Chapter 48 The Prisoner's Dilemma

"Why is this happening?" Bai Ya frowned when she heard Liu Mengchao's words. After a while, she looked at Liu Mengchao in disbelief and said, "Did Su Quan find out that you are already the agent?

"

"What do you think?" Liu Mengchao didn't look surprised at all. Instead, the smile on his face grew stronger. "If I were not the agent, he told me that the child with the future diary had been killed by him.

What will happen to me?"

"You have to meet him in person to know whether what he said is true or false through his micro-expressions?"

"That's it. That's why he deliberately looked for such an opportunity to separate from me." Liu Mengchao said, and already stood up, "In this way, I can't know the truth of his words through his expression, and I can

He said, I can only believe what he says."

"By then you know that he is actually lying to you... If you expose him directly when Su Quan comes back..." Bai Ya said, her eyes lit up, "No reincarnation person will believe it.

His word!"

"So what? In this way, Su Quan will only be more confident." As soon as Liu Mengchao finished speaking, Bai Ya's eyes immediately widened. She had no idea why Liu Mengchao said this.

"This is actually a very simple thing. Everyone has his own purpose. Sometimes as long as he can achieve his purpose, it is not a bad thing to be criticized a little." Liu Mengchao smiled coldly and said, "If you

He is a reincarnator. What would you think if you find out that someone in the team completed the mission secretly without telling everyone?"

"I'm betrayed!"

"Then what?"

"Then……"

Bai Ya was stunned, pacing back and forth, as if she wanted to think about the problem carefully. After a while, she raised her head and said to Liu Mengchao.

"It's exclusion! If conditions permit, I will definitely find an opportunity to kill him. If conditions do not allow, we will also stick together and exclude him! Even if he can survive this reincarnation world, but in the future reincarnation world

, there will be no one to team up with him, and no one to help him. It is difficult to survive in the world of reincarnation by relying on your own strength alone!"

Hearing Bai Ya's words, Liu Mengchao nodded, and the smile on his face became more obvious. He said, "This is what Su Quan wants. The purpose is different, and the pursuit is different. Bai Ya, you have

Never heard of the prisoner’s dilemma?”

"Prisoner's Dilemma?"

"This is an economic hypothesis. Two suspects were caught by the police after committing a crime and were locked in different rooms for interrogation. The police knew that the two were guilty, but lacked sufficient evidence. The police told everyone: If the two

If both deny, each will be sentenced to one year; if both confess, each will be sentenced to eight years; if one of the two confesses and the other denies, the one who confesses will be released, and the one who denies will be sentenced to ten years. Therefore, each prisoner faces two

Choice: Confess or deny.”

"I think the best way is..." Bai Ya was about to open her mouth, but suddenly she was stunned because she realized that this was not a good choice.

"This is a problem in economics. They always make assumptions as simple and idiotic as possible... but the reality is far from this..." Liu Mengchao looked at Bai Ya who was hesitant, but he laughed first, "

If there are only two people in this criminal gang, and only two of them in the world know about this matter, then the best way for a prisoner is to confess everything to the police immediately. This way he will gain the greatest benefit."

"Is there anything else going on?"

"Of course." Liu Mengchao nodded, stretched out a finger and said, "First, being imprisoned for ten years is a long time. But if the denying prisoner never confesses his accomplices, then he will be treated as

After being released from prison, there will be so much resentment in his heart. I am afraid that the prisoner who confessed will face a situation worse than death. After all, you can only be a thief for a thousand days. There is no reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days."

"That makes sense, but what does this have to do with Su Quan?"'

"This prisoner's dilemma is the best choice based on the fact that once you confess once, you will never repeat it again, and there will be no consequences. Once the prisoner's dilemma is repeated, then confessing is not the best choice.

It’s a strategy.” Liu Mengchao said, and extended a finger, “This is why the reincarnations are used to deceiving each other, but at critical moments they will still stick together and cooperate.”

"Because they know that they are not prisoners who can escape from the main god's world after experiencing the plot world once? Will they have to meet other reincarnators in the years to come?"

"That's it!"

When Liu Mengchao heard Bai Ya's words, he snapped his fingers, with a mocking but genuine smile on his face.

"This is Su Quan's current mentality. He knows that as long as he has passed through this reincarnation world, he will not meet other reincarnations again, or in other words, their identities will be different when they meet again."

Bai Ya listened to Liu Mengchao's analysis and nodded subconsciously. She had roughly understood what Liu Mengchao meant. For reincarnators, gaining benefits in a reincarnation world can be said to be fixed. Maximizing benefits will inevitably harm others.

The benefits of reincarnation.

For the sake of future cooperation and development, reincarnators will not choose such a short-sighted approach. Just like a prisoner caught by the police, his life cannot only be in jail and go home. Nor can time be fixed.

At this point in time, he still needs to consider a lot. For example, the accomplices who have not been caught, his reputation in this industry, or the results after the accomplices are released, there are too many possibilities that will lead to different outcomes.

.

But once it can be concluded that these reincarnations will all die, or that this is a game under limited conditions, then there is only one outcome, which is to directly betray one's accomplices, as Liu Mengchao said.

"So..." Bai Ya looked at Liu Mengchao subconsciously, her lips moved slightly, and a very small voice came out of her mouth, "Is it really him?"

"Who else could there be besides him? He has made more than one mistake. Starting from the world of Puella Magi Madoka Magica, his flaws have been exposed. But at that time, I didn't know the purpose of what he did, but when I returned to the main god space

When I saw the scene where another main god was invaded, will all this be fully revealed soon?"

Liu Mengchao seemed to be talking about something extremely ordinary and certain, with no fluctuation in the expression on his face.

"What other flaws does he have?" Bai Ya couldn't help but ask.

"You will know about it later. And these flaws will be the key to his defeat." Liu Mengchao smiled and shook his fingers, as if Su Quan was appearing in front of him, and Liu Mengchao was telling him that this road is blocked.

.

"The key to defeat?"

"Yes, because in front of a psychologist, your best way is to cover yourself from head to toe with a quilt, and don't make any sounds or movements in front of me..." Liu Mengchao said while

As he spoke, the smile on his face became more and more weird, "Because the truth is also part of it..."

"What part?"

"Seeing through a part of the soul. After all, how can there be lies if there is no truth?"

Liu Mengchao said, and without waiting for Bai Ya's answer, he strode towards the place where the reincarnations gathered. He could not wait to fulfill the conditions, the conditions to replace the other person's identity as the agent.

Condition 1: All reincarnations can only live once.

The number of survivors now is four.

Ahem... About the prisoner's dilemma mentioned in the article... This is an economic problem... It is generally used to explain pricing in monopolies...

Of course... It means that according to the inference, no matter how many times it is repeated, the prisoners will choose to betray this option... But in my opinion, this is due to too many restrictions and the model is too ideal... Reality

Things are far more complicated than this...

Uh-huh... Why am I saying this suddenly... It's definitely not because I was called by the teacher to answer this question during class! It's definitely not a mouthful!!!!!!!!!!
