Chapter 176
Mo Aman possessed extremely strong mimicry skills. She could not only mimic inconspicuous passersby, but also mimic shining stars.
When she changed her face, even her personality would change accordingly. This was why she had never exposed her true self before.
After Mo Aman put on a new face, she looked around. Indeed, from the moment Shen Yue had asked her how long it would take for her to change her face, she had not sensed any danger in her surroundings.
Mo Aman spoke up. Her voice had already changed from that of a random passerby who could be easily forgotten, into a lively... No, an enchanting and sexy noblewoman's voice.
Shen Yue stared fixedly at Mo Aman's chest, rarely showing some surprise. "Can you make that bigger too?"
Mo Aman's face flushed slightly in embarrassment. "They only look bigger, if you touch them the trick will be revealed."
Shen Yue gazed at Mo Aman's chest, deep in thought, as if he understood something.
Just as Mo Aman thought Shen Yue was about to reach out his hand, Shen Yue had already shifted his gaze away, murmuring to himself, "Light and shadow can directly deceive the eyes."
Mo Aman, who had been awkwardly covering her chest, suddenly realized that she was the presumptuous one. Shen Yue's mental capacity was indeed beyond what an ordinary person like her could comprehend.
In order to conceal her awkwardness, Mo Aman could only uncomfortably divert the topic in a coquettish tone, "Uh, Boss, how do you determine if Zuo Yikongjie is a wolf? If he is a wolf and we directly expose ourselves we'll be in danger, right?"
Shen Yue paused for a moment when he heard the term "Boss". Oh well, "Boss" did sound better than "Queen".
"A person's subconscious is not restricted by subjective thinking. Specifically, this manifests as involuntary micro-expressions of the human body. Although most people in prison know this and deliberately avoid it, when a person encounters an unexpected situation, their body language will definitely not lie."
Shen Yue did not finish speaking, but Mo Aman already understood.
This was clearly using her life to test Zuo Yikongjie's identity.
Her appearance was that of Zuo Yikongjie’s favorite idol. When the idol suddenly appeared alive in front of him, he would surely be caught off guard.
Zuo Yikongjie's reaction in that moment would be the most authentic. Shen Yue could then accurately determine Zuo Yikongjie’s identity based on that information.
If Zuo Yikongjie was not a wolf, they would persuade him to form a team. If he was a wolf, they would continue looking for the next team member, then surround and wipe out Zuo Yikongjie.
This game was not about werewolves hunting, but hunting werewolves.
But werewolves would have special weapons, so more pawns were needed just to be safe. In the past werewolf killing games, forming a team successfully was almost unheard of. The biggest reason was that the opaqueness of the werewolves' identities led to mutual suspicion among the criminals involved.
The rapport and trust cultivated during the period in the newcomers’ building was negligible to begin with. Let alone when everyone had unclear identities, only fighting was the best way to survive.
Even if several mutually trusting people formed a team, with high tension levels sustained over the exhausting three days, balance would still be disrupted by a strand of stray hair, leading to ultimate destruction.
In addition, some selected people had different privileges. Once someone discovered those privileges, danger would arise too.
When the privileged died, their privileges would transfer to their killer. This was a rule known to all privileged persons.
That meant, the more one killed and plundered, the stronger one would become.
This was a game of raising Gu worms hidden beneath the werewolf killing games.
The Gu worms could only cease their mutual devouring when they became the final Gu King, rising over the rest.
But there was one exception to this. If there was already a Gu King to begin with, the other Gu worms would stop fighting. Instead they would follow and serve him.
The current Mo Aman was like this. Although her first reaction was that Shen Yue was staking her life on this, on the contrary, she was not angry at all, only curious.
"What should I do if he is a wolf?"
"Who are you?"
Mo Aman froze. Shen Yue already knew who she was, he had just called her by name a moment ago...
Then Mo Aman suddenly understood. "I am Suzuki Ai."
Shen Yue nodded. "Even if he is a wolf, with your experience you should definitely be able to survive under him. You need to buy me time to find the next chess piece to come meet up with you. We'll snatch Zuo Yikongjie’s privileges."
Only then did Mo Aman realize Shen Yue was not merely testing Zuo Yikongjie. He was determined to succeed.
Such persistence probably wasn’t only due to him missing breakfast.
Also...
"Boss, do you still need other people?"
"Of course. It's necessary for victory."
Mo Aman understood now.
If it were someone else, she might have mocked them for being overly ambitious. Wanting to gather different desperate criminals together? But if it was Shen Yue, she found it reasonable.
Clearly, she had only met Shen Yue for less than an hour. Yet, she already believed him so deeply.
"Alright Boss, I’ll do it."
A rare smile pulled at the corner of Shen Yue's mouth. He gently told Mo Aman those words. "Don't worry. I've always been very lucky." Mo Aman also smiled back.
She did not notice the complete lack of ripples in Shen Yue's eyes at that moment, only extreme calmness.
All along the way, Mo Aman kept judging the direction of the water source, while Shen Yue often chose their route after determining the direction.
The two of them did not encounter any other person along the way.
For this, Mo Aman was fully convinced.
And Shen Yue's mentioned Zuo Yikongjie also appeared by the lakeside.
At this time there was not only him, but another person. The two of them were fighting. Shen Yue pulled Mo Aman back a step, confirming that the earpieces on the two people ahead could not pick up their voices before saying, "Luck is good. Based on calculations, the probability of Zuo Yikongjie and Ai Bide meeting was only 30%."
Shen Yue patted Mo Aman's shoulder encouragingly. "Congratulations! You won't have to risk yourself anymore. We'll just wait here now."
Mo Aman was baffled by the encouragement. But she still nodded.
Going in for the finishing blow to seize their privileges after the two had fought each other badly was undoubtedly the best choice.
But at this moment, Shen Yue said instead, "It's confirmed, neither of them are wolves, but they both have privileges. In 8 minutes 27 seconds at most, three more people will come over consecutively. We need to find a chance in 5 minutes to interrupt them, then persuade them to join us in 2 minutes. Later when you see me make a move, come out with me.
You’re responsible for Zuo Yikongjie, I’ll handle Ai Bide."
Mo Aman reflexively responded, "Yes."
After answering, she reacted. Weren’t they supposed to kill both and directly seize their privileges? Why let them join?
Mo Aman had only thought this to herself and did not ask aloud, but Shen Yue seemed to see through her thoughts and explained directly, "The privileges of every person can only be utilized to the maximum by their original owners. For instance, even if I told you all the information I know, perhaps it would be of little use."
Mo Aman felt somewhat discouraged for no reason. But she also knew Shen Yue was right.
To apply information to this extent, perhaps only Shen Yue could do it.
Pouting sulkily, she responded, "I understand."
Shen Yue stared at Mo Aman's face, just staring at her, staring until Mo Aman grew increasingly uneasy.
"Boss... What's wrong with me?"
"So this is Suzuki Ai's personality? Judging from her looks I thought she would be more domineering."
Mo Aman heaved a sigh of relief. One hand unconsciously covered her fake chest. "No lah, Suzuki Ai is a coquettish and sexy beauty."
Shen Yue suddenly understood. "So that's how it is."
No wonder no man could resist the combination of sexy and cute.
Zuo Yikongjie, you have good taste!
