Chapter 121 The Liar's Paradox, "The Hickar Tablet"

Despite being called a real door or a fake door, Jiang Feng only saw one door in front of him.

Perhaps this door of truth and falsehood is just an abstract concept; if you choose the true door and it opens, the paradise you want to go to lies behind it, while the opposite leads to hell.

That's how Jiang Feng understood it.

"Real door, fake door..." He rubbed his chin, his expression gradually becoming strange.

He knows this thing too well.

In my previous life, it was used to death in all sorts of brain teasers, logic puzzles, and game puzzles.

Just then, the statue on the left spoke first, its voice deep and muffled, as if coming from within the stone: "Come, ask me a question, and I will answer you."

The statue on the right then spoke up: "Come ask him a question, and he will deceive you."

Jiang Feng:

666 also has a part that disrupts your thoughts.

He did not ask a question immediately.

Although this kind of puzzle is not difficult for modern people, this is not an ordinary escape room, but a mirage-like ruin projected across time and space.

Does anyone know if there are any variations of the rules?

What if those two stones are telling the truth but actually hiding some kind of trap? Wouldn't it be a joke if I went up on them?

Thinking of this, Jiang Feng first took half a step back and activated the Heart Lock to ward off evil.

A pale gray mental barrier quietly emerged around his mind.

Subsequently, the True Fire of Hell also flowed slowly through the meridians, ready to ignite the blood at any time.

After confirming that there were no abnormal fluctuations, he looked at the statue on the left.

"I'm asking you."

Jiang Feng pointed to the statue on the right, then to the door in front of him.

"If you were in the person's shoes, who would be the right person to open this door through?"

The statue on the left remained silent for a moment.

The stone face, which only had a mouth, slowly opened: "Pass through me."

Jiang Feng immediately smiled.

This is a classic liar paradox.

If the statue on the left is the truth statue, then it will truthfully relay the answer of the false statue, and the false statue will give a false answer.

If the statue on the left is the "lie statue," then it will lie and describe the answer of the "truth statue," resulting in a false answer.

In other words, no matter who you ask "what would the other person say?", the answer will always be the opposite.

The statue on the left says "This side of me," so the real answer is "The other side."

"Understood."

Jiang Feng walked to the statue on the right and pointed at it.

"I need you to open the door."

The statues on both sides of the stone gate fell silent in the next instant.

A moment later, the corners of the statue on the right seemed to turn up slightly.

"The true and false of those who came have been identified."

The statue on the left slowly bows its head.

"The true path is open for you."

Rumble—

The heavy stone door began to open inward, and dust that had accumulated for countless years fell from the cracks in the door.

Jiang Feng stood there, but he didn't feel much excitement about breaking through the barrier.

This puzzle is unusually simple.

Rather than testing the wisdom of martial artists, it is more about screening a certain way of thinking that "can transcend appearances".

"It seems the owner of this mirage doesn't really like brutes."

Looking at the two statues that looked so familiar, and thinking about the question itself, Jiang Feng suddenly became curious about who the owner of this place was, and whether he was a time traveler like himself.

Also, if you deliberately choose a "fake door", what will appear behind that door?

He shook his head, stopped thinking about it, gripped the Darkin Scythe tightly, and stepped through the door.

Behind the stone gate was a small stone chamber.

Unlike the high-tech style outside, this stone chamber is extremely simple.

The walls were pitch black, as if they could swallow up the light.

In the center of the stone chamber, a platform about half a person's height still stands.

The surface of the platform emitted a faint blue light.

The blue light wasn't dazzling; instead, it resembled fireflies floating in the deep sea—quiet, mysterious, and carrying an indescribable sense of dreamlike wonder.

In the very center of the platform, a stone slab the size of a palm floats.

The stone slab is rectangular with rounded edges and a surface covered with fine star patterns. It doesn't resemble a cultivation technique card or a martial arts manual; in fact, it does feel a bit like a Switch.

Directly above it was a huge screen of light and shadow, with beams of light radiating outward from the center of the stone slab onto the screen. Jiang Feng squinted and carefully examined it; it was the same star map he had seen on the second floor earlier.

Therefore, the main body of the "star map" is the board that is suspended on the platform below.

Jiang Feng did not immediately reach out to take it.

He first walked around the platform.

No rune traps were found.

He then gently touched the edge of the stone slab with the Darkin Scythe.

There was no backlash.

Then, a wisp of Fiery Prison Fire was separated and brought closer to the stone slab.

The star pattern on the stone slab only lit up slightly, without resisting.

"call..

'

Only then did he dare to reach out and carefully remove it.

It feels cool to the touch.

The next moment, the star patterns on the stone slab seemed to be awakened, lighting up one by one. Blue light flowed rapidly along the patterns, then converged and fell back into the stone slab.

"Holy crap..."

...?

Upon seeing this scene, something subconsciously popped into Jiang Feng's mind.

He picked up the stone slab and looked at it.

wilderness.

Mountains.

Desert.

Mist.

A broken riverbed.

There were also several extremely blurry black shadows, as if deliberately obscured by some force.

The entire map is not flat, but rather appears as a holographic projection on the surface, with mountains rising, ravines sinking, and even the direction of wind and sand flow marked with faint light.

The image in Jiang Feng's mind gradually took shape.

"The Slate of Shika?"

"Isn't this the Sheikah Slate from Zelda?"

The more he looked at it, the more it seemed similar, in terms of feel, shape, and function...

"Damn, could the owner of this mirage really be a time traveler?"

'

Just as he was in shock, another red dot on the map began to flash.

Jiang Feng squinted and reached out to try touching the red dot.

Several lines of strange symbols immediately appeared on the star chart, which then automatically converted into text that he could understand.

【Shayan Tribe】

Status: Active

Danger Level: ☆☆

"What?! An information panel?" Jiang Feng exclaimed in surprise again. "There's a danger level?"

He continued to zoom in, zoom out, and rotate the star map.

However, only the area centered around the two red dots is visible; the rest is obscured by fog.

As for how to extend the visible area in the star map, Jiang Feng judged from his game experience that he would probably have to wait until he reached a key point.

Take your time.

He continued to rotate the star chart.

Soon, he discovered another key point within the visible area.

Further away from them, a massive city silhouette appeared at the edge of the star map.

Although the rest of the city was still shrouded in mist, this did not prevent Jiang Feng from reaching out and touching it to obtain the information he wanted.
