Infinite weird games

The system prompts and does not give players time to prepare.

As the two lines of text were refreshed, the surrounding scene collapsed in an instant. The walls of the room collapsed like dominoes and extended in all directions.

Only three of the original six rooms, 1, 3, and 5, were left. The remaining compartments were opened up and restructured into a winding corridor, which instantly became stable and decorated with colorful decorations.

The labyrinth rises from the ground. The walls with the texture of ancient Greek corridors are sporadically pasted with yellowed parchment pages. At a glance, you can vaguely see the twisted and snake-like text on them.

A little further away, there are several display racks protruding from the wall, with various card games placed on them.

"Hey, hey, hey? What's going on? Not long after we got up, we rushed the ducks to put on the shelves for fresh work. Didn't we agree not to make us too tired?" Dong Xiwen muttered with empty eyes, but did not get any response.

On the system interface, new rules are refreshed.

[Battle Royale Rules—Performance Version]

[1. This act is a battle royale session. The chasing party is the ghost transformed by the player's sin, and the fleeing party is the "player". 】

[2. Under normal circumstances, players will not be attacked by their corresponding ghosts; after the player dies, the corresponding ghosts will also disappear. 】

[3. The strength of players and ghosts will be embodied in numerical values. The ghost's strength is 2 and the player's strength is 1. 】

[4. After killing a player, the strength value increases by 2; after killing a ghost, the strength value remains unchanged. 】

[5. The killing method is to compare the strength value; the one with the higher strength value will definitely win the confrontation. 】

[6. There is no possibility for the ghosts in this act to unite, and players can attack each other. 】

Immediately afterwards, a cold time limit hung in the upper left corner of the line of sight:

[Preparation time 00:10:00, escape time 01:00:00]

Ten minutes to prepare and one hour to chase and escape. As long as you can survive for one hour, this scene will be over.

Dong Xiwen scanned it back and forth several times and couldn't help complaining: "Is this still a battle royale? Why does it feel like you are doing math problems? This scene has been going on since Black Jack. The test is basically the player's math level, right? "

"This is a game." Qisi stared at the words "Kill a Player", and a strange smile slowly appeared on the corners of his lips, "The solution is already contained in the rules, isn't it? Choose one person to kill. The other person makes his strength greater than that of the ghosts and kills all the ghosts quickly.”

He paused and lowered his voice very low: "Or, just kill everyone, so that the ghosts will disappear."

Dong Xiwen had a constipated look on his face, and he thought he was indeed a perverted murderer. His words were all about killing people, just like eating and drinking.

His mind turned around and his face turned ugly, because he suddenly realized that the plan mentioned by Zis seemed to be really feasible and efficient.

As long as you kill one person, you can easily survive this crisis called "Battle Royale" and let the other two people survive; in terms of quantity, it is a sure-fire business.

And if you really have to choose one person to kill, in terms of strength, he, a newcomer who has just entered the game, will not survive...

Hehui lowered his head and cautiously suggested: "Maybe we can communicate with our corresponding ghosts and ask them not to hurt other people..."

When she looked up, she saw Dong Xiwen and Qisi looking at her with caring eyes.

"The rules say that 'there is no possibility for ghosts to unite', which is actually a disguised explanation that ghosts cannot communicate." Qisi had a plan and was more patient than ever before, "In similar situations, anyone with a game mind will know that only by uniting can It’s the best way. I believe that the ghost I correspond to is not a fool, so why doesn’t he choose to unite with other ghosts?”

"If we are really determined to kill one person, so that the strength value of one of us reaches 3, it will be a disaster for those ghosts. Do you think they will not think of it?"

At this point, Dong Xiwen almost understood the nature of this game.

Zero-sum game and utilitarianism, this copy forces players to use the power of the group to kill individuals at all times.

In a life-and-death game, the total number of survivors is fixed, and those who survive will bear the original sin...

Dong Xiwen took a breath and said in a solemn voice: "No matter what, I think you should not choose to harm others until the last moment..."

Chiss turned his head and looked at him: "Then do you have any better method?"

Dong Xiwen was choked and racked his brains to think.

Then I heard Qissi sigh: "It's too early to think about this now. 'Battle Royale', as the name suggests, the most important part is the 'escape' part. Maybe as long as we spread out and run in three directions until the end of this scene Neither will be caught up by ghosts.”

There was a trace of imperceptible helplessness in the young man's calm voice, as if he had given up his original murder plan under the influence of the attitudes of his two teammates.

Dong Xiwen breathed a sigh of relief and responded: "Yes, no matter how you say killing, it is the last and helpless choice. Maybe you can encounter other solutions during the escape..."

Zeiss used some words to affect the mood of the two teammates. It was estimated that they were not aware of the key to the problem for the time being, so they began to look at the newly generated scene.

The stage lights were still dazzling, but no specific light source could be found. It was as if the entire world was constructed of light particles. Every corner was dazzlingly bright, with no shadows and nowhere to hide.

The originally not very vast environment was stretched to the limitless area, which was about the size of a playground, with three people standing in the center. From a distance, you can see the smooth walls and the neatly arranged doorways above.

The moment his eyes touched it, a large amount of non-narrative information poured into his mind, informing everyone of the intricacies of the inner route.

It is very suitable for playing a battle royale scenario. If you run fast enough and the steering is flexible enough, you may not be able to be found by the ghosts if you dodge randomly among these corridors.

The countdown in the upper left corner of the sight only has five minutes left. The warning that ghosts are about to appear is like the first drop of rain hanging in the dark clouds on a cloudy day, affecting the players' nerves all the time.

Qisi pursed his lips and said calmly: "Let's go separately, life or death depends on fate."

He clasped his hands behind his back, as if trying to suppress some impulse of his own.

Dong Xiwen knew that according to this veteran player's usual principles of dealing with things, he would most likely want to kill someone immediately and pass the level in a simpler way.

As an egoist, the most important thing is himself, so why did he give up that simple and crude plan under this situation?

Dong Xiwen couldn't understand, and his memory once again regurgitated the words the young man said to everyone in the second act——

"I've always hated the utilitarian rules that sacrifice one person to fulfill the majority. It's too boring and uneconomical."

Could these words be his true words?

He calmly explains his sins, but hates utilitarianism so much. Is it because he has been abandoned by others based on this set of rules?

Dong Xiwen felt that he knew the ultimate answer. In an instant, the character logic of the character "Zhou Ke" became self-consistent with him.

He looked at Qiss with a look of clear sympathy.

"You guys, please leave quickly. If you don't leave, when the ghosts come out, I will have to kill one person to break the situation." Qisi held on to his cold mask and urged him lukewarmly.

He Hui didn't dare to neglect, and quickly ran away in small steps. Dong Xiwen looked at him deeply without stopping.

Qisi stood there relaxedly, watching from a distance as the figures of the two became smaller and smaller, turning into two spots, one white and one blue, disappearing in the light and shadow.

Guessing that the two people didn't notice his movements, he shook his head, turned around and walked towards the door of Room 1.

After the scene changed, the entire space expanded several times from its original foundation, just like a sponge that was swollen and then expanded from the inside by foreign objects.

The door of Room 1, which was close at hand, was fifty meters away from Qisi. He walked leisurely for a while before he reached the door, turned the doorknob, and pushed in.

The moment he crossed the threshold, the countdown was cleared and a cold "ding" sound was heard.

【Battle Royale, Begin】

Blood-colored smoke steamed up from under the floor, slowly outlining a bloody figure starting from the ankle.

It was a young man wearing a red suit, standing sideways in the center of the room in the same relaxed posture as Qisi.

After seeing Qiss, he tilted his head and bared his white fangs: "Let me tell you in advance that I can't help you. The rules are above your head."

Qisi looked into the young man's eyes and asked seriously: "Then can you kill me?"

The young man in red was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and smiled: "First of all, let me remind you that the bargaining chip in the second act is useless in the third act and cannot withstand life; secondly, I will die if I kill you."

Qisi said "hmm": "So, what is your choice?"

An atmosphere of silence spread in the air, and there was some tacit subtext in it.

Two seconds later, the young man in red frowned, and his scarlet eyes lit up with eagerness: "Now? I have wanted to try peeling my own skin a long time ago..."

Qisi slightly curved the corners of his lips.

It must be said that this dungeon grasped his sins well, and he had indeed always wanted to try to make himself into a specimen.

A rustling sound came from outside the door suspiciously, getting closer and closer, mirrors emerged from the ground, each mirror reflected Qisi's figure, and the transparent arms stretched out from the mirror, stretching long.

A huge scale slowly rose above the venue to the sky, and stopped at a certain height, casting a dark cloud-like shadow and issuing waves of solemn interrogations.

Zis closed the door with his backhand, sat down with his back against the door, took out the character card from his pocket, and dug out the edges with his fingernails.

After picking at it for a while, he finally peeled off the thin layer of paper on the surface.

Under it, there is a completely different card.

[Character Card-Audience]

[Effect: "Alternate World"...]

The answer is clear.

Chiss smiled: "Is that really the case? As an audience, you should have the privilege of leaving the venue at any time."

Charlie said at the beginning that the players are both actors and audiences. However, the players gradually became lost in the voting and games one after another, and the identity of "actor" became deeper and deeper.

Including Zeiss.

It wasn't until Dong Xiwen claimed that the character card he got was an "audience" that he realized that there might be another mystery to the player's identity.

If the identities of the actors and the audience can overlap, there is no reason for the game to issue a single audience card to the player.

Unless...the two identities can be switched between each other, "audience" is also a viable option.

"Although I really want to chat with you for a few more words, I don't think your colleagues will give me this opportunity." Qisi held the audience card and leaned against the door, feeling the distinct impact and scratching on his back, smiling. Charming.

"——Then, please kill me now. I don't want to play this show with a predetermined ending!"

Hearing this, the young man in red showed a bloodthirsty smile, stretched out his bladed nails, hooked Qis's jaw, and penetrated it in the next second.

A normal person would have died long ago after suffering such an injury, but Qisi was stimulated by the pain and became more awake.

He lowered his eyes and saw that he was divided into two halves with the midline as the dividing line, and the flesh of each half hung down like a coat.

It was clearly an extremely painful feeling, but he smiled happily, and even his face turned rosy.

He laughed, watching the scene in front of him plunge into darkness like a stage curtain call, and at a certain moment, it was filled with the illumination brought by the fire.

Then... I could smell a burnt smell on the tip of my nose.

The surrounding scene changed, it was the burning theater that Zis had dreamed about on the first night. However, compared to the dream, the fire in this theater was not that serious. Except for one area where the fire was raging, there were only a few clusters of flames inlaid on the walls in other places, representing the afterglow of a fire that would never be extinguished.

"Zhou Ke, do you have this day? Do you think you can successfully pass the level if you kill me? You're dreaming!" Hansen's vicious voice sounded in his ears, mixed with a painful hiss.

Chiss blinked and saw a birdcage as tall as one person placed in the sea of ​​​​fire. Hansen, whose clothes had been burned off, was covering his vital parts and jumping around while glaring at him with a ferocious face and screaming for revenge. Jie sneered.

Qisi nodded in agreement and said seriously: "But I have clothes."

Hansen: "..."

Hansen: "Ahhhhhhhh!"

Qisi stopped paying attention to him, moved his eyes slightly, and saw that he was also locked in a birdcage of a similar shape, but there were no flames around it, and there were no other designs that could make him feel uncomfortable.

There is a row of birdcages next to him, two of them are empty, and there is another figure sitting with his knees in his arms, which is Cynthia.

Very good, it seems that everyone who died in the show will gather here.

Qisi is extremely lucky now that he did not kill all his teammates out of the habit of thinking in "Double Happiness Town".

Otherwise... when he gets out of the cage, he will probably be ganged up on by everyone and be shown his head in public...

Zeiss never had too many negative emotions about things that didn't happen.

He sat down cross-legged, narrowed his eyes and looked around at the two people he indirectly killed, and smiled sincerely: "You two, now that we have no conflict of interest, let's think about how to get out of this birdcage together."

…

On the other side, the play is still going on.

Dong Xiwen gritted his teeth and rushed left and right between the doorways of the corridor.

Mirror after mirror chased him, appearing from time to time on the road he passed, replacing a certain wall without warning, and stretching out its arms to him.

Although he was a newcomer and had no life-saving items, his physical fitness was good and he was able to avoid most of the attacks. There were a few arms that were unable to hide and trapped him, but he managed to break free with skillful strength.

He was panting, but he didn't dare to slow down at all. His sore legs seemed to no longer belong to him, so he continued to move forward just out of inertia.

After turning a corner, he heard He Hui's trembling voice: "Dong Xiwen, is it you? Kill me quickly..."
