Key tips
"It's not about choice, it's really a trust game."
When these words came out of Jing Xinshui's mouth, Xiang Nanxing almost couldn't believe his ears. After that brief self-introduction, the man remained silent, although he did not deliberately eliminate his breath as before, but as if he was not present. In the order in which the four cards were hidden, he held the camera in his hand and led the people to the elevator in turn, to a certain floor upstairs, and then turned back to the next one. He doesn't utter anything superfluous, other than simply calling out his name when he picks them up, and whispering the number the player is assigned to when he steps into the elevator.
If it weren't for the fact that there were only the two of them in the elevator now, if it weren't for the fact that this weak voice was so recognizable, Xiang Nanxing would almost have thought that he was hallucinating. He turned his head in surprise, but saw that Jing Xinshui was still holding the camera and pointing at the number of floors, and there was no emotion on his face, as if the golden sentence just now had nothing to do with him.
"Trust the game?" Xiang Nanxing asked tentatively, "Where does this statement come from?" ”
"Just remember. I've kindly sent a message to everyone that might come in handy. Jing Xinshui said lightly, "If you think that caring too much will affect your mentality, then I didn't say it." ”
There was a familiar arrogance in his voice, and Xiang Nanxing's heart moved slightly. However, just as he finished speaking, the elevator also stopped and the door opened. Jing Xinshui raised his finger forward, and the gesture was that he didn't want to say another word. Seeing him like this, Xiang Nanxing knew that it was impossible to get any hints here, which would only increase his troubles, and there were more important things to think about in front of him. So he simply took a deep breath, really put these doubts behind him for a while, and then took a step.
Step into this unpredictable game without looking back.
A few minutes ago, he thought he would be left out of the game. After all, no matter which two are sent on the other side, they are really high-level hosts, and they can only go all out and send the strongest lineup to fight. Among the four, Nangong Qian is the least good at this kind of game that requires calculation, and the first one is excluded. And Qiu Banxia, although he has never cooperated with them in a game, is recognized as the strongest among them. In terms of intelligence, she is not under Liang Jingmo, and she has more experience than the latter who has accumulated from being a host for a long time, and among the four, she is also the only one who can compete with her opponent in terms of force.
In this way, the remaining one place can only be produced between Xiang Nanxing and Liang Jingmo. Judging from past experience, Liang Jingmo is obviously better at dealing with this kind of wit-fighting game, and he can often use some unexpected tricks. On the other hand, Xiang Nanxing, although he has some advantages in physical ability and fighting, there is actually no difference at all in front of the host. If you really want to tear your face, it's also a one-hit takedown.
If it is sorted in this way, the ones who are eligible to participate in the game should be Qiu Banxia and Liang Jingmo. If Xiang Nanxing wants to participate, he has to work hard to squeeze Liang Jingmo down. However, when it came to the real candidate, Qiu Banxia made an unexpected decision.
"It's up to you to go this one." She said categorically, "Miss Nangong and I stay here." ”
Seeing the puzzled looks of the two opposites, she added: "This is not humility or retreat, but because this distribution is the most reasonable and can best cope with the various changes that may arise next." ”
"You've also noticed that the very matter of 'selection to participate in the war' may be a trap. If we fight each other for the right to participate in the war, it is equivalent to falling into the divisive scheme before the game officially begins, and it will be difficult for us to cooperate without guilt, no matter which two people are selected in the end. ”
"Although I don't think we will fall for this simple strategy, even if we don't talk about it, there are other hidden concerns in this matter." She said, "Although players can't attack each other under the rules set by Xu Wen, don't forget that he also said that it was for players who participated in the 'control freak' game!" As for the people who remained, he didn't mention it at all. ”
Xiang Nanxing's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but look at the three hosts opposite. And Liang Jingmo's face also became solemn.
Indeed, just now their attention was so attracted by the game that Xu Wen described that they ignored things outside of the game. "The other party will choose two hosts to participate in the game", in other words, "the other party will leave one of the hosts here". If you participate in the game in the middle of the summer, the one who will stay here will only be one of the ordinary people Xiang Nanxing and Liang Jingmo, plus Nangong Qian, who can't use sniping ability indoors and has very poor hand-to-hand combat ability.
For those who can't participate in the game, it's completely unknown what will happen next. Xu Wen didn't say anything about this part, and naturally he didn't promise to protect the people who stayed here, in this case, if the host on the opposite side made a move, the consequences would be unimaginable. So considering this possibility, what is left can only be autumn and half summer. In addition to self-preservation, she can also free up her hands to protect Nangong Qian. And Xiang Nanxing and Liang Jingmo, who participated in the competition, can at least hope for the protection of Jing Xinshui, the mysterious trainee host, or hope that the rules in Xu Wen's mouth can really protect the two of them.
Although the absence of autumn and summer will make it more difficult to win, it is better than leaving two people down to die.
After the candidates were decided, the two drew the cards neatly. Xiang Nanxing drew a "Q", and then Liang Jingmo also drew a "J". Both of them are small cards, but because Xu Wen keeps the meaning of the cards completely secret, no matter what is drawn at this stage, it is the same, and they simply don't think about the size of the cards, and wait for the game to start with peace of mind.
After a brief discussion, the opposite side sent out two people, "Possum" Twelve and "Lynx" Kara. After the first two draw, they turned over the remaining cards directly and took one each, Xiang Nanxing saw that Kara took the "K", and finally the largest "A" left was obtained by Twelve.
Once the identity is confirmed, the game officially begins. Jing Xinshui first took Twelve to the elevator on the side of the hall, and he returned two minutes later and took Kara with him.
At this point, Nanxing and Liang Jingmo glanced at each other, thinking that the order of entry was probably determined by the size of the cards.
However, when Jing Xinshui came back again, he took away Liang Jingmo, the smallest player, and the last one was Xiang Nanxing. Then, in the elevator, he said the above sentence to the latter.
"It's a trust game."
Xiang Nanxing muttered to himself, thought about it and shook his head, "What does that guy mean?" ”
The point of confusion is not limited to this sentence. Even if Jing Xinshui didn't say anything, the meaning of those cards was enough for him to think about it for a while. Why are the first to be taken away by the highest ace and king in the casino, but the other two are reversed?
Also, do these four cards correspond to the position of each person's assigned number in the password? Or does it represent the size relationship between numbers? What does it have to do with the floor everyone is on when they start the game?
"There are too many mysteries, too little information, and we can only take one step at a time."
Xiang Nanxing's gaze fell on the screen in his hand, thinking about whether to click the virtual button on it. This should be the "test machine" in Xu Wen's mouth, he thought to himself. It's about a meter tall and looks like the kind of vertical touchscreen that is common in government office halls and banks, but it's much simpler. In the center of the screen are four small boxes side by side to display the entered numbers, and on top of that there is a long box, presumably for displaying the feedback results. The ten Arabic numeral buttons from zero to nine at the bottom of the box are neatly arranged in two rows, and there are two buttons on the right: "Delete" and "Confirm", the whole interface is clear at a glance, and it is a completely foolish operation. Xiang Nanxing tried it, and sure enough, he only reacted when he pressed it with the front of his finger, although there was no limit to what kind of finger it was, but it seemed that the "fingerprint recognition" in Xu Wen's mouth should be true.
What's next?
It took Xiang Nanxing about ten minutes to find it from the pile of desks, but when he stood in front of it, he hesitated, thinking about whether he should start testing the numbers as soon as possible, or write down the location first, and then try to meet Liang Jingmo elsewhere before thinking about it.
Rationally, the latter approach is naturally better. If two people act together and test the numbers together in front of the machine, the results of the latter test can overwrite the previous person, so that there is less information exposed to the enemy. And he should also listen to what the numbers assigned by Liang Jingmo are, so that he can bypass it and try other numbers directly during the first test, which is more efficient.
But this rational consideration is only limited to when no one disturbs them.
"It's time to come out, too." Xiang Nanxing's eyes stared at the screen, and he said in a deep voice, "The sneaky look is really ugly." ”
No one answered, and it looked like he was just talking to himself. But after a few quiet seconds, there was a rustling sound not far behind Xiang Nanxing. A head slowly poked out from the top of the compartment barrier, then took a step to the side, fully visible.
"You didn't look this way at all, but you could spot me?" The man also seemed a little surprised, "Interesting, it seems that those rumors are true, I underestimated you." ”
"You didn't underestimate me. With my ability, I really can't find the host who is hiding with all his might. It's just that I'm thinking that since the game has been around for so long, it's not surprising that anyone has found this side - so I'll ask for a tentative one from time to time, and that's it. ”
Xiang Nanxing slowly turned around and looked at the man who suddenly appeared.
"I didn't expect things to go so well."
"The idea is interesting and the mouth is good. Whether it's true or not, it's commendable courage to dare to provoke me like this. ”
The man shrugged his shoulders and looked relaxed, as if he had no shame about being put on the table.
"It's a pity that you have one of your biggest weaknesses." He said.
What is it - Xiang Nanxing just wanted to speak, but suddenly felt a strong wind blowing in his face. Before he could close his eyes, he found that his vision was completely occupied by something sudden!
It's fingers! He thought in horror.
A pair of slender fingers were like the sharp claws of a fierce lynx, hanging less than half a centimeter in front of Xiang Nanxing's eyes, and the fingertips could touch the eyelashes, and a little further they would pierce the iris and penetrate the brain. Although the movement stopped, the cold killing intent at the tip was transmitted through this thin layer of air, piercing into Xiang Nanxing's consciousness, as sharp as a real blade.
"It's 'short-lived.'" He said lightly.
