"Save him." Lu Shu nodded without hesitation.

Serena unscrewed the red cork.

"……Wait a moment."

There was a sudden sound outside the door.

Lu Shu turned around for a moment.

Su Mingan, who was supposed to die indoors, was standing outside the door, bathed in moonlight, looking at him.

"Wait a minute, travelers from the outside world. During this period, only designated priests can walk at night... Why are you not affected by the rules?" Selina looked extremely surprised, and the Sanskrit in her hand was glowing: "

If the stipulated time is not reached, it should be impossible to get out..."

"Because I am a character outside the rules." Su Mingan spread his hands: "I let the clone go out at the beginning, and only transferred the main consciousness after the main body died, so... now I should be regarded as an identityless person?

"

"What kind of rule is this?" Lu Shu still didn't understand it yet.

"Similar to a real werewolf."

Lu Shu looked at him blankly.

"Lu Shu." Salina called Lu Shu's name. The Sanskrit text on her hand was fading: "As [Witches], the time to act is coming. We must go back."

Lu Shu glanced at the scene in the room and clenched his fists: "Su Ming'an, who killed you?"

"The attackers were very well prepared. Their whole bodies seemed to be enveloped in black mist. The clones didn't even see who they were before they died... However, it is certain that there was more than one person." Su Mingan said.

"That's it." Sharina said: "[Witch] can only see the dead at night, but she can't know who the attacker is... Okay, the specific rules will be explained to you by the village chief during the day. Now,

Lu Shu, we must go back."

"Save me first?" Su Mingan said: "Annalena told me that the person on the ground was the one who got the identity. If he stays dead, my identity will be invalid."

"Annalena? Is your guide called this?" After receiving Lu Shu's permission, Salina unscrewed the cork of the antidote: "But before that, as a traveler from the outside world, I want to know who you are.

To judge the value of this rescue... If your identity is not a priest as precious as mine, it would be a pity to waste the only antidote..."

"I understand your concerns." Su Ming'an said with a smile: "I am - [Prophet]. Lu Shu, don't show such a confused expression. You will know its specific meaning tomorrow during the day."

"Prophet... that is indeed the most important identity." Serena nodded solemnly.

She knelt down and carefully sprinkled the liquid on the body of the clone. Then, light red fluorescence like fireflies floated up.

[Traveler No. 4, Lu Shu, is a witch. On the first night, you choose to use the antidote to revive Traveler No. 1, Su Ming'an.】

Lu Shu heard such a system prompt. It only appeared on his own interface. It seemed that it was directed at him.

"The guides don't know each other, and they can't see each other, just like spirits... Logically speaking, I won't be seen by anyone. But you, a traveler who has not obtained any identity, is an exception. You can actually see it.

Me." Selina watched as the red antidote was used up, and then took the empty glass bottle into her arms.

"Then I have a unique advantage." Su Mingan said with a smile: "I can see the leader of any one of you, can I identify the identity of any player?"

"The premise is that you want other players to believe you." Sharina said lightly: "Also, our guides will only appear at night and disappear during the day, unless you can find players who act at night."

She said and pulled Lu Shu up.

"Let's go, Lu Shu." Her movements carried an undeniable force. Lu Shu wanted to say a few words to Su Ming'an, but was involuntarily pulled away by the dim light.

The wooden door was closed in front of him. Su Mingan looked at the clone that had just been resurrected and got up from the ground, and showed a subtle smile.

…

[First day·Daytime]

The morning light slowly poured into the wooden house, coating the simple furnishings with a shiny golden edge. It was instantly awakened to life, and the footsteps of many people walking on the road could be heard outside.

As early as at night, Su Ming'an took advantage of his ability to go out at will and walked around the entire village. He didn't find anything wrong - if you don't count the environment that was so quiet that everyone seemed to be dead.

All the houses had no windows, only a closed wooden door. He tried to open the door with annihilation, but he got a system prompt saying "This building cannot be destroyed".

He also tried to wait on the road to see if any other players came out of the house like Lu Shu, but there was no one. The moment Serena and Lu Shu stepped out of their house, their figures also instantly

It disappeared, and he chased it out of the house, only to see an empty, dead road.

"Sure enough, even if it is a little convenient, you still can't see other people's movements at night..." Su Mingan thought like this, and explored around the village. He found that the edges of the village were blocked by invisible air walls, and he could not walk.

go out.

But strangely, when the operation was about to end, he noticed a house that was larger than the other houses. When he wanted to enter, the prompt he received was not that he could not enter, but:

[This building is currently unavailable, please come at a different time.]

"What is the unavailable state... used for?" Su Mingan thought, looking at the tasks on his system panel:

[World name: Trilee Town]

[Basic mission for all players: Win the camp.]

[Perfect clearance (note: perfect clearance of this world does not affect the acquisition of the source of the world): Infer the secret of Trili Town. 】

In addition, due to his status as the "power holder", there is an additional task on his interface:

[Those in power: Exile the evil NPC Jasmine and let her be exposed and expelled in front of all the townspeople.]

[Task reward: The identity of "the person in power" becomes regular. 】

[Punishment for mission failure: taking back the identity of "the one in power."]

Because of the identity of this person in power, even if the perfect clearance of this world does not affect the source of the world, he may still need to fight for it.

...As for this NPC "Jasmine", let's go look for it during the day.

Su Ming'an had already adjusted the perspective of the live broadcast room to himself. All the actions of the clone were invisible to the audience. They could only see that he was wandering around the village with a somewhat scary environment throughout the night, looking for something that had no results.

clues.

【I want to see the clone's perspective!!!】

[Brother Ming An is really a prophet?? Why do I feel like he is lying to me...]

[Of course he is a prophet! If he is a bad person, will he die in the night? Use your brain, okay? 】

[What is a prophet? What is a witch? Why do you all seem to know the rules...]

[Brother Ming'an, why don't you let us see the clone's perspective... I don't want to see this dark village, it's so scary...]

[Brother Lu Shu really jumped to the rescue immediately, he really didn’t consider any other factors...]

[The look in Lu Shu’s eyes when he saw the first player dead was so terrifying. At that time, I even suspected that he was about to turn black.jpg]

[At least it is certain that Brother Lu Shu is a witch. I feel that no matter what Su Mingan’s identity is, with the support of a witch, he has won half the battle...]

[It’s hard to say... I feel that except for Lu Shu’s support for Su Ming’an, other players are a bit hesitant...]

【……】

The morning light shone into the village, and it was daytime.

After finding nothing all night, Su Ming'an was standing at the foot of the back hill in the town, preparing to go up the mountain to take a look. He felt movement on the clone's side, and quickly transferred the control and live broadcast angle.

…

"Dong dong dong."

There was a gentle knock on the wooden door, and the clone opened the door, which had no cracks at all, with his eyes open after not sleeping all night.

There was a creaking sound from the wooden door. Standing outside the door was a hunched old man with a kind face. He was wearing an ocher red robe and was leaning on a cane with a dragon head carved on it. His figure looked a little shrunken.

Seeing Su Ming'an open the door, he looked over slowly with friendly eyes:

"Hello outside travelers, I am the mayor of the town... The day has arrived, I wonder if you had a good night's rest... Huh? Wait, you seem to be a little different from the other eleven travelers...

"The mayor stared at him for a while, and then his smile became more real: "...Although I don't know why, I think you are trustworthy. Outside travelers, your features and eyes really look like my child.

Pori…”

Su Ming'an understood. This was due to the improvement of the NPC's favorability as a [person in power].

"I really want to tell you the story of the village... But now is not the time to chat, dear traveler... Every day, a meeting is held in the village. Several other players have already notified you. You should have been allowed to

You are looking for a place, but for now, I will take you there first."

The mayor walked away shakily, leaning on the cane, and Su Ming'an quickly followed.

As soon as he went out, he saw that the door of the opposite house was already open... Not only the opposite house, but also the houses that were as silent as tombstones at night. Their doors were all open, and the bright sunshine poured in, turning the originally dead and dilapidated houses

The village was dyed golden.

This seemed to be the edge of the town, like a separate area with twelve independent houses. He noticed that his house had a 1 on it, while other houses were marked with 2 to 12.

The doors of those houses were all open, and there was no one inside. Su Mingan seemed to be the last one to be notified. When the mayor took him to the central square with slow steps, the other eleven players were already in the square.

Waiting for a while.

He noticed that there was a long, mahogany table in the square, with a candlestick and twelve identity cards marked 1-12.

However, the identity card looks like the underworld, like a tablet, and there are even dried blood stains on the edge.

Beside the long table was an extremely eye-catching, tall ocher-red long pole, with a noose hanging on it. The size of the noose was about the same as a person's neck, making Su Mingan vaguely guess what it was for.
