"Let me continue. (Baidu search)" Holmes said, he temporarily put down his pipe, looked at the table and said: "Presumption - Professor Moriarty is a retard."
His words gave all four players the illusion of "Am I hallucinating?"
Only Professor Moriarty himself remains unchanged.
"Nicety." Moriarty said calmly.
Holmes smiled, shrugged, and imitated Feng Bujue's tone before: "It doesn't cost anything to try."
The players had no idea what these two guys were up to, but the cards on the table still moved as expected. A card with the word "Presumption" printed on the back was moved to Holmes.
The great detective did not pick up the card, but turned it over on the table to reveal the pattern on the front.
On the card... there is a bomb drawn. It is the kind of black ball bomb that often appears in cartoons.
Holmes glanced at the card, then stood up, took a few steps back, and put some distance between himself and the table.
He began to fumble in his various pockets. When he touched the left pocket of his coat, his expression changed slightly, "Oh, it's over here." He said, and took out a piece slightly larger than an orange from that pocket.
black sphere bomb.
The appearance of the bomb was exactly the same as the one on the card, and its fuse was actually lit. And the moment it was taken out of the pocket, the fuse was about to burn out.
Bang——
Before the four players could realize what was happening, an explosion occurred. The three of them were stunned, while Feng Bujue had a smiling face...
The power of this bomb was average, only affecting a radius of about one meter. A spherical ball of black smoke enveloped Holmes's upper body and blocked everyone's sight.
Moriarty sat as steady as a rock, not even planning to look back.
After a while, the black smoke dissipated, and Holmes stood there unscathed. He patted the dust on his body, strode back to the table, picked up his pipe and said, "Gentlemen, please continue."
"Hey...what do you mean! Is the punishment you received just a blind eye?" Qiu Feng said unhappily.
"No, it was a real explosion." Holmes replied: "If I had stayed at the table, it would probably have affected everyone."
"Hmph... It's not a blindfold. It means they are very powerful in this space and punishment cannot cause them any harm." Honghu said.
"Yes." Holmes bit his pipe and nodded slightly.
"I'm sorry." The comptroller said, "It suddenly occurred to me that there is another key issue that you didn't explain." He looked at Moriarty and Holmes and said, "How to determine the winner of this game?"
Moriarty replied: "As long as any one of the four of you deduce the truth, you will win."
"And if the four of us are all killed before learning the truth, it will be a victory for their 'insiders'." Feng Bujue continued the professor's words and said to the Comptroller.
"Just understand. It's your turn." Moriarty looked at Feng Bujue and said.
"Since the round where the uninformed person enters the game, the default is a hint..." Feng Bujue put down the knife and sat forward: "From this round on, I have to declare that this is the 'language' before speaking out."
‘Ask’, ‘speculate’ or ‘presume’, right?”
"That's right," Moriarty replied.
"By the way," Feng Bujue added, "What will happen if I declare 'hint' again now?"
"Before the fifth round, your 'repeated declaration' will be considered invalid." Moriarty replied: "Your round will continue until you declare a valid option."
"Oh... Well, there is one more thing." Feng Bujue pointed to the table: "Reach out your hands and look through these unopened cards, or tear them up or destroy them..."
"It's just death." Holmes interrupted him in a leisurely tone.
Hearing this, Feng Bujue shook his head and kept writing for a while, then suddenly slapped the table and shouted: "Ask!"
"Just ask, why are you so surprised..." Hong Hu said.
"It's just that my heart is not good." Qiu Feng pointed to the hilt of the sword on his chest.
Feng Bujue ignored them and asked his own question: "What are the laws of this space?"
The words Brother Jue asked basically meant "Say it and let me win." He also knew that things would not be that simple. He was just giving it a try and paving the way for his teammates' rounds.
Sure enough, after he asked, none of the cards on the table were moved.
The professor promptly explained: "When you initiate a question, players from the other camp can choose to answer or not to answer."
Holmes continued: "If we choose not to answer, you will receive a penalty immunity."
Moriarty said: "And if we answer this question, the round table will begin to judge..." He paused for a second: "If the questioner himself can gain useful information from our answers, this inquiry
That is, it is regarded as valuable. Otherwise, it is a meaningless inquiry, and the questioner will be punished."
Holmes took another puff of cigarette while the professor was talking, and then he added: "In addition, you cannot ask the same question twice. You cannot change the wording to have the same meaning, otherwise you will also be punished."
Moriarty shrugged: "As for your question at the moment, of course we... won't answer it."
After he said these words, a card on the table with "Inquiry" on the back turned over on its own and moved to Feng Bujue. There was no pattern on the front of the card, but it was written in black and white - Exemption.
"Hey, hey, hey..." Qiu Feng couldn't help but interjected: "If you keep choosing not to answer, then after all the meaningful questions are asked, won't 'asking' be useless to us?" His question was also
What other players think.
"So, you'd better use the inquiry to obtain immunity as much as possible before you finish asking meaningful questions." Moriarty said.
Holmes also reminded us with a confident attitude: "You can also try to set a trap and ask us seemingly meaningless questions to trick us into telling us useful information." He smiled: "Don't worry about us lying.
, as long as you choose to answer, you must tell the truth."
"So...can you two share your speculations and assumptions before I choose the card?" Honghu asked.
". That is to put forward a hypothesis." Holmes responded: "If the content of the speculation is completely irrelevant to solving the truth, the speculator will directly draw the penalty card." He paused: "And reasonable and constructive speculation
, when you turn it over, there will be a white card. At this time, the professor and I must respond to your speculation...answer you 'right', 'wrong', or 'inaccurate'."
"That is to say a 'conclusion', and the round table will determine whether it is correct or not. If you say it right, you will get a white card, if you say it wrong... you will be punished enough to die." Moriarty added: "Of course, Holmes
He was punished just because the conclusion he said had nothing to do with the 'truth'. As you speculated before, the 'hints' of the uninformed person have no meaning, while the informed person can only say irrelevant things when 'inferring'
, or a wrong conclusion.”
After this explanation, the room fell into silence.
The four players are all thinking as fast as they can. They all know how serious the situation in front of them is.
The complexity and difficulty of this round table game were unprecedented. The two opponents they played with were god-level wise men, and were set to be nearly invincible in the script.
If you want to win, you have to use "language" to obtain enough information within a limited time and within the constraints of the rules. And use this to deduce the "truth", that is, a certain pattern hidden in this space.
"I...ask." Honghu didn't think for too long. He knew that time was precious. In this round, he would safely get an exemption card first.
The teammates also understood what he meant, because the autumn wind was already bleeding, so wasting time would probably mean attrition. And every time one person was reduced, the "uninformed person"'s activity round would be one less.
"Ask - Mr. Holmes. What was the reason why you were not killed just now?"
The wise general Honghu is indeed well-deserved. If you ask this question, you will definitely get immunity. Because the abilities of these two bosses are closely related to the laws of this space. This question cannot be answered.
"Ha...it's so gratifying." Holmes turned to Moriarty next to him and said: "Professor, the guests you invited today are really interesting..." He took a puff of his pipe and lit it with the handle.
He pointed in Honghu's direction: "For example, this person not only has superior intelligence, but also has unique observation and reasoning abilities."
Moriarty replied in a lukewarm tone: "Yeah, like that kid again." He cast his gaze on Feng Bujue: "He is very similar to you, he has an extremely sharp mind and is very organized.
, but extremely conceited, casual, and bohemian.”
"Answer, or not." Honghu urged. He didn't feel honored to be praised by two characters in the virtual game. He only knew that these two bosses would waste a certain amount of time looking around to talk to him.
"Hey! Don't worry." At this time, Qiu Feng actually intervened: "In the next 80 years, you will have to compliment me and the controller a few words. You just let them finish."
"Brother Qiufeng, you really don't know how to live or die..." The Chief of Staff flipped up his extremely chic hairstyle: "If you hadn't been impaled by a sword, we wouldn't have had to race against time."
"Hahahaha..." Qiu Feng couldn't help laughing again: "Don't talk to me, I can't stand seeing you like you are now."
"Uh-" Holmes turned his face and looked at Qiu Feng, who was sitting next to him, "It seems they are worried about this..." As he spoke, he raised his hand and moved his fingers.
Suddenly, the sword on Qiu Feng's chest screamed and fell backwards, floating in the air for two seconds before falling to the ground.
Qiu Feng reacted quickly and quickly pressed down on his wound. He opened the menu and observed it for more than a minute. Although the status he found was still there, the loss of survival points had stopped. It seemed that as long as he didn't let go, the blood would stop.
flow.
Moriarty glanced at Holmes and said, "Is this necessary?"
Holmes smiled and replied: "A hasty and uncertain opponent will make the game lose the fun it deserves."
"Hmph..." Moriarty sneered, looked at the players and said: "Everyone, you heard it, please think about it slowly, don't be anxious."
