Chapter 700, It's All About Balance

As the king finished speaking, a group of ghosts gradually appeared on the playground, and this group of ghosts came out from under the runway, making people stunned. Many people were even more panicked. I want to escape.

"Don't worry, these ghosts don't kill, they will participate in the ghost luck game with you. They are the ghosts in the ghost luck game. The king said.

Hear the King's words. It dawned on me that it was no wonder that the king had left so many ghosts on the runway beforehand, it was for the sake of ghost luck.

After this group of ghosts appeared, they did not attack people, but stood in place. The rest of the jaw.

"Now I announce that the game of ghost luck has officially begun, and everyone heads to the left. Give you five minutes, and whoever doesn't reach the left side will die. The king's cold voice rang out.

Hearing his words, our group hurried to the left side of the playground. The whole playground is so big, and the side is full of dense people.

And then the whole playground, too, has changed dramatically. Gradually some white grids appeared on the playground, and these grids were like chess. In the middle are written two large characters of the river Styx.

"Starting from the first class of junior high school, the parents and teachers of each class must participate in the ghost luck game, and I will announce that the boatman selected by the first class of junior high school is Li Lan. He will gain the power to step into the River Styx. No one else is allowed to interfere. The king said.

As the king finished speaking, a boy in the first class of junior high school came over in a daze. He had no idea that he had been chosen to be a boatman. In this way, the fate of the entire class seems to be in his hands.

He instinctively felt a little frightened, but there was nothing he could do. It was the classmates around him who hurriedly grabbed his hand one by one, especially a school flower, and said directly: "Li Lan, you have to help me." I don't want to die. As long as you are willing to help me, I am willing to be your girlfriend. ”

"Yes, as long as you are willing to help us, my daughter is yours." The school girl's mother said. Li Lan looked excited when she heard it. Then a teacher also came over.

She was the math teacher, and the math teacher hurriedly said, "Li Lan, this ghost luck game is actually a math problem. There are now 84 people in our class including parents, except for you as a boatman, which is 83 people. And there will be 83 ghosts. ”

In other words, the number of ghosts and humans is the same. If there are the same number of people and ghosts, then ghosts will not eat people, but if there is one less person than ghosts. Then the ghost will eat the extra one. So you have to be careful. ”

"yes, I see. Teacher. Li Lan said.

In addition to the first year of junior high school, other classes are also holding ghost games. A total of five classes are held at the same time. And at this time, the respective boatmen have also been chosen.

As long as the boatman takes the hand of a man or a ghost, he can go to the River Styx.

The people stand on the left, the ghosts stand on the right, and these ghosts are like dolls, and they don't move at all. It also reassures others a lot. "Game on!" With the king's roar, the people who were chosen to be the boatmen were ready.

As a first-year junior high school, it is naturally impossible for them to play this kind of advanced math problem. Therefore, it is the teacher who is making the idea. It's just that in this panicked situation, everyone is in despair.

With the beginning of the shouting, one by one, the boatmen walked to the opposite shore with a ghost. Because according to the calculations. If there are the same number of ghosts and people, then ghosts will not eat people.

And if the first one to take away is a person, then there will be one less person than a ghost, and the ghost will eat people. Therefore, the first one must be a ghost. One by one, the boatmen came to the other side with the ghosts, and the ghosts stood on the other side. Then they left one after another.

In the second round, there are many options for the belt, and you can choose people. In this way, there are as many people and ghosts on both sides of the strait. Ghosts don't eat people. You can also choose to bring ghosts, so that ghosts will not eat people.

In the first round, the boatmen of each class chose to bring ghosts, but in the second round, some chose to bring people and some chose to bring ghosts. Of course, most of them are with people.

For example, in the first class of junior high school, the second round brought people, which caused him to remain unscathed in two rounds. Just in the third round, he will face a choice.

With people or with ghosts?

If you bring people, there will be two people on the other side and one ghost, but there will be one less person on your own side, causing the ghost to kill. And if there are ghosts, then it may cause the ghosts on the other side to become two, and there is only one person, and this person will also be eaten.

For a while, Li Lan didn't know how to choose, and the others seemed to be in a dilemma. Everyone was fine in the first and second rounds, but in the third round, they were already confused.

That's when tragedy struck. A boatman came to the opposite shore with a ghost. only to find himself screaming behind him. The boatman hurriedly looked behind him, but saw that the ghost was eating people like crazy.

In the face of the attack of ghosts, students and parents have no power to resist at all.

"No!" The boatman roared and rushed back, and hurriedly pulled all the ghosts down to the other side, but when he pulled down ten ghosts, the tragedy gradually disappeared. for there are more people than demons. These ghosts reverted to their wooden appearance.

But when he brought down the twelve demons, the people on the other side were also eaten by the demons. But for the safety of the majority, the sacrifice is worth it.

But his question arises again, what should he ship next? There are twelve ghosts on the other side, and he can only transport one at a time, which means that if he dares to transport one, it will be sent to the tiger's mouth.

"How the hell did you do that? There are so many ghosts on the other side, aren't all the ones you send over to die? One student shouted.

"yes, are you brain-dead, do you know math? Looking at the current situation, what exactly should we do? One parent wept bitterly. By this time they were already desperate.

You must know that there is a time limit for the ghost luck game, and during this time, they must not leave the playground, otherwise they will run away long ago. But the king's command was absolute.

"I want to figure it out, don't worry." The student said bitterly that he was only a student in the first year of junior high school, and he would not have such a profound problem at all. Faced with this situation, he simply had nothing to do.

And I, who was silently watching all this, muttered to myself, "The ghost luck game is really a terrible game." The essence of this game is balance. ”

"When there are the same number of people and ghosts, then there will be no trouble, and the ghosts will not attack people. But as soon as there are more ghosts than people on one side, then the ghosts start to kill. ”

"The faster the ghost kills, the more difficult it will be. Because if you want to stop ghosts from killing people, you have to make the number of ghosts and people the same. ”

"That's right, there are more than 80 students and parents in the average class, and this kind of calculation is not comparable to that of one student at all. No wonder the king would say that it was a game of choice. Because if you want to win the game, you have to sacrifice some people. ”

"That's right, I just did the math. The goal of the game is to transport everyone and the ghosts to the other side. As long as this purpose is accomplished, the ghost luck game is over. But with more than 80 people, it is very difficult to maintain a balance between the two sides. If you are not careful, it can lead to irreparable consequences. Xue Junxiong said with a gloomy face.

"The game of ghost luck is scary, but it's not the most important thing. Didn't you notice that we couldn't use any props? I said in a calm voice, and after I finished speaking, the faces of the people around me changed dramatically.

They tried, and sure enough, they found that they couldn't mobilize their ghost powers, and they couldn't use any props. In this way, they are just as vulnerable as ordinary people in the face of ghost attacks.

In this case, we seem to be no different from ordinary people! It's miserable. Xue Junxiong said with a frightened face. After all, what we rely on most is the power to fight against ghosts.

But now that this power is gone, the results speak for themselves once our greatest advantage is lost.

"Let's take a look, shall we?" I looked at the scene in front of me and said, five classes, five ghost games, and tragedies have happened so far. Except for one class, relying on the math teacher, I barely transported more than half.

But the other half, I'm afraid it's going to be troublesome. Because as long as there is one more ghost than a human, it is a fight. It's a step-by-step game.
