Chapter 81: Retreating step by step
"Your ability, do you have to answer the correct answer, you can't lie?—— believe me, the answer is no!" Jiang Xiao's voice came from the communicator, and Deshui hurriedly turned around: "Jiang Xiao, I asked this question." He said he could ......"
"Ask! Don't talk nonsense!" Jiang Xiao roared: "And remember, in your heart, you can't believe this answer! If you believe me!"
"Okay...... Deshui turned his head honestly and asked at Ochre Yu, "Your ability, do you have to answer the correct answer, can't lie?"
“...... Be. ”
Ochre Yu's face was already pale, and he was silent for five seconds before he gritted his teeth and spit out a word.
Completely unexpected, this time, Ochre gave a completely different answer than last time!
This...... What the hell is going on?!
It's obviously the same question, why did he repeat it from Jiang Xiao's mouth, but Ochre Yu changed the answer?!
"Keep asking, don't stop, and from now on, every question, you have to follow my instructions and guess the answer to a question in your mind!"
"Zheyu, the limit of your ability, does it have to be activated with general question sentences, and not involve special question sentences?—— the answer in your heart is yes!"
“......”
This time, Ochre was silent for a longer time.
But finally, he answered the question softly: "Yes, that's right. ”
"Damn! I see! Jiang Xiao, you ...... You're a genius!"
Deshui thumped his thigh hard, and happily turned back to the communicator and yelled.
In other words, within the scope of Ochre's ability, the only sentence that can answer with "yes" or "no" will lead to the death of the person being asked because of the wrong answer or refusal to answer.
"Keep asking!"
"Zheyu, the limit of your ability, is it that before asking a question, you must make an estimate in your heart about what the other party will say, the true answer! If the result does not match the estimate, it will be the questioner who will die?
“...... Yes. ”
Ochre's face was already as gray as a tree.
......
"!"
Jiang Xiao, who was sitting in the submersible, was so excited that his face was red, but his forehead was also full of beads of sweat.
Although the gamble is worth the water, how can he not be nervous?
If there is the slightest omission, the water will be like a mess, or ...... Just like the Li Qin that Jiang Xiao had seen, his heart burst and died.
From the beginning when Li Qin found him, Jiang Xiao had always suspected in his heart that it might be under the instruction of Zheyu.
And Li Qin's death made Jiang Xiao's heart full of doubts.
As he had said to Xin Yun before, if the person who had been listening could kill Li Qin as he wanted, then why not just kill Jiang Xiao as well...... Or just ask that question?
This matter has always been like a haze, hovering in Jiang Xiao's mind, lingering.
And today, together with everything that happened on the Poseidon, we can finally confirm each other!
In Jiang Xiao's heart, he was already ninety percent sure. Whether it is the ability of ochre, or the ...... How should he be put to death!
"Listen, get water, from now on, whatever question he asks, you answer honestly. I've already judged what he's capable of, so there's no need to worry! As long as you do what I say honestly, he won't be able to kill you!"
"Good!" replied confidently and loudly.
And ochre jade is already dead, and there is no longer the relaxed smile on his original face.
Although his ability can be called one of the unsolvable rule-based abilities, it is all dependent on the opponent's ignorance.
In his life, Ochre Yu has never been completely recognized by anyone in his life. But today...... was seen through by Jiang Xiao at a glance!?
And what Jiang Xiao has in his hands is only the death of Chaoyang, and a few words of dialogue between himself and Yu Deshui?!
How delicate and deep is this man's mind, how deep is it, and how keen is his sense of smell?!
No...... It's not just that...... What Jiang Xiao knew could not be inferred from the information revealed after he arrived on this ship.
It also includes the death of Li Qin!
Zhe Yu suddenly hated herself, why did she make such a decision at that time and send Li Qin to torture Jiang Xiao!
Although he got the evidence that Jiang Xiao did not hide Ziyan's last words at that time, Zhe Yu at that time still thought that he was planning. But...... But I didn't expect the trouble to be even more serious!
But......
Zhe Yu still has the last trace of confidence in his heart.
Even so, in the end, it was just an undefeated ending. Now that both sides have understood the rules of this game, although he can no longer rely on the rules to kill Yu Deshui, Yu Deshui ...... There's no way to kill him either!
"What you're thinking now is that I can't do anything about you?"
In the communicator, Jiang Xiao's voice was full of ridicule: "Retell, get water." ”
"Yes. Ochre's chest rose and fell slightly, and before he could repeat it, he had already said his answer.
"So...... I just kept asking. ”
Deshui's face was also full of a smile of victory, and according to Jiang Xiao's words in the communicator, he repeated word by word: "Li Qin, who went to Jiang Xiao's house that day, was it instructed by you?"
Damn it!
In Ochre Yu's eyes, the pupils contracted suddenly.
Then, cautiously, he glanced to his side.
The man, dressed in a black burqa, was still standing beside him.
Although even his face was hidden in the darkness under the hood, and he couldn't see his gaze clearly, Ochre could clearly feel that a dark aura had wrapped around his body.
The palms of Ochre Yu's hands began to become wet, and in an instant, they were covered with sweat.
He couldn't ask questions that Rang Deshui couldn't answer, but ...... This doesn't mean that Deshui, or Jiang Xiao behind Deshui, can't ask questions that he can't answer!
"Are you...... Are you going to refuse to answer?" Deshui smiled, looking at Ochre Triumphantly.
The situation at this moment has fallen to his side in an instant.
"Yes...... I sent ......."
Finally, in the eighth second of Deshui's silent recitation, Ochre finally answered the question in a dejected manner.
"Good. So, go ahead and answer. Was your plan to come and take the seed yourself?"
“...... Be. ”
"Are you planning to seize the seed, gain the power in it, and then usurp the power of the dean?"
“......”
Ochre Yu's breathing became heavy, and her eyes looked at the dean beside her.
"Answer me!
Deshui roared loudly.
Ochre Yu's fists clenched and let go, let go and clenched, but he couldn't say the answer.
As a supervision officer, he originally shouldered the responsibility of inspecting the personnel of the academy and cleaning up the objects suspected of rebellion.
And he ...... But he gave birth to a different heart!
So the dean...... And what will be done with him?
The most critical problem is that during the activation of the capability, new problems arise in the field, and the competency cannot be withdrawn without answering the questions.
Ochre was already sweating profusely on her forehead.
The dean on the side still didn't make any movement, just stood in place, the whole person was covered in a black burqa, and he couldn't tell whether he was angry or frightened. It's as if Fang Cai's conversation has nothing to do with him.
"Yes!!!!!"
Ochre hoarsely screamed the answer one last time, and then quickly turned around and rushed out the door, withdrawing his abilities at the same time.
Although this is a boat in the center of the lake, there is no way back, but Ochre Yu can't care so much.
Even if you flip over the side of the boat and plunge headlong into the icy waters, at least you have a chance to survive!
If...... If the dean can give him this opportunity!
As Ochre Yu moved his body outward with all his might, the corner of his eyes kept watching the figure of the dean.
No...... Nothing to do!
Maybe...... Can you run away! This thought crossed Ochre Yu's heart.
Although no one in the entire academy has ever seen the dean display his ability, and almost no one has even seen his true face, among the rumors, the dean's strength is terrifyingly strong.
Ochre didn't plan to try, and she didn't have the courage to try.
He just wants to run! The farther he runs, the better!
Maybe...... The dean will let him live!
After all, up to this point, the dean had never reacted.
Since the seeds ...... It's just around the corner, so maybe the dean won't mind his treachery so much......
After all, his idea was nothing more than an idea, far from being successful.
Ochre Yu, who jumped up, had a burst of hope in his heart, and the side of the ship outside the cockpit door was already close at hand and clearly visible.
"It worked!"
One of Ochre Yu's feet finally stepped out of the door!
Next, just ......
Wait a minute!
Ochre Yu was stunned.
In front of his eyes, there was ...... Cockpit!
and standing in the hatch, facing each other, and ...... Dean!
What's going on......?
Ochre glanced back hesitantly.
Behind him is the hatch, the deck and the side of the ship outside the hatch.
But I just ...... Obviously flying out facing the hatch!
A drop of cold sweat was left on the corner of Ochre's forehead.
Why, why did it suddenly turn 180 degrees? And without any notice!
He counted three seconds in his mind, then turned sharply and rushed behind him.
This time...... You can't go wrong again!
But the moment the body passed through the hatch, it was as if time stood still, and countless lights and shadows flowed, but it was as if nothing had happened.
When ochre landed, she was still in the cockpit. In the direction of the face, it is still the dean and the water.
"This ...... It can't be!"
Ochre screamed as she gasped.
"Ochre, I'm sorry. ”
Under the hood, the dean's hoarse voice came: "You just made a wrong choice. ”
"Dean...... Adult ......"
Ochre Yu was now able to determine that the reason why he couldn't get out of this cockpit just now was because of the dean's ability.
"You know what, if you could sincerely kneel before me and ask for my forgiveness after answering the question just now, I would spare you. ”
"Dean...... Please forgive me, Lord Dean, I ...... I already know it......'s wrong! Having played for the academy for so many years......"
Ochre Yu fell limp on her knees and knelt in front of the dean, her face pale, and her whole body trembled like chaff.
This was not the spiritual coercion of the abbot with the rank of priest, but simply the simple fear of ochre.
"I beg for mercy now...... Don't you think it's too late?" The dean's hoarse voice was still slow and flat, but in the ears of Zheyu, it was extremely terrifying: "What do you think...... I can allow you to betray once, but ...... But I can't tolerate your cowardice and lack of responsibility. ”
"Please...... Please ...... anyway" Ochre Yu begged for mercy only halfway through before she suddenly froze.
Because, he saw a back, right in front of him, kneeling on the ground, trembling slightly.
A short trench coat with a white scarf on the back collar.
It was obviously his own dress......
Can...... How is it possible for a person to see his back?
That's impossible!
Ochre Yu tried to move his heels, and the back in front of him, his feet also moved, exactly the same.
This is......
Ochre had just raised her head and was about to shout wildly, but she heard the dean's faint smile.
"Break it. ”
The next moment, Ochre lost consciousness.
