Chapter 610 The beginning is the end
After Tiantian got the helmet, she put it close to her eyes and looked at it carefully.
As expected, this lamp is specially made, only as big as a rice, and its color cannot be seen at all until it lights up.
Everyone's expressions at this time were very ugly. They were all looking at each other, wanting to communicate, but unable to speak due to the rules.
"Everyone, listen up." Man-Monkey smiled evilly, "The last rule will be announced next, which will make it possible for you to keep your "tickets."
Everyone in the room who was slightly flustered looked at Man-Monkey after hearing this, wondering what else he would say.
I saw Man-Monkey taking out a stopwatch from his arms and shining his flashlight on it.
"When I shout the word "start", you have twenty seconds to communicate countermeasures." Although Man-Monkey was wearing a mask, everyone was obviously smiling when they saw his eyes, "This will be your game. One last chance to communicate before we start.”
Everyone's expressions gradually became uneasy - twenty seconds?
How many words are enough in twenty seconds?
There wasn't even time for each of the eleven people on the field to say a word.
"Get ready..." Man-Monkey smiled, "Start."
As soon as the word "start" was spoken, the scene was like a thunderous explosion. More than ten people spoke at the same time and the scene was chaotic.
But these people who spoke had no countermeasures. They just wasted precious time to express their confusion and incomprehension. Some of them were shouting loudly to the monkeys. A small building was like a It is the busiest vegetable market in the early morning. It seems to be bustling with people, but you can't hear a word clearly.
"I have a way!!" Zheng Yingxiong shouted, "Everyone listen to me!!"
But the human voice was too noisy and no one heard him clearly.
"Everyone!!" Xiao Cheng didn't even have time to ask Zheng Yingxiong what countermeasures he had, and quickly shouted for him, "Quiet! Don't waste time! This kid has a solution!!"
He knew that Zheng Yingxiong had preserved his memories for a long time, and might even have participated in similar games before. Maybe there was a way to crack it.
"What can a child do?!" An old man who was closest to Xiao Cheng heard what he said and immediately responded, "Let me tell you, everyone should quickly set a password and find a way to notify each other when the time comes!"
"Ah, yes!" The old man's words instantly received a lot of approval, and everyone nodded and said, "Stamp your feet! Stomp your feet when you see the other party's light! Once blue, once red, twice!"
Xiao Cheng shouted in his heart that something was wrong. These people were just coming to participate in the "monkey" game just for the sake of petty gains. They had already started discussing countermeasures without even understanding the rules. Is this really possible?
According to the rules, not only can they not see the lights on each other's heads, but they can't pass the code, but they are formulating ridiculous tactics in this direction.
But now more than half of the time has been delayed. If there are only a few seconds left, how can we discuss a good countermeasure?
Countless thoughts passed through Xiao Cheng's mind. This game was really unfair to everyone. No wonder Man-Monkey said "the more people, the better", naturally because of the twenty seconds of discussion time. , if there were only three or two people present, they would most likely have discussed a countermeasure, but now there were eleven panicked people in this room.
The more people there are, the greater the chance of winning in this game. So how can we win?
Because he didn't know that Man-Monkey would ask everyone to discuss countermeasures in advance, Xiao Cheng felt that his brain was in chaos at this time. It was not that he was not smart enough, but Man-Monkey made full use of psychological tactics, the so-called "if one person commits a foul, everyone will be eliminated." , which is the standard psychological warfare between humans and monkeys.
At this time, in such a noisy environment and under such huge psychological pressure, it is impossible for anyone to calm down and quickly come up with countermeasures, and then convince ten other people.
Xiao Cheng secretly calculated in his heart that there was probably not much time left, at most three to five seconds. What should he do at this time? !
"You have to jump in line!!!" Zheng Yingxiong stood behind everyone and shouted heartbreakingly, "If you want to win, you must jump in line!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Man-Monkey pressed the stopwatch in his hand and said with a sneer: "The time is up, the discussion is over."
The noisy room suddenly became extremely quiet, and everyone's words suddenly stopped, leaving only the sound of heavy breathing.
Since the surroundings were extremely quiet, the last words Zheng Yingxiong said kept lingering in everyone's ears.
Want to jump in line?
In this game called "No Queue Cutting", do you want to cut in line?
Since no one can communicate with the people around them now, everyone naturally began to recall the meaning of this sentence.
"The game officially begins." Man-Monkey said, "I" please go up the stairs and stand in the rectangular area on the second floor. "
At this time, Xiao Cheng keenly felt that the voice of the human monkey had changed.
He seemed less confident than he had been at the beginning.
What on earth is this...?
Is it because of what Zheng Yingxiong said?
As the man-monkey spoke, he walked aside and touched the shoulder of a middle-aged woman. Under the illumination of the flashlight, the woman's expression was obviously relieved.
She nodded and hurried up to the second floor.
For everyone, the first person is undoubtedly the easiest. No matter where she stands, she will not lose the game. After all, the remaining people have to choose their positions according to their colors.
Everyone raised their heads and watched her go up to the second floor. The moment she reached the second floor, a red light lit up behind her head.
This scene was seen by everyone on the first floor, but what could it mean?
Everyone can only see the color of the lights above other people's heads, but the biggest difficulty in winning this game is how to choose.
At this time, Man-Monkey stepped forward and touched Tiantian's shoulder.
Tiantian was startled, then nodded, looked up at Xiao Cheng with some anxiety, and then walked up to the second floor.
Xiao Cheng also stared closely at the helmet on her head and noticed that when she reached the second floor, a red light came on behind her head.
He knew that Tiantian's situation was relatively relaxed. She could choose to stand on the left or right of the first woman. No matter what, the two of them had different colors.
Then it’s time for others to make a decision.
They had to guess the color of the lamp above their head, and then choose to stand on the sweet side or the middle-aged woman's side.
Starting with the third person, his choice will likely cause everyone to lose the game.
As long as red, blue, red, or blue, red, and blue positions appear, everyone else does not need to play the game anymore, and the outcome is certain to lose.
I don’t know whether Man-Monkey did it on purpose or by chance, but he chose Xiao Cheng as the third person.
Xiao Cheng slowly frowned, suddenly feeling tremendous pressure.
