Chapter 22: I see you're embarrassing our big demon

Cheng Jinyang opened his eyes.

saw that in the small room, Ye Ru was sitting on the chair behind him.

At this time, what she had on her face was not the hearty, sunny, and free and easy feminine smile she had before.

Rather, it's some kind of gloomy, morbid, chilling evil sneer.

"Cheng Jinyang, I want to play a game with you."

She whispered, with a hint of banter in her tone.

"Games?" Cheng Jinyang turned around, and at the same time, his mind sank to the bottom.

Sure enough, Ye Ru is the demon, the owner of this memory.

"What do you think of the phrase 'those who are not of my race will have different hearts'?" Ye Ru put one hand on her cheek, and raised a finger in her right hand, "Oh, wait a minute, do you know about this?" ”

"The original demon is a human at its source."

As soon as the words fell, in the air in front of the two, a huge screen suddenly unfolded.

The picture on the screen is exactly what is being monitored from the air diagonally above, the situation of Xing Yuanzhi and the other four girls: they are scanning the surroundings with a cautious face at this time, and at the same time protecting Yang Wangshu behind them.

Yang Wangshu clasped his hands together, and the electromagnetic waves were constantly scanning the entire Taoist temple.

"You've got good company." The corners of Ye Ru's mouth hooked, "Of course, I have it too." ”

"If reality can meet you and me in advance like the previous dream, maybe we can build a more intimate relationship. Unfortunately, I'm a demon now, and you seem to be the kind of person who arbitrarily judges good and evil because of your race......"

She sighed a little sadly, then put one hand on her cheek and snapped her fingers:

"Then, if your cherished companion also becomes a demon at some point, you will ......"

“…… What to do? ”

Before the words fell, Cheng Jinyang saw that on the screen, Chu Qingqing suddenly choked his throat.

Before the girls could react, her pores began to spew hot steam outward, and the person was lying up in some strange position, and her throat was popping as if she were about to lose her mind.

"Demonize!" Wang Wanrou shouted in a low voice, her eyes were obscure.

"How is that possible?! Didn't you drink of that water? ”

Xing Yuanzhi hurriedly protected the two of them and retreated sharply, and she suddenly found out at this time that the two people with the strongest combat power in the team were gone at this time.

Cheng Jinyang disappeared suddenly, Chu Qingqing mutated inexplicably, and now she is the only one left, to protect Wang Wanrou and Yang Wangshu, who have no combat ability, at the same time, is this an impossible task at the hell level?

Looking at Chu Qingqing, who turned his head blankly, and the figure looming from the porch in the distance, Xing Yuanzhi gritted her teeth and reached out to touch the pistol on her waist.

Behind the screen, Cheng Jinyang stared at the picture expressionlessly, and heard Ye Ru chuckle again and said:

"This way, the content of the game is simple."

"Your companion, the young girl, has begun to demonize for some reason."

"Now I'm telling you, she'll keep her sane after the demonization is over, and not eat people like a puppet."

"However, I'm a demon~"

"The demon says that the demon that your companion has turned into is harmless, will you choose to believe me or not?"

"Do I believe there is a difference?" Cheng Jinyang asked rhetorically.

"Yes~"

Ye Ru playfully clapped her hands again, and then there was an extra button on the screen, and in the center was the 90 seconds countdown.

"As long as you press it before the countdown runs out, the other three girls will be teleported to safety."

"Then the demons who rush in from the outside will tear the young girl to pieces."

Of course, you can also choose not to press it. So if the young girl still retains consciousness after being demonized, then she will fight side by side with the other three girls, and everyone can survive. ”

"But what, if I was lying just now, then the unconscious young girls will be brutally killed."

"Of course, it's just a dream. Whichever scenario you choose, there will be no material damage to them. ”

"So you choose according to your heart. After choosing, I will send you away, and they will not know what you have chosen. ”

"What's the point of that for you?" Cheng Jinyang asked in a deep voice.

"To be honest, it doesn't make much sense." Ye Ru leisurely cocked a slender white leg, "If it weren't for the fact that you didn't show discrimination and hostility towards me when we first met, we wouldn't be able to communicate so peacefully now." ”

Cheng Jinyang was silent.

After a little thought, he realized that this should be a variant of the "prisoner's dilemma" puzzle:

If what Ye Ru said is true, then:

Press the button: The young girl will die.

Don't press the button: Relying on Ah Zhi's quicksand field and the metal manipulation of the young girl, there is a high probability that all members will survive.

However, if what Ye Ru said is false, then:

Press the button: The young girl will die.

Don't press the button: Ah Zhi and the others will be killed by the demon Qingqing who has lost her mind, which is equivalent to the death of all of them.

In other words, pressing the button is to sacrifice the young girls to ensure the survival of Ah Zhi; If you don't press the button, then you have to bet on whether what Ye Ru said is true or false, that is, whether the young girl who has become a demon can still maintain her normal sanity.

The former can't be the best, but it doesn't fall to the worst either; The latter is a psychological game with Ye Ru.

And in the case that he didn't know Ye Ru at all, he could only see if the demon was trustworthy in his heart.

If you want to eliminate risks, of course, it is best to choose the former, anyway, after the dream is over, it will not cause damage to Chu Qingqing.

But...... What if this is the reality?

He looked at the screen silently, watching Xing Yuanzhi protect Wang Wanrou and Yang Wangshu retreat to the corner, while Chu Qingqing collapsed to the ground and convulsed, his skin began to become smooth and full of charm, and his bones and body curves began to mutate and optimize, gradually transforming into a real demon.

Until the last time was over, Cheng Jinyang never pressed the button.

With a snap, at the moment when the countdown cleared, the screen suddenly went black.

"Why don't you press the button?" Ye Ru stood up from her chair, "Do you choose to believe my words, or is it simply a lack of decision, or is it the result of rational calculation?" ”

"Neither." Cheng Jinyang replied.

"What does that mean?" Ye Ru narrowed her eyes and stared at him.

"Didn't you say that no matter what you choose in your dreams, it won't really affect reality, so let me follow my heart?" Cheng Jinyang smiled faintly, "This is my heart's choice." ”

Ye Ru was silent for a moment.

In the next second, a monstrous anger suddenly erupted.

By the time Cheng Jinyang came back to his senses, he had already been put on the ground.

Ye Ru rode across his body, but such an ambiguous posture could not make him have a charming thought, because one of the other party's hands had already strangled his neck, and the sharp nails almost pierced his skin.

"In that case, then why did you exclude Xiao Qi?!"

She gritted her teeth and roared, as if there was an erupting volcano in her eyes: "Su Lili, she is so, so sincere to you...... You are only willing to save these women, but you are stingy to share even a little bit of your ridiculous kindness with her! ”

"The reason is simple." Breathing became more and more difficult, and Cheng Jinyang said with difficulty, "How can I trust someone I haven't met?" ”

"But she's not ......" Ye Ru just wanted to ask, but suddenly got stuck again.

She understood what Cheng Jinyang meant: In the dream realm, demons with higher authority can manipulate everything the other party sees and hears at will.

This is like why many online datings are unreliable, because what the other party shows in the virtual environment may not be exactly the same as in reality.

Because of this, he prefers to believe what he sees in reality, and of course there is nothing wrong with it.

But Xiao Qi ...... After all, she's a demon! How could it be possible to infiltrate Jiankang City, the largest technological city of the Human Empire, without alarming anyone?

I see you're embarrassing our big demon!
