Chapter 171 is all about giving propositions
On the stone platform, there was a golden balance, and a black cat nestled next to it. While it asked the first question, it stretched out its pink tongue and licked it. The claws looked completely bored.
But when this question fell on everyone's ears, it was like the greeting of the God of Death, as if the next moment, its sickle would cut on everyone's neck and harvest their souls.
The dark fog has become thinner, and the visibility has exceeded fifty meters, but the environment at the scene is still dim, and the silence is so heart-breaking.
There is also a jungle of cat-man statues with different postures, which seem to wake up at any time and pounce on everyone.
The man in black was asked the question, but everyone was thinking about this question because it might be their turn next.
"You have thirty seconds to think!"
The black cat's little paws patted the stone platform, which was counting down.
The man in black couldn't think of the answer at all, and looked to Lin Baici for help: "Master Lin, please help me?"
"Your life is yours, what do you think is right?" The answer!”
Lin Baici shook his head, he didn't know the answer.
“Silly O!”
The sales man cursed in his mind. The cannon fodder came to his door on his own initiative, why not use it?
Even if you are wrong, just use him to eliminate a wrong answer.
In fact, Lin Baici has already considered this possibility, because there are only a few answers that the man in black can choose. If the answer is wrong, one will be eliminated.
"Time's up, answer!"
The black cat urged.
“Zero…zero!”
The man in black replied tremblingly.
“What did you say? Louder!”
Black Cat is unhappy.
“Are these cat statues considered cats?”
The man in black asked.
"The answer is wrong!"
The black cat was disgusted: "And I am asking you the question, forget it, it seems that you are also a fool, accept the punishment!"
"No, no, my answer is zero!"
The man in black was confused by the answer.
"Wrong answer!"
"Punishment!"
After the black cat finished speaking, he dialed the golden scale.
"Give me another chance!"
The man in black panicked. Suddenly, a woman's voice sounded in his ear.
"It's going to turn into a statue anyway, rush up and do it, and have a chance to survive!"
The man in black didn't dare, he hesitated, and after a few seconds, he finally said When he dared to give it a try, he found that his body could not move.
The crowd roared, as if encountering a savage beast, they all retreated away from the man in black.
Some parts of his skin were petrified, and black spots the size of coins appeared, and then spread rapidly, covering his whole body within a few seconds.
At the same time, a pair of cat ears grew on his head and a tail appeared behind his butt.
Crack!
The man in black turned into a cat-man statue, with a look of fear and panic frozen on his face, lifelike.
Song Huizhi shook her head. She said that with divine grace. She wanted to use the man in black to see if the black cat could be killed physically, but the guy was too timid.
"These cat-man statues are indeed transformed from living people. I wonder if they can be restored?"
Gu Qingqiu muttered in a low voice. He was very curious and couldn't help but move towards a statue and touch it with his hands. Touched.
Wow!
You still have body temperature?
“Does anyone recommend themselves?”
The black cat asked, scanning these people with a pair of spiritual cat eyes: "If you recommend yourself, you only need to answer three questions!"
No one answered.
Because if this kind of problem persists, everyone feels like they can just wait to die.
The black cat was not very happy and raised his little paw, ready to comment.
Many people began to hide behind others, trying to hide.
"Xiao Bai!"
Hua Yueyu did not hide, but just approached Lin Baici and hugged his arm.
The same is true for Jin Yingzhen.
Xia Hongyao stood beside Lin Baici carelessly.
Lin Baici couldn't help but curl his lips when he saw Song Huizhi and the young man hiding behind others.
Very cowardly!
Are you no longer worthy of being your own competitor?
As everyone knows, in the eyes of Song Huizhi and Bai Hegu, Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao are just two idiots. As divine hunters, you have superb combat power, why don't you take advantage of this?
Should we keep these cannon fodder for the New Year?
Lin Baici noticed that Gu Qingqiu didn’t hide either. This girl was actually groping for the statue.
"What are you hiding from?"
The black cat was unhappy and clicked its little paw three times: "You, you, you, come out and answer the questions."
The fishing guy, the card-issuing girl, and A boy wearing a jacket was slapped.
Cai Wenqi was almost scared to death.
She also hid next to Lin Baici, but luckily, the black cat didn't choose her.
"The first question is, how old do you think you can live?"
The question actually changed, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, because the question seemed quite simple.
"Eighty years old, right?"
This is the lowest expectation of the fishing guy. If he dies too early, he won't even receive much pension.
“Sixty!”
The girl who issued the card said something casually, but she hadn't actually thought about it.
“A hundred years old!”
The man in the jacket didn’t think about it, but he thought it should be higher.
"Well, except for this girl, it seems that they are all people who are full of longing for old life!"
Black Cat nodded: "You passed the test!"
When the three people heard this, they immediately became happy.
Others were surprised.
“Can you pass this test?”
The sales man felt that this question was too simple.
“Second question, are you willing to give me 20 years of life?”
Black Cat asked.
"Yes! I do!"
The girl who issued the card gave her answer as soon as she heard this sentence. She didn't even think about what if the black cat had another sentence.
Because she is so scared to death that if she is asked to leave this museum now, she is willing to shorten her life span by half.
The fishing guy hesitated.
Because everything that happened before him was so weird, he felt that this black cat could really steal his 20 years of life.
The older people get, the less they want to die!
However, the fishing guy feels that he can survive better if he pleases the other party.
“I do!”
The fishing guy laughed. He actually wanted to add that 30 years would be fine, but he didn’t dare.
The man in the jacket was only in his twenties, very young, and he didn't care about his 20-year lifespan. He didn't answer immediately because he was wondering if there was a trap in this question.
What if I don’t want to answer the question?
The black cat looked at the girl who issued the card and touched the cat's whiskers: "I am very satisfied with your attitude. I will take away 20 years of your life at the right time!"
" Okay! Okay! ”
The girl who issued the card nodded hurriedly
The black cat looked at the fisherman: "I seem to see your reluctance, so I decided to take away your twenty years of life immediately!"
The black cat dialed the golden scale.
Wow!
The scales shook up and down.
The fisherman's face changed, and then he felt as if he was being whipped by a syringe. All the energy and energy in his body was lost. He immediately became exhausted and his limbs were weak.
His skin was visibly aging, sagging, and had many age spots. His hair, which had not yet many gray hairs, turned white.
“Holy shit!”
Looking at the fisherman who suddenly looked old, everyone’s heart sank suddenly.
Isn’t this too scary?
The body of the man in the jacket began to tremble subconsciously. The fisherman was punished just for being a little slow in answering, but he didn't even answer.
"I am willing, I am willing, 30 years, 40 years will do!"
The black cat ignored the shouting man in the jacket.
"Fifty years, I..."
The man in the jacket was speechless because his jaw was petrified.
【This cat doesn’t care about how long it can live, it just wants to be pampered! 】
[The happier the answerer is, the happier the cat will be and will let him go. He may or may not come to take his lifespan in the future! 】
【But if you make it unhappy, it will immediately take away the life of the person who answered the question! 】
“Can you give it canned fish?”
In Lin Baici’s black alms bowl, there were some canned fish, which he kept for himself.
Now it seems that we need to prepare some more cat food and dog food.
[Smart, it will give you ten years of life! 】
The god praised.
“Really?”
Lin Baici raised his eyebrows. If he could gain a life span, then this sacred object would be very powerful.
【What are you dreaming about? Of course it’s fake! 】
[If you want to live longer, pay attention to your diet and exercise more! 】
“The third question, are you willing to be a cat?”
The black cat asked.
"Yes! Yes!"
The girl with hairpins who had tasted the sweetness responded immediately.
"Yes!"
The fishing guy has a long memory and does not dare to delay for even half a second.
"Very good, as you wish!"
The black cat happily patted the golden scale.
“What?”
The card-issuing girl and the fishing guy were dumbfounded. It wasn't really going to turn itself into a cat, was it?
The two of them guessed correctly, that’s what it meant.
The black cat stopped asking questions, but raised its little paw and picked people again.
“We are all willing, why do you want to turn us into cats?”
The fishing guy wailed: “Give us a chance!”
The girl who issued the card looked at Lin Baici: "Handsome guy, help!"
Lin Baici had no choice.
“Do you have to answer this question if you don’t want to?”
Xia Hongyao analysis.
“Probably not!”
Lin Baici concluded from Nagami's comments on the black cat's second question that the cat's question should have a lot to do with whether it is happy or not.
If you are happy, the problem will be easy, but if you are not happy, it will be difficult.
The girl who issued the card was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground crying and quickly turned to stone. The fishing guy rushed towards the black cat, intending to kill it in a last-ditch effort, but he failed to run a few steps and turned into a statue.
Everyone felt numb, feeling that this question was so difficult.
"What if they answer no?"
Gu Qingqiu suddenly spoke: "What will you do with them? Turn them into cat-man statues?"
Whoops!
Everyone looked over with shock on their faces.
You are so brave!
How dare you take the initiative to talk to that black cat?
Why!
I really hope that all the people present will die for me.
"Since you talk so much, why don't you answer it?"
The black cat looked at Gu Qingqiu.
"Qingqiu, can't you be less curious?"
Xia Hongyao was anxious: "You're going to die!"
"Ahem, I'm used to it!"
Gu Qingqiu sighed, she asked casually, but now that it's a big deal , don’t be afraid.
Lin Baici discovered that this girl, who was a bit sickly and frail like Lin Daiyu, was nervous, but not much afraid, and even a little eager to try.
【It was said that she was enjoying the excitement of walking on the edge of death! 】
"One person is too few, here are a few more!" The black cat's big jewel-like eyes swept over the crowd: "You three couples, come and answer the question!"
The black cat chose this time, They were three pairs of young men and women holding hands and leaning together. They looked like lovers at first glance.
"The first question, are you willing to be a cat?"
The black cat's paw tapped on the stone platform.
The three couples were desperate. Why did they come up with this proposal?
"Yes, I hope to become a cat in my next life and experience a different life."
Gu Qingqiu's answer was without hesitation, and everyone could see that this was her sincerity. In other words, she had considered similar issues.
For example, in the next life, he will become a cat, a bird, or even a bamboo...
What everyone doesn’t know is that when Gu Qingqiu was lying in the hospital bed as a child, he had not seen anything for several years. I thought about many things.
When the three couples heard Gu Qingqiu’s answer, they all gave the same answer
Take a gamble!
“…”
The black cat looked at Gu Qingqiu in silence.
Gu Qingqiu looked at Black Cat. She was not very panicked, but Xia Hongyao was worried about her.
"Xiao Linzi, help her, I like her and want her to be our teammate!"
In Xia Hongyao's view, Lin Baici had a very high IQ and could quickly find the correct answers to these questions.
"The second question, among cats and your partners, who would you choose to spend the rest of your life with?"
The black cat continued to ask questions, cheering everyone up, which means that the beautiful The crazy woman answered correctly.
Yes,
In everyone's eyes, even if Gu Qingqiu is not a madman, his brain circuit is not normal.
"I choose cats because many people are too boring. Instead of marrying such a person, it would be nice to spend the rest of your life with a cat!"
In Gu Qingqiu's heart, a partner can be a cat or a dog, It could even be a throw pillow.
Gu Qingqiu answered happily, but for those three couples, it was just a question, and judging from the previous questions, if you did not give the answer immediately, you would be punished.
“I choose the cat!”
The first couple, the woman spoke.
When the man heard this, his expression immediately changed and he glared at his girlfriend: "I choose the cat."
"Choose the cat!"
The second couple, the man answered first.
His girlfriend immediately cried, with a wronged expression on her face, and then said "Choose a cat".
The third couple had a tacit understanding. After looking at each other, they said the word "cat" in unison.
"I'm very happy to hear that you like cats, but I'm sorry for the slow answers, please accept the punishment!"
The black cat announced the result.
“Why?”
The man in the first couple shouted.
“Woooooo!”
In the second couple, the girl cried and asked her boyfriend: "Did you lie to me when you said you loved me forever?"
No matter how dissatisfied the two of them are, it's useless. Petrified, only the third couple managed to survive.
“The third question, if I ran away from home because of a quarrel, would you take the initiative to find me?”
“This is a simple question, so I should answer yes?”
After the man in the sweatshirt finished speaking, he saw the sales man and the cute girl next to Lin Dashen looking at him with an unteachable look in their eyes.
Isn't it right?
The man in the sweatshirt was confused.
"How could I quarrel with you? All the mistakes are my fault, and you are absolutely not wrong!"
The boy answered too quickly, obviously he had personal experience.
“Yes, it’s all my fault!”
The girl nodded. She was very good at this kind of proposition, because that was how she manipulated her boyfriend.
"The louder the quarrel, the deeper the love. If they were ordinary people, I wouldn't even be interested in talking to them!"
Gu Qingqiu shrugged.
This time, two answers emerged.
"Qingqiu!"
Xia Hongyao was worried.
[What the black cat needs is care, as long as the answer expresses this meaning, it will pass! 】
“The fourth question, how many cats are there around you?”
When the couple heard this question, they were in despair.
“Looks like I still haven’t gotten over it!”
The boy sighed.
"It doesn't matter, it would be nice to die with you!"
As the girl spoke, she hugged her boyfriend: "But I think I still need to cover it up, you What do you think of the number 23?”
“Great!”
The boy is dumbfounded. At this time, you are still testing me?
The number 23 is my girlfriend’s birthday.
Gu Qingqiu looked around. She had already counted the number of cat-man statues around her. She was about to say this, but when she spoke, Lin Baici suddenly spoke up.
“Ahem!”
Lin Baici coughed hard, covering his mouth and nose with his hands, looking uncomfortable.
The whole place was quiet. Lin Baici suddenly coughed like this, which startled everyone and looked at him.
"Huh?"
Song Huizhi noticed that Lin Baici had a Western-style oil lamp in his left hand.
Is this a taboo thing?
Why else would he carry this thing?
It can’t be used for lighting, right?
"Gu Qingqiu, you must pay attention!"
Lin Baici did not raise his head or make eye contact with Gu Qingqiu, because he was worried about being discovered by the black cat.
Once they are found to be cheating, maybe both of them will be turned into cat-man statues.
Lin Baici had the courage to help Gu Qingqiu, firstly because of Xia Hongyao's plea, and secondly because he wanted to test the answer to see if the number of black cats he saw was correct.
Of course, this girl made a good impression on Lin Baici in the library that day.
Help if you can!
Gu Qingqiu is very smart. The moment Lin Baici coughed, she knew that this boy should have discovered something key and wanted to remind her.
Otherwise, with the caution he showed, he would not have coughed so loudly.
He did this obviously to attract his own attention.
Gu Qingqiu immediately noticed Lin Baici's right hand covering his mouth and nose, because to transmit digital information, using hands is definitely the fastest.
"5? 3?"
Gu Qingqiu saw that Lin Baici first covered his mouth with his whole palm, and then bent his little finger and ring finger. This obviously represented two numbers, 5 and 3.
Then he saw Lin Baici's hand clenched, and then made these two movements in succession.
“53!”
Gu Qingqiu replied with a clear voice.
The couple was originally going to report their birthday numbers, but when they saw Gu Qingqiu being so decisive, they immediately chose to follow suit.
“53!”
The two said in unison.
They are not smart people, but their IQ is definitely not bad. This girl knows the forest god, so she is very likely to get hints from the forest god.
“……”
In silence, the black cat looked at Gu Qingqiu with its big jewel eyes, and then looked at Lin Baici after a few seconds.
Did something happen that I don’t know about?
Everyone dared not breathe, waiting for Black Cat to announce the results. (End of this chapter)
