Chapter 100 Human nature test

After the rules were announced, the countdown had begun, and the door that closed the altar was also opened to them.

There seemed to be a strong wind blowing outside. The strong wind blew through the window lattice, and a little bit came in through the gap. It was cool and the voice was sharp and long.

Everyone in the room started to talk and discuss the rules of the game. An Wu Jiu stood there quietly, without saying a word.

He could feel that after the experience of matching the wrong player just now, the people around him consciously avoided him except for his familiar companions.

For a moment, An Wujiu understood the meaning of that advice, if he is still alone at this moment, so conceited that he doesn't need any companions, now he will definitely become the target of public criticism.

In the silence, Shen Ti has already walked towards him. He doesn't care about the rules, and he doesn't take these games seriously, he only cares about peace and blame.

"I thought they couldn't match." Shen Ti's hand was naturally placed on An Wujiu's waist.

An Wu Jiu didn't care either, he just replied in a low voice, "Me too."

He was very puzzled about the mistakes in the altar. Although it was just a system written by a large group of humans, mistakes were inevitable, but he didn't understand, since people were already matched, why should they be changed?

And in exchange, it was Shen Ti who was impartial.

Wu You also came over, pulled Shen Ti's hand away, and stood between the two.

"Did that person meet you just now?" He asked An Wu Jiu.

An Wujiu shook his head, "I don't remember."

It looks like they have met him, but it is very strange that Yang Ming was also matched with himself at the beginning, and he was not kicked out from the altar.

and……

At that time, Yang Ming didn't seem to be afraid of himself. He even thought about revenge and wanted to get back with full revenge.

But when that person faced him just now, he had completely lost his will.

Thinking of the number marks on his body, An Wu Jiu always felt that this person was unusual.

Are they all modified products in some laboratory? Or, they were all put in for testing.

An Wujiu is not clear.

"What do you mean?" A person's voice was loud, which caught An Wu Jiu's attention.

It was the blue-haired girl who spoke, An Wu Jiu looked at her badge - Megan No. 5.

"You mean, even if we exceed his sacrifice quota, we won't get the money back?"

She was also facing an unfamiliar face to An Wu Jiao, a tall western man with a badge marked [Andrew No. 10].

Andrew nodded slightly, looking at the expression of a polite and sincere person, "I think so. If the money from these sacrifices will be returned to us, the Holy Voice will definitely explain, and he has already said that the conditions for determining the winner are The remaining money, presumably given out, cannot be recovered.”

"It's too dark."

"That is to say, no matter whether the total amount is reached or not, the money given will not be returned to us, just the difference between one with a reward and one without?" Lao Yu asked.

Andrew said: "I think so."

This idea immediately changed the situation on the field again.

This round has come, An Wujiu has more insight into human nature than before, there should be few people in this room who are self-serving type.

This game originally had a surefire way to win, and it was extremely simple.

But it's not necessarily a real implementation.

"Since it's anonymous, someone must give very little." Megan put her arms around her chest. "Maybe she won't give a penny."

Todo Sakura leaned against the wall, "Yeah, there is definitely no way to guarantee the final amount like this."

"This will never be a fateful game of luck," Lao Yu said.

Shen Ti is keen to stir up the muddy waters of the whole field, "Just cast as much as you want, as much as you want."

Nan Shan is still smiling, "Actually, it's right, it's a warm-up match anyway, and it's not life-threatening, so don't worry too much."

"It's easy for you to say." Megan snorted, "This is different from the previous warm-up games. If you lose before, you will lose, and if you win, you will have an advantage. But this round doesn't talk about winning or losing, and you may accidentally lose. Lost a lot of money. Those points are all we've worked so hard for with our lives."

Shen Ti shrugged, "It's normal to seek wealth and wealth at risk."

Noah, who was ignored by everyone, observed around the room, and then came to the place where everyone gathered, and said softly: "Brothers and sisters, don't you think it's a bit weird here?"

As soon as the voice fell, the kerosene lamps hanging on the four walls of the room shook at the same time, but did not go out.

An Wu Jiu glanced at the ceiling, the blue fire of the altar reflected, like a ghost fire, illuminating the middle, it was like a rare and bright blue gem mine, everyone went for profit Come in and be buried here.

The dark shadows of everyone floated on it, and they seemed to melt into a ball, blurred and twisted, clinging to the lime wall, like vines with minions, and like the tide that engulfed the moonlight.

These shadows are moving, like living things.

But when he actually looked up at this piece of ceiling, the shadow turned back to a shadow.

As if all he saw was an illusion.

It seems that Noah has found something wrong here.

Warm-up games are generally the preface to the official game, a precursor. I am afraid that this official game is also in this weird and weird atmosphere, and it also tests people's hearts.

"What's so weird?" Old Yu said to Noah, "Don't scare yourself."

They ignored the child's words and continued to discuss the matter of sacrifice. Everyone said something, everyone had different opinions, and everyone focused on their own interests and sought the best way.

So there was a lot of debate.

"I'm a little sleepy."

An Wu Jiu heard Shen Ti's voice, which was very low, he turned his face and looked up at him, seeing his sleepy expression, he looked a little out of spirit. So An Wu Jiu patted his shoulder, "You are next to me, lean on me?"

In an instant, he forgot his original purpose of keeping a distance, not reporting to the group and not attracting attention. He simply assumed that he was already the person with the greatest threat and the lowest credit in the audience, so he might as well do whatever he wanted.

Hearing what he said, Shen Ti was stunned for a second, then smiled and rubbed the top of his hair.

He could see that facing these life and death trials, An Wu Jiu was not as tense as before.

"Forget it." He said with a smile, "I hope there will be a bed in the game later, so I can hold you to sleep."

An Wu Jiu thought of the first copy he encountered in his mind.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly involuntarily.

He deliberately teased Shen Ti: "Then you can sacrifice more for a while, and let God bless you."

Wu You was a little worried, it seemed that An Wu Jiu didn't intend to take part in the game properly, so he turned his head again, the tricky Zhou Yijue he met in the last game didn't even say a word at this moment.

He wanted to ask An Wujiu what he was thinking when suddenly, Wu You heard a voice.

"I have a way."

It's the same Andrew from before. He was surrounded by people, "This method will definitely make each of us a winner."

"Really?" Megan raised her eyebrows, "What can I do?"

"It's actually very simple," Andrew's eyes seemed to be shining with the light of justice, "each of us sacrificed 4,000, and the total was just 48,000, and everyone could get a reward of 5,000, so We still have a thousand leftovers each, and at the same time, we are the winners of the warm-up match, and we all share the victory.”

After he finished speaking, the other people's reactions were as expected by An Wu Jiao, and they didn't buy it.

"I thought it was a good idea."

"Isn't that the average score?"

Zhou Yijue, who had not spoken all the time, walked over with a smile, "I think this method is good. There is an old saying in Chinese people.

Wu You snorted coldly and whispered in a low voice, "How can you be so kind."

Nan Shan smiled and winked at him.

Wu You didn't continue to complain.

For no reason, An Wu Jiu felt that he was being watched, so he looked at the other end of his line of sight, meeting someone's eyes.

It was the middle-aged oriental man with his message on the badge—No. 11, Yang Ce.

Seeing him turn his face, Yang Ce looked away calmly.

"This method is not bad," Lao Yu said to Andrew, "Of course the average score is the most correct and reasonable, but only one person can enter at a time, and each of us can't see how many sacrifices the others have sacrificed. Guarantee that everyone is four thousand?"

Todo Sakura nodded in agreement, "Yes, does it depend on everyone's integrity and determination?"

"I think everyone wants to win together, and they shouldn't do things that hurt others and themselves at such a time."

Andrew has a sense of justice all over his body, which is quite contrary to these people in this place, "If we must prevent this from happening, I think... Otherwise, although going in is an anonymous vote, but if we are in The work is done outside, and only the last person goes in and puts in all the sacrifices, isn't it the same?"

Yang Ce, who had been staring at An Wujiu just now, spoke at this time, his voice was very low, it was easy to think of a cello.

"This approach is too risky." Yang Ce said, "Everyone can transfer the money to a fixed person under the supervision of each other, but that person must enter behind this door, what he will do, what will he give? How much sacrifice, none of us know, what if he is blinded by greed for a while? If he forgets his mission and betrays everyone behind the door, then everyone will lose Four thousand points."

"Yeah." Meghan was the first to stand on Yang Ce's side. "Everyone is not familiar with it. How to choose this person is also very difficult."

"Everyone, sorry to bother you, I'm afraid there is another problem."

An Wu Jiu followed the prestige, it was the NPC who helped them last time, his number and name were written on his badge - No. 12, Mori Matsuura.

"The rules of the game seem to say that everyone must enter the altar to make sacrifices. If we transfer the points to others outside and let others help us enter it and pay for it, I don't know if the points paid in the end are counted in the original holdings. In the hands of the people, or in the hands of the payers.”

Tengtang Ying suddenly said, "Yes, this is a big problem. It stands to reason that the points will be transferred to others. If you pay so much, it will not be counted in our expenditure, then we will pay zero, and the remainder of the payer will be It's a negative number, and it's unfair to the payer."

If the payer makes all the sacrifices, he will become the last one, but if the payer hides it and fails to pay it, everyone will be in trouble again.

"Why don't you give it to yourself?" Wu You said, "The big deal is that everyone sign an agreement, how about it?"

Andrew took a deep breath, "Everyone, I believe that you all want to achieve the most balanced results. If we all win, we can all win together, no matter the format or advantage, isn't that great?"

An Wu Jiu looked at him through a few people, feeling like he saw the extreme kindness side in the earliest days.

It's just that the person in front of him is more willing to emit light and heat than him.

"I know that you have distrust of each other now. As long as we pass this level, it's fine. If you want, you can sign the agreement. It doesn't matter if you don't want to. It's all up to you. Each of us sacrificed four thousand , this is the best solution for now.”

There was not much time, everyone looked at each other in dismay, and no one responded for a while.

Zhou Yijue was the first to open his mouth with a smile, "Andrew's words are indeed very reasonable, and from the bottom of his heart, of course I agree."

"I can too, only four thousand." Wu You said.

Matsuura Mori also stepped forward, "I agree too."

Gradually, those who initially opposed the equal-sharing scheme loosened up.

They look different, but they are all full of thoughts, their brains turn fast, and their mouths deserve fast.

An Wu Jiu stared at Zhou Yijue and saw that he was like a duck in water among a group of people, pretending to be a perfect and pure good person.

In fact, this game is not a game at all, and you don't need to use too much brains, it's just a foreshadowing.

Among the sacrificers, the more bright and righteous they are, the more likely they are to gain the support of others, and vice versa.

If the episode with the wrong match did not occur, An Wu Jiu would have been willing to stand up for his comrades and make suggestions for everyone, but now there is no need for that.

Everyone agreed one by one and stepped forward. It was too late to draw up an agreement, and the rules and regulations had to be discussed again, so everyone could only agree verbally.

Zhou Yijue turned his head and stared at An Wujiu with narrow and upward eyes, "What about you? Mr. An, a reasonable person like you will definitely agree to our plan."

An Wu Jiu also smiled back at him, "Of course."

Time was running out, Andrew once again emphasized the importance of unity among everyone, and then came to An Wujiu's side, "You are the number one, you have to be the first to enter."

Instead of putting the defensiveness on his face like the others, he was very enthusiastic.

"please."

An Wujiu nodded.

One minute left.

After he left, An Wujiu and Shen Ti looked at each other, although they didn't speak, they were both convinced that the other understood what they meant.

"Let Wu You help convey it, including that person."

Zhou Yijue, who was not far away, watched what An Wujiu said to Shen Ti, then walked towards the door in front of the altar, his face was the same as before, there was not much expression on his face, a face that a born gambling expert should have .

As he stood in front of the altar, the door slammed shut.

Wu You kept staring at the door until Shen Ti tapped his shoulder and motioned him to come over.

Shen Ti lowered his head and whispered a few words to Wu You.

"Go and tell you Brother Nanshan."

Wu You glared at him and doubted what he had just told him, "Really do this?"

Shen Ti just shrugged.

Wu You struggled several times, but still told Nanshan and Noah.

He wanted to even say it to Tengtang Ying, but she was always on Zhou Yijue's side, so she didn't have the time.

An Wujiu came out very quickly, people outside saw him and it was hard to ask around, but An Wujiu himself said first: "After entering, there will be a projection option, fill in the number of sacrifices to be sacrificed. , that's it."

So the others also entered one by one in order, the second one was Lao Yu, the third one was Tengtang Ying, and the fourth one was Zhou Yijue...

The sacrificial game was officially over until Matsuura Mori, number 12, came out of the sacrificial room.

"Just... so simple?" Megan always felt weird, feeling that this warm-up match was too simple.

"The results should be announced." Lao Yu looked at the ceiling.

Not long after, the holy sound arrived as scheduled.

"The sacrifice is over, and the results will be announced soon."

An Wu Jiu's face was expressionless, even Wu You, who was nervous at the beginning, is not nervous anymore.

"The sacrifice failed."

The result announced by Shengyin caused an uproar in the audience.

"Who didn't give enough?" Lao Yu looked in the direction of An Wu Jiu, "It's you, right!"

An Wu Jiu's indifferent and indifferent face was gradually stained with a smile, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, with a friendly and kind look.

"How could it be?" His tone was light, in contrast to the old and firm accusation.

"It was agreed that I would donate 4,000. Of course, I did it according to the agreement."

Lao Yu has experienced the copy of red and black, so naturally he does not believe in An Wu Jiao.

But he has no proof.

"Holy Voice! Announce the number of sacrifices for each person!"

His request was echoed by Andrew, "That's right, we're asking for disclosure."

But Shengyin refused.

"The rules are already clear, this is an anonymous sacrifice. I can only disclose the total for everyone."

After speaking, a number appeared above the altar.

It was only 20,000 whole.

"Twenty thousand?"

Andrew frowned, his eyes full of surprise, "Why..."

"Someone must have betrayed us!" Megan was puzzled. "Why doesn't the altar tell us the number of each of us? It's unreasonable."

"Maybe..." Zhou Yijue said softly, "This is a lesson for us, let's not trust others." He sighed, "It doesn't matter, that is, if you lose a little points, you will not be in danger after all."

"Points?" Lao Yu was furious, turned around, took two steps forward and grabbed An Wu Jiu's collar, "You did it, I know."

An Wujiu is not annoyed, "It's over."

"you!"

"Even if I really didn't give it, think about it." An Wujiu said calmly, "20,000, according to the agreement, at most five people chose to sacrifice, and the remaining seven people are zero."

"Lao Yu, I'm afraid I'm not the only one you're looking for."

Shen Ti grabbed Lao Yu's wrist and squeezed it hard, with a smile on his face, "Calm down, old man."

Lao Yu had to let go.

Once bitten, twice shy.

Apart from An Wujiu, he didn't have any other suspects in his mind.

An Wu Jiu straightened his collar and raised his drooping eyes to meet Andrew.

These had long been expected by An Wu Jiao.

It is indeed like what Zhou Yijue said, "not suffering from widowhood but suffering from unevenness", but in this case, what everyone wants is not 4000, but 0.

Everyone pays the equivalent of 4,000 points, which is actually an extreme case.

No one could guarantee that there would not be even a single traitor among them. As long as this traitor appeared, even if he only sacrificed 3999, the game would still be a failure.

Even if there are people who sacrifice themselves and give more than 4,000 sacrifices, it will only be the traitor who does not abide by the agreement to win the only victory, because only the traitor who pays less will have more balance.

The more selfish you are, the more likely you are to win.

Driven by this victory condition, no matter how kind people are, they will definitely be shaken once there are distrustful and unfamiliar people in the group.

If I give 4000, what about the others? In case one doesn't keep the promise.

Isn't this 4000 worthless?

Under the influence of this kind of thinking, the game is doomed to fail.

Even if there are multiple devotees among the crowd, who are willing to pay several times more points than others to make sacrifices, this is not the first round of the game. Triggered.

Honestly keep the promises in the team, waiting for a slim victory in extreme cases, maybe 4,000 points will be lost because of the betrayer.

If you take the initiative to betray other people and choose zero sacrifice, you will not lose a penny at all.

But do not suffer from widowhood and inequity.

I can't get a winner, and neither can anyone else.

The greatest balance victory is no victory.

From the time the altar announced the rules, An Wu Jiu knew it in his heart. He didn't say a word, just wanted to observe the logic of other people's behavior on the field.

He is also very clear that in this game, if he keeps his promise and pays 4,000 or more, Zhou Yijue will definitely make zero sacrifices.

Moreover, he will inevitably count this betrayal on his own head.

Rather than that, An Wu Jiu might as well give up the sacrifice, at least not lose points and make the accusation of betrayal.

Not only him, but he also wants others to choose zero sacrifices to reduce losses.

Now that there are 20,000 sacrifices, An Wu Jiu thinks, Andrew himself should have given a lot more, otherwise it won't reach 20,000 at all.

Facing his losses, An Wu Jiu felt unhappy in his heart, perhaps because he was very similar to himself at the beginning, or perhaps he couldn't bear to see a sincere idealist gradually burn out the fire in his heart.

"Did you tell him?" An Wu Jiu asked Wu You.

"Said." Wu You looked at Andrew, "He doesn't agree."

He only asked Wu You to tell Andrew that all zero sacrifices are the real solution to this game.

But he doesn't seem to accept it, he believes in the good and trustworthy side of human nature.

An Wujiu had to let go, he saw disappointment, struggle, injustice and unacceptable in Andrew's face, but the reality is this, he has shown a way for Andrew, even though it is muddy.

"The warm-up match is over." Shengyin announced the end of the game, "There is no winner in this round of warm-up match, which means that no player has been rewarded."

"Therefore, the system will choose the format for you in this round of the official game."

After speaking, the flames on the altar instantly became high, almost burning to the ceiling. The silver-blue color of the heart of the flames was extremely beautiful, and the fluttering flames were like the dancing blue dresses of gypsy girls, spinning and flying.

Two lines of bloody words appeared above the flames.

[Team format, dark team

Official game: Rite of the Blood Moon]

An Wu Jiu turned his head back intuitively, a window suddenly appeared on the originally closed wall, the frozen glass revealed the night sky stained by wind and snow, and a blood-red full moon hung high outside the window lattice.

"The pilgrimage journey has started again. I wish you a happy journey."

Volume 9 The Rite of the Blood Moon
