"At least we have to give our number nine to..."

"Let me do it myself. I'm a lawyer. Although I'm well-known in the industry, I'm probably not on the same level as you." No. 9 sighed.

Excellence also has different levels. If we compare comprehensive qualities, among the nine people present, she may only be able to beat the swindler and the psychopath.

"Great! Let's get started then."

Mr. Mask spread his arms and brilliant fireworks burst out from the stage behind him.

The challengers looked solemn. Their identities were ranked in order of number: Bishop, Psycho, Spy, Mercenary, Student, Actor (deceased), Ogre, Swindler, and Lawyer.

"Hey! Why do I think I'm crazy? Students, students!" Number Two protested.

However, there are two students, so it is not easy to distinguish them.

“Then find some unique features for me!” Number Two clenched his fists.

Okay, let me introduce them again. The identities of the challengers are arranged in order of numbers: Bishop, Glasses, Spy, Mercenary...

Number Two: "Glasses..."

"Who are you talking to?"

Mr. Mask looked at him strangely.

"No, I didn't say anything." Glasses looked aside.

"Ok."

Mr. Mask frowned and began to introduce again: "The challenge has officially begun. The first level is a question-and-answer session. Each question is worth ten points, for a total of twenty questions.

Those with the lowest scores will be eliminated, while those with higher scores will enjoy certain privileges in subsequent challenges."

"Stand to the end?" Number Nine frowned.

"Why is it a question and answer?" Number Four was very dissatisfied.

We brought so many tough guys here just to answer questions?

"Because that's the rules of the game."

Mr. Mask explained briefly, then looked at the bishop: "The first round is compulsory, let's start with Bishop No. 1, are you ready?"

"Ask," said the bishop calmly.

God's teachings made it impossible for him to tolerate the revival of sin, and now he was full of determination.

"Hahaha, relax, our first question is relatively easy."

Mr. Mask laughed, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and then asked: "You Truth followers should have read "He Is Watching You", right? What is the second word on the eighth line of page 103?"

"Is this simple?!" The man with glasses was stunned.

"From the perspective of universal rationality, this is indeed a bit beyond the scope." Li Tianxiu also frowned.

If it were just memorizing the doctrine, it would not be difficult for a devout believer.

But if you ask about page numbers, the difficulty is not on the same level.

Not to mention that judging from the name of this book, its status in the church is not comparable to that of the Bible.

So, in the eyes of the masked man, such questions are actually simple?

"Resistance."

The bishop replied without changing his expression: "Those ignorant people who want to resist the Supreme Will will eventually be punished by the Lord."

"correct answer!"

Mr. Mask raised his hands and ten points were added to the Bishop's scoreboard.

Colorful fireworks burst out from the edge of the stage, and the dummies in the audience also glowed with colorful lights, and perfunctory canned laughter could be heard.

It’s just that the challengers don’t care how carefully the venue is designed, they only care about themselves.

Mercenary: "He actually knows the answer?"

Female lecturer: "This...this isn't the normal difficulty, is it?"

Lawyer: "This kind of memory is too terrible..."

Glasses: "No, didn't you notice? What kind of cult book is he reading? The Manifesto of Dictatorship?"

The bishop's answer was correct, and it put considerable pressure on the others.

But before they could recover from their shock, Mr. Mask started asking questions again.

"Please listen to the question, number two. If you were framed and sent to a mental hospital, how would you prove to the attending doctor that you are not mentally ill in the shortest possible time?"

Chapter 4 Human IQ Ceiling

"Fuck! I said! I'm not mentally ill!" The man with glasses pounded the desk angrily.

"This is not the correct answer." Mr. Mask reminded.

"I'm not answering! I suspect your question is directed at me!" Glasses protested.

It's like you're attending a charity lecture on caring for special groups, but every time the topic comes up, the camera seems to have recognized its master and keeps following you and taking pictures.

You couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to explain, but everyone stood up and applauded you, giving you caring looks.

Who can accept such grievance? !

"So what's your answer?" Mr. Mask ignored his dissatisfaction.

"Okay... I give in."

Glasses had no choice but to suppress his anger and replied, "When encountering such a situation, don't overreact and just behave like a normal person. Hospitals usually conduct regular checkups. As long as your work and rest schedule and diet are regular, and there are no problems with your speech and memory, they will easily find out what's wrong."

"..."

Everyone looked at him strangely and gradually fell silent.

"Hey, hey, hey! What's with that look on your face like, why am I so familiar with this? Isn't this common sense?" Glasses got angry again.

"I was just thinking..." the bishop said seriously.

“I have to admit, your reaction now does seem a bit guilty.” The scammer laughed.

"It also looks like mania." The mercenary also joked.

"Shut up!" Glasses was furious.

“Very calm thinking.”

Mr. Mask interrupted the argument and shook his head, saying, "But unfortunately, my question is to prove it in the shortest time possible. Your process will take at least a week, which is far from meeting the requirements. You answered this question wrong."

"what?"

Glasses opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief: "This is already the shortest process! Don't you know how difficult it is for an innocent person to prove his innocence? Can you prove that you are not sick in one day?"

"Your turn is over. Please be quiet."

Mr. Mask ignored him and looked at the others: "Just give you one more reminder, a day is still too long, compress it to about an hour.

Now the question enters the quick-answer phase. You can answer the question the moment the indicator light goes dark.

It was stated in advance that the respondent would receive 20 points for a correct answer and 10 points would be deducted for an incorrect answer.

Now prepare...

Start. "

Without giving much time to react, the indicator light on the screen dimmed after Mr. Mask finished speaking.

At the same time, the red light in room number five turned green.

"Ah? I haven't reacted yet." The mercenary was stunned.

"Why didn't you tell me the rules of the quick-answer contest in advance?" the female lecturer also complained.

"One hour?"

Glasses' face was full of disbelief, this was simply impossible.

"Congratulations, No. 5, you have the chance to answer." Mr. Mask looked at him with satisfaction.

While others were laughing at the glasses, only the bishop, the spy, Li Tianxiu and the lawyer were thinking, which shows that they had the right attitude towards the game.

And he likes challengers who show active attitude.

"My answer is to subdue the people present first, and then reason with them," Li Tianxiu replied.

"Huh? Subdue them? Don't you know the security level of the mental hospital? After something happens, they will tie you up and even give you electric shocks. What the hell are you trying to prove?" Glasses retorted.

"It seems that you know a lot about that place." Li Tianxiu smiled slightly.

"This is common sense!!!" The corners of Glasses' eyes twitched wildly.

“But I can do it.”

Li Tianxiu raised the corner of his mouth and explained to Mr. Mask: "As long as you create a situation that forces them to calm down and talk to you, it will be much easier to get them to accept your opinion. Is my answer okay?"

"First convince people with reason, then convince them with logic..."

Mr. Mask thought for a moment, then smiled and replied, "This plan is feasible, your score will increase by 20."

“Forcing others to accept your opinions may not be sincere, but from the perspective of achieving your goals, it is indeed very efficient.

Moreover, he said that he was capable of subduing the hospital security personnel, and Mask did not raise any objections. Combined with his previous introduction to Number Five... This guy might not be simple..." The spy frowned slightly.

People in his line of work never underestimate their opponents.

Bishop No. 1 has excellent momentum and performance, and has been regarded as a strong enemy by him. Now an unusual No. 5 has popped up.

He even began to doubt whether everyone present was hiding their true abilities.

Including number two who pretends to be a normal person!

"I understand. It turns out that the standard of simplicity is whether we can do it ourselves." The bishop suddenly realized.

Although he successfully answered the first question, he did not feel that his question was easy.

If it is evaluated relative to the difficulty of the test taker, then there is no problem.

No wonder Mr. Mask asked him about the contents of the church's writings, and the questions he gave to No. 2 were also related to mental illness.

"Wait, what if I answer this question in the same way?"

Hearing the bishop's whisper, Glasses reacted quickly.

"That's wrong." Mr. Mask laughed.

"grass!!!!"

Glasses slapped his forehead violently.

He finally understood,

The sick person is not him, but the other challengers!

It's because he is too normal that he seems so out of place among this group of people.

This is not fair at all!

"Okay, the break is over, now it's your turn, number three." Mr. Mask looked at the spy.

"Ah."

The spy nodded calmly.

"If your girlfriend asks you, she and your mother fall into the water together, and you can only save one, who would you save? How should you answer to ensure that both parties involved will not be angry?" Mr. Mask said with a smile.

Glasses: “Huh?”

Lawyer: “Ah?”

Swindler: “Ah?”

Isn’t this the famous death quiz?

What kind of answer should be given to this question to be considered the correct answer?

"First, eliminate the girlfriend or mother as an option."

While the others were in a daze, the spy had already started thinking.
