Breaking Through

"Simple?"

Everyone instinctively asked themselves that question. After thinking for a moment, their thoughts gradually became clear.

All right, this time they understood what Lin An meant.

Li Shouyi, who went last, could see the order of all the skulls. That meant that as long as Li Shouyi announced whether the total number of human skulls everyone was wearing was even or odd, they could quickly determine their own situations.

Suppose Li Shouyi announced that the number was even (humans), but the total number of human skulls they saw was odd. That would mean they were human!

Because they could not see themselves, but once they counted themselves, the odd number would become even!

For example, suppose they were in the third-to-last position. Lin An, in the second-to-last position, saw seven white skulls, while Li Shouyi, in the last position, saw eight white skulls.

That meant Lin An was also white.

And if the person in the third-to-last position looked forward and saw five, that also meant they themselves were white!

With the explanation over, Lin An turned around, leaving behind a group of Trial Takers who grew more excited the more they thought about it.

Compared with the first round, they had less time to think this round, but it was clearly much simpler.

Looking at Lin An's back, Li Shouyi felt completely different from the others. His entire body stiffened, as if he had fallen into an icy cavern.

He was not shocked by the approach Lin An had provided this time.

Rather, he had thought of something else.

I will die, and I am the only one who might die.

Following this method, aside from him—No. 19—having a fifty percent chance of dying,

everyone else would win this round of the trial perfectly, with no one dying.
