Listening to my instructions, only Huo closed his eyes with the adults. "Okay. Those that drew the role of wolf and only those 2 can open your eyes." The wolves blinked their eyes open. "Quietly, so as not to be detected, look around the circle and find the fellow wolf." They caught eyes and smiled. "Wolves, you can only eliminate 1 person a round. Therefore, you both must agree. Silently, so as not to be detected, point to your victim." I told them. I watched as Wang Jing's sister was chosen. "Close your eyes and lower your hands." They did so. "Hunter and only the Hunter open your eyes and chose you want to investigate." I instructed. Bao chose Wang Jing. "That is a human." I said. I then told her to close her eyes and lower her hand, which she did. Cui Yahui then chose to save Wang Jing. She closed her eyes and lowered her hand. "Everyone open your eyes. The scoundrel wolves have come in the night and have killed a human." I then told Wang Jing's sister she was eliminated. "You must not speak, but there are lots of lessons to be gained from watching." I explained.
I watched as they went for another 10 minutes of discussing. "Why did the cleric not stop this!?" Wang Jing demanded. It was his sister, so he was frustrated. "Maybe they guessed wrong?" Bao supplied. Wang Jing turned to her and asked if she was the Cleric. "No. I am the Hunter. I chose you and you were human." That was a big revelation. There was a moment of silence. "What? Why would you choose me?" he snapped. Bao flinched a bit and said "Because that would be the worst thing. Now we know we can trust you." She knew how to soothe his ego. "But only if we can trust you." Lai Chang said. "Why would I lie?" Bao demanded. "Because you could be the wolf in this circle." Cui Yahui supplied the answer. Before a big fight could occur, Wang Wuying told them to focus on finding the culprit. That calmed them down. It was a good ability that she had. "Who was the stupid Cleric anyway!? They're responsible!" Bao punted the blame. Cui Yahui did not say anything. "Noone wants to step up." Wang Jing said before sighing. "Let's just move on then." he said, frustrated.
My face was smiling as I watched Wang Wuying and Lai Chang. They did their best to keep the conversation away from themselves. When the round was up, I told them to vote. They were keen on doing it. Chuan Min was then voted out. Bao was a close second, but the others were smart enough to not get rid of their Hunter. Chuan Min was miffed, but there was nothing that there could be done. I looked at her. "You must stay quiet, but you can watch the rest of the game." I said. She nodded. She gasped when she saw Wang Wuying and Lai Chang chose Bao, but Cui Yahui saved her. Bao chose to investigate Cui Yahui. I told her she was human. "Everyone open your eyes and listen. The scoundrel wolves have come in the night and have tried to kill a human. They were stopped by the Cleric however." I informed the group. "Who is the Cleric?" Wang Jing asked. "Maybe the Cleric would be better if they were not revealed. They can't protect themselves after all." Cui Yahui said. That was certainly true, if not self-serving. They voted out Lai Chang this time. Eventually Wang Wuying won.
Now that the game was over, they could all look at me. "What was the point of this game? You told me I could learn about character." Lai Chang said. "If you really don't understand, you need to play again." I told her. We played 5 more rounds. Wang Wuying won once again. Bao won as a wolf. The rest of the times the wolves were eliminated. "Did you learn yet?" I asked her. She shook her head. "You should explain the lesson before asking whether or not I learned." she replied. I looked around the room. "I called this a social detection game. By listening and talking to others, you can figure out how to win. That is for those that love logic. Other than that, you can use this game to check your friends. You should have been looking at everyone else. How do they lie? How can you tell? What do they say or do when they have this role rather than that role? Like I said, if you have logical strategy or a good idea how others playing behave you can spot the lies and find the wolves. Even outside the game there are people that are not how they initially seem. There are lessons to learn." I said.
