The handsome young man, player three, whose words were exposed, became somewhat angry and embarrassed: "How would an idiot like you know who's good or bad? I think you're just here to cause trouble!"
"That's not quite right," Lin Zhiqing said, pointing at the woman who was player six:
"When she said she was the Sheep Oracle, she was trying to mislead the players in the sheep faction, intending to vote me out first. And when she accused me, you jumped in, simply wanting the two of you to team up and guide everyone to eliminate me."
"That way, you two wolves could control the whole game."
Lin Zhiqing, of course, couldn't say she had noticed the clues by observing micro-expressions. She was analyzing the problem through the wolves' logic.
The other players, who had initially sided with player six, began to ponder after hearing Lin Zhiqing's explanation.
A gentle woman sitting beside Lin Zhiqing was the first to speak: "I think Miss Lin makes sense. Her logic is clear, and she's giving me clues."
Lin Zhiqing raised an eyebrow. The only person who could stand by her at this moment was the true Sheep Oracle.
Because only the true Sheep Oracle would know that she was being wrongly accused and that player six was a fake.
Moreover, when the gentle woman spoke, her body leaned slightly forward, and her hands were tightly clasped under her chin. This indicated she was very confident.
Combining these two points, the gentle woman's identity as the Sheep Oracle was confirmed.
Under the gentle woman's leadership, more and more people began to trust Lin Zhiqing. The first to be eliminated was player three. There was nothing to be done; Lin Zhiqing's words were calm and her voice gentle, making people feel comfortable. But player three was truly a bit impulsive. Most people didn't want to play with someone like that.
After player three was eliminated, in the next round, the gentle woman chose to reveal her identity as the Sheep Oracle. This made player six's identity highly suspicious.
After player six was eliminated, only one wolf remained. Lin Zhiqing won this round with almost no effort.
The moment the maid announced, "Game over, sheep faction wins," a commotion immediately erupted outside the pavilion.
"How is this possible? Lin Zhiqing isn't really a wolf?"
"Impossible. There was only one Sheep Oracle. Shouldn't an ordinary person who's accused of being a wolf panic? How could she guess who the werewolf is?"
"Luck, this must be luck. The next round won't be certain."
At the beginning of the second round, Lin Zhiqing instinctively observed the expressions of the others.
But even after the first seven people's identity cards were distributed, she only found two suspected wolves through their expressions.
As for the last one... Lin Zhiqing looked at her own identity card. She felt she was most likely a wolf.
She flipped it open, and sure enough!
After learning her identity, she didn't look at her two wolf teammates but continued to observe the expressions on the good people's faces.
Among the five good people, the gentle woman's expression was the most subtle. Her body was slightly recoiled, and one hand was placed on the armrest of her chair. This indicated that she felt insecure and was using objects to support herself.
She was not the Sheep Oracle!
After reaching this conclusion, when Lin Zhiqing closed her eyes for the first time, she and her teammate, the gentle woman, eliminated her.
Because the gentle woman was clearly the most skilled player at the table, keeping her was risky.
With the only intelligent person gone, the remaining players were even more helpless.
"How... how did Lin Zhiqing suddenly become so smart? Did you all figure out she was a wolf?"
"No, she's no different from a sheep."
"Some people at the table are just too stupid. If I were playing, Lin Zhiqing would have been found out long ago."
"Lin Zhiqing, that idiot, absolutely couldn't suddenly become so smart. Do you think she cheated?"
As more and more talk of "cheating" spread, the people at the table were inevitably affected.
Even the handsome young man who Lin Zhiqing had identified as a wolf earlier was now full of suspicion towards Lin Zhiqing in his words.
Lin Zhiqing ignored them, only following her own rhythm.
The second round ended quickly. She had already accumulated two points. As long as she won the last round as well, entering the second stage would be no problem.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqing observed even more carefully when the maid dealt the cards.
But this time, she quickly noticed something was wrong.
More than half of the players on the field, at the first glance of their identity cards, surprisingly didn't check their identities. Instead, they seemed to be secretly glancing at her?
After meeting the gaze of the sixth player, Lin Zhiqing confirmed she hadn't seen wrong.
There were eight players on the field, and four of them looked at her strangely.
The handsome man who had argued with her in the first round narrowed his eyes, his eyebrows relaxed, and the corners of his mouth turned up, looking very excited.
The same look appeared on the face of the woman at position six.
The others frowned tightly. Upon meeting Lin Zhiqing's gaze, they quickly looked away, like startled deer.
This was clearly a sign of guilt.
Excitement and guilt?
Lin Zhiqing only glanced at her wolf identity card. Before she could think further, the maid announced the start of the game.
From the very beginning, she noticed something abnormal.
The other two wolves, including the handsome man, didn't communicate with her at all. They directly eliminated a person.
This didn't seem like playing a game at all. It was more like they were in a hurry, so they just eliminated someone randomly.
Why were they in a hurry?
Lin Zhiqing would soon know the answer to this question.
"Lin Zhiqing must be a wolf, there's nothing to say. I heard the rustling of her clothes when I closed my eyes." The handsome man immediately sold Lin Zhiqing out as soon as he spoke.
And he used a flimsy excuse like "hearing the sound of clothes," which any intelligent person would know couldn't be trusted.
But the subsequent development exceeded Lin Zhiqing's expectations. Several people in a row expressed that the handsome man's words made sense and supported him.
This strange atmosphere immediately made Lin Zhiqing realize: everyone seemed not to care about winning or losing, only whether she could be eliminated?
What was this?
Something must have happened during the rest period after the second round, which made everyone turn their hostility towards her!
Lin Zhiqing scanned the crowd and immediately saw a maid whose eyes held a hint of schadenfreude.
Princess Pingning?
Lin Zhiqing turned her head, an alarm bell ringing in her heart.
This round concerned whether she could enter the next stage, and it was undoubtedly crucial.
Now, everyone on the field seemed crazy. Both wolves and sheep were targeting her. It would be very difficult to win this round.
Currently, at least four people wanted to vote for her, including her two wolf teammates.
After the previous speakers finished, Lin Zhiqing sighed faintly: "I don't know why everyone started by accusing me of being a wolf. Is it because if I win this round, I'll be able to enter the second stage?"
But as soon as she spoke, the people around her burst into laughter.
They were laughing at her overestimation of herself and her feigned ignorance.
More than half of the people on the field had already indicated they would vote for Lin Zhiqing. Whatever she said now would be in vain.
In everyone's eyes, Lin Zhiqing was already eliminated.
How could such a person enter the second stage?
