Chapter 53 Black and White Buttons

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...

If the Zhong Yirou who called for help was real, he wouldn't be able to last long with her current physical strength if he didn't act now.

If it wasn't for Zhong Yirou, it was just a pretense to lure them into action, but if he took a step away, everything would be over, and the three people inside might be in real danger.

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

If he goes to rescue, if he is deceived, the fate of the seven people will likely be ruined in his hands.

But if she doesn't go, if it's the real Zhong Yirou, she will definitely be dragged away and leave this block if danger occurs, which is also a failure.

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.

Nan Shan on the side tried to control his peach wood sword, but the peach wood sword just flew up, as if it was blocked by something, unable to move forward.

"Wu You..."

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

"Are you really Zhong Yirou!"

"Roast...roast 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 failed."

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

"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.

"It's troublesome."

He decisively left the square he was in and ran towards Zhong Yirou, "Zhong Yirou, wait for me, I'm here."

He remembered that she was in the northwest corner.

Nan Shan also seemed to have moved her position, "Be careful, I've also passed by."

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

Through the diffused red mist, 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 was not here, it was 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 Nan Shan'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 Wu Jiu again, but he struggled very painfully, because he was caught by Nan Shan. trapped by the spell.

"He was really 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 and did not respond. So he sniffed her breath.

Fortunately, nothing major happened.

"Nanshan..." Josh pointed to the fake An Wugui in the golden light talisman, "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 his tongue was sealed, so he opened his 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 No. 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 intention, "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, and he felt a little weird.

Could it be that if the mission fails, only the people inside will have an accident?

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

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 in the near future. "

Wu You's hanging heart fell heavily for a moment, and his 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 companions?"

"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 still supported Zhong Yirou without hesitation and walked towards the open door.

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

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

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

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

Everyone ignores my existence, even if I die no one cares. "

He didn't continue talking, the cold white light was on that clean profile face.

In the end, Wu You walked in directly.

Josh hesitated, and Nan Shan thought it was normal.

Going 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 better, right?"

Josh didn't struggle for too 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 appeared again: "Wow, you are so kind, and one came in without landing. This has never happened before."

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

The four walls of this room seemed 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 there are three of them here.

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

Rabbit gave a sharp laugh.

"You are so impatient at such a young age.

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

Saying that, four huge metal robotic arms appeared in front of them, grabbing the four of them at an extremely fast speed. The metal knuckles were almost twice as thick as human arms, and they tightly clamped their waists. Unable to move.

Just when 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 bed.

Everyone's body was bound with straps, and there was no room for escape. More delicate robotic arms appeared, with electrodes on the top, appearing in pairs, aimed at their temples and the top of their heads.

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

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

Rabbit smiled, "Is 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. Now, you will be very awake, more awake than ever."

With that said, the robotic arms with electrodes gradually approached, the tips hitting their scalps and temples heavily.

"Because you will experience unprecedented pain."

The more the rabbit laughed, the more frantic 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.

It was so painful that fainted, and didn't wake up at the end of the game. "

Even though the electrodes weren't actually energized, they seemed to be feeling the pain.

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

When you feel unbearable, you can also choose to press the button, so that the shock you receive 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."

Rabbit chuckled.

"Then, good luck to you."

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.

The piercing pain is like a snake, piercing his scalp and his brain through electrodes, as if trying to gnaw and drain all his brains, it hurts, and it hurts unexpectedly.

His fingers gripped the operating table tightly.

"Hold on for a while..."

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

Every crevice in the bone is filled with the pain of electric breakdown.

"Wow, that's amazing."

"It's been time."

Trapped in an airtight metal room, An Wu Jiao quietly waited 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 and the others?"

The long-silent rabbit finally spoke: "Don't be so nervous, these kind angels will not die, they are just devoting and sacrificing for your progress."

This description makes An Wugui feel sick.

It's like forcing young lives to make sacrifices for the so-called "future of mankind".

"What the hell are you going to do?"

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

"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 outbursts of pain from your companions outside. Screaming and begging for mercy, but can't hear anything 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 do gene editing to our friends out there, and even to the kids in the entire shelter, to simply knock out genes that we think are harmful. Of course. , you may think, whatever, this is just the game of the altar."

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

"Don't forget, your nerves are already connected to this game. Even if your companions are lucky enough to survive and become survivors, the knocked-out gene will block some small but important cranial nerves."

This is what Rabbit meant by "incomplete" in the beginning.

An Wu Jiu'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 mournful cry, An Wujiu forced himself to calm down.

In any case, giving up thinking is the first step toward 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."

Just as the rabbit said these words, a white box slowly appeared on the metal wall in front of An Wujiu, the transparent box lid was opened upwards, inside were two circular buttons, one black and one white, the black top YES is printed, while white is NO.

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

The bottom edge of the box had a small piece of wire exposed, An Wujiu wondered if this might be connected to the source of their pain outside.

Rabbit continued, "I will ask you this question 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, two of you chose to knock out, If one person chooses negative, the result of this round is set as YES, and the minority obeys the majority, which is fair.”

An Wu Jiu doesn't understand, if this is the case, everyone will definitely choose not to knock them 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 the only rules."

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

"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 person chooses not to knock it out, then the door lock of the player Shen Ti will be unlocked.

C. If one chooses to knock it out and the two 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?"

The rabbit said as a matter of course: "Then repeat the unlocking. If B is in this situation several times, then keep opening Shen Ti's door. If you repeat it again, you will waste one more opportunity to open the door."

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

"After seven questions, you will get seven answers. Knock out or not. In this way, the minority obeys the majority. If most of the seven answers are YES, then I'm sorry."

The rabbit gave a weird laugh, "I can't hear each other's voices, I can't discuss it, I can't see each other's faces, I don't even know what kind of answer the other party gave this round, I can only hear the miserable screams of my friends. Sound, is 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.

It is not only necessary to ensure that the door lock is opened, but also to ensure that the final result after seven rounds must be NO, otherwise the four people outside will suffer irreversible damage.

An Wu Jiu really wanted to know what kind of state of mind Shen Ti was in at this moment, whether he was tortured 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 stamina is limited. If it is the same as the previous people, they may not be able to. Until the seventh round."

A huge countdown appeared in front of An Wujiu.

"In 60 seconds, tell me your choice."

An Wu Jiu closed his eyes and started to think from other people's perspective.

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 out. This way of choosing can not only reach an agreement, unlock Yang Erci's door lock, but also strive for the first [ do not knock out] results.

He believed 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, with 40 seconds left, he made his choice very 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.

When An Wu Jiu heard the applause, he unconsciously frowned.

It was applauding, as if watching a wonderful performance.

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

And 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 them out. I will do what I say, and unlock Yang Erci's door now."

New words scrolled across the box display.

[Player Yang Erci's door lock 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, making people uncomfortable. "There are still six opportunities to answer, take good care of them. Their fate, And your own destiny is in this simple yes and 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 extreme pain it was to make Wu You, who is good at patience and silence, make such a voice.

He was still an immature 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 Wu Jiao thought 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 NOs, the final result can only be to repeatedly unlock Yang Erci's door.

Thus they wasted 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 unlocking his own door.

Or two knockouts, one not knocked out, although there will be a knockout result, but there are still five chances, enough to move back to the situation, as long as the three of them can be fully unlocked, the next few answers will definitely be three. A NO, because freedom has been ensured.

So this time, as long as Yang Erci's door is not opened repeatedly, everything still has a chance.

If you want to not repeat, there must be a person's choice to be 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.

Do not.

An Wu Jiu thought again, if he can think of this, other people will definitely think that, whether it is Shen Ti or Yang Erci, they are not so simple people, they must be able to guess this situation, maybe they will consider choosing YES and doing that balancer.

But in this way, it is very likely that the three candidates will choose YES.

Choose NO, choose not to knock out...

A voice kept appearing in his heart, as if trying to persuade him.

What if they both want to choose NO to balance?

"Five seconds left." Rabbit reminded very kindly.

An Wu Jiu finally stretched out his hand, pressed the black button, and chose YES.

When the time came to zero, 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 worth celebrating.

[YYY]

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

[Player Yang Erci's door lock has been unlocked! ]

"I answered twice, and the result was a draw."

Rabbit paused, and spoke softly amid cries and pain.

"Five more chances, good luck!"
