Infinite weird games

Chapter 147 Grand Performance (18)

Most of the games in this copy are unfair, and this unfairness becomes more and more obvious as time goes by.

The initial injustice was that Hansen was obviously not the most evil and worthless person, but because of his outstanding force value, he was voted out first.

The existence of character cards is yet another injustice.

Players are assigned various roles without knowing it; characters such as cannon fodder and supporting characters cannot get their own character cards and can only lie down and die; the protagonist and villain have a chance to come back from the dead.

The protagonist's resurrection from the dead is unconditional, while the villain's resurrection is based on the protagonist's survival. Players are divided into three, six or nine levels from the beginning, and their survival probability and death order have already been determined.

After that, games such as catching foxes and black jacks cannot be absolutely fair. They can only balance the odds of winning through multiple rounds of repetition...

Qisi looked at Cynthia: "Let's vote for Dong Xiwen together in this round. When he dies, we can each rely on our own abilities."

Cynthia nodded and said the word "good" concisely and concisely. Her less bright eyes looked even darker at first glance.

"Hey! Is it really okay for you two to say this in front of me?" Dong Xiwen was about to cry, but he had no other choice but to express his dissatisfaction with words.

Two votes to one, the outcome was determined, he would die no matter what.

What's even more frightening is that after Hansen was voted out, he was suspected to have actually died. If he is thrown out, will he actually die?

"Let's begin." Qisi picked up the quill and wrote a name on the white paper.

Charlie urged at the right time: "Gentlemen and ladies, I believe you have almost communicated. Write down your choices on paper! I have designed many interesting ways to die, and I am just waiting for the results of your vote! "

Cynthia didn't hesitate, picked up the pen and wrote a name.

Dong Xiwen's eyes flickered between Qisi and Cynthia for a while, and finally made a decision. He gritted his teeth and made his choice on the paper one stroke at a time.

After all three of them put down their pens, he closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and waited for death to come.

Time passed by, and the expected pain did not appear. He was a little confused and tentatively opened his eyes a crack.

I saw an Arabic numeral made of black smoke appearing on the top of everyone's head. The one on Cynthia's head was 0, and the one on Qis's head was——

3!

Ziss got 3 votes, which is a unanimous vote!

Dong Xiwen's eyes widened in disbelief.

He voted for Ziss because Ziss claimed in public that if he died, Cynthia would die too.

Even if the chance of taking away two people with one vote is very slim, it is still worth trying.

To his surprise, Cynthia did not vote for him as promised, but also voted for Ziss.

But think about it, this woman is not willing to be controlled by others, and naturally has her own plans.

She only needs to keep Dong Xiwen in this round of voting, and then use props to kill him in the battle royale session, so that the only surviving players are her and Qisi.

She can then use the prop to kill Zeiss.

There is a guaranteed death toll mechanism. No matter how powerful Zeiss’s soul contract is, it cannot take her away beyond the essential rules of the weird game...

But no one expected that Chis would vote for him.

"Unanimous vote! The result is clear! Congratulations to Mr. No. 1 for being selected as the most damned sinner!" Charlie announced the result excitedly.

Dong Xiwen looked at Qisi dumbfounded: "No, brother, what's going on with you? Did you kill yourself?"

Hansen did not appear in the birdcage after being voted out, and his life or death was uncertain; how could "Zhou Ke" be so brave and dare to kill himself during the voting and execution?

etc! Did Cynthia not mention Hansen?

Dong Xiwen finally realized the blind spot and his pupils shrank.

Perhaps, it was not that Hansen did not appear in the birdcage, but that he was killed by the two people who arrived later with props...

Doesn't this mean that these two human-like apes have the possibility of killing people?

Dong Xiwen looked sad and thought desperately: "It's over, it's over, when it comes to the battle royale, I'm afraid I won't be killed directly..."

On the other side, Cynthia looked at the numbers above Qiss’s head and immediately understood everything.

Naturally, Qisi cannot have the kind intention of sacrificing himself for others. He voted for himself just because he wanted to leave the show early and do some small tricks that cannot be seen...

It is very likely that he knew something and was fully confident that he could pass the level, so he dared to show his true face and expose his true intentions at this time...

And an egoist like him will definitely not have the kindness to leave clues to those who come after him after clearing the level.

If he survives, it will be equivalent to "swallowing" the guaranteed death toll mechanism. Cynthia knew that by then, even if she killed Dong Xiwen, she might not be able to clear the level.

Thinking of this, she pulled out a short knife from the interlayer of her dress, making a gesture of standing up and stabbing Qiss across the table.

However, the next second, an invisible force descended from the sky and pinned her to the chair.

This play is the same as the previous one. Except for the battle royale in the third act, players cannot attack each other in the rest of the play.

Cynthia couldn't move and could only stare at Qisi: "Zhou Ke, there is no absolute conflict of interest between us. If you tell me the clues you know, Kyushu owes you a favor."

The execution had begun. Zeiss leaned back on the chair and allowed his flesh and blood to be bitten off and devoured by the invisible existence.

In fact, he has no special interest in cannibalism, so he has no excessive aversion to being eaten; reading books that describe the matter in a beautiful and alluring way, he cannot feel any empathy.

As far as he knows, appetite is often linked to love, and he is a monster without the quality of "love"...

Blood blurred his vision and poured into his ear canal along the wound. Chiss could only vaguely hear Cynthia's persuasion.

The woman's voice sounded calm, but if you licked it carefully, you could taste the fear behind it.

She couldn't do anything to Qiss, and deduced the outcome after Qiss' plan succeeded.

At this moment, she is in a weak position, and the only way to break the situation is to persuade Qisi to share clues with her so that she can survive together.

But it is a pity that Qisi has never had a good intention to save people, and he does not want to get too involved with Kyushu.

"Zhou Ke, I am a high-level executive in Jiuzhou. It will be beneficial and harmless for you to cooperate with me..." Cynthia was still persuading.

Feeling the dense pain all over his body, Qisi snorted a sneer through his nose: "As far as I know, that ridiculous guild values ​​face more than life, and they don't dare to claim their family status after harming others."

"Although I have not joined them, I am very familiar with their senior management..."

Zeiss could no longer hear Cynthia's words clearly, and his consciousness began to separate from his body. At a certain moment, it fell off like a ripe fruit and floated to the boundless sky.

He vaguely saw his identity card in this play, and the word "villain" was particularly clear.

This time, he is still the villain.

The game no longer hides its "unfair" nature.

Qisi figured everything out, suddenly enlightened, and wanted to laugh, but in the end he didn't make any sound.

In the silence, a bright red page slowly turned over in the darkness...

[The main mission has been refreshed]

[Main mission: Escape from the Scarlet Theater]

When Charlie said frankly, "This world is inherently unfair," Zeiss finally caught the sense of disobedience that he had always felt vaguely but could not confirm -

The "unfairness" of this copy is too obvious.

It is true that the weird game itself cannot be absolutely fair. The probability issues that test luck, the uneven player strength and the difficulty of the copy are all manifestations of unfairness.

But Weird Games never truthfully informs players of this underlying logic.

On the contrary, it will give players a hint that everyone is at the same starting point and that the copy is selfless. Only in this way can players' safety expectations be met and they can be willing to struggle for survival.

Charlie spoke out about "unfairness" with confidence, and never concealed the existence of this unfairness in the design of character cards...

This makes Zi Si doubt that some of Charlie's actions are really due to the mechanism of the copy itself?

In "Double Happiness Town", Qisi learned from Xu Yao that some important NPCs in the dungeon had autonomous consciousness, and staying in the dungeon to kill people was also due to a deal with the main god. And this transaction is not strict. This type of NPC can sometimes do things as they wish.

So, will this be the case with Charlie as well?

Is it to deliberately transform the identity cards that belong to the game mechanism into different "character cards" to avoid the attention of the weird game?

I don't know how long my consciousness has been floating in the darkness, but I finally settled down.

Zeiss opened his eyes and found himself sitting in a high-backed chair.

The round table was empty, except for him.

He was still in the theater, but the surroundings were no longer bright and glorious. The burning breath lingered on the tip of his nose. Looking around, he could only see the blackened ceiling and walls with the faint light.

This is a piece of land that has been burned by fire, and it has been abandoned for an unknown period of time.

Qisi stood up and walked towards the shimmering light.

I saw a hole in the dome of the theater. It was night outside, but moonlight leaked in through the gap.

There were five birdcages placed in the place illuminated by the light, four of which were empty. Only one of them had a figure in a red suit sitting cross-legged.

Qisi looked at the man and smiled crookedly: "My sin, long time no see."

In the previous scene, he was locked in a cage; in this scene, he comes out and his sins are locked in - it's kind of dark humor to think about it.

"Long time no see." The young man in red showed his fine teeth. "If you want to leave, you can stack the cages together and climb out from here. This is just a reminder, so you don't need to ask me any more."

Hearing this, Qisi laughed out all the smiles he had saved before. He laughed and stepped back.

It wasn't until he stepped back five steps that he stopped smiling: "Good inducement. In the previous consciousness space, the player's body was locked in a cage, and evil was rampant outside; but in this space, the situation is completely opposite."

He paused, and his voice was sarcastic: "Players who have experienced tragic deaths are weak-willed and can easily be misled into thinking that this is a real space opposite to the conscious space. But with all due respect, although this scene looks very real, But that’s about it.”

"Oh?" The skin of the young man in red began to melt from the top of his head, flowing to the ground like cooked wax oil, undulating like waves.

The gelatinous mucus squirmed slowly as if it were alive, connecting to form new shapes. When it solidified and settled, sitting in the birdcage was a slender figure wearing black clothes and a white mask.

It's still Charlie.

The weird puppet turned its masked face towards Chiss and asked, "How did you see that?"

"You said it yourself in the script." Qisi said, "Your theater has been burned down. After so many years, it has probably been razed to the ground. How can we escape? The Scarlet Theater we want to escape from has always been The space of your consciousness, the ghost realm you created with your obsession.”

"Hoho, that's a good guess!" Charlie clapped his hands twice, "You are indeed my favorite character! It's a pity that there is no reward for getting the answer right! The characters in the copy do not have equal rights, and neither can the playwright. Because you prefer to change the plot without authorization, you can only raise your demands after the show ends."

"——Now, Mr. No. 1, you can go back to your seat and wait!"

Ziss did not move, but continued to speak: "It can be seen that you are a cynical and self-righteous person. You have built such an evil theater, but you also left some boring scripts to mislead us into thinking that those bloody The methods are all your puppet's own doing, playwright Mr. Charlie, how long are you going to hide behind the scenes?"

Puppet Charlie remained silent, but countless pairs of scarlet eyes suddenly appeared on the dark ceiling, staring viciously at Zeiss below, as if they wanted to eat him alive.

Ziss didn't seem to notice, and continued: "You clearly long for the audience's recognition, but you call yourself an artist and denounce the drama of sensationalism. I'm afraid it will be too difficult to let the players repeatedly engage in the drama you created in the form of consciousness. It’s just your own plan, right?”

The space shook violently, and the cold wind rising from the ground set off waves of howls, causing the hem of the white shirt to flap.

Qisi's tone was still calm: "Players killed by props will really die. This is the mechanism of the dungeon itself. And you are squeezing players on your own initiative and producing evils that exceed the limit. I guess you will not Hand it over to the game, right?”

He paused for a breath, then raised a finger to his lips and lowered his voice: "I'm curious, if Weird Games knows your little moves, can you continue to cooperate with him..."

"He won't know." Charlie's voice turned cold, "As long as I kill you, no existence will know."

"Really? It's a pity that I don't believe it..." Qisi put his hand on the fate pocket watch on his left wrist, and the smile on his lips turned full of malice in an instant.

He suddenly raised his head and said in a voice that everyone and the NPC could hear: "The Lord of Time and Space who is at the boundary between life and death, the Master of Fate who is in charge of disasters and blessings..."

"Shut up!" Charlie understood Qisi's plan almost immediately, and his voice was no longer as calm as before, "I will let you go, and I can also give you some benefits that I can..."

"No." Chiss shook his head.

He raised his hand, and a bright red contract scroll appeared in front of him, automatically without wind.

On the blood-like background, the golden word "Qi" shines brightly, hunting like fire, reflecting the faint light that blurs the vision.

"Although I don't know why you need sin, from the perspective of poaching the Lord God, our positions are consistent. What I want to say is-"

"You might as well make a deal with me."

………………

[Note] "Faust" is a poetic drama created by the German writer Goethe, which tells the story of Faust's deal with the devil Mephistopheles.
