Chapter 372: Chapter 170 All Deadly Questions_3

Gu Qingqiu’s answers were without hesitation, and it was apparent to everyone that she was speaking her true feelings, or rather, that she had contemplated similar questions before.

For instance, becoming a cat, a bird, or even a bamboo in the next life...

What everyone did not know was that Gu Qingqiu had spent several years bedridden as a child, immobile, and had thought about many things during that time.

When the three couples heard Gu Qingqiu’s answer, they all gave the same response:

Take a chance!

"..."

Black Cat looked at Gu Qingqiu in silence.

Gu Qingqiu met Black Cat’s gaze without much panic, while Xia Hongyao was quite worried about her.

"Little Linzi, help her out. I have taken a liking to her and want her to be our teammate!"

Xia Hongyao believed that Lin Baici’s intelligence was high enough to quickly find the correct answers to these questions.

"The second question, between a cat and your partner, who would you choose to spend your remaining days with?"

Black Cat continued to ask, causing everyone to perk up; it meant the beautiful madwoman had answered correctly.

Yes,

In everyone’s eyes, Gu Qingqiu was not crazy if not unconventional in her thinking.

"I choose the cat because lots of people are too boring. Rather than marrying such a person, spending the rest of my life with a cat isn’t a bad idea!"

In Gu Qingqiu’s heart, a companion could be a cat, a dog, or even a pillow.

Gu Qingqiu answered with ease, but for those three couples, it was a question they were doomed to fail; and judging from the previous questions, failing to answer immediately meant punishment as well.

"I choose the cat!"

The woman from the first couple spoke.

Upon hearing her words, the man’s expression changed instantly; he glared at his girlfriend and said, "I choose the cat."

"Choose the cat!"

The man from the second couple most eagerly responded.

His girlfriend immediately burst into tears, showing a face full of grievance, and followed with a subdued ’choose the cat.’

The third couple, in tacit agreement, looked at each other and then simultaneously uttered, "Cat."

"I’m happy to hear that you all like cats. Unfortunately, for the two who answered slowly, I’m sorry, but you must accept your punishment,"

Black Cat declared the outcome.

"Why?"

The man from the first couple shouted.

"Wuwuwu!"

The girl from the second couple sobbed and questioned her boyfriend, "You said before that you loved me for a lifetime, was that a lie?"

Despite their dissatisfaction, it was useless for those two; they turned to stone, leaving only the third couple alive.

"The third question: If we argued and I ran away from home, would you actively come looking for me?"

"This one is easy, the answer should be yes, right?"

After saying this, the man in the hoodie saw the sales guy and the somewhat cute girl next to God Lin looking at him with a ’the child cannot be taught’ expression in their eyes.

Was he wrong?

The man in the hoodie was baffled.

"How could I argue with you? It’s all my fault, a thousand faults, ten thousand faults, you’re absolutely blameless!"

The man’s answer came too quickly, clearly, he had personal experience with the matter.

"Yes, it’s all my fault!"

The girl nodded. She was all too skilled at answering such life-threatening questions because that was how she managed her boyfriend.

"The more fierce the argument, the deeper the love. If they’re just ordinary people, I wouldn’t even be interested in talking to them!"

Gu Qingqiu shrugged her shoulders.

This time, there were two different answers.

"Qingqiu!"

Xia Hongyao was worried.

[What Black Cat needs is concern. As long as the answer conveys this, you can pass the test!]

"The fourth question, how many cats are there around you?"

Upon hearing this question, the couple was instantly filled with despair.

"It seems we still haven’t made it through!"

The boy sighed.

"It doesn’t matter. Dying together with you is also quite good!"

As the girl spoke, she hugged her boyfriend. "But I still think we should take a guess. How about the number 23?"

"Fantastic!"

The boy couldn’t help but laugh through his tears. At this point, are you really still testing me?

The number 23 was the girl’s birthday.

Gu Qingqiu looked around. She had already counted the number of Cat Statues surrounding her and was ready to say this number when Lin Baici suddenly spoke up.

"Cough cough!"

Lin Baici started coughing violently, covering his mouth and nose with his hand, his face filled with discomfort.

The entire place fell silent. Lin Baici’s sudden cough startled everyone, causing them to look at him.

"Huh?"

Song Huizhi noticed that Lin Baici’s left hand now held a Western-style oil lamp.

Is that a Taboo thing?

Otherwise, why would he carry that thing?

It couldn’t possibly be for illumination, could it?

"Gu Qingqiu, you must notice it!"

Lin Baici did not look up or make eye contact with Gu Qingqiu for fear that the Black Cat might notice.

If it were deemed cheating, there was a chance that both of them could be turned into Cat Statues.

Lin Baici took a big risk to help Gu Qingqiu, partly due to Xia Hongyao’s plea and partly to test his answer, to see if his count of Black Cats was correct.

Of course, the impression this girl left on Lin Baici that day in the library was also good.

If possible, help her out!

Gu Qingqiu was very clever. In the instant Lin Baici coughed, she knew that this boy must have discovered something crucial and wanted to hint at her.

Otherwise, given his cautiousness, he wouldn’t have made such a loud noise even if he coughed.

His action was clearly aimed at drawing her attention.

Gu Qingqiu immediately noticed Lin Baici’s right hand covering his mouth and nose, as using hands would definitely be the fastest way to convey numerical information.

"5? 3?"

Gu Qingqiu saw Lin Baici first cover his mouth with his entire palm and then bend his pinkie and ring finger, clearly representing two numbers, 5 and 3.

Then, she saw Lin Baici clench his hand and then quickly repeat these two gestures.

"53!"

Gu Qingqiu answered, her voice crystal clear.

The couple, who were initially prepared to report their birthday number, chose to follow suit after seeing Gu Qingqiu’s decisive response.

"53!"

The two of them spoke in unison.

They were not particularly clever people, but their IQs were definitely not low. Since this girl knew that God Lin, it was very likely that she had received some hints from God Lin.

"..."

In silence, Black Cat surveyed Gu Qingqiu with its gemstone eyes, and after a few seconds, turned to look at Lin Baici.

Has something happened that I am not aware of?

Everyone held their breath, waiting for Black Cat to announce the results.
