After the English test, the players finally had some time to relax and review, because the afternoon has passed. The next math test will have to wait until after dinner and voting.
Tonight's referendum is very important. Whether it can get off to a good start and boost morale depends on today. After all, from the player's perspective, they still have four ghosts that have not been caught, and only five props. If one is used today and the ghost is not caught, one is wasted, and it will be difficult to deal with later.
This time, the players discussed for a while and unanimously decided to choose from Xu Wanan's roommates.
"There must be a ghost among these three people, Xu Wan'an's death is too strange."
"Yes, I can't think of any possibility other than killing people to silence them."
"Even if it wasn't the three of them, it must be among the girls. A male ghost was caught before, and there must be ghosts among the girls. I don't think the male ghost would go to the girls' dormitory to commit murder."
Reasonable and convincing.
So they set their sights on the three girls Qian Xuerong, Meng Ping and Zhang Qinyu.
The three girls were quite calm, the first two were because it didn't matter if they were eliminated or not, and Zhang Qinyu was because she knew that everyone had props, so it was really impossible to use them to identify her. So basically she won't die unjustly, and she doesn't need to panic.
If you panic at this time, it is easy to be regarded as a guilty conscience. Even if you clamor for them to test you, they may not waste items on you, but directly throw you out.
However, Zhang Qinyu has been looking at her two roommates suspiciously, obviously also doubting their identities.
"Then who do you choose to verify your identity?" Everyone felt a little confused for a while.
"Choose one that is not sure, let's analyze it first."
"Do you still remember how Xu Wan'an died? She was hanged on an electric fan, so this ghost must be relatively strong, and ordinary girls can't hang people up."
"You can pull it down, it's a ghost, it can't have super powers? You have to hang people up with your own strength, are you tired?"
What he said made sense, and the players who were still enthusiastically reasoning just now suddenly became quiet. After all, this is not an ordinary crime reasoning game. Since there is a supernatural existence in it, many inferences are untenable.
The situation became stalemate, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do next.
"If you really can't choose, just pick one at random. Anyway, there are three people, and the probability of being selected is quite high. Even if you don't get selected, it's easy to choose one of the remaining two."
Although this sentence is nonsense, it is indeed the only option at present. The player holding the item struggled for a while, then closed his eyes and chose a person.
Coincidentally, Zhang Qinyu was chosen. The item glows green, telling them it's a normal player. Immediately afterwards, the props turned into dust and dissipated, and indeed they could only be used once.
Now Zhang Qinyu is the safest of all, because she is the only player who has been verified as human. She stood beside her with folded arms, watching coldly how the remaining two people argued.
To her surprise, the two roommates did not choose to defend themselves, but stood there quietly, as if giving up resistance.
very strange. Zhang Qinyu frowned, why are they not afraid of being eliminated
If it is a player, if it is eliminated, it will be obliterated, so many players are very afraid. If it is a ghost, it will also be obliterated if it is voted out, and it stands to reason that it will also be dying.
Unless the ghost is eliminated, it will not be obliterated, but it is temporarily unable to participate in the game. When the next round of players enters the world, they will come back to continue.
Zhang Qinyu's expression turned ugly, she thought, these two roommates are all ghosts, right? She lived with two ghosts for four or five days? So how lucky must she be to survive to this day
No wonder Xu Wan'an would die, he was so close, as long as he found something, he would be wiped by ghosts soon.
Wait, doesn't this mean that no matter which of the two of them is voted out, she will die tonight? After all, there is still one ghost left, and she is the only one who has confirmed the identity of the player. If she was a ghost, she would definitely choose such a known person to kill.
After all, what she said must be from the player's standpoint, and she won't help ghosts and lie. And killing her is better than killing an unknown person and helping the player rule out a suspect.
This is not a werewolf killing game. Ghosts don't need to find out who is a god and kill him, and they don't have to worry about who is particularly good at reasoning and must be eliminated. Anyway, so far, their group of players are just a bunch of dumb fish, and they really haven't figured out how ugly they are.
From this point of view, it is not a good thing to be verified to be upright.
Moreover, in the evening, several people can be voted out by referendum. But even if another roommate is voted out, there are other ghosts who can also come to kill her.
All in all, her situation is very dangerous.
Just when Zhang Qinyu was thinking too much, the players over there had already decided who to vote out. Several tall boys tried to catch Meng Ping, but Meng Ping avoided them.
"I'll go by myself." She glanced at the unkempt boys with disgust.
These few people probably think that it is a escape game anyway, why bother to toss the image, when they are hunted down by ghosts, they still have no image at all. So all of them are sloppy, and I don't know if they have taken a bath these days.
Meng Ping didn't like to get too close to them, but luckily she walked towards the gate.
Several boys looked at each other, and surrounded her in a semicircle three steps away to prevent her from suddenly running away as a demon later. The only way out for her is the half facing the gate.
Meng Ping didn't care about their behavior, and stepped out of the school gate openly.
Just like when Zhou Lang left, Meng Ping also turned into a terrifying appearance the moment she stepped out of the gate, which was her dead appearance in reality. She herself didn't feel it, but others could see it clearly.
After she disappeared outside the door, a prompt popped up on the system interface - [Congratulations everyone for finding a ghost, the remaining number: 2.]
The players immediately cheered excitedly, as if they had accomplished some feat.
"Wait a minute!" Zhang Qinyu, who had been calmly observing the surroundings and wanted to find out all the ghosts earlier because she was worried about her personal safety, suddenly said, "Why are there only two ghosts left?"
The players fell silent instantly, and quickly looked at the system interface.
Hey, it's two, shouldn't it be three? The last time I caught one, the system prompted that there were four left. It didn't make sense to catch one now, and it turned out that there were only two left. Unless Meng Ping is a dual personality ghost, one ghost is worth two ghosts.
A senior person hesitated for a moment, and said, "I have a bold guess."
Everyone looked at her together.
"Is it possible that among the people killed by ghosts at night, there are also ghosts?"
"How is this possible? The ghosts are already dead, so why kill your own people?"
"If you say that someone was killed and turned into a ghost, I think it's more plausible."
"If you put it that way, it can be understood in this way. When the system calculates ghosts, it includes the ghosts we already know. It is possible that there are five ghosts in the original setting, and after one player dies, the system will It counts as we found a ghost, after all everyone knows that he has turned into a ghost, so there are only four ghosts left."
"Then what if the dead player doesn't turn into a ghost? How does the system create five ghosts? Before we enter the world, the system must have determined which ones are human and which ones are ghosts. It is impossible to change which player into a ghost halfway through." , is it easy to make up the number?"
"Whether a dead person will turn into a ghost or not is the system's final decision? It can control itself, so there must be five of them!"
"..."
The players argued for a long time, but instead accepted this statement. After all, compared to ghosts committing suicide, of course, it is more reliable for players to become ghosts.
They really couldn't figure out how the ghost committed suicide. It's not that ghosts can't kill themselves like a werewolf. Although there is no antidote to resurrection here to deceive, after a ghost commits suicide, he might be able to appear directly as a ghost to kill people without waiting until dark.
Looking at Ye Xu and the others, they know that the ghosts that have been captured can't violently hurt people and resist after being caught. Instead, the ghosts that become after death have the opportunity to kill people and scare people. No matter how you look at it, it is more cost-effective to die and become a ghost.
The main problem is that these dead people have bodies.
From the player's point of view, ghosts are already ghosts, and there should be no corpses. Their current bodies are probably solid bodies formed by ghosts. Where else can they get a corpse to deal with everyone? Drag out your original corpse? Won't it rot and stink long ago
Based on this, they feel that the possibility of ghosts committing suicide is very small. Instead, it is better to count dead players as ghosts in the number of people.
Just like that, the players perfectly missed the correct answer. But it's harmless, at most it will make them more anxious, after all, after they die, they may become ghosts and stay here to harm people.
Especially Zhang Qinyu always felt that she was going to die tonight.
Thinking that there were only two ghosts left, and one of them might be caused by the death of the player, Zhang Qinyu simply gritted her teeth and said loudly: "Everyone, wait, I think there should be another ghost!"
Everyone was about to disperse and go back to review, when they heard this, their footsteps stopped.
Zhang Qinyu is not an ordinary player, so everyone is willing to listen to what she has to say.
"My other roommate should also be a ghost..." Zhang Qinyu slowly expressed her conjecture.
Now even if you kill the wrong one, it doesn't matter. If the roommate is a human being, the big deal is to seek revenge from her. In this way, she can be eliminated directly, without worrying that she will die at night and become a monster with neither human nor ghost.
You will die sooner or later, so you might as well give yourself a good time. And if there is really only one night ghost left, then she bet right, starting from tonight, she will be safe.
As for the question of whether it would not be enough for the remaining ghost if no one died at night, Zhang Qinyu also had other ideas. Didn't a player die before and didn't become a ghost? The system just turns it into a ghost and releases it. If it doesn't work, the system kills one at random, and the probability of selecting her will not be as high as it is now.
Thinking of this, Zhang Qinyu collected herself and became more composed. While talking, she thought about the loopholes in her logic, until she felt that what she said was perfect, then she stopped, waiting for other players to judge whether her conjecture was feasible.
She didn't show it on the face, but she was nervous and apprehensive in her heart. Whether she could survive tonight depended on this experience.
