Chapter 2543 - 1151: Welcome to the Savage ‘Ghoul’ Amusement Park!
Lin Baici didn’t have time to bicker with these people. Since the Eater God said this way was a dead end, there was no choice but to go in the other direction.
The tourists who tried to go ahead were dumbfounded.
Without Lin Baici, fighting alone was as good as courting death.
The next second, they all scrambled back, even shoving each other.
No one was stupid; everyone knew that if they ran too slowly, they might get killed.
Their guess was correct.
At the moment when these people retreated, the statue knight on the right swung its sword.
Swish!
The massive sword slashed through the field like the scythe of the Death God, three unlucky souls were immediately cut down, their bodies separated, with blood splattering everywhere.
"Holy crap, that statue just swung again!"
Xu Daguan screamed.
Nobody rejoiced at others’ misfortune, because they would soon face the same crisis.
The T-junction was reached.
Everyone looked at Lin Baici. After witnessing the last scene, no one dared to go past Lin Baici this time.
"I’ll count three, two, one, and we’ll rush together!"
After saying this, Lin Baici raised his right hand and extended three fingers.
Three!
Two!
One!
Charge!
Swoosh!
Everyone surged forward together. Last time, the statue knight’s giant sword slashed downward; if it had slashed horizontally, the affected area would have been much larger.
But this time, they all made it through, and the statue remained motionless.
"What does this mean?"
Bai Jiao looked at Lin Baici.
Since Lin Baici chose the path, he must have noticed something, right?
Bai Jiao wanted to know.
"Handsome, did you find the key point?"
Someone else noticed this too, humbly asking for advice.
"No!"
Lin Baici said honestly, although he had a rough hypothesis.
’Eater God, is the correct path out of this maze the one on the side where the statues don’t cut people?’
Lin Baici inquired.
The Eater God remained silent.
Based on the limited information, Lin Baici deduced that when everyone crossed the T-junction, the statue knight would suddenly attack at a certain moment. If only some people went across, the statue knight would remain still.
Using this method, some people could have a 100% survival rate.
Of course, if one could predict the timing of the statue knight’s attack or was physically capable enough to dodge in time, they could also survive.
But after crossing, the trouble was just beginning.
Despite the casualties and the price paid, that path turned out to be wrong.
The T-junction where the statue didn’t attack was the correct route.
In this way, if given two choices, choosing wrong would mean getting chopped once going there and once more coming back, and surely some would die.
When Lin Baici reached the next T-junction, he shared his theory with everyone.
"Damn, isn’t this just treating people like lab rats?"
Qian Jiahui was stunned. The point was, knowing it was wrong, they would have to go back and suffer the giant sword attack again.
This rule was disgusting.
"Old White!"
Xu Daguan sidled up to Lin Baici and whispered, "With your power, you can force those people to go from behind!"
"If they don’t obey, just kill a couple as a warning!"
Xu Daguan was completely unflustered.
Because he keenly sensed that as long as one was ruthless and lowered the baseline for being human, the whole class could pass safely.
"Xu Daguan, the class monitor is not scum!"
Before Lin Baici could speak, Ji Xinyan retorted.
Not saving others and merely watching was one thing, but forcing others to be sacrificial pawns was another.
Ji Xinyan didn’t want Lin Baici to dirty his hands to save the classmates.
Lin Baici took out the Divine Turtle Shell.
"What’s this? A turtle shell?"
Xu Daguan widened his eyes, "feels mysterious!"
No need to ask, it must be something good.
Lin Baici divined!
"Bow down in reverence to the Three Offerings, not honoring the heavens, but spirits and ghosts!"
An ethereal, mystical voice suddenly sounded, leaving everyone so shocked they hardly dared to breathe. Some who were timid even wished to kneel and bow.
"Alright, stop the theatrics. Just tell me the answer, which side is safer?"
Lin Baici inquired.
"..."
The turtle shell was displeased. When you were alone, it let it slide when you showed no respect, but now in front of so many people, how could you speak to it like that? What do you take it for?
It was a Divine Turtle Shell that connected with the gods and communed with the spirits.
Does it think it could just quit?
"If you don’t speak, do you believe I won’t smash you?"
Lin Baici threatened, pretending to throw the turtle shell.
"Right!"
The turtle shell grudgingly replied.
Lin Baici immediately headed to the right.
Everyone hurriedly followed, anxiously crossing the T-junction.
"Did it work?"
Xu Daguan was overjoyed, as the statue knight did not attack.
Everyone looked at the turtle shell in Lin Baici’s hand, all breathing a sigh of relief. With this thing, they should be able to clear this challenge easily.
"Right!"
"Left!"
"Left!"
"I want offerings, ten, or at least five? Okay, how about just one?"
"Even the Emperor doesn’t lack hungry soldiers; can’t you give me some offerings?"
"Anyway, the sacrifices aren’t yours, right?"
The Divine Turtle Shell was dissatisfied.
"Human sacrifice is not an option; once we’re out, I’ll prepare some offerings for you!"
Lin Baici placated, "Kobe beef? You’ve never tried it, right? And also lamb and pork; I’ll get you the best and most expensive!"
"Following you is my misfortune!"
The Divine Turtle Shell had no choice but to show its true skills in divination.
This game of rules and pollution, Lin Baici’s analysis was spot on; it was about luck and gambling on probability!
Always go in the direction where the statue knight doesn’t swing its sword, and you’ll find the way out of the maze.
Of course, the first group to go at each crossing wouldn’t be cut.
If someone had enough ruthlessness and could control a crowd, they could also pass unharmed.
