Quiet.
The mayor's house was exceptionally quiet.
Three people were thinking, and the red-clothed ghost was waiting. It was obvious that...she wanted the answer to this question more than killing a few people.
Xiaoxiao whispered, "Could it be five ghosts? After all, five shots were fired... No matter how you reason, this number won't change."
Cheng Shaofeng was delighted. If it weren't for the lord's dignity, he would definitely high-five Xiaoxiao and say that great minds think alike.
Forgive Hat shook his head decisively.
"No... It's also possible that the first shot didn't kill the child, so he shot again. After all, the question doesn't say that the hunter will definitely kill the ghost with one shot. We can't add conditions ourselves. And looking at the current situation... It doesn't seem like a question that can be answered so easily."
Xiaoxiao felt a little frustrated when she heard this and continued to think with her head tilted.
Cheng Shaofeng was also shocked!
What Forgive Hat said makes sense! He used conventional thinking to infer that one shot can kill a ghost, which is obviously wrong. From the perspective of logical reasoning... it is very imprecise.
"Fortunately I didn't say that just now... Otherwise I would have to play imprisonment with this female ghost. I don't want to be a dead knight."
Forgive Hat had some ideas in his head, but... not much, not enough for him to solve the problem.
Suddenly, Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up!
He glanced at Cheng Shaofeng and the Red-Clothed Ghost, then quietly leaned over to the ear of the Forgiveness Hat and said something.
"Brother Mao, if we can't figure it out, we can go out and find someone to help. I heard that there is a guy named Shadow Night God in your forum who has strong reasoning ability?"
Forgive Hat was also happy after hearing this.
"Yeah! How could I have forgotten this! It's all because this game is so realistic, it's like traveling through time..."
"Xiaoxiao, hold me tight!"
Forgiveness Hat sat down, put his chin on his hand, and posed in the classic thinker pose.
Closed his eyes.
Take off your helmet and turn on your phone.
"Shadow Night God is impossible... He is not as reliable as Maori Kogoro who didn't faint."
Forgiveness Hat found the phone number of his high school classmate Feng Yi and called him.
"Officer Feng! It's urgent! Help me with a logic reasoning question!"
10 minutes later.
The Forgiveness Hat opened his eyes in the wasteland.
He stood up, looked at the red ghost in the air, with a confident smile on his face, and patted Xiaoxiao on the shoulder: "Don't worry, it's done."
He then turned to Cheng Shaofeng and said, "My Lord, watch me!"
"I know the answer to this question! It's three ghosts!"
It seems that the forgiveness hat has started to work, and Cheng Shaofeng is standing by and acting as an interpreter for them.
Red Ghost: "Why?"
There is no point in knowing the answer. There are only a few numbers and you can guess them anyway. What makes sense is why this answer is the one that matters.
The Forgiveness Hat took three steps to the left and right. "In fact, the key to this question lies in those 50 extremely smart hunters... They are smart enough to know the most correct way to do it, and they also know that other smart people will definitely do it in the same way."
"Let's assume there is a ghost in the town. Then, on the first day, the hunter whose house is haunted goes out and finds that the other 49 houses are normal. Naturally, he knows that the ghost is in his house, and he will shoot his children to death that night. So when there is a ghost in the town, there will be gunshots on the first night."
"So what if there are two ghosts? Two hunters with ghosts in their homes go out for a walk and both find 48 normal families and 1 family with a ghost. Their first reaction is that the hunter they saw has a ghost in his home. Based on the inference in the previous paragraph, they will think that the hunter they saw with a ghost will shoot himself at night, so he will not shoot. The two hunters with ghosts in their homes think so, so no one will shoot on the first night. By the daytime of the second day, the two hunters with ghosts in their homes will know... there is more than one ghost in the town, but they only saw one, and the other one... is in their own home, so the second night, the two hunters with ghosts in their homes will choose to shoot."
The Red Ghost asked, "Why didn't the other hunters suspect that there were ghosts in their homes? When they saw that the guns didn't go off on the first night, wouldn't they think there was a ghost in their homes on the second day?"
Forgiveness Hat laughed and said, "Haha! First of all, we have to know that these 50 hunters are extremely smart people. From the perspective of the 48 hunters who don't have ghosts in their homes, they see 47 normal families and 2 families with ghosts. Through the reasoning in the previous paragraph, they know that when there are two ghosts, the two hunters will not shoot on the first night, but will shoot at the same time on the second night. So when they see the two ghosts, they are waiting for the gunshots on the second night."
"Speaking of which... What if there were no gunshots on the second night? These hunters who saw 48 normal families and 2 ghost families outside would realize... There are not just two ghosts in the town, but three! The other one is in their own home! So on the third night, these hunters will shoot and kill their own children!"
"That is to say, when there are three ghosts in the town, the hunters will open fire on the third night. As for other normal hunter families... when they see three ghosts outside, they will know through the inferences in the first two paragraphs that the first and second days are Christmas Eve, and there will be gunshots on the third night. If there is no gunshot... it means there is a fourth ghost in their home."
"By analogy, the hunters will start shooting on the same day as the number of ghosts they see!"
"The number of ghosts depends on the time of shooting, and has nothing to do with the number of shots! It may be that some hunters have to shoot two times to kill a ghost or something like that."
"So! The answer to this question is there are three ghosts in the town!"
The red ghost floating in the room was stunned, then shouted excitedly to the air:
"Yes! That's right! The answer is three ghosts! The reason is..."
After the Red Ghost repeated the answer to the Forgiveness Hat, four silver-white energy chains tied to it appeared in the air around it.
Card Bar Card Bar~
As if some mechanism was triggered, the four chains broke into pieces and fell to the ground, disappearing into nothingness, leaving only a transparent crystal ball on the ground.
The red-clothed ghost let out a shrill laugh.
"hiahiahia~ I finally solved this problem! It's been 10 years... Do you know how I spent these 10 years being sealed? I didn't dare to rest for even a single day! My family has been uneducated wanderers for generations, and now that I've become a ghost, no one dares to teach me. You had to come up with a stupid logic problem and lock me in here. You're trying to kill me!
Hahaha! Perverts from Duoyu Academy! You didn’t expect that! 10 years later, your own students released me! Hiahiahia!!!”
The red ghost in the middle broke free from its restraints, flew straight through the house and into the sky.
Cheng Shaofeng: (°ー°〃)
Forgiveness hat: (°ー°〃)
Xiaoxiao: (°ー°〃)
Three confused faces.
Forgiveness Hat looked at the Lord. He did not translate this sentence. He whispered to Xiao Xiao: "Although I don't understand what this red-clothed ghost is saying, it seems that there will be a follow-up plot..."
Xiaoxiao: "If we help it out of trouble, will there be a reward?"
Cheng Shaofeng opened his mouth wide when he heard what the red-clothed ghost said.
At this moment, there was only one word in my mind: "Fuck you!"
This red-clothed ghost was actually sealed here by someone from the Duoyu Academy! I just pretended to be someone from Duoyu Academy, and I thought I was so awesome, but... I'm just taking the blame for someone else!
"You two should put the reward aside for now and discuss it later... We may be in even bigger trouble now!"
Cheng Shaofeng turned around and was about to slip away, and the two people behind him quickly followed.
"Where do you want to go, perverts from Duoyu Academy?"
A beautiful woman in red was leaning on the door frame of the mayor's house with one hand, looking at Cheng Shaofeng and the other three with a half-smile.
