Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Highest Status in the Whole Arena

minutes left, with 11 players remaining.

On average, each player had less than 3 minutes, and that included both electing the sheriff and voting to execute.

Everyone realized the urgency of time.

"I’ll keep it short, I am player number 12, the witch. Last night, I saved player number 8, who is now my Silver Water (the person saved by the witch)."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng frowned.

It wasn’t a big deal for someone to falsely claim to be the witch, but they reported the correct target of the attack.

There were only two possibilities.

First, this person was merely bluffing for fun, seeing that they were the only one under pressure from the sheriff, so they cited their Silver Water to rally votes.

Second, this person was a werewolf, unaware that he was the witch, but knew he had been targeted, so they used their Silver Water to garner votes.

No, there was a third possibility.

Liu Zheng was startled.

This person was a werewolf, then deliberately claimed to be the witch to falsify the attack report, bluffing about his identity.

After all, it was odd that he was the only one under pressure; it was highly likely he held the God Card.

If Liu Zheng reacted too strongly, player number 12 might guess that he was the witch, and then either target him at night or actively push against him.

While he was pondering, player number 12 continued speaking.

"If no prophets come forward later, then player number 8, you can vote for player number 11."

"Of course, if you’re confused, you can also hand the sheriff’s badge to me."

"If the True Prophet jumps in later, they must speak up; I’m likely to die tonight, and I must hand over this poison bottle. In case you get poisoned to death, then you’ll take the full blame."

"That’s all for my statement."

Player number 12’s statement was smooth, and the tone was firm.

If it weren’t for the last sentence, Liu Zheng would think there’s an 80 percent chance that he was a werewolf.

Because his previous words seemed very much like rallying votes for player number 11.

But with that last statement added, Liu Zheng felt like his werewolf demeanor diminished slightly.

However, the act of falsely claiming the witch role and reporting the correct target was still highly suspicious, and Liu Zheng would still keep him in the werewolf pit for the time being.

Moreover, when it was his turn to speak, he would be even more cautious, not giving player number 12 any opportunity to spot a flaw.

Yet, after this round of statements from the two of them, the one who was actually reaping the greatest benefit was Liu Zheng himself.

He held a God’s Water and a Silver Water, which made his identity the highest on the field, ranking above both players number 11 and 12 who reported him as God’s and Silver Water.

"Player number 1, it’s your turn to speak."

"It’s player number 1 speaking, and I am the true Prophet."

"Player number 11 is a werewolf opposing me, and player number 8 is his werewolf teammate."

"Last night, I checked player number 8, and he is definitely a werewolf."

Player number 1’s statement caused a sensation.

Especially Liu Zheng, he was completely stunned.

No, wait, brother.

You give the only player not in play the right to kill, are the werewolves these days so bold?

"Will player number 12, the claimed witch, give up the water (withdraw from the election)?"

"Alright, so you won’t withdraw, huh? Then I’ll just mark you as a werewolf directly. Earlier prophets have reported Gold’s Water, and here you are reporting Silver Water, how credible can you, a claimed witch, be?"

"Of course, I won’t kill you outright. Tonight’s sheriff’s badge movement will be left to you, and tomorrow’s will just randomly check player number 6."

"If you truly are the witch, just directly team up with me during the day to reveal my check on player number 8, and at night, poison the boldly jumping player number 11."

"Let’s settle it this way, that’s all from me."

After player number 1’s round of speaking, Liu Zheng’s brows were twisted into a "川" shape.

Although he couldn’t see the faces of the other players, he felt they must be similar to his.

What on earth did he just say?

"Player number 2, it’s your turn to speak."

"Player number 1, what was that mess you just said in your statement?"

The Player 2 couldn’t wait to speak.

It was a young girl’s voice, quick and anxious, a bit squeaky, but not unpleasant to the ear.

"You already claimed Player 8 is a werewolf, so how could he still vote for you? Where did you get the sheriff’s badge from?"

Liu Zheng was nodding frantically below.

Right, even if he were a good guy, even if he were a werewolf, as Player 1’s teammate, it would be impossible to vote for Player 1 in this situation.

"Without a sheriff’s badge, you’re keeping jack...jack shit of a badge. And did you really need to check Player 12? Just get him to poison Player 11 tonight, and we’d have our answer in the morning, wouldn’t we?"

"Anyway, Player 1’s statement is too ridiculous, I don’t believe he’s the True Prophet."

"Of course, the actions of Players 11 and 12 giving gold and silver water to Player 8 are also somewhat suspicious."

"Right now, I’m not siding with anyone, let’s hear what the others have to say."

"That’s the end of my statement."

Player 2’s speech, a bit interesting, huh?

Liu Zheng nodded slightly.

She launched into a tirade against Player 1, and then took minor jabs at Players 11 and 12, as well as himself.

Overall, she seemed to be in high spirits.

But she didn’t mention her own identity at all; Liu Zheng suspected she was holding a God Card, just not sure whether she was the Hunter or the Guard.

But the guard probably wouldn’t be this aggressive; it was more likely she was the Hunter.

"Player 3, it’s your turn to speak."

"Player 3 speaking, Player 1 is definitely a werewolf."

The opening statement from Player 3 was preemptive.

"Not only did he blindly claim to be the Prophet, but he also dared to cast my gold water inspection."

"Don’t panic, Player 8, you have me, the true Prophet, to protect you."

"As for Player 11, I don’t know what you’re made of, but if you’re a good guy, retract your water now or I’m checking you tonight."

"And Player 12, it’s up to you, after all, I didn’t find out anything from last night’s check."

"If they go after me tonight, you save me. If they target you, just poison someone, and if Player 11 doesn’t retract his water, I suggest you go ahead and poison him."

"Player 11 is still not retracting his water, huh? Then go ahead, Player 12, poison him."

"Player 8, cast your vote for me, we’ll take out Player 1 during the day. Then tonight, I won’t check Player 11, I’ll check Player 6 instead, let’s settle it like that."

"That’s the end of my statement."

Player 3’s speech once again raised Liu Zheng’s status.

And now Player 1’s identity became the lowest on the totem pole.

In the eyes of the other players, it was now either Player 1 was a werewolf, or Players 11, 12, 3, and 8 were all werewolves together.

Considering werewolves wouldn’t be so blatantly obvious in banding together unless they were complete idiots, it pretty much confirmed Player 1 was a werewolf.

After Player 3’s speech, the other players also spoke one after another.

The content of the speeches was mostly the same, stepping on Player 1 and then expressing their feelings towards Players 11 and 12.

Some directly stated they were villagers, while others hinted at being a divine role.

However, Liu Zheng noticed that Players 5 and 7’s speeches were a bit long.

With such pressing time, whether they were simply long-winded or intentionally dragging out time, it was not a good sign.

It wasn’t until Player 9 spoke that the situation finally changed again.

"I am the true Prophet, Player 12 is my investigation."

"During the day, let’s get rid of my investigation, Player 12. Tonight, I’ll check the guarded Player 8, if you’re not afraid of an inspection then vote for me, and I’ll go check Player 2 who was on the sheriff’s list."

"If tomorrow we find out Player 2 is an inspection and turns out to be a werewolf, we’ll get rid of them. If Player 2 is gold water, then we first push Player 1, the false prophet who claimed an inspection."

"That’s the end of my speech, let’s hurry up and choose a sheriff."

"The sheriff’s election speeches are over, players under protection please begin voting."

All eyes were on Liu Zheng.

His vote could very well determine the outcome of this game.

After a mental storm, Liu Zheng finally made his decision.
