Chapter 35 Chapter Four

Dark Fire looked at Sajia, as if he couldn't believe that he would completely fall into this little woman's trap. Chris continued: "As for the night when you finish telling the story, you will see the 'living dead' walking downstairs. Obviously, it is also a good show that Sajia put on to make Ryoma's story foul-she deliberately wore a captain's suit. Clothes made so you can see your back. The purpose is to lead to the story Ryoma told the next day 'Foul!'” "You mean, Sajia also sneaked into my room and used hypnotism to know the content of my story in advance?"

Ryoma asked in horror. "Of course, in fact, the 'foul' in the stories of Moby Dick and Mr. Araki Shune are similar. I don't need to analyze them one by one," Chris said. "No, I haven't hypnotized Moby Dick." Sajia looked at Chris and said, "After he told the story, you alluded that his story might be suspected of plagiarism, in order to arouse everyone's further suspicion..." "After I finished telling the story, you immediately entered Xu Wen's room through the darkroom, and imitated Xu Wen's handwriting to write out the outline of the story, and threw it under the bed, but it was discovered by Nan Tian who was secretly investigating Xu Wen's room—creating my plagiarism. And the illusion of a foul—kill two birds with one stone!" The white whale suddenly realized.

"Have I wronged you, Moby Dick?" Sajia said sharply, "Did you ever copy other people's ideas in real life?" The white whale was speechless and looked very embarrassed. After a moment of silence, Lake asked: "Shajia, if you said that you designed Yu Chicheng and Xu Wen's foul to have a reason to kill them, then why did Xia Houshen, Dark Fire, Longma, Araki Zhou and others behind you, You also have to deliberately make them foul? What's the point of doing that?" "Of course it makes sense," Sha Jia raised her head and said, "As I said just now, this game is a puzzle designed by Nan Tian. Intentionally making fouls is one of the puzzles! The test is whether you can solve our game before the end of the game." way!"

"Speaking of which, I really admire it." Chris looked at Nan Tian, ​​"To be honest, this puzzle is indeed a genius idea. As I said just now, if it wasn't for the last 'electronic password' link, Sajia would be helpless , I am afraid that we will never be able to solve this secret—even if I use the story of "Escape from the Devil's Nest" to find out that the organizer may be Sajia, I still cannot know that the real organizer is actually Nantian!" "What's the mystery of your story, can you tell it now?" Arakaki looked at Chris. Chris smiled: "Before I told "Escape from the Devil's Nest", I actually had a vague guess that the real sponsor might not know his identity, but I didn't have evidence, so I came up with this story. Come and test the sponsor."

"Think about it, the ending of the story I told is actually very close to the current ending - the final boss doesn't know that he is the final boss. I think, if this is the case, then the organizer's substitute ( Sha Jia) must be able to guess how the ending is going to be from the beginning of the story-but she just wants to cover it up!" "Just like what Sha Jia did, in order to prevent everyone from doubting her, she deliberately chose the wrong route every time an option appeared-unknowingly, all 7 options were wrong! However, she ignored To put it bluntly, the probability of choosing all 7 options wrong is the same as the probability of choosing all of them right—very low—only 1/128! Among all the people, she is the only one who did it!”

"This is indeed my miscalculation." Sha Jia admitted, "However, the trap you designed can only be used as speculation, not evidence." "I know, so I didn't voice my doubts," Chris said. "Speaking of probability, the answer to the matter of drawing small balls to determine the order should be revealed, right?" Xia Houshen said. "I've cracked this method a long time ago—but let the designer himself reveal it." Chris looked at Sha Jia. "It's not my design, it's also Nantian's wisdom." Sha Jia said: "Actually, it's very simple to put it bluntly. The box for drawing small balls is similar to a magic prop box with compartments - 196 are hidden in the dark compartment." The small balls are numbered 1 to 14, and there are 14 balls in each number. I can use the miniature remote control hidden on my body to control the small balls in the compartment.”

"Ryoma was the first to touch the ball. Well, the 14 balls of size 6 in the dark grid will appear at the bottom of the box. When Nan Tian touches the second area, the box will become 13 balls of size 14 again. Lake In the third area, there are 12 small balls of size 4 in the box-an analogy." "So that's how it is..." Qianqiu felt ashamed, "It's the same principle as the cheating mahjong machine!" "It's easy to say, but why didn't you realize the mystery before?" Sha Jia sneered. "So, the remote control that controls the speakers in the hall is also hidden on your body?" Goth said in confusion, "But... how can you hide so many remote controls on your body?"

Sha Jia said with a somewhat smug look: "This is my wisdom. If these tiny remote controls are hidden in a pocket or a trouser bag, they may be searched out, but you never thought of— — I have these tiny remotes embedded in my underwear!" "It's like this..." Qianqiu suddenly realized, "No wonder... I remember the first time we sat on the chair, before the organizer's voice sounded in the hall, you kept touching your chest with your hand, so it turned out that you were pressing the remote control !" "So that's how it is." Xia Houshen let out a long breath, and all the mysteries were solved.

Beidou scratched his head and said, "It seems that with my ability, I still can't solve so many mysteries. I really am not made to be a detective." "So you've been playing the role of a great detective." Qian Qiu teased, "Oh, I went to your room to find you the night before yesterday, and found that you were still wearing socks while sleeping. In fact, it was because you were also conducting a secret investigation before." Beidou stuck out his tongue embarrassingly. "Wait, there is another question, I can't figure it out." Goth frowned and said, "Why did Sha Jia give Nan Tian's story a score? She knows that Nan Tian is the real sponsor, if I don't Everyone gave Nan Tian's story the highest score, and letting Nan Tian win, wouldn't that be exactly what she wanted? Why did she insist on letting herself win."

"About this question, I can guess the original," Chris said thoughtfully, "but let Saka speak for himself." "No..." Sha Jia shook his head, "I don't want to say it." "Well, I see then, as I thought," Chris said. Nan Tian looked at Sha Jia blankly, then walked over and grabbed her shoulder, "Sha Jia, don't hide anything from me anymore, tell everything." Sha Jia looked at Nan Tian, ​​with tears streaming down her face, she could only tell the truth: "Nan Tian, ​​before you did this, you told me—although you really want to take revenge on those who framed you, but you also know that This is an out-and-out crime, so, regardless of whether you can win in the end, and regardless of the final outcome, after this incident..."

Speaking of this, Sha Jia choked up, and after a long time, she continued: "You ask me to de-hypnize you, and then you announce to everyone that you are the organizer, and then you surrender to the police and give yourself up. Bear all the charges, and I will get out..." "That's right...that's it." Cold sweat dripped from Dark Fire's head, "The plot in this dream inspired me and made me conceive this story." "The thing is," Chris points out, "you wake up and find Saga still by your side, so you think it can't be her who's up to something—it turns out it's her." Dark Fire looked at Sajia, as if he couldn't believe that he would completely fall into this little woman's trap. Chris continued: "As for the night when you finish telling the story, you will see the 'living dead' walking downstairs. Obviously, it is also a good show that Sajia Weiwei fouled Ryoma's story-she deliberately wore Wei Chi. The clothes that are made, let you see the back, the purpose is to cause the story told by Ryoma the next day to 'foul'!" "That's right...it should be like this." Nan Tian's eyes were also moist, "You have no reason to bear all this, you are just an executor who is used by me, and I am the organizer of this game." "No! You didn't use me! Everything I did was voluntary!" Sha Jia threw herself into Nan Tian's arms, "I told you, I'm willing to do anything to protect you!" "Sha Jia, you are... so stupid." Nan Tian said with tears in his eyes, "Are you going to take everything on your own head and take the blame of the sponsor instead of me?" He still couldn't figure out one thing. "But why are you giving my story a 1 to prevent me from winning?" "Because I don't want to de-hypnotize you, I want you to completely forget about the past... I don't want you to follow your own plan, and after this game is over, you surrender yourself—this is tantamount to suicide!" Nan Tian was confused and couldn't understand what Sha Jia was saying: "I won this game...what does it have to do with hypnosis?" Sha Jia bit her lip and pondered for a long time, raised her head to look at Nan Tian's Lian, and said with tears in her eyes: "Because...we made an appointment at the beginning. The hypnosis I performed on you has a condition for automatic release, that is—— You win this game! In other words, the moment you win, your hypnosis will be lifted." These words struck Nan Tian like an electric current, he suddenly felt a splitting headache, as if a little person was rummaging through boxes and cabinets in his head, trying to retrieve the memories locked deep in his subconscious mind one by one. He remembered, remembered everything. Sha Jia looked into Nan Tian's eyes, knowing that the hypnosis had been lifted, she said with tears in her eyes: "Nan Tian, ​​you've already remembered, haven't you? So, you know the second reason why I want to win this competition, right? ——I am not a writer of suspense novels. The story I told was actually created by you, so if I win, it means you win, and it is true. Nan Tian, ​​the final winner of this game is you !" Nan Tian hugged Sha Jia and closed his eyes. He suddenly realized that the outcome of this game was not important to him at all. On the numeric keypad, Nan Tian entered an 8-digit password. With a bang, the iron door opened. Beidou, Lake, Xia Houshen, Goth... Everyone rushed out of the prison where they were imprisoned for 14 days in ecstasy, breathing in fresh air.Weeping with joy, after running for a certain distance, they turned their heads and looked at the dark castle standing in the wilderness, filled with emotions for a moment. They spent 14 long days of fear and fear here, but it was also the happiest time in their lives. Unforgettable 14 days. Now, they stared at Nan Tian and Sha Jia who were still standing at the gate of the prison, and the white whale said, "What should I do? Report the crime?" "It's up to them." Arakaki sighed, "I think they know what to do." "Yes, let's go," Xia Houshen said stretching his muscles, "I'm going home to hug my wife and daughter." "Is this a mountain? Damn, is there a phone booth there?" Lake looked around, "I have to report to my mother that I'm safe." "Well, I haven't taken a bath for half a month." Qianqiu stroked her hair and said, "It's really unbearable, I want to go back and take a good bath, and then go to a spa..." "I have to take a good rest for half a year, and then write a new suspense novel," Ryoma said with a smile. Goth said in tears, "I can finally go home, I miss my boyfriend so much..." He suddenly covered his mouth. (exposed) Beidou sneered and waved his hands back, rolled his eyes: "I've thought of it a long time ago!" "Sha Jia, you can go too." Nan Tian said. Sha Jia shook his head gently, leaning gently on Nan Tian's shoulder, "Why are you so stupid, I hurt you." "No," Shajia said with her eyes closed, "Knowing you is the happiest thing in my life." "Shajia, you still..." "Nan Tian, ​​look, the stars in the sky are so beautiful," Sha Jia said happily, pointing to the brightest star in the night sky. Nan Tian stopped talking, he held Sha Jia tightly in his arms, and looked up at the starry sky with her, the tears and stars shone brightly on their faces, like silver elves.According to the confessions of Nan Tian and Sha Jia, the police found the bodies of Yu Chicheng and Xu Wen in the freezer in the secret room of the abandoned prison. On June 2, the Court of S City made the first-instance judgment. Nan Tian was sentenced to ten years in prison for the crime of premeditated kidnapping and homicide, and Guo Wanting (Sha Jia) was sentenced to death for the crime of kidnapping and intentional homicide, deprived of political power for life.Both Nan Tian and Guo Wanting accepted the verdict and did not appeal. This case involved a number of well-known writers, the method of committing the crime was bizarre, and the perpetrator was the heir of the Guo family consortium, which caused a sensation all over the country and shocked the world.Media reports are overwhelming, but they can only speculate on what happened within these 14 days—the 10 authors of suspense novels who were kidnapped and survived refused to disclose any details.Nan Tian and Guo Wanting, who were arrested, refused to accept any interviews. After several months of excitement, this mysterious secret room kidnapping and murder case gradually cooled down. One day in October, Guo Wanting, who was serving her sentence in prison, received a notice of someone visiting her prison.She came to the meeting room wearing a light yellow prison uniform and saw the people waiting here. Chris (this guy appeared at this time), they stared at each other for a minute through the thick glass, sat down separately, and picked up the phone receiver. "Shaka, are you okay inside?" Chris asked. Sha Jia didn't answer, she stared at the other party silently for a long time, and asked, "Who are you?" "Chris." "Is that the Chris I know?" "It's the Chris you know." "Not your 'brother'?" "surely not." Sha Jia looked at him indifferently: "What did you ask me for?" Chris thought for a moment: "I want to ask you some questions." "Why didn't I confess you after I surrendered?" Chris nodded slightly: "Yes." (Fuck, this stuff is very hidden) Sha Jia smiled sadly: "Do I have evidence to prove that you coerced me into doing this? You clearly know that your brother used an anonymous email to contact me." "Yes, you have no evidence, but is that the only reason?" Chris said, "You chose to surrender yourself and were sentenced to death. Obviously, you will not be afraid of the exposure of the original incident. If that is the case, why don't you bring this matter to light?" Tell me the real motive of the incident? Even if I can’t be convicted because of insufficient evidence, at least I can be suspected and investigated, and I can’t feel at ease like I am now.” Sha Jia looked at Chris: "Do you know that my conversation will be recorded? You dare to say these words when you visit the prison. Aren't you afraid that this is evidence?" Chris shrugged, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Sha Jia looked back at the prison guard standing not far behind her, and she understood, "You are really powerful, Chris." "Don't worry about it, Sha Jia, just answer my question." Sha Jia spread his hands: "Why should I confess you? Is this good for me? It will allow Nan Tian and I to escape moral and legal sanctions." ?" "Of course not, but—" Chris pondered, "don't you hate me?" Sha Jia smiled and shook his head: "No, I don't hate you at all, thought, I thank you." Chris squinted, staring at her. "Because you let me know Nan Tian—that's the reason, and, even though we are both in prison now, we love each other." Chris nodded with a smile: "So, Nan Tian doesn't know your secret?" (Fuck, they are all people with secrets) "Chris," Sha Jia said with a stern and cold expression that he had never seen before, "if you dare to let Nan Tian know what happened to me before—I swear, at all costs, I will get out of prison and find you, kill you."
