Chapter 9: The Inconvenient Truth

After seeing these three words, everyone looked a little stunned.

"I drew 'Liar.'" Qixia said slowly, "But it doesn't matter whether this card is lifted or not, because it is not important."

He picked them up and casually dropped them in the middle of the table.

"If I am not mistaken, each and every one of you has a 'liar' in your hand."

No one moved. After a while, Officer Li asked, "So... Do you mean everyone was lying?"

"That's right." Qixia nodded, "You are smarter than I thought, and you have all added a little lie to your story to make it completely valid without affecting the plot logic."

Officer Li thought for a moment and seemed to think of something.

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

The crowd looked at Officer Lee again, not knowing why.

Officer Lee continued: "According to the rules, we can only survive together if we all choose the liar, but then the liar loses. So we..."

Doctor Zhao was the first to understand Officer Li's meaning: "You mean... We can vote any way we want because everyone is lying, and it becomes a "must-win game" where only the person voted dies?"

"That's right." Officer Li nodded, "Now the best plan is to concentrate all the votes on one person, so that the loss can be minimized, after all, the rest of the people can live..."

His words suppressed the atmosphere of the crowd to the extreme, but the goat's head did not make any movement.

In this light... They're just voting for one of them to die?

Qi Xia sighed helplessly, looked at Officer Li and said, "Officer, is it your hobby to interrupt others?" Does that give you a sense of accomplishment?"

"What do you call that?" Officer Li frowned and replied, "I'm trying to help you out, aren't I?"

"I don't need your help." Qixia said without hesitation, "Your ideas will kill everyone."

'What? Officer Li froze, "Why did I kill everyone?" Am I wrong? If everyone was lying, wouldn't any vote be valid?"

"Officer Lee, Goathead said, 'The rules are absolute,' and 'There is and only one liar,' do you remember?"

"This..." Sergeant Lee paused for a moment, recalling that the goat's head had indeed said these two words.

"I'm going to put it together for you now." Qi Xia said coldly, "In this game, it seems that the" liar "has a good chance of winning, because everyone feels that they are going to win, but if we vote randomly, all of us will die in the end."

Qiaojia Jin, sitting beside Qixia, touched his flower arm and said to himself: "Because we broke the" rules "..."

"Yes." Qi Xia nodded, "But the interesting thing about this game is that we can't infer whether the other side is lying, as lawyer Zhang said, we can only rely on whether the respective experience is contradictory to infer, but we are not a region at all, even if the things that happen are contradictory, there is no 100% certainty that the other side is lying."

Qi Xia looked at the crowd in deep thought, and then said: "The organizer" deliberately chose nine of us to sit here, which must have his purpose, that is to let us from a seemingly interrelated story, self-righteous to find the flaw."

"But is that really right? How do we know that someone is lying?" Qixia sneered, "In this game, the only 'liar' we can 100% confirm from the known clues is only this one person." What he said is completely different from where we are right now."

Qixia took the pen, "brush" on the paper to write "people and sheep" two words.

"I was wondering why goat Head would introduce us to such a strange name as' human sheep 'in the first place, which seemed unnecessary. Now that I think about it, it's part of the game."

They slowly turned their heads to look at the "man sheep", he still did not have any action.

Officer Lee was stunned, then shook his head. "Liar, I have a question. The goat-head rule is," Of all storytellers, one and only liar. "But he's not telling stories."

"No?" Qixia shrugged his shoulders, "I remember the goat head clearly said that he gathered us here to create a" God ", this is not a strange story?"

Officer Li silently bowed his head, he felt that Qixia said is very reasonable, but always feel where strange.

"But..." Dr. Zhao said, "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 open the cards and you're the only one who's a liar?"

"You can't be telling the truth." Qi Xia smiled wryly, looking a little desperate, "I also spent some time to verify this question, I not only know that you are lying, but also know where you tell lies."

He pushed his scratch paper forward, then looked at the sweet beside him: "Sweet. You were "working" in the car, with your head out, and the falling billboard really hit the car and made you unconscious?"

Sweet pressed her lips, afraid to speak.

"Qiao Jiajin, you fell from such a high place to the billboard, is it really just" lost consciousness "?"

Qiaojia strong silence.

"Teacher Xiao Ran, did you really dodge that speeding car with that child?"

Xiao Ran's eyes dodged for a moment.

"Dr. Zhao, in order to stabilize the environment, most of the brain operating rooms are built underground, but you said that the" ceiling "collapsed, and what does the ceiling in the basement collapse mean?"

Doctor Zhao turned his head to one 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 folded his hands and kept a blank face.

"Officer Lee, what make of car do you drive? Can you instantly put the seat down and free yourself from the shackles of the person behind you?"

Officer Li touched the red marks on his neck and stopped talking.

"Ringo, your ceiling has fallen in, too. But you said your studio is on a high floor. If the upper floors start to cave in, the whole building won't exist, right?"

Cystoids bowed their heads deeply.

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

"Everybody, let's face it, we're all dead, including me."
