"Okay…"
After getting the answer he wanted, Sedokan's grin slowly rose.
"Then choose one of these two candles."
As he said that, he loosened one of his hands, revealing a half-candle.
"If you want to choose the long one, press the circle, if you want to choose the short one, press the cross, the majority's decision will prevail."
As soon as Sedokan finished explaining the rules, Leorio on the opposite side immediately shouted:
"There must be a trap!"
In response, Sedokan just smiled indifferently:
"Under normal circumstances, of course, everyone chooses the long candle."
"But that's just the general situation."
Leorio said without thinking: "The long candle has been rigged!!"
"That's just inference based on normal logic, but the other party also knows this, so they predict the opposite, and they may also rig the short one."
Kurapika analyzed: "Just like what Lan said, the other party predicted our prediction."
Leorio: "But, if we worry about this and that, then…"
"Yes, it will never end."
Kurapika said in a deep voice: "This is the same as choosing the left and right path before!"
"When people are forced to choose one of two different conditions, their vigilance will be particularly heavy, making it impossible for them to make a judgment immediately."
"And if you make the wrong choice, the psychological blow will be more severe than when you make the wrong choice of the ordinary two choices."
"Sure enough, he is a fraudster who's been sentenced for more than a hundred years!"
Kurapika and Leorio were unable to make any decision here.
On the other side, Sedokan sat down on the ground directly.
"You can think about it slowly."
He continued to stroke his greasy hair: "Anyway, we have endless time here."
"Although it is a game of majority decision…"
"But you can discuss it freely here first."
Sedokan said to stimulate everyone easily.
At the cliff, Leorio was a little impatient: "So, which one should we choose?!"
"The long one or the short one?"
Killua looked at the restless Leorio and then suddenly looked at Lan:
"Can you tell which of the two candles has a problem?"
Originally, Kurapika wanted to let Gon make the decision. Instead of worrying about it here, it would be better to let Gon take a gamble with his wild instinct.
Then they looked over at Lan, who was able to recognize that the other party was an arsonist, he must have some understanding of these tricks and means…
"There are problems with both of those candles."
Lan just glanced at it and gave his judgment with a smile.
"All have problems?!!"
Leorio was stunned when he heard it: "What's the point of taking out these two candles of different lengths?"
"It can't be that one burns fast and the other burns slowly, right?"
"No"
Killua was enlightened: "If the candles given to Gon are all problematic."
"And if he uses normal candles, then he basically won't lose."
Kurapika had a look of realization on his face: "So no matter which one we choose, Gon will pick the defective one."
"You mean..."
Leorio also understood: "There are problems with these two candles, and he still has a normal candle in his hand, right?!"
In an instant, Leorio's anger soared to the top:
"What a bastard!!"
He almost pointed at Sedokan's nose and cursed: "The opponent is a child, but he still uses such a mean and shameless method!"
"They are prisoners here."
Lan can understand: "They are all criminals; who would play fair fight with you?"
"And in order to get a reduced sentence, they make efforts and use all their special skills to fight us."
"Besides, the rules don't say you can't cheat."
"Assholes!!"
Leorio was still furious; he grits his teeth and shouts at the stone platform:
"Gon, both of these candles have problems; don't choose either one!!"
"Well, I get it."
Gon nodded, then looked at Sedokan, who was already a little impatient in front of him.
"I don't want either of these candles.."
He grinned at Sedokan with a bright white tooth: "I want the long candle on your body that has no problem!!"
Gon was very cunning and chose the safest one.
Sedokan: It's over; my trick was exposed.
However, as a long-time fraudster veteran, Sedokan was not easily shaken, nor did he just give up and accept his fate.
"I don't have the things you said!"
Sedokan denied it: "There are only two candles!"
"You can only choose the long one or the short one; there is no other choice!!"
This is already a direct cheating.
"I don't want it!" Gon also refused to accept it: "If you give me these problematic candles, I will definitely lose!"
He is not stupid, and he insists: "I want the long candle without any problem!"
Sedokan: "The candle in front of me is fine!!"
Gon: "I don't believe it!!"
The two people were deadlocked.
Sedokan also found that if he kept entangled like this, the situation would still be beneficial to his side.
Anyway, the purpose is to better consume the opponent's time so that he can...
Whoosh!
Sedokan was planning various means of delaying in his mind, and he felt a strong wind blowing past his ears.
Then, he felt a warm sensation on his cheek.
Sedokan subconsciously touched it and found his hand covered with blood.
His ear had been pierced by a bullet.
"Sorry, I haven't practiced my marksmanship for a long time…"
Lan held a gun in his hand, pointed it at Sedokan, and chuckled:
"I've become a little rusty."
"You're breaking the rules!!!"
Bendot, on the opposite side, stood up immediately after seeing this: "It was agreed that this duel was a one-on-one one, and you're just interfering so casually. It is a violation..."
"I said I was just practicing shooting skills, and it has become rusty."
Lan interrupted calmly: "Just like this guy hiding candles on his body."
"I'm curious; what if I accidentally kill him while practicing shooting here, and then I found other candles from his body..."
He smiled, but his eyes were calm while looking at the prisoners opposite: "What should I do then?"
Bendot's mouth twitched, and he said nothing.
Don't they know whether there are normal candles on Sedokan?
It's just to achieve their purpose of wasting time.
But when Lan pointed out this problem directly, they had to face it.
And they also found that the methods of this applicant in a black suit were much more cruel than they imagined.
Even the bottom line of the rules was played more flexibly than them.
"How come this style of behavior is like that unreasonable member of the mafia…"
Bendot muttered quietly. "That's because there's no need to reason with prisoners like you."
Lan, on the other side, heard it clearly and pointed it out directly: "Although you said you came to help us assess us, you are actually just prisoners who failed in the outside world and ended up here."
"Recognize your own identities. It's fine if you can honestly abide by the rules, but if you want to do something weird again."
Lan chuckled: "I don't mind executing all of you guys now."
