The final test is about to begin, and I will not break my promise until you solve this last mystery, and each and every one of you will be able to get out of here safely. Murong Feng said.

"If you really talk and count, hurry up and open the third mystery, we want to see what is so powerful about your third mystery!" Cui Li said unconvinced.

"Hah! Ha! Hah!" Murong Feng didn't pay attention to Cui Li, but laughed a few times alone, and then disappeared from our sight.

"Xia Cheng, this Murong Feng still hasn't said anything after a long time!" Zhao Yuyu said.

"Don't worry, let's see if anything has changed here. Everything has to be considered in the long run. "Xia Cheng is very calm.

"It's a long-term plan, but it's early in the morning, I'm sleepy, but I'm still going around in this maze without direction." Cui Li was already very impatient.

Cui Li didn't say that I didn't pay attention, I looked at my watch, it was already so late, I didn't expect that we had been in this maze all day. But I still haven't been able to get out of here, and I can't help but feel a little guilty when I think of this, after all, it was I who came up with this idea, and everyone was trapped here with me.

"What! It's so late!! I haven't put on a mask yet! Zhao Yuyu said in horror.

"I said, we can't get out anymore, and you're still in the mood to care about your mask." Cui Li said disdainfully.

Cui Li and Zhao Yuyu fought on the side again, and the difficulties in front of us are still very great.

"I said you two don't fight over there, when is it, we don't know what the last mystery Murong Feng said is." Lin Yun motioned to Cui Li and Zhao Haoyu to stop arguing over trivial matters.

"I don't have time to argue with her about anything here, but you say that this Murong Feng is true, saying that we are ready to accept the last challenge, but after talking for a long time, I haven't said what the exact mystery is, and we have nothing else to do except wait here stupidly." Cui Li complained.

"You're right, and we don't know when this last mystery will come before us." As soon as I finished speaking, we suddenly felt a slight vibration, and some parts of the ground were constantly making noises.

"This ...... What's going on? Is this building going to collapse? Cui Li watched all this in horror.

"How is it possible, this building has not been built for a long time, and it will collapse so easily." Zhao Yuyu retorted, but her face still showed a look of horror similar to Cui Li's.

Just as Cui Li and the others were talking, the door to the hall suddenly closed tightly, and our only entrance was closed.

"How...... Why is the door closed? Murong Feng, you come out! Cui Li shouted loudly in horror.

However, there was no answer, and Murong Feng seemed to have disappeared. But just when we were panicking, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded.

"Attention, attention, the ultimate mystery is about to start, repeat, the ultimate mystery is about to start, please move everyone to the safe zone......" The mechanical voice kept repeating these two words, but where was the safe zone?

I looked around and there was nothing special, nothing marked, we didn't know where the safe zone was.

"What to do? Who knows where the safe zone is? ”

"I don't know! But listening to the sirens seemed to be dangerous at any time. ”

"Please note, please note that the system is about to start, please move everyone to a safe area, 30, 29, 28 ......" The system voice suddenly began to enter the countdown.

This beginning countdown made us people confused about the direction and hurriedly went around.

"It's too late! What happens if we don't get to a safe zone? Zhao Yuyu asked in horror.

"Who knows! However, in terms of Murong Feng's character, there must be nothing good. ”

Xia Cheng looked around, obviously a panicked look didn't appear on his face, he calmly looked at every corner of the hall. I couldn't help but admire him, he was able to maintain such a cool head and sharp judgment in such a flustered situation.

The "16, 15, 14......" system continues to count down, which means that we only have a dozen seconds to find the so-called safe zone.

Cui Li ran around anxiously, but he didn't find anything useful, and the countdown continued: "10, 9, 8......"

The situation is getting more and more tense and we are almost racing against the clock.

"Xia Cheng, do you have any good ideas? If this continues, all of us will die. Zhao's words were not alarmist.

“5，4……”

Time is getting tighter.

Suddenly, Xia Cheng yelled: "Everyone hurry up to the table, hurry!" ”

We didn't have time to tell if Xia Cheng's instructions were correct or not, everyone rushed towards the table, and when everyone came to the table, the countdown of the system's voice was just over.

The entire hall was covered with blue light, except for the table we were on.

"What is this?" Cui Li curiously wanted to reach out to check the blue light, but was stopped by Xia Cheng shouting: "Cui Li, don't move, that blue light is actually light current." ”

"Light current?" Zhao Yuyu asked curiously.

"The so-called light current is to materialize the current and turn it into visible light as a medium, so if we touch it, it is as dangerous as touching a high-voltage wire."

As soon as Xia Cheng finished speaking, Cui Li hurriedly stretched out the hand he had just stretched out and said softly: "It's so dangerous, I almost lost my life." ”

"So what do we do now? Is it to find a way to get through this light and out of this labyrinth? Zhao Yuyu's idea is obviously a bit fanciful.

With the equipment we have now, it's impossible to pass through these rays of light.

Just when we were puzzled by the situation around us, suddenly the electronic voice began to say slowly: "Fellow participants in the maze, I am glad that you can avoid the danger zone, but the final mystery has also begun for you. ”

"I said, we're not any players, you let that Murong Feng come out, we're not here to compete." Cui Li shouted.

"Now I'm going to broadcast the rules that challenge the mystery." The mechanical voice didn't seem to hear what Cui Li said at all, and just broadcast it on its own.

"Cui Li, don't waste your strength, this is not artificial intelligence, it's just an ordinary electronic voice, it's all set up in advance." I motioned to Cui Li.

"First of all, the blue zone you see is filled with lethal voltage, so please don't leave the safe zone at will. Next, I'm going to open up three separate spaces where you can send any three of you to participate in this final challenge. ”

"The final challenge, only three people can participate? Does that mean that these three people are in control of everyone's destiny? That's a lot of responsibility. Cui Li said with emotion.

"These three people will accept the final mystery, the content of the test is instantaneous memory, once each person confirms that the challenge has begun, an electronic screen will appear in front of him, there will be 50 information squares on it, the so-called information square may be a number, or it may be a Chinese character, or a picture, or a poem, in short, in a variety of forms, not limited to one of them, and all you have to do is after the electronic screen disappears, Record the information squares you see in their order on another fast touchscreen. The time spent on the screen is only 60 seconds. ”

"What?! 60 seconds?! 50 information squares to remember?! It's a joke, right? We're not superhumans, memory prodigies! Cui Li had not yet listened to the challenge rules in full, and he had already doubted it.

However, the electronic voice did not answer Cui Li, but continued: "Each participant only has 3 opportunities to view the electronic screen, and if there is no record of the information on the electronic screen after 3 times, the challenge will be declared untouched. Once all three challengers fail, the final mystery will also fail. ”

"This ...... This...... This is too unreasonable, 3 chances add up to 180 seconds, to remember 50 information squares, that is to say, each information square only has more than 3 seconds to remember, and it has to be in the same order, who can complete this? I can't do it anyway. Cui Li sighed, he had already chosen to give up before he could choose the participants.

"Of course, you must find the challenge very difficult, so those who do not participate in the challenge can designate one of the three contestants at a time to add a chance to watch the electronic screen, remember that no matter how many people do not participate, this opportunity can only be given once, so please choose carefully."

"Xia Cheng, what can I do about this? It's a challenge that we can't accomplish. ”

"That's it, I see, this is what Murong Feng deliberately designed to trick us."

Almost all of them felt that there was no chance of winning the test.

"Now the blue light will open up three paths along which the three contestants can go to the designated area to take the challenge. Once the participants reach the designated area, the area opened by the blue light will also be closed. Now please select who will participate. ”

The blue light that had surrounded us began to move slowly, creating three paths that could only be walked by one person.

"Xia Cheng, who's going to go? I'm not going anyway, I'm not going to do it well, you know. Cui Li was humble at this time. Usually, he always brags about how good he is at math and how close his logical thinking is, but at this time he retreated. I used to think that he was a little more responsible, but now it is gone in an instant. But to be honest, is this test really high, 180 seconds to memorize 50 information squares in order, it doesn't sound so easy, it's even more difficult to actually do, people's memory is like fragments, it is extremely difficult to continue to remember something, and the longer the memory, the brain is prone to fatigue, and it is very likely to forget what was remembered before. Just like endorsement, it's easy to forget, which is also a shortcoming of brain memory.

"Three people? Then I'll go. Xia Cheng said.

"But...... You're still injured, how can you take the test in such a state? Lin Yun helped Xia Cheng and persuaded.

"I'd better go." I looked at Lin Yun and Xia Cheng and continued, "Since I paid the attention to rescuing Li Ruina, then I should try my best to complete this matter. ”

In this case, two more people need to participate in this test with me, I moved my eyes to Zhao Haoyu's body, Zhao Haoyu took a step back and said: "No, no, no, no, I definitely can't, maybe I can help if I play chess, I have the weakest memory ability." ”

In this way, I could only turn my eyes back to Cui Li and said: "Cui Li, it seems that there are no candidates, don't you always say that you are good at mathematics?" You can't back down when it's critical. Besides, you see that this information square has numbers and words, isn't it just in line with you, a science student who loves literature? ”

"I ...... I...... But......" Cui Li seemed to want to speculate, but he looked around and seemed to have no one else but him.

"But Cheng Yin, even if you and Cui Li go, there will still be one less person. Or I'd better go. Xia Cheng reluctantly stood up, because he was already very tired from running fast just now, and it would be difficult to take this to the test.

"I'll go." Zhang Han, who was on the side, finally spoke.

In this way, I, Cui Li and Zhang Han are exactly three people.

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?"
