The Cunning Serpent

The third game also went by without any unexpected incidents. Qi Xia led everyone to hang on the ropes, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Serpent Man.

"Long time no see, everyone," the Serpent Man finally appeared and began to converse with the group, "I am the Serpent Man."

"Serpent your mother!" Qiao Jia Jin shouted, "After Sheep and Dog, it's Snake? Do you believe I will kill you right now?"

"Please don't be agitated," the Serpent Man's voice was steady. He looked up at everyone and then said, "You are undergoing the final round of trials. I have a lever at hand; as soon as I pull it, you will descend slowly, and no one will get hurt."

"Will you pull it down?" Xiao Ran asked.

"I..." The Serpent Man smiled indifferently, "I will play a game with you. Whether you can survive or not depends on yourselves."

After hearing this, Qi Xia turned to look at everyone and said, "No one should speak later, leave it to me."

The Serpent Man looked at Qi Xia in the air with interest, walked up and said, "I have an interesting question. If anyone can guess the answer within three times, I will pull the lever and let you down."

"An interesting... question?" Qi Xia was slightly stunned, feeling that the Serpent Man didn't seem to have said this before.

"Listen up, everyone. If you are seriously ill and stranded on a deserted island, and you have two types of special medicine that look exactly the same, each with ten tablets. It is known that only by taking one tablet of each kind every day can you survive, but you accidentally mixed the medicines and can't tell them apart. Assuming help will come in ten days, how will you take the medicine to survive within these ten days?"

Qi Xia frowned, feeling a bit strange.

The games designed by the previous Sheep Man and Dog Man were exactly the same as last time, but the Serpent Man suddenly changed the question.

"May I ask if there is a difference in the color of the tablets?" Xiao Ran asked.

The Serpent Man gave her a cold look and said, "You still have two chances left."

"Hey, beauty?!" Qiao Jia Jin shouted, "There are three chances in total, don't mess it up!"

"I..."

Xiao Ran lowered her head with difficulty, her expression very sad.

At this moment, Qi Xia's understanding of her deepened a bit. She is not only self-righteous but also doesn't listen to advice.

"Qi Xia... What's going on?" Officer Li looked at him and asked in a low voice, "Why did the question change?"

"I don't know," Qi Xia shook his head, "I felt that this Serpent Man was strange last time..."

"Where is it strange?" Officer Li asked.

"Last time we won, but the Serpent Man didn't die," Qi Xia said to the point, "Sheep Man died after losing to us, but the Serpent Man didn't, which is obviously contradictory."

"You're right... it is..." Officer Li shook his head, knowing that now is not the time to dwell on this question, and asked, "Do you have an answer now?"

"Yes."

This question, like "Right and Wrong," is a common logic problem.

Qi Xia suspects that the "Serpent" game might be a "logic" or "intelligence" type, which also fits the cunning characteristics of snakes.

Seeing everyone staring at Qi Xia, the Serpent Man also looked at him and asked, "Do you know the solution?"

"Yes." Qi Xia nodded, "The answer is to crush all the tablets into powder and mix them evenly, then divide them into ten parts as evenly as possible, and take one part each day."

"Oh?!" The Serpent Man showed an excited look, then took out a small notebook from his arms without changing his expression, looked at it and said, "So it is like this?"

His muttering voice was very low, if you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't know what he was saying at all.

Qi Xia always felt that the Serpent Man's performance was very strange, as if he didn't know the answer himself.

A few seconds later, the Serpent Man suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahahahaha! You are really interesting!"

"Interesting?"

Qi Xia's eyes turned cold, suddenly remembering that the last time he solved the answer to "Right and Wrong," the Serpent Man laughed heartily and said the same sentence.

"Wait, I will let you down now."

The Serpent Man pulled the handle, and everyone slowly landed.

"Congratulations to all of you for surviving the 'interview'. Push this door open, a new world is waiting for you." The Serpent Man put his hands behind his back and stood next to the wooden door.

"Damn it..."

Qiao Jia Jin walked up fiercely, seemingly wanting to vent all his dissatisfaction with "Sheep Man" and "Dog Man" on the "Serpent Man" in front of him.

The Serpent Man turned around coldly, looking at the fierce Qiao Jia Jin without moving.

"Are you all perverts?!" Qiao Jia Jin shouted, grabbing the Serpent Man's collar, "Wearing these strange masks, trying to kill us again and again, now I finally caught you!"

The Serpent Man sneered and whispered, "While you are still alive, I advise you to let go early."

"What did you say?!"

Qiao Jia Jin raised his fist forcefully, and it seemed that it was about to hit the Serpent Man's face, but he was held back by Officer Li.

"Qiao Jia Jin, forget it," Officer Li said, "These people are crazy, don't pay attention to them."

No one spoke to the Serpent Man anymore, Qiao Jia Jin reluctantly retracted his hand, and everyone left the house under the leadership of Officer Li.

Qi Xia stood at the end of the team, just about to go out the door, when the Serpent Man suddenly spoke.

"Qi Xia, I look forward to playing with you again."

Qi Xia was shocked all over and stood there in a daze.

He turned his head and looked at the Serpent Man, biting his teeth and asked, "You all remember everything, right?"

"Hehehehe..." The Serpent Man shook his rotten snake head and slowly approached Qi Xia, "Why wouldn't we remember? Everything here is so wonderful? In the days to come, we will meet regularly like old friends, and you will answer all my questions."

Hearing the Serpent Man say this, Qi Xia suddenly felt a deep sense of despair.

Yes.

In the days to come, he will meet the Serpent Man regularly.

The "End Land" will be annihilated on the tenth day, and Qi Xia will die with it.

But after his death here, he will temporarily return to reality, waiting for a day to experience the huge earthquake, and then die again in reality.

Whether it is the "End Land" or the real world, Qi Xia seems to have entered a strange cycle, and he can never escape.

His life is at least one day and at most ten days.

As long as this strange place is still here, he will never return to his own life.

These madmen not only trapped Qi Xia here forever but also erased Yu Nian from her life.

"Serpent Man, you will regret playing with me like this," Qi Xia said coldly.

"Regret?"

Qi Xia didn't pay attention to him anymore and went out the door to catch up with the team.

As soon as he went out the door, the familiar heavy smell came, making Qi Xia feel a bit nauseous.
