Doomsday Wonderland

At Lin Sanjiu's request, everyone squeezed out all their brains and stopped when they could hardly distinguish between memories and fantasies. From the information that everyone pieced together, they eliminated a few that were really uncertain, and finally compiled a relatively confident list:

1. When a winner is produced and there are not enough people left to produce a new winner, the winner will be eliminated together with his or her own believers;

2. If the number of people is killed below the winning condition, the person will be stuck in the copy;

3. But after the dungeon produces a winner normally, it is still unknown whether those who have not won or become convinced will also be stuck and unable to get out;

4. The reward for the winner is that he does not have to become a believer, in other words, it is equivalent to nothing;

5. The rules do not specify the punishment for those who believe;

6. Within the dungeon, the believer still has a 5% chance of getting out of this state, but it is unknown outside the dungeon.

"Isn't it the same as not saying anything," Haina muttered, looking at the list written by Lin Sanjiu: "In the end, there was still no new information."

Everyone frowned and thought for a while, but Jiang Tian was the first to break the silence: "Actually, the fourth and fifth items are quite interesting."

"What do you say?" Duckling raised his head and asked.

"The winner's reward is that he does not have to become a believer, and there is nothing else. The winner's 'reward' will continue forever, and the status will be fixed in the future. In this way, the loser's punishment is to become There are no more believers than that, right? From now on, the status will always be that of a believer?" Jiang Tian said.

"Then what?" Hina still didn't understand.

"No, she is right, this one may be very important." Lin Sanjiu said thoughtfully: "Generally speaking, the most common fate of losers in a dungeon is to either die or be left behind forever and become a dungeon creature... The price is heavy. But look at the first point. In this dungeon, both the winning and losing parties can leave the dungeon together.

"If the only punishment for a believer is to become a believer, then it can actually be said that the difference between winners and losers is very small. Because even if you are still a believer after you go out, it should not affect your..." She wanted to find a word that was as appropriate as possible, so she paused before saying: "Life."

Of course, that is if the winner does not interfere.

From this perspective, the "battle for voice" can be said to be unexpectedly benevolent - even if there is no hope of recovery, as long as the winner does not think about anything else after leaving, the life of the convinced can still continue as normal. .

On the contrary, if the believer "awakens" in the dungeon, it can be regarded as the worst situation: all the struggles and deceptions will have to be done all over again.

Everyone present was participating in a dungeon for the first time in their lives. At this moment, they were speechless and looked at each other. Duckling asked: "Is becoming a believer one of the ways to be eliminated?"

"Wait a minute, how do you know that becoming a believer will not affect your life?" The person who asked this question was one of the believers, Mu Ya. "I don't want to become a believer. Who knows what will happen. Maybe I won't have the ability to think on my own..."

If he knew that he had already convinced two people - he probably would never believe it.

Duckling and Jiang Tian both looked at him several times as if they were seeing a ghost.

Seeing that Lin Sanjiu didn't seem to hear anything and had no intention of answering, Mu Ya was startled. He tilted his head and thought about it, not knowing how to rationalize the situation, because he seemed to have forgotten the question immediately and never asked it again.

It was this attitude of "not feeling anything wrong at all" that made Lin Sanjiu even afraid to look at Muya - if the other party really turned into a sounding board or a puppet, it might make him more miserable than in this state. adapt.

Duckling seemed to feel the same way; she looked at him with surprise and doubt, and murmured: "I...I don't want to be a believer."

It seemed like the second half of the sentence, "I don't want to be like him," almost came out of his mouth.

Now, no one can think of an optimal solution.

"What bad luck," Wan Volt muttered in the stalemate silence, "If I had known, I would have held on to that library until my death..."

Lin Sanjiu raised her head. "What did you say?"

Wan Volt was startled, seeing everyone's eyes falling on him, and murmured: "Ah? I, didn't I tell you? When I was washed down by the river, I happened to get entangled with another person's boat. In fact, it only lasted a moment, and we could be rushed away immediately. But by chance, we were caught by a copy upstream..."

"Is this your second copy?" Lin Sanjiu asked in disbelief.

"No, it's not... We entered at the same time, but there was only room for the last person in the dungeon." Wan Volt explained: "My mind was confused at the time. After listening to the introduction for a while, I finally found that the dungeon seemed like One of us was going to be kicked out. I reacted faster than that guy, turned around and ran in the direction I came from, and was kicked out. Later, for some reason, the other copies on the river stopped catching me, and I was rushed all the way. Entered into this battle. Hey, I wish I had known better and didn’t run away..."

It must have been delayed for a while, because the other dungeons were full of people.

Lin Sanjiu's shoulders relaxed, UU reading www. uukansｈhu.net asked casually: "What kind of copy is it?"

Wanvolt thought for a moment. "A library, quite big, with bookshelves full of books on the four walls. The room is so high, you have to climb a ladder to get the books above... The copy is for ten people. After we entered , an old man wearing glasses began to introduce the rules, and the victory goal seemed to require us to expand our influence. After he finished speaking, he realized that there was one more person."

Ever since entering the dungeon, Lin Sanjiu has always had an uncomfortable feeling, as if there was something that she knew about, or that she should have thought of, but she didn't. It was usually just a looming shadow, but now it was clearly stuck in her nerves. She couldn't help but ask: "What are the specific rules? Please tell me."

Under the influence of 3.3 status, Wan Volt did not hesitate at all, frowning and recalling: "Everyone will get a book, and you will only be given thirty minutes to read it. You must correctly understand the purpose of the book - to give it to everyone Each personal book has a hidden purpose - and then test out ten people to find someone who has a similar purpose to yours. Be careful with this step, because there are also players who have goals that conflict with yours... and then you have to find a way to do as much as possible Destroy or ban books in the library that are not in line with your purpose, leaving only books with similar purposes... The more books your faction has, the greater your influence will be, and the easier it will be to deceive people. In the end, it all depends on which faction wins."

Lin Sanjiu sat there blankly. When the wind blew, the cold sweat on his back was like ice slag.

Even though the rules look different, aren't they essentially the same?

"Influence"...isn't it equivalent to "credibility" in this game?

A question came to her mind that she had never thought of before.

Where do the ordinary people who win or fail from the dungeon go after they come out with these influences and convictions?
