Chapter 514: Chewing Demon Island (20)

The five swift shadows stepped up the slope along the stone road, and in less than a minute, they had run a distance of nearly three hundred meters to the top of the small slope.

Standing here and looking ahead, you can see a gray wasteland.

Above the wasteland, stands a set of cone-shaped spires. The spires were clustered together in a neat arrangement, like bundles of bamboo shoots tied together.

"That pile is the roof of the Temple of Faith." Feng Bujue explained, "90 percent of this building is buried underground, and we have to find an entrance to get in. He said, pointing to the front with his finger, "If you really can't find it, use force to open the gap." ”

"Well, without further ado, let's go." Honghu continued.

"When we get there, we'll split up." Uncle Waste Wood also responded.

The five of them exchanged a few words, and then moved forward again. This time they were going down the slope and rushing faster, a few hundred meters away in the blink of an eye. But when they came to the spire, they were surprised to find ...... The entrance is very easy to find. On each spire, there is a movable door (skylight) whose outline can be seen as soon as you get closer.

"Any one?" Jibu looked at his teammates with inquiring eyes.

"I don't have time to pick one by one now......" Feng Bujue said, he had already walked to the spire closest to him, and opened the movable door above, "I'll go down first, in case there are any traps, I can also dodge them with the ability to stay in the air." ”

Of course, Brother Jue won't just say it......

As he said this, he picked up a stone and threw it into the entrance.

Bang Bang –

The sound of the stone falling to the ground quickly returned, and it seemed that the space in it was not very deep.

"Oh? It doesn't seem to be the kind of design that goes through to the end......" Feng Bujue said as he took out the [Composite Anti-Gravity Catapult].

He expertly turned on the searchlight and shone it through the door. At this time, all four teammates also leaned over to him and looked in......

The five of them took advantage of the light of the catapult to see directly the walls and floor inside the building.

"What is this? Attic? Whimsical asked.

"Who knows...... "It's a good thing for us anyway, at least we don't have to worry about falling to our deaths." ”

As they spoke, Feng Bujue took half a step forward. I saw him hold it with one hand, and then jumped into the entrance.

Two seconds later, Brother Jue landed abruptly and stood firmly in the space inside the temple, and a system prompt sounded in his ears: [The current task has been completed].

At this moment, Feng Buju's first reaction was not to check the taskbar, but to sweep around with a light to search for traps and monsters.

After confirming that there was no danger around, he immediately looked up and shouted, "Get down!" ”

As soon as the shouts were heard, the four people above moved when they heard the news, and they jumped into the entrance one after another, and fell one after another.

In the end, the five people collectively touched the ground safely, and heard the system prompts one after another.

At this moment, there are forty seconds left before the mission deadline......

"Whew...... If we hadn't taken a shortcut, I'm afraid we would have been wiped out on the first main quest, right? Jibu looked at the task that had been ticked off in the game menu and said with a long sigh of relief.

"Not necessarily." Uncle Waste Chai said, "If you take a long detour...... Maybe we won't have met that rubbing hand. ”

"Oh! By the way......" Trace's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Feng Bujue and said, "Lord Feng Liao, can you explain it now...... Did you play the game against the Rubbing Hand earlier? ”

"Ah...... In fact...... It's pretty simple. Feng Bujue was still using the searchlight on the catapult to sweep around, which was really not a waste of time.

"Don't sell it." Honghu said, "The desire to show off on your face has betrayed you. ”

"Huh...... Okay, okay......" Feng Bujue replied with a smile, "but I'd better start from the beginning......"

In the next few minutes, Brother Jue told him one by one about his glorious deeds such as breaking into the swamp alone, fighting Fuling, heroically saving "beauty", and obtaining intelligence in anger......

In short, after this description, I finally talked about the part where he and the rubbing hand guessed the boxing......

"After talking to that stupid [beep-] for three or five sentences, I saw through it." Feng Bujue began to explain in a loud tone and strong wording (expletives), "First of all, the guessing project itself is very suspicious...... This is not a game of chess, which is won purely by skill; It's not a card chess, where luck and skill are equally important...... This is his meow's guessing box! The name itself has the word 'guess'! Luck definitely accounts for more than 70%, right? He turned around and paced a few steps, "The opponent proposed to use the rules of the best-of-five system to guess the boxing competition in the case of one against four...... The act itself is like saying, 'I have a special skill in guessing.'" ”

"Alas...... That's what I thought about. Honghu sighed, "It's a pity...... At the time, I always thought it would make a fuss about rules or tactics, but I didn't expect ...... It relies on some hidden ability. ”

"I thought so at first, but to be on the safe side, I asked the rubbing hand a question." Feng Bujue continued, "I asked it...... 'Did the four of them compete with you one by one?' He smiled, "And it, triumphantly admitted...... From that moment on, I was sure that the rubbing hand must be cheating with some kind of 'ability'. ”

"Huh?" When the trace department heard this, his mind was a little unable to keep up, "Hey, hey...... The span between the question and the conclusion is too big......"

"Hmm...... I can understand what he means. Uncle Waste Chai continued, "The steps of the madman's reasoning should be like this...... Since the four of us are fighting one by one, the order of appearance is naturally first. If nothing else, the analytical Honghu will definitely be scheduled to appear last. And with Honghu's resourcefulness, after watching three full duels, there is no reason why he can't see through the trick of rubbing's hand, unless ......"

Honghu took over and said, "Unless the other party doesn't rely on rules or tactical means to win at all." ”

The trace department also understood at this time, and continued: "So...... The conclusion is that the rubbing hand has some kind of ability that can win when guessing the box? ”

"Hahaha......" Feng Bujue clapped his hands, "Very good, the so-called three stinkers, Zhuge Liang." ”

"You're a little stinky......" Honghu replied.

"Yes, yes, I really can't compare with the prime minister's morality." Feng Bujue Yan nodded.

The implication...... Can you compare yourself in terms of wisdom? The corners of his mouth twitched.

Brother Jue ignored the other party's complaints, brought the topic back on track, and continued: "In short, since it has been confirmed that the rubbing hand uses the 'ability' to guess the fist, then the matter will be easy to do. Because I also have the ability to predict the other person's actions in an instant. ”

What Feng Bujue said at this time is, of course, his "zero time difference calculus".

"Actually, what I really care about is not the guessing boxing itself...... It's the setting of 'guessing the boxing field'. Feng Bujue said, "You've all noticed it too, right?" In that field, our combat capabilities were greatly suppressed, and it became almost indistinguishable from ordinary people. ”

"yes." "Otherwise, I would have killed that big hand with the Meteor Fist, and guess what kind of punch." ”

"Yes, that field is the most terrifying." Feng Bujue said, "This demon island can be described as a strong hand, as a guard, naturally you have to have the means to suppress those prisoners." Obviously...... Relying on the strength of the rubbing hand itself is far from enough. If I'm not mistaken, the four guards, including the Rubbing Hand, are not using their own powers, but some kind of special ability that has been 'given'. He paused, his eyes changing slightly, "After the previous test...... I'm completely sure of this assumption. ”

"Testing? What test? Traces asked.

Feng Bujue replied in a natural tone: "It's the final duel between me and the hand of rubbing." ”

As soon as these words came out, Honghu, who was standing next to him, gasped......

Only those who follow Brother Jue's train of thought closely can realize how terrible this guy is......

Ten minutes ago, when everyone thought that Feng Bujue's behavior of "rushing to kill everything" was an intermittent secondary attack, he himself knew it very well...... It was just a crazy show. Behind this show, there are still rational judgments and reasonable actions.

"Judging from the results, the 'absolute rules' in the field of guessing boxing are something that the hand of rubbing cannot resist." Feng Bujue continued, "This proves that this field is not its own power. ”

"Oh...... No wonder the hand of rubbing behaved so strangely at the end. "It turns out that it knows that it is lost, but it is unable to terminate the game, so it is like that." ”

"Well, that's right......," Feng Bujue continued, "As far as I've observed, there are four absolute rules in the realm of guessing boxing. He raised his right hand, stretched out four fingers, and said, "First, no one can leave the field until the winner is decided; Second, the field will only be dissolved if the winner of the previous game agrees to terminate the competition; Third, by the challenged...... That is, we ...... to decide when each round starts; Fourth, the punishment and reward of the winner and the loser can be negotiated in advance, and the punishment is tacit...... It is to be stretched to the ground and become a silhouette. ”

Brother Jue put down his hand when he said this: "The above four are absolute rules that are relatively fair and cannot be disobeyed even by the hand of rubbing. Of course, as the initiator of the field of guessing, there are indeed some special rules that are more beneficial to it, such as...... Once in the field, the challenger's combat strength is limited, forcing him to participate in the guess. ”

"I still don't get it." Tianwu suddenly interjected, "After talking for a long time, how did you win him?" His eyes widened and he asked, "If he can predict what you will do, and you can predict what he will do, then the conditions will be the same, won't the conditions be the same?" ”

"That's right......," said the trace, "that's the core problem, isn't it?" ”

"Huh?" Feng replied weakly, "What...... That's the easy part. He tilted his head and said, "After my temptation, the ability of the rubbing hand is nothing more than ...... In the moment before you throw a punch, get an insight into what's going on in your head. He snorted coldly, "Hmph...... Theoretically, there are at least three ways to win it, and I've used two of them in previous games. ”

"Just kidding...... Uncle Waste Chai picked up his sunglasses and read with a look of surprise.

"Let's start with the one with the lowest success rate." Feng Bujue answered unhurriedly, "That's it...... At the moment of guessing the fist, he didn't think about anything, his mind remained blank, and he instinctively threw out a gesture. ”

"Cut~ What do I think you're going to say? What does that count? Traces replied.

"In fact, it's very difficult." Feng Bujue said, "If you don't believe it, you can try...... Most people will throw out their hands like chicken paws, and then they will be counted as cloth. ”

"Hmm...... Using this method, it is indeed possible to seal the ability of the rubbing hand. "However, it is almost impossible to make a 'scissor' out of an instinctive gesture, which is an obvious weakness. ”

"That's right, at most two rounds, the opponent will see through this loophole, and then keep coming out with 'cloth' to deal with it." Feng Bujue said, "Besides, even if the first two games are ...... It's also pure luck. So...... I didn't use this method. ”

Brother Jue paused for a few seconds, licked his lips, and then said, "Then...... As for the second method, there is not much to say about this one. That is, I use my ability to fight against the other party's ability. He scratched his head, "I won't explain my abilities in detail, you just need to know that my methods are countless times superior to the rubbing hand......"

What he said was the truth, the ability of the rubbing hand was only to be able to see the thoughts that flashed in the opponent's mind in the moment before guessing the fist; And the zero-time difference calculus can calculate a qiē......

"Alas...... I have to say that its ability is too slow, its reaction is too slow, and its movements are even slower than still......" Feng Bujue sighed, "So...... In the first few rounds alone, I relied on my own ability to win the rubbing, and in the process analyzed what the opponent's ability was. ”

"Alright, don't get complacent there." Honghu said, "What about the third method? That has nothing to do with your abilities, right? ”

"Of course, this is not a one-player script, how could the system design a guard that only I can solve?" Feng Bujue smiled and continued, "There is indeed another method, which has nothing to do with any ability, everyone can use it to defeat the hand of rubbing, and that is ......"

The four people who were listening were all curious.

"Cognitive distortions." Feng Bujue said a strange word.

"What's that?" The whimsical face is full of "unclear and powerful".

"Just like this......" Feng Bujue said, clenching his fists and raising his hands, "Stone! When he said this, he shook his hand, but his gesture was scissors.

"Uh...... "Trace looked at it for two seconds, "can this really work?" Isn't that self-deception? ”

"If you deceive yourself, you will fail...... Because you're still thinking about scissors. "And cognitive distortion is different, what I think of in my head is rock, but what I make in my hand is scissors." This technique requires a short period of time to overturn the beliefs that have been ingrained in one's own mind, and it is not so much 'deception' as 'believing', which is indeed a bit complicated to explain...... However, if you are skilled, you can ...... like this," he said, raising his hand again, "Rock, paper, paper, rock, paper, paper......, paper," he said at high speed, and his hand changed, but the gesture he made was different from the shape of the hand he uttered. When he reads the rock, he makes scissors in his hands, and when he reads the scissors, he makes paper, and when he reads the paper, he makes stone......

"This is also so that everyone can use it?" Jibu complained, "Obviously only you can use it, right?" ”

"No, you can too, it just takes time." Feng Bujue spread his hands, "Actually, the system has already given us this time...... Don't forget, it's up to the player to decide how long each round is intervald. He paused for a moment and then said, "Taking a step back, it doesn't matter if you really don't practice well, because the basic behavior pattern of the rubbing hand remains the same, as long as you think about it at the moment of punching, it will definitely make corresponding gestures to suppress you." So...... You just have to control your time and try not to make mistakes, and you can win. ”

At this point, Feng Bujue can be regarded as almost explained.

The system prompt seemed to be waiting for them to finish talking, and it didn't ring until this moment: [Main quest has been updated]

In the quest bar, a new main story has appeared: [Reach the altar at the bottom of the Temple of Faith within three hours, players who do not arrive within the time limit will be obliterated] RS
