We Are Gamers

She took out her phone and looked at her face reflected on the black screen.

Looking at her, looking at his past self, he smiled miserably.

A silent smile is a farewell to the past.

Chapter 640 The Truth Is So Pale

"Okay, she's gone."

Bai Ge patted the shards of glass on the clothes.

"Everything that happened after that makes sense."

"She performed a physical bone removal on herself, changed her appearance, and was believed to have died in the fire."

"In fact, she quietly underwent plastic surgery and changed her appearance. After living in a different place for more than half a year, she returned to her family."

"Although she still kept the name An Hongdou, she couldn't return home logically, so she was adopted by her relatives and became her original elder. In name, she became Orange's aunt."

"But she's actually Orange's sister."

"So in the past, Juzi called her sister, not aunt."

"I thought it was her pretending to be tender on purpose, but now I understand...that's what it is."

Although An Hongdou would definitely not remember, she still resisted the title.

Because she has not been able to recognize her relatives to this day, and cannot tell the truth about the past.

Maybe a few people know, but maybe no one knows.

"Something like this happened in the past." Xia Luoli expressed her understanding: "It's not surprising that she would become that kind of character, but it's just that she can't get out of her psychological shadow after six years."

"In the past six years, An Hongdou is incomplete."

Bai Ge shook his head: "The real her is hidden in her subconscious. During the six years, she just fell asleep, so her mood is still stuck in the past. Her JK high school girl costume represents her mood. No transformation."

He tried to put himself into the role, and gradually understood the sentimentality in An Hongdou's words: "But think about it, when you wake up, you open your eyes and change from a 19-year-old girl to a 25-year-old married woman who hates marriage." Young man, six years of precious time passed by easily, she did nothing, did nothing, and how many six years can a person have in a lifetime?"

Xia Luoli asked: "Is this her regret?"

Bai Ge replied: "This is her hatred."

Lao Xia said: "This is irreparable."

Bai Ge said, "But maybe she doesn't think so."

Xia Luoli did not continue this topic.

She turned to ask: "Are you satisfied with the current result? The arsonist who has troubled us for many years has already committed the crime."

Bai Ge asked back: "Do you think I will be satisfied with this result?"

Xia Luoli nodded: "I think so, there are still too many contradictions that cannot be explained."

Bai Ge took a step forward: "There are many contradictions, many contradictions that cannot be simply explained by a word 'gambling'..."

He raised his finger: "The whitest thing is why this escape game is chosen in such a place, a movie theater, a public business place that is destined to involve innocent people, it is impossible Everyone is a pawn in the game."

Lao Xia rested his cheek on his side: "I have also accepted such cases in the past. Whether it is the dark net or underground black boxing, in essence, these illegal gambling games must follow a principle...the larger the amount, the smaller the movement , They are an illegal gambling game, so they must try their best to hide their existence, once they are exposed, the consequences will be disastrous."

"What's more, the location is still in the city of Huaguo. This is a forbidden area for mercenaries. It is extremely difficult to execute this kind of game here. If there are any clues left, it will have a very serious impact on the subsequent gambling."

Bai Ge continued: "Han Zhenxi mentioned before that there was no such situation in the games she participated in in the past, and none of them were in the urban area. Among the experiences mentioned in the speech, there are Amazon jungles, and catacombs, etc. , I believe they are all places off the beaten track, and are covered with enough eyeliners and cameras to ensure the smooth progress of this escape game."

Lao Xia agreed: "Yes, the eyeliner... This is very important. If this is a gamble, what method does the other party use to determine what happened in the fire scene? High temperature will cause the equipment to go down, and any monitoring will be useless. It’s meaningless, if you can’t live broadcast the current situation, the fairness of the game will inevitably be questioned, what’s the point of having a game that can’t please the punters?”

Bai Ge crossed his arms; "If you talk about punters, I've always been a little bit puzzled...don't you think..."

Xia Luoli continued without the slightest pause: "Well, there are too few bets, only three people."

Baige Tanshou: "This is not fighting landlords, let alone Texas hold'em."

Xia Luoli pondered: "It is also different from ball games and underground black boxing. The scale of escape games must increase the number of people as much as possible. Werewolf Killing is a very suitable template. Han Zhenxi also mentioned this escape game template."

She added one more point: "Also, Han Zhenxi obviously bought the logistics of the escape game, and was able to know the game template in advance and prepare for it, but he didn't get enough convenience this time as he wished, and was locked in the box instead."

Bai Ge said: "To sum up, we can draw a very simple conclusion."

Xia Luoli replied: "This is not a normal escape game, at least not an official one."

Bai Ge asked: "Then what do you think?"

Xia Luoli replied with three words: "Imitation offender."

Bai Ge snapped his fingers: "Yes, if it is a copycat, all the contradictions can be explained. The other party's purpose is only in the name of an escape game, but it is different from the inside to the outside. There are no punters, no gambling, and no Watcher."

Xia Luoli asked: "But this imitator... No, what is the real purpose of the arsonist?"

Bai Ge replied: "This has to be deduced from the development and final result of this escape game. No matter what the final result of the escape game is, there are only two situations. One is what the arsonist would like to see. , one that the arsonist would not like to see."

Xia Luoli smiled: "Is it the hypothetical method? Although it is a clumsy method, it is really easy to use. Then set a constant X and assume that X is one. This result is what the organizers are happy to see."

Bai Ge replied: "The result is that Han Zhenxi is dead and An Hongdou is alive. She used the fire to cheat herself into death and deceived everyone. She successfully escaped the fate of being framed by Han Zhenxi and was not involved in the real escape game. To be a chess piece that is bet on... The wicked are dead, the good are alive, from the perspective of an insignificant bystander, it is naturally a happy ending."

Xia Luoli took advantage of the situation and said: "Assuming that the arsonist wanted to see such a result, he made a fake game based on this idea, and lured Han Zhenxi who lacked the ransom fee into the game. The real purpose was to let her die here, and to Let An Hongdou see Han Zhenxi's true face, and get rid of the tragic fate of becoming a pawn... Then, who is this arsonist?"

"Who else could it be?" Bai Ge said, "I know that Han Zhenxi lacks the money to redeem her life, I know that she has the habit of cheating in logistics, and I have a deep understanding of escape games, and I hate her to the bone, but I can't bear the simple and kind girl An The victim of Hongdou... There is only one person, and it can only be the 'Senior Sister' who has not shown up and may have been poisoned to death."

"Then, assuming that X is zero, isn't this what the arsonist wants to see?" Xia Luoli asked again.

"It's still her." Bai Ge said: "It's just that her motives need to be changed, but in the end it's all about getting rid of those who know her and obliterating her own existence."

"Then the real identity of the arsonist can be determined."

"Yeah." Bai Ge said very simply: "The case has been solved."

In the sentence-by-sentence conversation between the two, the truth that has been troubled for many years has been revealed.

There was no pause, and no need to think more, the answer was almost clear in front of my eyes.

Only they can understand each other's thoughts so easily, and easily fill in the missing and missing parts of the other party in the discussion.

"But there is still one thing that is not clear." Lao Xia asked: "Whether X is one or zero, what do you think?"

Bai Ge was silent for a moment this time, and he said: "It is very difficult to believe that a person is kind, because if you want to believe that it is kind, you need to overcome many psychological obstacles; on the contrary, if you think that a person is holding malicious, then all her actions will appear reasonable."

"You think it's malicious." Lao Xia's voice was very soft.

"If it's good intentions, it can't explain why she didn't put herself in the No. [-] box, why the No. [-] box was locked, and it can't explain why she didn't tell An Hongdou the truth. If there is a slight mistake, she will really die. .”

"But if it's malicious, it all makes sense," she said.

"Yes, if it's malicious, if she doesn't intend to save An Hongdou from the beginning, all the contradictions can be explained clearly."

Bai Ge will deduce it and say it sentence by sentence.

"The reason why I put An Hongdou and Han Zhenxi in the first box and the second box is because she knows very well that Han Zhenxi will definitely not be able to resist the temptation of money, and will kill each other with An Hongdou. As long as one of them dies, she can Created the fact that 'three people died in the fire' to allow themselves to escape; the reason why the No. [-] box was locked was also to paralyze Han Zhenxi, making her think that the locked box must be a corpse, and she had successfully poisoned the third person .”

"This is not a difficult layout, nor is it a clever human trap. It is too different from An Hongdou's situation."

"But Han Jinxi is too stupid and too vicious. She perfectly played a buffoon and a villain, perfectly covering the existence of the person behind the scenes."

Lao Xia asked, "What if you guess wrong?"

Bai Ge said: "In the third box, there will really be her body, but I don't think there will be. It is destined to be an empty box. She never existed from the beginning, and her traces have long been erased and disappeared. Without a trace..."

Xia Luoli leaned on the back of the chair: "I know."

Bai Ge looked at the burning sea of ​​flames: "From the moment she lit the flame, there was no kindness left."

Everything has been settled, and the answer dating back six years has been revealed.

Still a young man, he slowly closed his eyes, and quietly said goodbye to the past.

Chapter 640 The first time with Lao Xia

The truth is revealed, and the dream is shattered.

The space that Bai Ge was in cracked, like countless cracks on a mirror.

The broken dream space represents the fact that he is about to wake up.

He was holding the mobile phone in his hand, but he could no longer hear Lao Xia's voice.

But the phone has already turned into a thin red line, pulling it forward.

He followed the red line and groped forward in the darkness.

Across the invisible and tangible spiritual barriers.

He came to a door, and an illusory red thread passed through the door.

As he stretched out his hand, the door disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Crossing the threshold, you come to a strange room, which is a library. There are only layers of bookshelves, and the bookshelves are scattered, forming a huge and ever-changing chaotic maze, full of fantasy atmosphere. .

When he walked a certain distance and looked back, the maze had changed.

But he doesn't need to decipher at all, he just needs to follow the lead of the red line.

Not long after, he stepped over a row of movable bookshelves and reached the center of the room.

The most central place seemed a bit empty, with only two chairs and a table with black and white chess pieces on it.

A faint light falls from the top floor of the transparent library. In the center of the light, a slightly tall seat slowly rotates. Hidden in the chair is a figure that has been seen in the picture scroll.

It was a girl as delicate as a doll.

With golden morning hair and long hair, boundless blue eyes, under the glimmer of light, the fair skin is coated with a light golden layer.

As she sat down slowly and naturally, people suddenly realized that this was not a puppet, but a living girl.

If Chu Wangshu has a natural and flawless beauty, then she has a fantasy beauty that does not seem real.

Bai Gexin said, maybe in the dream world, it has its own beauty filter bonus.

"Welcome to my temple of thought."

Xia Luoli said softly: "Should I say we met for the first time?"

She stretched out her left hand to pick up the teacup, holding a red silk thread on the little finger of her left hand.

"We should have seen each other in Jinling."
