Chapter 882 Simple Logic
I know that I have tried my best to find Aries as quickly as possible.
It took a total of almost five hours from the time I noticed he disappeared on the property to the time I found him.
But I feel like I'm still late.
When we came to Aries' new playing field, the first thing we saw was that Aries had completely changed his appearance.
He no longer had the mask, replaced by a cold sheep face.
His suit was spotless at the moment, and just standing there gave people a sense of oppression.
It's just that he seems to be in trouble. Now there are several "participants" standing in front of Aries shouting something.
"Why don't you speak?" a woman asked, "What is your game?"
The "participants" asked questions one by one in front of Aries, but Aries closed his eyes slightly and said nothing.
I suddenly thought that White Snake told us, "Aries has designed a game full of loopholes and may be fouled at any time." Is he stalling for time?
"What's wrong with this local sheep?" Several people in front of him whispered, "Can't he hear us?"
"Hey..." One person said again, "Don't be silent, "sheep" are rare to begin with... We finally found "disheep", why don't you let us see it?"
Aries closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then opened his eyes and said, "I'm sorry, the game has already been reserved by "VIPs". I can only receive them in batches. You can't play the game until the reservations come."
Only then did I see that the eyes of Aries were also very strange. They were gray-white like a real goat, and had dark rectangular pupils.
And...his voice seemed to have changed.
Is it because the throat structure of sheep is different from that of humans?
"Reservation...?" One person was stunned, "Do you still need to make a reservation for your game?"
"Yes, this will be a game you have never seen before." Aries said, "I will give priority to serving the "VIPs" instead of ordinary people."
After Aries finished speaking, he turned his head slightly, and his eyes happened to pass through the crowd and saw Jiang Ruoxue and me.
"They are here." Aries said with some relief, "Now please wait a moment, you can participate in the next batch of games."
Jiang Ruoxue and I hurriedly walked through the crowd and came to Aries. He nodded slightly to the two of us, then turned around and opened the door of the building.
After entering the door, we discovered that this seemed to be a large bank. The center of the building had been cleared away, leaving an empty small square.
Twelve animal statues carved from wood are placed in the center of the square from left to right, and a table is placed in front of each statue.
Two vertical lines were drawn on the table, dividing the table into three parts, which read "win", "lose" and "kill" respectively.
Among them, "win" and "loss" occupy the largest area, and "kill" accounts for the smallest area.
The order of the animal statues ranges from rat to pig, and it seems that all twelve zodiac animals are among them.
There are three more lights at the bottom of each zodiac statue, one red, one white and one green.
At the counter of the bank in the distance, a display screen hung above. This display screen stares at the twelve zodiac statues like an eagle hovering in the sky.
"Aries..." I came to my senses and shouted, "Are we here too early?"
"Anyway, it's not too late." Aries said, "If you hadn't shown up, I would have been carried away by Suzaku today. After all, my game venue is at the intersection with the largest number of "participants."
"I don't quite understand..." Jiang Ruoxue stretched and said, "You are so smart, why don't you design a stable "prefecture-level game" first? Do you have to take the risk and wait for the two of us to come over?"
"Wealth can be found through risk." Aries said, "High risks naturally lead to high rewards. Nowadays, most "prefecture-level" games either use sophisticated mechanisms or let the "zodiac" personally participate. The first type is safer, but has poor performance. Slowly, although the second method can speed up the progress, it will also put myself in a dangerous situation because I am in a hurry, so I cannot choose these two methods.”
"So you chose "karma"?" Jiang Ruoxue looked at the twelve statues in the venue, "Are you going to make these statues have "karma"?"
"It's not quite accurate to say 'cause and effect'." Aries said, "I only need the simplest logical relationship."
"What's the logical relationship?" Jiang Ruoxue asked.
Aries walked up to a "rat" statue and said, "Next, I will tell you the logic, and you can choose how to cast "karma"."
"good."
"This statue represents the "Gopher" closest to me." Aries said, "And I need this prop to meet the following conditions. Once the "Gopher" game starts, a white light will light up below the statue. , if the "gopher" wins the game, the red light will turn on separately, and if the "participant" wins, the green light will turn on individually. "
"Hey...?" Jiang Ruoxue and I were slightly stunned after hearing this, "That's it?"
"This is a normal situation." Aries said, "There are also special situations."
"You said..." Jiang Ruoxue said.
"If the "Zodiac" dies, all three lights will light up and strobe." Aries said, "The strobe time will exceed five minutes."
Jiang Ruoxue nodded after hearing this, then walked forward to look at the lights.
"Are these lights... all connected to the wires?" she said. "I can only control 'cause and effect', but there is no way to do supernatural things. If there is no electricity, these lights will not light up."
"Of course." Aries said, "These lights are all connected, and the display screen behind me can also be used."
"Then what is the screen behind you for?" I asked.
"That's the second way to play this game." Aries said, "First add the 'cause and effect' of these statues."
"Okay, it's not difficult." Jiang Ruoxue nodded and looked back and forth at the wooden statue in front of her.
These statues are quite exquisitely made. Although they are carved from wood, each animal is lifelike, and even the hair is carved out.
After Jiang Ruoxue said a few words to each statue from left to right, the lights began to gradually light up.
At this moment, I feel that this bank is not just a game venue, but more like a huge chessboard.
Aries only needs to stand in this field every day to know the status of the twelve closest "zodiac signs" nearby.
Moreover, according to this logic, even if the "zodiac sign" closest to him is gambled to death, the second-closest "zodiac sign" will become the "closest" again, and the gaming facilities will continue to be in effect.
Coupled with the tables placed in front of the "zodiac signs", I speculate that Aries' gaming venue is likely to be a "casino".
This is an idea that seems novel, but not particularly perfect.
Although I don’t know what would be better, but if it is Aries... he should be able to design better games, right?
