Chapter 832 Born in early summer

"Temi flower..." Earth Snake thought for a moment, turned to Qi Xia and said, "Qi Xia, it seems you have no research on plants."

"Yes, although I have learned a lot of knowledge, I still can't cover everything." Qi Xia replied, "Do you know this kind of flower?"

"The tea flower is also called the tea flower. It is extremely pure white, but it only blooms in one season." Earth Snake said, "Do you know which season it is?"

"have no idea."

The Earth Snake sighed and said, "It doesn't fit the term "spring blooms" because it blooms in "early summer" and "midsummer", and when "summer" disappears, this flower will also wither."

Qi Xia frowned slightly after hearing this: "This flower will appear and disappear with "Xia"...?"

"Yes." Earth Snake nodded, then walked to the corner and flipped through the book.

Half a minute later, he took out an illustrated book of advanced plants from among the many old books. The book didn't seem to be well preserved and seemed to fall apart if it was shaken lightly.

He carefully opened the pages of the book, then turned to a picture with white flowers, turned around and handed it to Qi Xia.

The front and back pages of this book have basically fallen off, only this yellowed picture is still hanging precariously on it.

"Timihua..." Qi Xia muttered slightly, then took the book and read it.

This flower looks like a member of the rose family. Each flower is white and flawless, with yellow stamens.

Qi Xia stared at the flowers for a while and asked softly: "After the tea flowers bloom, isn't it already autumn?"

"That's right." Earth Snake said, "The blooming of tea flowers often means the end of the flowering period. After this flower blooms, there will be no other flowers. This flower represents "the end" and also represents "the end"."

Qi Xia nodded after hearing this: "Thanks to you, I have learned new knowledge."

"But you should have discovered..." Earth Snake said, "No plant can survive in this entire city. The streets are full of withered dead trees and dried flowers. There is no rain and no normal sunshine here, let alone Why did you suddenly mention the tea flower when you saw the living plants?"

"Maybe it's because the plants here are all dry and dead." Qi Xia sighed and said, "This white flower can attract my attention more."

After hearing this, Di She nodded and said, "Qi Xia, the flower language of 'Te Mihua' is 'the beauty of the end'."

When the word "West" entered Qi Xia's ears, a long-standing memory gradually emerged in his mind.

At that time, Yan Zhichun whispered to Qi Xia: "Just use tea flowers."

"Yan Zhichun..."The beauty of the end"..." Qi Xia slowly narrowed his eyes, "When everything disappears, will there be anything beautiful?"

"I can't say for sure." Earth Snake said, "You probably have to ask yourself the answer."

Qi Xia paused, then nodded to the snake, turned around and walked outside the house.

The remaining people in the room looked at each other in confusion. Qiao Jiajin and Qin Dingdong followed Qi Xia out of the door, leaving Chen Junnan alone.

"Old snake." Chen Junnan shouted.

"how?"

"What's your game?" Chen Junnan asked.

"My game? Have you ever thought about trying?"

"That's not true," Chen Junnan said, "It's just that your venue doesn't seem to have any dangerous equipment. The only thing that can be used for games is books."

"Books are indeed used to play the game." Earth Snake said, "But I also have many other props here."

The Earth Snake walked to the wall and patted it gently. A hidden grid appeared on the wall, followed by a fishy smell.

The secret compartment is like a large wardrobe, with a dazzling array of murder props hanging inside. They are stained with blood and rust, and the smell is very unpleasant.

"My game is called "Reader". No matter how many "participants" there are, I will give them books and let them read aloud. Then I and other "participants" will take turns asking each person questions in the book. As long as If you answer correctly, you will pass. Of course, it doesn’t matter if you answer wrong, but there will be no reward.”

"Is this difficult?" Chen Junnan asked doubtfully, "How do you die in this game? How do you use your killing props?"

"The difficulty of this game has nothing to do with reading." Di She said, "There is a death condition throughout the game, that is, before I say "game over", I cannot show any expression during the whole process. As long as the expression changes, it will Killed by me."

"Expression...?" Chen Junnan still felt a little confused, "How can anyone still be laughing and joking about participating in such a deadly game where you can die at any time?"

Earth Snake pulled out a "Jokes" that was about to fall apart from the corner, turned around and handed it to Chen Junnan.

Chen Junnan took the book and found that it was almost covered in pulp. It seemed that it had been read by countless people since it appeared here.

"If you read this book, will you remain expressionless throughout the whole process?" Earth Snake asked.

Chen Junnan opened the book and looked at it. They were basically short jokes of one to two hundred words. Unfortunately, they were all cliche jokes. Apart from the cold jokes, there were only some very embarrassing old jokes.

"Why, do people here have such a low sense of humor?" Chen Junnan asked, "I might cry after reading this kind of bad joke for a long time."

Chen Junnan closed the book, turned to the back, and found that the book was published as far back as 2001.

"You brat, this book has the highest success rate in killing people." Earth Snake smiled and said, "Think about it carefully, if ordinary people feel bored when reading a book, they can stop reading it, but in this kind of life-threatening situation, Under the circumstances, even if I know that this book is extremely boring, I will still read it through.”

"That's the truth." Chen Junnan nodded, "Then how does he show his expression? When he is under so much pressure, shouldn't he become less expressionless the more he reads?"

"The blame is that people in this world are too cautious." Earth Snake said, "This book is called "The Complete Collection of Jokes". Although people who are reading this book will find that this book is not interesting, they are also afraid that The next joke will be so funny that it will cause you to lose the game and lose your life due to negligence. If it were you...how would you prevent this from happening?"

Chen Junnan took on the role and knew that if he was reading jokes under this kind of survival pressure and made sure not to show his expression, the solution he would choose would be to "think of something sad" to neutralize his emotions.

Earth Snake knew that Chen Junnan already had the answer in his mind, so he walked to him, slowly stretched out his hand, and said: "At this moment, I will gently tap the other person's shoulder and tell him, "Don't be nervous. "."

"It's really yours..." Chen Junnan sighed helplessly and handed the book in his hand back to the snake.
