Chapter 53 Black and White Buttons

Really?

For a moment, Wu You was also shaken. The system voice at the beginning said that each of them could not leave their position, otherwise there would be big problems.

But now...

If Zhong Yirou, who was calling for help, was real, he would not be able to hold on with her current physical strength.

If it weren't for Zhong Yirou, who was just a guise to lure them into action, if he left one step and everything was over, the three people inside might be in danger.

So far, the system has not announced that their mission has failed...

If you go to save me, if you are deceived, the fate of the seven people will probably be destroyed in his hands.

But if she doesn't go, if it's the real Zhong Yirou, she will definitely be dragged away and leave this block, which will be a failure.

Listening to Zhong Yirou's struggled cry for help, Wu You's mind became uncontrollably confused, and he could only force himself to calm down.

Nan Shan, who was standing beside him, tried to control his peach wood sword, but as soon as the peach wood sword flew up, it seemed to be blocked by something and could not continue moving forward.

"Wu You..."

Hearing Zhong Yirou's voice, Wu You almost felt sweaty on his back.

"Are you really Zhong Yirou?"

"Baked...grilled chicken...you have nothing to eat..."

Just as he heard this, he suddenly understood.

"I'm going to save her."

Josh's voice appeared in the corridor, "Are you sure?"

"I still remember such a bad thing until I die, but it could only be her."

Just as Wu You opened his mouth, the green square under his feet suddenly turned red, and alarm sounded in the room.

"Compression stops, power system failure."

The originally dark room was filled with a rich scarlet fog.

"Wu You, are you moving?" Joshi asked in a panic.

"No." Wu You answered him and shouted Zhong Yirou's name again, but received no response.

"It's trouble."

He decisively left the block where he was and ran towards Zhong Yirou, "Zhong Yirou, wait for me, I'm here."

He remembers that she is in the northwest corner.

Nanshan seemed to have moved its position, "Be careful, I've gone there too."

Hearing both of them move, Josh also shouted, "Wait for me! I'll come to you too if I move."

Through the dispersed red light mist, Wu You ran to the northwest corner. When he passed the southwest corner, he saw Josh who was also running forward.

But when he arrived, it was different from what he imagined.

Zhong Yirou is not here, it is empty.

Soon, he saw a golden light appearing at the corner to the right. Wu You immediately shouted Zhong Yirou's name to the other side, but what he got was Nan Shan's response.

"Come here, here!"

Why the northeast corner?

Wu You didn't think much about it, and rushed towards the position of the golden light with Qiao Xi. In the vast red fog, he saw the face exactly the same as An Wujiu, but he struggled in pain because he was trapped by the spell of Nanshan.

"It was indeed him who dragged Miss Zhong just now. Fortunately, he didn't have any weapons. Let's see how Miss Zhong is?" Nan Shan made seals with both hands to maintain the magic, but his face was very bad and it was quite difficult.

Wu You helped Zhong Yirou who had collapsed to the ground, "Hey, are you okay?"

Zhong Yirou still closed her eyes without any response. So he explored her breath.

Fortunately, nothing big happened.

"Nan Shan..." Josh pointed to the fake An Wujiu in the Golden Light Talisman array, "He seems to be about to disappear."

Wu You looked up and saw that the golden light of the talisman array was about to gradually disappear the outline of a02, and his painful expression gradually faded and almost disappeared.

However, Nanshan's physical strength was severely restricted by the game and ultimately could not support such a powerful magic. She knelt on her right knee.

A gust of wind broke out, and the talisman was removed one by one, and the a02 in front of him completely disappeared into the black fog.

"Is it really a ghost?" Josh helped Nanshan up, "Are you okay, Mr. Nanshan."

Nan Shan felt that his mouth was sealed, so he opened his mouth with difficulty, but it was difficult to make a sound. After a while, he nodded, "Yes."

"So a02 is really dead..." Josh murmured to himself.

"That's why, the No. 2 card will be replaced with a ghost card." Wu You thought for a while, "Is the hidden plot of this game the road to revenge for a02?"

Josh also began to guess the intention of the recurring a02, "Will everyone present kill a02? So he wanted to kill the corresponding person on the corresponding floor."

Wu You looked up at the top of the corridor and felt a little strange.

Is it possible that if the mission fails, only the people inside will have an accident?

Just as they thought of this, a strong light suddenly appeared in front of their eyes.

A large door in the middle wall was opened.

Originally, Wu You didn't plan to get close, but the sound of the magic rabbit appeared again.

"Lovely friends, what a pity, your mission failed.

In this way, your companions will be dead for a lifetime.”

Wu You's heart was hanging down heavily for a moment, and his fingertips began to feel numb.

"But..." The rabbit was too skilled in playing with people's hearts. He paused a little and laughed again, "You know, I am a very kind person, how can I bear to watch everyone lose their companions?"

"Walk into this door and you will get what you want."

This is clearly a bewitching.

Although they knew and knew very well, Wu You still helped Zhong Yirou walk towards the open door without hesitation.

"Wu You..." Qiao Xi was a little scared, "Will there be a fraud?"

"I can't just watch them in danger."

Wu You walked forward without stopping. The teenage boy was calm and courageous at such a rare age.

"Brother Wujiu was the first person who was willing to help me and keep me alive in the altar. Although he had the ingredients to use at that time, no one even wanted to use me before that.

Everyone ignores my existence, and no one cares even if I die.”

He didn't continue, the cold white light shone on the clean side face.

Finally, Wu You walked in directly.

Qiao Xi hesitated, and Nanshan thought it was normal.

At this time, I walked in without hesitation, but it was not like his style.

"Let's go in too." Nanshan whispered to Josh who was holding him.

"After all, we always have to find this level of paradise gate and go to the last level. Staying here will only be temporary safe. When we are together, the chances of winning are always greater, right?"

Josh didn't struggle for too long.

"I'm just a little scared." He responded softly. Despite this, Josh still supported him, walked forward step by step, and entered the door.

The moment they entered the room, the door slammed.

The rabbit's voice appeared again: "Wow, you are so kind, no one has come in without falling into the ground. There has never been such a situation before."

"More or less, there are always people who are deserters."

The four walls of the room seemed to be made of metal, with a cold luster. There were three identical enclosed metal boxes in front of them, each of which was the size of an elevator cabin.

Intuition tells Wu You that the three of them are here.

"What do you want us to do?" Wu You asked coldly.

The rabbit made a sharp laugh.

"At a young age, I'm so impatient.

This is not a good thing for your subsequent challenge.”

As they said that, four huge metal robotic arms appeared in front of them, directly grasping the four of them at an extremely fast speed. The metal knuckles were almost twice as thick as those of human arms, and they tightly clamped their waists and were completely unable to move.

Just as Wu You tried to struggle, the giant robot suddenly let go, his body suddenly fell, and finally fell heavily on a bed that was neither soft nor hard.

Operating bed.

Everyone's body was tied with straps, without any room for escape. More finer robotic arms appeared, with electrodes on the top, appearing in pairs, aiming at their temples and the top of their heads.

"It's actually very simple, I'm afraid you've guessed it.

Yes, your companions are now in these enclosed metal rooms. They are completing another challenge, and all you need to do is buy them time."

The rabbit smiled, "Are you very familiar? It's the same as what happened in the circus theater before, but you were in a hypnotic state at that time. Now, you will be extremely awake, more awake than ever."

As he said, the robotic arms with electrodes gradually approached, and the tips hit their scalp and temples.

"Because you will get unprecedented pain."

The rabbit laughed more and more crazy, "How lucky you have companions you trusted, so these pains can be divided into four parts. A fool came alone and had to bear all the pain.

I fainted from the pain and didn't wake up until the end of the game."

Although these electrodes have not been truly energized, they seem to have felt this great pain.

"There are seven rounds of challenges in the room, which means that you need to be electrocuted seven times in total. Friends, you can stretch out your right hand and touch the edge of the bed. Yes, there is a red button there.

When you feel that you can't bear it, you can also choose to press the button so that the electric shock you suffer will stop immediately, but accordingly...

In the room, the time left for them will stop."

"Press, or not, it depends on your choice."

The rabbit chuckled.

"Then, good luck."

In an instant, two blank bar charts appeared in front of Wu You's eyes. On one side was the pain level and on the other side were the accumulated seconds.

The two lines appeared in color at the same time.

The heart-wrenching pain pierced into his scalp through the electrodes, as if trying to gnaw and suck all his brain marrow. It hurt so much, unexpectedly painful.

His fingers clasped against the operating bed.

"Stand for a while..."

Wu You no longer knew whether he was talking to the other three or convincing him.

Every gap in the bone is filled with the pain of electric current breakdown.

"Wow, it's so awesome."

"It's time already."

Trapped in the closed metal room, An Wujiu quietly waited for the rabbit to announce the rules of the game.

Suddenly, he heard violent screams, one after another, not the same person.

"Who is this? Wu You and the others?"

The long-silent rabbit finally spoke: "Don't be so nervous, these kind angels will not die, they are just dedicating and sacrificing for your progress."

This description made An Wujiu feel disgusted.

It is like a sacrifice that forces young lives to make for the so-called "human future".

"What the hell are you going to do?"

"Wow, it seems that you have to use someone else's life to threaten you." The rabbit was very satisfied with An Wujiu's loss of calmness. "Don't worry, these poor companions are just enduring pain and buying time for you."

"In addition to you, the mixed-race woman who is colder than you, and the handsome guy with green eyes, are all locked in a completely sealed room, just like you. All three of you can hear the screams and begging for mercy from the outside due to pain, but they cannot hear any sounds from each other."

This is simply to destroy their ability to think calmly.

"This game... is actually very simple." The rabbit's voice hovered high above the sky, as if it was above cruelty and pain.

"I just want to ask you a small question: We want to edit genes to friends outside and even children in the entire shelter center. In short, it is to knock out genes that we think are harmful. Of course, you may think, whatever, this is just a game of the altar."

"No." The rabbit shattered their luck and fantasy lightly.

"Don't forget that your nerves have been connected to this game. Even if your companions are lucky enough to survive and become survivors, the knocked-out genes will block some small but very important brain nerves."

This is what rabbit meant at the beginning.

An Wujiu's heart became cold.

This game is built on their pain.

If you really lose, will you still pay more and more painful prices?

Amid the shrill crying, An Wujiu forced himself to calm down.

In this case, giving up thinking is the first step towards death.

"You just said...you want to do gene editing." His pronunciation focused on the word "want".

"Yes, I just want it because we need the opinions of the three of you. So, you just need to answer that I knock out, or not."

Just as the rabbit said this, a white box slowly appeared on the metal wall in front of An Wujiu. The transparent lid opened upwards, and there were two round buttons, one black and one white, with yes printed on it on the black, and the one white was no.

Below the button is a small LED screen, but it is now dark.

There was a small piece of wire exposed at the bottom edge of the box. An Wujiu guessed whether this would be in line with the source of their pain outside.

The rabbit continued, "I will ask you this question seven times in total. Each time, the majority of your results will decide whether to knock out or not. For example, in the first round, two of you chose to knock out and one chose the opposite side, then the result of this round is yes, and the minority obeys the majority, which is very fair."

An Wujiu didn't understand that if this was the case, everyone would definitely choose not to knock it out, and there was no reason to make a choice to hurt others.

"I know what you're thinking." Rabbit smiled, "Of course there won't be only these rules."

"Your answers are not only about their pain and peace, but also determine whether you can get out of here."

"Because there are three decision makers, yes or no options, the rules for unlocking the door are as follows:

a. If all three people choose the same result, whether they choose to knock out the gene or not, the player Yang Erci’s door lock will be unlocked.

b. If two people choose to knock out and one person chooses not to knock out, the player's careful door lock will be unlocked.

c. If one person chooses to knock out and two people choose not to knock out, you, An Wujiu, will have the opportunity to unlock the door."

The screams outside the door became more and more heartbreaking, making An Wujiu feel relieved.

"There were seven questions. What if one of the above situations was repeated?"

The rabbit said naturally: "Then let's open the lock again. If you have been in this situation several times, then keep opening the door with caution. If you repeat it once more, you will waste another chance to open the door."

"Not only that, even those who unlock the door lock can only be released after seven questions. Before that, you must stay here and answer my questions one by one."

"Seven times ask questions, you will get answers to seven decisions, knock out or not, so that the minority will obey the majority. If most of the results in seven times are yes, then I'm sorry."

The rabbit smiled strangely, "I can't hear each other's voices, I can't discuss them, nor can I see each other's faces, and I don't even know what answers the other party gave this round. I can only hear the miserable screams of my friends. Is it very lonely and helpless."

Their information about each other is isolated.

Because the information is not equal, it is impossible to know what kind of answer the other party will give in this round, whether it is yes or no, and there is no way to adjust your choices based on other people's strategies.

It is necessary to ensure that the door lock is opened, and it is also necessary to ensure that the final result of the seven rounds is no, otherwise the four people outside will suffer irreversible damage.

An Wujiu really wanted to know what Chen Ti was in his mood at this moment, and whether he was tortured like him.

The rabbit smiled and announced to them, "The people outside have used pain to collect the first round of thinking time for you. You know, human endurance is limited. If they are the same as those before, they may not be able to last until the seventh round."

A huge countdown appeared in front of An Wujiu.

"In 60 seconds, I'll tell me your choice."

An Wujiu closed his eyes and began to think from the perspective of others.

This is the first opportunity to answer. It should be easy to think that three people should choose no and choose no to knock out as much as possible. This choice can not only reach an agreement, unlock Yang Erci's door lock, but also strive to achieve the first [no knock out] result.

He believed that whether it was Chen Di or Yang Erci, he should be able to think of this.

The 60-second countdown is particularly short.

An Wujiu opened his eyes and made his own choice with 40 seconds left.

He pressed the white button with no written on it.

The countdown continued to walk for a few seconds until it was returned to zero, and the rabbit's voice did not appear again.

An Wujiu frowned unconsciously when he heard the applause.

It was actually applauding, as if it was watching a wonderful performance.

Soon, a cheerful electronic music appeared in the metal room, just like a system celebration sound that would appear after the game successfully passed a level.

The source of the sound is the box on the wall. The dark display screen on it lights up and a few characters appear.

[n,n,n]

"Congratulations, I reached a tacit agreement in the first round, and everyone chose not to knock out. I did what I said, and now I will unlock Yang Erci's door lock."

New words appeared scrolling on the box display.

[Player Yang Erci’s door lock has been unlocked!]

"It seems that you are all very kind people." The rabbit's voice was as sharp as if his fingernails were scratching the aluminum metal frame, which made people feel uncomfortable. "There are still six opportunities to answer, so please grasp it. Their destiny, and your own destiny, are all in this simple and not-for-nothing."

The screams that erupted from the unbearable pain penetrated the metal wall, and sounded like sharp claws, grasping An Wujiu's heart.

He could not imagine how extreme pain this was, which would make Wu You, who was good at patience and silence, make such a sound.

He is still an adult child.

"Wow, they saved 55 seconds for you again, it's so awesome." The rabbit's happiness was beyond words, "Come on, start the second round of answers."

The countdown begins again, and the numbers keep changing.

An Wujiu thinks quickly.

In the last round, he used the public answers that all three of them wanted, because this could get an unlocking opportunity and not knocking out.

But this time, there is no so-called public answer. If everyone chooses not to knock out again, three nos, the final result can only be to repeatedly unlock Yang Erci's door.

This way they waste an opportunity.

The best answer is that two do not knock out and one does not knock out. In this way, the majority will be the result of not knocking out, and it can also unlock his own door.

Or if two knockouts are knocked out, one will not knockout. Although the knockout result will be obtained, there are still five chances, which are enough to move back to the situation. As long as the three of them can unlock them all, the next few answers will definitely be three no, because freedom has been ensured.

So this time, as long as you don’t open Yang Erci’s door repeatedly, there will be a chance in everything.

If you want to not repeat, one person's choice must be different from the other two. And because of the punishment mechanism after the game, An Wujiu thought that they would naturally tend to the option of [not knocking out] because this is safe and correct.

If the other two choose no, they should choose yes so that they can not unlock the lock again.

No.

An Wujiu thought again that he could think of this, and others would definitely think that neither Shen Ti nor Yang Erci were so simple people. They must have guessed such a situation, and might consider choosing Yes and being the balancer.

But this may lead to the situation of the three candidates.

Choose no, choose not to knock out...

A voice kept appearing in my heart, as if trying to convince him.

What if the two of them also want to choose no to balance?

"There are five seconds left." Rabbit reminded with great kindness.

An Wujiu finally reached out his hand, pressed the black button, and chose yes.

Time returned to zero, and the rabbit smiled at him.

"Announce your results."

A cheerful and pleasant celebration sound still appeared, but the small screen gave a result that was not worth celebrating.

[yyy]

"You are really friends who have a tacit understanding. This time, they made the same choice, but they were knocked out of genes."

[Player Yang Erci’s door lock has been unlocked!]

"Two answers, and they ended up tied."

The rabbit paused and spoke softly in crying and pain.
Chapter completed!
