Hyperreal board game

After An Ge finished speaking, she was ready to leave.

Alfred Faust said: "Please wait a moment, so far, no one can beat Mephisto. Please don't be impulsive..."

An Ge looked back at him and laughed, "Speaking of which, I haven't asked you why you were imprisoned for so long? Your lifespan has long exceeded the limit of human beings. Could it be some kind of magical talent?"

Alfred smiled again, like a star who was asked about his core competitiveness in a variety show, "I do... have a bit of talent for magic, but if I rely on my strength alone, plus potions, I can do it at most. Extend the lifespan to two hundred. Magicians can’t do things like letting humans live to seven hundred years old. It’s the power of demons.” He lowered his head slightly, and Julian Morpheus, who was raising his head in the audience, Tor looked at each other, "Or, the devil's curse."

"Nothing is right," Julian Mephisto looked at him with unprecedented tenderness, "Everything I did to you was out of love. Demons can only be expelled and sealed, but cannot be killed. I share my life with you, as long as I don't die, you will live forever. But on the contrary, if you die, I will disappear immediately. Faust, we have long been inseparable."

However, Alfred Faust did not respond to such an affectionate confession, he just looked away and said: "The host's energy is about to run out, this will be the last meeting. Please ask players Yizai and player Clay , Do you want to end the game immediately?"

An Ge pressed Yi Zai's arm, looked at the beautiful boy on the stage, his skirt and his slender legs under the skirt were nowhere to be seen.

An Ge said: "Host, thank you. I know you want to save us. However, I will not choose to do nothing and leave when I know there is a way to save you... I just want to ask: If you and What happens to you when the demon you share your life with is gone, or dead?"

Alfred Faust was stunned. Before he disappeared, a peaceful smile appeared on his face: "It will be... very satisfying..."

An Ge got the answer, and left the hall without looking at Mephisto's face curiously.

Yi Zai and him walked side by side to the library, stretching his hands and lamenting: "This is too ironic, the contract that can't be fulfilled by all means can be completed at the cost of my own death."

"It's just a false proposition with an untenable premise. Don't take it too seriously, my dear compatriots."

"What are you following?" Yi Zai quickly grabbed An Ge's shoulders, and the two of them avoided to the other side of the corridor, staring at him with a gloomy expression, "Also, who is your compatriot!"

With both hands in his pockets, Mephisto stepped forward steadily with his long legs, his face was shrouded in shadow, his voice remained unchanged, "For the sake of half a compatriot, let me give you a piece of advice—don't My compatriots are much ruder than me, and it is better to die at my hands than to suffer a thousand times more pain in the future."

Yi Zai sneered: "Dead by your hands? How old are you?"

Mephisto continued to smile gracefully: "I'm not talented, compared to you..."

Before he finished speaking, he stepped on something soft and warm.

The demon lowered his head in silence, just in time to meet the eyes of the red-eyed rabbit who raised his head angrily.

Mephisto: ? ? ? ! ! !

An Ge: Plan to pass.

Yizi: ^_^

Leaving behind Mephisto, who was besieged by the rabbits, An Ge and the two arrived at the library smoothly.

Yizi had already abstained, and An Ge answered three questions smoothly.

I just made a slight modification when answering the second question: "I guess the change at that time was because Faust committed suicide out of despair, so the contractual relationship with the devil was broken. The devil did not accept being unilaterally terminated the relationship , rescued Faust, and forcibly detained him. In this way, the library will not be able to send it out.”

The green light kept shaking, and after a long pause, a voice came out: "The analysis is as if you have experienced it yourself, you must not be cheating, right?"

An Ge didn't admit it or deny it, but said: "Is there someone cheating on your side? You also made it clear that you want to cheat and deceive people. It's too lawless."

Green Light said: "This is outside the scope of my duties. Then, pass, and then, the third question..."

The answer to the third question is very simple. Faust is imprisoned in a secret room under the master bedroom.

The fluctuation of the green light was very obvious, "Congratulations, player Clay, you have passed the treasure quiz..."

"Congratulations, player Clay, you have entered the final hidden level, named [Book Collection Battle], which will officially open in three seconds."

Yi Zai: "Hey, is it reasonable? Do you even give up if you abstain?"

Mephisto turned a deaf ear and came in from outside the library.In such a short period of time, he has changed his clothes, and the previous one must have been bitten to pieces by rabbits.

As he walked in, the bookshelves around him retreated automatically, revealing a large open space, and some books flew out from every corner, piled up in a messy pile.

Mephisto then explained: "If you want to inherit the library, you naturally need to have relevant skills. For example, sorting out books, the purpose of this hidden level is to test the basic skills of the inheritor. I will take turns taking away the ones on the ground with you. Books, the number of books that can be taken away each time is 1-3. If all the books are taken away smoothly, you will win, if there is the last one left, then whoever takes the last one will lose. Understand Yet?"

An Ge nodded expressionlessly: "It sounds like I have a relatively good chance of winning. In short, I can either take all the books or leave you a book, and I can win."

Mephisto nodded with a smile, and An Ge asked again: "Since collecting books in turn, who goes first?"

Mephisto put on the white gloves slowly, and thoughtfully threw a pair to An Ge, "Old rules, according to the agility value of each attribute."

An Ge put on the gloves without saying anything, "Let's get started."

According to the agility values ​​of the two, Mephisto was naturally far better than An Ge, and he had the opportunity to go first without hesitation.He bent down, randomly took two books from the pile of books, and threw them behind him. The pages of the two books flipped and flew, circling and falling side by side on the reception desk.

Then he made a please gesture to An Ge.

An Ge didn't move, he looked at the pile of books, and after a while, he turned his head and confirmed with Yi Zai: "There are 35 books in total, and he just took away two, isn't that right?"

Yizai nodded immediately: "The numbers are completely correct."

An Ge just laughed: "Then, my dear NPC, you arrange a small game where I must lose. Does this comply with the rules?"

Mephisto spread his hands: "Although luck is also a part of strength when playing games, you shouldn't be so unconfident, Clay? Did you give up without even trying?"

An Ge walked to the side of the reception desk, took out a pen and paper and began to write numbers, "The trick of this game is, as long as the number of books left for the opponent is a multiple of 4 + 1, then you will win for sure."

He wrote a simple formula in his notebook: 4N+1

Mephisto took away two books just now, and the remaining number became 33, which is exactly 4x8+1.

接下来无论安歌拿走1/2/3本书，剩余32/31/30本，摩非斯托可以通过拿走3/2/1本书，使得剩余书本数量都变成29。

Next, follow the same method, Mephisto only needs to make the number of remaining books fixed at -4 each time, and become 25/21/17...that is, only need to maintain the number of books left for Ange at 4N+ 1, then, the last book will definitely fall into An Singer.

Mephisto smiled and applauded: "I thought it would take at least one or two rounds before you would find out, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."

An Ge lowered his eyes and calculated again, "As long as you keep taking the lead, you will definitely win, and players who have only experienced three or four mods, even if all their bonuses are stacked with agility, they will not be higher than you... Therefore , you must always take the lead and always win.”

No one cared about Yizai, and he felt that the divine beast Yizai had been passed out, so he could only squat in the corner beside him in a daze.

Mephisto continued to applaud calmly, "You have seen through everything, which is quite exciting. But, what's the use of that? You still have to continue this game. Player Clay, it's your turn to act."

However, An Ge threw away the pen, switched to typing on the phone for a while, and at the same time said blankly: "I complain that NPC Mephisto maliciously set unfair game rules, which seriously damaged the balance of the game."

Mephisto: ...and this trick!
