Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

[——That day, people found the body of Ai-chan, the most beautiful girl in the village, outside the village]

(Jiang Ming: Even more shameless than me...)

Against the backdrop of intermittent thunder, the image of Cabbage Head projected on the mobile phone conveyed these words in a heavy voice.

[Ai-chan's body was badly damaged. Such cruel behavior could only be attributed to an inhuman being. The huge scratches, deep teeth marks, and the smell of wild animals all around - all of these things pointed to the fact that a werewolf had sneaked into this peaceful village! ]

In this quiet environment, you can clearly hear someone swallowing.

Perhaps it was because of the tense atmosphere that my throat became dry.

Or maybe it's to suppress the cold sweat that's about to break out.

[That’s right, you must find the werewolf that has infiltrated the villagers, even if you accidentally strangle your companions in the process. Otherwise, the person who dies the next morning may be you——!!!]

At this moment, a bolt of lightning struck at the perfect moment, illuminating the faces of the girls gathered in the dark room.

"...!"

Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.

If you ask why, it is because for a moment, they seemed to see the outline of a wolf among the shadows of the crowd!

......

Of course, although the beginning is a bit scary, the actual situation is not that serious and no one dies. Let's go back to the time when everyone returns to the student dormitory.

After returning to St. Freya Academy, everyone held another banquet to celebrate Jiang Ming's victory.

After eating and drinking, everyone was still a little unsatisfied, so they suggested playing games. When everyone was thinking about what game to play, Kiana took out a set of Werewolf from somewhere.

"Hey, Auntie, what is this?"

"Hmm? Let me see. Let me see."

Theresa took the card from Kiana.

"Oh, this is called Werewolf."

"Werewolf?!"

Kiana shuddered with fear. She had also seen many movies with werewolves as the theme. The ferocious images of werewolves in those movies were indeed somewhat scary. However, if a werewolf really appeared in front of Kiana, firstly, it would not be able to run away from her, and secondly, it would probably be kicked by Kiana and its bones would be broken...

"Kiana-san, Werewolf isn't such a scary game."

Fu Hua stepped forward to explain for her.

"To put it bluntly, it's all about hiding one's identity. As long as we kill the werewolves who sneaked into the villagers, the villagers win. And if the werewolves kill all the villagers, then the werewolves win."

"Oh? Werewolf... It's indeed a very interesting game, and it fits the current situation very well."

As she spoke, Ji Zi turned her gaze outside the house. Yes, it had been drizzling outside since she didn't know when, and the sky had already become completely dark. If she turned off the lights now, I'm afraid no one would be able to see each other.

After listening to Fu Hua's introduction, Lin, who had also never played Werewolf, asked in confusion.

"Such a terrifying werewolf must be stronger than the villagers. How can the villagers defeat the werewolf?"

"This game is divided into two stages: day and night. Werewolves can only act at night, so only one villager will be attacked by a werewolf every night. However, werewolves are no different from ordinary people during the day, so the villagers must use the daytime to identify the werewolves and strangle them all."

"Strangulation?!"

Lin was shocked when he heard that.

"It's not really strangulation..."

Jiang Ming comforted her with a wry smile. After listening, Theresa began to summarize.

"So, although the villagers have to kill the werewolves, they don't know who the werewolves are, so they will make misjudgments and end up strangling their companions. But if they don't do this, they will be killed by the werewolves sooner or later. So although the subject matter is quite scary, it is still very interesting."

"So... Kiana, you want to play this game?"

Jiang Ming looked at the Werewolf in Theresa's hand and found that this version was similar to the one he had played before, and it was a very ordinary version.

"Well, let's try it."

Kiana nodded.

"Okay, let me tell you the rules of the game."

Theresa announced the rules of the game like an adult.

"In the game Werewolf, there are all kinds of professions. Different professions have different roles. First of all, there is the most common [Villager]."

Theresa showed everyone a villager card with strange painting style.

"[Villagers] have the largest number of people, but they don't have any special abilities. Their mission is to use their wisdom to get rid of the werewolves."

Then, Theresa placed a card with a picture of a wolf on the table.

"Next are the Werewolves. They will attack a villager at night, and during the day, in order to avoid being exposed, they must pretend to be harmless villagers. There are nine of us in total."

"Ten!"

The small scarlet jade pill appeared again.

"Haha, there are ten people, and there can be three werewolves in a game. If all three werewolves die, it means the villagers win, otherwise it means the werewolves win."

Then, Theresa placed a few new cards next to it.

"These three cards are crucial to the villagers' victory."

"The prophet can specify a person every night or know who the person is, so if a werewolf is discovered, the situation will greatly favor the villagers."

“The character [Witch] has a bottle of healing potion and a bottle of poison. If someone dies, you can choose whether to use the healing potion to treat them. You can also use poison to kill someone.”

"The Hunter character is similar to the Villager, but if this character is assassinated, you can shoot and take away the other person. However, if the person is taken away by the witch's poison, you cannot shoot."

"That's all the rules. From now on, just close your eyes when it gets dark and open them when it gets light."

"So if there are ten people... three werewolves, four villagers, a hunter, a witch, and a prophet."

Theresa said as she drew out ten cards.

"Wait a moment."

Jiang Ming suddenly raised his hand.

“Who will be the referee?”

Everyone: "..."

Jiang Ming: "......"

"I have a solution!"

Theresa felt a little embarrassed and quickly thought of someone. She placed her cell phone flat on the table.

"Ai-chan."

"Roger that!"

A character with a cabbage head image appeared in front of everyone through the projection of Theresa's smartphone. Yes, this was Hyperion's intelligent AI: Ai Hyperion, or Ai-chan for short.

"Let me be the referee."

Ai-chan said while striking a cute pose.

"Okay, then let's just have some fun first."

Rather than just studying the rules, it's better for everyone to play together and master the game faster, Jiang Ming suggested to everyone.

And then there's...

"Ah."

"it is good."

"no comment."

Answers like that.

[Okay, then Jiang Ming, please distribute the cards to everyone.]

Ai-chan took the lead and gave the order.

"okay."

Jiang Ming shuffled the cards as instructed and assigned a card to each person.

I looked at my card: Hmm... it's [Werewolf]

In this way, in the village where werewolves were lurking, everyone gradually welcomed the first dark night.

.................................................

"Ai-chan aa ...

"How could this happen? Ai-chan was actually...!"

"No, are you ashamed to say that you are the most beautiful girl in the village?"

When the villagers heard Ai-chan's explanation, they couldn't help but scream (complain).

[The death of the lovely Ai-chan has plunged the whole village into an inextricable sadness, but it is useless to be sad blindly. You should know that there are three werewolves lurking among you. Please find the suspicious ones and strangle them.]

[Please close your eyes when it gets dark]

Following Ai-chan's instructions, everyone closed their eyes.

"——Please open your eyes at dawn. Unfortunately, we found the body of Fu Hua who died at the hands of a werewolf outside the village."

"?!"

Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that our representative of wisdom, Fu Hua, would be eliminated on the first night. This werewolf is really abominable!!!

"Really? What a shame."

Fu Hua didn't seem very sad.

"Although I'm out, I will pray that everyone can successfully hunt down all the werewolves and let the village return to peace."

After placing the cards in his hand on the table, he leaned back on the sofa.

Jiang Ming looked around expressionlessly.

That's right, it was Jiang Ming who led the other two werewolves to kill Fu Hua. As for why? Please, others may not know, but how could I not know? She is Watson. If she is not killed, maybe all the werewolves will be wiped out by her in a few rounds. So there is no other way. Since she is not a werewolf, she can only be sent to heaven.

"I didn't expect Fu Hua to be the first to lose."

"very scary......"

"All right."

Sakura patted her sister's head.

"Jiang Ming will definitely protect us."

"?"

"Oh yes, I will definitely protect you all."

No, no, you must not laugh at this time.

[Next, please select the person who will be eliminated today and start the discussion]

As Ai-chan finished speaking, a countdown began.

"How can we live without Fu Hua?!"

Theresa was the first to wail.

"Don't be nervous, Dean."

Jiang Ming was the first to think calmly.

"Although Fu Hua is out, you still have me!!"

"That's right, Jiang Ming, do you have any ideas?"

"Um......"

Jiang Ming answered after a brief thought.

"By the way, isn't there a prophet? If possible, could you please identify yourself and provide us with some useful information? This would be very helpful to us."

After saying that, Jiang Ming also showed some cold sweat. After all, if the prophet predicted him first, he would basically be finished.

"that......"

Hiyumaru raised her little hand.

"I am a prophet."

"Oh? Whose message did you read last night, Higyokumaru?"

Jiang Ming's heart skipped a beat. He was very afraid that Fei Yuwan would directly predict his elder brother.

"The one I predicted was Rin. Her identity is a witch."

"Oh, I see..."

Jiang Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

Very good, I’ll deal with you in the next round!

"I'm a hunter."
