Un-edited so please don’t kill me if you find anything wrong, please gently commenting so I can fix it.
Thank you.

The clock struck eight times, but everyone was sitting still at the long table, no one got up.

There are dark circles hung under Yang Song’s eyes.
She doesn’t wear any foundation so the blemishes such as small scars and acne marks were all exposed, combined with her dishevel hair, making her look haggard.

“It’s eight o’clock…” Ding Zihui hesitated and stop talking.

Everyone looked out the door together, wondering if the remaining people would come back.
On the contrary, Liu Xin is the one with the least psychological burden.
He swiped his card eagerly, sat in a hurry and brimmed with energy.

“No need to wait,” he smiled slightly while playing with the watch on his left wrist.
“They won’t come back.”

“Shut up!” Yang Song glared at him, “You are definitely voted wolf today.
If you run away now, you can still live on this island for three days.”

Liu Xin tidied up his hair and said, still smiling: “Why should I run? I may not be the one who died today.”

Ding Zihui said softly: “Don’t make excuses.
We saw it last night.
You killed Li Sinian.”

“He jumped into the sea himself, what can I do, don’t blame me,” Liu Xin straightened his cuffs and collar and gave a crooked smile, “obviously the witch has the antidote.”

His attire was very strange today.
Wearing a very stiff collared shirt on a hot and stormy day and shaved clean.
He was even more eye-catching than all the girls present.

Niu Xinyan and the boy remained silent.
Niu Xinyan sat frozen in her chair; a suspicious bruise hanging from the corner of her mouth, her hair loosely pulled back behind her head, a few strands of hair at her temples is loose, making her whole appearance looking haggard.

The long table, which used to be full of people, now only have five of them.

It is five minutes before the quarter past eight deadline.
Ding Zihui’s toes moved inside her shoes while Yang Song rubbed her fingers.

A muffled thunder rolled through the window with a crash, the curtains were swept by the wind and raised high, and the big crystal chandelier was blown around with a clattering sound.
Ding Zihui shivering, hugging herself.

Liu Xin looked up and smiled eerily: “There are others, don’t worry.”

Don’t know what was wrong with the chandelier, but it flickered twice.
Combined with the lightning and thunder rolling outside the window, it made people feel more desperate and scared.
The entire villa is like a lone boat in the vast ocean, swaying around in wind and rain, and the hull is in jeopardy.

Suddenly there was a voice from upstairs.

Everyone looked up to see the couple walking down the stairs, one after the other, both with the usual gloomy expressions on their faces.

“Are you in the house?” Yang Song turned around, “Why are you only coming down now? We are worried thinking something happen to you.”

The two swipe their cards; Du Wei lowered his head, said nothing and sat down in silence.
Chen Hui smiled and said to Yang Song, explained: “Overslept.” Then she sat down next to her boyfriend.

Seven people remain.

There was only one minute left until a quarter past eight and even Yang Song had given up waiting for Li Fang.* She sighed: “It’s too late, even if they come back, they can’t swipe the card…”

(T/N : Yes the author wrote it like that [连杨颂都熄了等李方二人的心, Lián yáng sòng dōu xīle děng lǐ fāng èr rén de xīn] so that is the official ship’s name I guess XD )

Not even a second pass after she finished, the heavy carved brass villa door was kicked open with great force, the fishy salty sea breeze wrapped in torrential rain instantly poured in, dampening everyone’s face.

She saw Fang Daichuan holding his ID card and rushing in as quick as a flash, followed by Li Sinian.

Without looking at other’s expressions, Yang Song pushed aside the table and stood up, pointing to the machine and shouting: “Hurry! No time! Swipe!”

Fang Daichuan rushed to the machine and pressed his fingerprint.

Li Sinian followed closely.
He just took back his card when the clock upstairs struck “dang-“.

“Everybody open your eyes; it’s daytime.* There are currently 9 surviving players on the field.
Players, please take your place.” The machine said with electronically synthesized sound.

(T/N : This is a line from Werewolf game, the moderator are supposed to be the one who said this and this indicated the end of night round)

Li Sinian looked up and observed everyone’s expressions on the long table, but he had missed the timing.
Everyone withdrew their strange looks and hid their expressions well.
Li Sinian retracted his gaze, walked to the end of the long table, and gently pulled the chair.

“What happened to you?” Yang Song couldn’t hold back and ask, “After you jumped into the sea last night, we waited on the shore for a long time and didn’t see you come out.
I thought…”

Fang Daichuan and Li Sinian were drenched and covered with aquatic plants.
When Fang Daichuan lowered his head, he could smell a decaying smell coming from himself.
He rubbed his face and sighed: “It’s a long story…”

“Please take your seats!” shouted the loudspeaker.
Fang Daichuan didn’t know what to say anyway.
What happened last night was too tortuous to be explained in a few words.
He sat down heavily on the chair and stopped talking.

The machine read: “Du Chaosheng died last night, please speak from the left side of the deceased.”

Du Chaosheng’s left is Chen Hui.

Chen Hui lowered her head to play with the tablecloth, her expression was not very good, and Fang Daichuan could not tell what happened to her.
In last night’s shocking event, he hadn’t seen the couple from beginning to end and he didn’t know what happened between them.
Chen Hui kept silent.

“Speak.” Ding Zihui is softly encouraging.

Chen Hui slightly shook.
She whispered and said quickly: “I don’t know what happened, I didn’t kill Du Chaosheng.”

“Who cares about Du Chaosheng? Vote Liu Xin today!” Yang Song interrupted her, “We saw with our own eyes last night that Liu Xin poisoned Li Sinian and Fang Daichuan saved Li Sinian.”

Fang Daichuan couldn’t help but nod.
Although Li Sinian insisted last night that he should not vote for Liu Xin, Fang Daichuan was irritated when he saw Liu Xin’s face.
Scenes from last night replaying in his mind.
Liu Xin laughed wildly and injected a venom into Li Sinian’s ankle.

I don’t care whether he is a wolf or not, Fang Daichuan gritted his teeth and thought. Let’s vote him out first. Thinking like that, he glanced at Li Sinian.

Li Sinian is playing with the pen cap.

He pushed the cap gently with his right hand middle finger, pushing it off and on, pushing it off and on, making a thud sound.

When thinking, people will subconsciously have some repetitive actions, such as shaking legs, rubbing fingers, or rotating pens.
Fang Daichuan glanced at him, Li Sinian should be thinking fast. The book in front of him was spread out but it was blank.
Fang Daichuan asked himself if his brain is not as good as Li Sinian.
The book spread out in front of Fang Daichuan was full of handwriting that only he could read.

Li Sinian’s pen and book have not been moved, they have always been in his seat.
When other people listened to everyone’s speeches, they would inevitably write down one or two things.
Some carried the notebook with them, and some will write a lot just to tore the paper afterward.
Only Li Sinian relied on his own brain to remember everyone’s actions and speeches.
There is nothing in the book.

What is he thinking? Fang Daichuan stared at Li Si’s long straight fingers, becoming distracted.
For some reason, he suddenly recalled his strong fingers on his wrist in the cold water.

He had been up almost all night, his strength had been depleted in two dives, all he could see before his eyes was the warmth of the man next to him in the sea, the firm grip of his fingers that would not let go, and the life-saving air coming in.

It was Li Sinian’s turn to speak, and Fang Daichuan quickly recovered from his daydreaming.

Li Sinian did not beat about the bush.
He went straight to the point: “I am the seer.
I checked Liu Xin last night, Liu Xin is in the villager faction.”

His words making chain reaction, the girls looked at each other, then looking at him in disbelief.

Li Sinian firmly said: “Yesterday an old lady was voted wrong and now the villager faction can no longer afford to lose more people.
If today you vote for the wrong person, it will be harder to vote for a wolf during the day.
Don’t screw this vote.
Believe me; Liu Xin is in the villager faction.”

(T/N : Poor Boss Du, nobody seems to care about him…except for the murderer of course)
