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

Hearing this, the young man was stunned for a moment. In addition to fear and hesitation, his eyes gradually became more thoughtful.

Probably he began to think about what Qin Shang said.

I wanted to interrupt him several times from a distance, but what Qin Shang said was indeed correct.

In this game, someone really has to die.

I don't want him to kill people to snatch the oxygen cylinders from other people, but I don't want to die either, so this may be the fairest way. If I die in the game, I will accept it. It's my own curiosity that made me run to find him.

If only I hadn’t answered that call!

I sighed slightly.

"Using my proposed plan, from each of our perspectives, as long as the poison gas appears in the early carriages, we each only have to gamble once. This is far better than you having to worry every round about the 50% chance of poison gas in the next carriage and whether you should bring an oxygen tank. What if there's no poison gas, then you've wasted an oxygen tank. But what if there is in the next round? Wouldn't that be a huge loss? You clearly haven't used up your oxygen tank yet, but because you scared yourself and hesitated, you ended up saving the oxygen tank when you had it for later use, and ended up dying in a certain carriage. Isn't that quite frustrating?"

"So, precisely because of this mentality, I bet you'll continue to use up your oxygen tanks in the first five rounds... This will actually make you fall into the trap set by the game design."

Qin Shang raised his hand with a playful smile, as if he had already put life and death aside, not caring about the possibility of death at all, and not even worried about the possibility of death himself;

"In the first round, you and that woman will wear oxygen cylinders. If I die in the first round, you'll only use up two oxygen cylinders, which means there will be thirteen left. Each of you will have four, and you can take the five that remain after I die."

"So you have thirteen oxygen cylinders."

"As long as the last of the next seven carriages doesn't contain poison gas, each of you will have six or seven, and you can easily pass this game."

"Do you accept my proposal?"

bang-

As soon as he finished speaking, the train shook violently.

The train is about to start. Players will initially land in the first carriage. Please choose whether to wear a gas mask and oxygen tank.

At this moment, a cold electronic prompt tone played from the loudspeaker.

I couldn't help but feel a little startled, and subconsciously grabbed the food cart next to me. As a result, a new information bar popped up in the bright blue attribute panel in front of me.

[Prop name: Overlooking the cart]

[Effect of the teacher's professional skill "Overlooking"]

[Overlooking; eavesdropping on the thoughts of other Divine Path players]

Then, before I could scream and ask what was going on, a voice fell into my ears.

"If we follow Qin Shang's words, if he doesn't wear a mask in the first round, and the woman named Jiang Qiqi and I wear masks, then the first round will consume two oxygen cylinders. In the second round, the woman doesn't wear one, and Qin Shang and I will consume two oxygen cylinders. In the third round, I don't wear one, and they will consume two oxygen cylinders. The same is true for the fourth round. Qin Shang doesn't wear one, and Jiang Qiqi and I will wear them, consuming two. In the fifth round, Jiang Qiqi doesn't wear one, and Qin Shang and I will wear them, consuming two...hiss, by the end of the fifth round, I will only have one oxygen cylinder, and they will each have two."

"I can't bring my oxygen tank with me during the sixth round. If there's poison gas in the sixth round, I'll definitely die, and I'll leave one oxygen tank for them. Whoever takes my oxygen tank will have a 100% chance of surviving the game."

"No, assuming there really wasn't any poison gas in the early stages, then I'd be at a disadvantage. I'd have to switch with that woman named Jiang Qiqi. No, that's not right. This... I'm still thinking about that guy named Qin Shang. I have to think of a way. Qin Shang's idea is feasible if there really was poison gas in the first three rounds. However, I really have to take off my mask in the third round. I'm a little scared, but the oxygen cylinder is in my hand, and it seems Qin Shang won't be able to take it away from me in the third round."

"Let's do this. In the third round, we'll follow Qin Shang's instructions. Then, in the fourth round, Lun will directly express my refusal to continue cooperating with them. By then, they'll still have six oxygen cylinders, and I'll still have three. I wore oxygen masks in the first and second periods, but not in the third. Doesn't that mean I still have three?"

"But there are still six cars left. These two people might continue with the stupid trick they used just now and take turns wearing oxygen masks. After all, if I put on a broken jar attitude, I will definitely die, but if one of them does not sacrifice himself, then they will not survive. In order for one of them to survive, in order to make sure that the one who survives is themselves, they will definitely continue with the method they used just now. In this way, one of them will definitely die in a subsequent round. Anyway, starting from the third round, except for the third, fourth, and fifth rounds, I have been wearing a mask. My oxygen mask can take me to the sixth round. Even if the sixth, seventh, and eighth cars are full of poisonous gas, I can survive to the sixth round. In the sixth round, one of them will definitely die. At that time, I can just snatch the oxygen cylinder from the dead guy."

A voice fell into my ears, and I couldn't help but be shocked.

Is this Li Jinyu's inner voice?!

Looking at Li Jinyu who was pushing up his glasses not far away with a harmless look on his face.

My expression was twisted into a knot.

"I promise you!"

At this moment, Li Jinyu smiled and nodded at Qin Shang.

I almost blurted out, "You're a despicable villain! Qin Shang, don't agree to him."

But when the words were on the tip of my tongue, I saw Qin Shang with a slightly raised lip corner and a look of planning a strategy on his face, and I swallowed the words back into my throat. If this man had really read this comic, which also mentioned the God Road game and the like, maybe he knew how to play this game.

After all, according to what he said, if we were people from the comic world, then our two male and female protagonists should have the halo of the protagonist, right?

What the hell was I thinking!?

It's crazy.

【Countdown, five seconds! 】

"I agree to your proposal, but for the first round, I choose not to wear a mask, and you wear oxygen masks. That way, if I die in the first round, you can easily pass the rest. Of course, I will wear it for the second and third rounds. After that, the second round will be Miss Jiang, and the third round will be you, Mr. Qin Shang!"

"This way I'll be the safest person. As long as there's no poison gas in the first round, I can wear a mask for the next two or three rounds, and they'll follow the agreed rules, consuming at most two per person. In the fourth round, it's my turn to continue without a mask, so I'll give up on continuing with the agreed method. This way, I'll still have three oxygen cylinders in my hand, enough to last until the sixth round. Besides, there's no guarantee that no one will die in the first three rounds. Maybe one of them will die in the second round? I'll be much more comfortable then. Anyway, if either of them dies in the first round, it'll benefit me. If no one dies later and it's my turn in the second round, I can also choose to give up and not continue playing this way."

"Oh, yes, the hint just now also mentioned that the first carriage is one of the eight carriages. So it's obvious that there is no poison gas in the first carriage, otherwise we would have been poisoned to death when we appeared here!"

Li Jinyu's voice kept coming to my ears.

Looking at that boy with glasses whose lenses were as thick as the bottom of a bottle made me feel a little creepy.

"Okay, no problem."

Qin Shang was slightly surprised. In fact, he never consulted me for countermeasures during the whole process.

But I kept communicating with Li Jinyu in a deliberately loud voice, so I knew his plan and felt that only by doing so could the losses be minimized.

"Please wear a mask, Miss Jiang!"

The next moment, I glared fiercely at the harmless male college student over there, then picked up the mask at hand, put it on, and inserted the oxygen cylinder into the side.

Just as I completed all these actions, there was a sudden jet sound coming from the top of the car.

Large streams of atomized gas, accompanied by white smoke, fell directly into the carriage.

My eyes widened, and only then did I realize what Li Jinyu meant by his last sentence.

I thought this section was a separate carriage and not counted in the game...

The game of eight carriages will start from the next section.

The mist instantly filled my eyes, and my vision turned into a vast expanse of white. I lost everything in front of me and couldn't see anything.

Just then, a "thump" sound came from not far away, as if something hit the ground. I widened my eyes in fear, but there was still fog in front of me and I couldn't see anything. In the anxious waiting, about a minute passed, and a window seemed to be opened.

Large amounts of thick smoke seemed to have found an outlet and poured out from that window, and then I saw other scenes in the car.

I saw a man fall to the ground, foaming at the mouth, with fear and shock still on his face. He stretched his neck as if trying to stretch his body several times longer. In fact, his neck was no longer the same length as normal. The skin on his face was soft and weak, and there was no other expression on his face except the word "pain". His glasses fell not far away.

"Thank you for the gift of nature!"

Qin Shang just stared blankly at the corpse on the ground, then slowly took off the mask on his head.

He clasped his hands together, squatted down and took away the oxygen cylinder beside Li Jinyu, and sighed.

I was stunned.

Li Jinyu...is dead!

Died in the first round of this game, right at the beginning!

"Is this your plan? Did you know there would be poison gas in the first carriage?"

"What?"

Hearing this, Qin Shang immediately turned his head and looked at me with a confused look on his face. Seeing this expression, I thought I had misunderstood him, but his next words made me truly feel the horror of this man.

"Don't you see?"
