Survivorship Bias

Chapter 48: There are ghosts inside

Views:

On the second day after entering the bunker, Ueno was the first to get up.

For some reason, he slept so badly that he couldn't even remember when he fell asleep. He attributed this to a side effect of the hypnotic gas. Lying on the bed, Ueno tossed and turned after opening his eyes, and the image of Shen Ti standing in front of him teasing him and Liu Chengwei kept appearing in his mind, his expression, his tone, entangled like a nightmare.

Could it have been discovered, otherwise why would Shen Ti say that

He has a full eight health bars, if he really knew that he was the one he was cursing, why didn't he attack.

Will Yang Ming and the others help him...

It was really impossible to fall asleep again. The religious murals in this cramped room made him feel more and more heavy and depressing. Ueno got up quickly, tidied up a little, opened the door and left the lounge.

After he came out, he saw that the doors of the other rooms were closed tightly, and he planned to go to the living room, but he didn't expect to see a new piece of paper on the wall next to the passage. After carefully looking at the contents, Ueno took half a step back in shock, and then In a panic, he approached and took the paper off.

"What are you doing?"

Hearing the sound, Ueno turned around in fright and saw Yang Ming standing at the door of Room 1. He was holding on to the side of the door with suspicious eyes.

"Mr. Yang..." Ueno naturally wanted to make it clear that he didn't want to be misunderstood by Yang Ming, if he was pushed out to fight against An Wujiu like Lao Yu and Shen Ti, then there would be no good results.

After listening to his ins and outs, Yang Ming was silent for a long time.

He didn't say a word, and Ueno didn't dare to say anything. He thought of the morning when the game started, the first time he knew that his crush was Yang Ming, he immediately went to him to express his innocence and sincerity, but Yang Ming only cared about his curse line.

[If you want to cooperate, tell me your curse line first. ] He said so.

Ueno had to open his hidden panel to show Yang Ming in order to gain his rare trust.

[I don’t want to die. I’m only 22 years old. I finally finished college in reality. In order for me to go to school, my parents signed a labor contract until the age of 90. They also adopted my sister to someone else for a sum of money. . The whole family emptied the money for me to study. Please, I am willing to do whatever you ask me to do, and my red thread is connected to you, so I will protect you no matter what. ]

He begged Yang Ming for mercy like a dog, but the other's expression was the same as at this moment, without any waves.

Yang Ming wants to get rid of his hidden red and black lines, hold all the handles in his hands, but not tell him his own red and black lines, which is completely unfair.

But there is no fairness in this game.

Pulling away from his thoughts, Ueno glanced at the closed doors of other rooms, turned Yang Ming into an unoccupied passage, took a step closer to him, and whispered in his ear: "I... I feel Shen Ti already knows that I cursed him."

Yang Ming frowned.

Useless idiot.

When he backed away, Yang Ming's dry and yellow face stretched out, showing a smile, and comforted Ueno, whose eyes were full of fear: "It's okay, don't worry."

"Even if he's alive, he doesn't have much value. You don't need to do anything about this kind of person." Yang Ming held the paper in his hand, his face was full of a winning expression, and his voice was extremely low, "I'll let the Shengyin help me when I get up in the morning." I checked Wu You's red and black lines."

"How? Who does he curse? Who does he have a crush on?" Ueno asked hastily.

"I thought this kid was cursing me, but he dared to fight against me." Yang Ming's mouth showed a trace of contempt, "I didn't expect it to be Liu Chengwei."

"Ah?" Ueno looked embarrassed, "Then what should we do?"

"What should I do?" Yang Ming glanced at him displeased.

Ueno consciously said something wrong, and immediately turned away, "Then, who is he secretly in love with?"

Yang Ming raised his eyebrows, "Old Yu. In short... his red line and black line board have nothing to do with us. He came to me last night and told me that he also wanted to join our alliance. Staying up at night helps us, but I’m afraid we won’t accept it.”

"I was still hesitating last night, so the first thing I did when I woke up today was to check his red and black lines. I figured out why he was afraid that we wouldn't accept him. It turns out that the target of the curse is our people."

"Then why don't we use it first? Anyway, his red line and black line are people of low value, and there is no threat." Ueno immediately smiled flatteringly, "Looking at this new clue, we seem to need a night A person who can not be forced to sleep."

Yang Ming smiled, and stuffed the paper in Ueno's hand, "Take it to the porch of the lounge, as if nothing happened. Pretend we just found out."

"Speak up, they should wake up too."

When everyone really woke up and learned of the new notice on the paper, the situation became even more treacherous.

I thought it was just a simple survival game, as long as I worked hard to survive, and if I was lucky, the object of my "secret love" survived and the object of my "curse" died, and I became the obvious winner.

But the appearance of the heretics broke the precarious public trust in the game.

Not only can everyone not know whether the person in front of him is cursing him, but he doesn't even know whether the person in front of him is trying to kill him.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the small wooden door on the clock in the living room opened, and a statue of an angel was pushed out from inside, and the entire bunker once again emitted sacred music. That means it's nine o'clock in the morning.

After the music was over, Ueno said softly, "It's also possible that this piece of paper isn't real."

"I mean, if... After all, none of us seem to be the target of cultists. If there were cultists, shouldn't they be targeted long ago?"

As soon as this sentence was said, Shen Ti laughed outright, and Ueno's face instantly became unconfident.

He didn't understand what Shen Ti was laughing at, he just felt a little scared.

"Yeah, you're really smart." Shen Ti tugged on the lower edge of his glove and tightened it a bit, like a doctor about to perform a surgery, "One of us was killed The guy who has been there twice, his personality is not normal, it seems that he is really not human."

"I didn't say that!" Hearing his hint, Ueno immediately explained to An Wujiu in a panic, "I really didn't mean that..."

Liu Chengwei sneered directly, "Maybe it's true, I think An Wujiu is the most like a cultist who can kill and poison in our group."

Being suspected, An Wujiu was still indifferent, his eyes did not fall on Liu Chengwei at all, but he was doing warm-up exercises by himself, stretching his arms and turning his neck.

"Oh, I actually feel the same way. Only this kind of status is worthy of me. It's a pity that I only got the role of an intern."

"But..." He broke his hand and walked in front of Liu Chengwei.

There is not much difference in height between them, An Wujiu looked at him calmly, "If I am really a cultist, will you kill me directly in a duel?"

He raised the corner of his mouth, "Who do you think I am, to be so cowardly?"

"If I were a cultist, you would have died last night."

Although An Wujiu couldn't give any real evidence at the moment, the momentum of his speech made it impossible to refute.

"Let's talk about it." An Wujiu smiled at Ueno Dacheng, "Why can't this piece of paper be fake? Let me tell you, the person who first discovered this thing is the most suspected person. Aren't there many murderers who pretended to be the first person in the murder case?" Someone who found the body?"

Hearing these provocative words, Ueno quickly shook his head, "No, it's really not me, I didn't do it..."

Under the stalemate, Lao Yu opened his mouth and first gave a conclusion, "I still think that cultists should exist. The games we have participated in before are not easy. Maybe the system sees that our competition is not fierce enough. , just increase the code."

He continued: "Besides, I just said that An Wujiu is a cultist. I don't really believe this point. At present, only An Wujiu has lost his blood bar. He only has one blood bar left. If he really Yes, the cultists will not be ignorant of their identity, and the mission is to kill seven people, which is very difficult. Why didn't he act on the first day?"

"You don't know him." Yang Ming said with a cold face, "An Wujiu can do anything."

An Wujiu touched the wound on his wrist without raising his eyelids, "Wow, you know me so well, I'm so good, don't you have a crush on me?"

Being disturbed by him like this, Yang Ming's expression turned ugly.

"By the way." Under the confrontation, Wu You raised the brim of his hat, his big and round eyes showed a bit of hesitation and fear, but finally he said: "There are two things that I find very strange..."

Uncharacteristically, Yang Ming didn't boss him around, but nodded to him kindly, "Say it."

"I heard some sounds last night, and when I was about to fall asleep, I felt something moving in this corridor... But I didn't dare to open the door. I should be sleeping at that time, and I was afraid that I would make a foul if I went out."

"Hey, I seem to have heard it too." Zhong Yirou originally thought that he was having auditory hallucinations, but he didn't expect that there was someone like him, "And the voice was not low, it seemed to be dragging something, it was very loud, and it was scary."

Wu You nodded, glanced at Liu Chengwei, paused for a moment, and continued: "The second thing is, before I came in last night, I saw Liu Chengwei sneaking around the door of Zhong Yirou and Yang Ming's room. What did you do, and then left again." After speaking, he seemed to be afraid that people would not believe him, and added, "I was walking with Lao Yu at that time, and he saw it too."

Hearing what he said, Lao Yu could only admit: "Indeed, but I don't know what he was doing. Anyway, we sat in the reading room and chatted, and then forced to sleep, and I don't remember it afterwards."

Zhong Yirou reacted first, and pointed to herself, "My room?" Her beautiful eyes were colored with light green eyeshadow, light yellow mascara, and paired with this mint-colored cheongsam, it was fresh and eye-catching.

After finishing speaking, she glanced at Liu Chengwei, "What do you want to do? Your room is still separated from mine, so you couldn't get in last night."

Her words were like a match that ignited in an instant, lighting up the darkness that everyone was still groping for. Everyone looked at Yang Ming.

In terms of rules, his room is adjacent to Liu Chengwei, one is 8 and the other is 1.

"What does it have to do with me!" Liu Chengwei frowned, "You're all fucking sick, and there's something wrong with standing at the door?"

He immediately went to Yang Ming and showed his loyalty to him, "Brother Ming, you don't even suspect me, do you? They are making up things here just to drive a wedge between us!"

Yang Ming's expression was gloomy, and there seemed to be a dark cloud between his brows. It took him a while before he spoke, first to appease,

"Of course I don't trust others casually. This matter has not yet been settled, and we cannot identify who is a cultist based on one act alone."

Liu Chengwei's hanging heart reluctantly fell down, and he gave Wu You who was finding fault with a vicious look.

Zhong Yirou had lingering fears about Liu Chengwei sneaking around the door of her room. She thought of an idea, "I see. Now that everyone agrees that there are cultists, the purpose of the cultists is also very clear. Seven lives, the task With such a huge amount, it was impossible to not act directly last night."

Old Yu nodded, "That's right, let's take a look at the number of blood bars of everyone, and we may find something new."

In addition to the mandatory display of the energy bar, blood bar and survival value can be hidden, all eight people chose to hide in the settings.

Even though Yang Ming had just expressed his belief in Liu Chengwei, doubt was like a thin thorn, piercing into the flesh, and if he didn't pick it out, the subtle and unbearable pain would never disappear.

"Then check them all." Yang Ming finally made a decision like this.

Liu Chengwei had an ugly face and was dissatisfied in his heart, but he couldn't stop anything, he just refused to say a word, put on a resentful expression and called out his character panel like everyone else.

In an instant, the corresponding number of blood bars appeared on everyone's head, and everyone confirmed each other.

After Ueno finished counting his own, he looked at Yang Ming who stood aside who was not worried about his blood count, and counted for him very attentively.

Yang Ming is a capitalist, and the initial character is high in survival value, low in strength, and has only two blood bars, which is easy to count.

"Ming, Brother Ming..." Ueno's extended fingers trembled a little.

"Your blood bar is less, one less..."
