Jun Li suddenly paused and then remained silent for a moment, his pupils constricted. Bai Ze laughed and then slowly said: "All tourists must abide by the rules of the game. This is also one of the rules."

"Jun Li, let's make a bold guess. Do you think it's possible..."

Bai Ze smiled and said meaningfully: "The statement that all tourists must abide by the rules of the game... is false..."

The room suddenly became unusually quiet, so quiet that even the footsteps upstairs could be heard clearly.

"That...that means..."

"That means none of us present here have been replaced by a strange creature. All 200 tourists are human beings."

Jun Li's brain was about to burn out, Bai Ze didn't say anything but gave him a chance to buffer.

Jun Li sat on the bed in a daze for a long time before speaking with difficulty: "That means the previous rules, such as completing tasks to obtain directional prompts and props, are all fake!"

"Well, it's very possible that the compass was originally faulty, so this also explains why the twin brother specifically reminded us not to rely too much on Xiao Yu's props."

Bai Ze pursed his lips and whispered: "Because it is very likely that this prop is misleading from the beginning to the end, but he can't break Xiao Yu's rules, so he can only remind him implicitly not to rely on Xiao Yu's props, and to follow his heart in everything."

"But this is an extremely bold guess, because the compass is really strange. The compass today makes me suspect that there is something wrong with the prop."

Bai Ze sighed and rubbed his brows, saying: "But if you say there is a problem, then it seems very unreasonable. If the auxiliary props you set for the game results are all misleading, how can the game continue?"

"But what if the original rules are false?"

"If the original rules are all false, then all the initial conditions are wrong, and it is understandable that the props are also wrong."

Jun Li touched his chin and continued Bai Ze's words, but his expression was still serious: "But this is a very risky guess at the moment. We have to find a way to prove it...hiss...I do have a way to prove it."

"You mean the compass?"

Bai Ze is too smart, so he can naturally think of what Jun Li can think of.

"Using the compass to prove things is really quick. After all, Xiao Yu said at the beginning that 'there is only one strange thing', and today's argument is directed at your friend who has a weak brain."

"Yes, if we press the compass again and it points to someone else, doesn't that at least prove that the rule of 'there is only one weird thing' is wrong!"

Jun Li stood up and moved closer to Bai Ze: "What we lack now is the clues on the paper. In fact, even if those clues are false, so what? We can use the false clues to reversely prove that the other rules are false! In this way, we can overturn the statement that 'one of the above rules is false'!"

"After all, as long as we can prove that more than one rule is false, then it can be proved that what Xiao Yu said at the beginning, 'One of the above rules is false', was originally false!"

"In the end, we can conclude that all the rules are fake, because the real fake rule is 'Please all players strictly abide by the rules of the game'!"

Jun Li suddenly felt that something was wrong. He remembered the note he had picked up in the stairwell before...

"That's right... Wife, we have deduced that the note clues and props are misleading. Then what about the note we picked up in the stairwell..."

"Jun Li, the game hadn't started yet..."

Bai Ze glanced at him and walked him through the timeline: "We picked up the note first and then ran into your friend at the first floor safety passage. Finally, we were trapped in the hotel lobby and announced the start of the game."

"So this note was left before the game started. I guess the clue on the note given by Xiao Yu in the ghost's hand is fake, and the clue on the note we accidentally picked up in the corner is real. It's a mixture of true and false...tsk tsk tsk..."

Jun Li thought about it and it was true. He even realized Xiao Yu's purpose of mixing true and false clues, which was really terrifying when he thought about it carefully.

Because there must be other people who participated in the task and found that the clues on the note seemed to be inconsistent with the rules, and then found that more than one of the rules seemed to be false, they would conclude that all the rules are false.

In that case, the game will be over very quickly. After all, all the clues given are false, and it will be easy to find out that something is wrong. But what if the true and false clues are mixed together?

The clue that Xiao Yu gave to the ghost that required completing a task to obtain was fake, while the clue that Jun Li and the others picked up in the hotel was real. Because they were lucky enough to pick it up before Xiao Yu announced the start of the game, they were able to quickly distinguish the difference between the real clue and the false clue.

That is: the clues obtained by completing the task are false, and the clues discovered through accidental conditions are true.

But the other participants didn't know this. When they discovered that the clues given in the task conflicted with the original rules and were just about to suspect that there was something wrong with the rules, a real clue suddenly popped up.

Wouldn't it be that the previously correct conclusion would be overturned immediately because of the infiltration of this true clue!

After all, you have already discovered that more than two of the rules are false, and you are about to conclude that the real false rule is "All players are requested to strictly abide by the rules of the game." But suddenly a real clue pops up and you are instantly caught in a contradiction.

After all, logically speaking, all the clues on the notes should be false, so how could a real clue appear?

It is this true clue that will cause tourists to become confused, because they don’t know the difference between true and false clues, and they don’t know that the true clue appears before the game starts, so it is not subject to the rules of the game!

"Should we...tell them our conclusions?"

Although Jun Li was seeking Bai Ze's opinion, he obviously already had the answer. None of them was a ghost, so there was no need to hide clues and inferences!

"Don't you already have the answer?"

Bai Ze smiled and looked at Jun Li: "Now we know that the rules are all fake...so the real way to break the deadlock should be..."

"We need to find Xiao Yu, right? Find Xiao Yu and find a way to kill it! Then we can put an end to all this!"

Jun Li really got it. Bai Ze finally looked at him approvingly and nodded: "That's right, but we currently have no way of knowing Xiao Yu's location... and..."

"Jun Li, let's put aside those fake rules now. What we need to do now is to find out the secret of this hotel."

Bai Ze lazily lay on Jun Li's thighs with his face propped up. He stretched out his cold fingers and gently scratched Jun Li's face, then tilted his head and laughed: "Tell me... if you were the initiator of the game, would you want to watch these game participants being fooled around by the fake rules you made?"

"It's very fulfilling, isn't it? You made the game, you designed the traps, and people kept falling into them. People kept trying to complete tasks and look for false clues just because of your words..."

“Very interesting…”

Jun Li gently held Bai Ze's hand and rubbed it, then replied in a low voice: "So...what we need to do now is to find where Xiao Yu is hiding in the hotel to spy on us."

"No need to look for it... In fact, there was a hint long ago."

Bai Ze gently hooked Jun Li's neck and leaned close to his ear, exhaling softly: "The eighth floor does not exist..."
