Chapter 233 An unexpected gain
Ke Lan took a deep breath, held the phone in her hand, and walked towards the three masked and motionless men.
Fatty Qian and Liu Mao stared at the blackboard with confusion on their faces.
"Is there a solution to this question? It's impossible to ask this because I don't even know whether 'woof woof' represents correct or 'meow meow' represents correct. What's more, there is a character who can answer however he wants. Isn't this nonsense? Which lunatic came up with this kind of question? I can't figure it out even if I think about it for a year. But this place is a time-limited challenge. If you exceed the time limit, you will fail." Fatty Qian complained.
He was anxious because he really couldn't think of a solution.
In his opinion, this problem has no solution.
Brother Mao stared at the blackboard with a confused look on his face. Soon he covered his face and shook his head, giving up completely.
Seeing Ke Lan coming, the two of them became more excited.
Even if Ke Lan can't solve this problem, Luo Xi can definitely do it.
Ke Lan glanced at the three masked men, then said to the man in the middle: "The first question, I want to ask the man in the middle!"
The next moment, the man in the middle nodded and took a step forward.
"If I asked you if the person to your left was 'cunning', would you answer 'woof woof'?"
Fatty Qian and Brother Mao were confused by what they heard and still looked bewildered.
Ke Lan was also very nervous. At this moment, he kept thinking about what Luo Xi had just said.
"Ke Lan, when you ask that person this question, there are only two possible answers. One is 'woof woof' and the other is 'meow meow'. So there are two possibilities. The first is that the masked man is 'cunning', so his answer is meaningless. The second possibility is that you are talking to 'sincerity' or 'lie'. If the other person's answer is 'woof woof', then it means that the hypothetical question we raised is correct, and the person on his left is 'cunning'. In either case, you can be sure that the person on his right is not 'cunning', and vice versa. If his answer is 'meow meow', then the person on his left must not be 'cunning'. So for the second question, you must ask the person who is already confirmed not to be 'cunning'."
The masked man who took a step forward seemed to pause for a moment, then answered.
"Wang Wang!"
Ke Lan took a deep breath. He felt uneasy. Although this feeling was confusing, it was extremely exciting.
The problem in the tenth room was completely beyond the limits of his analysis, but Luo Xi still seemed to be able to handle it with ease.
So, is Luo Xi's analysis correct?
The answer will be available soon.
"Remember, the second question is for the person who is determined not to be 'devious.'"
At this moment, Luo Xi's voice and Ke Lan's question perfectly matched each other.
He asked the person on his right: "If I asked you if you were a 'lie', would you answer 'woof woof'?"
The masked man on the right responded: "Meow!"
Ke Lan took a look at the masked man and had already labeled him in his mind: the masked man on the right is "sincere".
Ke Lan couldn't figure out the principle for a moment, but Luo Xi said that if the first question determines which of the three people is definitely not "cunning", then the second question can determine whether this person who is not "cunning" is "sincere" or "lying".
The judgment criterion is the second question: "If I ask you whether you are a 'lie', will you answer 'woof woof'?"
"Then the last question is to judge between the remaining two people, who is 'cunning' and who is 'lying'. This can only be asked to the last person!"
Ke Lan looked at the masked man on the left.
"Third question, if I ask you if the man in the middle is 'cunning', will you answer 'woof woof'?"
"Meow meow!"
"Oh, thank you!"
At this time, Ke Lan walked to the blackboard and wrote the answer on it.
"The one on the left is deceitful, the one in the middle is a liar, and the one on the right is sincere!"
When you are done writing, throw away the chalk.
The next moment, with a click, the exit door opened.
"Correct?" Fatty Qian was stunned, somewhat unbelieving. He glanced at the blackboard and reviewed the three questions Ke Lan had just asked in his mind. He was filled with confusion and fear, just like a native seeing an airplane for the first time.
For him, this problem has transcended his dimension.
"Let's go!" Ke Lan knew that Luo Xi wanted them to do something and was in a hurry, so she took the lead and walked out of the tenth room without delay. Outside, the administrator of this level scene was distributing rewards for passing the level with an unhappy look on his face.
Each person gets 3 [Memories], plus 1 chance to draw a card.
It can be said that the reward for completing the game is quite generous.
However, if you fail to clear the level within the specified time, not only will you lose the [Memory] of the ticket, but you will also be killed by the poisonous gas emitted from the room.
Ke Lan and the others did not delay and left immediately after receiving the reward.
"Let's take a taxi and go to the Haunted Building. Fatty, you know the place. You can talk to the driver about the route later." After saying this, Ke Lan fell silent. He seemed to be in a trance, with his head lowered, his fingers moving, and muttering to himself.
"What's wrong with this guy?" Fatty Qian asked Brother Mao in a low voice. Brother Mao took a look and said, "I guess he's thinking about that question."
"Hey, if you can't figure it out, just don't think about it. Why bother yourself with troubles? We should eat and drink as we please, and never take troubles to heart!" Fatty Qian took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lit it up comfortably.
They got in a taxi and quickly headed to the location of the Haunted Building. After coming out of the scene just now, Ke Lan hung up the phone, and Fatty Qian and Brother Mao had no idea why they went to that scene.
But it doesn’t matter, Ke Lan will tell you when we get there.
During the journey of more than ten minutes, Ke Lan seemed to be in a trance. He even took out a pen and a piece of paper and wrote and drew on them. Brother Mao, who was sitting next to him, took a sneak peek and found that the paper was filled with words like "sincerity", "lie", "woof woof", "meow meow" and so on.
He was drawing circles and connecting lines, like a madman.
Even Ke Lan sometimes glared, sometimes laughed strangely, or suddenly twitched and violently scribbled on the paper.
Brother Mao glanced at Fatty Qian who was sitting in the passenger seat, leaned over and lowered his voice: "Do you think Xiao Lan is crazy?"
"No, no, he is a person who likes to use his brain. He is solving a problem. It's okay. If he can't figure it out, he will give up." Fatty Qian didn't care.
We've arrived.
After paying the taxi fare and pulling Ke Lan out, the three of them walked to the entrance of the "Haunted Building" scene.
At this moment, the entrance was closed, and the room where the elementary school students originally lived was also closed. It was empty, as if there was no one there at all.
"We're here, but it seems the scene is closed and we can't get in." Fatty Qian glanced at Ke Lan and found that the other person had a strange expression, just like Dong Zhuo seeing Diao Chan without clothes, he was extremely excited and beaming with joy.
"Haha, I finally figured it out, I understand, so that's how it is!" Ke Lan roared wildly, like a madman.
"Xiao Lan, are you really okay?" Brother Mao went over to help the other person calm down. He was really afraid that this guy would faint.
"Me? I'm fine, I'm doing fine. Hey, are we there yet?" Ke Lan looked up and realized that they had arrived at the entrance of "The Haunted Building". She immediately remembered what Luo Xi had told her on the phone before.
"Let's get down to business." Ke Lan took a deep breath. "Luo Xi just called me and asked us to hurry to the administrator's room in the Haunted Building and find a way to get in."
"What is Luo Ju's plan?" Fatty Qian was curious.
"I don't know either. He just told us to open the room at all costs."
"Okay, since it's Luo Ju's idea, then I, Fatty, will try my best to pry the door open." Fatty Qian was very serious when doing things. He immediately walked to the door and took a look inside.
"No one? Where did that arrogant kid go?" Fatty Qian was curious.
"Luo Xi must have his purpose. He knows that there is no one here. Maybe, now he knows the location of the administrator, so he feels confident in letting us come." Ke Lan also looked around, then summoned his card book and took out a [Unlock] card.
Use on locked doors.
Click!
The card turned into a stream of light, but the door did not open as he wished.
At the same time, a majestic and threatening voice sounded in the minds of several people.
"This is the administrator's private residence. Attempting to unlock or break the door is against the rules of the scene. Leave immediately, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"
Like a protection mechanism.
If someone approaches, touches, or tries to unlock the door, you will get this audible warning.
"Continue to use the lock picking." Ke Lan ignored the warning.
He only had one [Unlock] card left in his hand, and the fat man had just drawn one, so the two of them used them separately. Finally, after three accumulated [Unlock] cards, the door was finally opened.
"Okay!" Fatty Qian stretched out his hand and pulled open the security door.
The three men each took out their weapons, two of them sneaked in, and one stood at the door to block the wind.
Soon, Fatty Qian from the room ran out with a look of excitement on his face: "Come in and take a look, there is a big discovery!"
Ke Lan went in and saw a person tied to a chair in a bedroom inside.
It was the old man in the vest and shorts at the beginning.
According to the Awakener Association, this was the administrator of the previous scene, but for some reason that elementary school student came today to take over.
"What should we do? Should we?" Fatty Qian made a gesture of reaching out and chopping down.
It means whether to kill someone to silence him.
It was obvious that the three of them broke in through the door, only to find that the former administrator was still inside.
If the other party saw them, he should kill them.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, let me contact Luo Xi." Ke Lan walked out, took out his phone and dialed.
He has left the scene, so normal conversation has resumed.
It rang for a while before the call was connected.
"Luo Xi, we got there and found a way to open the door, but we found something inside..."
"Is that old man still alive?" Luo Xi on the other end of the phone didn't seem surprised at all.
