Chapter 16 The Law of Contrast and the Cross Structure

"No matter what, I'm going to follow you anyway." Tang Chuhong smiled evilly, and then grabbed my arm, "Boss, you are not allowed to run." ”

I looked in the direction of the elevator and said with a smile:

"The question is, who among you would dare to approach the elevator with me? If there is a ghost behind the elevator door that I open, in order to avoid being attacked by the ghost, then what you should do is to hide away when I open the door, but if you do that, I may run into the elevator alone and close the door. ”

Hearing my words, Tang Chuhong couldn't help but shudder, then shook his head and said:

"That'...... I don't care. Anyway, if you can't even get past the boss, then we definitely can't pass it. Then even if I lose this level, I will admit it. ”

When Tang Chuhong's words fell, Qin Shuya had already stood on my other side with a smile, her hands were staggered behind her back, and she did not hold my arm like Tang Chuhong, somewhat maintaining a ladylike image in front of outsiders. On top of that, four other women approached me. One of the contestants hailed from Kenya was sparsely dressed with darker skin, a cropped short-sleeved shirt, and her motorcycle-like streamlined figure was enough to make any man wild and restless. The second place is from Turkmenistan with healthy sun-skinned skin, and the other is from Finland and is a white-haired girl wearing a silver-trimmed plush coat. The last girl is from Cambodia Village, and her face is closer to that of an Asian girl, with a pair of black eyes and a black ponytail.

"That...... God, let me follow you. I really adore you......"

"Your Majesty, I'm also a fan of yours......"

A few girls gathered towards me in a huff, with a touch of a woman's begging on their faces, and the animal-like posture was enough to make the average man lose his mind.

Seeing a few girls grabbing the position around me so quickly, the remaining five girls in the distance suddenly couldn't stand, and they rushed forward angrily, pushing and shoving at the girls next to me:

"Hey, you're too vile and shameless! Why do you go first! You don't know him......"

"yes, get out of here, I'm going to ...... too"

"Hey, boss, you're really popular." Tang Chuhong approached me and said with a somewhat unhappy expression.

I waved my hand and smiled helplessly:

"What's the solution? Women are born with an inferior nature to get closer to excellent genes. This is the root cause of the lack of male sexual resources. ”

I looked at Tilan Shengxue on the side and said:

"Lord Angel, you see, how is this going to be?"

Tiran Shengxue glanced at me coldly, and said without a good look:

"Fix it yourself. I've told you the rules. I also need to remind you that if you stay on a single floor for more than three minutes and you don't enter the elevator during that time, the ghosts will come out of the elevator and attack you. The race has begun. ”

After finishing speaking, Tiran Shengxue's figure disappeared into the corridor, and the entire space seemed to suddenly become quiet and empty.

As the Tilan Snow vanished, the atmosphere in the corridor suddenly became eerie. Tang Chuhong grabbed my hand in a bit of a panic and said:

"Boss...... Just now the angel said that if we stay on this floor for more than three minutes, a ghost will come out...... Then we can only go first now......"

A player from Bangladesh walked up to me with a frown, looked at me uncomfortably, and then said to the other female players:

"I've just checked, and the walls of this place can't be marked. Even if you spit on the ground, or leave strands of hair, the spit and strands of hair will disappear. So here, you can only rely on your own memory to distinguish which area of which floor you are in. ”

Tang Chuhong rolled up his sleeves, crossed his waist and looked at this Bangladeshi male player, and said provocatively:

"Why, you want to follow our boss too?"

The Bengali player snorted, looked at me unconvinced, and said:

"I'm just warning you out of politeness. I don't need your handouts. ”

After speaking, the Bengali player took the lead towards the nearest elevator door, and then in front of the elevator door, he pressed the button from the fourth floor to the first floor.

The elevator only took ten seconds to arrive. With the sound of "ding-" opening the door, the elevator door opened.

Several girls immediately grabbed my arms and sleeves nervously and whimpered in panic.

I smiled wryly:

"What are you afraid of. There is absolutely no problem with the elevator on the first floor. After all, it is necessary to use the falling speed of the elevator on the first floor as a reference to compare the descending speed of the subsequent elevator. Even if there are ghosts, it will inevitably start with the second elevator you take. ”

Tang Chuhong pinched my shoulders hard and said:

"That's, that's it...... I'm a little panicked, too. I was most afraid of seeing the elevator doors open. ”

Qin Shuya smiled elegantly and said:

"Probably too many horror movies."

Tang Chuhong pushed my back and said:

"Then when this Bengali player goes up, let's choose the elevator he is taking, shall we? Anyway, he's already taken it, so there shouldn't be a safety problem. ”

Tang Chuhong's voice fell, and a Tunisian player already ran quickly in the direction of the elevator, and he said with interest:

"I can finally get a point, don't rob me of anyone!"

After finishing speaking, he had already rushed to the elevator where the Bengali player was riding, and pressed the elevator door panel as fast as he could.

"It's not good, let's go, he will take the lead!" Seeing this, Tang Chuhong was very anxious, and hurriedly pulled me to run forward. But I grabbed her arm and said lightly:

"Not true. This elevator ...... Not quite right. Descent speed...... It's getting faster. ”

"Huh?" Tang Chuhong's face froze suddenly, she immediately turned her head, and a pair of eyes stared at the display board of the elevator, but she had missed the opportunity to observe, because the moment she turned her head, the elevator door suddenly opened, and the Tunisian player who rushed to the elevator door was standing in the center of the elevator door at the moment.

The moment the elevator door opened, I noticed a strange eye suddenly appear in the crack of the elevator door!

The height of this eye actually reached the highest point of the elevator door, that is, it was two meters high! And this eye has approached the top of the elevator door, and the distance from the top of the door is less than half a centimeter, that is, if this is a person's eye, then this person's eye to the top of the head is only half a centimeter long!

"Eyes!" Qin Shuya snorted lightly and covered her lips.

The next moment, a black arm burst out of the crack in the door at an alarming speed, grabbed the Tunisian by the neck, and then jerked inward!

At that moment, as if grasping a willow branch, the Tunisian player's neck was broken at a 90-degree angle, and he was pulled into the crack of the door!

The black arm appeared so fast that ordinary people couldn't even see its details clearly, and the neck chosen by Tunisia was stiffly elongated like a rubber band, and then as the carotid artery burst, the rich blood spurted out a distance of two meters and rushed straight to the ceiling, dyeing the snow-white ceiling into a shocking blood red!

"Ahh The girls around screamed, and the entire neck of the Tunisian player was pulled into the elevator, and the head and body, just like that, were separated.

Death, began to spread in the corridors.

"Dead ......"

"Dead!" The crowd around them was already in a mess. "He's dead!"

"Ghost!" Tang Chuhong's face turned pale with fright, and she grabbed my sleeve tightly, "Boss, did you see it?" There was a hand just now, and it passed in a flash! ”

"Well, I see, it's a woman's hand." I said, "yes, I saw it all." ”

And in the midst of the screams, the elevator doors closed again, and the body of the Tunisian player who fell to the ground melted and disappeared like snow in the spring light.

As the Tunisian runner disappeared, Tiran Shengxue's voice resounded in the corridor:

"The Tunisian player is out. Sudan wins. ”

After finishing speaking, among the many players in the corridor, the figure of a yellow-skinned male player also disappeared in an instant.

"The game continues." As the Sudanese disappeared, Tiran Shengxue's voice rang out again.

"It is important to note that each elevator can only carry a maximum of eight people. If the number of people is exceeded, the elevator will not start. In addition, if no one is standing within one meter of the elevator, the elevator doors will not open. ”

Tiran Shengxue said lightly.

"How, what should I do?" A female contestant suddenly burst into tears in fright, "An elevator can only take so many people...... But I'm so nervous right now that I don't even have the heart to compete, what should I do......"

I smiled and said:

"The real test of this game is not just the computing power, but the stability of the calculations. In terms of computing power alone, this level is not difficult. ”

"What then?" Tang Chuhong shrank nervously and said.

I spread my hands and said:

"Whoever kisses me, I'll guarantee that she wins the game."

As soon as my words fell, Tang Chuhong and the five female players around me immediately walked towards me, even Qin Shuya showed a charming smile, I hurriedly stretched out my hands, made a pause gesture, and said:

"Alright, it's enough for me to see your attitude."

Qin Shuya stood delicately and said with a smile:

"Then may I ask, wise Mr. Kamino Yue, what magic weapon do you have?"

I laughed and said:

"Quite simply, it's the cooperative comparison method. You see, the structure of this corridor is cross-shaped, and the corridor can lead to four directions, south, east, west, and north, and there is an elevator in each direction. The distance between the eastern elevator and the western elevator is almost 100 meters, and although the players standing in the east and west cannot see the numbers on each other's elevator displays, they can still communicate with gestures. Therefore, as long as the method of cooperation between two and two is adopted, two players stand at the door of two elevators at the same time, press the elevator descending button at the same time, and then compare the two elevators coming down from the same floor, you can know which elevator is faster, so as to judge which elevator has a ghost in it. And players who find that they have ghosts in the elevator can immediately turn around and flee to the elevator without ghosts on the other side and quickly enter it, so that they can avoid risks. ”

Qin Shuya seemed to understand something, she smiled slightly, and did not interrupt my words.

Tang Chuhong rolled his eyes and said:

"But there's a problem. What if there are ghosts in both elevators, or even in all three? Then the elevator will descend at the same speed. ”

Qin Shuya said:

"So, it's a collaboration of at least five people. Either way, it's impossible for all four elevators to have ghosts at the same time and not give us a way out, right? Therefore, there should be one person standing at the door of the four elevators in the southeast, northwest, and northwest of this cross corridor, and then one person should also stand in the center of the cross corridor. This person is mainly responsible for telling the other three people which one of them has the earliest arrival time of the elevator. In other words, this cooperation, which requires at least five talents, is the safest and least risky. And this game, as long as the number of people is reduced to sixteen, it can be over. Therefore, as long as the cooperation of the five people is maintained, they can naturally get the point ranking safely after the time point, so as to avoid the danger of being killed by ghosts. ”

I smiled, glanced at Qin Shuya, and said:

"Yes, you understand what I mean. Of course, it's a shame that, as far as I'm concerned, I don't need to work together at all. Because according to Qin Shuya's cooperation method, the points obtained are only one-fifth of them every time. This efficiency is very low. ”

Tang Chuhong grabbed my arm and said:

"Are you going to leave us behind and go on your own? Don't be so selfish, Boss......"

"Of course it won't ......," I said with a smile, "how could I possibly make a shameful act of abandoning a pretty girl and a lovely follower?" Not only did I have to win, but every time, I had to bring eight people with me. ”

Walsh on the side sneered:

"Eight people? Where did you get your faith? If you don't cooperate, but rely on you alone. Then you have to bear the risk that the elevator you are waiting for may have ghosts, and then move on to the next one, and if there are still ghosts, you will waste time in the process of going to the next one. Moreover, your bigger disadvantage is that other elevators choose five people to ride, and you choose eight people, then you will only score one out of eight each time, while others, one out of five. It won't be long before your score is stretched far away. The two major disadvantages are here, where do you get the confidence to win? ”

I smiled and said:

"It can't be, can it? Well, let's know it. ”

So next, the thirty people in the corridor began to move separately. The eight-member team, with me as the team, walked towards an elevator, while Walsh and the others were still in the same place to distribute the personnel of the five-person group. Because it is a five-person group, among the remaining twenty-two people, there will be two people who are destined not to enter the group, and these two people, often players with strong brainpower, are confident enough to be able to judge whether the elevator is safe just by relying on their own brainpower, so they give up cooperation.

When we arrived at the first elevator, Tang Chuhong couldn't help but say:

"I just calculated how fast everyone walks, and I see that everyone is just as fast. It seems that in this space, the speed of movement of each of us is limited. ”

I laughed and said:

'Of course, it's a game where you need to avoid the physical factor as much as possible. If the physical factor alone can catch up with the other players and avoid getting caught by the ghosts, then the game is meaningless. ”

As the elevator doors closed, the elevator we were on sank down five floors at the first time, after which the elevator doors automatically opened, signaling that we could get out. And there is no button board inside the elevator, that is to say, these elevators are one-way elevators, and it is not possible to manually control which floor the elevator will stop on. And when all of us get out of the elevator, the elevator doors automatically close, and then automatically go up and back. Obviously, the next time you open the same elevator, it is unknown whether there is a ghost in that elevator.

"It's really scary, it's actually a fully automatic elevator...... "Tang Chuhong said tremblingly." It's like a haunting...... Could it be that there was a ghost in the elevator we just took just now, but it was just invisible? As he spoke, Tang Chuhong also stuck out his tongue vigorously, pinched his neck, and made a movement that imitated a hanged ghost.

With my eyesight, we passed three elevators without any ghosts. I don't know when it began, every time I walked a section, a ranking board would appear on the wall of the corridor, showing the score rankings of all the players.

Out of the thirty people, the team I represented was the last to score. Obviously, four of the other 22 groups did choose to cooperate.

And the top two people are the two who act alone. These two competitors have no one else to share their scores, so as long as they don't consume time running to and from the elevator, they have the highest scores.

"No, it's too far away, go on like this...... We're going to be farther and farther away. Looking at the rankings and scores on the display, the Finnish woman with a white scarf began to look apprehensive and suspicious.

I couldn't help but laugh:

"Really? Do you really think so? Soon, you'll know the answer. Of course, if you don't believe me, you can now opt out of the team. Miss Scarf,"

Looking at my confident expression, the Finnish female player didn't say anything, but continued to team up with us and brushed the score again for ten minutes. During these ten minutes, we were naturally extremely safe. However, the score with the other teams in front of him is constantly increasing.

At this time, the female player from Turkmenistan was a little breathless, and she said with tears in her eyes:

"No, I can't. My score has been pulled away too much by my competitors, and if I continue like this, I will be further and further away. He gets 0.2 points every time, and I only get 0.125 points, so if this continues, I'm going to lose......"

Just as the voice of the Turkmenistan female player fell, the ranking on the display board suddenly changed amazingly.

The players from the three countries were eliminated at the same time!

Tiran Shengxue's voice rang out from the display board:

"Mongolian, Libya, and Chadian players were killed by ghosts and are out. Turkmenistan, Finland and Kenya won. ”

I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I heard the news.

Looking at the three female players who disappeared into the air, Tang Chuhong said in shock:

"Huh? How did you win? This...... Boss, how did you do that? ”

I smiled and didn't answer directly, while Tang Chuhong ran tightly by my side, holding my arm, and couldn't help but say:

"Tell me, boss, how do you know they're going to win? Don't...... Do you secretly cooperate with other players? ”

"Nope." I smiled and shook my head.

Tang Chuhong looked at me with wide eyes and said:

"And how did you do that?"

Qin Shuya on the side said with a smile:

"It's not that hard. Wuyue, he had already expected the next change in the pattern. Just do the math a little bit. Excluding our group of eight, there were twenty-two left, twenty of whom were divided into four groups of five, while the other two were playing individually. But the problem is that these two people who compete alone are players who are very confident in their abilities, and like Kannatsuki, they can calculate the speed of the elevator by their own ability, so they don't need to cooperate. In this way, there will inevitably be two people in the four five-person teams who will feel nervous when they see their competitors pulling their scores bigger and bigger, so the five-person team will inevitably separate and become a four-person team. In this way, once it becomes a group of four, then there will inevitably be a blind spot on the way through the crosswalk, and there is an elevator that will never be visible. So, if three of the four elevators happen to have ghosts, guess what happens to the three players who are standing at the elevator door and find that they are all at the same speed? ”

Tang Chuhong suddenly realized:

"They...... It will be annihilated! ”

I glanced at Qin Shuya appreciatively, and then said:

"As long as the number of players left does not meet the whole number of five, then cooperate ...... It didn't exist in the first place. ”

"Now that three of the five-person teams have died, and there are two left, then, the remaining two people, naturally, will also quickly increase their scores, then, naturally, there will be two more five-person teams that will become nervous, and give up scoring stability in order to want a high score, so as to disband again, hahahaha...... Got it? ”

Just as my voice fell, the voice of Tiran Shengxue came from the display board again:

"Afghan, Somalia, Ukrainian players are out. Cambodia, Paraguay and Malaysia won. ”

As Tiran Shengxue's words fell, the two female players from Cambodia and Paraguay in my team also disappeared into the air, and only me, Tang Chuhong and Qin Shuya were left in the huge corridor.

"Hehe, I didn't expect another team to be destroyed. What an unfortunate thing. Humanity repeats the same tragedy all the time. I sighed helplessly.

Tang Chuhong looked at me in a daze, and said in disbelief:

"Did you anticipate the current situation when you first planned to form a group of eight?"

I smiled and said:

"Or else? Do you really think I'm trying to open a harem? ”

was asked by me rhetorically, and Tang Chuhong was suddenly speechless.

"This ......"

I spread my hands and said with a smile:

"Well, in fact, it's not bad to open a harem, I'll think about it carefully."

Tang Chuhong suddenly narrowed her eyes, looked at me with contempt, she hugged her chest and said:

"Boss, I find that you have become more and more indecent in the past few years."

"You've been following me for so many years?" I asked with a smile.

Tang Chuhong's face suddenly flushed, she clasped her hands to her chest, snorted lightly, turned her head and stopped talking, obviously afraid of saying too much and making more mistakes.

Qin Shuya looked at me with a smile and said:

"Anyway, I was optimistic about you from the beginning."

The situation changed dramatically all of a sudden, and with six players eliminated and six players out, there were suddenly only eighteen players left in the thirty-man race. Among them, three are the remnants of the original five-person team, three are the team represented by me, Tang Chuhong and Qin Shuya, two five-person teams, and two strong people who acted alone from the beginning.

Obviously, one of the five-person squads did not realize the reason for the sudden successive deaths of the other teams, and they also lost three people not long afterward, so that in this game, there were only twelve people left.

Among the remaining twelve, the only remaining five-person team also realized the disadvantages of cooperation, so they began to gradually disband and act alone.

As a result, the original group of four or five people, in the end, actually collapsed and disappeared completely.

"If we all get smarter, if we all go our separate ways, then it's not that simple." Qin Shuya sighed, "There are still twelve people left, how should you deal with it?" And, I think one of the two solo players is Russia's Walsh. ”

I smiled and said:

"Just look at it. I can bet that soon there will be another dead man. ”

Just as my voice fell, we walked to the corner of a corridor, and when we looked to the left, we saw an elevator at the end of the corridor, and at the door of the elevator, there was an Ecuadorian male player, and in the next moment, the elevator door suddenly opened, and a black shadow rushed out at a very high speed like a cheetah, the Ecuadorian male player suddenly screamed, turned around and ran, but the speed of the shadow that rushed out of the elevator was too amazing, It quickly grabbed the Ecuadorian by the shoulders from behind and jerked him backwards!

Tang Chuhong couldn't help but exclaim, because at this moment, we all saw the image of the thing that jumped out of the elevator.

This is a woman dressed in white with a disheveled head, but what is extremely strange is that the contours of this woman's face do not have a perspective line, that is to say, her face image is like a Picasso painting, which is an extremely asymmetrical and incongruous combination form!

The white-clothed and long-haired female ghost suddenly attached itself to the Ecuadorian player's back, and in the next moment, the female ghost's facial muscles split to the sides like a flytrap, forming a vertical mouth, biting the Ecuadorian player's neck!

"Help!" The Ecuadorian player let out a terrible scream, he was bitten by the female ghost in the neck, the artery was bitten off instantly, and the neck bone was broken at a 90-degree angle! The astonishing blood spurted out a full two meters away, and the next moment, the female ghost pulled him fiercely with incredible force, and quickly retracted back into the elevator!

Dingβ€”β€”

As the elevator doors closed again, the red blood on the ground and the shoes that Ecuadorians had dropped on the ground melted into the ground and disappeared completely.

Tang Chuhong was so frightened that she hid behind me, trembling all over, and Tilan Shengxue's voice immediately rang out:

"Ecuador is out, New Zealand wins."

"Wow, another ......" Tang Chuhong pinched my arm, she was so frightened that she almost fainted. Did you just see that? The female ghost...... It's ...... It's just scary...... It's scary...... She doesn't have a face at all! ”

Qin Shuya smiled bitterly and said:

"It feels like an inferior Korean horror movie. It seems that the organizers of this tournament have a very unique taste. ”

I shrugged my shoulders, and then strode towards the direction of the elevator, and Tang Chuhong grabbed my arm and said:

"Hey, don't go! Why go to that elevator, maybe the female ghost is still inside! ”

I shook my head and said:

"Afraid of what? When the elevator is closed, it will automatically ascend to another floor and then descend again. At that time, the female ghost may not have been inside, she may have gone to another floor. ”

"But...... I'm still scared. Tang Chuhong whimpered.

Tang Chuhong had no resistance to ghosts, and she was already stiff with fright at this moment.

Of course, as I expected, when the elevator went down again, the female ghost inside had disappeared. Not to mention the female ghost, the elevator is so clean that there is not even a drop of blood.

There were only 10 players left. There is no doubt that among the remaining ten people, all of them will be elite-level, and it will not be so easy to continue to eliminate players.

And since I haven't won yet, it means that Walsh is still alive and still in the game. Walsh was also one of two players to score points on his own.

After leaving the elevator, Tang Chuhong's expression looked a little better, and she said nervously:

"Boss, what should I do? That Walsh's score is already relatively high, although your efficiency is also very high, but with us, if you want to win him now...... I'm afraid it's not a small difficulty......"

I smiled and said:

"Not really. There are many people, and there is also the advantage of many people. ”

"The advantage of being crowded?" Tang Chuhong looked at me puzzled.

I laughed and said:

"Not bad. That is, it falls faster. The more people there are, the faster the elevator falls, in fact. And, because of the gravitational acceleration, the more floors you pass through the elevator, the more floors you will fall. The score will also be higher. It's a hidden rule. The more people there are, the more layers you can pass through in the same short amount of time. It's just that a large number of people will also lead to a slower rate of rise, so when we were eight people just now, this advantage was not reflected. Because I deliberately walked the ascending channel. ”

Tang Chuhong said wonderingly as he walked:

"However, we don't know every time the floor goes up and down, and we don't know how many floors will fall, how can this narrow the gap?"

Qin Shuya shook her head and said:

"There's a way. Just look at the speed of the other players. For example, Walsh brushed ten points in one breath, indicating that he had passed through ten floors. Kannatsuki deliberately made the players go from teaming up to scattering, just to know which players had passed through the most floors. The other players have all become Kinakatsuki's radar detectors. ”

I nodded, then smiled;

"Not bad. Moreover, what I am going to walk is the descending floor, not the ascending floor. The elevator will slow down when it goes up and faster when it goes down. So, let's go next, just go down the floor. Through the score difference of other players, I have already built the routes of all players. ”

Qin Shuya stood beside me and said with an ambiguous look in her eyes:

"And, it looks like Walsh has slowed down their scoring speed."

I nodded and said:

"It's inevitable. Everyone has a psychology of self-preservation. Now Walsh and I have pulled away from the score. Then, there is no need for him to rush to score points, because he does not want to compete for the first place. He could slow down, just sway slowly down the corridor. When my score goes up a little bit, he also spends a little bit of speed, so that his safety is the highest, and at the same time, he can always maintain the advantage, which is the most rational way to do it. Now, it's time for us to brush up on points. ”
