Chapter 17: Rules of the Game
It turned out that the note at the bottom of the plate had the name of the game for this level, as well as a detailed introduction to the rules.
Catch the thief game, the dark red name of the game at the top of the note is very eye-catching, which makes people feel a kind of panic inexplicably.
Then, there is the introduction of the game:
The game lasts 72 hours in total, and all players present are divided into the following classes:
First: Murderers.
Second: Judges.
Third: the police.
Fourth: Detectives.
Fifth: Lawyers.
Sixth: Grocery store owners.
Seventh: 5 civilians.
All gamers are not allowed to ask others or reveal their profession on their own initiative, otherwise they will be considered as forfeiting the game and will be eliminated directly.
The murderer must kill 5 people within 70 hours to clear the level, but he must not kill the policeman and the grocery store owner, if the kill is wrong, kill one of the two, and be eliminated on the spot, in addition to this, you can kill anyone at will, remember, when killing, you can't be found by any witness, if you are found, you are eliminated, and the remaining players pass the level.
The judge, who holds the final judgment of the murderer, if the final judgment is correct, the game is passed, and the judgment is wrong, and it is eliminated on the spot.
The main job of the police is to protect the judge and the detective, if one of the two is killed by the murderer, the police will be eliminated on the spot, and the murderer can directly use a designated killing.
The detective must find out the real murderer before the murderer completes the fifth crime and ask for a trial, otherwise he will be punished according to the game failure and eliminated.
Two lawyers, after the trial, are in opposing situations, divided into the prosecution and the defense, regardless of whether the suspect is the real murderer or not, the winning side of the defense clears the game, otherwise is eliminated.
Grocery store owners, independent shops, sell all items and must not divulge the buyer's information and any items purchased, even if the buyer is a murderer. PS: Each player's room has a currency that can be purchased on the bedside table.
Civilians, you can only use currency to buy protection type items, just protect your life, don't die!
Only after the official court session of the game can judges, policemen, detectives, and lawyers reveal their identities and find out the real murderers from among the remaining players.
At the bottom of the note after introducing all the rules of the game, Li Tianran's profession and detective are marked.
After reading the introduction on the note, Li Tianran swallowed his saliva and looked at Sun Yufan with palpitations, only then did he understand why Sun Yufan didn't let him read his note, if he forcibly read Sun Yufan's note just now, I'm afraid that now the two of them will be eliminated directly.
But Li Tianran stared at Sun Yufan in fear, and fell into deep thought, which of these seven professions would Sun Yufan be.
Sun Yufan also seemed to understand Li Tianran's concern, patted Li Tianran's shoulder, then firmly raised his index finger, and then waved his hand and nodded.
Li Tianran instantly understood Sun Yufan's intentions, if he didn't understand it wrong, he raised his finger to indicate the first profession, but he waved his hand to show that he was not the first profession, that is, a murderer, and then nodded to reassure him.
Although Li Tianran understood that Sun Yufan was implying that he was not a murderer, could he really believe him?
The situation in front of him is not the time to take care of the friendship that was just established in the first two games, even if Sun Yufan is deceiving himself now, he can completely understand it, after all, in the face of life and death, no matter how big the deception is, it seems insignificant.
But for some reason, looking at Sun Yufan's determined gaze, Li Tianran almost preferred to believe that Sun Yufan did not deceive himself, and was determined not to doubt Sun Yufan anymore, the only curiosity left was to know what his profession would be, so as to facilitate the next detective.
Of course, Li Tianran couldn't hear the answer directly from Sun Yufan's mouth, and when he thought about it, his brain suddenly went abrupt, didn't the previous rules of the game say that he couldn't reveal his profession?
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that there are still many potential settings for this game, although Sun Yufan did not tell himself what his profession was, but he could hint at himself from the side and clear his suspicions, but this kind of proof, if the other party does not trust him very much, he can't believe it at all.
Li Tianran breathed a sigh of relief and made the same action as Sun Yufan.
"Hmm."
Sun Yufan didn't seem to suspect that Li Tianran was lying.
"Let's go, if it's right, there should be our respective rooms over there, and now all we should do is take the money and go to the grocery store to buy some props that we might use."
Sun Yufan pointed to the corridor where everyone walked before.
"Hmmm......"
Li Tianran agreed, and the two left the hall.
As he passed through the corridor, Li Tianran said to himself: "Who designed this game, and what is the meaning of its existence?" Is it like it is shown on TV, just for those powerful and wealthy high society, idle and boring, looking for excitement, so such a place was established? ”
Although he knows that it doesn't make sense, this is the only reasonable explanation that he can accept, but what about the monsters recorded in Lu's diary, as far as his own experience is concerned, how to explain the big-headed ghost baby in the second level, it is not something that should exist in this world.
"This is my room, ouch, your room is on the other side."
Sun Yufan pointed his thumb behind his back, and he was very happy to learn that the room between himself and Li Tianran was the door.
It wasn't until Sun Yufan talked to him that Li Tianran came back to his senses and slapped his big face vigorously: "It's not the time to think about those things in front of you, if you want to investigate those things, at least you have to clear all the games alive." ”
Li Tianran couldn't control the force of those two slaps, and two palm prints immediately appeared on his face.
"What's wrong with you, absent-minded, and, don't you hurt?"
Sun Yufan looked at the two slap prints on Li Tianran's face, and he felt pain.
"Ah...... It hurts ......."
Li Tianran hurriedly rubbed his mouth that had just been slapped twice by himself.
As he passed through the corridor, Li Tianran was too focused on thinking about other things and didn't notice the overall appearance of the corridor.
"It's already in my room."
Li Tianran glanced at the door of the room, and his name was indeed pasted.
Looking back, Li Tianran took a closer look at the corridor, there was nothing special, the corridor was very long, almost the same as the corridor of a normal hotel, the walls were painted with white paint, clean and neat, some European-style wall lamps looked more exquisite under the embellishment, and the ground was covered with the entire red carpet.
The only thing that feels incongruous is that the distance between the room door and the room door is too far, and it stands to reason that the distance between the doors of the same row in a normal hotel is not too far, and the distance between the doors here is four or five times larger.
1,2,3,4,5……
Li Tianran walked again and counted it, including his own room, a total of 11 rooms, and the door of each room was labeled with a name like his own and Sun Yufan's room, this should be the players at the table just now, because there are also Zhang Quan and Liu Feng who helped him, this should be certain, after all, there can be no other people here.
Li Tianran recalled, if he remembers correctly, there should have been 12 people at the table before, but why is this a room for 11 people, so there is also a room for one person?
Suddenly, Li Tianran thought of the words on the note, the grocery store, the worse should be the grocery store, the note clearly stated that the room of the grocery store is independent, so it should be very different from the room of the other eleven people, but if this is the case, in this ordinary corridor, the grocery store should be more conspicuous and prominent, why didn't you see anything.
When Li Tianran was full of doubts, Sun Yufan had already opened his door.
"Wow~"
The moment he opened the door, Sun Yufan couldn't help but exclaim, the space in the room was huge, more five-star than those five-star hotels, and it should be four or five hundred square meters, so the distance between the doors was widened.
The decoration of the room is also extremely luxurious, the large curved screen LCD TV is hung on the roof, but at the moment there is no mood to pay attention, the central air conditioning is whirring, the VR simulation game is fully equipped, the room also comes with a variety of fitness equipment, beds, chairs, tables and stools, not to mention how advanced, this is simply an emperor-like treatment, people can't help but want to relax after seeing it.
Sun Yufan obviously couldn't wait, and seemed to have forgotten the current grim form, urging Li Tianran to hurry back to his room, at least take a good shower, take a little rest, and then go to the grocery store together.
In fact, Li Tianran was almost tired and climbed down, he had not rested since he left Tianhai City and returned to Haihuang County, and even the meal was only half of the steak just now, and his physical strength was already overdrawn, so Li Tianran did not hesitate, and after Sun Yufan walked into his door, he pushed open his door and wanted to rest for a while.
Li Tianran pushed open the door and found that the furnishings in the room were exactly the same as Sun Yufan's room, but there was no time to rest, Li Tianran was attracted by the currency at the bedside and studied the currency that could be used to buy props.
After roughly counting, the currency should be about 200,000, not real paper money, just currency issued in the form of cards, which should only be used to buy props in the grocery store, but where is the grocery store?
Li Tianran suddenly felt like his entire back was pricked by needles at this moment, his whole body was stiff and sore, and he fell down directly when he saw the bed in front of him.
Comfortable, the moment he lay down, Li Tianran never imagined that he could be so satisfied just lying on a bed, at that moment, sleepiness swept over his body, and he really wanted to sleep directly with his head covered.
"Bang Bang ......"
Li Tianran patted himself again, now is not the time to doze off comfortably, in case he really falls asleep, he doesn't know when he will wake up, not to mention that he is a detective, he must find out the real murderer within 70 hours, although he has not killed anyone.
In fact, the murderer is the most difficult of the seven professions, if you don't have a strong enough psychology, let alone killing, it's difficult to even kill chickens, but if you don't kill people, you will be killed, it is estimated that even if you are a monk now, it is only a matter of time before you kill someone, and you can't be discovered by anyone.
Thinking about it, Li Tianran's sleepiness was even heavier, and he almost fell asleep.
"Otherwise, just take a shower!"
Li Tianran loves to take a bath, and when he saw the bathtub, he still couldn't control his mood of wanting to relax, and he was already soaked in the water after three plus five divided by two.
"Puff ......"
There was a splash of water in the bathtub, Li Tianran was already trapped in it and couldn't extricate himself, his face was suddenly filled with a sense of satisfaction, and then he let out a satisfied "oh", which was very ecstatic.
"That way, you don't have to worry about falling asleep, and you can spend the least amount of time to get the most relaxation."
Li Tianran picked up a handful of water and splashed it on his face.
