The Rebirth Of SOPHIA GREEN - Chapter 244

After the round, the red team’s score had taken an absolute advantage. The quick response was not necessary.

Charles sat in his seat with his head down. He knew the result but couldn’t reconcile himself. Sophia used to be a silly girl he played around with, but then…

Could his betrayal have changed her? If he had known this, he would not have betrayed her but stayed with her. Then he would have been famous and rich.

But at present, his reputation had been ruined, and he had been called scum by netizens. He didn’t even dare to let people comment on his messages. As for the prize, it was just a delusion to him. He couldn’t also enter the second round. What was the point of his appearance on the show?

Especially there was a lunatic Nina he couldn’t get rid of. Now he was afraid to see her…

He felt that his future was bleak.

The quick responses started. The rule was simple. The one who pressed the buzzer first would get the qualification to answer the question. The right answer meant scoring one point, and the wrong answer meant losing one point.

Clarence said, “The first question. Two father and son went to buy hats, but why did they buy three?”

Sophia thought about it. It seemed to be a brain teaser. Before she could press the buzzer, the blue team had pressed it, and Charles got the question.

“Because they are three generations, grandfather, father and son, just two father and son,” Charles was proud.

“Correct. One point!” Clarence said.

He continued to read the question. “What’s the surname of Napoleon’s mother?”

Sophia stayed. She knew a lot but didn’t know such partial knowledge. Who knew the name of Napoleon’s mother?

The buzzer sounded, and again Charles got the question.

He was quite proud, “Ho.”

Clarence said, “The answer is… wrong! The right answer is Zhang. It’s a not well-known historical question, very difficult. So, it’s okay if you get it wrong. Well, the blue team will lose one point.”

He wanted to swear. Wasn’t it a brain teaser? How was it a historical question? Was he tricked? If he had known it was a serious question, he would not have answered it. How could he know it?

Charles didn’t dare to answer the next two questions. While he was thinking, Sophia rang the buzzer and answered the question, giving him no chance at all.

“Correct! Now, it’s the last question of the whole game. Please listen,” Clarence said.

The score gap between the two teams was so big that Charles couldn’t catch up even if he got the last question right. Charles was holding out for now, not trying to get the score back, just trying to save some face.

Clarence said, “There was a door that wasn’t broken, but why couldn’t it be pulled open anyway?”

Seeing the question, Charles was stunned. Was it a brain teaser or a physics question? If he got it wrong, he would be embarrassed again.

Sophia paused, not pressing the buzzer. The scene of the fire half a year ago appeared in her mind. The door she knew so well couldn’t be pulled open at all.

Why… why couldn’t it be pulled open? She still couldn’t figure it out.

Suddenly, the buzzer rang. It was one of Sophia’s teammates who got the question. She looked surprised, “This question is so simple, why didn’t anyone answer it? It can’t be pulled open… because you need to push it. Isn’t it easy?”

“Correct! One point for the red team!” Clarence said, “So, that’s all for the first round. Congratulations, red team! All members of the red team go straight to the second round of the finale!”

“Excuse me, I…” The girl who just answered the question said, “I quit.”

As soon as she finished, the other four contestants on the stage also said, “I quit.”

Molly, who was watching under the stage, stepped on stage and said to Clarence, “I also quit. That’s right. I have to admit that I don’t dare to challenge Sophia. But I don’t think it’s a shame, right?”

Clarence didn’t know what to say. Could the game go on? He wanted to cry.

Clarence didn’t know if he should be glad that the game was over like this, without a worse second round.

As for the broadcast of the show, he didn’t care and could only leave it to the editor. Anyway, he tried his best. As a member of the program, he wouldn’t suffer alone.

Sophia, who had been sitting on the stage in a daze, received a trophy with a mechanical “thank you.”

She had been thinking about the door of the lab.

In the fire, the door trapped her like a cage. She had been wondering why she couldn’t pull it off, but the firemen who came to the fire later said that it could be opened, and there was no hindrance.

It was a common two-way door lock. If it wasn’t locked from the inside, the door could be opened from both the inside and outside. If it was locked, the door could only be opened from the inside.

If she was right, there must be some mechanism in the lock. Someone must have tampered with the lock. To achieve the effect, the mechanism must be specially made.

Once the mechanism was started, the door would be locked. It could only be pushed open from the outside but not be opened from the inside. To leave no evidence, after the mechanism started once some parts of the mechanism would be changed and the lock would be back to normal, no trace would be found.

Although the mechanism was complicated, it could be made. But to make such a mechanism, it must cost a lot of time and energy. Obviously, the murderer was well-planned to kill her.

She remembered very well that the lock was broken a few days before the accident. She wasn’t good at the mechanical stuff, so she asked Professor Thompson for help. Later, Professor Thompson said the lock had been used for too long and changed a new one.

He was the only one who could do something on the lock because he was an authority on physics and had a deep study of the mechanics. It was not easy for him to make such a complex thing, but it was possible.

But Sophia couldn’t believe it. Professor Thompson was the dean of the physics department, a good-tempered, good-natured man.. She had nothing against him. Why did he bother to hurt her?
