NO.42 Dispute

Luo Xiaoming disappeared?

Only demons don't come back to life when they die, could it be that Luo Xiaoming wasn't human before he disappeared? No, that's impossible. Only humans can identify the rules of the game, demons can't do that. It is reasonable that the participant who dies by pointing out the game rules will definitely be resurrected.

Xu Fang took another look at the game rules:

[1. Demons kill from 18:00 to 0:00 every day, which is the last 6 hours of the day.

2. No one can leave the 607 dormitory between 18:00 and 0:00, violators will die.

3. The dead will come back to life and have a half chance of becoming demons.

4. Demons have the same appearance as humans.

5. If the number of demons is 0, no new demons will be created. If the number of demons is equal to or more than 3, the person who died will become a demon 100%.

6. Killed demons will not be revived.

7. There are demons in disguise among the participants. ]

Xu Fang looked at these rules and thought fast.

Wang did not come back to life after his death, which proves that Wang is a demon. If Wang is a demon, then the first rule of the game is definitely wrong. Then after Luo Xiaoming identified, the game should be over, but in fact it did not end, Luo Xiaoming died and did not resurrect. This means that the first rule is right. Could it be that before Wang disappeared he was still human, and humans only have a certain chance of being resurrected after death?

Then rule three of the game is wrong!

Xu Fang reasoned out this result and did not point it out, he was not sure of anything. The previous times all of them had fallen into the trap designed by this game and missed an important way to live. And this time, there was no guarantee that rule three was still a trap, and the real purpose of the demon game was to make the participants keep pointing and pointing again until everyone was dead.

"Xu Fang, what now?"

Big Teeth and Fatty asked as they walked in.

Xu Fang sighed decrepitly and asked rhetorically, "Do you guys have any ideas?"

Big Teeth nodded and said, "I have an idea."

"Go ahead."

"Wang and Xiaoming have both disappeared, and now there are only four participants left in this game. We have already verified the game rules 1, 2 and 7 with our lives, and there are still four rules left, 3456. Before things continue to deteriorate, find Wenjian, then one of us will identify a rule, and even if it's an exclusion method, we can still win!"

Xu Fang nodded noncommittally, looked at Fatty again, and asked, "What do you think?"

"I'm thinking the same thing as Big Teeth, if we don't end this game soon, I'm going to fucking collapse. Why don't we all go and identify them? It's up to God whether we survive or not! Hurry up and end it!!!" Fatty said the last, his tone became hysterical, it seems that his mental state is somewhat unstable.

No wonder, after experiencing one bloody and horrible scene after another, it is difficult for a normal person to ensure that he can still face everything sensibly.

"All right." Xu Fang said, "But to find Wenjian, there is no need to waste physical strength to search layer by layer. Just go out and shout at him, he will come back before 18:00 even if he doesn't come. If he doesn't come back, it means he's turned into a demon."

The three of them walked out of the dormitory and shouted Wenjian's name several times into the gloomy corridor.

There was no reply.

This was what Xu Fang expected, and the next step was to wait. If Wenjian did not want to die, he would come back after a while.

Sure enough, after only ten minutes, Wenjian appeared outside the 607 dormitory with a gloomy face. He did not walk in first, but cautiously surveyed the three people in the room, and was slightly relieved to see that Fatty and Big Teeth were still there.

Just now he eavesdropped on the whole process at the corner of the stairs, and he knew that Luo Xiaoming had identified the game rules wrongly and died as a result, and had not been revived.

In that case, the third rule of the game is very suspicious, maybe humans do not become demons after death, but have a half chance of actually "dying", that is, disappearing completely.

"Wenjian, come in!" Fatty swallowed his food while waving to Wenjian.

After Luo Xiaoming and Wang disappeared, Fatty kind of picked up a bargain, one person took up the rest of their food. Big Teeth did not say anything, Xu Fang is to have an opinion also dare not mention, because the fat man who got the cookie is like a dog that protects food. Who dares to grab with him, he dares to fight with each other.

The weight of more than 200 pounds, in addition to the tall Wang, who can not beat him.

Fatty, big teeth, Wenjian three reunited again, sigh, not a few of them chatted, all relaxed each other's guard.

Wenjian also explained why he escaped at that time. Because he just resurrected, emotionally unstable, an excited to do things without thinking ......

fatty and big teeth believe, Xu Fang is the heart of a cold laugh.

He is certainly aware of the little intelligence of Wenjian. Wenjian was afraid of the crowd's threat to use him as a lab rat, so he escaped, and finally Xiaoming did the scapegoat.

"Well, it's time to point out the rules of the game, right?" Xu Fang took the lead and said.

"OK, how to distribute?" Wenjian said.

"I point to rule three, Wenjian point to rule four, fatty is rule five, big teeth is rule six ......"

"No!" Wenjian objected, "I'll point to rule three, you point to rule four!"

Xu Fang was silent for a moment and nodded, "Okay!"

Fatty and Big Teeth also seemed to have little doubt.

"So ...... the four of us come together?" Big Teeth asked.

"OK!" Everyone agreed.

"Then everyone reads together next-"

"I identify number ......"

"I point to the fourth ......"

"I point to the fifth game ......"

"I identify the sixth rule of the game ......"

When the last word was said, everyone stopped and all looked at each other with complicated eyes.

No one was stupid, it turned out that everyone was insidiously playing the same idea -

pretending to identify, but actually letting others to be cannon fodder so as to ensure their own safety.

"Xu Fang, why did you stop, can't you be the devil and unable to identify?" Wenjian said with a wry smile.

"In terms of probability, the chances of you being a demon are higher than that, right?" Xu Fang said back.

Wenjian heatedly smiled, turned back to Fatty and Big Teeth and asked, "Brothers, do you believe your brother Jian's words, or Xu Fang's?"

"Of course I believe Brother Jian's!" Fatty did not hesitate.

Big Teeth also nodded his head to show his agreement.

"Xu Fang, you come first to point out, as long as you come first, you can point out the third game rule, that one has the highest probability of error."

Wenjian said with a smile.

"Yes Xu Fang, you come first, after the game is over maybe you can even get a reward!" Big Teeth echoed.

"Don't be silly Xu Fang, hurry up so you can leave this damn place quickly!" Fatty said impatiently.

Xu Fang looked at the three people in front of him, and for no reason, he had some chills. A few roommates have been living together for more than a month, although they do not have deep feelings for each other, but they are basically familiar with each other. In the next few years, they are both classmates and friends.

Why did they get together in the first place and exclude him when they are in this situation now? Is it because his personality is not very compatible?

Xu Fang thought he had never done anything to treat Wenjian and the others badly, and now they were threatening him. They said they would let Xu Fang come first, but in fact, they wanted him to be the guinea pig.

If Xu Fang failed to identify Rule 3, they would definitely force him to continue to identify other rules until Xu Fang died completely.

"Xu Fang, are you going to identify or not? If you don't, we'll think you're a demon and kill you, so don't blame us for accusing you when you come back to life!" Wenjian said sinisterly.

Xu Fang drew out his knife without saying a word and stared at Wenjian and the others angrily.

Seeing this, Wenjian and others also pulled out their knives and stared at Xu Fang nervously.

"Xu Fang, your shoulder is injured, don't struggle, even if the identification failed, so what? Your injury will be healed after you resurrect!" Wenjian shouted.

"Let's draw lots." Xu Fang said stiffly, "Or else no other opition."
