Day of Imprisonment

Luo Xi had no objections to engaging in a live-action CS competitive battle, and neither did Ke Lan.

The two people on the other side were clearly here for this, and they wouldn't refuse.

"Since you want to participate in the competitive mode, let me explain the rules. It's different from the level mode," the uniformed rabbit said. "The competitive mode is a competition between two teams in the same arena. Our live-action CS project has three scenes, which will appear randomly. Each team must have at least 2 members, but can also have more, as long as the number of players on both teams is the same to ensure fairness. The three scenes have three modes: the first is Deathmatch, where the two teams fight until one team is completely wiped out, and the surviving team wins; the second is Bomb Defusal, where roles are randomly assigned as terrorists and counter-terrorist elites. If the terrorists plant a bomb at the designated location and detonate it, they win even if the entire team is 'dead'. Conversely, if the bomb is defused, the counter-terrorist elite team wins immediately; the third is Level Mode, where the team that clears the level first wins, or if the opposing team is completely wiped out during the level, the other team wins."

"Note that all three scenes may not be played. Our rule is best two out of three. If one team wins two competitive matches in a row, then there's no need to play the third game."

"Since it's competitive mode, it naturally has its characteristics. First of all, in a single competitive match, 'death' doesn't really mean death, unless it's in the final round. If you die and your team loses, then the death is real. Otherwise, you will 'revive' before the next round starts."

"Another thing is that you can 'bet' before the competitive mode starts, but each Rememberer bets with me individually. Others won't know what you're betting on. In other words, if a member of Team A bets on Team B to win and bets big, they can choose not to tell anyone and deliberately lose the game, so that Team B wins, and they can still get the betting reward."

"One more thing, once someone bets, you can't withdraw from the competition. Understand?"

The uniformed rabbit explained the rules very seriously and in detail.

Ke Lan obviously knew this, so he didn't say much. Luo Xi heard it for the first time. He understood, but he was very surprised because this project scene in the game house could actually be played in such an exaggerated way.

Did the uniformed rabbit design this, or did that Dou Dou design it?

What a master!

Just this betting mode alone is quite a grasp of human nature.

And without a doubt, these rules seem very fair, but in reality, there are too many traps and routines hidden inside.

Luo Xi glanced at the two Rememberers on the other side.

Clearly, these two people also knew the rules of the competitive mode.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have suddenly come to play.

Luo Xi then looked at the uniformed rabbit: "I have a question."

"Ask away!" The uniformed rabbit said, "You can ask me anything you don't understand. This is my job."

"Okay!" Luo Xi nodded: "If you can bet, then there must be a 'bookmaker'."

"I am the bookmaker!" The uniformed rabbit nodded.

"Then can you bet?" Luo Xi continued to ask.

"Of course, otherwise, I would definitely lose money."

"Then will you influence the competitive process, interfere with the process, or affect fairness?"

"No, this is limited by the rules. You can rest assured."

"Then you will definitely lose money."

"Okay!"

"Then, the game scene is now officially switched to competitive mode. The two teams have now been grouped."

While the uniformed rabbit was speaking, the two Rememberers over there both revealed a sneer.

Luo Xi frowned.

Just at this moment, a few more people ran in from outside.

"Wait a minute, live-action CS in competitive mode isn't common. Let's join in."

This time, four people ran in.

Some of the four people were laughing, and some had unkind expressions in their eyes.

Instantly, Luo Xi understood what was going on.

Ke Lan was stunned and his expression changed immediately. He pulled Luo Xi aside: "Damn it, we've been tricked!"

"These four people must be with the previous two. They came in batches, first inducing us to participate in the competitive mode, and then running in to join the game. According to the rules, the number of people on both teams must be the same, so two of them will inevitably be assigned to our team. In this way, it will be difficult to control the outcome."

After speaking, Ke Lan blamed himself: "I should have thought of it. My mistake!"

Luo Xi then looked outside the game house. If you look outside, you can see that the opposite position can see most of the scene inside the game house. Of course, if you have binoculars, you can see it more clearly.

In other words, one or two of them should have been secretly observing all along. After discovering that he and Ke Lan were going to participate in live-action CS, they temporarily came up with a plan and ran in to join.

The purpose is very simple.

Start the competitive mode, and by entering in batches, let their own people infiltrate the opposing team.

In this way, it is equivalent to having an 'insider'.

Wanting to win two out of three competitive matches can be said to be a sure thing.

And because there is a mechanism of 'secret betting', whether it is the enemy team or the 'insider' mixed into their own team, as long as they bet on the right team, they can make a lot of money.

However, is it really just for the rewards after winning and the betting gains that they are doing this?

The winning reward is fixed, and what can they bet on?

"Luo Xi, why don't we just participate too." Wu Rui, Mao Ge, and Guo Zening walked over at this time.

They had also seen the situation here clearly just now.

Those two batches, a total of six people, were obviously intentional. In this way, when they are grouped with Luo Xi and Ke Lan, two insiders will inevitably be assigned.

Half of the four people in the team are enemy insiders. How can they fight this?

Luo Xi just thought for a moment and rejected the plan.

"No need, don't participate. I suspect that one of their goals is to get the three of you to participate as well. In this way, there will be six of them and five of us. The number of people will be unequal, and there may be other problems. For example, they may run in a third batch of people, and they will still be able to sneak in."

Luo Xi shook his head.

Another point is that the more people participate, the more people will theoretically bet.

Then, if you win, you will of course earn more.

What's more, Wu Rui, Mao Ge, and Guo Zening are not good at shooting. It seems that the word 'not good at' cannot be used. It should be said that they don't understand shooting at all.

Even if they join, they will only be three more burdens.

So Luo Xi didn't agree.

"Really no need?"

"Right."

"Okay, if anything happens, give me a wink in advance. I'm very good at sneak attacks." Wu Rui leaned over and said in a low voice at this time.

"The three of you be careful yourselves. They may have accomplices outside." Luo Xi reminded Wu Rui. He believed that she would understand what he meant. Sure enough, Wu Rui was stunned at first, then smiled and nodded to indicate that she understood.

Seeing Luo Xi preventing the other three from joining, the expressions of the people over there were unkind.

However, they soon sneered again.

It seemed that they had other plans.

"Divide and conquer?" Luo Xi also smiled. He had figured out the other party's plan just now: "If Wu Rui and the others join, the other party will still try to sneak in insiders, and then increase the bet. They can also legally 'rob' during the game. Even if they don't join, they may be even happier, because they think they are bound to win. They will kill me and Ke Lan in the game. In this way, the six of them will have an absolute advantage when they turn around to deal with Wu Rui and the other three. Either way, they will win. These people are quite interesting."

Luo Xi smiled very happily when he thought of this.
