The seven people except Lin Sanjiu obviously didn't understand why she suddenly cared about the previous group of seeds, and looked at each other a few times, and each other's faces were confused.

It seemed that Lin Sanjiu didn't have any intention of explaining, just tilted his head and waited for Harry's answer - after a few seconds, Harry's sigh voice sounded in the earthen room: "...... The seed died of exhaustion because it absorbed the polluted water droplets and failed to germinate. ”

"Is the requirement for germination in their group to be 40 droplets of clean water per person?"

"No," replied Harry, "as I said, the requirements and conditions are different for each group. In the previous group, water from the soil was made into clean droplets by connecting wires...... You don't need to know the specifics, but the dead seed didn't work out. ”

Lin Sanjiu nodded, and didn't continue to ask; She glanced at the crowd behind her and asked with a smile, "So, what about the corpse of that seed?" ”

"What does she care about corpses?" Number 44's muttering voice rang out from behind, "...... What does this have to do with us? ”

Lin Sanjiu ignored him; Seeing that Harry didn't answer for a moment, the crowd gradually fell silent.

When Harry spoke again, his answer surprised everyone - "...... Still in this earthen chamber. ”

"Sure enough." Lin Sanjiu smiled, "Thank you, Harry. ”

As soon as she finished saying this, someone immediately couldn't hold it back: "Hey, No. 49." What the hell is going on? What do you know? ”

Lin Sanjiu sat down cross-legged next to her "Water Bead Phalanx"—in the absence of energy replenishment, she refused to stand now when she could sit, and tried to spend the least amount of physical strength—"I said, since you are all out, you might as well come and absorb the water beads together." ”

"I thought you had some great idea." No. 47 frowned and pulled the robe on his body: "The result is still luck?" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, after we've absorbed these droplets, new droplets will appear." Lin Sanjiu nodded at him, then turned to No. 46 and asked, "...... That's what you think too, right? ”

"Ahh Right. That's right. No. 46 apparently didn't expect her to ask herself a cold question, and her tone was stunned; After he brushed his moist and smooth hair, he seemed to think about it quickly, and nodded affirmatively: "I think." There's only one possibility. ”

"But there's pollution in these droplets—" Someone objected at once. "In case you absorb too many polluted droplets. What if you die of direct weakness? ”

"Do you have a better way?" Lin Sanjiu looked at the voice. Seeing that the person who spoke was indeed No. 43, his tone was lighter: "...... We've been underground for almost two days now, and we still don't have a clue. Ten days will pass in the blink of an eye. If you don't take the risk now, you will have to rot in the ground. ”

"There's still a lot of time, maybe there's something to ......be done," muttered 45, "Is it really necessary to take the risk so early?" ”

"There is no difference between early absorption and late absorption of polluted water droplets," Lin Sanjiu said immediately: "...... Stamina does not change over time during seeding. ”

"But—"

"Listen to me, everybody!" Seeing that everyone was holding their own words and the situation was getting more and more chaotic, No. 42 was busy speaking out - seeing that everyone was really quiet, he slowly said: "What you said makes sense." But since no one can convince anyone, how about we decide by secret ballot? ”

It's not a bad idea - after all, when there are many people, this is the only way to ensure a certain degree of fairness.

The crowd buzzed for a while, and soon the proposal of No. 42 was approved. After deciding on the method of voting, one by one, everyone wrote down their opinions on small slips of paper that were distributed to each person and threw them into a box that someone else had taken out.

Lin Sanjiu exhaled silently, and the last one voted in.

She didn't have to listen to the record ticket at all, she already knew the result-

The result must be "agree to absorb the droplets now."

“…… So, there are 6 votes that agree with the current absorption of water droplets, and 2 votes that disagree. After the 42nd sang the votes, he showed the votes to everyone one by one, and said with a serious face: "According to the results of everyone's votes, we will start to absorb water droplets next." ”

"Big brother No. 42," as soon as his voice fell, Lin Sanjiu laughed loudly: "You are the first in terms of ranking, you come first." ”

No. 42 was stunned, and his face turned red for a moment; It's just that his expression immediately returned to normal, and he just wiped his forehead and said, "...... You're right, I'll start with the first droplet. ”

Bending down to pick up a drop of water from his place, he couldn't help but pause, and then laughed self-deprecatingly: "Hey, I didn't expect to be a little nervous." ”

Covering the water droplets with his hands up and down, Number 42 whispered "absorb" - and the next second, the water droplets immediately disappeared from between his palms.

Everyone's breathing couldn't help but tense at this moment; Seven pairs of eyes were firmly fixed on No. 42's plain and serious face, as if they could see the lottery numbers from his face - I waited for a few seconds in fear, only to see that No. 42's face was still as ruddy as just now, but he suddenly exhaled: "It's okay...... I'm fine, it's clean. ”

At this moment, even Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief; However, immediately after, she laughed again: "Big brother No. 42 is really lucky!" So it's up to you to get the next one, right? ”

There was a sudden silence in the earthen hall, and even without turning her head, she could feel several eyes on her face.

No. 42 did not move, nor did he bend down to get the droplets; He looked at Lin Sanjiu quietly, and after a while, he whispered, "...... That's not fair, right? ”

"I think that's fair." She didn't seem to notice the sudden subtle atmosphere at all, and her smile didn't change at all: "After you absorb all your 26 water droplets, then No. 43 will absorb his 27 water droplets...... Come one by one. What's wrong? ”

Number 42 didn't speak, and from his stern face, which was as serious as cement, it was impossible to tell what he meant at this time.

The remaining six people, you look at me, I look at you, and they don't seem to understand why these two people suddenly confronted each other; After hesitating for a moment, No. 48 said loudly: "I said 49, there is no problem with one person sucking one, I don't mind......"

"Of course you don't mind." Lin San didn't reply, he laughed coldly, still staring at No. 42. "If you don't mind. Let me explain it to you. Why is No. 42 reluctant to absorb all the water droplets first? ”

There was a low uproar from the crowd, but it didn't affect her clear voice in the slightest to spread throughout the hall; When they heard what she said, everyone fell silent: "...... He didn't want to, because he had been waiting for us to test the poison for him. Now it's up to him to try it for us. Of course he wasn't happy anymore. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" No. 42 suddenly snorted. A look of disbelief: "Are you stupid?" We must absorb the water droplets intact before we know whether it is polluted or not; That is, when I know that the droplets are not contaminated. It has long been absorbed by people. Poison testing or something, there's no point in it here! ”

"You're right, that's what I thought in the first place. But after seeing your reaction just now, I was convinced of one thing-" Lin Sanjiu smiled slightly, "You already know that this level must be passed by someone to test the poison." ”

If it was just an uproar just now, the hall was now almost a pot of boiling porridge - in the midst of the noise of everyone, Number 42's face gradually turned cold, and a mocking smile appeared on the side of his lips that were pursed tightly.

"According to what you said, I absorbed the water droplets first, which is equivalent to testing the poison for you? Now that I've absorbed one, tell me how you're going to find the next droplet of cleansing water based on that? ”

Even without the whispers of the audience, just from the eyes cast, Lin Sanjiu knew that the others probably thought she was crazy at the moment.

Oh yes, she's actually a schizophrenic now.

This sudden thought made Lin Sanjiu smile, and then she slowly stood up from the ground.

The gaze of substance crossed over everyone's body heavily; When the noise in the hall subsided, Lin Sanjiu said softly: "If I guessed correctly, I already know where the next drop of pure water is." ”

"What?" "Don't make such jokes—"

Someone screamed.

"You've all been deceived." Lin Sanjiu turned a deaf ear and continued, "Let me explain from the beginning—Harry told us that pure water droplets are definitely enough for eight people to sprout, and that's true; Moreover, these drops of pure water have been in front of us since the beginning. ”

"Are these pure?" Number 45 looked at the ground and raised an eyebrow: "That number is not right......"

"No, that's not what I mean."

Lin Sanjiu smiled lightly, suddenly turned around, raised his hand and pointed not far away: "-The water droplets are there." ”

Following the direction of her finger, everyone's eyes fell on the other two tightly closed doors in the hall, and they were all stunned for a moment, as if they couldn't react at all.

"I ask you, why do everyone, including me, choose the first door on the left to walk in after the number of people is full?"

"Because Harry's hint is on the door!" Number 43 frowned and replied, "The other two doors should be for the other groups—"

"That's right, we chose the first door on the left because the sign on the door says '42 to 49'." Lin Sanjiu's gaze swept back and forth on everyone's faces, and he asked rhetorically, "...... But was that really Harry's work? ”

Hearing the sound of someone taking a deep breath, Lin Sanjiu smiled slightly, raised his feet and walked towards the door on the far left.

"This is the dirt chamber that Harry dug for the seeds, how can he, as a farmer, get into the ground and stick notes? Well, maybe you'll say it's a copy, and he probably won't need it at all...... Yes, that's right, it's possible. Coming to the door with the notice, Lin Sanjiu tore off the piece of paper and shook it lightly: "...... But on this piece of paper, there is one of the most irrational. ”

"What is it?"

"Do any of you remember the wooden sign in front of the entrance to the dungeon?" Lin Sanjiu turned his head around, and suddenly mentioned an irrelevant matter: "Do you remember what is written on the wooden card?" ”

"On the front is Harry Farm," 44 replied disapprovingly, "and on the reverse is a bunch of advertisements for Rory's ramblings." ”

"Yes, but let me add one thing." Lin Sanjiu unfolded the notice in his hand: "Whether it is a few words of Harry Farm or an advertisement, it is written in several words. The only ones I could recognize were 'Harry's Farm' and 'Harry's Farm'...... The rest of the text, except for Japanese and French, is something I've never seen before. ”

"Isn't it strange that you look at this notice again? There was only one script and Arabic numerals. Lin Sanjiu turned his head to look at No. 42 - he had been standing where he had just been, motionless: "...... That's because the person who wrote the notice just naturally used his native language; He didn't remember the rest of the text, and he couldn't write it at all. The only person who is able to do this is the first person to go down to the cave - that is, No. 42. ”

"Harry sounded surprised when we were all gathered in that dirt room; When he goes on to describe the droplets, the examples he gives are also very strange. He said at the time that the droplets were like paper and pen and could be carried around – but they were more like rubber balls. Seeing that No. 42 opened his mouth, as if he was about to say something, Lin Sanjiu quickly preemptively said: "The reason why Harry didn't say it explicitly is because even if someone between the seeds does something to interfere with others, he can't interfere, and all he can do is a subtle hint - I've proven this through experiments." ”

Suddenly, someone let out a sudden realization: "You-last night-"

"Yes." Lin Sanjiu nodded: "I blocked the only passage between you and the water beads, but Harry didn't say anything. ”

"Of course, I have evidence beyond this experiment." She leaned against the wall with her arms crossed and looked at No. 42 not far away: "...... The first one is that when No. 42 recorded my water droplets, the handwriting left should be exactly the same as on this piece of paper. If I'm not mistaken, it seems that even the pen and paper were provided by him. The second one—"

In the eager eyes of everyone, Lin Sanjiu waved his hand to the two doors not far away: "As long as you walk into the earthen room behind those two doors, I think you will naturally see the water droplets inside." (To be continued.) )

PS: I said, why did everyone suddenly mention things like the male protagonist again...... It's said that there is no emotional drama, just watch the plot.

It's not for the book review area, but a reader showed me a post today, and I think it's really bad to talk about these things; For example, some people can't accept that there are plots such as men are stronger than female protagonists, and female protagonists are looking for strong men to study, or classify this article as female strong or something...... I would like to state one last time that this article does not carry any ********, I just want to tell a story; It's normal for stories to have trade-offs, what I give up is the emotional line, and the focus is on the plot; Although I can't write well, I still want to write about all kinds of characters, all kinds of personalities, appearances, and past...... Rather than dividing into two camps according to gender. I hope that when you read the article, you can forget the gender of the character - you see, 39 doesn't you forget? There are so many things in a person besides gender, and I want my character to be human first and foremost, and male/female/not male/female/genderless after a lot of characteristics......
