Chapter 66 "The Strongest Team"
"Will you die?" Li Ziyue raised his eyebrows. "I only know that if I hadn't changed your room tonight, you might have died."
Before No. 4 could speak, he could only hear the system prompt.
[When night comes, all doors are locked and people cannot enter or leave the room]
The door locks on all four sides could not be moved instantly. No. 4 shook his head: "Although I don't know where you got this conclusion from... but it is obvious that we are now on the same boat. We will die together and live together."
He couldn't help but add, "Are you really confident? You gathered so many people in one room right after the first game. The risk is too great. Are you gambling?"
Li Ziyue thought seriously for half a minute, then smiled brightly: "Why not?"
“Isn’t there a saying that goes ‘If you try hard, a bicycle can turn into a motorcycle’?”
“Ah?!” No. 3 was shocked. “I’m done for. I’ve really gotten into trouble. I will never hang out in a livestream room of an anchor I’m not familiar with again!”
No. 5 ate potato chips calmly: "I'm telling you, I've watched Brother Li's live broadcast room for so many years, I know him best. As long as he smiles, this is a sure win. Now you can start calculating how much money you will get in the end."
"bite--"
The shrill cry sounded again, and everyone stopped talking.
Then I heard the system announcement.
[No casualties tonight]
"No casualties?!" No. 3 blinked, "Did the traitor not do anything?"
[The third round starts. The host can only open the room twice in this round]
This time, Li Ziyue opened the door between room 3 and room 4 without waiting.
A dagger was stuck vertically in the center of bed number 4.
"You..." No. 3 was dumbfounded.
It is conceivable that if No. 4 had not moved to another room, he would have been the one who died in the last game.
The house manager leisurely took out the second bag of fries and said, "Didn't I tell you that if you hang out with Brother Li, you can eat as many fries as you want? Want some?"
"Okay," Li Ziyue said, with a half-smile, "The bicycle has really turned into a motorcycle."
Without giving it much thought, he turned around again and opened the door between No. 4 and No. 2, waving at No. 2 who was curled up in the corner of the room: "Come here."
Li Ziyue's tone was full of obvious mockery: "Although I didn't get the money for killing people, at least I got the money for the clearance process. It's several million at most, which is not a small amount."
"What?" Number 4 was stunned. "It was Number 2 who did it in the last game? But he clearly stayed in his own room the whole time and didn't come into contact with me... There's also Room 3 between us..."
"I'll explain it later. Let's get through this step first." Li Ziyue walked towards the trembling No. 2. He lowered his head slightly and found that No. 2 was in a semi-comatose state. He sighed, helped him up from the ground, and took him to Room No. 3.
[Congratulations to player Li Ziyue for gathering all the real people in the safe room. This session is over and the points settlement in the live broadcast room is now underway]
【??? What happened? What does it mean? Why don’t I understand?】
[Ah? So it seems that No. 6 is the traitor? But didn't he vote for Brother Li instead of killing No. 5? ]
[It's a smokescreen~ Even if the anchor was a traitor in the last game, there is no way to completely kick the anchor out of the game, and No. 6 really has no definite reason to bite the anchor to death and kill No. 5, so it's better to "surrender" on the surface and pretend to be a good person]
"This step is not difficult," Li Ziyue stood at the door and cleared his throat, "Just think clearly."
He took out a folded piece of white paper from his jacket pocket and slowly spread it out. On it was a plan view of the six faces of a cube drawn in black pen.
No. 4's pupils shrank slightly: "...I think I understand."
"But how did you come up with this idea? Did you realize it the moment No. 5 was killed..."
"No," Li Ziyue shook his head, "I'm just an ordinary person, how can I figure out so many things just by this."
"First of all," he took out the note from the bedside table, "you all must have this sentence on your bedside table: '[Facing each other, it seems impossible, but only you can kill him]'. To be honest, this sentence almost led me astray at first. Judging from the point of view of 'facing each other', in the first round, only No. 5 and I were facing each other directly. So I am the murderer."
"But 'impossible' and 'only' are two things that cannot explain why number 5 died when there were so many people I talked to face to face."
"The second thing is the structure of the room. When I first came here, I was wondering what kind of room structure would allow six people to open the four doors in the room at will without encountering anyone else besides the six people."
"If you put all the rooms on a simple plane, it's impossible to achieve, but if it's not a plane..."
He tore off several parts of the white paper and folded and pasted the rest. After a few seconds, a simple six-sided cube fell into his palm.
"The room each of us is in is one of the faces. One face has four edges, and the four edges correspond to the four doors of the room. We walk through the \'edge\' and come to the other side of the cube, which is another room. If the model of the six rooms is like this, it can reasonably explain the above."
"Once you figure this out, this part is as simple as a kindergarten game, how No. 6 killed No. 5." He took a plastic ball from his bag and threw it up. "That's all."
"To satisfy such a three-dimensional room structure, six gravity fields with different directions and no mutual interference are required."
Everyone looked up and saw that the plastic ball slowed down significantly when it just left Li Ziyue's hand, and then its speed became more and more stable. When it was close to the ceiling of the room, it actually went straight through the wooden board above, and then -
Zhang Lian caught the plastic ball that fell on his head, looked at everyone who came to Room 1, and raised a faint smile.
"Eat cookies?"
Li Ziyue looked at the group of people sitting by the bed eating cookies and didn't know how things turned out like this.
He continued, "Regarding the safe house, I figured it out when you were questioning whether I was the murderer of No. 5."
"I'm the host. Among all the people present, I'm the only one who won't gain anything from killing people. So even if I find out the structure of the room, I won't kill Room 3. That's why Room 3 is truly a safe room."
"I have another question," No. 4 looked up, "Even if you guessed that No. 6 was the traitor, and someone else kept the door secret in the last round, how can you be sure that No. 6 would instigate No. 2 to kill me?"
"Ah, this," Li Ziyue yawned sleepily, "Actually, No. 6 might come looking for you, but no matter if he comes to you or No. 2, I only need to hold one of you hostage."
[Hahahaha, hostage...what the hell]
[How to avoid a murder case - one of the murderer/victim is not at the murder scene! ]
[Like a bug (dizzy)]
"First of all, No. 6 will definitely guess that I will move No. 5. If he doesn't open the door and cooperate with others in this round, he won't be able to complete the killing mission, so he must at least get a chance to open the door."
"In the first round, I opened four doors quickly. No. 6 was afraid that I would use three more door-opening opportunities quickly in the second round, so he would compete with you for the last door-opening opportunity."
"So he must be very anxious, but he doesn't dare to act quickly," Li Ziyue gestured the distance from the bed to the four doors. "This room is 5 meters long, wide and high. The bed is in the middle of the room, a certain distance away from the four doors. Suppose I just opened the door of room 6 and saw him anxiously preparing to open the doors of other people. What would I think?"
"If he can't come up with a reason why he's in a hurry to open the door for others, he will be voted as a traitor in the next video conference," Li Ziyue sighed, "So being a traitor is not easy either."
"He was waiting for my action in hesitation. After I opened the door of someone else's room normally, he had time to open someone else's room."
"Although his best solution was to find Room 3 and let Room 3 kill me, unfortunately, I didn't go to Room 3 in the first game, so the only rooms he could open were Rooms 1, 2, and 4."
"I'm number 1. He'd rather walk around me than open my door, so he'll have to choose between number 2 and number 4."
Li Ziyue looked at No. 4 and asked, "If you were No. 6, which one would you choose between you and No. 2?"
“…Number 2.”
"Yes," Li Ziyue curled his lips and nodded slowly, "No. 2 wants money, and helping the traitor to kill people can get money. No. 6 has a way to directly impress No. 2, but he may not be so sure about you."
[The conversion of points into money has been completed. Combined with the reward points in the live broadcast room, each viewer will receive a reward of 3.45234 million. The current audience will be sent back. We look forward to seeing you next time.]
[Oh my god! More than three million! The housing manager made a fortune! He invested one hundred thousand and got more than three million back!]
[It's totally worth it, everyone! The audience won't be punished if they die, only the anchor will suffer! Next time I'll do the same...]
[Quick, quick, quick! Is there any reliable anchor to recommend? ]
…
There were less than ten seconds left before the separation. No. 4 looked at Li Ziyue, and his face, which was so cold that it was almost impossible to see a gentle expression, finally forced a stiff smile: "I hope to see you again next time."
Li Ziyue just smiled and said nothing.
The housing manager grabbed Li Ziyue's hand and cried for three days and three nights: "I came in and ate two bags of potato chips, and I got more than three million. Is this the feeling of being carried away? I still want to be your housing manager, and I want to come in next time... Oh, my nephew always fails to get high scores in comprehensive science. Brother Li, do you have time to write a comprehensive science study experience? Next time I will..."
Before he could finish his words, Li Ziyue hit him back with a wry smile.
"If the foundation is not solid, the whole world will shake. Practice more and think more. There is no other shortcut."
After bidding farewell to the audience, Li Ziyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, so far the audience will only participate in a small part of the early stage of the copy, which has little impact on the copy itself, otherwise Li Ziyue would really feel his scalp tingling.
If the audience's emotions can also modify the rules in the copy...
That's really scary.
[Number of audience members who died in this session: 1, you get 1024 gold coins, and you will be sent to the "Snowstorm Villa" player preparation area]
[An error has occurred! An error has occurred! There are two players from different worlds in your room! There are two players from different worlds in your room!]
Li Ziyue was still holding the apple juice that Zhang Lian had just squeezed for him. As soon as he looked up, he met Zhang Lian's eyes that were as deep as the sea.
Noticing Li Ziyue's gaze, Zhang Lian raised one eyebrow slightly for a moment.
In fact, this action does not often appear on Zhang Lian's face.
Zhang Lian's personality is calm and steady to the point of being abnormal. Staring blankly with an expressionless face is his normal state. Normally, people would think that he is always daydreaming.
He rarely showed such a slightly frivolous look.
However, even such a serious person has an indescribable charm when showing such an expression.
Li Ziyue's heartbeat suddenly accelerated when he raised his eyebrow. Sweat began to appear on the palm of his hand holding the apple juice. He turned his face away and no longer looked at Zhang Lian.
As the saying goes, one who eats someone's food will be short-sighted...
He raised his eyelids and said helplessly: "Admit that Zhang Lian is a player in my world."
[Error Correction Successful]
Zhang Lian pursed his lips and didn't make any move, but Li Ziyue, who didn't even look at him, said coldly: "I acknowledge you only because you are useful."
He raised his eyes, and there was no enthusiasm or welcome in those slender and beautiful peach blossom eyes: "I haven't forgotten that in the primary pseudo-human copy, when you saw the poem on the wall, you immediately drew a circle between 'I' and 'old dog'."
"In the Suicide Peasant dungeon, you were the first to go up the mountain and find the key figure in the main storyline."
"And in this phase," Li Ziyue frowned slightly, "your range of movement is limited, but you can quickly think of the entire room structure."
He did not think that the 3D bird Zhang Lian finally made out of paper was a coincidence.
Three times, Zhang Lian pointed out the key points in a very light and casual manner.
Zhang Lian... Li Ziyue rubbed his brows.
It's not as simple as it looks.
Such a person has never been in the top ten of the standings, and the highest he has ever been is 11th.
At first, Li Ziyue thought that Zhang Lian was trying to save points in order to enter the advanced pseudo-human copy. However, this guess was instantly shattered after Zhang Lian spent 800,000 points to come to his world.
What exactly does Zhang Lian want to do?
Li Ziyue thought he could see through many people, except Zhang Lian...
Zhang Lian always felt that Li Ziyue should learn how to lie.
He blinked innocently and looked at the tips of Li Zi's ears which were turning redder.
It would be nice if this person could hide his ears that turn red due to awkwardness when he says harsh words in a cold manner.
…
[There are five weather elements in "Snowstorm Manor": snow, fog, wind, sun, and rain]
[You will have 4 teammates. We can now share some of their information: Zhang Lian is your teammate. Also, one of your teammates has achieved the 'No Spectator Casualties' achievement during the appetizer phase.]
[Oh my god? Is this true? No audience died? How did they do that?]
[Isn’t it the number one in the standings…]
[I think it was already the limit for Li Ge to control the death of only one spectator, I didn’t expect there would be something even more amazing, it’s stable, stable]
Li Ziyue, however, did not show any good expression.
For team formations like this that are arranged by the system, the system will generally strictly divide the players into several echelons based on their strength, and then select people from each echelon to form new teams, ensuring that each team has both big guys and rookies, and emphasizing a balance of strength without disrupting the balance of the game.
However, this game was clearly wrong.
No matter how Zhang Lian scores points, the system will be able to analyze Zhang Lian's true strength.
Currently, the five-person team includes him, Zhang Lian, and a player who has achieved "no spectator casualties"... It can be imagined that the remaining two teammates are not easy to deal with either.
Li Ziyue remembered that this copy was a 100-player copy that could accommodate 300 players. It was impossible that all these 300 players were as strong as them.
The stronger the team's overall strength, the greater the responsibility they have to bear, and the more dangerous the dungeon they face...
Besides, no matter how good a player is, how good can he be?
When it comes to a game like the advanced pseudo-human copy, no matter you are number one or tenth on the list, your whole team will be wiped out.
Li Ziyue rubbed his swollen temples.
At this moment, I suddenly want to go back to school to take the comprehensive science exam.
At least I can go back to the dormitory and have a good sleep after the exam.
"bite!"
[Welcome to "Snowstorm Manor"]
