Countertops and chairs are a must. The wastebasket seems useless. Alarm clocks can keep track of time, which is very important.
And the alarm clock is so heavy, like a brick, I wonder if it can be used as a weapon to smash the killer's head or shield yourself from the knife?
As for sticky notes, they are used by the game to leave messages for each player.
But only one piece of game information is enough. So why prepare a whole stack?
Can players pass information by writing sticky notes and stuffing them under doors?
He rejected the idea immediately. If you want to convey information, you need a pen. But the game doesn’t provide pens for every player, so how can they write anything.
One side of the sticky note has a certain amount of stickiness. If you tear up a Post-it note, scatter the sticky pieces on the floor, such as in the doorway of a room. So when someone walks by, it will get on the shoes?
Meng Fei held a few stacks of sticky notes from the room in his hand, thinking of all kinds of weird strategies to use them.
After the search was fruitless, everyone sat back at the table in the living room. The lights-out tragedy had just happened here, and everyone was still feeling scared.
This time they will all return to the room honestly before 8:15.
"It is completely impossible to determine who the killer is from the current clues. Only No. 4 who has been killed can be ruled out."
No. 8 crossed his chest with one hand and pinched his chin with the other. It was clear that the situation was once again in dire straits.
"But I have a way, maybe it can prevent the murderer from killing someone next time. Or at least it's better than just sitting there and waiting to die.
"maybe?"
Someone repeated his words with a hint of mockery.
Because the previous proposal for everyone to stay in the living room was made on the 8th. Now many people are dissatisfied with him.
But Meng Fei didn't think there was anything wrong with No. 8's response.
The hint of "an island where light and darkness are constantly intertwined" is too vague and can be understood as the alternation of night and day.
When the game does not clearly indicate that the lights will go out, it is difficult for ordinary people to imagine.
In this case, there is really no better way than to stay in the living room.
"There is really no sure way to win now."
No. 8 reluctantly admitted the reality.
"But there are still ways to survive. My suggestion is that we don't stay alone in the room during the 15 seconds of darkness.
"The game prompts that each room can stay at most two people. So we can stay in the same room in pairs.
"Working together, you may be able to survive an encounter. This means that if two people deal with the killer together, the killer may not win."
"I said No. 8, have you not noticed that we have lost one person? We only have 7 people now.
"If two people live in one room, it means that one room must be occupied by one person."
Someone raised doubts.
"That's right. Not only does one person live alone, but there is also a high possibility that the other person will live with the killer! Oh my God!"
said one girl, a little horrified.
"Well, I've already considered this."
No. 8's face looked a little gloomy.
“In the worst case scenario, the killer will kill the person who lives with him and then go and kill the person who lives alone.
"But I think he won't have time to continue killing. Counting No. 4, the first one killed, the killer can kill three people in total.
"There are four of us left here. As long as we stay together in pairs during darkness, we will always have a chance of winning against the killer.
"Because the killer could only break into a room with two people at that time. Two people fighting the killer would not necessarily be killed.
“If you delay the stay, there may be a possibility of rescue by other people in another room.
"In addition, every round we can use the confinement lock to lock a room. If we successfully lock the killer's room, we will still win.
“So overall, there is at least a 60% chance of winning this way.
"But if we don't use this trick and we continue to stay alone in the room, it's better to admit defeat now."
After a moment of silence, although most people were not convinced by No. 8, they could not think of a better way. One of them sneered:
"Then the question is, who lives with whom, and who wants to live alone?"
From a purely theoretical perspective, of course it would be best for the killer to live alone and everyone else to live together.
They can also hang a confinement lock on the door of the room where the killer lives, so that the killer will lose.
But now no one will take the initiative to admit that he is a killer, and the killer will use various reasons to refuse to live alone.
"My suggestion is to draw lots."
No. 8 glanced at the pile of post-it notes that No. 5, Meng Fei, had been playing with.
“Maybe these sticky notes are for us to draw lots.
"Although none of us have pens, we can tear these sticky notes into different shapes and crumple them into paper balls. People with the same shape can live in the same room.
"In this way, our room allocation is completely random, and the killer cannot interfere with it. It is in our best interest."
"No, no, no, I don't think so."
No. 3, a woman, spoke. She is obviously also a girl who likes to play killing games, and she has been actively following No. 4 before.
Now that No. 4 has been killed, she feels she should come forward.
"It's not right for you to get lucky like this."
"So, young lady, what do you think is the best thing to do?"
No. 8 asked very gentlemanly.
“The correct approach is to single out the most suspect people first and let the rest live together.
"As for these suspects, either let them live together or live alone. You can also put a lock on them."
"If the lock is hung correctly and no murder occurs next time it gets dark, we will win."
“If the confinement lock is hung incorrectly and a murder occurs the next time it gets dark, the imprisoned people will also be excluded from the killer list.
"If you continue to use the elimination method like this, sooner or later you will find the real killer."
Girl No. 3’s creative speech was recognized by everyone. No. 8 even had any rebuttal. It's just that new problems have arisen.
"Then let's talk about it, who is the most suspect?"
Question No. 8.
Meng Fei spoke on the 5th:
"The dark time is only 15 seconds. In the dark living room for the first time, the murderer will definitely want to kill the most people in the shortest time.
"So the two people who were most suspicious were the two people sitting next to No. 4?
"I was sitting next to No. 4 at that time. So I admit that I was one of the most suspect people.
"In order to prove that I am not the murderer, I am willing to take the initiative to request that I be placed with the suspect."
When he said this, others turned to look at him with trust. Because everyone takes it for granted that the killer will not be suspected of self-destruction.
