Un-edited so please don’t kill me if you find anything wrong, please gently commenting so I can fix it.
Thank you.

“What, what do you mean?” Fang Daichuan’s body stiffened, he just stood for a long time in front of the machine.
Li Sinian lowered his head and said nothing.
He held the brass pen in his right hand and pressed it against Fang Daichuan’s waist.

“Why isn’t the game over yet?” Fang Daichuan was forced to smile, forcing himself a reason to ask, “Is there someone else on the island? Is it a boss? Or, someone pretends to be dead…”

“Chuan’er-ge,” Li Sinian interrupted him, his voice soft, “don’t lie to yourself.”

Fang Daichuan took a deep breath and fought the emotions in his heart.
Right now everything seems covered with fog, he can’t see clearly.
He wanted to speak, but even after he took a few breaths he couldn’t make a sound.

“Cinematography has borrowed a concept from physics called ‘Entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily’, do you know it?” Li Sinian was still in the mood to joke at this time.

Fang Daichuan sniffed, suppressed his voice, pretended to be calm and followed his example: “If there is no accident…, don’t add entity.”

Li Sinian smiled: “When writing a script and shooting a movie, you can’t just add characters that the audience don’t know at the end nor can you use clues that have not been told to the audience.
This principle has also been translated as: ‘God likes simplicity’.
So Chuan’er-ge, stop lying to yourself, there is no 14th person on the island, and there is no second boss.”

Fang Daichuan shook his head and stared at his toes, a drop of water falling on the floor.
The wound at the root of his leg hurt so badly that his voice trembled: “Who is the boss?”

Li Sinian sighed: “It can only be me after all.”

Fang Daichuan’s eyes instantly became hot and then cold.

“I’ll explain it to you one by one, Chuan’er-ge, turn around first, I want to see your face again.” Li Sinian touched the pen in his hand.

Fang Daichuan turned around stiffly.
Because of last night’s activity, his waist and legs were sore and weak and his movements were no longer as crisp as usual.
He lowered his head and he let the tip of his nose rest between his chest and stomach without resistance.

Li Sinian’s eyes darkened.

The two weren’t speaking.

“Do you want me to ask you first?” Fang Daichuan said with a smile.
He raised his head and looked up, the light in his eyes shattered into thousands of emotions.

“Actually, I gave you enough clues,” Li Sinian said after thinking for a long time, but he didn’t know where to start, “Have you counted poisons?”

In addition to the bottle of witch’s poison in his own hand, there are four wolves and sixteen bottles of wolf poison.

When Zhao Chu died, three bottles were found on his body, one bottle was stolen by Liu Xin and used on Li Sinian.
Liu Xiquan had four bottles, three given to Yang Song by Niu Xinyan.
Yang Song used them to hunt down Ding Zihui, but wasted them in the forest; A bottle was given to Du Wei, which was used by Chen Hui on Ding Zihui.
Chen Hui’s four bottles, one used to kill Du Chaosheng and three are in her hand.

So who killed the beer belly the first night?

Fang Daichuan closed his eyes in despair.

Li Sinian opened the notebook: “I said, remember to take my pen and notebook when I die.
What I want to show you is inside the cover.” As he spoke, he pulled the notebook leather cord, pulled out a card from the inner layer.

(T/N : On chapter 74)

It is the old yellow parchment paper, surrounded by flowers and plants pattern, with two words in the centre.

Fang Daichuan is already too familiar with this card.
Since he came here, it has frequently appeared in front of his eyes, every single time it brings selfish desires, feuds and greed, stirring up countless bloody storms.

Li Sinian held the card between his fingers and showed him the front.

Two words are written on the card – “White Wolf”.

(T/N :  [白狼;bái láng] and yeah, surprise eh? Author already gives spoilers from chapter 1 lol.)

“Where’s your wolf poison?” Fang Daichuan asked, when he heard his own voice, it sounded very strange, not like his usual voice at all.

Li Sinian threw away the notebook and cards in his hand and unscrewed the pen.
There is no ink inside the ink chamber.
It is a transparent liquid, shaking in the narrow ink chamber, reflecting the sunlight.

(T/N : The pen Sinian uses is a fountain pen.
I just used this one to show you the ink chamber part.)

I see.

No wonder no one found Li Sinian’s poison when they did a body and room search.
His wolf poison had been placed on the table all this time, in front of everyone.

“Are the remaining three bottles there?” Fang Daichuan smiled.

“I don’t have three bottles, the white wolf can only kill one person every two nights.
I only have half werewolf venom so I only have two bottles.” Li Sinian said.

“One bottle is used to kill beer belly.” Fang Daichuan said clearly.

“Yes.”

Fang Daichuan raised his eyes, his eyes sharp like knives: “The Seer Card belongs to beer belly.”

“Yes.” Li Sinian confessed.

Fang Daichuan can hear his heart break.

It seems that there is no need to continue to ask, all the strange things now have a reasonable explanation.
The villager card in the beer belly’s corpse must have been Li Sinian’s work.

“Old lady Song has a villager card on her.
When I buried her, I walked away and stuffed it into the beer belly.
I want to remind you that when everyone guesses about the role, everyone seems to ignore the beer belly.” Li Sinian’s eyes look earnest, “Du Wei noticed.
He came to me that night and asked me if I had really checked people.
I guess he is the one who moved the beer belly’s corpse.
He probably went up to the third floor and saw the safe, then after he heard Yang Song said and showed the key in front of everyone and saw she came to me.
He guessed that we would have a deal, so he arranged the scene on the third floor in advance, the purpose was to tell me that he knew my trick.”

No wonder, seeing the beer belly’s corpse that night, Li Sinian sneered and said, it is for me. Fang Daichuan smiled miserably.
He suddenly remembered that when Li Sinian saw the body, his face seemed a little pale. Of course, he sees the person he killed sitting behind the door.
Even though Li Sinian was a calculating and secretive person, he would have a momentary tug on his heart.

(T/N : On chapter 68)

He remembered that day at the beach, he guessed that the boss was a woman with “Exquisite lifestyle, luxurious and classy decoration, good taste in wine and non-smoker”.
Now that he remembered, except for the wrong gender, all pointed to Li Sinian.

(T/N : On chapter 52)

Fang Daichuan recalled it carefully, it’s like reading a book where all the audience knows the ending.
It was like those books whose title had already spoiled everything.
But he was the only one who was in the game and could not see clearly.
After knowing the ending, when he looked back, every word was a foreshadowing.

Li Sinian never checks people in front of him.

“Don’t trust anyone, especially me,” Li Sinian said.

(T/N : On chapter 7)

Li Sinian flicked the pen cap continuously.

Li Sinian was poisoned, leaned on his shoulder, whispered, “Alright.”

(T/N : On chapter 34)

Li Sinian’s forehead was sweaty and his left shoulder was bleeding.
“It’s just one night.
I will let you do it once.”

(T/N : On chapter 85)

Fang Daichuan’s eyes were blurred. Please don’t call me stupid, he thought, you are not in the game, you don’t know the pain.

“So,” Fang Daichuan choked, “you have been lying to me since the beginning.”

Li Sinian smiled faintly, without arguing, he said, “Yes.”

“I was the boss, I knew everyone’s identity, I played you all for fools! I was the first to kill and kicked off the whole scene.
I drove you all into desperation one by one, did you feel your desperation? Each of them died with such despair, like my father did when he died.”

“I know your greatest fear, I know what makes you most desperate.
I want everyone to die with despair, filled with great malice towards this world, like my father who was trapped alive as the water filled the cave.”

No! Fang Daichuan shouted in his heart, you are not!

“Now, Chuan’er-ge,” Li Sinian laughed, his voice low and gentle, “bring out your poison, let’s fight seriously.”

“I never had a serious fight with you, right? Be good*, I can’t let you live and you can’t either.” He said, the pen on his fingertips reflecting a sharp light.

(T/N : This novel is HE! Alright so for this [乖, Guāi] Baidu told me this is like a cute nickname? But the dictionary gives me ‘good, well behaved’ and so on so yeah, I decided to use ‘be good’.

And now, the last picture.
What, are you angry that I told you there are only 4 special roles here? I told you this novel has many hints from the beginning, right? From chapter 1 the author already told you there is WHITE WOLF role, not my fault you don’t remember it.
*whistle* Also I am not lying when I say Chen Hui is the last wolf, I mean Sinian is WHITE WOLF he is not WOLF… *running away*)
