Chapter 259: Please Solve the Following Conjectures (Happy New Year)
As the words fell, a demon with the wings of an eagle, the body of a lion, and the face of a man appeared out of thin air in front of the large screen in the presidential palace.
The wings like stone flapped slightly, and a pair of deep-set eyes stared at everyone present, and the eyes like a whirlpool attracted attention like stars.
It is it, the messenger of the Queen of Heaven, the punishment of the gods, the Sphinx the Strached Oneβ
All the people who knew this creature felt a heartfelt chill rushing up from their hearts after seeing this creature, and every pore on their body exuded a chill from the outside.
The presidential palace, which had just been full of people, fell silent in the blink of an eye.
Although the Sphinx originally originated from Egyptian mythology and legend, representing 'mercy', 'nobility' and 'protection', in Greek mythology, the Sphinx was born of the half-human, half-snake monster mother Ecardena and her son Ottius the two-headed dog.
The Sphinx was taken away by Hera, the queen of heaven, as soon as she was born, and she was deeply favored by Hera, so her personality was only one level lower than Pandora, the perfect woman created by the gods, and she was a terrifying demon comparable to the gods.
In mythology, in order to punish the king of Thebes for his mistakes, Hera, the queen of heaven, sent the Sphinx to sit on the cliff road near the city of Thebais, and asked passers-by riddles, if the passers-by could not answer the riddles, they would hold the person's neck and suffocate him to death, and at the end of the legend, Oedipus guessed the riddle of the Sphinx the Strach, so the arrogant Sphinx jumped off the cliff in shame.
But judging by the current situation, the myths and legends are clearly wrong?
We've been stolen?
In the presidential palace, some experts who had played League of Legends subconsciously thought of it, and then their faces became frightened, and their legs instinctively retreated, hiding their bodies behind other people's bodies.
The reason why they weren't afraid of these mythical demons before was entirely because they weren't on the front lines of the war, they didn't face these mythical demons directly, and what they heard and saw was separated by a screen.
A small screen is like a time and space, isolating fear, fear, etc.
But now it's different, and now the lion Sphinx actually ran to the rear.
Seeing it appear, Cornelius consciously leaned behind the door, and after a few seconds, he felt that his back touched the door and suddenly grabbed the doorknob with both hands, and his five fingers exerted force, wanting to pull the doorknob so that he could flee dazzlingly, but the next moment, he felt that his hand was inexplicably empty, and the door behind him automatically disappeared into a snow-white wall.
The power of demons......
Cornelius's heart sank, and several guards consciously stood in front of him, put their hands on the weapons, pressed the trigger, and bullets shot out with gunsmoke, making a thumping sound.
But the next moment, something desperate happened, the bullets suddenly stopped when they were about to hit the Sphinx, and then fell to the ground one by one, making a crackling sound.
"Very interesting weapon, quite powerful, if the Athenians had such a weapon, they would not have lost to the Thebans at the Battle of Mandinia, but unfortunately this weapon is of no use to me, and as a punishment for offending me, I grant you eternal rest. β
The figure of the Sphinx disappeared in an instant, and the next moment, it appeared behind those guards, its huge claws swinging, tearing through the air and also tearing its body, and pieces of blood and flesh took off.
As the bangs fell, the atmosphere of the entire presidential palace froze.
"Don't be nervous. β
The Sphinx opened his stone-like lips, the human-like upper and lower jaws colliding with each other, making a thumping sound, and the face made of stone had no expression other than opening and closing, "I'm full of malice towards humans." β
The lion told a bad joke, but no one in the room could laugh.
"But don't worry, I don't eat people, I just like to play games with you, and the rules of the game are very simple, that is, answer the question, I will ask a question, if one of you gives an answer to this question, then I will leave, on the contrary, if you can't give an answer to the question, then I will ......"
The slightly narrow voice paused, and a stiff smile appeared on the sphynoid face, "...... Eat you guys. β
Looking at the crowd that instantly stiffened, the smile on the Sphinx's face became even worse, "Don't be nervous, the question I asked is very simple, I believe that your human intelligent brains can answer this question for me." β
"Of course, if you don't want to play the game, that's okay. β
The Sphinx raised his front paws, gently stretched out his tongue and licked it around, saying that the blood stained on it was swallowed clean, "If you don't want to play this game, you can choose to quit, and as a price, I will eat him directly." β
If you lose, you have to eat, if you don't play, you have to eat, and you dare to say that you don't like to eat people?
An expert complained in his heart, and at the same time sighed in his heart, Greek mythology is really unreliable.
Myths and legends say that the Sphinx likes to choke people by the throat and suffocate each other to death, but now it seems that the Sphinx obviously prefers to eat people, and the Greek mythology of the Sphinx is a banshee, but looking at the voice of the lion in front of him, it is obviously a male.
"Is there anyone who doesn't want to play this game?"
The Sphinx swept everyone in the presidential palace with a scrutinizing gaze, "Those who don't want to can move, I promise that it will not be steamed, only fried." β
One by one, experts, scholars, and dignitaries straightened up and remained motionless.
Just kidding, who would dare to move?
If you move it, you will die, don't look at some of the people present who have weapons, but it has been proven just now that the pistol has no effect on the Sphinx.
A few experts with a lot of knowledge glanced left and right to see if anyone came forward, and if there was really no one to come forward, they would have to come out on their own.
After all, it is better to hand over your fate to others than to control it yourself.
And if he wins the Sphinx, he can still be a hero in Greece, and everyone present will accept his life-saving grace, as for whether he will be hated after losing, and whether he will be settled by others, he is not worried at all.
Will there be a future after the people present have lost?
"Looks like you're planning to play this game with me. The Sphinx smiled narrowly, "Don't worry, my question is simple, really simple." β
"Solve the conjecture that any even number greater than 2 can be written as the sum of two prime numbers!"
