Kaveh glared at Alhaitham angrily before returning to his room.
When everyone gathered the next afternoon, Furina was still nowhere to be found.
Even Xavier found this a bit strange.
"This is really odd. She wouldn't actually stay mad for this long, would she?"
He knew that while Furina could be emotional at times, she was never petty.
Besides, this was just a game; it wasn't like anyone's bottom line had truly been crossed.
"Oh, if you're worried, why don't you go look for her when you have time?" Hu Tao offered a good suggestion.
Xavier thought that made sense. It seemed he would have to check on the situation himself when everyone rested today.
"Everyone, did you hear any strange noises while you were sleeping last night?"
Bennett suddenly blurted out.
Xiangling, who was just serving the last dish, immediately said, "Huh? Don't scare me! Where would there be any noise?!"
Shenhe also said coolly, "Exactly, I didn't hear anything at all."
Venti shrugged, "It's normal for there to be noise with so many people living here, even at Xavier's house it's like this."
"No, no, it's different." Bennett immediately waved his hands to explain, "Last night, I was planning to get up to use the restroom, but I heard a very strange sound."
Bennett's words made everyone involuntarily stop what they were doing, and the dining table became a bit quieter.
Bennett continued, "The sound was like someone whispering, and it was very hoarse. All in all, it was really scary!"
"Itto, did you go and scare Bennett?"
After what happened last night, Xingqiu's first suspect was naturally Itto.
Itto raised his hands above his head, looking innocent, "How could that be? Last night, I only wanted to scare Yoimiya, but before I even got the chance, you guys…"
Itto stopped halfway through his sentence, as he felt he might have said too much.
Yoimiya feigned anger, "Hmph! You, Itto, actually wanted to sneak over and scare me! What are your intentions?!"
Seeing his plan exposed, Itto naturally gave up completely.
"This Daddy, have no schemes! I just wanted to scare you. Who told you to pretend to be a ghost and scare me during the last test of courage?!"
"Hey, hey, hey, you're being too unreasonable! We clearly agreed it was a test of courage. You couldn't even pass my first stage, what kind of courage is that?!"
"How is that the same? You deliberately scared me; that wasn't part of the level."
Listening to the two arguing fiercely, Xavier slammed the table and said, "Alright, alright, so what kind of sound was it? Did anyone else hear it?"
Since Bennett was on a lower floor, people on the same floor as him might have heard it.
So Xavier looked at Fischl and Amber next to him: "Did you two hear anything?"
Amber bit her finger, thought for a moment, and then said, "Well, I don't think I really heard anything. And last night, I felt uncomfortable sleeping, so I went back to Mondstadt in the middle of the night!"
"Ah? Me… I…"
When it was Fischl's turn, Fischl stammered as if she had something difficult to say.
Oz flew out from under the table and said, "My lady sleeps very soundly. Even when my body sometimes experiences electrical current disturbances, it's impossible to wake her."
"Oh, and by the way, my lady's sleeping posture is also very strange, easily pressing on her ears, so it's not easy for her to hear what's happening outside."
Fischl's face turned crimson: "Oz!"
Fischl felt like all her little secrets were being exposed. How could he even say something like that!
Everyone tried hard to suppress their laughter.
Then Xavier turned his gaze to Venti.
"Venti? They can't hear it, but you surely can, right?" Xavier looked at Venti with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Huh? Me… I…"
Venti also stammered, scratching his little head, not knowing what unspeakable secret he had.
At this moment, Detective Shikanoin Heizou spoke up.
"These past two days, I've always been able to smell alcohol. Based on my deduction, well, I guess there's no need to say anything more."
Xavier looked at Venti with a look of disappointment, as if saying, 'You're hopeless.' This guy was secretly drinking again.
Although there was alcohol everywhere in the old castle, and the butler had also said that if they drank, it would be deducted from the deposit, so theoretically, all the alcohol here was drinkable.
"Never mind, never mind. Since no one else heard it, that means there was no sound. Bennett, could it be that you're suffering from neurasthenia, or you heard other sounds?"
Xavier's words made Bennett himself a bit doubtful: "Uh, maybe it really is like that…"
After this topic of discussion ended, everyone began to eat, and after the meal, they naturally moved on to the exciting Werewolf game.
Now there were not many players left, only a few remaining.
Werewolf faction: Lyney and Hu Tao
Villagers: Amber, Xiangling
And the two surviving divine roles, one a Fool, Itto, and the other a Hunter, Xiao.
So, next, Xavier was going to announce last night's information.
"The player who died last night was…"
"Vanquisher of Evil, Xiao."
When everyone heard this news, they weren't too surprised.
Only Itto was a bit boisterous.
"Huh? It should have been me they killed!"
"Vanquisher of Evil is the Hunter! Be careful, he might shoot all you werewolves dead!"
Everyone held their forehead. Itto was indeed a fool; how could he know that Xiao would definitely take out a werewolf?
"I want to activate my skill."
Xiao flipped over his identity card, on which the two large characters for Hunter were clearly written.
Xiao had thought all night last night, so he knew very well who he was going to take out today.
"I'm taking out Hu Tao."
Xiao chose Hu Tao without the slightest hesitation.
"What?!"
Hu Tao seemed quite distraught. She had expected him to take out Xiangling or Amber.
At the very least, he would take out her good teammate Lyney, not her.
Although she really wanted to know why, unfortunately, she couldn't make a last statement now.
"Alright everyone, there are only 4 players left on the field now."
"Just a special reminder, if there are two werewolves on the field, then this game can already be declared over."
As soon as Xavier finished speaking, Itto next to him asked, "Why? The situation is clearly balanced!"
Before Xavier could explain, the nearby Miko explained.
"Oh my, you little guy are indeed adorably foolish."
"If there are only two werewolves left on the field now, then they conservatively have two votes."
"Even if the remaining two players also have an equal number of votes, the werewolves will eventually enter the night."
"Which means at that point, no matter who they kill, the task will be completed."
