Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

After seeing clearly that the sacrifice was a shriveled human head, Xia Yue was naturally scared to death.

She stood against the wall with a pale face, obviously unable to complete the task of arranging the offerings and lighting the candles.

In comparison, although Lin Yu was also frightened, he was much calmer than Xia Yue.

On the one hand, it was because Lin Yu had been scared in the kitchen before and had a general understanding of the nature of this game.

On the other hand, although Lin Yu was a little scared, someone still had to do this task, so he deliberately pretended to be indifferent.

"Performing" can sometimes bring some positive psychological hints to oneself.

In the end, Lin Yu actually didn't feel that scared anymore.

Soon, Lin Yu completed the task.

All you need to do is move the head to another position and place it right in front of the shrine, then pick up the matches on both sides of the shrine and light the two extinguished candles.

Fear and physical discomfort are probably the only difficulties of this task.

After completing the task easily, Lin Yu quickly took Xia Yue away from this uncomfortable room.

In the corridor, Xia Yue was full of gratitude to Lin Yu for completing a task alone.

"Thank you, Detective..."

"You're welcome. It's just a small favor. We'll all be in danger if we don't finish it anyway," Lin Yu said casually. "Just put in more effort on the next mission."

"That's true. As the saying goes, working together as a man and a woman is not tiring."

Xia Yue spoke with a smile while leaning against the corridor window. The crows perched on the dead tree outside the window kept cawing.

But compared to before, Xia Yue's smile at this moment seemed a bit forced.

The shrunken head just now was undoubtedly another reminder to her...

This game is based on the theme of "death".

That is definitely not a fake "prop", but the remains left after the death of a real life.

The two walked to the end of the corridor and prepared to go to the third floor to do the next task.

At this moment, footsteps were suddenly heard from the stairs below.

Xia Yue and Lin Yu became alert again.

But this time, before they could hide, they came face to face with someone coming up from downstairs.

It is the combination of Chen Zhuo and Xu Xiumei.

The little fat man Chen Zhuo looked at Lin Yu and Xia Yue and immediately stopped.

"Be careful, Mr. Xu, these two people seem to be waiting for us!"

Chen Zhuo bravely protected Xu Xiumei in front of him.

Xu Xiumei also looked at Lin Yu and Xia Yue warily.

Lin Yu was helpless.

"Who is waiting for you here? We have to go up the stairs too..."

"As for you guys—if I remember correctly, the tasks assigned to you don't include going upstairs, right? What do you want to do upstairs?"

He also questioned the two of them in return.

When Lin Yu pointed out the problem, Chen Zhuo immediately retorted: "We have no obligation to tell you what we are going to do!"

As he said that, Chen Zhuo pulled Xu Xiumei down the stairs again.

Lin Yu observed the movements of the two people and, combining this with his previous observations of the castle's structure, guessed that the two people were likely to take another staircase to the second floor.

"It's not just thieves and burglars, the combination of otaku and teacher... that's also weird."

Lin Yu couldn't help but complain.

The two groups he encountered in succession were both suspicious, which made him wonder if there was something wrong with the game itself.

Xia Yue was a little curious: "What's so suspicious about the two people I just met? Are they also going to a place outside of their mission?"

"Yes, and the strangest thing is that they are going to a place outside the mission together," Lin Yu said seriously, "Put yourself in my shoes. If I tell you now that I want to go to another place outside the mission, will you agree?"

Xia Yue was stunned for a moment, then began to think seriously: "I don't know, it probably depends on what reason you give me - if the reason is sufficient, I will agree."

Lin Yu nodded and asked in return: "Then change the angle. Suppose you want to convince me to go somewhere other than the mission now. Can you think of an excellent reason - not only to let me go, but also to make me trust you completely."

Lin Yu's question stumped Xia Yue. After pondering for a long time, she smiled bitterly, "Now that you put it that way, it's really strange."

"Yeah, especially that otaku. He had clearly heard about my detective identity and abilities before, and he still trusted me... But this is also a good thing. It is precisely because of the 'abnormality' that I can better judge who is the werewolf."

Lin Yu looked at Xia Yue who was getting worried again, and changed the subject to comfort her.

"That's right, with you here, Detective, there's nothing to worry about!"

Xia Yue also cheered up again and said, "Let's continue with the task - you will be able to show your skills at the meeting tonight!"

Lin Yu also nodded and continued to do the remaining tasks with Xia Yue.

But because the other two groups of people they met before behaved suspiciously, Xia Yue and Lin Yu had to be more cautious next time.

In addition, the tasks were already tedious, and after a whole day of busy work, Xia Yue and Lin Yu felt very tired.

"I'm so exhausted, it's even more tiring than going to work!"

After completing the last task on today's schedule, Xia Yue let out a sigh and said.

At this time, the sky outside the window, which was already dark, had completely darkened.

"when--"

The heavy ringing of the bell meant that the evening was almost over and it was time for them to return to the meeting room.

"Let's go."

Lin Yu was also a little exhausted. It was like the final week was a hell, as if he had to rehearse a play in the evening after reviewing.

The two men dragged their heavy feet back to the meeting room they had been in at the beginning. After pushing the door open, they found that except for the two of them, the remaining five people were already seated in the meeting room.

Yu Longguo raised his eyebrows when he saw Lin Yu and Xia Yue come in.

"What a surprise! There really isn't a single dead person today."

As soon as he said this, Bao Liu looked at Yu Longguo and asked, "Hey, soldier, what do you mean by this?"

Xia Yue was also a little unhappy. After she sat down with Lin Yu, she looked at Yu Longguo and said, "Isn't it better that no one died?"

"Of course it's a good thing," Yu Longguo said coldly, "but it also means that werewolves are more patient than I imagined... If they can't help but kill today, then there will naturally be a breakthrough point now - isn't that the greatest significance of grouping them in pairs?"

"But what you said is too cruel!"

Xia Yue said angrily.

Yu Longguo sighed, "Don't be so naive, little girl. Don't you realize this is a 'death game'?... Even if werewolves really don't kill people, humans must eliminate at least two werewolves in order to survive—and elimination means death!"

"This is a game where at least two people will die!"

As Yu Longguo spoke, Xia Yue was speechless.

Not only Xia Yue, but everyone else on the field was also silent.

In the end, it was Chen Zhuo who spoke up and broke the silence.

"Alright, alright. I think we humans have a pretty good chance of winning right now... Even though the werewolf held back from attacking, perhaps because it didn't find a good opportunity, it still means it's a wasted 'turn' in the Werewolf game!"

"Because of the detective's presence, the good guys can lock down someone's identity every day. So, all they need is for the detective to activate his ability... The werewolves are actually at a disadvantage now!"

After Chen Zhuo finished speaking, everyone's eyes naturally turned to Lin Yu, who had been silent the whole time.
