At that time, children were reluctant to gather with their parents and elders.

Upstairs, more than 20 young people soon gathered, each in groups of three or five to play, just like before the opening dance.

For Jonas, there aren't many things that can be played these days, not even video games, which are not popular yet.

In Switzerland, the way to have fun is even simpler, with boys getting together to play cards, girls getting together to play chess, then smoking and chatting like adults, and that's pretty much it.

The reason why foreigners like to die is not because of anything else, but because there are too few entertainment items.

Now Jonas wanted to re-establish himself among these friends, and after playing cards boringly with a few friends for a while, he looked at the number of people in the living room and had an idea.

He stood up, clapped his hands, attracted everyone's attention and said, "This kind of party is too boring, why don't we play a game together." A game that everyone can participate in. ”

In the hall, the oldest was Katon, who was already twenty-five years old and had just graduated from college, and the youngest was Neuer, a thirteen-year-old girl.

Hearing Jonas's words, there was a puzzle on everyone's face and they asked, "A game that everyone can play together?"

"Yes. It's best to have about sixteen people, and although we have a few more people, we can definitely guarantee that everyone will enjoy the game. ”

Sheffield, as the owner, stood up and said, "If there is such a game, count me in." ”

When he said this, everyone immediately responded.

Jonas laughed, "So now, let's put all the positions in a circle, and then I'll tell you the rules of the game." ”

The Rosengart family lives on the outskirts of the city in a Renaissance-style three-storey building built in the sixties. The living room on the first floor can hold a dance party for hundreds of people, and the living room on the second floor is not small, so when holding a large drinking party, there is no problem accommodating dozens of people.

The twenty or so men occupied only a small area, a few chairs, and Sheffield quickly moved the chairs with a few boys.

There were twenty-three of them, and after they sat down in an oval circle, Jonas said, "The game we are going to play is called the Killing Game, and among us, a certain percentage of killers, a certain percentage of policemen, and the rest are civilians......

The origin of the killing game Jonas, I can't remember when, it was already around in the fifties.

However, it wasn't until the 90s that Princeton University incorporated the game as a puzzle game into the school's promotional program.

At first, the game only had killers and no police, and later developed into a complex game with many identities of doctors, secret police, flower butterflies, and snipers.

But in Jonas's view, although the murder game has developed to seven or eight generations, it is still the second generation that only has the easiest rules of the game with killers and policemen, and it is also the most addictive.

Too much identity interference,It will only reduce the fun of the game,Although there are more identities,The puzzle effect is better,But the game,Or the experience is the most important。

What's more, most of today's children don't understand the rules, and if they are too complicated, they will only become chaotic.

Jonas explained the rules of the game in general, and a few friends who did not understand the rules chose to withdraw for a while, watch for a while, and then determine the number to seventeen, with Jonas as the judge.

Sixteen people participate in the game, and four killers, four policemen, and eight civilians are identified.

Then he picked four aces, four kings, and eight other numeric miscellaneous cards, which Jonas held in his hand.

At this time, some of the elders downstairs also came up to watch the excitement, but the Swiss were very well-behaved, and Jonas was not afraid that they would affect the game.

"Since it is a game, everyone must respect and abide by the rules of the game, follow my instructions, and if anyone violates the rules, they will be disqualified from the game. Bystanders are not allowed to speak or give a reminder at any time, otherwise they will be expelled. ”

Sheffield placed a tape recorder next to Jonas, inserted a tape, and laughed, "We're all ashamed of not following the rules, let's get started, I can't wait." ”

Jonas nodded, stood up, and said to the onlookers, "Please be quiet, I'll show you a fun game." Sheffield, it starts with you, everyone draws a card, please don't let anyone know what your card is, it's best to put it in your pocket after reading it. Remember, Ace is the killer, King is the policeman, and the other cards are civilians. ”

Jonas took the shuffled cards and walked around the inner circle, and after each person drew a card, he set up his own cards.

After the draw, Jonas returned to his place and began to preside over the game, "Now, only you know who you are, now follow my instructions." I said please close your eyes when it's dark, please close your eyes. Then I would say the killer please open his eyes, and at this time, only the killer can open his eyes. ”

"Please close your eyes when it's dark. Everyone closed their eyes, and then Jonas said, "Killer, please keep your eyes open." ”

At this time, Kostler, two men and a woman opened their eyes, the girl was only fifteen-year-old Warrens, she was obviously very excited to draw the identity of the killer, and she squeezed her eyebrows with the other three killers.

Jonas played the music, and then said: "After the four killers get to know each other, don't talk now, use gestures to decide which one to kill, and the others can't open their eyes." ”

Both the participants and the onlookers found it interesting, and the number of onlookers increased, but no one interfered with the game.

The four of them decided to kill Sheffield first, and Jonas nodded and turned off the music.

"Killer, please close your eyes. The four of them closed their eyes before Jonas said, "Policeman, please keep your eyes open." ”

After the four policemen opened their eyes and confirmed each other's identities, the onlookers let out a burst of exclamation and then quickly covered their mouths.

Because one of the four policemen was Sheffield, and he was actually dead.

The rules of the killing game are actually very simple, the killer side dies first, the police win, the police or the civilian side dies first, and the killer wins.

Now the police have killed one in the first place, which makes the onlookers a little worried.

As long as the onlookers didn't interfere with the game, their voices would add to the excitement of the game, so Jonas didn't interfere.

"Keep your eyes open at dawn. This time, everyone will be able to open their eyes. ”

Most of the people who participated in the game breathed a sigh of relief, although it was the first time to play this game, but because of the discipline of the Swiss in their bones, they were very involved in the game, and they could already feel the excitement of the game.

"Sheffield, sadly, you were the first one to be killed. Now that you have one last time to speak, you can point out the object of suspicion, and then take care to protect your companions. Others can only speak in Sheffield, take turns speaking in turn, and then vote for the most suspected. Start ...... now"

Sheffield was very dissatisfied and said: "Oh my God, the first time I played this game, I was killed in the first round." The only thing that is certain now is that I am not a killer......"

Everyone laughed, his eyes running over the faces of the gamer, and he gave up and said, "I don't have any suspicions, because I'm done with the game before I feel the fun." In order not to interfere with the judgment of others, I give up the designation. ”

Jonas nodded and said: "Next, I will start speaking from Keller on the right hand side of Sheffield, when it is not your turn, don't interfere with the speech, each round, you can allow one person to cut the queue and point out the object of suspicion, but you also have to take into account that if you rashly cut the line to point out the object of suspicion, you will also be suspected by others, which will suffer in the voting process." Keller, now it's up to you......"

Standing on the periphery of the crowd, Hannah saw Jonas presiding over the game calmly and modestly, and a sense of pride welled up in her heart.

In the past, Jonas acted with the childish nature of a child, but in recent days, he has become very calm, and this change makes her very happy.

Angela whispered beside her, "Hannah, I suddenly realized that Jonas is much more mature than before, and he can even hold down the position by hosting a game with so many people. ”

Hannah laughed and said, "Men can make women mature quickly, and women can also help men grow, and after two unsuccessful relationships, Jonas has indeed matured." ”

Angela looked at Jonas in the crowd, because he was a judge and needed to maintain the rules of the game, he only had an indifferent smile on his face, and he looked very steady.

While the others are engaged in the game, the gains and losses on their faces can be seen at a glance.

It's a pity that he doesn't call Dinah...... However, Kostler is not bad, they are all children who grew up watching.

The first round of presentations ended quickly, and several suspected people could have a chance to defend themselves and then vote.

Unfortunately, the final vote turned out to be wrong, and Joseph, who was a civilian, was voted out.

The regretful sighs of the onlookers made everyone's pressure even greater, and Jonas said quietly: "Now that we enter the second round, please close your eyes when it's dark." ”

After confirming that everyone had closed their eyes, he said, "Killer, please keep your eyes open." ”

Angela whispered, "Hannah, Jonas has changed so much, it's hard to believe that he's been keeping the game in check and getting everyone involved." ”

The smile on Hannah's face faded, and she nodded, "I've always hoped that he would be more stable, but after all, he is not yet eighteen years old, and I don't want him to be subjected to pressure that does not match his age." Looks like I need to talk to him......"

For a grandmother, although she hopes that her grandson will grow up as soon as possible, she is not willing to let him lose the happiness of this age.

Of course, she wouldn't know that today's Jonas is in line with nature, and if he really wants to play a childish young man all the time, he can't pretend to be him.
