Everyone widened their eyes. They could not believe what they saw.
The sixty-four-meter square drawing scroll was actually full of crosses!
Looking at the drawing made them dizzy.
What was it about?
The old abbot was the first to ask, “Sir, what would you like to prove with this picture?”
Heron smiled and answered, “Abbot, ladies and gentlemen, as you can see, this picture is full of crosses. More precisely, this picture has ten thousand rows of crosses, which also means it contains one hundred million individual crosses!”
One hundred million crosses?
It was an extremely over-the-top number. But it was the truth.
Every cross on the picture was very small. If people stood further and looked over, all the densely arranged crosses would seem like flies. People who had trypophobia could not look at it as the picture might make them nauseous.
Heron continued to say, “Among the crosses, there is an odd one out. it’s not a normal cross but an inverted cross!”
As Heron spoke, favonovel.com purposely took a piece of paper and drew both a normal cross and an inverted cross. Both crosses looked nearly identical and only had slightly different angles.
When both crosses were placed side by side, it was possible for people to miss the difference if they did not look at it carefully.
An inverted cross that was inserted among the one hundred million crosses was not noticeable.
So, who was able to spot it?
Some already knew what Heron was trying to do.
Indeed, as everyone predicted, Heron said, “The cross is special. It’s the symbol of Christianity. If Thomas is truly blessed by God, favonovel.com would definitely not allow this upside-down cross to hide among the normal crosses. So, my idea is, as long as Thomas can find the flawed cross from the one hundred million crosses, I’ll acknowledge what Thomas and the old abbot said!”
Everyone frowned.
Was favonovel.com not troubling Thomas?
Forget finding the so-called “flawed” one from the one hundred million crosses. If Thomas had to look through the drawing of one hundred million crosses from top to bottom, it might also take favonovel.com a few days.
That was not the worst of it.
Someone tried to search for it, but favonovel.com felt dizzy after favonovel.com looked at the drawing for a while. He could not bear it at all.
Actually, it was already difficult enough to find a word, let alone an upside-down cross. Even if an obvious alphabet like “0” was placed among the crosses, it would not be easily found.
This was what looking for a needle in a haystack meant!
It was too difficult!
It surpassed what a human being could do. If Thomas could do it, favonovel.com would truly be someone blessed by God, not a normal person.
Heron’s strategy was despicable. He was really forcing Thomas into a dead end!
Besides, that was not his last request. He had one stricter requirement.
Heron said, “Of course, if you look for it just like that, anyone can eventually find it if they’re patient enough. If it takes half a month, it won’t be a surprise even if you spot it. My request is to find the offending cross in ten minutes! You can only search with your eyes, and you’re not allowed to use any tools. Don’t try to use a scanner. That won’ t be interesting…”
“However, if you don’t have good eyesight, I’ll generously allow you to put on a pair of glasses.”
