really
For a moment, Wu You was also shaken. The initial system announcement said that each of them must not leave their position, otherwise there will be big problems.
But now...
If that Zhong Yirou who called for help is real, if he doesn't act now, she won't be able to last long with her current physical strength.
If it wasn't for Zhong Yirou, it was just a pretense to lure them into action, but if he took a step away, everything would be over, and the three people inside might really be in danger.
So far, the system has not declared them a mission failure...
If he went to save them, if he was cheated, the fate of the seven people would probably be ruined in his hands.
But if you don't go, if it's the real Zhong Yirou, she will be dragged away if she is in danger, and leave this square, which is also a failure.
Listening to Zhong Yirou's struggling cry for help, Wu You's mind became chaotic uncontrollably, he could only force himself to calm down.
Nan Shan on the side tried to control his peach wood sword, but just as the peach wood sword flew up, it seemed to be blocked by something, unable to move forward.
"Wu You..."
Hearing Zhong Yirou's voice, Wu You's back almost oozes sweat.
"Are you really Zhong Yirou!"
"Roast... Roast chicken... you have nothing to eat..."
The moment he heard this sentence, he suddenly understood.
"I'm going to save her."
Josh's voice appeared in the corridor, "Are you sure?"
"It can only be her who still remembers such an unpalatable food until she dies."
The moment Wu You opened his mouth, the green square under his feet suddenly turned red, and bursts of alarms sounded in the room.
"Compression stopped, powertrain failure."
In an instant, the originally dark room was filled with a dense scarlet light mist.
"Wu You, did you move?" Josh asked in a panic.
"No." Wu You answered him, and called out Zhong Yirou's name again, but got no response.
"Trouble."
He resolutely left the square he was in and ran towards Zhong Yirou, "Zhong Yirou, wait for me, I'm here."
He remembered that she was in the northwest corner.
Nan Shan also seemed to have moved her position, "Be careful, I've passed by too."
Hearing both of them move, Josh also yelled, "Wait for me! I'll come to you too if I move."
Through the diffused red light mist, Wu You ran to the northwest corner, and when he passed the southwest corner, he saw Josh who was also running forward.
But when he arrived, it was different from what he had imagined.
Zhong Yirou was not here, it was empty there.
Soon, he saw a golden light appearing at the corner on the right, Wu You immediately shouted Zhong Yirou's name over there, but what he got was Nan Shan's response.
"Come on, here I am!"
Why the northeast corner
Wu You didn't think much, and rushed towards the position of the golden light together with Josh. In the vast red mist, he saw the face that was exactly the same as An Wujiu again, but he struggled in pain, because Nanshan trapped by the spell.
"It was indeed he who dragged Miss Zhong just now. Fortunately, he didn't have a weapon. Let's see how Miss Zhong is." Nanshan maintained his spell with seal seals with both hands, but his complexion was very bad, and he was struggling.
Wu You helped Zhong Yirou who had collapsed on the ground up, "Hey, are you okay?"
Zhong Yirou still kept his eyes closed, without any response. So he sniffed her breath.
Fortunately, nothing major happened.
"Nanshan..." Josh pointed at the fake An Wujiu in the golden light talisman, "He seems to be disappearing."
As soon as Wu You looked up, he saw that the golden light of the talisman array was about to gradually hide the outline of A02, and his painful expression gradually faded, almost disappearing.
However, Nanshan's physical strength was severely limited by the game, and in the end she couldn't support such a strong technique, so she knelt down on her right knee.
There was a gust of wind, and the spells were removed one by one, and the A02 in front of him completely disappeared into the black mist.
"Is it really a ghost?" Josh helped Nanshan up, "Are you all right, Mr. Nanshan?"
Nan Shan felt that his tongue was sealed, and opened his mouth with difficulty, but it was difficult to make a sound. After a while, he nodded, "Yes."
"So A02 is really dead..." Josh muttered to himself.
"That's why the No. 2 card will be replaced with a ghost card." Wu You thought for a while, "Could it be that the hidden plot of this game is A02's road to revenge?"
Josh also began to speculate about the intentions of A02 who repeatedly appeared, "Would it be... everyone present who killed A02? So he wants to kill the corresponding people on the corresponding floor."
Wu You looked at the top of the corridor, he felt a little weird.
Could it be that if the mission fails, only the people inside will have an accident
Just thinking of this, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of their eyes.
A door in the middle wall opened.
Originally, Wu You didn't intend to approach, but the voice of the magic rabbit appeared again.
"My dear friends, what a pity that your mission has failed.
In this way, your companions may be close to death. "
Wu You's hanging heart fell heavily for a moment, and his fingertips began to tingle.
"But..." That rabbit is too skilled at playing tricks on people's hearts, he paused for a moment, and laughed again, "You know, I'm a very kind person, how can I bear to watch everyone lose their companions?"
"Enter this gate, and you will get what you want."
This is clearly deception.
Even though they knew it very well, Wu You still helped Zhong Yirou walk towards the open door without hesitation.
"Wu You..." Josh was a little scared, "Will there be fraud?"
"I can't just watch them in danger."
Wu You walked forward without stopping. This teenage boy has a calm footsteps and a courage that is rare at this age.
"Brother Wujiu was the first person who was willing to help me in the altar and let me survive. Although he was using him at the time, no one even wanted to use me before that.
Everyone ignores my existence, even if I die, no one cares. "
He didn't continue talking, the cold white light shone on that clean side face.
In the end, Wu You walked in directly.
Josh hesitated, and Nanshan thought it was normal.
It was not like his style to walk in without hesitation at this time.
"Let's go in too." Nanshan said softly to Josh who was supporting him.
"After all, we always have to find the gate of heaven on this floor and go to the last floor. Staying here will only be temporarily safe. If we are together, the chances of winning are always greater, isn't it?"
Josh didn’t struggle for too long.
"I'm just a little scared." He responded softly. Even so, Josh still supported him, walked forward step by step, and entered the door.
The moment they entered the room, the door slammed shut.
The voice of the rabbit appeared again: "Wow, you are so kind, one of you has come in without landing, and this has never happened before."
"More or less, someone always becomes a deserter."
The four walls of this room seem to be made of metal, with a cold luster. In front of them were three identical huge closed metal boxes, each the size of an elevator cabin.
Intuition told Wu You that the three of them were inside.
"What on earth do you want us to do?" Wu You asked coldly.
Rabbit let out a shrill laugh.
"You are so impatient at such a young age.
This is not a good thing for your future challenges. "
As they said that, four huge metal mechanical arms appeared in front of them, grabbing the four of them directly at an extremely fast speed. The metal knuckles were almost twice as thick as human arms, and tightly clamped their waists, completely Can't move.
Just when Wu You was trying to struggle, the giant mechanical hand suddenly released, his body fell suddenly, and finally fell heavily on a bed that was neither soft nor hard.
operating table.
Everyone's body was bound with straps, and there was no room for escape. More elaborate mechanical arms appeared, with electrodes installed at the top, appearing in pairs, aiming at their temples and the top of their heads.
"It's actually very simple, I'm afraid you have already guessed it.
Yes, your companions are now in these airtight metal rooms. They are completing another challenge and all you need to do is buy them time. "
The rabbit smiled, "Is it familiar? It's the same as what happened in the previous circus theater, except that you were in a hypnotic state at that time. Now, you will be extremely awake, more awake than ever."
As they spoke, the mechanical arms equipped with electrodes gradually approached, and the tips hit their scalps and temples heavily.
"Because you will reap unprecedented pain."
The more the rabbit laughed, the more crazy he became, "How lucky you are, you have companions who trust each other, so the pain can be divided into four equal parts. There was a fool who came alone before and had to bear all the pain.
Just passed out from the pain alive, and didn't wake up until the end of the game. "
Although these electrodes haven't really been electrified yet, they seem to have felt the great pain.
"There are seven rounds of challenges in the room, that is to say, you need to be shocked seven times in total. Friends, you can stretch out your right hand and touch the bedside, yes, there is a red button there.
When you feel unbearable, you can also choose to press the button, so that the electric shock you suffer will stop immediately, but the corresponding...
In the room, the time left for them will also stop. "
"Press it, or not, it's up to you to choose."
Rabbit chuckled.
"Then, good luck to you."
In an instant, two blank histograms appeared in front of Wu You's eyes, one showing the degree of pain and the other showing the accumulated seconds.
Both appeared in color at the same time.
The piercing pain was like a snake, piercing his scalp and brain through the electrodes, as if trying to gnaw and suck all his brains dry, it hurts so much, it hurts unexpectedly.
His fingers gripped the operating table tightly.
"Hold on for a while..."
Wu You was no longer clear whether he was talking to the other three or trying to convince himself.
Every crevice in the bone is filled with the pain of electric current breakdown.
"Wow, that's amazing."
"It's already time."
Trapped in the airtight metal room, An Wujiu quietly waited for the rabbit to announce the rules of the game.
Suddenly, he heard violent screams, one after another, not from the same person.
"Who is this? Wu You and the others?"
The rabbit who had been silent for a long time finally spoke: "Don't be so nervous, these kind angels will not die, they are just dedicating and sacrificing for your progress."
This description makes An Wugui feel sick.
It's like forcing a young life to sacrifice for the so-called "future of mankind".
"What are you going to do?"
"Wow, it seems that you really have to use other people's lives to threaten you." The rabbit was very satisfied with An Wujiu's loss of composure, "Don't worry, these poor companions are just enduring pain and fighting for you." time."
"Except for you, the mixed-race woman who is colder than you, and the handsome guy with green eyes, are all locked in a completely airtight room, just like you. The three of you can hear the outbursts of your companions outside in pain Screaming and begging for mercy, but not hearing anything from each other."
This is simply killing their ability to think calmly.
"This game...it's actually very simple." The voice of the rabbit hovered high in the sky, as if above cruelty and pain.
"I just want to ask you a small question: We want to edit the genes of our friends outside, and even the children in the entire detention center. In simple terms, it is to knock out genes that we think are harmful. Of course , you might think, whatever, this is just a game for the altar."
"No." The rabbit lightly shattered their luck and fantasy.
"Don't forget, your nerves have already been connected to this game. Even if your companions are lucky enough to survive and become survivors, the knocked out genes will also block some small but important brain nerves."
This is what Rabbit meant by "incomplete" at the beginning.
An Wujiu's heart turned cold.
This game is built on their pain.
If they really lost, would they have to pay a more painful price
Amidst the mournful cry, An Wujiu forced himself to calm down.
In any case, giving up thinking is the first step towards death.
"You just said... you want gene editing." He focused on the word "want".
"Yes, just want, because we need the opinions of the three of you. So, you just need to answer me to knock out, or not to knock out."
At the same time that the rabbit said these words, a white box slowly appeared on the metal wall in front of An Wujiu. The transparent box lid was opened upwards, and inside were two round buttons, one black and one white. The one printed with YES and the white one is NO.
Below the buttons is a small LED screen, but it's now dimmed.
A small piece of wire was exposed on the bottom edge of the box, An Wujiu wondered if this might be connected to the source of their pain outside.
The rabbit continued, "I will ask you this question seven times in total, and each time I will decide whether to knock out or not to knock out according to the majority of your results. For example, in the first round, two of you chose to knock out, If a person chooses tails, the result of this round is YES, and the minority obeys the majority, which is fair."
An Wujiu doesn't understand, if this is the case, everyone will definitely choose not to knock it out, there is no reason to make a choice that hurts others.
"I know what you're thinking." The rabbit smiled, "Of course it's not just these rules."
"Your answer is not only about their pain and safety, but also determines whether you can get out from here."
"Because there are three decision makers, YES or NO, the rules for unlocking the door are as follows:
A. If all three people choose the same result, no matter whether they all choose to knock out the gene or not, they will unlock the door lock of the player Yang Erci.
B. If two people choose to knock out and one chooses not to knock out, then player Shen Ti's door lock will be unlocked.
C. If one person chooses to knock out and the other two choose not to knock out, you, An Wujiu, will have the chance to unlock the door. "
The screams outside the door became more and more piercing, which made An Wujiu feel uneasy.
"There are seven times to ask the question. What if one of the above situations is repeated?"
Rabbit took it for granted: "Then open the lock again. If B is in the same situation several times, then keep opening Shen Ti's door. If you repeat it one more time, you will waste one more chance to open the door."
"Not only that, even the person who unlocked the door can only be released after the seven questions are over. Before that, you all have to stay here and answer my questions one by one."
"Seven questions will get seven decided answers, whether to knock out or not to knock out. In this way, the minority obeys the majority. If most of the seven times the results are YES, then I'm sorry."
The rabbit laughed strangely, "I can't hear each other's voices, I can't discuss with each other, I can't see each other's faces, I don't even know what answer the other party gave this round, I can only hear the miserable screams of my friends Sound, isn't it lonely and helpless?"
Their information is isolated from each other.
Because the information is not equal, it is impossible to know what answer the opponent will give this round, whether it is YES or NO, and there is no way to adjust one's choice according to other people's strategies.
It is necessary to ensure that the door lock is opened, and the final result after seven rounds must be NO, otherwise the four people outside will suffer irreversible damage.
An Wujiu really wanted to know what Shen Ti's state of mind was at this moment, whether he was being tortured like him.
The rabbit smiled and announced for them, "The people outside have collected the first round of thinking time for you through pain. You know, human endurance is limited. If they are the same as the people before, they may not be able to It's going to be the seventh round."
A huge countdown appeared in front of An Wujiu.
"After 60 seconds, tell me your choice."
An Wujiu closed his eyes and began to think from the perspective of other people.
This is the first chance to answer. It should be easy to think that the three people should choose NO as much as possible, and choose not to knock out. This way of selection can not only reach an agreement, unlock Yang Erci's door lock, but also strive for the first [ The result of not knocking out].
He believed that both Shen Ti and Yang Erci should be able to think of this.
The 60-second countdown was exceptionally short.
An Wujiu opened his eyes, and with 40 seconds left, he made his choice very directly.
He pressed the white button with NO written on it.
The countdown continued for a few seconds, until it reached zero, and the rabbit's voice appeared again.
An Wujiu frowned unconsciously when he heard the applause.
It was applauding, as if watching a wonderful performance.
Soon, a piece of cheerful electronic music appeared in the metal room, just like the system celebration sound that will appear after the game successfully passes a level.
The source of the sound was the box on the wall, and the darkened display on it lit up, and a few characters appeared.
[N,N,N]
"Congratulations, everyone reached a tacit agreement in the first round. Everyone chose not to strike out. I will do what I said, and I will unlock Yang Erci's door now."
New words appeared scrolling on the box display.
[Player Yang Erci's door lock has been unlocked! ]
"It seems that you are all very kind people." Rabbit's voice was as sharp as fingernails scratched on the aluminum metal frame, which made people feel uncomfortable. "There are still six chances to answer, take it well. Their fate, And your own destiny is all in this simple yes and no."
The screams erupted from the unbearable pain penetrated the metal wall, like sharp claws, grasping An Wujiu's heart.
He couldn't imagine how extreme pain it was, which made Wu You, who is good at patience and silence, make such a sound.
He is still an underage child.
"Wow, they saved another 55 seconds for you, it's amazing." The rabbit's happiness was beyond words, "Come on, let's start the second round of answers."
The countdown starts again, and the numbers keep changing.
An Wujiu thought quickly.
In the last round, he used the public answer that all three people wanted, because it would give him a chance to unlock and not knock it out.
But this time, there is no so-called public answer. If everyone chooses not to knock out again, three NOs, the end result can only be repeated unlocking of Yang Erci's door.
In this way they wasted an opportunity.
The best answer is two not knocking out and one knocking out. In this way, taking the majority is not the result of knocking out, and it can also unlock his own door.
Or two knockouts, one not knockout, although you will get the result of knockout, but there are still five chances, enough to move back to the situation, as long as all three of them can unlock, the next few answers will definitely be three A NO, because freedom has been guaranteed.
So this time, as long as he doesn't open the door of Yang Erci's room again, everything will still have a chance.
If you want not to repeat, there must be one person whose choice is different from the other two. And because of the punishment mechanism after the game is over, An Wujiu thought, they would naturally be inclined to the [not knockout] option, because it was safe and correct.
If the other two choose NO, he should choose YES so as not to open the lock repeatedly.
No.
An Wujiu thought again, if he can think of this, others must be able to think of it, whether it is Shen Ti or Yang Erci, they are not such simple people, they must have guessed such a situation, maybe they will consider choosing YES and doing that Balancer.
But in this way, it is likely to lead to a situation where three people choose YES.
Choose NO, choose not to knock out...
A voice kept appearing in my heart, as if trying to persuade him.
What if the two of them also want to choose NO to balance
"There are five seconds left." The rabbit reminded him very kindly.
An Wujiu finally stretched out his hand, pressed the black button, and chose YES.
When the time returned to zero, the rabbit smiled at him.
"Announce your results."
The joyful and pleasant sound of celebration still appeared, but the small screen on that side gave a result that was not worth celebrating.
[YYY]
"You guys are really tacit friends. This time, you made the same choice by coincidence, but replaced it with a knockout gene."
[Player Yang Erci's door lock has been unlocked! ]
"Twice answered, the result was a tie."
The rabbit paused, and spoke softly in the midst of crying and pain.
"There are five more chances, good luck!"
