All Werewolves Eliminated, Game Over!

After killing Drake, Liam felt a wave of relief.

The most troublesome 『Soldier』... had finally been dealt with.

And it was so effortless!

However, Liam did not completely let his guard down.

Emmy was also a troublesome character.

Liam did not lower his guard just because he had killed Emmy last time.

After all, last time, he had been killed by Drake—this time, Emmy hadn't even died by his hand.

Facing Emmy now without terrain advantages or her natural underestimation of him...

Killing this seemingly fragile girl would not be an easy task.

Especially she held a dagger in her hand.

Meanwhile, the gun in Liam's hand was out of bullets.

However...

Liam still pointed the gun at Emmy.

Just as "Teacher" Maive had said in the previous round—a gun muzzle could calm people down.

Emmy, who had been ready to charge forward with her knife moments earlier, abandoned her action after hearing the gunshot and seeing Drake's corpse collapse.

After being aimed at by Liam's gun muzzle, he didn't dare to move at all.

But...

Liam didn't fire.

Though Liam himself knew he didn't fire because he had no bullets left.

But Emmy was unaware of this.

As time passed bit by bit, pressured by the "death" threat, Emmy couldn't help but speak first.

"Why was it me who did the reasoning and judging earlier... yet you shot and killed the 『soldier』 first?"

Emmy asked.

Hearing this, Liam naturally began to explain: "Oh, that... Because I felt he might have been persuaded by you."

"His profession as a 『soldier』 and real-life experiences determined that... as long as he 'might' harbor hostility toward me, the priority of eliminating him between you two would become infinitely high."

"Even if I could be certain you were 100% hostile toward me, I would still kill him first."

Liam stated calmly.

"So I'm being looked down upon," Emmy furrowed her brows, "and this is your roundabout way of admitting it... You truly aren't the『Administrator』."

"I am indeed not the 『Administrator』."

Liam nodded in acknowledgment.

"Tch, I've been played here," Emmy sighed, "but why haven't you killed me yet?"

She narrowed her eyes and said, "Could it be... this gun only has one bullet?"

Liam laughed upon hearing Emmy's words.

The other party finally...

steered the conversation in this direction.

He felt gratified.

Although Emmy had never previously doubted that the gun only had one bullet, since Liam hadn't employed 『Deception』 to lead her to that conclusion through his deceptive actions, this remained merely Emmy's miscalculation. It couldn't empower Liam to activate his 『Deceiver』 ability and manifest a second bullet in the chamber.

"Revolvers have limited bullets. Isn't that obvious?" Liam smiled, "Why don't you gamble... bet that my gun has no bullets?"

Emmy stared at Liam and tightened her grip on the dagger.

"Frankly, your hesitation to shoot makes me suspicious... Do you truly have only one bullet left?"

"You have no reason to keep me alive this long..."

"You effortlessly shot Drake's vital point earlier—proving your marksmanship needs no cautious aiming."

"Even if driven by 'curiosity' about how I saw through your disguise, I've already explained my reasoning..."

As she spoke, Emmy stepped forward.

"So... I now suspect your gun holds just one bullet."

Liam watched Emmy's approach and chuckled.

His smile radiated unwavering confidence.

"Your deduction is brilliant... Emmy. You truly surpass all my expectations!"

This seemingly beautiful and delicate girl is truly the smartest one in this game!

However... how unfortunate.

Liam still aimed the gun at Emmy and calmly stated: "But unfortunately, your deduction is only half correct."

"There aren't many bullets in this gun, but... the number isn't one, but two."

"I was just struggling over whether to save this bullet for you or 『Otaku』!"

Liam said coldly.

He didn't need to kill 『Otaku』, who was on the same side as him.

But Emmy naturally couldn't grasp this point.

In her subconscious... Liam had gone to such lengths to make them kill each other, so the win condition must have been to eliminate everyone else by default.

This also aligned with her perception that Liam had more "advantages" than any other participant.

The victory conditions for the strong are always tougher, aren't they?

But even in the face of Liam's words, Emmy took another step forward.

She met Liam's gaze.

"I don't believe—your pistol must also be some kind of 'prop'... The bullets in such props are either fully loaded or have just one shot..."

"Two bullets are such a strange number!"

Emmy spoke again.

But...

The young man's eyes before her were mocking and composed as if looking at a dead person.

And he carried a strange, chilling aura about him.

But now that things had come to this, whether the other party had bullets or not...

She could only gamble that there were none left!

Emmy raised the knife in her hand!

"Bang!"

The next moment, a gunshot rang out as the revolver's muzzle erupted with fireworks-like flames.

Emmy suddenly felt time slow for an instant—she saw the metal bullet emerge from the flames and rush toward her.

"So there was a second bullet..."

This was Emmy's final thought.

Then...

The bullet passed diagonally through her upper abdomen. A massive hemorrhage robbed Emmy of her consciousness within seconds.

She collapsed heavily to the ground, her dagger clattering away beside her.

Liam walked over, lowering his gun barrel. Looking down at Emmy, whose pupils had already dilated, he sighed and spoke.

"Though you kept claiming disbelief... You truly believed I had a second bullet."

"But I can't blame you."

"After all... my acting was just too flawless."

Liam holstered his pistol, remarking with emotion.

From his tone during the dialogue to his expressions and demeanor up until the moment of firing—every detail had been meticulously crafted within Liam's "performance state."

Any observer would have believed he fired with absolute lethal conviction, not mere intimidation.

Thus...

The moment Emmy doubted and raised the question of "bullet count"...

Her fate was already sealed.

A few seconds later, Emmy on the ground completely ceased breathing.

The 『Veterinarian』 has died.

This was the second time Liam had personally killed Emmy.

But this time...

[Werewolf faction annihilated!]

[Game "Who is the Outsider" — concluded!]

Liam gently closed his eyes.

The next moment, he fell into endless [Nothingness].
