Chapter 9: The Unacceptable Truth

Everyone was a little stunned when they saw these three words.

"I drew the Liar." Qi Xia said slowly, "But it doesn't matter if this card is opened or not, because it doesn't matter at all." ”

He picked up the card and threw it in the center of the table.

"If I'm not mistaken, every one of you has a 'liar' in your hand."

After hearing this, no one moved, and after a while, Officer Li asked, "So...... Are you saying that everyone lied just now? ”

"That's right." Qi Xia nodded, "You guys are smarter than I thought, you all added a little lie to your story, so that the story is completely true without affecting the logic of the plot." ”

Officer Li thought for a while, as if he had thought of something.

"If you're right......," Officer Lee sighed meaningfully, "the problem is even more tricky." ”

Everyone looked at Officer Li again, not knowing why.

Officer Lee continued, "According to the rules, we can only live together if all of us choose the liar, but then the liar loses. So we ......"

Dr. Zhao was the first to understand what Officer Li meant: "You mean...... We can vote at will, because everyone is lying, and it becomes a "must-win game", only the person who is voted for is going to die? ”

"That's right." Officer Li nodded, "The best plan now is to concentrate all the votes on one person, so that the loss can be minimized, after all, the rest of the people can survive......

His words suppressed the atmosphere of everyone to the extreme, but the goat's head did not move.

To put it this way...... Are they just voting for one of them to die?

Qi Xia sighed helplessly, looked at Officer Li and said, "Officer, is it your hobby to like to interrupt others?" Does that give you a sense of accomplishment? ”

"What's that your name?" Officer Li frowned and replied, "Am I not helping you with advice?" ”

"I don't need you to help me." Qi Xia said without thinking, "Your ideas will kill everyone." ”

"What?" Officer Li was stunned, "Why did I kill everyone?" Am I not right? If everyone is lying, wouldn't any vote be valid? ”

"Officer Lee, Goathead said, 'The rules are absolute,' and 'There is only one liar,' do you remember?"

"This ......" Officer Li groaned slightly, recalling that the goathead had indeed said these two words.

"I'll sort out my thoughts for you now." Qi Xia said coldly, "In this game, it seems that the liar has a big chance of winning, because everyone feels that they are going to win, but if we vote at will, it will be all of us who will die in the end." ”

Qiao Jiajin, who was sitting next to Qi Xia, touched his flower arm and said to himself: "Because we broke the "rules" ......"

"Yes." Qi Xia nodded, "But the interesting thing about this game is that we can't infer whether the other party is lying at all, as Lawyer Zhang said, we can only infer by whether our respective experiences are contradictory, but we are not from the same region at all, even if what happens is contradictory, there is no 100% certainty to prove that the other party is lying." ”

Qi Xia looked at the people who were lost in thought, and then said: "The organizer deliberately chose the nine of us to sit here, and there must be his purpose, that is, to let us find the flaws in our self-righteousness from the seemingly interrelated stories. ”

"But is that really right? How sure can we know that the other person is lying? Qi Xia sneered, "In this game, the only 'liar' we can 100% confirm from the known clues is this one person. What he said is completely different from where we are now. ”

Qi Xia took the pen and wrote the word "human sheep" on the paper.

"I wondered why Goathead introduced us to the strange name 'Human Goat' in the first place, which seemed like a lot of things. Now that I think about it, that's part of the game. ”

Everyone slowly turned their heads to look at the "human sheep", but he still didn't make any movement.

Officer Li was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Liar, I have a question, the goat's head said that the rule is "there is only one liar among all storytellers", but he doesn't tell a story. ”

"Didn't you?" Qi Xia shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, "I remember that the goat head clearly said that he gathered us here to create a "god", isn't this an unbelievable story? ”

Officer Li lowered his head silently, he felt that what Qi Xia said was very reasonable, but he always felt that something was strange.

"But ......," Dr. Zhao began, "all your assumptions are based on the premise that everyone is a liar, but why do you conclude that we are liars?" What if we turn over the cards and you're the only one who is a liar? ”

"You can't tell the truth." Qi Xia smiled bitterly, his expression a little desperate, "I also spent some time verifying this question, I not only know that you are all lying, but I also know where you are lying." ”

He pushed his scratch paper forward, then looked at Tian Tian beside him: "Tian Tian." You were "working" in the car and stuck your head out, and the falling billboard really smashed on the car and made you unconscious? ”

Tian Tian pursed her lips, not daring to speak.

"Qiao Jiajin, you fell from such a high place to the billboard, is it really just "unconscious"?"

Qiao Jiajin was silent.

"Teacher Xiao Ran, did you really dodge the speeding car with that child?"

Xiao Ran's eyes dodged for a moment.

"Doctor Zhao, in order to maintain stability, the operating room is much stronger than the average room, but you said that the ceiling of the operating room is ruined, are you really just knocked unconscious?"

Dr. Zhao twisted his head to the side.

"Han Yimo, you said that you don't know what's going on at all, but when you concentrate on writing, you're most afraid of being disturbed, don't you know how you got here?"

Han Yimo sighed slightly.

"Lawyer Zhang, your car was hit into a crack, how deep is that crack?"

Lawyer Zhang clasped his hands and was expressionless.

"Officer Li, what brand of car are you driving? Is it possible to fold the chair down in an instant and break free from the restraints of the person behind you? ”

Officer Li touched the red marks on his neck, and stopped talking.

"Ringo, your ceiling has also collapsed, but you said that your studio is on the upper floor, and once the upper floors start to collapse, the whole building will not exist, right?"

Lin Yi bowed his head deeply.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Qi Xia gritted his teeth and said:

"Everyone, admit it, all of us, including me, are dead."
