Ban walked up to you, looking down at you: "You're too trusting of others." His tone seemed to carry a hint of indulgence.
Deidara leaned closer: "You wicked woman! My Guardian skill works well, right? Hmm! I'll give you a miracle next time!"
Itachi said casually, "Not bad." It was unclear whether he was referring to the Wolves' teamwork or to you.
[Apologetic Relationship in Danger] - Werewolf: Hunting the Sun and Chasing the Light
"Round 3, Pattern: Twelve-Man Hunter of the Sun and Light"
配置:蚀日侍女×1、狼人×3、平民×4、流光伯爵×1、女巫×1、预言家×1、摄梦人×1.
Xiao Nan's cool voice reiterated the rules: "The Eclipse Maid is a wolf that you will never meet. She will be bound to one person on the first night and her skills can be exchanged. The maid must judge her wolf teammates herself. Earl of Flowing Light will protect one person each night and make them immune to nighttime skills."
After the cards were distributed, everyone's expression was inscrutable.
"Eclipse Maid, please open your eyes."
You open your eyes, it's Big Wolf! You need to choose a binder immediately. Your gaze quickly sweeps across the entire room, Uchiha Madara? His aura is too strong, he's likely to become the center of attention.
Itachi? Too calm and unpredictable. Shisui? Unfathomable. Yahiko? ...His eyes are too direct, easily revealing his true nature.
Ultimately, you pointed to Scorpion! He's a powerhouse, usually surviving well into the later stages of the game, and emotionally stable—an ideal skill set.
Nagato nodded in confirmation.
"Eclipse Maid, please close your eyes." You close your eyes, your mind racing with plans.
"Werewolf, please open your eyes."
Those who opened their eyes were: Rin, Kakuzu, and Hidan.
The three wolves stared at each other. Lin, feeling like she was the leader, pointed at Yahiko without hesitation, eliminating any obvious threats who were leaning towards her, lowering her status, and testing the waters.
"Werewolf, please close your eyes."
"Prophet, please open your eyes."
Sasori (the true prophet) opened his eyes. He calmly pointed at Deidara, and Nagato gave a "good guy" gesture, which Sasori noted down.
"Prophet, please close your eyes."
"Witch, please open your eyes."
Shisui (the witch) opened his eyes and saw Yahiko being stabbed. He stroked his chin and revealed a playful smile. To save him or not to save him? He chose not to save him.
"Witch, please close your eyes."
"Count Flowing Light, please open your eyes."
Madara Uchiha opened his eyes and made the decision to protect you almost instantly, without needing a reason.
"Count Flowing Light, please close your eyes."
"Dream hunter, please open your eyes."
Itachi (the Dream Seer) opened his eyes. He remained silent for a moment before choosing to dream of Madara Uchiha.
"Dream hunter, please close your eyes."
"Its daybreak."
Nagato: "Yahiko died last night, without leaving any last words."
Sheriff election process.
The Scorpion (the Seer) leaps up: "Seer, last night Chadidara was a good man." (Reporting a golden water)
Deidara (the civilian) immediately became smug: "Hmm! See? I'm a good person! Art is justice! Hmm!"
Hidan (the werewolf) shouts: "Scorpion is fake! Hmm! I'm the seer! I checked... I checked and all the horns are good people!" (He randomly gives out "good" answers to identify himself)
Kakuzu (the werewolf) calmly replied, "Logically speaking, although Hidan's speech is poor, he doesn't seem like a werewolf. I'll trust him for now." (He then subtly shifts the blame to his teammate.)
Lin (the werewolf) said softly, "It's so confusing. I don't think Mr. Scorpion is lying."
Shisui (the witch) smiled and said, "Yahiko was defeated on the first night. I'm beyond saving him. I think the Seer might still be down there." (Stirring up trouble)
You try to remain calm: "I think Sasori's speech was the best, Deidara is a confirmed case, and Hidan and Kakuzu's speeches were a bit strange." (Softly siding with the true seer, identifying a werewolf teammate as an identity)
Itachi (the Dream Weaver) succinctly stated: "Nobunaga." (Stands aside)
Ultimately, the badge fell on Scorpion.
On the first day of the exile vote, thanks to your subtle instigation and the guidance of the true prophet, Hidan was successfully voted out!
Hidan yelled, "The Jashin will punish you! Ugh!!"
The werewolves (Lin and Kakuzu) open their eyes. They decide to kill the true seer, Scorpion!
"Werewolf, please close your eyes."
"Witch, please open your eyes."
When Shisui saw Sasori being stabbed, his smile deepened. He chose to use poison! He poisoned Deidara! His reason? He loved watching the drama unfold.
"Witch, please close your eyes."
"Eclipse Maid, please open your eyes."
When you open your eyes, you can choose to swap the skills of the player you are bound to (Scorpion).
But they didn't know Scorpion's identity! They risked exchanging items to find out Scorpion's abilities! The result was the Seer's investigation; they immediately chose to investigate Rin, and Nagato gave the werewolf hand signal!
Lin is the werewolf's teammate! You've found her!
"Eclipse Maid, please close your eyes."
"Count Flowing Light, please open your eyes."
Ban will protect you once again.
"Count Flowing Light, please close your eyes."
"Dream Seer, please close your eyes." (Operation Itachi)
"Its daybreak."
Nagato: "Last night, Sasori and Deidara died."
Deidara: "My art! Hmm!"
A tense daytime speech.
Kakuzu (the werewolf) spoke first, trying to set the tone: "It seems the witch poisoned the wrong person, and now the seer is dead too. I suspect that Zhishui is the werewolf witch who poisoned people randomly! Or Miss Lin has always been suspicious." (Using his teammate as a scapegoat)
Lin (the werewolf) immediately looked at you with teary eyes: "Mr. Kakuzu, how could you do this... Lord Tanuki, I've always believed in you... Look at him..." (gaining sympathy and hinting at cooperation)
Zhi Shui (the witch) smiled and said, "Oh? Did you poison the wrong person? I think the wolf pit seems a bit too obvious." (Pointing out)
Madara (Count of Light): "Kakuzu, are you stirring things up?" (Applying pressure)
Your mind races, and the opportunity has arrived! Your expression turns serious and sincere: "Wait a minute, I actually used a skill last night." (You can't reveal your identity as a maid, so you have to make it up.) "I checked people!" (Pretending to be a prophet.)
Everyone looked at you in surprise.
Continue, looking directly at Lin, and say something with a hidden meaning: "I checked Lin, she's a good person!" (Deliberately giving false information to protect your werewolf teammate and pass on a message)
"I believe her! Kakuzu, you've been attacking Rin, which is very suspicious! And Shisui poisoned Deidara, which is also a bad thing!" (Shifting the blame to Kakuzu and Shisui)
Lin instantly received the signal! She looked at you, her eyes lighting up, and immediately replied, "Thank you for trusting me, Lord Tanuki!" (Alliance confirmed)
Itachi (the Dream Seer) frowned slightly as he looked at you, seemingly analyzing the situation.
During the voting process, thanks to your and Lin's "double wolf teamwork," Ban's pressure, and Shisui Lezi's observation, Kakuzu was successfully voted out!
As Kakuzu left, he looked at Rin and Tanuki and said, "...Trying to scheme against me? What a losing proposition!"
Only Lin, the little wolf, and you, the big wolf, are left.
The werewolf opens his eyes, and Lin looks at you (though you don't see each other, you understand each other). Who should you kill? You decide to kill Shisui (the witch), who is most likely to lead the group!
"Werewolf, please close your eyes."
"Eclipse Maid, please open your eyes."
You chose to exchange skills—this time you got an unknown skill.
"Eclipse Maid, please close your eyes."
"Count Flowing Light, please open your eyes."
The spots will still protect you.
"Count Flowing Light, please close your eyes."
"Dream hunter, please open your eyes."
Itachi chose to dream about you; he wanted to know what you were doing.
"Dream hunter, please close your eyes."
"Its daybreak."
Nagato: "Last night, Shisui died, and Tanuki was haunted by a dream."
You were startled – you'd been dreamt about! But since you're the Eclipse Maid, being dreamt about might not matter, right? (The rules assume no impact.)
Currently alive: Madara, Rin, you, Itachi.
Final round of speeches!
Lin (the werewolf) immediately puts on a show: "Oh my god! Mr. Shisui is dead! The last werewolf must be... between Mr. Itachi and Mr. Madara!" (attempting to push the god card)
Itachi's gaze sharpened as he looked at you: "Tanuki, you said last night you examined people? What exactly is your identity? Being caught in a dream doesn't seem to have affected you." (Suspicious)
You remained calm under pressure, your mind racing. She looked at Itachi, her eyes carrying a perfectly balanced mix of grievance and determination: "Itachi, you doubt me? I'm not actually a prophet. I have a special identity card that allows me to know some information... but I can't go into details."
"I firmly believe Rin is a good person! The last wolf is either Madara (although he protected me, he might be a double agent), or..." You look at Itachi, "...it's you! The Dream Weaver, always so discreet, isn't it?" (Turning the tables, a final, decisive attack!)
Lin immediately chimed in, "Yes! Mr. Itachi has been speaking very little! It's suspicious!"
Ban looked at you with a complicated expression, but still said, "I believe you."
Itachi watched your superb performance and remained silent for a moment.
Final vote! With Rin and you working together, plus Madara's vote, we successfully eliminated Itachi!
As Itachi left, his expression was ambiguous, seemingly containing surprise, and perhaps a hint of...admiration?
Game over, the werewolf team wins!
Nagato announced: "The werewolf faction has won. Survivors: Uchiha Madara (Count Ryuko), Tanuki (Eclipse Maiden), and Rin (Werewolf)."
Walking a tightrope, you manipulate everyone's emotional biases to win this round of the game, such as Madara's unconditional favoritism, Yahiko's trust, Itachi's soft heart...
Chapter 223 Orphan
You struggle to wake up once again from a dream of drowning.
In the darkness, unable to open my eyes, I felt as if I were being entangled by invisible seaweed and dragged toward the abyss. The deep male voice still echoed in my ears, lingering like a curse.
"Anagi, you are clearly mine, why would you fall in love with someone else?"
The voice held a heartbreaking pain, yet also an undeniable possessiveness.
You can feel an indescribable intimacy between yourself and the speaker. Whenever you hear this voice, your heart aches inexplicably, as if it is being tightly gripped by an invisible hand.
"In that case, never leave my side."
The sound gradually faded away, leaving behind an even deeper darkness and a suffocating feeling. You suddenly sat up, your forehead soaked with cold sweat.
Outside the window, the first rays of dawn had just begun to pierce into the orphanage's simple room, casting a gray hue over everything.
You sit quietly on the edge of the bed, your dark eyes appearing even more profound in the dim light. They are eyes that don't belong to your age; they are too calm, too deep, as if they can devour all light and secrets.
In the courtyard of the Konoha Orphanage, Kabuto Yakushi stood under the old locust tree, clutching a rice ball wrapped in a clean cloth tightly in his hand.
"Dou? What are you doing here?" The vice dean's voice came from behind, tinged with obvious surprise.
He turned around, smiled politely, and said, "I'm waiting for Nagi-chan. There's a spring outing in a few days, and I wanted to invite her to be my partner in advance." He held up the rice ball in his hand, "This was made by the headmistress this morning, and I wanted to share it with her."
The vice-director frowned, his wrinkles deepening with worry. "Kabuto, it's not that I'm being nosy, but didn't Director Nonou warn you? That girl is a taboo subject in the orphanage."
That same question again. Dou subconsciously pinched his pale fingertips and softly asked, "But... what is the definition of taboo?"
