Chapter 301

When Chu Zhao saw Su Bai return to his room, his eyes revealed a hint of suspicion. Then, he smiled. "Pretending to be a lunatic is interesting."

After returning to his room, Su Bai sat on the chair and began to empty his mind. According to the clues he had obtained previously, Su Bai had now figured out the specific parts of the voting game.

The voting game was still a voting game. It was divided into two gaming circles. Each circle had 10 men and 10 women. However, according to the words of the host of the horror broadcast at the beginning of this story world:

"20 young people, all between 20 and 30 years old. 10 men and 10 women. It's very balanced, isn't it?

At this moment, they were all lying on their beds and preparing to sleep. However, they suddenly realized that their bedroom had changed.

A bloody game of order and choice..,

Has begun... "

20 young people. This was what the host of the horror broadcast had said. Were these 20 young people really referring to one gaming circle?

No..,

It should be referring to two gaming circles!

From the beginning, it was impossible for there to be a lie. If even the beginning of the horror broadcast host's words and the information given at the beginning was a lie, then it would be too low for the horror broadcast.

Then, to make a reverse inference, first of all, to verify the sentence of the horror broadcast, 10 men and 10 women, was absolutely correct. Then, it meant that no matter how many gaming circles there were, there were still 20 people in total!

Now, there were two gaming circles. There were 20 people on each side, and there were 40 people in total. According to the previous inference, it meant that only half of these 40 people were real listeners.

There were still half of them left, which was 20 people.

It was..

Ghost!

This kind of ghost was not the ghost that people turned into after they died. It was more similar to a computer player in a game. For example, in a battle game, the requirement was 5v5, but there were only four players. In the end, there could also be two real players on each side, and three players on each side could join in.

Here, the rules of the story world should also be used in the same way. There were only 20 listeners, and it had to be divided into two gaming circles. The real players were actually equivalent to two people who could travel back and forth between the gaming circles on both sides. Then, this would cause a huge waste. The other listeners, or the other players, did not have the qualifications. Could it be that they could only die endlessly?

That was obviously impossible!

If that was the case, the fun and unfair principle of the game would be completely broken. Therefore, the rules of this story world also created ghosts. They were equivalent to computer players who accompanied the prince to study. They did not know that they were computer players, did not know that they were fake, and did not know that they were ghosts. They treated themselves as real listeners and thought that they were also a member of the story. They also had the desire and impulse to live.

However, because they were created by the rules of this story world, the rules of this story world had the final right to their interpretation. Some of their actions, a certain meaning of their existence, and even whether they existed or not, could be changed, modified, and adapted according to the rules of the story. They could not control themselves at all, and they were completely unaware.

Previously, Su Bai had been struggling with a problem. If people could travel back and forth between the two game circles, how to count the number of people, the number of voters, the voting rules, and so on? There would be many loopholes and bugs in many places due to the change of personnel. However, it now seemed that the horror broadcast had actually solved these loopholes and bugs long ago. The method was very simple. In these two game circles, each side had its own ten ghosts. It was a simple thing to fiddle with the number of people, voting rules, and so on to carry out its own backdoor arrangements.

For example, when Su Bai entered this gaming circle, a certain ghost would disappear? It just so happened that the total number of votes would not change, right?

This could perfectly solve this logical problem. Of course, the rules of this story world had another great weapon, and that was the person who traveled back and forth. To those who did not know him, they would think that he had always been there, just keeping a low profile.

With this terrifying ability to change people's perception of things, and with the help of 20 ghosts to solve the inherent loopholes in the logic, this complicated voting game could really run perfectly.

Only a terrorist broadcast would be able to organize such a game.

Su Bai silently rubbed the space between his eyebrows. To be honest, this kind of game was very oppressive. It did not have the atmosphere of a game at all. Instead, it brought out the scheming on many levels.

The two people who could travel back and forth freely in each circle had much more pressure than the normal audience. They were basically people who were nominated by the two circles and forced into the arena. Those who won would complete the mission and return to the real world. Those who died would be trapped here forever, accompanied by the spirits of the dead.

Qin Yang was the person nominated by the gaming circle. After he joined Su Bai's circle, he had been observing and searching for the person who had the ability to travel back and forth between the two circles.

Of course, he found it in the end.

It was Chen Yixin.

However, to Qin Yang's surprise, Chen Yixin was pulled along by the crazy Su Bai to increase her exposure. In the end, she was mysteriously killed by the highest number of votes. Qin Yang's character was thus completed in such a way that he did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Then, he retreated and the rules of this story world started to deal with the traces he left behind. For example, he died in front of everyone in the setting to ensure the rhythm of the game continued.

"Hiss …"

Su Bai kept taking deep breaths. Now, he understood one thing. What did Zhao Zhen and Qian Lan's actions mean?

In fact, there had always been a knot in Su Bai's heart. When he first came to this story world, he opened the door of his room and happened to be facing Zhao Zhen across the corridor. He had deliberately feigned an attack posture, but Zhao Zhen had been fooled and stabbed him in the thigh with a knife. However, Zhao Zhen could still walk out and show off as if nothing had happened. Should he not be injured as well?

At that time, he was injured. No matter how stupid he was, he should have known something. However, he perfectly demonstrated the highest state of being brainless until he was killed by the votes.

Looking at it now, it was actually very simple. Zhao Zhen was actually a ghost. His mission was arranged by the rules of this story world. It was to attract the attention of the audience before the first round of voting. Then, he would become the first person to be voted for. He would become an example for everyone to familiarize themselves with the rules of the game and perform a standard demonstration.

Zhao Zhen might not know these things himself, but somehow, his fate was already decided. Even without Su Bai, he would still provoke others or purposely create some trouble.

After all, from the perspective of fairness in the game, it would be too unfair if the person who died as a demonstration was a listener. Thus, it was best to use a ghost as a demonstration. As for Qian Lan, Su Bai did not know whether she was a ghost or not and could not analyze it, but Zhao Zhen was definitely a ghost!

Su Bai walked into the bathroom and started to splash cold water on his face. Now, all kinds of thoughts were burning in his mind and surging in his consciousness. He knew that he had to quickly straighten out everything and understand the rules because he did not have much time left.

Every round, two listeners would be chosen to fight. What kind of level did this kind of duel exist on?

Was it to cause a stir on the other party's side and then vote for him to die?

Was it to deliberately fan the flames?

To deliberately sow discord?

Su Bai spread a wet towel on his face,

No..,

Impossible..,

It shouldn't be like this. If it was like this, everything would be too complicated. It was so complicated that it was unbelievable. Moreover, it was not something that could be completed in a day and night in a voting interval. It was even impossible to complete it in five or six voting intervals. If the rules of the story were like this, then the difficulty would rise from a primary school math problem to a college math problem.

In that case, the difficulty would rise from elementary school math problems to college math problems. Moreover, if two people who could travel through time and space spent a lot of time on each other's side to sow discord and vote each other to death, what would happen to the others? The other listeners would just sit there and watch?

There should be... a more direct way.

Chen Yixin was voted to death, and Qin Yang could be considered to have completed the mission. Actually, as long as one of the other travelers... died, it would be enough.

Including..,

In the hotel, in the scenario..,

Directly using his own method to kill him!

If Qin Yang killed Chen Yixin in the scenario, he would also die. However, Chen Yixin would really die. He would be free and successfully completed the mission. However, because Chen Yixin was voted to death, Qin Yang had no choice but to go through the motions of the horror broadcast and die.

"Huff... Huff... Huff..."

Su Bai kept gasping for air and finally figured it out. The problem now was that he had to do something.

Qin Yang had just completed the mission and left the story world,

Then..,

In this gaming circle, who would be the next traveler?

How should he find him?

..

"Here, your coffee." Chu Zhao handed a cup of coffee to Xun Er's desk.

On Xun Er's desk was a piece of white paper. There were many things drawn on it, as well as a lot of analysis and annotations.

"How is it? Have you figured it out?" Chu Zhao sat down on a bed, looking a little unnatural.

"I've figured out a lot of the rules on the surface, but there are some things that I haven't figured out yet. I keep feeling that something is missing. The environment we're in now is much more complicated than the Killing Formation of Alternate Dimensions. This environment and this world are not something that can be created by humans at all."

"You mean, we met God and were pulled to this place?" Chu Zhao stood up. "Oh right, Xun Er, come over here. I'm itchy here."

Xun Er stood up and walked to Chu Zhao's side. "What's wrong?"

"Scratch me. It's a little itchy."

Xun Er placed her hand on Chu Zhao's neck and scratched it. Then, she tore off a large piece of orange peel.
