Chapter 478: 8.78 Ga Start*
Lu Yizhou furrowed his brow. Guests? He assud that it must be another role, but what did the system an by annihilate? Was it asking him to... kill? Moreover, the ship would even break apart on the seventh day?! The more he thought about it, the more he realized that this world was full of pits for him to jump into.
Could he escape from this ship? Lu Yizhou stood up and walked to the window. Goddamnit, the ship had already sailed to the middle of sowhere unknown. Everywhere he looked was a vast expanse of deep blue sea. He could not even see the signs of the mainland anymore. Escaping was not a chance then. Moreover, his lover must be sowhere on this cruise ship. Lu Yizhou had to find him first and foremost.
[666: Eh, 666 has never gotten the werewolf role before! This is so cool!]
Lu Yizhou was taken aback. [You have played this ga before?]
[666: Yes! 666 often played it with other systems when Host is busy hehe~]
The way 666 said the last word made Lu Yizhou reluctant to ask it to elaborate. He could already guess what 666 ant by that. It was good that 666 was familiar with the ga. At least he did not have to go around like a headless fly. Lu Yizhou sat on the side of the bed and checked his system profile.

Lu Yizhou had seen his own reflection in the window. Fortunately, he retained his original appearance (and real gender) in this quest, even his na was the sa.
His eyes zeroed in on the very low number of health. No wonder that he felt so uncomfortable. Last ti, the world had forcibly granted him a female body with low stamina and this ti, it was low health? He was lucky that he still had quite a lot of health potions from the previous quest’s reward. He took out one and drank it down in one gulp. Almost imdiately, the discomfort in his chest and stomach eased and he was filled with energy again.
Lu Yizhou keenly noted the difference between the two quests he had received. Last ti, there was a special column for ’familiar’ and now it had disappeared. Lu Yizhou was slightly surprised. [Ozzie is not here with us?] He tried to connect with her through the mind link only to receive no answer. It was like a rock that was sinking into the sea, not even a ripple could be seen.
[666: Yes, 666 also can’t reach her, Host! It seems like she has left this world and has not co back yet!]
Lu Yizhou nodded. He actually preferred it this way. For so reason, this world was much more dangerous than the others he had been through. Back then, Ozzie had fought the black witch Maureen and suffered quite a lot of injuries. Lu Yizhou knew she was powerful but he still could not bear to see his daughter be hurt. Perhaps she already t up with Cyrus and Luan by now. He only hoped that she was not so stubborn to co back here again.
First thing first, he checked the quest details to get an insight of this world.
[[Quest background: Titanic is one of the most luxurious cruise ships in the world. Remodelled after the famous ship ’Titanic’, it provides seven star service including but not limited to gourt cuisines, 4D theater, swimming pool, bar and lounge, etc. For the first launch, the tickets were sold out in less than ten minutes! The Captain has confidently declared before sailing that even though this cruise ship is nad after the one which had crashed into the iceberg, their fate will not be the sa! Modern Titanic will sail and conquer the sea for the next seven days! But... is that really the case?]]
[[Main quest (werewolf): Annihilate the guests. Remaining number of guests: 500]]
[[All skill cards will remain active.]]
Lu Yizhou was startled. This quest background was totally different than the one before. For instance, ’Terror in the Knox Family’ described, albeit vaguely, the mystery surrounding the family and not only that, he also received a side quest which gave him a direction on how he should act. But this ti... the quest background was very abstract and no side quest was presented which could offer him clues and potions as rewards. It only gave him a simple, straightforward command.
Annihilate the guests.
And also, the number of guests were so fucking large! He assud that there were other werewolves aside from him and 666, but to annihilate five hundred people? What kind of sickening ga was this?
There was a question mark next to the quest so Lu Yizhou clicked on that. It brought him to a simple introduction about the ’Werewolf Ga’.
In this ga, there were four crucial roles.
First, werewolves. They would wake up at night and hunt the guest. Every werewolf could kill one guest everyday but they could also choose to abstain. Important reminder: if a werewolf abstained from killing, then there would be consequences.
Second, doctors. Every night, the doctors could choose to heal one person, but they wouldn’t know the roles of the person they chose. They could also choose to heal themselves. Doctors were included in the guests camp. Important reminder: doctors weren’t allowed to save the werewolves otherwise their ability would be deactivated the next day.
Third, seers. Seers had the ability to see soone’s roles. However, it was only limited to one usage per night. With this ability, seers could guide the guests’ opinion to drive out the werewolves or they could also give a hint to the werewolves on whom they should kill at night. Werewolves aren’t allowed to kill seers because they were a neutral party.
Fourth, guests. They had the privilege to vote on whom they doubted were the werewolves. Once a werewolf was selected, then they would automatically be eliminated from the ga.
The ga alternated between night and day rounds. At night, the doctors would be given the first turn to choose the person they wanted to heal, after that the seers would peek at soone’s role, and in the end, werewolves would be given the tifra to choose their prey. The guests could only vote when morning arrived.
Lu Yizhou’s brows were knitted by the ti he finished reading the guide. Alright, he could more or less understand the rules. He was in the werewolf camp and to win, he had to kill all the guests. However, one werewolf could only kill one person every night. If the guest who was chosen by the werewolf coincidentally received the doctor’s healing, then they would live the next day.
On the other hand, seers could choose to join the werewolves camp or guests camp. Let’s say, if a seer joined the werewolves camp and they lost in the end, then the seers would also be eliminated. However, if the camp they joined ended up as the winner, then they would be riding along with the glory. Once a seer had chosen a camp, they weren’t allowed to change it again.
Lu Yizhou assud that the guests’ mission should be the opposite, that was to cast out all werewolves. As long as there were no werewolves left in the cruise ship, then they would be safe until the last day.
However, there were a few points Lu Yizhou could not fathom.
’Annihilate’, ’cast out’, ’eliminated’, ’consequences’, all of these words would sound ordinary if played in a normal setting. But Lu Yizhou knew better than anyone that nothing was normal in this world! He had no idea how many werewolves were in this ship, not to ntion whether they would be a bug acting as a spy within! Previously, Baines had hidden so deep that Lu Yizhou couldn’t ascertain his identity until he got to the cathedral. He was sure that if there was a bug in this ship, then they would also act the sa way!
[666: H–Host, aren’t you thinking too much about this...? Are you saying that the main quest ’annihilate the guests’ should be taken literally? But... But ’Werewolf Ga’ is originally a card ga! How can it—]
Before 666 could even finish its sentence, a sharp woman’s scream pierced through the air. "Help! Help! S–Soone has died!"
Lu Yizhou’s face abruptly changed. Before his brain could process, his body had already moved to the door. Fortunately, he had already consud the health potion earlier otherwise he would definitely feel sick again. There was a long hallway in front of him with rows of doors at both sides. After the scream, a few people had opened their doors and popped their heads out, inquiring.
"Did soone scream just now?"
"I was sleeping... What did she say?"
"I... I don’t know. It seems like... soone’s dead?"
"W–What did you say?!"
Taking advantage of his long legs, Lu Yizhou was one of the people who ran out the fastest. A small crowd had gathered near the swimming pool. Most of them were wearing bikinis or beach pants, clearly enjoying the service in the huge swimming pool. However, now they had completely disregarded the entertainnt and stared at a certain direction with horror.
The woman who scread earlier was crying now as she pointed, "I–I was just passing by when I saw him! Look... Look at him! He’s dead!"
Under the parasol, a man was lying on the folding chair. The small table beside him was filled with half-eaten plates of snacks and fresh juice. The picture would be completely normal if not for the man’s face that was frozen in a state of shock. His eyes bulged out so much they almost popped out of their sockets and his face was sickly blue. Blood trickled out of the corner of his lips.
Lu Yizhou sucked in a breath. It was clear that the man was poisoned.
At that mont, a notification rang out.
[[Remaining number of guests: 499.]]
The ga was already starting.
