Chapter 456 Single Test
When the time comes, everyone in the square will be notified to go to the sign-in area to confirm their registration by fingerprint. The final check-in time is set at five minutes after the specified time. Those who fail to arrive after this deadline will be completely eliminated.
At first, Xia Wange thought that he could use this to move his ranking up, but he didn't expect that everyone came quite early and were extremely punctual.
All ten assistant referees were present. Xia Wange and Master Li looked at each other, and both of them looked away in a very cautious manner. One of them almost had "I don't know you" written on his face, and the other almost had "I know you but I'm going to pretend not to know you" written on his face.
After registering, Xia Wange glanced at the other assistant referees and found another familiar face - Qian Jia.
He was the Feng Shui master who was rumored to be good at curing illnesses and had been causing trouble for her during the bridge incident and wanted to kick her out.
It was not known whether this competition was more authoritative or what. Qian Jia just glanced at her and did not say much. Xia Wange had a vague premonition in her heart that this Qian Jia might be an undercover agent lurking among the assistant referees.
Among the contestants on their side, there must be more than one undercover agent besides her. If there was only one undercover agent, it would not have been so easy for her to fool the examiners and lie to them that she was also an undercover agent. The person named A just now was suspicious, and there must be one in B as well. Plus her...
I just don't know what the undercover agent on the other side wants to get from this competition. Is it just to help the people on the other side win the championship? That would take so much effort and make so many arrangements. The investment and return are completely disproportionate.
It's a pity that her third eye can only observe qi, and she is only good at face reading, horoscopes, drawing talismans and dealing with soul-related matters. Predicting future events is enough for ordinary people, but it is difficult for her to make accurate predictions when facing experts.
But the same thing still applies, since it has come, just make the best of it, all demons and monsters are useless in the face of absolute strength.
After everyone signed in, under the supervision of the assistant referee, the organizer put the ping-pong balls with the assessment content written on them into a rolling machine. The whole process was done in the same way as welfare lottery draws, and a combination of questions in AB mode were used. For example, A is some content, and B has some content written on it. After drawing two balls from group A, two balls from group B are randomly drawn, and the combination of them is the topic of this test.
When she was showing them just now, she saw words like "draw", "ride", "draw", "drive away" written on the balls of Group A, while the balls of Group B seemed to have some nouns like "talisman", "ghost", "yin and yang road"...
In short, it is quite fair, and the difficulty is completely random. If something is drawn like "Drive Away" or "Yin Yang Road", the difficulty will be no less than when she was silent on a street.
Fortunately, it is a combination mode of double A and double B. Even if the draw is of such high difficulty, the difficulty will be reduced as long as you add something else, such as drawing "drive away", "drawing"; "talisman" and "Yin Yang Road".
This can be explained as just driving away the ghosts and drawing the Yin-Yang road on the talisman, which is very basic.
A group of people in the square were staring at the ping-pong lottery machine that was constantly rolling under the big light in the middle. Seeing this scene, Xia Wange, who was standing next to Lu Qiu, suddenly smiled. She whispered to Lu Qiu, "Only a metaphysics competition would do this in the middle of the night. If it were during the day, people around would probably report it."
"I've always been curious, aren't they afraid of passers-by seeing them?" Lu Qiu asked in a low voice, "It really looks strange from a distance."
If he encountered this, he might really call to report that someone was gathering to perform a cult ritual.
"There are people watching around the square." Xia Wange said, "There will be formations or talismans set up around it to make you avoid this side and not enter the square."
Xia Wange looked around and whispered in Lu Qiu's ear, "You must remember to keep the bone spur with you at all times."
"Yeah." Lu Qiu nodded, "I always carry it with me, don't worry."
Xia Wange nodded. Since she set a trap for Lu Qiu, she had tried her best to place the bone spur here for Lu Qiu so that he would wear it close to his body to block the purple aura on his body. It must be said that the bone spur was really effective. Even if she stood next to Lu Qiu and used her third eye to see, she could hardly see the overflowing purple aura. There were many talented people in this metaphysics competition, and there must be people who could observe aura. The purple aura on Lu Qiu's body was a big trump card that could not be exposed casually.
In fact, when she was kidnapped before, the bone spur was also taken away. However, at that time, those who sought out Lu Qiu for sparring were all righteous people, who did not have the agility of souls. In addition, he later released the purple energy, so many ghosts and monsters dared to provoke him... but they all died miserably.
"I just don't know if I can help you in this individual competition." Lu Qiu said softly, interrupting her thoughts.
Xia Wange looked at Lu Qiu. She had just learned that even in an individual competition, the assistants brought by the contestants could help. If it was just a matter of luck, then Lu Qiu would definitely be able to win. She was just afraid that it wasn't...
While the two were talking, the spinning ping-pong balls fell out one after another. The organizer's impartial staff arranged the four ping-pong balls, and soon the drawn contents appeared in the group.
Ball A represents "ride" and "pick", and ball B represents "long distance" and "red spider lily".
There was a pre-prepared question behind each word, and soon the question consisting of these four words was also posted in the group.
【Take public transportation, pick the red spider lilies by the Santu River, and return to People's Square. 】
Xia Wange looked at the title and fell into deep thought.
The Sanzu River is the boundary that separates life and death, this shore and the other shore. The dead souls need to cross this river to reach the underworld, and it is indeed a very long distance for them to reach the Sanzu River, which is in line with the title.
And it's just the red spider lily in the Santuo River. The difficulty is medium. It's a little farther than the Yellow Spring Road, but closer than other places.
By public transportation...
There are only a few faster options, the dreaded "midnight taxi" and the "midnight bus" that almost took Cao Niannian away. From the name you can tell that taxis are faster, so if she wants to get there faster, she has to find places where "midnight taxis" often appear.
This question was difficult, at least much more difficult than the one on the invitation letter, but it was okay for her.
but......
In a nutshell.
Lu Qiu has no say in this question; it all depends on her.
"Is there anything I can help with?" Lu Qiu looked at the question and asked curiously.
"Wish me good luck." Xia Wange checked her backpack. "Wish I can catch a taxi soon and take me to Santu River, pick the flowers and come back."
After waiting for the countdown to begin, Xia Wange ran first to the place where "Midnight Taxi" often appeared.
