After a busy day, they finally found more than half of the people on the list.
It was easy to verify their identities. They just had to find someone with the same name and interrogate them about the rules of the game.
Those who didn't dare to speak were naturally on the list.
In addition, a physical examination could also be verified. Those who were decapitated had their heads removed. Those whose hearts were destroyed had no heartbeat at all.
These people always had some strange immortality. As long as they were found, it would be impossible to cover it up.
But even so, there were still some people who couldn't be found. They went missing. The Blue and White Society used peripheral personnel from all over the country, but they couldn't be found in a day or two.
Let's focus on the people we can find first.
Mo Qiong and Master Gou asked some things that could be said from these people. Combined with their whereabouts and experiences, they repeatedly pondered and guessed, and finally simulated the whole sequence of events.
Coupled with some hints from the D-class personnel, they basically understood the 'death list'.
First of all, Rijkaard was probably a random target chosen by the anomaly when it first appeared.
A white paper appeared in front of the person, showed his name, told him the rules, and gave him a decapitated death.
He wrote down someone else's name. According to the D-class personnel's hint, it required a person's appearance.
In other words, just knowing the name wasn't enough. It had to be someone he had seen before.
However, Rijkaard was very cautious. He didn't write down an acquaintance, but a passerby whose name he asked on the street.
That passerby was Nasus. This Nasus was only 16 years old. Perhaps because he was immature, he wrote down one of his arch-rivals, Sean.
This was obviously a big taboo in this game. Writing down the name of someone you knew was likely to lead to revenge.
Sure enough, when Sean saw that the first name on the list was Nasus, he immediately knew that this bastard had written down his name, so he wrote Nasus' name in reverse.
These two young people weren't afraid of probability at all. They wrote back and forth, which led to only the two of them and Rijkaard in the game.
Not long after, Nasus died. He was shot and his head was severed. The police quickly solved the case. The murderer was Sean.
Yes, in the first round, acquaintances argued with each other. Although it was a dispute of personal feelings, they weren't stupid. Everyone's probability was the same on paper, but they could PK offline!
He wouldn't die if his head was chopped off, but he would still die if his heart was pierced. It all depended on who made the first move.
Shines was even faster. He got a gun and killed Nasus manually, ending this round!
Even though he was imprisoned, he had at least temporarily skipped catching the dragon.
The second round began again with the unlucky Rijkaard in the first position.
Only when Rijkaard is dead will Sheehan start as number one.
Rijkaard, on the other hand, didn't know who Shines was. It was against the rules to write down the name, so he could only find another unlucky guy to write it down.
Since Paper was back in Rijkaard's hands, he could see that there were only three people in the first round, which meant that he had a one-third chance of dying.
This may have frightened him, but in the second round he decided to write a smart guy. He chose Professor Edward, whose picture and name could be found in the University's staff column.
Edward had also set a precedent by writing a new way to die. He didn't follow his predecessors and only wrote decapitation.
According to the rules, as long as a certain part of the body was involved and the weapon was not written down, it was fine.
After him, except for Rijkaard, who was decapitated, the rest of the people died in all kinds of strange ways.
Edward was also a ruthless person. He wrote down a salesman, Allie, who came to disturb him.
Although the salesman knew what he looked like, he didn't know Edward's name, so when he received the list, he didn't know that it was Edward who had written him.
The unlucky salesman ran from neighborhood to neighborhood every day. He had business cards all over him and was selling his products everywhere to make a little money.
He didn't expect to get into trouble just by giving a stranger a business card and saying a few words.
Allie had no heartbeat. Naturally, he knew that this curse wasn't a joke. He ran to the church every day and went to various places to find witches.
He didn't say anything about his situation, hoping that those people would take the initiative to see that his heart had burst.
However, none of those people had any real ability. Some said that he was haunted by demons, some said that he was followed by vengeful ghosts, and some said that he was a monster.
None of them could tell that his heart had stopped beating. Knowing that these people were liars, he wanted to write them on the death list.
But in the end, he wasn't the kind of person Edward was.
He knew very well that the people who were written on the list could hide for a while, but they couldn't hide forever. The people who were skipped over for the time being would sooner or later appear at the beginning as the number one position.
The Dragon Taking Meeting continued endlessly, and everyone would take their turn until they died.
This little salesman was kind and couldn't care less about others. He only cared about himself. Through a friend who had taken drugs, he learned of Joneslok's name and knew that there was such a big drug lord.
So it took him several days to find an opportunity to look at the man from afar and write Joneslok on the list.
In fact, it was also a big taboo to write people with high status and power, because they might have the ability to find people based on their names without needing to know them.
Once they were found, the result would be very bad.
So no one wrote public figures on the list. What if they were found by the authorities and forced to know the rules? There were also no particularly powerful people. After all, it would be worse to be found by such people.
Joneslok was the only one with money and power.
This person killed people like flies. After the death list was passed to his face, he was furious. He also sent his subordinates to find Ailey and the other people on the list.
"Joneslok often finds trouble with others. His subordinates also often receive orders like 'Go, find someone called XX, I want to kill him', so they are used to it."
"I once found Ailey based on this clue, but after hypnosis, he didn't know anything, so I didn't think much about it. Now that I think about it, I actually came into contact with the 'abnormal person' long ago, but I just brushed past him. "Master Gou shook his head and smiled.
Mo Qiong nodded. Ailey was just a small character. The death of the big drug lord didn't benefit him at all. It was normal that Master Gou couldn't find anything.
"How do you think Joneslok died?" Mo Qiong asked.
Master Gou held his head and smiled bitterly. "Actually, I've figured everything out now. That guy died because he leaked the rules. Actually, when Joneslok disappeared in the toilet, there was a little boy next door. Joneslok probably thought that there was no one next to him, so he sat on the toilet and muttered the rules to himself. In the end, the little boy heard it. "
"This guy made a low-level mistake and killed himself. I also interrogated the little boy, but the little boy didn't remember what Joneslok said at all. He only remembered that there was an uncle muttering next to him, and then there was no sound."
"The little boy was too young. Those words went in one ear and out the other. He probably didn't even understand them."
"And just like that, Joneslok was still killed by the anomaly."
Mo Qiong shook his head. This Joneslok could have relied on his wealth and power to kill others and skip the trial, but he died because he accidentally leaked the rules.
Other people could guess the rules, and they could also give hints, but they couldn't say it directly.
Even if the other party forgot it immediately, or didn't understand it at all.
In short, the people on the list couldn't talk about the rules, even if they talked to themselves. If there was a bug around them, they would experience a public execution.
"This anomaly is too dangerous. We can't let them expand the list, but if we just find everyone and supervise them to only write to each other, letting the death cycle only circulate among these 180 people, it's equivalent to giving them a reprieve."
"They will die one by one until they all die. It's just a matter of who dies first," Mo Qiong said.
Master Gou pondered and said, "And if we expand the list, as long as there are enough people, we can guarantee that the survivors of each round can theoretically live until they die of old age. Because as long as Rijkaard in the first position doesn't die, the other survivors won't fill the first position as the beginning. "
Mo Qiong felt troubled. "But this isn't a solution at all! Someone has to die in every round! Those survivors who are temporarily skipped are all built on the foundation of some unlucky person's death! "
"The shortest is an hour, and the longest is dozens of days. The anomaly will kill one person from the current list! It's random! What's even more hateful is that this anomaly only targets humans. It doesn't even want the Smart Rats or Beastmen transmigrators "
Master Gou smiled bitterly and added: "Even if we take a step back, even if we sacrifice these 180 people and make everyone on the list dead, the anomaly might still automatically appear in front of a certain person just like Rijkaard, breaking the previous record and starting from the beginning again. It's an endless cycle"
Mo Qiong went silent. Indeed, this was very likely. It would be unrealistic for everyone to stop transmitting to end this cycle of reincarnation, and for the anomalies to cease to exist.
We'll only know if we try, but the prerequisite is that all 180 people have to die.
"Fuck …" Mo Qiong slammed the table.
Master Gou patted him and said: "There are plenty of anomalies that are filled with malice and don't give anyone a chance to live. Not all anomalies have a good side, so we can only try our best to overcome it"
Mo Qiong shook his head. This was the first time he had to face an anomaly that was purely playing with people to death.
Its existence seemed to only allow humans to experience the absurdity and collapse of this world, as well as its malice.
"No matter how powerless we are, we still have to try our best. I have three ideas" Mo Qiong said.
"Let's hear them" Master Gou smiled. Mo Qiong's performance made him worthy of being a member.
Mo Qiong said: "First of all, Franklin's heart was burned to a crisp, but it's still irrationally maintaining his life. What if we give him a new heart that's still intact? Also, would Wei Lan's suturing ability be able to heal the decapitated victims? "
"Second, what if the fatal wound that was replaced or healed reappears? Then we can think of a way to strengthen the human body's ability to withstand it "
"Although the way to die is to die, what if that person becomes stronger after they get on the list? What if they become so strong that the originally fatal wound becomes less fatal? "
"For example, a person without a heart would die, but if we give them a 'stone heart', would that prevent them from dying? Also, there's the 'starving ghost effect' … "
Master Gou cut him off: "The 'starving ghost effect' isn't something that just anyone can have. If you fail to obtain the 'starving ghost effect', you'll die straight away, so this can't be popularized. Also, if you kill them with a special characteristic, there'll be so much food that they'll despair "
Mo Qiong nodded and continued: "Third … can a low-dimensional human get on the list?"
"Huh?" Master Gou was surprised.
