Chapter 199, Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming
According to the whole story, according to the way of thinking of normal people, it is very likely that they will think that there is a ghost under the bed, and Xiao Ming will use a flashlight to check, then he will be victimized by ghosts.
So Xiao Ming will die, at the hands of the ghost.
But is that all there really is?
The idea of this rhetorical question was immediately rejected in my heart.
If the answer was really that simple, then the hunchbacked old man wouldn't have used it to test me.
Xiao Ming will indeed die, but his death may not be as simple as we seem.
From the very beginning, it is mentioned in the story that suddenly one day, Xiao Ming realizes that he is living in a fictional horror story, and he thinks that he will die, the kind that died miserably.
From this sentence, it can be seen that Xiao Ming is likely to suffer from paranoia.
Because normal people can't verify whether the world they live in is true or false, it's like dreaming, in which you never know whether you're dreaming or not, and you can only tell when you wake up from the dream.
Assuming that Xiao Ming suffers from paranoia, then his next words are not so credible.
In the story, Xiao Ming, in order to prevent accidental death, checks the gas, water and electricity, and throws away all dangerous knives.
There is nothing wrong with this in itself, but the real problem is Xiao Ming's roommate's behavior.
In Xiao Ming's world, his roommate was newly moved, and he basically didn't talk to him, and in the face of Xiao Ming's actions, his roommate actually invited a ghost hunter.
Here, that's where the most puzzling point comes in.
Xiao Ming rummaged through the cabinets, just to avoid his own death from the accident.
When normal people face this situation, they are more likely to persuade Xiao Ming and comfort Xiao Ming.
But his roommate invited someone to catch ghosts, which doesn't make sense logically.
What is it that makes the roommate feel that there is a ghost in the house, and he has to ask someone to hunt the ghost?
There is no mention of these in the story.
So for the whole world built by Xiao Ming, the roommate's behavior is also abrupt, very strange, and it is also the key point to solve the puzzle.
Before, I had assumed that Xiao Ming had paranoia, so his words were not credible, and the story he put into it from his perspective was also not credible.
So I'll try it from a different perspective.
Use the perspective of your roommates to substitute the whole story, and then scrutinize them one by one.
First of all, there is a question, what is the movement or something that makes the roommate think that there is a ghost in the house?
Under normal circumstances, there are ghosts in the eyes of normal people, generally the kind that they see dirty things with their own eyes and are scared, and there is also the kind that they can't see dirty things, but they can find a lot of unreasonable things.
For example, tables and chairs suddenly move, light bulbs burst, and strange phenomena such as terrible cries in the house.
In the senses of normal people, this is a symbol of ghosts.
But the story does not clearly point out that there are these movements, or that the perspective of these movements is only Xiao Ming's perspective, but as a roommate's perspective......
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but light up my eyes, and the whole person suddenly realized.
That's right, the roommate's perspective is the key!
"I know the answer!"
I raised my head and stared at the hunchbacked old man: "The final answer is...... Xiao Ming will die!"
"How did you die?" asked the hunchbacked old man.
"If you guessed correctly, Xiao Ming's death was the work of the master invited by his roommate!"
I said amazingly: "As for the reason, there is only one, because Xiao Ming is a ghost!"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Gang's eyes widened suddenly.
They were still thinking about the problem, obviously not expecting me to give this answer.
As for the hunchbacked old man, he still didn't react, just stared at me, as if waiting for my explanation.
I sorted out my thoughts and continued to speak: "The whole story unfolds from Xiao Ming's first perspective, but from the first sentence, I speculated that Xiao Ming is likely to suffer from paranoia, so his words are not credible. Later, the story introduces roommates, but the roommate's behavior is strange everywhere, and when combined with the beginning of the story, it is not reasonable at all. ”
So I can only empathize, borrow the perspective of my roommate, and analyze the whole story again, as long as I change the perspective and figure out the principle, then the truth is not far away. ”
It has been pointed out in the story that because of Xiao Ming's behavior of rummaging through the cabinets, the roommate will invite the ghost hunter. So according to the analysis from the perspective of his roommate, it is very likely that he has hit a ghost, and this ghost is Xiao Ming, who has turned over the cabinet!"
"As mentioned in the previous story, the roommate is a newcomer, and basically hasn't spoken to Xiao Ming, to be precise, it's not that the roommate doesn't say it, but he can't see Xiao Ming at all! Because the roommate can't see Xiao Ming, so Xiao Ming moves water and electricity, and throws props, in the eyes of the roommate, it becomes an evil spirit, so the roommate will invite the ghost hunter. ”
After the ghost hunter came to the door, Xiao Ming sat quietly and did not make any moves, so when the roommate asked, the master said that there was no movement. ”
"However, when Xiao Ming picked up the flashlight and was about to check the situation under the bed, his action of holding the flashlight was obviously a ghost in the eyes of the master and his roommates, so the last paragraph of the story will point out that the master suddenly opened his eyes, because he had already discovered Xiao Ming's ghost!
After saying this, my forehead was unconsciously covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat, I don't know if it was because I was nervous or too emotional.
The outcome of this story is indeed somewhat unexpected.
At the beginning, from Xiao Ming's point of view, Xiao Ming seems to be the core of this story, or the protagonist.
But this is just a superficial illusion, because reasoning from Xiao Ming's perspective can't get an answer at all, only empathy, reasoning from another direction, that is, another character who appears in the story, the perspective of a roommate, can solve the conflicts and contradictions in the story one by one.
Faced with my answer, the hunchbacked old man was silent for a few seconds, and finally nodded: "The answer is correct, next, please listen to the second reasoning story......"
The hunchbacked old man didn't talk nonsense, went straight to the point, and began to tell the second story.
A few days ago, Xiao Ming, along with his six older siblings, robbed a wealthy businessman and got a huge sum of 10 million. Xiao Ming wanted to swallow this huge amount of money alone, so he became murderous. ”
In the name of drinking celebratory wine, Xiao Ming invited his brother and sister to a barren mountain resort that was about to go out of business, intending to implement his plan. ”
Xiao Ming knew that the second brother was very addicted to smoking, and after the meal, while the second brother went to the backyard to smoke, Xiao Ming quietly followed and stabbed the second brother in the heart, and the second brother died on the spot. ”
Xiao Ming, who had planned for a long time, buried the body of his second brother quickly, and at this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the yard, and someone was approaching. ”
Xiao Ming knew that it was the third brother, because before the murder, Xiao Ming had already calculated the time and figured out the movements of the brothers and sisters, the sixth sister was taking a bath, the eldest brother and the fifth sister were watching the scenery on the top of the mountain, and the fourth brother was reading a book in the room, and only the third brother could appear in the backyard at this time. ”
Xiao Ming put on a smile and greeted him, taking advantage of the defenselessness of the third brother, he suddenly pulled out a knife and stabbed the third brother twice in the chest, and the third brother fell to the ground on the spot, bleeding nonstop. ”
Xiao Ming took advantage of the situation and stabbed a few more times in the harmful position, and only let go after confirming that the third brother was completely dead, and then buried the third brother's body. ”
After solving the two people, Xiao Ming quickly set the target on the fourth brother, but after arriving at the fourth brother's room, Xiao Ming was stupid, because the fourth brother was dead! ”
"Xiao Ming suddenly realized that in this barren mountain resort, there are still people who have the same idea as him to swallow 10 million alone!"
Xiao Ming immediately thought of the sixth sister, because the eldest brother and the fifth sister were watching the scenery on the top of the mountain, and only the sixth sister was closest to the fourth brother, so it was best to start. ”
With the idea of starting first, Xiao Ming quickly rushed to the sixth sister's room. When he went in and looked, Xiao Ming was immediately startled, because he found that the sixth sister was also dead! There was also a headless corpse covered in blood in the room!"
"It's not the sixth sister, is it the eldest brother and the fifth sister's hand? With the eldest brother's extraordinarily burly body, it is indeed easy to kill one or two people. Xiao Ming thought about it, searched around the house and outside, and after finding that there was no one, he rushed to the mountain. ”
"When he got to the top of the mountain, Xiao Ming was so frightened that he screamed, because on the tree on the top of the mountain, there were two human heads, and they were the heads of the eldest brother and the fifth sister!"
"Xiao Ming's whole person is going crazy, and now everyone is dead, so who is the murderer?"
At this point in the story, the hunchbacked old man stopped again, and then asked, "Now, you come and tell me, who is the murderer?
Before I could think about it, Wang Gang began to complain.
"Xiao Ming! It's Xiao Ming! Can you change a new nickname?" Wang Gang looked strange: "Xiao Ming provoked you, and the whole family will die at every turn......
"Say less!" Liu Yun hurriedly covered Wang Gang's mouth.
For Wang Gang, who had already cleared the customs, the hunchbacked old man ignored him, and just kept staring at me: "Give you five minutes to answer questions and find out the murderer." ”
"Didn't it take fifteen minutes before?" I frowned slightly, "Why is it five minutes now?"
"There's no why, just answer the question!" the hunchbacked old man snorted coldly: "You still have four and a half minutes." ”
For the overbearing behavior of the hunchbacked old man, I dare not speak out.
Now he is in charge of our fate, and even if it is temporarily more difficult, I can only passively bear it.
As for the question raised by the hunchbacked old man, to be honest, it is not difficult, and for me, it is still a little simple, because before, I solved a similar problem, that is, ABCDE's fake death question.
The two questions are somewhat similar to each other, and after a little thought and analysis, I have the answer in my heart.
"Now, there's only three minutes left. The hunchbacked old man reminded from time to time.
He did this, naturally, not out of good intentions, but to put pressure on me, increase my sense of urgency, and make it impossible for me to calm down.
"No need to rush, I already know the answer. ”
I said coldly: "Needless to say, Xiao Ming's fate is basically certain death, the murderer killed so many people, it must be to swallow that huge amount of money, naturally he will not let Xiao Ming go, as for the real murderer, if you guess correctly, it should be...... Xiao Ming's sixth sister!"
"Sixth sister?" Before the hunchbacked old man could speak, Wang Gang exclaimed: "Wasn't the sixth sister beheaded to death? How could she be a murderer?"
"Oh~!I know, the sixth sister must have become a ghost!" Liu Meng added.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, Song Qian rolled her eyes and rewarded two words: "Idiot!"
