Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Page 107

Finally, he stopped struggling.

In the black water formed from dissolved flesh and blood, only a mask remained.

"How miserable."

Liu Zheng said with pity.

If you don't have the ability, don't dress like that. Look at you, you're dead now.

He lowered the window and walked towards his house.

Moonlight shone on him, and a long, red, demonic shadow trailed behind him.

Back in the house, a strong wave of drowsiness washed over Liu Zheng, and he fell into a deep sleep.

"It's dawn, players, please open your eyes."

When he was woken up by the host's voice, he found himself standing at the door.

The same goes for other players, including player number 12, who was poisoned to death by him yesterday.

All the players tacitly sat down in front of the statue in the square, waiting for the host to announce what happened last night.

"Players number 12 and 5 both died last night, without leaving any last words."

As soon as the host finished speaking, number 12 immediately turned into a pool of black water, while number 5 became a mangled wreckage.

Both died. What a pity.

If the guards have chosen the right person, then the good guys can basically declare victory.

Of course, Liu Zheng also knew that he couldn't have all the good things, so he wasn't too upset.

"Triggering the second round of random divine punishment: leniency for all relatives and friends."

"After the player to be executed is selected in this round of voting, the two surviving players closest to him will be banished together."

"Sergeant, please select the order of speaking for this round."

What the hell!

As soon as the host finished speaking, all the players' pupils dilated in shock.

This second round of divine punishment is terrifying. If the vote isn't cast well, both the werewolves and the villagers could suffer a devastating loss.

After the sheriff chose the speaking order, the players spoke in turn.

I won't go into the details of the conversation, but in short, they were accusing each other of being wolves.

Players #9 and #11 made the same statement: they both demanded that Player #3's badge be torn off.

In essence, it doesn't really matter who comes out in this round.

The chances of two or three werewolves being linked together are really low.

No matter who is chosen, the werewolf will profit; the only difference is how much they profit.

All I can say is that this round of divine punishment is really messing with people's mentality; it's almost like the host is deliberately trying to balance things out.

After a moment of urgent thought, Liu Zheng relaxed his brow.

Even in an extremely unfavorable situation, he still found the optimal solution.

"Player #8 speaks. Isn't the only chance of winning by voting for player #10?"

His voice was sonorous and powerful.

"Regardless of whether number 9 or number 11 is the real seer, there must be a werewolf among them, right?"

"Since number 10 has already acknowledged the people, the worst outcome of executing him would be the death of one civilian, one god, and one wolf."

"If things go well, it's a one-for-two trade between civilians, a sure win."

"So, in this round, we don't need to care whether number 3 is a real prophet or whether he has been detected or not. We can just vote out number 10 without any doubt."

"Number 10, go in peace. We will avenge you."

"That concludes my remarks."

Liu Zheng concluded his remarks.

Because anyone with eyes can see that his plan is the most reasonable for good people.

Anyone who acts unreasonably is a wolf.

When the voting for execution began, almost everyone voted for number 10, including number 10 himself.

The only difference was number 9; he still voted for number 3.

"The daytime session is over, and night will begin in two hours."

As soon as the host finished speaking, three gallows rose from the ground, suspending players number 9, 10, and 11 in mid-air.

"Sigh~"

Seeing their painful struggles, Liu Zheng felt that these werewolf players were all seriously ill.

The execution is fake, but the experience of death is real.

If someone comes here to play often, wouldn't they die several times a day?

But considering that the world was inherently abnormal, he suddenly felt that it was normal again.

Watching the other players revel in their deaths, Liu Zheng shook his head and returned to the carpenter's hut.

The rooster is eating sweet potatoes.

It was supposed to be a meal, but it was actually a combination of eating and playing.

It chased the sweet potato everywhere, leaving behind peels and bits of sweet potato all over the house.

Liu Zheng picked it up without any hesitation and whacked the chicken's rear end a few times.

"Hehe! What are you doing?"

The rooster crowed in dissatisfaction.

It tried to peck at Liu Zheng's hand, but he nimbly dodged it.

"Eat properly and don't make a mess. I can't handle Napoleon, but I can handle you."

"My master won't care how I eat."

"That's what the rooster said."

"So he left because you made him angry."

Liu Zheng retorted sharply.

"No, I don't want to talk to you anymore."

The rooster struggled angrily, forcing him to let go.

Then, it went straight to the kitchen and back to its den.

Liu Zheng ignored it, because he needed to consider the situation.

现在，1号、5号、9号、10号、11号、12号都死了。

存活的玩家还有2号、3号、4号、6号、7号、8号。

已知9号和11号里必有一狼，1号和12号大概率是狼，5号和10号应该是个好人。

The best-case scenario is that there is still one wolf left, and this wolf is most likely number 3.

The worst-case scenario is that there are still three wolves.

Under normal circumstances, if there are still three wolves, the good guys have already lost.

However, considering the existence of the Divine Favor Card and the Heavenly Punishment mechanism, a comeback is still possible.

Moreover, this game is not just about Werewolf; the key to victory may very well lie outside of the voting.

Thinking of this, Liu Zheng went to the kitchen and knocked hard on the wooden planks of the basement.

"Do you want to go find your master?"

He said.

"Go."

A few seconds later, the rooster pushed open the wooden board and said in a daze.

"Let's go then."

The activity only lasts two hours, but the forest area is quite large.

Liu Zheng picked up the rooster and walked out of the hut.

Immediately, his eyes narrowed.

Player 2 and Player 6 were both waiting for him at the door.

In the shadows, several pairs of eyes could be seen, appearing and disappearing.

Number 2 and Number 6 looked at Liu Zheng without saying anything and walked directly behind him.

The meaning is clear: they want to act with him.

But Liu Zheng didn't want to.

He suddenly pointed in a direction, and all the players instinctively looked over.

Then, Liu Zheng started running wildly.

After being revived by the potion, the witch's body was greatly strengthened.

By the time the other players realized what was happening, he had already run quite a distance.

Of course, they wouldn't let him get away so easily, and they immediately gave chase.

However, despite this first-mover advantage, they were always several steps behind Liu Zheng.

Actually, doing this might expose his identity, but Liu Zheng didn't care anymore.

The witch, having used both bottles of potion, was no different from any other villager.

Moreover, he possesses a divine favor card: an unstable compound that makes werewolves less likely to kill him the more his identity is exposed.

Liu Zheng didn't know if the werewolf's physical abilities would weaken during the day, but even if they didn't, they wouldn't dare follow him, because that would expose them.

The distance between the two sides also increased. By the time Liu Zheng arrived at the forest entrance, the other players were already dozens of meters behind him.

Faced with the gloomy forest path, he ventured inside without hesitation.

The players who arrived later looked at each other in bewilderment, and then dispersed.

Some followed Liu Zheng into the forest, while others returned to the village.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Liu Zheng.

He is now standing at a crossroads in his life.

Eight forks in the road unfolded before Liu Zheng, each one looking exactly the same.

There was only one straight road when he left the forest.

Of course, space folding is not something to be surprised about in this world.

"Hey, it's time for you to step up your game."

Liu Zheng put the rooster on the ground.

"What force should be used?"

The rooster looked blank.
