When Shen Mu walked into the room, Du Xiulin was still sitting on the bed with a smile on his face, but his body was motionless, showing no intention of speaking.
At this time, Du Xiulin seemed to be a little different from what he saw before. Shen Mu's eyes fell on Du Xiulin's body, and he responded with a smile. Although he smiled like a spring breeze, he also didn't open his mouth.
"Click" Yan Yuze closed the door, and the spring lock made a crisp sound, and the somewhat delicate atmosphere was broken at this moment. Yan Yuze walked into the room and said casually, "What's the matter? Aren't you going to talk about the rules of the game? You don't even talk?"
After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for a response, but went to the window and picked up a glass of water that was placed there. Holding the glass with his slender fingers, Yan Yuze casually looked out the window while drinking the water.
Looking at Du Xiulin who was sitting on the bed and Yan Yuze who was standing by the window, Shen Mu went straight to the point: "Did you two meet other players on the way here? I mean the other three who were eliminated among the 15 players. "
"No." After Yan Yuze drank the water, the glass twirled in his fingers like a pen.
"Me neither." Du Xiulin took off his glasses and said with a few shakes. At this time, Du Xiulin seemed to have returned to the gentle and refined look in Shen Mu's previous impression. The Du Xiulin just now made Shen Mu feel a little different, but after he spoke, this feeling disappeared.
"Don't you think it's strange to say it?" Shen Mu watched Du Xiulin's movement of shaking the glasses, and suddenly reacted, and temporarily put aside the topic he wanted to talk about, "Why can the glasses be kept?"
The clothing for each game in this game is configured by the system. Except for the red bead, everything else on Shen Mu's body is issued by the system, such as clothes and mobile phones.
Yan Yuze was also a little stunned. His eyesight was 20, and he saw many people wearing glasses in the outside world. Subconsciously, he felt that wearing glasses was a very common thing. He had been playing games for a while, and he didn't think there was anything wrong.
Du Xiulin had thought about this problem, and was slowly returning the glasses to the bridge of his nose at this time: "I noticed this problem. Didn't you pay attention? Not only the glasses, but also the hairstyle." Du Xiulin pushed the glasses again, and finally put the It adjusted to a comfortable position, and then said, "It's not the lion head like No. 7, but the little sister like No. 9, who has been wearing double ponytails all the time, and No. 10 is also wearing ponytails. Their hair rings They are also preserved like glasses, or is it the hair tied with air?"
"..." Shen Mu was speechless for a moment, and hadn't noticed such an obvious thing before.
"Actually, I have done research on this point." Du Xiulin said suddenly, he slowly spread his palms, the room is not big, even though Shen Mu was standing in the middle of the room, he could clearly see a light-colored scar on Du Xiulin's palm .
"Self-mutilation is very suitable for you." Yan Yuze obviously also noticed the scratch on Du Xiulin's palm, which was obviously scratched with a blade.
The corner of Du Xiulin's mouth curled slightly, and he did not accept Yan Yuze's provocation like he did when he spoke before, but continued: "I scratched this myself before entering the game, and the injured state was also brought into the game. Although in reality His body was not brought into the game, but the state of the body in the game is completely "customized" after the state of the body in reality. My understanding is that scars are judged as a state, and illness, including drunkenness, is also "customized". It is judged as a kind of physical state." Having said this, Du Xiulin stopped. At this moment, Shen Mu remembered what Xie You told him before, that Du Xiulin came with Lin Huiru.
Sure enough, Du Xiulin went on to say: "On the way here, I met No. 5 who was eliminated on the first night. She was quite drunk at the time. Therefore, it is certain that any state of being drunk, sick, or injured will be brought into the game. "
Shen Mu's eyes flickered slightly. 'Out on the first night', Du Xiulin mentioned the content of the game but nothing happened. Of course, being out on the first night on the 5th is definite information that everyone knows. Saying this is not off-site or cheating. No one answered this sentence, nor does it constitute 'discussing the content of the game outside of the discussion time'.
Regarding the rules of the game, Shen Mu has already remembered in his heart:
'Anyone is prohibited from cheating, including but not limited to sharing identities, talking about the content of the game outside the discussion meeting'
Seeing Du Xiulin push his glasses habitually, what made Shen Mu feel concerned was whether he was fully aware of this, possessed absolute confidence, and completely controlled his speech within the rules—or did he just say it unconsciously.
Du Xiulin said: "So I think that the characteristics of the head, such as glasses and hairstyle, are also listed as one of the physical conditions like illness, drunkenness, and injury."
The head can be broken, the blood can flow, and the hairstyle can't be messed up. The corners of Shen Mu's lips twitched slightly. He didn't know whether the system of the Xuanming game was a living thing with the same thinking ability as a human, or a dead thing like a computer program. But it doesn't matter.
"One more thing, have you noticed?" Many thoughts turned in his mind for a while, but Shen Mu continued to talk about Du Xiulin's topic, "As far as the players of the hanging life game I met, most of them are around 20 years old Young people, younger than 10 years old and older than 30 years old seem to be rare, and I haven’t encountered any older people at all. Of course, this is only the first game, and the amount of information is not enough.”
"This has something to do with the rules of the game itself." Yan Yuze said indifferently, "If you lose, you will sleep for a few years, and if you lose again, you will sleep for decades. Old people can't afford to sleep. Besides, old people can't play. Let’s kill the werewolf. Regarding this point, isn’t it very similar to a college exam? Suspense game is like a university. Maybe in addition to suspense game, there are also life-defying games and desperate games, like a certain workplace or a certain elementary school, The selection rules for different games are different."
Shen Mu nodded slightly, Yan Yuze's metaphor was vivid, although it was speculation, it really made sense.
Yan Yuze added: "Besides, this is not important. The 'what' is already fixed, and the 'why' is not important!"
"Is the important thing 'how to do'?" Du Xiulin chuckled, "Although the hanging game is unfair in a certain sense, such as keeping the sick and injured status of the weak. However," Du Xiulin's eyes flashed, and he smiled The meaning behind the lens became a little blurred, "There is no such thing as absolute fairness. Besides, won't you be able to realize a wish in the end? All challenges are opportunities, and the Suspense Game has banned cheating to the greatest extent. , to ensure the fun of the game itself, and fairness with..." In the end, Du Xiulin's smile became even more ambiguous: "The so-called weak are weak everywhere."
"Yo, isn't Mr. Du pretending to be a good person?"
As if he didn't hear the sarcasm in Yan Yuze's words, Du Xiulin chuckled lightly: "I've always been like this." After finishing speaking, he changed the topic and stopped answering Yan Yuze's words, but suddenly said to Shen Mu: "If you guessed right, 2 No. On the way you came, have you met eliminated players?"
"There is one." Bringing the topic back to the question he wanted to discuss at first, Shen Mu said a little strangely: "Don't you think it's strange? Although 15 players are prepared, if there are more than 3 players, the On the way, wouldn't it be enough to make up a 12-player game?" Although Shen Mu had his own speculation in his heart, he only threw out the question.
"The game doesn't stipulate how long it takes to arrive at the meeting place. Then there are three possibilities." Du Xiulin said while thinking, "One is if there are players who have been late, but these players are still alive, Then the system will either make us wait until 12 people get together...or wait until someone dies. Second, there is a hidden time point limit. After reaching a certain time point, if there are still players who have not arrived, the players who have not arrived Out of the game directly. As for what to do if there are few people, this is similar to the third situation."
"The third situation is that more than 3 players died before arriving at the game meeting point. Of course, it is never possible to make up 12 players. In this case, I think the system will assign new players to come in. Although sleeping According to regulations, players have to sleep for enough years to participate in the next game, but I think that in the case of years, if a player needs to wake up early, the system will let the player join the game in advance, and some differences in the number of days can also be ignored .”
Du Xiulin's analysis was reasonable, but Shen Mu thought of another question: "What was the date when you entered the game? What time is it, do you remember?"
"November 10 at midnight, 2019."
"same."
"Me too." Shen Mu nodded and asked, "What about the preliminaries? I was two days ago, number 8."
Yan Yuze: "Five days ago."
Du Xiulin: "Thirteen days ago."
As soon as this remark came out, the three of them were a little surprised. The time for the preliminaries is different, but the notification time for the official games is the same.
"Our group of players, I don't know how many there are, but I'm afraid they will be bound." Shen Mu looked at the sunlight outside the window and said in a daze.
'Player Shen Mu's first round of games will start at zero o'clock on November 10, 2019 in the real world, the second round of games will start about a week after the end of the first round, and the third round of games will end about two weeks after the end of the second round Then start, and so on. The time flow rate in the game world and the time flow rate in the real world are 100:1'
Based on the overall rules of the Suspense game, all players with the same time in the first game will have the same time in each subsequent game. Then it can be preliminarily judged that in a certain time domain, the players participating in the preliminaries are all the same group of players, which is probably equivalent to the candidates of this session. Although the reporting time is different, and the test room may be randomly assigned each time, the test time must be the same.
After discussion, it appears so at the moment. But regarding the distribution of players in each round, Shen Mu had other thoughts and speculations, but he didn't mention them here. Although it has not been discussed, Shen Mu is sure that An Yu must know about these, and also know more questions that have not been thought of for the time being.
Shen Mu is not really eager to know the answers to these questions. As Yan Yuze said, when the 'what' is already fixed and it is impossible to change even if you know the 'why', what you should consider is the 'how', and Not 'why'.
The scene fell into silence for a while. Looking at Du Xiulin who was silent, Shen Mu felt the weirdness when he first entered the room. He had already exchanged a lot of information, and Shen Mu didn't intend to stay for a long time. As a "prophet", he should visit Look at other players, such as "Looks like a wolf, or it may be the little sister No. 9 who really doesn't speak well".
