The island certainly has a name, but most of the people on the island can't remember its name.

Because at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what it's called. Suffice it to know that it is one of many isolated islands in the Pacific Ocean.

For some, it's a land of freedom to explore. For others, it's a reality show full of highlights. But for most people, there's only one name.

It is a natural prison in the middle of the ocean.

The sentence is indefinite, there is no way to escape, there is no way to escape, and the only chance is those ethereal legends, which sound like nonsense, but attract countless intelligent and witty high-IQ prisoners.

The "Map of the Island" is one of those legends – but only legends.

"So, even if something is lost, it's not necessarily a bad thing, and from another point of view, it's less troublesome. As for the rest...... The daughter is gone, and she will come back. ”

"Ah...... Oh. Xiang Nanxing nodded dumbly.

When Nangong Qian said everything, the host Shen Lingshuang was standing next to her. She leaned back against the trunk of the tree and clasped her hands in front of her chest, tilted her head slightly and tried to look serious, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but tremble slightly, and she almost laughed.

Because Xiang Nanxing's expression at this time was too exciting.

His eyes were wide open, obviously unable to accept what he was hearing, and his mouth opened unconsciously as he listened, so big that he could easily stuff an egg. Xiang Nanxing looked like a panting runner who had just finished running a marathon at this time, and suddenly heard the news that he had run in the wrong direction.

Shocked, frustrated, and then so angry that he wanted to yell and smash things to vent, but he desperately held back.

Compared to all the things he heard, being dug up from the box and stealing the map fragments was nothing at all, and the rare situation of Nangong Qian making an exception and saying a bunch of words to comfort others was naturally nothing (of course, he didn't know the preciousness of this situation at this time). Xiang Nanxing originally thought that he had finally escaped from that strange prison, just waiting to find a way out and return to the civilized world, and then he had to find a way to find out the truth, clear his charges, and return to his original normal life. However, at this time, someone suddenly told him that he had not actually been released from prison, but had only been transferred from a reinforced concrete prison to a natural prison surrounded by the sea.

It's called how he doesn't break down.

It's just that after these days of training, his heart has become a lot stronger, and he is no longer the naïve student he was before. After going through those games of gambling his life every minute, even if he himself has not grown much in ability, at least he understands the truth that everything must be looked forward and not wasted time and regretted. At this time, he just took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, and when he opened his eyes, his face had returned to his usual calm appearance.

"So there's still a chance to get out of here, right?" He said, "There are so many legends, even if the organizers deliberately provoke disputes, but at least one of them should be true, otherwise ......"

He turned to Shen Lingshuang and said with a smile: "Otherwise, the 'game' will not be established, right." ”

Exactly.

Shen Lingshuang agreed in her heart, but on the surface, she just shrugged her shoulders expressionlessly, noncommittal. The host's role is to ensure that the game is played smoothly and fairly, which includes the relative fairness of the initial conditions between the two sides. One side can be relatively ahead, but the other side must also have a chance to win, which is the minimum fairness, and only in this way can the "game" be called a game.

And Xiang Nanxing guessed correctly, everything that happened on this island at this time was also part of a huge game. Similar to the "overnight" game he had experienced, this time it was still a challenge game with the organizer in charge, but it was much larger than the former, and the participants, needless to say, were the same people who were on the island right now. According to common sense, when everyone on the island (except for the host) dies, it is naturally the victory of the organizer, and if someone succeeds in meeting the conditions of separation or directly breaks away by other means, it is the victory of the player.

Looking at Shen Lingshuang's reaction, Xiang Nanxing was actually tacit. He nodded and turned to Nangong Qian: "In this way, the organizers have put clue items pointing to a legend in everyone's suitcase, but the legend itself may not be reliable. Judging by Miss Nangong's indifferent appearance about the whereabouts of the fragments, I guess when you were left on this island, the suitcase should not have been a map fragment, right? ”

Nangong Qian silently took out a coin from her suitcase. One side is engraved with a left, and the other side is engraved with a right word.

"Poof!" Shen Lingshuang really couldn't hold back this time, and covered her mouth and laughed. The corners of Xiang Nanxing's mouth also opened slightly, and the laughter that almost blurted out was choked in his throat, and for a while, his face showed a look of not knowing what to say. Although Xiang Nanxing's map fragment had no effect at first, at least theoretically, it was possible to collect it all and indicate the correct direction, but Nangong Qian's guiding coin was completely a pit father, could it be that this legend of the organizer is that the luckiest person can rely on this coin to indicate left and right, and then go all the way to the key location or something?

"I'll shoot you if you dare to laugh." Nangong Qian's face was displeased. These words were obviously said to Xiang Nanxing, and the latter's face turned pale when he heard this, and he tried to pretend to be serious.

"Anyway, judging from the two hint items so far, at least some of these legends point to a certain 'place'." Xiang Nanxing analyzed, "Of course, it may be directly linked to something or someone in the end, but this will also involve the question of their location." Now my map fragments are gone, and yours ...... Coins, in this case are also not very able to play a real level. I think now we should focus on scoursing our surroundings to see if we have any chance of reaching out to other people to get more information. ”

"Initiating contact? Don't be silly. Nangong Qian sneered, "I was quite smooth when I was free at first, but then I took the initiative to approach one, guess what the result is?" ”

She said that she was naturally a murderer in the villa, and it seemed that even if she took revenge, she still cared very much about the fact that she was once imprisoned. Xiang Nanxing coughed and changed the topic: "But except for some special people, as long as most players explain the pros and cons, I think they will be happy to cooperate." ”

Nangong Qian raised her eyebrows, as if asking why.

"Because that's how this big game on the island should be." Xiang Nanxing said confidently, "If you want to clear the customs, one person is not enough, you have to team up." ”

"Oh?"

An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Shen Lingshuang's mouth. Although at her level, she still has no access to the core secrets of this island, coincidentally, according to the existing situation, she also deduced a conclusion similar to what Xiang Nanxing said at this time.

The basis of his reasoning is, of course, the previous speculation. The organizers probably want to see all the people on the island die, but until then, they are not allowed to take the initiative to attack the players, but can only influence the sidelines, trying to lure the players into killing each other in various ways, or put on a beautiful scene for them.

But Xiang Nanxing thought deeply on this basis. In order to achieve the defeat condition of cannibalism and finally all death, it is necessary to have at least two prisoners who have lost their minds, and they happen to die together, which is too low. And if there is only one player left at the end of the game, and that player chooses to survive and refuses to admit defeat, then won't the organizer be dragged by him alone one step away from winning?

Therefore, the real failure condition should be "the number of people is reduced below a certain standard", and this standard is most likely the minimum number of people necessary to complete the game. As long as it is above this number, the people on the island will theoretically have a chance to escape together, but once the total number is reduced to below this number, it means that it is impossible to clear the level, and the organizers can logically declare their victory and then dispose of the rest.

From this point of view, the teaming that Shen Lingshuang hinted at not long ago is actually a fairly obvious hint. It's just that Nangong Qian was rejected at that time. At this time, Xiang Nanxing explained his thoughts to her again, and many hints in his words were actually equivalent to inviting her again in person.

After all, just like Shen Lingshuang said before, at this time, the two of them were covered in bruises, and they were too busy to take care of themselves, even if they wanted to fight each other, they had to wait until later. Nangong Qian certainly has an accurate archery skill, but as a main attack medium and long-range sniper, her thin physique is almost powerless to resist once she is approached. At this time, she still needs a meat shield to block herself, even if she can't really block it, as long as she buys a little time to open the distance, she can continue to fight.

With this minimum standard, Xiang Nanxing is at least qualified. Even at the moment, his mind is not bad, and in some cases he may be able to find the key to victory. But this is also something that Nangong Qian is faintly worried about. After all, peering means that sometimes you may expose your weaknesses in front of the other party, and if the other party calculates intentionally or unintentionally, carefully and secretly - just like what the seemingly kind little girl did before--it is really difficult for you to resist.

Nangong Qian rarely fell into hesitation, but Xiang Nanxing was not in a hurry, just stood next to her and waited silently for her reply.

At that moment, the sound of an airplane engine suddenly came from above their heads. The sound came from east to west, accompanied by the whirring and turning of the fan blades, and swept through the forest they were in from a low altitude, startling countless birds for a while. Xiang Nanxing raised his head and looked at the huge metal figure that appeared between the branches and leaves suspiciously, not knowing why a helicopter suddenly appeared in this place.

However, Nangong Qian suddenly stopped thinking. She rose to her feet, slung the suitcase with the rope strung back, and crushed her homemade bow and arrow behind her waist, ready for action in an instant, while leaving all the superfluous things behind.

"Supplies are coming." She said a word, like talking to herself and like a reminder to Xiang Nanxing. Before the latter could react, he saw the girl tighten the bandage around her waist and jump forward with a sudden force of her feet. Like a deer, she followed the direction of the helicopter and rushed into the dense woods, and disappeared from Xiang Nanxing's field of vision in just three or four take-offs and landings.

"What kind of ...... is this?"

Xiang Nanxing was dumbfounded.
