Volume 3 Chapter 26: This Is a Grudge Match!
After watching the little vampire girl run away, the two of them looked at each other.
Gao Liang suddenly felt that… the ID style of this catgirl streamer looked kind of familiar.
Then… he was cut down on the spot by the catgirl with one strike, his head flying off.
Dead!
“Eh?!”
The sudden attack shocked Gao Liang. Looking at himself now in ghost form, he felt a bit helpless.
Ha… As expected, she didn’t come with good intentions.
On the other side, Gao Ye couldn’t hold it in anymore and let out a “hehehe” laugh, feeling very pleased inside.
Brother, I never thought I’d see you like this one day~
【Hey, hey, did I walk into the wrong room? Is this really a catgirl streamer’s live room?】
【Sorry, my big goose seems to have run out.】
【Streamer, can you make some human-like sounds?】
【I want to listen to this as ASMR to help me sleep tonight. Can you do a private voice recording?】
【This is crazy. Is this supposed to help you sleep, or keep you awake all night?】
【Exactly, night shift here. Gotta stay half-awake.】
“Hmph, say whatever you want. Anyway, I just killed Ari-chan’s top supporter. Hehe, time to run.”
Gao Ye covered her mouth and laughed quietly, then went off to look for the weak, pitiful, and helpless Lin Lin.
She was ready to send this fated man and woman to the underworld to meet again~
Back to Gao Liang. After getting killed, he didn’t really have anything else to do, so he reopened the little vampire girl’s live stream.
While watching what was going on over there, he continued doing his remaining tasks in ghost form.
Come to think of it… I’m already dead, but I can still do tasks. Isn’t this setting kind of strange?
It feels pretty spooky. The more you think about it, the scarier it gets. Somehow, this feels even worse than playing werewolf.
After becoming a ghost, with nothing blocking him, Gao Liang’s task speed became much faster.
So he kept doing tasks while also using part of his attention to watch the vampire girl’s stream.
But speaking of her side… uh, the progress is kind of slow.
After Lin Lin finished the second task, she started wandering around the streets again.
Which task should she do next?
Maybe go back? Do the first task?
That was the very first one, where she entered that room together with Dog Bro and Gao Ye.
Hmm…
Lin Lin felt this plan could work. Those two people should already be gone, so there shouldn’t be anything stopping her from doing tasks now.
To avoid wandering around outside and getting stabbed, Lin Lin decided to move faster.
Gao Liang watched the little vampire girl walk toward the room where he had died, and he more or less understood what was about to happen.
As expected…
As soon as she entered the room, Lin Lin noticed a body lying on the floor. The name on the body was extremely eye-catching.
“Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog”
Gasp—
The little vampire girl’s eyes went wide, shocked on the spot.
“Dog Bro—Dog Bro, how did you die here? Dog Bro!”
【Dog Bro… Dog Bro is gone.】
【I saw Dog Bro enter the stream just now. I knew he was done for.】
【LOL, the little vampire girl just lost her sponsor.】
【Forever gone, my Dog. The world looks empty now.】
Lin Lin covered her mouth, tilted her head up so her tears wouldn’t fall, then gently clicked the left mouse button.
Well, it wasn’t actually that dramatic. She just clicked once to report it, found a body.
Then, immediately, a meeting was called for everyone!
“Ah, Dog Bro already entered the stream? Ahem, don’t worry. Watch my logical reasoning this round—I’ll perfectly avenge you!”
The girl sounded very confident. Hearing this, even the viewers in the stream became confident and started cheering for the little vampire girl, supporting her “justice reasoning.”
Ahem, what was it again…
Any time, any place, the super detective seriously solves the case?
First, the little vampire girl had to face questions from random players.
【Green: Who reported it?】
【Little Vampire Girl: Uh, I…】
【Green: Did you see who killed him?】
【Little Vampire Girl: No…】
Ah, the rhythm was completely out of control!
After some discussion, the other players reached a conclusion: only one person had died, and no one had any clues. This vote should just be skipped.
Everyone skipped the vote and decided to wait until there were clues.
But Lin Lin didn’t think so!
No, she actually had a suspect!
That’s right—Gao Ye.
After Lin Lin left, Dog Bro and that person should still have been in that room together.
And soon after, Dog Bro died.
So, looking at the time gap, this person had time to commit the crime, and their behavior was suspicious.
Which means… Gao Ye is very likely the one who killed Dog Bro!
So, before the discussion ended, the little vampire girl quickly typed:
【Red: Yellow has a strong reason to be the killer. When I left that room, she and the dead Blue were still in the same room!】
【Yellow: Huh?】
In an instant, Gao Ye felt a lot of pressure.
Looks like Sister Lin Lin isn’t that stupid after all.
Well, still… she could argue her way out of this.
【Yellow: After you left, I left too. I don’t know how Blue died.】
【Yellow: And is it possible that you’re the traitor and reported it yourself?】
【Green: Hey, you two…】
This move by the little vampire girl pushed the two of them straight into a face-off. Now it was worth thinking about voting one of them out. After all, there weren’t many impostors, and if the guess was right, it would be a big win.
And since these two were biting at each other, there was a good chance one of them was a wolf. If not, voting both out later would still be acceptable.
【Green: So from what you’re saying, before Blue died, he only had contact with the two of you?】
【Yellow: Uh…】
Gao Ye immediately realized this kind of back-and-forth was bad for her. Sister Lin Lin could always wait until after the meeting to kill again, but if she herself got voted out, they would really lose one werewolf.
【Yellow: Not necessarily. After we left, he should have been alone in that room for a while. I don’t know if someone else came in.】
【Green: Then let’s not vote for now. I’ll watch the cameras in the control room. Let’s skip this round.】
Phew—
Gao Ye finally relaxed. As expected, this round ended with everyone skipping the vote.
However, Gao Ye’s strange reaction just now immediately made Lin Lin suspicious.
This person… with that little devil personality, shouldn’t she have argued with me to the end?
She suddenly backed down and compromised. There must be a problem.
Hmm…
She’s probably a wolf.
Once the seed of doubt was planted, Lin Lin decided right away: no, she absolutely could not stick with Gao Ye anymore.
She… she had to find her own safe space to survive.
So after the discussion ended, Lin Lin immediately ran off, looping around the whole map, and wandered back to areas that could be seen from the cameras.
The goal was to avoid Gao Ye.
But…
This round, Gao Ye had also locked onto Lin Lin.
I’m going after this one!
Gao Liang looked at the little vampire girl’s screen, then at the catgirl’s live stream. Watching this game of hide-and-seek, he couldn’t help but feel nervous for the vampire girl.
Things don’t look good.
