Escape from the Madhouse [Unlimited]

With the information obtained from the side missions, Zhou Qian has just grasped the power of life and death, as if standing at the top of the food chain.

But the next moment, the further rules announced by the goddess directly put him into an infinitely passive situation.

As long as Qi Liuxing and Dong Xiang stick together until they die, after three rounds of draws, Zhou Qian will be directly eliminated and will be executed as a false believer.

But even though he knew that he was in a bad situation, Zhou Qian didn't pay attention to Dong Xiang's words.

He just quietly looked up at the five tree houses, waiting for the goddess to continue to read the following rules.

"Please Li Dafu enter tree house No. [-]. The rest enter No. [-] to No. [-] at will.

"In each treehouse there are paper, pens and a closed black box."

"The paper in Tree House No. [-] is specially used for scoring. The vertical grid in the first column is the name column, and the second column is the score column, which needs to be filled in neatly.

"The papers in tree houses No. [-] to No. [-] are voting papers. You can write 'no' or 'yes' to indicate whether you agree with Li Dafu's scoring results.

"Considering that you may regret it, we have prepared a lot of scoring papers and voting papers. But once the papers are thrown into the black box, even if the scoring or voting is valid, the box will be automatically locked and closed at that time, and no second paper can be put in. .”

"Li Dafu judges who is real and who is fake, of course he needs to ask other people questions."

"Li Dafu needs to show other players his scoring results. Of course, he needs to use video calls!"

"The rest of the believers can also negotiate with each other whether to believe that Li Dafu is a true believer."

"Based on this, we have placed video calls in each tree house. The videos support group chats and discussions! However, each person can only actively make three calls, and there is no limit to receiving calls."

"Please enter the tree house now! Please complete the first round of scoring and voting within 30 minutes!"

"We very much hope that the first round of the game will also be the only round. I hope you will elect [false believers] as soon as possible!"

After the goddess read out the rules, Dong Xiang immediately picked up the topic he hadn't finished talking with in an insidious tone.

"I know what this tree house means! It means letting us bribe Zhou Qian separately! Whoever gives him gold coins or props, he will give him a high score! But everyone, don't be fooled!"

When the words came to this point, Dong Xiang Youqi looked at Qi Liuxing, as if confirming his attitude. "How difficult is it for us to earn gold coins and props? Why do we let Zhou Qian get them like this?"

"So, according to what I just said, we must vote no! Three rounds of draws, he must die. In fact—"

Dong Xiang looked at the young couple again. "Can't we all save some time together? Why play three rounds of the game? In the first round, Zhou Qian should be directly rejected!"

"Come into the tree house in a while, don't believe anything Zhou Qian says, and don't look at his ratings! Just vote negative and it's over!"

The wind that came from nowhere stirred the leaves, and the light and dark shadows dangled all over the place, making everyone's faces look cloudy and uncertain.

After Dong Xiang said harsh words to Zhou Qian, his eyes were vicious, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was extremely cruel.

But when he looked at Zhou Qian indifferently, his hands shook uncontrollably.

Why, why is Zhou Qian's expression so calm?

It is impossible for him to have a second move!

Then he saw Zhou Qian smiling.

Putting his hands in his trouser pockets leisurely, Zhou Qian said lightly, "That's not necessarily the case."

Dong Xiang swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "You're a dead duck, just keep your mouth shut!"

Zhou Qian ignored him, just glanced at the couple Gao Shan and Yun Xiangrong, and then at Qi Liuxing who was supporting Dong Xiang.

Qi Liuxing was young and looked very immature.

Probably because of this reason, in order to avoid being underestimated, and to make himself appear more mature and lethal, he always stood like a sharp sword.

Withdrawing his gaze and staring into Dong Xiang's eyes, Zhou Qian said again: "Do you think that you can easily get me out of the game? You are too naive to think."

"What the hell do you want to say?" The words were harsh, but Dong Xiang couldn't help but thump in his heart.

Glancing at the other players lightly, Zhou Qian asked, "Have you heard of the Prisoner's Dilemma?"

Waiting patiently for the four players to look at each other and exchange glances, Zhou Qian raised his invitation letter and said, "You heard those six questions just now, right? Why can I answer the last two questions? Because I have completed the side mission. "

"Among the five of us, I was the only one who came with a side quest. I have already completed this side quest, and what I got through it was not only the answers to these two questions, but also the cracking [Apple Paradise] special information.

"Although this dungeon is only level one, it is very difficult because it is an adventure dungeon. You all managed to find it here in order to get rare rewards. Then, there is no need to say more about how important the special information I have is. ?”

A lot of information about this dungeon was told to Zhou Qian by Dong Xiang himself.

At that time, he was trying to get close to Zhou Qian, a newcomer, and make him believe in himself.

But now his intestines are full of regret.

Zhou Qian said again: "Then, of course I can use this special information to make a deal with you in exchange for your positive vote.

"Dong Xiang is right in one sentence, I know you are all fake believers. So the video call is not for me to ask you questions and judge who is real and who is fake, but for you to bribe me with gold coins and props.

"Actually, the setting of private video chat in this game is essentially a prisoner's dilemma. You two are divided into groups? That's just convenient for me."

At this point, the smile on Zhou Qian's face was so presumptuous that it was almost provocative.

Facing everyone's eyes, he calmly asked the goddess: "What if I give everyone 20 points and let the five of us divide them equally? In this way, no one will be the last one. Who will score [-] points?" What about being eliminated?"

The two goddesses looked at each other and smiled, and said to Zhou Qian: "If this is the case, then let me show you the votes of the voters. If there is still a 2:2 tie, you will be out after three rounds; if 3 votes agree with you, 1 vote If you deny you, then it seems that there is a problem with the person who denies you. He will be eliminated as a false believer."

Sure enough.

Zhou Qian looked at the other four with joy: "Now you four are prisoners held separately. And I am the policeman who interrogates you. The initiative in this game is always with me.

"You are now divided into couple groups and brother groups? However, you cannot guarantee that you will not be betrayed by the so-called 'teammates in the same group'. I will give everyone 20 points. After that, when you give me a negative vote, in exchange for Dungeon information, maybe your 'teammates' gave me a positive vote. Then...

"The one who is out is you, the only one who didn't give me a positive vote."

Zhou Qian was laughing.

The faces of the other four players present turned pale.

It was Yun Xiangrong who reacted first, she held her boyfriend Gao Shan's arm tightly. "We will never betray each other. We have been in love for four years and will not be influenced by you!"

"Yes!" Gao Shan nodded with certainty, and said solemnly to Zhou Qian, "Don't think you can provoke us with just a few words. I will never betray Rongrong in my life!"

"Oh, I hope so."

Looking away from the young couple, Zhou Qian looked at Dong Xiang again.

Dong Xiang shook his hands violently, then grabbed Qi Liuxing's shoulders beside him with both hands, looked at him and said, "You, you won't...Xiao Qi, I saved you! We have a life-threatening friendship!"

"Of course I don't, I just don't know—"

Before Qiliu could finish his jargon, he was interrupted by Dong Xiang: "Xiao Qi, you know, Zhou Qian almost killed me! I have nothing to do with him! How could I give him a positive vote! We all gave him a negative vote." Ticket! This way we won't lose any gold coin props!

"This is Zhou Qian's conspiracy, everyone must not fall for it. We insist on voting no! The one who is out must be Zhou Qian!"

When the players were fighting each other, the two goddesses kept standing beside them, with innocent and simple smiles on their faces, as if they didn't know what the players were talking about.

Seeing the time passing by bit by bit, they had no choice but to remind: "Okay, the timer has started, please enter the tree house as soon as possible!"

Zhou Qian put his hands in his trouser pockets and smiled with downcast eyes, without saying a word, he walked to the tree house first.

He moved, and the others also moved under the urging of the goddess.

But they all walked very slowly.

Because they are constantly telling each other to stand firm and not be brainwashed by Zhou Qian!

Although Zhou Qian was the first to move, he walked very slowly because he was observing the other four people.

He found that the boy named Gao Shan was quite straight. At the last moment, he actually asked his girlfriend to climb the tree and the rope ladder by herself. He didn't help at all.

With a raised eyebrow, Zhou Qian suddenly put down the rope ladder in front of him, and unexpectedly walked in front of Gao Shan.

Gao Shan looked at him warily. "what are you doing?"

His question attracted the attention of the other three people.

Zhou Qian turned a blind eye to other people's eyes, but with a provocative smile, he leaned into Gao Shan's ear and said something to him.

Immediately afterwards, Gao Shan showed a seriously insulted expression, and after pushing him away, he clenched his fists and was about to beat him up.

Zhou Qian raised his hands, made a gesture of surrender, and ran away quickly, climbing up the rope ladder at a very fast speed to his tree house.

This scene inevitably made the other three feel strange.

In front of the screen, Zhu Qiang and Yu Xian were also a little silly.

"Did you hear what brother Qingqian said?"

"No. But his psychological quality is really good. If it were me, I'm afraid I would just give up struggling."

"Yeah, he can think of what to do to make everyone equal in such a short period of time, so as to find a way out for himself. He is too strong!"

"But it's still too difficult. How can he be sure that someone in the two groups will betray? Just now Dong Xiang said that he saved Qi Liuxing's life!"

"I don't think it's good. In this kind of game, isn't profit first?"

Hearing Yu Xian's words, Zhu Qiang inevitably frowned.

——If the two of them also encountered this situation, would Yu Xian betray him easily?

"Brother Qiang, why don't you talk?"

"No, keep reading..."

·

Inside the tree house.

The vines wrap the windows extremely tightly, and it is absolutely impossible for players to communicate with other players through the windows.

Zhou Qian walked in, and after closing the door, he found that he couldn't hear the sound from outside.

It can be seen from this that it is unrealistic to want to talk to the players in the air.

So Zhou Qian quickly turned his attention to the tree house.

There is an LCD screen in the room with a green call button, a red cut call button, and the avatars of five players.

Zhou Qian clicked on the portraits of Yun Xiangrong and Gao Shan one after another, but he didn't press the green button for the time being.

He sat down first, and set his sights on the scoring paper and pen in front of him.

There are many sheets of scoring paper, which are very light and thin, and are for players to regret.

As long as the scoring paper is not thrown into the closed black box, it is not considered successful.

Zhou Qian narrowed his pupils slightly, picked up a pen and scribbled down the names of five people and their corresponding scores on a piece of paper.

[Gao Shan: 30 points], [Yun Xiangrong: 30 points];

[Dong Xiang: 0 points], [Qi Liuxing: 10 points];

Finally, [Zhou Qian: 30 points].

After that, Zhou Qian quickly pressed the green play button.

After a while, the call was answered, and the three-group chat mode was turned on.

The young couple appeared in front of Zhou Qian at the same time, each occupying half of the LCD screen.

Gao Shan looked at Zhou Qian with vigilance, but Yun Xiangrong still looked normal.

Zhou Qian first said to Gao Shan: "Brother, don't be nervous. I didn't contact you two separately. I contacted you at the same time. Therefore, I didn't plan to engage in any prisoner's dilemma with you two. Things like testing the relationship of a young couple and causing people to break up, It's detrimental to morality, I won't do it!"

Gao Shan and Yun Xiangrong: "..."

Zhou Qian smiled and asked again: "Can you all see me?"

The two nodded.

Zhou Qian lifted up the scoring paper he had written just now, and after showing it clearly in front of the camera in all directions without dead ends, he held it and walked to the sealed black box.

"Can you see me putting the written paper in front of the black box?"

On the LCD screen, the expressions of Gao Shan and Yun Xiangrong undoubtedly looked very surprised.

But the two of them still nodded.

"That's good. Please don't blink and watch me put this piece of paper in with your own eyes. You know the rules. Once the graded paper is put into the box, I can't go back on my word."

Dazed Gao Shan and Yun Xiangrong watched helplessly, Zhou Qian really put the piece of paper into a very unique airtight black box.

Afterwards, the two of them saw Zhou Qian returned to his seat, raised his head and smiled at the camera: "In this way, you can rest assured, right?"

Gao Shan couldn't help asking: "It's not you, what do you mean? Are you not afraid that we will deny you?"

Zhou Qian said: "I made the two of you No.1, why do you deny me?"

Gao Shan was stunned for a moment, Zhou Qian looked at him kindly, and said to him: "Actually, I understand Dong Xiang's worries, including yours. What you are most worried about is nothing more than the reason that I will give you grades." , ask you for high gold coins or rare props. But I understand the rules of the game, and I am not stupid. In fact, this is also the cleverness of the game designers——

"If I really ask you for gold coins and props endlessly, and make you anxious, you will all deny me. Then I will die?"

Zhou Qian replied very positively: "This is a trap set by the game designer, I will not fall for it!

"You have seen my score, you two are absolutely fine. As long as you vote for me, I will persuade Qi Liuxing... then I will be safe."

At this moment, Yun Xiangrong suddenly asked his own question. "But how can you guarantee that Qi Liuxing will definitely betray Dong Xiang? Just now their brother group said that they are life and death friends.

"Besides, Dong Xiang's injury... seems to be done by you.

"Actually, for you and Dong Xiang, who we choose to stay is very important to us. What if you are a vicious person and will harm us in the later stage?"

Among this young couple, Gao Shan seemed to be a little foolish, and was basically taken away, but Zhou Qian found out that Yun Xiangrong was a bit smart, and she was not as easy to be fooled as her boyfriend.

But the crux of the problem, they don't seem to have discovered it.

So Zhou Qian continued to continue the conversation with a sincere face.

"I know Dong Xiang, the most vicious person will only be him, not me."

After telling what Dong Xiang did in reality, Zhou Qian looked at Yun Xiangrong. "His wife didn't do anything. He was suspicious and directly divided her body. As a girl, you should feel more empathetic after hearing this kind of thing? In short——

"Dong Xiang is still like this in the real society ruled by law, he will only be worse in the dungeon. Since Qi Liuxing has been teammates with him many times, he should have seen him commit crimes more or less.

"Thus, even though Qi Liuxing was rescued by him, I'm afraid he doesn't trust him enough. Then I am sure to convince him that he will no longer be with Dong Xiang. If you don't believe me, you can have a private chat with Qi Liuxing and ask him about Dong Xiang. true character."

"Actually, besides giving you the highest score, I will also promise to give you special information about the dungeon. It's the same with Qi Liuxing. I didn't harm him."

All kinds of doubts Yun Xiangrong had were dispelled by Zhou Qian.

Now she couldn't think of any flaws.

After a while, seeing the expressions of these two people, Zhou Qian smiled and said:

"Then I'm relieved. Thank you." Smiling towards Gao Shan, Zhou Qian said, "My scoring has already been put into the black box. As you know, once the scoring is in the black box, there is no way to go back. My sincerity has already been shown. Now... Please give me a positive vote each. Please agree with my scoring results.

"After this game is over, I will definitely give you the special information obtained from clearing the side missions.

"This is really a good deal for you..."

Regardless of whether Zhou Qian can persuade Qi Liuxing to betray Dong Xiang, the young couple will guarantee that they have the highest score, and they will not cast the "no vote". No matter what, the two of them will definitely not be out.

In addition, not only were they not blackmailed by Zhou Qian, but they also got additional information on side missions.

Indeed, this deal is really a bargain.

As for Zhou Qian, he just asked everyone to agree with his scoring and think about it.

Yun Xiangrong and Gao Shan thought about it for a long time, but they didn't think of anything wrong.

The same is true for Yu Xian and Zhu Qiang in front of the screen.

The only information that Yu and Zhu knew more than the young couple was that Zhou Qian actually had no special information to crack the dungeon at all.This is just a bargaining chip he forcibly fabricated for himself.

But other than that, they couldn't find any flaws in Zhou Qian.

Zhou Qian mentioned the prisoner's dilemma in front of everyone, and with the temptation of "special intelligence", he planted a seed of doubt in everyone's heart, paving the way for his sowing dissension.

He really couldn't convince the couple to betray each other, so he didn't separate the couple.

He hates Dong Xiang the most, so what he will do next is to persuade Qi Liuxing to betray Dong Xiang.

Yu Xian: "I don't think there's anything wrong with Brother Qian's playing. He's doing the right thing! Anyway, he won't be eliminated! As long as he doesn't plunder the wool for gold coins, and doesn't anger the players, he can persuade the players not to vote negative for him." ticket!"

"Great, great. The side missions are really useful! The scores of those questions helped him a lot!"

Zhu Qiang: "There is nothing wrong with it. But I have a faint feeling that something is wrong."

Yu Xian: "What do you mean? I think everything is right! Normal people get the role of Zhou Qian, shouldn't they play like this?"

Zhu Qiang: "I didn't think about it... But there is a detail, something is wrong... Really something is wrong!

"Is it possible... Brother Qian is playing some tricks..."
