The Door of Life and the Door of Death, One Question

The Power of Barriers released by Chu Xuanyuan was somewhat mysterious.

Chen Ning was surprised to find himself in a secret room.

The sealed room had no windows.

There are only two identical doors.

Two more figures stood in front of the door.

A figure in white.

A figure dressed in black.

The two men were expressionless, their gazes blank.

Just as Chen Ning was completely confused, Chu Xuanyuan's voice rang out:

"Sect Leader Chen, I rarely personally invite others to join the Three Quarters Past Noon, yet you refused. It must be because you haven't thought it through yet. So, please take your time to consider it carefully. I have plenty of time to wait for your decision."

"If one year isn't enough, I'll wait for you for ten years. But you don't need to worry or be bored. I always leave a way out when I set up a scheme. Have you seen those two doors?"

As Chu Xuanyuan's voice rang out.

Chen Ning also paid attention to the two identical doors again.

"One of the doors is the door of life, and the other is the door of death. Sect Leader Chen, you need not harbor any illusions. The door of death I set up will surely kill even Nine-Star Martial Venerable, while the door of life allows you to escape directly."

"Furthermore, Sect Leader Chen, you should have seen those two living dead puppets I created, right? The key to this Gate of Life and Death lies with them. Listen carefully, these two puppets know which of these two gates leads to life and which to death, but one of them will only tell the truth, while the other will only lie."

"You can only ask one of them, and only one question. Alright, this is the gift I prepared for Sect Leader Chen. By the way, just a reminder, I've set up this challenge three times, and no one has ever escaped..."

Chu Xuanyuan finished speaking.

The current situation is quite clear.

Two doors, one for life, one for death.

The two puppets, one black and one white, one only speaks the truth and the other only lies.

You can only ask one question to determine which door is the exit.

It sounds like it's at hell difficulty.

It's safe to assume that most of those previously trapped by Chu Xuanyuan would not choose to take the risk.

I'd rather be trapped here than make a rash choice.

Once you enter the dead end.

He was almost certainly going to die.

Although Chen Ning did not know Chu Xuanyuan's cultivation level.

But with that stubbornness of his, he's definitely a ruthless character.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to form an organization like Three Quarters Past Noon.

And they have such great power that they can recruit the leaders of super-powerful forces.

Although there are strong and weak forces among the super powers, for example, those ranked in the bottom nine are far inferior to those ranked in the top ten.

But it is still a behemoth.

This is also major news.

"Sect Leader Chen, I will give you ample time to consider. You must think carefully: will you join me in building a new world, or will you waste your lifespan here, causing the Nine Provinces to lose a peerless figure..."

After saying this, Chu Xuanyuan left.

As for when he will return, that's entirely up to him.

This is the only way to better manipulate the trapped person.

He once used this method to imprison a powerful figure for a hundred years. Even after that person asked the puppet questions, he still couldn't distinguish between the Gate of Life and the Gate of Death.

Yet they dared not make a hasty choice.

Then.

She waited for him for a hundred years.

The secret room was completely dark.

Unable to distinguish between day and night.

It was extremely agonizing.

Finally, under the endless silence, the powerful figure could no longer endure it.

They had no choice but to submit to Chu Xuanyuan.

Now.

He also wanted to see what kind of outcome Chen Ning, whom he valued so highly, would bring him...

Even if it's a mistaken entry into a deadly trap.

Chu Xuanyuan showed no regret.

On the contrary.

He will only feel extremely enjoyable.

Driven by the thrill of controlling everything.

He was very much looking forward to seeing what Chen Ning would choose.

Are they cowards who are trapped here forever?

Or did we mistakenly enter a deadly gate?

Or perhaps, by sheer accident, a door to life was opened?

As for using those two puppets to distinguish between the Gate of Life and Death, he didn't think that was possible.

"Ding! Host detected that you are in a predicament. Congratulations, you have triggered a choice."

Option 1: Joining at Three Quarters Past Noon will resolve your predicament, turning you into a tool to be manipulated at will, stripping you of your unparalleled Peerless Sect Leader. Choosing this option will grant you the rare reward [Chaos Creator (Title)] and the epic reward [Tian's Protection (Defensive Divine Ability)].

Option Two: Escape the predicament single-handedly. How could Peerless Sect Leader compromise? He is determined to break through everything. Choosing this option will grant you a rare reward: [One Fragment of the Heaven-Slaying Sword] and an epic reward: [Demon God's Eye]

Inside the secret chamber behind the barrier.

Chen Ning's face lit up with joy upon hearing the system notification.

The only thing that surprised him among the rewards was the reappearance of the Heaven-Slaying Sword fragments, which hadn't appeared in a long time.

Previous missions.

They have already collected three fragments of the Heaven-Slaying Sword.

Only one piece remains to complete the puzzle.

So.

Chen Ning chose the second option almost without hesitation.

Chen Ning observed the two puppets, one black and one white.

In fact, he could have broken through the life-or-death barrier set up by Chu Xuanyuan just now.

But Chen Ning kept waiting.

After Chu Xuanyuan left.

It's not too late to crack it later.

If the mystery had been solved just now, even if he escaped, Chu Xuanyuan's cultivation level would still be unfathomable.

Chen Ning wasn't confident.

So we can only wait for him to leave before we can escape this place.

Perfect.

The mission has been triggered.

This was a pleasant surprise.

Right before my eyes.

They are two identical doors.

It's impossible to extract any clues from the two puppets.

You can only ask one question.

It's still unclear who is telling the truth and who is lying.

If you ask one of them which door is the door of life, you have no way of knowing whether he is telling the truth or not.

It is estimated that even some powerful individuals who were once trapped by Chu Xuanyuan were helpless in the face of this problem.

His will could only be gradually worn down by Chu Xuanyuan.

It seems very difficult.

But Chen Ning had seen many such logic problems in his previous life.

I first saw this recipe in a book Little Snowflake.

I still remember it vividly.

Whom to ask is not the key point.

The key is the content of the question.

Chen Ning casually asked the white-robed puppet in front of him, "If he were to point me to a way out, which one would he point to?"

The question is about the white-clad puppet.

The question, however, was: if the black-clad puppet pointed to a door, which door would it point to be the door of life?

Of these two, one only tells the truth, and the other only lies.

If the white-clad puppet is the one telling the truth, he knows the black-clad puppet will deliberately point to a dead end.

If the white-clad puppet is the one lying, he will deliberately point out a dead end.

In this way.

Regardless of which door he was referring to.

They are all dead ends.

The other door is the door to life!

Really.

The white-clad puppet pointed to the door on the left in just a moment.

Chen Ning ruled him out.

I strolled toward the door on the right.

The world behind the door.

That is the way to survive.

A flash of white light.

The barrier resolves automatically.

Chen Ning then returned to the fertile field where he had just tracked Chu Xuanyuan.
