Chapter 069 Chapter 69
"Excuse me, host," Number One frowned and raised his hand and said loudly, "I have a question. We don't know each other, how can we confirm which one is true and which one is false?"
There was silence in the void for a while, and the host seemed to be gritting his teeth and smiled slowly with anger: "Of course you have to judge this matter by yourself, otherwise what's the point of the game?"
Number One frowned and said sullenly: "But..."
"The game begins!" The host announced impatiently.
The four people sitting at the table looked at each other, and no one started to speak first.
The host was satisfied with the situation and became a little interested. He calmly directed: "Let's start with number one!"
Number one asked cautiously: "What will happen if I don't say it?"
"It will explode!" Number three shouted loudly with hands and feet dancing. The sound was very sharp, like someone scratching the wall with fingernails, which made people's skin crawl.
Number One was startled, shuddered and nodded, feeling that no one in the room was normal, so it would be better not to cause trouble for the time being. He glanced at his identity, frowned and thought for a while, took a breath as an opening remark, and slowly said: "I'm a good person."
He stopped here, thinking that he had said enough. If he wanted to say more, he could only wait until the next round, so he pursed his lips and looked at the others.
Without waiting for their reaction, the host seemed to hold a magic wand in his hand, waved it at the people below and said, "Next, please let No. 2 speak!"
No. 2 originally thought that No. 4 should speak this time, but when he heard the host call him, he had to speak, frowned and said, "I'm a civilian."
According to the order, No. 3 should be the speaker at this time. No. 3 glanced at his ID card in panic, and quickly put the card on the table. His hands were shaking, and a few tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes. He smiled and said to everyone impatiently, "I'm also a civilian!"
His expression looked like he was about to cry, but his eyes and lips were still stubbornly bent, as if to prove that he could definitely laugh. Little did he know that this made his face look even more weird and really suspicious.
Li Qingshan glanced at him. He felt the gaze and shuddered. He lowered his head and tried not to look at others. His body trembled slightly and he looked very scared.
Li Qingshan retracted his gaze and turned to his own direction. He opened his ID card and took a closer look. As expected, it had the words "bad guy" written on it.
He got the bad guy card!
Li Qingshan remained calm, raised the corners of his lips, smiled slightly, and said in a brisk tone, as if guiding: "I am also a civilian."
Everyone's eyes fell on him, with a little questioning in suspicion and a little admiration in surprise. Only No. 3 was shocked, as if he had heard incredible news. He slowly turned his head and stared at Li Qingshan. His eyes were like a nail nailed into the wall, and he couldn't pull it out.
At this moment, Li Qingshan suddenly laughed and said, "Just kidding!"
Everyone was stunned.
In an instant, No. 3's face turned pale, and he took a breath of cool air. His chest kept rising and falling, and his hands and legs began to tremble. The whole person seemed to be placed on a shaking wooden horse and could not stop at all.
His chair followed his body and shook violently, hitting the ground, making a sound similar to the thumping of horse hooves, attracting everyone's attention. Everyone's eyes fell on him, and their doubts gradually intensified.
He reached into his clothes and touched it, as if he wanted to take something out, but his hands were shaking violently and he had no strength to take anything out.
He tried several times but nothing came out. Finally, he gave up, leaned back, closed his eyes, and seemed to give up his life at the same time.
His body was still shaking, but the shaking was gradually reduced this time. He made up his mind, or he had a foreseeable future.
"Now it's time to vote!" The host's voice was very happy. He was happy with everything that happened now. After all, it was caused by him.
"You can just tell me who you're voting for," the host's voice was devilishly tempting, and it actually sounded quite alluring, "or you can write the number of the person you're voting for on the piece of paper in front of you."
Everyone looked at each other, no one spoke, and they all gradually reached out to feel for the white paper on the table. There was a pen next to the paper, and they picked up the pen, their faces solemn, and wrote the number on the paper, as if they were writing a sentence of execution.
When everyone stopped writing, the host spoke again, with a tone of relief and joy of success: "Everyone has made their choice, great! I now announce that the bad guy chosen in this round of voting is number three!" Number
three's face was pale and a subtle blush appeared. Before he died, he actually smiled. His expression was very calm. He looked around at everyone around him and finally fell on Li Qingshan's face. Li Qingshan looked at him. This time he did not run away, but looked at Li Qingshan, then lowered his eyes and recited a drowsy language.
No one around knew what he was reciting, but they could hear that he was very pious. He was probably praying to his god that he would no longer suffer after death. Everyone
else lowered their eyes and waited for him to finish, giving him and his faith a last bit of respect.
At this moment, his whole body was on fire. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at his red hands expressionlessly. A satisfied and relieved smile appeared on his face. A turbid tear flowed from the corner of his eye. He lost his breath.
He was dead.
There was only a red ball of fire on his chair. The fire was quickly extinguished, and only black ashes were left on the chair. Then, the ashes seemed to have been swept away, leaving no trace.
The chair was still the same chair, quietly placed there, no different from before anyone came in.
Number One and Number Two's faces turned slightly pale, and their expressions were stiff. They had clearly realized that this was not a good place. The last person to die was Number Three, and who knew who would be the next.
The host was pleased to see this happen and said, "Now we start the second round. For fairness, let's start with No. 4, and after No. 4 it's No. 2!"
No. 1 and No. 2 looked at Li Qingshan with pity, as if he would die in the next moment. Li Qingshan smiled slightly, and they suddenly felt that their thoughts seemed to be wrong.
Li Qingshan thought about it, calm and relaxed, natural, as if he was saying an eternal truth, and slowly said, "I am a good person, and some civilians lied!"
No. 2 looked at Li Qingshan and No. 1.
If number three is a bad guy, the game should have ended after he was voted out, but now the game has not ended, so number three is not a bad guy.
He is either a good guy or a civilian. Good guys can't lie. If he is a good guy, he can't say he is a civilian, so he is not a good guy, so he can only be a real civilian!
There are only two civilians, one is dead, and the other is me. So there are only one good guy and one bad guy left, and good guys can't lie.
But number one and number four both say they are good guys. It is not a lie for a good guy to say he is a good guy, but it is a lie for a bad guy to say he is a good guy, and neither of them is against the rules.
Number two couldn't think of it for a while, and shook his head in annoyance.
If number three is a good guy, he lied when he said he was a civilian.
But he didn't need to lie, unless a civilian lied and said he was a good person, and he had to say he was a civilian to avoid suspicion.
However, if he said he was a good person, he would only be suspected, not violate the rules.
Isn't that better?
By the way, the host didn't say the result of the violation, but only the result of the vote. In order to avoid being voted as a bad person and executed, it is very likely that No. 3 chose a violation with a lighter result.
No. 2 showed a confused and suspicious look.
The host sang, "Number Two!"
Number Two shuddered, as if struck by lightning. He came to his senses and looked at Li Qingshan, then at Number One. He felt very insecure and frowned, saying, "I'm sure I'm a civilian and I'm not lying."
Number One looked at Li Qingshan meaningfully for a long time, then smiled slowly, "I'm not a civilian, and I'm not lying. Who is the liar? I suggest you vote for him! He must be the bad guy who is taking advantage of the situation!"
It would have been fine if he hadn't said this. As soon as he said this, Number Two frowned and looked at him. He felt that he was the bad guy who was taking advantage of the situation, because in Number Two's impression, only bad people like to guide others to target others.
Number Two made a difficult decision, glanced at Li Qingshan, and wrote down on a piece of paper who he would vote for this round.
"I'm glad that everyone has survived until now. I'm going to announce the voting results! The bad guy who was voted out this time is number one!" The host said loudly and happily.
Number one's face suddenly changed, and his face turned pale with a hint of angry red. His eyes widened and he stared at Li Qingshan, gritting his teeth, wanting to curse him, but he died before he could say anything.
Number two turned pale and shuddered. If number one was a bad guy, the game should have ended after being voted out, but now the game has not ended. The only bad guy can only be number four opposite him!
He covered his face, unable to bear it, and yelled.
Li Qingshan frowned and covered his ears.
The host picked up number two and threw him against the wall. Number two hit the wall with a bang and fell into a coma.
"Okay," the host hissed and sneered like a snake, "You win, but this is not over yet, come and see the second game I prepared for you!"
