Infinite weird games

Chapter 94 Hopeless Sea (Twenty-five) Yesterday-Yesterday

After the prompt "Contract has been signed" appeared, Qisi put away the blade in his hand and reached out to pull Chang Xu lying on the ground.

Without pulling up, he let go of his hand naturally, stood aside with his hands folded, and briefly stated the cause and effect of the incident.

"The three puppets were Hans, Ye Linsheng and Lu Li. After Hans died unexpectedly, I guessed that Lu Li was one of the puppets, so I went to confront him. In order not to be exposed by me in public, he removed the puppet silk from Ye Linsheng's body. Transfer it to me and mislead other players into doubting you."

Chang Xu climbed up with his elbows on the ground and questioned: "Why would Lu Li let others doubt me? What good will this do to him?"

"Not bad, he can analyze motives." Qiss praised and rambled casually, "The benefits of what he did are, firstly, he gathered three puppets and completely got rid of his own suspicion; secondly, it probably brought you and me together Stay on the island together so that you don’t have to compete with him for a living spot.”

Chang Xu felt that this reason was far-fetched and unspeakably weird, so he couldn't help but retort: ​​"With Lu Li's ability, there is no need to use such complicated means to exclude me."

"So I guess he has some plot against you - he also admitted this yesterday. But for some reason, he changed his mind later and chose the NE customs clearance route to leave by boat." As Qisi spoke, he bent down and pulled Liu Yuhan away from him. He pulled up from the ground, and finally pulled it this time, regaining some of his confidence in his own strength.

Chang Xu realized this later and went to help Liu Yuhan and asked, "What plans does Lu Li have for me?"

Qisi snorted lightly: "I have to ask you. I only know that he has studied you thoroughly and has a clear and accurate understanding of your behavioral choices and thinking patterns. He even took it into consideration when he decided to attack me. your factor.”

Chang Xu's pupils narrowed slightly, and the doubt in his eyes became more intense.

Then I heard the young man say sarcastically: "So, what I hate most in my life are idiots who start live broadcasts. They not only harm themselves, but also deceive others."

Is that what happened?

Chang Xu suddenly understood why Qisi put a knife on his neck and forced him to turn off the live broadcast.

The live broadcast function of Weird Game is a double-edged sword. Although it can make the massacre players throw a trap to a certain extent, it will also expose the trump cards of themselves and those around them.

He and many seniors held live broadcasts just to record as much as possible the mechanisms of each copy and assist the Bureau of Investigation in integrating intelligence and theories; but he didn't expect that he had only held two live broadcasts before he was targeted by Xila.

As expected, Xila was making big moves after being silent for so long...

Qisi didn't know what Chang Xu had in mind, but looking at his expression, he knew that this man believed that story.

He walked a few steps quickly and led the way: "Let's go into the altar and have a look. If nothing else happens, we will pass the TE level soon."

Liu Yuhan followed quietly, following Qisi back to the white stone platform surrounded by huge fish bones.

Chang Xu was at the end and asked persistently: "Those ghosts will listen to your orders because you gave the idol to Yuna and made an exchange with her, right? But why can they have enough money on me?" In case of harm to me?"

"That's a good guess." Zis tapped his chin with his finger, his voice pleasant, "Of course those ghosts can't hurt you, they just restrain you. If you are mentally strong enough, you can lie on the ground for a night and sleep. "

Then you will kill me, right? Chang Xu added something in his mind, and then asked: "There is a problem with time. You have known this for a long time, right?"

"It's not too early, I just found out last night." Qisi answered patiently, "I didn't sleep all night last night, so I just counted the bells and found that the clock tower was really cutting corners, and I slept longer than we thought. Twelve hours is shorter.”

A picture flashed in Chang Xu's mind. It was the morning after entering the dungeon. He asked the young man for the specific time. The young man moved the hands of his watch and told him with a smile that the time was "eight o'clock in the morning"... Now that he thought about it, that move of moving the hands was really suspicious.

"You lied to me." Chang Xu's voice was unconsciously filled with resentment, "You induced me to think that the clock tower chimes the time twelve times a day, which corresponds to the twenty-four hours in real time..."

"No, I just made a mistake in my judgment at the beginning." Qisi raised his left wrist and pointed the watch towards Chang Xu. The second hand on it did not move at all. "The function of the Destiny Pocket Watch is to 'mark objective time'. The time on the island is probably subjective. The scope of time, so the moment I was on the island, the pocket watch failed.”

He put his left hand back into his shirt pocket and continued: "My initial judgment was the same as yours. I thought that since it is clearly stated that 'the clock in the bell tower rings every two hours', the four times it rings will naturally correspond to eight o'clock in the morning. So I told you the conclusion directly. It turned out that I was wrong.”

Chang Xu looked suspicious: "With your level, it is impossible to make such a low-level mistake."

Qisi smiled: "Brother Chang, you think highly of me. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. I am a human being, not a god."

He said this sincerely, but Chang Xu still felt that the other party was deceiving him as a fool.

Zis is a man who has the ability to tell lies as if they are true, and insist that the truth is the case with an innocent face. Looking at his expression and listening to his tone, you have no idea which of what he said is true and which is false.

Chang Xu knew that he could not get any result from asking, so he had to return to the point: "So, what is the correct time?"

"During the prescribed sleeping time, the clock tower missed three times, namely eleven, one and three times. Converted into a 24-hour system, it is six hours less per day." Qi Si finished speaking, and afraid that Chang Xu would not understand, he added, "In other words, what you think is a whole day is actually only eighteen hours."

Chang Xu quickly calculated in his mind.

The second diary said, "From the time you go to the island, you will have a chance to leave the island every three days."

Lu Li proposed to leave the island tonight because he thought it was the third day.

But according to the eighteen hours a day, it is only the fifty-fourth hour now, which is two days and six hours.

We have to wait another day to reach the 72nd hour, which is the third day of the 24-hour system...

Chang Xu's mind was in a mess. He subconsciously rubbed the back of his neck with his thumb and asked, "What will happen if we don't go out to sea at the specified time?"

"Who knows? Maybe we will die." Qi Si had pulled Liu Yuhan back behind Chang Xu without knowing when. "Brother Chang, what are you worried about? Who can be 100% sure that the number of days is calculated according to the 24-hour system? Maybe I'm just overthinking, and one eye opening and one eye closing count as one day."

Chang Xu frowned and stated calmly: "But if the number of days is calculated according to the 24-hour system, then those who went out to sea early will will die. "

Qisi narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Ah, then they are really unlucky, they bet on the wrong answer of the two choices."

Chang Xu didn't understand and asked: "You knew there was a problem with the time, why didn't you say it?"

"I was going to say it at dinner, but unfortunately Lu Li didn't give me this opportunity." Qisi lowered his eyes and sighed, "I don't want to die, and I don't have any self-sacrifice awareness. At this time, I have to leave myself a way out. "

"Brother Chang, after realizing that there are two possible timekeeping methods, will they choose randomly and take their own lives to try and make mistakes; or pick a few unlucky people and try all the options first? "

The answer is naturally the latter. Chang Xu knew that if the players knew this information, they would most likely act more cautiously and choose four people to go out to sea first to see the situation.

And Qisi, who was controlled and had doubts, must be among the test subjects.

"Don't say you are a pragmatist and think that the lives of those four people are more important than the three of us." Qisi teased and stopped in front of a stone tablet.

The altar is not as flat as you would think from the outside. Only when you walk into the stone platform can you find that its interior is divided into two layers. A half-step wide deep groove encloses a circular area, which should belong to the core of the altar.

The stone tablet stands crookedly on the edge of the deep groove, and in the middle is engraved a line of words in strange characters:

[The dead stop here]

This sentence is like a commandment, as if it has a natural simplicity and heaviness, which makes people stop in front of it involuntarily, bowing their heads in piety and solemnity.

Chang Xu looked up and saw a white and towering statue standing in the center of the altar: three fish heads were crowded together, revealing sharp and dense teeth; below the interface of the fish heads was a human upper body covered with fish scales, with countless tentacles extending from the waist, extending in all directions, and there was a strange sense of symmetrical beauty.

"Brother Chang, there should be a stone tablet in front of the statue, which has the way to pass the level. Go there and act according to its requirements, and remember to find a white scepter and bring it out." Chang Xu heard the unhurried voice of the young man behind him.

A sense of disharmony was woven in his heart, and Chang Xu turned half his body and looked directly into the young man's eyes: "Why don't you go?"

"People who know more information should always have some privileges, right?" It was still the familiar voice, but the weird feeling was getting stronger and stronger.

Inspiration caught some clues, and Chang Xu's pupils shrank: "You can't go through, right? 'The dead stop here', you are the 'dead', and the puppeteer's puppet will be judged as the 'dead'..."

The answer was about to come out, and he said firmly: "You are not Qi Si."

"It seems that before the deep parasitism, my acting credibility is still not enough to support the layout needs." The young man changed to a tone without ups and downs, and his scattered and lifeless pupils did not reflect the shadow of anyone.

He turned to face Chang Xu, but his right hand was on Liu Yuhan's shoulder, and his pale fingers strangled the girl's neck: "Then let me change the statement that you can understand with your wisdom. Chang Xu, bring out the Sea God's Scepter to me, and I will release this little girl and your friend." Chang Xu's eyes froze slightly, and then the young man's eyes became clear for a moment, and he changed his tone: "I understand, so you controlled me to force Chang Xu to help you get that thing." "I guess the so-called 'Sea God's Scepter' is a powerful prop that can be used immediately, so you dare not trick anyone into the altar casually, but have to make such a plan... Have you ever thought that you have calculated wrong, Chang Xu and I have only met twice, and we are not familiar with each other?" "A moderate deviation is within the tolerance range. Even if you and Chang Xu don't know each other, it will have no effect on the outcome." The light in the young man's eyes faded, and the expression on his face tended to be empty. He paused for a second and said in an analytical tone: "Chang Xu, you are an intuitive animal who pursues simple justice. To you, specific human lives are more important than abstract props. A teammate who has shared hardships with you, and an innocent person who is ignorant and ignorant, you will never be able to give up on them with peace of mind."

The next second, the young man retorted: "In terms of pragmatism, giving powerful props to people like you may lead to more casualties, which is a big loss. But a fool may not think of this." On the other hand, it’s okay…”

What Chang Xu saw in front of him was an extremely strange scene. The originally handsome young man's expression changed, and his smiling face suddenly looked ferocious and terrifying. He was muttering something quickly and quietly, just like in a mental hospital. The madman was immersed in his own world and talking to himself, but his right hand was stuck on the girl's neck from beginning to end, strangling him tighter and tighter.

Danger, madness, insanity...all kinds of strange feelings combined with Liu Yuhan's face, which was as pale as a zombie due to suffocation, brewed up an absurd feeling of being very close to death.

Are you being coerced by evil people and exchanging props for human lives, which may lead to greater consequences? Or are you giving up the lives of the two people in front of you in exchange for the safety of more people?

If they don't agree, Qisi and Liu Yuhan will definitely die; if they agree, there may be a way to remedy it in the future...

After two seconds of silence, Chang Xu made a decision: "You let her go, and I'll go in and get the Poseidon Scepter."

After Chang Xu's back disappeared into the altar, Qisi took control of his body again, smiled and sighed: "Does Lu Li know that you would give up his life just to put up a smoke screen that 'the influence of the puppet master has left'?" ?”

In the dark red palace of thought, two figures, one black and one red, stood facing each other in the surging mist.

"Lu Li", who appeared in a black robe, faced Qisi, but no one's shadow was reflected in his eyes: "He voluntarily became my puppet. He deceived all of you and induced you to lure Chang Xu." Come to the altar and die well.”

"Is that so?" Chiss, who was wearing a red suit, sneered. "It's obvious that you claim to be a wise man who can control people's hearts."

"Make intelligence preparations in advance and thoroughly study the mechanism of this copy; let three puppets enter the game to form a numerical advantage and turn the camp information into a bright card; the layout established on the basis of such a huge amount of information is only calculated It’s a good joke for a newbie like me who has just become an official player.”

"Lu Li" tilted his head and said as if he didn't understand: "The tiger and the rabbit are also trying their best. The amount of information is also a parameter for calculating intelligence, isn't it?" [Note]

Qiss smiled wildly: "You're right, but it's a pity - you rely too much on the amount of information. This means that once there is an information gap, your layout will be full of loopholes and collapse at the first touch."

"Lu Li" was silent for two seconds and adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses: "I understand, you are crazier than I thought. In order to know my plan, you would not hesitate to make a big gamble for a low success rate and risk your life... "

Qisi loosened the fingers that were holding Liu Yuhan's throat, moved his right hand from the side of the girl's neck, and lowered it casually, raising the corners of his lips to almost reach his ears.

"Are you sure your puppet silk is wrapped around my little finger?"

The fog-filled palace of thought shook violently. The fog sometimes gathered and sometimes dispersed, making it uneven, just like the rough sea surface.

The young man in red seemed to have thought of some novel joke, hunched over and burst into laughter, until he burst into tears.

On the little finger of his right hand, the white and translucent bones flashed away.

[Name: Evil God Finger Bone]

[Type: props]

【Effect:……】

…

Far away from a distance that was too far away to be measured, in a dark cubic space, a man in a black suit opened his eyes.

He sat back on a high-backed chair, holding an exquisitely carved identity card in his right hand. On the card was a figure in white robes who was nailed upside down to a black cross.

In front of him was a chessboard with intertwined black and white grids, on which there were numerous statues of strange gods, large and small, including those of Poseidon, those of Contract, and many others whose names could not be named...

The man casually threw the chess piece that looked like the statue of Poseidon to the ground. The white porcelain fell into pieces after landing, and was quickly engulfed by black smoke steaming from the floor.

"Huidu can be classified into the first echelon, with strong randomness and unpredictability in behavior, and may take extremely high risks for uncertain benefits..."

"In order to ensure his victory, Qi did not hesitate to cheat, but he did not give him the [Scarlet Priest] card in the novice pool, and at the same time, he could not directly pull him into the game..."

"The situation is becoming more and more confusing."

The man's lips moved, and the lenses reflected cold white light.

He picked up a chess piece carved into the image of red clothes and red eyes between his two fingers, moved forward one square, and dropped it.
