After a night of mental struggle, the players finally adapted to their current roles and were able to properly immerse themselves in the game.
The first night was a peaceful one—no one was killed, the werewolves did not make a move.
The game didn’t provide them with breakfast, and even the lavish food from the lobby the previous night had disappeared.
The players woke up with growling stomachs, only to find nothing to eat, gritting their teeth in frustration.
There was clean drinking water in the room, available at any time, but they couldn’t possibly fill their stomachs with just water, could they?
“Ugh! What kind of crappy game is this? Are they messing with us on purpose?”
Bang! Someone slammed their door shut, venting their anxiety and unease.
An Suisui pushed open her door and quietly poked her head out. The outside had already returned to silence. Most people had gone back to their rooms, with only a few hesitating about whether to do something.
She glanced around casually and immediately spotted Jian Shi, who was leaning against the doorframe, watching the commotion.
Jian Shi was strikingly good-looking and tall. Among a group of people in pajamas, he stood out in his formal attire.
Seeing that no one else had noticed her, An Suisui waved at Jian Shi.
Hmm?
Jian Shi paused, the corners of his brows lifting slightly. After a moment, he walked into An Suisui’s room.
An Suisui wasn’t the type to invite just anyone in. She had already guessed Jian Shi’s identity last night and only dared to let him in after confirming he was on her side.
“I know your role,” An Suisui got straight to the point, not beating around the bush. “You’re the Hunter, right?”
Hmm—
Jian Shi’s tall figure was curled up on the sofa, legs crossed, one hand propping up his chin. His long, narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly as he silently sized up the girl across from him.
At first, he hadn’t taken An Suisui seriously. Just as she had described herself, she looked soft and harmless. The first time she appeared in front of everyone, she was hugging a bunny plushie, her bright eyes looking like she could cry at any moment.
He hadn’t expected her to be the first to enter game mode.
Thinking back to An Suisui’s actions before entering her room last night, Jian Shi let out a soft chuckle.
He’d been wrong—she was actually a very shrewd girl.
“How did you know?” he asked slowly.
An Suisui didn’t hide anything. This place was full of strangeness, and she needed allies to help her finish the game quickly.
“I’m the Seer. I checked your identity last night.”
The sooner she said this, the better, because later on, the roles of the special characters could easily be impersonated, making it much harder to prove her own identity.
“Have you played this kind of game before?”
Jian Shi didn’t give anything away, his tone still calm and unhurried, making it hard to guess what he was thinking.
An Suisui had already admitted to being the Seer, so there was nothing else worth hiding.
“I have played Werewolf before, but this game has changed a lot of things, so you can’t rely entirely on past experience.”
Jian Shi listened quietly without commenting, so An Suisui shared her rough deductions with this person she didn’t fully trust.
“In a normal game, someone always dies the first night. The werewolves’ usual trick is to fake an attack on themselves to trick the Witch into using her antidote.”
It was an old trick, but a useful one.
Because on the first night, everyone has very little information, and the Witch can’t be sure if the person killed is a good guy or a werewolf faking it to waste the antidote.
Although the risk is high, the chance of success is even higher, and the payoff is substantial.
The person saved by the Witch often gains her trust, and in future discussions, the Witch will be more inclined to believe this person’s conclusions.
“But right now, the situation is unclear. We don’t know what ‘dead’ even means in this game, and the werewolves wouldn’t easily target themselves.”
On the first night, the werewolves themselves were still confused, so they wouldn’t attack other players either.
Tonight, though, things would be different.
As An Suisui scribbled on a blank sheet of paper, Jian Shi suddenly asked, “Where did you get the paper?”
An Suisui was momentarily stunned, then replied, “There’s blank paper under the sofa cushion, and pencils in the tea canister.”
She’d found them in those nooks and crannies—should she say, that’s just like a little girl?
Jian Shi lowered his gaze, not sure how much he believed her. “Go on.”
An Suisui had quickly recruited her first ally. After sending Jian Shi off, she pulled a silvery card from her pocket.
She’d found more than just blank paper.
Of all the players, only An Suisui and Jian Shi had stored up food for the second day in advance. The others waited with empty stomachs until noon, but still no food appeared.
Knock, knock, knock—
There was a knock at the door. Outside stood the female player, Wen Yue.
Wen Yue looked nervously at An Suisui inside, biting her lip and softly asking, “Um, can I… can I have a little bit of food?”
After saying this, Wen Yue’s cheeks flushed red, as if she felt embarrassed.
Afraid of being refused, Wen Yue lowered her head, fidgeting with her fingers, not daring to meet An Suisui’s eyes.
But she was really hungry. If she couldn’t get food from An Suisui, she’d have to go knock on Jian Shi’s door.
No matter what, An Suisui seemed much easier to talk to than Jian Shi.
An Suisui looked at her for a moment. “Wait here.”
She’d brought quite a lot of things yesterday—more than she could eat alone, so sharing some wasn’t a big deal.
“Here you go.”
Wen Yue gave a shy smile. “Thank you. I don’t know when we’ll get to eat again.”
“Don’t worry,” An Suisui reassured her. “There’ll be new food at dinner.”
Wen Yue’s eyes widened in surprise. “How do you know?”
An Suisui replied, “It’s written on the wall.”
The game rules explained that every evening at dinner, players had to gather at the table to discuss and vote.
But the players were clearly resistant to the game. How could they get everyone to gather together?
Of course—by only bringing out food after everyone had been hungry all day.
Wen Yue relaxed visibly at this, relieved that they wouldn’t be left hungry all the time.
At dinnertime, the aroma from the table was so strong it could be smelled even with the doors closed.
The players, starving all day, rushed out to check and were immediately drawn to the food on the table.
An Suisui also opened her door and walked to the table.
Unlike yesterday, today each chair at the table had a player’s name on it.
Did they really have to sit in their assigned seats? Maybe not, but no one was willing to test the game’s limits.
Everyone took their seats one after another. Even after a day of hunger, the players still acted very restrained in this unsettling environment.
[Ding-dong—]
[It’s deduction time]
[Everyone, please get ready to speak up and find the werewolf hidden among you]
