People are gambling crazily, their charm is super S

If that were the case, wouldn't Kirari and I be destined to be enemies?

No, the masked man didn't say what the conditions for the final victory are, so don't think too much about it and cause yourself anxiety.

Naoki forced himself not to think too much and focus on the game at hand.

The masked man's strange AI voice sounded again: "Half an hour has passed, and everyone should have rested enough. There are currently 20 players left. Let's start our second mini-game now."

"First of all, let me explain that the stakes for our second game are one hundred chips."

There was a commotion among the crowd, and most of their faces became tense.

Obviously, the people with 100 chips now constitute the majority, and if they lose the second game, they will be eliminated directly.

Naoki thought to himself that it was just as Kirari had expected. The number of chips for the second game doubled to one hundred.

However, this number of chips still poses no risk to Qi Luoli.

Perhaps Kirori would be disappointed because her value was too high, resulting in little risk in the game and almost no fun.

"Let me first introduce the background of this game. Once upon a time, there was an ancient village..."

The masked man's voice, which sounded like he was telling a story, really struck Naoki as a bit funny. He felt that it was a bit strange to tell a story in such a serious environment.

"The village is inhabited by simple villagers, but of course, there are also evil werewolves hiding there."

Hearing this, Naoki wondered if it was a Werewolf game. If that were the case, it would rely on acting and eloquence, which he wasn't particularly good at.

"Since there are 20 players present, we will divide into two groups of ten to play this game."

The masked man said, "Now continue explaining the rules of the game."

"In order to defend against attacks by evil werewolves, the villagers built a shelter in the village. Every night, they can hide in the shelter to avoid the threat of the werewolves in the village."

Hmm...it seems to be different from ordinary Werewolf games.

"However, the shelter can only accommodate a maximum of five villagers. In order to fairly distribute the number of villagers entering the shelter each night, the village votes to decide who enters."

"Each villager has five votes. During the day, they will exercise their power to select the kind villagers they want to send to the shelter. The top five villagers with the most votes will enter the shelter. Of course, to avoid a situation where everyone votes for themselves, each villager cannot vote for themselves and can only vote for others."

"Of course, if you don't trust someone, you can choose not to vote. You can vote for one person with all five votes, or you can vote for no one. Those who don't receive any votes, meaning zero votes, will naturally not be able to enter the shelter."

"Every night, the werewolves in the village can use their abilities to randomly attack villagers in a village. The attacked villagers will be eliminated immediately and pay a hundred chips for the round. If the bet is less than a hundred, they will pay all the remaining chips and be eliminated from this world forever. If the werewolf can survive to the end, she will receive the chips paid by all the villagers she killed."

"Well, this needs some explanation. It's different from the traditional Werewolf game. Although the villagers are in the same faction, they don't share the victory when the game ends."

After hearing this, smart people have begun to understand that this is probably a game of finding ways to get others to vote for them to enter the shelter to avoid werewolf attacks and thus avoid direct elimination.

The masked man continued explaining the rules: "A werewolf's victory condition is to occupy half of the people on the field. However, in today's game, there is only one werewolf. This means that when only two players are left and the werewolf is still alive, the werewolf wins. However, as the lucky last survivor, this villager does not need to pay any chips."

"Of course, every villager has their own rights. When a villager believes they have discovered a werewolf, they can call upon the gods to identify it. If the identification is successful, the gods will destroy the werewolf, and the werewolf will pay 100 chips to the villager who successfully identified it."

"If the identification fails, the villager must pay the price for deceiving the gods by being eliminated and paying one hundred chips. Therefore, each villager only has one chance to identify."

"Once the werewolf is eliminated, the game ends, and the remaining villagers don't need to pay any chips."

Naoki narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that in this game, the villagers were not fighting in groups, but were trying to protect themselves and find the werewolves.

The one who finds the werewolf first can get 100 chips and gain an advantage in the next game.

If you don't have that ability, hiding yourself is also an option.

The masked man continued, "I've pretty much explained the rules. Oh, and one more thing. If a werewolf is chosen to enter the sanctuary, he will be unable to suppress his bloodthirsty nature that night and will kill two villagers in the sanctuary. If there are fewer than two villagers in the sanctuary, he will definitely kill another villager."

Some people were shocked, having almost forgotten the possibility of voting werewolves into the sanctuary.

Doesn't this mean that the shelter is not absolutely safe?

Naoki narrowed his eyes. The rules were really complicated. However, how to play the game still depended on one's identity.

"Now, the first group will start playing the game, and the other group will stay in the lounge for a while."

"No. 1, No. 7, No. 13, No. 15, No. 17..."

The masked man read out the numbers of the first group of people participating in the game. Naoki was among them, but Kirari was not selected. However, the opponent of the first game, the girl in white, also happened to be in the same group as Naoki.

Soon, the second group of people were teleported to the lounge, and only the ten people from the first group were left in the hall.

"First, you will be randomly assigned an identity: a villager or a werewolf. To check your identity, please enter the small compartment on the side, where it will be displayed. Once everyone has checked their identity, the game will officially begin."

The ten people looked at each other, and soon, No. 1 took the initiative to walk into the compartment.

This cubicle is like a bathroom, you can't see inside from the outside.

About a minute later, No. 1 walked out in front of everyone with no change in his expression.

Checking the wolf's mouth is an important step after checking the identity card.

In the absence of other information to confirm, the behavior when you first learn your identity is the most authentic.

Judging from the time No. 1 stayed in the cubicle and his expression, he is most likely not a werewolf.

In this game, it is challenging for the werewolf to win, but the chips obtained are definitely rich enough. If you get this role, whether you are excited or nervous, your expression will definitely be heavy.

Of course, everyone can act, and it all depends on your acting skills. If you spend too much time expressing your emotions, it will arouse suspicion.

The second one was No. 7. After she entered the room, she came out in just thirty seconds. She looked a little lost, as if she regretted not getting the identity she wanted.

The third one is the old rival, the girl in white number 13.

It took less than a minute, and his expression was calm, just like when we first met, there was nothing strange about it.

It was Naoki's turn.

The first three don’t look like werewolves. Will it be my turn?

To be honest, Naoki himself couldn't say whether he wanted this role or not.

If you play as a werewolf, you can quickly earn a lot of chips and reduce the gap.

After entering the compartment, there was an electronic screen inside. Naoki stood there quietly for a while, and a simple picture of a villager and the villagers' words appeared on it.

Feeling a little disappointed or perhaps relaxed, after all, the probability of getting a villager was 90%; Naoki walked out calmly.

……

Soon, everyone confirmed their identities.

Everyone was looking at each other, as if trying to guess who the werewolf was.

The masked man's voice sounded again: "The game's day and night are displayed on this timer. The day time is one hour, and the night time is ten minutes. During the day, everyone needs to vote for the person who enters the shelter today."

"At night, please go into your own compartment, that is, the house. Werewolves in the village can choose whether to attack the villagers. When the werewolves are in the shelter, they cannot choose and will be forced to attack the two villagers in the shelter."

"Also, five ballots will appear in the room every day. Everyone can write their numbers on the ballot cards and put them in the ballot box. If there is a tie, it will be decided by luck using rock-paper-scissors."

The masked man paused. "Well, there's another important rule. In this game, the trading of chips is allowed, as long as both parties agree on the terms and come to me to sign the contract."

Naoki raised his eyebrows. This rule might bring about huge changes to the game.

"I think everyone will understand if I put it this way. If you want to enter the shelter, how can you get others to vote for you? Trading chips is allowed. Of course, if everyone can offer something better to get the other party to agree, that's also possible."

Oh no, people with more chips will have an advantage in this game.

Naoki looked at the two chips in his hand and realized that it was impossible to buy a card.

After listening to this, everyone's expressions varied, and some people showed excitement on their faces.

As the one-hour countdown to daylight officially began, the game also began.

Naoki unlocked his room No. 17. This room required personal fingerprint authentication and no one else could enter. Sure enough, there were five blank ballots in the room.

She came to the hall with a blank ballot, and others gathered around like her.

"Well, has everyone decided who they're going to vote for?"

Number 7 said, "Since wolves might enter the shelter, then the shelter is just as dangerous as the village. And if they enter the shelter, they will definitely attack the villagers, which would be even more dangerous."

Number 1 said with some disdain, "Are you trying to persuade us not to go in? Do you think the werewolves would want to stay in the shelter or in the village?"

At the beginning of the game, it is of course easier for a werewolf to hide himself in a village.

If you enter the shelter, after two players are forcibly eliminated, there must be a werewolf among the remaining three players.

This way, five players can be eliminated.

The expected result is that the remaining five players will vote all their cards on these three people to let them re-enter the shelter, let the werewolf kill the remaining two villagers, sacrifice two companions, and then identify the werewolf.

Any werewolf with a little common sense would realize this extremely unfavorable situation.

Therefore, the werewolf will definitely avoid entering the shelter in the first round.

From this perspective, it is safe to enter the shelter in the first round, but it is dangerous to stay in the village.

However, there is a problem. Werewolves cannot know whether others will vote for them and cannot choose whether to enter the shelter.

However, according to the trading rules explained by the masked man, choosing cards can be exchanged for chips. Since one can choose not to vote, no one will vote for others in vain unless there is any benefit.

This way, the werewolf will not enter the shelter unless it buys the selection card.

If you think about it this way, it is safe to actively enter the shelter, and those who try hard to enter the shelter in the first round are most likely good people.

Of course, if the werewolf also considered this, he might feign a desire to enter the sanctuary.

However, no matter how you disguise yourself, your willingness to pay the price is the best proof.

"Number Seven, do you want to enter the shelter?"

Naoki held up the five selection cards in his hand. "Well, as you all know, I only have two chips on me and can't afford the selection. Whoever wants to go in, I'll sell these five tickets to them."

After hearing this, several people were ready to move. Smart people knew that it was safest to enter the shelter in the first round. Although the probability of death was lower if they stayed outside, no one wanted to be eliminated directly in this way.

The few people who only have one hundred and fifty chips on them have the strongest desire to survive.

In a group, there are only one person with 200 chips and one with 150 chips, and the remaining eight people cannot afford to lose.

However, although some people were a little jealous, they did not immediately agree.

Just five selected cards didn't seem enough to guarantee entry into the sanctuary.

But if no one else buys the pick, it seems to be enough.

Naoki sighed. "What are you guys still thinking about? Are you still trying to figure out a way to get into the shelter?"

"Then let me give you an idea."

Naoki curled his lips. "You two will form groups of five and vote for each other. That way, each of you will have five votes. If you buy my five selection cards, each of you will have six votes. The remaining four people will only have 20 votes. If you split it evenly, each of you will still have five votes. This way, the five of you will definitely get in."

The strategy Naoki proposed made everyone present roll their eyes, with different expressions, and some even whispered to each other.

"But how can I guarantee that the other party will vote for me?"

Someone asked a question.

"Isn't there a contract with the mask? It's written that you exchange the other person's five selection cards for the designated person's five selection cards. Then the five people will vote for the next person in order."

That’s right, if we follow the strategy suggested by girl No. 17, we will definitely be able to enter the shelter.

In an instant, some people present became uncontrollably excited.

Naoki took in their secretive expressions. Those who were so excited must be villagers who were eager to enter the shelter.

The less active ones are the werewolves hiding.

"Haha, if you want to enter the shelter, quickly form a team of five. Of course, you have to make sure there are no werewolves in the team. Werewolves will definitely not be very active in entering the shelter in the first round and exposing themselves."

Naoki's words made everyone present excited, no matter if they really wanted to go in or were pretending to want to go in.

The girl in white glanced at Naoki unhappily, displeased that her opponent from the first round had suddenly taken control of the situation. She said, "Hey, are you just going to believe what number 17 says?"

Naoki said, "The mask said it, there's a contract to bind us, and I absolutely keep my word. But you, you really don't want the good guys to stick together, are you a werewolf?"

Naoki's words left the girl in white speechless. She really wanted to attack back, but if it was too conspicuous, targeting No. 17 would make it seem like she was really a werewolf with ill intentions.

Furthermore, Naoki didn't want to enter the shelter because she only had two chips, which was the best proof. The chances of her not being a werewolf were much higher than if she had been stubborn and refused entry.

Afraid that she would be suspected of being a werewolf if this continued, the girl in white could only mutter to herself and blend into the crowd to try to form a team.

Looking at the reaction of the girl in white, Naoki curled the corners of his mouth. He was really lucky. He had roughly confirmed that it was a werewolf in the first round.

Unlike traditional Werewolf games, normal Werewolf games will try to use various behaviors to convince the other party that they are not werewolves.

But the girl in white seemed to have not realized that the game was reversed.

Since a wrong identification will result in direct elimination, in this case, if a good person is suspected of being a werewolf in this game, the reaction will be the opposite.

[That's right, I am a werewolf. Do you dare to point me out? ]

Such a similar attitude.
