(This chapter is from Miao Mucheng's perspective)
[Time: Third day, daytime]
……
……
They took their videotapes and put them into the machine to watch. After putting on their headphones, everyone fell silent. Only the sound of trays entering and leaving echoed in the classroom, which was especially ear-piercing.
Although he didn't know what the other people were watching on the videotape, he was pretty close to it.
Miao Mucheng calmed himself down and observed everyone's expressions…
Almost everyone's expressions changed drastically as they watched the video, except for the calm Ten Gods, Mist Cut, and…sigh!？
Miao Mucheng was surprised to find that Celeste, who was usually very calm, was now…biting her lips and staring at the display screen with a livid expression. She seemed very angry.
Miao Mucheng even noticed a trickle of blood at the corner of Celeste's mouth…
What kind of terrifying thing could have caused Classmate Celeste to be like this? Miao Mu sincerely thought.
It didn't take long for the recording to finish playing.
"This, this can't be true…! It's…fabricated…"
"How…could it be true…haha…how could it be…"
"I…I've had enough…Let me out!!”
Everyone watched the contents of the videotape in disbelief, and their faces turned ashen.
There was no one left…to hide their confusion. Fear…was spreading from within, making people tremble uncontrollably…
"I see…Is this the 'motive' that guy was talking about? Indeed…using friends and family as a threat is more conducive to making us kill each other…"
Fog calmly analyzed the black and white bear's intentions, but this calmness was a little scary at this moment...
"Prisoner's Dilemma…"
Ten Gods pushed up his glasses and said in a low voice.
"What?"
Ten Gods glanced at Yamada and was too lazy to explain.
"A representative example of a non-zero-sum game.”Fog Cut explained to everyone.
" The two prisoners were interrogated separately. If they chose to cooperate, it would be a win-win situation. However, in fact, the two prisoners often chose to betray each other because they could not confirm the other party's attitude due to their interests. Even if they communicated, they could not be sure whether the other party was lying or not.
In short, there will always be someone who wants to betray the other party…"
"That, that means…we are in this situation now…
You say that…we have to work together…but in your heart, you're thinking about betrayal…"
As soon as Fog Cut finished speaking, Fu Chuan continued to tell the truth with a pale face.
" But, but, you can't think like that. If you do that, you'll fall right into the hands of the black curtains…"
Ishimaru said hesitantly, hoping that everyone would not destroy the trust between their companions.
"…You're the one who's saying this, aren't you? You're the one who's planning to make everyone careless!”Kuwata roared angrily at Ishimaru.
" W-What did you say?!"
Kuwata and Ishimaru started arguing.
A conflict instantly arose between the companions, and it seemed like their previous 'friendship'…
It was so cheap…
"Your quarrel is the purpose of the conspiracy. Don't you understand?”
Xiao Ying stopped their argument in time and received the approval of the others. Only then did the tense atmosphere ease a little.
"Then…how about we communicate with each other?”
Shiunko Enoshima carefully asked everyone," Tell me what you saw…It should be easier, right? Moreover…
You guys care too…? Someone else's video…"
Indeed, everyone was a little concerned about the contents of each other's videotapes.
Out of concern, Miao Mucheng asked the dance studio beside him…
“……”
"Wu Yuan, what kind of video did you see?”
Miao Mucheng noticed that Wu Yuan's expression was starting to turn sour.
“……”
"Hurry up and tell me!" Hu Chuan weakly fanned the flames.
Sayaka's expression became even more unsightly. Her bright eyes were now a little unfocused, but there was more fear than words. Her lips were bitten until they turned white. She hugged herself in fear, as if she had thought of something incredible...
"Wu Yuan…classmate?"
Miao Mucheng was worried about the dance studio's psychological state, so he slowly reached out his hand to the dance studio's shoulder...
"…No!"
The dance studio screamed and shook Miao Mucheng's hand off. They ran out of the door in fear, leaving behind a stunned crowd.
"No! I'll go find her!"
Miao Mucheng was very worried about the dance studio, so he left a sentence behind and rushed out to chase after her...
"No!"
In the corridor, Miao Mucheng caught up with the panicking dance studio. In a panic, he grabbed her arm and tried to pull the dance studio back.
"Calm down! Dance studio!"
Miao Mucheng felt a tremble coming from his arms. He couldn't help but shiver, but he didn't have the time to care.
"No! Let me go!"
"As long as everyone helps each other! We will definitely be able to escape!"
"Liar! We can't escape!"
"Maybe the rescue team will come back before this! So please don't give up!"
"There won't be any rescue!!”
Wu Yuan kept struggling to break free from Miao Mucheng's hand and roared hysterically at Miao Mucheng.
"I'll definitely get you out of here! No matter what I do, I'll definitely help you get out!!”
He didn't know when it started, but Miao Mucheng seemed to be talking to him, deceiving him and encouraging the dance studio.
His words seemed to have stunned the dance studio.
"Woo…"
Wu Yuan could no longer hold back her tears. She instinctively pounced on Miao Mucheng and cried loudly in his arms.
"Waah…I beg you! Save me…!"
"Wuwuah…!"
……
Forced by the black and white bears to participate in the killing game between their companions, everyone had to choose between hypocrisy and reality.
Companion or enemy, in the process of revealing the layers of truth, sacrifices were bound to follow…
And after the necessary and unnecessary sacrifices…could he really find the answer?
Come to think of it, we are all prisoners…
Betraying each other under the control of the black market…
