Only one night remained, and if she didn't answer Ning Wei, she would be disappointed again.
Looking at the withered flower on the table, only Wu Qing knew how beautiful it had once been.
Alas, prolonged confinement had turned beautiful memories into a slow-acting poison that tormented the soul.
"Are you sure you can resolve all the werewolves by tomorrow night?"
"Of course." Ning Wei was very confident about this.
Wu Qing sighed and said slowly, "There's also a hidden rule: if all the ghosts aren't identified on the last day, all the guests will die."
"But we can only catch one ghost per day. There are three left. We can at most deal with two tomorrow and the day after. How should we handle the last one?" Ning Wei analyzed the situation and raised the most puzzling question.
Wu Qing glanced at her, thinking that she had indeed not misjudged her.
Ning Wei simply didn't know the last rule, but she understood everything else.
It truly lived up to her saying: everything was under control!
"On the last day, we'll play a psychological mini-game. Everyone will write down the ghost's name and vote. As long as you all work together to vote out the ghost, you'll succeed. But remember, if even one person writes down a different name, the game is won by the ghost!"
Ning Wei wasn't entirely confident about this game, as besides her own people, there were four uncontrollable men.
Ning Wei hadn't exposed Bai Yang's identity before, so those four men were still in a state of mutual suspicion.
Suddenly realizing she had played herself, Ning Wei's forehead was covered in black lines. It seemed she needed to replan tonight and get those four men completely on her side.
"In exchange, I will resolve all the werewolves tomorrow night. Is this deal fair to you?" Having figured things out, Ning Wei intended to discuss the trade with Wu Qing first.
Wu Qing nodded slightly, "I hope you won't disappoint me."
This was an agreement. Ning Wei's face lit up with joy, "Then I'll go back to sleep. Please look forward to tomorrow night!"
Ning Wei skipped away from the wooden cabin, but the withered flower on the table withered even further.
Wu Qing picked up the almost detached withered flower, snorted coldly, and then casually tossed it onto the table, not caring if the flower couldn't withstand the rough handling and separated from its stem.
"Ning Wei, I hope you don't disappoint me." Wu Qing's voice was light and distant, eerily hollow.
The next morning, Ning Wei didn't oversleep. With half-closed eyes, she went downstairs with everyone else.
The three ghosts had emerged from somewhere and were now huddled together like a flock of startled chicks.
Ning Wei snorted as she passed them and whispered in their ears, "Guess who I'm going to report today?"
The three ghosts looked miserable, their lips mumbling as if trying to beg Ning Wei for mercy.
"If you report the fourth ghost, I'll let you off today." To compensate for her previous mistake, Ning Wei had come today to tempt them.
It was up to the three ghosts to decide. Regardless, they were going to die sooner or later, so Ning Wei didn't hold much hope for the condition she proposed.
Even when Wu Qing appeared, the three ghosts showed no intention of exposing Bai Yang.
Ning Wei found it amusing. Why hadn't she realized before that Bai Yang was so good at manipulating people?
Not wanting to waste today's opportunity, she casually reported one of the men.
Now, only one male and one female ghost remained. Under the guise of "a man and a woman working together is not tiring," although they couldn't cause much trouble anymore.
Daytime was still for everyone to catch up on sleep. Bai Yang, with a look of utter despair, squeezed onto the same sofa as Ning Wei.
During dinner, Ning Wei suddenly asked the four men, "There's still one ghost not caught. Have you decided who it is?"
The four men looked at each other. They couldn't find any reason to report anyone.
At this moment, one of them suddenly asked, "This ghost is allied with the werewolves. But we fought with the werewolves on the past two nights, and everyone has injuries. This can't be faked."
Ning Wei glanced at him with admiration. Noticing this detail meant he wasn't entirely stupid.
"So, is the ghost among you?" Receiving Ning Wei's gaze, this man gained courage and finally voiced what he had long wanted to say.
Ning Wei thought, the ghost is indeed among us. And Bai Yang is temporarily one of us, right?
"Since you four don't trust each other, it's easier. I'll handle things on our side."
With Ning Wei saying that, how could the four men dare to say anything more?
They simply assumed Ning Wei wanted to protect her teammate. Their own status remained unchanged, and they just needed to hold on for one more day and night to leave safely.
Ning Wei herself wasn't worried about her teammate being a ghost, so they wouldn't bring up this topic anymore.
As time passed, it was soon time for the werewolves to appear.
Ning Wei noticed that Wu Qing had been hiding in the darkness all night. It was likely out of concern, so he had come to monitor her actions.
Towards the direction where Wu Qing was hiding, Ning Wei winked playfully.
Bai Yang was also very conflicted at this moment. She looked at Ning Wei's back, her hands itching.
If she succeeded in turning Ning Wei into a ghost, that would be for the best.
But if she failed and her identity was exposed, Ning Wei would surely report her tomorrow.
The true rule for ghosts was that as long as they could hold on until the end without their identity being discovered, they could remain here as ghosts and wait for the next batch of guests to play this game again.
Torn between disappearing completely and becoming a ghost, Bai Yang was conflicted.
But the werewolves and the living had already started fighting. Ning Wei wouldn't let any werewolf go tonight, and she became more courageous with every fight, quickly dealing with several of them.
Wu Qing was also very anxious. This was a crucial moment. Whether she would disappear forever or regain her freedom, she had placed all her bets on Ning Wei.
Seeing Ning Wei defeat one werewolf after another, Bai Yang clenched her fists, a murderous intent flashing in her eyes.
With the enhancement of the ring, even ten more werewolves would be no match for Ning Wei.
An hour later, she smiled broadly as she defeated the last werewolf leader.
Bai Yang's fists tightened, and she relaxed them again as Ning Wei's gaze shifted towards her.
She had finally decided to cling to survival, even if it was only as a ghost.
This was the first time they had defeated all the werewolves, and everyone couldn't believe it.
"We really did it?"
"We actually did it!"
"Alright, alright, everyone worked hard today. Tang Tang, bring out all the special medicines and distribute them."
"This special medicine is very good for everyone's body, with the effect of strengthening the body. We'll be leaving here tomorrow anyway, and we can't take it with us, so we might as well eat it now." Ning Wei said while letting the ring absorb the werewolf's blood.
