Chapter 678: All actors are Oscar-level, so passing the level is inevitable?
After talking for so long, Perfect Life ended up contradicting himself, his brow furrowed tightly.
"Because there's a very serious logical flaw in this."
"No, based on everyone's testimonies, what can be confirmed now is that last night, there were a total of seven 'Hero' personnel in 'Sin's' room."
"If I'm certain my companion didn't go, then that means you had your companion go already."
"Then all that big speech you gave earlier is completely meaningless, essentially just throwing mud at yourself."
"What's your purpose in doing this? Is it to reinforce your own persona, to lay the groundwork for later saying three completely unrelated words?"
Hearing Perfect Life say this, the pupils of Xue Zou beside Xie Antong dilated, her eyes filled with shock.
No... it can't be?
Is this guy, who looks like he's all brawn and no brain, really this scheming?
She couldn't help but whisper quietly to Xie Antong beside her:"Is he that kind of person? Deliberately acting crazy and foolish there so people wouldn't suspect him? Actually, he's the Troublemaker?"
Xie Antong didn't respond, just looked at her with a faint, enigmatic smile.
The playful glint in those eyes made Xue Zou inexplicably start to feel a bit guilty.
Right at that moment, Perfect Life hadn't finished speaking yet and continued:
"However, there's still a big problem here."
"After all, from your perspective, such a lie would be very easy to expose. If you are the Troublemaker, you could also just pick a few synonyms from the words the previous people said to muddle through."
"Just like that Dark Clown."
Dark Clown: ?
He had been watching the dogs fight each other with a playful expression, but now his face instantly stiffened a bit.
Why is this involving me?
"So, there must be something wrong with your behavioral logic."
"What exactly are you trying to do?......"
Perfect Life looked at Sun, narrowing his eyes slightly, asking with apparent confusion.
Bang!
Sun slammed the table hard, his mouth opening and closing, not knowing what he was saying, but it certainly didn't look like anything nice, no different from his previous brute state.
However, since it wasn't his turn, no sound came out, making him look somewhat comical.
[Player "Perfect Life", note your speaking time. Your speaking time is almost up.]
[Please quickly give your three word descriptions.]
The Arbitrator's voice held no emotion whatsoever, a purely heartless rule-enforcing machine.
Just as He Himself said, He is the most impartial person in the world.
Perfect Life didn't seem conflicted either, looked left and right, and actually made another strange choice.
"1, 2, 3."
He easily chose to give up on descriptions, as if he completely didn't care whether others would suspect him.
Watching his choice, Xue Zou couldn't help but say to Xie Antong:
"What do you think about the conflict between these two?"
"Do you lean towards anyone? One of these two must be the Troublemaker, right? Or could it be both, stepping on each other to ensure at least one of them ends up in a safe position."
Listening to Xue Zou's voice, Xie Antong didn't speak for a long while.
After some time, the vibrating transmission from the All-Seeing Eye finally came again, delivering the exact same words as before.
"Don't underestimate them."
Xue Zou: ?
"After Sun finished speaking, Perfect Life already had time to think and judge."
"But don't you think his performance was as if he only started thinking the moment he opened his mouth?"
"Moreover, all these things could have been processed instantly in his mind, yet he deliberately took his time, laying them out point by point."
"Speaking yields three parts benefit. Every statement uttered has a purpose."
Hearing the voice in her ear, Xue Zou instinctively wanted to say something more.
But looking into Xie Antong's eyes turned towards her, her heart suddenly chilled, and she lost all desire to speak.
If everything everyone says has a purpose, then what she said to me...
What does that mean!
Shrouded entirely in black mist, she suddenly felt the complexity of this round's game was far beyond her expectations.
Is this... an all-star cast of master actors?
Xie Antong now also stopped looking at the mass of black mist beside her, just saying softly:
"Don't rush, Xue Zou..."
"We can still watch a bit more."
.......
Meanwhile, while Xie Antong and Xue Zou, that pair of companions, were being cryptic with each other and engaging in some subtle power plays...
Another bombshell had been dropped.
"Hahahahaha!"
It was now Chiyo Eine's turn. She didn't speak for a long while at first, her eyes sweeping over every face except Xie Antong's.
Then she started laughing.
Just as everyone was still puzzled, Chiyo Eine let out a "wah" sound and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Everyone: !?
"Hehe..."
Chiyo Eine wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, counting on her fingers, and said softly:
"Altogether, eight partners."
"Seven of them were on 'Sin's' side."
"Sun says his teammate didn't listen to his command and simply didn't move."
"Perfect Life also says his teammate didn't move either."
"Strange, then that's one extra person. And what's even stranger is..."
"Who was it that attacked me last night!?"
Hearing Chiyo Eine's voice, not just the players, but even those eight partners looked over in surprise, even glancing at each other.
This person called Chiyo Eine was attacked two nights in a row?
Who hates her that much!
Moreover, the statements from Sun and Perfect Life were already confusing enough on their own.
With Chiyo Eine added into the mix, people felt their heads were about to explode, because the logic between these three had already formed a deadlock!
Based on normal motive reasoning, only one of the three could possibly be telling the truth!
There's even a possibility that everyone is lying.
"Hehe, I don't know who it is that wants me dead so badly either," Chiyo Eine shook her head somewhat helplessly.
"But if you want, you can come again tonight! I'll naturally keep you company to the end!"
"However, I don't know if everyone's minds are muddled, or if my own brain isn't clear and I'm not thinking straight."
"Arbitrator!"
[Hmm?]
The Arbitrator probably also didn't expect to be called suddenly.
"I need to know, how does a player successfully clear this 'Undercover' game?"
"It seems it wasn't stated. Do we have to successfully identify one [Troublemaker] to count as success?"
The Arbitrator hesitated for a moment, a hint of laughter entering His voice.
[Ah~ That's not it.]
[As long as you complete the identification process, the game is considered successfully cleared by the players.]
Another game that guarantees clearance!
