Humanoid Machines [Unlimited] v. 23

Until the housekeeper went to collect the paper and read the names one by one.

Andrei's smile faded and faded until it disappeared: "......"

Eight neat names.

In other words, are you people sick?

Chapter 24: Tricky Game

When the names of all the players were registered in a seamless manner, even the players themselves showed a slightly surprised look.

They put their names on them, and their views are very pure, and they just ask of themselves, and I don't expect other people to be so conscious, even conscious that they are going a little too far.

Someone quietly glanced at Yuan Yuxue.

Some players raised their eyebrows slightly, and their expressions were quite annoyed and anxious at that moment.

Although in essence, in order to pursue a higher probability than the game, end this death quest early, every player should consciously participate. Those who escape will not be punished by the mechanism, but will also be morally condemned. But there is only one person who is an exception.

…… Yuan wants snow.

His situation is different from everyone else, and he has been targeted by the boss from the first level. Among all the players, he is the only one who has cleared three games in a row, and the physical and mental exertion is very high. With such a positive sign-up, it's hard to say that other players don't want to take responsibility and give him a little more rest.

After all, Yuan Yuxue should be really tired. He seemed very quiet, he spoke little, his dark eyelashes hung down, and when he sat in the chair, although his back was still straight, and his body looked beautiful and upright, it still gave him a very tired and lazy feeling, as if he would fall asleep in the next moment, and it was hard not to make people's hearts ripple.

Of all the players, only Yuan Yuxue deserves to choose to rest in this round without being blamed, which is reasonable from all angles.

But Yuan Yuxue didn't.

When his name was reported by the butler, someone's fingertips tapped uncontrollably on the table.

The rabbit looked like he wanted to ask the butler "Did you pronounce it wrong", but when he turned his head and saw Yuan Xuxue's natural expression, he had no objection, obviously the name he had written himself, and pursed his lips slightly.

…… It's also too well-behaved.

When the rabbit proposed to sign up voluntarily, he thought that maybe he could let Yuan Yuxue rest. Which Cheng thought that Yuan Xuxue did not exclude himself from the range of players who cleared the game at all.

She sighed slightly.

Curly's face is very heavy, and it is difficult to explain how anxious he is at this time, anxious and angry, and his heart is panicked. Subconsciously imagined that he would provoke Yuan Xuxue with a stinky face like before, and let him not think about anything to go up, this kind of game is not a lot of him alone. As a result, when his eyes touched Yuan Yuxue's face, he paused slightly, and moved away very stiffly and contradictoryly, and his earlobes revealed a little heat.

…… Laughing to death, I can't open my mouth at all.

I even began to examine my previous attitude, how could I be so irritable.

The wood is already in the boat, and at this time, it makes no sense to let Yuan Yuxue quit. On the plus side, as long as they can beat the dungeon, there won't be another round of play. Curly brushed his fingertips slightly, thinking that there were so many of them, they would not be tired of a rookie player.

In fact, Andrey proved that he could.

That gloomy gaze surveyed every player, and it was hard to tell if he hadn't secretly kept an account for everyone. It wasn't until he closed his gaze and covered up the malice that he said arrogantly and reservedly, "In this round of games, let's play the truth or dare game." ”

Players were surprised.

"Truth or Dare", no "Big Adventure", or a quiz game. It sounded like a very safe and non-dangerous newbie perk, and they couldn't help but wonder - could Andre be so kind?

It won't be in the name of Q&A, the content is essentially a killing game.

AndrΓ© ignored the questioning glances of the players, and as soon as he raised his chin slightly, the butler brought him a playing card. It was a poker stamped with Mithril, trimmed with gold, and the pattern was very delicate, and each one was very valuable and very heavy. AndrΓ© counted the aces of spades to eight in front of them, and picked out a ghost card and put it on this card.

"The rules of the game are simple." Andre spread out the cards, his fingers intersecting under his chin, and his expression was innocent as if the carefree young master was really preparing to play happily with his friends, "The person who draws the ghost card can randomly name the other three cards and let the person drawn answer one of your questions on the paper." ”

"Within 100 seconds, people who can't answer the correct answer will be eliminated and receive a small punishment."

Rabbit quickly asks what seems to be the deadliest and most crucial question in the rules of the game.

"So how do we know if the answer is 'right' or 'wrong'?" The rabbit said, "Is it up to the ghost cards to be the judges?" ”

"Yes." Andre said, "The person who draws the ghost card is the judge." ”

The rabbit's expression was full of suspicion, and it was almost certain that Andre had come up with a thousand, and if he had asked the question, wouldn't he have eliminated three players at once.

But if it were her, she would do the same.

Even if she proposes the objective law of "1 1 equals how many", Andre replied to her a "2", she could use five minutes to prove that 1 1 is equal to 3.

Andre obviously saw through her thoughts, shrugged his shoulders lightly, and said with a smile: "Of course, the judges are also subject to the rules. If you ask a question that you don't know the answer to, or if you can't fairly determine whether the answerer's answer is right or wrong...... will be punished by the rules, the severest. ”

The last sentence of Andrei's voice dragged on for a long time, and he spoke softly, like a lover's whisper, but it gave rise to a chilling sense of danger.

- They don't want to know what that punishment is.

This thought came to everyone's minds at the same time.

In short, the idea of coming up with some unsolved puzzle in the world to eliminate the answerer is removed, and the idea of cheating and eliminating a specific object can also be ruined.

Andrei said lazily: "When you are eliminated to the last person left, the game is over." ”

Of course, if that person is Andrei, all players will be punished.

If you are a player, you will win the game and clear the level smoothly.

It's no wonder that as long as one player stands last, they win.

The long table at which the players are sitting is not suitable for this kind of card drawing game, and in order to prevent the unfairness caused by passing through the hands of NPCs such as butlers or servants, everyone tacitly changes to a small round table, and everyone is only separated by a short distance, and the cards are placed in the middle, and everyone can reach out and draw them.

Switching positions again, Curly looked at Yuan Yuxue sitting in a skirt and Ah Jin on the left and right, his face darkened slightly, and he sat on the vacant seat next to Andre with a calm face.

Andre seemed to be in a good mood and gave him a appreciative smile.

Curly hair: "......" bad luck.

The nine cards are spread in the center, and Andre is the first to draw, clockwise. Wait for the next round of questions and answers, start to draw cards from the curly hair on Andre's right hand, and get the first card draw right in turn, the order is very fair, and you can't find faults.

On the face of it, this game is played by eight players against Andre. But in fact, from the details, players can't take much advantage, and the number of people has become a limit to some extent.

The randomness of the specified cards makes it impossible for even players who draw ghost cards to accurately target Andre, and can only bet on the three-eighths probability in them.

At the same time, this also puts a layer of shackles on the players who ask questions:

It can't be difficult, otherwise you can't eliminate Andre.

It can't be too difficult, or you might accidentally injure the other two teammates.

It's not good, Andrei didn't eliminate it, but eliminated the characters from his own camp...... It has become a veritable teammate killer.

And this is different from ordinary games, in ordinary games, it is normal to "sell teammates" in order to win the game, as long as you guarantee that you win in the end, and even your teammates themselves will not care. However, under the current rules, eliminating teammates can result in a real, potentially fatal punishment, making it impossible for them to simply divide teammates into winning instruments.

In comparison, Andre is much easier, if he is a ghost card, the three people drawn at random are his opposing camp.

It's like asking if you don't die, you just have to die, and it doesn't have to be too easy to eliminate players - the rules won't allow for such a very unbalanced situation, so Andre must be constrained in some way. But he will not actively expose it to the players, and can only rely on the players to discover it on their own.

The cold and heavy playing cards have been distributed to everyone in turn, and the first round of quiz games has begun.

Yuan Yuxue lowered her eyes, and her gaze fell on her card.

The cards are a little thick, with sharp edges, and can be used almost as a knife edge. The pattern on it is very exquisite, slightly undulating, and it is a vivid monster pattern.

Yuan Yuxue has seen it.

It was a monster with human limbs, long hands and feet, but a dog's face.

Andrey's "dog".

It seemed to be alive, grinning at Yuan Yuxue's teeth and opening its mouth viciously, as if it could drill out of the card in the next moment and bite Yuan Yuxue's fingertips.

But Yuan Yuxue didn't care about the weirdly real poker card pattern at all, and her eyes were all focused on the number in the upper left corner of it.

"Three of spades".

At the same time, Andrei was smiling and uncovering the card in front of him-

Very narcissistic, the card shows a drawing of him wearing a black suit and sitting next to a mirror. Andre above looks slightly pale, elegant and restrained, he is a temperamental young master, surrounded by a circle of people, stars and moons.

Curly sneered disdainfully.

But that's not the point, but the most important thing is that the card has a joker in the upper left corner.

The first round of Q&A began with Andrey.

The players looked slightly solemn, ready to deal with Andre's troubles.

Andrei smiled and said, "The ace of spades, the six of spades, the three of spades...... Answer my question. ”

"What color do I like?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The three named men silently spread out their cards.

They are the line, the skirt and the Yuan desire snow.

The curly-haired brow couldn't have been tighter, and in all fairness, the question wasn't complicated, but it was particularly evil...... Who knows what color you like.

The butler handed out the pen and paper to the three players.

What color does Andrei like and where to look at it?

As the owner of the villa, he should also be able to get a glimpse of his preferences from the interior decoration of the villa. The color decoration of the interior of the banquet room is not complicated, with warm yellow chandeliers, cyan fireplaces, red carpets, white and gray statues, and a large area of interior as a whole in light gray tones, and most of the exterior is also the same.

As a dangerous NPC, and most likely a dead ghost boss, it's very reasonable to like some dark colors.

There was a hundred seconds to answer, and while the others were still thinking about it, the line that got the paper almost didn't hesitate to write down the answer.

Chapter 25: Tricky Game

The nib of the fountain pen flows smoothly with ink, leaving behind a beautiful string of text.

The onlookers were slightly stunned when they noticed it, and said in their hearts that even if this team is a senior player, team captain, and has good strength, it is not so powerful...... Can you still see what color the boss prefers?

But soon they realized something.

Yuan Yuxue also picked up the pen. He lowered his eyes, rolled up his cuffs slightly, revealing a pale, powerful wrist, and wrote his answer on paper with a pen.

Forced by the rules, they couldn't communicate their conclusions, but the actions of the team and Yuan Xuxue were already some kind of prompt, and the skirt probably reacted for a few seconds, and then picked up the pen and wrote the paper.

Their time to answer is the best hint of this.

As a very simple question of the subject, this answer can be written in about two or three seconds, after all, it is not a complicated text to fill in a color. There is only one possibility to answer a paragraph like such a small composition-
