The faces of the crowd were a bit stunned after seeing those three words.
"I drew 'Liar'." Qi Xia slowly said, "But it doesn't matter if this card is lifted or not, because it doesn't matter at all."
He picked up the card and casually dropped it in the center of the table.
"If I'm not mistaken, the card in each of your hands is 'Liar'."
Nobody in the crowd moved after hearing this, and after a while, Officer Li spoke up and asked, "So ... you're saying that everyone lied just now?"
"That's right." Zixia nodded, "You all are smarter than I thought, you all added a small lie to your story to make it completely valid without the logic of the plot being affected."
Officer Lee thought for a moment, as if something had occurred to him as well.
"If you're right ...," Officer Lee sighed meaningfully, "the problem is even more difficult."
The crowd looked at Officer Lee again, unsure.
Officer Li continued, "According to the rules, we can only survive together if all of us pick the liar, but then the liar loses. So we ..."
Dr. Zhao was the first to understand what Officer Lee meant, "You mean ... we can vote as many times as we want because everyone is lying, and it becomes a 'must-win game' where only the person being voted on has to die?"
"Exactly." Officer Li nodded, "The optimal solution right now is to concentrate all the votes on one person, this will minimize the losses, after all, the remaining people can survive ..."
His words again suppressed the atmosphere of the crowd to the extreme, while in contrast, the goat head did not make any movements.
In that case ... they were just voting for one of them to die?
Qi Xia sighed helplessly and looked at Officer Li, ''Officer, is it your hobby to like interrupting others? Does that give you a sense of accomplishment?"
"What kind of words are you calling this?" Officer Li frowned and replied, "Aren't I helping you out?"
"I don't need you to help me." Qi Xia said without thinking, "Your ideas will get everyone killed."
"What?" Officer Li froze, "Why would I get everyone killed? Could it be that I'm not right? If everyone is lying, wouldn't any vote stand?"
"Officer Lee, Goathead said, 'the rules are absolute' and 'there is and will be only one liar', do you remember?"
"This ..." Officer Lee mused slightly, recalling that Goathead had indeed said those two things.
"I'll organize your thoughts now." Qi Xia said coldly, "In this game, it looks like the 'Liar' has a good chance of winning because everyone feels like they're going to win, but if we vote randomly, it'll be all of us who end up dead."
Qiao Jiajin, who was sitting next to Qi Xia, touched his flowery arm and said to himself, "Because we broke the 'rules'..."
"Yes." Qi Xia nodded, "But the interesting thing about this game is that we can't deduce whether the other party is lying at all, as Lawyer Zhang said, we can only rely on whether our respective experiences are contradictory or not, but we're not even from the same region, so even if what happened is contradictory, there's no 100% certainty that we can prove that the other party has lied. "
Qixia looked at the crowd that was deep in thought, then added, "The 'Organizer' purposely chose the nine of us to sit here, so he must have his purpose, and that is to make us think we can find out the cracks from one seemingly interconnected story after another."
"But is that really right? What certainty do we have that we can know that the other party must be lying?" Zixia sneered, "In this game, the only 'liar' we can confirm 100% from the known clues is this one person. What he said is completely different from our current situation."
Zixia took a pen and 'brushed' the word 'human sheep' on the paper.
"I was wondering before why Goathead would introduce us to such a strange name as 'Human Goat' at the beginning, it seemed redundant. Now that I think about it, it's part of the game."
The crowd slowly craned their heads to look at 'Man Goat', who remained motionless.
Officer Lee staggered for a moment, then shook his head, "Liar, I have a question, Goathead said the rule was 'one and only one liar out of all the storytellers', but he didn't tell a story."
"No?" Qixia shrugged her shoulders noncommittally, "I can remember Goat Head clearly saying that he gathered us here to create a 'god', isn't that an unbelievable story?"
Officer Li silently lowered his head, he felt that what Zixia said made perfect sense, but he always felt that something was strange.
"But ..." Dr. Zhao spoke up, 'All of your assumptions here are based on the premise that 'everyone is a liar', but why would you conclude that we are liars? What if we flip over the cards and you are the only one who is a 'liar'?"
"It's impossible for you guys to have told the truth." Zixia let out a bitter laugh, his expression somewhat desperate, "I also spent some time verifying this, and I not only know that you all lied, but I also know where you lied."
He pushed his draft paper forward, then looked at Sugar beside him, "Sugar. You were 'working' in your car, sticking your head out, and did the falling billboard really hit the car and make you lose consciousness?"
Sweets pursed her lips, not daring to speak.
"Qiao Jiajin, did you really just 'lose consciousness' when you fell from such a high place onto the billboard?"
Qiao Jiajin was silent.
"Ms. Xiao Ran, did you really dodge the car that came speeding by with that child?"
Xiao Ran's eyes flickered.
"Dr. Zhao, the operating room was built much stronger than a normal room in order to maintain stability, but when you say that the ceiling of the operating room collapsed, were you really just knocked out?"
Dr. Zhao twisted his head to the side.
"Han Yimo, you said that you had absolutely no idea what happened, but when you're concentrating on your writing, you're most afraid of interruptions, and you don't know how you got here?"
Han Yimo sighed slightly.
"Lawyer Zhang, your car was crashed into a crack, how deep was that crack?"
Lawyer Zhang wrapped his hands around his body, his face expressionless.
"Officer Li, what brand of car are you driving? Able to instantly put the seat down and break free of the person behind you?"
Officer Lee touched the red marks on his neck, wanting to speak.
"Ringo, your ceiling collapsed as well, but you said your studio is located on a high floor, and once the upper floors start to collapse, the whole building won't exist, right?"
Ringo lowered his head deeply.
Seeing the expressions on the faces of the crowd, Zixia reached out and tapped the tabletop and said:
"Guys, admit it, all of us, including me, are already dead."
