Day of Imprisonment

Ke Lan took a deep breath, held the phone in his hand, and walked towards the three masked figures who were standing motionless.

Qian Fatty and Liu Mao were staring at the blackboard, their faces filled with confusion.

"Is there a solution to this problem? It's impossible to even ask it, because I don't even know if 'Woof woof' represents the correct answer, or if 'Meow meow' does. What's more, there's a character in there who can answer however they want. Isn't this nonsense? I wouldn't be able to figure this out even if I thought about it for a year, but this place is a timed challenge, and we'll fail if we exceed the time limit," Qian Fatty complained.

He was truly anxious because he couldn't figure it out.

In his opinion, this problem was unsolvable.

Brother Mao looked confused, staring at the blackboard. Soon, he covered his face and shook his head, giving up completely.

Seeing Ke Lan approaching, the two perked up.

Even if Ke Lan couldn't solve this problem, Luo Xi certainly could.

Ke Lan glanced at the three masked figures, and then said to the one in the middle, "For the first question, I want to ask the person in the middle!"

The next moment, the person in the middle nodded and took a step forward.

"If I asked you, 'Is the person to your left

Cunning

?', would you answer

Woof woof

'?"

Qian Fatty and Brother Mao were completely bewildered, their faces still blank.

Ke Lan was also very nervous. At this moment, he kept recalling Luo Xi's instructions.

"Ke Lan, when you ask that person this question, the answer will inevitably be one of two possibilities: 'Woof woof' or 'Meow meow'. This leads to two possibilities. First, this masked person is inherently

Cunning

, then their answer is meaningless. The second possibility is that you are talking to

Honesty

or

Lies

. If the answer is

Woof woof

', then it means that the hypothetical question we asked is correct, and the person to their left is

Cunning

. Regardless of the situation, you can be sure that the person to their right is not

Cunning

. So, for the second question, you must ask the person who has already been determined not to be

Cunning

."

The masked person who stepped forward seemed to pause for a moment, and then gave an answer.

"Woof woof!"

Ke Lan took a deep breath. He felt uneasy, and although this feeling was confusing, it was extremely stimulating.

The problem in this tenth room completely exceeded the limits of his ability to analyze, but Luo Xi still seemed to be handling it with ease.

So, was Luo Xi's analysis correct?

The answer would be revealed soon.

"Remember, the second question is to ask the person who has already been determined not to be

Cunning

."

At this moment, Luo Xi's voice and Ke Lan's question coincided perfectly.

He asked the person on the right, "If I asked you, 'Are you

Lies

?', would you answer

Woof woof

'?"

The masked person on the right answered, "Meow meow!"

Ke Lan glanced at this masked person, and in his mind, he had already labeled them. This masked person on the right was

Honesty

.

Ke Lan couldn't understand the principle for the time being, but Luo Xi had said that if the first question determined which of the three people was definitely not

Cunning

', then the second question could determine whether this person who was not

Cunning

was

Honesty

or

Lies

.

The criterion was the second question: 'If I asked you,

Are you

Lies

?", would you answer

Woof woof

?'

"Then the last question is to determine which of the remaining two people is

Cunning

and which is

Lies

. This can only be asked of the last person!"

Ke Lan looked at the masked person on the left.

"For the third question, if I asked you, 'Is the person in the middle

Cunning

?', would you answer

Woof woof

'?"

"Meow meow!"

"Heh, thank you!"

At this time, Ke Lan walked to the blackboard and wrote the answer on it.

"The person on the left is Cunning, the person in the middle is Lies, and the person on the right is Honesty!"

After writing, he threw away the chalk.

The next moment, with a click, the exit door opened.

"We got it right?" Qian Fatty was stunned, a little disbelieving. He glanced at the blackboard and reviewed the three questions Ke Lan had just asked in his mind. He was as bewildered and horrified as a native seeing an airplane for the first time.

For him, this problem had transcended his dimension.

"Let's go!" Ke Lan knew that Luo Xi wanted them to do something and was pressed for time, so he didn't delay for a moment and led the way out of the tenth room. Outside, the administrator of this level's scene was distributing the clearance rewards with an unhappy face.

Each person received 3 [Memory] cards, plus 1 chance to draw a card.

It can be said that this clearance reward was quite generous.

But similarly, if they couldn't clear the level within the specified time, not only would they lose the 1 [Memory] card for the ticket, but they would also be killed by all the poisonous gas sprayed from the room.

Ke Lan and the others didn't delay, and immediately left after receiving the rewards.

"Let's go, take a taxi to that 'Haunted Building' we went to before. Fatty, you know the place, tell the driver the route later." After Ke Lan finished speaking, he fell silent, as if he was meditating. He lowered his head, moved his fingers, and muttered to himself.

"What's wrong with this guy?" Qian Fatty whispered to Brother Mao, who glanced at him and said, "I guess he's thinking about that problem."

"Hey, if you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Why bother yourself? We should eat and drink, and never dwell on troubles!" Qian Fatty took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lit one comfortably.

They hailed a taxi and quickly headed towards the location of the "Haunted Building."

After coming out of that scene, Ke Lan hung up the phone, and Qian Fatty and Brother Mao had no idea why they were going to that scene.

But it didn't matter; Ke Lan would tell them when they arrived.

On the way, for more than ten minutes, Ke Lan was like a lost soul. He even took out a pen and a piece of paper halfway and wrote and drew on it. Brother Mao, who was sitting next to him, secretly glanced at it and found that the paper was full of words like 'Honesty', 'Lies', 'Woof woof', and 'Meow meow'.

He was drawing circles and connecting lines, and he was like a madman.

Sometimes Ke Lan would stare, sometimes he would laugh strangely, or suddenly twitch and scribble on the paper.

Brother Mao glanced at Qian Fatty, who was sitting in the passenger seat, leaned over, and lowered his voice: "Do you think, Little Ke Lan might be, going crazy?"

"No, no, he likes to use his brain. He's solving a problem. It's okay, he'll give up if he can't figure it out," Qian Fatty said nonchalantly.

They arrived at their destination.

After paying the taxi fare and dragging Ke Lan out, the three walked to the entrance of the "Haunted Building" scene.

At this moment, the entrance was tightly closed, and the room that originally had elementary school students was also closed. The place was empty, and there seemed to be no one there at all.

"We're here, but it seems the scene is closed, and we can't get in," Qian Fatty glanced at Ke Lan and found that his expression was strange, like Dong Zhuo seeing Diao Chan without clothes. It could be said that he was 'beaming with joy' and extremely excited.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ is ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

"Haha, I finally understand, understand, so that's how it is!" Ke Lan roared wildly, truly like a madman.

"Little Ke Lan, are you really okay?" Brother Mao went over to pat him on the back, truly afraid that this guy would faint.

"Me? I'm fine, I'm very good. Hey, are we here?" Ke Lan looked up and realized that he had already arrived at the entrance of the "Haunted Building", and immediately remembered what Luo Xi had instructed him on the phone before.

"Let's get down to business." Ke Lan took a deep breath: "Luo Xi just called me to tell us to hurry to the administrator's room in the 'Haunted Building' and find a way to get in."

"What's Luo Ju's plan?" Qian Fatty asked curiously.

"I don't know either. He just instructed us to open the room at all costs."

"Okay, since it's Luo Ju's intention, then I, Fatty, will risk my life to pry open the door." Qian Fatty was very serious and earnest when doing things. He immediately walked to the door and peeked inside.

"No one? Where did that arrogant little brat go?" Qian Fatty asked curiously.

"Luo Xi must have his purpose. He knows that there's no one here. Perhaps he knows the administrator's location now, so he's confidently letting us come," Ke Lan also looked around, then summoned his card book and took out a [Lockpick] card.

He used it on the locked door.

Crack!

The card turned into a stream of light, but the door didn't open as he had hoped.

At the same time, a majestic and threatening voice sounded in several people's minds.

"This is the administrator's private residence. Attempting to pick the lock, break down the door, or other behaviors are violations of the scene rules. Leave immediately, or you will bear the consequences!"

It was like a protection mechanism.

If someone approached, touched, or tried to pick the lock, they would receive this voice warning.

"Continue using Lockpick," Ke Lan ignored the warning.

He only had one [Lockpick] card left in his hand, and Fatty had just drawn one before, so next, the two used them separately. Finally, with the cumulative effect of three [Lockpick] cards, the door was finally opened.

"It's done!" Qian Fatty reached out and pulled open the security door.

The three each took out their weapons. Two sneaked in, and one guarded the door.

Soon, Qian Fatty ran out of the house with a wonderful expression: "Come in and take a look, there's a big discovery!"

Ke Lan went in, and in one of the bedrooms, he saw a person tied to a chair.

It was the old man in the vest and shorts from the beginning.

According to the Awakened Association, this was the administrator of the previous scene, but for some reason today, that elementary school student came to take over.

"What should we do? Do we want to..." At this time, Qian Fatty made a gesture of reaching out and chopping down.

The meaning was whether to kill him to silence him.

Obviously, the three of them had sneaked in by prying open the door, but they found the previous administrator inside.

He had seen them, so they should kill him to silence him.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I'll contact Luo Xi." Ke Lan walked out, took out his phone, and dialed.

He had already left the scene, so normal calls had resumed.

It rang for a while before it was answered.

"Luo Xi, we've arrived at the place and found a way to open the door, but inside we found..."

"Is that old man still alive?" Luo Xi on the other end of the phone didn't seem surprised at all.
