Survival Paradox [Infinite]

After another period of silence, Xi Lianghe spoke carefully: "Actually, I suspected that Su Delun was a 'ghost'."

Everyone looked at him.

"I think the 'ghost' is just like us. It's a newcomer, and it's scary. It kills the first person on the first night, and maybe kills the roommate nearby, so Chongzhou died." Xi Lianghe analyzed.

Wang Biao: "Anyway, he died at the hands of King Arthur, whether it was a ghost or not."

Yan Zerong said: "Otherwise, the remaining five of you will go again tomorrow to see if there are any invalid tickets?"

"I refuse." Wei Chi glanced at him, "If King Arthur kills people randomly, that person must die. It doesn't make sense for us to take risks."

Yan Zerong was embarrassed, but muttered again: "Always make sure that the 'ghost' is still there."

Cheng Shidao: "I don't think the ghost problem is the focus we need to solve now."

Yan Zerong: "He can kill people every night."

Cheng Shi: "When we play games, we always need to understand what the most important mechanism is. Does anyone remember the introduction of the role of 'ghost'?"

Wu Ke actually recited it verbatim: "A ghost is a shadow that roams the British continent. Its mission is to drag the whole world into the abyss. It can hunt and kill one person every night while ensuring its own survival." .Its power can only be taken advantage of in troubled times, so it needs to balance the situation in the world. If the light revives or the darkness comes, it will be saved soon. When its power is equal to the light and darkness, the world will be Fallen."

Cheng Shi: "Leave those nonsense aside, the point is: besides being able to kill one person every night, he needs to balance the situation. When he, the light, and the dark camps have equal numbers—that is, there are only three people left on the field, that is, the red and blue camps. Add one of each to the ghost, and the ghost's mission is complete—this is its victory condition."

Wei Chi heard Yuan Qi whisper "Oh".

Cheng Shi: "I speculate that the ghost should not occupy the seat, that is, before it completes its mission, the red and blue sides have already decided the winner, and the game is over, then he is not a victory as a third party. So it will kill both sides, The numbers of the red and blue sides will decrease simultaneously, and the existence of ghosts will not have a particularly large impact on the situation on the field until the number is reduced to a certain number."

Shang Yashu said: "But people will die..."

Cheng Shi: "Even so, other people seem to have no means to kill ghosts."

Yan Zerong: "I still think we should find out who the ghost is, at least to die clearly." After speaking, he glanced at Wei Chi again.

Wei Chi said: "I will definitely not get in the car tomorrow, whoever falls in love will get in."

Ji Jingzhe closely followed Shengyi: "I'm not going either."

Yan Zerong muttered softly, "You guys are so selfish."

Before Wei Chi and Ji Jingzhe could speak, Wang Biao exploded: "You are not selfish, kid? Why do people of your age look like this? You should understand that we succeeded in driving the car today! We are heroes! Do you want to die for you tomorrow? It’s so beautiful!”

Yan Zerong also yelled: "You are the only one who is interesting! If you succeed today, you will continue to open tomorrow! You can't play the game! And we are 'working coolies' today, so it is not impossible to die!"

"Okay, okay, don't make noise for now." Xi Lianghe said, "Let's talk about the selection tonight, let's eat first."

Wu Ke suddenly said: "The ghost doesn't need to get in the car to verify, can't it be verified later?"

Liu Chuanjie didn't react, and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean?"

Wu Ke shrugged: "You will know if you are still alive or not."

The night is coming again.

The others didn't talk any more, and finished their dinner dullly.Then follow the female mask back to yesterday's "hotel".

When Wei Chi returned to his room, Tang Yin had already gone into the toilet to wash up.He walked to his bed and sat down, thought for a while, and went out again. Just as he put his hand on the doorknob, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

His heart skipped a beat, and then he heard Wei Yuan calling in a low voice: "Brother."

He opened the door and followed Wei Yuan to the corridor.

Ji Jingzhe's room is at the end of the corridor, Ji Jingzhe and Yuan Qi are standing at the door waiting.When the four of them arrived, they tentatively walked a few steps into the deep darkness, and found that the corridor extended with their footsteps, and it seemed that it could be extended infinitely.They walked a little deeper, and after making sure that no one could hear them, Wei Yuan said, "Brother, I am a 'rebel'."

Wei Chi looked at him for three seconds, then nodded, "I know."

Wei Yuan: "But Yuan Qi is a 'loyal minister', it is impossible for us to win at the same time... Do you have any ideas?"

Wei Chi didn't speak, and the scene was silent for a while.

Wei Yuan smiled wryly, and said: "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it for the time being, let's talk about other things. I was also playing games last night, and the last operation time before I fell asleep was eight o'clock. Now... there are still 7 Minutes, let's make a long story short..."

Ji Jingzhe: "Then tell me about the rules of 'Avalon', I still don't understand much."

Wei Yuan: "..."

Yuan Qi: "I don't really understand..."

Wei Chi: "Actually, I haven't played it before, but I probably understand it. How about I explain it to you, Wei Yuan, do you think I understand it right?"

Wei Yuan: "...OK." Why do I suddenly feel like I've been delayed for three years...

Wei Chi: "On the surface, the mechanism is 'voting' and 'departure', but the essence is actually to find Merlin. This is a camp game, and all speeches, actions, and votes are actually divided into camps. Both red and blue are on the same page. Looking for Merlin, the red team is to find and kill Merlin, and the blue team is to protect and follow Merlin. Anyway, if Merlin is dead, the red team wins. Right?"

"That's right, it's my brother who can see through the essence at a glance." Wei Yuan turned his head and scolded those two, "Why are you two so stupid? Why can my brother eliminate all interference factors? "

Wei Chi: "Because I am Merlin."

Wei Yuan: "..."

Yuan Qi said: "Okay, I understand the essence of the game now...then what should I do?"

Wei Yuan: "It's not easy to find the essence? Our red team wants to kill Merlin, your blue team wants to protect Merlin, and Merlin himself wants to hide himself and pass on information at the same time..." Talking and finding less Personally, he turned his head and asked Ji Jingzhe: "What are you?"

Ji Jingzhe: "Loyal minister."

Wei Chi raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ji Jingzhe. Meilin could see the red square on the first night, and he had clearly seen Ji Jingzhe marked red. He didn't know why Ji Jingzhe didn't tell the truth at this time.

However, Ji Jingzhe was quite calm, his expression remained motionless.

Wei Yuan continued: "Then Lan Fang's way of protecting Merlin is nothing more than pretending to be Merlin himself and helping Merlin block the knife. How can he pretend to be like that? I conclude that it is to say less and make less mistakes."

Yuan Qi nodded, then wrinkled his face again: "But you are a 'rebel', how do 'rebels' play?"

"The rebels just try to get into the car, and then cast bad votes, blow up the car three times and the red side wins directly, so there is no need to find Merlin... What are you talking about now?" Wei Yuan turned to cry with Wei Chi, "Brother, What should we do now?" Finally, he wiped away the tears that didn't exist, "It seems that you Sanlan... If you can sacrifice me to save you three, then I can only be a traitor to Hongfang..."

Wei Chi was very anxious, and pushed Wei Yuan's head: "Don't make this plan yet."

Ji Jingzhe suddenly took out a small green bottle from his pocket and handed it to Wei Chi: "This is what's in the 'Holy Grail' I went to get today."

Wei Chi took it: "Is there something at that time?"

Ji Jingzhe: "The holy grail turns to ashes when I hold it in my hand, and this thing stays in my palm."

Wei Yuan: "What is this?"

"Poison." Ji Jingzhe said, "The moment I touched it, a voice rang in my head, saying that I could use it to kill a person."

Wei Yuan: "Does this mean...we can kill the 'ghost'?"

"I don't agree with us killing people." Ji Jingzhe looked at the green bottle in Wei Chi's hand, then slightly raised his head to look at Wei Chi's face, "But I don't dare to hide it, how to use it is up to you."

Wei Chi frowned and said nothing.

"Brother, I figured it out, why did you tell us to 'don't say anything' - the world this time is different from what we've experienced before, before we could share experiences with others, but not this time. It's like It was in escape mode before, but this time it is in confrontation mode, so it’s best to keep your mouth shut and play dumb, or you’ll be kicked out easily.” Wei Yuan said, “But we have indeed experienced this kind of world, including ‘sooner or later seven. The point is the critical time' and 'the world will return to reality during the day' are still there, so this is likely to have the same origin as the previous world, so... the ending may be the same as the previous ones. After death, in reality, only Amnesia... So, I think it through, if, if there is really no way to survive... I can..."

Wei Chi looked at his watch, it was less than 5 minutes before eight o'clock, and interrupted: "There is no time, listen to me: first point, don't think about death and immortality with me, we must never die, no one can The consequences of death are definitely more than just amnesia, time is running out, I won’t discuss it here.”

"Second point, we are in different camps now, but we all have to get out alive, so winning the game is not the goal, finding the exit is. I think even if the 'game' changes, there will still be an 'exit'. We are now What we have to do is not to hinder the progress of the game, and to find this 'exit' while ensuring that we don't die. For this reason, we can't all drive all the time, we need someone to spare time to find the 'exit', this time can only come from daytime , whoever stays should complete the daily 'coolie' as soon as possible, and then find an 'exit'."

"The third point is that I am Merlin. If I die, the game will end directly, so in front of other people, I will try to say as little as possible, or say the wrong thing. When necessary, I need you to help me cover."

"Fourth point, based on the poison bottle that Ji Jingzhe got today, I speculate that if the start is successful, there may be a 'false Holy Grail' at each location, and the first person who touches the 'false Holy Grail' can get this A random drop item, so if possible, we try to be the first to get the Holy Grail to prevent others from getting it."

"In addition, there is another thing. Today I met an old lady who set up a stall at the entrance of the amusement park. I don't think she could have appeared there for no reason. I think she should have something useful there. I think..." He raised the little green bottle in his hand, "We probably won't kill people, I want to exchange this bottle with her."

Ji Jingzhe: "I agree."

Wei Yuan: "I have no objection."

Yuan Qi: "Me too."

"That's fine." Wei Chi said, "No matter who gets in the car tonight, if there is any one of the four of us, come to me to get it before leaving, if you still meet that old lady, or a similar NPC character, just ask them to exchange things. What to exchange, just judge flexibly by yourself.”

The other three said yes.

"As for the game, we still have to keep playing..." Wei Chi was about to continue discussing everyone's identities when he suddenly felt sleepy and couldn't stop it.

Yuan Qi turned to the side and was about to fall to the ground.

Wei Yuan supported Yuan Qi, shook his head and forced himself to wake up: "It's time, let's go back!"
