The mystery of the number of people

"Why five presenters? That's weird, isn't it? ”

Nangong Qian's sudden words made Xiang Nanxing puzzled the second monk for a while. Compere? Now what's the matter with the host? And Huang Lao also said before that the five hosts who are currently staying in the venue are just to maintain order as soon as possible and control the voting within the limits of the rules, and will not do anything else to interfere with the normal voting of players.

In this way, just like Huang Lao said, it can be just used as a decoration for them. What is the difference between five and ten hosts? Is it because of the fear that five hosts will not be enough to suppress the ten players who live there?

"No, it's very unlikely." Nangong Qian said, "Not to mention that there are other people outside, it is meaningless to just suppress the five people who live in the venue, let's just talk about the situation in this venue, in the end, there are five players who can win, so once there is a conflict, there will definitely be no less than five people who choose Mingzhe to protect themselves, which is also equivalent to getting a chance to be escorted, and the remaining five people against the five hosts, no matter how you look at it, the chances of winning will not be very great." ”

Xiang Nanxing shook his head suspiciously: "I can understand what you said...... So I don't understand what you mean by that. ”

Nangong Qian looked at him deeply.

"Recall that the host 'Ice Floe' Yukihiko brought us in was the host 'Ice Floe' Yukihiko, who stayed in the corner after taking us into the venue, and there were already other presenters in the venue at that time. Have you ever thought that according to the highly consistent layout habits of the operator, the five hosts in this venue should all stay after serving as a guide, just like Yukihiko? ”

"That sounds pretty plausible. So what's the problem? ”

"Ten people, five guides." Nangong Qian opened her palms and said seriously, "The number on both sides is not matched, which means that there are still several groups of players who came to the venue together like us." Think about who they are. ”

Xiang Nanxing's heart was shocked. After this prompt, he finally followed Nangong Qian's train of thought. In retrospect, on the way in, he once passed by the preparation room and saw that there were several presenters in black suits inside. Therefore, there is no shortage of manpower, and only five people can be dispatched.

Considering that the focus of this game is on the cooperation between players, the initial relationship between the players is naturally very important information, and there is nothing more intuitive than "entering the game together". The organizers only left these five hosts on the scene, in addition to being on guard, most of them also provided players with an important clue to reason about this information.

"Think about it slowly, you know more directly than I do, and you should be able to imagine the combination." Nangong Qian said.

The five hosts, excluding the "ice floe" Yukihiko who brought them in, and the remaining four people correspond to these eight players, which means that the eight people are divided into four groups to enter. There is no suspense about Wang Bei, Huo Yinan and Wu Wenfeng, although these three people should be as powerful as fire and water in terms of identity, and they are also arguing over how to cooperate at this time, but after all, they are playing billiards at the same table just now, at least it shows that their relationship is not as bad as most people imagine.

Isn't it true that the person who knows you best is not your friend, but your enemy. These three people, who are enemies of each other, may have hated each other in the past, but in the environment of the White Night Festival against the host, no matter what conflicts there are between them, they can be put aside for the time being, after all, only they know how powerful the old opponents who have always competed are.

How terrible you are as an opponent, how reliable you are as a comrade-in-arms. They must know this, so they were already in a cooperative relationship before entering the venue. At this time, the dispute is nothing more than the unfair distribution of benefits in the voting game that I suddenly saw, deciding who will win first and who will take the risk of coming behind.

Xiang Nanxing was basically sure that the three of them entered the venue together, so the corresponding one was a host.

Among the rest, Liang Jingmo and Shen Junhao reached an agreement to cooperate shortly after the game began, even earlier than Xiang Nanxing planned to negotiate. Although this may also be due to the fact that the two are familiar with each other and communicate with half the effort, it is also possible to guess that they met before entering the venue, and then entered the venue together as a group.

Five of the eight people have been removed so far, and the remaining three people correspond to the two hosts. At first glance, this ratio is higher than the previous three to one and two to one, but in fact, after screening these three people, it seems very strange that no matter which two people come in a group.

In the final analysis, it is because they all show the appearance of walking alone. Chris hid behind the sofa alone to observe, and was found to have only spoken to Xiang Nanxing. The masked man looked like a loner from beginning to end, not even negotiating with anyone during the voting session, and just sat on the sofa and pretended to sleep. As for Xiao Leping, the helpless look just now was still in front of him, if he came in with anyone, he wouldn't have to fall into such a situation.

However, the number of moderators means that two of the three must be together. No matter who it was, it was a potential threat to the alliance that Xiang Nanxing and Liang Jingmo had just formed at this time, because two of the three were in their team. Whoever has a private connection with the masked man may eventually reveal the intelligence of this alliance.

"That's not right." Xiang Nanxing suddenly remembered something, "Xiao Leping was the last to arrive, later than us, and there was no host with him when he arrived...... No, maybe it was taken by Huang Lao and the others, but their identities did not stay here. In this way, the other two correspond to the two hosts, at least in terms of numbers. ”

didn't wait for Nangong Qian to answer, but he immediately frowned, and said to himself: "No, there is a sequence of the time when he and the three hosts arrived, and there is still a gap in between, it is still okay to be taken by other hosts, it is not worth making an exception for him." A player arrives at the venue without a host...... Does that mean that all of these premises are wrong......"

He thought hard, and when he turned his head, he saw Nangong Qian's eyes that seemed to be smiling.

As soon as the two made eye contact, Nangong Qian smiled suddenly, and immediately returned to that cold appearance.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not laughing at you." She seemed to notice her gaffe and preemptively said, "It's just that I feel a little relieved to see that you have finally recovered some of your state." In this way, even if all the unpopular speculations I just made were groundless and nonsense, it would have had a somewhat positive effect. ”

"Recovery status?"

Xiang Nanxing smiled dumbly: "I'll tell you the truth, I'm resting enough now, and I don't need to be distracted by anything, I can concentrate on observing the situation in front of me, and my state is better than ever." ”

Nangong Qian looked at him deeply, as if she wanted to see her heart from those eyes.

"Your strings are loose, I can see it." She said slowly, "From a certain time after entering this venue, it was as if you were suddenly deflated, as if the heavy burden that you had had to carry all this time was finally lifted, and the whole person was relaxed. You're still observing, and your eyesight might be more precise, but that's no use. ”

She shook her head.

"The person who taught me the technique of killing said that no matter how powerful the killing method is, as long as there is a lack of killing intent in it, there is nothing to be afraid of." The thought of 'wanting to win' is like the killing intent of facing victory and defeat, and if the idea of pinning the victory or defeat on someone else arises in an instant, then there is no need to talk about the rest of the matter. Thou hast willingly surrendered thy weapon to the land with the hilt of thy sword, but thou hast turned the blade toward thyself. Can you understand? ”

For Nangong Qian, who doesn't usually talk much, such a tirade is really rare, and this remark is even more cautious, not at all like her usual style. Xiang Nanxing knew that she was so tactful just so that she could listen to it.

As a killer, she has the same keen eye. The technique of capturing the mood changes of her target, she must have learned.

So she couldn't trust Liang Jingmo, which was reasonable.

"I see." Xiang Nanxing can only say that.

The icon on the tablet kept flashing all the time. That's a hint with new information. Liang Jingmo sent several messages in a row to confirm the last number, Xiao Leping was about to get up and roll the dice, among the six of them, only Nangong Qian's number had not been reported.

"I'll pick four."

She said lightly, and then watched Xiao Leping get up and walk to the coffee table with Xiang Nanxing, who gave the signal. The eyes of the audience were focused on him at this moment, half of them were expecting, and the other half were vigilant.

He looked nervous, but he picked up the dice and threw them, letting them spin on the coffee table.

The half-wary gaze suddenly turned into doubt. It is expected that those people may have to wait until the results of this round of voting are out to figure out the mystery. And even if they knew the meaning of the dice, they might not be able to determine the number of opponents for a while, because the people who formed the alliance would not be stupid enough to vote for the only lucky one in the first round.

The real difficulties are in the back, and it is the same for everyone, only the first one is the pure lucky one, and the five of them choose different options, and then they all wait to see who can become the lucky one.

Staring at the dice that were still spinning, Xiang Nanxing suddenly felt that he should say something while waiting for it to stop. At least it should be a response to Nangong Qian's advice just now. He hesitated, but in the end it was just a matter of no pain or itching.

"Why do you like four?"

"I don't like it." As soon as the problem is spoken, it hits a wall again.

Nangong Qian shook her head: "The homonym is unlucky, and the killer industry is also a bit superstitious." ”

"And you still choose this? Is this called rebellious psychology? ”

"Because I remember it clearly."

Nangong Qian suddenly turned her head to the side.

"When you defused the bomb, you cut a total of four lines before and after." "I remember it clearly," she said. ”
