Chapter 176: The Road to Survival: Secret Ballot
"Can't you understand people? If you don't send a corpse out, the game fails, and we're all going to die here! Xiahou Quan stared at his copper-bell-like eyes, and roared coldly at Tang Nuo.
Although Tang Nuo was tall, his personality was not so tough, and he only turned a deaf ear to Xiahou Quan's accusations, and patiently explained: "Although that guy who claims to be the manager asks us to kill one person every day and then teleport the corpse out, we can also teleport the living." We can do what he said first, send someone out to explore the truth, and then find a way to save everyone. ”
Not only Xiahou Quan, but everyone's eyes lit up after hearing it, thinking that what Tang Nuo said was not unreasonable.
Send a living person out, maybe you can directly subdue the so-called manager, and then let everyone go.
I pursed my lips, but I was skeptical of Donno's approach: since the administrator could arrest everyone without knowing it, his mana must be much higher than everyone else, and it was almost impossible to kill him. In addition, I suspected that the manager was a person from Tianyimen, but the people from the Wu Gu Sect were also arrested, could it be that there is more than one person behind the scenes? Besides, it is unknown where the teleportation array will teleport people, and this plan is very risky.
However, I don't intend to say all the things in my heart, but I desperately hope that everyone will implement this plan, otherwise the first person they will kill is probably me.
In short, the key word of this plan is one word - bet! It's completely a dead horse as a live horse doctor, everyone survives if the bet wins, and if the bet doesn't win, you have to face the wrath of the mysterious manager.
"I'm for it." Xu Xia suddenly spoke, since everyone gathered in the hall, he had been silent.
"I'm in favor of it too." Xiao Ruohui followed suit, and several people immediately expressed their support.
Yan Keke had a bitter face and asked worriedly, "But who should we send?" ”
"I'll go!" Xiahou Quan clenched his fists and volunteered, "I'll go and kill that grandson, and then rescue everyone." ”
"Hmph, I can't trust anyone from the Witch Sect." Han Song snorted coldly, his voice sharp and mean.
Xiahou glared at him, and asked angrily, "Do you think you are better than me, or do we compare and match?" ”
Han Song was a little weak-hearted, he had never been the type to be good at fighting, he subconsciously took two steps back, and then retorted: "Even if I can't beat you, you are not the strongest, Zhang Chen is the champion of our Tianyi disciple solo competition!" ”
I was a little surprised that Zhang Chen only ranked fourth in the year-end assessment, but he was able to win the championship of the individual competition. It seems that the assessment of Tianyi is not completely ranked according to strength, but some comprehensive evaluations.
"I also think that Senior Brother Zhang Chen should be sent, he is stable and strong, who else can you be?" Xiao Ruohui looked at Zhang Chen and said.
"Hmph, then let's give it a try, whoever has the highest means will send whomever it is!" The people of the witch sect also shouted.
The two sides fell into a dispute over this, mainly from the perspective of their respective sects, the people of Tianyi Sect were more supportive of Zhang Chen, and those of the Wu Gu Sect were more supportive of Xiahou Quan.
At this time, Xu Xia suddenly spoke: "What you are fighting for may not be a good thing. Have you ever thought about what to do in case you fail?
What happens? ”
After Xu Xiayi's words, everyone stopped arguing, but seriously began to think about the consequences of failure. The worst outcome must be that Zhang Chen was killed by the administrators, and we were starved to death in the cave without water and food, which is not mentioned for the time being. What if the game still has to go on? For Tianyimen, Zhang Chen, who had lost the strongest combat power, still had four people, but if the Wu Gu Sect lost Xiahou Quan, wouldn't the remaining three people be slaughtered?
"In my opinion, let's vote by secret ballot, and whoever has the most votes will be sent." Xiahou Quan changed his previous state of volunteering and actually proposed a way to vote.
The proposal was immediately approved. Now there are only two mentalities, one is to fight hard, and directly send the strongest combat force to fight with the manager; One is to have a back hand and consider what happens if the plan fails. Therefore, the result of this vote is really hard to say, and it cannot simply be based on the number of sects.
I didn't think too much about it, if I could, I would rather vote for myself, but I knew that voting would be invalid, so I definitely believed in Zhang Chen more if I chose between Zhang Chen and Xiahou Quan.
Although everyone's mobile phones have been confiscated, the guys in their respective backpacks and bags are still there, and they must have been left by the administrators for us to kill each other. Zhang Chen took out a piece of paper from his bag, divided it into ten equal parts and distributed it to everyone, each person wrote a name on it, and then everyone sang the vote publicly.
After a short time, the final result statistics ended: Zhang Chen 7 votes, Xiahou Quan 2 votes, Chen Rong 1 vote.
With such a result, there is a little inevitability in the accident. I think it must be that the people from the Wu Gu Sect all voted for Zhang Chen, but the people from Tianyi Sect did not all vote for Xiahou Quan. Because they are currently in the advantage of numbers, they don't have to worry about the result of Zhang Chen's failure, so someone must have voted for their own people with the mentality of giving it a go.
But what's the deal with voting for me? I didn't vote for myself at all!
Others must have thought that I had voted for it, but I am well aware that there was one person who somehow voted for me.
I thought quietly, my wise eyes narrowed slightly like a deep pool of water.
Could it be that Zhang Chen voted for me? After all, he was the only one of them who knew me. But Zhang Chen himself was one of the candidates, if he wanted to go, he would vote for himself, and if he didn't want to go, he would vote for Xiahouquan, and there was no reason to vote for me at all.
Who will it be?
"Alright, it's decided, teleport me out tomorrow." Zhang Chen held the statistical results in his hand and said with a smile, making it impossible to tell whether he was willing or not.
"Can the teleportation array only be used once a day? After Senior Brother Zhang Chen goes out, can we continue to teleport others to help him? I opened my mouth and asked faintly.
"Wouldn't we all be able to leave, then?" Yan Keke said excitedly.
Xiao Ruohui said: "You can try, the previous teleportation array can't teleport outward, so we don't know." ”
Xu Xia poured a basin of cold water and said, "But the last person can't go out through this method." ”
I nodded, "That's right, and it's only a possibility, so don't get your hopes up." Maybe the teleportation array will fail after using it once a day, otherwise it will become a big loophole. ”
Yan Keke's expression instantly turned into disappointment, but Xiahou Quan said quite toughly: "No matter."
Whether you succeed or not, you have to give it a try, and the second one will teleport me out tomorrow! ”
If this method works, everyone will basically be able to get out, and the people of the Witch Gu Sect will no longer need to think about the consequences.
Seeing that everyone had no other opinions, the first day of collective discussion ended here, and what the future direction will be depends on what will happen to Zhang Chen after he is teleported.
I glanced at the clock on the stone wall, it was already 22 o'clock, although I don't know if this time is accurate, but according to the administrator, the stone door of the stone room will be closed at 0 o'clock, and if you don't want to sleep outside, you will have to go back to the stone room before then.
"Senior Sister Xiao, how did you get arrested?" I walked towards my stone room, deliberately took two quick steps, and caught up with Xiao Ruohui in front, among the few people who disappeared in Tianyimen, Xiao Ruohui was still relatively friendly.
Xiao Ruohui said: "We asked each other about this, but we all lost consciousness before leaving the sect, and then were taken captive to a cave. After clearing the last round of the game, the administrator opened the teleportation array for us, and as a result, we were teleported to this cave again. ”
From her answers, I got three important pieces of information: first, they were arrested before they left the Tianyi Gate headquarters, which further shows that the people behind the scenes are people from Tianyimen; The second is that after one round of play, we may not be released, but will move on to the next round of play. This is very similar to the situations in some movies, such as "Killing in Another Dimension" and "Listen to the Gods"; Third, the teleportation array can be controlled by the outside world.
Who the hell is so boring, is it just to satisfy his perverted desires?
"Did you ever think that the game would go on endlessly?" I asked.
Xiao Ruohui was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Didn't the manager say that this is the last round of the game?" ”
"Do you really believe him?"
Xiao Ruohui smiled bitterly: "What if you don't believe it, we are just fish on the chopping board." ”
"By the way, who were your opponents in the last round of the game? Is it also from the Witch Sect? ”
"It's not." Xiao Ruohui shook her head, "It's some small sects, and there are Youfang Daoists, and they are not all young people, the oldest is fifty years old, and their strength is about the same as ours." The only thing in common is that everyone is doing things in your province. ”
"That's ...... so"
I nodded thoughtfully, said goodbye to Xiao Ruohui, and walked towards my stone room. As I walked, I wondered about the similarities and differences between the two rounds of games, and I wondered if the manager's arrangement was intentional, or was it suspicious?
My stone chamber is number 7, which is in the back. When I passed by the stone room next door, I saw Yan Keke sitting on the bed in a daze, and I specially said hello to her. Who knew that Yan Keke's face changed, and he turned over and lay down directly, which was really inexplicable.
Then I carefully examined the stone door of the stone chamber, and I could see that it was controlled by a mechanism, and the material was very unusual, and it should be impossible to break it by brute force. But this is different from the rock at the entrance of the cave, there is no control mechanism at the entrance of the cave, it is just completely sealed.
As soon as 0:00 arrived, the mechanism opened on time, and the stone door slowly closed, and at the moment when the stone door was closed, I suddenly noticed that the copper ball in the room that was originally shining with a faint fluorescence was also extinguished at the same moment......
