By a twist of fate, the illegitimate son of the Marquis's family marries the county princess.

Seeing Fang Sichu's choice—

Wen Zongji laughed angrily: "We're all watching with our eyes open. You know I'm not a barbarian, yet you still won't save me. What are you thinking? Also, the old woman's antidote can only save you on the first night. After tonight, don't even think about using it on yourself."

He strongly suspected that Fang Sichu wanted to keep the antidote for herself.

Fang Sichu said, "I didn't plan to use it myself. But after listening to Brother Wen's introduction, I felt that there was a possibility of barbarian suicide. Although we are all watching closely, since this is a simulation, we have to treat it as a real game and take into account the possibility of barbarian suicide."

Wen Zongji: "...You're very smart. It's certainly possible, but generally speaking, the medicine woman will save people on her first night. Although there's a possibility that she might save a barbarian, in most cases, it's her own people who get killed."

Fang Sichu nodded: "Oh."

"So, are you going to change your mind?"

Fang Sichu shook her head decisively: "No."

Wen Zongji: "...Alright. Medicine Woman, you have a bottle of poison. Do you want to use it?"

Fang Sichu shook her head again.

"Mother of Medicine, please close your eyes. It's dawn. The person who died last night was... me."

puff-

Pei Rujing couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Everyone else smiled too.

This outcome is the result of cooperation among several parties; no one is innocent.

Wen Zongji glanced at Pei Rujing and continued, "Normally, we have to be numbered before playing Barbarian Kill, but we all know each other, so there's no need to use code names."

"After dawn, the survivors will speak in turn, mainly about the abnormalities they felt last night, such as the noises they heard, or their guesses about someone's facial expression. They can also determine someone's identity based on their speech, since the commoners and the superhumans have to find and eliminate the barbarians if they want to win."

"Alright, let's start with Room Two. Second Brother, get ready to speak next."

Fang Sichu suspected that Wen Zongji was retaliating, but had no evidence. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Hmm, I vaguely heard some noises around me last night. Second Brother Pei, I suspect you are a barbarian."

Pei Shirong was stunned by these words: "You guessed it was me right away? What am I supposed to say?"

Wen Zongji advised, "Second Brother, you need to find loopholes in his words, and at the same time, try your best to use your words to guide others so that they don't suspect you of being a barbarian. For example, if Fang Er suspects you based on the sounds around him, you can then ask him why he doesn't suspect the other girl, Zuo, and whether he is biased and unwilling to identify Zuo, so he deliberately pins the blame on you."

Fang Sichu felt wronged: "I really heard a noise. Even if I didn't open my eyes, I would definitely suspect Brother Pei."

Wen Zongji reminded: "Those who have already spoken cannot speak again until the end of this round of speeches."

Fang Sichu had no choice but to shut her mouth, her eyes still fixed on Wen Zongji, waiting for him to give a reason.

Wen Zongji continued to instruct Pei Shirong: "Second brother is a barbarian. Your goal is to kill all the civilians or supernatural beings. Although barbarians can kill people at night, they also need to guess the identities of others from their daytime conversations so that they can kill the civilians or supernatural beings as quickly as possible."

"So no matter what method you use, you can't let yourself be eliminated. If you don't want people to suspect your identity, you have to learn to argue sophistry. Also, remember, you don't need to convince Fang Er, who suspects you, but the others who are listening to Fang Er. So don't worry about Fang Er finding loopholes in what you say, as long as the others believe you."

Pei Shirong nodded as if he understood, and following Wen Zongji's instructions, he turned his attention to Zuo Mingxuan.

Mei Yilan was beside him.

Mei Yilan said, "I am a physiognomist. Last night I examined Young Master Pei, and he is a barbarian. I suggest we vote later to eliminate Young Master Pei first."

Next to Mei Yilan was Wen Zongji, who was already dead and had no right to speak. The next person to speak was naturally Pei Rujing.

Upon hearing Mei Yilan accuse Pei Shirong, Pei Rujing panicked. Remembering Wen Zongji's words about faking identities, she immediately said, "I am the fortune teller. I examined Miss Mei last night, and you are the barbarian. Now you are deliberately accusing your brother to confuse the public and conceal your true identity. Listen to me when you vote later, and eliminate Miss Mei."

The last to speak was Zuo Mingxuan. She rolled her eyes and said, "I am the herbalist. Last night, Lord Wen was killed. I was worried that it was a ruse by the barbarians, so I did not save him. Now, both Miss Mei and the county princess claim to be fortune tellers. One of you must be a barbarian. I believe Miss Mei more."

Pei Rujing frowned.

Zuo Mingxuan continued, "Because according to common sense, if someone has the identity of a fortune teller, the first person they should check should be the one they know best. It is reasonable for Miss Mei to check Young Master Pei, but it is very abnormal for the county princess to check Miss Mei. Therefore, I suspect that the county princess is a barbarian."

Wen Zongji clapped his hands and said, "Miss Zuo is very capable. These words directly exposed the county princess's weakness. I believe that even if others do not know the county princess's identity, they will believe that Miss Mei is a fortune teller because of these words and eliminate the county princess."

"That's how you play Barbarian Kill: keep checking the logic, analyze everyone's speech, and ultimately win the game."

"Next, please vote."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone pointed at Pei Rujing.

As Wen Zongji said, one of the two fortune tellers was real and the other was fake. Zuo Mingxuan found a loophole in Pei Rujing's words, which naturally made Mei Yilan's identity better.

And so, Pei Rujing was eliminated so easily.

Wen Zongji suppressed a laugh as he looked at her: "My wife, are you feeling sorry for me and have come to keep me company?"

Pei Rujing glared at him: "Next time I definitely won't lose so early."

Now, her competitive spirit has been ignited.

Wen Zongji continued to act as referee: "It's dark, please close your eyes; barbarians, please open them. Who is the person you wish to kill?"

Pei Shirong immediately pointed at Zuo Mingxuan; he hadn't forgotten the conditions for winning.

They've already killed the civilian Wen Zongji; if they kill the last civilian, Zuo Mingxuan, they'll win this game.

Zuo Mingxuan immediately protested, "That's not right. I've already said I'm a medicine woman, and Miss Mei's identity as a fortune teller has also been revealed. According to the information you should know, you should be the one to kill Fang Sichu."

Fang Sichu also said, "That's right, you should kill me."

Pei Shirong scratched his head: "But I know Miss Zuo is a commoner, so wouldn't it be too foolish of me to still go and kill Fang Er?"

Fang Sichu and Zuo Mingxuan, who were both too immersed in their roles, were speechless for a moment.

Wen Zongji continued the procedure directly: "Barbarian, please close your eyes; Medicine Woman, please open your eyes. She was the one who died last night. Do you want to save her?"

Fang Sichu nodded immediately, as if striking garlic.

Wen Zongji gritted his teeth; he was so eager to save his fiancée.

Pei Shirong was dumbfounded.

He forgot that Fang Sichu still had the antidote.

Finished!

It's really over!

Wen Zongji quickly completed the procedures and moved on to the second day: "Last night was Christmas Eve, today we'll start with Miss Zuo speaking."

Zuo Mingxuan said bluntly, "Miss Mei is a fortune teller. She has already said that Young Master Pei is a barbarian. We don't need to waste time saying anything more. Let's just eliminate him directly."

And so, the rest of the speaking process ended abruptly.

Pei Shirong knew he was powerless to change the situation, so he only made a few symbolic arguments and then said nothing more.

The voting results came out quickly, and everyone pointed to Pei Shirong.

Wen Zongji said, "With Pei Shirong eliminated, the good guys win."
