Chapter 130 The Initial Deception
Liu Yuche didn't say anything else.
At the beginning of the game, which room everyone is thrown into and how many people are in the room are all random, and the situation Fang Yuan mentioned does exist.
but.
She stared at Fang Yuan and Fang Chi.
Are the two people in front of me really twins? In theory, the high-level pseudo-human and the real person are in a life-and-death hostile relationship, but in some cases, the high-level pseudo-human and the real person may temporarily cooperate for some benefit.
The twins in this instance will definitely be the focus of suspicion, but it is possible that players will have a rebellious mentality - "Twins must be fake people? How can it be that simple? This is the "Advanced Fake People Instance". In my opinion, they are real people."
If this is the case, Fang Yuan really took a risky move by taking the initiative.
"The number of people in a room is either 2 or 0. There are 6 rooms with green lights in total. Theoretically, there are at least 12 people present, but there are only 9 people here." Fang Yuan spread his hands, "Assuming that there are 12 players at the beginning of this instance, 12 players will occupy 6 rooms. There will be no extra items generated, and there is no conflict of interest between players so far. There is no reason not to come to the restaurant after leaving the room."
"Let's assume that there are only 6 players at the beginning of this instance, and each of the 6 players occupies a room. How can they meet the rule that only 2 people can leave the room?"
Fang Yuan looked at everyone coldly and raised two fingers: "There are at least two points that support my suspicion."
"First, there should be mirrors in your rooms, right? Once there is a crack in the mirror, the fake person inside will come out."
Li Ziyue looked at the scar on his wrist and frowned imperceptibly.
"How do you know that the fake man will come out if the mirror cracks?" Wu Tian, who had been leaning against the wall observing the situation, asked suddenly.
Fang Yuan looked him straight in the face: "I know you will doubt me because of this sentence, but if you want to catch the fake person, someone has to tell the news. To be honest, the mirror in my room was indeed cracked, but I also repaired the crack with my own blood."
This is consistent with what Li Ziyue observed, so we can trust Fang Yuan for now.
"Second," Fang Yuan continued, seeing that no one objected, "I believe you all heard it. At around five o'clock, there was a quarrel on our floor, and there were also sounds of chasing. At that time, my brother and I opened the door to check. However, when we arrived at the scene, we saw nothing except an empty room with a green light on the door."
"Whether there are fake people or not, or how many fake people there are, the players are definitely in the same camp," Fang Chi said, "Do you have any other clues about the quarrel around five o'clock?"
However, apart from a few people shaking their heads to indicate that they did not leave the room, there were no other responses.
"Okay, you won't tell me, right?" Fang Yuan sneered, "You are all players of this level, and I don't know why you are hiding this information."
"Now we can find the 'suspects'," Fang Chi took out a pen and paper from his backpack, "Write down the names of the people in your room. The players' rooms that don't match must have generated fake people."
The paper was distributed, but few people started writing.
Sun Yuancheng poked Li Ziyue quietly and complained in a low voice: "You top-ranked players are more individualistic than each other. The NPC hasn't even finished speaking yet, and you've already started to check yourself."
Li Ziyue glanced at the landlord who was standing nearby and seemed to enjoy watching them arguing, and shook his head silently.
"Why," Fang Yuan mocked, "there are so many fake people? You don't dare to write?"
"This is a check full of loopholes," Zhang Xingzhi said calmly. "It seems fair, but it actually favors you. How can you prove that the person next to you is really your brother, and not a fake person who has colluded with you?"
"Number one on the leaderboard," Fang Yuan placed a piece of paper and a pen in front of Zhang Xingzhi, "Aren't you well-informed? I'm sure you already know whether I have a younger brother, and what kind of people my younger brother and I are, right?"
"In a Werewolf-style dungeon, the person who is in control of the situation will definitely be the focus of suspicion. Do you think I don't know that? And how can we pass the dungeon if everyone remains silent?"
He stared at Zhang Xingzhi and said, "Writing a note is asking for your life or something? In any case, this is one of the ways to prove your identity. Don't talk nonsense here. If you don't write it, I will directly judge you as a fake person and kill you tonight."
Zhang Xingzhi looked at the two of them expressionlessly.
My younger brother Fangchi once reached the seventh place in the standings. His way of clearing dungeons is very personalized. He seldom follows the rules and guides. He is good at finding new ways and can easily find shortcuts to pass dungeons.
The elder brother Fang Yuan, who is ranked 18th in the standings, is good at clearing dungeons quickly. He will complete a task on the spot without delaying for a minute. He is ruthless and will never regret or change a decision after making it. To put it nicely, he is an efficient player, but to put it bluntly, he is an impatient player.
Both are tricky.
Zhang Xingzhi stopped arguing, picked up a pen and paper and started writing.
The final result is really intriguing.
The results summarized are:
Chapter 1989-Liu Yuche
Sun Yuancheng-Duan Yan (the man with glasses who never spoke)
Li Ziyue-Zhang Lian
Square ruler-square circle
Wu Tian’s answer was the intact white paper and pen.
"Wu Tian, you are indeed a fake person." Fang Yuan sneered, "I have been annoyed with you, a shady man, for a long time."
"I don't know whether to say you are mentally retarded or insane." Wu Tian crossed his arms in front of him, "Do you really think you can detect who is the fake person this way? We didn't leave the room at the same time, and your method of detecting fake people is easy to be discovered by others. Wouldn't the fake people have colluded early? You made a lot of fanfare to test it for nothing, XX."
He ended up swearing again.
Li Ziyue shook his head helplessly.
Fang Yuan has a bad temper, and Wu Tian has an even worse temper. The two of them are quite confrontational, and each thinks the other is a fool.
If Fang Chi hadn't held Fang Yuan back, Fang Yuan would probably have fought with Wu Tian.
"Brother." Fang Chi lowered his voice, "What Wu Tian said...I think it's right."
Fang Chi's sixth sense has always been very accurate. Fang Yuan swallowed his saliva and forced himself to hold back his anger.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing..." The landlord stepped out to smooth things over, "You guys can come here, you're not here for free, right?"
Li Ziyue looked up at him.
"Who says you have to fight each other to the death?" The landlord smiled slyly.
"Are you willing to sit and wait for death like ordinary players? Waiting obediently for the murderer to kill you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone heard the long-lost mission reminder sound in their minds.
[Congratulations to the player for triggering the "Mouse Eats Cat" side quest]
[Mission Difficulty: Three Stars (You are an excellent player on the list. The time when NPCs played tricks on you is long gone. Now is your hunting time)]
[Task requirements: Kill the twin murderers (this task is optional and not mandatory)]
[Task Reward: Boy's Letter Paper (You won't regret having this little gadget)]
"Player triggered"?
Li Ziyue's eyes flickered slightly.
"Whether you are a fake person or a real person, you can't escape the fate of being killed by the twin murderers." He narrowed his eyes and leisurely paced outside the restaurant. "Instead of doubting your identity, why not kill the common enemy first? What do you think? Smart players."
"Finally, I'll remind you," the landlord walked to the restaurant door, "you'd better not leave the residential building here. There's a thick fog outside. There are some unlucky things in it. If you get contaminated, you're doomed."
"Wait a moment."
Li Ziyue suddenly stood up, walked quickly to the landlord and grabbed the hem of his clothes.
"I have a question."
The landlord showed his impatience: "What? Ask quickly, I still need to arrange for a new tenant."
"Tomorrow... tomorrow when we come to the restaurant for the 'trial', will you be there too?"
The landlord smiled slyly: "I don't answer worthless questions."
Then he ignored everyone and left.
"It's incredible," Sun Yuancheng exclaimed as he watched the landlord's figure gradually disappear into the distance. "This is the first time we've encountered an NPC instigating us to kill an NPC."
"Actually, this situation is quite common," Zhang Xingzhi said, "You just subconsciously think that the NPCs are all from the same faction."
"But..." Zhang Xingzhi frowned, "The dungeon emphasizes immersive experience. Previously, the landlord directly called us players instead of residents... It's a bit strange, but this is the "Advanced Pseudo-Human Dungeon", maybe abnormality is normal."
"NPC?" Li Ziyue unfolded the paper he had taken out from the landlord's jacket pocket before, "I've never seen a landlord NPC holding a 'House Rules' and announcing the rules to us."
It was clearly written on it.
[Welcome to the Mirror Community. There is no charge for accommodation here, but in order to maintain the hygiene and safety of the apartment, the following rules must be strictly followed. If you violate these rules, you will be responsible for the consequences.
① Daily room reselection
Every day, residents of the community have to choose a new room, with room numbers ranging from 1 to 12.
You need to find the key yourself and must find it before 12 midnight.
Each resident is only allowed one key per day.
If you fail to find the key before 12:00 midnight, you will have to sleep in the corridor that night, which will have serious consequences and we do not want you to do this.
②The security guard calls for help
If anything unusual happens, be sure to call the doorman immediately.
Remember, the guards wear blue. If you see someone in black approaching you, get out of the way.
③Beware of twins
Recently, a twin murder case occurred in the community.
Be wary of everyone around you, especially those who live in pairs.
These rules are not only for your safety, but also to ensure the balance and harmony of the community. Anyone who breaks these rules will pay a heavy price for it. Please remember that the Mirror Community welcomes you, but it will also ruthlessly punish those who do not follow the rules. Good luck. ]
“Huh?” Sun Yuancheng was confused for a minute, “… No way, no way?! What do you mean, could it be that… that person just now wasn’t the real landlord?! Damn? Could he be a player too?!”
"No, even I, the great master, was present here, but I was fooled by someone's acting skills?!" Sun Yuancheng was devastated.
Liu Yuche, who was standing at the door, shook his head: "The person is gone."
"Shouldn't players be in the same camp?" Fang Chi asked in confusion, "If the 'landlord' is really a player, what is the purpose of his role-playing?"
"For the room key."
Li Ziyue silently turned over the rule paper, and a paragraph of text gradually appeared on it.
