Survivorship Bias

    The battle situation of the duel is surging.

    The wanderer with 6 health bars is older than the robber Liu Chengwei with 7 health bars. He would have lost by one point and lost a health bar, but Wu You stepped into a duel within the threshold.

    "I stand on the opposite side of Liu Chengwei." Wu You's head is full of energy bars, with a cold boyish face, "I have 4 health bars, so our side adds up to 10. "

    Liu Chengwei was furious, and it was not surprising that Wu You stood up. He had been **** for tat before, not to mention that he was now the target of public criticism. He looked at everyone outside the duel threshold, everyone's face was covered with a layer of scarlet light, and they were very indifferent.

    No one stood up for him, including Ueno, who has always been regarded as a companion by him, who just looked at Yang Ming from the audience and did not move a step.

    In this way, Liu Chengwei changed from 7 health bars to 6, and was stabbed by Lao Yu with a short knife during the fight.

    Looking at Liu Chengwei covered in blood, An Wujiu said softly, "This is how you look like a vicious criminal."

    Although Liu Chengwei was so unwilling, he did not start a duel against Zhong Yirou. Zhong Yirou, who escaped the catastrophe, exchanged her ability to restore a blood bar to Yang Ming to keep herself from participating in the duel, but Yang Ming did not agree.

    "You all suspect cultists, even if I agree. Cultists threaten everyone equally. Who knows who the next victim will be?"

    He speaks righteously, but in fact hides his selfishness.

    But such remarks also pointed out the voices of other people. In this place where trust is lacking, everyone is reluctant to trust other people casually, especially the other party is at risk of cultists.

    Revolting against Yang Ming is equivalent to resisting the open card Ueno behind Yang Ming, and there may be hidden cards. No one dares to take this risk for others.

    The helpless Zhong Yirou adopted the strategy of first attacking the stronger, launched a duel against Lao Yu, and traded her own ability to get the support of Wu You and Ueno. Advantage, win Lao Yu and save his only life.

    But her condition is that whoever only has the last blood bar left first will help whoever recovers.

    In the end, Liu Chengwei only had five blood bars left, which was the same as that of Lao Yu. Zhong Yirou did not lose blood, but suffered some skin trauma.

    After three duels, the situation on the field has also changed dramatically. The originally stable trio were also cracked and no longer trusted each other.

    The red and black lines of others also gradually surfaced during the duel.

    The injured Liu Chengwei and Lao Yu stepped down from the duel threshold and planned to return to their room to use materials to heal their injuries. When they left the door, An Wu Jiu, who was waiting outside, put his hand directly on Liu Chengwei's shoulder. It made him look sideways uncomfortably, but the hand went down his shoulder again, and finally stopped for a moment outside the right pocket of his trousers.

    Old Yu also saw this scene, he was puzzled and stood there for two seconds.

    What happened last night.

    If Liu Chengwei is really a cult, why would An Wujiu have anything to do with him?

    Old Yu can't figure this out, but he can't start with An Wujiu, this is his red line, and it is higher than his own survival value, only if he survives, can he have a chance to enter the world Four.

    Even if An Wu Jiu really joins forces with the cultists, he can't move him.

    You have to find a way to confess the red line to An Wujiu and make an alliance with him.

    Wu You, who achieved his goal, stayed at the duel threshold for half a minute. After leaving the duel room, he zipped up his hoodie to the top, stood up with the collar to cover his mouth, and went straight without saying a word Go to the pool room.

    This is where Yang Ming and him agreed.

    After entering, he picked up the tripod that framed the ball on the table, and the billiard **** of different colors were scattered and rolled to various places on the table.

    Just scored a goal and the door was pushed open.

    "The posture is quite professional." Yang Ming's dry voice came from behind.

    Wu You closed the pole and turned to face him, "Brother Yang."

    "I gave you a wink just now, and you are quite clever." Yang Ming walked to the table, picked up another club, smeared the tip with smart powder, and then bent down, " After chatting last night, why are you fooling around with Lao Yu again?"

    A ball hits a red ball not far away.

    "What are you talking about?" Yang Ming asked.

    Wu You tucked his hands into the pockets of his hoodie and whispered, "He talks to me about his younger brother, and I talk to him about my older brother."

    "Oh? You still have a brother?" Yang Ming straightened up and looked at him with interest, "How old?"

    "As big as me." Wu You replied.

    "Yo, twins." Yang Ming bent down again and hit a beautiful straight ball.

    Wu You did not respond, in his opinion it was the default.

    "I told you last night, how did you think about it?" With a hole in one, a smile appeared on Yang Ming's face.

    "Well." Wu You put the club in his hand on the ground, "I try, he may not trust me."

    “An Wujiu is very cunning. I saw that only a child like you can make him reluctantly let down his guard.”

    Wu You hummed softly again and said, "I just saw him stuffing Liu Chengwei's pocket, it looked like a note or something."

    The cue that Yang Ming was about to play with suddenly stopped, and his eyes narrowed at the ball.

    At this time, the object of their discussion, An Wujiu, was drinking champagne that had run out of steam. When he saw Ueno passing by, he immediately followed.

    "What are you running for?" He smiled, "I don't eat people."

    Ueno didn't know what he was going to do, and before he could speak, he was dragged by An Wujiu's arm into the small office next door.

    With a bang, the door was closed.

    An Wujiu put the wine bottle in his hand on the table where the printer was placed, put his hands back, and sat down on the desk by himself.

    "What are you, what are you doing? I'm going to the bathroom." Ueno wanted to run, but An Wujiu stretched out his long legs and stepped on the wall next to Ueno, blocking one of his legs. his way.

    "Hold it down." An Wu Jiu glanced at it, took a deep breath, and adjusted his patience, "Although I'm not a good person, I still have a bit of a gentleman's demeanor. After speaking, I will naturally let you go."

    Ueno still remembers how he humiliated An Wujiu at the beginning, but now it's too late to regret it, so he can only speak, "Then you say..."

    An Wujiu stared at him with those innocent eyes, "Aren't you afraid of your good eldest brother besides me now?"

    Ueno knew what Yang Ming he was talking about, but he only frowned slightly, "Why should I be afraid of him?"

    "Yes, why." An Wujiu seemed to have suddenly forgotten what he was going to say, raised his chin to the sky and thought, Ueno took the opportunity to run, but was kicked by An Wujiu, Didn't kick him, just stepped on the wall, blocking his way again.

    "I remembered, this brain." An Wujiu patted his head and laughed, "Guess, in your iron triangle, who is the bigger threat to him. "

    "Now...now of course it's Liu Chengwei, he may be a cult."

    An Wujiu shook his head and said with a smile, "Liu Chengwei is just a broken knife, it has no use other than being used by Yang Ming to kill people."

    "Now this knife may still stab him, of course, he has to scrap it and find a new good knife."

    Ueno's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and suddenly became nervous, "What do you mean?"

    “Don’t understand this?” An Wujiu frowned, showing a look of pity.

    "You are his spare knife, but the survival value is only two points less than his. You said, if his red line is not connected to you, you will survive..." An Wujiu collapsed Mouth, "Is it a good thing or a bad thing for him."

    After finishing speaking, An Wu Jiu looked up, "His crush is more like Liu Chengwei than you."

    After listening to An Wujiu's words, Ueno only felt cold on the soles of his feet.

    Of course he knew that Yang Ming's crush was not him, but the situation was the other way around, his red line was connected to Yang Ming.

    Similarly, he understood what An Wujiu meant, Yang Ming not only used him, but also feared his ability and survival value.

    An Wujiu tapped his knee lightly with his fingers, "Assuming that the red line is not connected to Liu Chengwei, Yang Ming knows that he is probably a cultist, so he probably won't care how likely it is , in order to protect yourself, I will instigate you and others to directly fight Liu Chengwei's remaining five lives, how can you keep it?"

    Seeing that Ueno's face was already not very good, An Wujiu continued: "If Yang Ming really wants to keep you, he will definitely not let you fight Liu Chengwei. Your health bar is low, he You will lose another powerful helper.”

    Ueno listened and said in a daze: "If he doesn't want to protect me..."

    An Wujiu shrugged, "In the next round, if he asks you to fight Liu Chengwei, then you'll be finished. I think it's pretty quick, after all, Yang Ming's mental state must be broken."

    Ueno hurriedly said: "He will also treat me as an abandoned son and kick me out of the league..."

    An Wujiu laughed, "You are too naive, is that really all you are? When the time comes to duel with Liu Chengwei, I am not sure if there will be someone on his side to help, don't forget, this There are eight people who want to curse you."

    He bent over and approached Ueno, and said softly: "Yang Ming is reluctant to lose you directly, of course he wants to kill you once or twice, and then save you, but he is frustrated and makes you follow him. That's the way to control a person."

    This kind of vicious control method was told by him, which made Ueno's heart fall into an ice cave.

     "However, do you think that a person like him will only find you as a backup tool?"

    The more Ueno listened, the more he felt chills all over his body, but he really didn't, Yang Ming had already started contact with Wu You, and he was completely unaware of the extent of their cooperation.

    "You, how do you know if he thinks like you..."

    An Wujiu smiled and tapped his index finger on his face casually.

    "Because I can read minds." He smiled and said the most unbelievable words, then stretched out his hand and raised his eyebrows at Ueno.

    "Your hand, put it up."

    Ueno looked at him and did not dare to move.

    “My patience is running out.” An Wujiu’s mouth turned down, his eyes turned cold for a moment.

    Ueno listened, he could only stretch out his trembling hand and put it lightly on the pair of white hands, the next second, An Wujiu shook his head, raised his head, his tone was somber. God babble.

    "Your red line is Yang Ming, and the black line is connected..." An Wu Jiu lowered his head, let go of his hand, wiped lightly on his collar, his index and middle fingers stretched out He came out and pointed to his eyes, "The guy with green eyes."

    For a moment, Ueno was stiff. In front of this person, he is like a transparent person, and any hidden thoughts are undoubtedly revealed.

    He knows that there is no such thing as mind reading, but An Wujiu has seen it completely.

    "You are so loyal to Yang Ming, the red line is too obvious." An Wujiu turned his neck, "What about the black line... Exclude me first, otherwise you may have to stand here. shivering."

    An Wujiu's smile was very beautiful, but it also made Ueno fearful, he lowered his head, his backlit eyes were unfathomable.

    "You are most afraid of Shen Ti, it must be him."

    "What the **** are you doing?" Ueno's shoulders couldn't help shaking slightly.

    An Wujiu covered his heart, frowned, aggrieved expression, "I have a good heart, but you misunderstood me." After he finished speaking, he put down his hands, and his expression changed from weakness immediately. Be proud.

    "You know what? In this game, the stupidest but easiest mistake to make is to help your crush succeed."

    He continued: "Yang Ming's condition, he may have a crush on Liu Chengwei. Even if Liu Chengwei survives to the end, he can only get 2 more points, his own survival value is 8 points, add up That's 10 points. If... he curses the last person with the highest survival value other than himself, that's Zhong Yirou, that's 17 points."

    An Wujiu shook his head and tutted a few times, "What a high score."

    Ueno's heart was sinking in a cold lake, he couldn't raise his emotions and couldn't make many expressions, "...he was very likely to take the first place." He never expected The first position, as long as you can enter the next round alive.

    “Don’t be depressed.” An Wujiu leaned closer, “As long as he is not cursing Zhong Yirou, he is someone else. Then you have a chance.”

    The object of Yang Ming's curse is Zhong Yirou, he is very clear about this, but he is gambling, betting that the tool person in front of him doesn't know Yang Ming's red and black lines.

      Not to be the first."

    An Wujiu's words are very dense, the amount of information is so large that Ueno can't even react, and he can't even calculate, but just these words, something has been planted in Ueno's heart.

    He kept persuading himself, don't believe a word of An Wujiu's words, don't take it to heart. He is by no means a good person. If he can find himself, he just wants to use him, or even kill him.

    He left in despair, walked in the dark corridor, and finally came to the living room, and sat down on the sofa in the last row. Along the way, a very small and very lucky idea sprouted in his heart.

    Can you make an alliance with An Wujiu, can you ask him to kill Shen Ti?

    Whoever can help him kill Shen Ti is good, he wants Shen Ti's point, and he wants Shen Ti to die immediately.

    Before being abandoned by Yang Ming, he wants to win against Yang Ming, which can be done.

    Will Yang Ming abandon him?

    Does he really need himself?

    In a trance, a person sat down beside him. Ueno turned his head to the side, it was Yang Ming. The other party didn't seem to notice his restlessness, or maybe he didn't care about the so-called state of the chess piece at all, and just used his condescending master attitude to tell him like he was giving orders to a dog.

    "I can't wait, he should be a cultist. If I kill him again tonight, there's no chance."

    It is he who has no chance.

    Ueno pretended to ask: "Who?"

    "Liu Chengwei." Yang Ming said coldly, "Go and fight him."

    "Now."

    --------------------

    The author has something to say:

    The brainwashed Ueno: If I see Yang Ming's face clearly and join forces with An Wujiu, can he help me kill Shen Ti...

    The head of MLM is innocent: ah forgot to tell you, he is my crush (wink)
