In this seemingly complicated game, Occam's razor principle is working again and again - if Lin Sanjiu is to solve really difficult problems, she may not be able to do it; but she is very good at peeling off complex problems.
Find the simplest answer.
According to Lin Sanjiu's experience, the simplest one is often the truth.
"Why Heyuri couldn't hear her whistle", "Why Heyuri didn't notice Chidou walking out just now", "Why Heyuri didn't find the second office rented by Chidou nearby"... In fact, these are
The questions all have a common answer: because He Baihe is not near Qiandao's office at all.
Why aren't you and Lily near Chido's office? Didn't she say she was there?
Because she didn't know where Chido's office was, she had no way of determining whether she was near Chido's office.
The only person who knew the address of Qiandao Company was Bai Cong. She was led there by Bai Cong, who told her, "You are lying in wait here, Qiandao Company is not far away." She
Of course, there was no reason not to believe it; that's why she told Lin Sanjiu in the "Hongyan Family Letter" that she had arrived.
So, where is Bai Cong? Where did he take He Lily and why?
No, the next question that should really be asked is why Qiandao didn't look up when he heard a whistle from the ventilation fan above his head - a sound suddenly came from a place where it shouldn't have come from.
People's first subconscious reaction is to look at the sound, right? Especially for Qiandao, there is someone sneaking into his office, and he should figure out what's going on no matter what.
...The answer is simple, because Bai Cong cannot make his appearance exactly the same as his target.
Lin Sanjiu noticed this when he was pretending to be a search employee; although at a rough glance, Bai Cong looked similar to the real search employee, upon closer inspection, there was still a big difference in their facial features -
- "Qian Dao" didn't look up because he didn't want Lin Sanjiu to see that the face that should have belonged to Qian Dao now only had a roughly similar outline.
The real fatal question is, if Bai Cong is here, where is Qiandao?
This is a question that needs no answer.
All the thinking processes flashed through Lin Sanjiu's mind in the blink of an eye. When she realized the real situation, she also realized what she should do at the same time. She realized it too late.
, she should have done this when the five minutes were up, and now she might be defeated and eliminated from the game at any time——
"Attack!" She clutched the ventilation fan blades with one hand and whispered.
After what seemed like a blink of an eye and what seemed like an extremely long period of blankness, she heard the announcement sound coming from the game.
To be precise, there were two announcements that sounded at exactly the same time, completely overlapping each other, so buzzing for a while that people almost couldn't hear them clearly.
"Congratulations to Lin Sanjiu Company for successfully seizing the headquarters of Qiandao Company, and best wishes to Shang Qi."
"Congratulations to Qiandao Company for successfully occupying the headquarters of Linsanjiu Company, and best wishes to Shang Qi."
Next, two new announcements sounded at exactly the same time, almost completely overlapping.
"Lin Sanjiu Company is officially bankrupt, and we sincerely regret it. After the game, player Lin Sanjiu will accept the punishment for failure."
"Qiandao Company is officially bankrupt. I express my regret. After the game, player Qiandao will accept the punishment for failure."
The entire floor fell into a deathly silence that even cut off the breath. Messages from He Baihe kept floating on the "Hongyan Family Letter", and she didn't even bother to write the words, and kept sending a series of question marks:
"???????"
The announcement once again broke the newly solidified silence. This time, it had only four clear and simple words, which did not overlap with any other words - "The game is over."
Lin Sanjiu grabbed the "Hongyan Family Letter" and heard a slight rustling sound. When she lowered her head and looked down, she realized that her fingers holding the paper were trembling uncontrollably. She looked down through the ventilation fan.
At a glance, the man with the same black hair as Qian Dao was still standing motionless on the ground, as if he was completely stunned and didn't know how to understand the current situation.
She gritted her teeth, called out her metal fist, and knocked down the ventilation fan with one punch. She jumped down immediately, and when she landed on the floor, all the customers and employees in the room were shocked.
Disappeared - in the small office, only the man opposite who looked more specious than Chido was left.
The two words "Bai Cong." crawled out bit by bit from between Lin Sanjiu's teeth. If these two words had lives, a layer of their skin would have been scraped off when they crawled out.
The face that was 60 to 70% similar to Qian Dao turned pale in an instant. He slowly took two steps back towards the door and raised a hand: "Wait, I have no choice...I, I...
Now the game..."
"The game is over." Lin Sanjiu tilted her head towards him and said softly.
The game is over, which means that the three remaining people in the game together can't withstand Lin Sanjiu's attack. However, there seems to be a pair of eyes watching the progress of the game secretly, because just when she is about to pounce.
, when Bai Cong was caught, the announcement rang again: "The punishment for the loser begins now."
Just as her attention was distracted by the sound of the announcement, Bai Cong turned around and ran away through the door.
Although everyone has failed now and must accept punishment, it is obvious from Bai Cong's point of view that if they fall into the hands of the game organizer and are sent downstairs one by one, they can at least survive; if they are really killed by Lin Sanjiu
If caught, I'm afraid he won't even have the time left to run to the elevator - Lin Sanjiu was stunned, and he had already rushed out of the door. As he ran, he shouted angrily: "Qiandao, Qiandao! You fucking
I’ve already lost, please untie me now!”
Before he could finish his words, Lin Sanjiu also rushed out of the door.
Her mind was now a complete mess: He Baihe was about to be punished, but Lin Sanjiu didn't know where she was and how to find her; why Bai Cong turned against him at the moment of victory, but instead
Choosing to help Qian Dao, who had always had a problem with him, she also wanted to know. Will she be thrown down the sixtyth floor? How should she save He Lily?
Thoughts that were tangled up into knots were rushing through her mind, but they were not as strong as the impact on her body - just when she subconsciously rushed up after Bai Cong, the floor rebelled.
It was as if a wave of earthquake suddenly appeared in the sky, shaking only the sixtieth floor and shaking her feet; the floor hit from behind like a wave, lifting Lin Sanjiu off guard and almost knocking her down.
She was thrown into the air.
Lin Sanjiu hurriedly stretched out her arms and pressed her hands against the wall to maintain balance. As soon as she pressed her palms up, the wall suddenly shrank inward as if embarrassed. Her center of gravity, which she had managed to maintain, suddenly tilted and she staggered down.
go out.
"This is the direction of the floor-to-ceiling windows..." Teacher Yi murmured.
The subconscious realization at this time had no effect except causing her to fall into an even greater panic. The lights flickered on and off as the ceiling, walls and floor suddenly bent and stretched; Lin Sanjiu felt that her eyesight seemed to be unreliable.
, every object that she could hold on to with her hands was like a trap, pushing, pushing, and guiding her smoothly, causing her to fall out toward the sixtieth floor floor-to-ceiling window.
"Qiandao," Bai Cong ran to someone unknown. His voice was far away, but it was so shrill and deformed that it was hard to hear, "I beg you, please untie me quickly! If you don't untie me, I will be dead."
!Didn’t you say that you would unlock it for me as soon as the game is over?”
Untie what? Did Chido tie something up on him?
Lin Sanjiu was so dizzy that she couldn't even tell which end was up and which was down. She was like a ping-pong ball falling into a pipe, rolling down with a bang; she once
I felt like I could land on both feet, but when I was about to hit the gray surface, I realized that it was my shoulder blades that were "landing".
That large floor-to-ceiling window really appeared from under your feet.
Its appearance is almost like the wonderful scene in the movie where the sky clears after the rain - the layered, twisting and dark, telescopic and deformed cement space finally stops, and the vast sky that is about to usher in night suddenly opens up from under your feet, and every trace of it opens up.
The faint red color that was about to dissipate slanted and blended into the endless soft dark purple velvet night. The stars slid along the slanting horizon into the unknown abyss, and countless tall buildings and lights on the earth all lit up one by one.
At the moment when he involuntarily fell out of the window, Lin Sanjiu thought that in this world, every light that lights up might represent an ongoing game.
Just before she was about to smash through the glass and slide into the sky, she suddenly felt something tighten on her waist, and her momentum suddenly stopped. Once the momentum stopped, her sense of direction was completely disrupted and she was spinning.
The ground turned back to her mind, and in the dizzy and vague cognition, Lin Sanjiu realized: the distance between the floor-to-ceiling windows and the elevator was very close, her punishment was to be thrown out, while the punishment of the other three people was to be sent away by the elevator
Go downstairs - that is to say, the four of them will have to meet here sooner or later.
Lin Sanjiu lowered her head and saw that there was a string of large wavy petals around her waist, which tied her tightly. When she looked back along the rope composed of large petals, she found that the other end was being tied tightly to Lily.
Hold it tightly in your hand.
Although this girl was the first to lose, she was just unlucky. It does not mean she is stupid.
The elevator door opened in front of her, and she seemed to be being dragged into the elevator by an irresistible force. Lin Sanjiu also felt an irresistible force and was about to fall out of the window.
At this critical moment, —— and Lily used the big "petals" around their necks to form a rope, connecting the two of them together.
Lin Sanjiu's momentum of rushing out pulled He Baihe, and the force of dragging He Baihe into the elevator pulled Lin Sanjiu back.
"Hurry up and think of a solution," but this is not a long-term solution. He Baihe even had the veins on his forehead appear, and shouted to Lin Sanjiu: "Aren't you going to save us?"
Lin Sanjiu looked up and saw that Bai Cong and Qian Dao were not far away. Their faces were red and deformed, and they seemed to be trying their best not to be pulled into the elevator.
"Give me some time," she yelled, "I'll figure it out!"
