Chereads / The End of Ten Days / Chapter 18 - True or False

Chapter 18 - True or False

The nine people were now like chandeliers on the ceiling, swinging back and forth under the pull of a rope.

 Ringo looked down and his heart dropped.

 At the bottom is a cavity about ten meters deep.

 If he hadn't grabbed the rope, he would have fallen to his death by now.

 "Hey, writer, hurry up!" Qiao Jiajin also noticed that Han Yimo was falling downwards at this time, and suddenly felt anxious, "Why are you so powerless at this critical moment?"

 "I..." Han Yimo's face showed It was full of difficulty writing, but my left hand was still loose.

 Qiao Jiajin was very close to Han Yimo, so he immediately let go of one hand, grabbed his rope, and wrapped it around his waist, but he only had one hand and couldn't wrap it tightly anyway.

 Upon seeing this, Officer Li also reached out to help. Each of them tied the end of Han Yimo's rope to his waist with one hand.

 Everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief when they heard another groan.

 Turning around, Tiantian couldn't help but scream. Only then did the few people remember that her hand had also been injured.

 But this girl seemed to be very tolerant, and she didn't make a sound until her blood was all over the rope.

 She let go of her right hand and grabbed the rope with only one left hand. However, the girl's strength was already weak, and it was even more difficult to support the weight of her whole body with one hand, so she suddenly slid down.

 Qi Xia's expression changed, and he immediately reached out and grabbed her injured wrist.

 With just a brief touch, he found that Tiantian's thin body was trembling slightly and her wrist was very cold.

 "Hey, liar, you're not a bad person." Qiao Jiajin said.

 Qi Xia sighed helplessly and said, "I just don't want to see the corpse anymore, don't think too much."

 As time passed, everyone's arms began to feel sore.

 Hanging for a long time is not easy for anyone, and even Officer Li's forehead began to sweat.

 "How long do we have to hang up?" Lin Ju asked Qi Xia who was standing aside.

 "I don't know." Qi Xia replied in a deep voice.

 He knew that there was no "next game" prompt, but everyone still saw no hope.

 If the organizers were more cruel and left everyone hanging like this, it would only be a matter of time before they died.

 But...

 are there really no hints for the next game?

 Qi Xia felt a little nervous.

 Are there any unknown hints hidden in invisible places?

 He looked down at the ground below. If there was any clue, it would be somewhere below.

 "Huh?"

 He looked around and saw that due to the collapse of the ground, a new wall appeared at the bottom. There seemed to be a door on the wall at the bottom corner.

 But that door is really out of reach for everyone.

 They were still almost ten meters away from the floor at the bottom, and it was impossible to survive a jump from this height.

 Lin Ju followed Qi Xia's gaze for a long time and discovered the problem.

 "Is it the door?"

 After hearing this, everyone looked down one after another, and sure enough they found the dilapidated wooden door at the bottom.

 While everyone was stunned in despair, the door slowly opened.

 A black figure walked in from the darkness. Qi Xia took a look and saw that this man was also wearing a black suit, but his mask was completely different from that of the sheep-headed man.

 He actually wore a huge dark green snake head.

 "Long time no see, everyone, I am a "human snake"." He said slowly.

 "Man, your mother!" Qiao Jiajin shouted, "After the sheep and the dog, comes the snake? Do you believe I will kill you right now?"

 "Please don't get excited." The man-snake's voice was very steady, and he looked up at everyone. , and then said, "You are undergoing the last round of tests. I have a lever at my hand. As long as I pull it, you can land slowly and no one will be injured."

 Everyone looked around, and there was indeed a person beside the wooden door. An inconspicuous lever, no one noticed it just now because of the dim light.

 "Then...will you pull it off?" Xiao Ran asked timidly.

 "I..." The human snake smiled imperceptibly and said, "I'm playing a game with you. Whether you can survive or not depends on your own performance."

 "It's a game again..." Dr. Zhao's hair was a little Messy, he gritted his teeth fiercely, as if he wanted to eat someone.

 "Listen up, everyone, this game is called "right and wrong."" The human snake stepped forward slightly and said to the people hanging in the sky, "Next, all of you can ask me a total of three questions, and I The answers are only "yes" and "no". Please note that I will not tell lies. After asking the three questions, if I agree to save you, then I will pull the lever. If I do not agree, I will pull the lever. This door is locked and you are left to fend for yourself."

 Qi Xia frowned.

 Three questions?

 Can only answer "yes" and "no"?

 This game is a bit too tricky.

 In any case, everyone's purpose is to get the smuggler to let them go, so they can only ask questions around this topic, but will he agree?

 Kindergarten teacher Xiao Ran took advantage of everyone's thinking and spoke decisively: "Hey, can you let us down?!"

 "No!" Qi Xia was startled and quickly reached out to cover Xiao Ran's mouth, but this girl was quick to speak. , the question has clearly reached the ears of the snake.

 The human snake sneered and said, "No."

 "Hey! Beautiful girl?!" Qiao Jiajin shouted, "There are three questions in total, don't mess around!"

 "I..."

 Xiao Ran lowered his head in embarrassment His head looked very sad.

 "There are two questions left." The snake calmly took a step back, bringing himself closer to the wooden door.

 It looked like he had given up on everyone.

 Xiao Ran's inadvertent question turned the game into a hellish difficulty.

 Of course, the human snake would not let them down so easily.

 If he wanted to save people, why would he set up this game?

 But then again, if he doesn't want to save people, how can he get him to agree to pull the lever?

 Even if the question is changed to "won't you let us down?", his answer will only be "yes".

 "Liar, do you have any idea?" Qiao Jiajin looked back at Qi Xia.

 Qi Xia closed her eyes slightly, her mind confused.

 Way, way.

 How can a person have so many solutions?

 Every step from entering this room requires Qi Xia's method. Why can he bear the lives of so many people?

 But then he felt a little desperate.

 If he gives up, will everyone still have a way to survive?

 "I can't die here..." Qi Xia's eyes lit up with a faint light again, "She is still waiting for me..."

 A gentle female voice sounded in Qi Xia's mind: "Xia, do you know? The world's There are many roads, and everyone has their own one."

 He opened his eyes slightly, and the thoughts in his mind suddenly became much clearer.

 Yes, his mistake was that he completely followed the other party's path.

 "Snakehead man." Qi Xia called out in a low voice.

 Officer Li was stunned for a moment, then turned around and asked, "Hey, what are you asking? Let's communicate in advance to avoid the same situation as before."

 "It doesn't matter, I have already thought of a way to survive." Qi Xia vowed. He lowered his head and looked down at the human snake, "Don't talk, this will be over soon."

 "Do you really have a way?" Zhang Chenze asked.

 "Should." Qi Xia took a deep breath and thought carefully about the next two questions.

 No, it's a question to be precise.

 All it takes is one question and the game is over.

 From the beginning of this game, you can't worry about how to get the opponent to pull the lever, just consider the logic of "yes" and "no".

 The human snake seemed to be very interested in Qi Xia, and his eyes were looking out from the holes in the snakeskin mask.

 Qi Xia paused and asked: "Snake, if my next question is "Can you pull down the lever?", will your answer be the same as this question?"
