Infinite weird games

Words can kill.

The first person Qisi killed with words was a girl named "Qi Xinyue", who was his cousin.

Sixteen-year-old Zis huddled in a box in the attic, listening to the hysterical quarrels outside the house, and pieced together the whole story of a girl who was bullied and hoped for help from her parents, but was scolded instead.

So when the girl burned him with a cigarette butt, he stared at the former's arm seriously and intently and said, "You are injured."

Perhaps because she finally found someone to talk to, the girl cried, feeling aggrieved and recounted her tragic experience.

Qisi put on an expression of understanding, listened patiently to her, and finally said to her: "I can help you make a murder plan that won't be discovered."

The girl was startled and shook her head repeatedly: "I can't do it...I can't kill..."

People who are accustomed to bullying the weak are often afraid of the strong. Perhaps it is precisely because they are filled with too much malice by the strong that they will fall in love with the weak even more.

Qisi wanted to vomit, but he laughed: "I heard that people turn into ghosts after death, and most people are afraid of ghosts."

The girl committed suicide half a year later, perhaps not directly because of a reminder. After all, the human container is fragile enough. After enough pain is contained, it will crack like glass that expands with heat and contracts with cold.

But the girl did change into an ominous red dress before her death, and caused quite a disaster after her death.

…

During the wedding banquet, Shang Qingbei heard the news of Xi'er's suicide and immediately knew what was going on with his inexplicably completed side mission.

In order to ruin Xi'er's happy event, there is nothing wrong with the logic of letting one of the groom and the bride die, but normal people wouldn't think about it this way, right?

What's more, the voice in the dream said that the reason for ruining the happy event was because Xi'er would die after getting married. From what he heard, it was obvious that he wanted to save Xi'er's life...

Thinking of the strange and multiple dreams, Shang Qingbei shuddered and subconsciously looked at Qisi, who was walking towards a place with few people.

The young man was facing the pale sunlight, his white shirt was illuminated brightly, the edges were blurred by the dim light like the outline of a ghost, and his scarlet eyes were as evil as evil spirits.

Not far away, Mrs. Xu stood there like a ghost, with no smile on her wrinkled face.

The groom's relatives swarmed up to him, wiping the corners of their eyes hypocritically, saying something to each other:

"Why did such a good girl die? Didn't Sister-in-law Xu promise us that nothing would happen if we couldn't tell her?"

"We, Alin, are not lucky. We have a good wife, and then we lose it..."

They complained, not feeling sad, but more like making excuses.

Mrs. Xu sneered: "I've been working as an old woman for so many years. How many times have I not arranged everything properly? This time I'm not being reasonable. I will definitely give you an explanation, but you don't want to get in trouble. I'll just treat you as an old woman." Bully!"

After all, she had accumulated prestige over the years. She calmed down the noisy townspeople with one word, then turned her head, hunched her back, and whispered something to the people around her.

The conversation was so low that it could not be heard even two steps away. Du Xiaoyu, who was standing nearby to join in the fun, saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he lowered his body and squeezed into the crowd, hoping to have a listen.

As soon as he raised his eyes, he met Mrs. Xu's warning eyes.

The eyes were as cold and sinister as a poisonous snake, leaving him no doubt that if he took another step forward, his fangs would pierce his throat.

Du Xiaoyu was not stupid. He figured it out in a few seconds. Nothing happened in the past decades. The bride died as soon as the players came. Mrs. Xu was 80% sure that it was the players.

Thinking along this line of thought, he suddenly remembered that in the early morning, Qisi seemed to have gone out alone and said a few words to Xi'er...

The townspeople gathered together and murmured to discuss countermeasures, while the players quietly gathered in the deserted alley.

They are all official players, and combined with the process of backward reasoning, it is easy to guess the beginning and end of the matter. The four of them looked at Qiss in unison, waiting for him to give an explanation.

"A red matter has turned into a waste, can we be considered as having dinner in advance?" Qisi made a joke that only he could understand.

Faced with the fearful looks of the players, he gave up the idea of ​​continuing to explain the fun behind the topic, and said calmly: "The time I went out in the morning, I gave Xi'er a blade, and I think she used that blade to commit suicide. of."

Of course you can continue to lie. Ziss can come up with countless reasonable explanations to remove himself, and he is confident that with his acting skills, everything from his expression to his behavior will be flawless - but it is not necessary.

The role of the team is not as great as imagined, and in many cases it becomes a hindrance.

Ziss decided it was time for him to prepare to leave the player group.

There are contradictions between clues and facts. The difficulty of solving this dungeon is probably not low, and there is no secret mechanism behind it.

The main mission is to rescue Xu Wen, but the information provided by Xu Wen is unreliable, and her location may not even be in Shuangxi Town.

Once players find it difficult to crack the world view and complete the main mission, they will most likely choose to trigger the guaranteed death toll mechanism.

In the second dungeon, Yang Yundong's fate was vivid in his mind, and Qisi didn't want to be the target of public criticism at all.

He truthfully stated what happened that morning and concluded in a humorous tone: "As for why she died so simply, it's probably because I talked to her and helped her figure it out."

Li Yao frowned: "Why are you doing this? Xi'er obviously didn't threaten us."

"In order to create chaos and disturb the original plot line." Qiss raised the corners of his lips and answered patiently:

"Didn't you notice? We have been passive from the time we entered the dungeon until now. The places we went were all arranged by Mrs. Xu, and the clues we knew were told to us by our mobile phones. Everything we did, saw and heard was in the dungeon. According to the arrangements and plans, if this continues, the best result will be NE clearance.”

"I have a bit of a perfectionist complex, and I really hate being arranged to get imperfect endings. So, I can only try my best to disrupt the layout of this dungeon and see if I can fish in troubled waters."

How to gain advantage in other people's layout? Very simple. Shuffle the cards, cause chaos, flip the board.

As long as the situation is chaotic enough, the information gap will no longer exist, and the amount of information obtained by players and NPCs will be equalized. In this way, there will be room for unfair games.

"Why did you lie to us this morning? You clearly said you were just asking for clues..." Liu Bingding's voice trembled a little, "You could have told the truth."

"Why should I tell the truth?" Qisi sighed softly, "If any of you have the heart of the Holy Mother bursting out and cause some trouble, it won't look good."

Of course, among the five people present, there was no Virgin who was unwilling to hurt even NPCs, but Zis's behavior of deceiving his teammates was still too deviant.

Shang Qingbei snorted: "You said before that we are a team. If you don't tell us anything, how can we trust that you won't hide key clues in the future? You kill others so naturally, now It’s Xi’er, who knows if you will harm us in the future?”

A typical slippery slope fallacy, but it makes sense in this situation.

Zeiss looked around at everyone: "Are any of you vegetarians?"

The answer is of course no. There was meat in the food for last night’s dinner, and no one ate less of it.

Zeiss continued talking to himself: "For the sake of appetite or nutritional balance, we kill animals; for a limited number of opportunities, we compete and squeeze out our opponents; in order to survive, we try our best to do whatever we can. Something that improves our chances of survival.”

"When there are enough interests, it is human nature to benefit oneself at the expense of others; there is no difference between you and me. But it is undeniable that in the short term we are a community of interests. It is harmful to me to hide clues and hurt you."

"Before something happens, no matter how upright you say it, it's a kind of hypocrisy. After all, survival and profit-seeking are things engraved in the genes of living creatures, aren't they?"

The players looked at each other.

Ziss's judgment and cognition are undoubtedly very consistent with the group portrait of massacre players, and his actions are indeed too careless.

But if he really massacred popular players, why would he tell the truth?

Li Yao murmured to herself: "But we are humans after all, not beasts."

Qiss was amused and tilted his head to look at her: "Why can't humans be beasts?"

There was a ray of scarlet in the young man's dark eyes that spread into a dull patch, which was dark and dark, and the smile failed to penetrate his eyes, leaving them with a hollow without any fluctuations.

Li Yao felt frightened for no reason and opened her mouth, wanting to say something else.

However, Qisi had already looked away and said calmly: "There is no point in discussing these at the moment. There are only two things we can do: first, explore the entire Shuangxi Town; second, wait for Xu Wen's call and message."

"I suggest that we split up and go back to Xi'er's house to see if we can find anything from Xi'er's room; the others go to the Temple of Happiness together."

No one had any objections to Chiss's arrangement. The Temple of Joy was obviously more dangerous, so there was nothing wrong with gathering more manpower.

"I'll go to Xi'er's house. I happen to have the skills in the stealth field, so I can avoid the townspeople and explore." Li Yao suggested according to the plan she had agreed with Qis before.

Liu Bingding then said: "I also went to Xi'er's house. I also have a similar skill."

Qisi looked at Li Yao and made an arrangement: "Let's go first. You can follow Mrs. Xu later and act according to the situation."

"Okay." Li Yao nodded in agreement.

Although she was still a little worried about Chiss's previous remarks, she still kindly reminded her: "The Feng Shui pattern of the Temple of Joy is very strange. I took a look inside when I passed by the temple gate earlier. The yin energy inside was very strong, raising ghosts and devouring themselves. It’s like fighting fire with fire to suppress something.”

Qisi nodded slightly: "I know, thank you."

The players parted ways at this point.

On the alleyway paved with bluestone slabs, Qisi silently led the way, while Du Xiaoyu and Shang Qingbei followed closely.

After walking for a while, Du Xiaoyu said in a hesitant voice: "Brother Qi, are those words you said true?"

Since he entered the dungeon, his first priority has been to hold Qiss' thigh, but now he is told that Qiss is a massacre player who believes in egoism. Are you kidding me?

"I do think so." Chiss said with a smile, "After all, you and I are not familiar with each other. Don't you think it's too false to promise in advance that you will sacrifice your life to save someone? It would be nice to lend a hand when you can help."

He didn't say the second half of the sentence. There is a high probability that he is not a helper, but a stumbling block or a culprit.

"But Brother Qi, didn't you say you wanted us to unite on the first day?" Du Xiaoyu asked.

Ziss said: "There is no conflict between unity and self-interest. This is a team dungeon. Unity can achieve the greatest benefits. What reason do I have to harm you?"

"In the prisoner's dilemma, as long as neither prisoner confesses, the best benefits will be achieved. However, unfortunately, when there is a chain of suspicion, individuals making rational choices often lead to collective irrationality. Based on this, I I hope that by opening up the conversation, we can dispel the doubts among us and allow us as a collective to make the most rational choice.”

It is easy to reach completely opposite conclusions when looking at the same thing from different angles. Even recognized facts and reasonable derivation processes may lead to completely false results under the deliberate guidance of thoughtful people - this is the essence of rhetoric.

Qisi lowered his eyes at the right time and sighed helplessly: "I thought I made my words clear enough, but I didn't expect that it had the opposite effect."

Du Xiaoyu had already been led by Qisi's logic. He was stunned for a while. At this moment, he quickly expressed his position: "Brother Qi, I believe you!"

He glared at Shang Qingbei and said disdainfully: "To put it simply, an NPC died. If it weren't for some people's nonsense and rhythm, what's the big deal?"

Shang Qingbei was inexplicably pointed out and quickly argued: "Qi Wen didn't say anything, how do I know what he thinks? It's hard not to doubt the things he did, right?"

As he said this, he couldn't help but mentally go through all the events after entering the dungeon, and found that Qiss did not seem to have done anything too extreme. Taking a closer look, his words and deeds were consistent.

But why did he find this young man suspicious and annoying?

…

The roads in the town twist and turn, and the houses with white walls and black tiles are arranged high and low on both sides. The uniform buildings give people the illusion of going in circles.

Ziss had been deliberately memorizing the route, so he knew the direction back. Having just finished fooling his temporary teammates, he was too lazy to say anything more and just walked forward.

White mist curled up from both sides unconsciously, connecting into a vast expanse of white, blurring the scenery and objects in front so that it was difficult to see clearly. Soon the whole person felt like he was sailing in a sea of ​​fog, his whole body was soaked in wet vapor, and even his breath became moist.

A sharp suona sound came from the distance, sad and plaintive, accompanied by a song with a very thin voice:

"Whose daughter is reckless and stupid, foolish and easy to have children."

"Whose family is in ruins and is a prodigal, but he is buying a bride with all his glory."

"The coffin was carried as a red sedan chair, and the sky was full of white clouds."

"But I hope that the husband and wife will live and die together, and their souls will be buried in the same mound on the same day."

The sound came from far to near, and reached my ears in a few breaths, playing and beating tirelessly.

Chiss remembered the achievements of the "Folk Song Collector", pulled out the recorder from the toolbar, and pressed the record button.

"Brother Qi, look, look over there..." Du Xiaoyu's voice sounded distantly behind him.

Qisi looked far into the distance and saw a huge black shadow driving slowly in the fog ahead, approaching and then moving away.

That's a coffin.

Double happiness, double happiness, one is wedding, the other is funeral. The wedding has been staged with great splendor, and now, the "funeral" is coming.

Qisi took a few quick steps and approached, standing half a step behind the coffin, and followed unhurriedly.

Some sounds came from the coffin, as light as a gnat, but one after another. They seemed to be small sobs, mixed with insubstantial calls for help.

"Help me... let me out..."

Qisi tilted his head and listened, suddenly wanting to open the coffin and see what was inside.

The coffin is for the dead, and the dead cannot speak, so what is the cry for help about? I really want to study it...

"Qi Wen, how about we open the coffin lid together and lie down in it?" Shang Qingbei's voice said in an encouraging tone.

Qisi touched his chin and thought about it. Two seconds later, he refused: "No, you didn't wash up yesterday, you're dirty."

"Lie in, we will never come out..." The voice was still persuading.

Qisi was a little upset by the noise and suddenly looked back.

Behind me, there was no one at all.
