Day of Imprisonment

Facing Luo Xi's sudden question, the Dragon King was visibly surprised.

It looked up at Luo Xi, thought for a moment, and then slowly said, "Heh, if you say it is, then it is; if you say it isn't, then it isn't."

"You seem to know me?" Luo Xi asked again.

This Dragon King's attitude towards him had been problematic from the start.

Although he didn't know how the other party treated other people, Luo Xi noticed that since he had arrived here, this guy hadn't rung the bell once.

If the bell wasn't rung, even if more people entered the Sunshine Internet Cafe and clicked on the game to enter here, it would be difficult to find the way.

Because the road signs only appeared when the bell rang.

"I know all the Memory Retrievers, including you," the Dragon King's answer was strange.

A bit deliberate.

But there was no obvious fault to be found.

It could even be understood as the other party lying, or using a lie to cover up the truth.

"Start announcing," the Dragon King urged at this moment.

The card Luo Xi drew was 'Fire'.

The relationship of mutual conquest was 'Fire conquers Metal' and 'Water conquers Fire'. The other party was the second to draw a card, which meant that after the 'Fire' card had been drawn, the probability of drawing 'Metal' and 'Water' was one in two.

Fifty-fifty.

And within this fifty percent probability, there was also a fifty percent chance of conquering or being conquered.

If he could announce a 'draw', then the probability of guessing the correct result would be the highest. However, the Dragon King had made it very clear just now that he could only announce two options: 'I guess I can conquer you' and 'I guess I'll be conquered by you'.

In other words, the probability of betting on his own card winning was one in four, and the probability of betting on his own card losing was also one in four.

It all depended on what he chose.

But the problem was that this game also had another mechanism: even if he guessed the correct result, if the other party also guessed the same result, it would still be a draw, even if he guessed correctly.

Wait a minute!

Luo Xi suddenly glanced at Jia Chen.

"There's a loophole in this game!"

The Dragon King on the opposite side regained that relaxed feeling of half-closing his eyes, and no psychological activity could be seen from his expression.

"I announce that I guess I can conquer you!" Luo Xi said at this moment.

He stared at the Dragon King opposite, wanting to hear what the other party would announce.

He heard the Dragon King say, "I announce that I guess I'll be conquered by you!"

Luo Xi frowned: "As expected, this old rogue!"

The setting of a draw in the game was a loophole, a bug.

Because if one party completely announced according to the other party's 'announcement', then all the matches would be draws.

Both sides revealed their cards.

Luo Xi had 'Fire', and the Dragon King had 'Water'.

They both guessed wrong.

Draw!

Put the cards back and start the second round.

Luo Xi was still staring at the Dragon King, but the other party didn't make eye contact with Luo Xi. Apart from drawing cards, he was just looking at his nose with his eyes, his mouth with his nose, and his heart with his mouth... Completely at ease!

Of course, generally speaking, no one would always choose this way. After all, the purpose of the game was still to 'win'.

He wanted to enter the Evergaze Supermarket, and the Dragon King could only eat people if he won.

It seemed that they each got what they needed, and they both had a 'reason' to want to win.

But what if this 'reason' was false?

What if the other party's purpose from the beginning was not to eat people, but to hold him back?

Then the loophole in this game could perfectly achieve the other party's purpose.

So, the other party deliberately designed a game with loopholes just to hold him back?

Luo Xi felt that this matter was ridiculous and unreasonable.

Of course, all of this was just Luo Xi's guess so far. Whether it was true or not remained to be seen.

So this time, after drawing the card, Luo Xi said, "It's your turn to announce."

The premise of the previous 'loophole' was that the other party chose a guess that was different from his own, which would create an eternal 'draw'. Therefore, the other party had to be the one to choose second.

So this time, let this Jia Chen Dragon King choose first.

"You go first," the Dragon King shook his head.

This action almost confirmed the previous guess that the other party was using loopholes to delay time.

Luo Xi didn't say much, he made his choice again.

"I announce that I guess I can conquer you!"

This conclusion was still based on a judgment made according to the actual situation.

The Dragon King almost unthinkingly said, "I announce that I guess I'll be conquered by you!"

The other party's behavior in the second round had almost confirmed the previous guess, that is, no matter which one Luo Xi announced, the other party would choose the other one. In this way, no matter who could conquer whom with the actual hand, or if no one could conquer anyone, it would be the same result.

Draw!

Luo Xi smiled.

Two consecutive draws. Next was the third round of drawing cards.

Each drew their cards.

However, no matter how Luo Xi probed, the Dragon King's response was the same. No matter what Luo Xi chose, he would choose the other one.

It was the same for several rounds in a row.

A normal person's mentality would inevitably change at this time, especially as a Memory Retriever. It was impossible to waste time here without any bottom line. The desire to break the situation would only become stronger and stronger.

And the key to breaking the situation was only one.

It was to have the Dragon King announce the result first, and then make the same choice on my side.

Tit for tat!

"This time, you announce first," Luo Xi said.

It wasn't a suggestion, but an order, carrying a tone of anger and not allowing the other party to object.

"Alright, I'll announce first this time." The Dragon King glanced at its own hand, then said, "I guess I can beat you!"

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

This time, the card Luo Xi drew was 'Earth'.

If he wanted to break the continuous tie, he could only choose to announce, 'I guess I can beat you!'

That way, the tie would definitely be broken.

For someone who had already determined that the other party was stalling for time, choosing the same 'declaration' as the other party had almost become a kind of habitual impulse, and this choice must be passive.

It was because the other party chose it, and in order to avoid a tie, he 'passively' chose it.

"This is the result the Dragon King wants. The previous methods were just a strategy formulated to win, a smokescreen." Although Luo Xi understood the other party's intention, there was nothing he could do. The gatekeeper was this old dragon.

To put it bluntly, it was cheating, using the Pickers' mentality of being in a hurry to design a game, disrupting the opponent's mentality, making it impossible to make judgments according to the actual situation, and only passively choosing according to its choice.

It was like leading the opponent by the nose.

The final result was already very obvious.

"No, if it's just like this, it's not enough. This guy has other tricks." Luo Xi narrowed his eyes and stared at the Dragon King opposite.

"The choice of any game is not arbitrary. As the saying goes, the level scene is designed by 'people'. Everything here, even a flower, a grass, a scene, and an object, is specially arranged. To observe this world from the perspective of a player, the most important point is that as long as it is designed by humans, then the so-called 'fairness' must be relative, not absolute."

Luo Xi did not 'announce' immediately, which obviously made the Dragon King on the opposite side a little dissatisfied.

"What are you thinking about? It's your turn to announce. It's a simple choice between two, what's there to think about?" The Dragon King urged.

"Sorry!" Luo Xi smiled: "I announce, I guess I'll be beaten by you!"

Hearing this, the Dragon King on the opposite side was a little surprised.

Although he returned to normal in just an instant, this trace of abnormality was still keenly captured by Luo Xi.

The result of this choice was that no matter what the outcome, the two would tie.

Sure enough, in the opening stage, Luo Xi was 'Earth', and the Dragon King's card was 'Wood'.

Wood overcomes Earth!

If Luo Xi had chosen to announce 'I guess I can beat you' according to the mentality of having to determine the winner, he would have lost this round.

"Continue!" Luo Xi's momentum at this time was completely different from before.

It was like he was starting to genuinely enjoy this game duel.

Drawing cards again, this time Luo Xi didn't choose to shuffle the cards again, but still let the Dragon King announce first.

"I guess I can beat you!"

The Dragon King didn't act coy either, like a habitual recitation, as if this guess was not thought through the brain at all, just said casually.

"Can your card really beat me?" Luo Xi asked at this time.

"What?" The Dragon King was stunned.

"I'm asking, do you think your card can really beat me?" Luo Xi repeated the question.

"Hehe, are you trying to test me?" The Dragon King reacted.

"Yes, the rules don't prohibit testing, so I think this is also a strategy that can be used," Luo Xi admitted readily.

The Dragon King's smile immediately froze, and then he said, "My choice is my thought."

The other party was playing Tai Chi, actually not answering Luo Xi's question directly at all.

Yes, or no.

"I don't believe it!" Luo Xi shook his head: "So I announce, I guess I can beat you, open the cards!"

This was the first time that a 'tie' would definitely not occur.

Tit for tat, no matter what the result, someone would win and someone would lose.

After speaking, Luo Xi revealed his card. This time, he drew 'Water'. As for the Dragon King, he could only show his card, which was a 'Fire'.

Water overcomes Fire!

Luo Xi's announcement was correct, and the Dragon King's announcement was wrong.

Luo Xi won a round.

It was considered breaking the previous situation of multiple ties.

Continue shuffling the cards.

"Jiachen Dragon King, are you scared?" Luo Xi continued to ask at this time.

The Dragon King sneered, but did not answer.

"You don't answer my question directly, either because you disdain it, or because you know that if you answer, it will allow me to find out something. The latter possibility is greater, because I didn't feel your kind of aloofness. On the contrary, since seeing me, every action of yours has been cautious, and every sentence you have said has been carefully considered, so you do know me."

At this moment, the Dragon King didn't even sneer anymore, completely silent, not saying a word.

"Silence is also an answer, I understand, then let's end this game quickly."

Luo Xi continued to draw cards, but this time, the Jiachen Dragon King didn't draw. At this time, it suddenly let out a long sigh, and then put the cards aside.

"I admit defeat!"
