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

Lin Yu basically agrees with the statement of "never forget".

Although in the first question, the Crow Man did play a word game and set a "trap".

but.

This cannot be used as evidence to indicate that this question must contain a text trap.

In a sense, this is also a form of "fraud."

Therefore, as a "trickster", Lin Yu can easily come to the conclusion after thinking from the other person's perspective...

If it were him, Lin Yu would definitely mix up the truth and falsehood, the real and the fake.

So, after thinking for a moment, Lin Yu took over Buwang's words.

"Then let's treat this 'problem' as a regular elementary school math problem for now."

"If during the solution, we discover the possibility of a 'text trap'... it's not too late to consider that aspect."

Lin Yu said in a low voice.

Because the first question just now was almost solved by Lin Yu independently.

Therefore, even though he is the one with the "newest" seniority among the group, he still becomes the backbone of everyone's hearts at this time.

The other four players naturally had no objection to Lin Yu's proposal at this moment.

Number Eight quickly calculated.

"We have five people now, but the total number of people required for these 'missions' is six!"

Number Eight looked at the "Crow Man" as if he had thought of something.

"Examiner, does this number of people have to be strictly met? Is it possible to complete the task with one more or one less person, but it will only affect the completion time?"

Number Eight asked aloud.

The Crow Man shook his head: "Quack, the number of people who complete each task must be no more, no less!"

After saying that, Number Eight scratched his head embarrassedly.

"So that's how it is. I thought the 'trap' was hidden here!"

Then he began to do mental arithmetic.

"If we solve this problem strictly according to mathematics..."

"If we follow this algorithm, the fastest time would be 25 minutes," Buwang said. "One person cracks the code, three people look for the key, and one person is on standby—and then the person who cracks the code immediately goes to turn the switch with the person on standby."

"25 minutes?" Uncle Tie pondered. "At this time, it seems more likely that one of us will die."

After all, under the most optimistic circumstances, this room will be filled with water in about 15 minutes.

Even if we take into account the duration of "holding breath", some people will definitely die.

April also frowned: "So the answer... someone must die?"

"No, this is the conclusion drawn from the 'math problem' algorithm," he shook his head. "We haven't considered the possibility of a 'text trap' yet. I don't know if you noticed just now, but the question the Crow Man asked was, 'Can you ensure that no one drowns when the trapdoor is closed?'"

"He didn't tell us that we had to complete all three tasks."

"In other words, if we complete the longest-lasting task of shutting down the switch first, then 15 minutes later—the trapdoor will be closed and the water injection will stop."

"If we take the breath-holding time into account in that situation, we probably wouldn't have lost anyone."

As he spoke, Uncle Tie and Number Eight were both convinced.

"That makes sense. This seems to be the 'text trap'!"

Only April frowned.

"I feel like something's wrong... but I can't put my finger on it."

Lin Yu also felt something was wrong.

At this moment, the water level had risen to his chest, and Buwang, who was shorter in stature, had to tread water before he could start speaking.

April was not tall, so she also stood on tiptoe in the water.

Number Eight was a little anxious: "Whether it's right or not, at least the analysis of 'not forgetting' sounds reasonable..."

"Why don't we just answer this way - there will be a 'penalty' for answering too slowly anyway!"

Number Eight's words also shook April.

However, just when April decided to agree with Buwang's analysis.

Lin Yu spoke.

"No - forgetting all that has been analyzed is the biggest 'trap'!"

Even though Lin Yu said that we should put aside the "text trap" for the time being, we still cannot really ignore the possibility of the "text trap".

It is difficult for people to overcome the preconceived notions in their subconscious mind.

After the experience of cheating in the novice copy, Lin Yu knew very well that if one could calculate and utilize other people's "subconscious" when cheating, the success rate would be very high.

"So, the 'gotcha' in this question isn't on his face... it's on the wall."

Lin Yu looked at the projection of the safe on the wall.

It was a projection of an old-fashioned safe with a knob-type combination lock.

"Whether it's 25 minutes or 15 minutes, it's still a bit too ambiguous. It's within the realm of possibility that someone died or that someone didn't... So, the answer can't be such an uncertain time."

"And I'm curious why you insist on using the 'hypothetical' mission format instead of actually giving us some missions to do."

The Crow Man shrugged. "After all, this game is called 'Fatal Questions'!"

As he spoke, Lin Yu shook his head.

"No, it's more than that."

"The safe on the wall should be the 'diagram' of the first mission," Lin Yu looked at the Crow Man, "Then, what about the 'diagrams' of the next two missions..."

When the crow man heard Lin Yu's question, he floated on the water and laughed, flapping his wings on the water surface.

"Haha, you found the key again!"

The Crow Man waved his hand, and then the projection diagrams of the other two "missions" appeared one after another.

First, there was a long and narrow hole that was too narrow for a human hand to reach, and inside it was a metal iron key.

This should be the schematic diagram of the second "Find the Key" task.

Then, a projection of an old-fashioned rotary switch appeared on the wall - and the switch was wrapped with circles of iron chains as thick as a fist - at the end of the chain was a huge lock.

This is a diagram for the third task, "Flip the Switch."

The style of the lock and the metal key are almost the same.

After seeing these three diagrams, the remaining four players realized something.

Lin Yu looked at the Crow Man and whispered, "Let's confirm this for now, Mr. Examiner. You must complete one of these three tasks before you can complete the next one, right?"

The Crow Man laughed. "Quack, yes—the safe contains a magnet and a piece of string, and the key opens the lock on the switch. You're really too clever!"

Lin Yu let out a breath.

"So, the time it takes to close the trapdoor above is 10 plus 12 plus 15, a full 37 minutes. In that time, let alone whether anyone will die, I'm afraid none of us will survive."

"So, my answer is... we can't guarantee that no one will die."

The Crow Man looked at the other four players.

Before it could even ask, the remaining four people rushed to speak.

"We all agree with Lin Yu's answer!"

After all, the water level had risen a lot at this moment, and even the three taller men couldn't help but stand on tiptoe.

The Crow Man then announced the answer.

"Haha, congratulations then... you answered the second 'reward and punishment question' correctly!"

"This time's reward is—in the first room, after you answer the 'choice question' for the first time, I will open the door you didn't choose and give you a chance to change your choice!"
