Instance game: I signed a pact with the gods, and the gods accused me of cheating

"However, if the three of us can't beat him, we can just go and steal other people's pizzas!"

"I think number 8 is good, he's so skinny!"

"It must be easy to deal with. The three of us can grab the pizza from him, and I'll help you two grab the others..."

After saying that, Qin Shang suddenly laughed evilly twice and slowly got up from the ground.

The ferocious eyes fell directly on No. 8, who was struck by lightning and clenched the pizza in his hand tightly.

"No one else has eaten yet, so we have a chance. This burly guy deliberately snatched three slices of pizza, presumably to cause trouble and make us fight among ourselves. Now think about it, if I were the doctor conducting the experiment, the purpose of this round of experiments would be nothing more than to kill one person and test everyone's compliance, right?"

"If more than two or three players died at once, it would be a loss for him, too. After all, he'd lose two or three observation subjects and experimental targets. Who knows, the doctor might even stop the experiment at that point, and you'd hear it... The game requires the doctor's voice to come from the radio, not the electronic notification tone of the Divine Road."

"call!"

After saying that, Qin Shang remained in a half-squatting position, raised his head and swept his cold gaze over everyone in the field, making everyone feel as if they were being stared at by a snake or scorpion.

The strong man reacted most violently and wanted to hold Qin Shang down and knock him unconscious.

But he was stopped by the two guys next to him who didn't get the pizza.

"Share the pizza between us, or else..."

"Maybe there's a way to end the game without eating pizza!"

"That's a story for later. Now you have to share the pizza with us."

The two players, No. 1 and No. 5, became excited instantly and suddenly stared at the burly man with gritted teeth. As for everyone else, they all held tightly onto the pizzas they had grabbed.

At this moment, Qin Shang moved.

He grinned, revealing malicious intent.

"Number 8, I'm sorry!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed over and knocked No. 8 to the ground. The latter's face was full of grievance and anger.

Perhaps he didn't expect that No. 7 would repay his kindness with evil, and when he was desperate, he actually targeted himself. However, it was this action that forced No. 8 to make a choice.

Just as Qin Shang jumped and knocked him down, he stuffed the pizza into his mouth fiercely, then opened his arms and fought with Qin Shang...

Wow!

With the first person taking the lead, the expressions of the other players changed.

The next moment, Qin Shang violently spat out a mouthful of blood foam, kicked No. 8 away, and climbed up from the ground panting. His scarlet eyes looked at the others in the field; "No. 8 has already eaten his pizza, so I can only steal from the rest of you..."

After saying this, Qin Shang's deep gaze fell directly on a young girl.

It is hard to tell whether the girl with disheveled hair and dirty face is pretty or not. In this kind of environment, everyone looks as disheveled as beggars, and no one cares about appearance at all.

Seeing that she had become the target of Qin Shang, number 7, the girl hurriedly took two steps back.

"Number 3! Kill Number 3!"

"He has three pizzas. Just kill number 3 and give one to number 7."

Everyone doesn’t want to lose the right to choose, but at the same time they haven’t made the choice yet: whether to eat pizza now or be the one to give up eating pizza.

At this time, the strong man who had the most pizzas in his hands instantly became the target of everyone's criticism.

"You, you're right. Number 3's goal might be to cause us to fight among ourselves, resulting in several deaths and forcing the doctor to end the game."

"We, we'll help you kill number 3, so that each of the nine of us can share a pizza."

Immediately, the girl gritted her teeth and started to join in.

"Yes! That's right, we just need to kill No. 3..."

Hearing this, the eyes of No. 1 and No. 5, who had originally failed to grab the pizza, flashed, and they looked at No. 3 without any fear at all.

"Number 3, hand over the pizza!"

"The choice is ours."

"Yes, right now, neither the two of us nor number 7 have any pizzas, and you have three in your hand. Are you trying to cause trouble? Hand over the pizzas."

Then, except for the girl, the other players who got the pizza also began to waver and joined in.

"Number 3! Give them the pizza."

"Right... If you don't give it to them, their next target will be us. Are you the one that the doctor deliberately sent to cause trouble? Do you want to kill us?"

"Hand over the pizza, or we'll help those three take it from you!"

——【Bandit Effect】

——【Fool Resonance Theory】

There is always a group of people in this world who seem to be able to take care of themselves, so they are not discovered to be mentally retarded. However, in fact, their cognitive level is extremely low and they have no judgment ability of their own. Most of the time, once someone starts the rhythm, they will be led astray, and from the perspective of self-preservation, they will be selfish and attack hard.

Group Identity

In a high-pressure environment, the weak are prone to forming group boundaries of "us" vs. "him".

Every person Qin Shang targets is an individual.

They are also interested individuals.

If Qin Shang wanted to snatch the pizza from their hands, no one around them would help stop him.

After all, Qin Shang would stop as soon as he grabbed a slice of pizza.

But from the perspective of self-preservation, everyone may be Qin Shang's next target.

If there is a way to prevent oneself from becoming the target of Qin Shang's attack, and to win over the group to avoid the risk of being targeted, then most people will choose to follow the crowd.

The solution is to kill No. 3, the big, strong man, and give him the pizza.

It neither harms his own interests nor makes him a target of Qin Shang, and it appeases this vicious criminal.

This phenomenon is particularly common in the workplace.

For example, in a project, A and B have put in the same effort, but if the boss directly divides the credit equally between the two, at this time if one of them is dissatisfied with the distribution or the commission, the two will unite and develop resistance to the leader at the same time. Human nature is destined to never be satisfied!

At this time, if it is known that both of them have put in great efforts for the project and their contributions are equal, a mature boss will prefer an uneven distribution operation.

For example, A’s bonus may be doubled, but B is only given a simple verbal reward.

In this way, the conflict between A and B is formed. The greatest evil in the world is to worry about scarcity and inequality. B will feel that A has taken away his credit, and even think that A may have done something to cause him not to get the bonus this time. After paying so much, he only received verbal praise in the end?

Then you won't have time to wonder whether the stupid leader of the stupid company is deliberately messing with you. Instead, you will think that A has become your enemy and that it was A who caused you not to get the bonus. You are more likely to create a rift with A.

If the company is not satisfied with a job well done, you may become the target of concentrated attacks by employees.

But if they dislike each other and compete within the wolf culture, a lot of trouble in this regard can be reduced.

"[The Crowd Theory]"

"In a group, the cognitive abilities or behavioral standards of the majority of fools become the mainstream, and the minority of more intelligent or rational individuals may be marginalized because they are incompatible with the group..."

"At the same time, this group of people actually knew better than to mention that the strong man's behavior was fine. After all, no one was planning on actually eating pizza at this time. They just wanted to retain the right to make their own choices in order to avoid being targeted by a vicious person like me."

"But even so, they will choose to remain silent to protect their own interests."

"[The spiral of silence], at this point, most people choose to exclude the strong man, simply because of an implicit self-protection agreement. Even if others agree with the strong man's ideas, speaking up for him will only bring them trouble. This is a game of self-preservation. There's no need to provoke unnecessary enemies, so in the end, they will choose to remain silent and support the majority's actions."

Qin Shang's mind was filled with thoughts, but of course his expression remained calm. Instead, he sneered;

"Then why don't you take action?"

In order to protect their personal interests in the interests of the group, these people will invariably choose the public enemy...

Wow!

The next second, the girl who had just been targeted by Qin Shang took out a dagger like magic.

Then, he jumped up and rushed directly towards No. 3. The other players also stared at No. 3 at the same time.

This feeling is very familiar. It is probably a common famous scene in the movie that many people are curious about.

…The villain controlled a group of people with just a gun.

It was obvious that if these people rose up to resist, they could kill the villains at the cost of sacrificing one or two people at most. However, under the threat of guns, they all chose to protect themselves, and even started fighting among themselves at the villains' request. This is the [diffusion of responsibility] and [priority of fear of death].

“Fear…can trigger the collapse of ‘individual rationality’ against ‘group power’!”

They even forgot that Qin Shang was easier to kill than the strong man...

Then, the burly man roared angrily;

"stop!"

"You bunch of lunatics..."

puff-

Before he could finish his words, he just threw away a player who failed to grab the pizza, and he felt a chill on his back. A sharp pain came over him, and the strong man screamed with his eyes wide open.

The next second, he was held down by three people, and even No. 8 got involved.

Number 8 had clearly already eaten the pizza and didn't need to worry about Qin Shang snatching his pizza away.

Chaos breaks out!

A mass atrocity that crushes the individual is about to unfold.

Seeing this scene, Qin Shang also half-knelt down and his eyes began to move.

"Haha, that doctor and the experimenter are probably players, right? Otherwise, if the people conducting the experiment and observation were NPCs, they'd probably be curious by now."

"After all, how could I, a clearly loser, have the power to stir up public sentiment at a time like this? From an extremely rational perspective, shouldn't they be turning on me?"

Because I'm dead, the nine-point pizza can be split evenly...

But the result was just the opposite. After all, I was the loser... Isn't it normal that I didn't have pizza to eat? But why was I able to threaten everyone and cause them to engage in collective behavior?

"Because the strong man didn't threaten the interests of others...but I did!"

“People have a strong tendency to lock in their immediate vested interests!”

After saying that, Qin Shang answered to himself, licked his lips and sneered.

He got up from the ground and looked at the chaotic scene over there.

Probably estimating how long the strong man could hold on, he began to look around for traces of another wave of players.

In this instance, the role of the doctor is also played by the player...

Otherwise, it is difficult to draw conclusions about a certain effect.

At the very least, those of us with abnormal behavior should be called to the laboratory one by one for one-on-one talks.

I have shown several signs of this effect, and this is the best time to observe human behavior.

But the doctor didn't buy it at all.

Qin Shang's eyes rolled around, a gleam of light flashing across them.

Did he just want to see if we would have the courage to eat pizza under such high pressure? Was it a gambler's mentality?

This is the sure-win method Qin Shang came up with to gamble on whether he would be poisoned without having to eat pizza!

Now that the background board said it...this doctor is a crazy scientist who likes to do human behavior research.

The material just now is worth his special study.

I have already given you the topic you want to study!

At this time, rather than being obsessed with whether the players ate pizza, I think Dr. Herman was probably more curious about why a group of people, under my instigation, fell into chaos and attacked the strong man No. 3.

This thought finally came to Qin Shang's mind.

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded from the radio.

"That's it!"

Wow!

In an instant, the chandelier above the head became much darker.

The power supply is cut off.

The light in the entire room was swallowed up by shadows again, and more than a dozen people rushed in from all directions.

"finally come!"

Through the reflection, Qin Shang seemed to see that they were all wearing the same uniform, and the electric baton with blue light was thrown directly on the heads of several other players who were still fighting and did not stop, making them scream in pain.

Qin Shang couldn't help but squat down with his head in his hands subconsciously, for fear that he would be hit by the sticks and suffer the consequences.

Although I was the one who provoked them to fight, I didn't hit anyone...

At this moment, the ethereal electronic prompt tone of Shenlu suddenly rang in Qin Shang's ears.

[Hidden Tips from the Trickster: There will be Observers in the next round]

[Fraudster Hidden Mission: Find Dr. Allen Herman, who has infiltrated the next round of the game]

"Dr. Herman?!"

It seems that I have passed this game!
