The End of Ten Days

Chapter Vol. 1 Ch. 9

After reading these three characters, everyone was somewhat stunned.

“I drew the ‘Liar’ card,” Qi Xia said slowly. “But whether I reveal this card or not doesn’t matter, because it’s really not important.”

He picked up the card and casually tossed it in the center of the table.

“If I’m not mistaken, each one of you has the ‘Liar’ card.”

No one moved after hearing this. After a while, Officer Li finally spoke: “So... are you saying everyone just lied?”

“Exactly,” Qi Xia nodded. “You all are smarter than I thought. Each of you added a small lie to your story, making the story fit perfectly without affecting the plot logic.”

Officer Li thought for a moment, as if he had figured something out.

“If what you’re saying is true...” Officer Li sighed meaningfully. “Then the situation becomes even more complicated.”

Everyone looked at Officer Li, confused.

Officer Li continued: “According to the rules, only if all of us choose the Liar can we survive together. But if that happens, the Liar loses. So, we...”

Dr. Zhao was the first to understand what Officer Li meant. “You mean... we can vote freely, because everyone’s lying, making it a ‘win-win game,’ where only the person voted out has to die?”

“Exactly,” Officer Li nodded. “The best strategy now is to concentrate all votes on one person, minimizing the loss. After all, those who are left can survive...”@@@@

His words cast a heavy silence over the room, while the Goat Head remained unmoving.

So, they were just voting for one person to die?

Qi Xia sighed helplessly and looked at Officer Li. “Officer, is it your hobby to interrupt others? Does it give you a sense of accomplishment?”

“What do you mean by that?” Officer Li frowned and replied. “Aren’t I helping you come up with a plan?”

“I don’t need your help,” Qi Xia said without hesitation. “Your idea would get everyone killed.”

“What?” Officer Li froze. “Why would I get everyone killed? Am I wrong? If everyone’s lying, then wouldn’t any vote be valid?”

“Teacher Xiao Ran, you were carrying that child. Did you really dodge the car that was coming at high speed?”

Xiao Ran’s eyes flickered.

“Dr. Zhao, the ceiling of the neurology operating room is usually built underground for stability. But you said the ‘ceiling’ collapsed. What does it mean if the ceiling of the underground collapsed?”

Dr. Zhao turned his head away.

“Han Yimo, you said you didn’t know what was going on, but when writing, you hate being disturbed. Don’t you remember how you got here?”

Han Yimo sighed slightly.

“Lawyer Zhang, your car was crashed into a crack. How deep was that crack?”

Lawyer Zhang crossed his arms, expressionless.

“Officer Li, what brand of car do you drive? Can it instantly recline the seat and free you from being bound behind?”

Officer Li touched the red marks on his neck, hesitating to speak.

“Lin Qing, your ceiling collapsed too, but you said your studio was on a high floor. Once a high floor starts collapsing, the whole building wouldn’t exist anymore, right?”

Lin Qing lowered her head deeply.

Seeing the expressions of the crowd, Qi Xia gritted his teeth and said:

“Everyone, admit it. Including myself, we’re all already dead.”
