So he was taking the opportunity to demonstrate... Igula knew in his heart that Annan's words were almost like saying "I know you all want to grab it, but no matter what your plans are, I will be the final winner."
Compared with empty threats, this kind of confidence that seems to have everything in hand is more likely to intimidate people.
"But if this happens, everyone will guess correctly and get the same score, which is meaningless." An Nan thought for a moment, "Also, if everyone asks their own questions, they may not be able to ask some special questions... Got it!"
She took out a stack of notepads from the drawer next to her. "This is a 'reading notepad' that can automatically write down one's inner thoughts. It is in standard size 4 font. In other words, it is impossible to identify who wrote it by the handwriting. It is equivalent to an anonymous note."
She took out another black box and said, "Each of you write a question and throw it into this box. We will draw three and ask the questions. This way, no one will know who asked the question. With so many safety measures, you can ask whatever questions you are curious about, right?"
Looking at such a complete set of props, Igula knew that Annan had definitely prepared them long ago. Maybe she was just waiting for them to get mad and make demands, and then took the opportunity to propose this game...but why this game?
What purpose can An Nan achieve through this game?
When Igula got the note, he suddenly realized the fun of this game.
It is now known that everyone must answer honestly.
And the questions are random and no one knows who is asking the questions.
That is to say, even if Igula could ask "Are you planning to murder Igula, Ash, Archibald, and Liz?", he could find out whether Annan had any plans to wipe out the entire group after the Weaving Ceremony. And he was just one of the mixed ones, so he would not be hostile to Annan!
No... It's a rare opportunity like this, it would be a shame to only use it to ask An Nan. After all, the others are also in a state where they have to answer honestly. I can definitely come up with a wonderful question to get everyone's true feelings -
Igula was stunned.
He finally understood An Nan's intention.
This was a despicable and shameless conspiracy, but even Igula, who was aware of its cleverness, had to jump in.
No wonder the game is called "Guess the Truth", in fact the focus is not "truth" at all, but "guessing"!
When you try to dig into the darkness of human nature, you will only get the answer you want. Human nature cannot stand the test, and sincerity cannot be guessed!
"Brother Banji, do you have a small mirror?" Liz suddenly asked, "I want to see if Aunt Borgin has braided my hair beautifully."
"Of course, Miss Liz." Banji took out a small mirror casually, and no one knew where he got it from.
Pop.
After everyone put in their notes, An Nan clapped his hands gently and said, "Now that the questions have been collected... Mr. Bogin, please host the next Q&A and guessing sessions. After all, I took out the box and the notes. If I host it, you might suspect that I have set up some tricks."
Igula couldn't refuse such a reasonable request. He pulled out a note from the black box and his pupils dilated slightly.
"Ask a question."
"If you had the chance, would you murder the other five people present here in order to seize the Divine Master's wish?"
"Oh," An Nan laughed, "What an exciting question."
Everyone put the gold coins under the handkerchief and entered the guessing session. An Nan was the first to say, "I think the number of people who answered "yes" is 0."
"I have a different opinion." Harvey pressed down a silver coin: "I think it is 1."
"Me too." Igula followed.
Ash spread his hands: "I'm different from you. I choose 0."
Banji also chose 0, but Liz bet 2 silver coins. Everyone was slightly stunned, but soon relieved - perhaps in Liz's view, Annan and Panji were both bad people who controlled her, so she naturally thought that both of them would murder others.
But this is impossible, at least Banji will not do this - because the option of 'murdering the other five people' includes murdering An Nan.
Although Yaxiu and others did not know how long Banji had lived with An Nan, Banji was a man in his sixties. To him, An Nan could almost be considered his daughter. In addition, he had no children of his own. How could he possibly murder An Nan, his only relative in reality?
But the opposite is different. If An Nan is greedy enough, he might be willing to murder Ban Ji for his desire.
This is why Igulla chose to bet on one person, because the person who might answer "yes" present is most likely Annan.
However, when the handkerchief was removed, everyone was stunned.
4 "No", 2 "Yes".
Among the six of them, two of them can murder others without hesitation for the Lord God's wishes!
Igula looked around. First of all, his answer was "no", then Liz's answer must be "no", and Panji's answer was most likely "no".
In other words, the person who chooses "yes" can only be among An Nan, Ash and Harvey!
Even if An Nan occupies a position, one of Ash and Harvey must be a butcher who is mentally prepared!
Needless to say, Harvey was heading towards destruction when he escaped from Broken Lake Prison. Igula felt that his escape was just choosing the most miserable way to die for himself; as for Ash, although Igula believed that he could not be that kind of person, whether it was the hidden sympathy that Ash showed for Liz or his past actions, all proved that he had not yet lost his humanity.
But what if he was pretending?
Moreover, even if it was true in the past, does it prove that there is no darkness in his heart at this moment?
He can show compassion to the little girl, can get angry at himself because of Ronald, can attack Yongjie Changzai in order not to hurt himself... but he can also harbor murderous intent for the God's wishes.
The third rule of the fraudster: everything in this world has a price for betrayal. If the price is high enough, even the sunlight can betray the sun.
Faced with the incalculable benefits of the Lord's wish, any decision made by Ash was very reasonable. Even if he was truly kind, it did not prevent him from being cruel occasionally.
Moreover, An Nan is not necessarily another “yes”. Compared with these former death row prisoners, An Nan was a law-abiding gray area worker, which can be seen from her being on the list - illegal behavior will greatly reduce the weight of being on the list.
An Nan probably didn't even kill many people. Could someone like her, whose hands were not stained with blood, really make up her mind to murder Ban Ji, who had followed her for many years, and the innocent little girl Liz?
Ash and Xavi, is it a choice between the two... or the two?
On the other side, Ash had a similar idea.
There is at most one "yes" between Panji and Annan, he is "no", and Liz is "no", which means there is another "yes" between Igula and Xavi.
Among them there is a murderer who is willing to kill everyone in order to seize the Lord God's wish.
When Ash looked up, he happened to find Igula looking at him.
This is the horror of guessing one's true feelings.
You guess others' true feelings, and others will guess what you think. When the seeds of suspicion fall into the darkest place, they will sprout in the next quarrel, thrive in the next conflict, and then one day the big tree will be ignited into a torch by anger, dyeing the darkness of the soul with the color of blood.
"Trouble." Ash sighed: "Lis, I didn't expect there were two bad guys here..."
He pretended to talk to Liz and actively avoided Igula's sight, but Liz gave him a cold look, without any intimacy from before.
She seemed to be looking at a weed. There was no trace of innocence in her eyes, and there was even a kind of cold cruelty.
Ash was stunned, wondering if she had reached her rebellious phase so soon?
"Only Liz guessed correctly. Liz got 1 point. Everyone else still got 0 points." An Nan didn't seem to care about the previous question: "Next question."
Even though it was sunny outside, the atmosphere in the living room became somewhat depressing. Igula sighed inwardly. The first question had already planted the seeds of suspicion in everyone's hearts. He couldn't imagine what would happen in the second question.
He pulled out the second note from the black box, raised his eyebrows, and then rushed over to wrestle with Ash.
"Ah! Xiu!——"
"How do you know I wrote it?!"
"Who else is so boring besides you?"
Harvey picked up the note that Igula put down and couldn't help but burst out laughing:
"Haha, ask a question."
"Do you think Igula should wear pretty girls' clothes?"
