Sky-excelling witch, night-slaying three wolves

Chapter 13 legendary genius

"Player 9's speech is concluded. Please, Player 11, speak."

While Player 9 was speaking, Player 11, Fei Yu, frowned tightly, seemingly deep in thought. When it was his turn, he glanced intently at Player 9 before beginning:

"I will stand by Player 12. I believe Player 12 is the real Prophet, and Player 4 is a Werewolf.""After hearing Player 4's speech during the police phase, I already marked him as a Werewolf in my mind.""Regarding Player 9's speech—he actually accused Players 6 and 8 of being Werewolves.""I really can't understand this logic. It even made me doubt if I'd chosen the wrong side.""If Player 9 weren't Player 12's gold water, I'd definitely label him a confirmed Werewolf.""But since Player 12 is the Prophet I recognize, and Player 9 is the gold water of my *** Prophet, I must consider Player 9's good side.""Someone who seems too suspicious to be suspicious—after careful thought, I don't think Player 9 is a Werewolf.""Imagine if Player 9 and Player 12 were Werewolf teammates.""If Player 12 gave Player 9 a gold water as a trick during the police phase, would Player 9, as a Werewolf, make such a suspicious speech off-police?""No, absolutely not!""No Werewolf would operate like this, so Player 9 isn't a Werewolf.""Accepting Player 9 as good, then rethinking his logic, I considered one possibility.""Player 9's identity is likely the Witch!""Only if Player 9 is the Witch would he so confidently attack Players 6 and 8 as dual Werewolves and accept Player 5 as the Miracle Merchant.""So, Player 9—are you the Witch?""If you are, you should openly reveal yourself and give us clarity.""You're Player 12's gold water. Don't fear losing a confrontation with Player 6. Those of us standing by Player 12 will definitely believe you."

Listening to Player 9's speech, Ling Zuo could only mentally exclaim: Amazing!

What did Player 4 do to make everyone insist Player 12 is the Prophet?

Because Player 12 is the Prophet, Player 9 can't be a Werewolf.

To strengthen his own belief, Player 11 even invented a whole set of logic to defend Player 9.

He's even willing to label the Witch and Miracle Merchant—two confirmed Gods—as Werewolves!

After frowning in thought for so long, this is what he came up with. Maybe he shouldn't think so hard next time.

Fortunately, Player 11 is speaking last. If there were more players like him, I'd be labeled a confirmed Werewolf.

If I didn't know I'm the Witch myself, I might actually believe this nonsense.

Ling Zuo glanced at Players 7, 9, and 11, silently sighing.

Where there's a "**" (genius), there's often a "**" (prodigy).

Where both gather, a "***" (super genius) shall appear.

No wonder the good camp has such a low win rate—with all this overthinking, how can they win?

Unaware of Ling Zuo's thoughts, Player 11, Fei Yu, continued racing along his invented logic.

"Reexamining Player 9's off-police speech reveals much to analyze.""Player 9 identified Player 1 as the Witch—he probably recognized Player 1 as good and intentionally diverted the Werewolf's kill to Player 1.""If Player 9 could use the healing potion, he could save Player 1.""But I think this would be ineffective. The Werewolves would never believe it.""If Players 6 and 8 really are Werewolves, they'd definitely expose Player 9 as the Witch.""But there's a contradictory part in Player 9's logic I can't figure out.""Player 9 argued Player 2 faked being the Guard, meaning in his view, the real Guard is still alive.""So why wouldn't Player 9 reveal himself as the Witch, letting the Guard protect him? That would guarantee a safe night. Why use Player 1 as a decoy?""This makes me doubt Player 9 is the Witch.""Confusing!""If Player 9 isn't the Witch but just a good player messing around, his speech is purely disrupting our good perspective.""A normal good player's perspective should match mine: recognizing Player 5 as a Werewolf, with no reason to attack Players 6 and 8."

"Let me explain how a normal perspective would judge Players 5, 6, and 8.""Player 5 didn't claim to be the Miracle Merchant during the police phase, while Players 6 and 8 confirmed each other's identities.""In this case, when Player 5 claimed to be the Miracle Merchant in his last words, it's hard for outside good players to believe him.""So, in a normal perspective, Player 6 must be the Lucky Witch, Player 8 the Miracle Merchant, and Player 5 a Werewolf.""Unless Player 9 is the Witch, which would swap the identities of Player 5 with Players 6 and 8.""But since Player 9 hasn't clearly stated his identity, it's hard to determine who the real Witch and Miracle Merchant are.""Fortunately, this round is about choosing between the two Prophets.""We must vote between Players 4 and 12 today.""Accepting Player 9 as good, I'll definitely stand by Player 12.""I'm speaking to all good players: don't split votes. We must eliminate Werewolf Player 4 today.""As for the Witch and Miracle Merchant issue, we can judge from tonight's death information.""Because when Player 6 claimed to be the Witch, he clearly stated he'd save anyone eliminated outside.""So if Player 9 dies tonight, Player 6 is definitely a Werewolf and Player 9 the real Witch.""Conversely, if Player 6 dies tonight, he's the real Witch and Player 9 just a good player messing around.""If it's a safe night, we can also listen to Player 9's updated speech to clarify if he's the Witch."

"Finally, I'll list my suspected Werewolves.""If Player 9 is the Witch, the Werewolves are Player 4, 6, 8, plus one more from the off-police Players 2, 3, 7, and 10.""If Player 9 isn't the Witch, the Werewolves are Player 4, 5, plus two more—with at least one among the four off-police players.""Either way, the off-police players are a hot zone.""With Players 2 and 10 already eliminated, I suggest Prophet Player 12 inspect either Player 3 or 7 from the remaining.""I'm a good player standing by Player 12, and I'll vote to eliminate Player 4 today."

After this lengthy speech, Player 11, Fei Yu, satisfactorily clicked the stop button to end his turn.

Upon hearing Player 11's speech, Player 12, Liu Lang, felt his heart surge—everything suddenly seemed bright.

With my open perspective, knowing Player 9 is truly good, I couldn't think of a way to defend him.

Yet you, with a closed perspective, invented a whole logic to explain why Player 9 isn't a Werewolf. Amazing!

I genuinely admire you!

More importantly, an outside player defending Player 9 is far more effective than me doing it.

I'm already deeply tied to Player 9. Even with good logic, the good players might not believe me.

A situation that seemed hopeless is suddenly revitalized. What a relief!

Players 6 and 8 are determined to stand by Player 4—I can barely win them over.

Players 7, 9, and 11 clearly support me. As long as my speech satisfies them, I'll get these 3 votes.

With my police badge worth 1.5 votes, I only need one more vote to eliminate Player 4.

The remaining Players 1 and 3 actually lean toward me, just not firmly.

There's a good chance to win them over!

I must give my best speech to prevent the good camp's Spring Victory.

Player 9's speech nearly pushed Player 12 into the abyss, but Player 11's speech pulled him back.

With his open perspective, Player 12 regained confidence, but the commentators and audience—with only Ling Zuo's perspective—grew increasingly confused.

Player 9's absurd logic was one thing, but Player 11 added another layer.

And both firmly stood by Player 12, making people suspect their relationship.

"Player 11 actually suggested Player 9 is the Witch. Unexpected," commentator Agu said helplessly.

"Now I think Players 9, 11, 12 are Werewolves, plus Player 5—that's all four," commentator Xiaoyi shared her view.

"Players 5, 9, 11, 12—four Werewolves charging openly?" Agu sounded doubtful: "Doesn't seem right."

"Who do you think will be eliminated—Player 4 or 12?" Xiaoyi asked Agu.

"The situation is too confusing. Either could be eliminated," Agu couldn't decide: "Depends on Player 12's final speech."

"Ling Zuo remains resolute—he won't listen to Player 12, determined to vote him out!" Xiaoyi laughed.

"Indeed," Agu nodded.

While the commentators discussed, the audience joined in.

"Player 11's logic is truly impressive!""After Player 9, another shocking speech!""Players 9 and 11 singing in harmony—what a stretch.""I almost cried listening to them. Finally, they're done.""If I couldn't see Player 6's real identity, I might actually believe Player 9 is the Witch, haha!""Only Player 12 left to speak. I can't wait to see the final votes.""Before Players 9 and 11 spoke, I thought Player 4 was doomed. Now it's uncertain.""After hearing Player 9's speech, Player 12 must have been devastated.""Player 12: Player 9, please stop!""Player 9: No, I must continue!""Player 11: Me too!""Player 12: ..."

In the spectator room, the three Werewolf players sighed in relief after hearing Player 11's speech.

"There's still hope," Player 5, Hui Jin, stared fixedly at the screen.

"Fortunately, Player 9 isn't speaking last. Having Player 11 afterward makes it manageable," Player 10, Zhang Qiang, nodded.

"Now it depends on how many players Player 12 can convince," Player 2, Nie Pan, stretched his fingers.

"Trust Player 12. He can do it," Player 10, Zhang Qiang, had confidence in his teammate.

"Go for it!" Watching Player 12 prepare to speak, Player 5, Hui Jin, silently cheered him on.

At the venue, players reacted differently to Players 9 and 11's speeches, waiting to hear Player 12's response.

"Player 11's speech is concluded. Please, Player 12, speak."

Player 12, Liu Lang, knew this was his last chance. He immediately raised his energy to the maximum.

"Police badge inspection order: check 3 then 1. I'm the Prophet. Player 4 is a bluffing Werewolf.""Player 9 is my gold water. I don't know if he's the Witch, but I'm certain he's good.""Before my gold water spoke, I thought Player 5 was a confirmed Werewolf.""Based on Player 5's police speech, he could hardly be the Miracle Merchant.""But after hearing my gold water's speech, I'm less certain.""If my gold water really is the Witch, then Players 6 and 8 are definitely Werewolves, and Player 5 the real Miracle Merchant.""However, since my gold water hasn't clearly claimed to be the Witch, I can't directly condemn Players 6 and 8, even though they firmly stand by Werewolf Player 4."

"Regarding Players 6 and 8, I'll speak to you once: if you're truly good, please reconsider and join me to eliminate bluffing Werewolf Player 4."
