Chapter 329: 156: Breaking the Deadlock and Going on the Offensive_3
Under the meeting supervisor's brainwashing, facing the torment of losing everything once the game was abandoned, they were willing to continue into the sixth round.
But everyone was aware, once the sixth round was initiated...
It's likely that they would become further and further removed from being "human."
$320,000 was enough to drive many people crazy, and in some areas, it could even lead people to commit atrocious acts fit for beasts.
And those who participated in the evil game were probably only a step away from becoming beasts wearing human skins.
At this moment, Xinkui, having triggered the "Reduced Presence" trait, received a hidden option.
[As the sky slowly darkened, people gradually left. You kept thinking, who planned all this? The supervisor? No, after a newcomer slapped the supervisor, you noticed his attitude towards that person improved the next day.
There must be someone even higher up behind the scenes, watching you struggle and twist in agony like someone enjoying a Planet of the Apes warfare.
You are very eager to find that person.
Since your presence had been further reduced, hardly anyone cared what you were doing now, so you decided—]
A: Conduct a thorough search.
B: Go to the off-limits 16th floor.
C: Tell everything you're thinking to the enchantress, believing she's just as ill-fated as you and will stand with you, telling you what to do.
D: Do nothing and leave the company.
E: Do nothing.
Xinkui's heart pounded.
The hidden trait of the honest man—Reduced Presence—actually gave him a chance to get closer to the essence of events, maybe even easier than Jiang Xianwu.
But it was at this moment, an image of the senior Jiang Xianwu suddenly surfaced in Xinkui's mind.
"If it were me, I would definitely choose B or A,"
"But if it were Teacher Jiang, he would surely think, why should an honest person have such easy access to the core secrets?"
"This option, no matter how you look at it, seems like a trap. This has all come too easily..."
"If it were so easy to infiltrate, wouldn't the secrets of this company have been exposed long ago?"
With these thoughts, Xinkui chose E.
Do nothing, but also don't leave the company. He just waited in the washroom.
Soon, Xinkui encountered an unexpected event.
...
...
When Zhou Baiyu chose C, he quickly encountered an unexpected event.
[You have made an extremely important decision. You dislike being manipulated, and the other side of you decides to expose the person high above playing with you all. You want to show that person that you are the Hunter.
And on this day, you suddenly noticed a timid, honest figure hiding in the washroom, who had been there for two whole hours without coming out.
He seemed to have attracted no one's attention, his presence so faint.
You think it's interesting, so you head to the washroom. You find the honest man has been hiding here all along.
You decide—]
A: Attract attention by causing a crazy scene to divert everyone's attention (this option has a certain degree of randomness).
B: Greet the honest man within the range of surveillance cameras.
C: Act as if nothing has happened.
D: Sneak into the washroom and watch silently.
At the same time, when Xinkui chose the E option—"Do nothing"—he encountered an unexpected event.
[The company gradually emptied, but at this time, suddenly a figure came to the washroom. You feel he is coming for you. From the shoes, you recognize he is that irritable newcomer who hit someone on the first day.
You decide—]
A: Suffer in silence.
B: I've been exposed, so I might as well pretend that I've been suffering from constipation for two hours.
C: Win the person over, reveal your plan.
D: Watch quietly and wait for the person's next move.
Zhou Baiyu knew the honest man was Xinkui.
Xinkui did not know who the person outside was, and at this time, Xinkui decided to do something bold, which was to search for the identity of the puppeteer behind the scenes.
But this was no doubt a task of extreme danger and high difficulty.
Deep down, however, Xinkui felt his decision was the right one. Since he had triggered the "Low Presence" hidden trait, there must be a hidden subplot or even a main plot.
From a god's eye view, if Xinkui and Jiang Xianwu were to meet, it would be a more meaningful rendezvous than the previous encounter with Nick, the slightly mad rookie.
As long as the two of them could choose their respective correct options, they would be faced with a very crucial moment of decision, significantly altering the subsequent plot.
But those in the game cannot see the whole picture. At this moment, Xinkui faced a dilemma—
How should he deal with this belligerent newcomer who hit someone on his first day at the company?
Their choices, and who makes a move first, at the next moment, become extremely crucial.
If Zhou Baiyu makes a move first, the unexpected event facing Xinkui will change, and conversely, if Xinkui makes certain decisions, it might cause changes on Zhou Baiyu's end too.
The more this happens, the more one must deduce the opponent's intentions, as well as the hints within the choice of questions.
In this respect, although Xinkui had grown a lot, he was still much more naive compared to "rookie Jiang Xianwu."
Zhou Baiyu quickly realized that this was an extremely critical opportunity!
