Werewolf: There’s a hole in my helmet

Chapter 634, Phase Two Begins! Board Type: Night of Cupid!
Crow chimed in from the side, "Don't drag me into this. I'm not as good at joking with fans as you are."

The other team members also joked, "I didn't even play in the national competition, and people still want my autograph? This is the first time I've ever signed an autograph for someone!"

Huang Manmiao pressed the button, then turned to look at the people in the elevator mirror, her tone becoming more serious.

"Having many fans is a good thing, but there's a match tomorrow, so get some rest tonight and don't stay up too late."

"I just told the front desk to keep an eye out, and if any fans come, to tell them that you're already closed."

Wang Changsheng and the crow both nodded.

The elevator has reached the floor.

Huang Manmiao went out first, then turned back and urged, "Go back to your room quickly, you need to get up a little earlier tomorrow morning, don't oversleep."

"Don't worry!" Wang Changsheng replied, bid farewell to everyone, and walked towards his room.

……

Wait until the next day.

Wang Changsheng, along with his team members, headed to the arena once again.

Not long after all the pre-match preparations were completed, Wang Changsheng and Crow entered the battle room again.

Before they arrived, there were already quite a few people in the stands, and by the time the match started, the venue was completely full.

The narrator's voice rang out.

"Ladies and gentlemen! I extend a warm welcome to you all for having traveled from afar!"

"Today, we will have six matches to determine the final winner!"

"Now, our Tianyi division only has six teams left, and each team will send two players!"

"Without further ado, let's begin our first match of the day!"

"The first match of the second stage of the WWC2023 Werewolf World Championship Tianyi Division is now starting!"

The tide has come, the game begins.

The game board for this round is Night of Cupid.

Now let's explain the game rules:
The competition uses a team-based rule.

The werewolves win if they kill all villagers or all divine roles, as well as the third-party faction.

If the good guys vote out all the werewolves with knives and the third-party faction, then the good guys win.

If the third-party faction kills all the good guys and werewolves, then the third-party faction wins.

The roles in this game include—

Three werewolves, four civilians, four divine citizens, and one Cupid.

The werewolves consist of two ordinary werewolves and a wolf king.

The people of the gods include: prophets, witches, hunters, and idiots.

Each night, the Seer can determine whether one player is a good guy or a werewolf.

The witch possesses a bottle of poison and a bottle of antidote. She can only use one bottle each night and cannot save herself from the disease.

When a hunter is killed by a wolf or banished from the game, they can flip a card and designate a player to be shot, thus eliminating that player as well. If poisoned, the hunter cannot activate their skill.

When an idiot is banished, they will reveal their identity by flipping over a card to remove the effects of the banishment. After the skill is activated, they will be unable to participate in the banishment vote or be voted on for the remainder of the game.

If an idiot is voted out as sheriff, he will activate his ability to remove the effects of his exile, but he will still give a speech about being expelled and then relinquish the sheriff's badge after handing it over.

During the remainder of the game, the Idiot will lose the right to vote and be voted on, and will be unable to become the recipient of the sheriff's badge.

When the Wolf King is killed by a wolf or banished from the game, he can flip over a card and designate a player to be shot.

Cupid belongs to the variable faction. On the first night, he acts in front of the werewolves and can choose any two players to become his best friends.

If both best friends are good guys, Cupid and the good guys have the same victory conditions. If both best friends are werewolves, Cupid and the werewolves have the same victory conditions.

If Cupid and his best friend are a good guy and a werewolf respectively, then Cupid and his best friend become the third faction, and the victory condition is that all other faction players are eliminated.

The speaking time is 210 seconds, and the time for the last words is 120 seconds.

Let love spread throughout the world.

[Identity cards are now being distributed]

Wang Changsheng was still sitting in seat number 7, and Crow was still sitting in seat number 11.

Although two teams and four members left, the positions of many people have only changed slightly.

The position of the second chief steward, number 1, has not changed.

Number 2 is still Hunting Moon from the White Night Team.

Number 3 is yesterday's ink stain from the parliament, and number 4 is the tide of the daytime expeditionary force.

Number 5 is Kirigiri from the White Night Squad, and number 6 is Glass Sea from the White Day Expeditionary Force.

Number 8 is the weightlessness of the Secret Fire Council.

Number 9 is the quadrant of the Scorching Sun Council.

Number 10 is Yi Xing from the Second General Manager Team.

Number 12 represents the disorder within the Secret Fire Council.

This board can basically be considered a third-party board, because the presence of Cupid means that the situation on the field can change.

Wang Changsheng had previously played a similar third-party team strategy during the national competition, such as the "Double Happiness Bride" strategy.

It is also a match with 12 players.

Now, we've encountered a third-party camp.

Cupid doesn't have any particularly great abilities; he can only connect to the cards in the outer positions.

However, if played well, it can produce excellent results.

At that time, Wang Changsheng, as the bride, dragged No. 1 and No. 11 and dominated the entire scene.

As for this time, he was unsure of his current trump card, nor was he certain of his identity as an outsider.

Moreover, he had put in a lot of effort to win the previous match against the bride. Now, instead of asking him to do it again, it would be better to just give him a powerful trump card or a werewolf who can make a move and kill indiscriminately from the outside.

However, this time the board is a little different from the previous ones. Because of the presence of Cupid, it usually comes with a Thief card or a similar identity skill as a trump card.

However, this wave directly included four civilians, and there were no thieves. In other words, the possibility of more possibilities has been slightly reduced, which will make it more stable.

This is somewhat in line with the situation of the competition.

He slowly reached for his hidden card.

After realizing his true identity, he paused in surprise.

She was a witch?
That's great.

That's exactly the trump card he wanted!
Although the witch only has one antidote, what if, after seeing Cupid's actions clearly, he manages to win over the wolf king and make him his close friend?
Wouldn't he be able to kill the wolf king with a single poison, eliminating not only one werewolf but also one werewolf from the third-party faction?

He killed two birds with one stone, and his gains were considerable!
[Close your eyes when it gets dark]

Cupid, please open your eyes!

Please select two players to become your best friends.

Cupid's Night.

Crow number 11 slowly opened its eyes.

Upon seeing that the crow was Cupid switching sides, Wang Changsheng subtly twitched the corner of his mouth inwardly.

Good guy...

He was originally thinking that since he wasn't Cupid, he could just go around killing people as a good guy. But now that the crow has picked up this identity card, will the crow pull him into a third-party camp?

It's not entirely certain, since if you want to choose the crow as Cupid's best friend, you have to choose another card, and that card has to be a werewolf.

Otherwise, if he chooses another good person, they will become two teammates on the same side.

In this respect, werewolves are at a slight disadvantage.

Because the number of priests and civilians remained the same, but one werewolf was missing, and the missing werewolf was replaced by Cupid.

Therefore, in this game, the ones who suffer the most are not the good guys, but the werewolves.

Furthermore, what if Cupid could choose a good guy and a werewolf?

The good guys only lose one card, but the werewolves only have three cards to begin with. Losing another werewolf is a real headache. After removing his helmet, the crow looked around, pondered for a moment, and then looked directly at Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng paused silently, realizing that the other party was preparing to choose him.

But it doesn't really matter. Even if they become a third party, we can just have another round of all-out victories!

Who cares about anything else!
Sure enough, after a moment's thought, the crow raised its hand to the judge.

[You chose numbers 7 and 12 as your best friends.]

Werewolves, please open your eyes!

"Please select the target you wish to kill."

Werewolf Night.

Numbers 3, 9, and 12 all opened their eyes at the same time.

Ink stain number 3 glanced at his two teammates.

"We can't be sure right now whether Cupid is a close friend of ours, or whether Cupid is on our side. So let's reveal our identities first. I'm just an ordinary werewolf. Who is the werewolf king?"

Quadrant 9 shrugged: "It wasn't me."

Then, the two turned their attention to No. 12, Disorder.

The latter nodded: "I am the wolf king. As for Cupid and his best friend, we should wait and hear what they have to say."

"It can only be said that our Wolves team was at a great disadvantage from the start. After all, we only have three people. If we had two close friends, it would be fine, but that means Cupid is at least on our side, so we have one more person."

"But what if Cupid takes one person away in the end, leaving only two people? What's the point of playing then?"

"So if any of you get hit by Cupid's arrow, I think it would be better to let the good guys win, at least so that a third party doesn't score and we don't lose too many points."

Ink Stain #3 nodded: "I agree with that. Werewolves cannot tolerate traitors!"

Quadrant 9 chuckled: "But that's not something we can decide. Why don't we think about who should jump first after we get up?"

Number 12 paused for a moment: "Originally, I could have jumped directly without any problem, but as the Wolf King, the best outcome for me is to be eliminated and shoot, so I don't really want to be the one poisoned by the Witch."

"Therefore, I think it's better for one of you to jump, and there's no need to keep the card under the police."

"Even if you guys jump out and don't fool any good people, I'll try to side with you, get banished, and then self-destruct. That way, I can salvage the situation to some extent."

"Of course, I think it would be best if you could take them down with a jump."

"Therefore, we'll deploy all our officers and see who's the best candidate to jump."

Number 3 and Number 9 both nodded, showing little disagreement with Number 12's statement.

The most important thing right now is to figure out who Cupid has chosen as his best friend.

To discern whether any of these werewolves became Cupid's closest friend.

It would be fine if there were two people from their own camp.

However, if a lone werewolf is chosen by Cupid, then that card enters the hands of a third party, making it even more difficult for the werewolves to fight.

There were already few people.

In fact, it would be better to just let the good guys win!

It's better than watching a third party win!
So who are we killing today?

"Let's find a possible priest. I don't think number 6 and number 7 are very godlike. Of course, number 7 might be faking it, but we killed him on the first day. He wasn't from our faction, so if the witch saves him, she might just save him too."

“That’s true, unless Number 7 is a witch, but I think the probability is too small, so I don’t think killing Number 7 is a good idea. I think maybe we could kill Number 11.”

“This card actually has some significance, at least in my opinion,” said No. 12, Disorder.

"Then kill number 11."

The other two werewolves nodded.

The target you chose to kill is...

[No. 11]

[Please close your eyes to confirm]

Watching these wolves discuss and debate, constantly debating who to kill.

The final blow landed on number 11's head.

Wang Changsheng wasn't too surprised.

After receiving Cupid's blessing on the 11th, a slight indication of its auspiciousness was revealed.

However, he quickly concealed his true feelings, making it seem as if he hadn't changed at all.

But it's normal that Wang Changsheng noticed this, and it's also normal that Number 12 next to him noticed it.

Kill it.

Kill them and then save them.

[Witch, please open your eyes]

"Did player number 11 use the antidote or poison tonight?"

Wang Changsheng opened his eyes.

Look at the No. 11 crow that was killed by the werewolf.

If he doesn't save the other person, that guy will die instantly.

What else is there to say?

Just save them!

They are now on the same side.

This board does not restrict the elimination of one close friend from being eliminated.

It's slightly different from the couple's board. Although both are Cupid's, the person chosen by Cupid is not a lover, but a close friend.

Therefore, each board has some variations and is not completely identical.

Before starting the game, you must carefully read the abilities of each character card.

Who knows if the description will change depending on the board type?

The recipient of the antidote you chose is...

[No. 11]

[Please close your eyes to confirm]

Wang Changsheng gave the judge's gesture again, and after seeing that he had successfully saved No. 11 with the antidote, he slowly closed his eyes.

[Prophets, please open your eyes!]

"Please select the person whose identity you wish to verify."

The Night of the Prophet.

Number 8 opened his eyes in a state of weightlessness.

Looking at the people around him.

He was the first to ponder before turning his gaze to Wang Changsheng.

"Regarding the outer position cards, I've only specifically analyzed this number 7, which seems like an ordinary person. But I haven't analyzed the outer position cards before."

After a moment of hesitation, Number 8 raised his hand to the judge.

The object you selected for inspection is...

[No. 7]

His identity is...

[Good person]

"Good guy?"

Number 8 frowned in the weightlessness.

So this guy is just an ordinary person?
That would have been a waste of time!
