Chapter 17: The Werewolves Still Have Some Tricks Up Their Sleeves
When Player 5 Ping Tou Ge heard Player 6 say she disagreed with Player 7's views but still thought Player 7 was a Good Guy, he understood his Wolf Teammate's intentions.
Player 6 likely wanted to package Player 7 into her Wolf Team.
That way, after Player 10 verified a Confirmed Kill the next day, Players 6, 7, and 9 might all be voted out together.
This would allow them to catch up by two rounds.
They might even have a chance to win!
So, what Player 5 needed to do now was play up Player 7's wolfish side; even if Player 9 could possibly be a Good Player Card, Player 7 was definitely Player 6's Wolf Teammate.
"Player 10, there's really no problem with you verifying Player 6 on the first day. As for Player 9, I don't think you need to waste a verification on him."
"After all, Player 7 protected Player 9, Player 6 protected Player 7, and Player 7 also protected Player 6 while on the podium. There's a logical connection between these three cards. Player 6 and Player 7 are especially protecting each other, so you don't need to verify both. Verifying Player 6 alone is enough."
"Today, let's exile someone from the outer positions who speaks like a wolf. Even if we mistakenly exile a Villager, we won't lose out in terms of rounds."
"If you verify Player 6 as a Confirmed Kill, then we can just eliminate Player 7 and Player 9 in sequence."
"If you verify Player 6 as Golden Water, then we can set Player 7 and Player 9 aside for a bit and listen to another round of their speeches before deciding who to exile. Of course, my personal inclination is to exile Player 7."
"After all, your original second badge flow was Player 7, but now he wants to change your badge flow from his position because he's unwilling to take a verification from you. So, if you verify Player 6 as a Confirmed Kill, Player 7 is most likely her Werewolf companion. If you verify Player 6 as Golden Water, Player 7 is a Werewolf Card that Player 6 protected by mistake. In short, whether you look at it forward or backward, I think Player 7's inexplicable protection of Player 9 and his refusal to take a verification from you makes it highly likely he's a Werewolf Card."
"Or, if you think exiling someone from the outer positions is inappropriate, you can exile one of Player 7 or Player 9. I'm leaning toward exiling Player 7."
"And Seer, you can rest assured, they definitely can't hold any special roles, they're just Villagers. Therefore, even if we exile the wrong one among the two, Player 3 most likely exited as a Wolf Gun, so we're still ahead in rounds."
"Now we just need to figure out the relationship between cards 6, 7, and 9."
Player 5 Ping Tou Ge's speech was full of confidence.
Especially that line about Player 7 and Player 9 only being able to hold Villager roles was exceptionally certain.
To those in the outer positions, this kind of speech made it seem very likely that his hidden card was one of the remaining two Gods.
The Guard or the Hunter.
But Honey Badger didn't explicitly state it; he only used it as a hint.
Letting the Good Guys in the outer positions guess.
They would only feel that Player 5 seemed like a Good Guy hiding his role; after all, the first impression was that he might be holding a God Card.
Therefore, the people speaking in later positions probably wouldn't target Player 5, but would instead follow his line of reasoning.
A Villager's card is a Villager; they wouldn't choose to attack Player 5.
Even the remaining two Gods would only think Player 5 was the other God Card.
This was the subtlety of language.
Your attitude, tone, and way of speaking would all affect how others perceived you.
When getting a werewolf.
Learning to bluff is necessary.
"Today, Seer, you just verify Player 6. There's no need to change the badge flow. As for the second badge flow, there's no need to verify among Player 7 and Player 9. You can verify Player 8, or pick a card from the positions after me."
"Then there's nothing else. Player 9's speech indeed suggested he might be a Good Guy, but Player 7 has already protected Player 9, yet still wants you to verify Player 9. That really doesn't look like a Good Guy's move. So, if no one else is being exiled today, I will cast my vote for Player 7."
"Pass."
A professional player is indeed a professional player.
This improvisational reaction ability was quite good.
Wang Changsheng searched through his memory.
He discovered that Player 5 came from the 'Hidden Wolf' team, one of the top ten teams in the country.
Although this team was ranked at the bottom of the top ten, it still possessed strength that could not be underestimated.
Wang Changsheng had already felt it.
He could know through the hole in his visor that Player 5 was a Knife-Wielding Werewolf at night.
But the other Good Guys didn't know.
Now, with this kind of speech, he was subtly claiming a God Card role to hammer him.
He didn't even need to have very tight logic to have a high probability of getting the Good Guys on the field to accept his identity as a Good Guy.
Unless he explicitly claimed a God Role and clashed with the Guard or the Hunter, it would actually be very difficult for him to be exiled this round.
Unless the Good Guys could rationally distinguish the relationship between 5, 6, 7, and 9.
And accept Wang Changsheng.
Only then would it be possible to vote Player 5 out.
But Wang Changsheng actually didn't hold much hope for this.
After all, although he had a hole in his visor and knew the exact positions of the werewolves.
The werewolves' speeches and acting were not bad either.
He couldn't just tell everyone flat out that Player 5 was a wolf.
Otherwise, if he pushed too hard, it would backfire.
He didn't want to end up being the one voted out instead of the werewolf.
Then Wang Changsheng would really cry his eyes out in the bathroom.
[Player 4, please begin your speech]
After Honey Badger passed the mic.
Player 4 immediately sat up straight.
He held a Hunter Role.
After getting a God Role, he really wanted to lead the Good Guys to victory.
This was the natural sense of mission for someone with the Gun card.
So as soon as it was his turn to speak, Player 4 couldn't wait to start: "I don't need to say who the Seer is, right? Basically everyone in the earlier positions has commented on it; Player 10 can only be the Seer."
"So, based on Player 10 being the Seer, I actually don't think there's any major problem with Player 7's speech."
"Player 1 Witch already voted for Player 3. If Player 9 were a wolf, regardless of how many wolves were under the sheriff, it's almost impossible for Player 3 to have gotten the sheriff badge. So why would Player 9 give him a vote and make himself a focal point?"
"Player 7 was able to protect Player 9, so I don't think Player 7 has any major issues. As for this Player 6 card..."
Player 4 paused and clicked his tongue: "To be honest, I really couldn't tell. How should I describe her speech... it just feels a bit strange, hard to evaluate. I'll leave it to you, Player 10, to judge. Anyway, isn't she your first badge flow? It's none of my business."
After finishing his sentence, Player 4's gaze fell on Player 5 beside him.
As a Hunter Role, after listening to Player 5's speech just now.
He indeed had a feeling that the other person might have also received a God Card.
However, the other person's thoughts were different from his own.
This made it difficult for him to make a decision.
After thinking about it, Player 4 felt that he hadn't really heard anyone in the earlier positions who could be the Guard.
So from his position, he didn't intend to make a move against Player 5.
Instead.
Player 4's gaze shifted to Player 8.
"I think Player 9 might be a Good Guy, and Player 8 attacked Player 9 and even wants to exile Player 9 this turn. I don't think his identity is very good."
