Chapter 3 The first scene of a close call
"Let the game start!"
If you have books, you will be long, and if you don’t have books, you will be short.
Although it seems that it took them a long time to commemorate Zhou You, it was actually only 4 minutes.
"I'll say first, if there is anything wrong, you can add it." Time is precious, Zhong Lihao didn't want to waste time anymore, so he started talking on his own without waiting for Ying Chou to answer.
"This game is actually not difficult. The only difficulty is also the only hint, 'Combining the activity axis in a way that suits your personality'. Since Jigsaw said that, if we use the method that is not in line with our personality, it would be equivalent to the failure of the game. But it is difficult to define what kind of method is in line with our personality. Is it impossible for me to do anything in this game because I am lazy? Only you can complete it alone, and it is in line with our personality?"
"I have thought about this, but it is not necessarily correct. If you are too lazy to live. Or I am arrogant and don't believe in Jigsaw. There may be too many such things, and I still lack a crucial clue." Although I said less clue, there was no worry on Yingchou's face.
"Just lacking a clue? That's why most of it has been deduced. It's worthy of being the Queen. Tell me quickly, don't keep it. This chair is uncomfortable. I miss my sofa a little." Zhong Lihao didn't care about Ying Chou's rebuttal, but looked surprised. With his understanding of Ying Chou, if she was not sure about something, she would never say it.
"It's almost the reasoning, but the missing clue needs your help." Ying Chou accepted Zhong Lihao's flattery, but she would not hang her pride on her face like Zhong Lihao. "If you separate arrogance and laziness so much that it's nothing, but if you put it together, there's only one answer." At this point, Ying Chou paused intentionally.
"Seven Deadly Sins!" Faced with Ying Chou's deliberate pause, Zhong Lihao also cooperated very well, saying these three words loudly like a primary school student answering a teacher's question.
"This is where I need your help. Even the emperor's memory is amazed. Take out the knowledge reserves of Baidu when you are idle."
"Well..." After hearing this, Zhong Lihao wanted to refute the point of "I'm idle and nothing", but after thinking about it, he still gave up, for fear that he would be "cut" by Ying Chou later.
"Laziness: the loss caused by escaping desire, laziness and waste is the product of the sin of laziness."
"Arrogance: a desire for excellence, self-obsession caused by excessive self-confidence, and feeling that you are superior to others everywhere is arrogant."
"The explanations in Dante's "Divine Comedy" are similar."
“Lazy: lazy and wasting time.”
“Arrogance: expect others to look at themselves or overlove themselves. Feel superior to others because of possession, positioning themselves as a better presence than God or others.”
"You are really human-like Baidu."
Ying Chou also has to admire Zhong Lihao's inhuman memory that gave the answer without thinking.
"If this is the case, the focus of laziness should be on waste. The focus of arrogance is that he is too self-aware." After thinking for a while, Yingchou had almost no time to sort out the information Zhong Lihao just mentioned, and followed this clue to string up the entire puzzle.
"In other words, I am better than you. I think your IQ is not helpful to this game at all. I just hope you don't hold back." Speaking of this, Ying Chou curled his lips, looking disdainful. He didn't know if he was mocking Zhong Lihao, or if he thought this game was too pediatric and had no difficulty.
"What about my laziness? Although it feels like it coincides, I always feel that something is missing?" Zhong Lihao raised his own question. For Yingchou's words to automatically filter out "I'm too conscious" and slander his own behavior, he could only express his courage to be angry but not speak out.
After hearing about Zhong Lihao's question, Ying Chou was silent for a while, and with a little hesitation, he said, "A waste of time."
"Uh." After hearing what Ying Chou said, Zhong Lihao's face froze unnaturally.
"Would you like to bet?" Ying Chou's indifferent words floated into Zhong Lihao's ears leisurely.
"Isn't there any other way around this?" Zhong Lihao smiled slightly, and did not say anything nonsense like "Are you sure?", as if the bet used in this big bet was not his life.
After receiving Zhong Lihao's answer, Ying Chou felt a little moved. After all, not many people were willing to use their lives to bet on other people's guesses.
"I started to count the timing when Jigsaw said 'life or death, make your choice'. Now 7 minutes and 46 seconds have passed. I am not sure how much time is wasted is considered a standard for passing the test, so we need to get out of the trap at the last moment and the last second."
"How did you count the timing?" Zhong Lihao asked hesitantly, and his intuition told him that he would definitely be despised by Ying Chou when he asked this sentence.
As Zhong Lihao expected, Ying Chou rolled his eyes speechlessly, thinking that Zhong Lihao's question was very idiotic.
"Of course I'm reciting silently. Don't worry, I have practiced it specifically. Compared to the timing method of pulse, which is unreliable as long as you get excited or exercise, my reciting silently can be 100% accurate."
"Well... are you sure you are a human?" If Zhong Lihao could see Ying Chou's face at this time, he would definitely look at her with a monster-looking expression.
"I have known you for more than 20 years but haven't killed you, a bitch, which means I'm very human." Whether it's a 'bitter' or 'kill', Ying Chou said it for granted, as if it was an honor to be killed by her, and it was indeed arrogance.
"Well...thank you..." If it weren't for the handcuffs, Zhong Lihao would have wiped the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead.
"There are pulleys on the feet of this chair, and there are fixed pulley tracks on the ground, so it is easy to merge the chairs as long as you calm down. Haha... I have to say that it was a great blessing to not kill us just now because of your laughter." Ying Chou was halfway through, suddenly remembering what had happened before, and mocking Zhong Lihao without hesitation. "At 9 minutes and 54 seconds, I will lean forward, put the center in front, and then sit down the chair hard, so that it can be merged. It is estimated that it only takes 2 seconds and 3 seconds as a fault tolerance backup. If no accidents occur, we will wait 3 seconds. The remaining 1 second is enough for us to leave safely. You just need to maintain the current strength and don't drag me back."
Zhong Lihao asked with a confused look on his face: "What should I do with handcuffs?"
"Are you an idiot? I didn't hear Jigsaw say that as long as the chairs are merged in line with our personality, you can survive. So, at that time, either the chairs fly out with us, or the iron comb will be opened."
Zhong Lihao asked carefully: "What if it is delayed?"
Compared to him, Yingchou is much more straightforward.
"Didn't I stay for 3 seconds? If the delay exceeds 3 seconds, then I'll die."
"Hey, hey, really..."
Before Zhong Lihao could finish his words, Ying Chou said directly, "Time is up!" and sat down on the chair without hesitation.
Just like Ying Chou's speculation, she merged the backs of the two iron chairs in just 2 seconds, but this was far from time to time to breathe a sigh of relief.
Maybe it's because the jigsaw wants to add some thrilling elements, or maybe the jigsaw wants the player to consider all the issues including delays, and the mechanism is just as Zhong Lihao said...
Delayed!
Tick!
The first second!
Since the possibility of delay has been considered, everyone, whether it is Yingchou or Zhong Lihao, was extremely calm at this time.
Tick!
Second second!
A sense of anxiety gradually came to the hearts of the two of them. At the same time, a touch of emerald color and a touch of purple flashed faintly in the pupils of Zhonglihao and Yingchou.
Tick!
The third second!
It’s okay to say the first second, but the next two seconds are like two centuries for the two people sitting on the iron chair. At this moment, for the two people, the word "sitting" is no longer an adjective!
Click!
The sound of two mechanisms opening echoing in the open basement. One of them was the sound of the steel needle mechanism under the two men starting! The other sound seemed extremely obscure compared to the former, and it sounded at the same time as the former, which was almost mistaken for the same.
The iron copy is opened!
And the steel needle was also shot out at the same time!
At this time, Zhong Lihao and Ying Chou were in danger of life. As long as there was even half a second hesitation, they would die on the iron chair!
As quiet as a virgin, as moving as a rabbit!
This sentence is used to describe Zhonglihao and Yingchou at this moment, which is the most suitable one.
The two of them did not hesitate at all when they felt the iron cob being opened. They directly supported the handrail with both hands. With the force of interaction, they flew forward. In less than half a second, they safely left the range where the steel needle was.
clang!
A critical moment!
Almost as the two of them left the steel needle area, a sound that made people feel sour, came from behind them in vain!
The steel needle ejected out, reaching two meters long, and effortlessly penetrated the two iron chairs instantly. The cold light flashed at the tip of the steel needle made the two people who had just landed on the ground feel a chill on their backs.
Scream...
About 3 seconds later, the steel needle retracted again, and another harsh sound was heard. The steel needle passed through the hole of the iron chair and completely retracted under the ground.
"I'll go, Qiuxin, fortunately your timing is completely correct, otherwise we will be blasted!" Zhong Lihao, who stared at this scene with wide eyes and clearly saw this scene, felt only two chills.
They reserved 3 seconds for fault tolerance backup, while Tieco was delayed by 3 seconds. In other words, Yingchou's silent recitation timing was accurate to seconds, completely correct!
It is precisely because they are too correct that they feel like they are walking around in front of the gate of hell, but this is also helpless. No one knows how long the jigsaw requires. It is indeed the most dangerous to delay it to the last second, but it is also the safest way.
"..." Ying Chou didn't say anything, but just lay quietly on the ground with a little fatigue.
Seeing this, Zhong Lihao was also rare to say nothing. He was also lying on the ground. Although the first game did not consume any physical strength, the mental pressure made the two feel a little tired, and they just wanted to take a little longer.
Click!
The sound of the rotation of the mechanism appeared again, this time from the boundless darkness.
The two of them were like frightened birds, a carp thrust, quickly getting up and looking in the direction where the sound came.
The direction Zhong Lihao and Ying Chou looked at was an empty space. The open space was exactly one meter away from the two iron chairs. With the faint light above the heads, the two could clearly see the open space. If they were a little ten centimeters away, they would not be able to see so clearly.
The two of them stared at the open space intently. After five seconds, they could not see any new movements in the open space.
However, just as Zhong Lihao was planning to look away from his eyes and observe that there was a new change in the open space.
The floor of the open space opened silently under the surprised eyes of the two people. At the same time, a sound similar to a lift came into Zhonglihao and Yingchou's ears.
Zhong Lihao looked at Ying Chou in confusion, and Ying Chou gave him a 'I don't know' expression.
Just as the two of them were puzzled and wanted to go forward to investigate, the jigsaw suddenly slowly rose from under the floor, and it rose very slowly.
Snap...
After the sound of closing the door came out, the jigsaw and the things under it were finally fully displayed in front of Zhong Lihao and Ying Chou.
"The technology is good." Zhong Lihao looked at the ground in amazement, and there was not even a gap there, as if the floor was originally one.
"Jigsaw, are you losing weight? But I think it's impossible to use your body material." No matter how you observe it, it's useless. Zhong Lihao looked away boredly and looked at the thing under the Jigsaw. It was a scale, the size of a square meter. "But I still support you mentally."
Chapter completed!
