Chapter 608: My friend dies, but I live on (6K chapter)
9 people!
As soon as these words came out, Zheng Gongwei felt a chill in his heart.
There are currently 28 players in the field. If 9 people are required in each room, then there will be three rooms.
The optimal solution is to accommodate up to 9 people in each room.
In other words, at least one player will be eliminated in this round of the game.
The moment he heard the number 9, Zheng Gongwei's eyelids twitched.
This number really has a targeted feel!
If he didn't know that at this moment, Qin Shang in the field was the "shadow" and Qin Shang himself was in room 3, and that the numbers in each round of the game broadcast were random, Zheng Gongwei would even suspect that the numbers that appeared in this round of broadcasts were completely targeted at Qin Shang by Shenlu.
After all, if only one person is eliminated and everyone in the field needs to vote to abandon a player, then the most likely person everyone will vote for is the most active person in the crowd and the one who poses the greatest threat to everyone.
In this game, players on the Divine Path cannot use the abilities granted by the Divine Path. Everyone is an ordinary person. Once there is a situation where the minority needs to obey the majority, the competition is not about intelligence, luck, or physical strength.
It's about the threat level of a person in the minds of other people, in the minds of most people. Because when someone is considered a greater threat by others, they can use numbers to crush him or her and use some violent means. This is almost the same as voting to decide who is eliminated...
At this moment, the expressions of every player changed slightly.
When the fox-faced man heard the number 9, a hint of excitement flashed across his eyes and he couldn't help licking his lips.
A sentence suddenly popped up in my mind: God is really helping me!
In this round, only 27 players can pass the level, but at this moment there are 28 people on the field.
This means that among all the people present, one player will definitely be eliminated...
The guy who 'licked the cockroach's feet' had just stolen the show. If he just ignored other players in the second round, it would definitely backfire. If someone fanned the flames, he would most likely be the one to die!
Moreover, as a player copied by the "shadow", he did not hide this identity, but instead used it to act in a high-profile manner.
Everyone knows that they can curry favor with him by following him and 'licking the cockroach's feet', so who would be so stupid as to waste time looking for teammates to form a team?
What if I accidentally enter a room and this kid's "shadow" mixes in?
There are so many people here, and they run away so quickly that you might lose sight of them if you are not careful.
What if this kid’s “shadow” jumps out and creates a mystery about who is the real Monkey King?
As soon as he thought of this, 'Whoever gives me milk is my mother' immediately thought of a way to kill Qin Shang in this level.
Misdeeds committed by God can be forgiven, but misdeeds committed by oneself cannot be saved!
Boy, your bad luck has come...
Thinking of this, he turned his head and glanced at the death of Tom is not a cat among the two bodies, and a trace of hatred jumped on his face.
Brother, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you!
The next moment, as expected, the nursery rhyme that suddenly rang out in the empty monastery hall directly caused a commotion among the players in the field. "Whoever gives me milk is my mother" had a preliminary plan in mind and suddenly walked towards Qin Shang at the first moment.
Then, under the stunned gaze of the players, he bowed deeply to Qin Shang.
That pale and cunning face was suddenly filled with sincerity, and even showed an apologetic look, and said loudly.
"I'm sorry. Let me first apologize to you, Comrade Licking Cockroach's Feet. I was emotional just now. You and the White-robed Swordsman are right. It is understandable that you hid your identities as bad guys. If it weren't for you, perhaps more players would have been eliminated in the last round. Maybe it wasn't you two who died, but someone else. This round, please make sure you lead us through the game..."
After saying this, he slowly stood up and said excitedly.
"Everyone will be able to pass this round easily by following you. I accept my fate and admit defeat. It is not shameful to lose to you. I have figured it out. I remember that you are a high-level player who has passed S-level dungeons many times."
"As a professional fraudster player, you should have a way to clear the level, right?"
After that, he spoke rapidly, not giving Qin Shang any chance to refute.
Not far away, Zheng Gongwei was watching with a stunned expression.
Then the 'whoever gives me milk is my mother' pleaded righteously.
"Then let's do it the same as before. You will be the last one to enter the room. After all, you are the player copied by the "shadow", and we have no means to distinguish the "shadow". If you enter the room first, there will be so many people in the field, and everyone will scatter in a hurry, and the "shadow" in the room may have the ability to imitate you. At that time, the situation will become a scene of the real and fake Monkey King. Besides you, who else has the ability to distinguish the "shadow"? If you are not careful, it may lead to a large number of players being eliminated!"
"But as long as you don't enter the room, it will be fine..."
"Don't worry, you will be in charge this round. As long as you can lead me to the next round, I will definitely not make trouble. Oh, by the way, I can tell you any information you want. We can even find a place to chat alone after this game is over. I am willing to tell you all the information I know about this copy. I am from the Jiangcheng Bad People Organization. We have cleared out this pollution source more than once or twice, so I still have some experience. I must know more secrets than you. I will answer you whatever you ask..."
It was obvious to the naked eye that this guy seemed to be really panicked, his face was pale and his body was shaking.
Suddenly, the hostility he had just had with Qin Shang and Zheng Gongwei disappeared.
"I, I don't want to die. These two previous examples are right here. I don't want to die, I really don't want to die. I admit that I just survived a disaster and my mind was not functioning properly for a moment. I got angry subconsciously, but if I want to survive this round of the game, it's impossible without cooperating with you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the other players in the field immediately came to their senses and looked at Qin Shang with complicated eyes.
Yes, it is impossible not to cooperate with 'licking cockroach's jade feet'.
Only this guy can identify the "shadow". Once everyone gets in a mess and runs into the room, maybe they won't pay attention. If this guy's "shadow" also walks out of the room, then it will be impossible to tell who is the one licking the cockroach's feet and who is the guy's "shadow".
And we must not let this kid enter the room first.
Based on the experience from the previous round, the person in the room who looked exactly like him was his "shadow", and at this moment, there was indeed no second person in the field who looked exactly like Qin Shang.
In other words, his "shadow" must be in a room at this moment.
Once he enters the room first, some people might not be able to judge if they don't pay attention...
Now no one cares whether his Shenlu ID is "licking cockroach's jade feet" or whether the gloomy-looking young man is a fraudster player who became famous in the official Shenlu player forum within just three months.
The other players on the field only cared that this guy was the only one copied by the "shadow".
In addition to Zheng Gongwei who paid special attention when Qin Shang left Room 3 and saw that before the door was closed, a figure seemed to be faintly visible in the room.
Other than that, the other players didn't even notice it.
When he thought of this, Master Zheng's expression changed slightly, and he stared at the fox-faced man with contempt and coldness.
This bastard is really good at acting!
He probably already could guess why this guy suddenly and inexplicably apologized to Qin Shang!
If there is such a profession as an actor among Shenlu players, then this guy is simply a natural actor. However, when scolding others, Mr. Zheng seemed to have forgotten himself, and he used Yin Shisan's alias and played the role of "white-clad swordsman".
He also performed the role to a certain degree of perfection.
"What do you mean?"
The next moment, Qin Shang also narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms across his chest, neither hurried nor slow.
The sounds of children's songs and nursery rhymes around were neither fast nor slow, but they were like life-threatening voices that continued to deepen the anxiety in the hearts of other players.
"You want me to continue coordinating everyone?"
"Of course, you are the only one who can be the leader. But I have to inconvenience you a little. As usual, you will be the last one to enter the room."
The fox-faced man chuckled. He had no prestige in the crowd just now, but after he finished speaking, many people subconsciously nodded in agreement.
Zheng Gongwei saw this scene in the crowd and felt so disgusted that he almost vomited.
These people are just like fools. Anyone with a brain can figure out that the number of players required in each room for this round is 9, which means that only three rooms are needed, with nine people in each room, for exactly 27 people.
But there are a total of 28 players in the field at the moment, which means that at least one player will be eliminated in this round no matter what.
As a result, when these people asked Qin Shang to coordinate and assign everyone, it was as if they were completely unaware of this. Even when the fox-faced man said seriously, "You will be the last player to enter the room," none of the other players in the field moved, planning to find someone to team up with to complete the game, and ran towards the direction of the five rooms.
This scene is so ironic...
You know, during the first round of the game, almost as the number of players was announced, the first players to run over were the fox-faced man 'Whoever has milk is a mother' and 'Tom is not a cat'.
Next came Qin Shang and 'Urine is the tears of the bladder'.
But the other players in the field did not have no reaction either. Almost as soon as the four of them set off, they all showed panic in their eyes and ran towards the direction of the five rooms as desperately as possible, for fear that they would be the two people who were left behind because they were too late.
But what about now?
More than ten seconds had passed since the game broadcast ended, and the others felt as if they were under a spell.
They all stood still, watching Qin Shang and the fox-faced man talking with different expressions.
Even though a few players showed disdainful looks, they were very honest and did not move at all.
For example, the intuitive female reporter who was in the same room with Qin Shang before, and the saying "Urine is the teardrop of the bladder"...
shortcut!
Once short-sighted people find a shortcut, they will rack their brains to find ways to take it.
Even if one gets hurt, the cost of silence will make one persist in going down this wrong path until the end.
Even if you have already begun to realize that the effort and reward are not proportional.
This is also a bad nature of human beings. Otherwise, why is there an idiom called "trying to be clever will lead to great losses"?
Why do you suffer losses when you try to be smart?
And being clever will lead to big losses?
Because of human greed and arrogance...
The next moment, Qin Shang raised his chin thoughtfully.
"But one player will definitely be eliminated in this round, right?"
"If I am the last person to enter the room in this round, don't you think it's a bit unfair to me? In the last round of the game, nearly half of the friends present were able to survive. Is it because of me?"
