Chapter 53: Chapter 44 Black and White Ga 4
“Sloppy Uncle’s” finger pointed towards “black.”
…
…
The system prompt sounded:
“Incorrect choice, unfortunately, you have been eliminated.”
——————————————
Sloppy Uncle stared at the brightly red system prompt on the screen, blinking in disbelief, a look of confusion on his face.
“What’s going on?” he muttered dumbfounded.
Beside him, “Muscle Sister” glanced at him indifferently and said, “Seems like your elentary-level theory of human nature isn’t up to snuff, huh?”
Sloppy Uncle turned to look at “Utility Pole,” still sowhat bewildered.
“What did you choose?” he asked.
“Utility Pole” looked at the uncle and said expressionlessly, “Whatever it was, it’s aningless now. You…are out.”
The uncle looked at him vacantly, then turned to scan the other people around as if he was just coming to terms with the situation.
“Yeah, I never thought I’d be the first to go,” he said helplessly as he rubbed his face and sighed, “Ah well, I’m off. Have fun, everyone.”
With that, he stood up and walked towards the doorway.
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and looked back at the crowd with a sowhat resentful expression.
“Be careful, in the first round… I chose ‘black’…”
After he said that, he turned and walked out.
….
….
Silence.
Everyone pondered quietly.
After “Sloppy Uncle” was the first to be eliminated and left, the others who were still seated didn’t speak. Everyone looked at each other or avoided eye contact, making the atmosphere incredibly eerie for a mont.
“What did he an by that, that he didn’t lie in the first round? Is the person who always breaks the rules still among us?” Wang Billy rubbed his hands together, interlocking his fingers. His eyes were filled with suspicion as he looked at the others.
“Muscle Sister” frowned and said, “Not necessarily, it might be sothing he said on purpose for us to hear.”
“Utility Pole” seed to be still affected by his vote, or really believed the uncle, but after thinking for a few seconds, he said, “No, he had no reason to say that just before leaving. Except to earn a few more curses behind his back, it has no aning.”
“Muscle Sister” leaned back and said with a flippant shrug, “Who knows, you’re not unfamiliar with the guy. One ti during a mission, he shalessly begged
for a clotting spray.”
After she spoke, she seed to rember sothing, glanced at the Glasses Guy, looked at Chen Xiao, and her frown lingered on the cut at the corner of his mouth for several seconds.
“And then… you two newcors… why aren’t you speaking up?” she asked them suspiciously, “Shy or what?”
…
Glasses Guy lightly touched the center of his glasses with his finger and pushed them up, the white light reflecting off the lenses obscured his eyes.
“This question is actually quite difficult to answer,” he said calmly, still wearing his polite smile, “Telling the truth as is might co off as quite rude, but lying to be polite is even more unacceptable, so…”
He slightly raised his head, and through the glasses, one could see his smiling eyes.
He said earnestly,
“I think you all are too simple-minded.”
…
…
For a mont, the silence returned, making the atmosphere incredibly awkward.
…
“Heh,”
A soft chuckle broke the silence as Wang Billy looked at Glasses Guy and said, “Offend everyone first, then plan for a reverse strategy?”
He spoke with a touch of scorn.
“It’s a nice idea, but now that only five of us are left, aning there are only four votes. You have no idea who’s deceiving you. Even if the result is 3-1, no, even 4-0, it won’t prove anything. So your approach, besides irritating us, is pointless.”
After listening, Glasses Guy smiled and remained silent, seemingly in deep thought, or perhaps he just didn’t feel like engaging with others, or he thought it was unnecessary to say anything more.
Suddenly, the phone rang again. Glasses Guy’s avatar appeared on the screen.
And after everyone saw his color, they weren’t in a hurry to make a choice, just waiting for Glasses Guy to say sothing.
…
…
What about the man with glasses? He remained silent, not saying anything, simply turning sideways, pressing his right thumb against his temple to support his head, while his index finger tapped the fra of his glasses slowly and rhythmically.
“Tap”
“Tap”
“Tap”
He sat there continuously, neither agitated nor excited, as if his thoughts had drifted off sowhere else.
His attitude made it hard for the others to pay him any attention for the ti being.
Soon, four minutes had passed, and everyone had clicked on their choices.
——————————————
Choice results:
Black: 2
White: 2
Please select your color: “Black” “White”
Ti: 01:00
——————————————
Wang Billy smiled faintly and said, “Ha ha, really unlucky, the worst possible outco.”
Indeed, at this point in the ga, it was common to encounter a 2 to 2 result, and under such circumstances, very few deductions could be made; it was almost entirely reliant on guessing, gambling on that 50% chance.
As everyone seed to take so delight in the misfortune, the behavior of the man with glasses once again caused a stir among them.
Because he, well,
Did nothing at all.
Yes, he simply sat there, tapping his glasses’ fra with his finger, looking utterly distracted.
“Utility pole” frowned. Of course, he had no intention of speaking up to remind him.
Everyone quietly waited for him to make a choice, or to do nothing and just let the ti run out.
Soon, half a minute had passed.
The man with glasses suddenly seed to snap to attention, as if an alarm in his head had gone off, calling him back from whatever else he was pondering.
After coming to his senses, he still didn’t look at his mobile phone, not even sparing a glance at the remaining ti, but spoke with a relaxed deanor.
“Now, would anyone like to tell
my color?”
…
As soon as he said this,
Everyone looked at him sowhat taken aback, with Wang Billy even opening his mouth slightly.
“Hey, is this your strategy?” he said in disbelief, “Are you just waiting for soone else to tell you? Even if soone told you, would you believe them?”
The man with glasses still smiled but ignored him.
Just then, a voice rang out.
“Black!”
The person who spoke was Chen Xiao.
Moreover, since he was sitting beside the man with glasses, he easily turned his head to look at him, and habitually stretched his mouth into a grin that spoiled the mood for anyone who saw it, as if he had finally stumbled upon sothing interesting.
“I just t soone a while back who always squints when he smiles… umm… chap. To be honest, since then, I’ve really taken a dislike to people like you who always hide their eyes.”
He craned his neck and leaned in close to the man with glasses.
“Why always hide? Look, I never do that!”
Saying so, he used his hand to pry open his upper and lower eyelids, staring straight at the man with glasses with his big eyeballs.
“Co on, look into my eyes, inside is sincerity”
…
“Or deception. Hehehehehe.”
After speaking, he giggled neurotically a few tis.
