The Virgin Mary in the Book: I Decide My Life with Two Swords

Cang Yue State Official Road

The rain at night is indescribably beautiful. The raindrops gently hit the awning, making soft dripping sounds, as if telling its own story.

After eating and drinking, everyone was still reluctant to leave and kept chatting about this and that.

Qiuju was washing dishes, and Zhuang Yi brought two people to help.

Su Su hugged his knees and muttered to himself, "It's only been dark for a short time now, and it's raining so hard. I won't be able to sleep if I go back!"

"Then let's play a game, a game I invented," Ye Ling said.

"Okay!" Meng Jing was the first to agree. When she heard the word "play", she became energetic.

"We have no problem, let's talk about the game." Mo Yufeng also became interested.

"Jiuyou, bring that small table over here too. Put the three together. My game is more fun the more people join. Now, I'm calling the roll: Youlou Master, Senior Brother, Junior Brother, Susu, Meng Jing, Pigeon, Zhuang Yi, Hu Zi, and Qiu Ju, all come."

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" The pigeon wanted to play in his heart, but he had to pretend on the surface.

"Listen to the Night Envoy," Youminglang spoke.

“Yes” the pigeon was quite happy.

After a while, everyone sat around on the blanket. Three small low tables were placed in a row in front of them, with fruits and snacks on them.

Ye Ling cleared his throat and said, "My game is called Werewolf. There are nine of you in total. I have nine cards in my hand. Each card has an identity you have drawn. Only you know your identity. Don't let others see it.

"Okay" Su Su was a little impatient.

Ye Ling smiled and continued explaining, "Now, let's talk about the gameplay. Listen carefully. The Werewolf game is mainly divided into the werewolf and villager factions. The werewolves' goal is to kill all the villagers, while the villagers' goal is to find and vote to expel the werewolves. The game usually alternates between night and day. At night, the werewolves will choose a villager to kill, while during the day, they speak and vote. I only have one werewolf card in my hand."

"Listen carefully, deal the cards," Su Su rubbed his hands ready to go.

"Wait a moment, let Junior Sister finish speaking," Mo Yufeng said.

Ye Ling continued, "Apart from the werewolf, there are also special individuals such as the prophet, the wizard, and the borrower. They all have special abilities and can help the villagers find the werewolf. The rest are ordinary people. According to my instructions, after dark, the werewolf will choose a villager to kill.

The Oracle can check the identity of one player each night, but cannot check the same person two nights in a row.

The wizard has two bottles of medicine, one bottle of antidote can save people, and the other bottle of poison can poison people, but each bottle of medicine can only be used once.

A hunter can shoot and take one person away if he is killed by a werewolf or voted out, but cannot shoot if he is poisoned by a witch.

During the day, the death information of the previous night is announced, and players take turns to speak and vote, and suspicious players are exiled. This cycle continues until one side reaches the victory conditions.

If there is only one civilian and one werewolf left, the werewolf wins."

"I understand." Youminglang heard it very clearly.

"Okay, in summary, the Werewolf Strategy: Werewolves need to disguise themselves, using gestures and language to confuse the audience. They should try to hide their identities during the day and select key characters to kill at night. The Villager Strategy: You need to listen carefully to the speeches, use logical reasoning and voting to expel the werewolves, and use the abilities of special characters to identify the werewolves. Remember, when playing the game, there are no personal grudges, and no master-servant relationships. It's all about self-preservation."

"Okay" Everyone likes this new and interesting way of playing.

"I will be God, guiding everything," Ye Ling said, and then asked everyone to choose their own identity cards in turn. "Everyone, take a sneak peek and remember your identity. Then listen to me. I must emphasize this: unless you are told not to speak, you can only use your fingers and not speak. Those who have been killed cannot speak anymore."

Everyone tacitly placed the cards on the small table in front of them, and everything was calm.

Ye Ling said, "It's dark, please close your eyes. Everyone, close your eyes."

Everyone closed their eyes obediently, and Ye Ling continued, "Prophet, please open your eyes."

Youminglang slowly opened his eyes.

Ye Ling: "Prophet, whose identity do you want to verify?"

Youminglang pointed at Mo Yufeng who was standing next to him.

Ye Ling picked up Mo Yufeng and showed it to You Ming Lang, then said, "Prophet, close your eyes, werewolf, please open your eyes."

Jiuyou opened his eyes.

Ye Ling raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Werewolf, please point out the person you want to kill."

Jiuyou thought for a moment and pointed at the pigeon.

Ye Ling: "Werewolves close their eyes, wizards open their eyes."

Su Su opened his eyes and smiled foolishly.

Ye Ling held a piece of paper in her hand, on which was written the pigeon's death: "Witch, did you use the potion to save him?"

Su Su nodded, indicating that he would save people.

Ye Ling: "Witch, close your eyes. Everyone, open your eyes. No one was killed last night. Everyone can discuss their identities in turn, starting with Senior Brother?"

"Wait a moment," Meng Jing raised her hand. "Why isn't anyone dead? Aren't werewolves supposed to eat a human?"

"Because the wizard saved the people who were being killed!" Su Su said naively.

"Oh" Meng Jing nodded.

"Okay, please speak, brother."

The senior brother cleared his throat and said, "I can only say that I am a good person, so I guess the identity of the pigeon is not ordinary."

The pigeon quickly waved his hands and explained, "I didn't say a word, and you attacked me? I'm just an ordinary villager, really!"

You Ming Lang said, "Envoy Mo Si is indeed a good man, and the others are highly suspicious."

"I'm a good person too," Qiuju said.

"I also think that senior brother is a good person. The werewolf is between Pigeon and Meng Jing because you two are very panicked," Jiuyou said.

"Agree" Mo Yufeng supported.

Su Su thought to himself: Did I just save a werewolf?

"Let's throw one away, and the witch will poison another one at night. That'll be all right," Mo Yufeng suggested.

"I'll listen to my senior brother." Jiuyou took everyone's words to heart and had a perfect plan.

Ye Ling said: "Then vote."

"I'll throw the pigeon," Mo Yufeng said.

Then everyone agreed, and the pigeon was helpless: "Are you guys so casual?"

"Shut up, you are already a dead man," Hu Zi said with a smile.

Ye Ling taped the word "death" to the pigeon's chest and said, "Okay, the game... continues."

"Just look," the pigeon smiled bitterly.

"Stop talking," Ye Ling said, "Please close your eyes if it's dark, and please open your eyes if you're a prophet. Tell me who you want to test?"

Youminglang opened his eyes, thought for a moment, and pointed at Jiuyou.

Ye Ling smiled and picked up Jiuyou's sign to show Youminglang.

Youminglang nodded and closed his eyes.

Ye Ling continued, "Prophet, close your eyes. Werewolf, please open your eyes."

Jiuyou opened his eyes and pointed at Youminglang the moment he did, because just when Youminglang said that Mo Yufeng was a good person, he guessed that Youminglang was a prophet, so he must be killed.

Ye Ling nodded: "Werewolf, close your eyes, wizard, open your eyes, please make your choice."

Su Su saw that Youminglang had the word "death" written on his face, but she was powerless to do anything because there was no antidote. She could only poison Meng Jing to death, hoping that the game would end and they could win.

"Okay," Ye Ling continued, "It's dawn, everyone open your eyes. Two people died last night, but because it wasn't the first night they were killed, you didn't get a chance to say your last words. Don't speak."

Meng Jing picked up the fruit helplessly and ate it. Youminglang smiled slightly. This was his first time playing, so naturally he was not very skilled.

"There are six of you left: Senior Brother, Jiuyou, Susu, Qiuju, Huzi, and Zhuangyi. The game continues, and you can discuss it now," Ye Ling said, looking around. "You can only watch, but you are not allowed to speak or make any small movements."

"Yes." At this moment, there were already many people gathered around the awning. The brothers from the Renzi Hall came without warning and stood by to watch the game.

"I think... Master Youlou is a prophet. He said the wrong thing in the first round and directly pointed out that Moshishi was a good person. The werewolf must have noticed it, so he was killed," said Zhuang Yi.

Youminglang was still smiling, and he knew that he had just said the wrong thing.

"Then the prophet was killed, Pigeon and Meng Jing are also good people, and the witch has no poison or antidote anymore," Su Su said.

Mo Yufeng smiled dotingly: "Silly boy, why do you keep exploding?"

Su Su quickly covered his mouth. Jiuyou said, "From what I can see now, my senior brother is a good man, and my sister-in-law is a witch. So the werewolf is between me, Zhuang Qianshi, Qiuju, and Huzi."

"There is another hunter," Hu Zi said.

"Oh yes, I forgot about the hunter. What should I do? Who should I vote for?" Jiuyou asked.

Ye Ling said, "Everyone, vote for whoever you want. If you don't vote, the next round will begin."

"Hu Zi, what are you?" Mo Yufeng asked.

"I'm a good person!"

"You just mentioned hunter. Are you a hunter?" Zhuang Yi asked.

Hu Zi thought for a moment and said, "I can't tell you. How can you ask me that?"

"I won't vote this time because I don't know who to vote for," Mo Yufeng was very conflicted. "But I think Jiuyou must be a good guy."

"Why?" Zhuang Yi asked.

"No reason, just a feeling. What do you think? Will you vote?"

"No vote"

"Okay then," Ye Ling said, "Please close your eyes when it's dark, and please open your eyes if you're a prophet. Please tell me who you want to test."

You Ming Lang smiled helplessly, and Ye Ling also smiled happily, and then continued: "Prophet, close your eyes, werewolf, please open your eyes and tell me who you want to kill."

Jiuyou opened his eyes, pointed at Mo Yufeng without hesitation, and then closed his eyes.

Youminglang covered his eyes helplessly. Ye Ling came to Mo Yufeng and patted his shoulder.

Mo Yufeng opened his eyes and saw that he was already dead, feeling helpless.

Ye Ling pointed to the small words at the bottom of the sign: Hunter can take one person with him when he dies.

Mo Yufeng pointed at Hu Zi without hesitation, because he felt that Hu Zi was trying to steal his identity.

"Okay, it's dawn." Ye Ling really likes this God's perspective: "Dear players, two people died last night, Senior Brother and Hu Zi. So I declare that the game continues."

"Wow~ What's going on? That's not right. Why did two people die? I don't have any potions left!" Su Su asked.

"Hunter" Jiuyou said: "Hunters can take one person with them after they die. Hu Zi should be a hunter. He said it before."

"So you took Envoy Mo away?" Zhuang Yi was speechless. "I told you, Master Youlou is a prophet. He said Envoy Mo is a good man!"

Hu Zi was almost depressed, so he immediately picked up a fruit and ate it.

"Why is Zhuang Qianshi so excited? What is he trying to hide?" Jiuyou immediately launched an attack. He had to team up with Susu and Qiuju to kill Zhuang Yi first.

"Am I excited?"

"You are very excited," Qiuju said.

"That's right," Su Su also agreed.
