Chapter 405 Secrets in Post-it Notes

"Since it is a post-it note, it is naturally used to convey information to players." Player 7 replied.

"If the game is to convey information to each player, then a sticky sticker is enough.

"Everyone gives a stack, which seems to be used to pass information between players.

"Indeed, it is also a common plot to pass small notes or use notes to leave clues in mystery dramas.

"But if you give a post-it note but not a pen, isn't it too inconvenient to convey information?"

Meng Fei uttered a series of unreasonable things, which turned up everyone's appetite, and finally gave a reasonable explanation:

"I judge that the game will not be so unreasonable. So since the game provides post-it notes, it must provide a pen.

"Don't forget, the hint in the prologue says: He has a special item.

“While we think of night vision goggles, skeleton keys, or a knife or gun for killing people, pens can also be props.

"So there is a pen in the game, but most of us don't have it, only the killer does. So we can't see it, and we don't know it.

"In the killer-first-arrival scene, there are master keys that give access to every locked room.

"After entering, he will see the message left by the post-it sticker on each player's table.

"So imagine if you were a killer, what would you do?"

"You mean..."

After being suspected, he has been afraid to express his opinion. The short but sturdy No. 7 spoke.

He felt that his stiff, frozen head seemed to be being vigorously stirred, and it started to turn.

"You mean that the post-it note we saw was actually left by the killer?"

This rather horrifying information shocked everyone's nerves, causing the atmosphere at the scene to become very strange.

"If that's the case, then the game is simply unplayable."

Number 1 showed an unbelievable expression.

"It means that he can modify the rules at will and let us die one by one."

"You're right. If that were the case, the game would be out of balance again.

"For example, the killer can completely remind us on paper that we must stay in the living room when it is dark and cannot enter the room.

"In this way, in the first darkness, he might be able to kill four people at once and win.

"So I guess there's a limit to the killer rewriting everyone's message note.

"He should be limited to hiding the rules, but not falsifying the rules.

"I guess his first thought was to remove the rules of 'the living room lights will go off at a certain time' and 'the lights in the room will stay on when it's dark' in the message.

"In this way, the first darkness catches all players off guard, and he can take the opportunity to kill a few.

"Although the four goals may not be achieved, he has successfully achieved the first step if he kills someone without exposing himself."

"Oh, then why didn't he delete all the information? Just let everyone be confused?"

The top of the head was shiny, but No. 1, whose face was stiff, questioned again.

"Deleting all the information will not create more opportunities for him to kill, but will arouse suspicion.

"So what he left behind were rules that didn't matter and could easily be tried and tested by us.

"For example, the room cannot be used by three people at the same time, and guests will almost certainly try to share a room with three or even four people.

"But we know from the first try that when there are two people in the room, the third person can't get in at all.

"There's the same obvious rule like you need a key to open the door.

"Leave the rules here and it will look seamless."

"Then, he also specially wrote the rules of killers for No. 3." No. 6 wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with lingering fear, "In this way, he doesn't even have to kill himself."

"Yes, as long as you do it yourself, you may expose yourself.

"So his best way is to let another person think he is a killer. In this way, he can sit on the sidelines and watch.

"Maybe it's not his turn to do it at all, and he can easily win!
"The only trouble is how to modify these rules. It is not allowed to scribble and modify the post-it notes provided by the system, that is too fake.

"So he had to take out the information that the system had provided and rewrite it. So he had to rewrite it for everyone.

"It would take a few minutes to copy so many texts just once, right? A total of 7 people's texts had to be rewritten.

"In addition to his reorganization of the text and trade-offs of the remaining rules, it took nearly half an hour to let the guests in and start the game.

"That's why it's 7:15 when I enter the sleep pod, and it's 7:45 when I actually start the game."

"Ha ha."

No. 1, who had always been nervous, scratched the top of his head that was about to go bald, and a disdainful smile suddenly forcibly appeared on his greasy face.

"It's just your speculation that the killer got here first and then rewrote everyone's information.

"Even if the information has been rewritten, the original information is long gone, not even the new Post-it notes that were written.

"I think you can't even prove whether No. 3 is the killer, so how can you prove who the real killer is?
"After all, each of us knows about No. 3's murder, and the so-called real killer who changed the information you said has no trace at all. It's all because of your mouth!"

"Is there a trace?"

Having said that, Meng Fei pouted at the pile of post-it notes on the table.

"Used post-it notes will leave marks, of course. Otherwise, I can't find any reasonable explanation for just two strange feelings."

"Oh?

"You mean the marks left when writing?

"If you write something on the first sheet of a stack of paper, there will always be pen marks on the second sheet?"

Originally, the sense of participation was poor, but now the number 7, who is more and more interested, began to participate in the reasoning with great ambition.

"If this is the case, just look carefully at the first post-it note on each stack, and maybe you can find traces of handwriting..."

He really found a stack of post-it notes to read.But judging from the first sheet of each stack of post-it notes, it seems that no one has ever used it.

"I hope so too, but unfortunately neither the system nor the killer left such traces.

"They just want not to leave pen marks, so every time they use a post-it note, they tear it from the bottom one.

"Tear off the last sheet and copy the text on it. That way the rest of the stack won't leave any marks."

Meng Fei held those post-it notes in his hand.

"So it's like the sticky notes are new and no one has ever used them.

"But because I had that doubt, I counted the number of sheets left in each post-it..."

"Have you counted every one?"

Number 7 asked in a little surprise.
