The truth of the game

For the vast majority of people, the first reaction to watching that video was shock. If you have some understanding of "Di Ting" Shao Nancheng, this surprise will be more direct.

One player, against a mid-level host who was known for his observance, ended up with an overwhelming 11-game winning streak – and it was a player's victory. Shao Nancheng, nicknamed "Di Ting", seemed to have bumped into an iron block in the process, and there was nothing he could do, no matter how he tried to make a move, or took various opportunities to force out the other party's flaws, this player called Chi Shangxuan was invulnerable and didn't give him any information at all.

On the other hand, although Shao Nancheng used several ways to mislead the other party's judgment, Chi Shangxuan was able to hit the right option every time as if he had opened a hanging, which made Shao Nancheng passive all the way until he finally failed completely.

Although in the second half of that game, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Shao Nancheng had made a lot of mistakes, so that before Chi Shangxuan could do anything, he himself was defeated and had no power to fight back. But this is completely understandable, even if it is the host, it is still human. Being defeated head-on by an unexpected opponent in the field you are best at will inevitably cause some changes in anyone's mentality. Although the later games did not directly reflect Chi Shangxuan's toughness like the previous ones, Shao Nancheng's abnormal performance also reflected the strength of the opponent from the side.

Everything is tightly knit, and for any player who treats it as a reference material, this video is valuable information, which makes Chi Shangxuan have already established a distinctive image before he appears. On the one hand, he is very good at observing others, and on the other hand, he does not show his emotions at all, like a lump of iron.

For Liang Jingmo, this video has been foreshadowed even before. Before he came to this hut in the forest, he once met Shao Nancheng himself on the road. Although the two did not exchange names at that time, because of this, Liang Jingmo paid more attention to observing each other's characteristics. He knew that Shao Nancheng himself was talented in observing others and hiding himself, so when he saw him being unilaterally suppressed by Chi Shangxuan, this feeling would be even stronger.

Shao Nancheng even kindly reminded him at that time that the opponent he would meet next was not a person, "it was just a piece of iron".

"It's all fake." Liang Jingmo said, "If you believe everything preconceivedly, you will avoid falling into a situation of mutual observation with Chi Shangxuan, and you will not find out that the other party is actually not so strong." Unfortunately, I was a skeptical person from the beginning, and I really liked to challenge the limits set on me. ”

He spoke slowly, with an undisguised sense of self-satisfaction in his words.

"On the other hand, it makes a host spend so much effort to convince people of this, because as long as they dare to meet it head-on, they may find that the other party is not as strong as they appear." "And that's what I did, and I realized that the sense of disobedience that I felt as if I had been manipulated wasn't my delusion." ”

"It's all fake, it's a scene where the host and the players join forces."

As soon as his words fell, Danqing naturally continued: "And Chi Shangxuan is just a pawn in this plan." He does have a natural advantage in hiding his emotions and fits the bill. Because his facial muscles are already stiffer than ordinary people, although he can't be called paralyzed, unless it is a very strong emotion, people can see some clues from his face. ”

"It's just that he doesn't have the ability to see through his opponent like in the video." Liang Jingmo continued, "His observation posture is really just a gesture, and I finally confirmed this after looking at him face to face." If he hadn't been emotional, it would have been hard to confirm what he had seen, but unfortunately I had a face to face with someone with more perceptiveness, and I will never forget that feeling for the rest of my life. And Chi Shangxuan, a person, didn't give me such oppressive power at all. ”

"Are you talking about Shao Nancheng?" Danqing asked.

"Someone stronger than Shao Nancheng." Liang Jingmo replied.

"I think so." Danqing nodded, although the other party couldn't see it.

"All in all, after confirming this, and looking back at what Shao Nancheng appeared in front of me before, it is not difficult to find that this was actually premeditated for a long time. In order to enrich the content of the video, he had to appear in front of me and let me feel first-hand what he was like as a reference. In other words, he himself is nothing more than a pawn. In terms of the host's self-esteem, let him be willing...... Or if you are unwilling to have to be this pawn, the planner must be a higher level than him. ”

"So you doubted me at the time." Danqing smiled.

"Of course I'm suspicious of you, because these setups are pointless if it weren't for the video viewing session, which is in your game." Liang Jingmo also smiled, "But soon I found out that you probably didn't know about it." As a host, you're just doing your job. Because if you're going to be involved in this, you won't be in such a roundabout way in the first place. ”

"What will happen to me?"

"You'll come directly." Liang Jingmo said with a straight face, "Just like you did just now, walk in front of me head-on and test my guts." You are the kind of dignified type, not the kind of scheming host, if it weren't for this purity, you wouldn't have the ability and status you have today. ”

Danqing nodded: "That's right." ”

"So when you are excluded, the whole picture is a lot clearer." Liang Jingmo said, "What happens here is actually a big and a small, two nested games. Chi Shangxuan and I are playing the 'Breaking Bad', a player-versus-type game hosted by you, but the two of us, including you, are actually deeply trapped in another situation equivalent to a 'trial-type' game, which is aimed at not only me, but also Chi Shangxuan, and maybe even ...... And you. ”

"You don't have to try to pull me into the water, because I know very well what is going on." Danqing said lightly, "If it's really a trial game, the target will never be those hosts who don't participate in the game, so for me, just complete my hosting work." The player's business, of course, is left to the player to struggle for himself. ”

Danqing was silent for a while, and suddenly let out a chuckle.

"You're lying again." Liang Jingmo smiled, "But every time you lie, you will deliberately leave a hint, just wait to see if there will be smart people to follow." Unfortunately, I'm such a smart person. ”

He wrenched his hands and said, "You gave me two hints, according to what you just said, and also gave Chi Shangxuan on the opposite side once, on average, you will leak a little information to the player in one round." Of course, this is not a 'breach of the game', because in your unique logic, the purpose of closing the helpless power gap between the two sides is to make the game finally present a more fair result. It's just that from that point of view, you're not the kind of 'host who doesn't participate in the game', right? ”

He shrugged his shoulders and continued: "But I'm relieved to hear your words, it turns out that you haven't thought about this aspect at all. Just imagine, if the game you host actually completely falls into the game set by the opponent, the victory or defeat is in the control of others in the morning, and you, the host who is used to partially interfering in the process of the game and leveling the power gap, has no idea about it, and still does the work of his own judgment as usual. Isn't this a joke when it gets out at the end? From this point of view, Shao Nancheng, who is ranked twenty-one, is even more unlikely to be the mastermind, the real mastermind, you probably already know it in your heart. ”

From Liang Jingmo's point of view, his understanding of the host's situation and the intricate relationship between them is extremely limited, and he can only analyze it according to common sense. "Judge" Danqing is the fifth-ranked high-ranking host, listening to what Qiu Banxia usually says, and then thinking back to Huang Lao, who is ranked sixth, it can be seen that when you get to this serial number, it can be regarded as a monster. Even if Danqing hasn't been visible so far, it's only because he doesn't need to target players at all.

However, this plan also counts such a host into it. This shows that the planner is not inferior to him in ability, or at least thinks that he is not inferior to the fifth-place host, so that the scope can be narrowed down to the top few hosts. Liang Jingmo guessed that this person's ranking would not exceed the top ten at most.

And in this game, once the planner succeeds in achieving the goal, Danqing will inevitably be humiliated even if he does not suffer losses. Either there is a personal grudge against them, or someone who is below it but thinks very highly of himself, and wants to use this to declare the fact that he is stronger.

Liang Jingmo's analysis can only end here, even if he has the right idea, the information he has is not enough to support him to find a specific person. But he knew that Danqing was different, he didn't even need to put it bluntly, just mentioning it, let the latter start thinking about this, I'm afraid the answer is already coming out.

In fact, just before Liang Jingmo put forward these words, Danqing already had a basically certain candidate in his heart.

At this point, the two fell into a brief silence. After a while, it was Danqing who spoke first.

"I can understand the idea that you're trying to pull me into the water to fight back." "But the rules are absolute." No matter where 'Breaking Bad' is in this game, once the game starts, it must follow the rules until the winner is decided. ”

"That'...... And what about after it has been decided? Liang Jingmo said.

"That's another game."

Danqing waved his hand: "Good luck." ”

There was a small gray patch in his palm, but it was too deep in the night for anyone to see. Under the cover of night, the object was thrown with a wave of the hand and snapped to a nearby tree.
