Chapter 46 Open the cellar, enter the furnace, determine life and death!
"Reasoning?"
Lin Baici was shocked.
Laugh at life and make suffering disappear?
Is this why you have a smiling face? And you, a big bear girl whose intelligence is rated D by God, do you have such a thing as intelligence?
"Yes, I often watch Sherlock Holmes!"
Xia Hongyao made a V-sign and commented on himself: "I should be seven points as good as him!"
"..."
Lin Baici didn't know what Xia Hongyao's reasoning ability was, but with this confidence level,
Explosive.
"Okay, stop talking about it, and hurry up and make a smile!"
Summer red medicine urges.
"You'd better choose the crying face!"
Lin Baici kindly reminded me.
"Why?"
Xia Hongyao raised his head and looked at Lin Baici doubtfully.
"Because if you choose the smiley face you will die!"
After Lin Baici finished speaking in his mind, he sighed and could only make up a lie: "What is a clay figurine? It is creating life. Didn't you listen to what the clay figurine just said?"
"Smashing the clay embryo one hundred and twenty times and holding it high above your head is a kind of ritual, in order to make the clay embryo clinker active!"
"This shows that the clay figurine is alive!"
"Live?"
18D was shocked.
"Don't interrupt!"
Ma Yuan drank lowly.
"Go on!"
Xia Hongyao listened carefully.
The thirty or so passengers nearby also came over.
"Clay figurines are a traditional craft. Since it is traditional, it is inevitable to abide by some old customs. For example, in ancient times, boys were favored over girls. When a boy was born, the whole family was happy, but when a girl was born, the daughter-in-law could not hold her head up."
Lin Bai was making up nonsense, but his tone was cautious and he looked serious.
When he said this, his voice was not loud, and he kept staring at the clay figurine in the distance. If the other party did anything unusual, he would immediately silence it.
"That's right, I heard that in the old days, some poor families were even more ruthless and would give away their newborn baby girls. If they couldn't be given away, they would be thrown into the river and drowned!"
18D nodded fiercely, feeling that what Lin Baici said made sense.
"Your reasoning is more reasonable, then I choose the crying face!"
Xia Hongyao gestured with his thumb and continued carving.
"..."
Lin Bai was speechless.
Do you believe it now?
No more questions?
Lin Baici had originally reorganized his words to increase his persuasiveness, but this saves trouble.
By the way, a girl with D intelligence is not useless!
At least it's easy to deceive.
Ma Yuan was obviously not that easy to fool. He looked at Lin Baici with a puzzled look on his face: "Are you sure?"
Why do I feel like you just made up the reasons at random?
"Do you have a better answer?"
Lin Baici asked back.
"without!"
Ma Yuan lowered his head and smiled.
"Then I'll make a smiley face too!"
18D decided.
"This statement seems to make sense!"
The nearby travelers also believed Lin Baici's words and made their decision.
In everyone's opinion, there must be some logical relationship between which face to choose in this level, and they never thought that it depends on luck.
"Etc., etc!"
Song Li saw everyone starting to carve and became anxious: "This is a matter of life and death, why don't you choose carefully?"
"Didn't Xiao Linzi reason?"
Xia Hongyao smiled with satisfaction: "The logic chain is perfect, no problem!"
"Then... what about the yin and yang face?"
Song Li had a lot to think about: "Is it possible to have half a smiling face and half a crying face?"
"..."
18D was stunned, stopped carving, and looked at Lin Baici: "Don't tell me, it's possible!"
"Yes!"
Song Li was very excited when she saw someone supporting her: "Maybe the clay figurine is misleading us when it says to choose a face. The real answer is to carve a clay figurine that is half smiling and half crying just like it!"
"You are such a clever little kid!"
Ma Yuan chuckled: "This choice is related to life. If you don't trust others, then do it according to your own ideas!"
"That's right, you only have one life, and the decision is in your hands!"
Xia Hongyao is young, only twenty years old, but as a divine hunter, he has experienced several death crises and takes this life-and-death decision very lightly.
"Xiao Linzi, you don't need to persuade her. Everyone's life is their last bargaining chip. It's best to make the decision by yourself. In this way, even if you lose, you can only blame yourself!"
Lin Baici originally planned to persuade Song Li, but Xia Hongyao's words made him change his mind.
Yes!
I am not qualified to make decisions for others. Anyway, I have already told them the correct answer. Whether they listen or not is their problem.
And what if what God said is wrong?
Although it may be small, it is not impossible.
Lin Baici took the time to carve a smile.
18D After listening to Xia Hongyao's words, he looked at Song Li, who was in a panic, and then at Lin Baici, who was calm. He lowered his head and put on a smile.
I believe in Brother Lin!
"you……"
Song Li was so angry that she vomited blood when she saw that everyone stopped paying attention to her.
"We're almost running out of time!"
18D kind reminder.
"I know, you don't need to say anything!"
Song Li yelled back, looking down at the clay sculpture, hesitant.
to be honest,
She is a selfish person. At this critical moment of life and death, she wants to make her own decision. As Xia Hongyao said, even if she chooses the wrong one, it is her choice and she deserves to accept her fate.
However, Song Li wanted to win over a few people.
This way, if everyone makes a mistake together, it can be considered a consolation.
It's just that these people don't listen to Song Li, which makes her very annoyed.
"Hold!"
Song Li cursed and chose a smiley face.
Lin Baici took the carving and carefully carved the clay figurine's facial features, hair, even Adam's apple, auricles, and even fingerprints...
In short, he tried his best to carve out everything a person should have on his body.
The clay figurine on patrol suddenly stopped and announced loudly.
"Time's up, stop carving!"
Most of the passengers put down their carving knives, but only about twenty of them were still rushing to work. They all wasted too much time because they were confused about which face to choose.
The clay figurine didn't say it a second time. It raised its hand and patted it three times.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As soon as the slap from the clay figurine ended, the clay figurine in the hands of these twenty people suddenly came to life, and like a big flea, it popped into their faces.
boom!
These twenty or so unlucky guys were knocked back by the clay figures, but what was even more frightening was that the clay figures melted the moment they hit their faces, forming a red clay mask that stuck tightly to their faces.
.
If your eyes are covered, you can't see, but if your mouth and nose are blocked, you can't breathe.
They grabbed their faces with both hands, trying to pull off the red mud. They also wanted to call for help, but their mouths were blocked and no sound could come out.
Passengers around looked at this horrific scene,
Shivering.
The suffocation of these punished people worsened, and they fell to the ground one by one, twisting and struggling, and some clenched their fists and hit their cheeks hard, but it was all to no avail.
Gradually, they stopped moving.
Only after these people were completely dead did the clay figurine speak again.
"Open the cellar!"
Amidst the elongated singing and shouting of the clay figurines, a hole was opened in the semicircular pit stoves on the earth platform, which were more than one meter high and half a meter in diameter, bulging like a yurt.
"Into the furnace!"
The clay figurine raised its hands and sprinkled a handful of mud powder.
The mud powder flew in the wind, rolled up the earthen platform like snowflakes, and fell on the clay figures on the stone slab in front of the travelers.
"Look!"
18D exclaimed.
The limbs of these newly-made clay figures began to twist and make rustling sounds. After only five or six seconds, some of them started to move.
They spread their short legs and walked towards the stove.
"I...my clay figurine moved!"
Song Li was panicked and didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
Song Li quickly turned her head and looked around.
"Why didn't ours move? Do we have to wait?"
18D is very panicked.
He, Lin Baici, Xia Hongyao, and the clay figure made by Ma Yuan did not move.
"Husband, why didn't your clay figurine move?"
The pregnant woman was frightened when she saw the clay figurine of the man with glasses standing there, and her tears instantly turned into a river and flooded her cheeks.
This means that one of them must be unqualified.
"It's okay! It's okay! As long as you can survive!"
The bespectacled man tried his best to smile and comforted his wife: "That clay figurine said 'enter the furnace', so there must be something wrong with the immobile clay figurine!"
"husband!"
The pregnant woman burst into tears.
"It's okay! It's okay! You have to live well!"
The man with glasses hugged his wife with one hand and stroked her belly with the other hand. His expression was gentle and painful: "Wife, abort him!"
"ah?"
The pregnant woman was dumbfounded and didn’t know what nonsense her husband was talking about.
"With a child, it will be difficult for you to get married!"
The man with glasses also hopes that his wife will give birth to a son and leave a wife for the family, but with such a burden as a child, how can his wife get married?
"Stop...stop talking!"
The pregnant woman hugged the man with glasses tightly.
"We should be qualified!"
The programmer with dark circles stretched out his index finger and pushed up his glasses to appease the people around him.
Just as the man with glasses said, the clay figurine is about entering the furnace, so whose clay figurine enters the furnace now will mean who is qualified.
Because according to common sense, after kneading the clay figurine, it should be fired and shaped, right?
"I successfully passed this step!"
The programmer breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lin Baici.
This big boy impressed him deeply.
Pity!
His clay figure didn't move, which meant he was going to die.
Why!
If he survives, he will definitely become a doctor with superb medical skills in the future!
Noise arose.
The programmer's explanation quickly spread throughout the platform. The players whose clay figurines moved were very happy, and their faces showed the joy of surviving the disaster, while the passengers who did not move their clay figurines felt as if they were mourning for their heirs.
"Brother Lin, what should I do?"
18D's voice trembled: "You can't just sit back and wait for death, right?"
"Fight it, beat it!"
Xia Hongyao stared at the clay figurine and prepared to fight.
Make a last ditch effort.
As for the fact that she failed because of listening to Lin Baici's reasoning, she didn't care at all and didn't complain.
"Can't be happy! Can't be happy!"
Song Li warned herself not to laugh, otherwise it would be too irritating to Lin Baici and the others, but she still couldn't help but feel happy in her heart.
I'm right, but you don't listen to me. Are you dumbfounded now?
"Lin Baici, if you listen to me, you can survive this time!"
Song Li sighed with emotion and expressed a moment of silence for Lin Bai and others.
