Chapter 9 The Unacceptable Truth

Everyone was a little surprised when they saw these three words.

"I drew the Liar." Qi Xia said slowly, "But it doesn't matter whether this card is turned over or not, because it doesn't matter at all." He picked up the card and threw it casually in the middle of the table.

"If I guessed correctly, the card in each of your hands is the Liar."

No one moved after hearing this. After a while, Officer Li asked, "So... you mean everyone lied just now?"

"That's right." Qi Xia nodded, "You are smarter than I thought. You all added a little lie to your story, so that the story is completely established without affecting the logic of the plot."

Officer Li thought for a while and seemed to have thought of something.

"If what you said is right..." Officer Li sighed meaningfully, "The problem is even more difficult."

Everyone looked at Officer Li again, not knowing why.

Officer Li continued, "According to the rules, only if all of us choose the Liar, can we live together, but in this case the Liar loses. So we..."

Dr. Zhao was the first to understand what Officer Li meant: "You mean... we can vote at will, because everyone is lying, this has become a "must-win game", and only the person who is voted will die?"

"That's right." Officer Li nodded, "The best solution now is to concentrate all the votes on one person, so that the loss can be minimized. After all, the remaining people can survive..."

His words suppressed the atmosphere of the crowd to the extreme, while Goat Head did not move.

So... they are just voting for one person to die?

Qi Xia sighed helplessly, looked at Officer Li and said: "Officer, is interrupting others a hobby of yours? Does this make you feel accomplished?"

"What are you talking about?" Officer Li frowned and replied, "Aren't I helping you with your plans?"

"I don't need you to help me." Qi Xia said without thinking, "Your ideas will kill everyone."

"What?" Officer Li was stunned, "Why would I kill everyone? Am I wrong? If everyone is lying, then any vote can be valid, right? "

"Officer Li, Goat Head said, "The rules are absolute", "There is only one liar", do you remember?"

"This..." Officer Li pondered for a moment, remembering that Goat Head did say these two sentences.

"I will sort out your thoughts now." Qi Xia said coldly, "In this game, it seems that the "liar" has a great chance of winning, because everyone feels that they are going to win, but if we vote randomly, we will all die in the end."

Qiao Jiajin, who was sitting next to Qi Xia, touched his flower arm and said to himself, "Because we broke the "rules"..."

"Yes." Qi Xia nodded, "But the fun of this game is that we can't infer whether the other party is lying. As Lawyer Zhang said, we can only infer whether our experiences are contradictory, but we are not from the same region at all. Even if the things that happened are contradictory, there is no 100% certainty that the other party is lying. "

Qi Xia looked at the people who were lost in thought, and then said: "The organizer specially selected nine of us to sit here. He must have his purpose, which is to let us self-righteously find flaws from the seemingly interrelated stories. "

"But is that really right? How can we be sure that the other party is lying?" Qi Xia sneered, "In this game, the only "liar" we can confirm 100% from the known clues is this person. What he said is completely different from our current situation. "

Qi Xia took the pen and wrote the two words "Human Sheep" on the paper.

"I was curious before, why did Goat Head introduce us to such a strange name "Human Sheep" at the beginning, it seemed a lot of unnecessary. Now think about it, this is also part of the game. "

Everyone slowly turned their heads to look at "Human Sheep", he still did not move.

Officer Li was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Liar, I have a question. The rule that Goat Head said is "Among all the storytellers, there is only one liar", but he didn't tell a story. "

"No?" Qi Xia shrugged his shoulders without comment, "I remember that Goat Head clearly said that he gathered us here to create a "God". Isn't this an incredible story? "

Officer Li lowered his head silently. He felt that what Qi Xia said made sense, but he always felt that something was strange.

"But..." Doctor Zhao spoke, "All your assumptions are based on the premise that "everyone is a liar", but why do you conclude that we are liars? What if we turn over the cards and only you are a "liar"? "

"You can't be telling the truth." Qi Xia smiled bitterly, with a look of despair, "I also spent some time to verify this problem. I not only know that you are all lying, but also know where you lied. "

He pushed his draft paper forward and looked at Tiantian beside him: "Tiantian. You were "working" in the car with your head outside. Did the falling billboard really hit the car and make you lose consciousness?"

Tiantian pursed her lips, not daring to speak.

"Qiao Jiajin, you fell from such a height onto the billboard, did you really just "lose consciousness"? "

Qiao Jiajin was silent.

"Teacher Xiao Ran, did you and that child really avoid the speeding car?"

Xiao Ran's eyes dodge for a moment.

"Dr. Zhao, most of the brain operating rooms are built underground to keep the environment stable, but you said that the "ceiling" is tampered with. What does it mean if the ceiling in the basement is tampered with? "

Dr. Zhao turned his head to the side.

"Han Yimo, you said you had no idea what was going on, but you were most afraid of being disturbed when you were concentrating on writing. Don't you know how you got here?"

Han Yimo sighed slightly.

"Lawyer Zhang, your car was hit into a crack. How deep is that crack?"

Lawyer Zhang crossed his arms and showed no expression on his face.

"Officer Li, what brand of car are you driving? Can you put the seat down instantly and break free from the restraints of the person behind you?"

Officer Li touched the red marks on his neck and hesitated to speak.

"Ringo, your ceiling has also collapsed, but you said that your studio is located on a high floor. Once the high floor starts to collapse, the entire building will not exist, right?"

Ringo lowered his head deeply.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Qi Xia gritted his teeth and said:

"Everyone, admit it, all of us, including me, are dead."
