Text Chapter 142 The Next Victim

It was dark in the carriage, but the tone of the passengers' conversation was much softer, and now they could not see anything, so they could only sit in their seats and talk.

"Really... Really got it right by this guy. "How could this be the answer?"

From their tones, it is not difficult to guess that their expressions must be very surprised at this time.

I was standing in the center of the carriage, exhaling a breath of cold air, fumbling behind me and finding a seat to sit down.

I thought I would pass through the tunnel quietly, but after a while, I suddenly heard a "click, click..." sound from the thick shadows, and I was curious and pricked up my ears.

Only the sound of fine bites accompanied by the sound of dripping water is heard, giving the feeling of juice splashing, and it sounds like the sound of chewing tomatoes.

Could it be that someone is eating?

But how can anyone have such leisure in this critical situation?

The more I thought about it, the more strange I felt, and I thought it would be better to figure it out, so I opened my backpack and looked for the flashlight again, but I still didn't find any results after rummaging for a long time, and I guessed that it was probably in the bedroom when I was leaving.

In desperation, I had to sit silently in my chair and look around vigilantly.

After a while, the train left the cave, and everything in front of me became clear and bright.

The fear brought by the darkness is banished, and the long-lost light makes the body and mind feel extremely relaxed. Each passenger breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Oh, I actually answered correctly..."The uncle had not recovered from the shock, he looked at me in surprise and joy: "How did you come up with it?"

The rest of the passengers also turned their eyes to me, and although there was a hint of gratitude in their eyes, they were more confused.

The three strong men with sticks looked embarrassed, and their faces were blue and white.

I found the middle-aged man standing in the middle of the room, who had been injured in the wrist by me.

Seeing his fierce appearance, the corners of my mouth couldn't help but hook up a sneer. This guy really doesn't have a long memory, and he must have wanted to take revenge on me just now, and if the questioner didn't announce the answer at the time, he might have slapped me in the head.

However, there was not the slightest apology on the faces of the three people at this time.

The middle-aged man twisted his face to the side and muttered, "This guy... Meng can also be right. ”

"What the hell, what the hellβ€”" The other two people threw away their sticks, wiped their noses, and walked back to their seats.

The aunt on the right looked at me gratefully: "Oh, it's still a young man who is smart, Auntie blames you, don't be upset in your heart, thanks to you for saving our lives this time!"

"He just happened to be right, don't be fooled." Sitting in the front, Professor Li snorted coldly, his eyes did not look at me, but his tone of voice was much weaker.

I didn't bother to bother with them, so I reached into my backpack and hoped to find something useful to deal with the situation that followed.

The ponytail girl next to me held her cheeks and thought for a moment, and couldn't help but ask me, "Hey, how do you know the answer?" Why did that dwarf commit suicide?"

"Needless to say, of course he guessed right!" The middle-aged man rolled his eyes and whispered.

The girl refused to believe his words, and glared at a pair of almond eyes and exclaimed, "You think everyone is like you, but someone saved your life!" I think he must have figured it out!"

"Right?" The girl turned to look at me, her cheeks slightly red, and there was a hint of admiration in her eyes.

"No, he's right." I yawned, a lazy smile on my face, "I'm really guessing, it's all up to luck." ”

"What? Probably not..."

"I didn't lie to you. After listening to his story, I just thought that the answer would definitely not be so simple, so I made up a random one, and I guessed correctly. ”

"Huh?" The girl's face was very disappointed, and she pouted her pink mouth and stopped talking.

The middle-aged man smiled proudly: "Look, I'll just say, he's really blind..."

Looking at his appearance, he wanted to laugh at me again, but when he caught a glimpse of the bruise on his wrist, he swallowed and spat, and closed his mouth when he wanted to speak.

"What nonsense!" Professor Li suddenly took over the conversation, he would definitely not let go of this opportunity to slander my prestige, and shouted confidently: "This guy is completely taking the lives of a carload of people as a child's play, and he doesn't care about other people's lives at all!"

"Hey! Why are you so shameless in the city!" The uncle clenched his fists and immediately slammed it.

"It's also a skill that people can guess correctly, maybe they saved your life! You're not a foreign professor, you can't guess right! It's useless to be bullish!"

"Shut up, rude redneck! You don't know a single word, so you have to speak here!" Professor Li's face turned red from the scolding, and although his hands were tied, he still struggled to stand up and debate.

"Alright, stop arguing!"

I waved my right hand without annoyance, "Let's all save our energy, the next cave is coming soon, you all be quiet for a while." Cherish the next minute, because I can't guarantee that I will be right every time. ”

Hearing this, the aunt sighed sadly, "Alas, my son is still waiting for me to come back... If something happens, it's really...".

The aunt didn't finish her words, but the other passengers also understood what she meant, and their excitement dimmed a lot.

I put my right hand to my forehead and thought quietly.

The reason for the dwarf to be killed is certainly not what I guessed correctly. For me, it is only after repeated reasoning that I say what I think is the correct answer.

And the reason why I told them I was right. One is too lazy to waste saliva with them, and the other is to keep them vigilant at all times.

So why did the dwarf commit suicide in this question?

First of all, it is important to note that the blind dwarf's house has a lot of wood chips, and his furniture is made of wood. Secondly, he was blind and could only discern things by touch.

Linking these two points solves the problem:

In order to win, the taller dwarf sneaks into the blind dwarf's house at night and saws all his furniture a little shorter, which is the reason for the sawdust.

When the blind dwarf wakes up, he realizes that he has grown taller (in fact, the furniture has become shorter), and he commits suicide knowing that he will be eliminated from the circus.

In this way, all the key points are brought together, and then the correct answer emerges.

If you look back and think about it, you will find that there are some loopholes in this story, but this itself is made up, and such absurd things rarely happen in real society, so there is no need to be too serious. In other words, as long as you follow the meaning of the person who made the question, you will definitely not make a mistake, which is actually the same as doing math problems.

But what else puzzles me is whether this weird and bizarre question is really a test of intelligence? I think he's exposing human nature...

"Ahh Yes! Ah......h

Just as I was immersed in my thoughts, a scream of horror from the back of the carriage scared me into jumping out of my seat.

"What's going on?"

I immediately ran behind me with an arrow.

"He's dead!" Someone died!"

The passengers behind had already risen from their seats, screaming and retreating to the side.

I glanced behind me and didn't see anything out of the ordinary. But under the seat at the end of the carriage, a pool of bright red blood flowed outward...

I was shocked. I've already answered the question correctly, but how can anyone still be killed?

I took a deep breath and took two steps forward. It wasn't until I saw the scene of the last row of seats that my face suddenly changed!

I saw the young man in black lying on the seat covered in blood, his left hand drooping to the ground, and dark red blood flowed down his fingertips to the ground. A large hole had been torn open in his jet-black sweater, and a pulp of flesh had been cut out of his chestβ€”his heart had been gouged out!

The ponytail girl next to her glanced at the corpse, covered her mouth and began to vomit.

The uncle was also frightened: "Didn't you win the game, why are there still people killed..."

A wave of anger rushed to my head, and I turned around and yelled, "You idiots, what do you think of people!?"

The aunt smacked her lips in panic and whispered, "This... We really can't be blamed for that. There were a lot of people sitting on our side, and the position was too narrow, so we put this unconscious guy in the back, and there... Isn't it more spacious? ”

The middle-aged man's face turned pale, and he said tremblingly: "When we passed through the cave, our attention was on you, who knew that this kind of thing would happen..."

"Idiot!" I scolded again, anger rising in my chest, "You just need to keep an eye on this wounded, why focus on me!" A big living person was killed in a crowd!"

I know that these guys only pay attention to me for the answers in my mouth, they don't care about other people's situations at all, they only think about their own life and death, and as a result, a fresh life is passed before my eyes.

My heart was very uncomfortable, and the appearance of the deceased was so miserable and terrible that it made people feel cold.

I remember that this guy in black was attacked by a monster before, but fortunately, he found it in time, and the monster did not succeed at that time, he was just injured and unconscious.

However, in the process of passing through the cave, he became a victim again, and his heart was brutally gouged out.

Why is this happening?! Is that madman cheating?

Looking at the mangled corpse in front of me, my stomach churned, and I forced myself to resist the nausea and leaned forward to check on the situation.

The deceased's chest was visibly sunken downward, and the internal organs inside were still hissing hot, apparently having just died. It is certain that he was attacked and killed while passing through the cave.

He was unconscious at the time, and was naturally the easiest target.

But isn't that a violation of the rules of the game?

It shouldn't be... I shook my head. That madman is a crazy game lover, and the rules are still made by himself, and he certainly won't go against his will.

So what is the reason for this?

Wait a minute! I suddenly thought of something and shivered.

The rules of the game are: if you can't answer the question, the executioner will take one of the passengers.

But I answered the question, there was still one death, then the only explanation is - this guy is not a passenger!

Thinking of this, I immediately turned my head and asked, "Who knows him?"

The crowd looked at each other suspiciously, and the middle-aged man raised his right hand hesitantly: "I... I was his co-worker. ”

I immediately asked, "Did you buy a ticket?" ”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and found that the people around him were staring at him, and said, "When... Of course I bought it, otherwise how would we take the train. ”

"You'd better not lie to me!" I stared at him with staring straight eyes and said solemnly, "If you lie, you can't afford the consequences - you will probably be the next person to be killed!"

"What are you kidding?" The middle-aged man's body trembled even more, and he said with a stiff face, "You... You think I'm a three-year-old. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen! Do you remember the rules of the game? I sighed and slowly stood up, "I can tell you clearly that only people with tickets can be defined as passengers, and if someone evades the ticket and gets on the bus, they are isolated from the game, and the monster can do whatever he wants, because this kind of person does not meet the requirements of the game - answer the question correctly to get a safe object." And that's why he was killed!"

When my words landed, the middle-aged man collapsed directly to the ground with weak legs, his face was terrified, and a pool of tears overflowed in his eyes:

"Don't! I don't want to die! I'll be honest... The two of us came up on ticket evasion! Help me!"
