From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"The second method is 'war'—"

Cheshire Cat smirked, “The Three Kingdoms period in the East was a time of war. As long as one side wiped out all the people from the other two sides, then the civil and military officials of that side, the spies of that side in the other two sides, and the spies of the other two sides in that side’s camp would all naturally pass the test.”

"That simple? All you need is the remaining members of the other side?"

Siwon narrowed his eyes. "Why don't we all just choose the same side from the beginning? There are only eighteen of us, and there are thirty-six rooms on any one wall, which is more than enough."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

If you only need one faction to complete the game, then choosing one faction from the start is the best approach.

But is it really that easy?

"Therefore, there is a patch. Once everyone chooses the same camp, those who have obtained the undercover identity will actively form an alliance and then vote by number to assassinate non-undercover agents."

Cheshire Cat chuckled and said, "Either all the undercover agents will be found, or the undercover agents will assassinate all the non-undercover agents."

I imagine you wouldn't like this approach.

The normal way for the three major factions—red, blue, and yellow—to fight is simple: apart from not being able to use force, forming alliances, or betraying each other, the first round of voting takes place at night, but members cannot choose members of their own faction.

Only undercover agents can defect to other members of their own faction.

By voting for other numbers, each number represents one vote. Once the number of votes exceeds half, that is, more than ten, an explosive device in the room of the number owner will be triggered, killing the person being voted for.

Besides that.

There will be a second special voting session in the evening, where you can vote freely and kill whomever you want, entirely according to your preferences.

Therefore, those who control the numbers hold the power of life and death.

Regarding bib numbers, you can use any method except for direct force to seize them; steal, cheat, or even pick up the bib numbers of the deceased.

In an instant.

Those without numbers were extremely nervous, while alchemists, magicians, and others who had numbers, or even multiple numbers, unconsciously reached into their pockets for their bib numbers.

Team Five has subtly split into three teams, and most members have abandoned the first idea of ​​passing the test through cooperation. Instead, they are preparing to win over others and eliminate their opponents through voting, thus quickly ending the test.

For a long time?

Practitioners can endure the monotonous exercise, but there are also ordinary people in the team. Their will is more fragile, and once they can't withstand the pressure, who knows what uncontrollable and bizarre things they might do.

Therefore, after exchanging a glance, the alchemist and magician had already decided on the course of the game—to seize the number bibs of other factions and eliminate all those who were not on their side.

"What about the third way?"

Alejandro Banner frowned and asked for a third option.

"The third way is quite simple: cooperation needs to be tested, namely, self-sacrifice."

Cheshire Cat revealed a playful expression, "If everyone in the Shu, Wei, and Wu camps were to be more sincere, they could openly reveal who was an undercover agent and who wasn't when they received their identities. If there were fewer undercover agents, they could sacrifice themselves to ensure the survival of the non-undercover agents, and vice versa."

There is no perfect solution in the world. When faced with difficulties, sacrifices must always be made, and in most cases, it is the sacrifice of the few to allow the majority to survive.

of course.

People generally don't possess such noble virtues, so this third method still involves a voting process. All of you can unite and vote out those you believe to be in the minority—either the undercover agents or the non-undercover agents—and the remaining majority will survive—consistent with your previous method of choosing only one faction.

Have a great time!

Before anyone could react, the Cheshire Cat left those words behind, then swayed his hips and walked out of the room.

"Let's all live separately," the magician suggested, playing the peacemaker. "How about we don't choose the other two methods, but cooperate and generate electricity together to fill the pillar with water?"

"good idea."

The alchemist immediately agreed.

“Agreed. We’re not familiar with each other. If we live together and someone goes crazy and votes, the explosion could very likely affect the nearby rooms. It’s safer to keep our distance.” Eleanor and Siwon exchanged a secret gesture, agreeing with the suggestion.

"The minority must submit to the majority."

Seeing the others looking at him, Jiang Liu chuckled, unconcerned.

at the moment.

The eighteen people have been divided into three groups.

The first group consists of Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, Duanmu Ying, Evelyn, Olivia, and Jack. Jiang Liu initially had six bibs, one of which he lent to Ellewan, leaving him with five. In addition, Evelyn had two bibs, making a total of seven bibs.

The second group consisted of the Alchemist, the Magician, the Red-Eyed Man, the One-Eyed Old Man, the Red-Nosed Man, the Rogue Youth, the Yellow-Bearded Man, and the Hook-Nosed Man. The Alchemist had three bib numbers, the Magician had two bib numbers, and one was given to the Yellow-Bearded Man. The Hook-Nosed Man had obtained the bib number of the deceased Larina in the previous test. The rest of the group did not have bib numbers, making a total of seven bib numbers.

The third group consisted of Ariwan, Siobhan, the Black girl, and the hooded man. Ariwan and Siobhan initially each had three bib numbers, for a total of six. Ariwan also "borrowed" a bib number from Jiang Liu and gave it to Larina, making a total of seven. However, since Ariwan died in the previous round and the bib number was picked up by Hooknose, their team only had six bibs left.

Therefore, the third group is inherently weaker. The first and second groups can choose to cooperate and eliminate the third group first, then split their numbers equally; or they can choose to win over the third group in their own ways and eliminate the powerful opposing group first.

Then--

To have a final showdown, or to find the undercover agent.

That's what makes the Three Kingdoms so fascinating!

# Chapter 708 The Three Kingdoms Stand Alone (Part 3) The War Has Already Begun

"In that case, let's go check out the rooms first. Perhaps we'll find a pattern: whether we're civil officials, military generals, or undercover agents. If everyone is a civil official, military general, or undercover agent, we might not even need to vote. We can just work together to fill the pillars with water and everyone can pass the level!"

The alchemist described the best-case scenario.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

But no one there was a fool.

Three Kingdoms period?

Essentially, it's a game of finding the undercover agents! The goal is simply to identify all the undercover agents! If there are many undercover agents, vote out the non-undercover agents at night; if there are few, eliminate all the undercover agents, and the remaining people can naturally survive!

The second is mutual confrontation.

"Everyone must unite, and we must not abuse our right to vote," the magician shouted righteously.

Regardless of what they thought in their hearts, everyone's faces showed undisguised agreement.

at this time.

Eleanor from the third group said, "It's one thing for ordinary people to be dealt with, but it's not so easy for us people with superpowers."

That bitch said we can't use force to steal someone else's bib number, but she didn't say we can't kill each other, did she?

such as:

My job is only to kill.

My partner found the bib number afterwards. Is that feasible?

"No! There can't be such a rule!"

Upon hearing this possibility, Huang Huzi from the second group panicked immediately. He believed that he had "betrayed" the first group in the first test, and if this possibility existed, he would definitely have to be wary of Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, and Duanmu Ying taking action against him!

And will the alchemist and magician save him?

There were three of them!

And there's a sniper with a 98K on the other side! If they make their move at night, he'll be the first to die!

"It's not impossible."

Jiang Liu laughed out loud, "After all, that guy said there's a hidden rule, which, as I understand it, can be summed up in one sentence:"

Anything not prohibited by law is permitted!

This made Yellowbeard even more afraid.

It could have been anyone else who spoke, but it was Jiang Liu who had to!

He's threatening me! He must be threatening me!

Yellow Beard trembled with fear, struggling to recall the rules, then glanced at the number in his hand, before fixing his gaze on the Wu Kingdom district…

"so--"

Jiang Liu held up one finger. "I have a suggestion: concentrate all the numbers on the person present who is the most virtuous and the most powerful."

For example: me.

I can assure you, this is absolutely the safest way.

"I agree."

Evelyn completely trusted Jiang Liu and was the first to raise her hand.

Lu Jin and Duanmu Ying were next.

O'Leary again.

Jack thought for a moment and nodded, after all, the bib number he had was given to him by Jiang Liu.

But none of the others expressed their opinion.

Although Jiang Liu was very honest and didn't lie in the first test, who can be sure that it wasn't a pretense?

Furthermore,

The number bib is clearly a key item in this test, serving as proof of voting. If the number is handed to one person, wouldn't that person be able to kill whomever they want?

"You're dreaming!" Siwon sneered. "Don't even think about stealing our numbers. If I find any sign of it, I'd rather destroy the numbers!"

"Destroy the number? Not bad! That's certainly one method." Jiang Liu suddenly nodded.

Before anyone else could react, Evelyn suddenly realized what was happening. She immediately took out two bib numbers, stuffed one back into her pocket, and tore the other to shreds.

In this way...

The first team had the same bib numbers as the third team, with only six left.

The alchemist's expression changed instantly. His gaze swept back and forth between Jiang Liu and Evelyn, but he finally focused his attention on Evelyn. He thought to himself, "Although the one who spoke was an Easterner, he was too young. Moreover, it was Evelyn who tore up the bib number. Only an experienced person would have such decisive courage!"

Ellivan and Siobhan also had serious expressions.

Although everyone was still in the square, and had not yet chosen a side or confirmed their identities, Evelyn's tearing seemed to expose the hypocrisy of everyone present.

war!

It has already begun!
