Chapter 308 Identity Card
Chapter 308 Identity Card
Within a few seconds of darkness falling, thirteen faint fluorescent lights appeared on the stone table, corresponding to where everyone was sitting.
Gao Yang lowered his head and saw that it was a fluorescent card. When Gao Yang picked up the card, others also picked up the cards one after another. In the darkness, the weak fluorescence illuminated everyone's faces.
Everyone looked like a ghost in the dark.
"Remember your identity card." Master Zuo's ubiquitous voice spread like a tide in the darkness.
Gao Yang took a deep breath and looked at his card seriously.
There is a picture of an ordinary man in commoner clothes, with two words written on it: villager.
Gao Yang was greatly disappointed: I added more than 500 points of luck, but I got a villager card without any information?Do you dare to have better luck?
When Gao Yang was distracted for a moment, the identity tag in his hand turned into a burst of fluorescent dust and disappeared into the darkness.
Immediately afterwards, the candles on the stone table were lit at the same time, and the prison hall returned to a relatively dim light but enough brightness for everyone to see each other clearly.
Gao Yang looked around and saw subtle changes in everyone's expressions. If anything, vigilance and defense appeared unconsciously between his eyebrows.
The 13 people were not monolithic in the first place. They belonged to different organizations and were temporarily united for a common mission.
Now, everyone is forced into a game of mutual suspicion and killing.
The moment they get the identity card, everyone's position is forced to change. Even the people they trusted before may now be enemies who will kill them.
As long as you still want to live, you must be suspicious and wary of everyone. A wrong choice will cost you your life.
This is the real "hell is others".
It turns out that what the observer Zuo Ye really wants to observe is extreme human nature.
Everyone was silent for a while, and Master Zuo's voice sounded again: "Referee, let's begin."
Chen Ying stood up slowly, her eyes evasive: "I got the referee's card."
"Damn it! Why not me?"
Wu Dahai did not hide his jealousy at all. In fact, many other people also cast meaningful glances at Chen Ying.
You know, the referee card is a gold medal for immunity from death. No matter how the game is played, the referee can stay out of the matter without any danger.
Chen Ying had mixed emotions. On the one hand, she was grateful that she had escaped, but on the other hand, she felt guilty.
Moreover, she had to watch her companions deceive and kill each other throughout the whole process, which was not a kind of torture.
"What should I do?" Chen Ying asked into the air: "Should I just tell Tian Hei to close his eyes?"
"Explain the rules of the game." Master Zuo's voice came from all directions.
Chen Ying nodded. She composed herself and tried her best to be a real referee. Her tone was unbiased: "There must be some of us who have never played Werewolf. I will tell you the rules. This is very important. Please listen carefully."
"Werewolf killing is divided into two camps. The 4 wolves are the negative side, and the 4 gods and 4 villagers are the positive side."
"Let me talk about werewolves first. Every night, werewolves can choose to kill anyone, including suicide. There is one white wolf king among the four wolves. It can not only kill people at night, but also during the day, that is, when everyone is talking Choose to self-destruct and take away any player at the cost of suicide."
After Chen Ying finished speaking, she waited for a while to give the novice players some time to digest.
"Let me talk about the magic cards. The first is the prophet. Every night, the prophet can check the identity of any player and know whether the other player is a good person or a werewolf, but he cannot know the specific identity."
"As for the witch, the witch has a bottle of antidote and a bottle of poison in her hand. The antidote can be used to save anyone who dies at night, and the poison can be used to poison anyone at night."
"Then there is the hunter. The hunter can shoot before he dies and take away anyone he wants. However, if the hunter is poisoned by a witch, he cannot shoot."
"The last is the guard. Every night, the guard can choose to guard anyone, including himself. The guarded person will not die when he is selected by the werewolf. Note that if the guarded person is poisoned by a witch, the guarded person will still be alive. Will die. Also note that if the witch's antidote and the guard's protection are used on a player at the same time, the player will be positive and negative, and die directly."
Chen Ying stopped and looked at everyone: "Do you have any questions?"
Seeing that no one raised any questions, she paused for a moment and then continued: "The last is the villagers. The villagers can't do anything. They can only close their eyes at night and open their eyes at dawn, and then vote for the player they think is the wolf. Out."
"By the way, there are also last words. On the first night, players who die for any reason can leave their last words. On the following nights, players who die cannot leave their last words, but they can reveal their identity cards."
"Those who are eliminated during the day can leave their last words, but their identity cards cannot be disclosed."
"Wait a minute." Suzaku had doubts, "How do I remember that in the version I played, the identity card of the deceased cannot be disclosed no matter day or night."
"Yes, you can play like this." Chen Ying actually hid her selfish motives: since killing each other was inevitable, she weighed it again and again and still hoped that the good guys would win. In this case, the ideal situation would be to sacrifice four werewolf companions.
But if four werewolves want to win, it is impossible to kill them accurately without killing any of the wolves. The total number of deaths at the end of the game will definitely be very high.
The rule that people who die at night can turn over cards can greatly reduce the difficulty for the good guys to find wolves and make it easier to win.
"Master Zuo," Chen Ying said to the air, "Which method should I choose?"
"The referee decides." Zuo Ye replied.
"Okay, keep the rules unchanged." Chen Ying said with a heartbeat: I'm sorry for the four companions who got the wolf card. If you want to hate me, just hate me.
Chen Ying continued: "After the first night, everyone can go to the police. I will explain this rule after the game starts so that friends who have never played it can better understand."
Chen Ying thought for a while, that should be all. She looked at everyone again: "Do you have any questions?"
No one questioned it.
Ten seconds later, Master Zuo's voice came: "Everyone, please go back to the prison cell. The referee will stay."
Everyone did not take action immediately and looked at each other.
In fact, until this moment, everyone was still lucky:
Maybe you don’t have to play this game.Maybe there is a turning point, for example, someone suddenly finds Zuo Ye's hiding place, and everyone works together to kill him, take the runes and leave here.
Or a companion may find that his talent can restrain Master Zuo's strange abilities and lead everyone to escape.
But the fact is: after a long minute, none of the above situations happened.
No one dares to drag it out any longer. Master Zuo’s tolerance has limits. If you don’t cooperate, you will be out.
Finally, Qing Ling stood up first and strode into her cell.
"lb--"
The iron door of the prison closed automatically, imprisoning Qing Ling inside.
Qing Ling sat back on the single bed, placed the Tang Dao beside the bed, closed her eyes and rested.
Teacher Douhu taught her that under any circumstances, even in hopeless despair, she should try to remain calm and strong. This is the only correct approach.
"Damn it!" Wu Dahai stood up for the second time and looked at everyone: "Everyone, we have no grievances and no one wants to get to this point! But I can never die here, I will not show mercy. of!"
Wu Dahai walked into the single cell next to Qing Ling.
"lb--"
A few seconds later, the iron door of Wu Dahai's room closed automatically.
X stood up in the third one, he stretched his waist, or smiled indifferently: "I know, you must hate me now, and you can't kill me."
"If I could get out by killing you, I would have done it long ago." Suzaku said coldly.
"Ha."
Bai Hu, who has been silent all this time, has secretly tried to activate his talent many times, but all failed.
He stood up and sighed: "I can only leave it to fate."
"If you don't die here, you will most likely die from the scarlet tide." White Rabbit also stood up: "If you think about it this way, can everyone be more accepting of it?"
A very soft curse word escaped from the corner of Suzaku's mouth. She stood up and walked to her cell.
Others no longer hesitated, accepted the cruel reality, and got up one after another and returned to the prison cell.
"Pound, pound pound pound -"
The iron doors are closed one after another, and the game officially begins.
Just as Gao Yanggang sat down on the cold bed, Chen Ying's fair but heavy voice came: "It's dark...please close your eyes."
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of gray fog suddenly filled the center of the building. The fog was very thick and had a vague texture. They were changing and flowing irregularly, as if there were countless big fish in the fog. Swim slowly, which has a good disorienting effect.
"Guard, please show up."
"Crack-"
The iron door of the single cell opened again.
Gao Yang wanted to use the sound to tell the direction in which the iron gate opened and determine the general location of the guard.
But it was useless, the voice was like Master Zuo's, coming from all directions.
"Guard, please choose the person you want to protect." Chen Ying said.
About 30 seconds passed.
"Okay, I understand. Guards, please return to your posts."
30 seconds passed.
"Werewolf, please show up."
"Crack-knock-"
Continuous door opening sounds sounded at the same time, still coming from all directions, leaving no clues.
Chen Ying's voice came again, revealing a hint of too deliberate calmness: "Werewolves, please confirm each other's wolf companions."
A thought flashed through Gao Yang: This meant that there might be someone in the wolf camp that Chen Ying didn't want to see the most. That was naturally her companion Green Tea or the Clown, so she had major mood swings and had to pretend to be calm.
Gao Yang guessed as he walked to the prison door, trying to see clearly the four werewolves in the fog. He did make out four vague figures, near the round table.
However, these four figures kept changing, like flames, sometimes fatter, sometimes thinner, sometimes taller, sometimes shorter, without any stable characteristics at all.
The four people seemed to be communicating, but Gao Yang could only hear a "buzzing" sound.
Obviously, in this mysterious gray fog, everyone's identity has been "encrypted", and it is impossible to try to find the werewolf based on "off-site information".
Gao Yang expected this, so he stopped trying and returned to the bedside.
About a minute passed, and the four wolves finished communicating.
"The werewolf..."
After a long pause, Chen Ying announced with some difficulty: "Please kill someone."
