Dead silence, utter dead silence.

Billy's game opens with a deathly silence. Thirty minutes after the countdown had passed, it was the game's host who spoke again.

And these 30 minutes are the longest 30 minutes of Nao's life so far.

I can't move my hands and feet, I can't speak, and although my eyes can look around, I can't read what my teammates are thinking. Seth's brow furrowed and he gritted his teeth, obviously trying to break free from the spell, but apparently to no avail. The somewhat suspicious "Zhu Xiaowen" had his eyes rolling around, his eyes drifting everywhere, and he didn't know if he was frightened or thinking about something.

And Lu Yu was almost expressionless throughout the whole process, only frowning slightly, as if he had seen through the things behind this game and was thinking about countermeasures. Noticing Nao's gaze, he turned his head and smiled slightly.

Nao was startled and subconsciously turned her head, feeling her heart beating hard. Although she didn't want to admit it, but after only two games, maybe she felt it in her subconscious, and it turned out that she was relying more and more on this young man who always looked calm and sometimes nervous.

Before meeting Lu Yu, Nao also thought that he was a smart person. But for the puppet game in front of her at this time, she couldn't understand it anymore, so she could only blindly follow Billy's layout to catch up. It's not that her intelligence is not enough to solve the 'puzzle' game, it's just that under the pressure of zero survival points, the unconscious fear of "hearts", and the sense of 'spirit' oppression generated by this series of strange atmospheres made by puppet Billy, Nao was pulled into the quagmire of fear step by step, losing her usual ability to think calmly and calmly.

She couldn't scream, she couldn't escape, which made her feel even more afraid that she had nowhere to release in her heart fermented again and again, and finally engulfed her whole body. In this case, Lu Yu's sense of calmness was her only lifeline.

Yes, not only her, but also Seth, who has nowhere to go, and Zhu Xiaowen, who is suffering from not being able to prove himself, have more or less pinned their hopes on Lu Yu. They subconsciously trusted Lu Yu's arrangement, believing that his judgment would definitely send everyone back to the landing space safe and sound.

But I don't know that in the next game, only those who are selfish enough can be rescued.

……

"Tuk-tuk."

The impatiens walked briskly back and forth, stopping and stomping their feet impatiently, so that the ashes on the shelves were falling.

"If you stomp like this again, it will be difficult for the people below to find out about you." Next to Osman said coldly.

Feng Xian squatted down angrily, holding her cheeks with her hands and 'revealed' a boring expression: "What the hell do they want to do, they have been motionless for half an hour, acting in mime!" Let's get started! Anyway, this game is unreasonable.,This time the puppet in the game shouldn't have the ability to kill the player except for the spike setting.,As long as you don't open your mouth, you can hold until the end of the total time! What's the point of playing a game and putting a countdown! ”

"If by 'start' you mean a battle of wits, it's already begun."

Osman said lightly, "The point is that these 'thirty minutes' in the past are more than thirty minutes. ”

He is different from the bouncing impatiens. Although Osman may appear to be a frenzied young man, once he senses the beginning of a battle, his mind is calmer than most, and he is always making accurate judgments about the situation. Many opponents misjudged his fighting style precisely because of his uninhibited appearance, thus laying down their own defeat before the battle began.

Unbeknownst to Osman at this time, the talent he was using was being used by someone underneath.

Absolutely.

In this regard, Osman is slightly stronger than the usual Lu Yu. Lu Yu only sensed the difference between the two times and roughly answered the proportion, but Osman was able to 'fine' to two decimal places.

"This countdown doesn't show the real time, it's slowed down. It shows one second, which is about 1.04 times the normal time. ”

"One point and four times, one minute and sixty seconds, one hour and sixty minutes...... One by one, one by one, one by two, two by two......" Feng Xian counted with his fingers.

Osman sighed and said the answer directly.

"Although the difference in one second is almost imperceptible, it is almost two and a half seconds when zoomed in to a minute, and three hours on the countdown is actually equivalent to a little more than three hours and seven minutes of real time."

"Three hours and seven minutes!" Feng Xian's eyes widened, "In this way, it will be three minutes longer than the actual remaining time of the game!" ”

"Yes." Osman nodded, "So if you don't do anything and don't respond to the game, they'll be able to clear the level before the countdown is over." It's a pity that in such an environment, coupled with the deliberate half-hour emptying, the sense of urgency is strengthened......"

He looked at the few people below who had obviously 'revealed' their shaky expressions.

"I don't think there is anyone who can hold back......"

……

"Alright, let's start the game now."

Seeing that the heat is almost up, Billy announces the official start of the game. The eyes of all the players instantly focused on it, and even Lu Yu, who didn't take this game seriously, looked at it a few more times.

"To make it easy for everyone to get started, the first quiz was very simple and the one that everyone cared about the most," Billy said. ”

It pointed to "Zhu Xiaowen" who was half-squatting and was restrained by the green light, and then pointed to the corpse of "Zhu Xiaowen" who fell to the ground, and said briskly: "The name of this level is 'true and false' fan 'bureau', the rules are very simple, only one of these two is true, and the other is a humanoid doll made by me'fine' heart, which one is it?" Oh yes! ”

It seemed to think of something suddenly, and it laughed.

"I forgot that you don't dare to speak, after all, in my territory, as long as the living person opens his mouth, he will be killed by me in seconds." Billy laughed, "But don't worry, you don't need to say the answer, just give an affirmative answer in your heart." ”

"First choose the one you think is true, and then mentally think, 'OK!' , so that I can even if you mention the 'handover' answer. But beware, you have to think carefully about this answer, and you can't just 'blind' it. Because if only one of the players answers the wrong answer, the whole game will fail. In that case......"

Billy smirked again, "I'll kill you on the spot." ”

It patted the LCD screen of the countdown and added: "There is still a lot of time, you can be slow, slow, and think." ”

The time was two hours, twenty-seven minutes and thirty-four seconds.

(Liar, there's not enough time.) ）

Nao thought to herself, although this countdown was calculated from three hours, but the actual start of the game was delayed by almost thirty minutes, and even if there were two more levels after this level, maybe one of them would take a lot of time. Billy the puppet repeatedly insists that there is still a lot of time, and maybe it is a ploy to paralyze them.

(If you lose because you run out of time, it's equivalent to losing the game a few minutes before clearing the level, so you can't be reconciled if you think about it!) ）

Nao stared at the "Zhu Xiaowen" fiercely, but couldn't find a flaw. The look on his face that was mixed with nervousness and uneasiness was exactly the Zhu Xiaowen they were familiar with, but the timing of his reappearance after disappearing, and the state in which he appeared were suspicious everywhere.

Not only Nao, but also Seth at this time fell into the same hesitation. One person who chooses the wrong choice will drag down the whole group, which is equivalent to killing everyone. This sense of moral guilt made him change his answer again and again, but he never dared to think "sure".

Lu Yu still had an unpredictable expression.

And Zhu Xiaowen, who was at the core of the incident, broke out in a cold sweat at this time. As a person in question, of course, he himself knew that it was just a fake corpse that fell to the ground. But when he couldn't speak, or even gesture, he couldn't think of a way to convey the message to his teammates.

And the rules set by Billy the puppet made him feel even more stressed. Although he himself had chosen the correct answer and thought "sure", there was no guarantee that the others would not be affected by Billy's tricks. This is the rule of sudden death, as long as one person chooses the wrong answer and says 'hand', everyone here will die.

There may not be much time left for Zhu Xiaowen to prove himself.

……

"This game is not fair."

After saying this, Feng Xian looked at Zhu Xiaowen's tangled face and was silent for a while.

Osman nodded: "It's not fair. But in war, either the most vulnerable targets are given priority. Either it's taking advantage of the weakening of a powerful target, and this person happens to fit both. ”

"In terms of the possibility of using his intelligence to crack this 'mystery' game, Zhu Xiaowen is slightly higher than Naou, second only to Lu Yu, but the latter has almost no flaws so far." Feng Xian sighed, "The fact that he was captured is enough to become his fatal injury, not only him, but this fatal injury may become the team's heart disease, making them suspicious from within." Taking this topic as the first question not only oppressed Zhu Xiaowen in terms of 'spirit', but also accelerated the collapse of the team and facilitated the next step. ”

Osman said unhappily: "I hate this practice the most, it is not pleasant at all." If I were to capture the player, I'd kill him, and then go head-to-head with the rest of the players one by one. ”

"Is there anything else in your mind besides heads-up......" Feng Xian chuckled and patted him on the back. Osman's unintentional sentence just reminded her, yes, if Puppet Billy's goal is to eliminate all players, why not give priority to Zhu Xiaowen, who has fallen into his hands? If it's just to disrupt the team and stay to cooperate with the corpse's tricks, then it can be replaced by other tricks!

"What's the reason for a boss to give up killing a player......"

The phoenix muttered to herself. Osman replied disdainfully, "Do you even need to think about it?" There's only one reason not to kill an enemy, and that's if you keep him, you can kill more enemies! ”

Osman's words were like a bolt of lightning that split through the clouds, unraveling all the doubts in her heart.

"I see, that's ......," Feng Xian suddenly realized.
