Chosen Prophet [Unlimited]

"The seven tourists who have not been bewitched are [good guys] in this game; the three people who have been bewitched are [werewolves] in this game. Werewolves can [imprison] a player every day, and the time is limited to every night. Before 9 o'clock."

"Voting time is from 9 to 10 o'clock every night, and everyone has the right to vote; the player who gets the most votes will also be [imprisoned]."

"A player who is [imprisoned] will be put into a [prison] and loses the right to explore the copy and communicate with other players."

"In addition, there are three priests hidden among the seven good men, including a [Prophet], a [Hunter], and a [Witch]."

"Each priesthood has special skills, and players can get detailed skill descriptions later. The use of priesthood skills also needs to be completed before the voting starts at 9 o'clock every night."

After the lengthy rules were read out, a translucent thin board appeared out of nowhere in front of each player, about the size of a palm, a bit like a mobile phone.

The broadcast further introduced this tablet-this is an auxiliary tool that players will use in the game. Draw identities, use skills, and check the time, etc., can all be done through this tablet.

Finally, under the instructions of the broadcast, the players completed fingerprint binding with the tablets in front of them, which means that each player can only unlock their own tablets with their fingerprints, but cannot view the content on the tablets of other players.

According to the broadcast, the fingerprint data is also simultaneously bound to the door of the room that each player is about to stay in, that is, players can only open their own room through fingerprint recognition, and cannot enter other people's rooms at will.

When the fingerprint binding operation was completed, almost everyone acted very quickly.After all, except for No. 5 who came last, everyone else saw the fate of violating the system instructions through Duan Yi.

The ending of the broadcast is: "Tonight, from 10:10 to [-]:[-], is the time to draw the identity. Players are requested to complete the task on time. To extract the identity and view the skill descriptions of each priest, please operate through the page prompts on the tablet."

"The time is now 6 pm. Players can rest, visit the courtyard, or go to their respective rooms on the second floor to check; there are food reserves in the kitchen. Players can cook and eat by themselves if needed."

"A copy of "A Dream in the Garden", difficulty level: level two."

"Both the good guy and the werewolf clear the game and get 50 gold coins. The gold coins can be used to buy props after the game is over, and some props can resist the risk of death. So please do your best to win."

"There are two precautions in the game: first, players cannot cross-use tablets, and cannot check each other's identity cards; second, any form of violence between players is prohibited. Violators will be forced to log out of the game."

"At 10 o'clock tonight, the game officially begins."

"Have a nice game everyone."

After the broadcast ended, the living room fell into a long silence.

No one spoke for a long time, perhaps because they needed to digest the rules of the game, or because they had other plans.

The first to break the silence was No. 10 profiteer Zhang Zhuo.

He said with a fat face: "Fuck, isn't this the real version of werewolf killing? I played it two or three times. When we played online, we were stabbed by werewolves or voted out. Players will be banned, and in the setting of this world, they will be put into [Prison], which actually means the same thing.”

"Entering the prison does not mean death... Whether it is a werewolf or a good person entering the prison, after the teammate clears the level, everyone should be able to go out together. I know there are some werewolf self-killing routines, so this routine can still be played. .”

Player No. 3 is a tall man with a short cut, about 25 years old, he is trying to wear a sporty male style, but he has a round face, round eyes, round nose and a round nose, which makes him look cute and naive feel.

The inch-haired man followed up and said, "But did you pay attention to what the system said at the beginning? Why did the werewolves put good people in prison? To sacrifice to the garden owner!"

"The word "sacrifice" is scary when you think about it carefully. The owner of the garden may end up killing the people in the prison. He may be a man-eating monster. I don't think this game is that simple. It's probably trying to make us kill each other... ..."

Hearing this, the girl No. 6 next to her burst into tears with a "wow". Maybe she had been suppressing her emotions before, but now she couldn't control it anymore, and she was about to collapse. "I don't want to be in the game. I'm just going to die on the bridge."

As soon as No. 6 cried, girl No. 4, who was a seat away from her, immediately shed tears too.Wiping her tears, No. 4 got up and walked to No. 6 and hugged her tightly, and the two of them burst into tears immediately.

The two of them should be best friends. Judging from their age and appearance, they both look like college students.

Two of the three girls cried, the only girl No. 1 who didn't cry.

Girl No. 1 is dressed in professional attire, like a senior white-collar worker.

Her face was also a little pale, but she tried her best not to shed tears.Exhaling softly, she said:

"Whether the people in the prison will die or not, I don't know. But the system said that exploring the courtyard itself has a risk of death. Take the opera puppet as an example. It may be some kind of ghost. We accidentally offended it. will be killed by it.”

"Then if the werewolf first finds a way to anger it through exploration, it can use this to harm good people. Think about it, according to the normal gameplay, the werewolf can only kill one person per day. But if they use the The risk of killing good people makes it easier for them to win."

After the voice of girl No. 1 fell, the atmosphere on the field undoubtedly became more dignified, and the cries of the two girlfriends No. 4 and No. 6 also became louder, almost to the point of piercing.

After a long time, Duan Yi frowned slightly, knocked on the table with his fingers, and said in a deep voice: "There is a way to win this game."

Upon hearing his words, the two girls stopped crying and immediately turned to look at him.

Zhang Zhuo rubbed his nose, and glanced at him with a half-smile. "Brother Duan usually has ideas. Okay, this time you might as well talk about it, is there any way to win together?"

Duan Yidao: "Pay attention to the two sentences of the system. The first sentence is, 'Leaving the garden is the game goal of all players'; the second sentence is, 'The good person and the werewolf pass the level, and both can get 50 gold coins'."

"In other words, the goals of the werewolf and the good guy are actually the same - to leave the garden, clear the game, and get gold coins."

Duan Yi said the truth.

Hearing this, all the players have also tasted what he meant.

In this game, to put it bluntly, the difference between a werewolf and a good guy is actually just a different way of leaving the garden.

The good guy finds a way to leave by exploring the dungeon, just like everyone usually plays decryption games.

As for the werewolves, they don't have to explore the dungeon, as long as they put the good guys in prison, they can exchange the garden owner for a chance to leave.

Duan Yi glanced at the crowd and observed the reactions of the players. Duan Yi said again: "When we played this game in the real world, werewolves and good people must be opposites. But the situation is different now. The ultimate goals of werewolves and good people are the same. , there is essentially no opposite relationship.”

"That is to say, if werewolves don't kill people every day; everyone abstains when voting; priests don't use any skills. Then no one will be locked in a cell. In other words, we can ignore the relevant settings of werewolf killing in the game The only thing we have to do is ten people explore the garden together, protect and take care of each other, and finally leave together.”

Encountered an inexplicable disaster, and was drawn into a life-and-death game, perhaps because of this reason, most people have not yet recovered.Therefore, after Duan Yi put forward this suggestion, for a while, there were very few people who responded.

So Duan Yi finally added: "The only difficulty in this matter is trust. Did we all have an accident on the Yangtze River Bridge? I was in the same car with the boy No. 9. I think the two girls No. 4 and No. 6 are fine." Friends? Everyone else knows each other more or less? It’s okay if they’re strangers, but it’s not hard to do it together when everyone knows each other.”

As soon as he said this, the young man who could do acrobatics at No. 9 was the first to agree. "I think it's feasible!"

Duan Yi nodded: "Well. Anyway, this is just my suggestion. If everyone agrees, you don't need to sleep in your own room at night. We can sleep in the living room together. In case of ghosts and murders, we can deal with it together."

After half an hour, the brief discussion was broken up, and everyone decided to solve the problem of dinner first.

The pair of girlfriends on the 4th and 6th proposed to go to the kitchen to cook, and the acrobatic young man on the 9th and the round-faced man on the 3rd went to the kitchen to help.The rest of the people continued to discuss in the living room whether they should go out to check the situation.

Duan Yi's choice is to go upstairs and have a look, and explore this small western-style building first.

Going up the stairs to the second floor, the first thing you see is a long, narrow and dark corridor.The light at the entrance of the corridor is already very weak in the depths of the corridor, as if there is a monster that can swallow everything dormant at the end of the corridor.

Duan Yi groped around the wall, found the switch and pressed it. With a "snap", a row of wall lights lit up in the corridor.The light found the corridor structure—there were five rooms on each side, numbers 1 to 5 on one side, and numbers 6 to 10 on the other.

Walking to the door of a room at random, Duan Yi tried to put his hand on the doorknob, but he couldn't open the door.But when he came outside his No. 7 room, he raised his hand and held the doorknob and turned it lightly. With a "click", the door opened.

——The system really does not deceive me, everyone's room can only be unlocked with their own fingerprints.

The structure of the room is similar to that of a hotel double room.The bathing facilities inside are fully equipped, even the underwear is ready.

Duan Yi opened the closet and looked at it in detail. There were suit jackets, sweatshirts, shirts, long shorts, etc. inside.

Such full preparation made Duan Yi feel a little puzzled.

——The number cards are randomly drawn by the players. How do they know that the person who comes to Room 7 must be a man?When are these clothes ready?Also...why do the pants fit so well?

Duan Yi didn't stay here for too long, after briefly looking at the room, he closed the door and left, going to the third floor.

When we reached the third floor, we found the switch at the same place in the corridor. After turning on the light, Duan Yi found that the layout here was similar to that on the second floor, with a corridor connecting the rooms on both sides.

However, there are only two rooms on this floor. They stand on both sides of the corridor, and the door plates say "Prison One" and "Prison Two".Duan Yi stepped forward and tried it, and found that the door here could not be opened temporarily.

After leaving the third floor, Duan Yi continued to go up to the highest floor of this small western-style building - the fourth floor.

Going out of the stairs will still turn into a corridor, but the situation in this corridor is completely different from the two floors just now.

The lights turned on, and what appeared in front of Duan Yi was a whole corridor of black and white photos.

Photos of different sizes were pasted all over the two walls of the corridor, and the layout was very careless, messy and messy.

The larger photos were framed in very delicate frames; there were also many small photos that were nailed to the wall crookedly, and some were even crumbling.

Taking a closer look, Duan Yi found that all the photos were taken of the same two people.

These two people are a man and a woman. They wear similar costumes and pose almost identically. The only difference between the different photos is that the background is different. Some are taken by the lake, and some are in the garden.

Duan Yi searched all the way, and finally found a group photo of the two of them in the backstage of the theater. There was a poster behind the two of them, with six characters written on it, it was "The Resurrection of the Peony Pavilion".

It is not difficult to infer that the relationship between these two people is very good, and they should have sung together, and what they sang was Peony Pavilion.

Duan Yi was looking at the photos next to each other when footsteps came from the stairs.

With his hands in his pockets, Duan Yi turned his head and saw Lin Yuechuan. "How did you come?"

Lin Yuechuan said: "I want to go around the garden, but I'm short of tools, so I want to go to the room to look for a shovel or something. When I went upstairs, I saw a light on the fourth floor, so I came to have a look. It turned out to be you."

Duan Yi glanced at the situation outside the window, and said casually: "It's so dark, dare to go to the garden? Are you not afraid of death?"

"I don't think the risk of death in this game is very high." Lin Yuechuan walked over to the wall of photos, paused, and added, "I mean, the risk of us dying in the hands of other players may be very high , but the risk of death from exploration itself is not high. At least for a short time.”

What he said made a little sense.

Duan Yi turned his head to look at him, and saw that the corners of his mouth were raised slightly, but there was no smile, but rather a cold taste.

Duan Yi asked him: "Why do you think the risk of exploring the dungeon is small?"

Lin Yuechuan said: "Because this game always has a certain purpose. Since the element of werewolf killing is added, the behind-the-scenes must want to be optimistic about the game between humans and werewolves. If the risk of death in the copy is too high, the players die too quickly, and the werewolf How can the killing continue?"

What he said made sense.

It’s like playing Werewolf online. If people keep disconnecting during the game, the remaining players will get too little information, and there is almost no way to make logic.

In a more extreme situation, if a few priests or werewolves are all dead at the beginning, then the game can end directly.

"Having said that, it's better to be careful." Duan Yi looked at him, leaned forward and asked, "It's just that since you said that... it seems that you don't agree with my proposal that werewolves and good people can win together. You think everyone will Cannibalism?"

"Yes." Lin Yuechuan said, "There are many reasons why your ideas must not be put into practice. One of the most important reasons is time."

Duan Yi: "Time?"

Lin Yuechuan nodded: "Yes, time. The clearance time given by the dungeon must be limited. This can be seen from the food stored in the refrigerator. Just now in the kitchen, everyone has discussed the daily meal share, and it is estimated that it can last a week. Then you can It is estimated that the time limit for the copy is about 7 days."

"This is a simple game with ten players. If the werewolf killing game goes on normally, the winner will definitely be determined within seven days."

"But if, as you said, the Werewolf Killing Game doesn't exist, it's good for everyone to work together to break through the dungeon. But who can guarantee that within 7 days, we will find a way to clear the level?"

At this point, Lin Yuechuan didn't need to say any more, Duan Yi already understood what he meant.

It is impossible to go on endlessly in the game of breaking through levels, it must have a time limit.

Then there is a very likely situation that - if there is no way to clear the customs after 7 days, everyone will die here.

So here comes the question, if I were a werewolf, would I risk dying with everyone in 7 days, or would I use skills to put other players in prison as early as possible and win?Of course I would choose the latter.

And if I am a good person, after I realize the hidden condition of the time limit, I certainly don't believe that werewolves will cooperate with good people so kindly, unless werewolves are stupid.So when voting, I dare not abstain.

"Well, the Prisoner's Dilemma." Duan Yi sighed, but his tone was quite casual, and he didn't seem frustrated. He said to Lin Yuechuan, "But you said something wrong."

"Which sentence is wrong?" Lin Yuechuan asked.

Duan Yi continued to put his hands in his pockets, raised his chin and stared at Lin Yuechuan. "A win-win situation cannot be achieved not because of the so-called time limit, but because everyone thinks like you."

Lin Yuechuan smiled.

He looked down at Duan Yi, leaning slightly in his direction. "Brother Yi, can you trust me [-]%?"

This kid is obviously six years younger than him, and because he is half a head taller than him, his gaze actually looks very condescending.

Duan Yi was upset and immediately frowned.But after thinking about it for a moment, he replied briskly: "Yes. I don't believe you either."

The corridor was brightly lit, but no light fell on Lin Yuechuan's eyes, making his eyebrows and eyes extremely dark.

Duan Yi stared at him for a long time, then stepped forward to his ear, and added softly: "Even your name, I don't know if it's true or not."

After saying this, Duan Yi quickly turned his head and looked at the photo on the wall in front of him again.

The scalding heat in his ear was fleeting, and Lin Yuechuan's eyes immediately followed the source of the heat.

Seeing that the upper and lower lips of the people around him didn't move any more, he said again: "Actually, you also know that your proposal will be invalid. The reason why you still put it forward is because you would be lucky, or you are not serious about human nature. Have such a little hope."

- This is our difference.

"Speak as if you know me better."

"After all, I have been your assistant for a year. You are not difficult to understand."

Hearing this, Duan Yi was even more upset.

Of course, he does feel that his life is quite simple, with only one program dog, and his life is basically filled with codes.

It's just that Lin Yuechuan's words seem to clearly point out a fact - Duan Yi is transparent in front of him, but Duan Yi can't see through who he is at all.

The information is not equal, this feeling makes Duan Yi very unhappy.

So Duan Yi turned his head to the side again and gave Lin Yuechuan a very unhappy look.

Lin Yuechuan turned his head, and began to carefully observe the photos on the wall.

He raised his hand to put it on the photo, traced the actor with his index finger along the photo in front of him, and said, "Do you think that this man... seems to be the actor holding the puppet doll on the stage."

Just as Duan Yi was about to reply, a certain voice came from the stairs, making him temporarily shut up.

—That was the sound of someone coming upstairs.

But the sound was very strange, like a very old man dragging his heavy body upstairs, his steps were slow, heavy, and maintained a constant frequency, and he could hear that he was in great pain going upstairs.

Duan Yi lowered his voice: "Could it be that actor who came? Is he a ghost?"

Lin Yuechuan said lightly: "...Brother Xiao Yi, sometimes you don't have to talk."

The sound of footsteps was close at hand.

Duan Yi and Lin Yuechuan both turned sideways to look at the stairs, and they saw the actor holding the puppet doll.

The water sleeves of the opera puppet doll dragged to the ground like smoke.The man's steps fell heavily on the ground, as if walking was a very difficult thing for him.

His eyes were very empty, just staring at the front indifferently, as if he didn't see that there were two living people here at all.

But the puppet doll moved.She turned her head and looked in the direction of Duan Yi and Lin Yuechuan.Eyes blinking up and down, mouth opening and closing, she stared at them and smiled.
