CHAPTER 308: CHAPTER 308: SUDDEN CHANGE

Duan Yiren’s words caused the atmosphere in the hall to become somewhat tense.

"I have a bottle of antidote in my hand that can save one person. Last night, I acted together with the Prophet. During that time, his behavior was strange, and he even tried to ambush me later, so I directly poisoned him to death." Duan Yiren glanced around as he approached Baiyu, "We entered together, so you don’t need to doubt his identity; he definitely isn’t a Werewolf."

"You mean today’s vote will be among the other three?" The Demon Race woman asked in the common language.

The faces of the other three became grim.

Whoever gets chosen in the vote will die immediately.

This feeling of life and death being held in someone else’s hands is unsettling.

"Witch, Prophet, Hunter, Fool."

"Four Citizen Cards."

"Four Werewolf Cards."

"This is the standard twelve-person setup in Werewolf Game, the Prophet is dead, and they only provided the inspection from the first night; let’s assume all of this is true for now."

"The Witch is still present on the field. The Hunter’s skill activates when they die, allowing them to shoot during the day, but since this hasn’t happened during the day, it proves the Hunter is still here."

Among the three.

The slim and short male in position one stood up to analyze: "But five people died overnight, no matter how I calculate, I can’t deduce the situation from last night."

"Because this isn’t a traditional Werewolf Game, there’s no rule preventing people from dying accidentally."

At this moment.

Baiyu took over: "Last night, two Werewolves died. As for the reason for their deaths, they tried to hunt me down, but were killed by the shadow of a little girl."

Their deaths were gruesome.

Their skin ulcerated, growing hairy claws, and eventually, their bodies turned into a pool of thick liquid."

The crowd’s faces changed.

"When you mention it like that, I also remember, there is indeed a shadow of a little girl in the Ancient Castle, and not just in one place."

The second-position man spoke after some contemplation.

Aside from Baiyu, Duan Yiren, and the Demon Race woman, there are still two men and one woman left in the field, corresponding to identity cards one, two, and four.

Positions one and two are men.

"Additionally, you’ve been exploring for two nights, surely you have some findings, right?"

Baiyu interrupted the crowd’s pondering.

The slim man at position one said: "Last night, I acted together with that Demon Race person, exploring the bedrooms in the Ancient Castle, searched at least twenty or thirty rooms, but found nothing."

The individuals at positions two and four both acted solo.

They didn’t gather together.

That means.

At most, there are still two Werewolves on the field, among the Demon Race woman and positions one, two, and four, a simple selection of two out of four.

If there’s only one.

It might actually be this non-human race.

The largest problem now is the uncertainty of the game’s setup. The Ancient Castle’s owner did not clarify the situation in the rules.

Is there a Prophet? How many God Cards are there? These are all unknowns.

"For this round, I believe the Witch should decide the vote, as she holds the highest identity here, even though she poisoned the player suspected to be the Prophet..."

The man at position two frowned.

"Regarding the vote, surely those who contribute nothing to the team should be voted out? I found two keys."

At this moment.

The woman at position four pulled out two keys from behind her, one red and one yellow, "You obtain keys by defeating armored figures holding them. Collect seven keys to leave this Ancient Castle."

The group’s eyes lit up.

If you haven’t handled the keys, it’s hard to know they are the tools for opening doors.

Perhaps even Duan Yiren doesn’t understand the use of keys, unable to get much useful information from facial expressions alone.

However.

With two more keys appearing, the situation reversed once again.

"I have four keys in my hand."

Baiyu gripped four differently colored keys, "Tonight we can enter the night, find the last key, and we’re done."

So for the daytime vote.

Voting out a Werewolf or a Citizen doesn’t matter much; the best scenario is no loss in numbers."

This way, by not voting incorrectly, the good side doesn’t lose strength."

So my suggestion is, you can vote for me today, but all keys need to be handed to me for safekeeping."

My Identity Card is ’Fool’, after being voted, I can verify my identity."

Thus handing the keys to me for safekeeping shouldn’t be objected to, right?"

The crowd’s expressions changed.

"In that case, let’s begin the vote."

Duan Yiren initiated the vote directly.

Unsurprisingly, all votes were cast on him.

Baiyu’s Identity Card was revealed.

All six keys were placed in Baiyu’s hands.

No one died during the day.

Quickly.

Beyond the end of voting, night fell again.

Except this time, the whispered sounds did not emerge, but the surrounding darkness lasted longer than usual."

Baiyu, after a moment of stupor, opened his eyes, discovering he was in a gigantic Gladiatorial Arena.

Like the Gladiatorial Arena of Ancient Rome.

Looking up.

The night sky, filled with stars, was infused with the black mist of the Spirit Realm.

In the silent arena.

Six people appeared simultaneously.

Everyone’s Identity Cards floated in front of them, with no intention of hiding.

Duan Yiren’s identity was the Witch.

The Demon Race woman’s identity was the Hunter.

Positions one and two were Werewolves, position four was a Citizen.

This change was unexpected.

Moreover, at the center of the arena, the final purple key floated in the air."

The group exchanged glances.

Whoosh.

In mid-air, a dark figure, built like flowing darkness, appeared.

The owner of the Ancient Castle!

The scene fell into deathly silence, no one spoke, awaiting his intention.

The entity quietly observed the six, releasing a hoarse voice: "Apologies, everyone, there was an unexpected issue with this game’s round."

Due to some previous misjudgment of the situation."

The game has become extremely unbalanced, the Werewolf team made numerous wrong moves, making it nearly impossible for them to win."

Originally, this arena was meant for the final victor."

However.

Because of certain special reasons, compounded with sensing some old friends’ aura, now I must hasten to determine the winner."

The shadow slithered, as his hand lifted, a black light barrier completely sealed the arena’s perimeter.

The group looked to the shadow."

The entity raised a hand, pointed distantly: "Kill him, and you win the game. Otherwise, it’s game over. Only one side can leave this arena."

His finger indicated the spot where Baiyu stood."

The group’s pupils shook violently."

Five against one?

What did he do?

He obtained four keys, leading to the demise of two Werewolves, despite the shadow’s nonchalant words, it’s definitely not that simple; there must be deeper secrets."

Altering the game’s rules..."

The Ancient Castle owner was never known for such actions."

The entity highly valued rules and contracts; breaking his own game rules has to have an unavoidable cause."

But questions remained."

At this moment,

Every cold, fierce gaze, like a pack of hungry wolves, locked onto Baiyu, eager to tear a piece of flesh from him."

Kill him, survive!

More than that.

You win the game reward as well!
