"Double kill? That's what he said then? ”

Faced with Chris's question, Liang Jingmo just nodded expressionlessly. His fists clenched, hidden behind him, trying to hide the still-unlost anxiety in his heart. He did a good job and no one noticed that.

Xiang Nanxing, who was on the side, frowned after listening to him explain the situation, and thought silently.

"To be honest, I really don't know much about sports, and I've seen some of them because I'm trying to be strong." Liang Jingmo shrugged, "He deliberately waited until the filming equipment and pickups stopped working before telling me, obviously to avoid his companion who was still in the lounge opposite, and to give me some hints." It's just that he said it so vaguely, and I really can't decipher it with my meager knowledge of baseball games. ”

"But why is he the only one who treats you so favorably?" Chris looked at him suspiciously.

Liang Jingmo smiled. "Even if he has special preferential treatment for anyone, that person is not me." As he spoke, he slowly turned his head to look at the person next to him: "This 'Abyss' host told me that he once fought with you and was full of interest, and he has been regretting that he didn't give it his all at the beginning. He had planned to have a serious confrontation even if he disobeyed the order if he ran into him again, but unfortunately, he was assigned to me in the end. So if you finish here, there will be no chance for his wish to come true. 'These few words probably don't change the result, but at least they make me feel how hard I've tried' - these are his exact words, and they sound rather willful, right? ”

"Hmm."

Although he was stared at by Chris with a very surprised gaze, Xiang Nanxing finally just responded nonchalantly. Xu Wen's style of acting has also been taught by him, such as when the equipment was distributed in the preliminaries, he can coldly come to his ear and say a word of advice, even if he disobeys the order and reveals some rumors, it is not incomprehensible.

But the question is, what exactly does the "double kill" here represent?

"The first thing that is certain is that this does not mean literal joint outs." Xiang Nanxing said, "Otherwise, from Xu Wen's standpoint, there is no need to release water at all." All he had to do was win his game. We play in teams, and according to the rules, when the team's total score becomes 3-0, no matter who else does not play, they will eventually be counted as losers and will be eliminated together. The reason why he wants to take the initiative to admit defeat is actually to make this game continue. ”

"So to put it bluntly, the other party's boss's plan is to force out the people behind, maybe there are any personal grievances to be resolved." Liang Jingmo grabbed his hair, "Speaking of which, the 'boss' in his mouth should refer to Huang Lao, right?" ”

"I'm thinking about that too." Xiang Nanxing nodded, "Judging from their appearance in the preliminaries, Huang Lao, who walked in the middle, seems to be really the style of a boss. But thinking about it later, Xu Wen was ranked fourth in the host, but Huang Lao clearly said when he introduced himself to us before that he was ranked sixth, and when it came to ranking, he was under Xu Wen...... No, it's even below you! ”

He turned to the "judge" Danqing, who had been silent next to him: "If I'm not mistaken, you're ranked fifth, right?" ”

Danqing shrugged his shoulders and looked indifferent: "Is this matter important?" ”

Xiang Nanxing looked at him deeply, as if he wanted to see something else on his face. After a moment, he nodded and turned his face away. "Okay, even if it's Huang Lao." He decided not to dwell too much on the issue, "Now let's go back to the hint of 'double kill'. Judging from Xu Wen's last approach, Huang Lao should have hoped that the game could continue, so he chose to 'escort the players in the third game to base'. ”

"Escort to base?" Liang Jingmo was puzzled.

"I know that." Chris preemptively replied, "Keeping to base means that when a pitcher is not sure about the current hitter, in order to avoid losing points, he will deliberately send the batter to first base by throwing four bad balls or other mistakes in a row. Although at first glance, this man is equivalent to taking a first base hit for nothing, but this situation is very disadvantageous for the whole team, because the next batter on the court may not be able to hit the ball thrown by the pitcher, and it is not good that he will end up being knocked out in place of the previous hitter. ”

"Worse yet, the relatively weak hitter could hit a weaker infield ball so that the defender could immediately pass the ball to the basemen and kick the base-running attacker out with a touch. Although in this case, there are some attackers who are strong enough to rely on the advantage of speed and agility to avoid touches, but after all, they are only a minority. ”

"So in general, when the offensive guy gets on base, it's not about him, it's just a matter of how to rush forward, and his success depends on his speed and judgment on the one hand, and the support of his teammates in the hitting area on the other."

He pointed to Liang Jingmo next to him: "So from this point of view, this person is probably 'escorted to the base', right?" Because I felt that it was difficult to deal with, I simply skipped him and planned to play against a weaker opponent in the next game to secure the victory......"

"But it doesn't make sense." Liang Jingmo said, "I kind of understand a little bit of the rules." But according to the baseball rules you mentioned, pitchers don't make substitutions as hitters hit base, so it makes sense to avoid strong players. But the problem is that the rules of this baseball game are different from the rules of our game. ”

He explained: "You see, only one person can play in each round, and the same person cannot play repeatedly, and this constraint is also true for the host's side. Even if Xu Wen deliberately admits defeat and escorts me away, he can only leave the arena next, and he can't stay to deal with the next challenger, right? ”

"And just like I said, the rules of the game this time are one win and one loss, and the five people here advance and retreat together." He continued, "So where does the word 'double' come from? I'm safe on base, but in terms of collateral, it's no different from Chris, who lost the game, right? ”

"The 'double' here should just be an imaginary number, right? The only thing I use here is to knock out multiple people at the same time, which means kicking us all out. Chris seemed to have an understanding, "What if it is simply understood as 'the boss of the other party intends to knock us out of the game with his own hands'?" ”

"If that's just the case, he simply doesn't let Xu Wen play, and just plays the third game himself."

Xiang Nanxing denied Chris's inference, but he himself was in distress. "Oh, no. I can't think of what this guy is trying to say. He grabbed his hair and looked angry.

"In that case, don't think about it so much and just start the next game."

A voice that was so calm that it was almost cold sounded behind him, and everyone turned around in unison, knowing that it was the masked man who had not spoken. "In that case, you don't have to play this kind of drama in front of me." He added.

Xiang Nanxing slowly lowered his hands and combed his somewhat messy hair neatly. The panicked expression on his face faded quickly, and finally he just looked straight at the masked man, as if he wanted to look all the way into the other's heart from the eyes that appeared on the mask.

He had been analyzing it just now, and he had been hoping that this person would choose to do something. But I didn't expect that in the end, I had to go to this step of tearing my face.

"You've already thought of something, right?" He simply went straight to the showdown.

"Why do you ask?" He asked rhetorically.

"I can see it." Xiang Nanxing said quietly, "Just when Liang Jingmo was halfway through speaking, I noticed that you had turned your head to look to the side, as if you were distracted thinking about something. At that time, you already thought of something, you don't even need the prompts behind, just confirm that Xu Wen's admission of defeat is Huang Lao's arrangement. This alone is enough for you to see the other party's intentions, but I don't know if you look down on us or have other hidden feelings, and you are always unwilling to communicate with us. ”

He raised his voice slightly: "I know, you are the most special one in this White Night Festival, you are the person who participated in the ultra-high-level so-called 'Stealing the Country' game before, we are just hitchhiking and want to return to the civilized world, and you are probably still thinking about relying on this opportunity to make a comeback." It may seem to you that our thinking and efforts are just petty fights, but please be clear about one thing, now the five of us are in the same boat! If we lose, you won't even have a chance to play, just stay with us on this hopeless island for the rest of your life! ”

Looking at the masked man who was unmoved no matter what he said, for some reason, Xiang Nanxing suddenly felt a nameless fire in his heart. The pent-up anger finally erupted, and before the others could react, he rushed forward, grabbed the masked man by the collar, and slammed his forehead on the cold mask.

"And don't forget, I have some personal accounts to settle with you." He lowered his voice and said fiercely, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been involved in these things at all!" If it weren't for you, I would be studying my university and living a peaceful life right now, instead of participating in some messy so-called games like I am now! ”

"Hey, you let go first!" Liang Jingmo on the side just wanted to come over to play a round, but when he saw Gu Ren, he suddenly struggled slightly. He just shook his shoulders, raised his arms, and pushed Xiang Nanxing back a few steps with just the right amount of force.

"You're right."

He himself took a step back and sat down peacefully in his seat with his collar straightened. "I owe you a lot. So, we have to win, and you have to survive, so that you have a chance to get this account back from me. "And now it's not me who decides whether we can win, it's you." ”

"But this tip just now ......"

"The hint itself has nothing to do with the next round." The masked man said firmly, "Xu Wen is a professional host, and he will not do such a thing as revealing game secrets." He wanted to say something else. But that's much easier to win if you don't know. ”

"So you know what it is." Xiang Nanxing looked at him coldly.

However, the Masked Man had no interest in continuing the conversation with him.

"Judge, we've been on hiatus for so long, it's time to let the game continue." He turned to Danqing next to him and said, "Now, please show the game in the last bag." ”

He seemed to be saying something to Xiang Nanxing, and also seemed to be talking to himself.

"Anyway, just win."
