1608 The solution to zero-sum games is not to play
Uichi Liu's words lasted for half a minute. There was still only the sound of the TV series in the camping cabin, echoing faintly in the dead silent living room. The light on the screen flickered on and off, infecting the dark night outside the window like waves.
"Okay,"
He looked away from the two people on the sofa, opened his palms, and revealed a green and curved little thing like a pea shoot: "Then I'll start."
Abi closed her eyes tightly again and tightly grasped the edge of the chair with her hands.
"etc!"
Cuining on the sofa suddenly called out: "Don't worry, we can talk."
"You talk so much, it must be because you don't want to change - deformed, right?" Pence also spoke, but paused, as if he still hesitated about the concept of "transformation". The two people occupying the bodies on the sofa
Players have never heard of Yaichi Liu's story, and this is probably the first time they've heard about infection and deformation.
"...Christel is back?" Ichiliu looked around the room.
The two people on the sofa were half lying on the sofa with their heads and necks intertwined and their backs leaning against each other. When they were quiet, they looked very ridiculous; but when they talked, the scene felt weird again.
Cuining's neck was tied tightly, her voice was hoarse and shrill, and her eyes were still looking at the ceiling: "How do you know?"
Yaichiyanagi didn't know. Knowing meant certainty, but he was just guessing: first, it was almost time; second, the two people who had never heard the story seemed to have accepted his statement completely, and only "Abi" could explain and persuade him.
, it’s too fast.
"Sorry, how can we ensure that 'Abi' and Crystal didn't take the opportunity to whisper to us during the negotiation between the two parties?" He continued without explanation: "I will not stop talking to you until you prove this to me.
of."
"But we don't know how to prove it," Cuining said again, as if her player status was slightly higher. "The driver dungeon has just appeared. We are all the first batch of players, and we are not familiar with it..."
"I have a way." Wu Yiliu interrupted her.
Cuining fell silent. After a few seconds, she asked: "What can I do? How could you do it?"
The method is not complicated. Wu Yiliu has already returned the [Priest Roman Collar] to Abi; like many special items, this item cannot be used continuously by the same person, but if Abi is replaced as a priest and activated on "Abi",
Then it can avoid restrictions on times, targets, etc., and take effect again - although it is only once, the effect is only ten minutes.
However, for at least ten minutes, "Abi" will do his best to monitor the movements of other players for the two of them at Abi's request. Abi has prepared paper and pen on hand. If there is any abnormality, the devout believer "Abi"
" will ask her to write down the situation through a whisper - this is because when everyone is talking, Abi may not be able to hear the whisper even if she listens attentively.
"It's really a turn of events," Abi could hardly help laughing. He touched a piece of white between his collar and said to the air: "Didn't you brainwash me just now? You didn't expect to be controlled by me now, did you?
?And you have to take the initiative to come in and be controlled."
Probably no one would have thought of it - not even Wu Yiliu himself. Just in case, he prepared another trick: he put women's shoes on Cuining's feet, and tied his and Abi's legs.
On the chair.
"What are you doing?" Cuining asked, seemingly unhappy.
"I hid needles in the knots. When we untied ourselves and the needles hurt, I would activate my binding items." In fact, he didn't have a needle at all, but the player couldn't see it anyway.
kind of small details.
"The four brainwashing items are all on Cuining and Peng Si. Once the situation evolves to the point where we are all deformed, the four of you will inevitably have to compete internally for their two chickens." He smiled and added: "That's right.
It’s my plan to divorce.”
"...Why don't you pause the TV first?" Cuining asked.
"No, I need to maintain pressure from the outside for you." Yaichi Liu replied very calmly: "It is different from your whispering brainwashing. If you focus on my voice, focus on our
In terms of dialogue, if you turn a deaf ear to the TV series, you will not be infected and deformed. It's fair, we are also bearing the same risk."
He didn't say the other purpose clearly, but the players themselves probably thought of it.
If the players want to bypass many obstacles and brainwash them during the conversation, their attention will inevitably shift from the conversation to "giving orders" - the orders given to the broilers during brainwashing. The content is simple and repeated, one tenth of the time.
The player's mind cannot be occupied. Once the player's attention wanders loosely, it is possible to listen to the content of the TV series. Of course, this may not happen 100% of the time, but even if there is a 1% possibility, Yachiyanagi will
There is no reason not to take advantage of it.
Unfortunately, it is impossible for people to be foolproof in all aspects all the time.
Yachiyanagi had made all the preparations, and now it was finally time to take the risk: just sitting in a chair and talking, he and Abi were already risking their lives.
"You said so much, don't you just want to gain leverage for yourself?" The person who controlled Pence said in a rough and rude tone: "What do you want?"
"It's not that we deliberately embarrass you," Cuining said slowly. "Now that the situation has evolved into this, we actually don't want to continue. We will quit if we can. But the dungeon has already started and is not under our control.
Unless it runs for a full cycle according to its program, it will not end. So I really don’t know what your plans are."
Indeed, dungeons generally do not allow players to exit on their own. If all players die, the dungeon should end; but they are not very lucky, and no one can kill people through sound.
"What punishment will you face if you lose?"
As a driven cock, Cuining also had a bit of anxiety and fear in her tone when she spoke. "I don't know," she replied, "The copy introduction didn't say it clearly. It didn't explain it, but it made people feel more...
…Worry."
This is understandable.
"Then let me satisfy my curiosity first." Yachiyanagi thought for a while and said: "I have been thinking that the effect produced by the copy is called 'brainwashing', which is very interesting. How do you do it when you brainwash?
?Give me a demonstration. I know it must be more than just repeated orders asking us to raise our fingers."
Abi glanced at him a little nervously. She had been keeping time and probably couldn't figure out why Yachiyanagi wanted to waste precious time on technical details.
"You know everything, why are you asking?" Pence asked provocatively.
"I need you to explain it to me." Wu Yiliu shrugged, feeling that his legs were tied a little numb. "It's not bad for you. Maybe you can brainwash me by the way, right?"
"If it comes from the target's mouth, it has no brainwashing effect." Cuining explained, and said to smooth things over: "You are right. Before giving the order and between giving the order, we need to repeatedly give the target
To instill messages... messages that are inconsistent with the facts."
Just like when he was brainwashed by whispers, even though it was around two o'clock in the afternoon, a night scene appeared in his field of vision for a moment, and it felt very natural. Yaichiyanagi did not go into details, but only said one word: "
oh?"
"For example, if you are sitting on a red chair, then I will repeatedly tell you that it is white. What you see in your eyes is obviously red, so your consciousness will naturally not believe me at first, then I will
Repeatedly saying that it is indeed white, you are dazzled and saw it wrong, the red color is from the setting sun outside, your eyes are bleeding, and for some reason you are unwilling to admit that it is white... all of this is because of your own mistakes.
It is done without realizing it. Over time, you will slowly believe me and feel that you are sitting on a white chair. The human brain is a very powerful thing. Once you believe it in your heart, you will not even believe the chair you see in your eyes.
They will all turn white."
Cuining said this and laughed softly. "To be honest, the dungeon has progressed to this point. The camping cabin in the eyes of the four targets is completely different from the cabin you saw for the first time.
Farewell."
Wu Yiliu suddenly got goosebumps.
"We can't see clearly what the camping house looks like, but the copy provides content for brainwashing, both concrete and abstract. We don't need to actually see the things to instill distorted information into you repeatedly." Cuining smiled.
Said, "I think you put the DVD player under the TV just now, right?"
Wu Yiliu held back and did not answer.
"You have forgotten, so you didn't find anything wrong with the place where you put the DVD player." Cuining said slowly: "Below the TV is the fireplace. It's a pity that there is no fire in the fireplace, otherwise your DVD player
It has long since been burned."
It took a lot of effort to not turn around and look at it - he knew very well that what he saw before was just a brick wall, and there might be no difference if he looked at it now.
"We can't see the fireplace, so we can't light a fire." He said calmly.
Indeed, after Cuining's reminder, he vaguely remembered that when he first came to the hut, there was indeed a fireplace here, and he had even lit a fire... However, he had just watched the TV for a long time without realizing that there was a person next to him.
fireplace.
What else is different? He can't believe his eyes anymore; they mistakenly think it is the real thing, and if the players take advantage of it, they will be in trouble.
"But what's the use of knowing this?" Cuining asked.
"I have an idea on how to end this dungeon." Yaichi Liu said slowly, "If both of us stand still, then as long as we wait patiently for a while, we can leave the dungeon one by one through teleportation. Neither of us will be able to do anything.
Any danger. What you need to do is to come up with a way to prove to me that the four of you agree with this plan and will not attack us again."
