Chapter 372: Hints of the Magic Mirror

The little girl had that dull look from beginning to end, as if answering mechanically, and Feng Yan noticed that she was swaying the swing with the same amplitude and frequency.

Feng Yan: "Do you know that pregnant woman over there?" ”

Little girl: "Yes." ”

Feng Yan: "Who are you?" ”

The little girl pondered for a moment: "I don't know. ”

After saying this, Feng Yan was very puzzled, and he asked in an accentuated tone: "You know her, don't you know who she is?" ”

The little girl pondered again for a moment: "I don't know. ”

"Do you know anything about mirrors or ghosts?"

The little girl was silent.

Feng Yan didn't ask the little girl again, he was thoughtful, but he didn't have a clear idea, he thought that the old lady and the pregnant woman must also have hints.

Feng Yan came to the old lady's side, the old lady also stood mechanically on the waist twister and twisted her waist, Feng Yan said, "Auntie, what about twisting your waist?" ”

Old lady: "No, I'm waiting to die." ”

Although the old lady said these words with an expressionless face, Feng Yan still heard a thick ridicule, this answer is nothing more than mocking Feng Yan, you obviously know what your aunt is doing, and ask, is it sick?

Feng Yan continued to point to the little girl swinging and said, "Is that little girl your granddaughter?" Or...... Do you know her? ”

The old lady immediately said, "Yes, she is my granddaughter." ”

Feng Yan sighed: "What's your granddaughter's name?" ”

The old lady pondered for a moment: "I don't know. ”

"Do you know that pregnant woman over there?"

Feng Yan turned to ask about the relationship between the pregnant woman and the old lady.

"Acquaintance."

Feng Yan smiled and said, "Then if I guessed correctly, you must not know her name either?" ”

The old lady said, "I don't know. ”

After hearing this, Feng Yan left, and unexpectedly did not go to find the last NPC, that is, the pregnant woman, but walked directly towards the faucet.

"The only thing that can be related to the mirror is probably the faucet."

Feng Yan muttered to himself as he walked.

But on the side of the direct drinking water source, there are a total of three faucets, Feng Yan noticed that there are plugs on the three pools, and after comparing them, he decisively stuffed the three plugs into the holes in the pool, and then turned on all three faucets.

After a while, half of the three pools were filled with water, and then an abrupt scene appeared.

In the reflection of the middle pool, a black man in a suit and leather collar appeared, this black man showed his white teeth, smiled at Feng Yan and said, "My friend, is there something calling for me?" ”

Feng Yan was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Are you...... Magic Mirror? ”

The black man thought for 1 second, and then said slightly, "It's okay to call me that." ”

This NPC Feng Yan is quite interested, and from his answer, it can be felt that this guy is not an NPC deliberately set by the system at this moment, and it is likely that it will also appear in the future plot, and if the set is close, it may be able to set out the key information.

But again, Feng Yan's time was very tight, so he had to get to the point as soon as possible.

"I want to find out which of those three women is a ghost."

After listening to this, the magic mirror pulled up the muscles on the left side of his face, and said with a deep smile: "I can't answer you directly to this question, but I can give you a hint, but if you want to get this hint, you need to answer me a question." ”

Feng Yan: "Ask." ”

Magic Mirror: "You just asked the little girl and the old lady, which of them do you think is lying?" ”

Feng Yan tapped his temple and gave an unexpected answer: "Neither of them is lying. ”

The magic mirror was not surprised, but hugged his arm, touched his chin with his right hand and said with interest: "Do you have a basis?" ”

Feng Yan turned around and pointed at the little girl and said, "I started asking from this little girl, at first, her answer confused me, I felt that the logic was very confusing, I tried to apply a paradox, but to no avail." Then when I asked the old lady, it was not until I was almost done that I realized that neither the old lady nor the little girl was logically confused, nor was there a paradox, but that the two of them answered my question with completely opposite answers. ”

The magic mirror's eyes began to glow and said, "The opposite answer? ”

Feng Yan nodded: "That's right, I asked the little girl's age and whether she was here alone, and her answer made me very puzzled, she actually replied that she was 70 years old, saying that she was here alone, and that the old lady was her grandmother."

The answer about her age was grossly counterintuitive, and the answer about whether she was here or not was inconsistent.

As for me, I like to hear answers that are seriously counterintuitive, because such answers are usually not too difficult to guess.

Then I asked her about the identity of the pregnant woman, and this time I changed the way I asked the question, and I changed the guided inquiry to an optional one, and guess what, the little girl actually thought about it for a while, and when she admitted that she knew the pregnant woman, she replied that she didn't know who the pregnant woman was.

Think about it, when a person has what kind of answers, there will be a situation where the guided inquiry cannot be understood, and the selective inquiry cannot be answered?

I took note of the little girl's answer, thought about it with the question, and then came to the old lady.

In the case of the old lady, I again used the selective question, and the same old lady's answers coincided with the little girl's.

That's when I thought of the only hint the female ghost gave me: a mirror.

Mirrors are often used as metaphors for another world, reflection, refraction, etc., but of course, there is another important metaphor for the opposite.

Bringing this thinking into the little girl's answer, it is not difficult to deduce that all the questions answered by the little girl and the old lady are actually true. ”

After a pause, Fengyan continued: "The little girl said that she was 70 years old, but in fact she was saying that she was 07 years old, and that she was here alone, in fact, she was not here alone. Note that she is not alone here, but only that she is not alone in the park. Isn't there an old lady and a pregnant woman, but it doesn't mean that the old lady and the pregnant woman have anything to do with her.

This verifies the opposite conclusion that she said that the old lady is her grandmother, in fact, the old lady is not her grandmother, in her vision, she is just a passerby.

The answer 'she is alone' and the answer 'the old lady is her grandmother' become affirmative in the case of double negation, and the affirmation becomes illogical, and these logics can only be clarified by concluding all these answers into opposite answers.

Then the old lady's inquiries were actually to verify the conclusions I got from the little girl, and I didn't ask about the last pregnant woman, and I didn't need to ask, because her answer must be the same as the little girl and the old lady, they will only answer the topic of the connection between the three people, and will not answer other topics.

And through the hint of the mirror, I not only extracted the opposite hint, but also thought of the hint of the reflection of the water surface, this place is very empty, and the props of the scene are extremely simple, since I can't get any effective information in the NPC, of course I have to come to the pool, create a reflection of the water surface, and find some hints. ”

After listening to the magic mirror, he clapped his hands with satisfaction and said, "Very wonderful inference, okay, please listen to the hint I gave you." ”
