Chapter 6 Who is the Last Thief?

  99 candles extinguished and re-lit, repeating in an endless cycle.

  When the candle was lit again, the figure of No. 5's obese mother emerged from the darkness. Only...

  No. 5, that stout woman, still silently staring at the bonfire in front of her with a dull expression.

  "Number 9 reported Number 7 for execution, and Number 7 is a civilian; now you come to report me for execution?"

  The woman in the white coat No. 6 was still icy, but this time she spoke a little longer: "No. 3 is a civilian certificate, and it's the most unquestionable to report and investigate the murder! No. 9 investigates, all votes for No. 9!"

  The campfire has never gone out, burning quietly.

  Looking at the 8 lanterns in front of him, An Yi let out a sigh and raised his hand to point at the lantern marked '6'.

  After doing all this, An Yi quietly looked on and waited quietly for the voting results.

  The speech is over, An Yi is now powerless. Just hope... others can hear the loopholes of No. 3 Li, don't believe his nonsense!

  $$The bonfire was rekindled and the voting results quickly appeared on that blank scroll.

  No. 6: No. 9, No. 10, No. 14 (3 votes)

  No. 9: No. 2, No. 3, No. 6, No. 13 (4 votes)

  Abstained: No. 1, No. 5

  The moment the voting results appeared, the figure of the No. 9 cheongsam girl emerged from the darkness.

  Snowflakes fell from the top of No. 9 Cheongsam girl's head, one after another... In the blink of an eye, snowflakes covered No. 9 Cheongsam girl's body.

  A root of frost began to appear gradually, hanging from the tip of the nose, earlobe and other parts of the No. 9 cheongsam girl.

  A beautiful way to die, but still death... The 9th dress girl was completely frozen into an ice stick.

  The "9" on the ground changed slowly and finally became a "衙" character.

  Looking around at the darkness that was closing in once again, An Yi fell silent.

  Originally had no desires or demands, but...

  Any wishes? Any wishes!

  When An Wei's desire for survival is ignited, what's laughable is that he will soon face the predicament of truly facing death!

  The "living" people on the scene now are only No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 5, No. 6, No. 10, No. 13, and An Yi himself, No. 14!

  Only 8! Just 8!

  Plus one who will be stabbed to death tonight, there are actually 7!

  Three of the yamen runners have been killed, but three thieves are still on the scene!

  Even if the only remaining yamen officer tonight is not killed, among the remaining 7 people, 1 yamen officer, 3 thieves, and 3 civilians, how much hope does the good camp have to win?

  An Yi's heart was somewhat in disarray...

  The moment the bonfire reignited, the figure of No. 10 Scar appeared out of the darkness.

  A pesticide bottle with a skull symbol on it suddenly appeared and was stuffed into the mouth of No. 10 Scar Man.

  Gudong, gudong, No. 10 Scar just passively allowed the pesticide to be poured into his stomach.

  The lips and face of No. 10 Scar Man began to turn green, purple, and black little by little.

  In the end, blood flowed from the 10th scar man's eye sockets, nostrils and mouth, slowly overflowing.

  The "10" printed next to corpse No. 10 changed bit by bit until it finally settled into the character for "people".

  $$The No. 13 glasses man lost his usual calm and composed demeanor for the first time and let out a sigh.

  "Are we going to lose?" No. 13 closed his eyes and lifted his face up.

  An Yi didn't speak, quietly gazing at the candles that were extinguished one by one.

  When the ordinary candle was almost extinguished, An Yi's eyes suddenly condensed.

  An Yi glanced in the direction of No. 3 Cream Little Fresh Meat in the darkness: "I don't know what reason makes you think I'm a thief! But..."

  "Card 6 is the killer of Card 9! We must vote her out first! No splitting votes! Even if you think I'm a thief, that's for next round to decide!"

  An Yi looked at the direction of No. 13 and No. 2 in the dark: "I don't know if there are thieves among you two! But! As long as one of you is not a thief, we can still win! Vote 6! If you're not a thief, vote 6!"

  No matter how heavy the atmosphere is, No. 1 pajama big fat man still repeats as usual: "I don't know anything, I don't know anything, I don't know anything..."

  "I, I'm really a civilian!" The face of the 2nd beer girl turned pale white, biting her lips tightly, even bleeding slightly: "I, I will vote for No. 6! I must vote for No. 6!"

  $$The No. 3 butter young master's pale face was slightly flushed.

  "No, no, don't blame me! This can't be blamed on me!" Number 3 Creamy Youth repeated a few sentences back and forth: "Who told number 9 to falsely report the kill? Right! Can't blame me, can't blame me..."

  The No. 3 buttery young voice got smaller and smaller as he spoke, until finally he hummed like a mosquito and said: "Roll a 6."

  $$No. 5, the stout middle-aged woman, still hadn't come to her senses from the emotional shock, her eyes were still staring blankly at the bonfire in front of her.

  $$The No. 6 white-coated woman's face was still icy, although she didn't speak, but her mouth corners were hanging with a thread of eerie smile.

  $$When the lanterns appeared, An Yi first raised his hand and pointed to the lantern marked '6'.

  Eyes quietly looking forward, eyebrows deeply furrowed.

  What does that sly smile at the corner of No. 6's mouth mean?

  It's hard to say, but An Yi always felt that something was off!

  $$Flames rise, blood-colored characters appear on the book scroll.

  No. 6: Nos. 2, 3, 13 and 14 (4 votes) Abstained: Nos. 1, 5 and 6.

  The moment the voting results appeared, the No. 6 white coat woman was engulfed in flames and emerged from the darkness.

  The flames burning on the body of the No. 6 white-robed woman grew stronger and stronger, before gradually dying out.

  Charred bodies blinked and made a few light cracking sounds, crumbling to the ground.

  On the ground next to the corpse of the woman in white coat No. 6, that '6' changed bit by bit and finally became a 'thief' character.

  The bonfire went out, and An Yi looked at the darkness around him, but his mind was still stuck on the strange smile on the corner of the 6th white coat woman's mouth.

  What is she laughing at?

  One minute, two minutes, three minutes...

  When the bonfire reignited again, An Yileng was stunned for a moment.

  No one died? Actually, no one died!

  "Peace and prosperity!" A dull voice appeared, but this time the content was quite different.

  No one died? It's actually true that no one died!

  "I don't know anything about Tao, I don't know anything..."

  It's not dead yet, and it seems to have nothing to do with the fat guy in pajamas No. 1 at all, he just keeps repeating that one sentence over and over again.

  "What, what's going on?" The No. 2 beer girl stared blankly at the surrounding darkness, completely bewildered and unable to grasp the situation.

  $$No. 3 Butter Young Master felt a bit embarrassed because he had previously voted for the death of No. 9 Yushi, and his face was somewhat difficult to look at.

  After seeing this inexplicable era of peace, the 3rd Butter Young Master seemed to think it was time to regain his face. He nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that No. 1 and No. 5 are indeed the last two thieves! That's why there is an era of peace and no one has been robbed!"

  $$No. 5 fatty big mom, did not show any abnormality because of No. 3 butter small life talking about her, still staring at the bonfire in the middle with a silly look.

  $$The man with glasses No. 13 let out a sigh of relief, and his face returned to its usual calm and collected expression: "In that case, just get rid of No. 1 and No. 5!"

  An Yi nodded slightly, but didn't say anything in rebuttal, his eyebrows only furrowing together.

  I don't know why, but An Yi always felt that something was a bit off! Especially...

  The strange smile at the corner of the mouth of the woman in white coat No. 6 made An Yi feel a chill down his spine.

  Looking at the 5 lanterns in front of him, An Yi had just raised his right hand when his face suddenly stiffened.

  No! An Yi finally remembered what was wrong!

  The No. 4 thief's first circle speech was so violent, daring to attack the 16th official, obviously just covering up his identity as a person behind him!

  If No. 1 and No. 5 are thieves and the thieving is severe, would No. 4 dare to do so?

  So! There is at most one thief among No. 1 and No. 5!

  And besides, the woman in white coat No. 6 was smiling earlier!

  How can you laugh when you're about to lose?

  Even if An Yi didn't have much of a desire to survive before, when facing imminent death, it's impossible for him to laugh!

  So... does No. 6 White Coat Girl think she's won for sure?

  If No. 6 White Coat Woman really thinks she has won, where does this win come from?

  Except No. 1, No. 5...

  The remaining 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 13th and this 14th one, definitely cannot have three thieves!

  Otherwise, three thieves will unite and vote together, even White Coat Girl No. 6 couldn't be eliminated earlier!

  So! Excluding this ID card No. 3, among the two people An Yi and this person, there might be another thief in either No. 2 or No. 3!

  What situation would make the woman in white lab coat No. 6 think she has won for sure?

  All sorts of clues flashed through An Yi's mind quickly.

  An Yi's face suddenly changed!

  No. 2 and No. 3 voted to death No. 9 bailiff, these two are definitely not bailiffs;

  And No. 13 and this No. 14 were thrown into a PK bag by No. 16, who was definitely not a bailiff.

  So... who could be the last imperial guard?

  Only 1, 5 and 10 are likely to be the last yamen! Therefore... Scar man No. 10 was stabbed!

  After Scar No. 10 was stabbed, the display showed Min. So, the last official, the scope narrowed down to between No. 1 and No. 5!

  There can't be more than one thief in either room 1 or room 5.

  In both No. 2 and No. 13, there can't be more than one thief;

  So... even if the 6th white coat woman thief is pushed out, as long as the thief in 2nd or 3rd place just needs to take a knife at night and stab the non-thief card in 1st or 5th place, they will definitely win!

  If so, in the eyes of the white coat woman No. 6, it would be considered a win and can be said to make sense.

  But...

  But why did the era of peace and prosperity appear?

  An Yi furrowed her brow and thought deeply for a moment, then suddenly thought of a possibility!

  An Yi first entered this game last time, his identity was a yamen runner!

  The yamen runners at night inspect other people, and it is executed by 'first yamen'!

  When the "first yamen" dies, the qualification for conducting the examination will be transferred to another yamen head. Then...

  Are thieves also in similar situations?

  If... because of the death of thief No. 6, the 'first thief' happened to fall on the head of the thief between No. 1 and No. 5, would it get stuck in the knife and bring about a peaceful era?

  Is that to say... in the eyes of Bai Dagu's No. 6, victory was already certain, but because of this unexpected event, a flaw emerged?

  At this thought, An Yi's face slid down a thread of cold sweat.

  Will this knife continue to stick?

  Will it be transferred from the thief's head in No. 1 or No. 5 to another thief on the next night?

  An Yi's gaze quickly swept across the lanterns marked 2, 3 and 13.

  No. 3 is a civilian certificate issued by No. 16 and has been reconfirmed by No. 9 for the second time.

  That 'active' thief can only appear between No. 2 and No. 13.

  Which one is it?

  An Yi's gaze suddenly fixed on the lantern marked with the number 13 and he raised his hand to point at it.

  Speech No. 13 is indeed helping the thief most of the time! However... it's only most of the time!

  And! Before No. 13 was always casting abstention votes! Even at No. 4, although No. 13 had a thief-like face when chatting with No. 4, but did not vote for No. 4!

  But No. 13 was voted in for the first time and landed on No. 9's head, becoming the last straw that crushed No. 9!

  Critical moment! With absolute confidence! The 13th just made a move!

  As for voting for No. 6 thief later, although No. 13 also voted one vote at that time, whether he voted or not was already irrelevant!

  And yet... No. 13 knows about the primary, professional, high-end and divine realms, so how could he not know about 'First Emperor' and 'First Thief'?

  An Yi doesn't believe that No. 13 has ever been a yamen runner or a thief! If he had, he would definitely know about this matter!

  But why didn't he mention it? He deliberately didn't mention it!
