Chapter 14: The Prisoner's Dilemma (3)
"You're saying I'm messing around?" Audrey's eyes narrowed into a line.
But even though she was as vicious as a hungry wolf, Richard would not let it go.
"You can talk about problems calmly, but you are more aggressive. Richard paused deliberately, "I asked you, 'Why do we hurt each other,' and you replied, 'It's because of different positions that force us to kill each other.'" Then I asked you, 'What is our respective position?' and you gave that answer. Why isn't this nonsense?"
Audrey was also stunned by him.
"You monkey is so clueless!" she raised her voice, "don't you know what I'm saying this for? I'm doing this just to show that we must be hostile." ”
"Then why do we have to be hostile?"
"For no reason, because we're hostile, we're hostile!" Audrey shouted directly.
She saw Richard put on an extraordinarily mocking expression.
His eyes were looking to the right, the corners of his mouth were upturned at the same time, and his eyebrows jumped and jumped.
"Your Royal Highness, aren't you messing around?" Richard gave Audrey a big "funny" with his face, "You say this to me, it's just that you feel that we are in an antagonistic relationship, but you never think about whether you are right about this feeling." ”
He waved his hand, "I remember a story about a traveler who was once asked, 'Where did you come from and where are you going?' and the man said, 'Where I came from, where I went.' Your Royal Highness the Princess, and the two on the side, do you think this person is very good? ”
Richard noticed that the three of them had changed their expressions, so he explained to himself, "So what's so good about it? The good thing is that the traveler doesn't want to answer the question, but he hides the past in this way." ”
"Our Royal Highness the Princess's sentence 'Because we are hostile, we are hostile' is actually pretty much the same. Richard looked at Princess Audrey again, "You're just vague to show how much you hate me, but your answer is far less clever than that traveler's. ”
Richard looked triumphant, and the angry Audrey wanted to punch him.
Her Royal Highness the Princess, who stood up, tried to refute again, but was blocked by Richard again.
"Please remember that you are a princess, and then answer my question, what I just said, yes or no?" added Richard, adding, "just answer yes?"
Audrey didn't answer in the end.
She gave Richard a hateful look.
Then, Her Royal Highness sat back in silence......
Seeing her admit it, Richard gasped.
Fortunately, I listened carefully to a few logic lessons, otherwise I would have been able to get around her. Richard understood that circular arguments are basically a death to those who know a little bit of logic, but for those who don't understand, they can fool them.
"Just because you're good doesn't mean you're right. Seeing Audrey, whose teeth chattered with anger, Diana, who was sitting in the middle, spoke, "Even if you are really right, so what? Everyone is an adult, and you won't understand the word 'profit'." ”
This rather mature red-haired beauty has a smile on the corner of her mouth at the moment, revealing an unusual charming style.
After Diana finished speaking, Heloise, the cold beauty on the other side, also nodded.
"There are some things that don't have to be said too clearly. ”
"Listening to Lord Fras, you seem to be called Richard. Diana took over the topic and nodded at Richard, "Brother Richard, we look at you coldly, but we just don't want to have too much involvement with each other, otherwise we will start to do it in the future, so as not to make everyone embarrassed." We're you, and you're us, and that's good for both of us. ”
Brushing her red hair, the amorous woman glanced at the other two beside her, "Do you think the relationship between the three of us is very harmonious? ”
A few sighs.
"The life you have brought us is indeed cruel, whether it is for you, for us, or for others who covet the secrets of you. ”
When she looked at Richard again, Diana's face suddenly turned cold.
"That's all I think, Brother Richard, you must be able to understand these words. ”
"I understand, but that doesn't mean I'm in favor of it. Richard looked at her, then at Heloise on the side, and immediately understood that the two were going to go together.
This is not even a chance to fight in wheels.
After thinking about it for a while, Richard realized that in order to convince them this time, he had to have some real skills. Looking at Princess Audrey who was sneering on the side, Richard knew that it was just a war of words.
Diana shook her head.
"Why bother?" said the red-haired woman to Richard, "you really think that I treat you so much only out of instinctive disgust, and hatred for your rude behavior towards us. No, in fact, I appreciate you. Regardless of your temperament, there is no doubt about the talent of coming up with the black box method to gain insight into the sacrifice. ”
She then gave a cruel smile.
"I feel sorry for the thought of a genius like you being caught up in this maelstrom. I'm really curious how much you can do to shock the world. It is this recognition that made me decide to be a head-on opponent with you, and no longer choose those hypocritical politeness, you deserve this treatment. ”
"If you die at my hands, I will engrave your name in my heart because of your unspeakable talent. ”
Heloise, who didn't talk much, had a hard time speaking a long sentence.
Hearing their words, Richard understood the reason why they didn't quarrel with Audrey just now. The two of them don't hate themselves at all, but simply treat him as an opponent.
But he also understands that appreciation is sometimes harder to deal with than hostility.
Sure enough, can you only sacrifice that trick?
Richard pondered for a long time, but finally made up his mind.
"I really didn't expect you to have a crush on me?" he charged before making a move.
"If you exclude your ungentlemanly behavior, there are also those vulgar and vulgar habits that are widely circulated among the inferior. Diana winked at him, "Actually, you're still a very interesting person, at least you dare to scold the gods to your face, I've only heard of you." ”
Her voice is beautiful, crisp and beautiful like a nightingale.
Richard pressed his heart.
"In that case, then why should we fight each other?"
Seeing that the two people on the other side shook their heads helplessly, Richard opened his mouth and said, "I'll tell you another story, and please don't interrupt and listen to me patiently." ”
He coughed twice and cleared his throat.
"There used to be two prisoners in the same prison. ”
"Their identity is a gang of bandits. But the soldiers who captured them did not have much evidence to prove their identity. The lord of the soldier is a very merciful man, and he will not kill any innocent person. ”
Seeing that the two villains would be released, the soldier suddenly came up with a solution, which was approved by the lord. ”
He kept the two prisoners separate and denied them any contact. ”
Then he told both of them that if they first identified the exact crime of the other, they would not be hanged, but only ten years of hard labor. ”
"And those who come to expose others, or who do not intend to expose others at all, will be immediately hanged if betrayed by another person!"
Richard finally asked, "Three, what do you think is the outcome of this matter?"
Audrey, Heloise, and Diana were listening with relish, and their faces suddenly complicated when they were confronted with this question.
