Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1786 The Power of Narrative

"Words, the right to speak?" Duck Down stammered, "I don't quite understand... I even forgot the name of the dungeon."

This was the part that Lin Sanjiu hadn't explained to her.

"When I was rushed into this dungeon by the river, for some reason, I said to the duck down, 'I finally brought you here'." Lin Sanjiu looked at the crowd and said, "It's exactly this sentence The words made Duck Down feel that I was very suspicious, and later deducted a large part of my credibility."

Duck Down rubbed his nose embarrassingly, as a default.

"At that time, I noticed that you are all from Fanjia City, you have a common experience, and you are facing an unknown dungeon together, but you don't have the slightest intention of fighting against each other and helping each other. Instead, you are on guard against each other, as if you are afraid that others will attack you. .”

At this time, everyone in the room was the same as before, with arms crossed several steps away from each other; the difference was that their eyes were all focused on Lin Sanjiu.

"Now I understand why. Because it's not just me who inexplicably said very suspicious things... the same people, at least there are Jiang Tian and Dr. Chen."

"I really don't understand what I will say when I say something," Jiang Tian sighed, covering her face, "My explanation later was not convincing enough..."

"That..." Mouse Face said hesitantly, "Wan Fute also said that. He said I misunderstood..."

"If you're not limited to what you said verbally, then you're also acting weird," the primitive man immediately responded.

As soon as someone started, several people immediately pointed out the suspiciousness of others; they themselves were also called "abnormal behavior" by others - from this point of view, before the 12 people entered the dungeon, the suspicion of others and The wariness is already very strong.Some people don't even realize that they are unknowingly suspicious until others point it out.

Lin Sanjiu raised his hand, stopping everyone's discussion.

"Not surprising, this is the 'initial setting' given to us by the copy."

Her gaze seemed to be a reminder. Those who were watched by her remembered the warning not to move, and one by one regained their positions. "Among a group of people with incomplete credibility, when you know that others are wary of you, it is not only difficult to spread Media and Message, let alone succeed four times in a row, it is almost an impossible task."

"So we need to rebuild credibility?" Jiang Tian responded.

"That's right." Lin Sanjiu nodded, "But it's very difficult to rebuild credibility. Even if you try hard to prove that a sentence of yours is the truth and make someone believe you, a sentence can only produce a probability of 0.1 divided by 12." Reliability... so little that it can be ignored. If one person thinks you are lying, it will be bad, and you will be deducted 0.1 for a single sentence. It is precisely because of this deliberately designed imbalance in the score that led to the Here, telling the truth is just a dumb way."

"But if you don't tell the truth... how can you increase your credibility?" Jiang Tian asked with a puzzled expression, "Isn't the risk of telling lies even greater? If it is confirmed and discovered afterward, it may even establish a liar's reputation." impression."

"It's very simple, tell the truth or not." Lin Sanjiu replied slowly.

After a pause, everyone's confusion, suspicion, and unbelief surged out together. "What is the word that is neither true nor false?" "Either it is true or false, how can there be something in between?" "Besides, how can this rebuild credibility?"

"On the basis of a fact that is visible to the naked eye, establish a set of convincing narratives, and you can win over believers." Lin Sanjiu raised his hand and pointed to the dead body of Doctor Chen on the other side of the room. Slowly quieted down.

She stared at the crowd and said: "Dr. Chen's recording system is a fact, and his death is a fact. We don't need to be persuaded to know that they are true. But they are just two small fragments of the whole situation."

The firelight cast huge black shadows on the wall; no one spoke or moved in the room, they were all quietly waiting for her to speak.

"We only have a few fragmented facts in front of us. For example, Dr. Chen died, for example, he asked us to collect papers. These fragments alone can't explain anything. But at this time, based on the fragmented facts, someone claimed that I pieced together the truth myself, and came up with a plausible narrative... It's neither Media nor Message, safe, right?
"When you think this whole narrative is the truth, you naturally add a lot of credibility to that person; even if you don't agree with this narrative, you will only think that the person is wrong, not that the other party has intentions. Telling lies to lie to you, right?"

Lin Sanjiu smiled slightly - because she really saw the ugly faces in the crowd.

"How did Dr. Chen die? Who killed him? What was the killer's motive? Why did he choose to kill him at this time? Is his recording system for our benefit or for his own convenience? Do you know the truth? You don’t really know. You just believe you know because you believe other people’s stories.”

"What do you mean?" Wenya asked in a deep voice, staring at her from under her eyelids.

"I hope you can think about it carefully," Lin Sanjiu said without listening to him, "There are currently three sets of narratives circulating among us surrounding the death of Dr. Chen, and each set tells a different story. wrong?"

Judging from the faces of the people, some people were struggling to understand what she meant, some people were stunned, and some people were staring at Lin Sanjiu without expression.

"I still don't understand..." Hana said blankly, "What do you mean by narrative?"

"I'll start with the two narratives that appeared recently, because they both belong to the same person." Lin Sanjiu smiled at her, raised his hand and slowly plucked a few eyebrows from the center of his eyebrows. "First, Dr. Chen's recording system is for hunting microphones. Someone secretly noticed this and killed him; second, Dr. Chen's recording system affected someone's hunting for microphones. In order to let us suspend the recording system, we put He killed."

Amidst the sound of breathing, several people turned their heads and stared at Wen Ya.Wen Ya kept a cold face and said nothing.

"That's right, as you all remember, he proposed these two narrative angles alone." Lin Sanjiu sighed and said, "It doesn't matter which one is the truth, because he doesn't know...but as long as If you choose to believe it, it is equivalent to accepting Wen Ya's narrative perspective, which will not only increase his credibility, but also make you less resistant to the story he will tell next."

"As long as we believe in him, he will establish..." Yarong murmured, "'right to speak'?"

"Exactly." Lin Sanjiu nodded and said, "The establishment and improvement of the right to speak requires a certain foundation of trust in the speaker. For example, as long as everyone believes that a person is very powerful in a certain industry, That person has more power to speak than his peers; if you believe that someone cares about you and is good for you, that person has more power to speak than strangers. In the same way, once you believe that Wen Ya found the truth in the copy, he will continue to After that, you have the right to speak about 'what is more truth'. This is the essence of the 'battle for the right to speak'."

"You kid, you want me to believe you and turn me into a sounding board!" Haina shouted angrily, startling the people who were still thinking in a daze: "You told me that the murderer was just trying to kill Chen. Doctor, I don't need to be too careful, is this also the reason?"

"Don't move," Lin Sanjiu said quietly, but stopped Haina.

"Your eyebrows..." Jiang Tian looked back at her, unable to bear the surprise on her face.The only person present who was not surprised by Lin Sanjiu's change of appearance was Eider - not only was she not surprised, she seemed a little proud of seeing others surprised.

"Actually, Wenya adopted two narrative angles, which is not the best policy, because it will reduce the persuasiveness." Lin Sanjiu did not respond, but continued to say while pulling another eyebrow: "But I think he was also forced to There is no way...he has already noticed the most influential and convincing narrative in the dungeon, and in order to fight against it, he can only occupy as much space as possible for himself."

"What narrative?" Luo Ab asked in a daze.

"'A killer among us is planning to assassinate us one by one.'" Lin Sanjiu turned to look at the woman who had been silent all this time, and asked in a low voice, "Am I right, Guan Nan? "

　Sometimes when I write a text, the first word that pops up is English (when I write English, sometimes the first word that pops up is Chinese), and then when I switch languages, I always find it difficult to find the appropriate Chinese for the following words replace:

grunt, groan, rumble, whimper, grumble, snap (in the context of someone snapping at someone, I think this is the most difficult)... In fact, there are many more, which may be the reason why I can't speak two languages. , which one of the vocabulary is too small.
