Chapter 353: The Announcement Has a Problem!!

A long while later.

The eight people ended their contemplation. They discovered that it might be the rules being unreliable that led to them being unable to correctly deduce the real Killer A.

Li Jianguo looked at Wang Dazhu: "You just said that the murder in the plotline most likely happened opposite your door or next door."

He paused here, surveyed everyone, and continued: "In other words, the room we should search next is either 1808 or 1807. How do we divide up?"

At most four people can enter a room, but now 1806 is dead. If they still follow the plan of four people searching and four people staying outside, Killer A would have a chance to trigger the killing mechanism.

Of course, the prerequisite is that Killer A must be certain that Killer B is not among the four people.

Wang Dazhu pondered: "I feel the best plan right now is: one person enters the room to search, and seven people stay outside."

This proposal made everyone frown.

If this person is one of the killers, then after he/she finishes searching, they could completely choose not to state certain specific details. Not only could they evade lying, but they could also confuse everyone's deductions.

The Elite Male was glossy and neat from head to toe, his leather shoes were shining brightly, and even the injured area was on the palm of his hand. Furthermore, it wasn't the kind of casual bandaging; it was clearly meticulously treated. Even the bandaging gauze was perfectly neat, without a single drop of blood seeping out.

She couldn't help but associate it with how Big Gold Tooth laid a piece of paper on the door handle before reaching out to touch it when closing and pulling the door just now.

'Two germaphobes?'

'Isn't that a bit too coincidental?'

'What if these two germaphobes are both the same person? One is body memory, one is a subconscious behavior.'

'Then, who is the person who left the message for the Elite Male?'

'Something feels wrong!'

'What if, when the original owners of our bodies came here, they were in a normal state.'

'After leaving the text messages in their phones, the bodies and the amnesiac souls were scrambled, and then overwritten by our current memories...'

'Then, the message in the text: Target the person at the most disadvantage in the rules.'

'There might be a problem with it.'

'Simply put, if I was the person being targeted and I left the text message, then my soul ended up in someone else's body. The text message I'm seeing now is the message left by someone else, not the one left by 【me】.'

'But, the problem is 1806 is the stupidest. Under a normal state, logically speaking, he wouldn't leave a targeting text message on his phone.'

'Just now, 1801 didn't say there was a targeting text message on his phone. Therefore, his body should be 1806's. But according to the deduction just now, the Elite Male's body is actually 1806's body.'

'Why is this?'

'Unless, 1806's phone also didn't have a targeting text message left in it.'

'But, he just said there was, obviously lying, yet he wasn't immediately shot to death.'

'Is there a possibility...'

Thinking of this, the beautiful woman suddenly felt her mouth dry and tongue parched. She subconsciously reached into her pocket and felt a bottle of Chewing Gum.

She put a piece in her mouth and chewed twice, feeling that this shouldn't be what she needed.

So, she looked at Wang Dazhu: "Do you have any more Cigarettes? Give me one."

Wang Dazhu, who was deep in thought, was awakened. Somewhat bewildered, he handed over the Cigarette and the Lighter.

The beautiful woman lit the Cigarette and pocketed the Cigarette Case and Lighter. This set of silky-smooth actions made the corner of Wang Dazhu's mouth twitch. He hurriedly coughed twice to remind her.

"Sorry." The beautiful woman returned the Cigarette Case and Lighter to Wang Dazhu.

Seeing this scene, everyone also felt something was off. A woman had unexpectedly pocketed a Cigarette Case and a Lighter with such silky smoothness.

The beautiful woman didn't mind the strange looks from the others and continued her contemplation.

'Assuming 1806's phone didn't have a targeting text message left in it. He just said there was, and he didn't evade lying. Logically speaking, he absolutely lied, but we didn't shoot him. It was only when he said 【You are Killer A】 that we uncontrollably shot him. That proves there is a fundamental difference between these two lies.'

'【Having a targeting text message】, we can't judge whether this lie is a lie or not, after all, we didn't see the text message on his phone.'

'【You are Killer A】, this seems to also be an Unknown Lie.'

'The attributes of both lies are the same, why would there be a difference?'

'I can't just randomly guess here. I have to first verify 1806's 【having a targeting text message】.'

Thinking this, she walked to 1806's corpse and squatted down. After groping around, she didn't find his phone, hence she looked toward Room 1806.

"I think we should first search Room 1806."

Hearing this, Wang Dazhu nodded. He also felt some things needed to be verified.

Everyone had no objections, or rather, they had also noticed the clues.

It was just...

"How should we search?"

The Pan-faced Woman heard this and pondered slightly: "I assume everyone should have some guesses regarding the identities of the three killers."

"1801-1803, these three have a very high suspicion of being killers."

"Secondly, according to 1809's words, the next highest suspects are: 1807-1809."

Wang Dazhu frowned: "How could I possibly be a suspect?"

"Your identity is a security guard, and you just said that your injuries weren't caused by yourself after you woke up. Therefore, you might be related to the murder in the plotline."

"Fine." Wang Dazhu shrugged.

"Theoretically speaking, the only people without suspicion are: 1804 and 1805."

"So, my plan is that these two people enter Room 1806 to search."

Everyone pondered slightly and had no objections.

1804: Beautiful Woman.

1805: Pan-faced Woman.

The two women walked to the front of Room 1806. Just as they were about to pull open the door.

The beautiful woman turned her head and said: "Later, after we go in, you guys can try and see if you can pull open the other doors."

Everyone nodded.

Only then did the two women pull open Room 1806. Looking in from the outside, the inside was a ball of light. People outside couldn't see the room or the layout inside at all. When the two of them walked in.

The Pan-faced Woman still wanted to hold the door to prevent it from closing automatically. But to her astonishment, the moment they walked in, a force came from the door that she couldn't resist.

Bang, the door automatically closed.

Inside Room 1806.

The beautiful woman locked onto the phone on the table at the very first moment.

Picking up the phone, she opened the text message drafts.

First rule: Do not tell lies.

Second rule: Do not make affirmations about any uncertain things or words.

Third rule: Possibly, should, high probability, maybe, or, if; these are all vocabulary for the Avoidance of Lying.

Fourth rule: Do not talk to yourself.

Fifth rule: Do not say your identity and past.

After finishing reading the contents, the beautiful woman immediately deleted all the contents on it. The Pan-faced Woman didn't even see the contents on it at all.

"You!"

"Don't disturb me!" The beautiful woman seemed very annoyed when someone interrupted her deductions.

'As expected, there was no targeting text message.'

'Upon learning that the person without a targeting text message is Killer A, 1806 felt that he himself was Killer A. Fearing his identity would be exposed and he would be killed by the players present, he took the risk to lie just now, saying 【there is a targeting text message】.'

'But the problem is, when 1801 said there were no messages on his phone, 1806 should have realized that 1801 might have already deleted the text messages.'

'How could he foolishly go and Confirm 1801's identity?'

'Right, he had already lied, but nothing happened. So, a bald man doesn't fear getting more lice, and he chose to Confirm 1801, simply because in his view, nothing would happen if he lied, and since he had already lied anyway, telling one more didn't matter. That was why he chose to Confirm 1801.'

'Then the question arises.'

'Between the two lies 【Having a targeting text message】 and 【You are Killer A】, what exactly is the difference that led to one not resulting in being shot, and the other definitely being shot by everyone?'

'The lie 【Having a targeting text message】 is an Unknown Lie, then the lie 【You are Killer A】 is a known lie.'

'Following this train of thought...'

'Using this to rule things out. First, both lies were said by him right in front of everyone.'

'Therefore, the possibility of being shot only for lying in front of everyone can be ruled out.'

'Secondly, the first lie is related to an item, the second lie is related to a person.'

'This is possible.'

'Wait!'

The beautiful woman suddenly widened her eyes and hurriedly took out her own phone.

In the text message drafts folder.

Fifth rule: Do not reveal your identity and past to anyone.

'So that's how it is!'

'The announcement has a problem!'
