Mo Xiaoyou did not come out, nor could he send back any message.
The scene was quiet for a moment.
Did they overestimate Mo Xiaoyou's ability or underestimate the Black Cloak's trap
Ning Buwen was still chewing an apple, but he was chewing it much slower. Zuo Qingcang was writing and calculating, and they both looked troubled. No one on the field dared to disturb them, and they all went in quietly.
What if
If no one passed the level, they would be wiped out anyway. They would die anyway, so they might as well give it a try.
Generally speaking, the time limit of a game copy is limited. If no one answers the questions, it is likely that some uncontrollable factors will occur.
So even though they knew it was useless to go in, some people still went in to answer the questions in order to make time for Zuo Qingcang and Ning Buwen.
Around nightfall, Zuo Qingcang stopped.
At this moment, there were only a few people left outside the haunted house.
No news came out at all.
"It's my turn now." Zuo Qingcang chuckled, "I have thought of countless possibilities. After crossing out the less accurate ones, there are probably three guesses left. Luo Xiang should have known one possibility, so I will practice the other possibility next. I will leave a message for you in the haunted house when the time comes."
"Do you trust me so much?" Ning Buwen stopped chewing his apple, "Maybe I can't get through this either."
Zuo Qingcang pointed to his head and said, "Your thinking is different from ours."
"What's the meaning?"
"Our ideas are all very orthodox, and our way of thinking about problems is just to follow a certain logic. But in Pandora, you can't talk too much about logic. Although I haven't known you for a long time, I can feel that your thinking is quite active." Zuo Qingcang considered his words, "You give me a strange feeling, as if nothing can stump you."
"Pfft." Ning Buwen laughed, "Don't tell me, I'm just worried about how to reject other people's pursuit of me now."
"Didn't you eat it?"
"What?" Ning Bu Wen was stunned.
"Apple." Zuo Qingcang pointed at the fruit in Ning Buwen's hand. "Although I also felt that the man who came to see you yesterday seemed strange, but you were very happy eating the fruit he brought you. I thought you must like him. When people are eating, some expressions cannot deceive others."
If you like it, you like it. If you don’t like it, you don’t like it.
If the food is sent by someone you hate, you will definitely not think it tastes good. Instead, you will feel disgusted if you look at it for even a second.
But Ning Buwen was different. Not only did he ate without any psychological burden, he also ate very happily. This showed that he did not avoid that person as much as he said.
"Pooh, pooh, pooh, I only ate because I was hungry." It's better not to ask a dead duck and still insist.
"In fact, we have prepared food." Zuo Qingcang had no intention of arguing with him. "In short, I'll leave this level up to you. I estimate that after passing this level, the remaining levels will be very easy. Otherwise, the difficulty of this dungeon is too high."
"Go ahead." Ning Buwen sat down again, "When I take you through the customs, remember to give me some money after you pass the customs. I'm very poor."
"Okay." Zuo Qingcang waved his hand, calmed himself down, and walked towards the haunted house.
He had to try his best to find the information left by Luo Xiang and make the information clearer, otherwise he would be doomed to fail in this level.
The legion representatives outside the venue felt a little upset when they saw the number of contestants decreasing.
"This level is indeed a bit confusing for first-time participants." A representative couldn't help but say, "When I tried to pass similar levels before, it took a lot of deaths before I figured out its routine."
"I think Ning Buwen and Zuo Qingcang should have found a way to break through the barrier, but because so many people were captured before, it's difficult for them to use the simplest and most direct method." Another representative said, "People sometimes have to be a little selfish. They are not very selfish, but they lose themselves."
"It's still my ability to control myself. If the woman in the Joker's level hadn't died, this level would have been easy to pass."
"What's wrong with being unselfish? Although they haven't known each other for long, they already have a sense of community. We usually go through dungeons together with our companions, and everyone must be prepared to use their bodies to pave the way for their companions. Otherwise, our society will only be dominated by endless violence, which will only make our already crumbling society perish even faster. As long as we are still alive, it cannot be considered the end of the world."
"Okay, okay, I won't talk to a philosopher like you."
"Speaking of which, Zuo Qingcang and Luo Xiang are rare leaders. If they are trained well, they will be good advisors. I would rather not ask..."
"Isn't Ning Buwen the typical type of leader who is suitable for being a hands-off boss? Number Two, what do you think? Is he very similar to your leader?"
…
"Zuo Qingcang is ready to break through." Representative No. 2 suddenly said, "His idea is right."
At this moment, Zuo Qingcang stood in front of the door of the haunted house and covered his eyes with a cloth.
He will try to pass this level without using his eyes.
He was very clear about the hint Luo Xiang gave him.
Rumor
Zuo Qingcang heard a lot of voices.
He groped his way forward, but surprisingly did not encounter any obstacles. On the contrary, the journey was smooth and he successfully arrived in front of the man in the black cloak.
"You are smarter than the previous ones." The man in the black cloak said hoarsely, "Before, there was also a young boy who was ready to cover his eyes, but unfortunately he fainted when the time was up."
He should be talking about Mo Xiaoyou.
As expected, the famous detective Mo Xiaoyou also knew the method to break the level, but the five-minute limit was too disadvantageous, so he could not pass on any information.
Zuo Qingcang sat in front of the table, reaching out his hand and touching things around the table.
He touched the word left by Luo Xiang.
"none".
Luo Xiang left this word.
The simpler the gesture, the less likely it will attract attention.
Luo Xiang also has good intentions.
"It's not difficult for you to pass this level. We were blinded by one thing." Zuo Qingcang sighed, "We preconceived that this is a haunted house, so we were deceived by you."
This is not a haunted house at all.
If it was a haunted house, he wouldn't be able to hear the wind.
Maybe this is just an imaginary space, maybe in the eyes of the black cloak, all of them are in an empty space. The black cloak can see all their "plans", but they are immersed in a false illusion.
The haunted house is fake, the cards are fake, but the black cloak is real.
So no matter which card you guess, it's useless because the card doesn't exist.
How can you guess accurately about something that doesn't exist, and how can you break through it
At the first level, they are reminded that what they see with their eyes is false; at the second and third levels, they are reminded that what they hear with their ears is false; and when it comes to the fourth level, what you think is false.
This haunted house only exists in their self-righteous minds.
Because they were told in advance that this was a "haunted house", they "saw" the haunted house.
If it were somewhere else, they would definitely be suspicious, but the light in the haunted house is already weak, and it is a one-on-one situation. Once inside, they can no longer contact the outside world, which naturally makes the difficulty much higher.
"Then do you know where the joker is?" The black cloak asked as usual, "Even if you figured it out, you still have to answer. This is the rule. Only if you answer correctly can you pass the level."
"It must be on you." Zuo Qingcang answered affirmatively, "In order to balance the difficulty of the game, I should be allowed to look for it on you."
"Of course," the black cloak replied, "I have no eyes, and I don't know where the joker is on my cloak."
Zuo Qingcang stood up.
"But I want to remind you one thing." The man in black cloak smiled happily, "The souls of your companions are all in my body. You'd better choose the joker at once. If you choose the wrong one, your companions will disappear forever."
If you cover your eyes, you can see that something is wrong.
But if you are blindfolded, you can't find where the joker is.
This is an unsolvable problem.
"So I told you before, as long as one of you clears all the levels, you can free everyone before time allows, but you chose not to abandon your companions, so you fell into my trap one by one." The voice of the man in black cloak was full of temptation, "Of course, you can choose repeatedly until you find the joker card. As long as you are lucky, you can at least save half of your companions."
Zuo Qingcang's hand stopped in mid-air.
"Why, are you afraid of making a choice?" The man in black cloak kept fanning the flames. "If you try, you still have a chance. If you don't try, you won't have any chance at all. Don't you players believe in this? A 50% pass rate is already very high. This is your fastest chance to pass the level."
"Before the end of the world, I was a student studying law at the best political science and law university in my country." Zuo Qingcang suddenly said, "In my country, once you have a criminal record, you cannot engage in any law-related work."
The man in black cloak didn't understand why Zuo Qingcang suddenly started talking about this.
"Although it's the end of the world, I still believe that the reason we can survive Pandora's disaster is because many people died for us. Our predecessors went through the levels one after another and brought back the Judge so that our real life would not be dominated by various criminal acts. That's why we can spend three years in this safety barrier. Even those who are not suitable for games can barely maintain the life they lived two centuries ago."
Zuo Qingcang said as he removed the cloth from his eyes, "Many people say that I will die one day because of my own persistence, but I don't think it matters. Even in the game, I will never choose to end someone else's life."
“I give up on this one.”
"There are people who are more suitable than me to pass this kind of gambling-like level."
Ning Buwen waited outside for ten minutes, but Zuo Qingcang still didn't come out.
The remaining few people were completely panicked.
"Brother Zuo didn't even come out?"
"It's over. Are we really going to be wiped out here?"
"That's enough." Ning Buwen put the remaining fruit basket aside. "There's no news about Zuo Qingcang, which proves that he has ruled out one possibility for me. Please help me keep an eye on my fruit and my dog. This level should be more suitable for me to go to."
"Mr. Ning, are you going to break through?"
"What if you don't come back? I'd better go first."
"If you go like this, you'll die in vain." Ning Buwen glanced at them and shook his head slowly. "The first four levels are all about intelligence, and the last three levels should be about physical strength. You guys take a good rest here. I'm leaving now."
Ning Buwen stretched his muscles and walked to the door of the haunted house, but he was not in a hurry to go in.
"Mr. Black Cloak, I don't think this is a haunted house. Can we go to a real haunted house to play cards?" Ning Bu Wen shouted directly outside.
The man in the black cloak was silent for a while, and could only stand up and come over.
Among the three possibilities, one requires entering a haunted house.
There is one type that you don't need to enter.
Black Cloak mentioned before that he wanted to have a one-on-one fight in the haunted house. If these players believe that this is the haunted house, then of course it counts.
But if the player suggests going to a real haunted house, it is also believable.
Zuo Qingcang blindfolded himself just to confirm the first possibility.
The black cloak's behavior was also very strange. When I entered the house before, I clearly saw him holding a crystal ball, but the crystal ball disappeared in the haunted house.
If it has no effect, why would it be taken out
Or in other words, this is not a haunted house, it's just a small crystal ball.
All the people who went in before them were just playing house with the black cloak in a crystal ball, but the real haunted house should be here.
The black cloak came out.
The crystal ball appeared in his hand again.
At the same time, the haunted house in front of him disappeared, and was replaced by a place that was smaller and more dilapidated than the previous haunted house.
"Let's get started." Ning Buwen was faster than the black cloak and quickly entered the haunted house and found a place to sit down. "This is where the real competition begins. Aren't we going to play guessing the joker? Shuffle the cards."
The black cloak had no choice but to shuffle.
"I want to remind you." The black cloak used the same trick again, "The other four cards seal your companions. If you guess wrong, they will never survive again."
"Oh." Ning Buwen responded casually, "Then isn't it good enough if I don't guess wrong?"
The black cloak didn't know how to respond to this for a moment.
"Don't you want to watch me shuffle the cards?" the man in black cloak continued to ask.
"No need to look, I can just go with my intuition." Ning Buwen shook his head, "Betting on cards is my strong point. I have been playing the game of guessing jokers with others since I was three years old. There is no way I can lose."
"That's not necessarily true." The man in the black cloak laughed sinisterly, "Okay, tell me, which one is the joker card?"
The five cards on the table are ready.
"The first one on the right." Ning Buwen answered without hesitation, "Let me help you turn it over."
Ning Buwen was a few seconds faster than the black cloak and quickly turned over the first card on the right.
It’s indeed a joker card.
How could he possibly guess right
Impossible.
These cards should be impossible for them to guess.
His eyes are open!
"What? Did I break the rules?" Ning Bu Wen asked with a smile.
The black cloak was stunned for a moment, "No, you can pass the level. You can take this joker card to the next level. As long as you pass the level quickly, you can rescue your companions."
"No." Ning Buwen held his chin with one hand, "It's already dark outside. Even if I go to the next level, will the amusement park still be open at night? If I really leave like this, I'm afraid that by the time I pass the level, most of my companions will be dead."
"So what do you want?"
"The night is long, Mr. Black Cloak, you can't bear to see me wandering around the amusement park alone, right?" Ning Buwen pretended to sigh and put the joker card he drew back to its original place, "We are not in a hurry, let's continue gambling."
"What's the meaning?"
"One person at a time." Ning Buwen stretched out a finger. "Every time I guess the joker correctly, you will let me free one person. The last time was my redemption. From now on, I will win back my lost companions one by one."
The author has something to say: Hehehe, in the next chapter, this copy can be completed and all the decryption can be completed~
In fact, the previous levels of this dungeon all have metaphors. If the clairvoyant girl in the first level of their team hadn't died, she would have found out that the real haunted house address was at the back. Or, you can also find it by carefully studying the map of the amusement park. Everyone still has too little experience~~~
