Chapter 920: Strange Train of Thought
Receiving this series of hints, Su Xiao immediately rushed out of the room with Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.
"Pay attention to scent and aura, although the possibility of perceiving it is not great."
Su Xiao instructed Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang barked, signaling it had received it.
Bang, bang, bang...
Several door-pushing sounds came in succession, and eight people rushed out of the room almost at the same time. Everyone stood on the landing in front of their respective rooms.
"Reasoning-type game, I like it."
Detective Xiao Luoli pressed the duck-tongue cap on her head, looking mysterious and unpredictable.
"According to the known information, Alice is hidden among us."
The gold-rimmed glasses man looked around at everyone, and finally stopped his gaze on Su Xiao. A moment later, he shook his head.
"It's very likely not a reasoning-type, but an elimination-type."
The Cat Woman spoke. She was vigilant against everyone, because anyone could be Alice in disguise.
"How so?"
The third brother of the National Football Team was obviously somewhat puzzled.
"If it were a purely reasoning-type game, there would be no need to separate day and night. It would only need day. What is the significance of night? It should be said that even if you are in the room at night, it is not safe. This is Alice's castle, and she can enter and exit all rooms freely. She can enter the room to kill at night. Five attributes at 80 points, all skills are lv. 40. That kind of combat power is very terrifying. Just a few game days, the number of people will drop sharply."
The Cat Woman's face didn't look very good. She was not good at this type of game.
"Not right."
Detective Xiao Luoli denied it in one bite. She had been very active since the beginning of this game.
"This is a reasoning-type game. Night is just a smoke bomb. If people really die at night, Alice can also pretend to be a dead person, hiding in the room all the time, only coming out to kill at night. She can mix among the living, and she can also mix among the dead. Compared to the living who often show up during the day, the dead are easier to cover up her identity."
Detective Xiao Luoli seemed to have activated some kind of mode, becoming very confident.
"Let's not talk about these details first. Let's summarize the game rules."
The gold-rimmed glasses man walked toward the living room below. Soon, eight people gathered on the sofa. Alice could not make a move during the day.
Su Xiao had been thinking about a problem, which was whether he could directly kill Alice's clone. Five attributes at 80 points, all skills at lv. 40 were indeed powerful, but for Su Xiao, that was not impossible to confront. His four attributes at 80 points were not for nothing. Even if he couldn't win, holding on for two hours was no problem. If he were attacked, he would have no problem surviving one night.
Su Xiao could survive the attack of Alice's clone for one night, but the gold-rimmed glasses man had no such thoughts at all. For him, an enemy with five attributes at 80 points was already very desperate, and as for skills at lv. 40, he basically had no chance of survival.
"First, we have seven opportunities, which are the questioning rights in the seven days. Each day, one person among us eight can use the questioning right. Others who want to use it can only wait for the next day. Therefore, this questioning right is the key to our victory."
The gold-rimmed glasses man crossed his hands. This was his habitual action.
"Proposal."
Detective Xiao Luoli spoke. She pointed to herself: "We question ourselves."
The gold-rimmed glasses man's eyes lit up: "This idea might be feasible."
"Oppose."
The leader of the National Football Team spoke.
"Reason?"
"Whether questioning oneself is effective is unknown, and there is a certain degree of risk."
"Agree with the National Football Team's point of view."
The Cat Woman also spoke.
"In that case, let's question according to the order of the room numbers."
The gold-rimmed glasses man gave a proposal.
"Agree."
"Oppose."
This time it was Su Xiao who spoke against it. He hadn't spoken all along, and the gold-rimmed glasses man looked at Su Xiao.
"Reason?"
"If someone dies at night, it will disrupt the order of the questioned and the questioner. I suggest the elimination method."
"Agree." x3
The three brothers of the National Football Team immediately agreed with Su Xiao's point of view. This was not because the two sides knew each other, but because if the elimination method was chosen, they would definitely be excluded first.
"It makes sense, then the elimination method. First exclude the suspicion of the three brothers of the National Football Team, but the questioning right has a big flaw. If excluded in order, there is a big luck component. If luck is good, everyone is happy. If luck is bad, even if the game is passed, more than half of us will die."
The gold-rimmed glasses man's words were not unreasonable. Regardless of whether it was questioning oneself, or questioning according to the order of the room numbers, or the elimination method, there were flaws. There were too many details involved, such as who used the questioning right first, and whether there were Alice's smoke bombs in these proposals.
The best method was to observe temporarily and question according to Alice's clues.
"Messy, this won't work, that won't work. Then we can only wait for death."
The Cat Woman slapped the stone table.
"Calm down."
The gold-rimmed glasses man's brows furrowed.
"I am very calm. Everyone, Alice is hidden among us, and how terrifying that kind of combat power is, everyone knows. Therefore, there is no trust between us. For example, the questioning right on the first day, there are eight of us, and there are only seven game days, so there is a chance that Alice will not be questioned. Plus the fact that people might die during the game, you don't need to think to know that whoever uses the questioning right first is safer. Alice will try to reduce our questioning right opportunities. People without questioning rights will be safer."
Everyone had a point, but there was only one correct answer. Su Xiao... couldn't think of it.
Su Xiao had never been a wisdom-type powerhouse. Although his IQ was not low and his basic layout was no problem, he was not the type of person who was close to a demon in wisdom. His method of dealing with Alice's clone was very simple: if the other party came to find him, he would find a way to kill the other party. Even if he couldn't kill her, the other party couldn't kill him in a short time. The troublesome thing was that he had to find out who Alice was within seven game days. Once the game ended and the Wolf Butler appeared, that would not be an enemy with five attributes at 80 points.
Su Xiao's train of thought was somewhat strange. While others were thinking about how to avoid Alice's clone, he was thinking about how to kill Alice's clone.
This game seems simple, but in reality, it is extremely difficult. The contractor disguised as Alice's clone has no flaws, and one cannot identify them through habitual actions; one can only observe behaviors that differ from those of others.
"We think about things too complicatedly. Why don't we change our train of thought? Think about things simply. Just the elimination method, first exclude the three brothers of the National Football Team."
Detective Xiao Luoli found that the situation was not right. If they continued to suspect each other, things would become more and more uncontrollable.
"Agree."
"Agree."
Su Xiao and Pi Pang spoke at the same time.
Su Xiao looked at Pi Pang, and Pi Pang nodded.
"Who doesn't obey me!"
Pi Pang stood up. Except for Su Xiao, the other six people were confused.
"Cough... not right, who doesn't obey us two!"
Pi Pang stood beside Su Xiao, and Su Xiao had already understood the other party's meaning.
Pi Pang and Su Xiao looked like the type with extremely strong combat power. Under the gaze of the two, Detective Xiao Luoli shrank her neck.
"I, I obey."
Detective Xiao Luoli raised her hand weakly. If she didn't obey, she would die.
"I also obey."
The gold-rimmed glasses man answered righteously. He also realized the current situation.
"We three brothers have no opinion."
"I also have no opinion."
The Cat Woman, who revealed her wildness, temporarily yielded. Getting everyone's reply, Pi Pang quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"The little girl is right. If we think about this game too complicatedly, we will all die. Alice is letting us suspect each other. Since that's the case, we won't suspect. On the first day, let's do an experiment to see if self-voting is limited, using the elimination method + self-questioning + room number order questioning."
"This method... is feasible!"
Detective Xiao Luoli thought of something and immediately agreed with Pi Pang's idea.
"Always have to take risks. Since that's the case, let's take the risk to try self-voting on the first day. First, according to the room number, the third brother of the National Football Team will question himself, and then proceed in reverse order. If someone dies during the period, and it happens to be that person using the questioning right, then act according to the situation."
Pi Pang's method could be considered the most stable, just like his body shape, very stable.
The questioning continued as: first the third brother of the National Football Team, then the second brother of the National Football Team, pushing forward in reverse order according to the room number. According to Pi Pang's thinking, no matter what, one must first determine whether anyone among the three brothers of the National Football Team was impersonated by Alice. The three were members of an adventure group, and their target was the largest. According to probability, the probability of Alice hiding among the three was not low. As for letting the three identify each other, it was simply not feasible. If Alice's disguise was so clumsy, she would have been picked out long ago. You must know that Alice had the memories of the impersonated, similar to storage space ability, numbers, etc., she could also impersonate, otherwise, a reconnaissance-type equipment could find her.
"That... can we question Room 1 first? My suspicion is also not small."
Detective Xiao Luoli spoke.
"No, the National Football Team's problem must be solved first. They deliberately chose to live in connected rooms. Start voting."
Everyone's eyes looked at the third brother of the National Football Team, and the third brother's eyelids drooped. ===== CHAPTER 921 =====
