Chapter 48: Executor Squad Game (Asking for Votes!!)

The specific gameplay is like this, divided into four roles: werewolf, villager, seer, and witch.

Leiketon anxiously explained the werewolf game's rules to the Executor Squad members, fearing that a moment's inattention would earn him a shocking remark from Xi Ya.

"Sounds interesting, but can we six assign the roles properly? This game seems to need quite a few people!" Jessica raised a question.

"Sure." Leiketon nodded.

"Two villagers, one seer, one witch, two werewolves?" Xi Ya asked.

"That's right, Elder Sister Xi Ya is indeed beautiful and smart!" Leiketon flattered Xi Ya.

"Sigh~ I never thought that in Little Leiketon's eyes I am an ugly and foolish woman!" Jessica sighed, feigning sorrow.

Leiketon couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth; Miss Jessica has recently become more and more like Xi Ya.

"Really makes one happy, I never thought little brother would favor only me!" Xi Ya didn't miss any chance to stir up trouble.

"Don't be like that, I'm scared!" Leiketon felt that the squad's atmosphere, under Xi Ya's leadership, was becoming increasingly outrageous.

"Let's try this game." Mr. Ke Si interrupted the increasingly outrageous topic.

Leiketon gave Mr. Ke Si a grateful glance.

He picked up the pen and paper on the table, wrote down the six identities, then rolled them into six paper balls.

"Everyone draw one! Don't use extraordinary abilities to peek at others' identities." Leiketon shuffled the paper balls in his hand and casually placed them on the table for everyone to choose.

"I suspect you said that aimed at me." Xi Ya narrowed her eyes at Leiketon and said.

"Of course not, I meant it for everyone." Leiketon quickly shook his head to deny.

Although only Xi Ya in the squad could do that, Leiketon didn't dare say such a thing out loud.

Afterward, at Leiketon's urging, everyone adjusted the chairs and tables into a circle around the table, with Tu Ba Ge standing on the table to maintain the game's flow.

As extraordinary beings on the reader's path, everyone adapted quickly, and the first game proceeded smoothly, except for the two ladies.

The werewolves in the first round were Mr. Ke Si and Leiketon, and they eliminated Miss Jessica, who was an audience member. As a game that tests acting and psychological tactics, the audience is a game bug.

Xi Ya also realized this problem, but her luck was poor—she was a villager, not a witch. Even worse, she didn't survive long enough to be eliminated by the two werewolves; she was poisoned to death by the witch's toxin first.

Then this game ended in an outrageous way, concluding as soon as the second round began.

"I originally thought this game suited me, but now I find it doesn't suit me either." Jessica said resentfully.

Originally Jessica thought that, as an audience member, she could easily grasp the situation even without extraordinary abilities. But evidently everyone had thought of that, and she was eliminated right away.

Jessica felt her game experience was terrible, and she sensed that later games wouldn't be much better—being eliminated at the start meant she was a good person, not being eliminated meant she was a werewolf; her role was almost transparent.

"I feel the same; I was actually eliminated by my teammate's poison." Xi Ya agreed with Jessica's sentiment.

Just now, Josi, who had poisoned a teammate as the witch, stood aside trying to minimize his presence as much as possible.

"One more round!" Xi Ya was unwilling to accept the previous round's outcome.

Soon the second round of werewolf killing began, and this time Leiketon was eliminated right at the start. When Tu Ba Ge pointed out that the first round's elimination was himself, Leiketon was also quite surprised, and then he and Tu Ba Ge together activated God mode.

Leiketon noticed that Tu Ba Ge was still quite addicted to his role, completely directing the game's progress while openly eating melon seeds on the side.

In the following rounds, Leiketon simply put Tu Ba Ge in the game and sat in its place to eat melon seeds.

The squad played werewolf killing in the office for a whole morning, only dispersing at noon break, still wanting more.

Leiketon took Tu Ba Ge out to buy seeds during the noon break. Upon arriving at the store, he found the variety of crop seeds overwhelming, leaving him dazzled while choosing.

"Do you want carrots?" Leiketon asked softly, turning his head.

Tu Ba Ge shook his head repeatedly.

"It seems rabbits really don't like eating carrots; cartoons are just lying to kids." Leiketon concluded in his heart.

Afterward, he gave Tu Ba Ge some common vegetable and fruit seeds, plus seeds of nightgrass, sunflower, golden mint, and other plants occasionally used as ritual or spell components.

Finally, Leiketon left the store satisfied, carrying a large bag of seeds.

"Wow~, so many seeds? How long will I have to dig the soil?" Tu Ba Ge looked at his chubby rabbit paws, then at the large bag of seeds Leiketon was carrying.

"It's not like you have to plant them all at once; just keep them, seeds can be stored, you can plant them slowly later—my future spell materials will entirely rely on you." Leiketon reached out and pulled Tu Ba Ge onto his shoulder to lie there.

A rabbit wearing a bow tie, holding a cane, and with a tall top hat on its head is already eye‑catching enough; if it walked on its own, Leiketon felt he'd be knocked on the door by the Earth Church people at any moment.

"What are spell components?" Tu Ba Ge asked curiously.

"Once I advance again, I'll be able to learn and master spells, completing spellcasting through certain incantations and materials." Leiketon said simply.

"Wow~ then when will I be able to learn spellcasting?" Tu Ba Ge asked curiously.

Leiketon recalled the abilities of each stage of the Farmer path he knew; it seemed only upon reaching Sequence Five Druid could he master earth‑type spells.

"You'd better give up learning spellcasting; it's not suitable for you." Leiketon shook his head.

"Why?" Tu Ba Ge asked, puzzled.

"Because you're just a rabbit!" Leiketon snorted, using Tu Ba Ge's own words.

"Don't worry about that; you don't need to learn spellcasting. The potion's innate extraordinary ability is enough, and you can also modify plants yourself—learning spells with me would be the same." Leiketon comforted him.

"Modify plants? Is it like before, making those plants weirdly shaped?" Tu Ba Ge asked curiously.

"That counts, but besides being weirdly shaped, they can also have many special abilities; you should have seen some in that area before." Leiketon explained.

"Then I want to be the Forest King, turning all the trees into my lackeys so they all grow tasty food and juice." Tu Ba Ge said excitedly.

Leiketon could only think to himself: I'm going!

Making trees directly grow food and juice? I shouldn't have named this rabbit Tu Ba Ge; I should have called it Frank the Rabbit.

When Leiketon and Tu Ba Ge, perched on his shoulder, chatted intermittently, he felt a gaze.

Leiketon turned his head following his spiritual perception. At the intersection of this street, a person stood in front of a bakery, wearing a black long windbreaker, a brown baseball cap with the brim lowered, covering most of the face.

Apparently intending to conceal the face, Leiketon glanced furtively several times but couldn't make out the appearance; he only knew the height was about 1.75 meters, roughly twenty‑to‑thirty years old.

The other party's reaction was highly alert; Leiketon's furtive glances were noticed after just a few looks.

The other's gaze swept over Leiketon, then they turned and left the bakery's entrance.

"That person is really scary!" Tu Ba Ge, lying on Leiketon, dared to speak only after the person left.

"What did you feel?" Lei Kedun asked.

Tu Ba Ge shook his head: "I don't know either; I just feel he's really scary, like he wants to eat me."

"Do you remember his scent?" Lei Kedun asked, somewhat curious.

"I'm just a rabbit, not a dog." Tu Ba Ge said angrily.

Lei Kedun shrugged, not saying "how useless you are" to provoke this rabbit.

The mysterious extraordinary person he had just encountered made Lei Kedun somewhat uneasy. From that person, Lei Kedun faintly sensed a strong malice, and his intuition kept frantically warning him not to use the Secret-Peeking Eye.

"Is this the power of some evil god? That heavy and extremely obscure malice is very like that of an extraordinary person on the prisoner or criminal path." Lei Kedun speculated in his mind.
