Reheat the game

This was the second time Ruan Zemiao woke up in a strange place inexplicably within 24 hours.

If the sudden loss of consciousness and the sudden regain of consciousness can be called "waking up".

Another all-white room, another waking up in a chair.

The difference is that Ruan Zemiao is no longer alone in the room this time.

He looked around and found that there were a total of nine people, men and women, in the room.

Everyone sat around a huge round table with fixed seats. There was a small hollow inside the conference table, which was far away from the edge of the table. Ruan Zemiao visually estimated that even if he stretched his arms to reach the hollow inside, it would not be enough. A long distance.

There is an electronic display board with a number in front of everyone's desk, and Ruan Zemiao's is 8.

He tried it, and there were no buttons around the electronic display board, and there was no obvious response when he touched the screen directly, which meant that he should be the fixed No. 8.

Nine people sat around the round table clockwise about half a meter apart in order of number, and the position at twelve o'clock on the round table was vacant.

Where is the sponsor?

Ruan Zemiao stretched his neck slightly to look, but there didn't seem to be any chairs there.

Everyone gradually became familiar with the environment and began to look at each other.

The two people sitting next to him are naturally the first thing everyone should pay attention to.

On Ruan Zemiao's left is a long-haired middle-aged woman in a dark green sweater. He looks at the woman from the corner of his eyes. He has neat hair and even put on some makeup, but even this can't hide the deep fatigue between his brows, and the corners of his eyes are a little drooping , is a worried look.

Her shoulders were a little broken, and Ruan Zemiao guessed that she was a woman who knew how to do housework, because Yin Yan's shoulders were crushed by firewood, rice, oil and salt in the past few years.

The woman seemed to be about the same age as Yin Yan, and Ruan Zemiao, who had two subtle resemblances, felt a little close to her.Sitting on Ruan Zemiao's right hand was a handsome man with stern eyebrows and sharp facial features. He was wearing a decent brown dark plaid suit. He was about half a head taller than Ruan Zemiao just sitting.

Ruan Zemiao just glanced at the man and then looked back.

For the male creature beside him, he has instinctive resistance from the bottom of his heart.

People on both sides are well dressed. Could it be that the time period when everyone was "teleported" here is different?

From entering the arena to now, Ruan Zemiao always wanted to find someone who was brought out of bed in pajamas like him, but to his disappointment, it seemed that no one was wearing pajamas.

But it could also be that all 9 people changed their outfits during the preparation period.

Pay attention.

But not wearing pajamas does not mean dressing well.

Ruan Zemiao felt that even if he really appeared in pajamas, he would not attract attention, because most of the people present would be attracted by the person diagonally opposite him.

That was the only person Ruan Zemiao could deduce with certainty about this person's occupation.

A professional tramp.

The homeless man, wearing tattered clothes and combing strands of hair, was sitting on a seat eating a delicately crafted hot dog bun.

Ruan Zemiao thought that he might know where this hot dog bun, which didn't look cheap, came from.

In contrast to the half-race man in a high-necked black sweater with dark eyes and the girl in a plaid skirt and school uniform, the scruffy-dressed homeless man who gnawed bread roughly seemed out of place.

The sweater man turned slightly in the opposite direction from the homeless man.

The girl was holding a pocky while eating and talking to the man on the other side of her.

The two should be familiar.

Can you come in a team?

Ruan Zemiao felt that he had lost at the starting line.

There was also a man and a woman present, Ruan Zemiao felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he saw them.

At this time, there were crisp "ding" sounds from all directions in the room.

When the "ding" sound disappeared, all the sounds in the room disappeared. Everyone knew that this was a reminder, so they stopped all communication and actions that would make sounds, and waited quietly for the next highlight.

"Hello."

Sure enough, a second later, a strange voice appeared again.

"Congratulations on passing the screening and coming to the scene of the reheating game."

To everyone's surprise, this time it wasn't an AI or any electronically programmed voice.

This is clearly the unmodified voice of a human being!

At twelve o'clock on the round table, no humans or other things appeared. Several people in the room couldn't hold back any longer and stood up to find out where the owner of the voice was hiding.

"Please sit back, there is no doubt, there are only nine of you in this conference room now."

The bodies of those who stood up and those who were sitting stiffened for a second. Obviously, everyone knew that they were being watched at this moment.

Then the standing person slowly returned to the seat, and the person in the seat adjusted his sitting posture without any trace.

When there was no movement in the meeting room again, the sound started to continue again.

"It's a great honor for me to represent the game party to get along with you in the next few days. First, let me introduce myself. My surname is Lu, and my job number is 0141. You can call me by my surname or my job number."

After speaking, 0141 fell silent.

Everyone looked at each other a few times, and no one knew why they stopped here.

Until a boy-faced man wearing glasses hesitated to say: "Mr. Lu, how are you?"

"Hello, Teacher He."

0141's voice sounded again instantly.

"Next, I will introduce the rules of the game to everyone."

So he was waiting for someone to greet him?

Ruan Zemiao was speechless.

What's more obvious is that the girl who met the man who talked to him almost rolled her eyes to the sky.

Oh no, on the ceiling.

"There are a total of nine contestants in this reheating game, everyone here, but there can only be one winner of the game, and the prizes will be awarded directly to the winner of the game after a one-month schedule. The game is not a game The winner is determined by the continuous knockout rounds, and the person who stays at the end is the winner, so you don’t have to think about team formation at all. I can tell you responsibly that every round of the reheating game is Personal warfare. Regardless of whether you knew each other before this, or whether you have interests involved, everyone outside of you is an enemy. Of course, you can also choose to form a group first and then fight among yourself, this is your freedom."

"A month? Stay here?" asked the man in a black turtleneck.

"It's about a month, and the time of each round is different. It may be 7 minutes, or it may be seven days. Now I have no way to tell you the exact time."

"But, how do we contact our family members? Will we report to the community police if we disappear mysteriously for a month?" the middle-aged woman with long hair asked.

"You don't have to worry about this." 0141 said: "When you are here, the community time is static, so after you win the game, you return to the community society and just continue what you did before you came here."

parallel?

This sentence obviously impacted everyone. The 9 people present looked at me and I looked at you, but obviously there was no physicist who studied quantum mechanics to popularize deep knowledge for everyone.

"So, you are not a community government? Are you two groups?"

The man sitting next to Ruan Zemiao stared at the table and said these words slowly.

The voice was low, and it was clearly a question, but it carried a sense of oppression that could not be ignored, which made Ruan Zemiao tremble all over.

0141 was obviously slower to answer the call. He said: "We do not belong to the government, but we are also a group in the community."

And it's a group of local tyrants, Ruan Zemiao thought.

Thinking of what the female voice said in the lounge before, "We are not under the jurisdiction of the community law", he felt a little intrusive again.

However, since they all came to this game, he didn't want to quit.

With his head down, Ruan Zemiao calculated, 5000 million is really too attractive.

Anyway, if you lose, you have nothing to lose.

In the next second, he heard someone ask: "Should we be sent out directly if we lose?"

Good question, big brother.

"No." 0104 said.

Hearing these two words, Ruan Zemiao immediately raised his head. Although he knew that he would not see Lu appearing in front of him when he raised his head, it was a natural reaction of the body when one was concentrated.

"Players who fail a game will be sent back to the oven."

"What do you mean?" the high school girl asked, and she casually put the finished pocky box on the table.

She sneered, "Returning? Remaking? Re-education?"

"If you fail, you should naturally be punished, otherwise the risk and benefit will not be directly proportional."

"Then what is your purpose?" The high school girl obviously didn't want to let go of this question. "It's like re-educating students who failed the exam? Returning to the factory for repairs if they fail?"

After failing, being dragged to another room to learn how to be a human again?The picture is a little funny.

But in the next frame, Ruan Zemiao's mind was filled with the image of being forced to make up classes overnight after failing the high school exam, and his heart felt a little stuck.

He shook his head trying to get rid of the picture, and at the same time caught a low chuckle from beside him.

Laugh fart.

"Your statement is very vivid. Sure enough, students' thinking is more active." 0141 said: "We just want to select the most suitable person for the community through this game, and then let you bring prizes to the community and continue to serve the community. make a contribution."

"It sounds fair." Mr. He pushed his glasses.

"Yes." 0104 said.

"Then why don't you cooperate with the government?" Teacher He asked.

"That's why there are so many roads from the same point to the same destination."

0141 did not answer this question directly, but his statement is not difficult to be accepted.

"At the beginning and end of each game, you need to go to this conference room to listen to the process and results. I will introduce the details of each game to you before the start of the corresponding game. If you have any questions, I will answer you." 0104 said, "Do you have any questions?"

Everyone was silent.

It's not that there are no doubts, but that there are too many questions, and I don't know where to start.

The temptation of prizes made everyone temporarily ignore the hindrance of doubts, let's take a step and see, the nine people present reached a consensus for the first time in their hearts.

"Ok?"

0141 spoke again, it seems that this is a temperament that must be answered to be satisfied.

"Not yet."

Now that I have decided to participate, I don't want to waste more time on this matter, not to mention that there are opportunities to solve puzzles throughout the game, Ruan Zemiao replied.

The rest also shook their heads.

"Okay, so before that, I think it's necessary for everyone to get to know each other. How about a self-introduction?"

0104 Change into a relaxed tone.
