Lorraine is dead.

From that distorted face, anyone could see that he was in pain before he died. The place where Lorraine fell was inside the bathroom. At the end of his life, he closed the bathroom door with his last strength, hoping that it would be updated with fresh air to help him survive this last bit of time. As long as he stays alive by the time the guards arrive, he can still be counted as a game, and the prison side will not be able to save him from death.

Hold on a little longer, and you'll win!

It's a pity that what awaits him here is still death,

"Dying on two different poisonous gases, it's no wonder that he has such a complicated expression in the end." Liang Jingmo sighed, "One is corrosive poison, the other is nerve poison, any one is a very painful thing, he actually tasted it all over again." ”

Xiang Nanxing next to him had already changed into clean clothes, and his emotions gradually calmed down after a thorough vent. After listening to Liang Jingmo's description of Lorraine's experience, Xiang Nanxing also fell into thought, but even if he substituted himself, he thought that he couldn't do better than the dead Lorraine.

The three oxygen masks were used by Lorraine for the first three hours - this makes sense, and it is impossible to keep the masks without them if he dies at any time.

And Lorraine stayed next to the bathroom for the last hour, maintaining a position where she could push the door in and close it at any time - no problem at all, and Xiang Nanxing had to admire his resilience in maintaining this state of concentration.

Then, just a few minutes away from the game, Lorraine sees the potted plants placed under the vents quickly wilt. He knew that the poison gas had been released, and even developed a severe burning sensation in his lungs because he inhaled a small amount of poison gas. So he rushed into the bathroom for the last time according to the established plan - this step is no problem, after all, if you don't go in, you will die, and if you do, there is still a chance. It's just that judging by the results, he was more unlucky.

Every step of the way, Lorraine has done impeccable with the resources he has. And what Xiang Nanxing on the other side did was just give up on himself and go to the bathroom in advance. Of course, he can also argue that he doesn't have a potted plant that can observe whether the poison gas is released, so even if he uses a mask, he can't tell whether the poison gas period has passed during the use period, and in the end he will inevitably go into the bathroom to fight, so it is better to go in early.

No matter how you look at it, the technical content on his side is much lower than that of Lorraine. However, it was he who survived in the end.

"I know, of course you're not naïve enough to think it's just your luck better than his." Liang Jingmo said, "Whether it was a supernatural event or your subconscious survival instinct played a role, in short, the most correct thing you did at that time was not to go to the bathroom." ”

He made a gesture of placement: "It's about 'putting the oxygen mask back in its original position when it's not in use.'" ”

Xiang Nanxing frowned slightly, revealing a confused expression: "Where to put the oxygen mask, is it important?" ”

Liang Jingmo smiled, but did not answer his question directly.

"None of you have fully figured out one important thing: this game is designed by people." He said, "Since it was designed by man, there is an intention." Lorraine was the first to realize this, noticing that there were four people in it, and the oxygen masks added up to just enough for one to pass safely, so the designers wanted them to kill each other - and that layer was right. ”

He held up a finger: "But this is not enough. If it were only for this purpose, it would be enough to vent poison gas from time to time in the room, and there would be no need to design a separate toilet with its random air circulation system. The latter is clearly the second path that the designers have set aside for the player, giving the player a chance to complete the level even if they don't collect the full mask. If the former method is to clear the customs, then the latter should be the one that allows everyone to survive together, 'perfect clearance'. ”

Xiang Nanxing thought for a moment, then shook his head honestly: "I still don't understand." ”

"To put it simply, if I were you, I would have two ways to clear the level."

Liang Jingmo said: "First, I will keep the oxygen mask all the time and wait until the last hour before putting it on. The second option is simpler, I can sleep for a while, wait until the last few minutes and then go into the bathroom and sit for a while until the game time is over. ”

Xiang Nanxing was speechless: "These two practices are too ...... It takes so much courage. ”

"If you figure it out, you won't feel scared."

Qiu Banxia, the "black cat" who was walking next to him, suddenly interjected: "Liang Jingmo's approach really understands the rules of the game." It says that the room will emit poison gas 'at some point', and that there is a 'certain chance' that the gas in the bathroom will be poison gas. However, this "sometime" and "uncertain" are not the same as random. ”

"It's the result of the game's careful design."

She looked at Xiang Nanxing with a smile, watching the latter's expression change from doubt to surprise, and finally suddenly realized.

Yes, if he were the designer, there would only be one time to release the gas, and that would be the last few minutes near the end.

Imagine sitting in a room where poison gas could be released at any moment, and with an oxygen mask at hand to keep them alive, who could bear to put the mask to the end? No way, because every second is dangerous, so surviving the second in front of you is the most important.

They'll just reassure themselves that "maybe the gas will be gone by the time I'm wearing the mask," but they won't put themselves in the game designer's shoes.

If human resilience is to be tested, poison gas must of course be saved for last. The one who can fight the temptation to survive and save the oxygen mask to the end is qualified to survive this game.

And the problem of the bathroom may involve a small mechanism, which is also the key to the completely different fates of the two. Xiang Nanxing guessed that under the position where the oxygen mask was placed on the bedside table, there should be an extremely accurate scale. As soon as the bathroom door closes, it uses this scale to check the use of the oxygen mask.

When the weight of the oxygen mask remains the same, pure air is released from the bathroom, and when the oxygen mask has been removed, or the weight has changed due to use, toxic gas is released from the suite. The intent of the designers here is also clear: if you have the courage to challenge the odds directly, you can still win, if you have a chance to win or lose, you want to find a safe oxygen mask, but you want to try your luck in the bathroom after using it...... Then die.

"Not being fooled by death threats, and seeing through the purpose of the game's designers, players can easily beat the level. It doesn't require much you to do, just the courage to open a door or wait. "Black Cat" Qiu Banxia finally concluded from the perspective of the host, "The game is not designed to make it impossible for people to clear the level - this is the iron rule of all test games." ”

This sentence was said by the old one-eyed, and Lorraine also said, but their tragedy is that even if they say this truth, they are always stuck in the game and cannot see through the truth itself.

This difference in thought created a tragic ending.

Thinking of the old one-eyed, a trace of sadness came to my heart again. Xiang Nanxing raised his head and let out a long sullen breath. When he looked up, he suddenly noticed something unusual.

"Wait, where are we headed now?"

He originally thought that after clearing the game, although he survived, he would be sent back to his original cell because of his failed escape from prison. When he saw that Liang Jingmo, who did not actually participate in the prison break, also walked with him, he was even more convinced of this speculation. However, when he looked up, he noticed a completely different ceiling from the area he had been in before, and it was clear that they were not going back, but a corridor leading to another area.

Liang Jingmo pretended to be surprised and said, "I thought you found out early in the morning." We were supposed to be sent back to our cells, but the 'Black Cat' host managed to break away from the masked man and bring you and me here without telling the guards. I guess she might want to host some kind of game. It just so happens that the promise I owe you can be repaid. ”

Qiu Banxia next to him sneered twice very cooperatively, just like the traitorous horn he described in his mouth.

"Don't make a fuss, it's actually you who did it again."

For this person, Xiang Nanxing was powerless to complain. Looking back, these messy things that I experienced in this day are basically inseparable from Liang Jingmo. If he hadn't disrupted Lorraine's plan halfway, the latter might have formed the ideal team and successfully escaped from prison, and the old one-eyed would not have died, let alone the latter things......

Apparently not. Xiang Nanxing smiled bitterly in his heart.

Lorraine's prison break fell into the hands of the host from the start, and failure was doomed. Even the matter of being guided to the game venue can hardly be said to be Liang Jingmo or the "masked man" Fike. But now Xiang Nanxing can basically confirm a little, in the time when he accidentally touched the mechanism, that mechanism should have been opened remotely by Liang Jingmo, in order to let him leave the team so as to avoid the next game. It's just that Lorraine and his reaction were too fast, so that Liang Jingmo couldn't get his wish in the end.

Lorraine, who reached out to help him at the time, turned out to be a person who would use his teammates as tools at critical moments. And Liang Jingmo, who is regarded as a traitor, is the one who tries to really save himself. The transformation of roles in life is really exciting.

"I know my mind can't keep up with your train of thought, so I'm not going to rush you to explain the whole plan."

Xiang Nanxing sighed: "But if you want me to participate in the game, at least tell me first, let me be a little prepared." And you don't look at the time either. To be honest, I haven't slept all night now, and I'm in a terrible state. ”

"No, the way you look with dark circles right now is perfect for gaming. That's why I made a temporary request to bring the game forward. The big scene that I promised you, and maybe you could empty your sentence at once, is now. ”

Liang Jingmo's smile gradually narrowed, revealing an unprecedentedly serious expression.

"Xiang Nanxing, as my helper, participate in this 'Three Kingdoms Game' and crusade against Luo Baichuan together."

Liang Jingmo said word by word:

"I need your help very, very badly."
