Played by the devil in the palm of his hand

Looking through the narrow door, the outside is no longer a corridor, but a vast, borderless pure white world, giving people a particularly unrealistic feeling.

It was really white, the ceiling and the floor were spotless white, and you couldn't see the edge on three sides, even the wall at the entrance was white.This kind of room is a bit like the background of a character's monologue in a TV series, and it is also like a studio that has not yet built the set.

Xu Chi squinted his eyes unaccustomed, "It's so white, if you stay for a long time, you will get snow blindness."

"Don't worry, I won't let you stay for a long time." Jun Ye pressed his shoulders and led him into the white room affectionately. Xu Chi tried to break away, but although the other party's movements were very elegant and polite, But it took a lot of strength, and he couldn't break free for a while.

Xu Chi frowned, muttered a few words in dissatisfaction, and then walked in.

After a few people entered the room completely, the door behind them also quietly melted into the white background. Standing here, there was almost no other color in the world except themselves.

This made Xu Chi unavoidably recall the previous nightmare, he whispered: "Why do you have to make it so white?"

Jun Ye smiled, "To make the blood look more beautiful."

Xu Chi: "..."

"Just kidding." Jun Ye said meaningfully, "No matter what the situation is, bloodshed is something without beauty, it's just an effective means."

In the blank room, a waiter suddenly came out of nowhere—his clothes fit the atmosphere of the room very well, it was a pure white suit.

The waiter was holding a box with a round hole in it, just enough for someone to put his hand in, but he couldn't see what was inside.This is something like a lottery.

"The rules are very simple. There are many cards in this box with some common words written on them. You two form a team. A randomly draws a word from the box. B can ask A fifteen questions about this word. A question, A can only answer yes or no, and finally B successfully guesses the word, it is considered a victory, otherwise, B dies."

Jun Ye smiled, and added a sentence intentionally or unintentionally, "Of course, A is in a safe position. If A doesn't like B and wants him to die, he can naturally lie. That is to say, during the questioning process, there is no A request for an honest answer."

Xu Chi frowned slightly, and glanced at the others from the corner of his eye. He didn't think that anyone in the team would intentionally kill others.

"A is not allowed to disclose words to B, nor to have other violations." Jun Ye looked at Xu Chi, and said gently: "You should have played a similar game in the orphanage, right?"

The life in the orphanage is monotonous and boring, so the children learn many small games without a teacher. The rules of the game described by Jun Ye are called "mind reading skills" in the orphanage.

Xu Chi snorted coldly, "Yeah, thanks to you, it reminded me of a nasty memory."

"What memory?"

Xu Chi turned his head, "It has nothing to do with you."

"Okay." Jun Ye sighed slightly, "Then let's start, you can form groups freely."

This kind of game has nothing to do with tacit understanding, because no matter what the other party asks, the other party can only answer yes or no, and cannot provide more hints.

But when people form groups, they still choose people who are close to them.

Coco Lee and Li Wu were the first to form the group, but when they assigned the AB status, some disputes occurred.

It is obvious that the two brothers wanted to put each other in a safe place and take risks by themselves, but there was only one A. After the two quarreled for a while, Coco Lee finally lost to Li Wu's stubbornness and chose A.

Charles and Lin Xixi whispered something, and they formed a team, and Lin Xixi actually took the initiative to act as the B position.

Xu Chi stared at the two of them inquiringly. He always felt that the relationship between Lin Xixi and Charles was not quite right, unlike a simple boss and employee—it seemed that Lin Xixi had something in Charles' hands, and this handle was enough to make him In this dangerous environment, she still obeyed Charles.

For a moment of stupefaction, only Edward, Anna, and Xu Chi were left undivided into groups. Xu Chi looked at these two and spread his hands, "Odd numbers, how do we divide them?"

He had a hunch that he might have to come out alone.

But it doesn't matter, in fact, when he played this game in the orphanage, he was always the one who came out alone, or in other words, as long as it was a group game, he would basically come out alone, and then the young male teacher would help him...

Xu Chi closed his eyes, forced himself to wake up from the memory, and said to Edward, "You and Anna are in the same group, let Anna do A, she is stupid, she must guess wrong."

Anna raised her arms angrily, "Who are you talking about!"

In the middle of speaking, Edward covered his mouth and dragged him away. While suppressing Anna, he asked Xu Chi, "What about you?"

Xu Chi looked at Jun Ye and muttered, "I don't think I'll be alone this time."

Jun Ye answered in good time, "You can join me, baby."

He waved to the waiter, beckoning him to come closer, and then said to the others: "All A's can draw words. Of course, don't show the words to others except yourself."

Several people looked at each other, and went over to draw their own words.

Then a few white walls appeared out of nowhere on the floor, like a mechanism in a science fiction world, rising silently, and within a few seconds, separated these people into groups.

Xu Chi was forced to take a step back by the sudden appearance of the wall. When he came back to his senses, he found himself in a room ten by ten meters. It was still as white as a snow mountain as far as the eye could see, except that there were two more handles on the floor. The sofa chairs are placed facing each other.

There were three wall lamps inlaid on the wall facing him, but they were not lit.

He turned his head, only saw Jun Ye, and couldn't help frowning, "Where are the others?"

"In another room." Jun Ye sat on the sofa unhurriedly, crossing his long legs, "There is a waiter in each room as the host, but we don't need it, come and sit."

Xu Chi looked at him dubiously and sat opposite him.

Only then did he notice that Jun Ye was playing with a bronzing card the size of a business card between his slender fingers.Seeing that he noticed it, Jun Ye shook the card and said with a smile: "This is the word that was drawn just now, baby, do you want to start guessing now?"

Xu Chi stared at him warily. To be precise, he stared at the card in his hand. His gaze was as sharp as if he wanted to see the words on the front through the card.

Of course, Xu Chi doesn't have superpowers, so it's impossible to see it. He looked away resentfully, and raised his right hand to signal, "Before that, I have a few questions."

"please say."

"First, if I win, what will I be paid for?"

"I'll give you a hint about your name." Jun Ye thought for a while, "Although according to my plan, I shouldn't give you a third hint so soon."

"But if I win, will you honestly give it to me?"

Jun Ye smiled and nodded, "I won't lie to you."

"Then if I lose, will you kill me?"

Jun Ye looked at him helplessly, "You know you won't, are you trying to annoy me by saying this on purpose? But although you won't die, you will still be punished. Remember that dice?"

Xu Chi felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, he adjusted his sitting posture uneasily, and changed the subject, "What's the light on the wall for? Don't say it's for lighting, this room is almost blinding me."

"That's the indicator light in other rooms." Jun Ye patiently explained, "When they guess right, it will turn on a green light, when they guess wrong, it will turn on a red light, and when they make a foul, it will turn on a yellow light."

Xu Chi was speechless, "Is this the traffic light?"

"Well, by the way, you will die if you violate the rules, and whoever violates the rules will die." Jun Ye asked considerately, "Are there any other questions?"

"Yes." Xu Chi looked away a little embarrassed, and asked in a low voice, "Can you give me a cup of hot water? My stomach is not feeling well."

Jun Ye raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Not feeling well?"

"One thing, maybe it's because I drank a glass of cold water just now." Xu Chi stretched out his hand to rub his stomach, and muttered in a low voice, "Forget it if you don't have one."

Jun Ye looked at the position where he kneaded, which should be the stomach.He raised his right hand, and suddenly the outline of the door appeared on the white wall, and then the waiter pushed the door open, holding a cup of hot water in his hand.

Xu Chi took the cup and drank a couple of sips. Feeling a little better in his stomach, he cheered up, "Then I'll start guessing?"

Jun Ye nodded, "Let's begin."

Xu Chi has some experience playing this game, and the trick is to determine the number of words and the nature of the words within the three questions.

He asked, "Is this word two words?"

Generally speaking, the number of words in the game of 'mind reading' is at least one word and at most five words, and most of them are words with two words, so Xu Chi chose the safest way to ask.

Sure enough, Jun Ye smiled, "Yes."

Xu Chi couldn't help but feel complacent, this is called victory.

He asked again: "Is it something that really exists in human society?"

He seems to have only one question, but in fact there are two.First, determine whether it belongs to reality or fantasy, and second, determine whether it is an objectively existing 'thing', or a concept or adjective.

However, this question also has disadvantages. If Jun Ye answered 'yes', it would be fine, but if he said 'no', there would be many possibilities.

Perhaps the word is a concept of the human world, such as 'trust', or it is an objective existence of the fantasy world, such as 'angel' or 'thor'.

Xu Chi held his breath nervously, waiting for the other party's answer.

Jun Ye said: "Yes."

A gleam of joy flashed in Xu Chi's eyes, and he pretended to be calm and took a sip of the hot water, but in fact he was already complacent.

His temperament of cocking his tail when he is given some sunshine really cannot be changed, and he will not turn back until he bumps into the south wall, he will not cry when he sees the coffin, and he will not give up when he sees the Yellow River. body.

The whole body is full of hard bones, but they are easily broken, it is really beyond words.
