"In the last round of the game between me and her, two newcomers died and one veteran player died because of her mistake. This...was a casualty that could have been avoided."
People who could have lived died.
This is something that is very difficult for the Paladin to accept.
This is not only related to the score benefits, but also related to his "chivalrous heart".
In this dangerous and bizarre game where death is a possibility at any time, he sticks to his principles and bottom line, and provides help to many newcomers who have no experience and strength, allowing them to survive as much as possible.
Many old players tried to persuade him, but he just expressed his gratitude and continued to stick to himself.
"Mr. Paladin, please don't put the blame for my companions' deaths on me. Their deaths are ultimately related to you. If you had been able to persuade them, would they have died?"
Yoriko Sawada spoke immediately.
She had to do something.
"..."
This woman dares to bite back? The Paladin looked at Sawada Yoriko.
"Without your instigation, will they not follow my instructions?"
"Can't you think of it? They, no, we don't trust you, so we don't do what you say, that's all. If we trust you, how could we not follow your instructions? In this dangerous and weird game, are there really good people who would protect strangers at the cost of their own safety?"
Sawada Yoriko glanced at the other newcomers and said, "Ask how many of the newcomers here would believe it?"
Several people's eyes flickered.
"I believe."
at this time,
Hoshino Ai spoke up, "I believe that Mr. Zero protected me and saved players who were threatened by strange entities. You... weren't you saved by Mr. Zero?"
She looked directly at Yoriko Sawada, "If Mr. Zero hadn't stepped forward, you and your friends would have been killed by the strange infected bodies and mutated into new strange bodies."
Lin Ye's act of saving people is an undeniable fact. If Sawada Yoriko denies Lin Ye's act of saving people, it also shows that she is unreasonable and unreasonable.
Yoriko Sawada felt the strange gazes from everyone, and also felt the gazes from Fujibayashi Anne.
There is no point in making excuses, and she doesn't need to make excuses.
The reason she was looking for was not this at all.
"Ms. Rina, I will always remember Mr. Zero's kindness in asking for help."
"But at least, before this, I don't trust the old players. Rather than the old players protecting us, I believe that the old players keep the newcomers around to use as bait when the time is right."
"There are old players like this. Not to mention the weird dungeon games I've experienced before, there was an old player in this dungeon mission,"
Sawada Yoriko pointed at the two heads in the hall and said, "Perverted killer player, how many newcomers were killed by the killer player in this round of the game?"
"How many new players trusted this perverted murderous player, only to be stabbed to death by him, dying with hatred, without even a chance to struggle?"
"At least if they died at the hands of the weird body, they could blame their own lack of strength and bad luck, and they could accept the fact that they were killed by the weird body. But if they died at the hands of a perverted killer player, how could they accept it? Being stabbed in the back by the person they trusted. If it were me, I would definitely not accept it. Just imagine that they all trusted this old player, and in the end he was stabbed to death from behind."
Several newcomers felt a chill on their backs, and Fujibayashi An was also afraid. If she had chosen to follow the old man and was assigned to this perverted killer player, she would have died miserably! She might even be severely violated before she died, and then killed in the end.
Thinking of this scene, Fujibayashi An trembled all over. Fortunately, she did not follow the old player in the beginning. She could die, but she would never accept being violated and insulted again in her life.
She looked at the Paladin, "If I remember correctly, each of you old players is responsible for one new player. Where is the new player following you now?"
At a glance, Yoriko Sawada saw only Hoshino Ai, a newcomer who had originally followed the old players.
The Paladin's expression darkened. In this round of the game, his shortcomings were that he trusted the murderous player 'Heizi', which led to the deaths of the two newcomers who followed him at the hands of 'Heizi'.
If he had noticed it earlier, the two newcomers would never have died at the hands of the "black man".
He couldn't refute this, nor did he have any reason to refute it. The newcomer died because he believed in him and Kuroko.
He also disdains to find reasons to explain or justify his mistakes.
"It's two people," the Paladin said slowly.
"The two new players who followed you are dead, and the new player who followed the murderer is also dead. And what about the new player brought by the old player 'Jack'? He is nowhere to be found, and he is probably dead too."
"That old player of the middle-aged man is also dead, and the new player he brought with him must also be dead,"
"As a result, up to now, only the newcomer who followed Zero is still alive. Among the six veteran players who led newcomers, only one of them survived. With this survival rate, how can we accept that they died because of bad luck? You said that we should believe you veteran players? Can we survive by following you? Sorry, at least I don't believe it."
"There are 35 players in this game. Excluding the six veterans and seven newcomers, the remaining 22 are surviving on their own. Xing and I were rescued because of your help, so we are not considered survivors for now. That means only three of the 22 are alive today, with a survival rate of 3%. The number of newcomers who followed you is seven and one, with a survival rate of 13.6%. The difference is only 7%, and this is based on the assumption that no other newcomers survived."
This data comparison shows that the assistance of veteran players does not increase the survival rate of newcomers.
The new players listened to this data and felt that the mortality rate was very high! Of the six veteran players, only one of the veteran players who led the new player survived.
If they choose to follow the old man and are unlucky enough not to be assigned to be Zero's subordinates, the outcome will most likely be death.
At least if you fall into the hands of a paladin or a perverted murderous player, you are doomed.
this moment,
They are glad that they chose to survive independently and are still alive today.
It’s a pity that I didn’t trust the old players and follow them.
Otherwise... I really don't know when I will die. When they thought about being used as bait to give the old players a chance to escape, they felt disgusted. Choosing to survive independently was indeed the right choice. At least they are still alive today.
"Ms. Rina believes it because she is the only newcomer who survived. If you could ask the souls of those newcomers who died, what do you think their answers would be?"
"Excluding me and Rina, there are four newcomers here, including my friend Xing. If you let them make a choice again, do you think they will choose to survive alone, or choose to follow you old players?"
"If you could do it all over again, and let more than 20 new players make a new choice, would they choose to trust the old players and follow you?"
Needless to say?
No one was willing to choose Zero, an old player. All the other old players and new players present were unwilling to choose him.
Those newcomers who died would have no choice.
Especially for the newcomers who died at the hands of perverted killer players, if they were still conscious, they would probably regret it to the core.
Betting on the old players' luck? It's better to trust yourself.
"This is a result-oriented approach," Lin Ye said.
"But for us, we only have one life. Failure means death. What's important to us is the result. The new recruits followed you because they believed in you, but in the end there were heavy casualties, and only one new recruit survived. This was based on a one-to-one basis. If you brought more new recruits, we wouldn't be able to take care of them all."
If I can't take good care of a one-on-one, it's even more impossible to take good care of a one-to-many.
As the number of new players increases, veteran players will have to make choices when faced with danger. No one wants to be the one left behind.
"No matter how wonderful your promises were, the fact is that most of the newcomers who followed you died. If we had chosen to believe in you and follow your actions, I don't think we would have survived until now."
Several newcomers agreed very much.
They have survived until now thanks to their own strength and luck.
If I had followed the old players from the beginning, I would probably have been wiped out and become one of the strange infected people.
"The Paladin brought the injured Jack back. He did take care of his companions and did not abandon them. But what about the newcomer? Did the Paladin choose to save Jack and abandon the newcomer?"
"Because the newcomers don't have much strength, if you save the old players, they can use items to recover from their injuries and become a fighting force, but the newcomers are just a burden, and it's not worth it for the Paladins to take a huge risk to save them."
Compared to old players, newcomers don't have much value.
Even if the newcomers present did not want to admit it, they knew that this was an indisputable fact. If he were the person involved, he would of course give priority to saving the old players and give up the newcomers.
But they are newcomers now, and they don’t want to be the ones who are abandoned at all.
"It was just me and Jack at the time."
The Paladin immediately explained, "If there is a new person to act with, I will not abandon him."
As soon as Lin Ye heard it, he knew that the Paladin had fallen into this woman's 'self-proof' trap.
"Of course you can say that now, but no one can verify it. At the beginning, you also said that we should believe you, but the two players who chose to believe you are dead. They were killed by the old players. They must have regretted it very much before they died!"
Lin Ye looked at Sawada Yoriko and guessed that this woman wanted to gain the right to speak.
Through a series of rhetoric, they make the old players believe that they have done something wrong and have not fulfilled their promise, in order to get them to give more protection.
But this woman got one thing wrong.
The right to speak has never been based on public opinion and morality, especially in this weird game of death, strength is the foundation.
"You don't trust us? I can assume so!" Lin Ye said slowly.
"Yes, if most of the new players who followed you survived, my distrust of you would mean that I was stupid and retarded. I made a mistake in judgment and made the wrong choice."
Sawada Yoriko continued, "But in the end... Rina was the only new player left alive. Of the seven new players who chose to trust you, only one survived. With such a small number... How can you expect us to trust you?"
"How did these new people who followed you die in these three hours? We don't know. No one knows except you."
Lin Ye looked at Fujilin Xing,
The girl thought for a moment and said, "I thank you for saving my life, but I believe in my friend. Before you rescued me, it was because I followed Yi-chan that I survived to that moment. She took the initiative to take the risk when there was danger. She didn't do anything to let me down. I am willing to believe her."
"what about you!"
The three newcomers remained silent; they had expressed their thoughts silently.
"Hmph," Lilith snorted coldly. She hated this woman very much.
"You are obviously an old player, why didn't you show up in the first place?"
"I think the chance of dying if I follow the old players is too high, so it wouldn't be wrong not to show up!"
