7, three people become ghost seven

There were originally twelve people in the car.

One person violated the rules, leaving eleven people.

Now, one "ghost" is out, and there are ten people left.

The job of voting hasn't gotten any easier because of attrition.

Instead, the pace of advancement became difficult and slow.

After Jiang Fang calmed down, Wu Yukai, an irritable and talkative college student, started to make moves again.

Although he didn't dare to question others as arrogantly as before, he still hated the fat man for voting for him, so he bit the fat man and said that he was deliberately trying to harm himself and resolutely voted for him.

Fatty.

The second vote that Fatty received was cast by Zhao Guanglu.

He couldn't give any reason, but he just felt that Fatty had a sinister air about him.

These two votes are considered emotional votes.

It's certainly not convincing in any way, but it's enough to make those who are voted in panic.

Faced with such a situation, the fat man was still able to hold his own.

He leaned back on the chair with an expressionless expression and took out a cigarette. Since he didn't have a lighter, he just put the dry cigarette in his mouth.

The fat man bit his filter and said vaguely that he was an ordinary game programmer, working in a third-rate game company that was about to close down. He was thirty-four or five years old and had accomplished nothing.

He said coldly: "My wife and I divorced a long time ago, and my daughter is with me."

"Two days ago, she was at home and she was gone."

"You can surrender." He said nonchalantly, the fat on his face moving. "After you surrender, after I die, I will go see my daughter."

After what he said, the atmosphere in the car became even more depressing.

Zhao Guanglu, who was also divorced, even felt a bit of sympathetic regret after hearing his words.

...No one will ask for the third vote anymore.

Nan Zhou watched all this calmly and curiously.

In fact, even if Fatty didn't say this, people wouldn't vote for him easily.

The third vote is the death vote.

Normal people would not want to take this responsibility.

After experiencing what happened to Liu Xiao, no one became more decisive.

If the person who died opposite was really a ghost, they would not have any psychological burden.

Every player is a living person, and everyone has their own experiences.

Nanzhou talked about the art courses he taught.

Li Yinhang talked about the strange things he encountered during his wiring work.

The men and women sitting together verified each other's identities and jointly confirmed how the property owners in their community were not human beings.

Qin Yadong said that he was an ordinary civil servant, working nine to five, with no troubles in his life. The boss occasionally had sex, and he just wanted to live peacefully with his dead salary.

People who meet each other by chance talk about their lives vividly, each has his or her own hardships, and each has its own reasons.

...in order to survive.

Or to kill others and earn points.

The result of some discussion was that Nan Zhou got two votes.

These two votes were cast by the man and woman who got on the bus together and sat in the same row.

Their question was, how did Nan Zhou avoid the people who checked the car in the morning, and how did he get out from under the seat without alerting anyone?

Faced with such a result, Nan Zhou was not very nervous and did not even intend to explain.

Because this kind of problem is difficult to explain, maybe it will get darker and darker.

Attributing all this to "good luck" is much more reasonable than forcing an explanation.

Besides, Xie Yangyang, who was in the same group as them, was even more panicked than Nan Zhou now.

She only formed a temporary alliance with this man and woman, but she didn't want to play the role of deciding someone else's life or death.

Time passes by seconds.

The indescribable sense of urgency made everyone cast their votes one after another based on their feelings.

The fat man, who got two votes from Zhao Guanglu and Wu Yukai, cast his vote for Qin Yadong who was behind him.

Because he still insisted, when he got in the car, he didn't feel anyone behind him.

Qin Yadong shrugged helplessly and good-temperedly, accepted the vote, and gave the vote to Jiang Fang without even retaliating.

He explained: "Mr. Jiang, I'm just worried that... there will be situations where 'ghosts' deliberately identify teammates to gain everyone's trust."

Jiang Fang nodded in approval, turned the silver ring on his wrist, and said with a smile: "Mr. Qin is right, this will indeed happen."

Xie Yangyang was really unsure and chose to abstain.

Currently, the only ones with spare votes are Jiang Fang, Nan Zhou, and Li Yinhang.

There is less than three minutes left before reaching the next tunnel.

If you pass through the tunnel, this round of voting will be invalid.

On the human side, there will only be two rounds of voting opportunities left.

The probability of accurately picking out two "ghosts" out of ten people is really low.

...In order to ensure the survival of everyone in the end, it is difficult for them not to exclude several wrong options during the voting process.

Currently, those who have received two votes are Nan Zhou and Fatty, while Jiang Fang and Qin Yadong each receive one vote.

Excluding the abstention, there are still three votes that have not been cast.

People who have already voted will inevitably focus on these three people.

Even if it’s a trial and error, it’s okay.

These three people have the ability to reduce the probability of finding a "ghost" from two-tenths to two-ninths or even two-eighths.

Li Yinhang could feel everyone's slightly expectant gazes.

She didn't care about this, her fingers were tightly holding the edge of the seat, thinking, why did that person say that just now?

She wasn't sure whether her guess was correct, and while she was hesitating, suddenly, there was a soft sound of clothes scraping behind her as she stood up.

Nanzhou stood up and walked to the front row without squinting.

His leather shoes with a slight heel stepped on the ground, tap, tap, tap. The rhythm was very slow and he didn't sound anxious at all.

Nan Zhou just walked slowly to the front row in full view of everyone.

Li Yinhang watched helplessly as Nan Zhou sat down next to the person she had been secretly observing just now.

She stood up reflexively and stared at Nan Zhou.

Jiang Fang, who was sitting in the row in front of her, raised his head slightly, looked at Li Yinhang, and said with a smile: "Miss Li, did you think of something?"

No one noticed the little movement on their side.

Nan Zhou's behavior was so weird that all the attention was drawn there.

Nanzhou seemed to be unaware of his abnormal behavior. After sitting down, he deliberately straightened the edge of his wrinkled windbreaker before turning his face and asked: "Sir, what do you think is the biggest difference between human players and 'ghost' players?"

What is it?"

"..."

This question is too direct, and the effect is of course quite explosive.

The fat man's face trembled slightly as he was being questioned.

He looked at Nan Zhou and said in a bad tone: "Mr. Luo, what do you mean?"

Nanzhou seemed unable to hear the displeasure in Fatty's tone, and continued to ask: "What do you think is most important in order to play this game well?"

The fat man didn't throw himself into confusion and replied: "Of course I want to find the 'ghost'."

"No." Nanzhou said seriously, "It's about understanding the rules of the game."

As he said that, he turned back and looked at Liu Xiao, who was lying on the ground. The white pulp on the mushroom umbrella had turned into a gray-white semi-liquid substance.

Before Liu Xiao died, he tried to exchange his life by revealing the identities of two teammates.

However, in fact, he had no idea who his two teammates were.

People who are about to die are unwilling to give up even a little bit of hope.

At the critical moment of life and death, even if he didn't drag his two teammates to die together, he would not give up asking them for help.

But before he died, Liu Xiao looked at everyone with blank, hateful eyes that had no specific focus.

This confirms some of Nanzhou's conjectures.

Nanzhou had guessed this from the beginning of the game.

The mushroom told them many rules of the game.

But the most important thing Nan Zhou heard was——

"It's fair game."

What does fairness mean?

——For "ghost" players, the game is fair, and for human players, the game is also fair.

"So, the 'ghost' couldn't have been in the car from the beginning."

"This is unfair to the players. The 'ghosts' will have a lot of information in advance."

"Similarly, the 'ghost' won't know who his teammates are."

"The reason is as above, it is unfair to players."

"These three 'ghost' players should have been teleported to this car at a special time."

"No matter which side, no one knows who their companions are."

"People are looking for their companions, and so are the 'ghosts'."

After Nanzhou muttered to himself for a while, he looked at the fat man again: "So, this is how we can have fun."

The corners of the fat man's mouth twitched slightly, and the muscles in his cheeks were on the verge of losing control: "Mr. Luo..."

"My surname is not Luo, nor is my name Luo Yan."

Nanzhou said: "I saw this name from the missing person notice posted on the light box, so I used it."

After hearing this, for some reason, the fat man's expression suddenly changed, and he stood up suddenly, but Nan Zhou grabbed his stubby wrist.

He didn't seem to be using much force, but the fat man's face turned pale and his thick lips were trembling as he held him.

Nan Zhou was still looking forward. Under the fierce tugging of the fat man, he remained motionless and spoke calmly.

"Now, let me answer the question I just raised: What is the difference between 'ghost' players and human players?"

"The difference is that the human players who have been in the car for a long time will only focus on observing people."

Nan Zhou looked at the fat man: "Only the ghosts, since they are new here, will observe the surrounding environment more carefully than anyone else."

"So, 'ghosts' are most easily exposed at this time."
