As soon as Lin Sanjiu's voice fell, someone rushed to the other two doors at the edge of the hall; She just crossed her arms, glanced at number 42, and followed slowly at the end.

Number 42 also walked over, his face as calm as a rock.

"Nope!"

The first to rush into the second room were No. 44 and No. 47, and not long after entering, No. 44's slightly shrill voice for men came out along the corridor: "Although this is also the same earthen room structure, this place is also empty, there is nothing!" ”

Lin Sanjiu was stunned.

"The third room is also empty!" On the other side, there were also people who shouted in response.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on Lin Sanjiu; Not far away, No. 42 snorted softly.

"Number 49, do you know what you're doing?" No. 47 frowned and asked coldly, "What I said just now is the ......"

It's strange, according to Ji Shanqing's analysis, there should be water droplets in the other two earthen rooms-

Lin Sanjiu never expected that the speculation of the gift package would come to naught, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned for a while; She hurried a few steps to the two doors, and was thinking quickly about what was wrong, when she suddenly raised her eyes and saw No. 45 coming out of the third door, followed by No. 46 and No. 48.

Really—Lin Sanjiu sighed in his heart. Even if she didn't use [Consciousness Mimic], she understood it at the moment.

"Number 45," she cried out, "are there no drops of water in the third chamber?" ”

"Nope." Number 45 replied dissatisfied, "I said you—"

"Did you see it with your own eyes, or did you hear the two of them say that the dirt chamber was empty?" Lin Sanjiu interrupted her.

No. 45 was stunned, and while she stammered in response, her face gradually changed: "Yes, No. 46 told me that the earthen room is empty...... I saw that No. 48 also happened to come out of it, so there is no need to go inside......"

"The second room is so empty!" No. 44 suddenly shouted, "You don't believe us? ”

"No, I think the second room is empty...... It's just ......" Lin Sanjiu laughed self-deprecatingly, and walked towards the third door.

Although she didn't say anything, from the glance she had just looked at everyone. Suffice it to say what she meant; She just moved. When someone followed, Number 45 hurriedly turned around-

"You people...... It's really annoying. ”

The cool voice of No. 42 suddenly stopped everyone's footsteps.

No. 45 didn't realize when No. 42 was silently circling behind him; This time she turned around, and she was suddenly shocked to take two steps back. Asked in a loud voice, "You-what are you going to do?" ”

Interesting-

In the sound of everyone gasping. A thought crossed Lin Sanjiu's heart.

Obviously, he was still a calm and serious, very reliable middle-aged big brother just now. But No. 42, who was squatting at the door at the moment, looked like he didn't know where the subtle changes had occurred; The slightest change had already made him look like two people—take a closer look. I can't even say whether he is a middle-aged man or not.

When he squinted and scratched his cheek, someone even asked uncertainly, "Is that 42?" ”。

No. 42 puffed out of his nose when he heard this, and the expression on his face, if I really want to describe it, was like an adult who was finally impatient to continue watching children at home, and raised half of the corners of his mouth without interest.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that his clothes hadn't changed, I'm afraid even Lin Sanjiu himself wouldn't be sure that it was the same person.

"That's amazing," she said softly, looking at No. 42 coldly, "...... I've never seen such a clever disguise. Just change your demeanor and you look like a completely different person. ”

Two crisp applause came out of No. 42's palm.

"You still know the goods," he squinted and smiled, "I didn't expect that my acting skills, which I couldn't even get a role, would come in handy after the end of the world......"

"Did you really do it? Is there a drop of water in the third earthen chamber? A tall male voice rang out in the crowd, it was No. 44: "You don't get out of the way!" ”

"Why would you want to do this?" Someone turned to No. 46 and No. 48 and asked, "Why are you two lying?" ”

"Also, the second earthen chamber is indeed empty, what's going on-"

One after another, the voices echoed through the hall into a noisy mess; Lin Sanjiu waved his hand vigorously, and only then did he exhale after seeing that everyone was gradually quieting down.

"There is only 42 alone, and this can't be done." Her gaze swept over the three silent men in front of her, deliberately lingering on No. 46's shiny and smooth hair for a few more seconds. “…… I don't think the two of them are a couple at all, they should have come here with No. 42, right? ”

No. 48's expression, which had been tense, finally broke like a string when he heard this sentence - it seemed that he was about to say something, but No. 46 immediately grabbed his arm; After stopping him, No. 46 turned his head and looked at Lin Sanjiu coldly.

Between the two groups of people who confronted each other, there was suddenly an eerie silence; In the end, it was the surprised voice of No. 45 that broke the silence: "No. 49, this ...... What the hell is going on? ”

"Didn't you say that the second chamber was empty?" Lin Sanjiu didn't seem to care that he gave his back to No. 42 and the others, and turned around and explained to everyone casually: "That's because the water droplets in the second earthen room have already been moved out by No. 48, and they are being placed on the ground in front of us at the moment." I originally thought that the second earthen room would have water droplets from the first earthen room, but I forgot that No. 42 has a prop. ”

"What? How do you know this is a drop of water in the second earthen chamber? Number 43 was obviously confused, and thought for a while before asking, "I don't see any difference." ”

Lin Sanjiu smiled. There's already an extra card in hand. She shook the card at everyone and said, "If you only look at the appearance of the water droplets, I think you have also noticed that these water droplets are exactly the same, and there is no difference. But I was lucky—for I happened to have a way of numbering all the droplets I found; The 24 droplets I found earlier were numbered from 1 to 24. ”

"However, when I re-carded the water droplets on the ground just now, the water droplets that were supposed to be numbered 1 became 25." Lin Sanjiu glanced back at the three people behind him and said with a smile: "...... That is to say. I put the droplets here before. It has been quietly replaced. ”

"You said to swap - when did he change it?"

"After we recorded all the water droplets and walked back to the first earthen room, No. 48 went into action."

"Impossible," No. 47 retorted softly, "Since we went back, no one has come out." The cubicles were piled up to the ceiling. Once he tried to venture to the door. Those who search for droplets of water on high places will soon find him. ”

"That's because. He didn't go back to the dirt chamber at all. Lin Sanjiu's gaze fell on the silent No. 48. He was a man with an ordinary appearance, even a little ugly, and he didn't even have the smooth hair of No. 46, only the sweat stains that slowly oozed from his forehead at the moment-

"We counted the number of people, huh?" Number 45 shouted. "There were no less than one at that time!"

"Even if I lied when I counted on the 42nd. I did see No. 48 in the dirt room," No. 47 chimed in, "I saw it when I changed areas, and No. 46 and No. 48 were there. ”

Under the deliberate silence of No. 42 and others, several people on the other side unconsciously took on the role of refuting Lin Sanjiu, which has to be said to be a bit amazing.

"Is that really the case?" Lin Sanjiu smiled and was not in a hurry: "To be honest, I also saw No. 48." Not only did I see him in a small cubicle, but I also happened to see that his hair was still shining in the dim...... It was the sight of that hair that made me wonder; It was obviously No. 46 hair, but it had a No. 48 number plate. I thought I was wrong...... But after thinking about it, it's so dark in the earthen room, we can't actually see people clearly, we can only see the number plate, right? Besides, in order to avoid everyone's attention in an open manner, these two even did not hesitate to pretend to be a same-sex couple-"

"What are you talking about, as soon as the number plate leaves, won't No. 48 die!" Number 45 covered his mouth: "Harry clearly emphasized it! ”

"Really? Then you bend down and give it a try. Lin Sanjiu said as he demonstratively bent down; The number plate with 49 written on it suddenly dangled vertically from her chest, swinging in the air. "When we searched for water droplets, the number plate itself had already left our bodies countless times...... What really doesn't leave our bodies is this strap around our necks. ”

This statement obviously shocked everyone, and it was only after a while that someone muttered, "Do you mean it...... No. 48 removed the number plate and gave it to No. 46, leaving only one strap for himself? ”

No. 48 suddenly sneered: "You tear one down and I'll take a look!" ”

"No, I can't remove the numbered plate." Everyone didn't expect Lin Sanjiu to deny this statement first: "Or, it's not okay to just remove the number plate." It is connected to the belt, once the number plate is gone, I am afraid that only the belt will not work; But with this premise, it gave No. 48 a chance. ”

"What chance?"

"You haven't forgotten, have you? The previous group had a seed dead. When Lin Sanjiu said this, he also faintly admired Ji Shanqing's quick thinking: "...... It stands to reason that there is still a number plate on the body of that seed. ”

"According to Harry, after the death of a seed, there are three scenarios. One, if the seed had lost its number plate and was crushed by the land, then he would not have taken care of the corpse. Two, if the seed doesn't germinate, it will still rot in the ground and won't be dug up by Harry - note that, in this case, the seed still has a number plate on it. In the last case, the seeds poisoned by the contaminated water will be dug up by Harry along with the number plate. ”

"What happened to the seeds of the previous group, everyone is already clear. That is, in addition to the eight numbered plates 42 to 49. There is also a ninth card in this earthen chamber - I think No. 42, who first went down to the cave, has already taken this number plate and handed it to No. 48. When No. 46 wore two number plates into the earthen room, No. 48 stayed outside alone, put away all the water droplets in the first earthen room, and replaced them with those who moved out of the second room. All the speculations on the 42nd, what the secret passages are, and the growth, are all to delay time...... For this reason, he also specially hid 5 water droplets for us to discover. ”

The hall was as quiet as a cemetery, and for a long time no one spoke.

"For ...... Why? Finally someone hesitated.

This time answer the question. It's not Lin Sanjiu - I saw No. 42 suddenly stand up. Holding his head in his hands, he moved several times with a "click", and then sighed and said: "Didn't you say everything on No. 49, it's to let you test the poison!" ”

Even if he has long understood that he can't get out of the relationship, but when he admits it himself. It still stirred up a murmur in the hall.

"I'll just get to the point." No. 42 smiled. "Only through appearances. It's impossible to tell which droplets are contaminated, right? When you were desperately looking for drops of water in the first earthen room, I had already come out once; At that time, I had seen three earthen rooms. Only then did I finally find a clue. ”

"What clues?"

Hearing someone ask, No. 42 smiled and didn't say anything, and only looked at Lin Sanjiu - the latter sank his face and sighed, and then said softly: "...... Are the structures of the three earthen chambers and the arrangement and distribution of the water droplets exactly the same? ”

"That's right!" No. 42 clapped his hands and exclaimed, "I really didn't expect that a more muscular person like you would also think of this step." You've tried all sorts of things, but you still don't know how to tell the water droplets, and that's because I've hidden the only hint. ”

This time, no one even bothered to express outrage.

Lin Sanjiu said with a straight face: "If the arrangement in the earthen room is different, there is no need for you to replace our water beads at all - besides, it is a bit unnatural for you to insist on letting everyone find the water beads in the partition before; After all, if you want not to miss it, it is the safest way to find the past between the grids. I guess you divided the water droplets in the second earthen chamber into zones and sequences and redistributed them to everyone, right? ”

"W-What do you mean?" Number 44 stammered.

Lin Sanjiu sighed. He wrote down the distribution of the water droplets in the second chamber...... For example, there are a few water droplets in the first room of the first row, and in what order are they placed under our name. Since all the earthen chambers are arranged in the same way, when we taste that a certain drop of water is pure, we know that in the next two earthen chambers, the same drop of water is also pure. ”

No. 42 burst into laughter, looking like he was very happy: "That's right! ”

"It's very ironic, as I said before, the essence of this level is that it really takes eight seeds to work together to clear the level." No. 42 didn't seem to see the increasingly angry crowd, and only smiled and said, "Since the distribution of water droplets is the same, then it can be concluded that the total number of water droplets in the three earthen chambers is about 649 - that is, the ratio of purity to pollution is about one to one." In terms of everyone's physique, they can fully afford such trial and error. Even if you are unlucky, you can stop before you run out of stamina - if one person has too many polluted droplets of water on his hands, then there must be more pure droplets in the other's hands. ”

"Speaking of which, you should be aware of that too, right?" When Number 42 narrowed his eyes, it made him look a bit like some kind of canine. “…… I advise you to put that expression away and try to please me from now on. After all, I'm the only one who has a record of the distribution of the water droplets in the second earthen room, and this is your last chance to find the pure water droplets. (To be continued.) )
