Chapter 129: Obtaining the Rokkasho Invitation_4
His eyes were bloodshot, a sign of extreme anger.
Once one of us is identified as a monster, it means I misjudged, and the other two could also be monsters...
This means that once Takahashi Fumihiko decides to stop hiding and naturally ends his dormant period to become a monster... then both Mariko and Rokkasho, who chose to continue hiding, can also use Wen Xishu's new logic to forcibly end their dormant periods.
In this way, Takahashi Fumihiko would have to confront Rokkasho and Mariko.
His advantage of ending the dormant period naturally would be completely lost.
Takahashi Fumihiko was both furious and shocked. He thought he was the only one to deeply understand the latest rule to its core.
But Wen Xishu had also thought through it, even predicting Fumihiko's prediction, sealing off any choices he might make.
Now, if he chooses to end his dormant period and become a monster, the other two must also become monsters.
Takahashi Fumihiko couldn't be sure he could compete with two monsters for Wen Xishu.
Wen Xishu also understood one thing, which was a hidden rule known to all.
At this moment, the TV flickered back on, adding this rule.
The scene on the TV was a piece of cake.
A whole, untouched cake.
Then the TV spoke:
[New rule addition: Only the person who kills the homeowner is qualified to evolve. And all non-humans on the island crave evolution.]
This rule wasn't new at all.
Why would the island's creatures knock on the door? They can't leave once inside... and still knock. Isn't that just crazy?
So, when the previous rule appeared, Wen Xishu had already guessed this rule.
The appearance of this rule now was meaningless.
Wen Xishu sat on the sofa, significantly more relaxed.
In the previous round of this game, he was clearly the winner, achieving a major victory by playing a game-changing rule addition.
He mentally reviewed:
"Killing me isn't their goal, killing me to gain evolution is what they desire, as the rule stated from the start, they… are very greedy."
"Takahashi Fumihiko, you can end your dormant period naturally, but if so, unless you kill me first, you can't evolve nor leave."
"While the other two, under the logic bug, forcibly end their dormant period, they can't evolve but can leave."
"Thus, you become the biggest loser."
"Do you still dare to end your dormant period?"
In this way, Takahashi Fumihiko was effectively restrained.
At the same time, Takahashi Fumihiko also restrained Rokkasho.
Understanding the latest rule, Wen Xishu also knew... now no one would naturally end their dormant period.
This not only sealed Takahashi Fumihiko but also the other two.
Now, if Takahashi Fumihiko wants to kill, he can only do it while in the dormant state, killing someone in the house.
If Mariko wants to seduce me, she can only tempt me sexually; she can't force it.
Rokkasho is the same, he can only try to charm Takahashi Fumihiko while in a dormant state.
Wen Xishu successfully identified the monsters' weaknesses through the rule descriptions by the second night.
Next, a series of visitors began to appear outside the house.
But these visitors clearly belonged to "another house." They couldn't hide and would kill as soon as they came in.
Wen Xishu didn't make mistakes.
Despite several mental invasions causing chaotic hallucinations, at crucial moments, he always managed to spot huge logic bugs and found the enemies' flaws.
Takahashi Fumihiko watched Wen Xishu, gritting his teeth with hatred.
His "special condition" was the simplest, just to kill, but he couldn't do anything to Wen Xishu.
Because until now, Wen Xishu hadn't used a single bullet.
Thus, Wen Xishu's second night passed without major incidents.
...
...
6:05 a.m.
Wen Xishu began to feel sleepy again.
At this moment, Mariko approached:
"Dear God, shall we... do the most intimate thing together?"
In fact, if Mariko had chosen to mate with Rokkasho, and Rokkasho had tamed Mariko as a dog, both could have left.
But Wen Xishu wouldn't let them leave.
They themselves also chose to stay out of greed.
Wen Xishu was like the Holy Grail, now seven people were fighting for it.
Wen Xishu said:
"I'm tired."
"But you... you said yesterday, you wouldn't use being tired as an excuse!"
"Yesterday I said that, I wasn't tired, I was being honest. I thought the night would be peaceful, but you see, I've been busy all night to ensure your safety."
Having mastered the rules, Wen Xishu had become increasingly arrogant:
"Mariko, you wouldn't want me to deal with you while exhausted, right?"
If Mariko were a little smarter and found the logical loophole to forcibly end her dormant period, she wouldn't continue to humble herself.
Unfortunately, if Takahashi Fumihiko couldn't do it, neither could she.
She could only resort to special means—such as creating hallucinations to scare Wen Xishu.
But after last night's ordeal, Wen Xishu now felt that seeing any hallucination no longer frightened him.
Hair seeping through the roof? Blood gushing from the bathroom sink? A flickering specter standing outside the door?
When Wen Xishu saw these now, he could only say: Bring more, the child loves watching.
Allowing himself to be wrapped in hallucinated hair created by Mariko, he yawned and said:
"Alright, I'm going to get some rest. Don't worry, you'll definitely earn my affection. I believe in you."
