Chapter 169
The alert played three times in a row.
Jiang Li and the others immediately rose from their seats and checked the storage compartments beneath them, searching for the Thermal Protective Suit inside.
There were four fixed seats in the metal cabin.
But only three of the seats were fitted with “storage boxes.”
And the openings of all three boxes had been welded shut with metal.
With their bare hands alone, there was no way to open them.
“Damn Aberration. This is just messing with us on purpose!” Liang Chen kicked the storage box twice, furious.
The temperature inside the metal cabin was currently being “kept constant.”
Even so, the dryness and scorching heat inside the compartment still left all three of them deeply uncomfortable.
[Attention, all players. Attention, all players!]
[Among Box 01, Box 02, and Box 03, only one box contains the “Thermal Protective Suit.”]
[You have one chance to choose and one chance to switch. In the end, you may only select one cabinet door.]
[Please make your first choice now-]
Liang Chen and Zhao Siyao both turned to look at Jiang Li.
Although they had never experienced it firsthand, they had occasionally seen Jiang Li break through a situation like this in the Live Streaming Room.
Both of them felt that Jiang Li should be able to tell which box was abnormal.
Whether from being roasted by the heat or from embarrassment, Jiang Li’s fair skin had flushed pink.
She knocked on all three boxes, but the sounds were completely identical.
The sound had probably been tampered with.
“Don’t keep staring at me.” Jiang Li gave a slightly helpless smile and glanced at the two of them.
“There isn’t any difference between these three boxes. They don’t even have the most basic markings. We can only guess.”
Jiang Li’s was Box 01, Liang Chen’s was Box 02, and Zhao Siyao’s was Box 03.
The three of them looked at one another, and none of them had any idea how to solve it.
Jiang Li stood up and lowered her eyes in thought.
Her brows drew together as she paced back and forth inside the metal cabin.
One out of three.
But there were no clues at all.
Could they only guess…
Jiang Li folded her arms, lightly tapping her index finger twice.
One second later, she suddenly lifted her eyes, a flash of brightness crossing them.
“Do either of you have paper and a pen?” Jiang Li looked at Liang Chen and Zhao Siyao with gleaming eyes.
Liang Chen and Zhao Siyao looked at her in confusion, then nodded.
They opened their schoolbags at the same time and rummaged through them.
After putting together a pen and paper, they handed them to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li took the blank sheet and pen, then directly split the paper into three pieces.
On the first, she wrote: “The Thermal Protective Suit is in Box 01.”
On the second, she wrote: “The Thermal Protective Suit is in Box 02.”
On the third, she wrote: “The Thermal Protective Suit is in Box 03.”
Once the three Note slips were finished, Jiang Li set them down and activated the Eye of Truth.
The Eye of Truth could verify whether words or rules were true or false.
Since there were no words in front of her now, she would create the words herself!
As long as it was a question of “true or false,” Jiang Li could easily identify the answer!
“The protective suit is in Box 02.” Jiang Li put away the Note slips and made her judgment in a calm voice.
At the same time, Liang Chen immediately shouted at the speaker inside the metal cabin:
“We choose to open Box 02!”
After Liang Chen made the choice, the door of Box 01 automatically opened with a click.
[An incorrect option has now been eliminated for you.]
[Box 01 is empty.]
[Would you like to switch your choice-]
Liang Chen’s gaze was firm. She was just about to answer, “No,” when Jiang Li suddenly stopped her.
“Wait!”
Jiang Li stared solemnly at the three Note slips in front of her.
They had changed…
The related text for Box 01, Box 02, and Box 03 had all now turned “false.”
All three boxes… were empty!
The Ghost Face Organization could not restrict Jiang Li’s special ability, the Eye of Truth.
So they had tampered with the boxes instead.
They must have used Aberration Power to temporarily empty all three boxes in order to counter Jiang Li’s Eye of Truth.
As for where the Ghost Face Organization would ultimately place the protective suit, there was currently no way to determine that.
[Would you like to switch from choice 02?]
The urging question continued to come from inside the metal cabin.
Jiang Li’s expression darkened.
Switch, or not?
“Jiang Li, whether we switch or don’t, the probability of choosing correctly is one in three, right? Does that mean we can only gamble?” Liang Chen asked her.
Jiang Li propped her chin on her hand and thought for a few seconds without answering.
“That’s not right, is it?” Zhao Siyao refuted.
“The probability should be one in two. Right now, either Box 02 has the protective suit, or Box 03 has the protective suit. Isn’t the probability one in two?”
Liang Chen’s mouth was dry from the heat, and she looked like she was about to cry.
“How did we end up in this kind of situation? Didn’t they say there weren’t any certain-death games? Isn’t this probability problem nothing but luck?”
Liang Chen complained anxiously.
As Jiang Li listened to the two of them, the light in her eyes suddenly shifted.
“Switch! We switch.” Jiang Li’s tone was utterly certain.
