play a game with me

"Are you saying that what happened here has actually happened once in reality?" Ami asked, "He killed so many animals, and then he started to try something bigger..."

Gu Ye was silent for a while, then said: "This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Amei covered her mouth and said in disbelief, "So, we've been living with a sociopath..."

Gu Ye said: "We always think that antisocial personality will be very different. In fact, even if there is such a person standing in front of you, you can't recognize it. They are actually the same as ordinary people, and even more likable than ordinary people. People like it, because they don't care about laws and morals, and imitate other people like chameleons. But," Gu Ye paused, "but this is just a guess of mine, we..."

"We don't have any evidence yet," Ye Tian interrupted impatiently. He is a medical student and has some knowledge of psychology. "This is a dead end. Evidence? It doesn't exist. Antisocial personality doesn't need anything." The trigger condition is that he is born, he may even have a happy family, he may even get married and have children, the things in his genes are different from ours, and their behavior does not need a reason at all.

"There may be no reason for his motives, but there are reasons for his actions," Gu Ye explained: "At least those living specimens on the second floor have."

Everyone is not talking, but there are no more ideas.They looked at Wang Dehui again, Wang Dehui was still playing games, he was settled on the sofa, like a round potato. Number 11 angrily scolded "dead otaku", and then walked aside.

In the afternoon, Wang Dehui ordered takeaway. Although everyone still had no appetite, they hadn't eaten all day, and they couldn't stand it. Enduring their disgust towards Wang Dehui, they reluctantly ate some.Gu Ye didn't touch it, and went to the refrigerator to get a carton of milk to drink. He didn't feel too hungry. Now his difficulties are much more serious than hunger.

After dinner, Wang Dehui went back to playing games on the sofa. It was almost ten o'clock when he suddenly threw the game controller on the ground, leaned his head on the sofa and sighed: "It's so boring... I don't want to play this anymore." He suddenly His eyes lit up, as if thinking of something, he said excitedly: "Hey, let's continue playing what we just didn't finish. Where are we now?"

Everyone sat around the coffee table again.Wang Dehui turned off the chandelier, opened the small floor lamp in front of the sofa, and clapped his hands, "The game begins..."

He whispered, "Please close your eyes when it gets dark..."

All players close their eyes.

Wang Dehui said: "Prophet, please open your eyes."

Gu Ye opened his eyes, Wang Dehui smiled at him with the light behind his back, "Prophet, who is the person you are going to test tonight?"

After a round of speeches this morning, Gu Ye has roughly ranked 4 wolves out.

Tan Lin is a wolf, he has tested it, it is undeniable.

No. 3 is a typical werewolf jumping fiercely, and he has a strong identity.

Next came No. 4 and No. 10 Ye Tian. These two people had obvious tendency to speak, so Gu Ye decided to check one of them tonight to verify his conjecture.

No. 4 can be temporarily released, but Ye Tian is a time bomb.

Based on Gu Ye's understanding of Ye Tian, ​​Ye Tian is not a trustworthy person.

Everyone has a selfish side, and Gu Ye is no exception. He must be sure that his efforts can be rewarded.But Ye Tian used his countless actions to show that this is impossible.Gu Ye hoped that they were on the same side, because if not, his situation would be quite dangerous.

Gu Ye compared a number 10 to the judge—Ye Tian's serial number.

Wang Dehui nodded and said with a smile: "Okay." He gave a thumbs up and said: "This gesture is good," then he put down his thumb again: "This gesture is bad," he paused slightly, " His identity is..."

Just before Wang Dehui gave the answer, the lights in the hall went out again, and they went straight into the night.

Just like last time, Wang Dehui didn't easily give clues.The game is interrupted again.Wang Dehui checked the chandelier and said that there was a power outage and asked the players to rest early.Everyone fell asleep again like last time.

Gu Ye closed his eyes and tried to sleep. After an unknown period of time, he fell asleep in a daze. Suddenly he heard the sound of someone talking. He woke up immediately, opened his eyes, and listened carefully. The sound came from behind the sofa. here.Gu Ye raised his head silently, and saw two figures behind the sofa, one tall and one short,

"It's impossible, do you know what you're talking about?" This was Ye Tian's voice.

"I know." It was Tan Lin's.

"Don't think about it, it's impossible."

"If you haven't tried it, how do you know it's impossible?"

What are they arguing about.

Suddenly, the two stopped, as if noticing someone waking up, they turned their heads and looked at Gu Ye.

This time the two old teammates are in the hostile camp, Gu Ye can only say that this feels too sour.

Ye Tian was taken aback for a moment, then frowned, looked at him, then at Tan Lin, "How could it be..."

Even if Gu Ye's identity is a prophet, he can only test one person a night, and it is impossible to see the scene of two wolves talking at the same time. This can only show one thing, that is, he already knows the identities of these two people. up.

Ye Tian's mind was still ok, so he immediately found a thread from the winding circle, and said, "You tested Tan Lin last night, and me tonight? Or, you tested me last night, and Tan Lin tonight." Lin? But it's impossible, if you find me, you can't say nothing in the morning, shit," Ye Tian suddenly reacted, glared at Tan Lin angrily, and complained: "Damn, another spy, no wonder You help him in the morning."

Gu Ye said: "What do you blame him for? He doesn't remember." Tan Lin couldn't know whether he had been tested during the day, and Tan Lin couldn't remember what happened between them at night. His help was purely a condition of the situation at that time. reflection.

"Where are your other teammates?" Gu Ye looked around, but couldn't find anyone else, "No. 3 and No. 4, where are they?"

Ye Tian immediately showed me Cao Le's expression, and tilted his head to look at Gu Ye. Gu Ye was frightened by the look, and said, "What do you think I am doing?"

Ye Tian said seriously: "Did you peek at the cards while we were closing our eyes?"

"No." Gu Ye said.

"Really?" Ye Tian didn't believe it.

Gu Ye said: "Really not."

"Okay," Ye Tian pursed his lips, "You can find out all the wolves in just one round of speaking. What's the fun in playing games with people like you?"

Gu Ye also had a bit of luck in this game, his moves were too risky, it was luck that he didn't get thrown out when he predicted that the police would speak out during the day

Gu Ye didn't talk nonsense with Ye Tian, ​​but brought the topic back and said, "What were you arguing about just now?"

Ye Tian regained his normal shape. He glanced at Tan Lin and said, "Ask him."

"Tan Lin?" Gu Ye looked at Tan Lin.

Tan Lin said, "There was a little disagreement between us."

"What difference?" Gu Ye asked.

Ye Tian couldn't bear it anymore, and complained to Gu Ye: "His idea is unrealistic, it is impossible!"

"what idea?"

Ye Tian said: "Let me ask you a question, if you were a werewolf tonight, would you ask your teammates to commit suicide, or would you kill the prophet?"

Ye Tian's problem is exactly the plight of their werewolves tonight.

If they choose their teammates, that is, the police prophet No. 3 commits suicide, their advantage is that they can confirm their status as prophets, but the disadvantage is that the witch may not believe No. 3 and refuse to use the antidote, then they will lose a teammate, which is equivalent to One life for one life—the name of No. 3 in exchange for Gu Ye's life.And choose Gu Ye, their advantage is that they have a 50.00% possibility of taking away the true prophet, and another 50.00% possibility of letting the witch use the antidote; and the disadvantage is that if Gu Ye finds a werewolf at night, they will lose their teammates during the day Dangerous, but the probability of this danger is 50.00% to 50.00%.

From the perspective of the game, the second option seems to be more cost-effective. They have already eliminated a group of players from the good camp, and they are a big step ahead. Even if they lose a little, it will not be a big problem.

"But Tan Lin doesn't agree to kill you now, he wants to make a time difference." Ye Tian said dissatisfied.

According to the rules of the game, the order in which ability users open their eyes at night is different, so their skills are activated at different times at night.

According to the current staffing situation on the field, the first person to open his eyes is the prophet, who is a priori; then the werewolf, who decides which player to eliminate at night, and the last is the witch, who decides whether to use medicine or not according to the death situation.

But in the game, this rule may change slightly depending on the scene. For example, as it is now, the prophet may test people before the werewolf kills.But the only thing that cannot be changed is the witch, because the witch can only judge whether to use medicine after seeing the dead.

"Tan Lin wants to do it after the witch is sure that he will drug you, but this is completely a paradox, it is impossible. The witch must see the corpse first, and then decide whether to use the drug. If you are not dead at all, what a fart he is!" .”

Gu Ye understood Tan Lin's consideration.

If Tan Lin and the others don't kill him tonight, but kill No. 3, no matter whether the witch saves him in the end, Gu Ye's status as a prophet will be shaken from the foundation—if you are true, why didn't you die last night? ?You're not dead, so you must be fake.According to this line of thinking, Gu Ye could easily be cast to death by foolish people the next morning.

But if Tan Lin kills him tonight, if the witch's mind twitches and she chooses not to save him, he will definitely die.

Now Gu Ye's position is very dangerous, it can be said that he will die anyway.

Gu Ye thought for a while and said, "I think it's better for you to attack me tonight."

Ye Tian immediately said: "That's right, that's right, I think so too."

Tan Lin's expression changed, his thin lips moved slightly, and he uttered three words - "Impossible."

Gu Ye knew that Tan Lin would react in this way, so he said: "Can you just listen to me once? Tonight we will go to the second floor to find clues. Whether you find it or not, you will kill me, and then we will enter the daytime. Tomorrow is my last day." I'll figure out a way to get everyone out if I get the chance."

"I'll say it again, it's impossible," Tan Lin said coldly, "Gu Ye, you'd better not even think about it."

"This is the best way," Gu Ye could only continue to persuade Tan Lin. He softened his voice and said in a low voice, "If you want me to live another round, you should know what to do now."

Gu Ye knew that what he said now was a bit too much, he was forcing Tan Lin, but this is really the best way for them now.

Tan Lin's eyes were red, and he almost roared: "Can you hear yourself? How could I attack you?!"

"Don't worry," Gu Ye gently touched Tan Lin's hand and said, "The witch will definitely save me tonight. He/she has no reason not to. There is nothing wrong with my speech. He/she must at least consider Just a moment. I promise you, it'll be all right, okay?"

Gu Ye himself doesn't believe these words, he hasn't guessed who the witch is, and whether he/she believes what he said this morning, but he can only say this now, try his best to make Tan Lin believe him.

Tan Lin was silent for a while, and finally said, "Go to the second floor first."

Although he didn't agree, he didn't block the road either.

Gu Ye breathed a sigh of relief, and decided to find ways to soften Tan Lin later, and went up to the second floor with Ye Tian.

Entering the second floor for the second time, everyone's mood is more complicated than the first time, especially since we already know that the animal statues here are made of living things.The structure of the second floor is very simple, with 12 rooms and 12 doors, forming a semi-arc along the promenade. On the promenade is a semi-hollow platform filled with decorative sculptures.

Ye Tian looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the deer again, and he said with a complicated expression: "Is it... alive?"

Before Gu Ye could answer, Xiaolu's eyes suddenly moved slightly visible to the naked eye, as if to prove himself in this way.Ye Tian was so frightened that he didn't jump up, and even cursed a few times, rubbing his goosebumps with both hands, he said: "It's really alive."

Gu Ye said: "If you know it's alive, don't touch it."

Ye Tian stepped back a bit, at least three steps away from the deer, but he was still too interested in this thing, stretched his neck, and said, "How did you make it like this?"

Gu Ye didn't know, but when Wang Dehui led them upstairs on the first day, he observed it and speculated, "It should be a layer of glue on their bodies."

Ye Tian said: "This is too amazing." He wanted to reach out to touch it, but he didn't dare, so he stuffed his hands into his pockets.

The three of them walked half a circle in the corridor on the second floor. The structure of the second floor is very simple, except for the corridor, there are rooms, and these identical rooms are the real problem.

"Where do you think the clue is?" Ye Tian asked, "I don't think there is any clue at all. This is a dead end. As I said, anti-social personality needs no motivation, no reason."

Gu Ye nodded, he agreed with Ye Tian's idea, but he thought about it and said, "There are 12 rooms in total here."

"Well," Ye Tian said, "So?"

"There are 12 rooms in total, one for each person," Gu Ye said, "then one room belongs to Wang Dehui himself."

"That's the truth," Ye Tian was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Do you think the clue is hidden in Wang Dehui's own room?"

Gu Ye nodded.The most important clue can only be hidden somewhere.But they have twelve rooms, each of which is exactly the same, and it is impossible to tell what is behind the door.

Ye Tian thought for a while, and suggested: "Go and see one by one?"

"Impossible," Gu Ye shook his head and said, "Not enough time."

The passage of time in the game follows the somatosensory speed of the passage of time in reality. As long as the night is dark, they have as much time as they want, but it is already early morning, and they still have a lot of things to do.

Ye Tian casually held the doorknob of a room, and said, "Then hurry up and see one room first."

"Wait..." Gu Ye stopped immediately, "Don't you remember what happened in the room last time?"

Ye Tian paused, and was also afraid.

The last time they sneaked up to the second floor in the middle of the night and saw player No. 9 who they thought was being made into a statue, they were so frightened that they bumped into something, the whole floor was shaking, and they almost didn't run out.

But after Gu Ye finished speaking, Ye Tian had already opened the door a crack, Ye Tian let go immediately, the door was half-hidden, if it could not be opened, Ye Tian stood in place, his feet seemed to be frozen, and he said in horror: "What now? manage?"

Gu Ye said: "Don't move." He slowly approached Ye Tian, ​​and finally came to Ye Tian's side, "Did you see anything in the door?"

Ye Tian shook his head, "There's only one crack, and I didn't see anything."

Gu Ye said: "That should be because there is nothing inside."

All the contestants who were eliminated in the first round have been successfully transformed, and no one has been eliminated in the second round, so these rooms should be empty.But just to be on the safe side, Gu Ye pushed the door lightly and closed it tightly.

Ye Tian exhaled slightly, regained his sanity, and asked, "What should we do now? All the doors are the same, exactly the same..."

Gu Ye didn't speak, just stared at the doors closely, there were always rules and hints, but they didn't know it yet.

"Look..." At this moment, Tan Lin suddenly discovered something.

"What's wrong?" Gu Ye followed Tan Lin's gaze.

Tan Lin walked towards the semi-hollow display stand in the corridor. He stood by the display stand, looked at the living sculpture, and then at the door of the room. He seemed to be looking for an angle, "Every door is facing a sculpture .”

Gu Ye immediately looked according to Tan Lin's prompt, and there was a row of living sculptures on the exhibition stand from large to small, the smallest being a mosquito, then a larger sparrow, then a mouse, and so on.

Not every door faces a sculpture here, but the direction in which the sculptures are placed is just opposite to the door.

"I see," Ye Tian said immediately, "Wang Dehui should treat these gadgets as guards and let them guard these rooms, so there should be a symbolic technique here, one kind of animal symbolizes one kind of person, for example, Fang Hua is 1 No. He chose room 1 before, so room 1 should be his. And outside door 1 is a small mosquito, the smallest mosquito, and the largest player, which just forms an ironic contrast. The weakest mosquito is the guard of the strongest player... so who is Wang Dehui's guard?"

Ye Tian thought for a while, and said, "It's probably a pig, it only knows to eat and sleep, and sleep to eat."

Ye Tian's idea seemed reasonable, but Gu Ye always felt like a failed reading comprehension problem.

Maybe it's not that complicated, they're overinterpreting.

The author did not have this intention, but in order to step on the test points, he could only rely on the core values ​​of socialism. In the end, the original intention was completely distorted and ran counter to it.

"If it's a guard," Gu Ye analyzed carefully, "then there must be a treasure behind the door. Do you think there is a treasure behind the door?"

Ye Tian curled his lips, profiled Wang Dehui a little, and said: "Wang Dehui can't treat anyone as a treasure. In his world, only he himself is at the top. Others are just inferior to him. His clumsy things, they are not treasures, but toys. We, the wrong direction..."

These words are a bit discouraging, time is passing by every minute and every second, but they can't find anything, they just stand there and spin around.

"The relationship between the statue and the door may be just a coincidence," Gu Ye analyzed again: "It's just that the hollowed-out display stand was built here, so they just coincide."

"Okay," Ye Tian said, "you can say that, but this discovery is meaningless. They don't matter. We still can't find it." Ye Tian looked at the time in frustration and said, "Forget it." It's too late, I'm afraid it will be dawn if we drag it on any longer, otherwise, let's do it first and then talk..."

Gu Ye didn't speak, he stood where he was, and continued to look at these gadgets. Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, "I see..."

"What do you know?!" Ye Tian asked,

Gu Ye didn't answer, he quickly walked along the corridor, he knew how to judge the room without opening the door, in a row of small sculptures, he found a mole, "I found it."

Ye Tian took a look and said, "Fuck, what is this? A mouse? What's the use of this thing?"

Gu Ye said, "Look at its eyes."

Ye Tian suppressed his nausea, and took another look, he was also stunned immediately, and said unexpectedly: "It...it closed its eyes."

"Yes," Gu Ye said, Fang Hua's reminder sounded in his ears again, "Fang Hua once told me that when he saw Wang Dehui going downstairs, the sculptures behind him had their eyes closed.

"At that time, I thought it was a horror story, a sculpture with blood and tears. Later, when Amei discovered the butterflies, she realized that they were actually alive. Then it was easy to explain why they closed their eyes, because they were afraid of Wang Dehui. The one that never opened its eyes is because it is facing Wang Dehui's room..." Gu Ye pointed to the room they were facing right now.

The door of the room is still the same as the other rooms, it is a simple red door, and behind the door will be Wang Dehui's secret.The three of them looked at each other: "Do you want to go in?" Ye Tian asked.Gu Ye held the doorknob and said, "Go in and have a look."
