Mr. Reporter——In other words, what Merlin told Aiwass when they first met was not wrong.
This ceremony originally had two lines.
The closer you get to the top, the more you are separated from reality, and it is easier to investigate the story... and get higher scores.
But the closer to the bottom, the greater the winning rate.
Because in this case, the advantage of dying quickly is the greatest.
This ritual created by Weizhe is actually not difficult. The main difficulty is that it starts immediately after reading the rules, without giving any time for discussion and thinking.
At your own level, there is no need to conduct any investigation.
You just need to kill everyone immediately and then commit suicide...and then start investigating again on the next level. As long as you find there are corpses on the next level, you can immediately commit suicide and chase the promoted people on the same level. In this way, you will have "
First level” initiative.
Then just make sure that you are the first to die, and after committing suicide, make sure that there are no promotions on this level at all for the first time. Then you have found the zero level.
Therefore, the lower the person is, the more say they have.
Through this strategy, whoever reaches the zero level first will definitely win - not only will he win, but he can also eliminate anyone he wants.
"Because as long as the person who killed everyone in his birth layer successfully reaches and identifies the zero layer, then only he will know whether this is the zero layer, and everyone else's intelligence must be problematic. He only needs to find someone who is not there
If anyone in your team is killed by suspecting that he is Merlin, or by negotiating with them to descend together...then regardless of whether this person is Merlin or not, he will be directly judged as a loser."
Aiwass spoke word by word, the muzzle of the gun slowly pressed against the pure white temple.
Jacaranda's eyes became nervous, while Huo Yin closed his eyes and meditated, too lazy to speak.
Chunbai sighed: "Whether you believe it or not...I have never done such a thing."
"I didn't say you did such a thing, I'm sorry. But you did have the opportunity to do such a thing."
Seeing that Chunbai was not angry at all and could remain calm even in this situation, Aiwass's tone also became gentler: "After all, among all the people here, you have the lowest level."
"What about Merlin?"
Jacaranda couldn't help but ask: "Has this reporter already admitted that he is Merlin?"
Although she had just given evidence to reporters, she was quickly convinced by Fox and Pure White's logic.
The fox and pure white belong to two camps, and Merlin cannot play two people at the same time. Therefore, the logic they agree with at the same time is more reliable than the reporter's.
"In short, we can't kill him."
Aiwass said calmly: "Three situations. One is that this is the zero level, so you can't kill the reporter under any circumstances - if you do, I will kill Pure White.
"One is that this is not the zeroth floor, but the first floor. Excluding the lying reporters, the living silver comes from at least the fourth floor and above. Then Sherlock is on a certain floor in 567. He came down
Time will bring a lot of information, and Merlin will be squeezed away.
"And the worst possibility is that this is not the first or zero floor, but the second or third floor. Then there is at least one of my companions on the top and bottom floors, and the other is Topa. We might as well start
Wait here for the person from the top to bring in information before making a decision - he will be able to obtain the most information and pass through the most layers by investigating and collecting evidence alone.
"Daya, reporter, dancer - he must be one of these three. We might as well wait for him."
"——No need to wait."
At this moment, the reporter suddenly spoke.
His expression suddenly turned cold.
Cross your fingers vigorously and lean back naturally.
In a cold, arrogant and gentle voice, he said slowly: "If you want to ask anything, just ask, I'm here."
There is no doubt that the reporter at this time has become a "detective".
"How many levels did you descend?"
Aiwass asked.
"Third floor. On the first floor, I met Mr. Topa. He was playing the role of a dancer, very stupidly, and he was still investigating...but I didn't think he could find anything in his investigation. On the second floor, I saw
When we get to the couple, the supervisor’s body…the third floor is here.”
The detective said calmly: "However, I only descended three floors, but there are five people here...so I judge that I may have descended more than three floors.
"Looking at your current actions and the atmosphere at the table... I speculate that Merlin may have been using my body just now. Then he should have accompanied one of you, or several of you have descended several levels.
"But since there were three bodies on my second descent, and they were all present - why not let him tell me, am I right about the number?"
"Yes."
Huoyin slowly opened his eyes and replied: "These are the people I killed."
After a brief silence, Chunbai put away his sword. Aiwass thought for a while and slowly put away his gun.
"I am a fox."
He looked at the detective and confirmed: "If you are really a detective... tell me, what do you want to do most right now?"
"...Of course we need to find Miss Lulu first."
The detective showed a slightly disgusted expression: "My floor, then Mr. Topa's floor, then Mr. Living Silver's. Then there are the three of you."
As he spoke, he ordered Aiwass, Jacaranda, and Pure White: "You three cannot be Merlin, because this body has just been occupied by Merlin. That means that I am at least from the sixth level.
came down.
"In other words, if Miss Lulu is not on the seventh floor, she is on the first floor. I'm worried that if she is on the first floor, she will kill herself twice and be eliminated... So we'd better go down as soon as possible."
He said as if he realized something.
The detective glanced around, glanced at the cup on the table, and then looked at the gun in Aiwass' hand.
As if he thought of something, he paused slightly and looked at Aiwass calmly: "If they don't want to, then why don't we go down and take a look first."
Looking at the detective's gaze, Aiwass was silent for a while and then suddenly laughed.
His eyes slowly became brighter.
"Interesting... it's getting interesting."
He murmured lowly.
Seeing the detective like this, Aiwass realized that there was still an omission in his previous speculation - the "guaranteed victory" presupposed that Merlin was not present.
Merlin can disguise the NPC as a promoted person, making the zero level look like it is not the zero level, thereby tricking the opponent into continuing to dive. From this perspective, if this ceremony does not include Merlin, then it is simply unfair.
Because as long as the person on the first level chooses this strategy, his winning rate is extremely high. And how other people operate will not affect his winning rate.
Just like in the Diede Le game, removing the bottom bricks will affect the bricks above; but removing the bricks above will have no effect on the bricks below.
Would Weizhe make a ritual with such big loopholes?
Moreover, these seven people are almost all related to each other. And although there are nine seats on the first floor, the rooms are only room 206. If there are two more people, where will they live?
If the number of rooms has been changed, why hasn’t the seats been changed?
Based on the above considerations, Aiwass boldly came up with a possibility——
——From the very beginning, this was a seven-person ceremony. This is a ceremony venue specially designed for absence ceremonies.
Then nine seats is not too much, but a hint. In addition to the front desk, there should be another "presence" in this hotel.
In other words, there must be Merlin in this ceremony.
This ritual was originally performed with Merlin in the room!
So, who induced Aiwass to come up with this winning method?
——It’s still Merlin.
In this way, Aiwass understood why Merlin's acting skills were so poor before.
It's not so much that I'm letting off steam, it's more that I'm not acting well at all. Because that's not important at all.
It turned out that it was waiting for me.
"I'm thinking about a question now," Aiwass said slowly, "Are you...really a detective?"
"...What, you stupid fox? What kind of monster do you want to be?"
The detective frowned: "Do you think it's me or Merlin?"
"I don't know. I really can't tell."
Aiwass replied sincerely: "I don't know if this is the second test question Merlin gave me."
Even if the "must-win method" only "exists", it is entirely possible that they are on the zero floor now. As long as the pure white on the first floor removes this layer, they are now on the zero floor.
And as long as this is the zeroth floor, Aiwass can't do anything to the detective.
Otherwise Sherlock will be eliminated directly by him.
But if this is not the zero level, and Aiwass thinks it is the zero level, and therefore chooses to kill other people or not commit suicide himself, he will stop at this level and be eliminated.
This is the first level of the game.
The reporter who didn't look like Sherlock at all before suddenly became like Sherlock. If he followed his idea, then Aiwass should commit suicide with him now. In other words, the current "reporter" is persuading him again
Aiwass took action.
But here comes the problem...
——Is this really the Sherlock who befell the "reporter", rather than the Merlin who changed his tone and started playing the role seriously?
Are his words credible or not?
This is the second level of the game.
Now Aiwass has no place to escape. He has no place to collect evidence, and Pure White will not provide him with any more information.
Is or is not level zero.
To be or not to be Sherlock.
There are four possibilities in pairwise combinations.
——All of them are questions pointing to Aiwass. If you answer one of the two questions incorrectly, you will lose. If you answer all the questions correctly, you will win.
"It's more like gambling than reasoning...a quarter probability."
