get along, that’s why you’re framing me. So, you must be the real werewolf, right? Originally I didn’t know who to suspect, now I suspect Yang Leqi," Wang Sirui said unhurriedly.

Pei Yan kept watching Qin Yun, trying to read something from her expression.

Qin Yun knew Pei Yan was watching her, and calmly let him look.

"It’s only just begun, and you two are already pointing fingers? One of you must be the real prophet, and the other a fake werewolf pretending to be the prophet. Since it’s the start, I’m not sure which of you is the real prophet. I’ll skip for now," she said, looking at the two of them.

"Let me just say, I’m a good person. Wang Sirui said he checked me, so I think he might be the prophet, but who knows, maybe he’s just a werewolf randomly pointing, trying to hide behind me. There’s definitely a werewolf among them, so I won’t take a stance yet," Chen Yao said, hesitating between the two.

"I’m just a regular civilian, no particular role. Since Brother Chen Yao said he’s a good guy and Wang Sirui checked him as a good guy, I think maybe Leqi is the werewolf," Qin Hao said.

"I vote Qin Yun is the werewolf because I’m the witch, and on the first night I was killed. I used the antidote to save myself, and the person who most wanted to kill me is Qin Yun, so I vote for her," Pei Yan continued to stare at Qin Yun. Although she didn’t show any flaws, his gut told him it was her.

"Sister Yun? Mr. Pei, are you suspecting the wrong person? Wang Sirui is way more suspicious than Sister Yun," Yang Leqi asked in disbelief.

"Yeah, Sister Yun didn’t even accuse anyone; what’s your reason for saying she’s a werewolf?" Wang Sirui chimed in.

They needed to protect at least one werewolf.

"Pei Yan isn’t someone who speaks recklessly. Maybe there’s something crucial we haven’t noticed?" Chen Yao also began to scrutinize Qin Yun.

"Mr. Pei, you shouldn’t drag me down just because of our personal relationship. Maybe you’re the real werewolf, trying to frame me! If I really were a werewolf, the first person I’d kill would be you, wouldn’t that just be giving you evidence to accuse me as a werewolf?" Qin Yun said, pretending to be annoyed yet a bit aggrieved.

Hearing this, even Chen Yao looked at Pei Yan with doubt, thinking Qin Yun might have a point.

And with Pei Yan instinctively accusing Qin Yun of being the werewolf, Qin Yun wasn’t stupid. She’d surely know that if she killed him first, he would definitely know Qin Yun was the werewolf.

"Let’s do this, let’s vote the simplest way. Between Wang Sirui and Leqi, one of them must be a werewolf. Raise your left hand to vote for Sirui, raise your right hand to vote for Leqi," Chen Yao thought it over and decided to leave it at that for now.

In the end, Qin Yun, Chen Yao, Qin Hao, and Wang Sirui all voted for Yang Leqi, only Pei Yan and Yang Leqi voted for Wang Sirui.

"I’m really the prophet, why won’t you believe me! Wang Sirui is the werewolf! He’s pretending to be the prophet to hide his werewolf identity!" Yang Leqi stomped her foot in frustration.

"Teacher Yang, you’re already dead, you can’t keep talking," the director reminded.

"I’m wrongfully accused!! The real werewolf is Wang Sirui! Get him out in the next round!" Yang Leqi kept saying as she walked away.

The director said, "Alright, time for the second night. Night falls, please close your eyes. Werewolves, please open your eyes. Werewolves, please choose your victim."
