Chapter 8: Showdown
These words almost woke everyone up, and they also woke up Qi Xia.
Yes, the chances of a liar winning are too great.
Qi Xia's brows furrowed, why did he have such a big chance of winning?
Lying to a group of strangers, they don't know themselves, they don't know themselves, and it's hard for anyone to see through a lie.
Could it be true that eight lives could be lost with a false name?
Or is it ......
The person who draws the "liar" is the chosen one, and this is an unfair game in the first place?
"No...... Qi Xia said secretly in his heart, "If you can survive if you win the lottery, it is better to write "life" and "death" directly on the card, so that it will be easier to achieve the goal." Otherwise, what's the point of this nearly hour-long game? ”
A deep sense of disobedience spread through his heart.
Qi Xia kept thinking about every word the goathead had said.
Don't......
"Hey, it's your turn." Qiao Jiajin reached out and patted Qi Xia.
Only then did he come back to his senses and find that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes.
It's too late to think about it now, otherwise I'll look even more suspicious.
I saw that he settled down and reorganized his thoughts.
His mind kept recalling the phrase "My name is Li Ming, from Shandong......
But at this moment, you must not use this answer, and if you want to find the "solution" to this game, you can only gamble.
Qi Xia opened his eyes and said to everyone: "Everyone, my name is Qi Xia, a native of Shandong, and I am a professional liar. ”
"Liar?"
Everyone present only heard Qi Xia's first words and exclaimed in surprise, after all, the character of "liar" appeared in many people's stories.
This liar also looms the stories of the people.
Ironically, they have to judge whether a "liar" is telling the truth.
"Before I came here, I was trying to figure out how to wash the two million in my hands."
"In short, it took a lot of effort, and finally I got 1.4 million. It's the most money-saving way I can think of. ”
"But on the way back to get the money, I suddenly encountered an earthquake, and when I walked to the door, I saw that my house was shaking."
"It stands to reason that you should never go indoors at this time, after all, the house is in danger of collapsing at any time. But I was worried about the people in the house, so I had to rush in at such a time. ”
"Sure enough, at the same time I entered the room, the porch collapsed, and I was pinned down and unconscious."
Qi Xia finished telling the story in a flat tone and a few words, and everyone stared at him vigilantly.
He knew he was doing something risky, but only then could he verify that he was right.
As long as the goat's head speaks at this moment, it means that his guess is not far from ten.
Just as Qi Xia thought, the goathead slowly stepped forward and said to everyone: "Very good, everyone has finished telling the story, and here is twenty minutes of free discussion, and after twenty minutes, everyone needs to write a name on the blank piece of paper in front of them." ”
"Sure enough!" Qi Xia raised his eyebrows, "Sure enough, there are twenty minutes!" ”
That way, everything makes sense!
Everyone was a little flustered at the moment, after all, there were only twenty minutes left before their life and death were decided.
Qiao Jiajin and Li Shangwu both wanted to vote for each other, perhaps because of their careers, the two were full of hostility.
And Dr. Zhao began to question the writer Han Yimo, after all, Han Yimo's story has nothing to do with everyone's story.
Lawyer Zhang and Xiao Ran seemed to be skeptical of Qi Xia, while Lin Yi, Han Yimo, and Tian Tian were still hesitating.
On the face of it, the liar is already going to win.
Because the number of votes is not uniform.
The rules are clear, only if everyone chooses the liar, eight people can survive together.
Qi Xia didn't participate in any discussion, and silently closed his eyes.
Countless clues swirled around his mind.
Goathead said, "There is only one liar among the storytellers."
The goat's head says "the rules are absolute".
The goathead said, "You have been asleep for twelve hours."
Qi Xia opened his eyes, and now there was only one last piece of information left, and this "question" could be solved.
But where is that message?
Suddenly, a light flashed in my mind.
The crisscrossing lines on the walls and floor made him wake up instantly, and he looked at the clock on the table again, it was almost 1 o'clock.
"So that's ......" Qi Xia's eyes widened, "It's so hanging...... I'm a liar, but I almost got cheated by you. ”
Everyone seemed to notice Qi Xia's strangeness, but the liar rarely spoke from the beginning, and they didn't know what he was thinking.
"Hey, can you give me another piece of paper?" Qi Xia asked the goat's head.
Hearing this, the goat's head was obviously stunned, and then asked tentatively, "You...... Still want a piece of paper? ”
"Yes." Qi Xia nodded, "I need a piece of scratch paper." ”
The goathead was silent for a long time, then took out another piece of paper from his suit pocket and handed it to Qi Xia.
Qi Xia was not polite, took the paper and began to calculate.
He counted the large squares on the walls, nine in all, and sixteen squares on the floor and ceiling.
"If you're not mistaken...... Qi Xia quickly wrote something, "the squares are one per square meter, which means that we are now in a room three meters high and four meters long and wide......"
"Four times four by three...... Forty-eight cubic meters. ”
Qi Xia's hands trembled slightly: "Not enough...... Not at all ......."
Everyone stared at Qi Xia in puzzlement, this was obviously a question of inferring who was lying, but he started the math problem.
I saw that he listed a lot of vertical forms, and finally came up with the numbers "54.6" and "49.14".
When he saw these two numbers, Qi Xia's face was as dead as ashes, as if he was trying to accept something.
If his guess was correct, the situation was terrifying.
His eyes kept fanning, and his thoughts had already flown out of the clouds.
The arguments of the crowd gradually faded down.
The man in front of him didn't participate in any discussion, he just kept calculating something, did he really find the "answer" to this question?
It was a long time before he raised his head and looked at the crowd.
There was fear, hesitation, doubt, and confusion in his eyes.
"Everyone." Qi Xia cleared his voice and whispered, "Originally, I didn't want to save you, but if you choose the wrong one, I will also die, I must not die here, someone is waiting for me outside, so I have to find a way to get out no matter what." I can only announce the answer here, and I hope you will hear me carefully. ”
"Pretty boy, what does "answer" mean?" Qiao Jiajin, who was closest to Qi Xia, was slightly stunned, "Do you know who is lying?" ”
Qi Xia didn't answer, just reached out and picked up his "identity card", and then slowly opened it in front of everyone.
"This is the identity I drawn."
Everyone looked at it, and the words "liar" on the card were particularly eye-catching.
