Chapter 31: All or Nothing
"Qiu Chuan's death may not be what we saw at the time."
Under Xiao Mo's instructions, Li Shuai described the situation he found in detail to everyone in front of everyone.
Hearing that what they were witnessing might be an illusion that didn't exist, everyone's faces couldn't help but show surprise.
Wang Zi couldn't help but fiddle with the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and after thinking silently, he suddenly said:
"Whether it is the death of those two victims, or the death of Qiu Chuan and that woman, we can say that they were all witnessed. But now that you are saying that they were not killed in the way we saw them, can I interpret you to mean that what we saw then, or even now, was only a false illusion? ”
Hearing this, Cheng Nuan's slender curved eyebrows Xiangshang picked and blurted out:
"It shouldn't be a hallucination."
Of course, Cheng Nuan wasn't sure if what she said was right, so she said her opinion on this matter:
"I think the ability of the ghost is so strong, so miserable, but if it can kill people, then the killed person must have no escape.
Besides, this is not reality, and ghosts are not criminals, so they can deliberately confuse our vision and make us mistakenly think how the victims died.
Anyway, I think that the event will test our response to the ghost mirror game, and even if it is confusing, the focus is on the game, not on the killing after the game, so I don't think the ghost will do that, because it makes no sense. ”
After Cheng Nuan finished speaking, she looked at the people who were thinking about it, for fear that her remarks would be made fun of.
In fact, no one laughed at her, Mu Xue gave Cheng Nuan an an encouraging look, and then she took over the topic and said:
"If it's a hallucination or something, I wonder if we're in someone's dream, because dreams are illusory."
Hearing Mu Xue mention the dream, Li Shuai and Xiao Mo easily remembered it. The incident they carried out in the Great Wilderness Mountain, the event in which they and several of the victims were trapped in a nightmare of a person, and all kinds of hallucinations appeared in the dream.
But that event, the nightmare bearer and the victim are familiar with each other, so they were able to pull them into the dream collectively, constituting an event to escape the dream. But in this case, there is no connection between the victims, and it would be too far-fetched to say that they were pulled into someone's dream.
Although I don't think it's a dream, I'm habitually cautious. Xiao Mo didn't beat this guess to death:
"It's possible that it's a dream, but it's relatively unlikely. Not to mention that there is no connection between the victims themselves, let's just say that the focus of this incident is not as simple as escaping, but to accept the ghost mirror game, and this premise must not be ignored. ”
When he said this, the sorrow between Xiao Mo's eyebrows opened up a little, and he heard him say again:
"It doesn't matter if the ghost is hallucinating to confuse us, or if it has some other purpose. In short, we all need to be cautious.
If you look at this illusion from a different angle, I have a conjecture. I think the appearance of this illusion has a lot to do with the ghost mirror game. Maybe that's the key to solving this incident through the ghost mirror game. ”
Xiao Mo's words made Wang Zi think of something, he rushed in front of Professor Qi, who was about to speak, and reminded everyone:
"We all remember. The two victims gave two very different answers to the question of counting asked by the ghost. And this answer includes all possibilities, the former is the result of the wrong number in our cognition. And the latter is the result of counting right in our cognition.
But whether the outcome was right or wrong, they were all killed by the ghosts. Then there is a very reasonable speculation that no matter whether the victim counts the results right or wrong, as long as the answer to the ghost is killed. ”
"Well, think so." Everyone nodded in agreement.
Recognized by everyone, Wang Zi's confidence was greatly boosted, and he continued to analyze:
It is precisely because the victim's answer will be killed whether it is right or wrong, that we think that the "ghost mirror game" given in the prompt does not actually refer to the counting problem raised by the ghost in the mirror, but something else.
But we all know that there may be others, but if you count them all, there are too many. Take the two that we guessed before, one is that the victim blows out the four candles immediately after accepting the ghost mirror game; The other is the mirror where the ghost inhabits immediately after receiving the game.
But it could be blowing out only one candle, or blowing out only two candles, or shattering the mirror before the ghost appears...... As I said earlier, the possibilities are endless.
So I think that these are not obviously in line with the possibility of the ghost mirror game, so let's not take it into account. Just like betting on football, although it is possible for a weak team to beat a strong team, in terms of the probability of winning or losing, most people must buy a strong team to win.
And now, the person who is suspected to be the biggest probability of a ghost mirror game is the counting problem raised by the ghost in the mirror, and at present, only this one is most likely a ghost mirror game.
In this world, there are risks in doing anything and making any decision, so it is necessary to identify one and take all the bets. ”
Wang Zi's analysis once again impressed Xiao Mo with him, because in Wang Zi, he saw something that he did not have - the determination to dare to make a desperate bet.
Although he is very cautious with Zhang Tianyi now, he is hesitant, and his troubles have not been cleaned. Always thinking about taking everything into account, but unknowingly, it makes my thoughts become more and more chaotic, and my attention becomes more and more distracted.
Professor Qi and the others exchanged their views with each other, and they all felt that what Wang Zi said was very right, any choice is risky, there is no absolute in the world, it is better to focus on one issue, and then hollow out all the possibilities that can appear on this one issue.
After a short discussion, everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Mo, obviously waiting for his opinion. Xiao Mo is not a person who is jealous of the virtuous, he hopes that he will be surrounded by some analysis and insight powers, and see what he misses and can't see.
"Great proposal, but also a reminder that I was really distracted by everything I could, but I neglected the fundamental principle of analyzing things."
Hearing Xiao Mo say this, Wang Zi looked very excited, Li Shuai and they knew that Xiao Mo, the captain, was a fake, but Wang Zi didn't know it, so they cared a lot about the praise of the "leader".
It was also right to praise Wang Zi, because Xiao Mo did find the place that he had ignored because of caution from Wang Zi's words, and he paused at this time and said:
"As for the question of what exactly the ghost mirror game means, in fact, I, like everyone else, is more inclined to the counting problem raised by the ghost.
But the thought that no matter if you answer wrong, you will die, so I ignore it as a matter of course. In fact, there is still a possibility between the wrong answer and the correct answer - silence. ”
Everyone knows what Xiao Mo means by "silence", that is, he simply accepts the ghost mirror game, and does not answer the questions raised by the ghost in the mirror, to put it bluntly, it is a word "drag".
Although when the victim does not give an answer for a long time, the ghost in the mirror will behave very irritable, and the body will keep moving away from the mirror where it originally lived. But whether it really came out to kill people, or whether it was just pretending to force the victim to answer, these are not easy to say.
Having lived through several incidents, they all know that events have limits on ghosts. It is possible that the ghost itself does not have the ability to kill people out of the mirror, but only after the victim answers the question. And this speculation can also roughly explain that the weishenme ghost will pretend to be a hallucination when killing the victim, and the reason is that everyone mistakenly thinks that it is powerful, so that they dare not delay the answer.
"I was afraid that there was a time limit for the victim's thinking, and I was afraid that when the time came, the ghosts would rush out and kill people, and I was afraid that we would be implicated in it.
But now that we're betting on it, we're going to have to take some risks. ”
Xiao Mo originally wanted to tell everyone that when the next victim came to the door, he would verify this speculation, but before he could say this, a young man with a plane head walked in. (To be continued......)
