Chapter 2804 New Puzzle
How to solve this problem?
Lao Qi felt helpless.
But he soon stopped worrying.
The person who bought him got lucky...
And there is more than one such case.
Things suddenly became troublesome.
Lao Qi was taken away.
After questioning, Lao Qi confessed.
He had to admit that if he didn't cheat, ordinary people would just be ordinary people. Even if opportunities were given to him, he would not be able to grasp them and would not be able to accomplish great things.
……
In a secret meeting room.
Four people were discussing this great mystery in secret.
They are of different heights, weights and body types, so they are simply called tall, short, fat and thin.
"Artificial intelligence, self-programming, epoch-making technology, robots killing people..."
One noun after another, coupled with ironclad evidence, shocked each and every person involved.
"Now how to do?"
“I always feel like it’s involved in a science fiction-themed story.”
"Yes, this is beyond our understanding. If we don't handle it well, it may cause a huge disaster."
While the four were discussing, suddenly, a bright light flashed in the conference room.
A voice sounded in the minds of the four of them:
[Ding! Congratulations to the player for successfully activating the "Rule Game" and entering the novice copy "Four-Sided Mirror"]
"what?"
“Is this a supernatural power?”
"Can robots and artificial intelligence do this?"
The four of them looked at each other.
The next moment, they found that the time had passed and they felt dizzy. They saw a new room in front of them.
At this moment, the four of them subconsciously looked at their mobile phones.
They found that the cell phone signal bars had turned into question marks.
The whole room has a Republican style, with mahogany armchairs, eight-immortal tables, bronze wares...
This is obviously an old house from the Republic of China period.
What is strange is that there are four full-length mirrors in the corners of the room.
The silver-plated mirror surface was glowing with a cold blue-gray light, like four coffins placed vertically.
And on the table in the house, there is an old clock.
New game prompts sounded one after another:
[Players please pay attention to the following four points:
Midnight (23:00): The southeast mirror becomes visible and characters will appear in the mirror, playing chess with the player.
Once the chess game fails, the player will be pulled into the mirror.
Chou Hour (01:00): A bloody puzzle will appear in the mirror, and fleshy vines will grow around the mirror frame. Be careful with these vines.
If you fail to decrypt the code, the vines will strangle you to death.
Yinshi (03:00): The four mirrors will simultaneously play a slideshow of the player's life, and false memories will begin to be implanted. You must use your own logical ability to judge which memories are false.
For example, if you were originally fat and ugly, but you remembered that five school beauties favored you, brought you food, and helped you copy homework - this is obviously false.
When the three heard this, they all looked at the fat man.
The fat man was shocked and said, "Damn it, when I was in school, there were really five school beauties who brought me food and helped me copy homework, but that was true, how did it know?"
"Tsk, you've been bragging for a long time." The thin man said disdainfully.
"Damn it, this is not bullshit. The cause of the incident was that it was raining one day and I took my dad's Porsche to go to school, and I was seen by the school beauties."
"Later, a school beauty became my stepmother, and then I realized that he had other intentions." said the fat man angrily.
"Hahaha, this is the truth." Everyone laughed.
At the same time, they also felt a little chilly - this game actually knew such private things about them!
At this time, a new prompt appears:
[Mao Hour (05:00): The survivors will hear their own cries when they were born in the mirror. Please note that you must find a suitable exit at this time. If you cannot get out, you will die in childbirth.]
The four of them looked at each other and looked at the mirrors in the four corners.
Then he looked at his phone again.
The time on my phone is now 10pm.
"In one hour, the southeast mirror will be activated." The fat man said solemnly.
The three of them looked towards the mirror in the southeast direction.
And at this time.
The Taotie pattern on the bronze mirror frame in the northwest corner suddenly began to swallow its own tail, and fleshy vines began to spread.
A voice appeared: "Fatty, how many umbrellas have you lost since you were a child?"
Ripples appeared on the mirror surface in the northwest corner.
Four people's reflections appeared in the mirror, and they spoke together.
The four people in the mirror, tall, short, fat and thin, were all writing on the mirror with their right index fingers.
Those were densely packed small regular script characters - all of them were the word "umbrella" written in different handwritings.
The four of them immediately turned to look.
A cold sweat slid down my spine into my coccyx.
"No, the time on our phones is wrong!"
"Yes, without a signal, we can't correct the time. The time is already wrong."
"We have to correct the time again."
As the four of them talked, they quickly adjusted the time to Chou time (01:00).
After adjusting the time, they began to think about the puzzle.
They were all thinking about how to solve this problem.
When the fat man thought of a number and was about to blurt it out, he was horrified to find that the person in the mirror had turned into a woman.
There was a sudden and terrible sound of nails scratching from the mirror in the southeast direction.
A woman in a blood-red wedding dress appeared inside.
She was pounding the mirror frantically, seemingly trying to attract everyone's attention.
Blood oozed from his fingers and flowed onto the mirror.
Finally, he suddenly wrote down an answer: "147".
"I know who she is. She is my stepmother, my childhood sweetheart, and my school belle." The fat man said painfully.
The three of them were suddenly speechless.
What kind of bizarre plot is this unfolding?
How did my childhood sweetheart become my stepmother?
Life is like a jingle.
Then the fat man began to answer on his own: "147."
The moment this number appeared, all four people in the mirror suddenly began to bleed from all seven orifices.
"No, the answer is wrong!"
"Error." An electronic synthesized voice sounded simultaneously from all four mirrors.
A kerosene-gas lantern in the style of the Republic of China suddenly exploded into countless pieces of glass.
Five black arms like octopus tentacles extended from the northwest mirror.
The school beauty's mouth was wide open: "You said you would always carry the umbrella I gave you."
The fat man suddenly fell to the ground and backed away.
His back hit the mirror at the northeast corner.
And in that mirror, an old woman in shroud suddenly appeared...
It turned out to be his mother.
"Child, come in, come in quickly, your father doesn't want you anymore, I want you."
After hearing the old voice, the fat man suddenly turned his head, and saw a hand like a dry branch penetrated the lens and grabbed the fat man's shoulder.
In the smell of rancid sandalwood, she dropped a few teeth and spelled out a hint on the fat man's palm: Look at that clock.
He immediately looked at the clock from the Republic of China.
The hands on the clock are pointing to zero.
It dawned on him.
He remembered that he had a storage room at home full of lost umbrellas.
Someone brought him an umbrella, but it was put away by the nanny.
"The correct answer is," the fat man pinched a crescent-shaped blood mark on his thigh. He let the old woman in the shroud dig her fingers into his shoulder blade, "I never lost my umbrella. It was the umbrella that abandoned me, just like you!"
The mirror made a hissing sound like film burning.
The girl in the wedding dress in the northwest mirror was suddenly pierced by countless black umbrellas.
The ribs of the umbrella pierced through her eye sockets and fingers.
It was like a rain of steel in the mirror world.
The fat guy passed.
And then the second question came.
The tall man in the southwest mirror is writing on the mirror with the umbilical cord he was born with.
What a horrifying and incomprehensible scene it was.
Although the four of them all worked in special departments, they also felt their scalps tingling.
After all, this is peacetime and they haven't seen many bloody scenes.
The amniotic fluid mixed with blood flowed along the carved patterns on the mirror frame, forming a small red puddle at the tall man's feet...
"How many of the people you've loved remember your birthday?"
The tall man suddenly became nervous. "Not even one?" asked the short man.
"No way. At least my mom and dad remember."
"I love them, too."
"The question is, does this count as love in question?" the fat man asked a little nervously.
"Forget it, but there are a lot of traps here, and I can't be sure, so let's take a gamble!" The tall man gritted his teeth and said, "There are two people."
"Correct answer." The tall man in the mirror disappeared.
The four of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon new problems arose.
This time it's the thin guy's turn.
The thin guy rubbed his hands together, the first two questions had been answered, so he was sure he could do it too!
"Skinny, how many bowls of rice have you eaten?"
Others were also stunned.
The thin man was stunned.
"What kind of puzzle is this? This isn't fair!" the fat guy was the first to shout, "This is too hard!"
"Yeah, who can still remember how much food they have eaten?" the tall man said nervously.
The short man didn't say anything, but there was despair on his face.
One person’s mistake means four people die. Who wouldn’t be nervous?
"No, this question is too simple, because I grew up in the north, and grew up in the snow and ice, and I have never eaten rice since I was a child." The thin man said subconsciously.
"correct answer."
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
They found that the problem was not very difficult and was particularly particular.
They can easily solve the problem with a little effort.
Finally it was the short guy's turn.
Everyone is looking forward to the appearance of the fourth puzzle.
"There are a few stars in the sky..."
Everyone was stunned.
They suddenly realized that this was a trap.
"This trap is designed to deceive us!"
"Yes, it is used to deceive us." The fat man said angrily, "At the beginning, they gave us three simple questions, and when we got to the fourth question."
"Suddenly a very difficult question comes up, and you can't answer it."
The tall man nodded and said, "I think there must be an evil guy behind us enjoying our fear. They must be laughing at our stupidity!"
……
"It's damned, they actually found out. It's better to silence them." Xiao Huan said with his big eyes blinking.
"That's enough, designing games is designing games, don't cross the bottom line." Wen Rensheng said helplessly.
Teaching children to be too kind will be ridiculed as a saint, but teaching children to be evil is like shooting oneself in the foot.
……
At this moment, all four of them felt like failures.
"This guy who designed the game behind the scenes is so abominable!"
"What do we do now?"
"There's no other way. We can only guess the answer now!"
The four of them exchanged their inner thoughts.
"Try to answer the question first."
"How many stars are there in the sky? Answer: countless."
At this time, the tall man suddenly said:
"I have the answer."
"What time is it now?"
"It should be around two in the morning now."
"Where are we now?"
"We're in the room."
"Our sky is the ceiling. There are no stars in the sky."
The thin man then looked into the mirror and said, "No stars."
"Wrong answer."
The four people were shocked.
Inside the mirror, countless vines began to entangle with them.
The fat man was so scared that he shrank back.
"Keep your head up, fat man, don't embarrass us!" the tall man roared.
"Yes, even if it means death, you must have the courage to stand up and die!"
"The worst case scenario is death!"
The fat man gritted his teeth and held on.
The four of them huddled toward the middle of the house.
Vines from the four mirrors spread over.
Fortunately, they are very slow.
And at this time.
They began to think of ways to deal with these vines.
"There's an oil lamp over there!"
There was a kerosene lamp from the Republic of China period that was broken.
They picked up oil lamps and used the sputtering flames to touch the vines.
Sure enough, the speed of the vines was delayed.
The short man was still thinking.
"How many stars are there in the sky?"
suddenly.
The short man remembered a brainwave he had seen on the Internet, and he answered decisively: "There is only one star in the sky."
Suddenly, the vines quickly retreated.
The other three looked at the short man in surprise.
"How did you come up with the idea?"
"Yeah, how could you answer there is only one star?"
"Actually, I was just guessing." The short man said perfunctorily without saying what was in his mind.
Obviously the one star answer is correct.
What does this mean?
Is there really only one star in the sky?
The short man had no idea why this happened, but he knew there was a great terror behind it!
Is it true that in his world, there is only one star in the sky?
The sun, the moon, the nine planets (eight planets + one unlucky one), countless asteroids... and countless stars.
Aren’t they all considered stars?
Just like dwarf planets, they are not considered planets, right?
……
And at this time.
Wen Rensheng was watching the confusion of these people.
He couldn't help but shake his head.
In fact, the answer is indeed correct.
The short guy was right.
Indeed, there is only one star in their sky.
There is no conspiracy.
the reason is simple.
Their world is in the void world.
The whole world is shrouded in a moving curtain.
A huge star shines through the hole.
What they see is the sun, which is the biggest hole.
The moon and stars are also formed by light emitted through holes.
There is only one star, and that is the truth of the world.
Of course, there are many bugs in it that are seen by ordinary people.
But it doesn’t matter, the Creator of the world will let them ignore this kind of BUG.
Just like the world that Wen Rensheng came from, there are also many things that are illogical and intuitional.
For example, the world is discontinuous.
Microscopic particles are teleporting and are uncertain.
Time cannot be divided infinitely; there is a minimum granularity of time.
Also, the speed of light is constant, no matter what reference frame it is in.
This is actually the most contrary to common sense.
After all, people are used to classical mechanics, in which speeds vary in different reference frames.
