One building after another collapsed.
The man hid under the cellar, not daring to lift even a crack, fearing to be discovered by the monster outside.
"I've been strengthened by the Werewolf Card, my strength is at the peak of Tier Eight, I can even fight Tier Seven. But this bastard... this bastard's power is clearly abnormal!"
The man murmured resentfully in his heart.
No need for him to say.
The ability to punch down a building in two or three hits, terrifying reflexes, physical speed, recovery abilities, and Blood Qi that shows no sign of depletion...
This person is a walking beast.
"Damn it, if three of us were here, we could forcibly kill this monster."
The man gritted his teeth.
In the werewolf team, they ensure efficiency by acting separately.
Whoever finds a good person first starts hunting right away, aiming to shorten the Black Night and the exploration span of the good people.
Because they can contact each other at any time and know each other's locations.
On top of that, enhanced by the Werewolf Card.
The wolf team doesn't consider this dangerous; if they can't fight, they just have to hold out until reinforcements arrive.
An individual werewolf cannot kill indiscriminately.
Because this belongs to blade splitting...
In the werewolf killing rules, blade splitting randomly selects one person to die, but now, blade splitting means werewolves need a solo kill.
No support arriving is no good now.
Two team members must arrive simultaneously to use werewolf abilities to forcibly kill him, avoiding prolonged danger.
"Why aren't they here yet..."
The man was anxious, suddenly feeling the ground tremble, the cellar cover violently lifted, dim sunlight pierced through the black clouds, shining on his face.
Baiyu casually crushed the cover into scrap iron, threw it, standing at the cellar entrance: "Want me to invite you up?"
The man was lying with limbs severed, chest heaving like a bellows.
In that minute, he suffered unimaginable torture, methods Baiyu recently studied.
After the He Chenghai incident.
He felt he needed significant improvement in negotiation, so he requested a set of interrogation methods from Pang Fei at the Armed Department.
No wonder they say professionals are efficient, it's unbelievably so.
"Four werewolves total, twelve-person game, aligns with my previous guess. Not mentioning teammates' appearances, is there some restriction?"
Baiyu murmured softly sitting on rubble.
Through interrogation, he obtained two valuable pieces of information: first, there are four werewolves, each acting solo for hunting efficiency.
Second, werewolves can force-kill other players.
But it requires over half the total number of werewolves present.
For example, four werewolves need three present to kill a player outright.
Even two must both be present for forced killing.
In a lone werewolf situation, the opponent is unbeatable at night, able to kill instantly upon sight.
"This is troublesome. If we identify the werewolves, vote two out during the day, then have Duan Yiren kill the last one with poison at night."
The opponent cannot disclose any feature information about other werewolf teammates.
Speaks of this knowledge leads to automatic sound suppression, Baiyu hears it as "Thud—".
This ancient castle owner's handling is void of artistry.
The method leaves no loophole; if interrogation worked, the game would lose its fun.
For Baiyu and others, it's a fight for life.
But for the castle owner, it might be merely a game.
"Seems your teammates won't be coming."
Baiyu waited a moment.
The man on the ground lost breath completely, dead as can be. A ball of light gathered, a pure white medicinal pill emerged.
Baiyu felt a fragrant scent enter his nostrils.
Beside the blood stains from the corpse formed small words, explaining the pill's origin.
"Longevity Pill, extends life by ten years, reward for solo killing a werewolf."
The small words in the blood faded.
Baiyu stowed the medicinal pill, realizing killing a werewolf comes with a reward.
This time his target was the life-extending elixir.
However, joining the game doesn't allow mid-exit, Baiyu can only continue ahead now.
"This is really fighting for dear life."
Longevity Pill, extends life by ten years, such an elixir's effect is unheard of. Yet Baiyu doubted the master would produce a fake.
The rank and style wouldn't tolerate this.
Those entering the castle this time, mostly at the same strength level, judging by Blood Qi, most are Tier Eight Martial Artists.
This is Baiyu's confusion.
Spirit Realm tides essentially open hidden, peculiar realms for entry.
Entering isn't easy either.
Besides protection by the shelter spirit, certainly there are other unknown requirements for Baiyu.
Killing the werewolf didn't end the game.
Finished exploring the underground water prison.
He planned to explore the garden nearby.
He seemed to hear during daytime, a little girl's illusion crying in the park, Baiyu decided to check.
Though in the water prison earlier, the girl's shadow gave him a hard time, now Baiyu's interest in these linked illusions grew.
This seems tied to castle-related matters.
The garden vegetation is sparse.
The recent battle with the werewolf was likely the garden's only bearable structure cluster, now rubble.
Baiyu walked through the greenery.
Sequential water sounds began to echo, accompanied by the little girl's sobs.
Baiyu looked from afar.
The rockery's jagged stones, beside the fountain pond edge, the girl's shadow sat, crying, sounding like a lark.
With prior experience.
This time Baiyu didn't approach, instead observing the girl's shadow from afar, curious about any changes.
The shadow seemed to truly be just a shadow.
No abnormal situation.
Baiyu was about to approach for close observation when a swift arrow shot forth, a whistle sound, directly hitting Baiyu's heart position.
A man holding a longbow emerged from shadow, eyes viciously glaring at Baiyu.
The body he hit abruptly exploded, turning into paper fragments flooding the air.
