Chapter 104: Scorching Edge Strategy (4)
"An hour of rest can't be wasted, it's time to act. Ye Qingmian slowly stood up from the sofa.
"Do you need us to do anything?" asked Liu Di.
"Conserve your strength, talk less, move less, think less. You can lie down quietly like a corpse. No one thought he was joking, because Ye Qingmian's expression was very serious, and it was a little different from his usual appearance.
"Why?" asked Kim so-shi, puzzled.
"Because of a key factor that has been overlooked, a very fatal factor – temperature. Ye Qingmian felt the atmosphere around him, from the slight coldness when he first entered the venue, to the mild and moderate now. Based on the setting of 1°C per turn, the room temperature should be 27°C now, and by the time the 11th round is ready to vote, the temperature will rise to 31°C.
And according to the current development, there is still a long way to go before the first person successfully obtains 15 pieces of information. Sooner or later, it will turn into a scorching hell. At that time, the test will no longer be the merits of the strategy, but perhaps more of a physical competition.
"What are you going to do?" asked Liu Di.
"There are three people who have a lead, and no one will vote for it anyway, so it will be an infinite stalemate, so I want to pull everyone back to the starting point. ”
"But the two leading ones are our own people. Liu Di felt a little pity, and seemed unwilling to let the lead be gone. After all, I have never been so high in the front and close to winning the reincarnation game.
"Rest assured, although it seems that the previous rounds have been wasted here, it is not. I have the message of victory. Ye Qingmian looked at Liu Di and Jin Xiushi with certainty. "We must find a way to kill Zhong Ming, Bai Diandian, and Su Mancheng. Although I have nothing to do with them, I don't mind seizing this opportunity to let them go to the Gray Palace to be buried with them. ”
"Who is the Gray Palace?" asked Liu Di subconsciously.
Ye Qingmian sighed, but then smiled, the gray palace said, buddy still remembers you, "You guys have a good rest, I'm going to talk to someone." ”
Ye Qingmian was about to act, but saw Zhong Ming walking in one direction with a full purpose. "Maybe I can wait. ”
The conference hall is large in size, but there are many furnishings piled up inside, enough for each small group to find a relatively private environment for conversation, and there are many small rooms around, so that those who want to avoid the eyes of others can find a suitable venue.
Sun Feifei, Luo Nuo, Camellia, and Wang Qianshan were sitting silently opposite each other in a small corner surrounded by potted plants. The current situation is very unfavorable for several people. If everyone refuses, then everyone will die together in the end.
If there are fools who continue to self-destruct, it is the three people who have been voting for rejection since the beginning, and there are three other people who deliberately self-destruct whose intentions have not yet been revealed.
Now it seems that it has completely become a foil, and the little ants in a giant game may be trampled to death at any time, and this feeling makes the four people very uneasy.
"The air is good. A completely unfamiliar voice suddenly appeared beside several people, because they had been immersed in their own thoughts, and the four of them did not notice Zhong Ming's arrival in time. After being woken up by the voice, several people quickly got up and looked at Zhong Ming very vigilantly, and the meaning of rejection in their eyes was very obvious.
"You don't need to be so hostile, do you? I think we're on the same page, and we're facing the same enemy. Zhong Ming said gently.
"Don't we think we have the same position, and who do you say we are facing the same enemy?" Sun Feifei said with some sarcasm, in fact, she didn't mind communicating with Zhong Ming, because Zhong Ming took the initiative to find it, which might bring some changes to the current stalemate. But Sun Feifei, who was in trouble, was very dissatisfied with the strong self-confidence that was faintly revealed in Zhong Ming's heart.
"I could have avoided participating in the reincarnation primary, which is my privilege, and because of Ye Qingmian, I am here. The person who made you fall into the death of elimination is also Ye Qingmian. So we have the same enemy. Zhong Ming said.
"It doesn't make sense for us to talk about this now. Camellia began, "At least for me, staying alive is the most important thing." ”
"As a result, everyone is in danger, and if no one gets 15 pieces of information all the time, then everyone will be roasted to death in this closed environment. Although the temperature around us has not bothered us yet, the pressure caused by the temperature will become a fatal factor over time. Even if we were going to cooperate with it, we wouldn't have the ability to get 15 pieces of information for someone to win. Zhong Ming said with some alarmism.
"And what good advice do you have?" asked Rono.
"The current situation is that there are 3 people with a lead of 6 messages, and in order to avoid being successfully reached by these 3 people to reach the 15 information threshold to enter the blue room, everyone has to vote no. Because the rules say that only the first one to get 15 pieces of information can enter the room with the blue door, which is the key to leaving. Originally, if we had chosen to vote for all of us in the first round, if all 10 people could trust each other, they would have been able to enter the blue gate at the same time. But because of the breakdown of cooperation in the first round, it led to mistrust, which led to an impasse in the whole situation due to selfishness. So the best strategy for us now is to bring everything back to the starting line, which is the original state of the game. Zhong Ming said to the four people without hurry, although he was suggesting, but his increasingly confident and firm tone infected others, making people feel that it was feasible to do so.
"The initial state of the game?" Rono and the others wondered.
"That's right, it's all in the same state, that is, they have the same amount of information. Only when everyone is on the same level can we all work together. Otherwise, if even one person is ahead, then the matter of all employees reaching the standard together will not occur. Zhong Ming said.
"To put it simply, who doesn't know how to do that, but how do you get those three people who have the lead to vote for acceptance? Only if they vote for acceptance, can we all be on the same page. Sun Feifei felt that what Zhong Ming said had some truth, but if she thought about it carefully, it didn't seem to be such a difficult thing to think of, but it was too difficult to achieve.
"Edge Strategy. Zhong Ming said.
"What is a marginal strategy?" Sun Feifei was puzzled.
"It's a gamble for the brave. "The brinkmanship strategy is to escalate the conflict until it is on the brink of war, so as to exert strong pressure on the other side to make strong concessions to oneself." Or, rather, it is a threatening tactic to create or take advantage of a terrible outcome that is absolutely unacceptable to both sides to threaten the other. ”
"It's... I'm still a little unsure, what to do?" Wang Qianshan said.
"Two people are standing on a speeding train, the train is about to enter the tunnel, whoever bows his head first loses, but if he doesn't bow his head, then he will knock down the hole and die. Whoever can hold on a little longer wins. Zhong Ming continued in a demagogic voice, "We should unite and threaten the three people who are in a dominant position and have already obtained 6 pieces of information. Either go and vote for it yourself, let everyone get the same number of messages, and everyone goes back to the starting line. Either let this stalemate continue, and everyone will die together. As long as you have the idea of preferring to die and not give in, you will definitely succeed, for example, that Ye Qingmian, I know that he is the one who has 6 pieces of information. ”
"How do you know?" asked Wang Qianshan.
"Guess. Zhong Ming replied very smoothly, seemingly casually, but his eyes directly and clearly told others, I can be sure that it is Ye Qingmian, I have evidence, but I won't tell you.
In fact, Zhong Ming knew that Ye Qingmian must be the one who self-destructed in the fifth round, because of what he and Su Mancheng thought of, maybe he also thought of it, and was doing some similar tests.
In addition to the 4 first rounds in front of the 10 people, they were fooled into voting and accepted, and they and Su Mancheng and Ye Qingmian self-destructed once, so it is clear who is in the lead.
Zhong Ming knew that Ye Qingmian, like himself, had no scruples about self-destructing once because he knew that sooner or later there would be a situation where it was inevitable to level the amount of information of everyone in order to advance the process. Therefore, these 4 people went to threaten Ye Qingmian, just to give Ye Qingmian a message, and it was almost time to level out the number of messages and make the final game.
Zhong Ming believes that Liu Di's vote can be swayed by Ye Qingmian. At the same time, he also explained the situation to the other two leading people, Bai Diandian and Kim so-shi, and either start over or die together.
The reason why it is not recommended that they directly threaten Jin Xiushi and Bai Diandian is because Jin Xiushi's temperament is too cold, and his behavior is decisive, Zhong Ming has seen a little girl who can be so ruthless to himself and so young for the first time, that kind of uncompromising fighting spirit, that kind of ruthlessness that would rather be broken by jade, it is a capital accident to get rid of it, and Zhong Ming is reluctant to touch a point with such a serious uncertainty.
The reason why it is not recommended that they threaten Bai Diandian is simple, according to Bai Diandian's original words, "Lao Tzu is frightened." 'Bai Dian used to mix all kinds of places with three religions and nine streams all year round, and came into contact with all kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods. Don't do too much of threats and bluffs, and although Bai Dian is afraid of death, he is also a single, a donkey, leading and going backwards. If you really want to match those 4 people, it may not be the result.
"In the current stalemate, this may be an option. Let's discuss it again, if you don't have anything else..."Rono nodded and accepted Zhong Ming's proposal, but their small group of four obviously had to discuss some more things. Zhong Ming nodded slightly, confident that if nothing else, the situation of leveling out the amount of information of everyone would soon appear. But Zhong Ming guessed the wrong direction of the progress of things, and a small accident occurred.
"Actually, I don't think I have to threaten Ye Qingmian, those three people are all the remnants of the previous reincarnation, and they want to get rid of him. Although I don't know how Ye Qingmian got into trouble with the Overseer, he is a newcomer anyway, just like us. I think I just want to protect myself, so for me, the three veterans on Zhong Ming's side are the biggest enemies. If you do a good job, you may be attacked. I think Zhong Ming is provoking the relationship between us and Ye Qingmian and dividing us in this game of reincarnation. Sun Feifei speculated.
"I think what Sun Feifei said makes sense, in fact, this edge strategy, it doesn't matter who threatens, the important thing is to let people know that we have the determination to rather break the jade than the whole thing, as long as others know what we think, then if you want to break the deadlock, the person with the lead in the amount of information will definitely choose to vote for acceptance. Wang Qianshan echoed.
"Ye Qingmian is also the one who is targeted, maybe we can unite him, at least don't offend, and talk about the rest after he gets out alive. Camellia suggested.
"That's right, for us, Zhong Ming's three people are the biggest enemies, so I think we can threaten that little gangster called Bai Diandian. For one, I felt that he must be one of the three who took the lead, because I could feel his selfishness and hypocritical performance before every vote. Second, this kind of gangster is generally greedy for life and afraid of death, and if the four of us threaten him together, he will definitely feel pressure, and we are easy to succeed. The third is to let Zhong Ming and those people know that although we are newcomers, we are definitely not at the mercy of others, thinking that we have participated in the game of reincarnation, they want us to threaten whoever they want? We prefer to threaten such seniors and let them know that we are not easy to mess with. Rono said.
"I agree with Luo Nuo's statement, in this way, we will not have a direct conflict with Ye Qingmian's side, and if we need to form an alliance in the future, we will have one more choice. If you listen to Zhong Ming and offend Ye Qingmian, it would be good if you can unite at a critical time in the future, and there will be no major conflict. Camellia added.
The 4 people analyzed the matter very clearly, so they collectively agreed to use the white dot as a breakthrough to carry out a marginal strategy and let everyone return to the starting point.
Soon after, four people went out in groups and walked to the white dot in the middle of the hall where they were squatting and smoking. When passing by Ye Qingmian's side, Luo Nuo and the others nodded to Ye Qingmian.
This made Ye Qingmian a little confused. What are they going to do? Why can't they understand it, and in secret common sense, shouldn't they be the one who makes people want to die the most? Did they just show favor to themselves? The rules of reincarnation have become eliminated and died because of themselves, are these people amnesia?
Compared with Ye Qingmian's puzzlement, when Zhong Ming saw that the four people were actually walking towards the white spots, his face changed slightly, "These idiots." ”
"Dot, are you one of those 3 people who have 6 pieces of information. Sun Feifei asked menacingly.
"yes. Bai Diandian was a little confused, I didn't know what these people were going to do, but I still admitted it very calmly. Although Luo Nuo and the others hoped to get the true information of Bai Dian accurately, he admitted it directly and shamelessly, without any regard for how he bowed before and how he incited everyone to vote for it, which made several people feel annoyed.
"We ask you to vote for it next time!" Rono said without flinching.
As soon as these words came out, everyone except these people was shocked, Zhong Ming's expression was solemn, and he exhaled deeply, Ye Qingmian almost choked himself with a mouthful of saliva.
"It's not just you, there are two other people who have the number of leading news, and you are listening. We ask you to vote yes on the next ballot, and all of us will be equalized, or we will die together. You know, no one will vote anymore, and the only way out for you is to go back to square one, and then everyone will accept it together, and at the same time get 15 messages and open the blue door to pass. ”
Ye Qingmian glanced at Zhong Ming, is this the result of Zhong Ming going to those 4 people to negotiate?
Zhong Ming was also looking at Ye Qingmian, his face was calm, and he read the meaning conveyed in Ye Qingmian's eyes, and there seemed to be some ridicule. Zhong Ming didn't explain anything, but was deeply disappointed that the 4 cannon fodder were not counted.
After a short period of shock and stupidity, Bai Diandian realized that he was threatened, and his chest was burned by a fire at that time. "How old are you? A few cubs who haven't passed the primary election have learned to threaten your Bai Ye? Your Bai Ye has been reincarnated in the upper realm, all the way from the primary election to the final election, no one dares to scare Lao Tzu. ”
Su Mancheng nodded while looking at the excitement, this is true, Bai Diandian has the ability to kill anyone at any time and place 3 times, and he has always threatened others.
If these 4 people choose to threaten Ye Qingmian, then Bai Diandian weighs the pros and cons, although it is disgusting, but maybe he will really have no choice but to vote for it, after all, it is not a matter of being so stiff all the time. But this threatening ancestor was blatantly forced to vote by 4 people he despised.
Not to mention that Bai Diandian is a little resistant, if he really compromises, then this face will be completely lost. Bai Diandian, this person, or this kind of guy who fights small and big guys, does not want to lose face if he loses his life.
If these 4 people are moved by emotion, it may be possible, but now that they have directly swept away the face of others, I am afraid that I can't bear this temper in vain.
Bai Dots didn't give the four people a chance to speak at all, and all kinds of swear words popped out of his mouth like machine guns, and the spitting stars were clearly visible in the light. The sound of the white dot is very loud, and whoever wants to open his mouth will immediately be covered by the louder voice of the white dot. While scolding, he oppressively walked towards 4 people, and forced 4 people all the way to the wall.
"The turtle son threatened Lao Tzu, the grass is grassy, and he is afraid of death is the grandson. You idiots continue to vote no. What should I do, I'll tell you, Lao Tzu will vote no next time, go to your mother's acceptance, accept your grandmother's legs. it, it!"
"Want to threaten Lao Tzu? Tell you, listen to Lao Tzu. Don't say that I bullied you in vain, you take turns to vote, add the number of news from your Bai Ye all the way, and let Lao Tzu enter that room. Didn't the rules say, inside is the key to leaving, you vote to let Lao Tzu in, maybe I will be soft-hearted and leak a little news to you, maybe you can also get out. Of course, I can't help it if I just go out there. If you don't vote for Lao Tzu, then you will die together. Bai Ye is messing around in the rivers and lakes, if you can be bullied by a few of you, it is better to die. After saying that, Bai Dian spat on the ground, took out a cigarette, and walked away angrily.
The 4 people were confused, but they didn't expect Bai Diandian to be a completely uncompromising person, so what should they do? Do you want to stalemate, let the temperature rise as the rounds pass, and everyone die together? Or do you really want to choose to vote for yourself again, so that Bai Diandian can successfully get 15 pieces of information, if so, will he share the key information obtained in the blue door room with others? Yes or if you enter that door and just leave, what will happen to the other people? How can you get the person who enters the room to share information with the other person?
"That's the success story of the edge strategy, alas. Ye Qingmian sighed, he really admired it a little, his acting skills were really good. If there is one person here who doesn't want to die the least, then Ye Qingmian feels that it must be a white spot, but looking at his menacing appearance, who dares to bet?
"They seem to be a little moved by the white dots. Didn't they obviously threaten Bai Diandian? Will they really vote to accept it?" Liu Di also said helplessly.
"Two riders are driving opposite each other on a till up. If you don't turn, you will collide. If you make the first turn, you lose. One of them shouted that he would never turn, while the other blindfolded. Needless to say, who turned in the end? The four of them really hit the muzzle of the gun. Ye Qingmian gave an example.
"Wouldn't it be good for us if they did vote yes? ”
"But Bai Diandian will also go in with you, I'm not worried, it's better to kill that kind of person, otherwise it will be trouble in the future. Ye Qingmian whispered, "The ability of white dots-death declaration is really too incomprehensible, have you read the death note? Just write your name in a small notebook, and you will hang up." With this ability, he can scare all his opponents from the beginning to the end, while others have to compromise, which is a real headache. A rare opportunity that must not be missed. So, he can't win. ”
"Oh. Liu Di was a little helpless, he felt that Ye Qingmian's murderous intent was very resolute, and he didn't say anything more.
"Another point is that that direction of development is not in my plan, nor is it in the plan of those few people, there are too many variables. Liu Di, do a favor and tell those 4 people not to waver, and continue to vote against the next vote. I have a way, leave it to me to solve it. ”
"In addition, Xiushi, you go and tell Bai Diandian that you are also one of the three people with 6 information advantages, and you will unswervingly continue to vote no, hoping that Bai Diandian can also insist on voting no and force others to compromise. Jin Xiushi nodded, although he didn't understand why this was at all, while asking Liu Di to tell those four people not to compromise, and at the same time letting himself tell Bai Diandian to force those four people to compromise?
