Chapter 177, Anagram Puzzle [I]

"Good! Now let's move on to the third question!"

In the smoke, the voice sounded again: "The story begins with a girl who was boating on the lake, intending to have an encounter, but when she never thought of the center of the lake, the girl's boat suddenly capsized inexplicably.

The girl couldn't swim, so a boy jumped into the lake and rescued her.

The girl was grateful, and it happened that it was her birthday, so the girl invited the boy to accompany her for her birthday.

The girl asks the boy to eat at home, and when faced with the birthday cake, the girl does not blow out the candles herself, but lets the boy blow it out.

After blowing out the candles, the boy plucked up the courage to confess to the girl.

The girl shook her head and said, 'You are brave, but we are not suitable, I prefer smart people.' ’

Hearing this, the boy suddenly laughed: 'Do you know why the boat capsizes?'

The girl was stunned for a moment, and her eyes widened: 'Did you knock it over?'

The boy smirked: "Isn't it smart to save the beauty of the planned hero?, now, I can be your boyfriend, right?"

The girl shook her head: 'No, you're still not smart enough'"

At this point, the shrill voice stopped abruptly.

After a pause for a few seconds, the ghost in the smoke spoke again: "Then the question is, why does the girl say that the boy is not smart enough, and what will be the result?"

As soon as the question came up, several of us fell silent again.

When faced with the second question, Tang Yuying's answer can be said to have surprised all of us, including me, I didn't expect Tang Yuying to answer so quickly.

Of course, to achieve that effect, in addition to her keen reasoning ability, there is also Tang Yuying's amazing memory.

Not to mention that in our class, with Tang Yuying's academic performance, she is also among the best in the top class.

With such good results, it is naturally inseparable from its own ability.

In some ways, I ask myself too many Sakura in the Karatsu language.

So the second question, she was able to answer it quickly, while I was still recalling some of the details of the question.

Tang Yuying can remember every sentence of the problem, even every word, typical of memorable, but I can't, my analysis and reasoning may be very strong, but memory is my flaw.

In the face of this kind of problem of relying purely on hearing and memory, it is not as good as Tang Yuying.

However, at this moment, the second question has just ended, and before I have time to rejoice, the third question has been smashed.

It's a much easier question to remember than before, so while the ghost asks the question, I've already started to think about it.

After a while, when I found a few key points in the question, the answer was basically ready to come out in combination with the style of the question.

I have the answer, but now is not the time to be exposed.

After all, there is still more than half of the time left before a stick of incense.

If Tang Yuying can answer on her own, then of course it is best, if not, it will not be too late for me to hint secretly.

After all, when I reminded Song Qian before, the hunchbacked old man had already given me a warning with a look, and although he didn't do anything to me, I had to be cautious.

I don't choose to take risks unless I have to.

Besides, with Song Qian's intelligence, she doesn't necessarily need my help.

Time was passing little by little, and after thinking for a moment to no avail, Wang Gang couldn't help but come up to me and asked in a low voice, "Brother, have you solved this problem?"

"It's kind of solved. I nodded.

"What the hell is it? Why am I confused, tell me quickly!" Wang Gang looked curious about the baby and began to urge.

"No hurry!"

I shook my head: "Let's listen to what Yu Sakura has to say first." ”

After glancing at the hunchbacked old man, Wang Gang seemed to have thought of something and didn't dwell on it too much, but his curiosity, which was a bit obsessive-compulsive, made him restless.

After about ten minutes, Tang Yuying's beautiful eyes opened, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "The answer is already there." ”

"What?" Hearing Tang Yuying's words, the shrill voice in the smoke changed tone.

"If you're not mistaken, the boy should die in the end!" Tang Yuying gave the answer.

"Why?"

"The reason is simple, the girl can't swim, so she was already dead when the boat capsized. She asked the boy to blow out the candle because she couldn't blow it out because she didn't have any breath. ”

Tang Yuying began to analyze: "The girl invited the boy to dinner, at first just to thank the boy for his kindness. Even if she was dead, at least the boy wanted to save her. But when the boy told the girl the truth about the capsizing of the boat, the girl's initial gratitude turned into revenge!

Tang Yuying's words made the ghost in the smoke suddenly scream: "No! How could you know the answer? No, I can't answer, why can, no! I don't believe it!"

"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean that others can't. Tang Yuying's expression didn't change much.

Ghosts seem to retain some of their personalities, and in reality, there are many such people, who can't do it themselves, but never trust others to do it.

"The three questions have been answered, and now, have I cleared the customs?" asked Tang Yuying.

"No! I don't want to go in, I don't want to!"

There was a terrible scream from the smoke, but before it could react, the hunchbacked old man beckoned and completely sucked the smoke into the sarcoma behind it.

From some previous information, I can judge that the ghost in the hunchbacked old man's sarcoma should be a participant in this death game, just like us.

It's just that they failed to break through the level, so they were sucked into sarcoma and endured hellish torture.

The two ghosts that appeared just now both mentioned the word "ten years", that is, they were both trapped here ten years ago, ten years ago, after the death game began, there were sixty-one people in the class, only one person was alive, and the rest were all dead.

I don't know how many of them died in the tenth game of death.

In other words, what we have experienced, ten years ago, has already been experienced.

This steel labyrinth is not the first time it has appeared in the nightmare world.

And those who survived until the end of the game have been the only ones in the past ten years.

The rest of the people who fail in the game, even if they die, are afraid that they will not be able to settle down.

This terrible curse is not only to take people's lives, but also to be tortured by the curse after death.

Whether it was the two ghosts just now, or the scene I saw in the classroom before, the cloaked man holding the soul chain dealing with the dead classmates, can illustrate a problem.

Being under the curse of death, whether you live or die, you can't escape the curse.

If you want to get rid of it, you must either break the curse, or live to the end like Li Ranlan.

While I was thinking about it, the hunchbacked old man had already made a final decision.

"Wen Dou has passed the level, and you can go up. ”

The hunchbacked old man doesn't talk much, but every word he says determines our life and death.

If you pass the level, you can pass through the stone gate and enter the second layer, then if you fail to break through, you can only be sucked into the sarcoma behind him like the previous ghost.

The two ghosts have been tortured for ten years, and they don't know how much pain they have endured, and even their hearts have been twisted.

If you fall into that kind of fate, it will be worse than death.

After hearing the words of the hunchbacked old man, Tang Yuying nodded, and did not walk directly into the stone gate, but came to Song Qian and sat down.

Obviously, she was going to wait for us together.

After all, no one knows what will happen to the second layer, and it is difficult to survive alone.

"Who's next?"

The hunchbacked old man's voice was hoarse and without any emotion.

Whether we pass it or not, it doesn't seem to matter to him, his existence is just to set a level for us.

To put it simply, it is an NPC in the game.

If you succeed in the level, you will be rewarded, and if you fail the level, you will be punished, and there will be no emotional factor.

That's why, when the two ghosts attack, he will stop them.

Because all these are the rules of the game set by the Grim Reaper, and no one can and dare not break them.

With the precedent of Tang Yuying and Song Qian, it has greatly increased our morale and confidence.

Needless to say, everyone didn't dare to touch it again, but Wen Dou, Tang Yuying just now had already tested the water for us.

Judging from the question raised by the ghost just now, it is not particularly difficult.

Of course, this is only limited to the situation after Tang Yuying gave the answer, and many people still can't answer it when they don't know the correct answer.

Only after Tang Yuying answered, they suddenly realized, they felt that it was very simple, and if they thought about it carefully, they seemed to be able to solve it, which was an illusion that many people would have.

It's like magic, if you don't know the truth, you will feel very awesome and profound.

But after really seeing through the magic, it will feel very simple and not worth mentioning.

It's the same with some puzzles, after solving them, they feel nothing, and when they can't solve them, they always feel that something is missing and they can't remember.

Regarding the hunchbacked old man's inquiry, Liu Yun glanced left and right, finally took a step forward, and said coldly: "This time, let me try." ”

"Yun'er, you ......"

As soon as he saw Liu Yun stepping forward, Wang Gang was immediately anxious, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Liu Yun.

"Everybody has to beat it, and there's no difference between early and late. ”

In a word, Wang Gang didn't know what to say.

Indeed, the hunchbacked old man blocked the stone gate, and it was already very clear that everyone had to break through, and only those who succeeded in breaking through could enter.

In this case, there are no tricks, and the rules of the game must be followed.

"Wen Dou or Wu Dou?" the hunchbacked old man's words were still very simple.

"Wen Dou!"

Liu Yun took a deep breath.

The hunchbacked old man nodded, and did not respond directly, but reached out with a gesture, and a cloud of smoke flew out of the sarcoma behind him again.

This time, the smoke was slightly lighter than before.

After appearing, it also began to transform rapidly, but this time, the smoke did not transform into a human form, but a human face, a human face that flickered and dimmed.

The human face has a nose, eyes, and a mouth, and all the facial features are complete, but there is no clear physiognomy, because the whole face is made of smoke.

The shape of the human face is also constantly changing, and it is basically not fixed.

After the face appeared, his eyes stared directly at Liu Yun.

"Another one who is not afraid of death!"

The corners of the person's face and mouth hooked up a cruel smile, and he said coldly: "Now I ask three anagram questions, if you can answer them, even if you clear the level!"

"Just ask. ”

With Tang Yuying's example, Liu Yun can also stay calm.

"Very good, now let's start with the first question. ”

With a smile on his face, he didn't delay the time, and asked straight to the point: "There is a scene in this riddle: According to legend, one day, Li Bai went to an inn for dinner, and after eating, the boss came up and asked, how is this dish done? Li Bai asked the boss to bring paper and arms, and then wrote a poem on the paper. [The heavy rain blew on the wet wall, Zhuge had no plan to find Zhang Liang, Guan Gong ran away from the red rabbit horse, and Liu Bei went to the battlefield with a knife. 】”

"Excuse me, what kind of anagram do these four poems correspond to?"

"Don't say I'm bullying you, give you a hint, it's all about the meal. ”

After speaking, a strange smile suddenly appeared on the person's face.

Obviously, the ghost was confident in his anagrams, otherwise he wouldn't have spoken wildly and uttered hints.

Of course, as for whether its hints are true or not, only it knows.

If you are a little more suspicious, you will naturally not believe the other party's words, after all, this is a literary fight, and the other party can completely deceive people.

As soon as this question came out, Liu Yun's face couldn't help but change slightly.
