Dong Xie took a bite of the meat in the can and thought: Here it comes!
He deliberately chose this book to ask questions for this purpose. With Yuan Ping's character of combining Hollywood movies and reality, it is likely that the plot of the suspense novel will be connected with the current mission of Scarlet Words.
.
It is very likely that the evil spirit does not know the existence of this book at all. At least, for the residents, this knowledge is likely to exist. Then, the residents should avoid talking about novels that are so similar to the current situation as topics.
, so as not to make the evil spirit suspicious. Moreover, Yuan Ping mentioned the author's name first, and Dong Xie mentioned it later, so there was much less deliberate element. Therefore, Dong Xie took advantage of the situation and mentioned this book. In the eyes of the evil spirit,
, if he is a resident, he should try his best to avoid mentioning this book to stimulate the evil spirits.
As for Yuan Ping, from the perspective of the evil spirit, it is more like he did not think of the similarities in the plot at first, and said it outright. After realizing that this was similar to the situation in the Scarlet Letter mission, in order to avoid irritation
I felt evil spirits, so I didn’t dare to say anything anymore.
"This..." Dong Xie said quickly: "It shouldn't be possible. After all, it is the plot of the novel."
"Well, also...also..."
"However," Lan Yu looked curious and asked, "The plot of this book is very strange. Why did you combine fourteen suspense novelists to write a novel? Spend so much effort kidnapping a bunch of people just for this purpose?"
Yuan Ping explained: "The ending will be explained, so I won't spoil it."
Then, Yuan Ping suddenly thought of something and said to Dong Xie: "Do you also like Ning Hangyi's books? He is not particularly well-known in China."
"Well, I've seen it. The main thing is that when the book "The Game Must Foul" was first published, the publicity stunt was quite big. What kind of IQ would it take to guess the mastermind? And then the author also promised... promised... what will happen?
Yes, I can’t remember clearly.”
Yuan Ping said: "Well, I remember that the author promised that whoever guesses the mastermind will personally fly to the city where the reader is, and seems to be sending signed books and mysterious gifts. Unfortunately, he later changed to writing science fiction novels."
"Well, it's a pity, but the suspense atmosphere of his novels is very good."
Dong Xie asked this deliberately just now, just to test whether he had really read the book. These publicity stunts just now were all written in the book.
Isn't Yuan Ping an evil spirit?
Whether the evil spirit has omniscience and omnipotence is a controversial issue for the residents. But at least for this scarlet task, the evil spirit should not be omniscient and omnipotent. Otherwise, Dong Xie will be seen through when he forges his identity. Even if
The evil spirit does not know the specific information of the resident, and will also know whether the identity he fabricated is true or false.
And if the evil spirit cannot be omniscient and omnipotent, it cannot be explained unless the evil spirit has actually read this book in the past. This book is not a popular novel. If the evil spirit was an islander of this island during his lifetime, he would obviously not be able to access the Internet in this place.
place, and unlikely to be read online.
However, Dong Xie will not give up his suspicion on Yuan Ping easily. Another possibility is that although he cannot be omniscient and omnipotent, the evil spirit can still learn any information as long as it does not involve the resident's forged identity information or the resident's real information.
.In fact, if Yuanping is an evil spirit, and evil spirits cannot be omniscient and omnipotent, it is definitely not a smart idea to specifically say that they are a "suspense novel club".
Dong Xie's suspicion of Yuan Ping decreased, and then he looked at Chen Siyu.
Chen Siyu claimed that he was a game programmer. But he had never heard of the game he was talking about. There is no Internet access on this island, so the game called "Fire Blue Empire" probably does not exist at all. Therefore, he
I plan to ask about the details of this game. If it is a fictional game, there may be inconsistencies. And to be honest, for non-professional game practitioners, it is not easy to say a game out of thin air.
easy.
However, the current topic is "suspense novels". To change to "games", the leap is a bit big, so we must be patient and guide slowly.
"Do you still read his science fiction novels now?" Dong Xie continued.
"I can still read it. The writing is pretty good. I actually really want to read the thriller novels he wrote. Maybe it's because of the policy. Novel involving ghosts can't be published."
"One of his later science fiction novels was called "Super Forbidden Game"," Dong Xie then started to expand the topic: "I think this one is actually better. Do you remember what the protagonist's superpower is?"
"Well, it's the ability to turn games into reality."
Yes, that’s it!
Dong Xie not only tested it, but also succeeded in getting the other party to say the word "game".
"Turn the game into reality?" Lan Yu thought for a while and said, "Turn the game characters and scenes into reality?"
"Yes, this is the protagonist's superpower."
Dong Xie continued: "I also thought this ability was very cool at the time, because I usually like to play games. If possible, I also hope that the games I play become real."
"Haha, who says it isn't? Oh, Chen Siyu, aren't you a game practitioner? If you were asked to make a game real, which one would you choose?"
"Then, it should be "Age of Empires"." Chen Siyu replied, "The "Fire Blue Empire" that I participated in the design drew lessons from "Age of Empires"."
Dong Xie didn't expect it to go so smoothly. With just a few words, Yuan Ping brought the topic to Chen Siyu. In this way, even if he asked about the details of the game, it wouldn't look like he was deliberately snooping for identity information.
"Is "Empire of Fire" a real-time strategy game like "Age of Empires"?"
When Dong Xie asked this sentence, he thought in his heart: If you are an evil spirit, I will see how you make it up.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to mention it more." However, Chen Siyu replied: "This game was relatively unsuccessful, and its sales...are also very poor."
Dong Xie couldn't help but think in his heart: If Chen Siyu is really an evil spirit, then maybe saying that "Fire Blue Empire" did not sell well from the beginning was to prevent anyone from asking about the specific details of the game.
As a result, his suspicion of Chen Siyu increased even more.
But judging from Chen Siyu's behavior, if he is an evil spirit, he is obviously a cunning enemy. His thinking is meticulous and clear, and it is not easy to expose his flaws. Even if he is not careful, he will be caught in turn.
He suspected.
Dong Xie chewed the food in his mouth and began to think about what he should do next. For now, it is better to stop it. If he continues to ask people around him for various information, it will look suspicious. In fact, even now, he
I also wonder if I talk a little too much. Although his words don't sound too problematic, if people around him don't intentionally ask for information about other people, he will appear a little "special".
Let’s stop here first, and then focus on observing Chen Siyu.
"Well, Chen Siyu," Lan Yu comforted Chen Siyu at this time: "You can definitely make a better game."
"I joined our company right after graduation. In fact, our company is not big, but I really appreciate our boss's concept of making games. This game is almost the last stand of the company, and we even got a loan from the bank."
Hearing this, Dong Xie suddenly felt that something was wrong.
If that's the case...why would a game company come to poach Chen Siyu?
"Has your company ever made a successful game?"
If there is no precedent for successful games, there is no reason for a company to poach Chen Siyu. In that case, the authenticity of his words will be even more doubtful. The reasonable explanation is that the evil spirit wanted to create a talented game programmer from the beginning.
character, but did not pay attention to logic when making up lies.
"Five years ago we developed a relatively popular game called "Sea Demon", and I was mainly responsible for that game."
However, this sentence did not dispel Dong Xie's suspicion of Chen Siyu at all. It seemed more like he was deliberately trying to make up for it. Five years ago, Chen Siyu should have designed a blockbuster game not long after graduating from college? Moreover,
Dong Xie has never heard of this game.
I'm afraid this was something he came up with on the spur of the moment, right?
He looked at the people around him to see their reactions.
