Chapter 243 Questions and Answers
On the luxuriously decorated second floor, comfortable sofas support the body. Whether it is the exquisite wallpaper, the paintings above the head, the furniture and curtains that are obviously valuable at first glance, and the carpets, there is even a small table in front of the sofa, on which is placed brewed tea, coffee and milk, and next to it are sugar and various exquisite snacks.
If the person who was probably born in the Year of the Horse in Jiawu designed this scene, then it can be said that he was very thoughtful.
"Wait a minute, there is a problem." The strong man snorted coldly at this time.
"What's the problem?" Affinity asked.
"That's right, who the hell are you? Why should I listen to you?" The sturdy man challenged everyone with his next sentence, "Besides, I admit it, I am the killer."
"Are you a killer?" The friendliness was a little unclear. It was obvious that the burly man might be deliberately provoking him.
"Do you believe it?" the strong man asked.
Affinity advised seriously: "I don't know if you realize that what you just said may put you in great danger."
"You are hypocritical!" The burly man suddenly sneered.
"What?" When Affinity asked the question, he already knew that he had fallen into a trap.
"You said I was in danger because I said I was a killer, but this is a good thing for you. It can end the game quickly. So why did you show that expression as if you cared about me? So, if this isn't hypocrisy, what is it?"
"Will a killer take the initiative to admit that he is a killer?" The affinity is still neither hurried nor slow.
"Then I'm not a killer, I'm a law enforcer."
"Actually, you don't have to say anything for now. Besides, I do care about you because I said at the beginning that I'm not a 'killer'. So according to the camp, I am in the same group with the other seven people sitting here, including you. Since you and I are in the same camp, I care about you and don't want you to be killed too early. Is that wrong?" Affinity was a little helpless.
The sturdy man wanted to say something, but he suddenly realized something. His face changed immediately, he swallowed the words, and sat down angrily.
But you can see that the strong man is a little nervous.
"It doesn't matter. This is just normal communication. And communicating with each other is my original purpose." He is indeed very good at being approachable.
Luo Xi guessed that the other party already knew the strong man's "profession".
"Hey, some people take the initiative because they have the ability. Some people don't have that ability, so they should talk less. At least, wait for others to speak, right?"
At this time, someone next to him whispered something.
Luo Xi turned his head and took a look. It was the high school girl who was sitting on his right. It was obvious that she was talking to him.
"You have a point."
Agree.
The high school girl was very calm and she looked like one of the top students in the school.
The latter smiled and said nothing more, just looking at the others.
Likewise, everyone is observing each other.
"I can't influence other people's thoughts. I can only do what I can, such as finding a way to bring everyone together. I've mentioned the benefits of doing this before, and I'll repeat it now. All professions have corresponding abilities and limitations, or they can be understood as conditions that must be met. Everyone should understand this. And what is certain is that nine professions are here at the moment, including the 'killer'. He may be observing me, thinking about my profession, and then wondering whether he should be the first to kill me."
"What I'm going to say next may be a little extreme, but it's undeniable that this is the best solution for clearing the game. From now on, if someone gets up and leaves here, or refuses to continue the conversation, I will report them immediately. In this way, the 'law enforcers' among us can arrest them. Regardless of whether they are killers or not, they will be eliminated. In fact, elimination means death. I believe you all remember what Ma said."
"Wait a minute, you just reported it, how can you be sure that the law enforcement officers will listen to you?" the high school girl couldn't help but ask.
But she soon realized something.
"Unless you are the law enforcer, or you know who the law enforcer is and have reached a tacit understanding with the other party."
Affinity glanced at the high school girl and said, "Sorry, I won't answer your question. In addition, I want to announce a rule. You are not allowed to explore occupations other than 'killer', and you are not allowed to make speculations. Otherwise, I will report it."
"Okay." The high school girl nodded and didn't continue talking.
Affinity continued at this time: "Next, we need to do one thing. Each person asks the other eight people a question. Remember, this question cannot involve other professions, and the other eight people must give an answer. If someone does not comply, I will report it, and the law enforcers among us will 'arrest' the other person in the name of a killer."
“Then let’s ask and answer questions in order of seating, from left to right,” Affinity said, sitting back down.
At this moment, everyone looked around and saw that according to the order in which the sofas were arranged in groups of three, from left to right they were the sturdy man, the mature woman, the high school girl, Luo Xi, the hooked nose, the dull man, the tense man, the friendly man, and the odd-job man.
"Me first?" The sturdy man looked at it, thought for a while and said, "Then I'll ask. Since you're asking about the killer, then I'll ask. If I say I'm the killer, who will believe me?"
This guy feels like he has nothing to lose and is just going for it.
And there was a sense that he was deliberately putting himself in danger.
Being too obvious is deliberate.
"Let me answer first, in order!" the mature woman said, then glanced at the burly man with a smile: "I don't believe you are the killer, because I am the killer."
"." The person on the other end was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment. The others also had strange expressions.
It would be fine if the sturdy guy behaved strangely, but why did this mature aunt do the same?
Are they a couple?
"What's going on? Are killers so popular? Are they rushing to confess?" The high school girl was also stunned.
"Little sister, I've finished answering. It's your turn now." The mature woman glanced at the high school girl next to her. The latter thought about it very realistically and said to the burly man, "I don't think you are a killer. I've finished answering."
It's simple and direct.
Next it was Luo Xi's turn.
He was eating a small peach biscuit and said as he chewed, "I believe it!"
More direct and more concise!
The man with the hooked nose next to Luo Xi glanced at Luo Xi, then his eyes passed over the high school girl and looked at the burly man. He seemed to want to say something, but finally held back.
The strong man immediately said: "It's your turn."
The hook-nosed man shook his head and said nothing.
Affinity seemed to have sensed something, and said to the hooked nose: "Shaking your head means you don't believe it, right?"
Then the hook-nosed man nodded again.
"Okay, next person please answer." Affinity does not dwell on the fact that the other person did not speak.
The next one was the dull man. He looked up awkwardly, smiled, and shook his head.
"What's going on? Is this thing contagious? He shakes, and you shake too?" the sturdy man asked jokingly.
The dull man thought about it and began waving his hands.
But what he wanted to express was very easy to understand.
That is: I don’t need to shake my head, but I can wave my hand, right?
The other people looked at the hook-nosed man and the dull man with amusement. Obviously, if nothing unexpected happened, the profession of "mute" should be one of these two people.
Because anyone can see that the "mute" profession, as the name suggests, is most likely not allowed to speak, otherwise, how can one be called a mute?
There is only one 'mute', why are two people shaking their heads?
Could it be that someone is deliberately pretending to be mute?
"Hehe, strange things happen every day, and there are especially many today. Just now, someone was vying to be a killer, and now, someone is vying to be a mute. It's very interesting." Affinity said half-jokingly.
"Next person, please answer!" He looked at the tense man, the one who looked nervous from the beginning.
"I, I believe it!" the tense man said, and then kept silent. He lowered his head, looking up from time to time, and no one knew what he was thinking.
What comes behind him is affinity.
The latter shook his head: "I don't believe it, last one, please answer."
The last person was a part-time worker who looked like a migrant worker.
But at this moment, the other party had a sad look on his face, and it was obvious that he was worried about something.
"We all know that it's meaningless to believe it or not, and I don't know what's the point of you saying all this. If it's your opinion, why don't we each look for clues separately? The second floor is so big, isn't it a waste of time to stay in this tiny place?" The odd-job man acted very impatient, but when he saw that everyone else was looking at him, he could only curse: "I don't believe it, is that enough!"
"Well, the second person will start asking questions." Affinity doesn't seem to care about the other person's attitude.
The second round of questions was asked by the mature woman.
Although the other person was not young, she had a charming smile and was quite attractive. However, she asked a question that left everyone else dumbfounded.
"My question is, I am the killer, do you believe it?"
"Is this woman crazy?" Someone thought to himself, but soon realized something: "Wait a minute, she looks normal, but she deliberately said such things, could she be a 'crazy'?"
This 'madman' is a professional.
There is no doubt that there are many people who think so at this moment.
Luo Xi's expression was a little surprised.
The same expression also shows friendliness.
"It's too deliberate and too obvious. If she is a 'lunatic', doesn't she understand that this is almost a name tag? Isn't she afraid of being exposed and killed by the killer?"
"unless."
Luo Xi picked up another glass of milk and drank it: "Unless, the madman's ability allows her to reveal her identity without any scruples. In other words, even if others know that she is a madman, they can't do anything to her."
"Wait a minute, even if she is not afraid, there is no need for her to deliberately expose herself. There is only one possibility for her to do this, which is to tell the 'law enforcer' that she is not a killer, so she can be ruled out. But on the other hand, if she is a killer, she can also use the same method to confuse the audience." Affinity sighed softly at this time: "Please let the first person in line answer, and then so on!"
