"Let's sort out the current situation."

Alion sat on the floor and looked at the three of them.

"Our goal is to go to the opposite side. To get there, we have to pass through this grid floor. Visually, the length of the grid is a little over one and a half meters. Can you understand the concept of the unit of measurement 'meter'?" Alien gestured with his hands.

About one meter in length.

Get a positive response.

He guessed that the "universal translator" of the crystal earrings might have translated the length measurement unit of meter.

"This is a square grid. Calculated based on the side length of 1.6 meters, the area is 2.56 square meters. There are a total of 8X8 grids on the field, 64 grids. The total is about..." He mentally calculated for two seconds, "163.84 square meters."

/p>

"In order to facilitate communication, let's number each grid, starting from the far left side," Alien pointed to the grid in the far left corner, "going in the other direction, writing A, B, C, D horizontally.

, E, F, G, H, mark 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 vertically. In other words, the grid where Olive was just now was E8. Now she has reached E7, where I am.

The position is C8, Sasha is D8, and Hilo is G8."

"Hey? Wait a minute, wait a minute, slow down a little, let me think about it, D8, D8."

Sasha propped her long staff on the ground and turned twice, looking left and right, her little head filled with question marks.

"Just imagine a 64-square chessboard. Mark A1 in the upper left corner, the right square is B1, and the lower square is A2. According to this rule, it expands to both sides. It's very simple, right? Think of it as a game. Now we

Need to explore the rules."

"According to the rules of the appearance and disappearance of the air wall, we can take turns to act. The air wall will disappear every time we act. When we go to another grid, the air wall will appear again. To sum up, the first rule is'Everyone takes turns

Action, only one person can stand in a grid." Alien stood on the edge of the grid, bent down, swung his arms back and forth, and suddenly jumped forward.

There seemed to be a silent collision. Halfway through the jump, Alien hit the edge of the grid in front of him, bounced back from mid-air, and fell onto the C7 grid.

The grid lit up with yellow light, and the number 2 appeared.

Alien touched his knocked leg, grinning but smiling, as if he was happy that he had verified the rules.

"Rule 2: Each action can only move to adjacent squares." Alion looked at the opposite side, "This way we can reach the opposite side in at least nine rounds."

"If there is no other interference." Olive continued what he said. "There are lights and numbers on the ground. What do you think they are?"

"Countdown? Prompt? It's possible. It still needs to be verified. You should be able to move, Sasha."

Sasha swallowed her saliva, "Anyway... just leave."

She carefully tiptoed on D7 and found that it was safe and sound. The grid still did not light up any color and no numbers appeared.

"It's different from you, but it makes me feel a little uneasy."

"Peace of mind and peace of mind, wealth and honor are in heaven and everyone has his or her own destiny."

"This comfort is too heartless!"

"Hiro, try moving in a diagonal direction." Alion shouted to Hilo.

"Okay."

Shiloh stretched out his hand and shook it to confirm that there was no barrier in front of him, and he stepped to the position of F7.

In an instant, a yellow light lit up on the ground, and the number 2 appeared in the middle of the grid.

"Do you understand?" Olive thought for a while and then asked Alien.

"It's not even close, why don't you take a step forward and try?"

Olive simply took a step forward and came to the E6 grid.

This time there was no reaction from the ground grid, but the invisible barrier around the grid trapped her inside.

Operation Arion.

"If I'm not mistaken," Alion took a step forward and came to the C6 cell, "this one will be 1."

As soon as he finished speaking, the C6 grid flashed with a dazzling red light, and the bright red number 1 appeared in the grid, the red light sounding a silent alarm.

"It's true." Alien said.

"I probably guessed it," Olive said, "Should we share mutual verification? You go first."

"Okay, it's actually very simple. Do you know there is a game called 'Mine Sweeper'? Well, it seems that there is no such thing in another world. These numbers and colors are not countdowns, they are reminders. They prompt some special grids.

The position, the number represents the distance from that special grid, and judging from the color changes from far to near, green, yellow, and red, I guess it is a reminder not to touch that grid."

"Uh, that means?" Sasha asked.

"That is to say, the square where the number 3 appears indicates that it is the third square horizontally, vertically, and diagonally. One of the squares is a square that is warned not to be touched. Let's temporarily call it 'Lei Ge'.

3 means 3 blocks away, 2 means 2 blocks, and 1 means 1 block. If it is not displayed, it is blank. It may mean that it will not be displayed beyond 3 blocks, so the currently confirmed mines are C5 and H5."

Sasha was thinking. Sasha drew dots on the grid through the air. Sasha deliberately showed a look of sudden realization.

"Are there other possibilities for digital prompts?" Shiloh asked.

"At present, only my above-mentioned rules are logical, which can be cross-verified. At first, I considered other situations. For example, 3 means that the nearest land grid needs to be moved 3 squares. In this case, every number can be

Use a range graphic to mark the possible locations of the land grids, but in this way the distribution of adjacent numbers must increase, decrease, or remain unchanged. It is impossible for Olive to directly change from 2 to blank when she goes from E7 to E6.

state, there will be no situation where you move from G8 to F7 and directly change to 2." Alien replied.

Shiloh thought for a moment and nodded.

Alien continued to explain: "When I walked to C8, the prompt was 3. Without going beyond the grid, I could lock the three grids C5, F5 and F8. But before Olive stepped on E8, the prompt was 3, so

Excluding the possibility of F8, the blank space of D7 and the blank space of E6 prove that the mine is not F5, so C5 must be the mine."

"Then the number 3 appeared on the E8 grid where Olive stood at the beginning. It can be inferred that B8, H8, B5, E5 and H5 exist on the ground grid. Then the number 3 on C8 proves that B8 is not, the blank G8 proves that H8 is not, and the blank D7 proves that B5 is not

, E6 is blank to prove that E5 is not, and only H5 is left after the elimination method." Alien smiled, "Look, it is still very simple."

Olive nodded to express her agreement with his inference, and then Shiloh nodded convinced.

What? Shiloh, do you also understand? I’m the only one who doesn’t know what’s going on?

Sasha nodded and smiled, and Sasha stopped thinking.

Alien held out three fingers: "So rule three: the grid numbers indicate the distance of the land grid, and the white grid indicates that the distance is more than 3 grids."

"How many land grids will there be in total?" Shiloh asked.

"It's hard to say, but as long as the last row is not full of mines, it will be fine. Sasha, it's your turn."

Sasha Mechanical turned to look at Alien.

Ah? Who am I? Where am I? Where am I going?

The big eyes are full of confused questions.

"If you don't have any ideas, just go to D6 and listen to me." Alien commanded.

"Huh? Do you think I have no judgment? Of course I know such a simple thing!" Sasha protested.

Okay, D6.

Sasha moves forward!

D6 lights up with a dangerous red light, and the number 1 appears.

But Sasha is not panicked at all!

As long as she looks confident and calm, Sasha will be smart and elegant today.

"With number 2, the next step is safe no matter which direction you go. I'll just keep moving diagonally to the untouched grid, right? This way I can get more information."

Shiloh got two likes!

He walked to G6, and similarly, G6 also lit up with a red light and the number 1 appeared - this was expected, and it also proved that H5 was a minefield.

"Speaking of which, there is another question that I haven't figured out. What is the purpose of the 'turn-based' design of this game? It seems completely unnecessary at the moment."

At the end of this round, Alion suddenly raised a question.

"I hope there won't be any more trouble...huh?"

Olive touched the edge of the grid, but the barrier was not opened. At the same time, in front of her sight, four grids apart, at position E1, a black image was gradually distorted by light.

An unknown rustling sound appeared on the grid field.

It was a heavily armored knight, whose appearance looked somewhat similar to the metal colossus patrolling the corridor, except that the size of the knight was closer to that of an ordinary person, but it was almost two meters tall. He carried a huge sword on his shoulder.

The armor looks solemn and sharp. A red feather grows on the back of the helmet, and a vicious red light flashes in the gap between the helmet.

The giant sword knight took a step forward and came to E2. The color and number of the prompt did not appear on E1, but the same on E2.

"It seems we can't do what you want." Alien said.

"What a pity. Do you think those two boxes are blank? Or is it simply that the prompt will not be displayed?"

"The former is another matter, but if it is the latter, if you think about it, if there are characters who do not share information in a game, this probably means..."

"Enemy." Her words were final.

The invisible barrier that imprisons Olive's actions has opened.
To be continued...
