Take a different path
"So, he was really lucky when he changed the numbers." Liang Jingmo smiled bitterly, "We met a madman." β
Xiang Nanxing nodded wordlessly, his eyes fixed on the "2A1B" displayed on the screen.
Just now, Liang Jingmo followed his advice and tried the array "1234" again with his testing rights, and the result was just as Xiang Nanxing had predicted before. Instead of changing the numbers to those that have been confirmed to be safe numbers that are not passwords, the other party directly chooses to try their luck in the combination of the four known to contain two correct numbers, which of course carries the risk of being out, but once successful, it will undoubtedly get additional pleasure.
"But it's a good thing for us. Great thing. He said excitedly, "Not only is the number correct, but even the position is right, I guess they didn't expect it to be so smooth." That way, the position of my number is determined. β
The number held by Xiang Nanxing is "7", which is the only password number that is not in this array at the moment. Although they had never tested the position of the hole card in order not to reveal it, in the last round of testing they had ruled out the number "3" in the third place, in other words, the "3" was the "B" in the current "2A1B" result, and the remaining "1", "2", and "4" contained the two cipher numbers in the correct position. In this way, the third digit can only be "7".
Now there is only one last step left for them to come up with the password, and then they just need to take out a random number in "1234", combine it with other numbers that have been confirmed incorrectly, test it once, and the final password will be revealed.
"It's finally a bit of a step ahead." Liang Jingmo also nodded.
I guess the opponent didn't expect his approach to be seen through, he thought to himself. Although he kept saying that he wanted to focus on the game itself, Xiang Nanxing's behavior would obviously add a lot of points to his side in the eyes of the neutrals. You must know that it takes a lot of courage to choose to test "1234" again, and the bet is on whether he really understands the other party's thoughts, once he misses, it is equivalent to wasting a test opportunity, and it will be difficult to find a new password. Xiang Nanxing's performance just now shows that he not only has amazing insight, but also has the same strong self-confidence, and he is convinced of his hunch.
And as Liang Jingmo said, after this gambling guess, they have taken a big step forward on the road to cracking the code.
It's just that they are more convinced that the enemy they are facing this time is some guys who don't play cards according to common sense.
"Even if they haven't operated on this machine, there's a maximum of five test chances left." Liang Jingmo muttered, "In the case that three of the numbers have been determined, all that remains to do is to find the remaining password digits from the other six numbers, and adjust the position to find the correct order." If you're lucky, maybe two or three times will suffice, and don't forget, we've left the '0168' test result on the previous floor, which would be a big hint if someone over there has a '1'. β
"But what's even more troubling is that they probably don't want to go down the usual path of 'test array-guess password' at all."
He pointed at Xiang Nanxing: "If that's the case, the most important thing is to protect your 'password' in the next meeting, you know what I mean?" β
Xiang Nanxing nodded, but what appeared in his mind was Xu Wen's face. This is the guy who is the best at observing people's hearts that Xiang Nanxing has ever encountered, although it is not the enemy they have to face at this moment, but it is obvious that the two hosts on the opposite side have such an idea. Instead of searching for a password through test after test, they want to employ all sorts of psychic battles to find out directly from the player's side, and if they succeed, it will be a landslide victory, which will undoubtedly gain the support of the neutrals.
This would explain why the presenters are very low-key most of the time and hardly appear in front of them. "Possum" Twelve simply waited in place, with no intention of taking advantage of the first move or forcing the player, and "Lynx" Kara only used various disruptive psychological tactics after being lured into appearing, and did not make any further moves. They wait until the player has enough information to be one step away from figuring out the password.
And now is the moment when they are most likely to appear. Compared with Liang Jingmo, whose numbers have basically been locked, the "7" held by Xiang Nanxing is undoubtedly more precious information, and it can even be said that the key to victory or defeat depends on whether he can keep this secret in front of the host.
But Xiang Nanxing knew that this was not enough. Even if the number is kept, the remaining number of tests will be enough for the other party to find the password.
"Looks like we'll have to take a trip down there." He muttered to himself.
"That's right. In order to slow them down, we'll have to change the numbers once. And I don't feel at ease if I don't use up the rest of the right to amend. Liang Jingmo nodded, "So, good luck." β
Sensing another meaning of the other party's last sentence, Xiang Nanxing was stunned and asked, "You don't plan to go together?" β
"Come to think of it, it's significantly more efficient to split up in this situation." Liang Jingmo said, "One to find the last password, the other to consume the last right to change, and then meet in front of the password door, this is the safest and most efficient way." Don't forget, our 'National Bulletin' is time-limited and too much time has been wasted. β
Xiang Nanxing was silent. Liang Jingmo's final point was focused on "time limit", but he heard that the "safety" in front was what he really wanted to say. It can be seen that since he discovered the host's strategy, he has been very nervous, and he is also very afraid of the enemy's observation ability, and he is always on guard against being directly stolen and defeated. At this time, he suggested that the two go their separate ways, following the principle of "not putting all your eggs in the same basket" in economics. In this way, the one who goes to change the number does not know the password and therefore does not know the correct position of the "3"; And the person in charge of solving the last step, although he can get the current password, does not know the number after the companion has changed. The two of them can only finalize the password after meeting at the password door, and even if one of them is found out by the host before that, they will not lose the game on the spot.
But in Xiang Nanxing's view, this level of worry is a bit too much. Under the rules of this game, it is difficult to use threats of force and other means to be effective, and it is actually very difficult to obtain information from others by relying on observation alone, and even a very small number of elites in the host can do it. And after experiencing so many games, the two are no longer what they used to be, Liang Jingmo doesn't care about it, Xiang Nanxing is no longer the young man who was easy to see through back then.
Not to mention, in the short meeting just now, "Lynx" Kara had already played a sideshow, half threatening and half tentatively trying to dig up information from Xiang Nanxing, but even this did not succeed. That weird "opossum" Twelve is likely to be the source of Liang Jingmo's jealousy, but in the end, his ranking is not much different from Kara, and there is still a big gap from Xu Wen's "single digit". He can get out of front of Xu Wen with his whole body, let alone those who are not as good as him......
"In retrospect, it was so stupid." Xiang Nanxing smiled bitterly.
When he thought of this, he was standing not far from the entrance to the "A floor" in Liang Jingmo's mouth, forcing himself to face those dark eyes and not to look away. Look away and loseβhe told himself repeatedly, but he couldn't suppress the chill that welled up in his heart.
The machine that modified the numbers was not far behind him, and the entrance was only a few dozen meters in front of him, but Xiang Nanxing couldn't move his feet.
Obviously it is the same person, obviously it is still the fat man with an ordinary face and a smirk on the corner of his mouth, but the figure of the other party seems to have become extremely huge in Xiang Nanxing's eyes, like a mountain firmly pressing him underneath, even if he wants to escape, his feet seem to be firmly nailed to the ground.
Legend has it that a frog can't move when it is targeted by a snake, and that's how Xiang Nanxing tried to fill his brain with this kind of messy thought, as if he was building a fortification in his mind. However, the gaze from the opposite side was like an unstoppable bullet, directly penetrating his body and forcibly shooting into his thoughts at this moment.
"Just now your eyes are slightly upward, then to the left, for a short time, as you think back to the scenes and conversations you have experienced before. But now your gaze is moving to the lower right and then to the left, which must have evoked feelings and then spoken to yourself in your head. There are other subtle movements, and I won't break them down and analyze them one by one. The fat man on the other side still had that smug smile on the corner of his mouth, "Guess boldly, what you recalled before was the big words you let go in front of your companions, promising to complete the task or something?" And now you're thinking about ......"
"I guess it's a folk proverb like 'a frog can't move if it's targeted by a snake.'"
"Even this can be seen, it's simply not human anymore." Xiang Nanxing forced a relaxed smile, but the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger. At this time, he finally recalled the feeling he felt when he faced Xu Wen for the first time, obviously it was the same terrifying, but after being washed away by time, it faded into a dry memory without waves, which in turn fueled his self-confidence for no reason.
Forget, even at that time, he didn't really win Xu Wen, and Xu Wen didn't even do his best at that time, and I don't know how many hole cards there were still unplayed. It was he who arbitrarily identified Xu Wen as a guy who was "only" good at guessing people's hearts, and then predicted the strength of the host in this regard according to the ranking comparison.
"I almost forgot, that guy Liang Jingmo also fought with Xu Wen, since he mentioned that he felt similar to the 'White Night Festival', I should have been vigilant immediately." Xiang Nanxing smiled bitterly, "But then again...... Who would have thought that in reality, there is such an anime setting as 'getting stronger immediately after taking off your glasses'! β
In front of him, the "opossum" Twelve, who had just taken off his gold-rimmed glasses, was still looking at him intently. The dark pupils reflected his anxious figure in the distance, and it seemed to be pure and unadulterated.
Just by looking, you can point to the truth.
