Empty pistol
No one made a sound, except for a soft "click" when the trigger was pulled.
After that, there was no other movement for a while. The gunshot, which should have been fired, calmly put the pistol back into place after Xu Wen finished the shot, and then slowly raised his head and looked directly into the eyes of Liang Jingmo on the other side. The latter's face obviously still had the shocked look on his face, but a second later, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The two opponents just looked at each other like this, and they both smiled knowingly.
"Is this stuck?"
Chris in the room was dumbfounded, but as soon as the words came out, he immediately denied this conclusion: "No, no, it's a different sound." ”
"There were no bullets in the first place." Xiang Nanxing said quietly.
The original look of surprise on his face was replaced by a sudden realization, and at the same time, there was a bit of admiration. Xiang Nanxing looked at Liang Jingmo's confident face in the picture, and shook his head helplessly: "There were no bullets in the gun - think about it carefully, this is also his usual style." ”
"What's going on?" Chris was still in the hair, "Don't let go of the bullets? What kind of play is this? ”
"That's right." Xiang Nanxing explained, "Do you remember? Here's what the host said when he read out the rules: 'One bullet is dealt per round, and the player can choose to put the bullet into one of the nests in the magazine'. Note the wording, he says 'may', not 'must', in other words, the player can also choose not to put bullets in the gun. ”
Chris frowned: "But in this way, even if you can ensure that you don't get hit by the other party, wouldn't the other party be completely safe...... Yes! ”
His eyes widened suddenly, and he clearly noticed the key point in the rules.
"Yes." Xiang Nanxing nodded, "The rules say 'one bullet per round', regardless of whether the player keeps the bullet or not, this is something that will happen in every round." And there is no provision for recovering bullets in the rules, that is, if you choose to keep the bullets in the first game, you will have two bullets to use in the second game, which will undoubtedly greatly increase the chance of the opponent being shot. Although the risk of shooting at the enemy will also increase, the ratio of the number of times of the two options is one to three, which is more beneficial to one's own side in comparison. ”
"What an unexpected move!" "The first game hadn't even started when the bullets were released, but he was already planning the second game!" ”
"That's his style." Xiang Nanxing sighed, secretly saying that he was really inconsiderate. The first time Liang Jingmo rescued him, he used a card left in advance, and then in the Three Kingdoms game, which was the key battle of the prison out, he cut off his finger early in the middle of the game, and handed his finger to himself to deal with the possible changes in the last game. This kind of long-term planning that looks at the whole picture and spans one or even several games is his forte.
"It's a pretty bold plan and a lot of risk, but if it goes well, the second game will be a lot easier." Xiang Nanxing muttered, "It's just that it seems that this hand didn't have the expected effect......"
"What a fanciful idea. No wonder I never felt any nervousness about my choice, and there was no danger of being shot by me in the first place. Xu Wen smiled and praised, "If I wasn't very confident in my observations, I would definitely be taken aback by this result in the last round." ”
Liang Jingmo was also smiling, but this smile looked somewhat reluctant. In his prediction, taking the risk of putting away the bullets in the first game can create two advantages, on the one hand, it will make his second game more flexible, and on the other hand, it can also create a certain psychological advantage before the end of the first round. Because according to the performance simulated by Chi Shangxuan and others before, it is speculated that the genuine "iron block" in front of him, that is, Xu Wen's ability, is mainly to observe others and hide himself. If he can be ruthless in terms of observation, the rest of the game will undoubtedly be much easier.
But he didn't expect Xu Wen to trust his own observation ability to such an extent. Not only did he deduce the strategy of "not letting go of bullets" based on Liang Jingmo's unexpected sense of ease, but he even decisively gave up the right to "shoot at the enemy" in the last round and used "shooting at himself" to show his strong self-confidence.
You know, from a rational point of view, you should definitely choose to use "shooting at the enemy" in the last round. Because this is not like the bullet hidden by Liang Jingmo, which can be used in the second game, once it is not used, it will be invalid if it expires. And Liang Jingmo may also just pretend to be calm, so calm that he hid Xu Wen's eyes. Assuming that this probability is only 1 in 10,000, then Xu Wen has a 1 in 10,000 chance of winning if he uses "shooting at the enemy", and if he uses "shooting at himself", he may die, and the other two results are the same, and idiots know which one to choose.
But Xu Wen is so firm that he thinks that there will be no one in 10,000 possibility. What he saw was the truth itself, and even if he had to gamble with his life, he would not frown.
"The confidence in this area is so strong, it seems that I am the one who has been overwhelmed in terms of momentum." Liang Jingmo thought with a wry smile. Obviously, he risked losing at the beginning to win a little initiative for the second game, and he thought that he would take advantage of the opportunity to shoot from the back hand to decide the winner in one go, but Xu Wen's momentum made his thoughts shake a little.
In any case, a similar technique cannot be used a second time. With the host-level feel, as long as you pay attention, it is not difficult to feel the subtle weight difference between an empty gun and a loaded gun when holding the gun. The reason why Xu Wen failed to find this in the first game was that he was not familiar with the original weight of this pistol and could not compare, and secondly, because he did not expect this step and lacked preparation. But then it's different, whether Liang Jingmo chooses an empty gun or puts in one or two bullets, Xu Wen can judge it very directly, and then choose the strategy to adopt. With the help of his astonishing observation, even the matter of shooting first is no longer a disadvantage, but has become an advantage that can be used one step earlier.
The bullet that was an advantage in Chris's eyes actually became a hot potato in Liang Jingmo's decision-making at this time. Use it, the extra bullet may be detected by Xu Wen, so that he can use "shooting at the enemy" earlier, but don't use it, it is equivalent to admitting that he can't hide the opponent's observation, and he will undoubtedly be more passive in terms of momentum. But in any case, there is a way to avoid Xu Wen's observation in the next round, after all, the latter has already proved that even in the first round, Liang Jingmo's emotional changes still can't escape his eyes.
"It's not that there are no methods, but it's just ......"
Liang Jingmo was hesitating, but saw Xu Wen suddenly make a "game pause" gesture. The host of this game, Takuma Higayama, was about to announce the start of the second game, but was suddenly stopped, and he suddenly looked confused.
Xu Wen glanced at Liang Jingmo deeply and said, "If you are worried about the second game...... Not necessarily. ”
"What do you mean by that?" It was the long mountain who stood in the middle who asked the question. He vaguely felt something special from Xu Wen's change in attitude at this time, which seemed to have a great impact on the next game. If not, even if the other party was originally a high-ranking host, he would not allow the player to stop the game casually.
Xu Wen smiled. He leaned back comfortably in his chair and spread out the only hand that could move: "That means I throw in the towel." ”
"What?"
Someone in the venue and in the lounge screamed at the same time. Xiang Nanxing and Chris on this side shouted out almost at the same time, and around Liang Jingmo and Xu Wen, several hosts couldn't help but shout, and even the host who was ranked less than twenty in the long mountain couldn't hold his breath, and his eyebrows were obviously raised.
In his opinion, Xu Wen almost had an absolute advantage in the next game, and the bullet that the opponent put away was very likely to be used by him in the end. This game is about seeing through the opponent and covering himself, which Xu Wen has clearly proved through the shot just now, even if Liang Jingmo makes actions other than the general rules, he can still see through it.
But in this advantageous situation, Xu Wen actually wants to admit defeat by himself?
"What, isn't it up to the rules?" Xu Wen turned his head, his gaze stabbed at him like a sharp blade, "The gap between the two games can admit defeat independently, this is one of the rules of the game, right?" ”
"Yes, but ......"
Long Yama felt that his thoughts were still confused, and he could only mechanically signal the game to the hosts around him. At this moment, Liang Jingmo's flat voice was already sounding on the other side. The latter had obviously been as surprised as the others just now, but now, he had clearly calmed down.
"I will admit defeat, of course, not because I feel that I can't win. It's better to say that you gave up the game because you thought you had won, in order to create a shadow in my heart that would be difficult to erase, just like the last shot had to shoot yourself. Liang Jingmo said quietly, "What I'm curious about is that if you continue to play, you can kill me directly if you win, and you don't need to establish this kind of nihilistic psychological advantage." Why do you want to do more? Don't tell me anything about you're afraid to take risks! ”
Xu Wen smiled. He glanced left and right, noticing that as the game officially ended, the associated filming and pickup equipment had ceased to function. "Have you ever played baseball?" He suddenly asked a question that was not very important.
Liang Jingmo was slightly stunned, not knowing what the connection between this matter and the current situation was: "I haven't played it, but I've seen some." ”
"There's a term in baseball called 'double kill,' which refers to the practice of the defense having two attackers out in the same round. The most common situation is when one man goes to base and the other hits, and the defender catches the ball and passes the ball to cause both to go out together. If you directly use the 'strikeout' to send the hitter out, you will never be able to achieve a 'double kill'. ”
"So what? What is the connection with the present? Liang Jingmo was too lazy to go around in circles anymore.
"Let's put it this way." Xu Wen smiled, "The first game with you is just entertainment." The one I participated in was originally set to lose-
Because our 'boss' decided to complete a 'double kill'. ”
