Double kill.

At this moment, Liang Jingmo really understood the meaning of the word. Compared with the unreliable speculations in private before, Huang Lao's appearance at this time had already put the answer to this question in front of them straightforwardly.

That is to skip the result of the fourth game and play the fifth "general battle" directly at the same time. In this way, if both sides win, the host side will also be able to perform a beautiful "double kill" on the player team.

From the presenter's point of view, this approach is certainly very unreasonable. Whether it's giving up the third game that can end the game directly after winning, or starting the final battle without waiting for the results of the fourth game to come out, this is tantamount to giving up a great chance of winning and having to challenge the highest difficulty yourself. And this is undoubtedly a great opportunity for players......

At first glance, it does.

However, in fact, except for the third game that Xu Wen voluntarily gave up, allowing Liang Jingmo to win without a fight, and pulled back one game in vain, the advance of the fifth game actually had no impact on the outcome of the entire game. For players, whether they play sequentially or synchronously, they need to win all three of the next three rounds to win, and the host side only needs to make sure that one of them wins even if two rounds are played at the same time.

Thinking about it this way, this kind of insurance is actually an insurance for the host's side. Because if you follow the normal process, the host loses the "general battle" means losing the whole game, but in this way, even if Huang Lao loses in the duel with the mask man, as long as the young man on the other side wins in the fourth game, the host's side can still win the final victory.

Some people may find it strange. If it is in the original order, as long as the host side wins the fourth game, Huang Lao does not have to take the risk of the last game, wouldn't it be more advantageous than giving up the advantage now to play the fifth game in advance?

This kind of thinking is actually close to the truth. Thinking about it on the other hand, the reason why Huang Lao did such things, not hesitating to let the host lose the game, and took a lot of pains, is actually for one purpose......

"How much you want to face me in this one?" The masked man's voice was full of helplessness.

Liang Jingmo nodded silently on the side.

That's right, Elder Huang will instruct Xu Wen to give up the previous game for only one reason, that is, this will allow him to compete with the masked man who may not be able to play. But if he wants to give up two games and go directly to the "general battle", he will be burdened with the burden of having to win, and judging from his final choice, he obviously has no certainty of victory.

The practice of advancing the "general war" as we are doing now will undoubtedly be able to resolve the above-mentioned contradictions. He could play a game with the Masked Man without losing the whole game. In fact, he can start the third game and let the following games play at the same time, so that the host can be sure to win as long as he wins one of the three games. However, judging from the fact that Takuma Higayama continued to serve as the host of the fourth game, the host on the island was now understaffed and could not handle the situation of opening three games at the same time, so he had to settle for the next best, give up one game, and let the last two games be played at the same time.

"It's just that you don't necessarily think too well." The Masked Man shrugged, "Just as you don't have a certain victory against me, I feel the same way when I meet your words." And no matter what the outcome is, I don't expect us to be in good shape along the way, so why not watch the game quietly and wait for the fourth round to come out? ”

Huang Lao looked at him with a smile: "So you have a lot of confidence in this young man named Xiang Nanxing?" ”

The masked man was succinct: "I watched almost every game he played on the island in the past two days. The part he didn't say was obvious: because he had confirmed Xiang Nanxing's current level with his own eyes, he believed that he had a chance to win.

The "judge" Danqing and Chris who were listening next to him didn't react to this sentence, the latter because they didn't understand, and the former thought it was not surprising that the masked man did this. However, if Nangong Qian or Xiang Nanxing himself were here, they would definitely be taken aback by the masked man's words, especially the former. As a killer, Nangong Qian is proficient in stealth tracking and other skills, and is obviously quite good at anti-tracking, but even she can't notice that there are still people around watching them. The masked man's tracking ability has really surpassed that of ordinary hosts.

But Liang Jingmo's focus is on another place.

It's Xiang Nanxing again.

His hanging hands trembled slightly, and he almost couldn't control himself trying to walk up and pour out his inner questions to the masked man. In order to save Xiang Nanxing's life, the adult in front of him lost the important "war of stealing the country" that night, but he didn't say anything. And Liang Jingmo himself did not hesitate to risk going to prison for this doubt in his heart, contacted Xiang Nanxing, befriended him, and observed it from a close distance, but he still gained nothing.

On this day, he finally met this adult again, and he knew that if he asked, there would be no result, so he had been struggling to suppress his emotions and confirm the truth behind all this through observation.

However, at this time, he couldn't help it. It's Xiang Nanxing again. Even if he lost the "War of Stealing the Country" and was forced to flee, he had to count on the rules of the "White Night Festival" to bring him back to life, the person in front of him still trusted Xiang Nanxing, and even spent two full days observing him and confirming his current growth, which was especially incomprehensible to Liang Jingmo.

There was even a faint hint of jealousy in my heart.

Yes, Xiang Nanxing has a surprising potential ability, and after personal contact, even Liang Jingmo has to admit it. He also admits that in time, this person may be able to reach a similar level as himself.

But at the end of the day, it's just a possibility.

At this stage, everything in Xiang Nanxing is still in an unstable state, any little emotional fluctuation will affect his performance, and his thoughts are often full of loopholes, only in the real life and death moment can he show the strong side of his character, but if he really meets a master, a little mistake is enough to kill, and resilience is of little significance.

In other words, it's not a role worth putting down a heavy bet on. Although under the current best-of-five system of three wins, Xiang Nanxing is more reassuring than Chris or Nangong Qian, and it is indeed him who is shouldering the most critical task at this time, but this is just an afterthought. Long before he knew that the White Night Festival would be held in the form of a group battle, and even before it was determined that Xiang Nanxing could participate in the White Night Festival, the Mask Man began to observe him, which was enough to show how important he was to this person.

Regarding this, even Liang Jingmo can figure it out from this sentence. Huang Lao naturally knew earlier.

"Don't rush to say no, think about it...... Or do you want to watch it a little longer? Huang Lao raised his hand to the picture of the game on the opposite side, and said slowly, "Now that the results of the first round have come out, the thirty-fourth 'Da Zhuang' hexagram has won the thirty-second 'Heng' hexagram, and both sides have begun to think about the meaning behind this result." I ask you, you saw it when they chose the cards just now, and you can hear the rules of the game as clearly as they read it, so if it is you, can you deduce the rules of victory and defeat that I have set? ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the masked man, with a look on his face like a child proudly showing off his toys.

The masked man was silent for a few seconds, then shook his head slightly.

"If you can't do it, they won't be able to." Huang Lao smiled, "There are a total of eight rounds in the entire 'Mandate of Heaven', and if there is no just right flash of inspiration, ordinary people will not be able to touch a little bit of the doorway until the fourth or fifth round at the earliest, but it will be too late by then." Before you can master this game, losing, drawing, and then accepting the 'Trial of Blood' should be commonplace. ”

The masked man said lightly, "So what? ”

"So ......"

Huang Lao snapped his fingers. The door opened again, and a tall, slender hostess with skin as white as snow walked in. Liang Jingmo recognized this person, this was the twenty-ninth host "White Dove" Mingliu, who was present to help maintain order in the game where Chris lost not long ago.

"Let's change our perspective and get back to the topic." Huang Lao smiled, "'Preview' game, you are familiar with this gameplay. ”

The Masked Man didn't answer, so he continued.

"Of course you're familiar with it, because it's a must-have show in every 'war to steal the country', and you only experienced it once not long ago. As you know, it is the first topic that every moderator will be trained to do, because the first thing that everyone will learn from it is a crucial truth - people who don't have power are not enough to talk about winning or losing. So I want to say ......"

Huang Lao smiled: "Although I was asking you just now, I didn't actually plan to ask for your opinion. Because the one who holds the initiative here now is me. Accompanying you around this big circle is just to give you time to think clearly. ”

He leaned forward and whispered something in the masked man's ear. Liang Jingmo on the side only saw that the masked man's body was obviously stiffened, and then he trembled slightly, and it calmed down after two or three seconds. I couldn't see the expression underneath through the mask, but Liang Jingmo recognized this body language.

It was shock, as well as anger.

It's just that this short period of emotion was only revealed for a moment, and when Huang Lao sat down again, the masked man had already regained his composure.

"Very well, if this is the ending you want, then I am also willing to accompany you to this last game."

His attitude changed abruptly, but the tone of his voice was still under control. Liang Jingmo narrowed his eyes, and vaguely guessed what Huang Lao's mysterious words were...... Or rather, with whom. In this way, the attitude of the mask man changed 180 degrees is just a repetition of the abnormal scene in the "war of stealing the country" at that time.

"It's him again......" Liang Jingmo said to himself.

And Chris, who couldn't see through it, was still shocked: "What is this going to do!" Change as you say! ”

"Just look at it."

Liang Jingmo sighed: "The 'General War' is about to begin. ”
