The German Shepherd sniffed the first rule, finally stopped at one side, obediently sticking out its tongue and acting cute, not saying a word of being red and broken.
In other words this rule is real.
Diep Tich couldn't help but frown. In her current impression, this was the third time she had encountered a rule related to children in the strange chat.
The first time was at the amusement park, the general rule was: "This amusement park is for adults, you can guarantee that there will be no children in the park. If you see a child, please ignore it and move away, do not talk to me. If you unfortunately have a conversation with a child, please accompany me to play games as requested."
This segment, Diep Tich himself did not encounter in the dungeon, but later read the report of the 17th strange chat and found out that Tieu Lanh encountered it.
According to the details mentioned in Xiao Leng's report, this rule itself is real, if you meet a child who really wants to accompany him to play the game. But playing the game doesn't necessarily mean you have to die, at the beginning of the game, a new set of rules is triggered, as long as you follow the rules and take out the mentality of "Adults accompany children to play the game" to accompany him for a while, you can pass the level without any injuries, the difficulty is not particularly high.
The second time was at the Duy Tam Hospital, where there was a rule in the clinic: "The clinic does not have a pediatric department, and does not accept minor patients. If you encounter a minor patient in the clinic who asks for your help, please take them to their parents."
Ye Xi did not activate this rule, but because the rule itself clearly contradicted something, for her, a participant with rich experience, it was something that could be judged true at a glance, and there was absolutely no possibility of stepping on it.
—— "The clinic does not have a pediatric department, and does not accept minor patients", it can be understood that this place should not have minor patients. Thus, "An underage patient was found asking for help at the clinic", the other party clearly understood that there was a problem. If this rule was triggered at that time, Ye Xi would probably choose to ignore it, and would not follow the rules to help him find his parents.
But now they encountered the rule: "This area often has lost children, if you meet a lost child, please take me to the area in the middle of the tree of life."
Although this rule itself does not contain any contradiction, but "Go to the area in the middle of the tree of life" and "Please lead them to find their parents" have similar properties, so when Ye Xi saw this rule, he guessed that this rule was probably a combination of the amusement park rule and the hospital rule, which means that the first half of the rule is real, there will indeed be a "lost child", but the solution for the second half is fake, he cannot lead him to the tree of life, if he wants another way to eliminate the danger.
But now that [Distinguishing Dogs] said all the rules were true, the props wouldn't lie to people, Ye Xi could only believe it. But experience and only felt that it was telling her, "Lost Child" might still have dangers, it was just that she couldn't experience it in the simple and clear summary of the rules, she had to know it in actual operation.
She suddenly fell into deep thought, Tieu Lanh discovered something and guessed that she was using a tool.
He coughed lightly: "The first internal rule, could it be fake?"
Ye Xi raised her eyes and calmly replied, "I think it's true, because although 'going to the middle area of the tree of life' seems to be very fluent, the rules themselves do not contain any contradictions. As for the element 'god mumbles', it cannot be used as a basis in the strange rules. However..." She paused, "Whether the actual operation is as simple as 'going to the middle of the tree of life' is unclear, in case you encounter it, it's better to be careful."
This answer made Xiao Leng Yang Ca Ren Ning Ning understand, exactly getting her verified results and doubts.
Duong Ca continued: "What about the third thing? It's an urgent notice, what do you think?"
"I'm not too sure..." Ye Xi [Distinguishing Dogs] also had another chance to proactively verify the opportunity, it's not that it's impossible to verify this, but she thought about it and told Yang Ge, "From the search above, it seems that 'lost child' and 'resentful female flower' are both only possible encounters, but 'lost child' in the official rules, 'resentful female flower' is an 'urgent notice', the probability of triggering it is even lower? Let's wait until we meet again and talk about it?"
Yang Ge translated it in his mind: In case this game fails, don't waste the opportunity to verify it.
Yang Ge felt that it made a lot of sense. This strange talk in front of him was already a failure. This kind of prop that could turn the tide was a must-have item on the blade, especially one that could make the real and fake rule [Distinguish Dogs] easy to understand at a glance. It was best not to waste this opportunity.
But Wang Li obviously didn't get their "tacit understanding" communication method. Seeing that Ye Xi had just analyzed the obvious truth and was here, he heroically opened his mouth: "It's fine, it's fine! I have the [Fake Fighting Weapon], I'll come test it out!"
Diep Tich: "..."
Duong Ca: "???"
How could someone in a strange chat directly expose his own props? How did he survive!
Duong Ca glanced at him with a complicated expression, unable to stop him, he could only say: "Go..."
Wang Li immediately opened the verification, and a few seconds later gave the answer: "Fake! This rule definitely has a part that is fake! But specifically that part that is fake..." He laughed and scratched his head, "I'm not very clear."
"..." Duong Ca was once again speechless.
[Fake Weapon] as [Distinguish Dog] the world, indeed can only be just to report the real and fake, but if it is a fake rule, will not clearly mark the fake part. But he just verified this rule is "Recently, this area has a few strands of resentful female flowers accidentally dropped. Resentful female flowers have very strong attack properties and sensitive nerves, please pay attention to safety, all visitors. If accidentally meet with resentful female flowers, please stay here, wait for rescue staff", if the first half of the paragraph is fake, then the meaning of these two lines of words is completely meaningless, so the fake part is clearly the second half of the paragraph's resolution method - "If accidentally meet with resentful female flowers, please stay here, wait for rescue staff".
Duong Ca tried his best to patiently explain this, and Vuong Loi suddenly realized: "That makes sense!"
Duong Ca cursed in his heart, but did not bow, brother, have you been able to live until now by relying on "him" to raise his hand and lightly strike the net open?
Xiao Leng didn't pay attention to Wang Li's IQ drop problem, his attention was still on Ye Xi. Seeing Ye Xi staring at the silent rule, he asked softly: "What are you thinking about?"
"Huh?" Ye Xi regained his composure and pursed his lips, "I think, even if that solution is fake, does that mean there really are staff working in this area?"
If there were no staff at all, this rule would be too obvious. And if there were staff... That would be very important to her, meaning that Mr. Mao Zi's pendant could be used in this area.
"On the other hand, there is also." Ye Xi paused for a moment, "'resentful female flower' should clearly exist in the flower area, why would it run to the bird area? I want to know what hidden meaning there is here."
"... This idea is awesome!" Wang Li, who had a low IQ, had a look of horror on his face. "What you just said doesn't seem to be very appropriate. Not to mention anything else, just talking about the four areas of this flower and bird market, why do they only come to the bird area?"
Yu Ying retorted: "I didn't say we'd only go to the bird holding area? Aren't there two other areas that I won't go to? Even if it's not good, what else is there?"
"The island is also..." Wang Li closed his mouth in embarrassment.
Diep Tich did not speak, but in fact, she felt that at this moment, Du Oanh was probably thinking too much. She guessed that the matter of resenting female flowers should only be in the bird-holding area, and the reason why it was in the bird-holding area must have a special reason. It was just that the specific reason was not easy to guess.
"Let's go ahead first." Diep Tich angrily shouted, finished speaking then took a step forward and walked forward.
In front of the forest, the trees were densely green, and the mist was thick. Birds were flying around in the forest, looking a bit lively and magical. Especially the four-tone rhododendron sound, so rhythmic and lively.
In the forest, the ground was crisscrossed with many forks, and at first glance, it looked clear in all directions. After walking for a while, the big man saw a milestone appearing at the intersection of three small roads, but it only pointed to the "restroom", "dining room", "Tree of Life", "Store" and other places, and did not directly point to the exit.
Diep Tich looked at it and felt his heart sink. He began to worry about how to leave this area.
But before she could think again, a black figure suddenly appeared in the air several meters away.
Then that black figure slowly descended... Familiar black clothes, familiar scythe, it was unexpectedly that Grim Reaper!
Waiting until the god of death settled on the ground, Wang Li was really speechless: "Howoldareyou?!"
"?" Everyone turned to look at him.
——Still immersed in the college entrance exam illusion and can't get out, right?!
The Grim Reaper's words were clear: "Im5, 370, 021yearsold."
Everybody:???
How can I still help him practice reciting words!!!
Wang Li's face was full of black lines: "No, I mean, 'why is it always you'!"
The God of Death didn't know if he was a little embarrassed or not, he ignored his question, raised his hand and waved his sleeve, and asked a profound question: "Friends who have come a long way, if you had to choose one kind of bird to be my companion forever, which one would you choose?"
Speaking of which, it was the same as just now, when there was a flash of white light, but this time, after the white light settled down, two small trees half a person tall appeared. On each tree stood a small bird, one was a familiar parrot, the other was just...
Another one had to be like a chicken, but it had six wings and six legs, which reminded Ye Xi of the rumor that circulated on the internet among children in the past, saying that KFC, in order to save money, gave the chickens hormones, and the chicken thighs and wings they ate all grew out like this. But in fact, that rumor was extremely clumsy, because if one looked closely, one would discover that the six wings and six legs all grew exactly the same, belonging to the P-shaped type that didn't go to the heart.
But unlike the rumors, this chicken also has six eyes and six open mouths, the level of falling level blinking is many times more than that clumsy rumored diagram. Especially those six eyes, one side three neatly lined up on that normal sized chicken head, below closely followed is six sharp beaks, the level of disgust is not less than a pair of eyes with more than a hundred eye flowers.
Since entering the dungeon, he had been continuously encountering terrifying attacks. Ye Xi hugged his arm and shook it, gritting his teeth in anger as he thought: What kind of joke is this... Is it to make Nezha's transformed state become a family heirloom?!
Tieu Lanh looked at Tu Than: "Let's negotiate a bit."
The Grim Reaper generously said, "Please feel free, my friend."
The dozen or so people just now gathered together without prior arrangement, whispering softly.
Dang Lam Lam: "What is the situation? The first official to appear was probably the result of this kind of selection question. Everyone has an analysis. I just entered, haven't seen anything yet and I've come across this. How should I choose?"
Ren Ningning guessed: "Maybe it is based on conventional thinking to grow up normally? Otherwise this question cannot be done!"
Yu Ying: "It could also be that we are not growing up normally? Just now we were staying in Yue Gui, he said we were 'shallow'!"
Ren Ning Ning: "But we left behind a hundred flowers, and he still said we were 'lying'!"
The tycoon was silent for a moment.
Then some people started looking for shortcuts.
Yang Ge in Li He's team said: "Is there a possibility that this checkpoint can recruit anyone, and no matter who is sent or who is kept, there is no danger?"
"What the hell is that?" Yang Ge paused, "I mean, if it doesn't matter who you send, then what the hell is that 'he' setting up this topic for?"
"It's obvious, it's confusing us." Li He let go of his hand, "We can't figure out how to do this problem, so we've been thinking about it. Isn't it distracting us like this? If we're distracted, aren't we more likely to step on other thunder?"
The tycoon was silent again.
Subjectively speaking, his thoughts seemed too certain, but if one followed his thoughts——they had to admit that because of the Grim Reaper's confusing actions just now, they had indeed spent quite a bit of energy wondering what he meant.
But logically speaking, this kind of distraction will naturally lead to them falling into other pits more easily.
So Li He's idea seems a bit strange, but also a bit believable, at least there's no way to completely deny it.
Ren Ningning: "That... Really just randomly choose?"
"Choose randomly." Li He shrugged, "If you don't choose randomly, I don't have any clues that can be used to analyze. If you don't dare, I'll come!"
He finished speaking and confidently walked forward. In fact, he was carrying a prop called [Puppet Baby (Level 2)], which could block two fatal injuries for him. If the Grim Reaper really wanted to kill him, he could carry him over.
Li He walked to the place where his teammates and Death God were, and very gently said to Death God: "We will leave Anh Vu behind, you take that six-eyed chicken away."
The Grim Reaper got the answer, waved his sleeve again, and the fallen chicken instantly turned into a white light and disappeared.
The Grim Reaper once again let out a cold laugh: "Ah, shallow humans."
Then it turned into a black smoke and disappeared without a trace.
No sign of him...
Everyone stood silently for a long while, speechless and hurt by the Grim Reaper's ridicule.
"Fuck... He's sick!" Deng Lanlan said boldly, "He's not lying, he's not shallow! Before he found this job as the Grim Reaper, he was probably an internet scum, right?!"
"The high dike river is not even his river." Chu Nguyet rolled her eyes.
Diep Tich looked at the milestone beside him and suggested, "Why don't we look for a store first?"
The rules say that each area must be spent once. The big guys naturally had no objection to this and nodded vigorously: "Let's do it!"
So the big guy followed the arrow direction, along the small road in front to the left, on the road as usual birds chirping non-stop, the four-tone cuckoo call was still a relatively unique type. In addition, the big guy also met a type of somewhat strange bird... Its body was very large, about 1 meter very tall, not necessarily what color, but all had a very similar human male face, moreover every time it appeared was in the colorful flower bushes, making it also look exceptionally dazzling, exceptionally intimidating.
Ren Ningning only had to look twice before she felt that she had been frightened by the terrifying effect of the cup. Ye Xi did not bother to go, because after she had just suggested going to the store, she had new doubts.
... Not sure if it was because the bird area rules were too few and made her feel strange, she was a bit suspicious now. She started to feel that the general rules clearly mentioned "In each area, you need to complete a spending" premise, and each sub-area rule also emphasized "Before leaving this area, please complete a spending" seemed a bit redundant.
Therefore, although these two internal rules do not conflict, but instead verify each other, a new thought also appears in her suspicions, such as... Could it be that the general rule itself is fake, and this zonal rule is either real or fake?
To sum up, is it true that shopping in some areas is necessary, but not "every area". Some shopping areas are necessary to complete the mission, while other areas are death traps?
If not, it seems there is really no need to repeat this rule in every subdivision rule.
This suspicion has always persisted until the rich found the store.
The Bird Holding Area store was a proper "store", not the kind of flower shop that sells fresh flowers in the area, but a very fresh-looking wooden house in the woods. Through the glass, one could see two store employees inside. One was standing at the back counter in charge of collecting money, while the other was sitting around the shelves, looking like a staff member in charge of explaining the products.
Seeing that there were customers outside, the store clerk immediately went to the door and pushed it open, welcoming them very enthusiastically: "Welcome, that... This store has limited space, in order to ensure everyone's shopping experience, the number of people entering the store each time cannot exceed 4 individuals!"
"In addition, each visitor can only enter the store once, please negotiate well in advance!"
Each time they couldn't pass 4 individuals, now they had a total of 13 people. Ye Xi quickly calculated in his heart, they could press 4-3-3-3 groups to enter.
Just in time!
She immediately held Yang Ge and Ren Ning Ning tightly, and at the same time looked towards Xiao Leng: "Shall the four of us go in first and help everyone scout the way?"
On the other hand, teammates also have no opinion on this.
After several storms, the survivors on Xiao Leng's side all agreed that Ye Xi and Xiao Leng were the most powerful, and the people on Yang Ca's side also felt that Yang Ca and Ren Ning Ning were the most formidable.
As for why the four of them would "become friends", everyone instinctively thought that the big shots had radar, and could tell with just one look who was a capable teammate, unlike these other weaklings.
Duong Ca's voice stiffened.
She also thought of the 4-3-3-3 grouping method at first, but in her opinion, each group should have a 17th member leading it, to ensure safety.
But before she could speak, Tieu Lanh nodded: "I think it's possible."
Duong Ca didn't know the inside story, but still swallowed his words. The four of them entered the store together. Diep Tich directly turned his head and walked to the side, trying to avoid the store employee.
Tieu Lanh followed her, when she stopped he asked: "Did you say something you wanted to say?"
"That's right." Diep Tich turned around, Duong Ca's face showed understanding.
She looked at Xiao Leng with complicated eyes, on one hand she admired how Xiao Leng and Ye Xi were very compatible, on the other hand she felt that they were both so compatible, he even treated love affairs with this kind of temperament... It was truly too much.
Diep Tich calmly looked at the store employee who had just opened the door for them.
The store staff was very tactful, seeing that they had something to say, they didn't come over, giving them enough space.
Ye Xi put his thoughts down and explained the doubts he had just raised in one breath. After he finished speaking, Ren Ningning looked at Yang Ge, Yang Ge looked at Xiao Leng, Xiao Leng focused his mind: "In general... If the two internal rules point to the same event, and the two internal rules are mutually exclusive, one of them is definitely fake; and if the two internal rules are not compatible, it is likely that they are mutually verifying each other."
Diep Tich nodded: "I know."
Xiao Leng: "But what you said is right. This copy's basic rules plus the subdivision rules, there should be at least five parts. If all four parts are repeating the same sentence, it would really be like adding legs to a snake."
"That's exactly what it means!" The feeling of approval made Ye Xi unconsciously laugh out loud, "So I thought of using the last opportunity to actively use [Distinguishing Dogs] in this basic rule, what do you think?"
"I think it's possible?" Ren Ningning seemed to be thinking about something, "My [Fake Weapon] still has two chances to use it. If you [Distinguishing Dog] verify that rule is fake, I will use [Fake Weapon] to verify the zoning rule, then I will know which area cannot be shopped in."
"Yes!" Diep Tich nodded while looking at Tieu Lang and Duong Ca. Seeing that they did not object, he started using the third [Distinguish Dog] spell.
—— but, that rule is real.
"In each area, you need to complete a spending, before you leave the market, relevant staff will conduct an inspection."
The entire rule does not have a single word of red ink, every single word is true.
That is to say, they really want to spend money in every area, and the repeated emphasis on the zoning rules is not adding value to the situation.
... Is she thinking too much?
Diep Tich was a bit surprised by this result. Actually, she had originally prepared herself mentally, but now that she actually saw this result, she felt even more uncomfortable.
Even props won't deceive people. [Distinguishing Dogs] says it's a real rule, it must be real, otherwise everyone doesn't need to play.
Ren Ningning looked at her frowning appearance and thought that she was in a bad mood because of her wrong analysis. She patted her shoulder with good understanding: "It doesn't matter, the rules are strange, it's most important to clarify the truth and falsehood, don't feel like it's a waste of props huh... Because using props when there is evidence and suspicion, there is no such thing as waste."
"I know." Diep Tich nodded, his doubts still not lessened, but he couldn't think of a reason, so he could only put the matter aside, "Let's look at the merchandise first?"
"Okay." Ren Ning Ning smiled, after speaking, everyone looked at the shelves filled with colorful products.
They quickly discovered that this was actually a "two-in-one" store. Part of the merchandise was a specialty of the bird area, such as some bird-related decorations and jewelry. The other part was a prop store merchandise, which had the same discount as the previous "Line-in Inn Showroom".
Ye Xi looked at the props that he couldn't afford to buy and swallowed his saliva. He frantically comforted himself in his heart, "Just hurry up and it will be enough." At the same time, he realized another problem: "I guess in this area, if buying props doesn't count, it's necessary to buy the bird area's 'souvenir' to consider completing the mission?":,,.
