Three Towers Game-Chapter 1030 - 313: Ghost Knock Returns_3
Since everyone is pretending to be innocent, acting like victims...
Then Wen Xishu has no choice but to push the game forward himself.
Upon hearing that bad things were going to happen outside, Li Wei mocked:
"What bad things could possibly happen?"
Wen Xishu said:
"Everyone, what day is it today?"
With the task interpretation, Wen Xishu naturally knew that this task's theme was related to Longxia's Ghost Festival.
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, someone's expression changed immediately.
Xiaoya turned pale, and the sixty-year-old priest, Old Zhou, also trembled.
Doctor Chen Ming looked up:
"Today is the first day of the Ghost Festival. Teacher Wen, do you also believe in such nonsense?"
The first day?
It seems Longxia's Ghost Festival is different from the Ghost Festival of my previous life.
Wen Xishu said:
"The era when people would not speak of ghosts or the supernatural is over. The apocalypse has arrived, haven't you experienced enough bizarre things?"
This sentence was very persuasive, and the arrogant merchant Li Wei did not dare to go forward.
"The apocalypse has turned many things we imagined into reality..."
"Everyone, don't you find it terrifying that we were brought here so inexplicably?"
"If we could just open the door and leave, wouldn't the people who kidnapped us be too stupid?"
Li Wei immediately withdrew and sat back in his original seat.
At this moment, Chen Ming nodded:
"Teacher Wen, you're right. But what should we do to escape now?"
"We can't just wait here, right?"
Just then, the lights in the bar started to flicker continuously.
The jukebox in the bar suddenly played a chilling tune.
"I... want to forget you."
This was a lyric, with a somewhat wistful tune. The singer was a man, using a theatrical voice.
After the lyric ended, the jukebox emitted a crackling sound, and then a slightly mocking guidance appeared.
"Welcome here, all of you with ulterior motives."
"As the Ghost Festival arrives, the gates of hell open wide, and ghosts lurk around, thanks to the great tower! Making the fears in our hearts real!"
"Next, we'll interrupt with the first rule."
"The first one to attempt entering the bar is coming, please judge together whether it's human or a ghost."
"If you all think it's a ghost, congratulations, it will drop dead instantly."
"So, let the game begin."
Wen Xishu immediately understood, so that's how it is.
If everyone believes the person outside the door is a ghost, then whether it's human or ghost, the entity outside will be instantly killed.
But isn't this too simple?
"What does this mean? Does this game think we're idiots?"
"Since as long as we believe the person outside is a ghost, the ghost will die, then tonight, no matter who we encounter, shouldn't we just agree they're a ghost?" said police officer Zhang Qiang.
Wen Xishu also found it very strange.
This seems like another imposter game, similar to opening the door for imposters in Rokkasho Night...
But the rules are much simpler; if that's the case, the difficulty at this level is too weak.
Something's off.
Wen Xishu asked:
"What about the cost of killing the wrong person?"
Everyone was silent.
Wen Xishu continued:
"The game won't be this simple, everyone, assuming that there really are ghosts in this world, then as a Ghost Festival..."
"Won't the person we wrongly kill today also become a ghost?"
"Who dares to guarantee there's no cost to a wrongful kill?"
"And there's one more terrifying thing."
Xiaoya asked tremblingly:
"Wha... what is it?"
Wen Xishu's calm and rational manner clearly made him the backbone.
"The jukebox said that if everyone agrees that it's a ghost... both ghosts and humans could die."
"What we can be sure of is that if everyone agrees it's human, then the door will open, and if it's really a person, we've saved someone."
"If it's a ghost, we'll be killed."
Wen Xishu looked around:
"But there's another situation, where some people think it's a ghost and some think it's human."
"The jukebox didn't say what would happen in that case."
Zhang Qiang shouted angrily:
"Bullshit, the situation you speak of doesn't exist. As long as we unify our opinions, there can't be a situation like you said."
Yes, everyone's opinions align; if I vote against, you also vote against; if I vote for, you also vote for. In this way... there would be no simultaneous opposition and support.
But Wen Xishu smirked:
"Suppose one of us deeply misses someone... and that person is knocking outside, what would you do?"
It's different from the imposter level.
Wen Xishu realized that each character in this game likely has their own story.
He kept paying attention to Doctor Chen Ming, who was as calm as he was.
Zhang Qiang was also problematic; the rules clearly didn't specify the cost of misjudgment, not saying it doesn't mean there's none.
Yet he was impatient, eager to kill everything outside the door.
Wen Xishu certainly remembers that this level is closely related to Aquarius.
In other words, in this level, his teammates might all be villains.
Perhaps their stories are scarier than the ghosts outside.
This is different from the imposter level, where he was the sole decider; in this level, Wen Xishu was just another voter.
Currently, there are three possible situations.
Complete opposition, and the person and ghost outside the door both die.
Complete agreement, the door opens, if it's human, they can enter, if it's a ghost, we're doomed.
There's also one situation, partial agreement, partial opposition.
What will happen in this situation?
Knock, knock, knock.
The familiar knocking sound brought Wen Xishu back to the Rokkasho Night.
The first knocker has arrived...
Clearly, some mysteries are about to be solved next.
