Chapter 12: The Forgotten Clue
Jiang Liu suddenly remembered that at the moment when night came! I seem to have noticed something has changed! It's a pity that I was interrupted by darkness, and I didn't have time to think about it, but now I can't remember it, I just know that somewhere has changed! Probably the key tip!
[What the hell has changed!] You have definitely forgotten some of the key tips! The first night is lustful to death, the second night is afraid of death! They are a man and a woman, could it be that the ghost kills people according to their gender? But that's not right! We only have two women here, and we can't fit this killing law at all. Or is it killing people according to the number of hops? After the 5th, it is the 7th who dies, if it is killed according to this hop count! Then it may be the 9th Resentment who dies tonight! 】
Thinking of this, Jiang Liu moved his gaze to the resentful face not far away on his right side.
[No, it can't be that simple, and since No. 8 died unexpectedly, there is a good chance that the order will be disrupted.] So this speculation is unlikely. The people who have survived now are Arrogance 0, Jealousy 1, Anger 2, Laziness 3, Greed 4, Gluttony 6, and Resentment 9. The devil is among these people! But so far, I haven't figured out the order in which the ghosts kill! 】
"A question occurred to me!" Jealousy, who hadn't spoken for a long time, spoke for the first time.
"What's the problem?" Jiang Liu looked at Jealousy, and he also wanted to know what Jealousy had discovered.
"I started thinking about it when you said the mask was misleading us, but I'm not sure if it's right." Jealousy bites his nails and stares at the texture on the black round table: "Because this idea of mine contradicts your point at the beginning that you said that there is a ghost among us!" The mysterious voice said that it would immediately select one of us to be a ghost, but you said earlier that it was very likely that one of us was ahead of schedule, or that a ghost was arranged among us when we entered this death game, then there is a contradiction in the randomness of what the mysterious voice said! Since there are ghosts, how can it be possible to randomly select a person to be a ghost? Unless ......"
Speaking of this, Jealousy paused, looked around at the others present, and said seriously: "Unless there is not only one ghost among us as we thought at the beginning!" I wondered the number of ghosts at the beginning! I've played killing games before, and it's usually at least two ghosts to keep the game going, otherwise the game itself will be problematic! This is completely illogical! What's more, that mysterious voice didn't say that there was only one ghost at all! ”
The words of jealousy completely woke up Jiang Liu! He got it! Why did he think someone was suspicious at first, but later he found out that he had no reason to kill someone else? And if it's true that jealousy says, there are two ghosts in this game from the start! A real ghost, a fake ghost. Then they can't end the game by finding out the fake ghost, the rules of the game are for them to find the real ghost!
【Damn the rules!】 Completely misled me! I said that there was something wrong with the rules of the game at the beginning! Identifying the wrong death! What about the correct designation? In fact, I should have thought of it a long time ago, the hint of this sentence is already obvious, if I saw it at the time, then I can let the fake ghost directly reveal the identity, and we will identify it, and the fake ghost will probably not die! 】
Jiang Liu told the others what he thought, and the people present were shocked again, and asked angrily and directly: "Then you mean that we have to find out the identities of two ghosts instead of one ghost!" ”
"Hmmm! But I don't think the fake ghosts are much of a threat to us, because I guess it's the real ghosts who kill people! As for the fake ghost, he himself may not even know who the real ghost is! And there's a good chance that the fake ghost is on the death list of the real ghost! Jiang Liu quietly glanced at someone present and continued: "But! Here's another question! ”
"What's the problem?" Jealousy was glad that his opinion was correct, and affirmed his opinion for Jiang Liu, which made him feel a little touched by Jiang Liu. In this case, someone affirms what he thinks and is undoubtedly not a trust in himself! So when he heard that Jiang Liu had other questions, he was the fastest to ask.
"The purpose of the game arranging a fake ghost for us?"
"What do you mean? Didn't you say that false ghosts were just a misleading way to us? Isn't it? ”
Everyone was puzzled, it was Jiang Liu who said the misleading idea before, but now he asked the contradictory question of the purpose of the game arranging fake ghosts! It's not a fucking shot in the foot!
"Uh...... It may be that I didn't make it clear. Jiang Liu looked at everyone, scratched his head and said, "I mean, in addition to misleading, the fake ghost may also prompt us something!" ”
"Still don't understand?"
"Hey, then I'll do it another way!" Jiang Liu thought for a moment and asked a question in a guided way of thinking: "What will happen if we identify a false ghost?" ”
"Like you said, the identification is correct, the fake ghost is fine!" Angry and speak his mind directly.
"That's right! There's a good chance that the fake ghost will be fine! But! Jiang Liu suddenly slowed down his speech and jumped out word by word: "Do you think that the game will be so boring that there will be a recognition result that will not die!" ”
"You mean to say! Will there be other horrible things going on? Jealousy asked a little nervously.
"Well, there's a good chance it's a dead end that the game deliberately gives us! Waiting for us to trigger. ”
"Dead end!" There was some surprise in his jealous tone: "What will happen?" ”
"I don't know." Jiang Liu shook his head and said, "But we can infer little by little, first we have to figure out the difference between the killing methods of fake ghosts and real ghosts!" ”
"How do you kill someone?" Furious laughing.
"Well, about this, in fact, in the way of lust, joy, and fear of the three of them has already reminded us, and the way ghosts kill people is also different."
Speaking of this, Jiang Liu closed his eyes. This is the way of thinking that he has not used for a long time, closing his eyes and five senses are no longer affected by the outside world, and his mind is like turning back time to replay all the details of the incident from the beginning to the present!
It's perverted, isn't it? But this inhuman way of thinking has serious sequelae, so serious that he may lose himself! So Jiang Liu will not easily use this way of thinking at the critical moment, fortunately Jiang Liu himself is very smart, he no longer uses this way 3 years ago, this is the first time he has used it in 3 years, no way! This time the game hints are too complicated and there are too many traps! He had to use this method to re-observe the whole affair.
