Chapter 246: Second Round of Plot Reasoning
Chapter 246 The Second Round of Plot Reasoning
Most people here didn't quite understand what the high school girl was doing, but soon they found out.
Footsteps came from the stairs.
In the recess of the stairs, a horse's face appeared.
The administrator came immediately.
When the high school girl saw Lao Ma, she was obviously relieved and whimpered a few times.
"The killer admits defeat, and the game enters the second stage. Huh? Why is there still one unconscious?" Lao Ma noticed the affinity with blood all over his head, walked over to take a look, and then picked up the cold water on the table and splashed it on him.
"Ah!" Affinity was awakened by the splash.
But it can be seen that he was still a little dazed, with half of his face covered in blood. He looked up, then stared at Luo Xi as if he had come to his senses.
His eyes suddenly became fierce.
The next moment, he grabbed the small metal fork on the table and rushed forward, obviously intending to fight to the death.
Lao Ma pulled the man back with one hand.
"Let me go, I'm going to kill him!" Affinity's face was full of madness, and it was obvious that he was blinded by anger and no longer had the wisdom and friendliness he had before.
"If you continue to attack other players, I will kill you for interfering with the game process." Lao Ma gave a warning.
This time affinity can only calm down.
And when he figured out what was going on, his expression suddenly became strange.
"The killer admits defeat? Starting the second stage of the story game?" Affinity had never expected such a thing to happen. He turned his head and glanced at Luo Xi, wanting to ask something but held back.
I guess he still hasn't gotten over that hurdle in his heart.
"Now that everyone is awake, let me read it again. If the killer surrenders without killing anyone, the game will start the second stage. Please note that once this mode is turned on, it is mandatory and you cannot quit. You must participate."
"Well, everyone can take out your career cards now. The second-stage career cards do not need to be kept secret."
At this moment, the high school girl was also released, and the tablecloth in her mouth was pulled out. She took out her occupation card and turned it over.
It says: Killer; Ability 1: If you know the target's appearance and occupation, write down the correct occupation name to assassinate the target; Ability 2: If you surrender without assassinating any player, you can start the second stage of the game. Requirements: Kill the 'Law Enforcer', 'Detective' and 'Fortune Teller' to win the game.
Obviously, once the killer starts killing people, it will be impossible to start the second stage of the game. At the same time, for the killer, it is equivalent to embarking on a road of no return. Either kill the three required professions, or die.
The others also took out their occupation cards, which basically matched their previous descriptions.
The affinity profession is indeed 'law enforcer'.
Occupation: Law enforcer.
Ability: If any player 'reports' any other player, he can 'capture' the reported player. The captured player will be eliminated (death) regardless of whether he is a killer or not. However, if he wrongly accuses a good person twice, he will lose his status as a law enforcer and become a civilian.
"Sure enough, there are restrictions." After seeing the job description of the law enforcer, Hooked Nose and the others figured out the restrictions and connections between professions in the previous game.
After thinking about it carefully, they all looked at Luo Xi.
There is no doubt that the game ending in this way is extremely unlikely, but it happened anyway.
It was because this 'robber' walked ahead of everyone and understood the core of the game, and knew the identity of the key professions, and then he decisively knocked out the law enforcer.
Of course, the reason for knocking out the law enforcer is that the other party must ensure that the requirements of the profession are completed before the end of the game.
As for the killer's surrender and the start of the second stage of the game, it should be completely an "accident".
"I will now announce the game content and rules for the second phase of the plot reasoning." Lao Ma was very serious and formal from beginning to end: "Because the previous law enforcer failed to complete the task of arresting the 'killer', his status was downgraded to a 'civilian', and the 'killer' chose to admit defeat without killing anyone, and his merits were offset by his crime, and he also became a 'civilian'. The abilities and requirements of the above two professions are all invalid. In the second phase of the game, I will personally join the game and play the role of the new 'law enforcer'. As players of the game, you need to explore, discover and find the plot content in specific game scenes, and promote the plot. Only when the plot is carried out to the last step can it be considered a clearance."
"Wait a minute!" Affinity said at this time: "You mean, let us explore and discover the script by ourselves, that is, there is no script at the beginning. In that case, there are two possibilities. One is that the script content is found, and the other is that it is not found. If it is not found, what will happen?"
"That's a good question." A smile seemed to appear on Lao Ma's face. "The plot will still move forward, but you just don't know about it. It's like a moving bus. Whether the passengers know the stops and destinations along the way does not affect the bus's entry plan. In the end, it will still arrive at the terminal."
"That means that even if you are kept in the dark the whole time, it won't hinder your clearance, is that right?" asked the burly man over there.
"That's right!" Lao Ma nodded.
"That's easy then. If you can find it, then find it. If you can't find it, just lie down." The odd job man said indifferently.
Old Ma laughed twice and said nothing.
"Then, the second stage of the game officially begins!"
After saying that, Lao Ma walked to a sofa over there, stood in front of it, and then sat down.
Not moving anymore.
"Isn't he going to join the game and play the role of the new 'law enforcer'? What's the meaning of sitting over there?" the mature woman asked.
"Now that the game has begun, as a member of the game, he can do whatever he wants. But I feel that it is not a good thing for the administrator to join the game." The high school girl adjusted her glasses and said.
"So what should we do now?" asked the odd job man. He was obviously insecure, which did not match his actual age. Normally, a man of his age should be serious and talkative, but at this moment he was very active.
Affinity turned his head and glanced at Luo Xi. He touched the wound on his head. Fortunately, the bleeding had stopped, leaving a lot of blood scabs.
Luo Xi didn't care about this obviously hostile look. He had long reached the state of "not caring about anyone's opinion". Everything was just for the plan and the purpose to be achieved. Because there was no personal emotion at all, there was no dislike or like, hatred or other emotional things.
As for the questions raised by others, such as why the administrator joined the game, what exactly is the plot of the second stage, what they should do now, etc.
Luo Xi didn't even consider it.
In his opinion, the game has begun, so it's time to take action.
It's that simple.
Luo Xi walked over to Lao Ma and sat on the sofa next to him.
"Old Ma, since you are the new law enforcer, you have also inherited the abilities of the original law enforcer, right?"
"Yes." Old Ma didn't move, just glanced at Luo Xi.
"So, the reporting and arrest mechanism still exists, right?"
"If there is no 'killer', then the reporting and arrest mechanism will be meaningless." Lao Ma did not answer directly, but took a roundabout way.
"I can understand that, and vice versa as well."
Before Luo Xi finished speaking, a hurried phone call suddenly rang from a room on the second floor.
The sound was like a flash of lightning across the night sky, startling everyone. Luo Xi turned his head and saw that many people had already run over there, while a few people were standing there in a daze.
Apparently the sudden ringing sound represents the direction of the 'plot'.
Also, it must be a very obvious hint.
"I suggest you go and take a look. Others may not be able to capture the details." Lao Ma suddenly said in a low voice.
Luo Xi did not comment.
Although he was almost certain that the old man in front of him was Jiawu among the Six Dings and Six Jias, he could not be sure whether the other party was a friend or an enemy, especially during the days of confinement, the boundary between the two was very vague.
So Luo Xi stood up and walked over there.
He was not the first one to arrive, nor was he the last one. At this moment, several people had already arrived at the door of the room where the phone rang. It was the second room on the west corridor on the second floor.
The strong and friendly man in front tried to open the door.
But obviously, this door was locked and could not be opened without a key.
The phone continued to ring, right inside this room.
"Hehe, here comes the first problem. The incoming call that may represent key information of the plot is blocked by a locked door. Only if we open the door before the phone stops ringing will we have a chance to obtain this key information." said the mature woman who arrived later.
Basically, this is the reality right now.
Solve a difficult problem in a short period of time.
"The lock is a mechanical lock, and it's the common and easy-to-pry Type A. Give me the pin and the hairpin, and I can pry it open in a minute." The speaker was a part-time worker. At least from his appearance, this guy didn't look like a skilled worker, but it was understandable.
People who do odd jobs usually know a lot, and perhaps they have worked as locksmiths. What's more, this is not a difficult trade to get into, and you can get started with just a few pointers from an experienced master.
But before he could finish, Luo Xi took two steps forward and kicked the door hard.
bang~
The impact force was obviously beyond the strength of an ordinary person and directly destroyed the door lock, and the door was kicked open.
Then, under everyone's stunned gaze, Luo Xi walked into the room and answered the phone on the table.
"I almost forgot, his profession is a robber, and robbers break into houses. This setting is reasonable." The high school girl smiled, adjusted her glasses and moved closer.
She is not a killer now, but a civilian.
It seems that he is not as serious and worried as before.
The room is not big.
There is also a bed and a wardrobe on the side that takes up most of the space. The phone is on the bedside table, it is an old-fashioned phone. The room is decorated very warmly, the bedding is very exquisite, and you can even smell the scent of washing on the sheets.
Luo Xi was answering the phone. There was obviously sound on the line, but because the old-fashioned telephone did not have a speaker function, no one else could hear it.
Some people are dissatisfied.
Because this phone call must be related to the second stage of the plot in the scene.
But there was nothing he could do even if he was dissatisfied, because the door was kicked open by Luo Xi, and the opponent was the one with the strongest "fighting power" among these professions.
The few people who could squeeze into the room had already filled it up. There were still several people standing outside the door, and their eyes were all on Luo Xi and the phone in his hand.
About a minute later, Luo Xi hung up the phone.
The person next to him glanced at the phone and then at Luo Xi.
"What did they say inside?"
