Chapter 46: The Shura Begins with Werewolf (2)
Ji Ning was so happy her eyes grew a little moist. She couldn't help but lean forward and kiss Xing Ye's cheek.
With his eyes closed, he still looked a bit unapproachable. Ji Ning felt like she was petting a sleeping lion's fur.
She hadn't forgotten about the game. After composing her joy at their reunion, she immediately unfastened Xing Ye's pants.
Since the rescue target was Xing Ye, Ji Ning felt no burden at all.
She crouched between Xing Ye's legs, guiding his rock-hard cock out through the opening of his underwear.
The deep pink shaft was almost too thick for one hand to hold, the veins bulging just right. The glans was smooth and perfectly shaped—in Ji Ning's opinion, the most beautiful cock she had ever seen.
She gazed at it with a hint of infatuation for a moment, then gently took it into her mouth and sucked.
The shaft was very clean. Its hot, fleshy sensation seemed to possess a deadly allure.
【Detoxification Complete】
When the announcement sounded, Ji Ning even felt she hadn't had enough. She released the shaft, tucked it back in, dressed Xing Ye just like the first time, and was then sent back to her seat by the system.
She hadn't felt it before, but once back in her seat, Ji Ning actually felt a small flutter of nervousness about their reunion after daybreak.
【Day Has Broken】
The darkness receded, and the players' true appearances were revealed. Everyone began scanning the players in the game to see who was there.
Ji Ning's gaze was fixed unwaveringly on seat number 12 across from her. She saw that the first person Xing Ye looked at was also her, and upon realizing it was her, his indifferent gaze gradually lit up, the slight upward curve of his lips utterly captivating.
They gazed at each other for a very long time. If the Sheriff election hadn't started, they wouldn't have looked away.
It was only then that Ji Ning had a moment to survey the situation at the table.
This glance brought her a shock no less stunning than discovering number 12 was Xing Ye.
Because sitting right next to Xing Ye at seat number 1 was Jiang Ting, whom she had just cooperated with in the last instance! And the number 7 beside her was yet another acquaintance—Song Weiyang!
It felt as unbelievable as hitting the jackpot three times in a row.
Song Weiyang's smile as he looked at her was slightly teasing, as if dissatisfied that she had been staring at Xing Ye the whole time without sparing him a glance.
And Jiang Ting... his expression seemed even darker than when they first met.
With three handsome men like Xing Ye, Song Weiyang, and Jiang Ting at the table, the overall quality of the male players had been dramatically elevated.
Overwhelmed by a tremendous, unexpected joy, Ji Ning tremblingly pressed the button to run for Sheriff.
(The Sheriff holds the Badge, has the right to consolidate votes, and their vote counts as 1.5 votes) (Running for Sheriff does not necessarily mean competing for Sheriff; it can just be to speak on the ballot.)
During this interval, Ji Ning swept her gaze around the table. She realized that the player composition this time was different from her previous three games.
Of the 12 players, only 3 were female; the rest were male.
Ji Ning couldn't help but speculate: did this mean there was no need for one-to-one pairing in this Survival Game?
After the Sheriff election selection ended, the chair backs of eight players lit up. The number of people running for Sheriff was unprecedentedly high: numbers 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 11, and 12.
【Speaking will begin randomly with Player 12. Player 1, please prepare.】
After the announcement stated the cautionary rules, the countdown for the Sheriff ballot speeches began.
This was a White Wolf King-Guard board. The Power Roles were: Seer, Witch, Guard, and Hunter.
The Wolf Team consisted of three Wolf cards plus one White Wolf King card. When the White Wolf King self-destructed, they could take one player on the board with them.
Xing Ye was the first to speak. His gaze remained fixed on Ji Ning, his tone light and casual: "Not the Seer. I'm on the ballot to comment. Eight people on the ballot means there may be many wolves among them. As the first speaker, I have nothing much to say. Over."
Ji Ning was almost getting embarrassed under Xing Ye's stare. She lowered her head and pursed her lips in a smile.
Jiang Ting noticed this subtle flirtation. Beneath his calm expression, a shadow flickered in his eyes.
"I am the Seer. Last night I checked number 6. She is my Gold Water. I checked 6 specifically aiming for a Gold Water result. No particular reason. My Badge Stream will be 3 first, then 7. If 7 counterclaims, it will be changed to 8."
Hearing Jiang Ting's icy voice, Ji Ning looked at him and met his gaze.
Jiang Ting's coldness was not the same as Xing Ye's. Xing Ye's was a calm born of complex experiences, while Jiang Ting's was an indifference that cared nothing for anything. The former inspired awe; the latter invoked terror.
Even though they had grown somewhat familiar during their second intimacy and parting in the Madhouse, now it felt like they had regressed again.
Ji Ning sensed that Jiang Ting was not in a good mood.
What she actually failed to notice was that Jiang Ting had also looked first at seat number 6. The moment he saw it was her, a sudden warmth had lit up his icy eyes.
However, as Ji Ning's gaze lingered on Xing Ye longer and longer, not even noticing him sitting right beside Xing Ye, that warmth gradually faded away.
After number 1 Jiang Ting spoke, the male player number 2 commented that number 1's perspective was incomplete and didn't quite seem like a Seer. Also, giving Gold Water to someone on the ballot didn't look like a role-check ploy. He said he wanted to hear the later Seer claims.
Following that, player number 4 said he couldn't read number 1, that number 2's speech was okay, and then briefly ended his speech.
Next it was number 6 Ji Ning's turn.
Ji Ning spoke slowly: "I don't know if player number 1 is the real Seer, but I truly have a good role. I am the Witch card. Player number 12 is my Silver Water. I saved him."
Saying this, Ji Ning glanced shyly at Xing Ye, noticing he was smiling too. He probably knew she had taken his cock into her mouth.
Ji Ning composed herself and continued: "I still have one poison vial to confirm my identity. Now that I have claimed openly, please, the other two Power Roles, stay hidden. Also, I might use the poison on the second night. If I die tonight, please factor this into your reasoning, players."
The next speaker was number 7 Song Weiyang.
Ji Ning looked at him. The two shared a smile, completely without awkwardness, their rapport as seamless as it had been in the AV Star Factory.
A smile had been playing on Song Weiyang's lips, clearly thrilled to have finally run into his precious baby. But when he opened his mouth to speak, though still smiling, his momentum was considerable.
"Number 1, Big Boss, what a coincidence. I am also the Seer. I also checked number 6 last night. She is my Gold Water. With number 1 being a Hard Claiming wolf, my Badge Stream will be 8 first, then 11. Both are on the ballot. Players off the ballot, you will all cast your votes for number 6. Let number 6 take the Sheriff Badge, because she is Double Gold Water, understood? Anyone not voting for 6 will be considered a wolf. I find number 2's speech strange, like a Deep Cover wolf, but we'll keep him around for two more rounds. More discussion off the ballot."
Ji Ning hadn't expected the situation to get this exciting.
Both Jiang Ting and Song Weiyang had claimed Seer, both saying they had checked her and found her good, giving her Gold Water status.
She looked at Jiang Ting, then at Song Weiyang. Neither of them seemed to be lying.
Ji Ning didn't think Xing Ye would use such a dirty play as Self-Kill wolf. She was certain he was good, so she cast a pleading glance at Xing Ye.
But Xing Ye seemed completely unconcerned about the game. The complicated situation didn't faze him; his expression and posture were relaxed, as if the only thing worth his attention was Ji Ning.
The later speakers, number 8 and number 11, didn't say anything particularly explosive. The round moved to the vote for Sheriff.
Because Ji Ning was Double Gold Water, and because of Song Weiyang's speech, in the end, all four off-ballot players who hadn't run for Sheriff cast their votes for Ji Ning.
【The Sheriff Vote has ended. Congratulations to Player 6 for becoming Sheriff.】
After becoming Sheriff, Ji Ning had to decide the speaking order. If she chose reverse order, it would start from number 5 and soon reach number 1 Jiang Ting, making number 7 Song Weiyang the last to speak.
Conversely, Song Weiyang would speak first, and Jiang Ting would speak later.
In Werewolf, especially in highly scrutinized focal positions, speaking later is more advantageous.
"Both are equally dear to me." Who to give this convenience to—Ji Ning began to get a headache.
