Chapter 138 Grand Performance (9) "Animal Farm"
"Wolf dogs are loyal ministers, foxes are traitorous ministers, who will be the fox?"
"Whoever you click will be the fox! "
"Chisi, Chisi, Chisi!"
A reverberation of children's voices sounded at the bottom of my mind, making me dizzy.
Qiss played with the identity card, turned it over casually, and placed it upside down on the table, leaving only an indiscernible pattern on the back facing up.
The rules of the "catching the fox" game that Charlie mentioned are clearly inconsistent with the principle of fairness in the game.
Wolf dogs, tigers and rabbits all have the ability to take initiative and can identify or judge foxes.
Among them, the actions of wolf dogs and rabbits are accompanied by risks. If you identify them incorrectly, you will die. Compared with the tiger, the identity is more dangerous.
Compared to rabbits, wolfdogs are more dangerous. He had to act, there was no option to abstain.
The identity of the fox is different from the above identities. It has no ability to move. All it can do is disguise and muddy the waters, and then passively wait for other players to identify it.
Even players who are tigers, wolfdogs and rabbits can take the initiative to announce their identities and determine the candidate of the fox through the elimination method, and the fox has no countermeasures.
The only chance is to pretend to be a "rabbit", and after the wolf-dog points out the mistake, the real "rabbit" points out the truth, so that the wolf-dog dies and the "rabbit" wins.
Taken together, the tiger has the right to decide and judge, and has an absolute advantage; the rabbit can abstain, but it may not be unable to protect itself wisely; while the fox and the wolf-dog have no retreat, and who lives or dies depends on the actor's speaking skills. .
The voting in the first act has proved to a certain extent the fairness of the rules of the game in the play. The second act will really suddenly let luck take the dominant position, and everyone will be determined at the stage of assigning identities. Probability of victory?
Chiss picked up the three chips in front of him, rubbed them between his fingers, and looked up at Charlie who was standing at the table: "Mr. Charlie, do you think the rules of this game are fair?"
Charlie held on to his mask. He said loudly: "It's fair, of course it's fair. I can guarantee that the game I designed will satisfy the audience!"
This game turned out to be "fair"...
Everyone The risks and benefits of identity are all different. To achieve absolute fairness, unless everyone is a "fox" like the first round.
But obviously, such a lazy design cannot satisfy the audience; and if Charlie verbally deceives the audience, it will also make people dissatisfied...
Qisi had a guess, narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I have another question, after 'Rabbit' achieves a draw or victory, what will happen to the others? Will they all be killed, or will they pay another price?"
Charlie said: "After the rabbit draws, the number of times will be accumulated and nothing will happen. After the rabbit wins, everyone else gives a chip to the player playing the rabbit. The 'rabbit' draws or wins three times in a row, and the game will end."< br>
Qisi understood and asked again: "Do the chips have any special function?"
"It depends on how you understand it." Charlie laughed "ho ho", "This is The ticket to the game, the winner's crown, of course, can also be your life... "How special is it?"
"I understand." Qisi pressed the chip under the white paper. Say no more.
Hehui raised his hand timidly: "Mr. Charlie, can we communicate with each other?"
"Of course, Miss No. 3!" Charlie turned to Hehui and gave an elegant gentlemanly courtesy, " A little reminder, the gameplay of this game is to determine the identity of each player through verbal testing and communication, and catch the 'fox' hiding among you!"
He Hui put down his hand and used a She said in an uncertain tone: "I feel that there may be a way to end this game without dying. Just let the 'Rabbit' draw three times..."
Seeing no one to refute, her voice became louder. Then he continued: "Each of us announces our identity. The wolf dog and rabbit identify the fox together. If the tiger chooses to let the fox go, the rabbit will reach a tie and the fox will not die. If this happens three times in a row, the game will be over... By the way, I am the 'rabbit' in this round."
Cynthia smiled bitterly: "For this method to work, it must be based on mutual trust between everyone. There is no objection to the identity of the tiger and the wolf dog. But it is very likely that the fox will lie about being a 'rabbit' and let the wolfdog die due to the wrong identification."
"If a certain identity wins three consecutive rounds, the possible variables are huge. The safest way is to choose a victim in the first round of the game and end the game as soon as possible. The identity of the fox is the most vulnerable and insecure. He couldn't easily believe that Tiger would let him go, so he would naturally not be willing to admit his identity."
He Hui heard Cynthia's subtext and turned pale: "I am really 'Rabbit'... ...If I am not a 'rabbit', the real 'rabbit' will definitely jump out and oppose me."
"Not necessarily." Cynthia shook her head slightly, "Maybe the real 'rabbit' also thinks that. The wolf dog died in the first round of the game. It would be a good choice to end the game as soon as possible."
"I am really a 'rabbit', I can show you the identity card..." He Hui said, He had to raise the cards in front of him and show them to Cynthia.
Unexpectedly, the card seemed to be stuck on the table and could not be opened no matter what.
Charlie explained in a cheerful tone on the side: "In order to ensure the gameplay, players are not allowed to show their identity cards to others, and cheating on the cards is not allowed!"
"I am a fox." Qisi said coldly. Make a sound.
For a time, all the players' eyes were focused on him.
Everyone with a discerning eye knows that the identity of the fox is absolutely weak. When the chain of suspicion objectively exists, the identity holder will most likely not dare to expose himself.
And Zis is obviously a dark man who pursues egoism. In other words, anyone can expose himself, but he is the least likely.
Cynthia had already revealed the secret behind the two identities of "Rabbit" and "Fox". At this moment, Qisi's self-exposure became even more suspicious.
Is he a real "fox" or... a "rabbit" who is happy to harm "wolf dogs"?
Dong Xiwen looked at the portrait of the majestic and high-spirited wolf dog on his card and wanted to cry without tears.
What grudge does this copy have against him? As soon as he came up, he had to choose one of the two, or the one who would be in trouble if he chose the wrong one...
Qisi looked around everyone with a smile, and added slowly: "You can believe that I absolutely hope that everyone will survive. , after all, if you want to decipher the world view, it will be very troublesome if there are no clues in any room.”
Dong Xiwen looked up and saw Qisi's sincere eyes, and complained with empty eyes: "It's okay if you don't say it, but when you say this, I don't believe it even more!"
Qisi's eyebrows are crooked, with a look of "love" Believe it or not.”
Cynthia stopped smiling the moment Qis announced her identity. At this time, she stared at the white paper in front of her: "I am a tiger." Dong Xiwen covered his face: "Okay, I am an unlucky wolfdog "
There is no suspense about who the tiger and the wolf dog are. The question is, who is the "fox" and who is the "rabbit" between Hehui and Qisi.
Charlie snapped his fingers at the right time and urged in a hoarse voice: "The time for discussion is over! Next, ask the players who play the role of wolf dog and rabbit to write down on the white paper who you think the fox will be!"
and Hui quickly finished writing the name.
Dong Xiwen raised his hand: "What will happen if I write tiger on it?"
Charlie: "Death."
"Then what if I don't write anything? ?”
"Death."
"Co-writing is always a death, right?"
Dong Xiwen picked up the pen with a sad face, pondered for two seconds, and finally wrote a name on the paper, and when he raised his head again , and his expression was a little solemn.
The matter has come to this, there is no point in hesitating.
In the face of doubt, he prefers to choose trust.
If it's correct, it's the best; if it's wrong, admit defeat.
Charlie bent down, reached out and took away the white paper in front of Dong Xiwen, and announced loudly: "The name written by player No. 5 is 'Zhou Ke'! Player No. 5 thinks player No. 1 is the fox of this round! Let's Let’s take a look at the correct answer—”
Dong Xiwen stared at him with sharp eyes. Even though he was mentally prepared, he still held his breath involuntarily, just like the last second before the college entrance examination, waiting for the results to be announced. .
In the silence that could almost crush people to death, Charlie laughed exaggeratedly: "Congratulations on your correct answer! The fox in this round is 'Zhou Ke'!"
Rujiu The Sword of Damocles hanging above his head finally fell, making a hole in front of his toes. Dong Xiwen breathed a long sigh of relief.
He made the right bet, He Hui did not lie, and "Zhou Ke" also gave up harming others at the critical moment and chose to tell the truth.
Everything is going well, and it’s up to Cynthia next...
"As a 'tiger', I just write down on paper how to deal with the 'fox' Is it okay?" Cynthia asked.
"Yes," Charlie turned his back to the player like a host and faced the audience in the void, "Congratulations to the animals for finding the fox hiding in the forest. He is the No. 1 player 'Zhou Ke'! Next, let the tiger decide how to deal with this unpopular guy - kill or let go?"
Cynthia picked up the pen and quickly wrote a word on the paper.
After meeting the human skin collector who was transformed into "Zhou Ke", she wanted the masked young man to die.
The props cannot be brought into the dream, and she has no room to resist when faced with the ghosts who want to kill her.
In her dream last night, the ghost in red controlled the hideous corpse and restrained her. The nails with blades slowly and gracefully scratched her cheek, and murmured: " I just lack a mask of a hypocrite, and you will be the perfect raw material..."
That sense of despair still lingers in Cynthia. She is a very controlling person and cannot tolerate danger. room.
Of course she can kill any player and survive for a day, but what about tomorrow?
Since there is a great opportunity in front of us, it is better to take the opportunity to kill Qis and solve the problem from the root.
Cynthia handed the written paper to Charlie, as if a big stone fell to the ground in her heart, and she felt much more relaxed.
The word "Kill" on the paper penetrates the back of the paper. Even if the back is facing everyone, you can still see the ferocious strokes clearly.
Dong Xiwen's expression changed, and he looked at Cynthia with wide eyes: "What are you making a fuss about? You can obviously live alone without dying!"
Cynthia smiled, noncommittal.
In fact, she had murderous intentions as early as the first time she saw Qiss.
Wearing a mask, he doesn't look aboveboard at first glance; in a few words, Hansen is pushed into the spotlight. He is ruthless and vicious enough, and has the ability to carry out cruel plans.
Such a dangerous self-interested person made Cynthia suddenly see herself from many years ago.
She clearly knows the danger of such people and feels the threat that young people may bring to her.
It is difficult for self-interested people to form a group. Even if there is temporary cooperation, they will soon go in opposite directions. It is common for them to stab each other when parting.
When choosing a room last night, she really took the initiative to ask Qisi to cooperate with her sincerity, but her plan had always been: to get through the second act first, and then wait for the third act to act wisely to see if she could eliminate this dangerous person.
In a zero-sum game, when rationalists meet on a narrow road, one of them will die.
Charlie held up the page and read aloud with satisfaction: "The tiger's choice is to kill the fox."
"The result of the first round of the game is to kill No. 1 Player, Zhou Ke!”
