Really?

For a moment, Wu You was also shaken. The first system voice said that each of them could not leave their position, otherwise there would be a big problem.

But now...

So far, the system has not declared their mission failed...

Listening to Zhong Yirou's struggling cry for help, Wu You's mind became confused uncontrollably, and he could only force himself to calm down.

Nanshan tried to control her peach wood sword, but the peach wood sword just flew up, as if it was blocked by something and could not continue.

"Wu You..."

Hearing Zhong Yirou's voice, Wu You's back was almost sweating.

"Are you really Zhong Yirou!"

"Roasted...roasted chicken...you don't have to eat..."

The moment he heard this sentence, he suddenly understood.

"I'm going to save her."

Josh's voice appeared in the cloister, "Are you sure?"

"I still remember something so unpalatable until I die, it can only be her."

The moment Wu You spoke, the green square under his feet suddenly turned red, and a burst of alarms sounded in the room.

"Compression stopped, powertrain failure."

The originally dark room was instantly filled with a rich scarlet haze.

"Wu You, did you move?" Josh asked in a panic.

"No." Wu You answered him and shouted Zhong Yirou's name again, but got no response.

"Trouble."

He decisively left the square where he was and ran to Zhong Yirou's direction, "Zhong Yirou, wait for me, I'm here."

He remembered she was in the northwest corner.

Nanshan also seems to have moved, "Be careful, I also passed."

Hearing both of them move, Josh also shouted, "Wait for me! I'll come to you even if I move."

Through the diffused red haze, Wu You ran to the northwest corner, and when he passed the southwest corner, he saw Josh who was also running forward.

But when he arrived, it was different from what he imagined.

Zhong Yirou is not here, it is empty.

Soon, he saw a golden light appear in the corner on the right, Wu You immediately shouted Zhong Yirou's name there, but got Nanshan's response.

"Come on, here I am!"

Why the northeast corner?

Wu You didn't think much, and rushed towards Jin Guang's position with Josh, in the vast red mist, he saw the same face as An Wujiu again, but he was very Struggling painfully because he was trapped by Nanshan's spell.

"It was true that he was dragging Miss Zhong just now. Fortunately, there is no weapon. Let's see how Miss Zhong is?" Nan Shan made a seal on both hands to maintain the technique, but her face was very bad and it was quite difficult.

Wu You helped Zhong Yirou, who had collapsed to the ground, "Hey, are you alright?"

Zhong Yirou still closed her eyes without any response. So he sniffed her breath.

Fortunately, nothing happened.

"Nanshan..." Josh pointed to the fake An Wugui in the golden light rune array, "He seems to be disappearing."

As soon as Wu You raised his head, he saw that the golden light of the rune was about to gradually hide the outline of A02, and his painful expression gradually faded, almost disappearing.

However, Nanshan's physical strength was severely limited by the game, and in the end, she couldn't support such a strong technique, so she knelt down on her right knee.

There was a gust of wind, the spells were removed one by one, and the A02 in front of him completely disappeared into the black mist.

"Is it really a ghost?" Josh helped Nan Shan, "Are you all right, Mr. Nan Shan."

Nan Shan felt that her tongue was sealed, and opened her mouth with difficulty, but it was difficult to make a sound. After a while, he nodded, "Yes."

"So A02 is really dead..." Josh muttered to himself.

"That's why, the number 2 card will be replaced with a ghost card." Wu You thought for a while, "Could it be that the hidden plot of this game is A02's road to revenge?"

Josh also began to speculate on the repeated A02's intentions, "Will... kill A02, everyone present? So he wants to kill the corresponding person on the corresponding floor ."

Wu You looked at the top of the corridor, he felt a little strange.

Does the mission fail, only the people inside will have an accident?

Just thinking of this, a strong light suddenly appeared in front of them.

A door in the middle wall opened.

Originally, Wu You didn't intend to approach, but the voice of the magic rabbit appeared again.

"It's a pity, dear friends, that your mission failed.

In this way, your companions may die. "

Wu You's hanging heart fell heavily for a moment, and her fingertips began to tingle.

"But..." The rabbit was too skilled at playing with people, he paused for a moment, then laughed again, "You know, I'm a pretty kind person, how can I bear to watch everyone lose their own Where's your partner?"

"Go into this gate and you'll get what you want."

This is clearly delusional.

Although they knew it and knew it very well, Wu You helped Zhong Yirou to walk towards the open door without hesitation.

"Wu You..." Josh was a little scared, "Is there any fraud?"

"I can't just watch them in danger."

Wu You walked forward without stopping. This teenage boy has a calm footsteps and a courage rarely seen at his age.

"Brother Wu Jiao was the first person who was willing to help me in the altar and let me live, although he had the element of taking advantage at that time, but no one even wanted to take advantage of me before that .

Everyone ignores me, even if I die. "

He didn't continue, the cool white light was on the clean profile.

In the end, Wu You walked in directly.

Josh had hesitations, and Nan Shan thought it was normal.

Walking in without hesitation at this time is not like his style.

"Let's go in too." Nan Shan said softly to Josh who was supporting him.

"After all, we always have to find the gate of heaven on this floor and go to the last floor. Staying here will only be temporary safety. Together, the odds of winning are always greater. some, aren't they?"

Josh didn't struggle for long.

"I'm just a little scared," he replied softly. Despite this, Josh still supported him, walked forward step by step, and entered the gate.

The moment they entered the room, the door slammed shut.

The rabbit's voice reappeared: "Wow, you are so kind, one of you came in without landing. This has never happened before."

"More or less, there are always people who desert."

The four walls of this room seem to be made of metal, with a cold sheen. In front of them were three identical huge closed metal boxes, each the size of an elevator cabin.

Intuition tells Wu You that this is the three of them.

"What do you want us to do?" Wu You asked coldly.

The rabbit gave a sharp laugh.

"You are so impatient at such a young age.

This is not a good thing for your future challenges. "

& nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; say that there are four huge metal mechanical arms in front of them, and the four of them are directly grasped at a very fast speed. They clamped their waists, unable to move at all.

Just as Wu You was trying to struggle, the giant manipulator suddenly released, his body fell suddenly, and finally fell heavily on a bed that was neither soft nor hard.

Operating table.

Everyone's body is bound by bandages, there is no room to escape, and more delicate robotic arms appear, with electrodes on the top, appearing in pairs, aiming at their temples and the top of their heads.

"It's actually quite simple, I'm afraid you've already guessed it.

Yes, your companions are now in these sealed metal rooms. They are completing another challenge and all you need to do is buy them time. "

The rabbit smiled, "Isn't it very familiar? It's the same as what happened in the circus theater before, but you were in a hypnotic state at that time, and now, you will be very awake, more than ever. All awake."

Speaking, the robotic arms with electrodes gradually approached, and the tips hit their scalps and temples heavily.

"Because you will experience pain like never before."

The more the rabbit laughed, the crazier it became, "How lucky you are, you have trusted companions, so these pains can be divided into four equal parts. There was a fool who came alone and had to bear all the pain. pain.

I passed out in pain, and I didn't wake up at the end of the game. "

Even though the electrodes are not really energized, they seem to be feeling the pain.

"There are seven rounds of challenge in the room, which means that you need to be shocked a total of seven times. Friends, you can stretch out your right hand and touch the edge of the bed, yes, there There is a red button.

When you feel unbearable, you can also choose to press the button, so that the electric shock you suffer will stop immediately, but the corresponding…

In the room, the time left for them will also stop. "

"Press it, or not, it's your choice."

The rabbit chuckled.

"Good luck to you then."

In an instant, two blank histograms appeared in front of Wu You's eyes, one was the pain level, and the other was the accumulated seconds.

Both appear in color at the same time.

His fingers gripped the operating table tightly.

"Hold on..."

Wu You is no longer clear whether he is talking to the other three or convincing himself.

Every crevice of the bone is filled with the pain of current breakdown.

"Wow, that's amazing."

"It's time."

Trapped in an airtight metal room, quietly waiting for the rabbit to announce the rules of the game.

Suddenly, he heard violent screams, one after another, not from the same person.

"Who is this? Wu You?"

The rabbit who had been silent for a long time finally said: "Don't be so nervous, these kind angels will not die, they are just dedicating and sacrificing for your progress."

This description disgusts Ann.

It is like forcing a young life to sacrifice for the so-called "future of mankind".

"What the **** are you doing?"

"Wow, it seems that you really need someone else's life to threaten you." Rabbit was very satisfied with An Wujiu's loss of calm, "Don't worry, these poor companions are just It's to endure the pain and buy time for you."

"Except for you, the half-race woman who is colder than you, and the handsome guy with green eyes, are all locked in a completely airtight room, just like you. All three of you can hear The comrades outside screamed and begged for mercy because of the pain, but they couldn't hear any sound from each other."

This is simply killing their ability to think calmly.

"This game... it's actually very simple." The rabbit's voice hovered high in the sky, as if it was above cruelty and pain.

"I just want to ask you a small question: We want to gene-edit, in short, knock out, for our friends out there, and even for the kids in the entire shelter Genes that we think are harmful. Of course, you might think, whatever, it's just altar game."

"No." Rabbit smashed their flukes and fantasies lightly.

"Don't forget, your nerves have been connected to this game, even if your companions are lucky enough to survive and become survivors, the knocked out gene will also block some small, but Another important cranial nerve."

This is what the rabbit meant by "incomplete" at the beginning.

An Wu Jiao's heart went cold.

The game was built on their pain.

If they really lose, do they have to pay more and more pain?

In the shrill cry, An Wujiu forced himself to calm down.

In any case, giving up thinking is the first step towards death.

"You just said...you want to do gene editing." He focused on the word "want".

"Yes, just want it, because we need the opinions of the three of you. So, you just need to answer me to knock it out, or not to knock it out."

At the same time when the rabbit said these words, a white box slowly appeared on the metal wall in front of An Wujiu. A round button with YES printed on the black and NO on the white.

Below the button is a small LED screen, but it is now dimmed.

The bottom edge of the box has a small section of wire exposed, An Wujiu conjectured that this might be connected to the source of their pain outside.

The rabbit continued, "This question, I will ask you seven times in total, and each time will decide whether to knock out or not to knock out based on the majority of your results. For example, in the first round, among you Two of them chose to be knocked out, and one of them chose tails, the result of this round is set as YES, and the minority obeys the majority, which is fair.”

An Wu blame does not understand, if this is the case, everyone will definitely choose not to knock out, there is no reason to make a choice to hurt others.

"I know what you're thinking." Rabbit smiled, "Of course it's not just these rules."

"Your answer is not only about their pain and peace, but also determines whether you can get out of here."

"Because the decision maker has three choices, YES or NO, the rules for unlocking the door are as follows:

A. If three people choose the same result, whether they choose to knock out the gene or not, they will unlock the door of player Yang Erci.

B. If two people choose to knock it out and one chooses not to knock it out, then the door lock of the player Shen Ti will be unlocked.

C. If one person chooses to knock it out and two people choose not to knock it out, you, An Wujiu, will have the opportunity to unlock the door. "

The screams outside the door became more and more piercing, making An Wujiu feel uneasy.

"There are seven questions, what if one of the above situations is repeated?"

."

"Not only that, even the person who unlocks the door can only be released after the seven questions are over. Until then, you must all stay here and answer my questions one by one ."

"Seven questions will get seven answers, knocking out or not knocking out, in this way, the minority obeys the majority, if most of the seven answers are YES, then no Excuse me."

The rabbit gave a weird laugh, "I can't hear each other's voices, can't talk to each other, can't see each other's faces, and I don't even know what kind of answer the other party gave this round, only Can you hear the miserable screams of your friends, isn't it lonely and helpless?"

Their information is isolated from each other.

Because the information is not equal, it is impossible to know what kind of answer the other party will give this round, whether it is YES or NO, and there is no way to adjust your choice according to other people's strategies.

Not only must the door lock be opened, but also the final result of the seven rounds must be NO, otherwise the four people outside will suffer irreversible damage.

An Wujiu would like to know what kind of state of mind Shen Ti is in at this moment, whether he is suffering like him.

The rabbit smiled and announced for them, "The people outside have used pain to collect the first round of thinking time for you. You know, human endurance is limited. If and before Like people, they may not make it to the seventh round."

An Wujiao appeared in front of a huge countdown.

"Tell me your choice in 60 seconds."

An Wujiu closed his eyes and began to think from the perspective of others.

This is the first opportunity to answer, it should be easy to think that the three people should choose NO as much as possible, and choose not to knock. You can also strive for the first result of [No Knockout].

He believes that both Shen Ti and Yang Erci should be able to think of this.

The 60 second countdown is exceptionally short.

An Wujiu opened his eyes, and with 40 seconds left, he made his choice directly.

He pressed the white button with NO written on it.

The countdown continued for a few seconds, and the rabbit's voice did not appear again until it reached zero.

An Wu Jiu frowned when she heard the applause.

It was applauding, as if watching a wonderful performance.

Soon, a cheerful electronic music appeared in the metal room, like the system celebration sound that appeared after the game successfully passed a level.

The source of the sound is the box on the wall, the dark display above it lights up, and a few characters appear.

[N, N, N]

"Congratulations, you reached a tacit agreement in the first round, and everyone chose not to knock. I will do what I say, and unlock Yang Erci's door now."

New words scrolled across the box display.

[The door lock of player Yang Erci has been unlocked! ]

"It seems that you are all very kind people." The rabbit's voice was as sharp as nails scratching on the aluminum metal frame, which made the whole body uncomfortable, "There are still six chances to answer, Take good care of them. Their fate, and your own, is in this simple yes or no."

The screams that erupted from the unbearable pain penetrated the metal wall, and the sound was like sharp claws, clasping at An Wujiu's heart.

He couldn't imagine how painful it was to make Wu You, who is good at patience and silence, make such a voice.

He was still an underage child.

"Wow, they saved another 55 seconds for you, that's amazing." Rabbit's happiness was beyond words, "Come on, let's start the second round of answering."

The countdown starts again, and the numbers keep changing.

An Wujiu thinks quickly.

In the last round, he used the public answer that all three people wanted, because this could get an unlock opportunity, and he could not make a knockout.

But this time, there is no so-called public answer. If everyone chooses not to knock out again, three NO, the final result can only be to repeatedly unlock Yang Erci's door.

They're wasting an opportunity.

The best answer is two not knocking out, one knocking out, so taking the majority is also the result of not knocking out, and it can unlock his own door.

Several times the answer will be three NO, because freedom has been ensured.

So this time, as long as you don't open Yang Erci's door repeatedly, everything has a chance.

In order not to repeat, there must be one person's choice that is different from the other two. And because of the punishment mechanism after the game is over, An Wujiu thought that they would naturally prefer the option of [No Knockout], because it is safe and correct.

If the other two choose NO, he should choose YES so as not to repeat the unlocking.

No.

An Wujiu thought again, if he can think of this, other people will definitely think, whether it is Shen Ti or Yang Erci, they are not so simple people, they must have guessed this situation, Maybe consider choosing YES and be that balancer.

In this way, it is very likely that three candidates will choose YES.

Select NO, choose not to knock out…

A voice kept coming up in my heart, as if trying to convince him.

What if they both want to choose NO to balance?

"Five seconds left." Rabbit reminded very kindly.

An Wujiu finally reached out, pressed the black button, and chose YES.

Time was zero, and the rabbit smiled at him.

"Announce your results."

The cheerful and pleasant celebratory sound still appeared, but the small screen on that side gave a result that was not worthy of celebration.

[YYY]

"You are really tacit friends. This time, they made the same choice, but replaced it with a knockout gene."

[The door lock of player Yang Erci has been unlocked! ]

"Answer twice, and the result is a draw."

The rabbit paused, and spoke softly in the cry and pain.

"Five more chances, good luck!"
