"I, I didn't mean to." Carol was a little flustered and said, "I just didn't throw it accurately." ”

"Huh." The clown slapped the table heavily, sneered and said: "I see that you don't believe us at all, and you still want to leave a way back for yourself, and you want to use burning the house as a hole card, and you are worried that we will not ignite the fire, so you use your hand shaking to make a mistake to create an opportunity for yourself!" ”

"What do you say?! You bastard, how could I do that?! I, I am...... Who let this damn rule make me so nervous?! ”

"Look, look, it's starting to make excuses in terms of rules again." The clown bared his teeth, looked around, then crossed his arms and stared at Carol gloomily and said, "We shouldn't have given this stupid woman a chance, she didn't think about other people's feelings from beginning to end, I think we should stop there, let's play according to the original rules." ”

Carol's eyebrows rose in anger, but as soon as she counted the matches in her hand, she lost her confidence again.

She had just thrown in a match, and according to the rules, she could throw two more, but it didn't work.

Just now Schiller and the Joker both threw two, they had 8 left, and if she and Katie both threw 3, they would have 7 left.

Then according to the clockwise order, after this round of throwing, several people are left with 8, 8, 7, and 7 respectively, and after abolishing the rules of guessing boxing, there will be another round, which is 5, 5, 4, 4, and 2, 2, 1, and 1 after another round, then Schiller will throw two, the clown will throw two, and Katie will throw one, and Carol will still have to be eliminated.

At this point in the situation, Carol still can't guarantee that anyone will have 4 or more left, and if the rules are abolished now, she will still lose.

So, she took a deep breath and took out her few patience to explain: "You believe me, I really didn't mean to, I was originally a superpower, and now that superpowers are no longer used, it is difficult for me to control my limbs so accurately, besides, as long as no one jumps, the fire will not burn the house." ”

The expressions of the other three were noncommittal, and Carol gritted her teeth and stomped her feet and said, "Then I'll throw two of them, okay?" ”

Schiller sighed lightly, stood up again and said: "Well, there is no point in being harsh, in fact, if there are still a few rounds, no one can guarantee that they will not miss, the fire will always be lit, just like Ms. Carroll said, it doesn't matter if the brazier is not raised." ”

Carroll glanced at Schiller with some gratitude, and after throwing two matches, Schiller turned around and guessed with the clown.

Katie stared at the two of them a little nervously, wondering if Schiller and the Joker had agreed on any code to determine the type of punch they throw.

After the last round, she had the least matches in her hand, which means that she now has the most advantage, and if she can win again against the Joker and Carol, she will be sure to win.

This time the clown came out with the scissors again, but Schiller did, and after Schiller lost, the clown grinned and said, "You'll have to skip it, friend." ”

Suddenly, the other two's eyes widened.

But the clown only showed a terrifying smile.

Both Carol and Katie wonder if Schiller will continue to play by the rules, and Schiller hesitates for a moment before sighing and withdrawing his hand from the match.

Carol felt very confused, losing the opportunity to throw three matches at once meant that Schiller's winning side was cut in half, but he was bound to win, how could he allow himself to fall into such a situation?

If it were him, he would simply turn his face and not play, anyway, it is not the rules of the organizers, if he forcibly throws it in, he will not be punished, and more importantly, he can also use it to threaten the clown to make him retract his decision, but Schiller did nothing.

"I'll skip." Schiller said.

The soft sound of "da-da-da" came from the top of the ceiling, and several people looked up, and sure enough, the chain began to tighten slowly and began to rise gradually.

As mentioned before, the chain itself is in a loose state, so the first time the brazier is raised, it does not reach a height of 30 centimeters from the tabletop, and it can be more than ten centimeters away, and the flame in the brazier does not burn high.

This made Carol breathe a sigh of relief, if the biggest disadvantage now was Schiller, then she didn't want to die together, if she could win, why should she kill herself?

But watching the brazier slowly rise, Katie became more and more sure of her guess in her heart - the biggest evidence is the chain of the brazier.

This brazier is not very large, the diameter is estimated to be only 30~40 cm, and it is impossible to exceed half a meter including the edge, but the way to fix the brazier is very peculiar.

Many people have seen in film and television dramas that castles that use braziers often use three chains to hang the braziers, because this is a simple physical knowledge, the triangle is the most stable, and no matter how bad it is, the chain that falls on the brazier is concentrated at the top to a point, so that the side can also form a triangle, which is relatively stable.

But this brazier is not like this, it is hung by four chains, and the four chains go straight up and down, perfectly parallel, which is not at all the way that an ordinary brazier should be used to hang.

What is more obvious is that the two sides of the square formed by the dots of the four chains are parallel to the player, and the two sides are perpendicular to the player, which means that the square is placed squarely on the table, with a player in front of each side, and the four corners point to the place where no one is.

The parallelogram is inherently unstable, and there must be a reason for this peculiar way of suspension.

Carol also looked at the brazier that was gradually leaving the table, thinking about what kind of brazier was placed on the table, she didn't feel anything, but once it was in the air, something strange would be magnified.

She didn't expect any force analysis, she just thought that this brazier looked weird, you want to say that it was hung with four ropes, so why not make it a square? Such a small round basin can still use four iron chains?

But at that moment, the clown staggered as if drunk, and pressed his elbow on the table, and the table shook as he slammed it.

"What are you doing?!" Carol yelled angrily.

But in the next second, she watched with some shock as the brazier was slammed by the shaking table, and the flames above became bigger with a "whew".

In an instant, Carol realizes a terrible truth - pushing the brazier is the real way to play this game!

And the opposite of himself is a madman!!

Carol could almost immediately feel the cold sweat in her palms, her legs were weak, her arms were propped up on the table, and she was a little unable to exert her strength, she gritted her teeth and held her breath, trying to push the brazier directly into the face of the madman opposite.

But just a second before she could do it, the clown crossed his arms and grinned and said, "You must not have studied math and physics, right?" If you push it now, the other side of the brazier will hit the table. ”

Carol's movements were stunned, although she really didn't know any theoretical data, but she could also imagine the scene.

These four chains are firmly fixed to the edge of the brazier through the small holes, but there is no pulley to ensure that the brazier will not turn over, and you must not touch the hot lower half of the brazier to push the brazier, you can only push the edge with your hands, but if the downward force is too much, this side of the brazier is likely to knock on the table, causing the charcoal to scatter.

Although there was a strong brazier burning in the wooden house, the air was extremely cold, and they began to realize that the real gameplay of this game, what kind of match throwing, is all a disguise, and after the flame is lit, it is a push hand game in another sense.

No wonder the rules are limited to a one-meter range of the table, and if you go out of bounds, it is a violation, and if this is really a simple game of arithmetic, there is no point in drawing boundaries.

In essence, it is to find a way to push the brazier on someone else, either to smash it out of bounds, or to make him have to go out of bounds because of dodging, as long as one person is eliminated, the remaining three will automatically win, this is the fastest way to win.

But now no one dared to make a move, because the brazier was not high enough, and if it hit the table and knocked over, it would be all over.

Katie thinks she saw through it early, and Schiller actually realized the essence of the game a long time ago, so he formulated such rules, because he knew that the advantages in the match throwing game were useless.

But in this case, you can just choose to skip it twice, and then start pushing, isn't it? Why make such a complex rule?

Katie was a little puzzled, but the clown was already pulling her to guess the punch.

Katie was so distracted by her thinking that she forgot to observe the Joker's punching patterns, and made a random cloth, which resulted in the Clown coming out with scissors again.

The clown picked up three matches and threw them into the fire, then began to move his wrists as if he were going to shove the brazier in the face of the damn stupid woman as soon as the round was over.

Katie saw that Carol's hands were shaking when she guessed the box, and she tried to concentrate on watching the changes in Carol's hand muscles, and the next second, the fist, won!

Katie cheered in her heart, but she also saw the current situation clearly, now everyone didn't do anything, it was because the brazier was not in a good position, maybe the moment the brazier went up, someone would strike first, and the other person would suffer.

So you must not skip this round, because if the brazier rises in your own round, although it is possible that Carol and the Joker push each other, but what if Schiller on the other side makes a move?

Katie saw the brazier's structure clearly, and she knew that this structure was most conducive to pushing each other on the opposite side, and it would be difficult to push it at an angle, so the person she should watch out for the most was the opposite person.

Katie took a deep breath, swallowed her saliva, took out three matches and threw them into the brazier, and the flames burned even harder.

She estimated in her heart that there was another opportunity to do it, and that was the temperature of the brazier.

The temperature of this brazier was not low when it was put down, and there was a lot of red-hot charcoal in it, but after the open flame was lit, it was different after all.

Although this is an unrealistic game, anyone with a little common sense knows that the brazier will burn hotter and hotter, not only to the person who is hit, but also to the person who pushes the brazier.

It seems that the next round is coming, and Katie thinks that the next time it is the Joker's turn, he will definitely knock Carol out of the game, and this is the plan of Schiller and the Joker.

Carroll turned around and guessed with Schiller, and this time it was Schiller who won, and Schiller nodded at Carroll and said, "Two matches, ma'am." ”

Carol did not relax at all, she threw two matches into the brazier with a pale face, and then it was Schiller's turn to guess the punch, and Schiller won again, and he threw three matches into the fire.

Finally it was the clown's turn.

Katie thought back to her guess over and over again, and when she found that both Schiller and the Joker had their eyes on her, she felt more and more that her guess must be correct.

And she has also mastered the rules of the clown's punches, and from the beginning to the end, this madman will only use scissors.

"Rock-paper-scissors!"

Katie's rock beats the clown's scissors.

"Choose to skip!"

"I'll skip!"

The light of the brazier as it rose reflected Carol's stunned face, and she pressed one hand on the belly of the brazier and pushed it with all her might.

"Bang!"

A figure flew upside down, and Carol stood in place in shock, stunned as Katie was smashed out by Schiller.

"Ahh

Katie clutched her scalded chest and jaw and let out a high-pitched scream.

But Carol noticed that instead of blood, some disgusting black-gray mud was coming out of Katie's wound.

"Contestants - mud faces cross the line in violation of regulations and are executed and eliminated!"

"Bang!"

Countless mud splattered away, leaving no human tissue at the center of the explosion, only a puddle of mud that gradually collapsed.

Carol was stunned.

"What the hell is going on??!!"

Blind guessing is someone who has no knowledge in the brain
