Chapter 45 – The Orphanage of Horror XXXXV

[Bullet screen]…… Are the three choices different?

[Bullet screen] there’s no choice

“It seems that everyone has unified their choice.” It blinked merrily, and the three options went in at the same time, then disappeared.

“What kind of ghost is this self-talking conical curve?” Ruan Qiao asked.

[Bullet screen] The conical curve laughs to death

[Bullet screen] Isn’t it a circle? God tm conic curve Ha ha ha ha ha

Yun Duo is not a player, but the avatar of this strange dungeon called Round. Its pattern is engraved on the skill card that can be taken out of the dungeon, which means that it is not the unique boss of this dungeon, and the other party can recognize the identity of the player and pretend to be a game player. It is certainly not simple. If it is an advanced boss across copies and is fixed in the main world view of [Isolation Zone], other players should recognize it.

But at least half a year ago, there was no such character as Round before Ruan Qiao left.

Wen Qing shook her head and said, “It’s the first time I’ve seen it.”

“I hear you questioning the great universe destroyer dimension destroyer puzzle game enthusiast.” The eyes in the air suddenly stared at Ruan Qiao, the line sinking close to her, and even the body on the chair showed a grim expression, with a purplish face, dark eyes, and lips slightly open, and issued a sharp voice: “Be careful of your soul.”

Ruan Qiao’s tone did not fluctuate: “Ah, I’m so scared.”

[Bullet screen] boss: Do I not want face?

[Bullet screen] This is the worst scared I have ever seen hahahaha

The line of the eyes receded a little and resumed the previous tone: “Alright, don’t waste Round’s time. Next, listen to the rules of the game.”

“Each of you has a choice of either [killing] or [don’t kill], there is one day to consider, after you have decided, feel free to contact me.”

“On the fifth night, I will announce the result of everyone’s choices.”

“If someone chooses [Don’t kill], there is a 50% chance to kill one person.” Three playing cards appear again in front of the players. The back is the pattern of the array on the floor of the lobby. After turning over, there are only two black characters on the other side —— [Don’t kill].  The dead object will be randomly generated among the three of you.”

[Bullet screen] The famous prisoner’s dilemma

[Bullet screen] It is the best choice for everyone to choose not to kill. There is half the chance that one person will die and half the chance that all three people will survive.

Round continued to introduce: “If someone chooses [kill], the player who chooses to kill will survive~the other players who choose [don’t kill] will die.”

“If everyone chooses to [kill],” it said with a hint of regret: “It’s a pity that all players will die.”

With its words, the characters on the card are also changing.

“Ok, here are the rules~trust or betray, survival or death.”

Its voice sank: “Make your choice!”

“To be honest, don’t you really want to make a deal with me? I only need one eye from you.”

No one answered it.

“What cold humans.” Round blinked aggrievedly: “Give me a reply before 9:00 tomorrow evening.”

As soon as the voice fell, it disappeared with the body of the clouds on the chair, and the whole lobby returned to normal, no longer black and white.

Ruan Qiao looked at the two cards that appeared in her hand. One said kill, and the other said don’t kill.

The famous prisoner’s dilemma —— the best choice of an individual may be completely different from the best choice of a team. From the perspective of three players, it is best for all to choose not to kill, and the probability of death is also the lowest.

But when everyone thinks so, everyone in the team will choose [don’t kill]. At this time, once one person betrays the team and chooses [kill], he can remove himself from the death list. On the contrary, other people will surely die.

Of course, if all the players choose to [kill], the final result is that all the players will die.

So everyone will try their best to let others choose [don’t kill], but they cannot ensure that others will not betray themselves.

The irony of the dilemma is that those who choose to trust will die, and those who choose to betray will survive.

Death is just a loss for her and Wen Qing, but Su Xi is extremely resistant to death in the game. The 50% random death rate is dangerous for him.

If he chooses to kill, she and Wen Qing will surely die. Unless one of them also chooses to [kill], they can save their lives.

Ruan Qiao looked at Su Xi.

Will he really choose [kill]?
