    Chapter 44 Equivalent Replacement

    The countdown begins.

    Five minutes is more than enough for An Wujiu, but this time the challenge is not something he can complete alone, which is annoying.

    He stood where he was, with an uncooperative, unhelpful attitude, watching them go about their business. Josh hadn't figured out how to do it, but he was very anxious about the non-stop countdown. "Anyway, let's ask first, don't stay."

    So he pulled Wu You up and brought it in front of the robot.

    "Which of us has the bigger number?"

    The robot didn't answer immediately, but seemed to be very slow, stopped for a few seconds, and then said, "Player Josh's number is bigger."

    "Is it much bigger?" Wu You asked.

    The robot emits an alarm sound, and a red × appears on the display on its head.

    "Players are prohibited from asking descriptive questions about numbers."

    "Okay." Wu You didn't continue, "Then you are older than me now."

    "Yes." Josh hurried to find Shen Ti again, but Shen Ti had already paired with Nan Shan at this time, and was about to ask, so Josh had to go to Yang Erci and found that Yang Erci and Zhong Yirou had already paired. Nan Shan and Zhong Yirou seemed to be even more unable to stand after they went up to the third floor. They didn't even have the strength to ask questions, and their reaction speed became very slow.

    Josh had to come to An Wujiu, who had been silent for a while.

    "No blame, let's go and ask who's number is bigger." Josh was a little anxious.

    An Wu Jiu raised his chin, "Look, how much time is left now."

    I just asked a question, found a few people, waited in line, and there were only 4 minutes and 14 seconds left.

    "How did it go so fast?"

    An Wu Jiu smiled and deliberately sighed, "It took five minutes to watch a little bit, how come it's so little."

    "The efficiency is too low." Josh himself understood.

    He looked at the other people, and he just knew who was bigger and who was smaller. If he wanted to sort them uniformly, the stupidest way would be to ask someone who was smaller than himself, and then try to see if there was anyone else who was better than that. The smaller is even smaller, and then continue to touch. The best result is that every person you meet is smaller than the last smaller person, so it goes straight down.

    But obviously, this situation is an extreme case, and there will inevitably be a situation where a person's number is greater than the previous smaller person. In this way, the previous larger person will be compared with this person again.

    There are many people who can pair up, and there is only one robot. If this goes on, time is obviously not enough.

    Josh understood this and became more anxious. "But if we don't complete this challenge, we will be disqualified from continuing the game.

    An Wu Jiu raised his eyebrows, he was clearly in the middle of it, but he didn't look like he had anything to do with him.

    "You shouldn't come to me, you should go to the green-eyed guy."

    "You mean Shen Ti?" Qiao hoped to look in Shen Ti's direction to see that he was being dragged by others, like a tool man who had no emotion but was only compared, and looked ignorant.

    An Wu Jiu smiled, "He's pretending to be stupid."

    "I can't see him pretending to be stupid. You go to him and I'll teach you how to say it."

    Waiting in line for the result made Shen Ti a little annoyed. There is no paper or pen here, and the others can only dictate the order of memorization, reciting them over and over again, causing him a headache.

    His arm was suddenly pulled, and when Shen Ti turned around, it was Josh. Shen Ti didn't say anything, just raised his eyebrows and said to him, "Is there something wrong?"

    Josh looked a little embarrassed, but because of the time, he said it directly, and said it quickly, "No blame wants me to tell you, he is still very cold now, if you continue to play stupid, he will take you Take off your pants."

    Shen Ti looked at him, An Wujiu raised his index and middle fingers, pointed at his eyes, then at him, making a "watching you" gesture towards him.

    Shen Ti glanced at the time, 3 minutes and 43 seconds, then sighed and clapped his palms at everyone.

    "Don't ask."

    "Time is running out." Wu You said.

    Shen Ti didn't pay attention to what he said, and repeated, "Don't ask, come here. Everyone come first and stand in a line casually."

    "Whatever?" Josh was puzzled.

    Although Wu You usually doesn't deal with him, he still does it and drags Nan Shan, who has no strength, and Yang Erci also helps Zhong Yirou.

    In the end, An Wu Jiu was still pulled by Shen Ti by his wrist.

    The seven of them stood in the following order:

    Shen Ti - An Wujiu - Josh - Wu You - Nan Shan - Zhong Yirou - Yang Erci.

    The moment he stood still, Shen Ti said to the robot, "Please compare our sizes two by two, starting with me and An Wujiu, and then An Wujiu's Josh, let's compare and tell us the answer."

    "This is considered a pairing, no more than two people."

    The robot heard the instructions and did as Shen Ti asked.

    He came to Shen Ti and An Wujiu, "The number of players Shen Ti is bigger."

    Hearing this sentence, Shen Ti immediately grabbed An Wu Jiu's arm and forcibly changed positions with him, before the robot had time to move.

    Then, the robot moved to the right and came between Shen Ti and Josh after the exchange, "The number of player Josh is bigger."

    This time, Shen Ti did not ask An Wujiu to exchange with Josh.

    The robot moved right and came between Josh and Wu You, "Player Josh's number is bigger."

    Shen Ti immediately said to Wu You, "Wu You, change seats with Josh."

    Wu You did as he did, and Josh moved to the right. At this time, the robot just came to the position of Josh and Nan Shan after the exchange, "The number of player Nan Shan is even bigger."

    Shen Ti didn't speak, so Josh didn't move either.

    The robot continued to the right, comparing Nan Shan and Zhong Yirou, "Player Zhong Yirou's number is bigger."

    Their order is also not required to be swapped.

    Finally, the robot stopped in front of Zhong Yirou and Yang Erci, "Player Zhong Yirou's numbers are even bigger."

    "Yang Erci, exchange with her." Shen Ti said.

    As instructed, Zhong Yirou came to the far right of the team. At this point, after a seamless series of questions, 53 seconds passed, and the order of the teams on the field became:

    An Wujiu - Shen Ti - Wu You - Josh - Nan Shan - Yang Erci - Zhong Yirou

    Shen Ti immediately said, "Robot, let's start with An Wujiu."

    The robot returned to the far left, "Player Shen Ti has a bigger number."

    Move right, compare Shen Ti and Wu You, "Player Shen Ti has a bigger number."

    Wu You was very smart, and he took the initiative to change positions with Shen Ti.

    The robot moved, comparing Shen Ti and Josh after transposition, "Player Josh is bigger."

    Then, the robot keeps moving to the right and keeps comparing. The results that can be compared are the same as those of the previous round, and no one needs to exchange.

    Almost a minute passed.

    "Robot, let's start with An Wujiu."

    "Is it still better?" Wu You asked.

    Shen Ti glanced at the time, "Last time, just to be on the safe side."

    The bot did just that, comparing it from the far left to the far right of the line, without any need to swap positions.

    50 seconds left in the countdown.

    "In this order, increasing from left to right." Shen Ti said.

    "Are players sure to submit the results?"

    "Sure."

    The countdown stops at 47 seconds and the results are submitted. After a while, numbers appeared above each of them.

    An Wu Jiu is 5, Wu You is 32, Shen Ti is 178, Josh is 456, Nan Shan is 1209, Yang Erci is 4622, Zhong Yirou is 8999.

    They are in order from largest to smallest, nothing wrong.

    "Congratulations on completing this little challenge, please choose the left or right direction."

    Two holographic projection signs appeared in front of them, the one pointing to the left said [Return Service], and the one pointing to the right was [Order Service]

    An Wu Jiu noticed that, except for the sliding doors on the left and right sides, the large and small wall opposite the door they entered the third floor should be the same as the rainbow door of the circus theater downstairs, an entrance door. The door to the great room in the middle of the zigzag.

    "Left or right?" the robot asked.

    Josh was a little confused, what kind of order was returned, "Then... why don't you choose an order, isn't it a bit strange to see the return service directly?"

    They just picked the side of the order hastily.

    "Wait a minute." An Wu Jiu raised his hand, "Can we separate?"

    The robot turned around, aimed at An Wujiu, and replied, "No, once players make a decision, they can only act at the same time."

    Shen Ti laughed, walked over and hooked his shoulder, "You just die and get rid of our hearts."

    An Wu Jiu glanced at him, smiled back, and pushed away the hand he put on his shoulder.

    The sliding door on the left rises slowly, finally revealing the passage inside, which is not the same as the previous corridor. The walls in this passage are completely made of steel, which has the feeling of a space capsule, but the internal structure is not four or four. The corner corridors of the square cuboid are columnar inwards, like pipes, slanting inwards.

    "Please come in."

    The corridor is relatively narrow, and there can only be two people side by side at most. At the top of the aisle, there are built-in sensor lights every 30 centimeters. The first two people stepped in, and the lights turned on one by one, creating a circle of cool white halos on the ground, like some kind of welcoming ceremony. .

    An Wu Jiu and Shen Ti waited at the end. Shen Ti looked at the corridor, without warning, he thought of the stage of the theater on the second floor, An Wu Jiu on the stage was locked in a bird cage, black velvet covered his figure.

    At this time, An Wu Jiu was not idle either, answering Yang Erci's questions one after another.

    "You're just a college student?" Although Yang Erci only turned her face slightly, her skeptical expression could be seen at a glance, "Then did you participate in any projects as a clinical volunteer when you were in school and be a subject."

    An Wu Jiu frowned.

    Yang Erci showed an interest beyond ordinary people in the strange phenomena in her body.

    She must know something.

    "I didn't participate."

    Yang Erci was a little skeptical, "Really?"

    The light of the corridor shone on An Wu Jiu's clean face, it was hard to tell the truth from the words that this face said.

    But what An Wujiu said was indeed true.

    Not only did he have no trace of participating in the experiment in his memory, but there was also no sign that he would separate good from evil.

    If he had it before, at least he had the memory of the first time he had the disease. He lost his memory after he entered the altar. The memory before the game existed, but he didn't remember that he would change his personality.

    Thinking of being trapped in a glass cover before, the rabbit seemed to know his state of separation between good and evil.

    These things come together in a direction that is not yet clear.

    But it must not be accidental, nor natural.

    "Could it be that after he entered the altar, it was too dangerous, so this situation was inspired, for self-protection." Wu You, who was walking in front, asked.

    "It's very difficult," said Yang Erci. "It's almost impossible for this extreme characteristic to form without external causes."

    The subtext in her words was the suspicion of human manipulation.

    Josh also found it very strange, "Self-protection? It's definitely not. The state before blameless protects all of us, and that state won't stimulate the mechanism that needs protection at all."

    "Yes." When Yang Erci mentioned the project, Wu You felt a little uncomfortable and thought of some experiments.

    But An Wujiu denied it, did he really not participate?

    Everyone chatted hotly.

    An Wu Jiu followed behind, his wrist was suddenly grabbed and forced to stop. He knew it was Shen Ti, and he had been pulled too many times, and he even remembered the feeling of being caught by Shen Ti's wrist.

    An Wu Jiu turned his face lazily, the eyelashes under the cold light cast a long shadow on the lower eyelid, "What do you want to ask me?"

    His ending sound is a bit frivolous, in fact, even in his upright and kind state, when An Wu Jiu speaks to him, he will also have some small upward endings, very slight, but very special.

    An Wu Jiu waited, thinking that Shen Ti also wanted to ask some questions related to his uncertain temperament, and felt bored.

    "I want to ask, if that teleportation magic was real, and you came out of the bird cage on the right, what would you do?"

    This question was inexplicable, An Wu Jiu was stunned for a while, and soon laughed again.

    "You are so strange."

    Does this question make any sense?

    "What would you do..." An Wu Jiu held Shen Ti's wrist with his backhand, his thumb pressed against the bones of his wrist, his eyes glanced upwards, then fell back to Shen Ti's blue-green pupils, and raised his eyebrows.

    "Why should I tell you? Is there any benefit?"

    Shen Ti looked at him directly, without escaping, "I will give you whatever benefits you want."

    "One benefit is not enough, in short, give me 3,000 points first, and I'll think about the rest in a while." An Wu Jiu lion opened his mouth, originally just wanted to play, but Shen Ti really just gave him the transfer.

    "So generous." An Wu Jiu smiled, "Okay, let me tell you, what will I do... I guess I'll see if there is any problem with the bird cage. Then I'll see what the rabbit has to say, do you want me to come down?"

    "What if he let you down?" Shen Ti asked again.

    "Hey, this is the second question." An Wujiu suggested.

    Just after he finished speaking, Shen Ti gave him another 3,000 yuan, and An Wujiu was stunned.

    Just such a broken question, is it really worth so much money?

    This guy makes too much money.

    "Okay, after coming down... I was still the same as I was at that time. I guess I'll come to your side. I didn't go together before."

    Shen Ti's heart moved.

    This was different from what he expected when he encountered the fake An Wu Jiao. He originally thought that the real An Wu Jiu would not come towards him, but his prediction was wrong.

    Perhaps it was a kind of disbelief at work, and he couldn't help but ask, "What about your current state?"

    An Wu Jiu laughed as if hearing a joke.

    What's the difference between now and before, it's obviously him.

    "Even in the current state, I will be the first to find you." But he gave a rather bad reason.

    "I'm going to walk up to you, grab your chair, and sit by myself."

    Shen Ti looked into his eyes, and the lips that twitched when he smiled.

    At this moment, there was a complex emotion in his heart that had never been seen before.

    Just because An Wujiu said "I will come to you", he unexpectedly showed a strange excitement.

    Shen Ti couldn't understand.

    After An Wu Jiu answered the question that didn't mean much to him, what he was thinking about was how to deal with this guy Shen Ti.

    He collected all the memories of Shen Ti in his mind, thinking that he was wearing a strange mask, playing rock-paper-scissors with himself, eating candy like a child, having a craving period, and like to learn tongues.

    But he was bent on dying, and he was not greedy for money. When he thought about it carefully, he didn't seem to care about anything.

    That……

    "Ah, I thought of a benefit." An Wu Jiu glanced at the others who had already walked in front, and then turned back to Shen Ti. He slowed down again, lips parting lazily, the edge of his teeth brushing the tip of his tongue.

    The voice is very light, only a breath.

    "Let me kiss you, how about that?"
