end of ten days.
Chapter 9 The Unacceptable Truth
After seeing these three words, everyone looked a little astonished.
"I drew 'Liar'. "Qi Xia said slowly, "But it doesn't matter if this card is lifted or not, because it doesn't matter at all. "
He picked up the card and threw it casually in the middle of the table.
"If I'm not mistaken, the cards in each of your hands are "liars." "
After everyone heard this, no one moved. After a while, Officer Li asked, "So...you mean everyone lied just now?"
"That's right." Qi Xia nodded, "Everyone is smarter than I imagined. You all added a little lie to your own story, so that the story is completely true without affecting the logic of the plot."
Officer Li thought for a while, and seemed to have thought of something.
"If what you said is correct..." Police Officer Li sighed meaningfully, "The problem is even more difficult."
Everyone looked at Officer Li again, not knowing why.
Police officer Li continued: "According to the rules, we can only live together if all of us choose the liar, but in this case the liar will lose. So we..."
Dr. Zhao was the first to understand what Officer Li meant: "You mean... we can vote at will because everyone is lying, and it becomes a "must-win game" where only the voted people die? "
"That's right." Officer Li nodded. "The best solution now is to concentrate all the votes on one person, so as to minimize the loss. After all, the remaining people can survive..."
His words suppressed the atmosphere of the crowd to the extreme, but the goat's head did not move at all.
So...they're just voting for one of them to die?
Qi Xia sighed helplessly, looked at Officer Li and said, "Officer, is it your hobby to interrupt others? Does this give you a sense of accomplishment?"
"What's your name?" Police Officer Li frowned and replied, "I'm not helping you with advice?"
"I don't need your help." Qi Xia said without thinking, "Your thoughts will kill everyone."
"What?" Officer Li was taken aback, "Why did I kill everyone? Am I wrong? If everyone is lying, wouldn't any vote be valid?"
"Officer Lee, Goat Head said, "Rules are absolute" and "There is one and only one liar", do you remember? "
"This..." Officer Li pondered for a moment, recalling that Goat's Head had indeed said these two sentences.
"Let me sort out the thoughts for everyone now." Qi Xia said coldly, "In this game, it seems that the "liar" has a great chance of winning, because everyone feels that they are going to win, but if we vote at will , it will be all of us who will die in the end. "
Qiao Jiajin, who was sitting next to Qi Xia, touched his flower arm, and said to himself: "Because we broke the "rules"..."
"Yes." Qi Xia nodded, "But the interesting thing about this game is that we can't deduce whether the other party is lying at all. As Lawyer Zhang said, we can only deduce based on whether our respective experiences are contradictory. People from different regions, no matter how contradictory things happened, there is no [-]% certainty to prove that the other party is lying."
Qi Xia looked at the people who were deep in thought, and then said: "The "organizer" specially chose nine of us to sit here, there must be his purpose, that is to let us learn from the seemingly interrelated stories. Self-righteously find flaws. "
"But is that really right? How can we be sure that the other party is lying?" Qi Xia sneered, "In this game, the only "liar" we can [-]% confirm from the known clues is this person.What he said is completely different from our current situation. "
Qi Xia took the pen, and wrote down the word "human sheep" on the paper.
"I was wondering why Goat Head would introduce us to such a strange name as "Human Goat" at the beginning, which seemed like a lot of work.Now that I think about it, this is also part of the game. "
Everyone turned their heads slowly and glanced at "Human Sheep", but he still didn't move.
Police Officer Li was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Liar, I have a question, the rule that Goat Head said is "among all storytellers there is one and only one liar", but he didn't tell a story. "
"No?" Qi Xia shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, "I remember Goat's Head clearly said that he gathered us here to create a "God", isn't this an unbelievable story? "
Officer Li silently lowered his head. He felt that what Qi Xia said was very reasonable, but he always felt that something was weird.
"But..." Doctor Zhao said, "All your assumptions are based on the premise that "everyone is a liar", but why do you conclude that we are liars?What if we turn over the cards and you are the only "liar"? "
"It's impossible for you to tell the truth." Qi Xia smiled wryly, with a desperate expression on his face, "I also spent some time to verify this question. Not only do I know that you are all lying, but I also know where you lied."
He pushed his draft paper forward, and then looked at Tiantian beside him: "Tiantian. You were "working" in the car and stuck your head out, and the falling billboard really hit the car. Made you unconscious? "
Tian Tian pursed her lips, not daring to speak.
"Qiao Jiajin, did you really just "lose consciousness" when you fell from such a high place onto the billboard? "
Qiao Jiajin was silent.
"Mr. Xiao Ran, did you really avoid that car that was speeding by with that child?"
Xiao Ran's eyes dodged for a moment.
"Doctor Zhao, most brain operating rooms are built underground for the sake of a stable environment, but you said that the "ceiling" is broken. What does the broken ceiling in the basement mean? "
Doctor Zhao turned his head aside.
"Han Yimo, you said that you don't know what happened, but when you concentrate on writing, you are most afraid of being interrupted. Don't you know how you got here?"
Han Yimo sighed slightly.
"Lawyer Zhang, your car was hit into a crack, how deep is that crack?"
Lawyer Zhang folded his hands, expressionless.
"Officer Li, what brand of car are you driving? Can you put the seat down in an instant and break free from the restraints of the people behind you?"
Police Officer Li touched the red mark on his neck, hesitant to speak.
"Ringo, your ceiling has also collapsed, but you said that your studio is located on a high floor. Once the high floors start to collapse, the whole building will cease to exist, right?"
Ringo lowered his head deeply.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Qi Xia gritted his teeth and said:
"Everyone, admit it, including me, all of us are dead."
"I drew 'Liar'. "Qi Xia said slowly, "But it doesn't matter if this card is lifted or not, because it doesn't matter at all. "
He picked up the card and threw it casually in the middle of the table.
"If I'm not mistaken, the cards in each of your hands are "liars." "
