Half Immortal

Chapter 98: Puppet Castle (11)

    Yan Wei was frightened by his own thoughts for a moment.

    This proposition of questioning "I am not me" has no solution at all.

    He blinked, his amber eyes flashed a daze, and he subconsciously blurted out: "Yan Mingguang, have you ever thought that maybe you recognized the wrong person just now?"

    Besides, Yan Mingguang seems to be reconfirming the recovery of his wound. The man put one hand on his shoulder on the other side, lowered his head slightly, looked down at the place where he was injured, and said indifferently, "It will be much better in a few hours."

    Yan Wei: "...I'm asking you."

      There are no complicated ideas.

    Yan Wei didn't expect people like Lin Zhen who didn't care about breaking the game to think too much, just raised his eyes slightly to look at Yan Mingguang, and said solemnly: "I'm serious. The same cognition, so everything we experienced before entering the castle, as a good puppet, or as a player, will know, so—”

    "So I won't admit my mistake." Yan Mingguang just said.

     

    "Feel."

    Yan Wei: "...Are you kidding me with dead ice?"

    Yan Mingguang stopped talking.

    Yan Wei asked again: "What about you? Haven't you ever had any doubts? In case you're not mistaken, but... what if I'm mistaken?"

    "No, I'm not a good puppet."

    Yan Wei suddenly felt some indescribable stability. In fact, Yan Mingguang didn't give him any evidence, just gave him a confident attitude, but this confident attitude is too important in the current situation.

    This is tantamount to cutting off his swing completely.

    He raised his foot and lightly kicked Lin Zhen's ankle.

    Lin Zhen turned around and said, "Hey, why are you kicking me?"

    "Have you ever met the same self?"

    "No, if I meet him, I will beat him up."

    "What if you are a good puppet?"

    Lin Zhen didn't even think about it and said, "Does that prevent me from beating up another fool? And I firmly believe that I am who I am."

    The fighting sound became louder. It seemed that the fighting of the four players not far away was about to end, and there were some collision sounds of people being knocked to the ground. A small number of players who were still in the room opened the door slightly to take a look, but those who are still in the room either wanted to keep a low profile and wait for the changes in the early stage, or they didn't dare to go out at all, and they didn't care at all. gossip. These people glanced at it and closed the door for nothing.

    At this moment, there are players or puppets all over the castle.

    The crows outside surrounded the deep and treacherous castle, making a hoarse crow after another. The moonlight was sparse, and the starry night covered the entire mountain.

    In the castle, you can vaguely hear the wind and the chirping of crows outside.

    Yan Wei was silent for a moment.

    He said, "I see."

    In fact, it doesn't matter whether it is a good puppet or a player or not.

      Xuanmiao was sent into the pit.

    "What if I am a player? What if I am a good puppet? There is no difference between a good puppet and a player, yes, this is impeccable, but it is precisely because of this impeccable that it also brings One downside - we would have the same idea."

    "Since this is the case, the purpose is the same, why should I worry about who I am? I can just break the game."

    Another part of the castle.

    The young man wearing a windbreaker and a scarf stood on the third floor full of broken glass, and turned to look at the forty or so seed players behind him who were planning to catch him.

    The three-story structure is complex but full of various puppet-making props, which is a natural trap.

    At this moment, those players are already in his arms, caught in a huge puppet production belt, surrounded by all kinds of shaking knives, they have no time to come to him.

    He stood on the aisle, looking up at everything in front of him, his light brown eyes full of contemplation.

     

    Behind him, the player who was cut alive by the puppet-making props let out a long howl, and blood splashed, worthy of being sprinkled under his feet.

    For a moment, he suddenly chuckled.

    "Nothing to think about," he muttered to himself, "If you can't tell the difference, then you don't have to. I am me, Shan Puppet is me, and the player is me too."

    "All we want to do is get first."

    "I am on the third floor and he is on the second floor. If I were on the second floor with more players, what would I do...?"

    Second floor.

    The four players have already decided the winner and loser - no matter how strong Svenman is, he can't be an opponent who knows his three teammates.

    Not long after, Svennan was knocked out by his teammates, hit the wall with a bang, and when he rolled to the ground, his eyes were already white, obviously seriously injured.

    "Go!" One person stepped forward and tied the Sven man with a prop rope, "Let's go to the star observation platform upstairs and get another point."

    Not far away, Lin Zhen waved his hand: "Little pet, Yan Mingguang, they are finished. Shall we take action?"

    Yan Wei said angrily: "What will you do? Follow behind. I want to see what happens if they take someone who has already scored one point or a good puppet to find the man in black robe. "

    "Eh? What do you mean? Is there anything special about someone who has scored too much or a good puppet?"

    "It's just a guess, I told Yan Mingguang before that under the current rules, the last day or two will result in a peaceful situation in which everyone gives up the shot, which is completely inaccurate. In line with the theme of the dungeon. That's why I have to act with you, let them fight infighting, and send the person who got the first point to exchange points to see if my guess is correct."

    He said, beckoning to Yan Mingguang and Lin Zhen, and the three followed gently.

    Yan Wei has strong perception, although the body index is not as good as these forty-some layer seed players, but at this moment, with deliberate attention, I can use perception to ensure that every step of my own is free from any movement. Yan Mingguang and Lin Zhen were originally players with a very prominent body index, so it was no problem to track these players who had just fought fiercely.

    The three of them followed behind the group and came to the observatory on the top floor of the castle.

    This castle has a total of four floors, the first floor is the hall where they first entered the castle, the second floor is the guest room, the third floor is a variety of laboratories and operation rooms, and the fourth floor is the black robe where people stay.

     

    The castle gets smaller as it goes up, and the space on the fourth floor can be seen at a glance.

    The ceiling on the fourth floor is made of glass, so you can see the whole starry sky without hindrance, and the crows hovering around the castle and the jungle labyrinth. The man in black robe stood in the middle of the star-gazing platform, looking up at the sky, wondering what he was thinking.

    Not far from the man in black robe, there was a huge meat grinder.

    That must be what these people said before, the meat grinder that destroys good puppets and exchanges points. The meat grinder was still stained with blood, which was the blood of the people who were sent by these people.

    The three of Yan Wei hid in the dark, watching them tied the gentleman and walked in front of the man in black robe.

    Someone said: "We caught another good puppet."

    The Sven man struggled, but he was seriously injured and tied so tightly that he was unable to move at all.

    The hoarse voice of the man in black robe sounded: "Come with me and lift him up."

    Speaking of which, the man in the black robe stretched out his hand, and the player holding the Sven man, one after the other, directly lifted the Sven man up and aimed it at the feed port of the meat grinder . Sven Nan struggled frantically, but both the player and the man in black robe didn't seem to be holding a life, and without hesitation, they threw Sven Man into the meat grinder's feed inlet together.

    The next moment, the sound of the meat grinder running.

    Sven man was thrown in with his lower body down. At the moment when he was thrown in, even Yan Wei and the three who were hiding at the entrance of the stairs heard the crisp sound of the bones being twisted. And the screams of the Sven man.

    The screams continued for a short time, and within a few seconds, the Sven man's head was also shattered.

    Yan Mingguang's expression remained unchanged, Lin Zhen watched the meat grinder continue to operate with interest, Yan Wei frowned uncomfortably at the smell of blood in the air.

    A few minutes later, the Sven male was completely minced.

    The man in black robe didn't say anything, just turned around and walked slowly back to the middle of the star observation platform.

    The player who threw the Sven man into the meat grinder with the black robe seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then said: "What's the matter, we didn't add a point?"

    The other person's face turned pale: "...he is not a good puppet!?"

    "But that's not right," the man said, "then why do I get an extra point? You see, our overall score remains the same, but I get an extra point."

    Yan Wei looked away.

    He gave Yan Mingguang and Lin Zhen a wink, and the three of them went downstairs lightly again and came to a corner with no one.

    "Sure enough."

    Yan Mingguang didn't speak, just walked to the other side and took out the lighter and cigarette. But for a moment, the rising smoke blocked most of the man's face and covered his indifferent expression.

    He didn't speak, but Yan Wei knew it, and this person should have seen it.

    Yan Mingguang's character... I am afraid that such a rule is more disgusting than him.

    Lin Zhen asked, "How? Can you guys just talk without playing dumb riddles? It makes me look like I'm superfluous!"

      Half the probability of getting one point. In terms of probability, the expected value is 0.5. If you catch one, you may catch the wrong real player and you won't get points, but if you catch ten, you can get it. About five points. This rule will make players unable to withstand the benefits and start to arrest other players, because the players here are different in strength, and powerful players will definitely arrest ordinary players in the early stage. "

    "But at the back, there are very few people alive. The risks are not worth the benefits. Everyone will stop, and there will be very few good puppets. In the end, the players who are left are the players."

    "Then what can continue to keep players fighting? I was thinking just now that there are many good puppets, so what drives us is to catch good puppets. There are more players behind, and what drives us... Is it to catch players? "

    Lin Zhen is not stupid, after Yan Wei said this, he immediately reacted: "Wow, is this copy so exciting?"

    "It's not exciting, it's cruel. The man in black robe said that a good puppet can get one point and ten gold coins, but he didn't say that only this way can get points and gold coins - players can also exchange Points and coins."

    "If a player gives another player who has already scored one point to the black-robed man and throws it into the meat grinder, then the player's one point will be transferred to this person On the body. The total score of the organization just now has not changed, but the player who threw the Svenman into the meat grinder got one point, which is completely in line with the dungeon's motive - he 'killed' the Svenman, and he got all the points of the Svenman. ."

    This is how dungeons ensure players fight.

    In the beginning, we captured those ordinary players, spent time and energy, and got one point after another. The risk is proportional to the return.

    And later, there are more players left, so I will go to those players with high scores. The risk is great, but the payoff is even greater - catch one and get a huge score all at once!

    Yan Wei sneered and said: "This game has only one purpose from beginning to end, that is to force out the greatest evil in human nature, and let everyone mutilate the same kind for the sake of profit and survival. , the player catches the good puppet, and in the end, the player catches the player."

    "But in the end it is possible to catch a mistake and become a good puppet," Lin Zhen curled his lips, "a good puppet has the same strength as a player, but it is only worth one point. Isn't this a risk? Far greater than the profit? How do you know that you are catching a player and not a good puppet?"

    Yan Wei raised her eyebrows and pointed to the digital lights under her feet.

    "Have you seen this number? In the early stage, it helped us to confirm the number of puppets around, and in the later stage... the number of puppets and players was greatly reduced, and the density of players became lower, and it may not be three hundred meters around. There will be a player or a good puppet. At this time, if you encounter a player, your number will only be '0', if you encounter a good puppet, your number is '1', then you don't need to spent with him."

    This game is simply more profitable the further you go.

    Catch a player to get a huge score, why not do it? There is also this digital light that can help you distinguish whether there is a player in front of you, and you are not afraid of making mistakes.

    "When it really comes to this situation, everything will be out of control."

    Yan Mingguang snuffed out the cigarette butt, looked at him in the thick smoke, and said, "What are you going to do? There are many players who can find clues in this dungeon, and time is in a hurry."

    And those people may prefer this kind of fighting and elimination, and may not be willing to choose to find other ways to break the game.

    These are the words that Yan Mingguang didn't say, but Yan Wei can understand.

    "No, time is really in a hurry for my own thinking process."

    "But I'm not alone."

    On the other side of the castle, a young man exactly like Yan Wei quickly ran down the stairs.

    "I have doubts and guesses about the rules of the dungeon, and I was just guessing whether catching a player who has scored points will get that player's points at one time. If I am on the second floor with more players, then I'll definitely check that out first."

     

    The forward and reverse thinking kept flipping, he gasped and ran quickly to the first floor.

    He is confident in himself, guessing is generally not a big problem, but the process of confirmation is essential. If it is proved wrong, he will immediately take new actions, but there is no other movement on the second floor, indicating that his guess is not wrong.

    If the guess is not wrong, this rule will only become more and more terrible in the future. His first thought must be to delay the arrival of this situation and find another way to break the game and win the qualifying method.

    The first thing he has to do is to delay everyone's scoring.

    The digital light board under the player's feet plays a vital auxiliary role.

    "Yan Wei" ran down one floor again, he panted slightly, but his amber-clear eyes were full of confidence.

    On the third floor of the castle, Yan Wei, Yan Mingguang and Lin Zhen, who were hiding in the corner, said, "I am me, he is me, and our purpose is the same."

    "I'll verify this scoring method, then he'll..."

    On the first floor of the castle, "Yan Wei" stood in front of the power box that provided the digital light panel of the entire castle, chuckling lightly.

    "I will destroy this power supply as soon as possible."
