Under the heavy rain, Fang Daichuan stood on the hillside in front of the house, surrounded by darkness. He could only use the flash of lightning from the horizon to view the terrain under his feet.

Fang Daichuan stumbled. There was a bamboo forest halfway up the mountain. Don’t know which son of gun dug a few bamboo shoots but Fang Daichuan, who didn’t check his surroundings, ended up with one of his legs in the bamboo shoot pit, wetting half his trousers.

Where did Li Sinian go?

Fang Daichuan looked around, he was surrounded by eerily tree shadows. He wiped the rain off his face. His feet suddenly slipped, he quickly reached out to a tree trunk beside him for support.

At that very moment, a flash of lightning broke out in the distant night sky. Through the heavy rain and fog, Fang Daichuan saw a pair of eyes looking at him in mid-air.

“Ah!” Fang Daichuan screamed, closed his eyes, and his body in automatic mode, he punched down the person in front of his eyes.

The owner of those eyes didn’t fight back. Because of Fang Daichuan’s strength, they slammed on the trunk behind them, the body fell down like a sackcloth, and fell on the ground with a loud noise.

Fang Daichuan was so scared that he ended up sitting in the puddle, his lower body covered in mud. He closed his eyes and retreated, while frantically kicking his legs. Anyway, he was wearing Dr. Martens cowhide boots, and he wasn’t afraid of the other side poking him with a needle.

For a while, there was still no movement from the other party. Fang Daichuan hid behind another tree, quietly peeking out with half of his head out. He bent over, assumed the position where it would be easy for him to move, covering his thumping heart with one hand, clenching his fist with the other, lowering the center of gravity of his body, and turning around the hiding tree.

The dark figure was still laying head-down in the puddle, motionless.

“Hey!” Fang Daichuan called out, thinking that you shouldn’t be down by my punch, right? That will make me a criminal. He got out behind the tree, carefully touched the man’s waist with the tip of his boot, and then watched the man’s reaction vigilantly.

No response.

Something is wrong. Under the dim moonlight, Fang Daichuan could see that the other party’s head was completely submerged in the puddle, motionless. It’s not like I punched that hard, thought Fang Daichuan. Frowning, he said, “Wake up, buddy, are you holding your breath here? If you want to swim, just go to the sea. That water is dirty.”

The other party still had no response.

Fang Daichuan’s heart grew colder and colder under the night rain, and an ominous premonition was surfacing in his heart. He thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and squatted down, directly overturning the opponent’s body with his hands.

Du Chaosheng’s muddy face was exposed, his face was bloodless, his eyes were wide open, and the corners of his mouth had black and red blood stains. He looked up at the sky between the crevices of the woods.

He died without having managed to close his eyes.

Fang Daichuan’s mind was shattered into pieces, there was a buzzing in his ear. He couldn’t recover for a long time and could only look around dazed. All he could see was a thick broad-leaved trees* and a heavy rain curtain. Du Chaosheng was lying on the muddy ground. A lot of blood that came out of his mouth and nose had already started coagulating.

Fang Daichuan was frozen for a while, he took a few deep breaths, his lungs filled with petrichor, which calmed him somewhat. He reached out to touch Du Chaosheng’s carotid artery and confirmed his death. If this was the first day he came here, Fang Daichuan wouldn’t dare to touch a corpse in the dark and cold night. After three days, he had made some progress.

He dragged Du Chaosheng’s body all the way down the mountainside. The dead man’s head constantly collided with the roots of tree trunks, knocking and thumping, making people shiver. He didn’t have enough strength to care about the dignity of the dead, his right hand trembled convulsively, he had to stop several times to catch his breath. Atlas, he held his hand on the trunk of the tree, leaned back, the cold rain falling on his face.

He suddenly wanted to vomit. He can’t even breathe.

Things had completely gone south. Whether they can get a villager’s manual or not, these desperate lunatics, for their own agenda, had obviously decided to go out and wander. I only have 1 bottle of antidote. Fang Daichuan smiled bitterly, who can I save if you all go out courting death?!

Dragging Du Chaosheng to the open space behind the villa where the huge glass floor-to-ceiling windows of the villa revealed some lights, Fang Daichuan took a breath before taking off Du Chaosheng’s shirt.

Du Chaosheng was obviously a man who wasn’t willing to be defeated by age. His muscles were strong and beautiful and you could easily tell he got it from the gym; he certainly didn’t look his age. Fang Daichuan wasn’t in the mood to appreciate the view, he carefully searched for the cause of death.

There was a needle mark the size of a pinhole in Du Chaosheng’s right elbow. The needle didn’t seem to be inserted cleanly and there was a long scratch mark near it.

It didn’t make  any sense. Fang Daichuan held Du Chaosheng’s right arm and couldn’t figure it out. How could Du Chaosheng, someone who has seen the world, show his elbow to others in the middle of the night when he knows that he is in a dangerous situation and you can’t trust anyone?

He immediately thought of the most likely situation. Did Niu Xinyan use some underhand method, a honey trap maybe? However, as soon as he thought of the idea, he then rejected it. How can Niu Xinyan be so confident that Du Chaosheng’s body will not be discovered? As soon as the body is discovered, isn’t the pinhole needle mark on the elbow the most unfavorable evidence for her? What’s more, if Niu Xinyan wants to kill Du Chaosheng, she can do it in his own room. Or even in her own bed, where she will obviously have countless opportunities, why bother to go outside and fight physically with a well-maintained adult male?

Fang Daichuan couldn’t understand even after squeezing his brain. He looked at the sky and decided to go back to the villa. First, he must figure out how many people are still in the villa, remind everyone that someone has died tonight, tell everyone to stay put inside their room and find a weapon to defend yourself. And then, take a look at the crime scene.

He wanted to wait for dawn, but this kind of heavy rain would erase any evidence on the crime scene overnight.

It’s time for action. Fang Daichuan swiped his card and walked into the villa, reminding himself that at this time, if you, a strong person, didn’t take a stand, then a good person would be in danger.

He wasn’t too panicked at the moment. Someone already died tonight. Even if Li Sinian was a wolf, he wouldn’t have a chance to kill again tonight, so he could interrogate him tomorrow.

With such a naive idea, Fang Daichuan returned to the second floor and first knocked on Ding Zihui’s door.

His thought was very simple-Ding Zihui is a girl, in this situation, the more people gather together, the better it is for the good people. Why should he waste his time looking for someone else?

However, reality slapped him in the face severely. ——There was no one in Ding Zihui’s room.

Currently, Fang Daichuan couldn’t stand straight and his mentality was about to collapse. He squatted in front of Sister Ding’s room, pulling his hair fiercely, feeling exhausted.

“Why don’t I just go back to the room, lock the door, cover my head and fall asleep?” Fang Daichuan asked himself, having a psychological shadow about human nature.

He closed his eyes for a while, remembering Li Sinian’s words. “What cannot be said can never change what can be said.”

“I don’t believe you are evil,” Fang Daichuan stepped up. “I will trust you one more time.” He stood up and started knocking on the door room by room.

He didn’t leave Li Sinian’s room. Starting from Li Sinian’s room in the corner, he knocked all the way to Niu Xinyan’s room.

However, strangely, no one opened the doors for him.

Fang Daichuan rubbed his cheeks, took a few deep breaths to calm himself, then ran back to his room quickly, pulled off an iron rod for drying clothes from the bathroom and closed the door, planning to get his medicine and poison vials first.

His logic was very simple. ——Don’t worry about why others leave the villa. If Li Sinian is really a wolf, then the two vials are unsafe.

Fang Daichuan had mapped out the best path in his mind. After taking the vials, he would go check Du Chaosheng’s crime scene, and then search for Li Sinian.

Tonight, he has to make things clear. Since the night was a werewolf’s time, then he should make everything clear with Li Sinian. “If he can’t win my trust this time, I can only fight with him.” Fang Daichuan said to himself.

However, all his careful plan got defenestrated, as soon as he inadvertently glanced at the window on the second floor. ——Yes, that very same window.

He stood in front of the window and looked casually, thinking that he might be able to see far things and he got his wish.

Fang Daichuan saw two people facing each other on the beach in the distance. In the pouring rain, he recognized Li Sinian’s back.

“Don’t do it!” Fang Daichuan yelled out of the window, started running, the steel rod made an unpleasant sound on the floor. He ran all the way out of the villa, rushing to the beach while cursing inside.

How can I forget that this isn’t a board game where everyone plays according to the rules? Since everyone has poison in their hands, how could they only kill one person a night?! Moreover, they surely won’t kill only at night!

Fang Daichuan rushed like an arrow from a bow. Currently, upon the sea surface, there was a full moon in the distance, hiding behind the clouds and rain.

On the seaside beach, Li Sinian and Liu Xin were in a scuffle, both of them were soaked by wind and rain. Li Sinian was towering above Liu Xin, holding on to Liu Xin. It seemed that he had the upper hand.

But he didn’t do anything else. His face was stern, and he stared at Liu Xin’s face. “What the hell are you doing?”

“Can’t you tell?” Liu Xin sneered, “I told you this morning that I am a seer, yet you still test me at night? Are you stupid? I’m a fucking wolf!”

Li Sinian tightly confined Liu Xin’s limbs. “First, I am not a seer, and second, I don’t believe you are a wolf.”

Liu Xin laughed, “You think I don’t know that you asked Fang Daichuan to shield you this morning? Don’t pretend, you are the seer, and I will kill you.”

(T/N: No Liu Xin, Chuan’er did it by himself, it is a bromance…*cough* Anyway, did you see what I did with the window in this chapter? Also update since someone is dead)
