Chapter 13 13. Russell's One-Second Speed
Russell and Subway arrived in front of the Sphinx.
"Humans, as long as you can answer my 10 questions, I will hand over the Holy Grail to you!"
The Sphinx is more than ten meters long and five or six meters high. Its voice is like thunder, and the whole earth seems to be shaking because of it. vibrated by its words.
"Humans," Russell said.
"Oh, I know you are humans, there is no need to stress. Okay, please listen to the first question..."
The Sphinx lengthened his voice to increase the mystery, coughed twice more, and asked loudly Said:
"What creature in the world walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs at night?" After asking the question,
the Sphinx swept his eyes over Russell and Subway:
"You guys You have 5 minutes to answer this question. If you can't think of the answer, you can get a hint from me, but you only have one chance to give a hint!"
Russell looked at the Sphinx without saying a word.
Subway also looked at the Sphinx without saying a word.
There was silence.
The sphinx was stunned.
The next second, it suddenly remembered something:
"Oh, yes, you have already answered it just now. Yes, the correct answer is human beings. You successfully answered the first question correctly, congratulations!" Then, the Sphinx said with a
face He asked in confusion:
"Why did you answer before I asked the question?"
"I think it's probably because this question is so famous in Greek mythology." Russell looked innocent.
Since realizing that he was in a dream, Russell has successfully recalled all knowledge outside of the dream.
"I just said, they should update the question bank." The Sphinx complained.
"But I can guarantee that the next question is definitely new enough. You must have never heard it asked by other sphinxes. Please listen to the second question..." The
sphinx opened its two lion claws and chanted. Chanting strange incantations.
The next moment, in the vast wilderness, railroad tracks and a tram appeared out of thin air. You can vaguely see people tied up on the far side of the railway tracks. In front of Subway and Russell, a lever appeared out of thin air. "A madman tied five innocent people to the tram tracks. An out-of-control tram was heading towards them and was about to run over them in a moment.
"Luckily, you can pull a lever and let the tram go. On another track. The problem, however, is that the madman also tied up a man on another tram track.
"Considering the above situation, should you pull the lever?"
The Sphinx asked his second question in one breath.
"Why is the second question a tram problem? This style of painting is obviously different from the previous one, isn't it? Should trams appear in this era we live in? This last level completely ruined my sense of immersion!" Baiwei complained.
The tram is getting closer to the intersection!
"Make your choice quickly, humans, you don't have much time! Is the life of one person more important than the lives of five people? Do you want to choose to kill one person and save five people?" The
Sphinx The beast's voice is solemn and majestic, like the bells of a church that pronounce judgment on people's hearts.
In fact, both the teachers who watched the dream and the Sphinx as one of the examiners knew one thing -
there are no standard answers to questions 2 to 10 of the Sphinx!
These 9 questions are all trolley problems, which test whether the candidates are decisive enough and can avoid problems.
At the same time, through such questions, you can understand the candidate's personality and behavior style.
Therefore, no matter whether the lever is pulled or not, as long as you can give your own reasons, justify yourself, be decisive enough, and do not avoid problems, you are right.
It is for this reason that the test of the Sphinx is actually not difficult to pass, but there is no way to pass it quickly.
That's why Professor Black Amber believes that Team Shiro and Nanami, who have gained a progress advantage, will definitely be able to pass the level ahead of Team Subway and Russell and become the first place!
As we watched, the tram was about to reach the railroad intersection.
Russell's face remained unchanged and he loudly spoke his answer:
"My choice is to summon the dragon to come down from the sky."
Subway also shouted at the top of his voice: "Please, help us, Mr. Dragon!"
Huh! !
A huge shadow fell over the tram.
Thanks for the tip of Xueyu Xinfeng!
