035, Game
None of the royal guards went to echo Dai Lao, but continued to hold their breath and stare at the bandage man. The assassin who held the bandage man with his stern flank, the man named Luo, said in a low voice, coldly-
"What do you mean."
"Haha, is this the way to ask people? If you are really sincere, you might as well put down your weapons, how about it?"
After thinking about it, everyone put away their weapons at the same time and took a step back. Even the assassin disappeared silently from behind the bandaged man, wrapped the cloak he had just thrown down, and stood in the crowd.
The bandage man sorted out the slightly messy bandage on his neck, and then, behind him, it began to freeze, and a staircase leading to a high altitude appeared. He walked up the stairs, and there was a crystal clear position at the end of the ice peak, like a throne. He sat down proudly on this ice throne, looking down at the people below.
"I want to tell you two things before I start."
In this circus tent that had been completely turned into an ice cellar, a voice full of contempt came from the heights.
"There are three people here. Two of them have already known each other, and the other is the flame stone master who originally belonged to our circus. He refused to participate in our plan and wanted to inform him, so he became one of the 'guests' tonight. But he knew too much. In order to prevent unnecessary trouble, I frozen his vocal cords and made him unable to speak."
Everyone looked at Li, and saw him shook his head nervously and opening his mouth to say something. But because his throat was already frostbite, he didn't know what he was talking about at all.
"But, such a guy still may be able to help you. What kind of help is it? Let everyone think about it for themselves."
"The second thing is the most important thing for you. That is, the 'methodoxy' in these three people cannot exist indefinitely. The poison is before midnight. In other words, you have less than two hours to save them. Once time passes, if the antidote is still not found, then these three people will...hehehe..."
"bump--!"
An explosion came from the bandaged man's throne. Broken ice chips fell from the sky, and everyone's eyes were also concentrated in the crowd. A man holding a guide gun and pointed at the throne.
"The Royal College Department of Science and Technology, Mr. Vinson D. Blaust. Your marksman is indeed very accurate. If you weren't aiming at my chair, but my head, I must have been splashing blood now."
The man with white hair facing the sky and glasses took a step forward, and the guide gun in his hand was still pointed at the bandage man tightly and said aloud-
"What the hell do you want to do!"
"Hey...what do I want to do?"
The bandage man supported his head with one hand on the throne armrest—
“i_www.piaotian.come.”
Sneered, through the layers of bandages, it reached everyone's heart.
"Everyone present is the elite of the Bucks Empire, and you are the hope of the future of this country. Moreover, you also swear allegiance to your country and willing to sacrifice your life for the Empire."
"But, can you really be as loyal and selfless as the oath says? How far can your sympathy and ties to your partners?"
The ice surface on the surface cracked, and a table made of ice slowly rose from below. There were many experimental containers on the ice table. Except for a large storage tank containing about one liter of light blue liquid, there were more than fifty small measuring cups, all of which were filled with some colorless and transparent liquid.
"As early as when the tent was frozen, I spread a toxin here. Now, everyone here has been poisoned, and they are all "method" like the Buck Princess. The antidote to unlock this poison is placed in front of everyone, and the only thing you need to do is to find the correct proportion of these two liquids."
"There are fifty measuring cups here, and the colorless liquid contained in each measuring cup is 13 ml. But these 13 ml of liquid alone cannot remove the toxins in your body. Only by mixing them with those blue liquids can the antidote be produced. However, the blue liquid itself also contains a very toxicity. Only when these two liquids are mixed in the correct proportion can they become an antidote. Otherwise, even if one milliliter or one milliliter is missing, it will become a deadly venom."
"In order to facilitate your choice and reduce your difficulties, I can tell you the colorless liquid to 13 ml. The specifications of blue liquid are one of the twenty-five choices from 1 ml to 25 ml. If you choose the right one, everyone will survive. If you choose the wrong one, then you can only welcome "sleep". How far can you do in these two hours? I sincerely hope here that you can choose the correct answer for the first time and then all of them will be rescued."
In the tent, there was silence again. Everyone looked directly at the glassware in front of them, looking at the colorless liquid and blue liquid, and fell into everyone's contemplation.
"Of course, you can also suspect that you are not poisoned at all, and these liquids are filled with toxins. My purpose is to trick you into drinking them. But the bad thing is that I can't prove what I said for a while. So, the power to trust me is in your hands. If you don't trust me, you would rather bet on a bet for two hours and you can sit in the audience and continue to enjoy the performance."
"So, please start now. I will sit here and watch. Finally, I would like to advise you, please be careful of the people around you. Because now, the threat they pose to you is greater than me."
"Remember, I now announce your only goal in this game. It is to find ways to save the people you want to save. Come on, don't be fooled by anything. The game... begin."
After finishing his words, the bandage man stopped talking. He sat peacefully on the throne of ice, looking down at the people below. Everyone below looked at each other. The clever ones had already guessed the malice hidden in this game. But even so, this malice still oppressed them and dared not do anything...
Twenty-five choices, twenty-four participants. In this case without any test venom instrument, the only way to determine which ratio is an antidote rather than a venom is to choose one of the twenty-five choices and drink it after mixing.
However, the chance of one in 25 is too low. Rather than the possibility of survival, the possibility of death will be greater! But in this way, one of the wrong choices can be removed, making the choices made by the remaining people easier! On the other hand, as long as one person makes the right choices, the remaining people can all be adjusted according to that choice and all survive.
In other words, the later you drink, the greater the success rate of choice. But before that, someone must try this low-probability choice to make "contribution" to others' ability to survive smoothly.
"This bastard is planning to distract us. Everyone, we must not be fooled by him."
Kane once again drew out his broadsword. In fact, no need for him to remind him, everyone here knew that this was a divisive plan. And after listening to the idiot’s explanation to him, Quinin finally understood the profound meaning of this conspiracy.
"Oh, so that's the case...not right! If you say that, wouldn't I be poisoned too?!"
The idiot nodded after thinking about it.
Quilin's expression immediately became extremely ugly. Her lips opened and closed. After a struggle of thought, she suddenly stood up from her hiding place, holding four flying knives in each hand, and was about to rush out with murderous intent!
Seeing that something was wrong, the idiot immediately took a step and grabbed her, and at the same time reached out to cover her mouth. If it were more powerful, Quinlin was certainly not an idiot's opponent. He was immediately pulled back to the shadow and hid again.
"Woo! Woo woo!!!"
The idiot had no choice but to cover her mouth and nose again, and wait until her breathing was rapid before letting go.
“…No need to hurry.”
After calming down, the idiot pointed to the stage below and said slowly—
"Someone will test it for us. Find the right antidote."
Quilin looked up and saw a very strong man who had already walked to the ice table first, picked up a measuring cup, poured out 17 ml of liquid from the storage tank next to it and mixed it into the cup, stirring it into 30 ml of liquid. But just when everyone was impressed by this strong man, the man did not drink it directly, but took the measuring cup and walked towards a 12-year-old girl hiding in the corner, carrying a yellow-haired hound.
"Child, your name is...Wendy, right?"
The little girl was wearing two ponytails and a black and white gothic skirt with lace piping. She was hugging her big yellow dog. After seeing the strong man coming over, she hurriedly hid behind the big yellow dog. On the contrary, the big yellow dog grinned, and her hair was standing upside down.
"My name is Wendy...Uncle...you...what are you doing?"
