CHAPTER 299: CHAPTER 299: THE GAME BEGINS

Prophet.

One of the Divine People in the Werewolf game, a divine card in the good people faction.

Its function is to inspect a player’s identity every night, accurately knowing whether their identity is good or bad, making the Prophet the leader in the good people faction.

The man’s intention for stepping forward now is clear, he wants to gain the power of speech to unify the scattered individuals and complete the task together.

However.

A very real problem has arisen.

Is the man really a Prophet?

Among these twelve identities, is there actually a Prophet?

These things are unknown.

Because this game is not the official Werewolf game.

The identity templates of the twelve people don’t have clear rules, it’s unknown how many werewolves are there, and how many good people.

It’s highly possible that there’s no Prophet as well.

Therefore, the man’s words can’t make everyone believe, especially now when everyone really has no clue.

"Since you claim your identity as the Prophet, what do you plan to do next? As far as I know, we can’t vote today, it’s the first day."

Another man spoke sinisterly.

The man in the coat said, "Our game’s purpose is not to find the werewolf, but to find a way to leave the Ancient Castle, so everyone’s goal is very simple.

Do everything to find a way to leave the Ancient Castle.

If anyone obstructs the action in this process, they are the werewolf.

Every day during the daytime, I will reveal the identity of the player I checked at night, which can reduce the difficulty of our game.

The public vote during the day.

Judging based on everyone’s contribution to the clues at that time.

If I find out a werewolf, then everyone will unanimously vote out the werewolf. If I discover a good person, then vote among the remaining candidates."

This statement has no major problems.

Just.

A woman with a red birthmark on her face sneered, "Aren’t you being too optimistic? Right now, we don’t even know what we’re supposed to find to leave the Ancient Castle.

Even if we have to find clues to leave, there should be some hint or major direction, right?

If it’s just blindly groping around, once the werewolf acts during the night, whoever they touch is doomed."

The woman’s words made everyone ponder.

Indeed.

They have no clue on how to leave the castle, everyone is completely like headless flies, this chaotic situation is really unfavorable for the good people faction.

"Here’s the exit."

At this moment, Baiyu stood in front of the hall door, pointing at the door lock.

The others were slightly taken aback and looked towards Baiyu’s direction.

On the wooden door.

There was a large lock wrapped with solid iron chains.

The lock’s core was missing a large piece, resembling a puzzle.

To leave here, you must gather the missing parts of the lock core and complete the puzzle.

"If this is the main door..."

Boom!

A brawny man erupted with magnificent Blood Qi, punching the door.

But the wooden door remained unmoved, the overflowing Blood Qi seemed to vanish into thin air, not causing any impact.

He scratched his head, awkwardly, "It looks like brute force can’t destroy it."

Damn.

You could even figure out from your toes that it’s not possible, and if brute force could be used, you’d need to be stronger than the owner of this Ancient Castle!

Baiyu thought silently.

Though the Blood Qi the brawny man displayed earlier, at least was that of a Tier Seven Martial Artist, not a weak hand.

These people aren’t from East Prosperity.

Aside from three non-human individuals, the other seven are human race.

But from their accent, appearance, and other features, it’s clear they are not from the East Prosperity Imperial.

They seem much like members of the Free Federation.

"Time is running short, we need to hurry. This is the starting point, surely holds other useful information."

At this point, the man in the coat, the supposed Prophet, suggested.

No one disagreed.

The werewolf is currently hiding among good people, without some incidents, it’s hard to make them expose themselves.

As everyone prepared to search the entire hall.

The surrounding candles suddenly went out.

A chilling, eerie voice resounded in everyone’s ears: "Night has fallen."

In an instant.

It was pitch black around.

Baiyu and Duan Yiren couldn’t see anything, only felt a dizzying sensation in their heads.

When the light returned.

Baiyu and Duan Yiren found themselves in a stone corridor, the walls on either side lined with oil lamps that illuminated the corridor clearly.

"We should still be inside the Ancient Castle, right?"

Duan Yiren distanced himself first, glaring at Baiyu: "My identity is ’Witch’, the ability of the Identity Card allows me to resurrect or poison someone at night, but only once."

"Uh, my identity is Fool."

Baiyu shrugged helplessly.

Duan Yiren distanced himself, explaining to Baiyu that his identity was harmless, definitely not a werewolf.

However.

There’s a chain of suspicion involved here.

Many things.

It’s not just saying ’not’ makes it so, others need to believe it too.

Without solid proof, this suspicion could loop endlessly, with neither side believing each other, complicating the task.

That’s one of the challenging aspects of this Werewolf game.

Still.

Baiyu had long seen through this tedious trap set by the castle’s owner.

"Let’s go, familiarize ourselves with the terrain here first, find out our location.

As for identity abilities...

My ability is that when I’m voted out, I can reveal my Identity Card to everyone, preventing exile."

Baiyu said.

The two weren’t too interested in each other’s Identity Cards, after briefly discussing the topic, they began exploring their environment.

"There’s a map on the desk beside the hall, I memorized it earlier when everyone was talking."

Baiyu moved forward.

Duan Yiren followed behind, "Are you sure you’ll remember the way?"

"More or less."

Soon enough, they exited the long corridor, facing a locked room.

At the room’s entrance.

There was a note written in red ink.

The text wasn’t in human common language but in a strange script that one could understand it.

"Recently, Ah Ai’s condition is quite bad, I’ve thought of many ways, and curing her illness would justify the wasted time.

However.

Lately her condition has worsened, I can only keep her locked in the room to prevent her from hurting others."

After reading the short note, Duan Yiren looked around, "What’s inside could be the Ah Ai mentioned on the paper, should we go in?"

Baiyu checked the lock, "Let’s try to find a key first."

As soon as he spoke.

Suddenly.

From the end of the corridor on the left, a shadow rushed towards the two.
