The female voice in the red windbreaker said:

"Suppose there are 50 hunters in Yanjing Town. They are all the most logical students in Duoyu Academy. Each of them raises a child, but the hunters are withdrawn and will not have any communication with the other 49 hunters.

One day, the dean of the college sent a message telling them that there was a ghost in the town, among their children, but the hunters could only find out whether the children of other hunters were ghosts, and could not tell whether their own children were ghosts. They could go there during the day. You hang around other hunters' houses to see if their children are ghosts, but you cannot shoot other hunters' children. You decide whether to shoot your own children after you go home at night.

The dean asked them that if they knew that their child was a ghost, they must kill him immediately that night and they could not disobey it.

Well... after 50 hunters learned that there was a ghost in the town.

On the first night, no hunter fired;

The next night, too, no hunter fired;

On the third night... there were 5 gunshots in the town.

Excuse me, how many ghosts are there in the town? And tell why. "

After the red windbreaker finished speaking, he floated in the air, waiting for Cheng Shaofeng's answer.

After listening, Cheng Shaofeng only had one symbol in his mind at this moment:

(;´・`)?

hunter? child? ghost? (×)

Old man, subway, mobile phone! (√)

Why don't you have a clue? ? ?

If you can't see if your own child is a ghost, and you can't shoot other children who are ghosts, why would you shoot?

Why didn't you shoot two days ago? Shooting on the third day?

And why were 5 shots fired?

'ah! My head is so messed up! ! ! '

After Cheng Shaofeng's mouth twitched a few times, he pretended to be calm and said:

"Can you say the question again?"

The red trench coat repeated the question again, Cheng Shaofeng remembered it in his heart, and then... his brain was still a blur.

The format of this question reminded him of a classic question on a post forum: A bear fell from 20 meters in the air. It took him 2 seconds to ask whether the bear was male or female?

This is too outrageous!

Cheng Shaofeng thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't find the trick to this question.

An idea struck and he called out to No. Zero in his mind: "No. Zero, do you know the answer to this question?"

Number Zero: "Master, this question is not in Number Zero's database and cannot be answered..."

Depend on! You can't even solve a reasoning question, and you still claim to be artificial intelligence?

waste!

If Cheng Shaofeng didn't want to be trapped here waiting for death by a red-clothed ghost, he had to rely on his own brain to answer this question.

The red windbreaker ghost in front of him was obviously far more powerful than he understood. With the current strength of him and several players, there was no way he could compete with it. Once he was trapped here... the day the base's energy ran out would be the anniversary of his death.

Cheng Shaofeng calmed down and began to think about every detail of the question...

'There are four prerequisites: 1. Hunters are smart people with strong logical abilities; 2. Hunters will not have any communication with each other; 3. Hunters can only see whether other people's children are ghosts; 4. A hunter can only shoot his own children...'

'The result was that on Christmas Eve two days ago, 5 shots were fired on the third day... I asked how many ghosts were in the town. '

'Then the key to this question is...'

'that is...'

'MD Why do I feel that this question lacks conditions? '

The corners of Cheng Shaofeng's mouth twitched, and a burst of resentment from a scumbag spurted out.

He also remembered that when he was in high school, in the examination room of a general examination, a top student suddenly raised his hand: "Teacher! There is an error in question 13, one condition is missing!"

The teacher looked at the test questions for a while and nodded: "Well, there is indeed an error in this question... You don't need to do this question now."

Cheng Shaofeng looked at the answer he had calculated and fell into deep thought.

Now the situation is reversed. He feels that he lacks the conditions, but... the ghost has said the question twice, and the content is here. He can only answer the result.

Seeing Cheng Shaofeng deep in thought, his red windbreaker was also suspended in the air, waiting quietly.

After 10 minutes, tears almost flowed from Cheng Shaofeng's forehead.

The red windbreaker urged: "Have you figured it out? This kind of question...even the students of your Duoyu Academy can't answer it? Hahaha~ I used to like your academy..."

"Since I can't figure it out...then just stay with me. I'll let you go when I figure it out."

The red windbreaker opened, and streams of black mist poured out, threatening to snatch Cheng Shaofeng away.

"Wait!"

Cheng Shaofeng stretched out a hand in front of him and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"I solved this problem..."

Black mist stayed in mid-air.

"Oh? Then tell me the answer, quickly!"

It sounded urgent and unabashedly joyful.

Cheng Shaofeng nodded and reviewed his reasoning again.

'The key to solving this problem lies not in so many preconditions, but in the result! 5 shots fired! Since hunters can only shoot their own children, if five shots were fired on the third night, all five hunters should have shot! As hunters with perfect logical reasoning ability, they must have a way to know how many ghosts there are in the town, so on the third night, the hunters used their own abilities to deduce 5 ghosts and shot them together. Although I can't understand the hunters. How was it deduced? But judging from the results, this is the most reasonable explanation. '

Cheng Shaofeng felt that with his logical ability...only this explanation could answer this question.

But vaguely... he felt that this question might not be that simple.

"There are a total of..."

Just when he was about to tell the answer, the door behind him opened.

Forgiveness Hat and Xiaoxiao opened the door and walked in.

"Lord Lord! We are here to save you!"

"Evil spirits, retreat quickly!"

The two men rushed towards the red windbreaker with their maces in hand.

Cheng Shaofeng: (‧̣̥̇꒪່⍢꒪່)

"Don't..."

10 seconds later.

Cheng Shaofeng glanced at the two people struggling in the air who were pulled up by the black mist, and covered his eyes.

"Don't be impulsive... We are just exchanging issues in a friendly manner." (Chinese)

Cheng Shaofeng seamlessly switched to wasteland language: "Well...Sister Hong, please put these two down. They are my...preparatory students of our Duoyu Academy, who came with me to practice."

"Oh? No wonder you can come out of my ethereal illusion... Your college has accepted two more good talents... Especially this little girl, who has the potential to be a professor." The red windbreaker put the two of them down.

Then he asked urgently: "So, what is the answer to this question?"

Cheng Shaofeng looked at the two players he had carefully selected, and recalled his ordinary 20 years... and smiled.

"This question... is not difficult. I can tell you the answer directly, but it doesn't mean much. Why not take this opportunity to test my two preparatory students with this question and see if they can answer it?" How about giving me the correct answer and letting you see how capable our college’s preparatory students are...?”

Red-clothed ghost: "Interesting... Anyway, I have been waiting for 10 years, and this is not the last time. Duoyu Academy, which claims to use technology to suppress all energy systems in the world... is it really as magical as the legend says? If you guys If all the preparatory students can answer my question, then you will gain my respect."

"Are you a fool?" (Chinese)

Ghost in red: "What do you mean?"

"Oh, a hometown language, which means... it's settled in one word, don't you understand? Weren't you able to communicate with my preparatory students before?"

The red-clothed ghost chuckled: "Haha~ That's not me communicating with you, but the illusion caused by the virtual energy. Everyone's illusion is different. Even I can't control it. Of course... if you want Open your mind and let me enter your head, maybe we can communicate directly."

"No need!"

Cheng Shaofeng politely refused.

Cheng Shaofeng felt relieved knowing that the ghost in red couldn't understand them.

He repeated the question of the ghost in red to the two confused people next to him in Chinese.

"This is the final test given to us by the red ghost. If you can answer it... you can get high rewards and base-limited titles,"

"If it fails... I will be imprisoned here. Then the two of you will return to the base, contact the other three soldiers, and find a way to crack this town... I will give orders to Zero. When you die Then directly start the clone body resurrection program. All soldiers must keep the clone body warehouse with sufficient raw materials so that you can be resurrected. However, without me around, you cannot store body data. You will start over after death... [Clone Production Warehouse] When the resources exceed your 5 resurrection requirements, I will wake up more soldiers. You must find a way to break this place with new soldiers! Rescue me! Otherwise the natural disaster base... will disappear , you will also fall into eternal sleep, you heard me!"

Cheng Shaofeng had already prepared for the worst.

Forgive Hat was startled.

Will the NPC be imprisoned? Will they fall into a permanent slumber? Isn’t that a ban?

The plot of this world...is it so exciting?

Xiaoxiao also showed an expression of disbelief: "Is this a plot choice? Two plots... taking different paths?"

Forgiveness Hat looked solemn: "It looks like this...if we succeed, we will be rewarded. If we fail...then we will not be able to store experience without the help of the base lord. If we die once, we will start over. The land reclamation will be It will be extremely difficult, and you will become hostile to the red ghost in front of you, and everyone's main mission will become 'rescuing the lord'... This is definitely a very bad world line!"

Xiaoxiao also said: "Without the lord, the development of the base will stagnate, and we will no longer be able to receive missions... It's terrible, we must save him!"

The two looked at each other, raised their left hands, made fists, and beat their chests.

"Lord! We will definitely solve it!"
