Mr. Reporter - or rather, Merlin was right wrong about what he told Ivas when they first met.

Originally, there were two lines to this ritual.

The closer you get to the top, the more detached you are from reality, and the easier it is to investigate the beginning and end of the story...... This leads to a higher score.

But the closer you get to the bottom, the greater the win rate.

Because in this case, the advantage of dying quickly is the greatest.

This ritual made by Wei Zhe is actually not difficult. The main difficulty is that it starts as soon as you read the rules, and you don't have time to discuss and think about it at all.

On your own level, there is no need to do any investigation.

All you need to do is kill everyone at once and then kill yourself...... Then start the investigation on the next level. As soon as you find that there are still corpses on the next floor, you will immediately commit suicide to chase the promoter on the same floor. In this way, it has the initiative of "one layer".

Then just make sure that you are the first to die, and after committing suicide, make sure that this layer is completely free of promoters in the first place. That's where the zero layer is found.

Therefore, the lower the person, the more power to speak.

With this strategy, whoever reaches Layer 0 first is guaranteed to win - not only to win, but also to eliminate anyone at will.

"Because as long as the person who killed everyone in his birth layer successfully arrives and identifies the zero layer, then only he knows if this is the zero level, and everyone else's information must be problematic. All he had to do was find anyone who wasn't on his team, and kill them by suspecting him Merlin, or by negotiating a descent...... Then whether this person is Merlin or not, it is directly judged to be a negative. ”

Ivas said word by word, the muzzle of the gun slowly resting on his pure white temple.

Jacaranda's gaze became nervous, and the living silver closed her eyes and was too lazy to speak.

Chunbai sighed: "Whether you believe it or not...... I didn't do anything like that. ”

"I didn't say you did such a thing, sorry. But you do have the opportunity to do that. ”

Seeing that Chunbai was not angry at all, and that he could remain calm even in this situation, Aihuas's tone became a little softer: "After all, among all the people here, Ling is the lowest layer. ”

"What about Merlin?"

Jacaranda couldn't help but ask, "This reporter has already admitted that he is Merlin, right?" ”

Although she had just testified to reporters, she was quickly persuaded by the logic of the fox and pure whiteness.

The fox and the pure white are on two camps, and Merlin can't play two people at the same time. Therefore, the logic they agree with at the same time is more reliable than that given by the reporter.

"In short, you can't kill him."

Ivus said calmly: "Three situations. One is that this is Layer Zero, so you can't kill the reporter anyway - if you do, I'll kill Pure White.

"One is that it's not the zero floor, it's the first floor. Removing the lying journalists, the living silver comes from at least the fourth layer and above. Sherlock is on a certain level in 567, and when he comes down, he brings a lot of intel and pushes Merlin away.

"And the worst possible is that it's not the first or the zeroth, it's the second or the third. Then there is at least one of my companions on the top and bottom floors, and the other is Topa. We might as well wait here for the person from the top to bring the information, and then make a decision—he will be able to get the most information and pass through the most floors by investigating and collecting evidence alone.

"Daya, the journalist, the dancer – he must have been one of the three. We might as well just wait for him. ”

"—no need to wait."

At this moment, the reporter suddenly spoke.

His expression suddenly turned cold.

The ten fingers are crossed vigorously, and the body is naturally leaning back.

In a cold, arrogant and flat voice, he said slowly: "If you want to ask anything, just ask, I'm here." ”

There is no doubt that the journalist has become a "detective" by this time.

"How many floors did you descend?"

Ivus asked.

"Three floors. On the first floor, I met Mr. Topa, who was playing the dancer, and he was acting very stupid and still investigating...... But I don't think he can find anything. On the second floor, I saw the bodies of the couple, the Overseer...... The third layer is here. ”

The detective said calmly, "However, I have only descended three floors, but there are five people here...... So I judged that I could have gone down more than three floors.

"Look at what you're doing now, and the atmosphere at the table...... I speculate that Merlin may have just been using my body. Then he should accompany one of you, or several of you, down several floors.

"But since there were three corpses in my second descent, and all of them present—why don't you let him tell me about the numbers?"

"That's right."

Huoyin slowly opened his eyes and replied, "These are the people I killed. ”

After a brief silence, Pure White put away his sword. Ivus, on the other hand, thought for a moment and slowly put away his gun.

"I'm a fox."

He looked at the detective and confirmed, "If you're really a detective...... Tell me, what do you most want to do right now? ”

“…… Of course, find Miss Lulu first. ”

The detective looked a little disgusted: "My layer, then Mr. Topa's, then Mr. Silver's." And then there's the three of you. ”

As he spoke, he nodded to Ivus, Jacaranda, and Pure White: "You three can't be Merlin, because this body has just been occupied by Merlin." That means I'm at least coming down from the sixth layer.

"In other words, if Miss Lulu is not on the seventh floor, she is on the first floor. I'm worried that if she is on the first floor, she will directly commit suicide and be eliminated twice...... So let's go down as soon as possible. ”

He said, as if he realized something.

The detective glanced around and glanced at the cups on the table. He looked at the gun in Ivus's hand again.

As if he had thought of something, he paused slightly and looked at Ivus calmly: "If they don't want to, then why don't we both go down and have a look first." ”

Looking at the detective's gaze, Ivas was silent for a moment, and then suddenly laughed.

His eyes slowly lit up.

"Interesting...... It's interesting. ”

He muttered under his breath.

Seeing the detective like this, Ivas realized that his previous speculation was still omission-the premise of the "winning method" was that Merlin was not present.

Merlin can disguise NPCs as Promotions to make Level Zero look like it's not Level Zero, thus tricking them into continuing their dive. In this sense, if this ritual does not have Merlin, then it is simply unfair.

Because as long as the person on the first level chooses this strategy, his winning rate is extremely high. And how others operate will not affect his winning rate.

Just like the stacking game, removing the bottom layer has an effect on the bricks on top; However, removing the bricks from the top has no effect on the bottom.

Would Wei Zhe make such a big loophole ceremony?

Moreover, almost all seven of them are connected to each other. And although there are nine seats on the first floor, the room is only up to room 206. If there were two more, where would they live?

If the number of rooms has changed, why haven't the seats changed?

To sum up, Ivas came up with a possibility very boldly -

- From the very beginning, it was a seven-person ceremony. This is a ceremonial arena dedicated to absentee ceremonies.

Then nine seats is not a long one, but a hint. In addition to the front desk, there should be a "presence" in this inn.

In other words, there must be Merlin in this ceremony.

This ritual was originally carried out with Merlin!

So, who induced Ivus to come up with this winning method?

- Or Merlin.

In this way, Ivas understands why Merlin's acting skills were so lame before.

It's not so much about releasing water, but rather because it's not playing well at all. Because that doesn't matter at all.

It turned out to be waiting for me.

"I'm thinking about a question right now," Ivas said slowly, "you...... Is it really a detective? ”

“…… What, you stupid fox? What kind of demon do you want to be? ”

The detective frowned: "Do you think of me or Merlin?" ”

"I don't know. I really can't tell. ”

Ivas replied sincerely, "I don't know if this is the second exam question that Merlin gave me." ”

In the case of the "Law of Victory", even if it is only "existing", it is entirely possible that they are now on the zero layer. As long as the pure white of the first layer is removed from this layer, they are now the zero layer.

And as long as this is the zero floor, Ivas can't do anything to the detectives.

Otherwise, Sherlock will be eliminated by him.

However, if this is not Level Zero, and Ivus considers it to be Level Zero, and therefore chooses to kill the others or not kill himself, he will stop at this level and be eliminated.

This is the first game.

And the reporter who didn't look like Sherlock at all before suddenly became like Sherlock. If he had listened to his thoughts, then Ivas should have committed suicide with him now. In other words, the current "reporter" is persuading Ivas to do it again.

But here's the problem......

- Is this really the Sherlock that befell the "reporter", instead of Merlin, who changed his tone and began to play it seriously?

Is his word credible or not?

This is the second game.

Now there is no place for Aihuas to escape. He has no place to collect evidence, and Junbai will not give him more information.

Yes or no Layer Zero.

Yes or no Sherlock.

There are four possibilities for a two-by-two combination.

- All of them are difficult questions pointing to Ivus, and if you answer one of the two questions incorrectly, you will lose. Answer all the questions correctly to win.

"It's more like gambling than reasoning...... A 1 in 4 probability. ”

Ivas chuckled softly, "But I took it." ”
