Chapter 610: Jiang Zhe: Instance, You Make Me Sick! (Two in One)

After the gathering dispersed, Jiang Zhe.

Returning to his dorm, he similarly also needed to sort out the logic inside this.

But when he finished sorting it out.

Looking at his dorm room number plate, he only saw the number on it was [403].

Of course, he and Chen Ran were not in the same dormitory building.

[403.]

[Today is October 4th, I am a senior student of Mechanical Engineering Class Ten.]

[The Double-slit Experiment is on the fourth floor of Experimental Building A, and is: Room 4-10.]

[My student ID: 100040.]

[403: The third dorm on the fourth floor.]

[Every dorm has four beds, then the tenth bed on the fourth floor is in...]

[Dorm 403!]

Thinking of this point, Jiang Zhe hurriedly looked to see what number his bed was.

[Number 2!]

[That is to say, my bed is exactly the tenth bed on the fourth floor.]

[10 and 4 appeared again!]

[10 and 4 both appear simultaneously.]

[Simply put, these two digits haven't appeared separately.]

[Is it 104 or 14?]

[It's 14!]

[Simply because, if it was 104, then Experimental Building A should be expressed as: Room 10-4.]

[And not: Room 4-10.]

[Simply put, among these sets of numbers, whether 4 or 10 is in front or behind is all fine.]

[Then, it's an addition relationship.]

[4+10=14.]

[10+4=14.]

[Therefore, the meaning these sets of numbers truly want to express is: 14!]

[14: Is it 'death', 'try a bit', 'try the teacher', 'pledge rally', 'dead dead'? The homophones are all incorrect.]

[Since it's not a homophone, then what meaning would 14 be?]

Jiang Zhe lit a cigarette. He felt he was getting closer and closer to the answer.

[Wait!]

[When we speak we will avoid lies, that is to say there exists a rule...]

[Prohibiting Lying!]

[The one that can be connected to prohibiting lying seems to only be the Hell of Tongue-Ripping, right?]

[Hell has eighteen layers.]

[Then, 14 is...]

[The 14th layer: Unjust Death Hell!]

[Unjust Death Hell: Those who take their own lives lightly, who do not cherish life, will come here after death.]

[What...]

[The f*ck...]

[F*ck!]

[F*ck!]

Jiang Zhe realized he had been duped. He shouldn't have deduced the answer. Right now his intestines were green with regret, and dense cold sweat covered his forehead.

[That is to say, this Instance requires being killed by someone in order to clear it.]

[But, the premise is you cannot take your life lightly, nor can you not cherish life!]

[But the question is, if you want to be killed by others, you will be taking your life lightly and not cherishing life.]

[This means, you have to engage in a life-and-death struggle with an opponent, and you cannot go easy. After exhausting all methods and IQ, truly being unable to beat the opponent and letting the opponent kill you...]

[Only then can you clear the Instance!]

[Is this a joke?]

[For example, I could go to the Cafeteria and throw poison to poison all the rest of the people to death, but I didn't go.]

[This would be judged as not cherishing my own life, after all throwing poison...]

[Has a probability of succeeding!]

[For example, I could set a fire and burn all the rest of the people to death, but I also didn't go, and this would also be judged as not cherishing my own life.]

[The conclusion is: Whoever the f*ck deduces the Instance clearing answer, will be very hard-pressed to clear the Instance.]

Jiang Zhe tremblingly took a drag of his cigarette. The corners of his mouth twitched a bit, continuously comforting himself.

[Maybe my deduction is wrong.]

[14 shouldn't be the Unjust Death Hell.]

[After all, theoretically speaking, prohibiting lying should be a habit we developed over a long term in the eerie world.]

[And 14 is the clue of this Instance; the two should have no connection.]

[Right!]

[It must be like this. Just now my deduction was wrong, absolutely wrong.]

But, he also clearly knew that this Instance had no plot.

Simply put, if there are no other discoveries on the campus, then this number 14 can only be related to the players themselves.

And the rules that exist on the players themselves:

One: Time loop.

Two: Prohibiting lying.

The first type: In the time loop, looking at it from the present, the only thing not affected is the number of people. But due to the existence of amnesia, this is unable to be controlled by players, and can be ruled out.

Then only prohibiting lying remains.

14 is related to prohibiting lying...

The answer can only be: Unjust Death Hell.

Moreover, in the Double-slit Experiment, not having an Observer yet particle characteristics appearing, very much fits the anti-Common Sense phenomenon of not deducing the answer yet being easier to clear the Instance.

[Fck fck f*ck!]

[Who the f*ck designed such a sickening Instance ah ah!]

Jiang Zhe was severely nauseated. Or one could say he had already resigned himself to his fate. Since he had deduced the answer, then next, he had to think about how, knowing the answer, it was very hard to clear the Instance.

[Those who take their lives lightly and do not cherish life are unable to clear the Unjust Death Hell.]

[Taking life lightly: suicide.]

[This is easy to say, just not committing suicide will do.]

[The key is...]

[Not cherishing life!]

[How can it be considered cherishing life?]

[Simply put, it's not placing oneself in danger, and also not letting oneself have the possibility of being killed.]

[First of all, for a person who has deduced the answer: Seemingly hiding away will not place oneself in danger, but it will face the danger of being unable to clear the Instance. Therefore one needs to go kill people 'to the greatest possible extent'. But this 'to the greatest possible extent' has a lot to be said about it.]

[Unless, multiple possibilities are compressed into a single possibility.]

[For example: Assume 'to the greatest possible extent' is throwing poison or setting a fire.]

[But mealtime has already ended, throwing poison can be directly ruled out.]

[As for setting a fire, if when the person who didn't come deduced the answer, our nineteen people were exactly searching the experimental building, and Chen Ran also sent people to guard every floor, for the person who didn't come setting a fire can also be ruled out.]

[Just like this, ruling out the other 'to the greatest possible extents' one by one, namely: compressing multiple possibilities into a single possibility.]

[Following this method, I should be able to deduce where the person who didn't come went.]

[Since throwing poison and setting a fire won't work, then that person's 'to the greatest possible extent' will become: looking for a weapon to kill people.]

[Gymnasium Storage!]

[From Chen Ran's performance, he should have also deduced the answer.]

[Then, Chen Ran's 'to the greatest possible extent' will become...]

[Do not let that person carry a weapon and appear on the campus, unscrupulously killing people.]

[Therefore...]

[Chen Ran should have gone to block the door.]

[Moreover, in this 'to the greatest possible extent' of his, anxiously rushing to block the door, he definitely doesn't have a handy weapon in his hands. As long as the person who didn't come thinks of a way to break the door, Chen Ran will undoubtedly die.]

[But, this is a death under Chen Ran's 'to the greatest possible extent', therefore...]

[Chen Ran will clear the Instance!]

[But the question is, as long as the person who didn't come discovers someone is guarding outside, under the situation of 'cherishing life', they won't go out, to prevent being sneak attacked by the person Waiting for the Rabbit to Hit the Tree outside.]

Thinking of this point.

Jiang Zhe: "..."

[No, these two, they're playing that quantum entanglement set here, right?]

Jiang Zhe's complexion was odd.

[No! There's a problem!]

[I have now deduced the answer. Then my 'to the greatest possible extent' is...]

[To go kill the two people who are in quantum entanglement, otherwise I will violate...]

[Not cherishing life!]

[After all, killing people can lower the risk of me being killed by others.]

[Holy sh*t! Is this right!]

Jiang Zhe dazedly discovered that he had been arranged clearly and plainly by those two people.

Or, for all the people who deduced the answer, they were all arranged clearly and plainly by those two, having no other possibilities.

Moreover.

Now, he had deduced that one of the two didn't have much of a weapon and was blocking the door, while the other had a highly lethal weapon inside the door. So the 'to the greatest possible extent' for a person who deduced the answer... would become: doing the utmost to kill the two people.

The best method to kill Chen Ran is:

Shooting him from a distance.

The best method to kill the person inside the door:

Throwing poison.

Moreover, the two were in a state of quantum entanglement; neither dared to move.

That is to say, the other people who deduced the answer had ample time to make preparations.

A weapon to shoot from a distance, for a mechanical engineering student like Jiang Zhe, could very easily be manufactured. As for throwing poison, that was even simpler. With so many chemistry supplies in the experimental building, wanting to poison the person inside the door who didn't come to death was simply too easy.

Looking at it from God's perspective.

Qiu Yinong's deduction was wrong. Chen Ran, from beginning to end, never Sacrificed the Pawn to Save the King.

He was merely, under the situation where he could guarantee his own Instance clear, cryptically reminding Qiu Yinong.

One had to say.

A sly dog will forever be a sly dog. How could he possibly make a decision to sacrifice himself?

...

Jiang Zhe took a drag of his cigarette. Although this entire series was his deduction, lacking evidence.

But, he felt it should be pretty close. He only needed to go to the Gymnasium and secretly observe a bit, and it would confirm his guess.

[There's still one more question.]

[Who is the true player?]

[Among the twenty people, there are Observers, there are players. If Observers die it's nothing; the key is if players die, the Instance will end.]

[This indeed is a problem.]

[However, Chen Ran asked before: In your memories, do you know each other?]

[For him to be able to ask these words, it means that in his memory, he knows one certain person among our eighteen people.]

[With high probability it's Qiu Yinong. After all these two were the first to arrive in front of the experimental building.]

[To be safe, I have to go to the Academic Affairs Office to check a bit, to see if the two have a classmate relationship. However...]

[The person who didn't come should have already gone to check long ago. Therefore the NPC inside the Academic Affairs Office has with high probability already been silenced.]

[That is to say, as long as I go to the Academic Affairs Office and discover the NPC has been silenced, it can prove that Chen Ran and Qiu Yinong know each other.]

[None of the rest of the people know each other, only the two of them know each other.]

[Then, the background of this Instance should be taken from the memory of a certain one of the two.]

[Namely, between Chen Ran and Qiu Yinong, at least one of the two is a player!]

[The number of players in this Instance, how many there are, I am unable to determine.]

[This is troublesome.]

[Under uncertain circumstances, I can only firmly believe that I am a player.]

[Fck, before I fcking lost my memory, exactly how formidable was I ah, to actually encounter such a sickening Instance ah ah?!]

However, thinking carefully, he was smarter than the himself in his memory, more sensitive towards the environment, moreover emotionally stable, and his spirit was even more exceedingly vigorous. This already explained that before he lost his memory, he was absolutely outrageously strong, at least outrageously stronger than ordinary people.

Putting away these messy thoughts.

[Since I am already this formidable, then the other people might also be this formidable.]

[They should also be able to deduce...]

[The answer!]

[However, there also exists deviation. After all it depends on the frequency of [10 and 4] appearing in front of them. Based on these two numbers, only then can the answer be deduced. Therefore among the remaining seventeen people, there might be quite a few who can't deduce the answer.]

[Unable to deduce the answer means 'to the greatest possible extent' doesn't exist.]

Simply put.

If you know the way home, the only thing you can do is go home following that road.

If you don't know the way home, then even if you walk the wrong road, it will also be judged as you looking for the way home.

By the same logic.

If you deduced the true answer, you have to do your greatest possible extent.

If you can't deduce the true answer, doing the greatest possible extent doesn't exist. Even if you are killed by someone, there doesn't exist a situation of taking life lightly or not cherishing life.

[So, at this time, what I should do most is go to the broadcasting station.]

[Let the people who can't deduce the answer all know what the true answer is.]

[Only this way can this IQ-dominated Instance be turned into...]

[A martial force-dominated Instance!]

However, right at this time...

[Hello everyone, I am the broadcaster of the broadcasting station, Chu Yinian. Due to various reasons, the broadcast will be paused today, please forgive me everyone.]

On the broadcast outside the dorm, someone's voice rang out. Following closely behind was a burst of smashing sounds ringing out, and subsequently a beep-beep sound of electric current transmitted out. Very obviously...

The broadcasting station was smashed by someone.

Then the person who smashed the broadcasting station should be a person who didn't deduce the answer.

Jiang Zhe: "..."

[As expected they are all smart people ah, thinking of smashing the broadcasting station so quickly.]

[It's just I can't figure out, since they didn't deduce the answer, how would they think of someone wanting to utilize the broadcast to announce the answer?]

[Unless, that person deduced that the answer cannot be deduced.]

[Holy sh*t, are they this strong?]

[Then, their next stop should be the multimedia storage.]

[Do I want to go stop them?]

[If I go, then my 'to the greatest possible extent' will become...]

[Killing that person.]

[Since that person didn't deduce the answer, being killed by me will clear the Instance.]

[Fck fck fck fck f*ck!!!]

[Sickening!]

Jiang Zhe truly was sickened by the mechanics of this Instance to the point of no return.

Taking two fierce drags of his cigarette.

[That person said he was Chu Yinian, but logically speaking, unless Chu Yinian was an idiot, he wouldn't reveal that he himself hadn't deduced the answer.]

[But we are prohibited from lying...]

[Therefore, the true situation is: Someone hijacked the person at the broadcasting station, making them say the words just now according to his/her meaning.]

[Motherf*cker, how did I, an honest person, enter an Instance together with this group of extremely vicious and wicked folks? I can't figure it out.]

[Thoughts returning to the main topic.]

[Besides the above situations, can I choose to wait for the next time loop?]

[Because the number of people won't be affected by the time loop, therefore...]

[If it loops tomorrow.]

[The number of people will become eighteen, and because there's no memory of today, then I would not have deduced the answer yet.]

[At the same time, in front of the experimental building, one person was killed by the person who didn't come, and one was tricked into the Small Forest by Chen Ran and killed.]

[The number of people will become sixteen.]

[Looping down according to this logic, wouldn't it mean that sooner or later I will also be killed?]

[Wouldn't it mean I could then clear the Instance?]

[Is it this simple?]

[No, the logic is wrong. If the me today does not cherish life, I have already met the conditions to remain in the Unjust Death Hell. Even a time loop cannot negate this point.]

[Moreover, it's very possible that it will appear that not cherishing life today will be directly judged as a person meeting the conditions, directly declaring Instance failure, and will not appear in the next loop.]

Jiang Zhe silently took a few drags of his cigarette, his eyes becoming sharp. He already had no choice.

[Next... I have to 'to the greatest possible extent' fight people to the death, and be killed by them!]
