Qin Bai counted them and found that there were indeed only 49 people.
He remembered clearly that there were indeed 50 people before they came in, so why was there one less all of a sudden?
At that moment, someone cried out in fear: "Could the tremor just now have taken someone away?"
This possibility cannot be ruled out. The tremor was so violent that no one noticed whether anyone was missing.
"As expected, these buttons are dangerous. If you're not careful, you could die here."
"Isn't what you're saying obvious? The key question is, which button do we need to press?"
A group of people started arguing.
Qin Bai didn't say anything, but silently walked to the side of each button and reached out to touch the wall.
"Huh? This is..."
Qin Bai discovered something and then touched the other walls. He touched all five walls except the top one.
"Everyone, I've noticed something: the temperature of each wall is different. Perhaps the pattern lies within it."
Qin Bai shouted.
Immediately, someone went to feel each wall and they discovered that the walls did indeed have different temperatures.
"Whoever has a sharp mind, think about what patterns there are?"
"It's just a simple temperature difference, how can there be any pattern to it?"
"Not necessarily. Now that we've made a discovery, there might be other clues."
After searching again, someone noticed something: there were one or two black dots on each wall.
These black dots are so inconspicuous that they are almost invisible unless you look closely.
"So far, we've only found one or two black dots. Even with the help of a few people with good eyesight, we've only found one black dot at the top. It seems like these black dots are quite important."
"So here's the question: what's the relationship between the black spots and temperature?"
A group of people gathered together and began to discuss solutions.
But just then, the temperature in the room suddenly rose. If the temperature was normal before, it was now obviously very hot.
"No, the room temperature is rising. We can't stay here any longer!"
Some people realized this and their expressions changed drastically.
"But which button do we need to press?"
Many people started to get anxious. If everyone hadn't been watching each other closely to prevent anyone from pressing the button randomly, someone probably would have already taken action by now.
Qin Bai was also thinking. Just then, he seemed to have thought of something and looked at a button on the wall. It was the first button that had been pressed.
If he remembered correctly, there was a black dot on that button, and the temperature seemed to be the third highest among the currently known temperatures.
"I see!"
Qin Bai shouted.
All eyes were on him, and someone asked anxiously, "Friend, just tell us what you know, so we can all think of it together."
"Look closely, there are six walls in total. Three walls have one black dot, and three walls have two black dots. Does this represent odd and even numbers?"
“When we first came in, there were 50 people, which is an even number. But the person pressed the button with a black dot, which is an odd number. As a result, the room shook, and we were one person short.”
"So I suspect that we have to press the button corresponding to whether we are odd or even. We are odd now, so we can only press the wall button with a black dot."
At this point, someone asked, "But if there are three odd-numbered buttons in a room, which one should you press?"
"I don't know either. I'm just giving my guess. Now there are only two odd-numbered buttons left, so we have at least a 50% chance of success."
Qin Bai shrugged.
No one blamed Qin Bai, since they hadn't thought of these things yet.
Most importantly, the temperature is still rising, and if this continues, they will be roasted alive.
"Everyone, there are only two buttons now. Let's each raise our hands to decide which button to press."
This is a good idea; everyone can participate, and even if it fails, no one will say anything.
"Then raise your hand if you want to press the button on your foot!"
Soon, more than half of the people raised their hands.
As for the other wall, very few people raised their hands.
"Okay, since this is our collective decision, let's find someone to press the button."
So everyone's attention was focused on the first person to press the button.
As soon as the two men holding the man's arms let go, he pounced like a wild horse and pressed the button on the ground.
Everyone waited, watching what would happen next, but strangely enough, they found that nothing around them had changed.
"Huh, why hasn't anything happened? Did I choose the wrong one?"
"Wait a minute, wouldn't it be dangerous to choose the wrong one?"
"Wait, we pressed the wrong button last time and there's one person missing. Let's count quickly."
After counting, they found that there were still 49 people, which confused them.
Only Qin Bai's gaze fell on one of the buttons, noticing the difference: "No, we've arrived in a completely new house. The buttons have been restored, and the position of the black dot has changed."
Qin Bai's words immediately made them realize that something was wrong. Sure enough, after checking, they found that all the pressed buttons had been restored.
This is the second room. Having learned from the experience of the first room, they immediately looked for the dark spots.
At this moment, however, they seemed to have forgotten about the temperature.
After finding the wall with three odd-numbered black dots, they were in a bit of a predicament.
I was lucky in the first room, I chose the right one out of two, but now it's a three-choice room, how do I choose now?
The group was in a dilemma, but ultimately decided to raise their hands to choose.
Ultimately, the buttons on the ground had the largest number of users.
It was the same obsessive-compulsive man who went straight up and pressed the button without any hesitation.
But this time, something unexpected happened.
In the blink of an eye, Qin Bai discovered that most of the people in front of him had disappeared, leaving less than ten people in the room.
"Where have all those people gone? Could they all be dead?"
A middle-aged man looked terrified.
"As long as we survive, that's all that matters. There's nothing we can do about the others."
It's a woman's voice.
Qin Bai looked at the button on the ground, which was still pressed, meaning they were still in the second room.
"There are two buttons left. Let's vote again by raising our hands."
Qin Bai said.
But after what had just happened, they were a little scared for a moment.
"Wasting any more time won't help, the room temperature will gradually rise... Wait, can you guys feel that this room seems a little warmer than the previous one?"
"Yes, the temperature seems to have risen quite a bit; I'm drenched in sweat."
