Infinite spooky game

Chapter 139 Grand Performance () "Romans"

When he still wanted to live, Ziss fantasized about his own death countless times.

Perhaps he fell from the top of a cliff thousands of meters high, fell into a coma and fell apart due to the constant feeling of weightlessness.

Perhaps it sank to the bottom of the endless deep ocean, was sealed in a certain layer of water by water pressure, and rotted while floating.

Later he came to understand that what he was yearning for at that time was nothing more than uncertainty.

When a person does not appear in the form of a corpse, no one can prove that he is dead, and no one can prove that he is alive.

As a result, he was called "missing". Onlookers knew that this was a taboo for death, and those involved used it as a pronoun for living.

At this time, someone needs to find his body, whether it is fragments or residual limbs, use some taxidermy methods to assemble it into a complete person, put it on the stage, and announce his death to the people passing by. .

Yes, death needs to be shown. In other words - it needs to be observed.

After the copy of "Dialectical Game" ended, Ziss seriously thought about how to die; and after "Double Happiness Town", he truly realized that he might die in the copy of the strange game.

Survival is not an easy task. Tens of thousands of people are struggling to survive. Why can he survive this?

His journey was too relaxed, too playful, and too lucky.

He is like a war machine that cannot be stopped once it is started. He must keep winning. If he loses a city, he will be shattered to pieces.

While Zeiss calmly analyzed the crisis he faced, he couldn't help but fall into the carnival of victory. At the same time, he frequently foresaw the outcome of his own death, both in the game and in reality.

He felt that his death needed to be witnessed.

Just like it is now.

"Congratulations to player No. 1 on being sentenced to death! Now it's time for the execution that the audience is waiting to see!" Charlie announced loudly and enthusiastically, then bent down grandly, raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

At the same time, Zeiss felt a knife stabbing into the back of his head, slowly cutting forward along the midline of his body, peeling off his skin like a peel.

Severe pain exploded from the scratched area, rapidly extending in all directions, and soon covering every inch of flesh. Warm blood dripped from the top of his head, into his eyes, and soon covered his entire face.

It hurts... it hurts...

Qisi gritted his teeth, but still let out a light hiss.

He raised his eyes with difficulty. Through the light red, he could not see anything like a blade on top of his head. He could only see a layer of bloody and prickly human skin hanging down like rags.

The knife skills were really poor and the cut was really ugly... Qisi was so painful that he couldn't speak and could only make a brief comment in his heart.

He leaned back on the high-backed chair and stared quietly at the void in front of him. He watched the human skin above his head slowly droop, covering his sight with a veil. The blood gradually soaked the clothes all over his body and quickly lost its temperature. It looked like it had just been fished out of cold water.

The pain reached its peak and became less distinct. Qisi stared at the chips on the table, unreasonably guessing that he was like an onion at this moment, being peeled layer by layer from the outside to the inside. Come down.

——He is being skinned, dying, and clearly feeling the process of his own death.

The aesthetics behind the incident made Zeiss' breathing quicken and his heart beating rapidly.

When the entire skin fell off to his ankles like a coat, he found that one of the three chips lying flat in front of him suddenly turned into a pool of blood, scattered into fine blood beads, and seeped into the table.

In an instant, all the blood and human skin around his body was swept away like an illusion. Qisi saw that the shirt on his body had returned to a pure white color. He raised his hand and touched his face. The skin and mask were still where they should be. Location.

The execution that just happened seemed to be just an illusion.

The pain was still there, Qisi was breathing heavily, and his clothes were soaked in cold sweat within a few seconds.

He leaned back on the chair, smacking his lips and recalling the extremely real feeling of death just now. He actually felt a little excited, so when he looked at Cynthia, an uncontrollable smile appeared on his lips.

Players watched from the sidelines as Zis's scalp was cut off by an invisible blade, and his skin and flesh were peeled off, turning him into an unrecognizable bloody man.

Stimulated by the strong smell of blood and horrific scenes, their complexions were not much better than Qiss's.

He Hui didn't dare to look at it at first, but was fixed by a force and couldn't look away. At this time, his face was even whiter than Qiss's, as if he had just experienced an execution.

Dong Xiwen was completely confused when he saw Qisi "resurrected from the dead". He was still immersed in his guilt for identifying Chiss and indirectly causing the death of someone, and his resentment towards Cynthia for not acting as agreed. But now he found that the object of his regret had come to life, and he felt that his emotions were stuck in one place, unable to do anything. smooth.

But when he calmed down, he wasn't surprised anymore.

How could an old bastard like "Zhou Ke" leave the choice of life and death to others? Since he is willing to disclose his identity, he must have discovered something, and he is 100% sure.

Cynthia also thought of this belatedly.

The conversations between Zeiss and Charlie came to her mind one by one, and she understood the key almost immediately.

The game is fair, and the chips are the ticket to the game and the player's life... being killed in the game does not really die; in this scene, each player has three lives!

Even so, Cynthia still refused to give up, staring at Charlie and questioning: "Mr. Charlie, you said before that the tiger can choose to kill the fox. I want to kill No. 1, why is he still alive? I think this game rule exists question."

"First of all, congratulations to player No. 1 for spending one chip and returning to the center of our stage!" Charlie congratulated happily before turning his masked face to Cynthia, "There are no problems with the rules! It's just a small game. If If you die in the game, you will really die, and that is the greatest injustice!"

There was no room for change. Cynthia took a long breath and realized that she was about to face a more serious problem:

Her betrayal just now has undoubtedly consumed the trust of the players. If there is another vote, she will definitely replace Qiss and become the first person everyone wants to eliminate...

Qisi slumped on the chair, not wanting to move a finger, but he still followed the plan and said with a smile: "You should have discovered that this 'catching the fox' game can only be played in a single round, and it is impossible to do it no matter what. To be 'fair'. The simplest and crudest way to make an unfair game fair is to increase the number of rounds of the game and exchange identities in each round. As long as each player plays all the identities again, the game will be Fair enough."

"Three chips means that there are three rounds in the game. After all, it is impossible for each player to play all four identities. To achieve relative fairness, it is necessary to fix one identity and only put three identities into rotation. "

His voice was weak, but his words were clear: "Tiger status obviously has advantages but no risks, wolfdog and fox status obviously have risks but no advantages, both are unbalanced. Rabbits have both risks and advantages, which is a relatively balanced card. So I guess, the identity of 'Rabbit' is fixed, and in the next two rounds of the game, Hehui will always be 'Rabbit'." Cynthia thought of something, and the wrinkles on her face twitched slightly.

Qisi stopped looking at her, turned his head slightly, and glanced at He Hui and Dong Xiwen respectively: "You should also see that Ms. Cynthia firmly believes in the principle of zero-sum game. Even in games with a sure-win strategy, she immediately You want to harm people. Such unstable factors should be eliminated as soon as possible, right?"

"In the next two rounds, her identity is nothing more than 'wolf dog' or 'fox'. If she is a wolf dog, we can report her identity at will, and she has a two-thirds chance of losing the game; if she is a fox, that is convenient Well, just execute her directly - what do you think?"

Dong Xiwen expressed confusion: "But she still has three chips. Even if she loses two games in a row, the chips will not be cleared."

Cynthia saw a glimmer of hope, calmed down, and said calmly: "You guys have also seen that even if I lose two games in a row, there will still be one chip left, which will not have any impact on the outcome. You and 'Zhou Ke' 'It's different. I know your appearance information. Even if you die in the dungeon, you can use your last moments to affect reality after you get out. 'Zhou Ke' led you to target me just to force you to take sides. There is no need for you to take risks. At the risk of offending me, I took the initiative to send it over for him to use."

"You made a miscalculation." Qisi said lightly, "If you are a wolfdog and catch the wrong person and then the rabbit makes the correct identification, the rabbit will win, and each of us will give the rabbit a chip. And you are After being executed, one chip will be consumed. In other words, in that round, you will lose a total of two chips."

Cynthia made a quick calculation. If things really went according to "Zhou Ke's" plan, she would have exhausted all her chips by the end of the third round.

No one knows what will happen when the chips are exhausted, but according to common sense, the end is probably true death...

Cynthia looked directly at Qisi and advised: "Zhou Ke, I made a mistake in choosing to execute you. I understand your anger, but I hope you can focus on the overall situation and not act out of emotion. You said you would crack the world view, but it is missing. The clues in any of the rooms won't work. If I die, you probably won't get into Room 1. You won't survive the third act."

Ziss smiled: "You also said that it is too unstable to decipher the world view. 'For the life and death of sinners, it seems to me unwise to invest everyone's energy into a guess that I don't know whether it is correct or not.'"

He imitated Cynthia's accent and repeated what she had said before: "We never had a choice. Didn't Charlie say that? When a dead person appears, the game is over. We need a dead person."

Cynthia shook her head slightly: "Charlie also said that the game can end if the rabbit achieves three draws or wins. You incited them to target me together, and you just wanted to ignore the overall situation and avenge your own personal revenge."

"You can say that, but I want to ask, why should we keep you?" Qiss sneered, "Keep you until you find an opportunity to stab us again, or to deal with us in reality after you go out?"

"I can swear to you." Cynthia raised her right hand, palm facing outward, "I will not do anything detrimental to you in any form after leaving the copy, and I promise to do my best to benefit mankind."

"Empty promises are not convincing." Zeiss said, snapping his fingers.

Dots of red light condensed into a long blood-colored scroll, floating in and out in front of him. The gilt lines outlined the word "deed", reflecting the golden light and shadow at the moment of attention.

He looked at Cynthia and his tone was unquestionable: "Why don't you make a contract with me?"

Cynthia looked at the long contract scroll that slowly flew in front of her, and the crow's feet in the corners of her eyes twisted into vortexes: "You said so much, probably just to force me to sign this agreement, right? This is your skill, I can't be sure what will happen after signing. Will it lead to other consequences? This is not fair to me."

Chiss narrowed his eyes and smiled: "You have no other choice."

At this point, Cynthia knew that she was really in trouble.

With the advantage visible to the naked eye, she failed to see the hidden risks and ran headlong into the trap that Chiss had woven for her...

She smiled sadly, picked up the golden quill condensed in the void, and signed her name on the bloody page.

[The soul contract has been signed. This contract is guaranteed by the rules of the world and cannot be violated by any existence]

Because this contract is related to everyone, every player can hear the system prompts.

Dong Xiwen's eyes looked at Qisi a little deeper. He remembered that the organization he joined seemed to be inextricably linked to the "contract"...

"The second round of the game begins!"

Charlie snapped his fingers cheerfully, and a new card appeared in front of each player.

Everyone quickly reported their identities. Cynthia was a wolfdog, Qisi was a tiger, and Dong Xiwen was a fox.

Cynthia and Hehui identified Dong Xiwen at the same time, but Qisi chose to let them go.

In the third round of the game, Cynthia is the fox, Qisi is the wolfdog, and Dong Xiwen is the tiger.

Qisi and Hehui identified Cynthia at the same time, but Dong Xiwen chose to let it go.

"Wonderful, wonderful game!" Charlie clapped his hands three times slowly, looking weird in line with his words, "The game of 'Catch the Fox' is over, the next game is Crazy Black Jack!"

When the players heard this, they looked at each other in disbelief.

Dong Xiwen was the first to ask: "Isn't the game over? Why is there another one? It won't be endless, right?"

Charlie replied with a smile: "The game will not really end until the dead appear!"

The dead must appear...

Could it be that this scene is the same as the first scene, and one player must be chosen as the victim in order to pass the level?

After the little episode just now, it is not difficult to determine the victim.

Cynthia was the first to harm others, so it seems only natural that she should pay with her life...

"Mr. Charlie, are you guilty?"

Qisi suddenly asked in a cold voice.

Everyone was stunned and listened to him continue: "'Everyone of us is guilty', so may I ask, are you, who has been standing in the center of the stage, included in this 'us'?"
