The landlady looked at the two people holding hands, her lips opening and closing, but she hesitated to speak.
There was a saying she didn't know whether to say or not.
Silence for two seconds.
The landlady spoke tentatively.
"You...are you sure you want to ask such a simple question?"
Jiang Li, who was drinking a drink, was startled when he heard such words from a distance.
Did the three of them miss something?
Jiang Li put down the glass gently and his expression became a little serious.
She recalled.
Before entering the game, all chocolates must be "eaten by the child", otherwise the game cannot start.
Therefore, the chocolate that the landlady is hinting at is obviously not brought from outside.
It should be...chocolate that appeared in the fairy tale world.
But has chocolate ever appeared in this fairy tale world?
Jiang Li fell into deep thought.
She raised her head and glanced at the proprietress at the kitchen door.
The proprietress was looking at Zhao Qingqing, picked up a small handful of melon seeds, and started eating them slowly.
"Are you sure? You want to know where I can get the chocolate? If you are sure, follow me to the counter to sign."
The proprietress walked into the inside of the counter.
Xu Haoran and Zhao Qingqing looked at each other and did not dare to respond easily.
If they said "just ask this" now, would it look... stupid?
"Can't figure it out? Why don't you two eat some melon seeds? These are added with black technology and can help your brain."
The boss lady reminded them again and stuffed two or three melon seeds into the two of them.
"Also, don't throw melon seed shells around. I usually throw them at the door of the tavern." The proprietress said as she took a melon seed.
Xu Haoran was stunned for a moment when he suddenly heard this.
The door of the tavern...
When Xu Haoran turned to look at the door, a figure had quickly flashed past and squatted over there.
Jiang Li squatted at the door, picked up a handful of black mud, put it to the tip of his nose, and sniffed it gently.
The black mud is slightly sweet and exudes a light aroma.
It doesn't taste like earth.
Jiang Li twisted it with his fingertips again. The powder was fine and soft, and it was very different from the rough texture of soil.
Jiang Li had a guess in his mind.
She took a bit of the clean black mud from the lower layer, put it on the tip of her tongue, and tasted it.
Slightly sweet and slightly bitter, it is chocolate powder.
The soil here is not soil, but edible chocolate powder, which is completely in line with the fairy tale world imagined by children.
Jiang Li's eyes lit up!
She almost forgot that this game is for children, so many things will be made according to children's wishes.
Speaking of which, the wooden material of the wooden house tavern may not be wood, but biscuits, which are also edible.
Jiang Li thought that if Hongying hadn't fallen asleep, he might have eaten the wooden house.
Jiang Li put away her thoughts and wiped the chocolate powder from the tip of her tongue.
She raised her face, pinched a ball of black mud, and nodded gently to Xu Haoran and Zhao Qingqing at the counter.
The two of them understood each other instantly.
Xu Haoran immediately changed his words to the landlady, "No, that's not the problem. Let's think about it again."
Zhao Qingqing quickly came to the door of the tavern, grabbed the black mud-like things, and planned to stuff them into her mouth.
"Wait." Jiang Li stopped her, "Don't eat it yet."
Zhao Qingqing's wrist was pinched by Jiang Li.
The chocolate thing is settled.
But Jiang Li had a vague feeling in her heart that the development of things... shouldn't be like this.
Zhao Qingqing should not have eaten the chocolate powder.
Because the scene in the prophecy is that Zhao Qingqing was killed in the bushes.
Instead of Zhao Qingqing eating chocolate and falling into a coma as a rabbit.
Jiang Li frowned.
Current development cannot match future scenarios.
Is it possible that Zhao Qingqing's approach of "retreating in order to advance, sacrificing herself, and waiting for resurrection" is not the best solution, so she was not chosen?
The initial result was that everyone would die and Zhao Qingqing could live alone.
But Zhao Qingqing figured out a way to keep everyone alive while she died alone.
If killing one person is still not the "best way", then Jiang Li can only think that there should be a solution where everyone does not have to die.
What should be done so that everyone does not have to die...
Jiang Li thought for a few seconds, stood up, and looked at the tavern proprietress.
"I want to use the opportunity to ask questions." Jiang Li was determined.
The landlady nodded, "Okay, come here, think about the issues and sign here."
The landlady opened the book in her hand and turned it so that the book was facing Jiang Li.
"What is your name?"
"Jiang Li."
Hearing Jiang Li's answer, the landlady's expression changed slightly.
"Are you the Chosen One?"
"yes."
The landlady suddenly took the book from Jiang Li's hand and quickly turned to the rules on the last page of the paper.
"First, the chosen ones have priority to ask questions. Second, the chosen ones can only ask 'right and wrong questions', otherwise the questions will be invalid."
The landlady stretched out her hand, pointed to the small words on the last page of the question book, and read out each word.
Jiang Li was stunned and swallowed back the question that was put to her lips.
What she asked must be a "right or wrong question."
This means that the boss lady's answer can only be "yes" or "no", "right" or "wrong", "yes" or "no", etc.
This is a rule set to restrict the chosen ones.
Jiang Li held the pen and thought about it for three seconds.
Then, she quickly signed her name on the blank page of the book and asked the boss's wife questions.
"If I replace my companions and become a rabbit hunter, is it possible to ensure that everyone survives?"
Jiang Li put down his pen and raised his eyes to look at the landlady.
By asking this question, she can learn two levels of information.
The first layer of information is: Is there some way to change the situation between Jiang Li and Zhao Qingqing, let Zhao Qingqing return to normal, and Jiang Li be the killing rabbit?
The reason why I ask this is because in the prophecy scene, except for Jiang Li, everyone appeared with "human faces", including Zhao Qingqing.
Jiang Li reasonably suspected that he who did not appear was the "real murderer" in each scene.
Secondly, Jiang Li also wants to know the second level of information: Is there a way to keep everyone alive?
This layer of information relates to whether Zhao Qingqing needs to eat chocolate.
It also depends on whether Zhao Qingqing "must sacrifice" or "has a chance to survive."
Jiang Li's guess is that there should be some kind of prop that can only be used by Jiang Li.
Therefore, if Jiang Li becomes the "murderer", then Jiang Li has a way to "keep himself alive without killing everyone."
Facing Jiang Li's question, the proprietress took two more melon seeds, thought for a while and said, "Yes."
Jiang Li felt relieved after receiving a positive answer.
Her analysis is correct.
Jiang Li glanced at the time on the wall clock, quickly walked to the door, and held Ms. Rabbit's hand.
Jiang Li took Ms. Rabbit and stood in front of Xu Haoran.
One person and one rabbit nodded slightly to Xu Haoran, indicating that he could ask the second question now.
Xu Haoran's heart was beating wildly and he was a little nervous.
He must follow Jiang Li and ask a useful question, and he must not hold everyone back.
Xu Haoran exhaled and signed his name in the book.
He raised his eyes and looked at the landlady: "The detailed and specific method to keep everyone alive is..."
"Hey, hey, stop it, stop it." The boss lady interrupted him, "You can still play like this, you brat? You asked this question, I just rebelled against the organization. What, you have to send me away today?"
"Change it! If you don't change it, I will declare the question invalid." The landlady gave Xu Haoran a second chance.
Xu Haoran thought about it again and again and changed the question:
"What's the way to let the chosen one replace his companion and become a rabbit?"
The landlady slapped the table and said excitedly: "If you ask me, you are asking the right person!"
The landlady immediately took out the hidden black landline phone and dialed an internal number.
"Hey, hello, doctor, hello~~That's it..."
The landlady glanced at Jiang Li and lowered her voice.
"It was me who persuaded the Chosen One to rebel. Yes, yes, yes, she said she wanted to kill someone, join us, and become a rabbit hunter instead of her companions.
That's right, I finally tried to persuade him with my persuasion. When do you think we will send someone over to deal with it?
Oh, oh, ok, ok, I understand.
Doctor, this is considered a great achievement of mine. Is it about opening a chain...
Hey, hey, OK, OK! "
The landlady hung up the phone and gave Xu Haoran an OK gesture.
"Done."
