Chapter 2803: Weird Feast and Nightmare (XI)
The body was dragged away, and everyone started a new game in a new round of panic. This time they had to write the story of the main course, but in this round, they had more ideas.
After the results of the last round of eliminations came out, they discovered that the strategy they had adopted before was effective. Those who had their papers taken away and were unable to write new answers were all eliminated. In other words, it is indeed possible to determine the winning list in advance by destroying other people's answers.
There are only 20 people left in the field now, and 10 people will be eliminated this time.
There doesn't seem to be any particular pattern to the number of people eliminated. Sometimes it's more, sometimes it's less. It seems to all depend on the chef's mood, so people can't judge rationally whether they will be eliminated in the next round.
This time half of the people were to be removed. The remaining 20 people had lost all their rationality. They just wanted to quickly destroy each other's answers. Roars, screams, and shouts of killing were heard everywhere.
The chef was indifferent to the chaos in the restaurant, and Schiller was still eating, as if the noise had nothing to do with him at all.
As there were fewer and fewer people, it became easier to collect the papers. After a while, all the answers were collected. The chef went backstage again, and when he came out this time, he paused for an extra moment.
"Now I'm going to announce the list of ingredients." The chef said the familiar opening remarks, but his tone became heavier as he uttered a name that no one expected.
"Niog Thorship."
The others were only surprised for a moment, and then they quickly realized that Schiller deserved to be eliminated because he didn't write anything in the last round. He was so busy eating that he didn't even hand in his paper. It would be strange if he wasn't eliminated.
The elimination process was carried out when all the names were announced. In addition to Schiller, there were nine other people. The names were read out very quickly, and those whose names were not called breathed a sigh of relief.
The elimination of Dr. Sosip, who knew all the answers, can be regarded as the only good news since the start of the game, because he finally no longer completely occupies a must-win spot, and the chances of survival for others are slightly better.
The executions began.
In the past, the execution process was very fast. The spine hanging from the ceiling would completely pull out the person's spine the moment it touched the person. The body falling to the ground would still twitch a few times, but would soon become silent.
The spine has dropped.
But at this moment, something strange happened. The spine hanging down from Schiller's head was cut off by a cold knife.
It wasn't Schiller who threw the knife; Schiller was still eating.
The waiter who was closest to here walked up to Schiller and stood behind him. His spine continued to grow downward at a very fast speed, but every time it was about to touch Schiller's body, it would be cut off by the waiter.
The execution was completed. The other nine people were all dead, only Schiller was sitting there unharmed. Even the remaining ten people, no matter how stupid they were, could see that something was wrong.
This doesn't seem like anyone is defending Schiller.
One of them suddenly realized something, and he shouted, "Eating! He is eating all the time, so no one can hurt him!"
The atmosphere in the restaurant stagnated. It seemed like a puzzle with the answer written right on the title. What else is there to do in the restaurant if not eating?
Everyone was frightened by the strange phenomenon on the ceiling, and the chef threatened them very fiercely, so they naturally thought that the person standing in the front had the power of life and death, so they listened to him obediently and started playing the game.
It turns out that as long as you keep eating, you won’t be attacked?
No matter what, let's try it first. The other ten people picked up their knives and forks, but at this time the chef spoke.
"Are you serious? I remember saying that the winners are the diners and the losers are the ingredients."
Everyone paused for a moment as they suddenly realized the ingredients of the food on the plate.
But one of them gritted his teeth and said, "That's what they deserve. Who told them not to realize this earlier?"
After saying that, he began to wolf down the food regardless of everything.
The hesitation of the others did not last long, and they began to eat the food on the plates. This dish was cheese, but there was still meat on the plate, which seemed to be roasted pieces marinated in wine. Many people avoided meat, as if morality would allow them to eat other things without burden.
During the cheese segment, the chef announced that five people would be eliminated.
Some people felt uneasy, fearing that Schiller's rules for avoiding being killed would not work on them, so they wrote something anyway and submitted it.
There were only 10 people left in the whole room, 5 of them wrote something, 5 did not, and Schiller and the surviving Jerome both handed in blank papers.
When the time was up, the chef read out the elimination list, and the five people who were not on the list were all eliminated. Spine dropped down and started to attack them.
The other five people who had escaped by chance were looking at the other five intently. They wanted to know whether the rule that eating could prevent being killed was true.
In addition to Schiller, four more waiters came out. They used knives to cut off the spines of those who wanted to attack the diners, and the five people survived safely.
The other five breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that this rule was effective. Eating could help them avoid being killed. They could finally survive.
When it came to the dessert session, the chef announced the number of people to be eliminated. Because he failed to eliminate five people last time, the number of people to be eliminated this time was still five.
No one handed in their paper this time.
Anyway, as long as you eat, you won't be killed. This game only has seven rounds in total, and dessert is the second to last round. As long as you hold on a little longer, you can successfully pass it.
Everyone was eating quietly. A cold light flashed in the chef's eyes, but he did not move. He just stood there and watched quietly.
A young man wearing glasses who should have been eliminated in the cheese segment gently rang the service bell next to him. He let out a long sigh, looked at Schiller at the table next to him, and found that he could actually order any dish on the menu. He was going to order an aperitif, as the dessert just now was a bit too sweet and he had never been used to sweets.
The waiter walked towards him, and just as the man with glasses was pretending to look at the menu, the knife was stabbed into his chest with a "whoosh". He lowered his head in disbelief, and then fell headfirst on the table.
Now there are only nine people left.
Everyone was stunned. Didn't they say that everything would be fine as long as they ate? Could it be because the man stopped eating and rang the service bell? But Schiller had done the same thing before and nothing happened.
Suddenly someone looked at the man's plate, and the lady sitting next to him said loudly, "He didn't finish it! He rang the bell before he finished all the dessert. The rule should be that waste is not allowed."
The others immediately looked down at their plates. Fortunately, the dessert portion was not large and could be finished in just a few bites. None of the remaining people particularly disliked desserts, and even if they did, they would try their best to finish it for the sake of their own lives.
A man finished the food on his plate in two or three bites, took a long breath, put down his knife and fork, and paused for a while before ringing the bell. But during this moment of pause, the drooping spine pressed against his neck.
With a swish, his spine was pulled out.
He was one of the five people who did not hand in the answer to the Cheese Level. Now there are only three left of the five, and there are eight people left on the field.
Others have also discovered that eating too slowly is not a good idea. Only when you continue to consume food will the waiter protect you. Once you stop, you will be killed by the horrible monster on the ceiling.
At this time, a smart person immediately realized that he should eat slowly, because although he was not eliminated in this round, there was still one round of the game. If he was eliminated in the next round but could not eat, as long as he paused for a moment, the waiter would not protect him.
Therefore, if you eat slowly during this stage and leave some room in your stomach, you can prevent problems before they happen and make yourself feel better later.
Among the five people who were not eliminated, two adopted this strategy. They began to scrape the frosting on the surface of the dessert little by little and put it into their mouths, achieving a state of neither eating nor eating.
After they hesitated for a while, the waiter flashed behind one of them and stabbed him in the chest with a knife again. Now there were only seven people left on the field.
Others are really going to collapse, what is the pattern behind this?
"Each dish has a time limit." Schiller suddenly said, "This is one of the etiquettes of Western dining. French dishes are served one by one. If you eat the first dish too slowly, the next dish may become stale. It's useless to delay time this way."
No one knew what the time limit was, but they didn't dare to gamble, so they finished the food on the plate in two or three bites and quickly rang the service bell to order the next dish.
You can't not finish the food, and you can't eat too slowly either, so you can only start with the dishes, eat things that are not easy to get sick of and don't take up too much space in the stomach. Among the first six dishes, the best choice is an aperitif.
Three of the seven people chose this dish, but this time what came was not "Gotham Sunset" but a blue-purple cocktail.
Among the seven people, some wine connoisseurs immediately realized that this was not an appetizer and that it definitely contained strong liquor. However, the moment the dishes were served, they had no choice but to eat.
The three of them raised their wine glasses and smelled the strong smell of alcohol. They almost felt nauseous, but they didn't dare not not drink it. Some chose to drink it all in one gulp, while others chose to savor it slowly.
The former fell drunk on the table the moment he finished drinking. He was also one of the people who had been eliminated before. Without the action of eating, his spine was almost immediately taken away.
Now only Schiller and Jerome are left in the eliminated group, leaving only six people in total.
At this time, the chef announced that the final round had begun, and five people would still be eliminated in this round.
