But when Richard asked the question, the three of them looked different.

Audrey, who was originally angry because of her frustration, is now full of shock and doubt. For this not simple story, she vaguely sensed Richard's purpose in saying it.

So, she was curious about what he was going to do next.

But looking at Richard's hateful smiling face, Princess Audrey couldn't help but itch her teeth.

Heloise on the side was basically surprised.

Diana groaned for a while, and after thinking carefully for a long time, "Little brother Richard, you might as well have something to say, and you don't have to beat around the bush." ”

"I just wanted to ask you to guess the outcome of this matter. Richard smiled at her, his gaze continuing to scan the three of them, and he was sold.

"It ended happily. The consequences of these two villains are estimated to be one to be hanged, and the other to be forced to work for ten years. Diana stared at Richard with burning eyes.

"Although, from the point of view of a bystander, the one who survived was more hateful than the one who died, after all, he betrayed his accomplices first. But this ending is very much in line with reality, cunning and greedy people are originally more comfortable living than those who are kind and ignorant and believe in so-called morality. ”

The red-haired beauty's tone became more and more cold, and in addition to looking at Richard, she also glanced at Audrey and Heloise beside her.

"It's also a microcosm between us. ”

"Perhaps, from the moment you resurrect us, the fate of everyone here is only to kill each other. This path paved with blood is the only one who emerges victorious from it to ascend to the throne, and his ladder is the corpse of all the losers!"

Diana finally said, "What I said above is probably the answer you want us to give." But no matter what you say next, I want to say thank you, because your story has taught me one thing – others are hell!"

As soon as those last five words were spoken, the atmosphere of the whole cellar immediately changed.

At the very least, Audrey, Heloise, and Diana all began to distance themselves from the people around them, their eyes intertwined in mid-air. Later, they all looked at Richard together.

Seeing that they were playing against each other at this moment, Richard vaguely understood that these three girls were all unwilling to be subordinated to others. But the atmosphere he wants is completely brewed at this moment.

"This red-haired sister, you seem to have misunderstood something. "The question I really want to ask you is whether they have a better ending." ”

He accentuated, "Just imagine, if these two prisoners can speak in unison and not betray each other, then they can both survive and be free together." ”

"Do you think they're going to do that?" Diana vetoed, smiling at Richard, "don't try to trust human nature, because it's unreliable." The person who drinks with you today, or even sleeps with you, may stab you in the back tomorrow......"

"But I'm not talking about human nature, I'm talking about predicament. ”

Richard pushed away his chair and sat down again, "This dilemma means that they have a better ending, but they are going to the end together. What is it that makes them tragedy? That's the question we need to think about. ”

"My answer is that human beings are born with the original sin - selfishness, I don't know what do you think, little brother Richard?" Diana looked at Richard with interest.

"You're right, but not specific enough. Richard laughed.

"Specifically, what is in front of them, are two different choices. One option is to betray one's companions, the other is to remain silent. For them, it is obviously more rational to choose to sell, which is their optimal strategy. But it was this optimal strategy that became a tragedy for both of them......"

"So this tragedy can't be avoided!" Diana interrupted.

"That's another question, but what we're going to be aware of right now is a paradox. Richard looked serious, he looked at the three people opposite, "Everyone is not stupid, everyone wants to win." And in the end, it is very likely that everyone will become fools who lose everything!"

Richard pointed to Audrey on the side, "Shicai, Her Royal Highness said to me, 'Because we are hostile, we are hostile', I'm afraid you also have this idea." Because of the spell on my body, you have this idea, and rightfully so. I can understand it, but I don't think it's correct. ”

"Because if we all think so, then the end that awaits us will most likely be the end of everyone together!"

Although Richard said this at the moment, Audrey and the others vaguely understood it in their hearts. But at this moment, when he said it clearly, it still had a deafening effect.

Finding that the three of them were speechless, Richard understood that it was time to make a move.

"But there is a solution to this prisoner's dilemma. ”

Seeing the three of them staring at him in surprise, Richard was about to say, "Three, just imagine, if these two prisoners could communicate with each other, wouldn't it be better......

"Don't try to test human nature. Diana immediately retorted.

"I'm not testing humanity, I'm just saying that if you can communicate with each other, the chances of the two prisoners reaching an agreement are higher than if they can't make contact. ”

This time, Diana stopped talking.

"Second, if the two prisoners have accomplices, relatives, and friends outside. Even if they survived, they survived ten years of hard work. But because of the previous betrayal, he will be harassed by other people, and he wants to atone for his past actions, so what will be the end?"

"Thirdly, if the preconditions were to be changed, the hanging would be turned into twenty years' hard labor, and the two prisoners would have to work together. Is there a change in the possibility of them reaching a cooperation?"

Seeing that the three women opposite him were all thinking, Richard slowly exhaled.

Whether it can succeed or not depends on the next move.

After half ringing.

Diana spoke again, and she looked at Richard with a serious face, "Brother Richard, what do you really want to say by borrowing this story?"

"Communication, respect and cooperation. Richard held three fingers in the air.

"The situation we are facing is far from being comparable to this story, it is much more complicated. Richard made a gesture of sincerity, "This leaves us more space." In this case, we might as well respect each other, cooperate with each other, and discuss things together. ”

"Do you feel the reality?" said Princess Audrey again, sneering at him.

"How unrealistic. Richard retorted unceremoniously, "For example, during the time I have the spell, I will not treat you like slaves, but will give you acceptable treatment." Isn't it realistic to use it in exchange for your courtesy to me in the future, such as not killing me, but simply taking the spell, or fulfilling a few of my wishes when you kill me and take the order?

Her Royal Highness was silent again.

Richard looked at the other two, "If the spell reaches you, I also suggest that you be kind to the people around you." Or just do it, and if you have a spell, you don't have a spell. Maintain mutual relations with human bonds, and never simply use this kind of coercive force. ”

"Of course, the most realistic thing to do is to set a bottom line for each other to fight. Richard waved his hand, "In this way, even if you are on the losing side, you will not fall to the bottom, and you can still have a little necessary dignity." ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Diana's eyes suddenly narrowed into a line.

"Others are not hell!" Richard looked at her, gradually raising his voice, "never compromise, refuse to communicate and cooperate with each other, and those who do not leave a bottom line when competing are hell for each other." ”

Richard's gaze softened suddenly, "Maybe you think I'm a little stupid, but I still want to tell you that kindness is not as weak as you think." It may be a best life strategy in its own right, but its power will take time to prove. And those selfishness and evil may bring benefits in the short term, but just like my story, maybe what awaits them in the end is to go to destruction together!"

Of course, after pretending to be forced, Richard immediately switched back to his original state.

"I'm going to make you three chapters later. He sighed, "I will give you a step ahead and assure you here that I will give you the utmost respect and freedom for all but those that involve my life." For example, when you teach me martial arts, I will call you master and be respectful to you. If you help me extra, I will also thank and repay you. I have only one request, I will not treat you as my slave captives, but please do not consider me your enemy. ”

At this point, Audrey and the others stopped talking at all.

If Richard had put forward this condition directly at the beginning, they would only feel that he was stupid and pathetic, and that he was so gullible to trust others.

But after the prisoner's dilemma, the three of them felt that his move was out of a more advanced philosophy of life than the conventional cunning and cleverness. It looks a little silly and cute, but it actually contains a kind of wisdom that understands life.

After half a ring.

Heloise was the first to reply, "What I do to you depends on how you treat me." ”

Just as Diana and Audrey were about to take a stand, the situation changed abruptly.

A strange and beautiful female voice suddenly echoed in the cellar.

"Interesting, you're really interesting. No wonder Stolas told me that you are an unpredictable person, sometimes unthinkably wise, and sometimes stupid and incredible......"
