These words almost woke everyone up, including Qi Xia.

Yes, the winning chance of the "Liar" is indeed too high.

Qi Xia frowned. Why is his winning chance so high?

Telling lies to a group of strangers who don't know him or understand him, it would be difficult for anyone to see through any random lie.

Could it be that using a fake name can really cost eight lives?

Or...

If the person who drew the "Liar" card is the chosen one, then this is an unfair game from the beginning?

"No...," Qi Xia thought to himself, "If drawing the card means survival, it would be easier to just write 'alive' and 'dead' on the cards. Otherwise, what's the point of this nearly hour-long game?"

A deep sense of dissonance spread in his heart.

Qi Xia kept recalling every word Goat's Head had said.

Could it be...

"Hey, it's your turn," Qiao Jiajin reached out and patted Qi Xia.

Only then did he come back to his senses and found everyone looking at him with strange eyes.

There was no time to think too much now, otherwise, he would appear even more suspicious.

He took a deep breath and reorganized his thoughts.

In his mind, he kept recalling the words "My name is Li Ming, from Shandong"...

But at this moment, he absolutely couldn't use this answer. To find the "solution" to this game, he could only take a gamble.

Qi Xia opened his eyes and said to everyone, "Everyone, my name is Qi Xia, from Shandong, and I am a professional swindler."

"A swindler?"

As soon as Qi Xia said the first sentence, everyone present exclaimed. After all, the character of a "swindler" appeared in many people's stories.

This swindler connected everyone's stories together.

What's even more ironic is that they have to determine whether a "swindler" is telling the truth.

"Before coming here, I was trying to find a way to clean up the two million in my hands."

"In the end, I managed to keep one million four hundred thousand after a lot of effort. This is the most cost-effective way I can think of."

"But on the way back with the money, I suddenly encountered an earthquake. When I reached the door, I saw my house shaking continuously."

"Normally, at this time, you absolutely cannot enter the house, as there is always a risk of collapse. But I was very worried about the people inside, so I had to rush in at this time."

"Sure enough, as soon as I entered the room, the porch collapsed and I was trapped and lost consciousness."

Qi Xia calmly and briefly finished telling this story, and everyone stared at him with vigilance.

He knew he was doing something very risky, but only this way could he verify if his idea was correct.

As Qi Xia expected, Goat's Head slowly walked forward and said to everyone, "Very well, everyone has finished telling their stories. Now, there will be twenty minutes of free discussion time. After twenty minutes, each person needs to write down a name on the white paper in front of them."

"Exactly!" Qi Xia raised his eyebrows, "So there is indeed twenty minutes!"

Now everything makes sense!

Everyone became a little panicked at this moment. After all, there were only twenty minutes left before their life and death would be decided.

Qiao Jiajin and Li Shangwu both wanted to vote for each other, perhaps because of their professional relationship, they were full of hostility.

Dr. Zhao began to question the writer Han Yimo, as his story had no connection to anyone else's story.

Lawyer Zhang and Xiao Ran seemed to be suspicious of Qi Xia, while Lin Qin, Han Yimo, and Tian Tian were still hesitating.

According to the surface rules, the "Liar" has already won this game.

Because the votes were not unanimous.

The rules were clear, only if everyone chose the "Liar" could all eight people survive together.

Qi Xia didn't participate in any discussions and silently closed his eyes.

Countless clues were swirling in his mind.

Goat's Head said, "Among the storytellers, there is only one liar."

Goat's Head said, "The rules are absolute."

Goat's Head said, "You have been asleep for twelve hours."

Qi Xia opened his eyes. Now, there was only one piece of information missing, and this "question" could be solved.

But where is that information?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind.

The crisscrossing lines on the walls and floor instantly made him awake. He looked at the clock on the table, and it was almost 1 o'clock now.

"So that's how it is..." Qi Xia widened his eyes, "It was so close... I'm clearly a swindler, but I almost got deceived by all of you."

Everyone seemed to notice Qi Xia's strangeness, but this swindler had been silent from the beginning, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Hey, can you give me another piece of paper?" Qi Xia asked Goat's Head.

Upon hearing this, Goat's Head clearly hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "You... need another piece of paper?"

"Yes," Qi Xia nodded, "I need a piece of scrap paper."

Goat's Head remained silent for a while, then took out a piece of paper from his suit pocket and handed it to Qi Xia.

Qi Xia didn't hesitate and took the paper, then began to calculate.He counted the large squares on the wall, a total of nine, and the squares on the floor and the ceiling totaled sixteen.

"If I'm not mistaken..." Qi Xia quickly scribbled something, "Each square represents one square meter, which means we are currently in a room that is three meters high, and four meters in length and width..."

"Four times four times three... forty-eight cubic meters."

Qi Xia's hand trembled slightly: "Not enough... completely not enough..."

Everyone stared at Qi Xia in confusion. This was clearly a problem of deducing who was lying, but he was doing math problems.

He then listed many vertical forms, finally deriving the two numbers "54.6" and "49.14".

Upon seeing these two numbers, Qi Xia's face turned ashen, as if trying to accept something.

If his guess was completely correct, the current situation was truly terrifying.

His eyes kept flickering, his thoughts had long flown beyond the clouds.

The voices of the others arguing gradually subsided.

The man in front of them did not participate in any discussions, he was just constantly calculating something. Had he really found the "answer" to this problem?

After a long time, he finally raised his head and looked at everyone.

His eyes were filled with fear, hesitation, doubt, and confusion.

"Everyone." Qi Xia cleared his throat and spoke softly, "Originally, I didn't want to save you, but if you choose wrong, I will also die. I absolutely cannot die here, someone is waiting for me outside, so I have to find a way out no matter what. I can only announce the answer here, I hope you will listen to me carefully."

"Pretty boy, what do you mean by 'answer'?" Qiao Jiajin, who was closest to Qi Xia, was slightly taken aback, "Do you know who is lying?"

Qi Xia did not answer, but reached out to pick up his "identity card", then slowly revealed it in front of everyone.

"This is the identity I drew."

Everyone looked closely, the words "Liar" on the card were particularly conspicuous.
