(Mind games) (Crime) (Criminal investigation) (High IQ)
Werewolf expert Chen Mo had played countless games where he blindly poisoned the seer and won by boldly claiming to be one. Then he suddenly grasped the true essence of the game: it had nothing to do with logic, only persuasion. He was tired of manipulating people with words, until he accurately “poisoned” a werewolf player in one game. Dawn broke, and that player suffered a sudden heart attack in real life and died on the spot.
The criminal investigator who arrived to look into the case, Zhou Mu, was the senior Chen Mo admired, as well as another player who had seen through the true nature of the game. The autopsy report coldly stated that the victim’s heart was healthy. And the records of Chen Mo’s past games, pulled up by Zhou Mu, revealed a chilling pattern: every player who was “eliminated” in a game Chen Mo participated in soon suffered misfortune, and the severity kept increasing.
When Chen Mo finally realized that he could “see” the players’ sins and factions whenever he closed his eyes during a game, and that the “expulsion” he directed with his fingertip became a precise death sentence in the real world, a mysterious villain with the same power of “judgment,” but who purged evil through vigilante justice, had already turned the city into a chessboard.
The real-life game of Werewolf has officially entered the night.
Night falls. Close your eyes.
