Chapter 241 9 Occupations
Chapter 241 Nine People's Occupations
"This reasoning plot is actually very simple. Every participating player will draw lots to obtain a unique job name in this plot. Remember, this name is very important, and you must not let others know it."
"Because there is only one 'killer' in the profession. The killer can only kill people when he knows the 'profession' of others. In other words, once you reveal your 'profession', you may be killed by the 'killer'."
"Of course, in addition to 'killer', there are some other professions, such as 'detective', 'businessman', 'fortune teller', 'mute', 'law enforcer', 'liar', 'robber' and 'madman'. Each profession has a specific 'ability', but this is only known to the person who has drawn the specific profession. Friendly reminder, try to keep your ability secret, otherwise, you will probably be killed first."
"Oh, yes. If you are killed by the killer, you will really die, and this round of the cycle will end. In order to win the level, the killer needs to kill specific professions, 'law enforcer', 'detective' and 'fortune teller'. When the killer kills these three professions, the killer will win. Conversely, other people can win by finding the killer before he wins and letting the 'law enforcer' capture him. However, if they find the wrong person, the captured person will also be 'eliminated'. The eliminated person will also die!"
"These are the rules of the game, any questions?"
The centaur said, looking at the people here.
He just mentioned nine professions, and what’s interesting is that there are exactly nine people who can recall memories here.
"Wait a minute, there's a loophole in your game!" A Recollection Man said, "You said that the winning condition for the 'killer' is to kill the 'law enforcer', 'detective' and 'fortune teller'. But if one of these three professions is not killed by the killer, but is mistaken for the killer by others and eliminated by the 'law enforcer', does that count as a kill? If not, once two of these three professions are eliminated and the killer kills another one, does the killer win or not?"
This is indeed a 'loophole' in the rules of the game, but the Centaurs obviously already had the answer.
"The eliminated professions are also within the killer's 'killing' rules, so if you make a mistake and eliminate one of these three professions, it will be a bargain for the 'killer'."
"From this perspective, the advantages of being a 'killer' are too great. Also, if we want to arrest a suspect, do we need to vote together?"
"Not really. Arresting is a unique ability of 'law enforcers.' However, in order to make an arrest, law enforcers need the support of at least one other person, or it can be understood as a report. But the final decision on whether to make an arrest is up to the law enforcers."
"Wait a minute, doesn't this mean that, regardless of the names of the professions, 'law enforcers' and 'killers' are essentially the same thing, and both can 'kill' other professions?"
"Your understanding is correct, but the positions are still different. The law enforcers will only win if they catch the 'killer'. Moreover, if the law enforcers win, then everyone else except the 'killer' will also win."
"So, what's the reward for winning?" another memory-collector interrupted and asked.
The centaur glanced at the other party and said, "Regarding the reward, even if you didn't ask, I would have explained it in advance. The reward is fixed, but it is not divided by number of people. In other words, if the reward is 10 functional cards, then this is the reward for the winner. If there is only one winner, of course, the reward is exclusive; if there are many winners, then it will be divided equally."
"I understand!" The person who asked the question lowered his head, obviously there was no problem.
"Any more questions? If not, you can choose your profession. As for how to choose a profession, of course it's random. There are corresponding profession cards on the table next to the stairs over there. You decide who goes upstairs first. Just pick one before you go up. Oh, by the way, the entire game scene is on the second floor, so the game officially begins from the moment you go up to the second floor."
The centaur finished speaking, then stood by the stairs over there and said nothing more.
The nine people in the room each had their own ideas.
Soon someone walked over, took a look at the cards on the table, picked up one, and went up the stairs.
Where there is the first, there is the second.
Obviously, under normal circumstances, the one who chooses first will have a slight advantage, that is, he may draw the two most important professions, namely "killer" and "law enforcer".
Because these two professions are the only ones that dominate the game process.
They can both 'eliminate' other participants.
And if you think about it carefully, you will find that the gameplay of this game is not a fixed mode like the traditional "Werewolf" game.
There is no "discussion" here. Of course, you can discuss it, but everyone knows that rash discussion will only expose your own information.
You can form a team.
But again, the premise is to ensure that the other party is not a 'killer'.
In addition, the "professional" characteristics will be written on the card, and players must operate according to the professional characteristics.
It can be said that as long as the game is expanded a little, the way to play will definitely be diverse, and different people will come up with different things.
People are diverse and will make completely different choices based on their thinking, personality, experience and response to situations.
For example, at this moment, some people are anxious and want to take the lead in choosing a career and going upstairs to familiarize themselves with the environment, while others are calm and choose to wait and see.
Luo Xi belongs to the latter.
He was observing everyone, but unlike what he had encountered in other levels, this time, at least three people behaved very calmly like him. They were the kind of people whose personalities and behavior patterns were difficult to discern from their micro-expressions, movements, and behaviors.
It is not ruled out that some people deliberately pretend to be profound and steady, but there must be some people who are real masters.
At this moment, including Luo Xi, there were four other people who had not stepped forward.
Everyone is waiting and watching.
Luo Xi did not compete with them in patience. He took action, walked forward and picked up a card, but his eyes were always fixed on the centaur.
"Hello, what's your name?" Luo Xi suddenly asked.
The horse man also looked at Luo Xi: "You can call me Lao Ma, or Mr. Ma."
"Old Ma, please be more friendly. Old Ma, can I ask you a question? I hope to get an accurate answer." Luo Xi said. "Of course, as long as I can answer it." Old Ma nodded.
"May I ask why you would lie?" Luo Xi stared at Lao Ma, waiting for his answer.
Lao Ma was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and then said: "I need to think about this question. After the game is over, you can ask me for the answer. Of course, the premise is that you are still alive at that time."
Luo Xi nodded and walked up the stairs.
The stairs are very quaint.
In fact, the overall decoration of this place is very stylish and it looks very expensive at first glance.
The carpets, wallpapers and paintings hanging on the walls, the vases in the corners, some exquisite decorations that appear inadvertently next to them, and even the ceiling, all have special patterns and murals.
There is an advantage to this.
Sound insulation.
While going upstairs, Luo Xi checked the profession he had drawn.
Occupation: Robber
Ability: Beating others
Requirements: Before the game ends, you must rob the merchant and beat him. If you fail to complete the requirements, you will die after the game ends.
Seeing this, Luo Xi's expression was very strange.
Then he smiled, but almost the next second, he regained his composure, put away his occupation card, and went up to the second floor.
The lights on the second floor were dim, and there was an eerie silence. The few people who had come up earlier were all there. They had obviously agreed to gather here.
"Another one comes up."
"Hello, please don't be nervous. We won't ask you any questions, so you don't have to worry about exposing your profession." A man walked over and said, "According to probability theory, there is only one killer, which means that most of us are allies. If we are on guard against each other, it will be beneficial to the killer. I mean, you should understand what I mean, right?"
The other party was very friendly.
However, not everyone on the second floor was calm.
Some are very nervous, even a little uneasy.
"Wait a minute, I don't think it's a good idea for us to get together. You have already got your own profession cards, and you should know that every profession has some special abilities. The 'killer' must have it as well, so how exactly does he kill people? We know nothing about this. Maybe he just needs to see us to do it." The man who spoke looked to be in his forties or fifties, a little thin, with a lot of white hair, rough skin, and calluses on his hands.
You can tell at first glance that he is someone engaged in manual labor.
Can such a person become a senior among the memory collectors?
The possibility of acting is greater.
"No, such a setting completely loses fairness. It violates the principles of level scene design in Days of Confinement and is not allowed." Another person spoke up. This was a round-faced girl.
Wearing high school uniform, short hair, and glasses.
She was the second female among the nine people. There was another more mature one downstairs who had not come up yet.
There are five people on the second floor.
The young man with a friendly face and a strong leadership bearing, Luo Xi called him Friendly; the middle-aged man who was pretending to be scared seemed to be doing odd jobs for daily pay, so Luo Xi called him Odd Job Man; the girl with glasses was called High School Girl.
The other two remained silent, standing at a safe distance.
Luo Xi glanced at them. One of them ignored Luo Xi, as if he didn't care, while the other one had a displeased look on his face and was extremely alert.
Luo Xi also gave them code names: the dull man and the tense man!
Luo Xi himself is a 'robber', so is there a 'killer' among these five people?
Taking the profession of "robber" as a reference, a killer is likely to have "abilities" and "requirements". The ability is definitely to kill, but what are the specific methods? It is definitely not to do it directly, because that will be immediately seen by others, and once the "law enforcers" know about it, they can directly "arrest".
game over.
Therefore, the killer's method of killing must be covert and difficult to detect, but there must be some clues.
Whether you can observe these details at the first time is undoubtedly the key to victory.
But the key points of this game are definitely more than that.
