Chapter 2: Lying
The woman's screams stopped, and so did everyone's thoughts.
The few men who were shouting and abusing just now were also silent at this moment.
Now it's no longer a matter of "breaking the law", this weirdo in front of him can really kill people.
There was silence for more than a minute, and the goat's head bowed slightly: "Very good, nine, it seems that you are all quiet." ”
The crowd changed color, but no one dared to speak, as he said, it was really "nine" now.
Qi Xia stretched out a trembling hand and removed a piece of pink and yellow from his face.
The shattered brain was still beating slightly with body temperature, but after a few seconds, it lost its life like a deflated ball.
"Let me introduce myself...... goathead pointed to his mask with bloody fingers, "I am a human sheep, and you are the participants." ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then they were a little puzzled, "human sheep", "participants"?
"Now you are brought together to participate in a game and ultimately create a "god." The goat's head said in a flat tone.
These two sentences in quick succession made everyone frown.
After these few minutes of getting along, everyone has roughly understood that the man in front of them is a madman, but this madman says that he wants to create a "god"?
"Create...... What God? The sturdy young man asked, a little nervous.
"A god like Nuwa!" The goat's head danced and said, he exuded a fishy smell, and his voice was hideous, "How wonderful! You will bear witness to history with us, where Nuwa created human beings, but turned into a rainbow when she mended the heavens...... We can't afford to lose Nuwa, so we have to create a Nuwa! There is a great task waiting for "God" to do! ”
His voice gradually rose high, and the whole person seemed to be beaten with chicken blood.
"Nuwa......" The sturdy young man frowned, always feeling that this matter was too difficult to accept, he paused and asked, "Are you some kind of religion?" ”
"Religion?" The goat's head was slightly stunned, turned to the young man, and said, "We are much grander than 'religion', we have a 'world'!" ”
After hearing this, the crowd began to fall silent again.
The question of the muscular man is very pertinent, and the behavior of this sheep-headed man is no different from that of cults, but most cults tend to invent a new god rather than use a heroic figure like Nuwa.
"In that case...... "what do you want us to be involved in here?" the stout man continued. ”
"I told you about it, it's just a game." Without thinking, the goathead replied, "If you win, one of you will become a god." ”
"The ...... of the Shovel Family" The flower-armed man seemed to calm down, and he scolded and said, "The 'God List' is right?" What if we can't win? ”
"Can't win......" The goat head looked at the blood stains on his hands, and said with some disappointment, "It's a pity if you can't win......
Although he didn't say it directly, everyone understood what he meant.
If you can't win, you die.
There was no "get out alive" in his options.
Either become what he calls a "god" or die here like that young man with a flowering head.
"If everybody understood...... Then this "game" officially began, and this time the game was called "Liar". The goat's head slowly pulled out a wad of paper from his bosom, and then casually walked up to each of them and put down one.
Then he took out a few pens and distributed them to the people.
There were a lot of blood stains on the table, and everyone's white paper was stained red when it fell on the table, and when I turned over the paper and wiped it with my hand, the blood red spread out like paint, making the white paper even redder.
"Next, I want each of you to tell you a story that happened before you came here." Goathead continued, "But beware, out of all the storytellers, there was one who told a lie. When all nine have finished telling the story, you have to start voting, and if all eight people choose the "liar", the liar is out and the rest are alive. If one of them chooses the wrong one, the liar survives and the rest are out. ”
"Liars ......?"
Everyone was a little puzzled, could anyone really lie at this life-and-death juncture?
"Wait, can we discuss 'tactics'?" The sturdy man asked suddenly.
"Whatever you want." Goathead nodded, "Before the game starts, you have a minute to discuss tactics on your own, do you want to use them now...... Or will you use it later? ”
"I'm going to use it now." The sturdy man said without thinking.
"Please."
The goat's head took a step back, away from the table.
The muscular man pursed his lips, then looked around at the crowd, his eyes as far as he could from the headless corpse lying on the table, and said, "I don't know if any of you will lie later, but this "rule" sounds too arbitrary, and if one person votes the wrong vote, we will all die." And even if we get it right, the liar will die, so it seems that there will be a dead anyway, and now I have thought of a way for everyone to survive......"
When everyone heard this, they all looked at the sturdy man.
Is it possible to let everyone survive?
"That's all of us not lying." The sturdy man didn't wait for everyone to figure it out, and immediately announced the answer, "The nine of us all told the truth, and finally wrote on this piece of paper, 'No one lies', so that we can survive without breaking the rules." ”
The white coat tapped his fingers on the table slightly, and after a moment he spoke: "Your plan is very good, but there is a premise, that is, "you yourself are not a liar", but how can we believe you? If you were a liar in the first place, then we would all write "no one lies", and you would be the only one who survived. ”
"What's that your name?" The muscular man's face was slightly angry, "If I am a liar, how can I make such a suggestion?" I just need to keep myself. ”
The goat's head waved his hand slightly and said, "The time of one minute is up, please stop communicating." ”
The two men snorted coldly and stopped talking.
"Now, please draw cards." The goat's head pulled out a small stack of cards from his trouser pocket, which looked the size of a poker card with the words "Nuwa Game" written on the back.
The sturdy man was stunned for a moment and asked, "What is this?" ”
"It's an identity tag." The goat's head laughed and said, "If you draw a liar, you have to lie." ”
The sturdy man gritted his teeth fiercely: "Are you kidding us?!" There is such a rule, why not say it in advance ?! ”
"It's to teach you a lesson." Goathead sneered and said, "Before I finished the rules, you asked me if I could discuss tactics, and it was you who wasted a precious minute, not that I didn't say it in advance." ”
The sturdy man's face was a little ugly, but he swallowed his anger when he thought of the goat's head killing method.
In a minute's effort, all nine people drew a card from the goat's hand, but no one dared to open it and look at it.
If the card says "liar", it becomes a question of whether you live or someone else's life.
The hands of the four girls trembled slightly, and the faces of the men were not good-looking.
This is not about "identity", but "life and death".
Qi Xia took a deep breath, casually clasped his card with his hand, and then moved it to his eyes.
Gently flip it open and take a look.
The words "liar" are written on it.
