Li Renshu showed a look of admiration: "That's right, this is exactly what I wanted to say.
"Anyone with a certain sense of justice and compassion can actually survive this game.
"Besides the fifth shot, which is confirmed to be a blank, the player has five other chances to fire.
"If they shoot the innocent person twice and themselves three times, they can pass the game completely unscathed;
"If they shoot the innocent person three times and themselves twice, they will only suffer minor injuries.
"Only if they shoot the innocent person four or five times will they suffer severe cranial trauma or even death."
Cai Zhiyuan spread his hands: "But that doesn't affect my conclusion, does it?
"What I mean is, the survival rate of this game is actually very high.
"Your explanation just further proves that the survival rate of this game is actually even higher than I imagined.
"Those who are sensitive to words and can see through the linguistic trap won't die;
"Those who know a bit of probability and can make rational decisions won't die;
"Even those who know nothing, but simply have a reverence for life and a sense of compassion, won't die.
"Only those who act recklessly and fire five consecutive shots at an innocent person will die.
"There has to be a limit to being a monster, right?"
Fu Chen thought for a moment: "Perhaps the Gallery itself encourages 'tolerance'? The more tolerant the game, the higher the rating? That doesn't seem to make much sense either."
Li Renshu looked at the large screen: "We can spend 24 hours of visa time to exchange for the player's profile and the case report for this game."
Cai Zhiyuan shook his head slightly: "Is that necessary?
"This game isn't complicated, we've pretty much analyzed it completely.
"24 hours of visa time is too precious, I'm afraid no one is willing to waste money on completely meaningless information.
"What if it turns out the player survived unscathed? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?"
Li Renshu retorted: "What if they died?"
Cai Zhiyuan was taken aback for a moment: "Died? Isn't that probability too low?
"And even if they really died, besides proving they're a monster, what else could it possibly explain?"
Fu Chen thought seriously for a moment: "24 hours of visa time sounds like a lot, but if the 12 of us split it, it's 2 hours per person to buy a piece of intelligence, which is barely acceptable."
Wang Yongxin was the first to state his position: "I don't agree."
The human resources director, Xu Tong, also shook her head: "I don't agree either."
Wang Yongxin added: "My disagreement isn't because I'm stingy, the key is that our visa time is very precious right now, we must consider the return on investment when we use it.
"Besides, trading visa time by any means is not allowed here, how are we supposed to split it?"
Fu Chen sighed silently, it was obvious that a plan like splitting the cost was basically impossible to implement.
Although a proposal could be made according to the rules, it would be difficult for this proposal to get more than half of the votes.
Li Renshu looked at Cao Haichuan again: "Officer Cao, do you think the player who participated in this game could have survived in the end?"
Cao Haichuan fiddled with a lighter in his hand, fell silent for a moment, then said: "It's hard to say. But I'm inclined to think not."
Li Renshu pressed on: "Why is that?"
Cao Haichuan spread his hands: "I can't give a good reason, just a gut feeling."
Li Renshu nodded: "Alright, that's enough."
She stood up directly: "I'm willing to spend my own 24 hours of visa time to exchange for the relevant information."
Cai Zhiyuan was stunned, he looked at her, but could only spread his hands: "Alright, it's your visa time, how you plan to spend it is your freedom."
Li Renshu walked straight to the large screen: "I want to purchase the relevant information for 'Redemption Roulette'."
[Please proceed to any vending machine to deduct the visa time.]
Li Renshu went to the nearby vending machine and swiped her visa, and as the fee was deducted, the relevant information appeared on the large screen.
[Player Information:]
[Wei Xinjian, male, 37 years old.]
[Due to a business failure, he was drag racing on a road with a 40km/h speed limit in the city center, hitting and killing a couple on the roadside on the spot.]
[Verdict: Sentenced to 3 years in prison for the crime of causing a traffic accident. Has completed his sentence and been released.]
[Game Process:]
[First, second, third, fourth, and sixth shots, fired at the innocent person.]
[Fifth shot, fired at himself.]
[During the second and fourth shots, he hesitated and pointed the gun at himself, but ultimately changed his mind.]
[Final Result: Death.]
"Huh?"
"This?!"
The crowd was in an uproar.
Clearly, this result was completely beyond their expectations.
Cao Haichuan slammed the lighter on the table with a "smack", his usually nonchalant expression turning serious: "This piece of intelligence was a really worthwhile purchase. It seems many of our previous conclusions will have to be overturned."
As a criminal investigation police officer, Cao Haichuan hadn't shown many serious expressions before, giving off a somewhat carefree, even slightly greasy middle-aged man vibe.
But when he became serious, it was as if he was surrounded by a special aura, his voice deep and steady, giving people an inexplicable sense of security.
"Actually, our discussion just now was not wrong, the game in this case really isn't very lethal to ordinary people.
"Whether it's noticing the linguistic trap, or knowing a bit of probability, or even just having a little bit of compassion, it would only be a scare, not enough to die in the game.
"But this game, it's as if it was specially prepared for this person named Wei Xinjian.
"It's actually a 'the selfish must die' game.
"Perhaps this kind of extreme specificity is one of the important reasons it was rated S by the Gallery."
"A 'the selfish must die' game?"
Fu Chen carefully mulled over this sentence, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face.
Cao Haichuan looked at Wei Xinjian's profile on the large screen.
"Just now we were wondering, what kind of monster would fire five consecutive shots at an innocent person?
"Obviously, this person is the monster we were talking about.
"Of course, using the word 'monster' to describe him is too broad, to be more precise, this is an extremely selfish and self-serving person who has an extreme disregard for the lives of others.
"Otherwise, he wouldn't have been drag racing in a busy city area, killing two people and still showing no remorse."
Cai Zhiyuan interrupted his speech: "Wait, Officer Cao, how do you know he showed no remorse? The profile doesn't seem to say that."
Cao Haichuan subconsciously reached for a cigarette, but restrained himself again.
"Because that's the result the game tested for.
"Where is the key to cracking this game? Is it the linguistic trap? Or probability?
"Actually, the key lies in 'reverence for life'.
"Wei Xinjian himself is a criminal, he is the murderer who ran over and killed a couple.
"Sitting opposite him in the game is an innocent person.
"If during his three years in prison, Wei Xinjian had sincerely repented, then he should have understood to place the life of an innocent person above his own.
"In that case, both he and this innocent person could have been saved.
"But obviously, even with a 1/6, or 1/5 probability of death, he was unwilling to bear it, and instead chose to point the gun at the innocent person.
"The more a person is like this, the faster they die in this game."
Everyone nodded one after another.
Some even had expressions of satisfaction on their faces, as if to say "serves him right".
Cao Haichuan continued: "Not only that, the designer of this game grasped Wei Xinjian's human nature with extreme precision.
"Wei Xinjian actually had two chances to save himself.
"During the second and fourth shots, he turned the gun on himself, which shows that his heart wavered.
"But in the end, he couldn't pull the trigger.
"This is not a coincidence."
