Chapter 9 The Unacceptable Truth
Everyone looked a little stunned after seeing these three words.
"I drew "Liar"." Qi Xia said slowly, "But it doesn't matter whether this card is revealed or not, because it doesn't matter at all."
He picked up the card and threw it casually in the center of the table.
"If I guess correctly, the card in each of your hands is "Liar"."
No one moved after hearing this. After a while, Officer Li asked: "So... you are saying that everyone lied just now?"
"That's right." Qi Xia nodded, "You are smarter than I thought. You all added a little lie to your story so that the story can be completely established without affecting the logic of the plot."
Officer Li thought for a while and seemed to have thought of something.
"If what you said is right..." Officer Li sighed meaningfully, "The problem will be even more difficult."
Everyone looked at Officer Li again, confused.
Officer Li continued: "According to the rules, only if all of us choose the liar can we survive together, but in this case the liar loses. So we..."
Dr. Zhao was the first to understand what Officer Li meant: "You mean...we can vote at will because everyone is lying, and this has become a "must-win game" and only the people voted will die?"
"That's right." Officer Li nodded, "The best solution now is to concentrate all the votes on one person. This can minimize the loss. After all, the remaining people can survive..."
His words suppressed everyone's atmosphere to the extreme, but the goat head did not make any move.
So...they were just voting for one of them to die?
Qi Xia sighed helplessly, looked at Officer Li and said, "Officer, you like to interrupt others.
\u003c/di\u003e
Is talking your hobby? Will this give you a sense of accomplishment? "
"What are you talking about?" Officer Li frowned and replied, "Am I not helping you make suggestions?"
"I don't need your help." Qi Xia said without thinking, "Your ideas will kill everyone."
"What?" Officer Li was stunned, "Why would I kill everyone? Am I wrong? If everyone is lying, wouldn't any vote be valid?"
"Officer Li, Goat Head said, "The rules are absolute" and "There is only one liar." Do you remember?"
"This..." Officer Li pondered for a moment, recalling that Goat Head had indeed said these two sentences.
"Let me sort out my thoughts now." Qi Xia said coldly, "In this game, it seems that the "Liar" has a great chance of winning, because everyone feels that they are going to win, but if we vote at will , all of us will die in the end.”
Qiao Jiajin, who was sitting next to Qi Xia, touched his flowered arm and said to himself: "Because we broke the "rules"..."
"Yes." Qi Xia nodded, "But the interesting thing about this game is that we can't infer whether the other party is lying at all. As lawyer Zhang said, we can only infer based on whether our respective experiences are contradictory, but we can't infer at all They are not from the same area. Even if what happened is contradictory, there is still no 100% certainty that the other party is lying. "
Qi Xia looked at the people who were deep in thought, and then said: "The "organizer" specially chose the nine of us to sit here. He must have his purpose, which is to let us learn from the seemingly interconnected stories.
Among them, self-righteousness found flaws. "
"But is that really right? How sure do we know that the other party must be lying?" Qi Xia sneered, "In this game, the only "liar" we can 100% confirm from the known clues is the This person. What he said is completely different from our current situation."
Qi Xia took the pen and wrote the word "human sheep" on the paper.
"I was curious before why the goat head introduced us to such a strange name as "human goat" at the beginning. It seemed like a lot of things. Now that I think about it, this is also part of the game."
Everyone slowly turned their heads and glanced at the "Human Sheep", but he still didn't make any move.
Officer Li was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Liar, I have a question. The rule stated by Goat Head is "There is only one liar among all storytellers," but he did not tell a story."
"No?" Qi Xia shrugged noncommittally, "I remember Goathead clearly said that he gathered us here to create a "god". Isn't this an incredible story?"
Officer Li lowered his head silently. He felt that what Qi Xia said was very reasonable, but he always felt that something was strange.
"But..." Doctor Zhao started, "All your assumptions are based on the premise that "everyone is a liar", but why do you conclude that we are liars? If we turn over the card , so what if you are the only one who is a "liar"?
"It's impossible for you to tell the truth." Qi Xia smiled bitterly, with a desperate expression. "I also spent some time to verify this issue. Not only do I know that you are all lying, but I also know where you lied."
He handed his scratch paper to
\u003c/di\u003e
He pushed forward, then looked at Tiantian beside him: "Tiantian. You were "working" in the car at that time, with your head sticking out. Did the falling billboard really hit the car and make you lose consciousness?"
Tiantian pursed her lips and dared not speak.
"Qiao Jiajin, you fell from such a high place and hit the billboard. Did you really just "lose consciousness"? "Qiao Jiajin was silent.
"Teacher Xiao Ran, did you really avoid the speeding car with that child?"
Xiao Ran's eyes dodged for a moment.
"Doctor Zhao, the operating room is built much stronger than ordinary rooms to maintain stability, but you said the ceiling of the operating room collapsed. Were you really just knocked out?"
Doctor Zhao turned his head to one side.
"Han Yimo, you said you didn't know what happened at all, but you are most afraid of being disturbed when you are concentrating on writing. Don't you know how you got here?"
Han Yimo sighed slightly.
"Lawyer Zhang, your car was hit into a crack. How deep is that crack?"
Lawyer Zhang folded his arms, expressionless.
"Officer Li, what brand of car do you drive? Can you fold down the seat in an instant and break free from the restraints of the person behind you?" Officer Li touched the red mark on his neck and hesitated to speak. "Ringo, your ceiling has also collapsed, but you said that your studio is located on the upper floors. Once the upper floors begin to collapse, the entire building will not exist, right?" Ringo bowed his head deeply. Seeing the expressions of the crowd, Qi Xia gritted his teeth and said: "Everyone, admit it, including me, all of us are dead."
