Chapter 3: Deception
– Please support fakeftranslations.com –
A tray with leftover food was thrown onto the middle-aged official’s face. His whole face and body was covered in soup and watery leftovers.

And the culprit was the little girl who burst into tears earlier, Guan Ling!

Guan Ling was hitting the middle-aged official with the tray as she cried and said,

“No… I can’t… I can’t die… I still need to find my mom in Nanking!”

With the leftovers covering him, along with the violent shaking of the plane, the middle-aged official finally cracked under the enormous amount of stress as he glared viciously at Guan Ling with his bloodshot eyes and said,

“Gelaozi! You motherfucker! You little cunt wanna kill me! I’m gonna die anyways so why not I just fuck you before I go! Call me a cradle-robber, I’ll be a womanizing ghost!”

He rushed over, grabbed Guan Ling, and started tearing off Guan Ling’s clothes. I wanted to go save her, but unfortunately I was too far away. The plane was shaking so hard, and all I could hear was her horrific screaming and crying.

In the nick of time, someone finally came forward. All I saw was a gray shadow, it struck the middle-aged official from the back fast like lightning, put its arms around the middle-aged official’s neck and snapped it.

A loud, clean, crisp sound!

The shadow broke the middle-aged officials neck without hesitation!

With the middle-aged official’s death, the plane cabin stopped shaking and returned to its normal flight.

I realized that the shadow was a young, genuine looking man, dressed like a migrant worker, who looked like Wang Baoqiang1.

I couldn’t believe someone like him could be capable of murder, and he did it without even hesitating.

The middle-aged official was dead. The plane cabin became dead silent. No one spoke.

No one even vomited after the genuine-looking young man killed the middle-aged official. We just threw his body coldly on the side, and took our jackets off for Guan Ling.

“My name is Wang Qiang, retired veteran. I am the one who killed this man. One should answer for what he does himself. You guys don’t have to be afraid.”

After Wang Qiang finished talking, he just sat on the side and didn’t make another sound.

The situation seemed to become more safe and calm. Looking at the middle-aged official’s body, everyone seemed to be having mixed feelings. As for me, I decided to play this game even more seriously.

I must live!

I suddenly remembered that as the captain, I could check a person’s role after each voting.

But who should I check?

Shang Zhiyuan, Qian Duoduo, Guan Ling, Wang Qiang; they are all notable. I must first make sure who’s on my side.

But who should I check first?

I couldn’t make a decision yet, but I still had a couple hours before I had to decide. It shouldn’t be too late to look just before the next voting, after I found out more about these people.

The time passed quickly. Basically no one spoke for the first hour after someone died. During the second hour, people started gathering in groups and began chatting.

The four people that I was keeping my tabs on, Shang Zhiyuan, Qian Duoduo, Guan Ling, and Wang Qiang, gathered together, along with another woman.

Pin Chuanxia!

Even though I didn’t understand the situation, I walked over and joined their conversation.

Shang Zhiyuan saw me walking towards them, and he smiled at me.

“Thank you for before. Since you’re here, we have six votes. It counts as the biggest force on this plane.”

What Shang Zhiyuan said irritated me, so I replied coldly,

“I’m just here to talk, I never said I would listen to you.”

Shang Zhiyuan shook his head and explained,

“I’m not telling you to listen to me. We are just discussing first to see who the Howler is, so later on when we vote, we can advance and retreat together.”
– Please support fakeftranslations.com –
I was a little speechless because of Shang Zhiyuan’s desire to lead. I shook my head and said,

“Advance and retreat together? What if we have a Howler amongst us?”

“Exactly! I was thinking of the same problem!”

The person who spoke up was Pin Chuanxia. I was a little surprised. I couldn’t believe she had the same opinion as me.

Qian Duoduo started speaking first even though Shang Zhiyuan hadn’t even replied yet.
– Please support fakeftranslations.com –
“Doesn’t matter if we have a Howler amongst us. If we can control most of the votes in the beginning, we can live longer than the others. You should understand that!”

Only one death into the game, and we’ve already become so cruel?

I was speechless. I sat down and didn’t want to speak anymore.

Shang Zhiyuan continued to speak,

“When everyone was looking at their role cards, I observed everyone’s facial expressions. The young guy on the side with yellow dyed hair and tattoos – I thought his expression looked fishy. He might be the Howler. When we vote for the second time, how about we all vote for him?”
– Please support fakeftranslations.com –
Qian Duoduo laughed heartlessly.

“I don’t care, as long as I’m not the one dying.”

Pin Chuanxia had more opinion to this,

“What if Huang Mao2 is a passenger. Killing him would make the passengers weaker. If the passengers lose, we’ll die anyway.”

Guan Ling didn’t say anything.

Wang Qiang hmphed coldly and said,

“I’m not responsible for killing anyone anymore.”

I didn’t make a stand either. I only sat on the chair, and looked at them quietly.

Whose role should I look at later?

Time passed just like that, and I suddenly got the feeling that I had when we were about to lift off. I felt dizzy, and my eyelids felt heavy. I fell asleep instantly.

Is it time for us to sleep?
– Please support fakeftranslations.com –
Who’s the Howler? Who’s going to be killed by the Howler?

I hope it’s not me.

I didn’t know how much time had passed, I was glad that I woke up.

But as soon as I woke up, I heard a scream.

Huang Mao, the person who Shang Zhiyuan was planning to vote for, died!

Huang Mao was in his seat with his neck snapped and eyeballs popping out. He died the same way as the middle-aged official.

Wang Qiang became everyone’s target all of a sudden!
– Please support fakeftranslations.com –
If Wang Qiang was not the Howler, then the Howler was copying Wang Qiang’s killing signature on purpose to frame him. No matter what, Wang Qiang was in a precarious position!

I looked at Huang Mao’s body, and I looked at Shang Zhiyuan tauntingly.

Shang Zhiyuan looked at Huang Mao’s body, and whispered to us,

“Let’s pick that woman who was screaming. I felt like her scream was unnatural. No matter what, we should protect Wang Qiang first.”

However, Qian Duoduo backtracked,

“No! We should just vote for Wang Qiang. He is everyone’s target right now. There were fifteen people on this plane; two are dead now. Even if we try to protect Wang Qiang, we only have six votes. If the other seven people all think that Wang Qiang is the Howler, then not only do we lose Wang Qiang, but we also make them our enemy. It’s not worth it!”

After hearing what Qian Duoduo was saying, Wang Qiang didn’t say anything, but Pin Chuanxia spoke up,
– Please support fakeftranslations.com –
“Qian Duoduo, how can you be like this! We said we would advance and retreat together! Can you even be sure that the rest of the seven people would work together and think that Wang Qiang is
the Howler? What if one person picked someone else? Why not gamble for Wang Qiang?”

Qian Duoduo glimpse at Huang Mao’s dead body, and laughed coldly,

“Sorry, but this gamble doesn’t have a high winning chance, and personally, I’m not even sure that Wang Qiang isn’t a Howler!”

Pin Chuanxia still wanted to say something, but Shang Zhiyuan stopped her, because the official discussion had begun.

Shang Zhiyuan spoke first,

“Who should we pick this time? Who could be the Howler?”

The woman who screamed because of Huang Mao jumped out first. Her eyes were all red and puffy from crying, as she pointed at Wang Qiang and said,

“It’s him, he must be the Howler! Lin Chuan died the same way as the official! He must be the one who killed Lin Chuan!”

To this, Wang Qiang only responded with indifference,

“I did not kill Lin Chuan. I am a passenger, not a Howler!”

But that woman wasn’t giving up. She pointed straight at Wang Qiang’s nose and yelled,
– Please support fakeftranslations.com –
“You murderer! Even if you’re not a Howler! You killed the official, you’re a murderer already! There’s nothing wrong with us voting and killing you!”

The woman made her point. After a lot of murmuring, everyone started looking at Wang Qiang coldly.

Wang Qiang didn’t seem to be afraid of death. He sat there without saying a word.

Wang Qiang’s steel-like soldier’s appearance moved me, so I decided to sneak a peek at my phone for Wang Qiang’s role.

Wang Qiang is a passenger. He didn’t kill Huang Mao.

But should I help Wang Qiang? If I help Wang Qiang, it would expose my identity. When we pass out for the second time, it’s very likely that the Howlers would kill me!

Just as I was debating whether or not to risk exposing myself and helping Wang Qiang, something unexpected happened…
