Chapter 6: Werewolf is just one word: Deception!
In the virtual space.
As the Judge announced it was daytime.
The masks on the faces of the twelve players at the round table disappeared.
Except for Wang Changsheng, almost everyone was observing the players on the field, trying to deduce their identities.
Some were more exaggerated, looking as if they wanted to stand up and walk around.
Others were more reserved, merely glancing around calmly.
Wang Changsheng noticed that among the other eleven people, the Self-Stabbing Guy, Player 1, was the most exaggerated.
He noticed that the corner of the other party's mouth seemed hard to suppress, but of course, it quickly settled down, showing a bewildered look.
"Heh, could it be that he thinks he's tricked me out of my Witch's potion?" Wang Changsheng sneered in his heart.
"The election for Sheriff is now beginning. Players who wish to run, please raise your hands."
At this moment, a magnetic voice sounded.
Wang Changsheng and several other players raised their hands.
In the game, the on the podium phase is very important for both werewolves and Good Guys.
And in this phase, the God and Wolf players jumping as Seer is the most crucial part.
Of course, if a Good Guy wants to try to manipulate, they can also directly jump as Seer on the podium to test the identity card of someone they suspect to be a wolf during the deduction phase.
However, Wang Changsheng scanned the room and it seemed not many people chose to be on the podium this time.
"There are 5 players on the podium in this game: Player 3, Player 6, Player 7, Player 10, and Player 11."
"According to the current time, Player 6 will speak first. Player 7, please be ready."
As the Judge's magnetic voice faded.
The Cute Girl next to Wang Changsheng chuckled.
She hunched her body slightly and said playfully, "I am not the Seer."
"I didn't expect to be the first to speak. Perfect, I came on the podium simply to express that this is the last round of the competition, so everyone, let's do our best~"
Though the Cute Girl was cute, her assets were not small.
As she was speaking, she inexplicably straightened her back, and then continued, "Besides that, I came up to distinguish the Seer, but I ended up being the first to speak, so I can only share my deductions."
The Cute Girl looked around, scanning everyone, and finally her gaze fell on Wang Changsheng.
However, she didn't stare for too long and quickly retracted her gaze.
"I wonder if my deductions are accurate. Let me say beforehand, I'm just sharing; I won't directly condemn or protect anyone. You can't use my intuitive deductions against me later, okay?"
"Hmm…"
The Cute Girl rested one hand under her chest and stroked her chin with the other.
"Not many players are on the podium. First, I think Player 11's expression was a bit strange when the cards were revealed, not looking too good. Since you're also on the podium, I'll listen to your speech later."
"Then there's Player 10. I specifically noticed both of you. I think Player 11 isn't great, but I think Player 10 is okay. We'll listen to what you both have to say later; this is just my intuition."
At this point, the Cute Girl waved her hand, "Alright, alright, I won't waste any more time. I'll take a side under the sheriff. I'm done!"
Player 6, the Cute Girl, as a Werewolf, managed to act like a bewildered Good Guy from the first position.
It must be said that the women's acting skills were almost flawless.
If Wang Changsheng hadn't seen her open her eyes during the Werewolf night, he might have actually been fooled by her.
Moreover, she spoke about Player 10 and Player 11, one jumping as Seer, the other a Gold Water card.
This ambiguous perspective could very well make Player 10, the Seer, genuinely believe that Player 6 is a Good Player Card.
"As expected of a national professional competition; none of the players who made it to the Top 48 to Top 24 are simple."
"Player 7, please begin your speech."
It was his turn to speak.
Wang Changsheng's expression was very calm.
The Werewolf game is just one thing—deception!
However, his helmet had a hole, allowing him to observe the night's actions.
No matter how good the werewolves were at pretending or deceiving, it was useless against him.
He just needed to organize his words well so that the Good Guys in the outer positions would believe him.
Of course, he wouldn't attack Player 6 right after she finished speaking.
That would be too obvious and might make other Good Guys think he was the wolf.
So Wang Changsheng pondered for a moment.
The performance begins!
"Player 6's speech sounded quite good. Of course, I'm not protecting her; after all, she was the first to speak and only shared her deductions, without any other maneuvers. So, in my opinion, it was a passable speech."
"However, her deductions differ from mine. I think Player 10's card reveal was good, but I didn't think Player 11's was that bad. We can listen to them later."
"There are only 5 cards on the podium. I am a Good Guy. I found Player 6's speech slightly good, and since she didn't jump in the first position to fight the Seer in a later position, I provisionally consider her an X-biased card." (Meaning biased for/against a specific Player[X].)
"And since both Player 6 and I think Player 10's card reveal was decent, and I also don't think Player 11's card reveal was that bad, then if there's a wolf pit on the podium, it might only be Player 3."
Wang Changsheng's gaze fell on the Pointy-faced Man.
The other party was currently glaring at him.
However, Wang Changsheng smiled indifferently, "So if Player 3 jumps as Seer, it might be difficult for me to side with him. Of course, I still need to listen to his speech. And if he doesn't jump, and instead Player 10 and Player 11 jump against each other, then I might have misidentified someone."
Wang Changsheng's speech was steady and orderly, his emotions solid, and he didn't stumble, giving a very good impression.
He could see many cards in the outer positions subtly nodding, seemingly finding his speech leaning towards a Good Guy.
This was not only because he spoke well, but most importantly, he didn't immediately attack Player 6, the Cute Girl, who was a Werewolf in position.
Because even he thought Player 6's speech was quite good, let alone the Good Guys in the outer positions.
Rashly attacking Player 6 would only make him die faster.
Although he had the identity of a Witch and wasn't afraid of being attacked by people in the outer positions.
But since the poison had already been cast, he only held one bottle of antidote.
Therefore, to use the antidote, he first had to survive.
In this round, he couldn't expose his identity to accuse Player 6 of being a wolf; there was no logic.
Nor could he reveal at this point that he had poisoned Player 3, otherwise the other party would immediately self-destruct and swallow the poison. Even if there was a Guard, the other party might not tolerate him and would very likely choose to guard either Player 10 or Player 11 that night.
If the werewolves then secretly killed him, Wang Changsheng would regret it immensely.
So, for the sake of game victory and to crush Player 3, he didn't mind being more cautious.
