Chapter 21: CH 21

The first room to be searched was Li Sinian’s, and Yang Song was the leader.

As soon as Li Sinian opened the room, Yang Song instantly rushed in. The sheets on Li Sinian’s bed was untidy, but it became even messier when Yang Song started to tear it off. Li Sinian wore no expression, standing aside with his arms crossed and letting them search to their heart’s content. The room was empty, there was nothing aside from the facial cleanser in the bathroom, the towels, and razors that showed signs of being in use.

Yang Song opened the sink of the toilet, and even reached in to check the drain.

Liu Xin’s eyes had been lingering on the Bogu* frame. He reached for a bottle of wine and tore open the plastic wrapper on the cork to check whether there were pinholes in the cork.

“What were these empty grids?” Liu Xin said while still looking at the Bogu frame.

Li Sinian folded his arms and explained simply, “Wine, I drank it.”

Fang Daichuan subconsciously wanted to speak but he glanced at Li Sinian and shut his mouth.

Everyone checked multiple times, but didn’t find anything, so they had to move to the next room.

They found nothing, but it was a given. There were not many naive people like Fang Daichuan who hid both antidote and poison on their body, and would take them out when they disagreed with others, yelling “You will be the death of me”.

Fang Daichuan’s face became uglier with each unsuccessful search. When they reached the last room, he already had a premonition and turned his head and glanced at Li Sinian. Li Sinian silently patted him on the shoulder, and walked past him into Niu Xinyan and her son’s room. Only now did Fang Daichuan realize how clever Li Sinian was to force him to hide the two vials in advance.

There was also nothing in Niu Xinyan’s room, empty and clean.

The crowd stood in a circle inside the room, discussing what to do.

“Let’s disperse.” Old lady Song shook her head. “I’m too tired to continue. You all can continue without me. I can’t stand it anymore, I have to go back and rest.”

Niu Xinyan was lying on the bed, holding her son, her face buried in his milky shoulders, looking tired.

Fang Daichuan also wanted to give up. He thought, with my strength, anyone who wants to kill me can only try. You abnormal guys can play as you wish. Daddy* does not want to play anymore.

Just as everyone was feeling depressed, Li Sinian suddenly said, “Resume.”

Everyone froze on the spot.

Li Sinian turned around and took the lead to walk downstairs. He turned his gaze in the direction of the people behind him, his eyes were cold, “Everyone come down to the first floor. Since everyone has the same idea, you must be mentally prepared. If you want to play the game then I will play with you. Let’s continue the game together on the first floor!” Towards the very beginning, he had been smiling. This time however, he dropped his smile and looked very distant.

Fang Daichuan glanced at everyone who wore different expressions and hesitated for half a second before becoming the first one that followed Li Sinian.

Everyone took their seats one after another in the voting order, but with Li Sinian sitting in the bottom seat, asserting his dominance.

“Now that we have reached this point, there’s no need to pretend. You can tell truthfully what you think,” Li Sinian said. “Yang Song has been suspicious of me. So let her speak first.”

Yang Song glanced at him. “I didn’t trust you from the beginning. You’ve been working with the boss*, so you must know some inside stories. It’s easy for you to play as a wolf until the end because you’re bound to have an advantage over all of us. However, the reason why I suspect you is because as soon as the game started, you dragged Fang Daichuan to your side and even guaranteed his identity. Normal people do not play like this.”

“When I asked Fang Daichuan to go out*, it was before I opened the box,” Li Sinian reminded her, “Even if I was a wolf, I wouldn’t know other players’ information at that moment.”

“I’d like to remind everyone not to forget one thing. This is indeed a werewolf game, but it’s not a simple board game. Everything is real,” Li Sinian said. “We are playing in the real world. So yes, even if it was a wolf card you got, before you open the box, it would be impossible to have any information within the rules of the game.”

Li Sinian didn’t deny that he knew some things, but just as he said, this was not a board game, it was a real killing game. Everyone’s top priority was to not be voted, and their second priority was to make sure they could survive until the end.

Fang Daichuan’s mind suddenly became clear at that moment.

He previously thought that if the situation became worse, he could just admit he was a witch and the possibility of being killed would decrease. However, now that he’d faced this feeling of dread, he finally realized the reason Li Sinian had been preventing him from showing his card and harming himself.

He had a bottle of antidote and a bottle of poison. If tonight they found out he was a witch, from now on, everyone would be cautious and distrustful of him. This was not a board game. No villager will trust you just because you were a witch. They would covet your antidote and fear your poison.

“One more thing.” Li Sinian glanced around at everyone present. “I hope the wolves will be able to hide their poison well. Again, this is a real killing game but the problem isn’t everyone’s identity. If you can get wolf poison, you can kill anyone, it’s that simple.”

Yang Song seemed to think of something and shuddered. She raised her head, “We found three bottles of poison in Zhao Chu’s body. Were those all he had? How many bottles does each werewolf have?”

“Four bottles,” Li Sinian confessed, “I glanced at it when the boss was arranging.”

Liu Xin supported his chin with both hands. “Oh? You’ve only seen the poison, but haven’t seen other things? For example, the instructions each ID card gets, I’m sure they will be different.”

Li Sinian spread his hands. “If I want to deceive you, I wouldn’t have to tell you this information at all. Why should I do that? Why should I draw attention to myself? Because as long as we don’t catch the wolf, then I’m in trouble. If even one wolf survives, we will still lose. If even after I say this, you still can’t believe me, this game is hopeless. Either you stand on the sidelines or you can just go along with your own ideas.”

As Du Chaosheng was playing with a pen in his hand, he touched his chin and said, “So Zhao Chu used a bottle of poison, hence we didn’t make a mistake. He really killed someone the first night.”

Yang Song shook his head. “It’s not necessarily true. Someone attacked Ding Zihui. Although the wolf poison was not injected, it must have been thrown away.”

“There’s another possibility,” Fang Daichuan heard himself say. At that moment he felt like he was split into two, one calmly talkings about his speculation, and the other who was getting goosebumps from the said speculation. His palms were sweating, and his own voice felt as if it were coming from far away, “Zhao Chu had four bottles of poison when he died, and someone stole one bottle in the confusion.”

“First thing first,” Yang Song hammered her temple with a pen, “Ding Zihui was attacked, there was a scratch in her arm but the perpetrator didn’t run away, so there must be a wolf on the second floor. At that time there was the old lady, Zhao Chu, the mother and son, and Liu Xin. Zhao Chu is already confirmed to be a wolf. Which means there may or may not be a wolf among the rest.”

Niu Xinyan glanced at Ding Zihui. “It is also possible that Ding Zihui herself is a wolf, directing and acting by herself.”

Yang Song wrote Ding Zihui’s name on the paper again. “Yes, it is a possibility.”

Ding Zihui smiled helplessly, not refuting.

Yang Song looked around the audience. “Originally, I doubted Li Sinian very much. But after he finished speaking, I don’t doubt him anymore. Regardless of who he was before he came and what his purpose was, at least in the game, he really wants to help us find the wolf. I am now inclined to believe that he is really on the villager side.”

Li Sinian snorted.

“I voted for Li Sinian in the morning. I admit that I made a wrong vote,” Yang Song said. “I hope you all can also tell us who you voted for and why.”

The rain started to hit the windows and the wind moved the curtains whose reflections danced on the glass like wraiths.

Old lady Song shrank her shoulders. “I think Zhao Chu was a wolf. I don’t understand the rules of the game played by you young people. I don’t know who is who. I only know who is a wolf. Zhao Chu was acting suspicious from the beginning. At that time, I forgot who it was that said that there’s a wolf on the second floor. This was the simplest logic, but he refuted it. The next day, he said that the wolf isn’t anyone on the second floor. He kept acting strange to win us over, it’s hard to say that he wasn’t suspicious.”

Fang Daichuan glanced at Li Sinian carefully, and asked with his eyes, “Was that the case?”

Li Sinian dropped his eyelids and raised them quickly. Only then did Fang Daichuan understand why so many people voted for Zhao Chu. It seems that not only does someone need to have a good IQ, but also to have a good memory. Fang Daichuan tried hard to remember everyone’s speech.

Niu Xinyan hesitated, but after a while she said, “I voted for Mrs. Song.”

Sure enough, Fang Daichuan applauded Li Sinian in his heart, he was right.

“I was very suspicious of her from the beginning since she refused to cooperate with everyone. Last night, I coaxed Nan Nan to sleep. I was worried that he would be hungry when he woke up in the middle of the night, so I thought of finding something for him in the kitchen because how can I let children eat compressed biscuits? Seeing that there was a refrigerator in the villa, I thought there would be something like milk, so I came down. Then I saw her.” She pointed to old lady Song. “I saw her come out and enter Zhao Chu’s room.”

Well that is embarrassing. Yang Song stared into the eyes of the old lady. The old lady just said that she suspected Zhao Chu from the beginning. Now she has been accused of entering someone’s room at night. Yang Song used the pen to draw a line under the old lady Song’s name.
