innocence method

?1. A team of two people is a team, one of which is a "killer" and the other is a "detective".The identities of both parties will be determined by the drawing of lots arranged later;

2. The killer has the right to kill any person in the experiment; if one person is killed, the sentence of two people in the same group will be halved;

4. Detectives have the right to testify against the real culprit, but they must correctly explain the circumstances of the case and the method of committing the crime; the testimonial must be carried out in the presence of all existing persons.For anyone who successfully testifies against one person, the sentence of two people in the same group will be halved; if the reasoning is wrong, the sentence will be increased by [-]%.Detectives are not allowed to kill, otherwise they will be executed immediately, except for those who are in self-defense;

4. Those who do not participate in the group within 24 hours after the start of the experiment will be executed immediately, except when there is no one to form the group; once the group is decided, it cannot be changed midway; if there is a single order during the experiment, it cannot be regrouped.In any case, the loner only has the status of "killer" or "detective";

5. Killers are not allowed to attack people in the same group, otherwise they will be executed immediately;

7. Detectives in the same group cannot reason about the crimes committed by the killers in this group, unless no one successfully solves the case until the end of the experiment;

8. During the experiment, those whose prison term is less than (≤) one year can be "released without charge" at any time;

All "true culprits" have been accused, and the game end condition is met;

Even if no one meets the "acquittal" condition, the 7X24-hour experiment ends automatically.

As a result, Mink's body was left there just like that.

...The organizer should think of a way to recycle it, right?

No, the mink is not actually dead, and the other experimental "observer" is actually a dog. In fact, the mink colluded with the dog to perform a play, right? ——Seven was thinking about the plot in the movie "Chain Saw 1" where the first corpse was actually the host of the game, and hardly noticed that the people around him were automatically divided into two groups.

Everyone else and - dogs.

"What's the matter? Go ahead." The dog was very leisurely. Since no one wanted to stay within ten meters of him, he pulled out the chair and sat down, putting his feet on another chair.

Are you afraid it's too late now?That momentum is clearly saying.

Seven remembered what he had just thought.Laughed.

how could be.

The result groups are divided like this.Because he had already agreed to Mink's invitation just now, Jelly inevitably got the order.The rules say "If there is a single order during the experiment, it cannot be regrouped", and no one can help her;

The ox and the wolf invited the fish at the same time, but the fish replied "Sorry, I want to observe a little more".

The monkey who was rejected by the wolf actually compromised under the softness and toughness of the cow... This is quite surprising.

Next, what surprised Qi even more was that the wolf invited him. "At least you won't make trouble for others." He said directly.

"What's the matter, do you have to think about it...I really failed." Facing Qi's hesitation, the wolf laughed at himself.

"Ah no, I'm sorry," Seven replied, "I already have people who want to form a team."

"what?"

"Dog, will you form a team with me?"

Dog, will you team up with me?Seven said.He lowered his head, as if hesitating for a moment, then took out a tissue from his pocket, put the tissue on it, picked up the ballpoint pen that was still dripping blood, and handed it to the dog:

You killed Ermine with this pen - I know that well, but I still want to be with you.

No one reacted - even the dog.

Turning his neck, the dog stared at the hand for three seconds.

"...So that's how it is!" The monkey with the fastest reaction yelled, "—so cunning! Brother, your brain is better than I imagined?"——He didn't remember Qi's code name.

"Hmph." The wolf nodded towards Qi — mockingly, then turned and left.

Everyone knows it well - if you are in a group with a dog, the risk of being killed by a dog is reduced to zero. "The killer must not attack the same group of people, otherwise he will be executed immediately." - That's what the rules say.

Finally, he stretched out his hand, as if snatching it, and took it from Qi's hand, including the tissue and the pen.

"Did you agree?" Seven said.

"Um----------------"

"do not do it."

He raised his voice as if acting coquettishly, and the corners of his slightly grinned mouth, where the canine teeth gleamed like blunt knives. "—— Then I won't be able to kill you." He raised his hand and dropped the ballpoint pen to spit at the ground beside his feet, and the poor thing that was still in Qiqi's hand just now became dust immediately.

"You don't have to worry about the grouping - I will definitely have a group." The dog said and looked around the four people in the room who were not in a group at this time-wolves, birds, fish, and sheep. Bird immediately lowered her head—she probably felt similar to being licked on the face by a wild dog by the side of the road.

Seven let out a long breath.It really doesn't work to just invite like this.During the few seconds when he was stared at by the dog just now, he thought he really peed out.

"I will never die with a dog." The wolf looked at the dog and defined it as if no one else was there. "Tsk, little girl over there, do you still want to have a team?"——So, the wolf finally teamed up with the bird.

The first stage is over.The living area is open.

Suddenly someone said.Everyone was startled, but they quickly realized that this female voice, as flat as a tram station announcement, came out of nowhere, wasn't it the one who first resounded through the room and announced the "experiment rules"?

But there is no need to go into the meaning of this sentence too much. The effect of the so-called "open living area" is immediate - the floor paint with the charcoal-colored carpet in the room sizzled, and the nine doors opened.

"This——? It's like an escape room!" Looking at the girl Jelly who was silent in the center of the room just now as if she had been rejected by everyone, Qi smiled instantly, and couldn't help saying, "Yes, I think it's similar too."

Below the trapdoor standing vertically from the ground is an iron ladder like "escape room", extending edge by edge into the room below.As for the room below, although you can't see the whole picture—it's quite cozy—Qi couldn't stop himself from having such thoughts.

The room is dominated by the base color of mahogany, and even the iron ladder, which should be cold, is wrapped in cream paint... Go down and have a look.While Qi was thinking this way, Hu worriedly walked to Jelly's door to have a look.strangeness.The iron ladder of jelly is much denser than his own, so as to better adapt to the girl's body shape - there is nothing strange about this in itself; the seven strangest thing is why the person who opens this door knows that jelly is just standing on this What about the door?What would have happened if I had chosen the door of jelly?

After putting the sheep down to his own room together with the fish, Qi finally entered his room.

He temporarily closed the door above his head, and the voice above his head disappeared instantly as if cut by a knife.It has excellent sound insulation, and it is the type that can be locked from the inside.

Next, the layout of the room is the same as that of some high-end hotel single rooms. There is a single bed and a tea table-a tea towel is spread on the table, and seven inverted tea cups are turned over from the saucer. The textured room key just lay there all alone.Several water candle-shaped wall lamps protrude from above the vanity mirror, shining with red-orange lights.Sure enough, there are no windows in the house, and the central air conditioner above the head is like a small animal, blowing the wind in a very lifelike way.

There is no television, radio, computer or other output tools for external information in the house.On the wall where the TV should have been, hangs a dozen hotel papers with the rules announced in the previous broadcast written in fifty shades of gray.Qi opened the paper to take a look... Each page had the rules of the game printed in a faded color.Is this someone writing something on it with the rules of the game as the background?Really uncomfortable.Qixiang stretched out his hand to the two pens, one blue and one black, stuck in the leather case next to the paper, but he didn’t — considering what someone did with a “pen” that was supposed to be used for writing just now… …He touched his pocket, and still took out his pen to draw circles on the rules and began to write … He also happened to have a pen with him, and the organizer didn’t seem to bother to take it away—at that time, the dog was not the one who snatched it. Seven sincerely felt that it was great to use a pen to do that kind of thing.

After writing a few random strokes in this way, Qi stretched and stood up, not forgetting to put the room key in his pocket, and visited the bathroom again - creamy white and resilient towels and beautifully woven bath towels were placed on the eggs. The rim of the shaped bathtub is not the kind of cheap goods that hotels usually provide; opened the closet--it has everything from shirts to pants, and even the noise-absorbing slippers are quietly placed--Qi couldn't help but take one A piece of clothing, pull out the collar to see.

strangeness.Too strange.

"I'm going!" - Qi heard the sound from outside the door.Not from overhead, but from another exit from this room—outside the ordinary door. "It's too creepy!"——Qi immediately recognized that it was a monkey.

He turned the handle of the air lock, opened the door and went out.

Unsurprisingly, outside the door is a hotel-like corridor without any suspenseful color, not gorgeous, but not shabby either.The warm cinnamon-colored carpet, the light-pink wallpaper, and the roof of the porch are slightly pressed down, but it gives people a sense of stability in a fixed space.

The monkey was standing there - in the middle of the corridor, with his waist in his arms, as if he was delighted with the decoration of the room with a hint of doubt.The half-closed door opened behind him, and the cow stepped out of it.Then the question in Qi's heart seemed to finally have an answer: the remaining five doors opened one after another, and the wolf and the bird came out from the same door, followed by the dog, the fish, the jelly, and the sheep with a cane.

"In this room, the furnishings inside seem to know who is going to live in it, and even the size of the clothes is correct! And the people who have been divided into groups are all allocated to double rooms. I said, just now you are indeed Come in casually, right?"

Is that really the case?There is no need for monkeys to shout so loudly, everyone already knows it well.

"It's weird." The monkey finally commented with his mouth puckered.

"Okay! Let's explore this place thoroughly! Who's coming?" Jelly said, smiling, turned her head and walked towards the end of the corridor.

The wolf gave a "tsk", and the dog seemed to have no objection, and they all followed behind her.Seeing that even the sheep followed with a trembling step, Qi hurriedly caught up with the crowd.

There are a total of seven rooms, which are connected in sequence. The residents are jelly, cow and monkey, wolf and bird, dog, seven, sheep and fish.As the monkey said before, people who are divided into groups are assigned to double rooms - leading to the combination of wolves and birds of the opposite sex having to live in the same room - and did not hear any opinions from the girl who should be more concerned, but instead the wolf With an expression of smelling something strange on his face, he kept "tsk" in a voice that the girl could fully hear.
