Chapter 355: Amnesia, Various Natures Exposed (2)
"You guys actually didn't die?"
Hearing the Beautiful Woman's words, everyone just smiled and didn't speak.
Perhaps, in the hearts of the six of them, they already had some guesses.
But soon, their gazes became solemn again, and they quietly distanced themselves.
The next moment.
Wang Dazhu, the Short and Fat player, and the Youth, the three of them simultaneously rushed to the doors and prepared to pull them open.
But, no matter what, the three doors couldn't be pulled open. Standing in front of the door, Wang Dazhu took a deep drag of his Cigarette, looking at the two with a half-smile.
The Youth also looked at the Short and Fat player and Wang Dazhu, his gaze teasing.
The Short and Fat player was exactly the same.
Immediately after.
Everyone stared intently at 1801!
1801 was calm and composed, ignoring the gazes of everyone looking him up and down: "You guys aren't suspecting me to be Killer A in the plotline, are you?"
"Theoretically speaking, just now when the two of them went into the room to search, if neither of them is a killer in the plotline, then out of the six people outside the door, three are killers in the plotline. This conforms to Killer A's killing mechanism in the announcement. But Killer B in the plotline is also outside, therefore Killer A in the plotline didn't dare to trigger the mechanism."
Saying this, he pointed at the Beautiful Woman.
"But, after her reminder just now, Killer B in the plotline might preemptively run into a room during the next search. As long as two more people enter a room, Killer A in the plotline outside can trigger the killing mechanism."
Immediately after, he pointed at the four people: "Three of you are running, one is preparing to run."
"I didn't run, nor did I make the motion to run. Therefore, you suspect I am Killer A in the plotline?"
Indeed, out of the four people running, there was a very high possibility that they were Killer B. As long as he/she disappeared from Killer A's sight, then Killer A, once the killing mechanism was met, would kill.
"But, have you considered that Killer C in the plotline is still outside."
"If Killer C in the plotline is outside, and Killer A in the plotline kills someone, their identity will be immediately discovered by someone; if Killer C in the plotline also runs into the room to search, which means both Killer B and C in the plotline have entered the room, let me ask you, how many people are left outside?"
Simply put...
If Killer BC are in the second round of searching.
There are six people left outside.
Killer A's killing mechanism cannot be triggered.
The Sinister Youth, making the motion of rushing the door as a backup, counting him in, if three people go to search the same room, then there are five people left outside, which also cannot trigger...
Killer A's killing mechanism!
Therefore, to pitch the people outside into a deadly trap.
Unless there is a fourth person making a fourth grab for the door.
The three people are the first move.
The Sinister Youth is the second move.
Killer C is the third move.
The fourth person is the fourth move.
Four people enter to search, and among them are Killer BC; any Killer A outside who dares to trigger the killing mechanism, then he/she will be the only one left alive. Their identity would naturally be exposed, which is simply seeking death.
Therefore, whether it's Killer A or a civilian, there is no need to grab the doors.
It's not over yet. At the same time, if only Killer A and three civilians are left outside, then the four people coming out after searching the room would also immediately trigger Killer A's killing mechanism.
In other words, as long as four people enter a room to search, except for Killer A, the other seven people will be completely annihilated.
So, the three people grabbing the doors weren't genuinely wanting to go in and search; they were just probing for Killer B's identity.
Conclusion: Whether you grab the door or not, a situation where four people enter to search will not occur, so why is there a need to grab the door?
Understanding this point.
The Short and Fat player, Wang Dazhu, the Youth, and the Sinister Youth all smiled awkwardly.
This was indeed the truth. They just wanted to trick Killer B into grabbing the doors with them.
And by the way, push 1801 【to a dead end】 to see how he reacted.
They had originally thought that 1801 would use other methods to prevaricate, or take out evidence to prove he wasn't Killer A. They didn't expect...
In just a few words, 1801 laid bare their plans. From this, it could be seen that this guy being able to figure out the key links in such a short time meant his IQ was frighteningly high.
However...
Now, the scope of Killer B was locked onto the four people who just grabbed and prepared to grab the doors.
The Short and Fat player, Wang Dazhu, the Youth, and the Sinister Youth. Among these four people...
One person might be Killer B!
Now that the doors couldn't be pulled open, it meant the plotline was about to begin.
In the plotline they had deduced.
First, two people drink.
1801: Go drink.
1802: Throw a drunken fit.
Then, the specific rooms are either 1801 or 1802.
Therefore, these two rooms should be able to be pulled open. But this wasn't the focal point.
The focal point was... both 1801 and 1802 had the possibility of being Killer A.
And the suspicion was huge.
If they were allowed to enter the room and act out the drinking plotline, problems would probably arise.
Silence.
The more silent they were, the more panicked everyone felt. Because logically speaking, at this time...
Killer C should expose their identity.
As long as it was confirmed who Killer C was, then if 1801 and 1802 went into the room to search, if one died, the one who survived...
Would definitely be Killer A!
It might seem strange here. During the previous group chat, everyone had already deduced that Killer C was 1803. Why couldn't they be certain now?
The reason was very simple.
Deduction ≠ Fact.
They didn't have enough evidence to prove that 1803 was Killer C.
1801 and 1802 going to act out the plotline.
If one died.
It could be: A killing a civilian.
It could be: B killing A.
It could be: C killing B.
Then they wouldn't be able to deduce the specific identity of the person who came out alive.
Therefore, they needed Killer C to voluntarily expose their own identity.
This way, they could rule out:
C killing B.
And when two people enter, it would immediately meet Killer A's killing mechanism. Even if the other person was Killer B, there would be no time to Confirm Killer A.
Then, the person who survived would definitely be Killer A.
So, in the upcoming plotline acting.
As long as Killer C exposed their identity, both 1801 and 1802 could walk out of the room alive.
But, they absolutely didn't expect that it would get stuck exactly at this link. Killer C didn't expose their identity, and things became troublesome.
Simply because...
Either Killer C is stupid.
Either Killer C wants to pitch people into a deadly trap.
Or...
1806, who just died, was Killer C.
The third one was the worst-case scenario.
…
The Beautiful Woman frowned: "Is Killer C in the plotline still not going to expose their identity?"
However, facing her almost blatant reminder, the others still Looked At Each Other In Dismay.
Suddenly, everyone's hearts skipped a beat, and they abruptly turned their heads to look at 1806's corpse.
An emotion of despair filled the entire corridor. If 1806 was Killer C...
Didn't that mean Killer B would fall into a berserk state, and just like Killer A's mechanism, could kill people once the conditions were met?
More crucially, if that was the case, Killer B would also realize that he/she could kill people just like Killer A. By then, it would be even harder for the civilians to judge whether the person killed later was by Killer A's hand or Killer B's?
Facing everyone's burning gazes, the Elite Male had a bitter expression and shrugged helplessly, as if saying:
I am not Killer C.
