Shen Lingshuang looked at Huang Lao with wide eyes, and was so surprised that her mouth couldn't close. As soon as he opened his mouth, he was rubbish, merciless, and this kind of vitriol style was difficult to connect with the old man in front of him who had always been fairy-spirited. It's just that what she didn't expect was that the old man's performance was just the beginning.

"I'm sorry, I'm not targeting you."

Huang Lao pretended to say politely, and then added a more excessive sentence with a cold face.

"I mean, both of you who participated in this game are rubbish."

"You!"

A brief moment of anger flashed through Xiang Nanxing's heart, burning like a raging fire. Huang Lao's sarcasm came without warning, and it was very different from the previous image of the kind old man, and in contrast, this comment that was by no means vicious actually aroused his anger. Xiang Nanxing waited for Huang Lao with angry eyes, and was about to say something to fight back, but the whole person suddenly seemed to be poured cold water on his face, and immediately calmed down again.

This sentence must have another purpose, it is a temptation, or something else, in short, you can't be easily emotional...... Xiang Nanxing's brain was spinning rapidly, but Huang Lao looked at his appearance and sneered again.

"It's not stupid to spend all your precious thinking in such a place."

Huang Lao took out his pipe and lit it, put it in his mouth and took a deep breath, raised his head and spit out a big smoke ring. This is the first time Xiang Nanxing has seen the host make such a move that seems to be part of ordinary people's daily life, and despite his emotional instability, he still subconsciously opened his eyes wide and was unwilling to let go of any small detail. Huang Lao's action of lighting the pipe was very rough, just like the large flame that suddenly rose from the old-fashioned lighter, revealing an elder-like arrogant taste. After lighting it, he smashed the lighter directly to the side, and seemed to be very irritable.

However, the breath he took was unexpectedly smooth and long, not at all like the reaction that should be felt when the emotions were intense.

This made Xiang Nanxing vaguely feel a hint of contradiction.

However, Shen Lingshuang next to him was already dumbfounded. "The Pipe of the Old Yellow Calendar" is a popular legend among young hosts. It is said that this old man was originally a great addict to smoking, and he was not the kind character he is now. But he made a big ambition because of something, and from then on he would only take out his pipe and smoke it happily when he saw someone or something he particularly admired. Among the young hosts of this generation, it is said that only that Sister Qiu has ever been treated like this.

Could it be that Huang Lao looked vicious on the surface at this time, but in fact it was the opposite, he had already developed a heart of love for talents, so he wanted to raise this young man in a more effective way?

"Old gentleman."

Xiang Nanxing was patient and said in a polite tone: "For you, my thinking and struggle may indeed not be worth mentioning. But can I dare to ask you, what serious mistakes did I make in my speculation that made you make such an assessment? ”

"Nothing seriously wrong, basically correct. It can even be said that it is surprisingly close to reality. ”

"Then why ...... again" Xiang Nanxing was puzzled.

"Because it doesn't work."

Huang Lao sneered and took another long puff of his pipe. This deliberately empty space is the time he left for the two to comprehend. Shen Lingshuang's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have understood the meaning of his words, and the impatience on Xiang Nanxing's face disappeared at this moment. He looked up at the ceiling with a complicated expression, clearly thinking of something.

Looking at the two people who behaved differently but were both enlightened, he lowered his head and gently shook off a little cigarette ash, and forcibly suppressed a smile that was almost on the corner of his mouth, trying to play a role that he was not good at.

"Figured it out. Even if you guess the killer's mentality and accurately predict the situation in the cell, it won't help you in this game. Huang Lao said coldly, "You know that it is impossible for us as hosts to interfere in the player's game process, and the reason why we stopped the murder just now was only because the game was still theoretically variable, and it was not time to announce the end - not to save you." In this case, the most important thing you should do is to look for every opportunity to get out of the current situation, instead of fantasizing about impressing us with your performance and letting us help you out. I can answer you with a high degree of certainty that as a qualified host, this is absolutely impossible to happen during the course of the game. ”

"Since your thinking is so clear, I think you should have figured it out at this time. The game you're in isn't like the previous ones, it's a mature work that has been carefully designed by the host and verified by many real games. It's very crude, with only rudimentary provisions, and it's an impromptu remedy for an emergency, so there's a lot to be taken advantage of. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to Shen Lingshuang next to him, who had already lowered his head in shame. Fortunately, Huang Lao did not intend to directly criticize her business level in this situation, he just paused for a moment, and then continued.

"The game begins with a real killer who captures a prisoner who's just been released not long ago, like you, and intent on killing him. In principle, we don't approve of indiscriminate killing outside of games, but due to lack of manpower, we have had to turn a blind eye in the past. But this time it was different, Lingshuang happened to be nearby, and she decided to intervene in this matter, so she started negotiations with the killer. ”

"The person is in the hands of the other party, and he is already inside the villa, even if the host has an absolute advantage in combat power and can easily break through, but along the way, it is inevitable that he will be dragged down by some mechanisms set up in advance by the murderer. The Killer has plenty of time to kill those he catches. This can be regarded as the passivity of the rescuer's side. So as a last resort, the host of Lingshuang gambled with the killer and reached an agreement, which is the game you participate in at this time. ”

Xiang Nanxing nodded silently in his heart. In this way, a lot of things make sense. For example, why the rules of the game sounded so vague this time, and Shen Lingshuang's strange attitude when he persuaded him to participate in the game.

Huang Lao continued: "So you can also think of it. This time there is no reward for the rescuer, and rescuing people is the biggest reward in itself. And the reward on the killer's side is also very simple, that is, the right to kill people approved by the host. In order to make her, who could have killed one person, agree to this game, the host as the rule-maker inevitably had to make a concession, that is, to add the role of the rescuer, which not only increased her hope of winning, but also gave the killer a chance to increase his income. ”

When he said this, Shen Lingshuang secretly glanced at Xiang Nanxing with some uneasiness. In the final analysis, this matter can also be regarded as her tricking Xiang Nanxing, who was originally exploring the surrounding environment in a good manner, but she was tricked into this game, and she had to risk her life.

But she can't be blamed, after all, it's all Sister Qiu......

But Shen Lingshuang was still too worried. During the whole process, Xiang Nanxing just looked at Huang Lao quietly, as if he didn't notice her apprehension at all. "So what, so what?" He retorted, "That's interesting, but with all due respect, it doesn't mean anything to win the game. ”

Huang Lao shrugged noncommittally: "Do you remember the part of the rules for rescuers that were announced before participating in the game? ”

"Yes."

"Tell me about it."

"One, the goal of the rescuer is to rescue the trapped person; Two, the game is only won when both of them leave the villa; Third, when one of the players leaves the villa and the other has not left, the former must return to the villa to continue the game. Xiang Nanxing summed up what Shen Lingshuang said to him at that time in just a few words. Huang Lao nodded slightly.

"So, the best way to win is on the horizon."

"I can't do that."

"What if you have to do that?"

The two seem to be playing dumb riddles, and no one says anything back and forth, but they know it tacitly. In the end, Xiang Nanxing couldn't help it. "Even if I have to, I'm going to find another way." "Otherwise, I'll be a real murderer." ”

Shen Lingshuang almost shouted out beside him. As the rule-maker, she was running the game on her own for the first time, so she didn't notice that she had left such a big hole in the rules of the game until now!

According to the rules, the killer must not only kill people during the game, but must also strictly control the lethal actions against the human body, but in the rules for rescuers, there is no such content at all! Huang Lao's so-called best way to win is actually very simple. That is to take advantage of the asymmetry between the two sides in terms of rules, ruthlessly kill the killer, and then kill the killer first. This may not be easy to do, but it is better than dragging a potentially weak trapped man to flee in a home field known to the enemy, and then reluctantly facing it when he has no choice but to end up with two people retreating...... Taking advantage of the asymmetry between the two sides in terms of the severity of the attack to directly kill the murderer may still be an easier goal to achieve.

Judging from Xiang Nanxing's answer, it was not that he had not thought about this at all, but his sense of morality did not allow him to make such a move, even if he tried to put it in the name of legitimate defense.

And the meaning of Huang Lao's previous words is also obvious at this time. In his opinion, Xiang Nanxing does not think about the best chance to win, but puts his mind on other places, which is purely a misuse of talent, and it is fundamentally wrong. Just as he had finished another puff of cigarette, he extinguished the pipe and put it back into his waist.

"It's really rotten wood that can't be carved."

He sighed, walked over and squatted down, and then his right hand suddenly stabbed out like lightning, choking Xiang Nanxing's throat. This sudden surprise, Xiang Nanxing can't avoid it even if he is in good condition, not to mention that he is now fully controlled. He only felt that his breath was cut off all of a sudden, and the world in front of him became blurred almost instantly, and even his consciousness was only lingering, and he was about to fly away at any moment.

"Huang Lao, this ......"

Shen Lingshuang was shocked, and was about to subconsciously step forward to save people, but Huang Lao just glanced back at her, and the threatening meaning contained in it turned into a powerful oppressive force, but firmly pinned her trembling feet to the spot.

Huang Lao turned his head, as if his emotionless eyes were staring directly at Xiang Nanxing's already flushed face.

"Sense of morality, murderer, put aside these empty words." He said coldly, "I'll just ask you one thing. ”

"If you die like this, are you willing?"
