End of ten days

"Whether it is "Earth Dragon" or "Tianlong", they are my most respected leaders." Gopher said expressionlessly.

Qi Xia knew that if the gopher really survived under the pressure of the "earth dragon", he must have something to do. Before the "earth dragon" was solved, his position could not change in any way.

"Then let's do this for now." Qi Xia said, "The recruitment plan is in progress. Qiu Shiliu will go back with me, and Luo Shiyi will stay here."

He ignored Gopher and Luo Shiyi, gave Qiu Shiliu a look, then walked out the door, and then went straight to the "Rat House". According to the rules, this "rescue" had been successful. .

As soon as the two entered the house, Qi Xia heard a voice coming from her ears.

"Tsk, how are you doing there?" Saturday asked, "The bell rang just now. Is Sixteen still alive?"

"Alive." Qi Xia replied, "The person has been brought back."

"But... Tsk, let me tell you the truth, things are not going well here." Saturday said cursingly, "There is a red light in my room."

"Mousetrap?" Qi Xia nodded after hearing this: "Ask how the bastard is doing."

"I asked, tsk, is he okay there?" Saturday said with some reluctance, "It seems that I am the most dangerous one at the moment..."

"No." Qi Xia shook his head and said, "It is not dangerous to be caught in a "mousetrap". I just observed that it is impossible to tell whether a mouse has been caught in this room from the outside."

"Tsk, what do you mean...?"

"The gopher said that it is necessary to simulate the real "mousetrap" effect." Qi Xia explained, "If you think about it from this perspective, not only will the 'mouse' not be able to tell that there is a mousetrap in the room, but even the 'cat' will have to You won’t know if you’ve caught a “rat” until you confirm it yourself.”

"Tsk, I still don't understand." Saturday said, "Even if the 'cat' needs confirmation, so what? Am I still being controlled?"

\u003c/di\u003e

"But the probability of you being caught is always the same." Qi Xia said, "Because the "cat" doesn't know whether the "mousetrap" is effective at all, so he is unlikely to waste the opportunity of "searching" to open the trap with “Mousetrap” room.”

"I seem to understand a little bit..."

"That's right." Qi Xia nodded. "The biggest function of the 'mousetrap' is not to catch the mouse, but to waste one round of the mouse's time. In a total of six rounds of the game, this is a waste of one round for the cat." It’s already very valuable.”

"Tsk, but according to you... I'm dead, right?" Saturday said with some confusion, "Now that I've been caught, I've already wasted a round of time. If others come to save me, I won't waste it anymore. One round of time?”

"No, no, no..." Qi Xia shook his head, "I wonder if you have noticed that these five rooms that we need to "search" do not have a "rescue" button at all?"

"you mean……"

"I think as long as the door can be opened, you can escape." Qi Xia said, "Then other rats only need to "search" in your room, and you can escape when the door is opened."

Hearing these words, I gradually breathed a sigh of relief on Saturday: "I see... Then I understand. There will be a lot of people in the next round. If the "cat" doesn't come to me, just let me out."

"No... there will be fewer people in the next round." Qi Xia said, "Whether we can proceed according to my script... mainly depends on the actions of the "Cat" this round."

“There will be fewer people next round?”

"Yes, this time Luo Shiyi stayed in the Mouse House and you were arrested. We are missing two people."

Saturday knew that Qi Xia thought more than herself, so she could only stop talking and stay in the room quietly waiting for the "cat" to act.

"Saturday..." Qi Xia looked at the several peaches of the same size on the table and said, "Please do me one thing."

"Tsk, what's the matter?"

"I forgot to look at it before," Qi Xia said, "Is there anything weird about the plates on the sacrificial table?"

"Plate?" Saturday was stunned for a moment, "Tsk, you mean... the plate with fruit?"

"Yes." Qi Xia nodded, "Is it..."

Qi Xia lowered her head and simulated this feeling with her hands, not quite sure how to express it.

"Tsk, it looks like a very ordinary plate." Saturday said, "Do you suspect there is something wrong...?"

"I..." Qi Xia thought for a few more seconds and organized the words before finally thinking of the word, "Is there something wrong with its pressure?"

"pressure?"

"Will that plate be like an electronic scale?" Qi Xia confirmed, "Is there a spring at the bottom, or... can it be pressed?"

Saturday felt that Qi Xia had indeed asked a question that she had never observed before. She moved the only remaining dragon fruit on the plate, then stretched out her hand to press the plate gently.

"Tsk..." Saturday's brows instantly frowned, "Although it's very slight, the plate can indeed be pressed."

"Then I understand." Qi Xia smiled, "This gopher is much smarter than I thought, and this game is more varied."

"What do you mean...?" Saturday asked, "Tsk, why do I get more and more confused the more I listen to it? What does it mean that the plate can be pressed?"

“Show us that not only can we take away the fruit, but we can also put it on display.”

\u003c/di\u003e

Qi Xia stood in the "Mouse House" and looked out at the colors of the five doors. Then he looked back and thought about the fruits everyone took out in the last round. He felt that he had indeed found the answer.

But which way does this "answer" lead?

The first room has a dark green door with dragon fruit on display.

The second room has a dark yellow door with peaches on it.

The third room has a dark blue door and unknown fruit.

The fourth room has a dark red door with pomegranates on it.

The fifth room has a brown door with small oranges on it.

The problem now should be with the "little oranges". These excellent-looking, round and yellow fruits on the table...how can they be called small oranges?

"Click".

Before Qi Xia could figure it out, the door of the "rat house" was already closed.

It seems that the "night" part of the second round is over, and next is the daytime moment belonging to the "cat".

"Saturday!" Qi Xia shouted, "We must not lose the tortoise in this round, otherwise Qiu Shiliu and I will be the only ones left in the "Mouse House", and the chance of losing the game will be too great."

"I... will we lose the tortoise?" Saturday said, "Tsk, the probability of "Cat" finding the tortoise is one in five... it should be..."

"No..." Qi Xia's eyes turned cold, "One-fifth is too optimistic. I speculate that the "Cat" has set up a "mousetrap" in Room 1. He knows that I am not an ordinary person, so he should be able to Guessing this, I expected that I would not send people to enter rooms one and two at the same time. Now that room three is a forbidden area that has never been set foot in, I still will not send people there... Now only rooms four and two are left. No. 5... "Cat" has never used "Patrol". If he patrols in Rooms 4 and 5 this round, the probability of being caught is 100%. "
