It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

The Sphinx shuddered suddenly.

"How is that possible? I'm not a pervert, how could I pet a cat without permission?"

He raised four tentacles to prove his innocence.

"Humph, haven't you humans done enough perverted things?"

The Sphinx said with a sullen look, as if recalling a lot of not-so-good memories.

"You can't generalize. Okay, I'm going in."

Liu Zheng said.

"Wait a moment."

The Sphinx called out to him.

"what happened?"

"Don't try to trap me with such small favors. I can give you a chance. Whether you accept it or not, our deal will be settled."

it said.

"what chance?"

"I can give you a chance to answer a question. As long as you can answer my riddle, you will gain the ability to ask questions to others."

"The person you are questioning cannot attack you before answering your riddle. If they answer incorrectly, they will be cursed. In serious cases, they will die, or their strength will be greatly reduced. Of course, this rule applies to you as well."

The Sphinx said.

"Didn't you say this was Greek mythology and you were mixed up in Egypt?"

Liu Zhengxu asked with his eyes fixed.

"We just don't have the habit, but that doesn't mean we don't have the ability. Just tell me whether you want to answer the question or not?"

"What happens if I answer wrong?"

he asked.

"Since your dried fish is really delicious, I can only eat half of your 'meat'."

The Sphinx thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, I'll answer the question."

Liu Zheng thought for a while and said.

If he would die if he hit the wrong target, he would definitely not agree.

But if it's half the "meat", you can still give it a try.

After all, this ability sounds quite powerful, and if used well it can be used as a killer move.

"Okay, then I'm going to ask a question."

"Wait a moment."

Liu Zheng suddenly had an idea.

"what?"

"I'm going to invite a referee to preside over this quiz contest."

"what?"

Ignoring the Sphinx's confusion, he shouted loudly towards the sky.

"Captain Dragonfly, come and see me!"

"Captain Tomato is here to meet you!"

Accompanied by a loud and powerful voice, a red dragonfly fell from the sky and landed in front of Liu Zheng.

"So it's you, the human delivery man. You've started a new competition so quickly. You're worthy of being the champion I recognize."

Red Dragonfly praised.

"It was also a coincidence. By the way, are you interested in hosting a cooking competition between the Bloody Restaurant kitchen and others?"

Liu Zheng asked.

“Of course, this is a very rare opportunity.”

The red dragonfly's eyes lit up.

"Okay then. I'll summon you once I confirm the game time with them."

"Good. What an excellent young man."

The red dragonfly patted his shoulder.

"I said, can we start now?"

The Sphinx asked impatiently.

"Of course, the competition comes first."

The red dragonfly immediately got into the state.

"I already understand the situation. I will be the referee for this Metropolis' Strongest Riddler competition!"

"The rules of the game are that each player takes turns asking the other a riddle, and the player has three minutes to think about it. If the player exceeds the allotted time or gives an incorrect answer, the player loses."

"In order to be fair, neither party should ask questions that are beyond the knowledge of the other party."

"The stakes of the competition are one ability of the 'Riddle Curse' and half of the 'Meat'."

"Now I'll flip a coin to decide the order. If the dragonfly is facing upwards, the delivery man will ask the first question. If the microphone is facing upwards, the sphinx will ask the first question."

The red dragonfly took out a golden coin and threw it upwards. The coin fell to the ground and bounced several times before it stopped.

"The microphone is facing upwards, and the Sphinx will ask the first question."

"Then I declare that the game has officially begun!"

Red Dragonfly swung the referee's stick violently, and it immediately turned into a timer.

"You humans always like to complicate simple issues."

The Sphinx shook his head.

"So, my question is."

It looked at Liu Zheng and spoke slowly.

Chapter 186 Can you cure my ALS?

"Under what circumstances would it take for a black male long-distance runner to achieve a career-best time?"

asked the Sphinx.

"this problem."

Liu Zheng fell into deep thought.

In theory, the more important the competition, the more it can stimulate the athletes' potential and help them break their limits.

But there are also many people who perform better when they are relaxed. For example, it is not uncommon for them to perform better in the Asian Games than in the Olympics.

After all, people's physiques cannot be generalized.

So, the answer "when competing in the highest-level tournaments at the Met" is clearly wrong.

If we think about it from the perspective of relying on external forces, the answers would be things like taking stimulants or being chased by a jeep.

Considering that this is in the metropolis, it means that he is caught by the Border Management Bureau for illegal immigration, or he is hunted down by the Public Security Bureau for assassinating the Supreme Speaker.

But these answers are non-unique. Any one of them could be correct, and any one of them could fail.

"Twenty-two seconds left."

The red dragonfly suddenly gave a reminder.

Under normal circumstances, it will not remind the players of the time.

But Liu Zheng was too considerate, so it felt embarrassed not to help at all.

But Captain Dragonfly is always fair, just and open, so I can only remind you in this way that does not violate the rules.

30 seconds.

Liu Zheng frowned.

This amount of time is simply not enough to eliminate interference.

But what if all the answers are distractors?

After all, the answers to this kind of riddles are often not serious answers, but more like brain teasers.

If you think in this direction.

"Black male athletes"

Liu Zheng seemed to be thinking about something.

"10."

"9."

"8."

Red Dragonfly begins the countdown.

"When he knew his girlfriend was pregnant."

he blurted out.

"correct answer."

The red dragonfly slapped the timer, making a sound similar to the sound of a gong in celebration.

"So you're just wasting your time."

The sphinx curled its lips.

It was not originally going for Liu Zheng's "flesh", nor did it intend to play any shady tricks when asking questions.

"I am just a mean person who judges the big cat by my own standards."

Liu Zheng criticized himself.

He was not worried about the Sphinx cheating, as he was originally aiming to improve Red Dragonfly's favorability.

Besides, what if I could win another gold medal?

"How many times have I told you that I'm not a cat!"

The sphinx bared its teeth at him.

"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue."

"Now it's the delivery man's turn to ask questions."

The red dragonfly interrupted their conversation.

“My problem is the mountains”

Just as Liu Zheng was about to speak, an invisible force crushed his vocal cords.

"Please do not ask questions that are beyond the other party's knowledge."

Just as he was wondering, Red Dragonfly spoke.

"I see."

Liu Zheng suddenly realized.

The question he originally intended to ask was, if Shan Shang's action of assassinating Xiao Quan was described in the ancient style of Xiao Ri Zi, what would it be called?

There is a trap here. People who have some understanding of daily life culture might call it "a teppan foot soldier riding alone to attack the regent."

Because the Kanpaku is equivalent to the prime minister in ancient China, and is also equivalent to the prime minister in modern days.

But in fact, Kozen was a retired prime minister, so he could not be called Kanpaku, but should be called Taiko (retired Kanpaku).
