Only a shitty system could come up with such a wicked idea.
Are you kidding me? If you vote both of them out, what if they are wrongly accused
Maybe both of them are contaminated, the system said.
This is not impossible, but if Li Haoyuan was wrongly accused and exiled, Tang Ning would feel guilty.
It was he who brought in the newcomer Li Haoyuan, and he couldn't kill the people he brought in just because of the idea of "it is better to kill a thousand people by mistake than to let one go".
If the monk is not corrupted, then he will behave like a very powerful veteran player. Once he is exiled, the player camp will suffer a great loss.
Just as Tang Ning was struggling over who to choose, he heard the monk calmly say, "Is that what the Pen Fairy said true?"
The next second, Li Haoyuan suddenly said, "Yes, Mr. Tang, what happened when you entered the room? Is there really only a sculpture holding a shield in there? Usually, dangers coexist with opportunities, and treasures are guarded by monsters."
You see, if you don't want to exile others, he will lead others to doubt you. The system's voice revealed a sense of regret.
Tang Ning's heart sank. After hearing what the monk and Li Haoyuan said, Tang Ning realized that no one witnessed what happened when he entered the house.
"I can testify that Tang Ning is not contaminated." Si Tai, who had been walking in the dark, came to Tang Ning's side.
"How can you testify?" Li Haoyuan asked, "You also entered that room. Maybe you were contaminated by that room just like Tang Ning."
The new guy you brought is really a werewolf. The system commented with a smile: A little ungrateful wolf.
Tangning pursed her lips. Are you a system? Why are you suddenly saying this
In the dungeons Tang Ning had experienced before, the system always stood by and watched coldly, especially in the dungeon of the ghost mother. The system even pretended to be missing after Tang Ning lost her memory.
Now, from the beginning of this instance, the system is like this? And it has so many emotions? It can make jokes, make sarcastic remarks, and give him advice.
There is a saying that if something is abnormal, there must be something fishy; if a person is abnormal, there must be something fishy; if someone speaks insincerely, there must be something fishy.
Well, I am a ghost. In fact, you were polluted from the beginning. Now he is right to judge you - the system dragged out the tone and asked: Do you want to hear this answer
Of course Tangning didn't want to hear it.
As soon as this hypothesis came up, Tang Ning was overwhelmed with panic and anxiety. He could not accept this answer, which was a death sentence right from the start.
He doesn't want to lose, he doesn't want to lose in this game, he wants to find his prince, where is his prince
If I am a ghost, why should I pretend to be completely different from the system? The voice continued to ask: Why should I deliberately remind you that the system may be a ghost version of you
Yeah, why
In fact, before the system explained the rules, it behaved normally. Before the joke, Tang Ning had never doubted the system. If it was a ghost that was completely different from Tang Ning, its IQ would not be enough to make such a low-level mistake.
Then you... then why did you suddenly speak
A new personality package has been installed.
Tangning: “…?” Weird.
While Tangning was briefly communicating with the system, Jiang Mianmian spoke up, "I also think that Tangning has not been contaminated. The Tangning I saw is the same as before."
One eye is blind. The system said calmly: I understand a little bit.
… What kind of weird personality data package is installed on the system
It’s not strange, it’s just that I feel like no one cares about me.
But doesn’t the system always look down on everyone
Tang Ning recalled and realized that in the past, the system's sense of superiority was usually directed at Tang Ning alone. Now, the system has an indiscriminate attack attitude of "I'm not targeting anyone, I'm saying that everyone here is garbage."
"All the lights on the third floor are off." Zhou Kang said, "I have four minutes left. In these four minutes, I have to decide who to exile and the allocation of rooms."
He is hinting, the system said.
Tangning was a little confused. What was he hinting at? It was too late to hint at it. Should we quickly choose someone
Housing has always been an important livelihood issue, the system said with emotion.
Tangning: “…?”
There are only three people with rooms now, you, Jiang Mianmian, and the monk. Jiang Mianmian stands for you. You should consider whether you want to team up with Jiang Mianmian. As long as you two work together and live in the same house, one of the houses can be left empty.
The system suggested a way that Tang Ning had never thought of before: an empty safe house, where at least one person could be bribed.
An empty safe room, with only one person staying there, does not need to worry about invasion by ghosts from the outside, nor does it need to worry about the other person being contaminated. This temptation is enormous.
Tang Ning blinked blankly, as if he saw the door to a new world opening in front of him.
Eight players total.
Currently, there are three people suspected of being contaminated: him, Li Haoyuan, and the monk.
Eliminating these three people, there are five people left.
Jiang Mianmian and Si Tai are on his side now. If he can use the empty house to bribe even one person, three out of five people will support him. More than half of the support can decide a lot of things.
… How come he had never thought of this before
What he was thinking about was whether he should let Zhou Kang, Lin Yun, Si Tai and Li Haoyuan squeeze into his room tonight. He was worried that there might be polluters among these people.
"Jiang Mianmian, can I live in the same room with you tonight?" Zhou Kang asked.
Stop being dazed. System question: Do you still want to miss the opportunity to seize the situation like you did just now
What I meant just now was that Tang Ning did not listen to the system and exile the two players named Li immediately.
Tang Ning had not realized it before, but now he realized that it was indeed a great opportunity. He did not have time to take the initiative, but instead let Li Haoyuan and the monk team up to throw dirty water on him.
"Then can I apply to join your dormitory?" Lin Yun said.
Two invitations were made to Jiang Mianmian in succession.
How can I win over Jiang Mianmian? Tangning was a little panicked. He couldn't think of any ideas in such a short time.
How could Jiang Mianmian, who is so powerful, smart and good at protecting herself, be willing to give up a single room and share a room with him, a person who was suspected of being contaminated
The system laughed.
Tang Ning thought that the new personality data package it installed must have the label "love to laugh".
You just need to go over and tell her that you want to win her over, that's all. The system said lightly.
… So simple? Tangning was a little incredulous. Didn't he need to tell Jiang Mianmian about his cards
It's that simple. The system's tone was still casual, but there was a strong sense of confidence in the words. This confidence even infected Tangning for a moment: What you have shown is already attractive enough.
What did he show
Tangning felt at a loss. He wanted to think, but the system urged him: Go ahead and talk to her.
The calm tone of voice sounded like mutual encouragement between friends: Jiang Mianmian, can I share a room with you tonight
This sentence was like a push that gave Tangning a chance to hesitate. Tangning couldn't help but ask, "Jiang Mianmian, can I stay in the same room with you tonight?"
Jiang Mianmian, who did not respond to Zhou Kang and Lin Yun immediately, heard Tangning's words and said directly: "."
This really confused Tang Ning, and he subconsciously asked the system: Why
She told you a long time ago, didn't she? The system patiently said: From the beginning, Jiang Mianmian said that in this copy, she thinks the most important player is you.
But then I showed signs of being contaminated...
Why do you have to focus on your deductions? The system's words once again confused Tangning.
You showed the ability to identify whether a room is dangerous, you got Jiang Mianmian's healing item, your S-level item Pen Fairy is helpful in this dungeon, and the newcomer Si Tai, who you led, chose you without hesitation. The system listed a lot of Tangning's advantages in one breath, and it said: And most importantly, you still have me.
Tangning: “?”
Tangning couldn't help but ask: ... Why are you so mean to me this time
Maybe I was also affected by this copy. The system said with some distress: I wanted to trick you originally, but now I want to help you.
Tang Ning: “???” Damn, it sounds weird but also kind of makes sense.
"That way one room will be vacant," said Christine.
Tang Ning might not have understood the hidden meaning before, but now that Christine mentioned it, Tang Ning felt like she could hear Christine saying frantically in her heart, "I can take care of the empty house if you don't want it."
"Yes." Lin Yun said bluntly, "Tangning, can I stay in this empty room?"
The situation actually turned around all of a sudden.
Lin Yun, Zhou Kang and Christine all need his help, and this kind of interest relationship is far more useful than affection in this copy.
But, but Tang Ning suddenly found himself a little out of control. Three people all wanted this empty house, so if he only gave it to one person, the other two would feel resentful.
Tangning was getting anxious. He asked the system again: What should I do now? Can Lin Yun and Zhou Kang live together? But if so, Christine would be left alone.
Is the most important thing now to allocate housing? The system asked.
Tang Ning was a little confused.
My core demand is to exile the polluted. The system pretended to be surprised and said: Coincidentally, the monk who is suspected to be polluted also has a room. If you drive him out, I will have another empty room.
Tang Ning: “?” Weird.
… It’s really strange, so strange, this feeling, this very wonderful feeling of being able to control everyone’s fate.
It was so strange that even though he knew the system was not powerful, he still couldn't help but want to follow Fang's advice.
Exiling the monk who hinted at being contaminated at the beginning can both eliminate one and win over other teammates.
In the darkness, Tangning slowly raised his head, his dark eyes gleaming with light. He spoke word by word, his voice not loud but his presence could not be ignored by anyone, "I actually have three vacant rooms, Master Jikong, what do you think?"
After a while, a sigh was heard, and the monk said softly: "Amitabha."
