24 hours to save the world

Zhu Shijiu raised his head from despair.

He was like a traveler who was stuck deep in the desert and suddenly found an oasis, with the hope of survival in front of him.

He asked: "Why?"

Obviously this man didn't want to believe what he said, and he was ready to ruin this whole project, but why did this man choose to give him a chance?

"I said, I want humanity to have hope."

The man's words were very calm, but the meaning behind them made Zhu Shijiu's heart feel cold.

He has deeply understood the terror of this man, yet such a terrifying man places the heavy responsibility of "the hope of mankind" on him, a false "predictor of the future" who is full of lies.

... He felt - there was deep pessimism and despair hidden behind the words of this seemingly determined man.

How powerful is the enemy of the world?

Zhu Shijiu did not continue to think about this possibility, because the man said: "Come on, as long as you can tell exactly what I put on the table, I will take off your blindfold and believe that you can predict it." future."

He was interrupted from his thoughts.

The key now is to guess the objects on the table. As long as he correctly guesses what is on the table, he can convince the other party that he is a person with super powers who can predict the future, and he can prevent the doomsday that will come in eight hours.

...Zhu Shijiu smiled sadly, how could he guess this?

"How many chances do I have?"

"Once. You want me to believe that you can predict the future, instead of making me believe that you can guess it by elimination."

Zhu Shijiu smiled bitterly and asked again: "If I fail, will you tell me the answer?"

"No." The middle-aged man replied, looking very cold. "If you are not right, I will not tell you any information. I have said that I will not let any enemy know the information he wants, including This 'little game' I played with you."

"Grass." Zhu Shijiu's heart was full of thoughts of collapse.

His whole body was numb.

Although it is an unexpected surprise that things have come to this point, there is no point if you can't guess. If this man would tell him the answer after he failed to guess correctly, then he would definitely start the next game directly. But it is really unimaginable that this man is so cautious.

He couldn't wait for the next round. He had to know the information he wanted before dying in this round. Otherwise, he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to reproduce his superb acting skills in the next round without any abnormalities.

"How long do I have?" Zhu Shijiu confirmed.

The man was silent for a while, seeming to be thinking, and then said: "The time is now two forty-five, and until nine o'clock, you have six hours and fifteen minutes. I hope your ability to predict the future can be used in these six more hours." It works."

"Why only nine o'clock?" Zhu Shijiu noticed this number.

The middle-aged man did not answer, but said coldly: "You still have six hours and fourteen minutes."

Grass.

Zhu Shijiu's brain began to spin crazily.

What did he put on the table? He couldn't see anything, but he heard the sound of a man putting something on the table.

Gada.

At least it's definitely a hard object.

Are these few clues enough? Of course it's not enough.

"I said that my ability to predict the future is not controllable, so..."

The man replied: "Don't say that again, I will wait no matter how long it takes. If you waste time in this boring conversation, then you will be executed at nine o'clock."

It's not a boring conversation.

Zhu Shijiu thought.

He was wondering why this man chose nine o'clock to decide the final result. The simplest answer that can be thought of is that he only has enough time until nine o'clock.

From nine o'clock to ten o'clock, during this hour, the Black Soldier Organization prepares to fight against the enemy of the world. This is information that is worth it even if I die this week.

The more important question now is, in this case, how can you accurately guess what is on the table?

Zhu Shijiu calmed down.

The biggest benefit that learning bow and arrow brings to him is not the improvement of combat power, but the way to quickly enter a calm state. With the addition of calm mind, all complicated thoughts were put aside.

He concentrated on thinking about this seemingly impossible question.

But is it really impossible to answer?

not necessarily.

Naturally, he thought of the experience of being interrogated in the fourth week.

At that time, it was the first time he saw a middle-aged man, and of course it was also the last time.

Li Hua asked him to remember the man who caused him to die tragically, so he remembered it. Including his appearance, it also naturally includes his clothes and the items he can see carrying on his body.

He still remembered that the middle-aged man was wearing a black coat, with a suit similar to business attire and a slim-fitting vest underneath. His wide and tall frame made the clothes he wore very powerful.

He remembered that the man had something similar to a walkie-talkie hanging around his waist, and he was not holding anything in his hand. So was it the walkie-talkie?

This is just a possibility.

He could only infer from the information he had at hand. He couldn't even determine whether the man had changed his clothes during this week, or had taken something specifically to play this test with him. If that was the case, then no matter how he guessed, it would be useless.

So he just hoped that this thing was something in his memory.

Walkie talkie…

I could only guess this without knowing anything.

Nothing can be done.

Want to bet?

Want it?

Zhu Shijiu was about to answer, but suddenly, he forcibly stopped himself.

An image flashed through his mind.

When I was talking to the man just now, the man said casually-"You still have six hours and fourteen minutes."

This is the countdown.

The man casually stated his remaining time.

This proves that men can see the time anytime, anywhere.

There was no clock in the interrogation room.

In the fourth episode, when Zhu Shijiu was being tortured by taking off his blindfold, he specifically confirmed this in order to confirm the time of the doomsday. There was no equipment in the interrogation room that could determine the time, and he could not even accurately determine the time of the doomsday. confirm.

At this time, his memories came flooding back.

He also thought of one thing - thanks to the man's wave every time he asked his subordinates to activate the current, Zhu Shijiu clearly remembered that there was not even a watch on that hand. And on the fourth week, he asked the man the time again and again, but the man never answered.

So how does he confirm the time now?

What is placed on the table is a device that allows men to see the time anytime and anywhere.

What is it?

Is it a timer, a watch, an alarm clock, or something else?

There are many things that can show time, but he only has one chance.

In the silent air, Zhu Shijiu listened intently.

There was no sound of the second hand ticking.

Probably not a watch or alarm clock.

So is it a mobile phone?

Do you want to answer this way?

Zhu Shijiu opened his mouth.

no.

He can't answer like this. He only has one chance in this game. If he guesses wrong, even if it is a perfect replica without any butterfly effect, he will also have only one chance in the next game...

He can't guarantee that next week he will be able to get here without any deviation.

So in order to end this week as much as possible, he thought of the second way to answer.

——"I saw the future of my death."

Zhu Shijiu murmured.

"..."

The middle-aged man remained silent.

Zhu Shijiu said: "The future I saw was that I said the answer 'mobile phone', but the answer was wrong."

This was the flawless answer that Zhu Shijiu came up with in a flash of inspiration.

The middle-aged man said that he could only have one chance to guess.

But Zhu Shijiu thought of a more ingenious way to circumvent this rule.

That's the opposite answer like above.

If the thing placed on the table is a mobile phone, it proves that his ability to predict the future is fake, because the content of his prediction is the future where "he answered the phone but guessed wrong".

Then men should end this test immediately.

But if the man ended the test immediately, then Zhu Shijiu would know the answer to the test - the thing placed on the table was a mobile phone.

In this way, he will be able to answer this question perfectly in the next week.

But if the thing placed on the table is not a mobile phone, then it matches his "prophecy" and he foresaw a future with "failure results". The middle-aged man couldn't end the test at all, because his prediction was correct and the thing on the table was indeed not a mobile phone.

In this way, it is impossible to falsify the proposition that he has the superpower to predict the future!

And since Zhu Shijiu didn't answer directly, he never used up his only one chance to answer.

If it's not a mobile phone, then after confirmation, he can guess a second time!
