"People are divided by squares, and trust has completely collapsed." - The Master
When he opened his eyes again, Wu Hui knew that the game had begun.
Communication with Li Xiaoyue and Ren Yin was interrupted. It was probably the master who forcibly deprived them of their ability to communicate.
A large screen appeared on the wall in front of me, and the screen was covered with surveillance cameras. He glanced at it, there were ninety-nine in total, including himself.
Li Xiaoyue and Ren Yin can be seen on the screen, as well as Wu Hui himself. What surprised him was that he also saw Du Ziming.
Most people are confused and overwhelmed when faced with this situation, but some are as calm as Wu Hui. They are all probably players. The total number of players that can be confirmed are Wu Hui and the others, Du Ziming, and the three first-level players Wu Hui saw when he checked in before.
That's at least seven.
Ren Yin and Li Xiaoyue, who clearly lived in the same room before, were also shown as separate on the screen. Hmm, looks a bit troublesome...
A line of words suddenly appeared on the screen.
"Every night in the room you vote, just mentally choose who you want to vote for. The person with the most votes dies."
Will the two votes die together or neither of them will die? Wu Hui frowned.
"Everyone is assigned a number, from one to ninety-nine, without duplication."
"During the day, you can choose to enter the elevator. When the sum of the numbers of the people entering the elevator is equal to one hundred, the elevator will take you to the lobby. When the elevator door is closed, if the sum of the numbers is greater than one hundred, the last person to enter the elevator will be erased. If there are less than a hundred people, the first person to enter the elevator will be eliminated.”
"The numbers have been distributed to everyone's minds."
Sixty-six flashed in Wu Hui's mind. This is not a particularly good number. Under similar rules, the smaller the number, the more choices there are.
Under such rules, the best result is to pair one with ninety-nine, two with ninety-eight, and so on. This only requires one number fifty to die. But No. 50 will definitely not give in. If he is smart enough, he will vote to kill someone tonight. Then everyone will enter a state of chaos.
The previous serial numbers are okay, for example, No. 1. If Ninety-nine dies, he can go to find Ninety-seven with No. 2, and find Ninety-six with No. 3... Don't have too many choices. And no one will kill number one casually, because they all need him.
In this case, many people may pretend to be No. 1 and No. 2 in the future.
Wu Hui thought about it, and then checked his numbers with each other using the secret code he had discussed with Ren Yin and Li Xiaoyue a long time ago.
Ren Yin is thirty-eight and Li Xiaoyue is seventy-one.
It seems that they were not lucky enough to get out directly from the beginning.
Such pairs of codes are allowed by the master. Maybe it's because... everyone can lie, and choosing to deceive or trust is also part of the game.
What made Wu Hui more miserable was that Du Ziming also saw his code and made a sign with the number fourteen, which made Wu Hui not sure whether to believe it or not. This guy can really speak his mind without changing his face when he lies.
Hope he doesn't cause trouble.
When playing cards, Du Ziming often cheated his teammates and came up with some unconventional playing styles, which gave Wu Hui a lot of headaches. But it was very effective as a show, and everyone else was cursing and laughing at the same time.
And Du Ziming's winning rate is not low. It can only be said that this is a scammer who pursues fun, does not stick to the rules, and is extremely smart.
So it's very troublesome.
"The voting time is about to end, please vote as soon as possible."
On the screen, many people were saying something and trying to call to open the window and go out, but obviously, no one succeeded.
Wu Hui looked around and determined that there was no difference between this room and the one he entered.
He already had some ideas about what to do next.
Today, let’s imitate their example and stand up and move around. If you act too uniquely, you might get noticed.
"Voting time is over."
"This round of voting results: Zhao Zhangxiang 1 vote, Xue Panyang 1 vote."
"Execution now."
"..." Wu Hui was silent. He couldn't tell whether someone was stupid or what. According to rational analysis, one of the two votes should have been cast by No. 50 in order to survive in troubled waters, while the other vote was due to someone trying to create a tie vote to avoid deaths.
Unfortunately, this doesn't work. Because now it seems that if the votes are tied, both will be killed together.
The two unlucky guys screamed and died. I don’t know what their numbers are, which is a very troublesome situation. Now the optimal solution is no longer possible. So tomorrow it is impossible to tell everyone to reveal the numbers and leave in pairs.
If nothing else, Wu Hui himself would not tell others the real figures. After two people with unknown numbers die, your numbers will become like trump cards.
Because the two men died so bloody, the audience was so frightened that they started shouting. Of course, there was no sound in this picture, and Wu Hui could only see the panic of those people through the picture.
The scene stopped abruptly. He went back to bed and went to sleep. But I believe that not many people will be able to sleep tonight.
In such a game, it seems that Li Xiaoyue's ability will be very advantageous. She can identify whether other people are lying. You can also hypnotize or something.
There are two strategies for tomorrow. One is to expose your own number in a gambling manner, and then see if you can find someone with luck who adds up to one hundred and is willing to believe in you. The risk is that your number will be exposed, and you will be very passive if you don't go out. Additionally, there is no certainty that those who come forward will tell the truth. If you get it wrong, you're dead.
Hmm... It seems that the order of entering the elevator can be manipulated a bit. But unless it's ninety-nine or ninety-eight points, you can't determine whether another person's points are high or low.
The second strategy is to use force or the like to force others to report their points. Li Xiaoyue's ability is just right for interrogation. I just don’t know if the game will have other mechanisms to limit this violent method of breaking the situation.
But overall, as long as everyone stays calm and rational, not too many people will die in this game...
Hopefully there won’t be too many stupid people.
This was Wu Hui's last thought before going to bed.
In the next room, Ren Yin's thought process was similar to Wu Hui's, except that her understanding of the situation was more pessimistic. At level three difficulty, it is impossible for them to leave so easily.
And when Wu Hui thinks about problems, he only thinks about himself and his teammates. After Ren Yin analyzed what was best for himself, he also began to think about what was best for everyone.
They are similar in other aspects, but Ren Yin is a little softer than Wu Hui.
If everyone could analyze problems like Ren Yin, then most people would be able to leave. It's a pity that there are only a few like her.
ps I think rules are really a troublesome thing...
