All the candidates for the test have been decided, and the next three of us will go to take on this difficult challenge.

"Thousands of years have passed, and I have never forgotten each other's vows..."

"The years have passed in a hurry, but you are still looking at me, and you have not forgotten our tomorrow..."

"When I remember, when you forget. The memory of this fate. ”

"I still remember our vows, memories that will never be forgotten."

"Standing quietly in the place where you have forgotten, watching the seasons change, I am thinking about you again at this time."

……………

Murong Feng actually appeared in front of us again, he looked at us and said, "It seems that you have already decided who to attend. ”

"Murong Feng, you finally came out, what kind of mystery did you design, there is no way to solve it!" Cui Li couldn't hold back his anger.

"It's up to you, and there's nothing I can do." Murong Feng said: "By the way, don't you always say that you are a member of some kind of research group, and you want to be united?"

"What solidarity? You're clearly taking on the challenge of each of us separately now, and you're still saying it so nicely. Cui Li retorted.

"I don't want to argue with you about anything, if you can hear the meaning of my words, you may be able to get through this mystery, if you just blindly correct right and wrong with me, I'm afraid you will stay here forever." Murong Feng looked at Cui Li.

"You old fellow, you designed the maze anyway, and you're right anyway. If you have the ability to show your true body, I will design a maze to see that you can't get by. Cui Li was obviously angry, and the maze he designed was estimated to be accessible even to a three-year-old child.

"Forget Cui Li, it's useless to talk more, let's participate in the challenge and leave this maze as soon as possible." I walked to one of the entrances.

"I'll just say that you are still smart, I want to see this time, you can solve the mystery of the team spirit you said, if you can't solve it, it means that my proposition is right, the team is used to sacrifice, only in this way can the whole team move forward, you haven't been able to understand this truth until now, and the old guy Ouyang Yu's temper is the same, always full of team help, I think it's useless." If you have the ability, you will prove to me that what you say is really useful. Murong Feng said disdainfully.

Only then did I notice that the maze designed by Murong Feng and Mr. Ouyang Yu seemed to be full of mysteries, but in fact they were completely different, most of the mazes designed by Murong Feng were to split the team of people and challenge them separately, while the strange array designed by Mr. Ouyang Yu always had to gather everyone in the end to make suggestions and solve the mystery. Therefore, Ouyang Yu and Murong Feng, the two old gentlemen, have fundamentally different starting points. Murong Feng hoped that everyone would not be able to solve his labyrinth and thus be impressed by his talent, while Old Mr. Ouyang Yu was looking for someone who could really unlock his strange array.

"Cui Li, Zhang Han, let's go."

The three of us chose three different entrances and walked forward, and when we each walked in, the entrance was covered in blue light. That way, I couldn't see anyone else but myself.

As I walked on, the passage opened by the blue light was very narrow, and I walked very carefully, afraid of touching the current of light next to me. After taking a few steps, a large area of space suddenly appeared in front of me, but there was nothing, let alone the electronic screen mentioned in the electronic voice earlier.

I walked forward to the center of the area, and at that moment the ground at my feet suddenly began to open, and a table slowly rose from it, and on top of the table were two brand new electronic LCD screens, one of which was the electronic screen for testing, and the other was the touch screen for recording, but there were no images on it at the moment.

"If you are participating, please move to the designated area. Repeat, please move to the designated area...... "I see a blue light shining in my footsteps, this must be the so-called designated area." Thinking of this, I stood on top of the light, and suddenly two electronic screens started at the same time.

It seems that I am going quite smoothly here, I don't know how Cui Li and Zhang Han are going there.

I tried pressing a few clicks on the screen, but nothing worked, and apparently the test hadn't started yet.

"Please familiarize yourself with the surrounding environment, there will be an electronic screen of information blocks in front of you, and the touch screen on your right side is used to record information blocks, but one thing must be reminded that when the electronic screen displays the content of the information block, the touch screen will not be able to operate, that is to say, you cannot observe the electronic screen while operating the touch screen, and once the system finds that you are using any paper, pen or other tools to record information blocks, it will be regarded as a failure."

In this case, we can only rely on our own memory, and we cannot get any other aids. I didn't expect this test to be quite rigorous, so I put the backpack behind me on the ground, ready to take this test with all my might.

Just when I was wondering how to start the test, the system voice rang again: "If you feel that you can accept the test, please press the button on the left front, once the button is pressed on the electronic screen, the content of the information box will immediately appear, and at the same time, the 60-second countdown is about to start, after the countdown is over, the electronic screen will be turned off immediately, and the touch screen will be turned on, you can have enough time to record each recorded information on this touch screen, Once the three chances are exhausted, the test is coming to an end, so I wish you luck. Of course, you will not be able to leave here, forever. ”

The sound of the electronic voice became a little terrifying, but that didn't stop me from leaving here, and I tried to be quiet and carefully comb through the information I'd gotten so far, and the three chances of testing must not be used blindly.

Now I have a total of 180 seconds to memorize 50 information squares, this 180 seconds of time to remember 50 information squares in order, it doesn't sound so easy, it is even more difficult to actually do, people's memory is like fragments, it is extremely difficult to remember some things continuously, and the longer the memory time, the brain is easy to get tired, and it is very likely to forget what was remembered. And every time I look at the information square, I can write down what I remember on the touch screen on my right, but there is a problem, the touch screen will automatically turn off every time the electronic screen is turned on, so will the content I recorded disappear? I don't know that.

But fortunately, as the system said before, the information on the square on the electronic screen is unchanged every time I watch, so I only need to memorize about 17 information squares at a time in order to complete this challenge. I have to memorize 17 contents in 60 seconds, and if it's just some simple numbers and Chinese characters, it shouldn't be too difficult, and I feel a little confident when I think of this, but I don't know what the specific content is yet, and I can't take it lightly.

I put my hand on the button to prepare for the first observation, and just as I was about to press the button, I suddenly heard a familiar voice: "Holy! It's not a joke, is it?! That's too hard, isn't it?! The person who spoke was none other than Cui Li.

Wait a minute, I can't see anyone but I can hear their voices, could it be that Murong Feng made a mistake when designing the labyrinth? He is not aware of this?

But I can't care so much, since I can hear Cui Li's voice, then Cui Li must also be able to hear my voice, judging from his reaction, he should have started the test. I might as well ask him what he saw, so that I could have a better idea of what I was seeing.

"Cui Li, I'm Cheng Yin, can you hear my voice?"

"Cheng Yin? Where are you? I can hear you, what's going on over there? Cui Li also asked in surprise. Apparently he wondered why he could hear me.

"Cui Li, I don't have time to say anything else now, tell me what you see? In what form is the content presented on the information cube revealed? This is very important to me. ”

"I said Cheng Yin, you will definitely collapse, where is this information cube, each square is a puzzle, let alone memory, I even have to take a while to calculate."

"Calculations?"

I don't understand what Cui Li is talking about, isn't it a number that is presented on the information square?

"Yes, there is a square that says something like this: 3 to the 2nd power - 5 to the 3rd power * 2 to the 2nd power - 1 = how much?" Cui Li said bitterly.

This is beyond my expectations, originally I thought there would be just some complex numbers, but I didn't expect it to be an arithmetic problem, although the arithmetic problem itself is not very difficult, but it will consume a certain amount of time to calculate the answer, let alone calculate the answer to write down the whole calculation problem, it is a great test for the brain. Just imagine, it's not twice as hard to memorize 50 numbers and 50 math problems as hard as ever.

"What's even more exaggerated, there's a message box that reads: Last night the west wind withered the tree, what is the fifth word in the next sentence? What exactly is and what is this? "Cui Li has obviously collapsed.

Cui Li's sentence once again reminded me that the content in the information cube is ever-changing, and the form is eclectic, although each question is not very difficult, but it is very difficult to get the correct answer in each information square in a short period of time, and record it accurately in a certain order.

"Cui Li, what else did you see?" I pressed on.

Every word Cui Li says is important to me.

"And ......" When Cui Li was about to say something, I suddenly heard a voice similar to a countdown, "Cheng Yin, there's no time, there's no time, damn!" I still don't remember anything, how time flies so quickly! Cui Li complained.

It seems that Cui Li's first observation of the world has been completely exhausted.

"Cui Li, don't use the second chance to observe yet, since we can hear each other's voices, then we can tell each of us what we have got, it will help each of us." I said.

"Cheng Yin is right." Suddenly, I heard Xia Cheng's voice, which meant that we could hear everyone in this hall, but we couldn't see it.

I suddenly realized that this setting was not caused by Murong Feng's mistakes, but that this mystery was originally set up like this.

I remembered what Murong Feng said before, that is, although this mystery separates everyone who participated in the test, we can still solve this mystery together through everyone's efforts.

"Xia Cheng, can you clearly hear my and Cui Li's voices?" I confirmed.

"That's right, we can all hear what you said before very clearly, not only me, but also Lin Yun and Zhao Yuyu." Xia Cheng said.

This point is simply too important for us, we can tell everyone the information we observe every time, so that everyone can participate in this test and make suggestions, for example: Zhao Yuyu is good at mathematics, then the math problem that Cui Li encountered before is easy to solve, and on the contrary, Lin Yun is good at literature, so those ancient poetry topics are naturally not a problem for her.

"Listen to me, the test rule here is that the person who is testing cannot record it when the electronic screen is started through any tool, but it does not say that people who have not participated in the test can't." I said.

"What you mean is that you can look at the information cubes and say what they say, and we can solve the puzzles and record them in exactly the order, so that the 50 information cubes will not be difficult. You just need to say it as fast as you can. Lin Yun said happily.

"Cheng Yin, you are really amazing, you have discovered the solution to this mystery so quickly, admire and admire." Cui Li said politely.

It may seem like we've found a way to solve this mystery, but it's all too easy, isn't it? The labyrinth designed by Murong Feng is so complicated, and the mystery in it is so difficult, so why is this last mystery so easy, this is too incredible, right? I was lost in thought again. I don't know if we're really going to solve this last mystery so easily.
