”Of course… since this is a special question with double the points on the line, naturally, it is slightly more difficult than normal questions Please listen carefully…” Mr Yoo raised the question card and read
”Green Lantern… I believe everyone know that reference” He took a glance at the ca is 'will'”
Then he lifted his head to look at Feng Bujue and continued ”In their universe, the green lantern ring represents will, then… what do the other colors of the lantern rings represent? Please name at least four of them Your countdown starts now!”
This type of question was not going to defeat Feng Bujue Even if it was not for gathering inspiration for his writing material, out of pure interest, he had read quite a nuh his memory before he came up with the answer He opened his lips to say, ”Hee lantern, avarice; yellow lantern, fear; green lantern, will; indigo lantern, compassion; blue lantern, hope; violet lantern, love; and finally, there is the black lantern, which represents death”
The audience was silent Mr Yoo looked at the ansritten on his card, and he too was quiet for several seconds And then he uttered in a quick and affirmative tone, ”You are one hundred percent correct!”
Once again, the sound of thunderous applause erupted a the studio audience
”Participant No 1 sure is a knowledgeable person After three questions, he has already gathered forty points while three of the other participants have got their points reverted back to zero after two rounds Participant No 1 is basically in an unlosable position,” Mr Yoo explained Then he turned to look at the three special guests ”I wonder if our three special guests have any co our participant No 1's perforuests' seat Miss Pride surprised everyone by speaking for the first time that day She only said a feords
”Don't talk to eek”
Then she turned her head aith a cold scoff
Mr Pestilence collapsed deeper into his seat His arm that was as thin as a stick held his chin The skin on his body was so fair that one could see the blood capillaries pulsing underneath the skin Seated in this pose, itof which… why is there not a color that represents Pestilence?”
The cameraman, a translucent spirit, turned the cae as before ”Tsk… They are nothing but lanterns and rings that can gather wandering energy As long as you have enough cyclops, it is easy to ht, we thank our special guests for their brilliant comments” Before the man finished his sentence, Mr Yoo quickly pulled the focus back He turned to Xiao Tan and said, ”Participant No 2, please listen carefully This is question number 10”
He burned the question card for the previous question and looked at the next card ”Please spell out phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency accurately in English Your countdown starts now”
Just as the ticking sound of the timer started to echo across the studio, Mr Yoo turned to interact with the studio audience and the viewers at holish,and hard to memorize terms…”
”Phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency, also known as PKU,” Xiao Tan replied For the sake of clarification, he repeated the word again, going through each letter clearly Mr Yoo was stunned for several seconds He used his hand that held the e of his nose His beady eyes widened into saucers as he studied the correct spelling that was printed on the color ”Hmm… Your answer is correct!”
Xiao Tan's total points rose to ten, and following his correct answer came the applause of the audience
”Looks like this question has fallen right into Participant No 2's professional field, or he has a really colish?” Mr Yoo commented in the manner of a question
”Actually, this is quite simple…”
Before Xiao Tan could finish, Mr Yoo raised his voice to cover that of Xiao Tan and continued ”And now… Moving on…”
Mr Yoo once again turned to Passing Rain ”Participant No 3, now only you and Participant No 4 are tied at zero points, so this question will be very i Rain answered detachedly Based on her attitude, it sounded like she was saying, It's no big deal
”Please listen carefully to your question…” Mr Yoo read froan ”Please tell me, what does this chemical formula that appears on screen represent? Your countdown starts now!”
As he said so, on the s Rain's control panel and on the large screen in the e, a che Rain thought about it for a while before giving her answer ”Glucose”

”Looks like all of our participants are very impressive I wonder, e move onto the next round, or whill this part of the quiz end at this next question?” Mr Yoo turned to the direction of Laughing Soul
”Hey! Are you hinting at the fact that this questionSoul narrowed her eyes as she stared at the fat host ”Even if my total drops to minus ten, I still have the chance to redeeht?”
”Haha… the reason I said so like that is because…” Mr Yoo raised the next question card in his hand ”This twelfth question is another special question”
Surprised gasps came from the audience
”Please listen to your question carefully!” Mr Yoo read from the question card ”Please name three players on the title of Mr European Footballer of the Year in the twentieth century I don't need their full names, but the nationalities of the three players cannot be repeated Your countdown starts now!”
Laughing Soul pouted once more, and she looked like she was tricked
”This is a question about sports It is probably very easy for our iven to either Participant No 1 or No 2, it would basically be a free win question, and the twenty points would be given away for free Unfortunately, it is the female participant who has drawn this question,” Mr Yoo said ”You have thirty seconds left”
”Franz Beckenbauer and Michel Platini” Laughing Soul surprised everyone by giving two answers
”And… you're right,” Mr Yoo co… These two naave were not only spectacular footballers—they es of their career”
”Ronaldo!” The na Soul, and she uttered it without giving it ht
”Participant No 4, if you don't … why do you think a Brazilian would have would have taken home the title of European Footballer of the Year?” Mr Yoo asked with a s Soul asked with genuine surprise
”Erive his name as the answer?” Mr Yoo asked
”Because in my ht… perhaps one of thehing Soul replied with a laugh

”Alright, ladies and gentlemen, and those who refuse to identify as either,” Mr Yoo said in an excited tone, ”ill end the first section of Death Quiz soon There are still four questions re, but let's first take a look at our four participants' scores”
”Participant No 1 is well ahead with forty points Participant No 2 has ten points, and he still looks so nervous The cool and collected Participant No 3 also has ten points With i her special question, currently Participant No 4 has twenty points” As Mr Yoo mentioned each player's name, the camera panned toward them one after another
”Now… if there are no upsets, the participants ill enter the coliseu participant No 2, 3, or 4” Mr Yoo started to work up the hype in the studio ”Now, please hold your breath and get ready because we are entering the last round, the last four questions!”
He turned to Feng Bujue and lifted the cards
”This question…” He paused for effect ”… is not a special question”
”You , it will not affect the scores?” Feng Bujue asked back
”Indeed, but I have to remind you, the participant who is placed first after every round will be rewarded with a very aer extended out,Bujue said in an interested tone ”In any case… ask your question”
”Please listen to your question carefully!” Mr Yoo said ”The question is… 'And the will therein lieth, which dieth not Who knoweth the reat will pervading all things by nature of its intentness Man doth not yield hih the weakness of his feeble will' Where does this particular excerpt come from? Your countdown starts now!”
”Humph… No wonder this is the last round, the question itself is filled with trap…” Feng Bujue huffed coldly From how he acted, it seemed like he already knew the answer ”This is an excerpt adopted froeia It uses this to reflect the overall central e of the short story”
”So, your answer is Joseph…” Mr Yoo heard the answer in Feng Bujue's explanation
