After hearing Lin Tian's speech, No. 7 wanted to jump up and kiss him.
Following No. 3's dramatic antics, No. 7 had been utterly stressed. In this situation, who wouldn't side with No. 2? If he claimed Seer, he'd get instantly lynched. But staying silent wasn't his style either.
Amid the gloom, Lin Tian's words felt like a faint glimmer of hope. No. 7 remained slightly cautious, but after analyzing the situation, he realized that if he were a wolf, pushing hard for a "wolf teammate" to defect would be more beneficial. After all, small wolves don't need to mock their own allies to undercut them.
Listening to No. 6 (Lin Tian), No. 7 felt like he'd met a genius. Even he couldn't find flaws in No. 2's speech. With No. 3's theatrics, everyone's focus had shifted away from scrutinizing No. 2.
Collecting himself, No. 7 began:
"I'm the Seer. No. 4 is confirmed good. No. 12 and No. 8 are next in line for checks.
My reasoning is simple: No. 4 locked eyes with me during setup, glaring like he was trying to read my role, so I checked him. Turns out he's good. My sheriff badge strategy targets No. 12 first, since wolves in the non-speaking group might rally votes there.
No. 2, the fake Seer, pressured No. 10, likely to trick No. 10's vote. But it could also be a wolf gambit. So I'll check No. 12—either No. 10 or No. 12 will be exposed. Then No. 8, for the reasons No. 6 mentioned. His logic holds, so I trust him as good."
After Lin Tian's analysis, No. 7 fully trusted him. Only a highly skilled player could dissect speech patterns like that. No. 7 now saw Lin Tian as his strategist—with him, victory felt assured.
Lin Tian pitied this unlucky "Seer." In Werewolf, he preferred playing as a wolf—lying was easier than persuading stubborn villagers. Outsmarting others required more than sweet talk; it demanded exploiting their rigid logic. Good players rarely trusted him, especially after he'd fooled them before.
He hated being Seer—a thankless role. Win, and villagers took credit. Lose, and you got blamed. Plus, surviving past Day 2 was rare. Even alive, wolves would push to eliminate you.
"A Seer alive this long? Must be a wolf!"
No matter the game mode, someone always parroted this nonsense. Lin Tian admired No. 7's composure. Not only was the guy handsome, but his calm demeanor under pressure was impressive. That he'd dissected Lin Tian's speech so quickly? Either No. 7 was sharp or their thinking aligned perfectly.
"With most players soft-supporting No. 2 upfront, if No. 6 were a wolf, he wouldn't throw his teammate under the bus.
Current strategy: Check either No. 1 or No. 8, and No. 10 or No. 12. Honestly, No. 3's defection boosted No. 2's credibility as Seer. That makes me distrust No. 3.
If you're good, prove it by voting with me against No. 2. No. 3's one redeeming quality is that despite No. 2's strong fake Seer act, she claimed independence. I'll wait to see her vote.
No. 5 blindly supported No. 2—untrustworthy. If they keep clinging to wolves, they're marked as one.
No. 4 is my confirmed good. No. 6 is trusted. Nos. 8, 9, and 11: Analyze and declare your stance.
No. 4, I'm counting on your vote. You'll recognize me.
No. 4 is good. Sheriff badge strategy: No. 12 first, then No. 8. I hope to earn the badge."
No. 7's speech was tight, logical, and flawlessly delivered. Textbook Seer material. With this performance, securing the sheriff badge seemed likely.
As Lin Tian glanced up, he caught No. 7 staring at him… intensely. He double-checked his gender symbol—still correct. Why's this pretty boy eyeing me like that?
No. 7 recognized Lin Tian. Years ago, he'd watched Lin Tian rise as the "Wolf King" only to crash spectacularly. Now, it felt like the legend was back.
Live Chat Reactions:
"No. 7's speech screams 'Seer!'"
"No. 6 and 7 are wolves!"
"Nah, No. 7's a wolf. No. 6's just his hype man—classic wolf strategy."
"Wait, am I shipping them? 6 and 7 have chemistry!"
[No. 8 Player's Speech]
"I'm good. Both Seers? 60-40 leaning toward No. 2.
No. 2 checked neighbor No. 3—solid. But No. 7 checked No. 4 two seats away because they 'made eye contact'? Flimsy reasoning. A real Seer wouldn't leave such an opening.
No. 3's speech felt genuine. Supporting No. 7? Impossible.
No. 6's critique of No. 2 was nitpicking. No. 2 probably checked No. 8 because they seemed harder to read than No. 1.
No. 7 checking No. 4 (a non-speaker) feels sketchy—like he's fishing for the badge. Not buying it."
