Chapter 1247: Chapter 1128: Are We Being Used for a Turing Test?!
_1 Chapter 1247: Chapter 1128: Are We Being Used for a Turing Test?!
_1 “This is goddamn absurd…”
Yi grumbled to himself, as his consciousness left his body.
[Spectate]/[Leave]
Yi glanced at the live broadcast room, wanting to see the opinions of the viewers.
But these damn fans were all laughingly saying “hahaha,” barely discussing about anything else.
After a little hesitation, he decided to keep spectating until the end of the match.
With only the players from Daxia remaining, the tension in the air noticeably eased.
The strong smell of gunpowder had significantly decreased.
Plus, with an unspoken agreement to vote Yi out, there was a sense of complicity among the remaining contestants.
So now, the level of competition had decreased quite a bit.
The thing Qi Ye was most concerned about, mutual regional discrimination escalating into actual conflict, never happened.
It could probably be because no one had their hometown’s name plastered on their face.

But either way, the next person to be voted out was a socially awkward player who’d been quiet throughout the game.
After that, the players got into a brutal debate over whether the tofu brain should be sweet or salty— the minority party was promptly electrocuted to death!
How’s that for brutal?
By the time only six players remained, the uncertainty became quite significant.
Finally, Qi Ye stepped up and proposed an idea:
“How about we decide the winner based on a knowledge quiz?
We can take turns naming different country’s capitals—if you can’t answer, you’re out.
What do you think?”
Of course, it can’t be considered a completely fair strategy, but it does at least allow the outcome of the match to be in your own hands to some degree.
Players from Daxia rarely lack common sense, so Qi Ye’s proposition received mixed approval:
A brainy mini-game could be used to decide the winner, but they wouldn’t compete based on the names of countries’ capitals.
After all, if he could make such a suggestion, he probably had an advantage.
No one wanted to be fooled, so everyone quickly compromised and settled on playing a more familiar “Idiom Solitaire” game to decide the winner.
But Qi Ye wasn’t disappointed.
He simply wished to avoid the game descending into a chaotic infight or a game of chance.
As long as the competition remained rational, he could accept it.
And so, another harmonious, positive, and energetic Idiom Solitaire competition was broadcasted under the commentary of the speechless Yi.
It wasn’t until the game ended, a beam of white light landed on the sole victor.
And then all the spectators were forcibly ejected.

Yi opened his eyes and found himself standing on an unfamiliar rooftop.
The city before him was still ravaged by war, smoke from the gunfire wafted all around.
Giant alien spaceships hovered silently above the city, their movements limited to occasional flashes of light from the bottom of the ship.
“Did…
mankind lose?” Yi was taken aback.
But he quickly regained his composure: “Well, it’s not like it’s the first time.”
Each chapter of “A Quiet Place” begins with mankind at a considerable disadvantage, or at the brink of elimination.
Death Voting was just a continuation of the usual style…

“But…
why did I respawn here?”
“Am I supposed to explore the city?” Yi didn’t understand, “Or wait to get dragged inside again?”
“And how do I clear this level?
Do I have to somehow be the last survivor to pass?”
“What if someone is extremely unlucky, wouldn’t they never be able to clear the level?”
Fortunately, a brand-new system prompt appeared in front of Yi’s vision.
Although the content of the prompt left him quite surprised:
[Single Round Rank: 18 (Base points earned: 18 points)]
[Eliminated Hidden Alien Life: 32 (Base points+32)]
[Participation: A (Point Enhancement 30%)]
[Total Points: 65 points]
[Chapter 6 — [Secret War], Unlock Requirements: 200 points]
“Aliens???”
Yi’s voice suddenly rose a notch higher.
He was absolutely dumbfounded by the sudden revelation: “From those who were playing the debate and voting games with us, there were 32 bloody aliens?!”
He didn’t suspect anything at all!
It wasn’t just Yi who felt his hairs stand on end, the viewers in the live streaming room also felt utterly creeped out:
“It’s probably more than 32!
That’s just Yi’s score, there may be some left after he eliminated them!”
“So, only the champion would know?”
“Wait!!
Is the final champion an alien?!”
“??!!”
“So, this game, [Death Voting], is really for aliens to observe people, understand people, imitate people and then…
completely defeat people?!”
“Fuck, don’t talk like it’s something scary!”
…
Yi continued to question his life: “Do you think either these are other players playing as aliens, or the game AI is playing as aliens?”
“If it’s AI, wouldn’t that imply: more than 32 AI passed the Turing Test?!”
“I didn’t notice any abnormalities at all!!”
Shocking!
Super shocking!!
Players who previously complained that this chapter wasn’t scary, all came to terms with it now—
The scary part was actually this?!
Players who thought more deeply felt palpably creeped out.
Before this, everyone felt to some extent that the key NPCs in the virtual world were surprisingly realistic.
In the early days, in Metropolis, everyone could feel that the language and behavioral logic of the NPCs were designed.
Although rich, they could still identify repetitive and rigid patterns.
But in recent games, let alone key NPCs, even the most ordinary NPCs have their own behavioral logic and life trajectory, and their conversations fit perfectly into their backgrounds.
They were very much like real people.
Especially those most unique roles, like Connar, Shirley, Mo Niang, Cat Girl, not only could they roam around freely in the virtual world, but they could even be brought into the real world with [Bafang]!
—But these characters were all cute and likeable, so everyone secretly wished they were real and saw nothing wrong with it.
Until now, a group of AI aliens, mixed with real people, playing games with everyone, plotting against each other, debating things in the game and reality and eliminating others together.
It was not until the end that they did not give any sign of their true identity.
That’s…
pretty scary!
Qi Ye, the champion, looked at the information summarized by the system and fell silent for a while.
He had been somewhat disappointed with this chapter before this.
Perhaps others enjoyed it, but for a horror enthusiast like him, it was rather dull.
Because the most horrifying element—[Death], was just what gamers were least afraid of, so there was no sense of horror at all.
This made him eager to complete it, to get to the next chapter.
But now, knowing that he had been playing with aliens throughout the previous game!
And even possibly standing next to him, chatting casually…
The feeling was completely different in an instant!
Absolute genius!
Qi Ye’s rating for this chapter instantly went up from 6 to 8.5!
He even wanted to play another round, to carefully look for the aliens hidden in the crowd.
But that was just a thought, with his high bonus as the champion, he already gained 200 points in one go, which successfully unlocked the sixth chapter.
So, it’s time to move to a brand new chapter.
[Secret War]——Initiate!
“I wonder what story Cloud Dream will tell this time?”
“Hope it’s a bit scarier!”
