Chapter 303 Eliminate This Wrong Option
Although everyone is still very suspicious of Ash's speculation, there is no doubt that the atmosphere in the venue has relaxed a lot, and no swords are drawn and they look around at each other.
Because they all recognized at least one thing: there must be a close relationship between them, so they came to this amnesia wooden house together.
As for whether they are friends, lovers, or relatives, those are all details.
If they were given more time, they wouldn't be able to figure it out, but the negative effects of amnesia are too great: you suddenly appear in a strange place, and there are several strange people next to you, and you can't find them. You can't even remember your own name until you find anyone you can rely on. It's like a newborn baby being thrown onto the street, facing the gravity of reality alone. The air seems to want to suffocate you.
It's just that babies have no other coping strategies besides crying, but magicians are different - the violence has not yet been erased from them.
In the single-player story mode of the wooden house, most magicians will often attack the phantom out of panic, but the phantom cannot be destroyed, and the magician can also gain some sense of security through violence in catharsis.
Even if they can't calm down, they can at least recognize their situation and choose to leave or accept the game.
But the multiplayer mode is different - wouldn't it be better to direct violence at 'strangers' you don't know rather than your own phantom?
It was almost natural for Ash and Sonia to draw swords and confront each other just now, and Sonia was wary and had a bad temper. If Ash had the same temper as her, there would almost be a fight. Fortunately, Denzel comes in and interrupts their battle round, and then the Phantoms appear to distract them with explanations.
But the crisis in their relationship remains unresolved because the cabin is so big that if there's going to be a trivia game, other people are bound to be there.
Their rational strings are too tight and they cannot continue to withstand "the gaze of others". As long as others still exist, they cannot play the game.
For this situation, the phantoms had no plan. They knew how to guide the soothing magicians, but the cabin mechanism did not have the function of mediating the conflicts among the magicians.
However, there is no need for Phantom to mediate conflicts.
The reason why they appease the magician is just to promote the quiz game. If the situation continues to deteriorate, there is a high probability that only one of the four people will be left, and the others will either be driven away or killed.
Although there are fewer participants, the trivia game can continue as long as there are people in the cabin.
The last person left can answer four people's questions. If she can answer other people's questions correctly, she will naturally get rewards from others.
Therefore, when Ash and the four of them were discussing their relationship, the phantoms did not interfere. I thought they would develop into a desperate fight, but I didn't expect Ash to unite everyone else, including Denzel who came later... The spectators, Sword Queen, and Witch quickly glanced at the Queen, who calmly Looking back at them.
"It sounds like you have reached a consensus." The viewer said: "Are you interested in answering questions?"
"Wait a minute, you just said that you have our memories." Sonia suddenly remembered something: "Then can you tell us what the relationship is?"
"No." The witch shook her finger: "We cannot disclose any specific information to you. You must answer the questions in a state of complete amnesia."
Ash said: "In addition to revealing information, if I ask you to do something, will you agree?"
"What's up?"
"For example, you." Ash pointed at the viewer and then at Sword Girl: "Go and kiss her, preferably wet."
There was no change in the expressions of the viewers and Sword Princess, not even their eyelashes trembled. But for some reason, the entities always felt that the light in the wooden house was a little dim.
Without waiting for the phantoms to answer, Sonia grabbed Ash's collar first and said with a blushing face: "What are you talking about!"
"Think about it, they are phantoms with our memories, right? They can communicate and seem to have the ability to think, which means they can be regarded as 'another me'." Ashi was very calm: "If the viewer follows the sword Ji can kiss very naturally, which means we are lovers."
"What if they don't want to?"
"Then lower the level of temptation and change from kissing to hugging. If hugging is okay, then we must have an intimate relationship similar to that of relatives." Ashi said: "Relying on this method, we can slowly change the depth of everyone's relationship. Test it out.”
Sonia was startled, thinking about the feasibility of this method.
Ash grabbed Sonia's hands and took them away from the collar: "Although I have never made a fuss or lost my temper, I have also lost my memory. How scared you are, how uneasy I am , so not only you, I also want to find evidence that can prove our relationship."
"I also want to trust you without reservation." He said softly: "In a dark world, nothing can make you feel more at ease than handing over your hands to others."
At this moment, the phantoms seemed to finally understand the instructions in Ash's words.
The spectators waved their hands and shook their heads, doubly denying Ya Xiu's request: "No, we are only responsible for guiding you to answer the questions and will not agree to requests other than answering the questions."
"This is the request to answer the question!" Ashi said immediately: "I think it is very necessary for you to kiss Sword Princess——"
"Although we are just temporary afterimages, we also have certain intelligence." Sword Girl said calmly: "Don't try to convince us with words. We fully understand that you want to obtain memory information through our interaction. This is not allowed. Yes, give up."
Seeing the phantoms' rejection, Sonia was a little dissatisfied: "Can't you be accommodating? You are me after all..."
"If you become a longing that can only last for a moment, will you fulfill other people's wishes?" Sword Girl sneered: "You should be glad that I am not really you - otherwise you will be in more trouble."
Sonia thought about her character and shut her mouth angrily.
"That is to say, we can't find any evidence to confirm our relationship." Ya Xiu said: "Then let's tentatively assume that you are all my lovers or lovers, or do you prefer to be my sister?"
Di Ya timidly said: "Sister."
"Why do you have to choose one of the two?" Sonia said: "Can't you not choose?"
"Because this is the basis of information when we answer the question." Ya Xiu said seriously: "Let's put it this way, if you are all my lovers, it means that you voluntarily share your lovers. Three logical conditions can be extended from this: First, our relationship is not equal. I am in an advantageous position. This advantage may be due to personal strength or social status; second, we have major interests, so you cannot leave me rationally; third Third, a lot of things may have happened between us, so you are not willing to give up on me emotionally."
"If the above three conditions are not met, it cannot explain our relationship. The above three logical conditions can be used as the basis for your answer to assist you in making judgments. In the same way, if you are my sister, you can also extend the corresponding logical conditions."
"I don't want to take advantage of you, but in the case of complete amnesia, this reference is the only life-saving straw we can grasp."
Sonia's face turned red and white. Seeing that Ash was so reasonable and she was so arrogant and unreasonable just now, inferiority and shame and anger surged into her heart: "Who knows what you think!"
"If I have to choose," Denzel, who had been silent until now, suddenly said, "I'll choose my lover."
Sonia looked at her in surprise: "Why?"
"There is no reason." Denzel said calmly: "I just feel that I am a little far away from the word sister."
Ash looked at Sonia, "What do you choose? In fact, this is just a basis for answering questions, not our real relationship - if you don't like these two options, you can also propose a new identity, as long as you can Just explain why we are together."
Sonia didn't answer, she looked down at the grain of the wooden floor, holding her right hand with her left hand, looking a little hesitant.
If Denzel also chose to be a younger sister, then she would definitely choose to be a younger sister.
However, after Denzel chose the identity of his lover, Sonia felt strange.
Obviously I don’t remember anything, I obviously don’t know who everyone is, I obviously only have vigilance and suspicion in my heart, but there is an inexplicable feeling of frustration in my heart.
This frustration is not external anger but internal blame. It seemed that as long as she continued to maintain her tough hedgehog form, she would lose something, or in other words, miss something.
Sonia glanced sideways at Sword Girl, who looked at her indifferently, her pupils showing subtle emotions that no one could deconstruct.
"...Lover."
"Um?"
"It's not true anyway." Sonia chose a chair and sat down in despair: "Let's answer the question!"
"Each of us happens to have the same identity, sister, lover, and lover." Ashiu said, "Let's call each other this way later."
Di Ya grabbed Ash's sleeve: "What about you?"
Ash was startled and smiled: "I really forgot about myself... However, I took your identity, so my identity should be decided by you. What identity do you want me to be?"
Sonia said angrily: "Our slave."
Denzel thought for a while: "Our master?"
Diya hesitated for a moment. She saw a painting hanging on the wall of the wooden house. In the painting, the knight protected the princess in front of the evil dragon, and then said: "I hope you are... the knight who protects us."
"Okay, then I'll choose the knight." Ash decided happily: "It seems that we won't get any new information if we continue to discuss it, so -"
"Let's start answering the questions."
Ash pulled Diya to sit on the bench, and Denzel went over to sit next to Sonia.
The four looked at each other for a moment, and Ash asked, "Who comes first?"
This sentence was like asking which oil drum wanted to volunteer to be a firefighter. Diya immediately shook her head, and Denzel fell into silence. Ash thought that no one would be the first sacrifice. Just as he was about to raise his hand, he heard a slap on the table next to him.
"I'll go first."
The sound like wind chimes revealed determination.
Sonia looked straight at Sword Girl. The light in her eyes was burning with bravery, inferiority or stubbornness. Unfortunately, the only person in the wooden house who could understand her was sitting opposite her.
"Are you so eager to prove yourself?" Sword Lady lowered her eyelids: "As you wish."
"Now, start your first question."
Sword Princess stood up and pulled out a picture album from the bookshelf next to her - no one could remember whether there was a picture album there before, or even whether there was a bookshelf there just now.
"Among these three people, who do you love the most?"
Sword Girl unfolded the album and pointed out three paintings:
A middle-aged peasant woman dressed simply;
A thin, dark-skinned little girl who doesn’t look cute at all;
And...a hooded man in a boat.
"First, eliminate this wrong option." Ash pointed at the hooded man in the painting.
