Tiantian and Liuliu were surprised.
It was not because the scene in front of them was too horrifying, nor was it because the difficulty of escaping from the [Gate] was beyond their imagination.
It was because the ending of the [Gate] choice was beyond their imagination. It was … ordinary.
The gate had two iron gates. It was casually locked with a rusty chain that was as thick as a bowl. What locked the chain was an equally rusty lock.
The keyhole was very large. It looked like a very ancient spring-type lock structure. It seemed like one could easily open it if they knew a little bit of lock picking techniques.
Next to the gate in the middle of Styx, there was a simple security booth made of red bricks.
The security booth looked like a simple public toilet. It was surrounded by walls and no windows. There was only a wooden door that looked like it could be smashed with a slap.
Next to the door, an ugly old dog with wrinkled fur was lying lazily next to the door.
The old dog's expression had no moral integrity. Even when it was sleeping, it was licking its face. It looked like the type that could be flipped away by a random bone.
Ah?
Tiantian and Liuliu looked delicate and weak, but they were apostles after all.
They were apostles that could survive until now.
At this point, the exit of Styx Junior High School was not blocked by an iron wall like they had imagined. This contrast made them hesitate.
There must be something wrong when things were abnormal.
Tiantian rubbed her eyes.
Liuliu's slender fingers trembled slightly.
The two girls did not speak.
When they reached the gate, the restriction from the [Multiple Choice Question] had disappeared.
In other words, they could move freely now.
They looked up. Other than the gate, the wall was only two meters tall. For apostles, it was a height that they could easily cross.
Liuliu's five fingers finally stopped trembling. She seemed to have calmed down. She smiled bitterly. "This trap seems too obvious."
"Oh?" Tiantian turned to look at Liu Liu with a faint smile. "I thought you would pretend to be magnanimous and let me try to escape first?"
Liuliu pursed her lips and smiled. There was still some shyness in her smile. "No, sister, you are not that stupid."
Tiantian's expression was cold. "Call me sister."
Liuliu: "…"
The exit was right in front of them.
The two of them didn't dare to move.
Although it was just a small talk, the two of them were very clear in their hearts. If they could really escape from this school by jumping over the wall, then this trial would be a bit too laughable.
Taking ten thousand steps back, if one of the paths to survival in this survival trial was really as simple as climbing over the wall … the final evaluation would probably not be too high.
It was common knowledge that the final evaluation of the Inner World's trials was often proportional to the difficulty.
Time ticked by.
In the midst of their idleness, they both noticed something strange.
During the lunch break, when all the students in Styx Junior High School were free to move around, no one actually took the initiative to approach this place.
Why?
Could it be that for some reason, this place couldn't be approached?
Or perhaps … this wasn't the way out at all?
Then what was the purpose of setting up a [Gate]?
Was it just for show?
The weather was not hot, and the sky was gray. After standing still for a few minutes, a layer of moisture appeared on their foreheads.
"Retreat?"
Tiantian asked in a low voice, as if she was asking Liu Liu beside her, but also as if she was asking herself.
"Retreat."
Liu Liu did not hesitate. It was only the first day, and the survival trial had more than seventy hours.
Even if this was really the exit, as long as the position of the gate did not change, they could come at any time. There was no need to take the risk in this situation where they lacked information.
After all, they only had one life, and they had to cherish it.
And at this moment.
Suddenly.
Squeak — —
It was both reasonable and unexpected. The door opened.
The moment the door opened, Liu Liu and Tiantian, who had been tense all this time, took a step back at the same time. Goosebumps appeared all over their bodies.
"Hmm, students, what are you doing here?"
A bald uncle, with a pair of indifferent dead fish eyes, walked out of the house.
The bald man was wearing a dark blue security guard uniform. He did not look special.
Guard?
That's right.
Wasn't it normal to have guards at the school gate?
Wasn't it normal for the guard to have a dog?
What the f * ck … normal my ass!
Tiantian and Liu Liu looked at each other.
Under such circumstances, the two apostles subconsciously treated each other as teammates. They no longer tried to sabotage each other in the open and in the dark. They had to deal with the current situation first.
"I — —"
Tiantian had just opened her mouth to say something.
But she stopped abruptly.
[Narration] appeared in front of the two of them.
[You seem to want to leave the school.]
[The only guard of Styx Junior High School, Third Uncle, appears in front of you.]
[Third Uncle feels that you look very unfamiliar. Although he can't see it on the surface, he is very confused about your appearance here.]
[Please choose your answer.]
[A, good uncle, dear uncle, I want to go out to buy candy. Can you let us go out?]
[B, guard uncle, look at my innocent eyes. Would you believe me if I said I was just lost?]
[C, without saying a word, turn around and leave.]
The same option appeared in front of the two of them.
Tiantian and Liu Liu instantly became silent.
There was no more communication.
The moment Liu Liu and Tiantian saw the three options, an inexplicable feeling came over them. It made them feel a chill down their spines at the same time.
This feeling, if they chose wrong, they would die here.
It was clearly three simple options, but it made it difficult for them to make up their minds.
Just as they were hesitating.
The bald guard, Third Uncle, and Old Dog next to him raised their eyelids slightly.
Third Uncle also took a step forward and frowned. "Hmm? Why aren't you saying anything? Didn't your teacher tell you not to approach the gate for no reason? Or is it that you're broken? "
Tiantian was shocked when she heard this. There was indeed such a taboo!
Damn it, the teacher really didn't say anything!
Who knew!
[Third Uncle is starting to get impatient.]
[Please answer as soon as possible.]
[Or leave this place immediately.]
Wait.
This atmosphere suddenly became solemn … What was going on?
There was a time limit for this question!
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
The bald man took another step forward with an unfriendly expression.
Suddenly.
Tiantian took a deep breath, then turned around and left without saying anything.
A trace of surprise flashed in Liu Liu's eyes. She left just like that?
So decisive?
After Tiantian chose [C], she turned around and left without saying a word.
As expected, the bald man did not pursue the matter. He still used a pair of dead fish eyes to stare emotionlessly at Liu Liu, who was still not leaving.
"In that case, option C should be safe."
"But it's obvious that option C doesn't yield any results. It's just a 'retreat'."
"Is retreat the only way?"
Liu Liu was somewhat unwilling, but the outcome after Tiantian made her choice undoubtedly meant that this was the safest option.
"Wait —"
Liu Liu suddenly remembered the tone of the boy named "Lin Lin" in the anatomy class when he answered the question.
The options … were so long and wordy?
"I see."
After pondering for a moment, Liu Liu smiled slightly, then quickly revealed a timid look and said softly, "I suddenly feel like eating candy. I couldn't find it in the school. I thought I could get out of here. The teacher also didn't tell us not to approach the gate. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. We're the new transfer students of Year 3 Class 2. The teacher didn't tell us the rules … "
Liu Liu said pitifully.
"Your teacher didn't tell you?" The bald man pondered for a moment, then waved his hand impatiently. "Let's go. Without an 'entry and exit permit', no one can enter or exit from the gate."
After Liu Liu finished speaking, the options in front of her disappeared.
Sure enough.
Using similar language to modify the options could also be considered as making a [choice]!
However, different tones and different words would achieve different effects!
She remembered Irin's answer in class.
Although he had never eaten the ghost meat, when Irin answered, he used some ambiguous subjective feelings such as "endless aftertaste", "soul sublimation", and "traveling through the past and future". As for the saltiness of the taste, the quality of the meat, and the taste, he did not mention a word. It was simply a bluff.
In other words, there was room for manipulation in the [Multiple Choice Answering Questions]!
Liu Liu came to a conclusion.
Although Liu Liu did not know the [choice] that Irin faced at that time.
But she could not help but sigh. That guy named "Lin Lin" had a terrifying imagination. In a very short period of time, he used such a roundabout answer to the question in another form to bluff the question.
She put away her admiration for the time being.
When Liu Liu heard what the guard said, her pupils could not help but shrink.
Got it!
Information!
Entry and exit permit!
Perhaps this was the key to escape?
Although Liu Liu had the intention to bluff her way through, was this bald guard really just a guard?
Unfortunately, she did not have a skill similar to "identification". If she could identify the guard's combat power, she could evaluate the possibility of breaking through by force.
Liu Liu hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "That … where should I find the entry and exit permit?"
When she asked this question, Liu Liu only had the mentality that she would not get pregnant even if she tried.
At most, she would do another multiple choice question.
Moreover, "turning around and leaving" should be an obvious way of retreat.
Since the guard took the initiative to mention the "entry and exit permit", then she followed his words and asked one more question. It should not be so ridiculous as to trigger an instant death flag.
Sure enough.
The guard waved his hand impatiently and turned to walk back to the security booth. As he walked, he said, "Go go go, if you want the entry and exit permit, go get it from the 'Vice President'!"
After that, the guard slammed the door shut.
The wrinkled old dog at the door also closed his eyes again.
Vice President.
Entry and exit permit.
Information, received.
Liu Liu did not delay any longer and did not dare to stay any longer. She quickly left.
Before leaving, she could not help but look at the lock on the chain one more time and memorize the shape of the keyhole.
…
At this moment.
On the rooftop of the teaching building.
An intelligent spiritual-type apostle was faced with a seemingly simple but illogical problem.
"Hey, do you know what color the sky is?"
Sky?
Han Han looked up with a dumbfounded expression.
The sky above the head of the River Styx was gray and cloudless, as if it was covered with a layer of haze.
Although it was not the commonly seen blue, the color should be obvious.
Could it be that there was some hidden poetic meaning in this sentence?
Was it that complicated?
In front of Han Han, options also appeared.
[A, the protective color of love.]
[B, the color of your eyes.]
[C, the same sky looks different in everyone's eyes.]
"…"
This question seemed simple.
But it was extremely terrifying.
What to do?
How to choose?
Why was it different from the original script?
Didn't he say that he would silently stand beside the girl and look at the same sky with her?
How could such a romantic plot be tampered with?
Han Han immediately broke out in cold sweat and countless thoughts appeared in his mind.
But after a moment, he tried to calm himself down.
As expected, a trial was a trial after all. It was not that simple and was full of surprises and surprises.
Forget it, forget it. Let's think about the color first.
Han Han decided to analyze the options first.
[A], the protective color of love … At first glance, it seemed to be the best solution.
But after thinking about it carefully, he did not know the girl. Suddenly saying such a sentence was very similar to the style of a playboy. It seemed to be the best, but in fact, it was the most reckless and dangerous.
If the girl had an attribute such as "chopper" and hated scumbags, and he chose [A], she might instantly take out a big knife from under her skirt and slash at him.
Although this scene was extremely sudden and illogical, if he thought about it in reverse, with the nature of "Tower", he might really be able to make such a strange arrangement.
He thought about it.
[A], eliminate.
Yep, when faced with an indecisive situation, the elimination method was also excellent.
Now, look at [B], the color of your eyes?
Han Han had already arrived beside the girl. From the side of the girl's face, he could see that the girl had a pair of clean and pure black eyes. He could not distinguish her emotions.
Moreover, the girl's appearance was pure and cute. She also faintly revealed a kind of tranquility that was not stained by mud … Bah, let's not talk about her appearance first. The color of her eyes was obvious at a glance. Wasn't [B] obvious nonsense?
Only a blind person would choose [B].
Choose … choose … I choose [C]!
So, Han Han braced himself and used the elimination method to get the answer. He said according to the content of the option, "The same sky looks different in everyone's eyes."
"Is that so?"
The girl lowered her eyelids and sighed faintly.
Hmm?
What did this mean?
Was the answer right or wrong?
"Do you know?"
The girl did not seem to have any intention of correcting Han Han's homework. After Han Han made his choice, she stared at the "sky" again with a confused expression.
"I heard that the sky at the beginning of the River Styx did not look like this. It was said that it was a more magnificent color."
"Unfortunately, I have never seen it."
"Someone took away that enchanting color."
The girl's words made Han Han more and more confused. What kind of development was this?
It was a little … strange!
However, before the multiple choice question came, Han Han quickly leaned on the edge of the fence and followed the original script. He kept a certain distance from the girl and stared at the sky from the same angle.
"I just came, so I'm not sure. However, I think that whether the sky looks good or not does not depend on the color of the sky. After all, this is just a background. What really determines whether the scenery is good or not should be the person standing under the sky, and … who is the person admiring the scenery. "
Perfect!
After Han Han finished speaking, he clenched his fists and silently gave himself a thumbs up for his wit.
At this moment, Hanhan lowered his head and took in the entire campus in passing.
Eh?
That's?
The gate?
In front of the gate, Han Han saw that Tiantian and Liuliu had arrived at the gate. A guard with a reflective skull walked out from the security pavilion. It seemed that he was triggering some plot.
"Nothing happened?"
"Heh, but it doesn't matter. I believe that the test will not put the 'answer' there so easily. "
"Since you have explored the path, if there is nothing there, I will go and take a look sooner or later. It's the same."
Thinking of this, Han Han looked away and focused on the current situation.
"Is that so?"
The girl's eyes were blurred.
The next second …
She was finally interested in Han Han. She looked away from the sky and turned around with a smile. "Then, are you the person admiring the scenery?"
Oh my!
[A, what is the scenery you are talking about?]
[B, you are a beautiful scenery in my eyes!]
[C, how dare you! I can tell at a glance that you are not human!]
“？？？”
Cold sweat appeared on Han Han's forehead again.
These options seemed to be trying to kill him.
A？
His answer was like a steel man. Pass.
C？
It was obviously a sure-kill option! Only idiots would choose it!
B！ I choose B!
"You are a beautiful scenery in my eyes."
"Really?"
"Really!"
The girl seemed to be very happy. "It has been a long time since I could chat so happily with someone! You are also in the third year second class, right? "
After a round of charging, Han Han found that there were no options for this question.
For a moment, he was not used to it.
But it seemed to be a question that he could freely choose.
"How do you know?"
The girl pursed her lips and smiled. "Because the third year second class has not had more than twenty students for a long time. There are five transfer students all of a sudden. I think that many people should know you. "
Han Han suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Why?"
"Yes, why? Do you want to know? "
[The girl narrowed her eyes and smiled.]
[Her eyes are like the crescent moon, making your heart beat faster.]
[But the girl's words also attracted your attention.]
[Why did the girl say that the third year second class has not had more than twenty students for so many years, but there are five transfer students this year?]
[The girl saw your puzzled expression.]
[The girl seems to be very interested in you.]
[The girl seems to be very interested in you.]
[The girl seems to be very interested in you.]
[So you mustered up your courage —]
[Please choose.]
[A, you decided to ask about it.]
[B, you decided not to ask about it for the time being. Let's talk about it tomorrow.]
[C, you decided to ignore the girl and give up on this encounter. You left the girl with a scumbag's back, turned around, and left, never to return.]
Options appeared in front of his eyes.
It was another difficult choice question.
Han Han was careful at every step.
In this situation where the information was about to come out and was delivered to his mouth, he felt that if he gave up now, he would be a little reluctant.
Besides, the "scumbag's back" in [Option C] always made him think of a bad ending.
As for [Option B]?
Under normal circumstances, there was nothing wrong with it.
But in this strange trial, once he chose [Let's talk about it tomorrow], it was very likely that he would never see the next day again!
This was clearly similar to countless classic scenarios that had been passed down for hundreds of years.
"I will definitely come back. "
In the end, he never came back.
"After this war, I will go back to my hometown and get married. "
In the end, his fiancée in his hometown was quickly taken over.
"My son is about to be born. "
Ten years later, the son looked at his father's portrait in silence.
"The salary of this job is incomparable to any previous job. "
In the end, the salary was used to buy a coffin.
Han Han was just casually thinking about it. There were countless cases of people who died after raising a flag.
Thinking of this.
Han Han decided to ask for clarification.
[The girl hesitated to speak.]
[That expression of biting her lower lip made you feel an inexplicable sense of heartache.]
[Is this love?]
[Maybe not.]
[Who knows?]
[The girl hesitated for a moment and looked around as if she had finally made up her mind to tell you a secret that no one knows.]
[This secret is very important. It is like a Pandora's secret garden. That charming danger makes you involuntarily fall into it.]
[You stare into the girl's black eyes and wait for her to tell you her secret.]
The girl smiled and said, "But it's a little inconvenient here. Why don't we … find a quieter place and I'll tell you properly?"
After saying that, the girl lowered her head. Her cheeks were flushed red and she was extremely shy.
Hiss —
Han Han suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air.
This sudden change caught him off guard.
Wait.
Why did the car suddenly drift?
The car was a little fast!
Or was he thinking too much?
But this shy expression made it hard for him not to think too much.
"No!"
Han Han's eyes narrowed. "It must be a trap! It's just that this trap is too obvious! There was a knife above the character of lust. Who the hell would screw up in such a place? Hehe, you're underestimating me, Xia Wenhan. "
Xia Wenhan shook his head. He instantly saw through this peach trap in his heart.
At this time, options appeared without any surprise.
[A, you decide to find a secret place that no one has discovered and explore the deepest mystery with the girl.]
[B, you use a righteous expression and tell the girl that there is no need to hide. Just boldly tell the secret here.]
[C, bold evildoer! I can tell at a glance that you're not human!]
Xia Wenhan saw the answer at a glance.
Only option B looked normal.
Without a doubt.
A series of multiple choice questions bombarded Xia Wenhan, allowing him to gradually figure out his train of thought.
As long as he avoided the obvious death flag option, this trial was not as difficult as he imagined.
Xia Wenhan chuckled and chose [B].
He told the girl his decision.
The girl lowered her head and smiled. Her expression was a little hesitant, but soon she shook her head reluctantly. "Okay then."
At this moment.
Xia Wenhan did not know why, but the previous multiple choice question flashed through his mind. After he made his choice, he felt something was wrong.
Why did the exact same [Option C] appear twice in such a short period of time? It was an option that would obviously trigger the death flag.
And it was the kind that did not change a single word?
Why?
This kind of option that could be eliminated at a glance, was it meaningful to appear twice?
Xia Wenhan did not have time to think carefully.
The girl in front of him suddenly moved.
She smiled slightly and elegantly twirled the sides of her short skirt with both hands.
No one would have guessed that there was an ultimate dark curtain hidden under the skirt, or some kind of secret that no one knew.
Suddenly.
As the girl smiled, she suddenly lifted up her skirt and flipped it upside down, revealing a mysterious scene.
Xia Wenhan: "???"
