These words almost woke up the crowd, and likewise woke up Zixia.
Yes, the 'Liar's' chances of winning were indeed too big.
Zixia's brow furrowed a bit, why was his winnings so big?
Lying with a group of strangers, they didn't know themselves, nor did they understand themselves, casually creping a lie would be hard for anyone to see through.
Could it really be possible to bury eight lives with a fake name?
Or does ...
The person who drew "Liar" was the Chosen One, and this was an unfair game in the first place?
"No..." Qi Xia said in his heart, 'If you can survive if you draw it, why don't you just write 'life" and "death" on the card, in that case it would be easier to achieve your goal. Otherwise what's the point of this close to an hour long game?"
A deep sense of dissonance spread in his heart.
Zixia kept recalling every word that Goat Head had said.
Could it be that ...
"Hey, it's your turn." Qiao Jiajin reached out and patted Qi Xia.
He then came back to his senses and realized that the crowd was looking at him with strange gazes.
It was too late to think about it now, or else he would look even more suspicious.
Only then did he settle his mind and reorganize his thoughts.
His mind kept recalling the sentence "My name is Li Ming, from Shandong." ...
But at this moment, he absolutely couldn't use this answer, and if he wanted to find the 'solution' to this game, he could only take a gamble.
Qi Xia opened his eyes and said to the crowd, "Everyone, my name is Qi Xia, a native of Shandong, a professional liar."
"Liar?"
The crowd in the room exclaimed out in shock after hearing only the first words Qi Xia said, after all, the character of 'Liar' appeared in many people's stories.
This Liar also connected the stories of the crowd together if nothing else.
What was even more ironic was that they had to judge whether a 'liar' was telling the truth or not.
"Before I came here, I was trying to figure out how to wash my hands of that two million dollars."
"All in all it was a lot of work, I guess, and I ended up with a million and four hundred thousand dollars in my hands. It was the least expensive way I could think of."
"But on the way back from getting the money, I suddenly encountered an earthquake, and when I walked to the door I saw my house shaking continuously."
"It is reasonable to say that one should never go indoors at such a time; after all, the house is in danger of collapsing at any time. But I was so worried about the people inside the house that I could only rush in at such a time."
"Sure enough, at the same time I entered the room, the porch collapsed, and I was crushed and lost consciousness."
Zixia finished the story in a flat tone and few words, and the crowd stared at him warily.
He knew that he was doing something risky, but it was the only way to verify if his idea was correct.
As long as that goat head opened his mouth at this moment, it meant that his guess was about right.
Just as Qi Xia thought, the goat head slowly came forward and said to the crowd, "Very well, all the people have finished telling their stories, the following is twenty minutes of free discussion time, and after twenty minutes, each person is required to write down a name on the white paper in front of them."
"Sure enough!" Qi Xia raised her eyebrows, "There really is twenty minutes!"
This explained everything!
The crowd was a bit flustered at the moment, after all, there were merely the last twenty minutes left to decide whether they lived or died.
Both Qiao Jiajin and Li Shangwu wanted to vote for each other, perhaps because of their professions, the two were filled with animosity.
And Dr. Zhao begins to question writer Han Yimo, whose story, after all, has nothing to do with everyone else's.
Lawyer Zhang and Xiao Ran seem skeptical of Qixia, while Ringo, Han Yimo, and Sugar are still hesitant.
According to the surface rules, this game 'Liar' is already going to win.
Because the votes were not uniform.
The rules stated clearly that only if the crowd all chose the liar, all eight would survive together.
Qi Xia did not participate in any discussion and silently closed his eyes.
Countless clues swirled in his mind.
The goat head said "There is one and only one liar among the storytellers".
Goathead said 'the rules are absolute'.
Goathead said 'You have all been asleep for twelve hours'.
Qixia opened her eyes, now all that was left was one last piece of information, and this "question" would be solved.
But where was that message?
Suddenly, an aura appeared in his mind.
The horizontal and vertical lines on the wall and floor made him instantly awake, and he looked at the clock on the desktop again, it was now almost 1 o'clock.
"So it's like this ...," Qi Xia's eyes widened, "so suspenseful ... I'm obviously a liar, but I was almost fooled by you guys. "
The crowd seemed to have discovered Qi Xia's abnormality, only that this liar had rarely spoken from the beginning, and they didn't know what exactly he was thinking.
"Hey, can I have another piece of paper?" Qi Xia asked Goat Head.
Hearing these words, the goat head was obviously stunned, then tentatively asked, "You ... want another piece of paper?"
"Yes." Qi Xia nodded, "I need a piece of draft paper."
The goat head was silent for half a day, pulling out another piece of paper from his own suit pocket and handing it to Qi Xia.
Qi Xia was also not polite, he took the paper and began to calculate.
He counted the large squares on the wall, totaling nine, while the squares on the floor and ceiling totaled sixteen.
"If I'm not wrong ..." Qi Xia quickly moved his pen to write something, "The squares are one per square meter, which means that we are now located in a room that is three meters high and four meters long and wide ..."
"Four by four by three ... forty-eight cubic meters."
Qi Xia's hand trembled slightly, "Not enough ... Not enough at all ..."
The crowd stared at Qi Xia in disbelief, this was clearly a question to deduce who was lying, but he was doing math.
Only to see him list out many more vertical equations, finally arriving at the numbers 「54.6」 and 「49.14」.
At the sight of these two numbers, Qi Xia's face was ashen, as if he was trying to come to terms with something.
If the guesses he was thinking were completely correct, then the current situation was truly terrifying.
His eyes flickered continuously, his thoughts having long since flown to the skies.
The crowd's arguments were also diminishing.
This man in front of him did not participate in any discussion, and merely kept calculating something, could it be that he had really found the 'answer' to this question?
After a long time, he raised his head and looked at the crowd.
There was fear, hesitation, doubt, and confusion in those eyes.
"Everyone." Qi Xia cleared his voice and spoke in a low voice, "Originally, I didn't want to save you all, but if you all chose the wrong one, I will die as well, and I absolutely can't die here, there are people waiting for me outside, so I have to find a way to get out no matter what. I can only announce the answer here, I hope you guys hear me out carefully."
"Pretty boy, what does 'answer' mean?" Qiao Jiajin, who was closest to Qi Xia, was slightly stunned, "You know who's lying?"
Qi Xia didn't answer, she just reached out and picked up her 'identity card', then slowly lifted it in front of the crowd.
"This is the identity I drew."
The crowd fixed their eyes on the card, and the words 'Liar' stood out above the card.
