Survivorship Bias

    It is seven fifty-five in the morning.

    The time limit for cracking this game is 72 hours, and there are 64 hours left, which means that they currently spend nearly eight hours.

    It is estimated that their initialization time is around zero.

    An Wujiu lowered his eyes and glanced at the white watch on his wrist.

    The above date is still stopped at 3:21:40 in the morning without any change.

    What does this stop time mean?

    It's strange, the more you go up, the more you crack, the more foggy this shelter becomes, and the more doubtful it becomes.

      The moment he passed the junction, which was the gate of the circus, the rainbow herbicide behind him had already started spraying.

    The fine mist fell, and the bright and colorful colors of the corridor became blurred, like an oil painting immersed in water.

    Yang Erci put Zhong Yirou down, but Zhong Yirou still didn't have much strength, so she helped Zhong Yirou to sit on the ground and sat down herself, so that she could lean on herself.

    Josh approached the circus gate and found a laser square on it that was the same as the square mark on the back of his hand, but when he put the back of his hand on it, a prompt sounded.

    [Hello D03, the invitation has been received, please use the key to open the door. ]

    "You can't open it just with this." Josh took his hand down, "I'm afraid the rainbow key can only be found in the corridor of Rainbow Baby."

    An Wujiu stared at the herbicide mist that filled the entire corridor, and the pungent gas poured into the nasal cavity.

    “What is the word printed on the rainbow jar just now?” An Wujiu turned around and looked at Shen Ti.

    Shen Ti was probably tired, leaned against the wall lazily, and glanced up, as if recalling, "I think about it. Those jars appeared three times in total..."

    “It appeared three times so quickly.” An Wujiu’s eyes followed him, “The frequency of spraying has become faster.”

    "Yeah." Wu You nodded, "every time faster."

    "Every time only the orange-striped jar and the purple-striped jar have words printed on them, and the words change." Shen Ti leaned against the wall and spoke to everyone, but his eyes only looked at An Wu blame, "After I came over, I waited for a period of safety, and then the orange-striped jar appeared with red printed on it, and the purple-striped jar with orange printed on it."

    "Wait until the jar turns into an aircraft, spray it, and the spraying becomes a safe period, and then the jar appears again. This time, the jar printed with orange stripes is still red, but the word on the purple stripe becomes Yellow."

    At first glance, it seems that there are really not many rules.

    Shen Ti continued: "In the next round, the words printed on the orange-striped jar and the purple-striped jar are all purple." After speaking, he spread his hands, "Then you guys come, It's still spraying."

    After listening, An Wujiu fell into deep thought.

    Zhong Yirou, who was sitting on the ground, coughed twice, raised her head and said to Shen Ti, "You didn't lie."

    "Is my credit value in your heart so low?" Shen Ti's tone was smiling.

    "That is," Wu You, who was also present, not only did not speak for Shen Ti, but sneered, "You are the guy who cheated money from the dying man."

    This description suddenly exaggerates the plot.

    Nan Shan looked at Shen Ti's face, "Mr. Shen Ti doesn't look like such a cunning person."

    "Have a vision." Shen Ti cast a sympathetic look at Nan Shan, and explained, "Yang Ming took the initiative to approach me for a deal, I just raised a little bit about his agreement. Just a change of opinion."

    After he finished speaking, he looked at An Wujiu, "I won't lie to you."

    Yang Erci had some doubts, "Your memory is too good."

    "Really?" Shen Ti squeezed out a smile, "No way, who makes me great."

    “He probably didn’t lie, otherwise Wu You would have exposed it long ago.” An Wujiu took the initiative to stand on Shen Ti’s side, even though he knew that Shen Ti was a very cunning person, but this time It was he who asked Shen Ti to help him keep an eye on him, and he took the initiative to pull Wu You to avoid the lack of trust caused by exclusive information.

    What's more, there is no need to play information difference, this game is not a competition between players.

    Of course, it is undeniable that An Wu Jiao also brought a little intuition.

    I always felt that Shen Ti would not lie to him.

    "What he said is true." Wu You shrugged, "I don't remember everything, but it should be these."

    During the conversation, the herbicide spraying of the Rainbow Baby Corridor ended again.

    "Wait a minute and a new jar may appear."

    An Wujiu walked over there.

    Indeed, the interval is even shorter this time. According to the countdown reminder within their field of vision, it is almost only half a minute. Those rainbow jars reappeared, many and many, in their direction Get over here.

    An Wujiu picked up an orange one, this time, there were no words printed on it.

    It is a question mark.

    He turned his head and saw that Shen Ti was holding a purple striped one in his hand, and the two tacitly showed it to each other.

    Sure enough, the purple-striped jar was just a question mark.

    "Why are all question marks?" Josh found many on the ground, as long as they were orange stripes and purple stripes, they were all question marks, and the jars of other colors were the same as before. Nothing at all.

    Shen Ti raised his wrist and threw up the purple jar in his hand.

    Toss, drop, catch.

    Seeing the question mark, Wu You basically understood, "Let's guess the two words in this round."

    Toss and drop-

    No catch.

    The falling jar just disappeared in front of Shen Ti's eyes.

    The other jars disappeared in an instant.

    There is only one left, as if being manipulated by something invisible, slowly rolling towards the rainbow corridor in the opposite direction.

    So An Wujiu followed the jar, everyone else was behind him, only Shen Ti chose to step forward and be side by side with him.

    The retrograde jar eventually stopped in front of a door.

    This door has never been seen before, like an extra door in the wall between the doors of two rooms. Unlike those lovely colored doors before, this one is black.

    A small monitor was embedded in the door, playing a very old-looking black and white video. In the video, a man in military uniform introduces the content of the action. It is old, and there is a lot of noise in the audio. Words such as "low-altitude and slow flight" and "clearing obstacles" can be vaguely heard.

    Behind him are the huge, striped and character-printed tin cans, neatly piled up into a continuous high wall. Many people in military uniforms transported them one by one to the plane, and the people in the back kept urging the people in front to "move fast!" and "don't get the order wrong."

    Through the glass, you can see the smiling faces of the pilots in the cockpit.

    It seems that even the pilots on the mission do not know what is in the jar, let alone what will happen to their future self and what will happen to the people on this land.

    The video stopped abruptly, and there was not much spraying. When it was all over, something new appeared on the display.

     is some text.

    [Action Code—Rainbow Rancher Action:

    # No. machine sprays [orange], # No. machine sprays [purple].

     Machine C sprays [green], machine C sprays [orange].

    The l machine sprays [red], and the h machine sprays [orange].

    No.o machine sprays [red], and No.i machine sprays [yellow].

    No. n machine sprays [purple], and No. l machine sprays [purple].

    The e machine sprays [? ], machine d sprays [? ]? ]

    The last two red question marks flashed brightly on the screen.

    After reading all the above, Yang Erci said softly, "It's true."

    Staring at the display screen, An Wujiu calmly stated the truth, "When it first appeared, orange was printed on the orange can, and purple was purple. Before the second spray, the orange striped can The printed label becomes 'red', the purple label becomes 'orange', and the latter situation is what Shen Ti said, there is no deviation."

    In the battle plan this shows, the order of the colors is exactly the same as the words printed on the jars that appear in the cloister, which means that what Shen Ti said is exactly the same.

    The first color of each line corresponds to the label on each orange striped jar, and the second corresponds to the label on the purple striped jar, except that English has become Chinese.

    "So now we're going to fill in the blanks, right?" Josh carefully observed the colors listed, "It seems... at first glance, there is no pattern, one moment orange, then red again , and sometimes the color doesn't change."

    Seeing the color, Wu You suddenly raised a possibility, "The law of color matching?"

    Josh thought for a while, "You mean that each row of colors is the same color? But orange and purple must be different from two purples."

    Suddenly, they heard a thud. An Wu Jiu turned his head, Nan Shan who was standing behind them fell down without warning, his eyes were tightly closed and he had no intuition.

    “Southern fir?”

    As soon as I squatted down, the ground where Nanshan was located burst apart!

    A huge crack appeared in the complete corridor where they were located, like the cracked earth after a natural disaster.

    "Bring him here!" Shen Ti's expression became serious for a moment.

    Wu You, who was stunned, woke up at the moment, and reached out to grab it. Suddenly, the fire hit, Wu You did not catch it, and neither did Shen Ti, who was one step behind.

    The floor under Nanshan collapsed completely with a loud noise, and finally fell.

    Under the collapsed ground is not the first layer, but hot red magma, surging upward like a raging fire.

    In the raging fire, An Wujiu, who was kneeling on the ground, braved the fire and grabbed Nanshan's arm, preventing him from falling into the lava abyss. Shen Ti didn't think of it, but he grabbed the arm that had been emptied again immediately.

    The flames burned their sleeves.

    Josh also knelt down, and the three of them pulled Nanshan up little by little, who didn't know her life was hanging by a thread.

    Wu You extinguished the fire on their arms, and without hesitation, plunged the needle of the syringe into Nanshan's arm. The situation was so urgent that he forgot to ask how this should be tied and which part of his arm should be tied.

    The effect of the medicine is not so fast, but the surrounding floor is sinking little by little, and the safe area is getting smaller and smaller.

    In just over ten seconds, this place has changed from a childlike paradise to a fiery hell. Except for the floor they are currently standing on, and the area at the gate of the circus, other The floors fell everywhere, leaving only a fiery abyss that could not be seen directly.

    There was also a continuous alarm sound from the floor. After the alarm, it became a familiar sound.

    An Wu Jiu frowned, it was his own voice.

    [You're going to be late. ]

    [There are still three minutes, as you said before, whoever is a pigeon will be burned all the pigeon hair. ]

    [Come on, I'm already in the circus. ]

    "It's A02!" Josh panicked, his face turned red by the fire of the magma in the abyss, "Are we running out of time? If it times out, it will fall and burn to death. ?!"

    "Don't panic." An Wu Jiu was still terribly calm as always, "Everyone stand tight and hold each other's arms, Josh, grab the doorknob so that everyone has a little support."

    Yang Erci added: "Look at your feet, and step back immediately if there is a collapse."

    After giving instructions, An Wu Jiu took a deep breath, thinking about the color of the herbicide just now.

    They put the semi-conscious Zhong Yirou and Nan Shan, who has not woken up yet, in the innermost place, An Wu Jiu is standing on the edge, he can't see the display screen at the moment, Fortunately, he had already memorized the order of the colors inside.

    "Will it still be shifted?" He said to himself, "Move the colors in the order of the rainbow, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, purple..."

    "No." The person who interrupted him was Shen Ti, "At least not exactly this pattern. I just tried it. According to the order of the colors of the rainbow, orange becomes green after moving twice. The purple moves twice and then turns orange, and it looks like a regular pattern."

    "But by the third row, the green has to move four times to become red, and the orange doesn't change, or moves seven times. From here, it's not a regular pattern of two separate moves ."

    He was right.

    An Wujiu also pushed down, the red in the third row will turn into red in the fourth row, either not moving, or moving seven times, the orange that can go with it only moves once turned yellow.

    Looking down vertically, not only there are no rules by row, but also the same number of moves within the row.

    Not true.

    An Wujiu wanted to take another look at the display screen, but his left foot was empty and he lost his balance in an instant.

    He heard Josh's voice, "No fault!"

    At the moment when An Wujiu couldn't control his back and fall, an arm wrapped around his waist, tightly hugging An Wujiu, who was at the front line of life and death.

    He slammed into Shen Ti's arms like this. At the most critical moment, the firelight and his bewildered face reflected in Shen Ti's emerald-like pupils.

    "You hug me and put your foot on my foot." Because of this seamless hug, Shen Ti's voice was right in An Wujiao's ear, he could even feel it Shen Ti's lower jaw, which moved as he spoke, rubbed against his forehead.

    "Quick."

    An Wujiu did so. His heart was beating so fast that he had a violent reaction similar to pain.

    [It's almost time. ]

    A02's voice reappears.

    [You can't find the key, can you? One key for one lock, make no mistake. I'll wait your last two minutes. ]

    Key, lock.

    The key to the password…

    An Wujiu suddenly thought of something, he tried hard to look at the display screen through the gap, his eyes moved from the color to the beginning of each line.

    Shen Ti immediately felt that An Wu Jiao had a new idea in his mind, not because he knew how to read minds, but because An Wu Jiao's hands suddenly grabbed onto Shen Ti's back His clothes, and the muscles in his lower back were actions he made subconsciously.

    "The number...the number of those planes is the key to the color code! The number of each movement is irregular because one key corresponds to one lock!"

    The excitement made An Wujiu turn his head subconsciously, wanting to tell Shen Ti, but this action made his lips accidentally brush Shen Ti's neck.

    A burst of numbness floated on the lips.

    Shen Ti understood his meaning through An Wujiu's few words almost immediately, "So that's the case, at the very beginning, the # of the #number is actually the initial color, and the next line becomes Machine C, C stands for the number in the alphabetical order, 3?"

    "No, it's 2, I pushed it and subtracted 1 from the conversion of each letter to a number. C is the third place in the alphabet, but changed from orange to green , according to the rainbow order is the result after moving twice, the letter l should correspond to 12, but according to the result of the movement, it has only moved 11 times, and the others are the same, all minus 1."

    "That's it, so green doesn't turn red after 4 moves, but 11 times."

    "That's right."

    The outermost circle of the floor they were standing on collapsed and fell again, and the space was getting smaller and smaller!

    There is no time to verify them one by one, An Wujiu directly matches the color of the penultimate round and the aircraft number of the last round.

    Purple, e;Purple, d.

    "The purple moves 4 times and the other purple moves 3 times..."

    An Wujiu shouted at Wu You who was close to the screen.

    "Wu You! Fill in green and yellow!"
