Chapter 35 Cold Heart (4)

“After you have determined the answer, please fill it in on the whiteboard in front of you. In addition, no one can exchange answers during this session. Be careful not to be caught by me, or you will be punished~”

“Now, let’s start answering the questions.”

The wax figure boy stopped after saying this in a childish voice, tilted his head, gently stroked the cold organism on his shoulder, and sat on a small stool to shake his feet.

Such an innocent action, if it weren’t for the little face with blood and paleness, and the black and gold snake that kept swimming beside the face, the players really thought it was someone’s child who accidentally walked in here.

After he finished asking questions, the players fell into thinking.

There was no clue to the answer to this question. There was no general direction for the answer. It seemed that many answers could be adapted, reasonable and feasible, but in general there was no specific standard answer.

For example, Xiaojie’s parents don’t let him open the door of the basement, maybe because there are some unspeakable things hidden inside, something that can declare his parents guilty, corpses, bloodstains, or maybe there is a living person hidden in the basement.

Thinking more divergently, maybe Xiaojie’s parents are raising terrible monsters, or studying viruses that destroy the world.

A female player raised her hand cautiously and asked, expressing the confusion in the players’ hearts, “Is the answer to this question unique?”

The wax figure boy seemed to be in a good mood, hummed twice, and answered kindly, “Yes.”

The players were immediately shocked, it was still the only answer, how to guess it?

“Friendly reminder, you still have three minutes.”

Lin Sheng subconsciously glanced at Bai You, her silver-gray hair glowed faintly in the dim light, she lowered her eyes, the pen in her hand moved slightly, accompanied by the sound of writing, it seemed that she had the answer.

Did she have the answer so soon…?

Bai You, who had just put away her pen, noticed the sight and raised her eyes. Seeing that Lin Sheng and Chu Yu were both at a loss, she nodded in understanding and then looked at the wax figure boy.

“Is there anyone in the basement?”

Her voice was neither light nor heavy, and her voice was clear and light. Just this one sentence shocked the other players and they all looked at her.

What is she doing? Is this allowed?

If you think about it, you will know that the NPC cannot answer such a question! Isn’t this courting death?

Cheng Qinglan, who was far away, squinted at her and was also a little surprised. She didn’t expect that the silver-haired female player who often appeared in the limited-time dungeon in the rumors would be so reckless.

It seems that she is just an ordinary little girl.

Lin Sheng opened her mouth and couldn’t speak.

Although her style of behavior can be seen from her previous behavior of kicking the door directly…

But, sister, there is no need for us to be so brave and come up to ask the invigilator for the reference answer directly?

Chu Yu also looked at her in shock, his eyes met with Lin Sheng’s, both of them had “finished” and “to be sent” in their eyes, and they all put down their pens and waited for the verdict.

Just when the air fell into a dead silence and the players thought Bai You was about to be punished, the wax figure boy suddenly laughed and uttered the words slowly.

“Yes.”

Player: “……??!”

You really can ask? !

Bai You looked like he was not surprised at all, he bent his knuckles and tapped the whiteboard on the table twice, casually turned the pen on his knuckles, and threw it to the dazed Lin Sheng.

Then Bai You walked over calmly in front of everyone, the glass door opened as she approached, and the girl’s figure disappeared behind the glass, indicating that the answer she wrote on the whiteboard-

It is correct! !

Suddenly, the players’ eyes were all focused on the whiteboard she left behind.

If I could find a way to see it…

Yes, even after Bai You had set this precedent, no player was willing to take the risk, and instead set their sights on the whiteboard she left behind.

Lin Sheng, who took the pen in a panic, was a little stunned when he saw the piece of glass where Bai You had disappeared.

They were both close to Bai You, so they all knew that her answer had been written before she asked the question. Since she already knew the correct answer, there was no need to ask such a question, so her behavior of asking the question was obviously for-

Lin Sheng pursed his lips, raised his eyes and looked at Chu Yu, and saw the same idea in each other’s eyes.

Chu Yu was impatient and asked the first question: “Did Xiaojie’s parents commit any crime?”

The wax figure boy had already changed his posture, and the black snake behind him disappeared. He held his chin with both hands, squinted his eyes and smiled, and his childish voice slowly spoke.

“Yes.”

Lin Sheng paused, sorted out his thoughts, and then said without hesitation: “Excuse me, is the person in the basement a corpse?”

“No.”

If it’s not a corpse, it means the person in the basement is alive.

In an instant, Lin Sheng’s hair trembled, and his mind thought of various imprisonment and crimes.

Imagine that there is a living person hidden in the basement of the house where you live every day, and it has been unknown for so many years. What did Xiaojie’s parents do…?

[Warning, there are only 90 seconds left before the cleaning mode is turned on, please pay attention to it, players]

The system’s time warning is imminent, Lin Sheng frowned and tried his best to think.

“Ah–!”

Suddenly there was a scream, Lin Sheng turned his head to look at the source of the sound, and just saw that the player had several feather arrows stuck in his body. He did not immediately turn into white light and die. The parts hit by the feather arrows were not fatal. According to the blood flow rate, it would take at least half an hour to really leave.

His hideous and twisted expression clearly told everyone the pain he was enduring.

The wax figure girl stood there calmly with a bow in one hand, casually scanning the players.

No player will forget the excellent perception system of this game. When the pain perception cannot be lowered, being shot by a feather arrow like this, the sour feeling can be imagined.

“Cheating is not the behavior of a good boy.” The wax figure boy blinked his eyes.

[Warning, there are only 60 seconds left before the cleaning mode is turned on, please pay attention to it]

Cheating to see the answer does not work, so the players put their hopes on asking questions. After all, there are already three players who have successfully asked questions.

“Are his parents human traffickers?”

“No.”

“Does the basement have a special purpose?”

“No.”

“Is the basement completely sealed?”

“No.”

“Is Xiaojie their biological child?”

“Yes.”

“…”

[Warning, there are only 30 seconds left before the cleaning mode starts, please pay attention]

As the players asked a variety of questions, Lin Sheng’s mind became more and more confused, and he couldn’t sort out his thoughts. What happened in the basement? He held the pen tightly, and suddenly Bai You’s little move before leaving suddenly emerged in his mind.

Before throwing the pen to him, the girl bent her fingers and tapped the whiteboard as if unintentionally.

Lin Sheng recalled this action and tried to do it himself, bending his fingers and tapping the whiteboard.

Chu Yu, who was also lying on the table and was in a state of panic, turned his head to see his action. He didn’t react at first, but suddenly exclaimed and his eyes widened.

–

The black snake slowly coiled on the leather chair, spitting out its bright red tongue a few times. Its golden pupils flashed with cold light, staring straight at the girl in front of it, with an unfriendly look, as if she would be bitten by its fangs in the next moment and become its pitiful prey.

Bai You stared at it, without any fear on her face. On the contrary, her eyes seemed to be sizing up some goods.

After staring at each other for a while, she suddenly squatted down and easily caught it with one hand.

Before the black snake could react, its entire body was mercilessly thrown onto the carpet in the next second.

The girl sank into the leather chair, sighing comfortably, and even squinting her eyes, “This chair is still comfortable to sit on. The small bench on the first floor is too uncomfortable.”

The black snake: “?”

It is a venomous snake with such strong venom that it will die immediately if bitten. Can you be more respectful to it?

The black snake swam and climbed onto the armrest of the leather chair again, deliberately spitting out its tongue, opening its mouth wide, revealing its cold fangs, and its golden pupils were full of intimidation.

Bai You was happy, and very cooperatively stretched out her thin white arm to its mouth, “Come, bite it for you.”

The black snake: “…”

The snake opened its mouth and stalemated with Bai You for a long time, and finally compromised, carefully stepped back to avoid accidentally touching her with its fangs, and then closed its mouth.

The black snake was so frustrated, but there was nothing it could do to her. If the owner knew that it had bitten her, it would say nothing and wait for death. So it could only turn its head away and retaliate by slapping her arm with the tip of its tail.

Bai You took advantage of the situation and grabbed the tip of its tail and touched it upwards. To be honest, it felt great, with smooth, round, and icy scales, and it was very shiny.

It was not the same feeling as petting a cat, but Bai You’s years of cat petting skills were not in vain. He slowly moved along the scales and knuckles, stroking the snake’s chin, and slowly the black snake began to fall into this gentle place.

Until Bai You’s fingers were around the tip of the tail, and accidentally touched the place more than ten centimeters above the tail.

Mo snake: “!!”

The snake pulled out its tail at once, swam down the leather chair, and fled.

Bai You glanced at the time, and it was almost five minutes away. She was waiting here just to wait for Lin Sheng and the others. She tried her best to give the prompts, and if they couldn’t answer, she really had no choice.

But… Bai You still had some trust in Lin Sheng’s IQ, otherwise she wouldn’t have waited here.

[Warning: The first floor cleaning mode has been turned on]

“Ding!”

The elevator door slowly opened, revealing two familiar figures.

Lin Sheng, who looked scared, and Chu Yu, who was patting him on the back and teasing him, walked out of the elevator and instantly became energetic when they saw Bai You.

Chu Yu laughed happily and shared with her what had just happened: “You didn’t see that the time was up just now. Those who answered the questions wrong forcibly broke the glass, but were trapped in the stairs. Hahahaha!”

Lin Sheng touched his nose. In fact, he didn’t expect that the stairs behind the glass were a trap. Breaking it forcibly would trigger the mechanism. The real way was to take the elevator.

“But thanks to you, we can answer correctly, otherwise we will end up like them.” Chu Yu thanked sincerely and blinked, “But I didn’t expect the answer to be so simple. We fell into a thinking error and created a problem for ourselves.”

Lin Sheng also sighed. Yes, he was thinking about what Xiaojie saw when he entered the basement, but never thought of another possibility.

It was thanks to her little action of knocking on the door that he realized the importance of this “door” and reacted.

In the end, the answer to this question is——

【Xiaojie saw the world outside the basement】
