===========
Plop. Plop.
As soon as he finished speaking, the doors of the houses in the town opened, and guys dressed in white robes appeared on the street.
In the center of this group of people was an old woman with white hair, short stature, wrinkles all over her face and few teeth.
"So, this is a two-choice quiz?"
Lan nodded: "Don't be so slow about it. I know the rules. Just ask your questions."
The Quizzing Lady, who was holding a cane with the Hunter Association's logo, glanced at Lan with her cloudy eyes when she heard this.
She raised her hand to stop her companions behind her, who were about to make a melody sound to interfere with the other party's mentality.
She took a deep breath and said: "Answer in a heartbeat!!"
Quizzing Lady yelled loudly: "Even if you know the rules, I still need to explain them in detail!"
"Next, I will ask a question. You only have five seconds to consider the answer. If you answer incorrectly, you will fail."
"Then you have to give up being a hunter!!"
She slowly explained the requirements: "You can only answer the specified answers. All other answers are wrong."
Then a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "You seem to be very familiar with my question and were very confident."
"I know a little bit."
Lan glanced at the blind box glowing white beside her and put it away casually.
The number of ordinary blinds increased by one!
"Then let's get started quickly."
The Quizzing Lady gripped the cane in her hand tighter: "If your mother and father both fell into the water, and you could only save one,"
She said in a deep voice: "1, mother, 2, father, which one will you save..."
"1."
Lan answered without hesitation.
The Quizzing Lady immediately raised her eyebrows: "Why did you choose this answer?"
"Because I prefer the number 1."
Lan smiled. "Both answers are wrong anyway, so I might as well pick a number I like."
The Quizzing Lady, who was originally a little disappointed, raised her head again after hearing this.
She took a serious look at Lan, who had a smile on his face and then turned to discuss with her companions in white robes behind her.
After a while, the people in white robes instantly dispersed and stood on both sides of the street, leaving a wide road in the middle.
"Go ahead."
The Quizzing Lady stood aside.
Lan glanced at the street ahead and then walked straight toward the big iron gate next to him.
"Um?!"
The Quizzing Lady's cloudy eyes widened slightly.
"Is this the right path?"
Squeak.
Lan pushed open the big iron gate with one hand, revealing the dark street inside.
Looking at the small bright spot at the end: "It is estimated that it will take about two hours to reach the exit from here."
Lan turned around and looked at the silent Quizzing Lady: "Can I go through here?"
The Quizzing Lady was silent for a moment before she slowly spoke: "I just said you could come over."
"So, it doesn't mean I can't pass through here?"
Lan nodded: "I see."
Squeak.
He turned around and closed the big iron door again.
"Since you asked me to pass through here..."
Under the stunned gazes of the crowd, Lan smiled and said: "Then I'll just go through the front."
Having said that, Lan walked directly in front of the cleared street.
"Wait a moment!"
The Quizzing Lady couldn't help but ask: "Since you know there is the right way here, why..."
"Let's leave the right path for next time."
Lan said without turning his head.
"Anyway, I came here just to experience the contents of the Hunter exam."
"I never thought I could pass this time."
"Besides, isn't the lush green scenery outside more refreshing than the pitch-black environment inside?"
Is that so?!
The Quizzing Lady stared at Lan's back. This was the first time she had seen such a strange candidate in her career as an examiner.
"By the way, grandma."
Lan's steps suddenly stopped.
"Although there is no correct answer to such a question, I also know that your intention is to let people know what to do when the necessary choice arises at any time."
He turned around and said with a smile: "Try to anticipate all the cruel possibilities. Misfortune will always come suddenly."
"Then we should make certain preparations for what will happen in the future..."
Lan gave his own opinion: "Then make yourself stronger, strong enough to protect the people you care about."
"Becoming stronger..."
The Quizzing Lady murmured in a low voice.
"That's right."
Lan finally waved his hand at her: "And I really don't like such questions."
"It's you, Grandma, who came up with the question. If it was someone else..."
"I may not be able to solve the problem, but I can solve the person who raised the problem."
Solve the person who raised the problem?
Looking at Lan's departing back, a smile gradually appeared on the Quizzing Lady's face.
"He's really an interesting guy."
"I came to do this job because I wanted to meet someone like him."
She didn't care whether Lan could hear her or not and gave a hint at the top of her voice:
"In the hut under the big lone tree in front, there lives a couple of tour guides. If you have the qualifications, they will lead you to the exam site."
