Chapter 47: The Shura Begins with Werewolf (3)
After much deliberation, Ji Ning only pressed the button for the speaking order right before the selection time ran out.
【The Sheriff has chosen reverse speaking order. Player No. 5 begins speaking. Player No. 4, please prepare.】
Choosing reverse order meant Jiang Ting was fifth, which wasn't particularly early. Ji Ning consoled herself with this thought.
To be honest, she couldn't quite tell which of the two, Jiang Ting or Song Weiyang, was the real Seer. After all, it was possible that either of them could have investigated her, and neither of their speeches had any logical inconsistencies.
If she absolutely had to choose one, Ji Ning was more inclined to believe Song Weiyang, because his demeanor was exactly the same as when he drew the Seer card in the last Werewolf game.
But for now, Ji Ning still needed to hear more to be able to tell them apart.
However, from the perspective of the other players, that wasn't the case.
Player No. 5 spoke: "No. 6 chose reverse speaking order, so she probably believes that No. 7 is the real Seer, right? Seeing things clearly from my own Role Card, if 5, 6, and 7 are three consecutive Townies, then 4 and 8 might be Wolves. No. 8's speech while On the Sheriff Ballot leaned towards No. 1, and he's also in No. 7's Badge Stream. I think it's fine to either banish or investigate him, no problem. This is a White Wolf King setup, and usually the White Wolf King is the one to Claim Out, so No. 1 might be that White Wolf King. If he doesn't Self-Destruct, I think we can deal with him at night."
Ji Ning: I'm not, I didn't.
After No. 5 said this, Ji Ning looked towards Jiang Ting. He sat ramrod straight, his brows and eyes lowered. Even though his face showed no emotion whatsoever, he still had an aura of a "Big Boss unimpressed by a subordinate's report during a meeting."
The subsequent speakers, No. 4, No. 3, and No. 2, all based their speeches on the premise that "Ji Ning believes No. 7 is the Seer." Only No. 3 thought Jiang Ting was the real Seer.
When it was Jiang Ting's turn to speak, he was still just as calm.
"A real Seer should do everything to win the Sheriff Badge, not hand the badge to a role without investigative power, even if it's a double Gold Water Witch.
If the Guard doesn't validate you, a Seer without the Sheriff Badge is fighting 1 against 11. The Werewolf Faction has a team, and there's a White Wolf King who can contest the turn order. Given this round's situation, the White Wolf King won't Self-Destruct. If we banish the wrong person, and the Wolves compete with the Guard at night to make the Guard protect the wrong person, the Town Faction is very likely to lose. No. 6 doesn't believe me, that's fine. You must use that bottle of poison to fight for a turn for the Town. My Wolf Pool consists of No. 2 and No. 7, with two Wolves among 8, 9, and 11. Tonight, I'll investigate 9."
After Jiang Ting finished his speech, many players' expressions turned hesitant. His mindset was just too similar to that of a real Seer.
Next up was Player No. 12, Xing Ye, to speak.
Xing Ye rested his arm on the armrest, his long, slender fingers propping up the side of his forehead, his posture very relaxed.
"I think there's no problem with the Sheriff Badge going to No. 6. The badge is clean and saves a lot of trouble. I believe No. 6, the Witch, has her own judgment and can lead the Town to victory. As for telling the two Seers apart, we look at the votes and see who's the Kill Target. If that really doesn't work, we can just not want either of them, taking a steady elimination of one Power Role and one Wolf. For the remaining players, a pure logic elimination works too, we won't lose."
Xing Ye's speech was very bold. His meaning seemed to be that he didn't want either Seer.
Hearing this, Jiang Ting and Song Weiyang's expressions were not very good.
Ji Ning shifted her gaze, looking at one and then the other, and suddenly felt an atmosphere floating in the air that was detached from the game itself.
These three men were all her former partners. She had been intimate with them, and they had gotten along well.
Even though she was somewhat estranged from Jiang Ting, he was still very important to her because he had helped her so much.
But now, Jiang Ting and Song Weiyang were the opposing true and false Seers, and Xing Ye only cared about her, paying no attention to the other two men at all.
The three men were all at odds with each other.
The situation was tense, and Ji Ning was in a very difficult position.
The turn to speak came to Song Weiyang. He leaned back in his chair with his arms crossed, the dimples at the side of his mouth gone. "In that case, let's all commit. If you believe me, vote for No. 1. If you believe No. 1, vote for me. Don't banish from an external position, to avoid mistakenly banishing a Townie. There's always a 50% chance of banishing correctly, right? The one who stays, if they don't die at night, will be poisoned or publicly banished. Let's just do what No. 12 said. However, this Silver Water, No. 12, I'm not sure if there's a problem now. I'm talking to No. 6: if you feel you can trust him, I'll go investigate No. 3. If you don't trust him, I'll investigate No. 12."
The speaking order went full circle and returned to Ji Ning's position.
Judging by the current situation, more people on the field believed No. 7 Song Weiyang. A Wolf Hard Claiming to be the Seer has the support of his wolf teammates, but a real Seer has no team. Therefore, a Seer who is supported by many is often a wolf doing a Hard Claim.
However, in a White Wolf King setup, since the White Wolf King ultimately has to Self-Destruct and take someone down with them, Wolves will employ Deep Cover strategies and side with the real Seer.
Werewolf was exactly this kind of game where you had to constantly think through dual-sided logic.
Ji Ning spoke slowly: "I believe my Silver Water is good silver. No need to investigate him. As for who to banish, I suggest we keep both Seers around for now and banish from an external position. There were eight people On the Sheriff Ballot, which means many Wolves, so banishing from the Sheriff ballot is more reliable. Aside from No. 1, No. 6, No. 7, and No. 12, the others On the Sheriff Ballot were No. 2, No. 4, No. 8, and No. 11. Among these four, I think No. 11 was the most unhelpful. No. 11 spoke in a later position On the Sheriff Ballot, yet with two Seers having spoken before him, he still made an unhelpful speech, which is very suspicious. I'll use my poison tonight. I still need to think about who to poison. If I die, the Sheriff Badge will fly to No. 12."
【The first round of speeches has ended. The banishment vote now begins.】
With the announcement, the numbered buttons for the banishment vote appeared in front of each person, with a ten-second time limit.
Banishment vote results:
Votes for No. 11: 3, 4, 6, 12
Votes for No. 1: 2, 5, 7, 11
Votes for No. 7: 1, 8, 10
Abstained: 9
Since the Sheriff's vote counted as 1.5 votes, No. 11 was banished.
After No. 11 delivered their final words, the female voice announced, 【Night falls. Close your eyes.】
After seeing the results of the votes, Ji Ning's heart grew more and more confused. If she hadn't consolidated the vote onto No. 11, Jiang Ting might have been voted out and banished.
In this light, Jiang Ting had no team.
But there was one sentence Jiang Ting had said during his speech that Ji Ning couldn't let go of.
He said, "No. 6 doesn't believe me, that's fine. You must use that bottle of poison to fight for a turn for the Town."
This didn't sound like something Jiang Ting would say.
If Jiang Ting was the real Seer and saw that Ji Ning might not believe him, making him speak first, he definitely wouldn't just let Ji Ning continue to not believe him.
If it were Xing Ye or Song Weiyang who said this, Ji Ning wouldn't have given it so much thought. But it just had to be Jiang Ting…
Knowing Jiang Ting's style of doing things, this sentence felt more like a way of conveying something to Ji Ning.
Ji Ning closed her eyes, her heartbeat quickening. She seemed to have caught onto a very crucial piece of information.
"Doesn't believe me, that's fine"
Could it be, could it be that Jiang Ting was really a Wolf?
【Witch, please open your eyes. You have one poison. Do you wish to use it?】
The cold female voice announced. It was Ji Ning, the Witch's turn to work at night.
