CHAPTER XXIX
The lava was boiling as if it were going to devour everything, and the earth was trembling as if it were afraid of some monster. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhan Lan and Hao Meng hugged the log tightly, fortunately, the amplitude of the vibration was not large, but the frequency was a little higher, and the two barely got thrown off the log, but it was almost delusional to move forward in this situation.
Hao Meng was not flustered, and it could even be said that the accident in front of him had already been expected by him, but Zhan Lan's performance behind him was very unsatisfactory, but as an ordinary person, her performance was already very good, if it weren't for the previous Zhan Lan Zhuyu in front......
At that moment, the tremors stopped eerily, and then there was a rumbling sound, accompanied by an unpleasant smell of sulfur, and the magma giant floated up from the 'river'.
The lava giant didn't look at the two little ants on the log, but just let out a silent roar into the sky, and a wave of hot heat hit in all directions.
Zhan Lan looked at the lava giant with a pale face, and the feeling of death captured her wholeheartedly.
"It doesn't feel good to die like this." Under the influence of a certain force, Zhan Lan slowly let go of the hand holding the log, but after seeing Hao Meng who was looking at the lava giant indifferently in the corner of his eye, his heart that was blinded by the mysterious power suddenly woke up.
Call...... It's a shame, I'm more than ten years older than Xiaomeng, and my performance is so bad.
……
After the lava giant had enough of his majesty, he lowered his head and looked at Hao Meng and Zhan Lan.
"Mortals, I am Haraxiu, the Lord of Lava!"
The majestic voice filled the entire space, and the strong oppression dared to make Zhan Lan's cold hair stand on end.
"It's not a majestic name, though." At this time, Hao Meng actually stood up directly from the log, looked up at the lava monarch, and said, "Respected lava monarch, may I ask your question." Hao Meng asked respectfully, "
The voices of the man and the woman who could not be distinguished came from the mouth of the lava giant again: "What a clever mortal, I like to communicate with you smart people the most, I am a demon who likes philosophy."
The demon who claimed to like philosophy laughed as if he had poked his own laugh.
"My test was simple, answer me three questions...... As long as everything is correct, you can pass this place, of course, those who fail don't need any punishment, anyway, you're going to die, hehahaha"
A little spark fell from the sky, Hao Meng thought about it, took off his clothes and waved it to help Zhan Lan block the sparks.
Zhan Lan's head kept down, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.
"First question, let's be simple, I'll give you a double-sided coin and a camera, can you take me a picture of a two-sided coin?"
Impossible, Hao Meng's first thought was this, but before he could say the answer, a voice next to him sounded.
"Yes!" It was Zhan Lan who spoke, and it seemed that Hao Meng's actions had given her great courage, and she also stood up from the log, looking at the lava demon with a hint of fear: "Although it stands to reason that it is never possible to take a picture of a coin that appears on both sides of the photo at the same time, you can do this impossible thing with the help of something like a mirror." ”
"It seems that the first question is really simple, and even a mortal like you can answer it." The demon seemed unhappy that his question was answered so quickly. "Let's make it a little more difficult, second question...... What is it that people can never catch up? "As soon as the demon opened his mouth, it was this vague riddle.
What people can never catch up with? Train? Plane? Or an animal? Or light or death?
Zhan Lan had already put aside all distractions at this time, and was concentrating on thinking about the demon's words.
"Time...... The only thing that people can never catch up with is time. Hao Meng said affirmatively. This time it was Hao Meng who gave the answer.
The Lava Demon paused for a moment, then said, "Well, tell me your reasons, if you can convince me, you are right about the question, if not...... You know the consequences. ”
Vile! Zhan Lan muttered in his heart, even if they say the right answer, the demon will be able to say that you can't convince me, and then drive them into the lava to take a bath.
"Human beings have only two attitudes towards time, one is to hope that time will pass faster, and some things want time to pass slowly. So human beings can never catch up with time. ”
The demon was silent, and after a long time, it couldn't find fault before it said unwillingly: "Even if you pass the second question, but the third question is not so easy."
Hao Meng and Zhan Lan suddenly calmed down, and it became clear that the third question asked by the demon who was embarrassed by them must be very difficult, or very simple, but with multiple answers.
However, the demon did not rush to say the problem, but took care of it and told a story: "Once upon a time there was a little human girl who had the ability to control her relatives, strangers, and friends to come and protect herself, but this ability was uncontrollable, and only activated when she was about to be harmed...... When the little girl grows up, she enters a class of all killers who plan to kill her, and one of the killers improvises to protect the girl. So here's the problem. ”
The lava demon monster looked at Hao Meng and the two with a smile and said, "Then how can I prove that this killer's action to protect the girl is controlled by the girl's ability, or is it determined by his own will?" ”
Unsolvable Problem......
This is Zhan Lan's idea, the question raised by the demon is completely unsolvable in her opinion, the amount of information is too little, and there is no effective information to be drawn from the paragraph just now, to prove that the killer is based on his own will to protect the girl, at least one effective information should be needed.
"It's simple."
It's still Hao Meng, he looked at the demon calmly: "As long as the killer kills the girl, if the killer succeeds, it proves that she is indeed relying on her own will to protect the girl." ”
This is the wrong 'answer' A trace of despair flashed in Zhan Lan's eyes, and she also thought about the 'answer' that Hao Meng said, but quickly gave up, because it doesn't matter whether the 'answer' is correct or not, the important thing is that the 'answer' can convince the demon.
And the 'answer' with such an obvious hole is definitely unlikely to satisfy the demon, even if it is a demon who likes philosophy.
The Lava Demon was silent for a long time before he said, "This answer is wrong, and I'm sorry you can't pass through here." ”
After the demon finished speaking, the familiar tremor reappeared.
