CHAPTER 288: CHAPTER 224: THE WEREWOLF KILLING GAME MOOD_2
Then he explained his thoughts.
Rosen believed that within the Capital City instance, there were ordinary civilians living, including children. They might have been transported into the concept of the Werewolf Game that children play.
"So, what you’re saying is, we’re currently in a Werewolf Game somewhere in the Capital City, playing with a group of civilians?" After listening to Rosen’s explanation, Xiao Feng said.
"This is highly possible, and for us, if we get killed in the Werewolf Game, we die forever. Whereas if other players get killed, they don’t die for real. It’s as if we’ve become NPCs in this game."
When Rosen and others unexpectedly found themselves in a game setting within the Capital City instance, the group of players already playing Werewolf were equally incredulous about how suddenly there were over thirty new players.
Some even took off their game helmets to check the game instructions and found it odd, as the game shouldn’t be able to accommodate so many players.
"Whatever, the more people, the more exciting. It won’t be easy for either the bad or good camps to end the game quickly, and we can enjoy it for a longer time."
Many felt lucky since more players meant more challenging and thrilling gameplay.
"It’s nightfall."
When the Prophet uttered these words, the sky actually dimmed until it was so dark that one couldn’t see their hand in front of them.
Rosen immediately felt a bone-chilling cold striking from all directions.
The last scene his eyes captured was of civilians running back to their homes, shutting doors, windows, and lights, trembling in their blankets.
In the chaos, Rosen saw one civilian’s body swell, burst open, and instantly transform into a ferocious werewolf.
Seeing a werewolf appear not far away with a red name tag, Rosen immediately realized it was a terrifying red-name monster!
At this moment, Xiao Feng’s voice came from the darkness beside him: "I think I just saw a werewolf, his name was in red. What should we do? This is as dangerous as the red-name monster in the Capital City instance. Should we cast the Nether Dragon Heaven-locking Array immediately?"
Rosen said, "No, it’s pointless to use that now. After all, this is just a game setting inside the Capital City instance. Consuming our formation here would be unwise, and the darkness here is far more dreadful than the fog of our formation. Once darkness falls, it’s truly impossible to see anything. Even if we cast the formation, we can’t coordinate, so it would be a waste."
Hearing this from Rosen, Xiao Feng could only nod nervously and then said, "But I have more bad news. I saw the werewolf heading in our direction after it got dark."
"What, such crucial information, why only say it now?!"
Rosen was furious, wanting to smack Xiao Feng on the head, realizing with such important information revealed now, the werewolf might have already surrounded them.
It’s known that werewolves can locate them by scent, while they can’t locate the werewolf by scent.
The darkness is the perfect hunting ground for a werewolf.
Bam!
A gunshot suddenly rang out!
Apparently, the Hunter fired a shot.
But it seemed this shot was another miss.
Because after the Hunter fired, the werewolf nearby started howling happily beside Rosen: "Hunter, you country bumpkin, trying to kill me, you’re too green!"
Hearing the werewolf’s taunt, the Hunter shouted in the dark: "Werewolf, just wait, I’ll kill you sooner or later!"
The werewolf sneered: "Hmph, once I’ve killed enough and evolved into the Wolf Extinction, then you’ll need two shots to kill me!"
Initially, the werewolf was just a fierce man, still human. After evolving into a werewolf, only a Hunter’s gunshot can kill it. If it evolves again into the Wolf Extinction, it takes two shots to kill.
But the Hunter can only fire one shot per night.
(Don’t ask why only one shot can be fired per night, it’s the game setting.)
And since the Hunter has already fired tonight, he can’t shoot again. So even if they pinpoint the werewolf’s position, it’s useless.
Knowing the Hunter can’t do anything to him, the werewolf grew more arrogant and shouted: "Hunter, I’m going to bite this civilian to death right in front of you, and you can’t save him!"
The Hunter, hearing this, was also anxious and immediately shouted: "Knight, go save him, hurry!"
But the Knight, hiding at home, trembled: "I can’t hear, I can’t hear, I can’t hear..."
"Hahaha, Hunter, stop joking. You expect that self-preserving Knight to sacrifice himself to protect civilians?"
At this point, the Hunter was speechless, knowing he couldn’t count on the Knight. Even if everyone else perishes, only the Knight can survive, continuing a standoff with the werewolf, waiting to see who starves first.
Chances are the Knight will starve first because the werewolf can still eat people, while the Knight won’t.
While the Hunter was pondering these things, a sleepwalking Witch, at some point, quietly approached him with a poison bottle.
Grabbing the Hunter, she forced the bottle’s mouth into his, pouring the black liquid forcefully down his throat.
"Mmm... I’m the Hunter, Witch... what are you doing?!"
The Hunter struggled, but soon convulsed and fell.
The sleepwalking Witch smiled satisfied, then mumbled dreamily: "Hehe, Werewolf, I don’t believe the poison won’t kill you."
Rosen couldn’t see what happened with the Hunter; he just didn’t hear them taunting anymore.
Beside him, Xiao Feng said, "Oh no, a big mosquito bit me!"
"What, a big mosquito?" Rosen was surprised, knowing there shouldn’t be any mosquitos in the Werewolf Game.
"It’s fine, I’ve already slapped it dead." Xiao Feng said calmly.
Rosen understood, that with Xiao Feng’s Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, killing a mosquito should be quite easy.
A palm turning into eighteen, a mosquito can’t duplicate, how could it dodge?
Just then, a grand voice of the Prophet descended from the sky.
"It’s daybreak!"
Suddenly, dawn broke through the surrounding sky.
Soon after, everything became bright and clear.
Everyone gathered at the square, amidst a hubbub, discussing whether the Witch poisoned someone again or if the Hunter mistakenly killed a good person, or which civilian the werewolf killed.
Eventually, all eyes turned to the Prophet.
The Prophet frowned.
"Last night, the Hunter died."
"What? How could the Hunter die? Was he killed by the werewolf?"
"No." The Prophet revealed a look of disbelief.
Because since the game began, he hadn’t seen such a bizarre situation; the game’s balance was altered.
"The Werewolf also died."
Upon this announcement, the crowd was shocked.
"Both the Hunter and the Werewolf died? What’s going on!"
"Is it possible that..." A smart one stood up and suggested, "Maybe the Hunter killed the Werewolf, and then the Witch poisoned the Hunter?"
With this statement, people understood and agreed.
But the Prophet frowned and said, "No, another civilian died, shot by the Hunter, so the Hunter couldn’t have killed the Werewolf."
"Moreover, the civilian died before the Hunter, seemingly poisoned by the Witch."
"As for the Werewolf, he died after the Hunter."
Upon these words, everyone was mired in confusion once more.
"So, if it wasn’t the Hunter who killed the Werewolf, then who could it be?"
They knew only the Hunter and the Witch among them had the means to kill.
But with three dead, there must be another mysterious killer.
At this point, a civilian suddenly approached Xiao Feng.
"Brother, that Grey Wolf tattoo looks good on you, where did you get it?"
Xiao Feng was surprised, looking at his arm, finding a Grey Wolf tattoo there.
"Huh, where did this tattoo come from? I only remember slapping a mosquito here last night, shouldn’t it be a mosquito mark?"
"What, brother you’re amazing, slapping a mosquito and creating a Grey Wolf tattoo, impressive!"
Xiao Feng smiled and said, "It’s just a coincidence, a coincidence."
"Brother, don’t be modest. With that Grey Wolf tattoo, even the werewolf might give you face and won’t eat you," the civilian said, wanting to become friends with Xiao Feng.
But Xiao Feng said, "Didn’t the Witch just say the werewolf is dead, so it should be safe now, right?"
"Hehe, you’re too naive. The werewolf evolved from a fierce man, meaning when one werewolf dies, another will appear."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng pondered and said, "Is that so..."
