The author's diary of ghost stories

"Welcome to the world of ghost stories."

Such a sound sounded in the pure white world, and then this flat world began to become real.

Countless simple lines formed a picture like an original animation painting, and then blocks of different colors emerged. With hundreds of millions of details added, a complete world appeared in front of Yu Liang.

"This is..." He looked at the spacious hall in front of him, then looked at his standing posture, and was a little dazed for a moment.

I was still lying under the bed just now, but when I came back to my senses, I was already standing here, so it was not that I was stunned and thrown here, but more like a flash, appearing here instantly from home.

Strange world?

Yu Liang recalled the reminder sound that still echoed in his ears, and couldn't help but become silently vigilant.

Both the name and the way it appears have supernatural connotations in it. Naturally, he will not think that this is some stupid reality show like the common supporting characters.

cell phone……

The mobile phone is also missing.

He touched his body and discovered this fact, and then glanced at the entire hall. The layout here was a little shabby, but very neat. The decoration style also tended to be low-key and warm-toned, but there was no one there.

There are closed walls on three sides, with no way out. Directly in front of Yu Liang is the ticket gate, with four gates blocking the way. His eyes pass through the ticket gate and fall a little further away, where is the exit of the hall. , showing a little hazy light.

Yu Liang walked towards the ticket gate. When he was only three or five steps away from the turnstile, the red light on the turnstile turned green, and the railings were raised, revealing the rear passage.

After a brief hesitation, Yu Liang went straight through the turnstile, and a voice came from the turnstile: "Hey, identity verification, I wish you a wonderful life at Changhong Zoo."

"A wonderful life..." He repeated in a low voice, and he couldn't help but feel scared. These words were paired with a completely flat electronic sound, and it was like a bone-chilling hand brushing across the surface of his skin, arousing goosebumps.

"Changhong Zoo welcomes you."

At the same time as he entered a vast expanse of white, Yu Liang heard another notification sound. He looked around and found that he was already outdoors.

The layout of the zoo is still relaxed and warm. Cartoon signs can be seen everywhere to guide visitors. There are dense trees on both sides of the road, and roads and paths are crisscrossed. Yu Liang also saw a small lake and a large area of ​​neatly trimmed lawn not far away.

Just looking at the scenes in the park, he was still happy to visit.

However, the zoo was very empty, but there were no traces of people or animals. The silence was a bit depressing. There was even a buzzing sound in Yu Liang's ears. This only occurred when it was extremely quiet, but in the past He only feels this way when he wears earplugs.

Can it be so quiet outdoors?

Is this still a zoo?

Yu Liang looked at the signboard and the semi-open-air buildings not far away, thoughtfully.

"Grassland Animal Area." He read out the words on the sign. He couldn't see any animals there, but the unique fishy smell of large animals was already in the air.

"Sir, do you need my help?" Suddenly, a man asked politely from the side.

Yu Liang turned his head when he heard the sound, and what appeared in front of him was an employee wearing a light green uniform. He had a standard official fake smile on his face, his skin was white and rosy, and the corners of his mouth were raised high, revealing two round and protruding lips. Apple-shaped muscles, a pair of big and focused eyes, this face reminded Yu Liang of an enlarged version of Billy the doll.

"Sir, this must be your first time coming to our Changhong Zoo, right? Do you want me to be your tour guide?" the doll employee asked politely, keeping a one-meter distance from Yu Liang.

Tourist guide?

Yu Liang muttered this word silently. He did not refuse clearly, but asked directly, "Can you give me a map of the zoo? It would be better if you could introduce the situation here, thank you."

Emotionally speaking, he was actually very resistant to walking with such a strange-looking employee, but if he understood the current situation as some kind of real-person game, then the guy who appeared as soon as he entered the zoo and called himself a "tour guide"...

Probably here to guide newcomers?

"As for the map, there will be one at the entrance of each exhibition area." Doll staff paused for a moment, "As for the situation here, as you can see, we are the largest zoo in the city, with unique man-made landscapes, rich animal resources, colorful famous for its themed activities.”

"Theme event?" Yu Liang repeated, doubting in his heart, is his admission to the park related to the theme event?

The doll employee kept smiling, and he naturally brought up the following topic: "Yes, for example, we now have a night show event. The employees select lucky visitors. As long as you can answer a question about animals, you will get a night show ticket. "

"Just ask."

Yu Liang also felt that this event was very unexpected, but this did not prevent him from participating. If you think of this zoo as a large escape room game, the night exhibition is obviously an additional space for exploration. It is his choice whether to go or not, but if you miss the ticket, you may not have it.

"Okay." The doll employee walked towards the grassland animal exhibition area not far away, "There is a monkey and several crocodiles on a small island. Now assume that these crocodiles think in the same way and want to eat the monkey, but the crocodiles If you eat a monkey, you will turn into a monkey, so what will happen on this island?"

"Huh?" Yu Liang was stunned for a moment. He originally thought it would be an animal knowledge question, but he didn't expect it to be a logic question. His brain started to work instinctively and he began to think about this question.

First of all, this kind of logic question will definitely not be too close to reality. There should not be a situation where a crocodile eats a monkey and then turns into a monkey together. Otherwise, this question will have no meaning.

Obviously, the key to this problem is that crocodiles have the same way of thinking. They are equally rational and greedy, so there will probably be three situations.

Crocodiles are irrational, so the crocodiles will eat monkeys and then turn into monkeys, until the last crocodile turns into a monkey, and there will be no crocodile left.

Secondly, crocodiles only have certain rationality, so they will stop when there are only two crocodiles left. At this time, whoever eats the monkey first will become a monkey and be eaten, which means that there will be two crocodiles and one crocodile left. monkey.

The last situation is that crocodiles are absolutely rational. Based on the second situation, no matter how many crocodiles there are originally, once the number reaches an even number, they will restrain their desire to eat monkeys.

This is the answer obtained from the perspective of mathematical logic, and Yu Liang started from game theory, and the answer was still the same, so he returned his attention to the doll employee in front of him and quickly replied: "There will always be a monkey, and the crocodile's The number will be even. Zero, two, or more."

"Congratulations, you got the answer right." The employee's lips raised high, and he handed over the ticket with a smile, "Sir, this is your reward."

"Thank you." Yu Liang took the ticket. The paper was very rough, with a rose red background and small bumps all over it. The text and patterns were in black and white, and there were some lying or standing animals on it, but the quality of the mimeograph was not good. Therefore, the animal's face is all black.

[Changhong Zoo Night Exhibition is open to you from 20:00 to 6:00 the next day every day]

Lasts until six o'clock the next day? This time period is not like an exhibition attended by people from the earthly world.

Yu Liang pondered subconsciously, and moved his eyes to the side. He found that he had arrived inside the grassland animal exhibition area. Next to him was a science popularization sign with a cartoon pattern of a python and a Yuanyou text introduction.

"The rock python is a greedy, non-venomous snake with a thick and long body, up to about 7 meters long. They have a big mouth and can swallow many animals alive, even adults."

greedy?

At the same time, the doll employee also stopped. He turned to face Yu Liang, keeping a distance of one meter as usual, and then asked another question: "You are right, there are indeed only two crocodiles left. So now What if one of the crocodiles insists on eating the monkey?"

Yu Liang's train of thought was interrupted by this question, but the question was not difficult, so he answered without thinking, "Hide in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to secretly eat the monkey."

This is not difficult to understand. As long as the other crocodile does not know that it has eaten a monkey and changed into a monkey, it will naturally not dare to attack the monkey easily.

etc!

Yu Liang seemed to realize something. He suddenly raised his head and looked around. The shadow of the building covered his head, drowning him and the doll employees. This place was still unfamiliar, but it was obviously more remote than before. That doll's face He still maintained a high-pitched smile, and the shadow of the apple of his lips fell on the corners of his mouth, looking very strange.

"You?!" He pushed forward a few steps and stared at the doll-faced employee in surprise.

Just now, he was paying attention to the dolls out of the corner of his eye, wary of any unusual movements, but after all, he was thinking about the problems of the doll employees, and was unaware of the murderous intention hidden in the remote environment.

"Congratulations, you got the answer right." The employee smiled, and he tore off his doll's face, as cleanly as shedding skin.

This action was like flipping a switch. His jaws and muzzle deformed together, gradually getting longer and wider, with the joints protruding outwards. The upward-facing nostrils were located in the front of the long protruding mouth. His head was no different from that of a crocodile. .

The big mouth moved slightly, and the sharp teeth flashed. The employee still maintained his human form, but his figure suddenly grew taller, more than two meters tall, with bulging muscles, making him much stronger than ordinary people.

This transformation process naturally does not have a time-stop effect, so at this time, Yu Liang had already turned around and ran towards the spacious road, paying no attention to the changing employees behind him.

His eyes swayed rapidly, gathering everything in front of him into his eyes.

Crocodile, where is another crocodile? !

Another crocodile must be found, now...

Only the second crocodile can save his monkey!

In the presence of both crocodiles, neither of them dared to speak first!

At the same time, a blue translucent panel appeared in Yu Liang's field of vision.

[The branch story has been triggered: The monkey who cannot be alone]

[Note: Make sure there is always someone by your side, otherwise... bad things will happen. 】

Let me just say one thing, the questions in the article are relatively typical mathematical logic questions, copied exactly as they are, so there is no need to worry about what is wrong, it is meaningless, and most people's logical thinking is not as good as the question maker. Bar?

There is no need to refer to real-life crocodiles for mathematical logic problems. After all, there are no real crocodiles that eat monkeys and become monkeys, right?

Anyone with a discerning eye will definitely see that this is a metaphor for the relationship between crocodile employees and tourists.
