Chapter 7 The calm before the storm

The village chief seemed to have aged a lot in an instant. One second he looked like a young man, and the next second he turned into an old man. Shen Feng couldn't accept this contrast.

"Village Chief, are you okay?" Shen Feng asked with some confusion.

Although the village chief is only an NPC, I usually receive a lot of attention from the village chief, so it would be better to ask.

The village chief sighed and waved weakly, "When you and Yu Xi leave the village and come to my place, I will give you something."

After saying that, the village chief returned to the room with the wild boar carcass. Shen Feng saw that the village chief's back was extremely lonely.

The players who got the clues immediately began to investigate the village. The players' passion was ignited again, making the village not very peaceful.

The players began to exchange information, some of which were inconsequential, and some of which surprised the players. Among them, the strongest skill in the village - the control of objects, was the most shocking.

"I heard that after upgrading the object control technique, you can not only control objects, but also wild monsters!"

"Is it so powerful! Where can I learn this object control technique?"

"I heard that you can learn from the village chief, but it's expensive. It costs 1,000 copper coins!"

Information flows between players very fast. According to the news received in the morning, many people appeared in front of the village chief's house in the afternoon to learn the art of controlling objects.

But for some reason, the village chief did not teach anyone the art of controlling objects. Instead, he dismissed everyone and returned to the room alone.

The players did not take this matter to heart, but continued to do their own things, investigating the village in full swing.

night.

A large number of players have gathered in the square. There is still one day and one night left until the end of the countdown. Now they have no clue and can only get together to discuss.

Xiao He looked at everyone and said first, "I investigated people who like to run around at night. There is only one Zhang San. I followed him before. He often goes into the forest at night, but I don't know what he does." Xiao He He waved his hands helplessly.

After Xiao He finished speaking, his sister Xiao Shen began to answer, "As for confusing people, I think I like to deceive people, so I."

Suddenly a discordant voice interrupted Xiao Shen's speech.

"Everyone should have played Werewolf before," it was the thin man who spoke.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, the thin man was obviously a little nervous, but he continued, "A werewolf hides his identity during the day, or misleads others, and will not take the initiative to admit that he is a werewolf, so I think this deceptive person is referring to It just misleads us.”

"If we follow what you said and want to use the second clue, we can only ask other people?" Xiao Shen asked.

The thin man nodded and said, "That's true, but don't forget, werewolves can confuse people's hearts, so why can't they tell us the real information?"

After hearing what the thin man said, everyone felt frightened.

"That's true! Werewolves don't need to tell us whether they eat meat or whether they can go out at night, and we can only find out by asking other NPCs or following people." Some smart players began to speak enthusiastically, and the evening symposium became more and more intense.

"Why don't you go back so late?" I don't know when the village chief appeared in the square and said angrily, "It's not safe with werewolves at night. Go back to your room quickly."

Everyone had no choice but to make arrangements to discuss it together tomorrow morning. Now they could only listen to the village chief and go back to the room.

After returning to the room, Shen Feng sat at the table, took out a piece of paper and wrote down all his clues on the paper.

1. Werewolves like night activities

2. Werewolves are good at deceiving people.

3. Werewolves are cunning in nature and good at disguise.

As for the fourth point, Shen Feng hesitated, "The clue I got is that werewolves like to eat meat, but the village chief provided that werewolves don't like to eat meat. Is there any problem with this?"

"From the large number of bones in the caves of the male wolf and the wolf tribe, it can be inferred that werewolves must like to eat meat," Shen Feng recalled the scene at that time. This was indeed the case. "Maybe the village chief was old and remembered it wrong."

Shen Feng brushed the matter aside and decided to go to the village chief's wife tomorrow to ask for other information.

The next day, the last day of countdown!

The players gathered in the square early in the morning to continue the discussion last night. They decided to use the morning for discussion, start the investigation in the morning, exchange intelligence at noon, and identify the suspect in the afternoon!

Shen Feng did not attend the early morning symposium this time. He went to the village chief's home alone.

"Madam of the village chief, I would like to ask a question."

Shen Feng's expression was a little serious. The village chief had taken a lot of care of him, but he still wanted to know about the village chief's past to see if he could find out why the village chief had inexplicably changed yesterday.

"Is there anything I can do for you, Mr. Shen?" The village head's wife replied as she made a cup of tea for Shen Feng.

"I want to know about the village chief's past."

The village chief's wife paused when she heard Shen Feng's words, and her eyes began to turn red. "The village chief used to wander here, and all his family members were killed by werewolves. I took him in."

The village chief's wife did not give a long speech, but directly told the village chief's worst experience. Although Shen Feng was speechless, she still achieved her goal.

"Is this the reason why the village chief urges us to go back to our rooms early every night?" Shen Feng asked puzzledly.

"It's like this. In the past, when there were wolves howling, the village chief would tell everyone not to run around. Over time, everyone developed the habit of not running around at night."

After saying goodbye to the village chief's wife, Shen Feng came to the place where the players were discussing again.

"That's it. Let's ask about the situation first in the morning, and try not to ask repeatedly, so as to ensure authenticity." Xiao Shen clapped his hands, finally settling the matter.

"Then let's exchange information here at noon."

"good!"

"good!"

Shen Feng came a little late. The players had already finished the discussion, and it was impossible for him to hold someone back and ask again now.

At noon, dark clouds began to gather above the village, and it was so dark that people felt uncomfortable.

"Through inquiry, I learned that these people like to run around at night: Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Er, Mazi." Xiao He first told his information.

The thin man went on to say, "I found these villagers who don't like to eat meat: Li Si, Zhang San, and Ergou."

"About people who love liars, that is, people who like to deceive villagers: Li Si, Wang He, and Lin Zi." Xiao Shu added.

"Do you have any other candidates?" Xiao He asked

Everyone shook their heads. The information they received was the same as this.

Xiao He slapped his palm on the stone and frowned, "Li Si is the only one who meets the three conditions. Now it is basically certain that Li Si is a werewolf! Let's go and guard Li Si tonight!"

The darkened sky began to rain lightly, which seemed to indicate that something big was coming.

Everyone discussed the corresponding countermeasures, fighting methods and possible emergencies.

But Shen Feng was still a little dissatisfied with this inference, "It feels like something is wrong."

"All players please note that there are still three hours left before the main mission: Werewolf in the Village starts."

"Method to complete the mission: Kill the werewolf when it appears. Note that the werewolf cannot be killed when it turns into a villager. Otherwise, the mission will fail."
