Chapter 31: Suspicion of Cheating (I)
"Passage 6, Xie Jiayin. org "The electronic synthesis girl sounded.
Xie Jiayin took a few steps towards the entrance of Passage 7, but stopped again and said to me, "Thank you." β
The tone of the crying made people sigh.
At the same time as Xie Jiayin's figure disappeared, Xu Wen's voice sounded: "Can't help but start sympathizing with her?" β
"What, aren't you going to go in?" I ignored Xu Wen's teasing, but seeing that Xu Wen hadn't moved yet, I couldn't help but be a little curious, and at the same time thought: Now that Munro is present, does he want to join forces with Munro to do something?
For example: snatch the Gurkha scimitar from my hand?
"Don't be so vigilant, we're not interested in the knife in your hand." Xu Wen obviously saw that I was a little wary, "Passage 1 has not been closed until now, so I don't have to worry about being locked up here." β
"Do you want to go through another passage?" I said deliberately.
"Rule-makers wouldn't be so stupid as to leave such a glaring loophole. I'm sure there must be other mechanisms in those passages that keep those who enter safe. β
This sentence was not so much an answer to me as it was for Munro, because from the moment the passage was opened, Munro's eyes were fixed on those who entered the passage one by one......
The electronic synthesis female voice rang out: "Passage 7, Munro." β
"You go first, it's okay - Detective Ji is also an alliance with us, right? See you in the night. Xu Wen said to Munro.
Munro gave me a deep look with a warning look before turning and entering passage 7 with great speed.
Waiting for Manluo to leave, Xu Wen spoke: "I just have a doubt, I want to corroborate it with you - have you noticed the number of rooms downstairs?" β
At first glance, it seemed a bit abrupt, but in a blink of an eye, I figured it out: "You mean, these passages on the second floor will eventually lead to those rooms downstairs?" β
The total number of downstairs rooms is 10.
But that number doesn't match the 12 people we started with, and the number of 8 people we have surviving now.
As if seeing my doubts, Xu Wen suddenly smiled: "You forgot?" The total number of identity cards is only 10. β
This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and my brain exploded, and a hot breath rose from my back, and sweat drops suddenly oozed from my forehead!
I...... Unexpectedly...... I didn't find the fact that there were only 10 ID cards in total!!
3 Werewolf cards.
3 Civilian cards.
1 Prophet, 1 Night's Watch, 1 Gravedigger, 1 Servant.
A total of 10 identity cards!
"There are only 10 ID cards, but there are 12 of us - so, two of us don't have ID cards!" Xu Wen looked at me, his eyes narrowed, "Are you one of them, Detective Ji?" β
I suppressed the shock in my heart, stabilized my mind, and tried not to let Xu Wen see my weakness: "When you say this, I also have a doubt: how can a player without an identity card be considered a winner?" β
Although I have overlooked a major clue, after all, the most important first "night" and the first "trial" have not yet begun, and I have not made an irreparable mistake, and there is still room for everything, as long as I am careful in the next game.
It is a good choice to use rhetorical questions as a cover-up.
During this time, I took the time to digest this information in my brain and carefully calculate the changes that this variable would bring to the whole human-wolf game.
Xu Wendao: "This is one of the reasons why I want to stay. Tell me what you think about it first β but be careful, we're running out of time. β
That's right, since the passage opened, there were only 10 minutes left before the "night" fell, and it is estimated that about 4 minutes have been used up now.
As if to confirm my inference, the electronic synthesis female voice sounded: "Channel 8, Yoshimitsu." Please also note that there are only 5 minutes and 30 seconds left until 'night' falls, so be sure to arrive at the designated location before the time runs out, otherwise you will be executed on the spot! β
I couldn't help but speed up my words: "The first possibility - the player without an identity card can help the werewolf or villager side to win at will, as long as either the werewolf or the villager wins, the player without identity will also win." β
"The second possibility, a player without an ID card, needs to destroy all werewolves and all villagers at the same time in order to win. There is such a rule in the game of man-wolf, that is, the rule of 'Cupid and the lover', Cupid and the two lovers form a third party force other than the werewolf and the villagers, and they need to destroy all the werewolves and villagers in order to win. β
The third possible answer is in this channel! In the previous dim room, 4 people died, right? That is to say, the identity cards of those 4 people are actually useless - but what if people without identity cards can regain their identity in the passage? β
When I said this, Xu Wen's face finally changed: "You mean-you can get the identity card of the dead?" β
I nodded.
Xu Wen lowered his head in contemplation.
In the meantime, both of us started walking towards our own numbered passages.
Xu Wen's thinking didn't take too long, and he raised his head again: "I have thought of the three possibilities you analyzedβbut the third possibility is very different from what I expected. I originally thought that players without identity might get a chance to re-choose their identity in the channel, but your analysis makes more sense - the makers of this game should not change the rules for no reason, so the total number of identity cards should not change, and at most it will be to reuse the identity cards of the dead! As a result, we players won't be able to detect what they're doing! β
Xu Wen continued: "In other words, this so-called 'million wolf game' actually leaves a backdoor for cheating!" Those 2 players who don't have ID cards are cheating props! β
Truly.
Assuming that the game can cheat, then some very strange things are explained.
Why can Munro set a trap at the beginning?
Where did he get his weapons? Why was he the first to enter that dimly lit room and ambush him?
That's not all! The most important thing is - how did Munro know that he could do all this as long as he left the starting room first?!
The biggest possibility, in fact, has already jumped in front of you!
"Munro, he's a cheater!"
"Munro is an IDLESS person!"
Xu Wen and I said the above two sentences at almost the same time, and as soon as we finished speaking, a smile of understanding appeared on our faces at the same time.
