Chapter 26 War Games
Soon, the four-minute public chat was over.
Delicious Wind Goose pressed the "8" button without hesitation.
The other party also quickly answered the phone:
"Who are you? What's your identity?"
Delicious Wind Goose asked immediately.
"I'm Dove, the incapacitated school, not a prophet," Dove responded quickly. "You're the captain, time is running out, speak up quickly. I'm here to pass on your order to Andersen."
There wasn't much time for Tasty Wind Goose to think, but he thought about the same: "They wear civilian clothes to stay on the defensive. As long as no one dies by the next night, the innocents have already won."
When he said this, his thinking gradually became clear: "But they can't defend all the time, because three people will inevitably be thrown. Then the next day, eight, nine, ten, and eleven will definitely have someone using their skills."
And...and there's the idol wizard, the shit stick.
The idol wizard needs to make sure that two people are dead, and the others can't let the idol wizard win. Then, if the idol wizard jumps and declares his identity the next day, in order not to let him win, others must let the "survival target" named by him die; at the same time, he cannot execute the "death target" he declared.
——Or just kill the idol wizard directly.
But in any case, as long as the idol wizard uses his skills, he will definitely cause death.
Then the idol wizard will almost certainly kill on the first night to switch sides. If the switch fails, he may not jump out and start defending.
However, as long as the idol wizard succeeds in killing people on the first or second night... on the third night at the latest, there will be at least two nights where someone will kill.
- Defence is absolutely unstoppable.
"If we go with innocents, then we can't fight back and kill. Once civilians are actually killed, we can't kill someone who already has a head to stop the other side, which means switching sides...
"I don't know if the seven 'civilians' in this round are true or not. My suggestion is, if Andersen is a wizard, kill No. 1 and No. 6 tonight. As long as we can eat a civilian, we will kill others on the third night... complete."
Time is running out.
Without any hesitation, Dove called the number 12.
Delicious Wind Goose realized that the biggest difficulty in this game...is time. The time is so tight that it is almost impossible to do complex logical thinking, and it is impossible to chat with other people, because the time is tight and no one will listen.
... Then how do you cast people tomorrow and during the day?
But at this time, Delicious Wind Goose saw that the lights on No. 8 and No. 12 were on.
He suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
Looking at the dim runes of others, he seemed to see others looking down at him indifferently.
Delicious Wind Goose realized one thing—
Among the twelve people, it seems... only three of them have had private chats.
This means that if someone dies tonight...he might have been exposed!
But there is no way, the killers at night can't communicate with each other.
Delicious Wind Goose can't temporarily modify his plan.
All he could do was wait for the dawn.
Soon, the first night was over.
"Then it's dawn."
Ike's voice sounded: "It was Number One who died last night, he was murdered.
"Speak in the order of actions last night: No. 12, No. 9, No. 8, No. 11, No. 6; the others did not act last night, starting from No. 2 and speaking in numerical order."
--Oops.
It's different from what he thought at the beginning... Will people who have not acted be announced?
The delicious wind goose sank in his heart.
Does this mean that on the first day...the identities of the three of us were all revealed?
Longjing Tea, who watched the live broadcast, sighed.
"—The old goose's brain is still not good..."
Annan couldn't help but shook his head and said to himself:
"It's not that you can't fight... Let's see the operation."
Delicious Wind Goose seems to have realized something.
But he still didn't find the crux of the problem.
Victory in this game...
Not in "Wizards".
It's about "civilians".
No. 12 was obviously stunned for a moment, and was delayed for a few seconds.
He didn't seem to expect that he was the first to act.
He hesitated.
Suddenly began to speak: "I am a prophet wizard, and I did not reveal my identity on the first day. I tested the number seven yesterday, and he is indeed a saboteur, not an idol wizard, over."
……what?
Delicious Wind Goose froze for a moment.
- Wonderful!
Although this speech is still not very good, it saved a little bit...
Immediately, No. 9: "I am the Prophet Wizard! I tested No. 8 last night, he is an incapacitated wizard, and they have negotiated! Let the fake No. 12 be voted out today, and then vote for No. 8 tomorrow! I saw that No. 3 and No. 8 also had a conversation, and voted No. 3 on the fourth day, I have already arranged for you, pass!"
Next is Dove.
She said methodically: "Number Nine is wrong, I'm not a disabled wizard... Of course, I'm not a prophet wizard either.
"—I am a civilian."
The corner of Annan's mouth rose.
It was Dove who reacted first.
Dove said calmly: "From No. 1 to No. 6, six companies of civilians are prevented from killing. A single civilian of mine may be killed, so I said the prophet wizard, there was no prophet wizard at that time, obviously I It is to wear clothes, and at the same time, name the real prophet wizard No. 7 for verification, so as to prevent him from pretending to be an idol wizard who destroys wizards to return the vote.
"And the number nine jumped against me when I reported the prophet wizard, but instead of voting for me, he voted for the real prophet wizard number twelve. I suspect that he planned to kill me, a real commoner tonight, and is now lying Identity. I suggest throwing No. 9 out today, over."
The corner of Annan's mouth rose slightly.
Although there are still many problems with Dove's speech... but it seems that because she has never played Werewolf, her sensitivity is stronger than that of Delicious Wind Goose.
Dove successfully disrupted all the first three speeches, and no matter who it was, he couldn't completely believe it. Then those who speak later must stand by and provide new information and ideas, otherwise there will be a deadlock.
This rule has one distinct difference from werewolf killing.
That is because civilians cannot easily kill or act... So basically, it can be considered that civilians are mostly innocent.
In other words.
——Civilians without skills have a higher status than wizards with skills.
Because this is not actually a hidden identity, a logical [killing game].
It's a [war game] that uses a killing game as a camouflage and appearance...a [war game] that pays attention to incitement.
It will have a clear dividing line - until the second body dies, everyone tends to be defensive; after the second body appears, everyone else starts to tend to kill.
Under strategic deterrence, everyone will not act rashly. Whoever acts first will be the target of public criticism.
But if everyone starts to act, those who do not act will become "sheep". At that time, in order not to be persecuted, everyone would have to forcibly switch sides with blood on their hands, and the situation would immediately become chaotic.
In order not to let the "wolves" eat more "sheep" and become fatter, the civilians must be protected. At this time, the civilians are the card with the highest status; but after the war begins, the sheep will be eaten in the shortest time. Light, at this time civilians are the most dangerous card.
The victory condition of this game is not how to hide one's own identity and how to see through the identity of others.
It's about people with ulterior motives, how to make other people unstable, and how people who want to maintain order persuade everyone to stay sane.
How to control the heart, how to set off a trend——
- Or, how to incite and prevent war.
So... this will be a ritual about "war".
