"Dictating a past that I remember is not the same as the answer I gave before."

Yuan Yuxue tilted his head slightly, and there was no puzzled look on his face, but his gaze inexplicably made Andre feel a kind of embarrassment to be seen through - and then he heard Yuan Yuxue's words.

"You were once locked in a closet, and you left a word in the closet."

Andrei's pupils shrank slightly.

It's hard to describe his expression at that moment, anger, embarrassment, malice, or the huge killing intent pouring out at this time.

The butler and servants maintained a puppet-like silence, and Yuan Yuxue's breathing was almost none, and the sound of needles falling in the hall could only be heard as if some kind of bone had been crushed.

Andre's golden pupils seemed to be slightly red, and he stared at Yuan Yuxue silently, like watching the prey that would be hunted by him. After a long silence, he asked, "Do you think that's me?" ”

Yuan Xuxue's calmness at this time was like an indifference to the extreme, "It's not time for the second round of questions." ”

Andre "......" now looks like an enraged beast, ready to erupt from its dormant position at any moment, slicing open the flesh and marrow of the player in front of him. But unexpectedly, he endured it and raised his chin slightly, "Correct answer." ”

In the first round of the tracking game, the words from horror and guilt to resentment and despair that Yuan Yuxue saw in the hidden closet were not the players in front of her, but those left by Andre.

The two cards were put back in the middle, after a simple shuffling and switching.

Before the draw, Andre said, "I want to know how much you know." So the joker of this round will still be me. ”

This kind of cheating words that seemed to be provocative did not arouse much anger from Yuan Yuxue. While Andre was waiting for his cruel words, Yuan Yuxue finally looked away from the card and glanced at Andre with a little confusion.

"Don't smoke yet?" Yuan Yuxue asked.

Andrey: "......"

He touched the card in front of him with a dark face.

It's Joker.

Of course, it was only when Yuan Yuxue took away the ace of spades that he sneered and hung out the ghost card. His voice was slightly low and he asked, "It's the same question as before—of course, it can't be the same as before." Yuan Yuxue, what else did you investigate? ”

Yuan Yuxue looked at him quietly, and then her eyelashes drooped slightly, as if she was thinking about something. And Andre didn't urge, just sneered at him, and waited for the countdown of the answer time limit to leak to the last half minute, then he smiled sarcastically: "Ah, I forgot to say." Now that you're the last one to be eliminated and the game time is over, the punishment will of course have to be changed - how about spending a good day outside the villa? Yuan Yuxue, you should be quite satisfied, right? ”

"You've been dismembered."

After Yuan Xuxue spoke, the mocking look on Andre's face suddenly froze, as if he couldn't accept Yuan Xuxue's current words.

"Maybe before death, maybe after death, the organs were taken out and taken away." Yuan Yuxue asked calmly, "Do you need more details?" ”

This memory is not only impressive, it is simply unforgettable.

So much so that Andre's eyes were burned red, and the leisurely sitting posture he had used to sit in was now gone, his legs were tightly straight, his chest was rising and falling violently, and the hands on the table were even more forcefully white, as if he were going to break his fingers alive.

After a few silent, violent breaths, he seemed to calm down, and sneered and mocked: "Do you be naïve to think that what you see in the basement is important information? That's just something I took out to be scary, and I could fill the whole villa with the same decorations if I wanted......"

"So," Yuan Yuxue didn't mean to interrupt Andrei's words, he raised his eyes, and his dark eyes reflected Andrei's expression at this time, "Is my answer correct?" ”

Andre paused.

He confronted Yuan Yuxue silently, and even at a certain moment, subtly regretted why he had chosen this question-and-answer format.

Andrei seemed to want to remain silent forever. But under the pressure of the rules, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and his expression was almost indifferent, "Congratulations." ”

"That's right."

This round of Q&A seemed to be a serious emotional drain for Andre, and his malicious and mocking expression had been completely restrained by him, and turned into a strong feeling of resistance, full of undisguised killing intent.

It even makes people suspect that if it weren't for the rules, he would probably kill Yuan Yuxue in the hall without hesitation.

The strong resistance caused Andre to be passive for a while, but before the next round of gacha began, he still said, "The joker will still be in my hands." ”

Given Andrei's rule-favored mind-reading plug-in, his words also have a certain weight like prophecy.

Yuan Yuxue was slightly silent, his hand was already covered with a thin card, and when he picked it up, Yuan Yuxue's eyes were tightly focused on the back of the playing card, as if he wanted to see the pattern on its front through the thin layer of silver material.

"No, it won't." Yuan Yuxue said, "I'm Joker." ”

As these words fell, Yuan Yuxue continued to open the cards in his hand.

The pattern on it is "Andre" smiling and looking over, and it is also the ghost card that chooses one of the two.

At that moment, Andre's expression was a surprise and a hint of stunned that he didn't have time to hide.

When Yuan Yuxue answered his question, Andre was more embarrassed and angry than surprised, and at this time, it was surprise that prevailed.

How could Yuan Yuxue draw ghost cards, and how could he draw ghost cards?

"My question is," Yuan Yuxue sandwiched the joker between his fingers, and the snow light spilled, reflecting his fingers more slender and shiny, extremely dazzling, "Andrei, what am I thinking about now?" ”

“……”

Andrei pursed his lips slightly, he seemed a little unwilling, but he still laughed sarcastically, and said word by word: "You are probably thinking - I, a liar, don't know how to read minds at all." ”

"Correct." Yuan Yuxue said, "It's not that it won't be at all. ”

Andrey: ". ”

Indeed, the ability given to him by the rules is not a mind-reading technique at all.

Rather, it's cognitive suggestion.

From the very smallest, inconspicuous, harmless cognitive suggestion.

Every player's question, when he asks it, will probably think that it is a difficult problem that he can ask after thinking about it.

People always trust their own judgment.

But maybe even this judgment was hinted at by someone else?

High math questions, skit sayings, and even game rules are all questions from players who have participated in dungeons.

Information related to oneself, such as what he said and did after entering the dungeon, will be compiled into a basic analysis of the player, and the rules will inform Andre to ensure the balance of information between the two parties. Just as Andre knows that Blackskin is a college student, Akin likes to watch sketches, and Rabbit is more interested in the safety of his teammates than winning perfectly in the game, so that Andre can give them all kinds of hints that are in line with his personality and cognition.

All the questions that appear in your mind that you think are independent thinking are carefully assigned and selected by Andre.

Of course, no one knows how to answer better than him.

He can even influence other people's answering ideas and make players write the same word-for-word text as him.

It is very difficult to really change cognition, human beings will think subconsciously under contradictions, and resistance will make it easy for them to find abnormalities.

Just like Andre's suggestion that the player "helps the boss eliminate his teammates", this concept that is contrary to his own ideas will be strongly repulsed, and his thinking hints will be easily exposed.

But Andre just did something that was perfectly in line with the player's perception - just telling them that you had come up with a puzzle that might be able to knock Andre out by asking it.

In the unguarded situation, the game is like a game of free thinking.

However, from the first question, the direction of the chess pieces was firmly grasped in Andrei's hands.

Yuan Yuxue is one of the accidents.

Unlike the others, the system provides the least amount of information about Yuan Yuxue - perhaps vaguely, it is simply a blank.

Andre couldn't grasp the problem that was in line with Yuan Yuxue's cognition, and he could only keep avoiding Yuan Yuxue from drawing joker.

He can see the cards, which is a privilege granted by the rules.

Hinting at which card a player draws, everything is a carefully arranged "random" probability in his eyes.

And Andre's cognitive hint to Yuan Yuxue is just a simple "go draw the first card" and "go draw the second card", but this kind of hint that cannot cause resistance at all has been broken in countless games in an instant.

Yuan Yuxue rejected the cognitive suggestion that "changing a card may have a better chance of drawing a joker", and insisted on opening the card that was originally chosen. Thinking of this, Andre frowned slightly, and looked at Yuan Yuxue like a monster: "When did you find out that something was wrong?" Just because—I asked you to pick the card on the left? ”

Yuan Yuxue was silent for a moment.

Perhaps he should have told André that his core protection program was good, and that tampering with it, even the slightest modification, would be a Level 1 alarm.

But at this time, he only truthfully informed the most straightforward, even a little too willful thoughts.

"I don't like to be reminded."

This is the only thing that Yuan Yuxue is free and belongs to as a war robot.

There was silence for a long time.

Andrei spoke very blandly: "Not bad. Given his bad track record, he couldn't even tell whether the sentence was an appreciative or a yin and yang weirdness, but in short, Andrei said: "Then, keep playing." ”

Cutting out the rules hidden in the depths, the game finally becomes a little fairer. In the next round of draws, Andre undoubtedly won the joker, and he held his head and began to ask: "What was the most important trade I ever made?" ”

Yuan Yuxue recalled the story of "Monkey Claw" in her mind.

And the diary that the mother had cut through the paper and skewed it down.

All the information was simply strung together into a single line, enough for him to peek into the leopard and extend a complete side from it.

“…… And it. Yuan Yuxue added her answer very slowly but clearly.

"Make a deal with it, gain power, and become the person you are."

"You traded yourself to it."

After another period of silence that seemed extremely dangerous, Andre pursed his lips slightly, and there was a dark emotion in his eyes that was invisible, rising and lifting.

He has experienced countless days and nights, countless "birthdays", killed endless players, entered the same reincarnation time forever, and bordered on numbness. Finally, one day, he was exposed by a newcomer, touching the past that should not be seen again and was almost forgotten by him.

He sold himself to "it", a copy and a rule, gaining the power to take revenge, and at the same time becoming a ghost imprisoned in the villa.

Andre looked at Yuan Yuxue with an indescribably strange expression, but he still replied:

“…… The answer is correct. ”

Chapter 29: Tricky Game

Before Andrei became a ghost, he was also the young master of this villa.

It's just that his status at that time was different from now, and he was a complete pitiful. is not taken seriously, allowed to be bullied, and only has a noble title to cover up the ugliness.

He also had many "friends", but not so much friends as masters who saw him ridiculous and used him to fiddle with.

At the birthday party, the collar was stuffed with cold cakes, lying on the ground and learning to learn the dog to ride a horse, and the young masters giggled around him, saying that they wanted to play games with him.

He is the only one who is teased in the "trick game".

André leaned in flatteringly, and wrapped himself around his master's lap like a puppy.

The young masters were tired of the trick of hanging him on the balcony to blow the cold wind, so they stuffed André into a small closet, saying that they would come to hide and seek, and see how soon someone would find him—Andrei had been in that cramped coffin-like closet for two days and two nights, suffocating, dehydrated, and his nails were festering and pus, but the young masters who came to the villa laughed.

"Alas, we forgot about you!"
