Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

After Lin Yu took out the pistol, Buwang's attitude immediately changed.

The little girl pushed her sunglasses and smiled awkwardly.

"Oh, Brother Jiushui, I was just questioning... It was mostly a joke."

"Actually, I'm basically convinced by your answer, but I can't help but feel a little bit disappointed that I just worked so hard for nothing!"

He did not forget to say this and made a "please" gesture.

"Just follow your answer."

Lin Yu put away his pistol and looked at the Crow Man.

"Okay, then... our answer is 'no matter how long it takes, this room will never fill with water.'"

He said calmly, and the Crow Man looked at the other four.

"Do you agree with this answer?"

The other four people nodded.

"Agree!"

"agree!"

The four of them spoke almost in unison, but the tone of Buwang, who had just "questioned", was the most determined.

And when the Crow Man heard this, he flapped his wings again.

"Quack—the answer is correct! Congratulations on winning the prize! I will eliminate a door with a wrong option!"

The Crow Man said this, turned around, and touched the door on the wall he had walked out of with his wings, and then - the green door disappeared!

Then the crow turned and spoke again.

"Haha, there's a second reward below—"

It flapped its wings, and then...

In the middle of the ceiling, a new black square suddenly appeared!

The center of the square split open, two black trapdoors appeared and opened, and then...

A larger stream of water gushed out of the trapdoor.

For a moment, the five players present were stunned.

They originally thought that after the first problem was over, the water outlet would definitely stop discharging water again and the accumulated water in the room would be drained away.

However, the water flow did not stop, but an additional outlet from the ceiling was added - the water flow was almost the sum of the remaining ten outlets!

The water level rose faster all of a sudden!

From this perspective, the estimate of "55 minutes" in the first question that the room in a narrow sense will be filled with water does not seem to be meaningless.

Because now... they can easily calculate that this room is filled with water and the time left for them to survive is probably less than half an hour!

Considering that I just wasted nearly five minutes answering the question.

There is less than a quarter of an hour left for everyone.

Soon, the water in the room was above their waists.

"What kind of reward is this?! Isn't this a punishment?"

Uncle Tie couldn't help but said angrily.

The Crow Man laughed.

"Ha, this is indeed a punishment... Although you answered the first question correctly, so I will give you a reward - but you answered too slowly, so I will also punish you - with this limit, you should be able to answer the next questions faster!"

The Crow Man smiled, and Uncle Tie's expression became even uglier.

Number 8 also looked unhappy.

"How could you do that?! You didn't tell me to answer the questions faster!"

He looked at everyone and whispered, "How about I use my power to make it close these water outlets...at least make it close the biggest one above its head!"

When these words were spoken, both Uncle Tie and April were a little moved.

Lin Yu frowned and was about to speak out to stop him.

But he didn't forget to speak first.

"No, I don't think you need to use your abilities here—this is only the first room."

"At least we were stumped by the second and third questions in the first room. We really couldn't come up with an answer right away. It would be best if you could use your abilities to buy us some time."

Not forgetting to say it playfully, he added at the end: "Hey, I think none of you can't swim, right?"

As he spoke, No. 8 and April both shook their heads.

“We took swimming lessons together in college.”

April spoke out.

Uncle Tie also laughed: "I can swim too. I loved swimming in my early years."

Lin Yu nodded.

He could swim, too—not particularly well, but he could easily stay afloat in the still water.

Don't forget what you just said, that's basically what he was thinking.

The little girl convinced everyone on his behalf, and Lin Yu also had a slightly different opinion of this "thief".

"Okay, let's not waste time for now," Lin Yu looked at the Crow Man, "Since you don't like wasting time...then tell me your second question."

When the crow man heard Lin Yu's question, he spread his feathers and floated on the water.

"Haha, then the next question is 'reward and punishment'..."

"Now that the current has increased, you already know that you don't have much time left - so, let's assume, I will assign three tasks to the five of you."

"The three tasks are 'Crack the safe combination', 'Find the padlock key', and 'Turn the switch to close the black trapdoor'."

As the Crow Man spoke, a projection of a safe appeared on the wall around them.

The Crow Man looked at Uncle Tie and Number Eight, whose eyes became eager, and called out twice.

"Haha, just a quick aside - these are just 'hypothetical' missions. You don't need to do them, so the trapdoor can't actually close."

The Crow Man spoke out as a reminder, dispelling the unrealistic fantasies of Number Eight and Uncle Tie.

"Suppose it takes 10 minutes to crack the combination to the safe, 12 minutes to find the key to the padlock, and 15 minutes to turn the switch to close the black trapdoor."

"It takes one person to crack the safe combination."

"It takes three people to find the padlock key."

"It takes two people to turn the switch."

"Then—can you see to it that no one is drowned when the trapdoor is closed?"

The Crow Man asked, and Eight spoke automatically.

"Why is this another elementary school math problem?!"

This is an elementary school math problem that’s even more classic than filling a swimming pool—a time allocation problem!

Brushing your teeth and making breakfast while boiling water in order to “save time”… is still a type of question that is etched in the DNA of everyone who has studied elementary school math.

but……

This time, no one really thought about it as an elementary school math problem.

After all, we have already learned from the previous experience!

Even Number 8, who had just spoken subconsciously, reacted quickly and looked at Lin Yu.

"Jiu Shui, is this question essentially also a 'word trap' question?"

Lin Yu shook his head.

"I'm not sure yet, but based on the experience from the previous question, this possibility is more likely."

He nodded and said:

"But... we can't assume it's necessarily a 'word trap' type of question - after all, this game might deliberately go against the grain!"

"Using our habitual thinking, we think this question also has a word trap - but in fact, this is really an ordinary elementary school math problem, so this possibility is not impossible."
