(That's a big deal, I'll have to think about it.) ）

Having said that, Seth still has no clue when he thinks about it. He sometimes felt that "Zhu Xiaowen" who returned to the team later was full of suspicions, and it was impossible for the puppet Billy to be so kind to capture him and put him back intact. However, if he is determined to be a fake, he has to admit that the real "Zhu Xiaowen" is dead, which is emotionally unacceptable to the righteous Seth.

(Alas, if only I had as smart as them...... ）

Seth cast a pleading gaze at the others, but he also knew very well in his heart that even if the other party really wanted to give him any hints, he would not be able to understand it.

But he didn't know that being smart wasn't necessarily a good thing. At times, being able to see things that others can't see may mean you have to make sacrifices to do so.

At this time, here and now, there is a person who is facing such distress.

(Not fair, it's not fair!) ）

Zhu Xiaowen's heart was full of anger. The fire of injustice that burns brightly and cannot be dispersed.

From a young age, he was called a prodigy by those around him, and this ingenuity continued here, helping him through his first game, a block-shaped death puzzle game.

Even now, when he is almost overwhelmed by all kinds of negative emotions, Zhu Xiaowen still found the solution to the puzzle this time from the words of the puppet Billy. But it's no wonder that Billy has highlighted it too many times.

"The one who opens his mouth dies", "Only one is true, and the other is a humanoid doll made by my 'fine' heart", "As long as the living person opens his mouth, he will be killed by me in seconds", just the last two sentences are enough to get the perfect solution to this 'mystery' game. It's very simple, it's okay for Zhu Xiaowen to die.

The doll will not be killed in an instant when it opens its mouth, and the doll is already dead. Zhu Xiaowen only needs to say a word casually, and let the puppet Billy's ability kill him in seconds, which is enough to prove that he is a human and the real "Zhu Xiaowen". With his knowledge of other people, even if he can't think of this layer for the time being, he can still notice the purpose behind him when he is killed in seconds, so he can think of this.

It's just that Zhu Xiaowen is not reconciled. Why? I'm really not good at fighting, that's why I was captured by the puppet, resulting in today's situation where we can't trust each other, but there's no reason to die! And not death in battle, but this humiliation of automatic death-seeking.

(I'm not reconciled!) It's not fair at all! Why does it have to be me! ）

Zhu Xiaowen was indignant. He glanced around and looked at his teammates in turn, he was a man who had already seen through the puzzle, and based on this psychology, he could more or less guess which step they had in mind.

(Nao's gaze remains motionless as she looks here, a hint of sadness on her face.) Very well, this person seems to have thought of it with her, but as long as I don't die, she still can't be 100% sure. ）

(Seth's expression is still so dazed.) I wouldn't be surprised by this, this puzzle was a little too difficult for him with a slightly simpler mind with developed limbs, and it was understandable that he couldn't think of it. ）

(Only Lu Yu is the only one...... When his eyes met, he retracted all his expressions and shook his head at me slowly and firmly...... Does he want me not to do stupid things? But is there any other way? Or are you suspecting that I'm fake? Call...... This man is still incomprehensible to this day. ）

With a long exhale, Zhu Xiaowen looked at it and fell into contradiction again. Inexplicably, at a time when he should have devoted all his energy to thinking and trying to find another way, he suddenly remembered his father.

Zhu Xiaowen's family background is good since he was a child, and his family can once be regarded as one of the richest businessmen in that small place in his hometown, and in today's words, he is a small tyrant. My father was a businessman, buying and selling all kinds of things, everything that was good for money, black and white. Zhu Xiaowen heard that his father made a fortune by making black cars and guns when he was young, and he slowly washed his white when he made enough money in middle age. But even so, he still does not change his true 'character' of a businessman, and is greedy and unscrupulous. In his own words, he was "trying to get money out of other people's pockets by all means on the premise of being as legal as possible."

's father often said to Zhu Xiaowen: "It's a blessing to suffer, that's true, but it's just comfort afterwards." When you can make others suffer, there is no need to let yourself suffer, this is blessed. ”

From childhood to adulthood, Zhu Xiaowen has also seen his father "take money out of other people's pockets" in various ways, legal fraud, concealment, and reversal. My father was an encyclopedia of fraud, teaching him how to make people suffer and how to keep himself from suffering.

It's just that Zhu Xiaowen just can't learn.

In terms of talent, he is more 'colorful' than his already very smart father, and his emotional intelligence is not bad, he only needs to go to the society to 'touch' and accumulate some experience for a few years, and he definitely has the opportunity to become a powerful businessman who is not inferior to his father. It's a pity that he is 'good' by nature, even to the point of being a bad person, and he can't help but lend a hand when he sees a poor person, which is often taken advantage of.

My father often sighed and said that his rotten wood could not be carved, and that if he had a three-long and two-short, the family's business would be finished in three or two years if it fell into his hands. Her mother was very disgusted by such an evaluation, and she comforted Zhu Xiaowen and said: "Your father is very remarkable, but I don't like his approach, especially the way of thinking that always puts feelings and money on the scales to compare." It's better for a kind person like you, Xiaowen. ”

But Zhu Xiaowen himself ...... For the kind-hearted him, all he has in his heart is guilt, the guilt of not being able to do the same thing, and the guilt of living up to his father's expectations. He had thought about honing himself and finding a way to become like his father.

His mind changed when a typhoon occurred one summer.

That year, the weather was particularly abnormal, and the typhoons were much less powerful than in previous years. People in the small county town in Zhu Xiaowen's hometown are glad that this year's typhoon is so much stronger than in previous years, but the summer is almost over, and no typhoon is going this way, which can be described as a great luck in misfortune.

But just after thinking about it, a few days later, a large typhoon came.

Zhu Xiaowen has never seen such a scary typhoon in his life. Just after the typhoon officially landed, the heavy rainstorm that had been flaunting all this time completely lost the strength to smash to the ground, and was blown away by the strong wind, swaying left and right like a curtain that was being moved. Wherever the strong wind went, the big trees hugged by several people were either uprooted or blown off by the waist, and although the slightly weaker houses were reinforced in advance, they still could not withstand the impact of the strong winds, and were directly lifted up.

Although Zhu Xiaowen's house was built with the best materials at a great price, and the construction team was specially invited to reinforce the whole building in the previous section, but under the indiscriminate bombardment of this strong storm, Zhu Xiaowen still felt that the whole building seemed to be constantly swaying, and it seemed that it would fall down at any time.

And my father was calmly standing by the window watching the rain outside.

Uncle Meng, the housekeeper, came over and reported: "Master, those people are gathering more and more at the 'gate', I see ...... At this time, it is better to let them in and avoid it...... Human life is at stake......"

The father lowered his head slightly, and he was indifferent to the homeless people downstairs. After thinking for a while, he said, "Uncle Meng, you go and tell them that you can come in if you want to, and the rent will be added by one percent on the basis of just now." ”

"Add one more!" Uncle Meng couldn't help but exclaim, "Master, they can't afford the price just now, add another 10%, you want to ......"

"You don't understand." My father said confidently, "How can they not afford that little money, it's just that they don't think it's worth it to take a break from the rain." Well, I'll let them feel it for themselves outside, and by the way, I will raise the price and tell them that if they don't 'pay' the money this time, they will not only have to continue to endure the wind and rain, but also have to 'pay' more money. ”

Father's judgment is always right. After hearing Uncle Meng's words, those people only discussed for a while, and then obediently took out the money and went into the garage. A few angry guys scolded and kicked the garage 'door' a few times, and my father said it didn't matter, wait for the typhoon to pass and take a photo to ask him to pay back, and if you don't give it, you will see you.

There were still cursing voices from everyone in the garage downstairs, but my father didn't seem to hear it, so he just seized the opportunity to teach Zhu Xiaowen a lesson. The most favorite thing for a businessman like him is to make a fortune, and the more difficult it is, the less others have a choice but to pay obediently. If it were Zhu Xiaowen, he would definitely not be able to do this kind of thing.

"Your heart is too soft." My father sighed and shook his head and said again and again, "Sooner or later, you will have to suffer a lot from this." ”

Zhu Xiaowen was a little unconvinced. He pointed in the direction of the garage and said, "Dad, listen to how ugly the people downstairs are scolding you." Isn't this also a loss? ”

"They scolded them, I earn my money, does it matter?" My father smoked cigarettes leisurely.

"Hmph."

Zhu Xiaowen sat down sullenly.

"Xiaowen, you remember that businessmen always have to find ways to put themselves in the most advantageous place, and temporary losses are also to make more money." The father slowly exhaled a smoke ring, "There is only one situation in which you can not think about it that way." ”

"What's the situation?"

"A situation where there is no alternative."

My father said, "If one day, a group of thugs rush in and say that they want to take my life, I can only try to save my life without money." At that time, it doesn't matter if you earn more or less, you have to do your best to keep what you can keep. ”

"Oh." Zhu Xiaowen agreed. Listening to the cursing from downstairs, he secretly made up his mind that he would never, never, never become an annoying guy like his father.

(But now is the time when you say 'no choice.') Father. ）

Zhu Xiaowen's eyes opened suddenly, and he already had an idea in his heart. It's ironic to say that he couldn't make up his mind when he always thought he was kind, and in the end it was his father's businessman logic who gave him support. Since I can't think of any other way to pass the first level, this is the only way for a long time. If you do it, you will die, and if you don't do it, everyone will die, and for the person concerned, it is just a little difference between sooner or later.

Zhu Xiaowen smiled, it was the kind of relieved smile.

"Everyone, I'm Zhu Xiaowen."
