Both River God and Xie Lingxi were very proactive, leading the team with their analysis and control, as if they were the leaders of the team.
Now that River God is dead, the next target is definitely him.
On the other side, Xishi said anxiously, "There's only one minute left, make a decision quickly. What should we do next? Close our eyes or open them?"
Xie Lingxi tentatively suggested, "Why don't we vote?"
Fire Demon shouted loudly, "I choose to open my eyes. I don't want anyone's head to roll into my arms or for our own people's heads to be inexplicably taken off. If we open our eyes, we still have a chance. Maybe we can figure out the rules."
Xishi looked at Zhang Yuanqing with anticipation, but since he didn't speak, she said, "I also think it's better to open our eyes. It feels too bad to close them."
After a few seconds of silence, Zhang Yuanqing said, "I agree..."
Xie Lingxi said, "I agree too."
Seeing this, Sun Wukong knew that his vote was meaningless. "It seems like I have no choice."
Open our eyes? If the roller coaster killing rule changes, it's fine, but if it's like what I guessed, that an evil person is killing, have you thought about the consequences of opening our eyes? Zhang Yuanqing felt a chill in his heart.
He almost revealed the truth about the 25ers in the team, but the Lingjing gave a hint to hide their identities.
This is not only to protect the evil person, but also to protect the captain. After all, it's not a game where everyone knows there are wolves and needs to find them from the beginning.
Hiding their identities is obviously a balance mechanism of the copy. If they reveal it recklessly, what if they trigger the punishment mechanism?
But they can't just continue like this because they can't afford to lose.
I thought of a way, but it's very risky... Zhang Yuanqing no longer hesitated and said in a deep voice, "Is there a possibility that, if... if the rule of closing our eyes hasn't changed, have you thought about the consequences? Only one River God died in the last round, and there are still two more rounds to go. Choosing between total annihilation and two deaths, I don't need to say more, do I?"
Everyone fell silent, and the situation was deadlocked.
Seeing no one arguing, Zhang Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I have another way."
Xishi's face lit up. "What way?"
"Choose someone to stay on the platform to watch, and the rest can continue to close their eyes and ride the roller coaster. This way, there will be someone to observe with their eyes, and those on the ride won't have to take risks, avoiding the danger of total annihilation."
Everyone was stunned, and Fire Demon frowned and said impatiently, "The copy information indeed didn't say that we must experience the facility together, but it also didn't say we can. You should know that this means risk."
The Lingjing won't tell you all the rules clearly and let you do them step by step. There's no such thing as a free lunch.
For example, the information given is to team up, but it won't tell you what will happen if you don't team up. Maybe nothing will happen, or maybe leaving the team means death.
"I know," Zhang Yuanqing said slowly. "So I'll take this risk and stay behind."

After speaking, he stared at his teammates. At this point, whoever opposed him would be the killer.
"I have no objection."
"I have no objection either."
"Little brother, we're counting on you."
"Wang Tai, be careful."
No one opposed.
The killer is smarter than I thought... Zhang Yuanqing sighed in his heart as he unbuckled his seatbelt and stepped out of the roller coaster."If staying here is risky, then the killer can kill two people in this round. In a situation where most people agree, choosing to go with the flow is a wise move, so the killer is very smart.
But for Zhang Yuanqing, staying here may be risky, but sitting in the car means certain death.
At this time, the countdown ended, and with a "thud" sound, the roller coaster slowly started moving.
Zhang Yuanqing was tense all over, while being vigilant of any potential danger around him, he stared sharply at the slowly climbing roller coaster.
Although sound cannot provide feedback, the image certainly can. As long as the killer dared to kill, he would immediately trigger his old illness and expose the culprit.
He didn't believe that the killer could kill with just their thoughts, because that didn't comply with the balance mechanism.
The roller coaster climbed to the top and suddenly rushed down, doing a free fall, and the beauties on the car screamed again.
"Rumble..."
Under Zhang Yuanqing's gaze, the roller coaster whizzed along the undulating steel track for two minutes before slowing down and returning to the platform.
As soon as the roller coaster stopped, the team members on the car immediately opened their eyes and looked around with tense expressions.
"No one died, no one died this time..."
Xishi exclaimed in surprise.
The others were all happy and relieved.
Xie Lingxi blinked her beautiful eyes and asked with a smile, "Did you observe anything?"
The team members immediately looked at Zhang Yuanqing, their eyes full of expectation.
As expected, the killer is not the rule, but the culprit... Zhang Yuanqing said, "I didn't see anything."
He was hinting at his teammates.
If the rule of closing their eyes didn't change, then how did the River God die? Use your brains to think about it.
At his words, the team members suddenly fell silent, lost in thought.
In the next five minutes, they were particularly silent, with no communication or discussion, and then completed the third round under Zhang Yuanqing's gaze.
"Phew, it's over..."
Xishi couldn't wait to release her safety belt, and with long legs, she jumped out of the roller coaster like she was escaping.
Zhang Yuanqing looked at her, and when the rest of the team left the roller coaster, he smiled happily and said, "It's my turn, wait here for a moment."
...
The roller coaster slowed down and stopped on the rooftop platform.
Zhang Yuanqing released his safety belt and joined the team waiting on the side.
As he stepped on the concrete floor, he suddenly felt a sense of relief and exhaustion, as if he had just survived a great disaster.
Finally, they completed an entertainment project, only one team member died, and it was within the controllable range. Ah, it was too difficult, S-level missions were too difficult... Zhang Yuanqing thought tiredly.
When he saw that everyone else had the same exhausted expression, he felt balanced.
At this time, Zhang Yuanqing received a copy prompt in his mind:
[You have completed the starting task (roller coaster), and successfully activated the "Heart-Pounding" task series. The entertainment facilities in this series are: roller coaster - underground parking lot - haunted house (ghost wedding) - detective reasoning hall. Please go to the second location within half an hour.]
Ghost, haunted house... Listening to the prompt in his mind, Zhang Yuanqing's face instantly stiffened.
Xie Lingxi, Xishi, the middle-aged man, the Fire Demon, and the Monkey King, their smiling faces also slowly disappeared.
The roller coaster was part of the Heart-Pounding series, which included a haunted house! Zhang Yuanqing looked sharply at the black-haired girl.
At the same time, he received another prompt in his mind:
[Ding, you have successfully led the team to complete a task. You have one opportunity to exercise your captain's power and point out the evil among the team members. The designated person will be eliminated!]【If no choice is made within thirty seconds, it will be considered as giving up the opportunity.】
