The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?
Chapter 92: The Bomber among Roosters

Chapter 92: Chapter 92: The Bomber among Roosters

Liu Zheng descended into the basement.

The area below was pitch-black, but the air wasn’t particularly stale; there must have been a ventilation opening somewhere.

He took out the matches he had found in the kitchen and lit three of them at once.

The brightness of the matches was naturally insufficient to illuminate the entire basement, but it allowed him to spot a candlestick embedded in the wall.

By lighting the candle, Liu Zheng could finally make out the scene in the basement with some effort.

The size of the basement was roughly the same as the kitchen, only much lower in height.

Liu Zheng, with his stature of barely one meter six, had to bend over to move around.

In the southeast corner was a chicken nest made of straw.

Next to the chicken nest was a wooden trough, presumably filled with insects.

Besides that, the basement also stored food like wheat, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, which all keep well.

Even if the rooster finished eating the insects, it could actually survive for quite a long time.

This guy ran out simply because he couldn’t stand it or was feeling peckish.

Liu Zheng glanced at the rooster, and Emperor Qin Shihuang returned a look of innocence.

He rummaged through the basement but didn’t find anything useful.

So, he turned his attention to the chicken nest.

"What are you going to do?"

The rooster became vigilant about matters involving its own nest.

"Don’t worry, I’m not taking yours."

Liu Zheng walked to the edge of the chicken nest and reached in to feel around.

Sure enough, he found a piece of letter paper at the bottom.

The letter paper was covered in black stains, and he could only make out some of the content.

"The priest has arrived, everyone is sick."

"I don’t trust him, but they don’t trust me."

"Little Red Riding Hood has gone to the forest, she’s in danger."

"I should go now, they are calling me."

"Please take care of my chicken, it’s my only family and friend."

"Don’t come looking for me."

"Bring my chicken to the forest, it will find me."

Liu Zheng looked at the letter, pondering.

The content wasn’t much, but it was loaded with information.

Firstly, the priest was evidently a key figure.

He might even be at the root of all the incidents in Werewolf Village.

Next, Little Red Riding Hood and the Carpenter must have had a significant relationship.

The Carpenter going to the forest could have been to find her.

However, the phrase "she’s in danger" was ambiguous.

Was Little Red Riding Hood’s situation dangerous, or was Little Red Riding Hood herself dangerous?

Lastly, the last three sentences at the end of the letter were contradictory.

The first two asked someone to look after the chicken without looking for him in the forest.

The final sentence then instructed someone to take the chicken to the forest to find him.

Was the final sentence genuinely written by the Carpenter?

If not, why was the handwriting the same?

Liu Zheng, who dealt with signatures frequently, was not easily fooled by an imitation.

"Huh? Wait a minute."

He suddenly thought of another issue.

Didn’t the rooster say the Carpenter was illiterate? How then did the Carpenter write the letter?

Was the rooster lying, or was the Carpenter the one lying?

Or was it that the letter was not written by the Carpenter at all?

The riddles the letter presented were even more numerous than the lines it contained.

"Cluck cluck cluck!"

That was the rooster suddenly crowing.

It extracted its head from the bag full of wheat and then returned to sit on the chicken nest.

Afterward, the rooster closed its eyes.

Liu Zheng initially thought it was going to sleep, but it didn’t seem so, given the tautness of its body.

"You’re not food poisoned, are you?"

He asked tentatively.

The rooster was key to solving the mystery, and it wouldn’t be good if it died.

It opened its eyes and looked disdainfully at Liu Zheng.

"I’m incubating eggs."

"Huh? Aren’t you a rooster?"

He said in shock.

"If a rooster can talk, what’s so strange about laying an egg?"

"Seems like there’s no problem with that."

Liu Zheng dropped his astonished expression.

In his watchful gaze, the large rooster, after some strenuous effort, finally laid an egg about the size of half a fist.

"Take it."

It said.

"Uh, actually I’m not hungry."

Liu Zheng said.

If it had been an ordinary egg, he would have taken it without a second thought.

But an egg laid by a talking rooster felt too hot to handle.

What if it explodes?

"The master said, if someone saved me, I should lay an egg to repay him."

"This isn’t a real egg, you’ll know once you open it."

The large rooster said.

Since it said that, Liu Zheng picked up the egg.

He shook it tentatively; there was no sound of egg fluid rolling inside, and it was much lighter than a normal egg—like it had just a shell.

He gently tapped the eggshell open, and inside was a Flash Card.

On the card, a slender witch was heavily surrounded by werewolves.

In her hand, she held a bottle of potion emitting red light, her gaze resolute.

"Congratulations to player number 8 for acquiring the Divine Favor Card: Unstable Compound."

"Effect: After the witch is killed by a werewolf at night, it will randomly kill a werewolf. It can be used at the same time as Poison."

What a great thing.

Liu Zheng’s eyes lit up.

It was as if he had gained the identity of a Hunter, and its skill was much stronger than that of the Hunter’s.

After all, a Hunter’s shot might not hit a werewolf.

Now, the good side effectively had one more turn than the werewolves, significantly increasing their chances of winning.

"Announcement: The witch has acquired the Divine Favor Card ’Unstable Compound’."

"Effect: After the witch is killed by a werewolf at night, she will randomly kill one werewolf. It can be used at the same time as Poison."

Before Liu Zheng could be happy for too long, the host’s voice rang out again.

This time, all players heard it.

"Damn."

Liu Zheng thought he could stealthily deal with the werewolves, but the host just exposed him.

But thinking about it, it made sense; if the werewolves didn’t even know this information, their disadvantage would be too great.

On second thought, exposure was actually a good thing for him.

Knowing he was the witch, the werewolves would not dare to kill him now, and he was most likely to survive until the end.

"It’s dark, please close your eyes."

The voice of the host resounded once more.

This time, Liu Zheng’s vision was not taken away, but suddenly outside the window, it turned to night.

The blood-colored moonlight spilled down again, and the howling of werewolves rose and fell in waves.

He tried pulling the wooden door; indeed, it wouldn’t budge.

The howls of the werewolves drew closer.

Four fearsome werewolves ran rampant through the village, laughing wildly like the grim reaper.

Suddenly, one werewolf pounced in front of Liu Zheng’s window.

Its glowing green pupils stared at him intently, nostrils flaring slightly, drooling thick saliva from its mouth.

Liu Zheng didn’t know what this signified—could it be this werewolf had cast a vote to kill him?

The werewolf stood for a few seconds and then left the window to rejoin the pack.

Soon, the werewolves’ howling gradually ceased, and the village returned to silence.

"Witch, please open your eyes. Do you wish to use your Poison?"

The voice of the host sounded.

The moment of decision had come.

Liu Zheng had no antidote left; he didn’t know if the werewolves would kill him tonight.

If he didn’t use it, he might waste a good person’s turn.

If he poisoned the wrong person, the big advantage gained from the Divine Favor Card would be neutralized.

The speeches of number 10, 11, 12, 9, and 3 played back rapidly in his mind.

Finally, before the countdown by the host ended, he made his decision.
