Apocalypse: I'm the Landlady of the Refuge

Chapter 66: Chapter 66: When Darkness Falls, Close Your Eyes

Scorpion instantly became furiously embarrassed and hammered the conference table forcefully.

Phoenix ignored Scorpion, raised a hand, and snapped his fingers. A waiter entered from outside, holding a tray with an Identity Card on it.

Looking at the Identity Card, Ji Wanwan’s brow slightly furrowed.

There were three wolves in the field, and at best, three people would need to be eliminated before the game could end.

But how could wolves simply sit and wait for their end?

So of the ten people present, at least half would be eliminated. If things turned out worse, only two or three might remain.

Phoenix shuffled the Identity Cards in his hands, “Each identity has its unique ability. After everyone draws their Identity Card, I will explain the detailed rules.”

After finishing, he spread the cards out on the tray and pushed it toward the center of the table, “Now, let’s start with Miss Green Snake drawing the Identity Card.”

When it was Ji Wanwan’s turn, she picked up the Identity Card, glanced at it quickly, and then covered it on the table.

Just a hurried look, and her heart sank.

She couldn’t believe she was a villager with no abilities whatsoever.

She had thought that having been reborn, she’d at least carry some luck on her, but it seemed she was expecting too much.

Just then, the system’s notification sound rang out.

[Beep——]

[New Task: Survive until the end of the game]

[Task Completion Time: Before the end of the game]

[Task Completion Reward: Randomly awaken one superpower; the Host may choose to increase any four physical abilities by 20 points]

As the system issued the task, everyone had received their identity.

Subtle changes arose in everyone’s eyes; invisible defenses and suspicions began to spread throughout the small conference room.

Initially strangers to one another, as soon as they picked up the Identity Cards, even those who once trusted each other might become enemies.

If you want to survive, you have to be wary of everyone here because fate won’t give you a second chance.

Phoenix retrieved the tray, “Next, I will explain the detailed game rules. Please listen carefully, I will only say them once.

First up are the werewolves.

The werewolves can choose someone to kill each night, including themselves. Among the three wolves, there is a Black Wolf King, who can choose to commit suicide during the daytime and take any player with them.

Then there’s the Prophet.

Every night, the Prophet can verify the identity of any player and find out whether they are a good person or a werewolf, but they cannot know their specific identity.

Next comes the witch.

The witch has a bottle of antidote and a bottle of poison. The antidote can be used to save anyone who dies at night, including herself. The poison can be used to poison anyone at night, including herself. Note, if the witch dies with the potions unused, they become ineffective.

After that is the Hunter.

Before dying, the Hunter can shoot and take any person of their choice with them. If the Hunter is poisoned by the witch, they cannot shoot.

Last of all are the villagers.

The villagers can’t do anything; they can only close their eyes at night and open them at daybreak and then vote to eliminate the player they think is a werewolf.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Bull subconsciously sighed.

Monkey, on the other hand, quickly looked over, with a fleeting flash of ferocity in his eyes.

Ji Wanwan silently twisted her fingertips.

Bull and Monkey, it’s over…

Being unable to hide emotions is the biggest taboo in the werewolf game.

Phoenix’s eyes gleamed with interest, “In addition to the identity rules, there’s one more thing!

The first night, any player who dies for whatever reason can leave a last word. After that night, players who die cannot leave last words.

Players eliminated during the day can also leave a last word.

During the course of the game, everyone must not flip over the Identity Card in front of them. Anyone who violates this rule will be eliminated.

Does anyone have any questions about these rules?”

The group looked at each other.

Those who knew how to play didn’t need teaching, and those who didn’t would still be confused even after hearing the rules.

But fate wouldn’t give them the chance to familiarize themselves with the game.

Phoenix’s gaze swept over everyone, “Who is God?”

Wearing a fox mask, Wen Yuheng slowly raised his hand.

“Wow!” Phoenix clapped their hands, “Congratulations to Mr. Fox for getting the God Card!”

Scorpion cursed immediately, “Damn it! Why isn’t it me!”

Everyone knew that getting the God Card was like getting a license to kill, no matter how bloody the battlefield became, they could remain uninvolved.

The looks everyone gave Wen Yuheng were profound, and their undisguised envy made Wen Yuheng feel a sense of guilt out of nowhere.

He subconsciously looked at Ji Wanwan; his gaze was complex.

On one hand, he was relieved that he was God, spared from calamity; on the other hand, he was pained at the prospect of having to watch Ji Wanwan and the others fight to the death.

It was he who had brought Ji Wanwan to the Black Market.

If something truly happened to Ji Wanwan, it would be a psychological torment for him.

He took a shallow breath, raised his head to look at Phoenix, and said with a muffled voice, “What should I do now? Just announce it’s nightfall and ask everyone to close their eyes?”

Phoenix made a welcoming gesture, “You’re God, it’s for you to decide.”

Wen Yuheng fell silent for a moment, then got straight to the point, “The game officially begins, night falls…please close your eyes…”

With his words, everyone shut their eyes.

The relatively fair Phoenix and the four hanging guns also gave no one the chance to peek.

“Werewolves, please appear.” After a short pause, Wen Yuheng’s voice came again, “Werewolves, please confirm your comrades, you have 10 seconds to communicate.”

After 10 seconds of silence, Wen Yuheng bit his teeth with difficulty, “Werewolves…please kill…”

The tone of Wen Yuheng’s voice?

He spoke with such difficulty and pain, Ji Wanwan already had her answer.

Who would have thought, the first to be targeted would be herself!

They didn’t kill Bull, whose identity as a villager was already exposed, instead opting to kill a girl who seemed to be of no threat, what a curious train of thought.

On second thought, it made sense that the werewolves would target the person they perceived as the biggest threat in the first round.

Since Bull’s identity as a villager was confirmed, and villagers were no threat, it was reasonable to leave him be for now.

But why on earth did they see her as the biggest threat, wanting to take her out in the first round?

What they thought no longer mattered.

What mattered was that she might very well be eliminated soon!

This underground gambling den seemed quite strange; she didn’t know if her superpower could help her escape this predicament.

No, if she couldn’t escape, she would fight with all her might!

Her parents and younger brother were all in the refuge!

She absolutely couldn’t die here!

At this moment, Ji Wanwan’s heart raced; she kept assuring herself that it didn’t matter, perhaps the witch would save her.

After a brief silence, Wen Yuheng continued to direct, “Werewolves, please close your eyes, witch, please open your eyes. The person killed tonight is her, do you wish to save her?”

Witch!

Save me!

You must save me!

The more people, the greater the chance of winning!

Ji Wanwan prayed frantically in her heart.

Soon, Wen Yuheng’s voice came, seemingly relieved, “Okay, I’ve got it. Witch, are you using your poison tonight? And on whom?”

At the sound of that voice, Ji Wanwan was overjoyed.

That’s great!

The witch must have chosen to save me!

Maybe the witch is a newbie or has a kind heart…

If it were someone even slightly more selfish, they might have saved the antidote for themselves instead of using it to save someone in the first round.

Moreover, what if the werewolves staged a self-attack to trick out the antidote?

Wouldn’t that be all in vain!

But on second thought, in this do-or-die situation, the werewolves probably wouldn’t be so bold as to gamble with their own lives, so they must target the good people.

So, it makes complete sense for the witch to use the antidote to save someone.

No matter the process, at least she can survive this round…
