Consuming lifespan to draw rewards, I'm invincible in the apocalypse!

But it wasn't actually exchanged.

Their correct option remains to directly manipulate the points earned on the shoulder tower!

but.

Even though Wang Ling put forward these ideas, he still felt that the chances were slim.

Because when she shared her guesses with people outside the private room.

Ji Chen from the gold faction will also find out!

Their alliance and cooperation among the six major factions simply cannot avoid the Golden Faction!

So even if she guesses right, Ji Chen will still take action!

Their collaboration will still fail!

Therefore, even if the key X is confirmed.

Wang Ling's face showed little joy, instead remaining gloomy and dejected.

but!

Jiang Yi looked at her and said—

"Our ideas are in sync."

"I also think that the 'identity swap' mentioned in the announcement is just a pretext; the identity of the shoulder unit has not been swapped."

"But I've thought of something deeper than you—"

"If Jianlou's identity wasn't swapped, then whose identity did Ji Chen switch to when he used [Identity Swap]?"

Wang Ling originally thought—

Since it's just a facade, it should be possible to change it however you like, right?

But Jiang Yi's words made her realize—

Could there be a hidden meaning behind Ji Chen's "identity swap"?

While Wang Ling was pondering, Jiang Yi directly calculated:

"Actually, I was thinking that since you could deduce that the shoulder tower is the key X, all we need to do is manipulate it..."

"So, is it possible that Ji Chen predicted your prediction?"

what?

Did Ji Chen anticipate her prediction?

But if that's the case...

The third layer of logic is actually the same as the first layer of logic.

Ji Chen predicted her prediction...

Therefore, his actions suggest that he has changed his identity as a member of the shoulder guard!

So, does Jiang Yi mean to choose X from the other 34 people?

Isn't this just going in circles again?

Wang Ling frowned slightly.

Jiang Yi then explained:

"The prediction I'm referring to is from even earlier, when he used 5 [point locks]."

"Have you ever wondered why, out of the four players with points, three had their points reset to zero, leaving only one with a shoulder-shaped structure?"

"Could it really be because Jianlou's presence is too low, and he has been overlooked by Jichen?"

"No! I have an even bolder guess—"

"Not only was this 'identity swap' a decoy, but there was also a decoy in the five previous 'points lock' incidents!"

"Following the announcement of 'once and for all,' there will be five announcements of 'points locked.'"

"So we all subconsciously assume—"

"All five players in the gold team have had their scores locked!"

"But I talked with Ji Chen during the challenge not long ago."

"Although, his eccentric personality is something I can't figure out."

"But deep down, I had a feeling—"

"Someone like him probably wouldn't lock his points directly."

"It's just a very strange mindset..."

"It's actually safer after locking the points."

"But he was unwilling to do that, because once it was locked in, it couldn't be changed, which meant there was no way back!"

Wang Ling indeed didn't know much about Ji Chen.

Therefore, it is impossible to determine how likely Jiang Yi's speculation is.

However, since Jiang Yi analyzed it this way, perhaps he is somewhat confident?

So……

Wang Ling began to rethink things from the logical premise that "Ji Chen's points were not locked".

However, before she could even think about it, Jiang Yi proactively shared his analysis:

"Actually, when the fifth [Points Lock] announcement came out, I wondered, if Ji Chen didn't lock his own points, then whose points were locked in the fifth announcement?"

"I didn't have the answer at the time."

"But then, I thought of something—"

"That person is Jianlou!"

"The cooperation between our six major factions was exactly what Ji Chen had anticipated!"

"In other words, the remaining outbuilding after the three 'points reset' was prepared for us by him!"

"If we use the integral of the shoulder as the logical basis for our operation, no matter how we reason, the result will definitely fail!"

"Because the points for the shoulder tower are locked, it's impossible to do anything!"

"That's why I just said, Ji Chen predicted your prediction!"

"Even if you predict that he didn't switch his identity, your actions will only amount to calling on all players to manipulate the points of the shoulder tower."

"But doing so is useless, because the shoulder tower points are locked, and all the [points doubling] used on him will be wasted!"

At this point, Wang Ling finally understood what Jiang Yi meant when he said that Ji Chen had predicted her prediction!

However, she was not discouraged by her misjudgment.

In psychological game-like problems, the most crucial thing is to know yourself and your opponent.

It's normal for her to misjudge Ji Chen since she doesn't know him well.

So now, following Jiang Yi's reasoning, she reorganized the logic.

However, Jiang Yi had already thought of this new logic and proactively shared it:

"Assuming my analysis is correct, then what we know now is—"

"The points for the shoulder tower are locked and cannot be processed."

"We want to find points that we can manipulate, and there's only one option left—"

"That's Ji Chen!"

"But will everything be fine if we just manipulate the points gained from Dust Absorption?"

"No!"

"We still have a game to play with Ji Chen, which is a [swap of identities]!"

"Now you should be able to figure out exactly where Ji Chen's [Identity Swap] was used, since it wasn't used on Jian Lou, right?"

Wang Ling immediately understood: "His [identity swap] was used to protect his own points!"

"It's possible that he switched identities with someone else!"

"In this way, when we target the points that he hasn't locked, we might end up swapping them for someone else's points!"

"Of course, there is an even higher level of logic: Ji Chen has predicted our predictions."

"On the surface, we thought he had changed his identity..."

"But it wasn't actually replaced..."

Of course, this logic was just something I mentioned casually.

Jiang Yi also laughed and said, "Now that we've come this far, there's no need to consider anything more complicated."

"We will deduce this by following the example of Ji Chen using the [identity swap] to exchange his own identity with that of a certain X."

"Now a new problem arises—"

"We still need to find that X and deduce Ji Chen's identity—who he switched places with!"
