Chapter 17: Sheep and Dogs
"Sheep and dogs......" Qi Xia narrowed his eyes and thought about everything carefully.
At first, the self-proclaimed "human sheep" wanted them to kill each other, but now the "human sheep" said that he was very worried about them, and said that he could not watch them die.
"Isn't that lying......"
Suddenly, a bright light flashed in Qi Xia's mind.
Yes!
That's it!
Lie!
All this is in the same direction as Qi Xia envisioned, "sheep" and "dog" are not personal names at all, but "game types"!
Is it possible that the "sheep" represents the story of "the wolf is coming"? The child who herds the sheep has no one to save him because he has lied many times, so there is a "lie" in the game of "sheep", which is a game of "lying".
"Dogs" may represent loyalty, just like in the harpoon game just now, if they hadn't worked together, none of them would have survived by now, so is it possible to "cooperate"?
Qi Xia picked up the harpoon again and looked at it, and he knew that the "sheep" could lie when explaining the rules.
But in these few short sentences, which one lies?
"I can't watch you die," if that is a lie......
"Wait a minute...... Qi Xia slowly opened his eyes, "this passage is not an "answer", but a trap that kills everyone. ”
"What are you talking about?" Qiao Jiajin asked puzzled.
"It's all a lie!" Qi Xia said decisively, "Standing by the wall will "die", and standing under the hole is "life"!" ”
Dr. Zhao and Officer Li looked at each other, not knowing what Qi Xia was trying to express.
"Guys, remember?" Sheep are lies! Qi Xia stood in the middle of the room, trying to get everyone close to him, "If we do what he said, we will end up killing ourselves, this is the difference between a "sheep" and a "dog"! ”
"But is that really reasonable?" Xiao Ran asked a little timidly, "Only the top of your head has a hole in the entire room, how do you think that it is also the most dangerous place......
Qi Xia didn't think about this either.
What could fall from this hole in the top of the head to kill the people in the wall?
"Well...... Qi Xia thought about it again and changed his words, "It's okay, after this level is over, we have a high probability of going out, so you can choose according to your own ideas." ”
"How do you know we can get out?" Officer Li asked vigilantly.
"Because this time, there is no "teaser" about the next game in the prompt." Qi Xia replied, "There are two possibilities, either it means that this is the last game, or the organizers are very confident that they will be able to kill us all in this game." ”
The crowd looked heavy when they heard this, but they were speechless to refute it.
"Anyway, I'll stand here." Qi Xia pointed to his feet again, "As for how you choose, it's up to you." ”
Qi Xia knew that everything was speculation now, so to be on the safe side, he still picked up a square table from the ground and held it in his hand.
After listening to Qi Xia's words, Qiao Jiajin slowly came to his side and said, "I said it, I believe in you." ”
"But I'm a liar." Qi Xia replied coldly.
"It doesn't matter."
Lin Yi thought carefully for a moment, and also covered his mouth and nose and walked towards the center of the room.
"Hey! What are you doing? Xiao Ran leaned against the wall and shouted, "Do you really believe him?" ”
Lin Yi nodded slightly and said, "Yes, if you think about it carefully, who did we rely on to get to where we are now?" ”
Xiao Ran was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly felt that what Lin Yi said was quite reasonable, and after a while of ideological struggle, he also followed.
Han Yimo covered the wound on his shoulder with his hand and walked over.
"Your name is ...... Qi Xia, right? I believe in you too. ”
Tian Tian and Zhang Chenze followed and walked over.
At this moment, only Dr. Zhao and Officer Li were still clinging to the wall.
"Hey, aren't you coming?" Tian Tian shouted.
"I ......" Dr. Zhao looked a little hesitant, as if he had not decided what to choose.
"There's no need to force others." Qi Xia stretched out his hand and waved, "This level doesn't involve cooperation, as long as you can survive." ”
The clock on the ground gradually came to 1:28.
Officer Li narrowed his eyes and stared at Qi Xia.
He didn't think that this liar would choose to die at this moment, but why did he lead everyone to stand under the hole?
At this time, Lin Yi saw the thoughts of the two of them, and said to them: "Qi Xia doesn't look like he is lying, do you want to come over?" ”
"Can you see that?" Officer Li asked in a low voice.
"That's right." Lin Yi nodded, "Because of my work, I can tell if the other party is lying most of the time. ”
"In that case...... Officer Li and Dr. Zhao glanced at each other, silently stepped forward, and said to Ringo, "If a professional speaks, we will believe you." ”
Everyone picked up the nearest table, reached out and held it above their heads, so that no matter what fell from the hole, they could be prepared for it at the first time.
"You're pretty scheming." Qiao Jiajin shook his head helplessly, and also picked up the table board from the ground, he took a closer look, the current table board was more like a shield than the previous one, not only a regular square with a side length of forty or fifty centimeters, but also an unusually strong handle.
Qi Xia glanced at the time, grabbed Qiao Jiajin, and said, "Ready, it's coming." ”
As soon as the words were finished, the clock came to 1:30, and a loud chain sounded on the roof, as if something invisible was winding.
It's a pity that there is no reaction in the hole, and the imaginary "death" and "life" do not appear.
After waiting for a few seconds, the floor under everyone's feet suddenly rose sharply.
"It's broken...... Qi Xia's face changed, "It's worse than I imagined." ”
The noise of the crowd came and went, and no one thought that the "organizer" would actually want to squeeze everyone into a meatloaf in this low room.
"What's the situation?"
Without waiting for a few people to ask about the current situation, Qi Xia immediately shouted: "Squat down!" ”
The three or four people who reacted quickly immediately squatted down, but the despair in their eyes could not be suppressed, and everyone knew that according to the current situation, the floor and ceiling were very likely to be combined, and no one could escape.
Qi Xia squatted on the ground, his brain spinning rapidly. He knew that the direction he guessed should be correct, and the hole above his head would definitely be a "way to live", but how should he live?
The floor slowly rises with a loud sound, and the height of the room is cut in half in a short period of time, and everyone has to crouch completely to move in it.
Qi Xia raised his head and looked, and the rectangular hole above Fang Cai's head had actually come to a position within reach of his eyes at this time.
Taking advantage of everyone's panic, Qi Xia immediately made a decision, stretched out his hand and probed into the hole, this was just an ordinary hole, the space inside was huge, and the structure of the ceiling looked unusual, it seemed to be a hard metal.
"Is it ......?"
Qi Xia squatted on the ground and hurriedly lowered his head, and the ghost picked up his square plank from the ground, since the hole is the "way of life", and the plank is the only tool in his hand, what is the connection between the two?
Qi Xia put the plank up and stuffed it into the hole in the ceiling, and then placed the plank horizontally inside and pulled it down, and the plank was actually firmly stuck in the hole, revealing only a downward handle.
"That's what it is...... Sheng? Qi Xia's eyes widened slowly, and he instantly thought of what was going to happen next.
When the people next to him saw Qi Xia's movements, they also hurriedly learned from each other, and stuck their square tables in the holes in the ceiling.
"Be careful, you'll ...... later"
Qi Xia was just about to say something, when the floor under everyone's feet shattered into powder.
"Ahh
"I'm losing!"
Exclamations erupted at the same moment. Everyone's bodies led to the next fall, and the body subconsciously grabbed the handle above the head at this time, so it didn't fall directly.
Han Yimo gritted his teeth and held the handle above his head with his left hand, but he had lost too much blood and the strength in his body was draining, and at this moment Qi Xia watched his left hand loosen little by little.
