Chapter 112: Save This Weirdo for Master to Evaluate
Cui Hao's question caused the two to pause.
It seemed a problem outside the program had occurred, causing the two to crash somewhat.
Subsequently, the two silently climbed up and walked back to their original positions. After arguing again according to the previous script, they performed another smooth sliding kneel.
This time, they shouted in unison, "Great Lord of the Blue Sky, make a decision!"
Cui Hao: "..."
However, this was tentatively within expectations. After all, for an illusion provided for so many people to test, it is normal not to be able to cover every aspect.
If they really took him to find Xiao Cui, Cui Hao would truly suspect this was a real village.
Then according to the settings, must he judge as an official?
Cui Hao gazed at the two.
Solely based on law, it was naturally Wang Dagou. In terms of legal process, aside from the coercion needing thorough investigation, he did not commit any major error.
At the very least, he had paid money.
Solely based on emotion, it was naturally Wang Ergou, as he, Cui Hao, also liked for lovers to get married.
However, matters naturally could not be viewed this way.
First, judging by how they reset after being asked an additional question, this illusion had settings.
Since there were settings, the choices were few: judge for Wang Dagou, judge for Wang Ergou, or judge for neither.
Even breaking the bottom line further, judge them all together.
Among three thousand people, there ought to be some weirdos, right?
With such little room for choice, surprisingly not a single person passed.
If it was not a problem with the question, then it was a problem with the person who set the question.
However, regardless of which had the problem, thinking according to the original logic would naturally not work; he had to find a different path!
Since it was an illusion, an unconventional approach might not be impossible!
Cui Hao pondered slightly, then sized up the two kneeling on the ground for a while, a smile forming at the corners of his mouth.
"Matters of affection are hard to judge! Wang Ergou, how do you know Xiao Cui will not develop feelings for Wang Dagou over time?"
Wang Ergou revealed grief and indignation upon hearing this, but his tone was firm.
"Xiao Cui would not! We promised each other..."
Cui Hao opened his mouth to interrupt. "Since you promised, why did she nod and agree to marry Wang Dagou instead of waiting for you?"
Wang Ergou was instantly struck dumb, his face iron-blue, unable to speak.
Seeing that he had temporarily dealt with one, Cui Hao looked at Wang Dagou, who looked joyous and was smiling.
He asked with a puzzled look, "I do not know what you are laughing about. The wife you like does not like you but likes someone else, and you are also happy?"
Wang Dagou's smile froze instantly...
Seeing that both their expressions were not very good, Cui Hao's expression improved. He sighed with emotion.
"Think about it carefully. Even if I make a judgment, will you get what you want?"
"Will you really be satisfied? In this matter, both of you seem to have a point, but similarly, neither of you stands on the truth."
"If you ask me, neither of you can completely give Xiao Cui happiness."
Wang Dagou and Wang Ergou looked at each other, then looked at Cui Hao together.
They saw Cui Hao reach out to pat their shoulders, speaking with deep sincerity.
"Actually, think about it. Life does not necessarily have to be lived with Cui'er..."
Cui Hao took Wang Ergou's hand and gently placed it onto Wang Dagou's hand.
As their hands joined, both Wang Dagou and Wang Ergou revealed extremely ugly expressions.
It was as if they had eaten a large pile of dung.
Following Cui Hao's choice, even though both faces showed pain, they still held each other's hands and took their leave.
Seeing such a scene, Cui Hao nodded in understanding. As expected!
He watched Wang Dagou and Wang Ergou leave hand in hand.
Cui Hao sized up the village with full confidence. Just as he was preparing to accept the next test for promotion, the sound of a dispute came over again.
He looked in the direction of the sound and saw two middle-aged women walking over, pushing and cursing at each other.
Cui Hao instantly understood the situation. It turned out that what he had just passed was only the first small test of this trial.
Since he had entered the second small test, the logic for the first test must have been correct.
Otherwise, he should have been pulled directly out of the illusion. With so many people in line, why would they let him continue?
Inferring from this, his outrageous method just now must have been the correct solution.
Having clarified his thoughts, Cui Hao revealed a confident smile and took the initiative to go forward to meet them.
He smiled confidently and said, "You two, tell me what the matter is! I will uphold justice for you both!"
More than an hour later.
Two burly men left together, their faces resentful as they held each other by the shoulders.
After Cui Hao sent away the tenth case, the scene before him began to slowly twist and change.
Was it finally over?
He slowly breathed a sigh of relief. If it continued, even he would not be able to take it anymore. After all, finding a different path was not an easy task.
Everything before him turned into flowing light and dissipated, and reality returned to his vision bit by bit.
Cui Hao looked up. The deep pool water entered his eyes again, and the towering main hall was still in that spot.
He observed slightly and saw that many people around were still standing in place with their eyes closed tightly, still immersed in the illusion.
Not only was his performance perfect, but he was also extremely efficient!
"What is your name?"
A voice came from behind Cui Hao. He hurriedly turned to look and saw it was the young girl who guided the illusions.
Cui Hao hurriedly cupped his hands. "Number three hundred seventy-four, Cui Hao."
Li Yingling looked him up and down, then praised him with heartfelt sincerity.
"You are truly a talent."
Hearing this, Cui Hao could not help but feel delight in his heart. Was his perfect performance being affirmed by the immortal sect?
However, this delight was truly just a fleeting delight.
Li Yingling looked at the talent before her and sighed in admiration. "Ten questions. How did you manage not to get a single one right even by guessing?"
"I even specially looked at you a couple of times at the end. How is your brain grown? To be able to go this askew?"
Cui Hao froze on the spot upon hearing this.
Could it be that those matters just now were really all single-choice questions?!
If they were all single-choice questions, how could so many people be eliminated?!
Cui Hao revealed a somewhat bitter smile. "...So I am eliminated?!"
Li Yingling's gaze swept over this person twice more. Someone who got everything wrong like this was either truly evil or truly stupid.
She ultimately felt that was not right and looked at this person again.
This Cui Hao was not evil, nor was he stupid.
To use Master's words, this person was here to create a scene!
Such a talent was truly rare. After thinking slightly, Li Yingling tossed a badge of special material to him.
"No, a talent like you must stay for my Master to view. Come back here in ten days to participate in the re-examination."
After speaking, Li Yingling turned and left.
This person was too much of a "rare specimen." Since Master was not at the sect right now, she would keep him for the next round to let Master take a look at such a "rare specimen."
Cui Hao took the badge and hurriedly asked:
"Wait... do you not test for spirit roots or anything? It goes straight to re-examination? What if I have no spirit root?"
"Those without spirit roots cannot enter the illusion and would have gone down the mountain on the spot."
Li Yingling did not turn her head. Her junior sister told her she had found an interesting, genuine talent.
She had to hurry over to take a look.
As for this weirdo, saving him for Master to evaluate would suffice.
