Chapter 235 Merlin's Double Game (3rd Update)
Mr. Reporter—or rather, what Merlin told Aiwass when they first met was not wrong.
This ceremony originally had two lines.
The closer you get to the top, the more you are disconnected from reality, and the easier it is to investigate the story... and get higher scores.
But the closer you get to the bottom, the greater your winning rate.
Because in this case, the advantage of dying quickly is the greatest.
This ritual created by Weizhe is actually not difficult. The main difficulty is that you start immediately after reading the rules, without giving any time for discussion and thinking.
At your own level, there is no need to conduct any investigation.
Just kill everyone at once and then commit suicide... and then start investigating again on the next level. As long as there are corpses on the next floor, he will immediately commit suicide and chase the promoted people on the same floor. In this way, you will have the initiative on the "first floor".
Then just make sure you are the first to die, and make sure after committing suicide that there will be no promotions on this level at all for the first time. Then we found the zeroth floor.
Therefore, the lower the person is, the more say they have.
With this strategy, whoever reaches the zero level first will win - not only will they win, but they can also eliminate anyone they want.
"Because as long as the person who killed everyone in his birth layer successfully reaches and identifies the zero layer, then only he will know whether this is the zero layer, and everyone else's intelligence must be problematic. He only needs to find someone who is not there If anyone in your team is killed by suspecting that he is Merlin, or by negotiating with them to descend together... then regardless of whether this person is Merlin, he will be directly judged as a loser."
Aiwass spoke word by word, the muzzle of the gun slowly pressed against the pure white temple.
Jacaranda's eyes became nervous, while Huo Yin closed his eyes and rested at the side, too lazy to speak.
Junbai sighed: "Whether you believe it or not...I didn't do such a thing."
"I didn't say you did such a thing, I'm sorry. But you did have the opportunity to do such a thing."
Seeing that Chunbai was not angry at all and could remain calm even in this situation, Aiwass's tone became gentler: "After all, among all the people here, you are the lowest level."
"What about Merlin?"
Jacaranda couldn't help but ask: "Has this reporter already admitted that he is Merlin?"
Although she had just given evidence to reporters, she was quickly convinced by Fox and Pure White's logic.
The fox and pure white belong to two camps, and Merlin cannot play two people at the same time. Therefore, the logic they agree with at the same time is more reliable than that given by reporters.
"In short, we can't kill him."
Aiwass said calmly: "Three situations. One is that this is the zero level, so you can't kill reporters under any circumstances - if you do, I will kill Pure White.
"One is that this is not the zero floor, but the first floor. Excluding the lying reporters, the living silver comes from at least the fourth floor and above. Then Sherlock is on a certain floor in 567. He came down Time will bring a lot of information, and Merlin will be squeezed away.
"And the worst possibility is that this is not the first or zero floor, but the second or third floor. Then there is at least one of my companions on the top and bottom, and the other is Topa. We might as well start Wait here for the person from the top to bring in information before making a decision - he will be able to obtain the most information and pass through the most layers by investigating and collecting evidence alone.
"Daya, reporter, dancer - he must be one of these three. We might as well wait for him."
"——No need to wait."
At this moment, the reporter suddenly spoke.
His expression suddenly turned cold.
Cross your fingers vigorously and lean back naturally.
In a cold, arrogant and calm voice, he said slowly: "If you want to ask anything, just ask, I'm here."
There is no doubt that reporters at this time have become "detectives."
"How many levels did you descend?"
Aiwass asked.
"Third floor. On the first floor, I met Mr. Topa. He was playing the role of a dancer, very stupidly, and he was still investigating at a very fast pace... But I didn't think he could find anything in his investigation. On the second floor, I saw When we get to the corpses of the couple and the supervisor...the third floor is here."
The detective said calmly: "However, I only descended three floors, but there are five people here...so I judge that I may have descended more than three floors.
"Looking at your current actions and the atmosphere at the table... I speculate that Merlin may have been using my body just now. Then he should have accompanied one of you, or multiple people have descended several levels.
"But since there were three bodies on my second descent, and they were all present - why not let him tell me, am I right about the number?"
"Yes."
Living Silver slowly opened his eyes and replied: "These are the people I killed."
After a brief silence, Pure White put away her sword. Aiwass thought for a while and slowly put away his gun.
"I'm a fox."
He looked at the detective and confirmed: "If you are really a detective... tell me, what do you want to do most now?"
"...Of course we need to find Miss Lulu first."
The detective showed a slightly disgusted expression: "My floor, then Mr. Topa's floor, then Mr. Living Silver's. Then there are the three of you."
He said, pointing to Aiwass, Jacaranda, and Pure White: "You three can't be Merlin, because this body has just been occupied by Merlin. That means I came down from the sixth floor at least.
"In other words, if Miss Lulu is not on the seventh floor, she is on the first floor. I'm worried that if she is on the first floor, she will commit suicide twice and be eliminated... So let's go down as soon as possible."
He said, as if he realized something.
The detective glanced around and glanced at the cup on the table. He looked at the gun in Aiwas's hand.
He paused slightly and looked at Aiwas calmly, as if he had thought of something: "If they don't want to, why don't we go down first and take a look."
Looking at the detective's gaze, Aiwas was silent for a while, and suddenly laughed.
His eyes gradually became brighter.
"Interesting... Interesting. "
He murmured in a low voice.
Seeing the detective like this, Aiwas realized that there was still a loophole in the previous speculation - the premise of the "sure-win method" is that Merlin is not present.
Merlin can disguise the NPC as a promoted person, making the zeroth floor look not the zeroth floor, thereby tricking the other party to continue to dive. From this point of view, if there is no Merlin in this ceremony, then it is not fair at all.
Because as long as the people on the first floor choose this strategy, his chance of winning is extremely high. And no matter how other people operate, it will not affect his chance of winning.
Just like the game of stacking, pulling out the bottom layer will affect the bricks on the top; but pulling out the top bricks will have no effect on the bottom.
Would Wei Zhe make a ceremony with such a big loophole?
Moreover, these seven people are almost all connected. And although there are nine seats on the first floor, the rooms only go up to Room 206. If there are two more people, where will they live?
If the number of rooms is changed If it is, why didn't the seats change?
Considering the above, Aiwass boldly came up with a possibility---From the very beginning, this was a seven-person ceremony. This is a ceremony venue dedicated to the ceremony of absence.
Then the nine seats are not too many, but a hint. In addition to the front desk, there should be another "existence" in this hotel.
In other words, Merlin must be in this ceremony.
This ceremony was originally established with Merlin in mind!
So, who induced Aiwass to come up with this winning method?
- It was still Merlin.
In this way, Aiwass understood why Merlin's acting was so bad before.
Rather than letting him go, it's better to say that he didn't act well at all. Because that doesn't matter at all.
It turned out that he was waiting for me here.
"I'm thinking about a question now," Aiwass said slowly, "Are you... really a detective?"
"... What, you stupid fox? What are you trying to do?"
The detective frowned: "Do you think it's me or Merlin?"
"I don't know. I really can't tell. "
Evans answered sincerely: "I don't know if this is the second test question Merlin gave me."
If the "sure-win method" is even just "existing", they are now completely possible to be on the zeroth floor. As long as the pure white of the first floor takes out this layer, they are now on the zeroth floor.
And as long as this is the zeroth floor, Aiwass cannot do anything to the detective.
Otherwise Sherlock will be eliminated by him directly.
But if this is not the zeroth floor, and Aiwass thinks it is the zeroth floor, so he chooses to kill others or not commit suicide, he will stop at this floor and be eliminated.
This is the first level of the game.
And the reporter who didn't look like Sherlock before suddenly became like Sherlock. If he listened to his ideas, Aiwass should commit suicide with him now. In other words , the "reporter" is now persuading Aiwass to take action again.
But here comes the question...
——Is this really Sherlock who has descended on the "reporter", rather than Merlin who has changed his tone and started to act seriously?
Is his words credible or not?
This is the second level of the game.
Now Aiwass has no place to escape. He has no place to collect evidence, and Pure White will not provide him with more information.
It is or is not the zeroth floor.
It is or is not Sherlock.
There are four possibilities in two combinations.
——All of them are difficult questions pointing to Aiwass. If you answer one of the two questions incorrectly, you will lose. You can only win if you answer all of them correctly.
"It's more like gambling than reasoning... a one-quarter probability."
Aiwass chuckled: "But I took it."
