After Tong Mu's death, the cloaked man grabbed his body and integrated into the floor.

Xu Fang ignored the crowd of people running for their lives behind him, took down the test papers hanging on the door, stepped into the room and sat down in seat number seven.

At the same time, six identical cloaked figures appeared behind the seats one to six, and they pulled out their chairs and slowly sat down.

This soul scrambling contest, officially begins!

[Number seven, how many souls do you need, please? ]

A disembodied voice rang out in the room, and as it did, the six cloaked figures turned their heads in unison and looked straight at Xu Fang with their black faces, waiting.

The air was so oppressive that Xu Fang could even feel the substantial gaze of the evil spirits.

Xu Fang took a deep breath and said loudly, "I want them all!"

[No. 7 chose to take seven souls, please vote from one to six. ]

The first one to react was No. 1, it barely hesitated and directly pressed the red light, indicating that it disagreed with Xu Fang's choice.

Then No. 2 and No. 4, the closest to Xu Fang, reacted, and No. 4 pressed the green light, agreeing. And number two pressed the red light, opposing.

Number three pressed the red light, opposed.

Number five pressed the green light, yes.

Only number six remained, and the stern ghost seemed to hesitate and finally pressed the green light.

[Three yes votes, three no votes. Congratulations to number seven for getting seven souls. Soul distribution is complete, test is over! ]

The voice echoed in the room, the six cloaked figures looked at Xu Fang for a while, and finally they stood up and disappeared into the darkness in the corner, losing sight of each other.

The whole voting session was over in less than a minute, and Xu Fang got seven souls.

[The answer is correct, plus 4 points, the total score of the candidates: 15, after deducting the dead candidates, the remaining score: 11]

The announcement of the final result came late, the scenery around Xu Fang gradually became transparent and dull, even the test paper in his hand changed, and finally they gradually decomposed and disappeared.

After the new scenery replaced the test room, Xu Fang returned to the classroom where he started, surrounded by Yue Yang and others with dull expressions, who had not yet recovered from the last question.

---------- ---------- -

"That's about how things are." Afterwards, Xu Fang told the crowd what they didn't see in the process.

"What a crazy person who is not afraid of death ......" After listening to Xu Fang's narrative, Zhu Chengtao muttered in a low voice, he thought he didn't have the kind of courage that Xu Fang had, daring to take the test paper alone and fight for the soul with the Ghost.

"How in the world did you manage to do that? Why did only three ghosts vote against it? It shouldn't be!" Yao Mei was perplexed.

"You had a 'negotiation' with the ghosts?" Xu Tong asked speculatively.

"No, but negotiation is also a way to score points." Xu Fang said: "From the conversation between Tong Mu and the ghost, we can see that they can communicate. The ghost asked Tong Mu if it was human, which means it couldn't tell Tong Mu's true identity. Tong Mu lied and said he was not, but he was killed anyway, which means the ghost can tell if a person is lying. Then if the negotiation with the ghost just take care not to lie and not to admit that he is human."

"Are you sure that these are the only two motives for ghosts to kill people? What if there are others?" Yue Yang asked.

"Not sure, and if you negotiate, you can only get four souls or even less, so negotiation to pull in ghost alliance this road is not good."

Trying to negotiate an alliance to pull the ghosts into their camp has a small risk, so this is just the next best thing.

"I see, if we want to pull in three ghosts and split 7 souls equally, the only way to best serve their interests is for us to make a sacrifice and give each ghost 2 souls, but then we can only score 1 point, and negotiations that cannot be deceived will put us in a passive position." Xu Tong said.

"So you choose to sit in position 7 and have a fair duel with them?" Zhu Chengtao couldn't help but say, "Number seven is the first to be voted on, so wouldn't that be the most dangerous place to be? In my opinion, number one is the safest, right?"

According to the rules of voting, number seven is the first to say the number of souls he wants, and the votes are cast by numbers one to six, and there are only two results in the end:

One, no more negative votes than yes votes, and number seven leaves safely with the souls.

Two, more negative votes than yes votes, number seven does not get the soul, disappears and exits the examination room.

If number seven disappears, number six will choose the number of souls. Numbers one through five vote for number six, and so on and so forth until the souls are divided up. In Zhu Chengtao's opinion, sitting at number one is the safest because no one is voting for number one. Number one can vote against numbers two to seven with impunity, and when numbers two to seven disappear, all the souls go to number one. Such a good position, why didn't Xu Fang choose it?

"No. 1 is definitely not!" Xu Fang directly denied Zhu Chengtao's words, "If you choose No. 1, you won't get a single soul."

"No. 7 is the one who can't get anything!"

"In fact, I got a perfect score."

"Why is that, exactly? Can you give an explanation?" After listening to Xu Fang talk for half a day and still not getting to the point, Zhang Wanling said dissatisfied.

"First of all, look at the prerequisites, said that the ghosts has a 'purely self-interested personality and independent', then it can be thought of as an idealized independent unit, all the behavior of the ghost will be selfish and purposeful, rather than chaotic and random. So here comes the reasoning proper: if you were number one, what would you do to get the soul?" Xu Fang looked to the crowd.

"I would vote against everyone, so that the chances of the soul coming to me would become greater." Zhu Chengtao said without hesitation.

"Me, I think so too!" Yao Mei followed and echoed.

"Good, since you two can think of it, the other ghosts can think of it too."

"What do you mean? What does it matter to me number one if they think of it or not?" Zhu Chengtao frowned.

"If you were number two, what would you do in the knowledge that number one would vote against everyone?"

Zhu Chengtao froze, Xu Fang's words were beyond his scope of thinking, leaving him at a loss for how to answer.

"Number two must let number three live or else he will disappear himself!" Xu Tong quickly reacted.

The disappearance of a ghost can be seen as the death of a person, which is something the "self-interested" ghost does not want to happen.

If the vote goes to number two, it will definitely die, because number one will vote against number two. So in order not to disappear, number two must make sure that number three is alive, that is, give number three a yes vote. So that the number of negative votes is not greater than the number of yes votes, number three will not disappear.

Xu Fang nodded, "Number three will also think that number two will give it a yes vote, and it knows that it must not die, so it will try to take out number four, five, six, and seven, so that it can get the soul. Number four can likewise surmise what number three is thinking, it knows that instead of getting the soul, it will be removed as a hindrance by number one, two and three, so it will try to end the test before its turn ...... Then the information is almost gathered - 1. number one will always negative Vote to no. 2, in order to keep the number of opponents fighting for the soul down, unless it's number three's turn, number two will always vote no as well. Of course it is also possible to vote yes because you think you have no hope of getting the soul.3. Number three will not die and will always vote no. 4. Since number five and six do not know if number two is voting yes, it will be on a united front with number four and try to end the test early."

"In other words, when number seven votes, number four, five and six will vote yes, then no matter what number one, two and three vote, it's number seven that gets the soul!"

After Xu Fang finished speaking, his chest felt tight and he couldn't help but cough a few times.

The crowd was frowning and digesting the information in Xu Fang's words. After a long time, Yue Yang slapped his thigh vigorously and gave a thumbs up to Xu Fang: "So brilliant! I am convinced!"

"A very simple logical reasoning question, anyone can think of it as long as they pay attention to sort out the logical relationship in it." Xu Fang said.

"Alas, I'm busy looking for ghosts, which have the heart to think about this ......"

After a while, Zhu Chengtao also finally understood, and repeatedly exclaimed the cleverness of this test design.

Yao Mei behaved exaggeratedly, with a look of admiration on his face, and even came up next to Xu Fang, "Brother Xu Fang is awesome!!!"

"Brother Xu Fang, can you take me with you?"

Looking at Yao Mei, who was completely transformed into a "little fan girl", Zhu Chengtao was depressed in his heart.

The promised to watch out for Xu Fang? The promised to be by my side? Zhu Chengtao is a little frustrated, there is a feeling of betrayal, the heart more and more dislike of Xu Fang.

The little girl beside him, with an innocent expression on her face, intentionally or unintentionally revealing her pink lace halter breast under her collar, is affectionately calling him "Brother Xu Fang", being relied on and admired by a girl smaller than herself, anyone would be very happy ...... but Xu Fang did not produce a joyful feeling, but some boredom.

As early as the first contact with this young girl, Xu Fang noticed the smell of her body - a strange fragrance, not hormones, and not like the body odor of women with. Smell this smell, the heart will be slightly accelerated, the brain also has an imperceptible dizzy feeling.

Not like a perfume, but like a hypnotic compound, coupled with the girl's expression with strong psychological suggestion, even a strange man is easily attracted to her.

However, for Xu Fang, Yao Mei's acting skills are still too poor, from to demeanor to eyes, everywhere is a sense of incongruity, but also with a trace of imitation.

"Excuse me." Xu Fang smiled and took a step back, keeping a distance from Yao Mei, "I have an infectious disease, don't get too close to me, be careful of infecting you."

"Eh?" Yao Mei blinked, puzzled said: "Which has ah, can not see ah ......"

"He does have a disease." Zhang Wanling suddenly said: "pale face, the pace is weak, smoking, but also always cough, is not an infectious disease I'm not sure, in short, his body is very poor."

Xu Fang raised his eyebrows, "How can you see so clearly? Why don't you do a medical checkup for me?"

"I'm not obliged to care about your physical condition, I just want to talk to you now about the exam just now." Zhang Wanling gazed at Xu Fang with cold eyes and said rawly, "Why didn't you tell us your thoughts earlier? Why did you still let Tong Mu go to his death? Did you disregard other people's lives because of your own illness?"
