Chapter Sixty-Eight: Ink Dye Defeats
"It shouldn't be, the martial artist assessment is not that simple, and the test behind him must have a deeper meaning......" Wu Ye calmly analyzed with his cheeks raised, his eyes staring intently at the two staff members holding signs, trying to find a little clue about the answer from them.
"Warm reminder, when you are all dyed black, it means that you have failed the assessment~" The examiner on the stage said with a smile.
"Black?!" Wu Ye was shocked, is this implying something? It's still a hint of the problem, and I always feel that something is wrong.
The people present were also puzzled, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the chief examiner's gourd, and discussing it by themselves.
"I seem to have seen the type of question somewhere......" Zhou Mengyao pondered in her heart for a moment and said to the others.
"Really?" Li Hong's eyes lit up, "Sister Mengyao, hurry up and talk about it!" ”
However, before Zhou Mengyao could speak, a male student in the crowd raised his hand and asked, "Examiner Ah Meng, can I ask the two villagers a question?" ”
The examiner didn't seem surprised at all, and still smiled and nodded: "Yes, but only one question is allowed to be asked to each villager~"
"Okay." The male student nodded slightly, then stretched out his finger and pointed at the two of them, "I'm going to ask them the same question, that is, please tell the two of you what is the color range of your own village?" ”
After asking, the men's college felt a burst of joy in their hearts, so that whether it is true or false, they can know which is the correct answer!
At this time, the two people holding the sign smiled and stretched out their fingers, and the one holding the red card pointed to the person holding the blue card, and the person holding the blue card pointed to himself.
"Very well, in this way, you can know that the real village is the one holding the blue card, and the answer is the blue zone!" The male student said smugly.
"Uh, yes...... Is that so? Meng Yao girl? Li Hong couldn't help but wonder.
"Yes, that's how the answer to that type of question is the answer." Zhou Mengyao nodded.
Blue Zone...... Is it really the village of honesty in the middle of the problem? That so-called answer range......
Wu Ye frowned, he always felt that it was not so simple, if it was really just a question that tested his logical thinking ability, why did he have to choose to stand in the interval to determine the answer, wouldn't it be good to answer the question directly? And, that black ...... of what he said in his mouth What does it mean to be completely blacked......
After thinking about it, a large number of candidates were already standing in the blue interval, and only a few were standing in the red interval.
"There is still 1 minute before the answer is announced, please make a choice as soon as possible~" Ah Meng, the chief examiner on the stage, still smiled gently.
"What to do?! Wu Ye, which one do we choose? Do you want to go to the blue side too? Or is it red? "Li Hong is a little crazy, he is the worst at intelligence tests.
"Actually, I've heard this type of problem before, but it won't work at all to solve the content of this assessment with that puzzle...... Wu Ye said in a solemn tone.
"What do you mean by that?" Li Hong scratched her head, still looking puzzled.
"First of all, unlike the prototype of the puzzle, the passing traveler met two villagers at the fork in the road instead of one, and the two villagers said to the traveler that one of them was a villager from the village of honesty and the other was a villager from the village of lying. But...... This puzzle was problematic from the start! ”
"Huh? What's the problem? Li Hong couldn't help but ask.
"If one of the two people lies, they will both say that they are villagers of the Honest Village, but it is also possible that they are both villagers of the Lying Village......" Wu Ye's eyes gradually condensed, "In this way, it is impossible to confirm whether the road behind that fork in the road is a village or a cliff......"
"Original...... I see!!! Li Hong was shocked by Wu Ye's conjecture, and then scratched her head in distress, "Ahhhh!!h ”
"Guys, the time is almost up, and it seems like we're left with no choice." Ogawa reminded from the side.
"There are still 10 seconds left, if you don't choose, you will be considered as abstaining~" The examiner's face was full of meaningful smiles, so that Wu Ye could never see through what the truth was.
However, recalling the question asked by the male student just now, and the gestures of the two villagers, the problem was that they were asked to say the right path, but they were not asked to point it out, that is, if the prerequisites were not established, it was at least certain that blue was not the correct answer, and what about red, no, there were too few clues to be sure, and more than that, it was still impossible to explain what it meant to be completely blackened......
"What to do? Wu Ye, if you don't choose again, it's too late! Li Hong shouted anxiously.
"Forget it, take a gamble, let's go!"
So Wu Ye, who finally made up his mind, took a few people and jumped onto the red zone platform, and now, all the candidates present made a choice, more than half of them were in the blue zone, and only a small part was in the red zone.
"Alright, now that you've all made your choice, I'm going to announce the correct answer!"
After seeing that all the members were already standing in the red and blue zone on both sides of the front, he nodded in satisfaction and raised his hands high.
"The wrong answer is, the one who dyes black doesn't pass!"
"Blackened?"
"What do you mean by being black?"
"Are there any other color ranges......
"Does that mean we passed?"
At the same time as the discussion below, the examiner Ah Meng smiled and said: "You will understand soon, please watch the big screen!" ”
"Bell, bell!"
I saw that the red and blue answer ranges in the picture kept flashing, and after a few seconds, they finally froze in two intervals at the same time.
"What?!"
At the moment when everyone exclaimed, the people in the area on both sides of the white platform felt that their feet were soft, and the ground where they were originally standing suddenly collapsed, and the scene suddenly got out of control, and everyone let out a miserable scream.
Underneath the hollow is a bottomless pitch black, but if you look closely, you can still see that the area below is full of flowing black water.
"Damn! We were all wrong! ”
"It turns out that this is what dyeing black!!
The candidates who had fallen into the black water had obviously been eliminated, but at the moment when the ground of the platform collapsed, there were still many people who reacted.
"Uhh
Li Hong and the others also lost their balance in an instant, and when they saw the black water below, they reacted to what the examiner said, and the five of them all fell vertically like falling rocks.
"Ahh
At that time, Zhou Mengyao only felt that the suspended body was out of balance, not only frightened, but also a sense of despair for fear of death hit her heart, at this time, people will instinctively reject everything around them and struggle as hard as possible!
"Meng Yao!"
Suddenly, a thick and solid hand held himself in a panic, struggled slightly, and looked sideways, it was actually Wu Ye!
Also in the falling air, Wu Ye's expression was unusually calm, while holding his hand, Zhou Mengyao felt a kind of warmth and peace of mind, at this time, she also suddenly realized that this was the first time Wu Ye called her name, and her cheeks couldn't help but blush slightly.
The wind in his ears became faster and faster, like a sharp blade cutting his face and body, anyone who suddenly fell into this pitch-black abyss, the instinctive reaction would be to close his eyes first, but as a martial arts practitioner's tempered nerves and commitment to protect Zhou Mengyao's determination, he was unusually calm, no surprise, no fear, no panic, and there was only a tenacious and restrained determination in his eyes.
"Hold on to my hand!" Wu Ye's erratic voice in the air came to Zhou Mengyao's ears, she nodded vigorously, and the strength of holding his hand increased.
"Ancient Martial Arts - Qi!"
Wu Ye said in a deep voice, and his other hand condensed the martial fighting qi out of thin air, and suddenly struck out directly below.
"Poof!"
It was a muffled sound of confrontation and rejection between air and air, and with the recoil of this impact, Wu Ye and Zhou Mengyao actually rushed out directly in one go.
From light to darkness and then to light, everything that happened in a short period of time made Zhou Mengyao frightened, and after a little respite, she had already returned to the ground to find that Wu Ye had disappeared, and the words he had left when he had just left echoed in her ears.
"Don't move around here, I'll pick up Brother Li and them!"
Wu Ye came to the entrance of the underground cave, leaned over and shouted below:
"Hey, Brother Li! Are you all right? ”
I saw Xiaochuan carrying Luo Xiaokui on his back, grabbing the rock wall with one hand, pulling Li Hong with the other, and shouting calmly:
"We're fine! Find a way to send the lady up! ”
Li Hong looked at the pool of black water below, breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Xiaochuan with a smile: "Huh, it's so dangerous just now, thanks to you, Brother Xiaochuan, the young man has good arm strength!" ”
"Less...... Stop talking nonsense, tell your buddies to pull us up! Xiao Chuan's head was covered with beads of sweat, barely supporting it, although Luo Xiaokui was very light like cotton wool, but in this case, clamping the rock wall with one hand and pulling Li Hong with the other, even if he was professionally trained by special forces, he couldn't support it for long!
"Oh, good, good!" Li Hong laughed awkwardly a few times, and hurriedly shouted towards the entrance of the cave:
"Hey, Wu Ye, find a way to find a rope to drag us up!"
"Oh good! I'll find it right away! ”
……
A moment later.
"Whew! It's finally up...... It really scared the hell out of me just now! Li Hong reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief and patted her little heart.
"Miss, are you alright?" Ogawa stretched his numb limbs a little and asked with concern.
"No, hehe, Xiaochuan is protecting Aoi very carefully, thank you~" Luo Xiaokui said with a smile as if nothing had happened, making everyone else gasp.
"It turns out that if you dye black, you will be eliminated by that, no wonder ......," Xiao Chuan couldn't help but say, recalling the inky black river below just now.
"Yes, there is no right answer to that question, everything is just a trick." Wu Ye put his gaze back on the big screen, "Because the prerequisites don't say which of the villagers in the puzzle is a lying village or an honest villager, that is to say, which one you choose can be right or wrong, in the end, it's just a non-issue." The examiner said that those who answer incorrectly are people who are blackened all over, that is, as long as you are not blackened, you are safe. ”
"Right! Not bad! You have passed the first round of assessments! ”
