Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Trial of Armor (I)

For the rest of the morning, Zhou Yuan was almost always in a state of being woken up by Kirito - continuing to enter the temple - and then being woken up by Kirito.

As a result, after such a long time of training, Zhou Yuan did improve his performance by one minute - so far, Zhou Yuan's best time is 28 minutes and 21 seconds. And among them, Zhou Yuan found several rules related to the Remnant Armor Jia Temple.

That is, the five senses are not completely closed in the temple. In some periods, Zhou Yuan's five senses can still play an extremely weak role...... As for how weak this part is, for example, it is not much different from the sound of a mosquito flying fifty meters away and no sound......

However, if you can capture these five senses, you can increase the space used by some of your abilities and dodge some of your attacks. In addition, the first attack will be avoided by taking about a step to the left - this will add a few seconds to the amount of time you can hold out.

Probably if all these goals can be achieved, Zhou Yuan will almost be able to pass the trial of the Remnant Armor. But......

Zhou Yuan was now holding a mirror handed over by Kirito, carefully observing his face.

The scarlet skin of the Ghost Hand had now covered Zhou Yuan's right eye. If you look in the mirror, you can see that the red color is still fading at a rate visible to the naked eye, but ...... There is no doubt that compared to the first time when the red color retreated almost instantaneously, the current speed of Zhou Yuan's ghost hand's red retreat has become slower and slower.

If it goes on like this...... Zhou Yuan felt that he might not have many chances to enter the Remnant Armor Jia Temple again. It's just that fortunately, after a morning, Zhou Yuan slept for a few hours, at least now Zhou Yuan's spirit has been reinvigorated.

By now, although the red on Zhou Yuan's body has completely faded to the arm of his right hand, the pupil of his right eye still presents a strange dark red, not a normal black pupil.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

"It's noon, and a few of you can eat."

The person who came over with the dining cart was the little girl with glasses that Zhou Yuan had seen last night, who came to his room to verify the situation.

"Ah...... Okay, thanks. By the way, I would like to ask, which room did Scar go to? Scar and I know each other, so we're fellow countrymen...... Because Madame spent money to buy a new bodyguard, it turns out that I and Scar are not in the same room today. ”

Zhou Yuan asked while taking his food from the little girl pushing the dining cart.

"Scar......? Wait a minute, I'll check for you......"

The little girl took out her mobile phone, and after rummaging through it for a while, she replied to Zhou Yuandao: "Scar...... The lady lives in room 131 in this area. If you want to find her, be careful not to go to room 131 in other areas. ”

"Okay, thank you."

Zhou Yuanmu sent the little girl out of the room.

"That little girl's map is the same as ours, that is, the third floor is fully lit," Zhou Yuan said, "Now the third floor can also be lit...... It didn't matter much, it looked like the information was being hidden somewhere the little girl wasn't allowed to see it yet. ”

Although the little girl's map only flashed in front of Zhou Yuan's eyes, based on Zhou Yuan's deliberate questioning and high concentration, she still got a small part of the information.

So far, all the rooms on the first, second, and fourth floors have been explored, and only the third floor remains. Because the auction hall is in the shape of an inverted cone, the room gets smaller the further up it goes—by the time you reach the fourth floor, there is only a small part of the space left. I didn't see the third layer, but it turned out to be pretty much the same. Coupled with the map that Zhou Yuan secretly saw by asking questions, it was enough to show that there was basically no information he was looking for in the third layer.

So where else might there be information going on......

It is impossible to surround it, but it can be seen clearly from above; Above, a little further up is the metal floor of the city, which is obviously not too likely. As for the underground......

There is no way to get underground on the map, and this is true when it has been verified, and not even a portal to a deeper place has been found. Even if the information is hidden underground, Zhou Yuan estimates that there is no chance to find it.

Zhou Yuan simply sat cross-legged on the sofa and began to think about where there might be a hidden room.

At this time, Zhou Yuan inadvertently saw the corner of the roof of the room. The floor here doesn't fit very well, and a slight gap is exposed, allowing Zhou Yuan to see through the gap to see the upper layer.

Originally, under normal circumstances, Zhou Yuan would not have noticed such a subtle difference. However, the training carried out in the temple of Kaijia caused Zhou Yuan to be sensitive to his five senses to the limit, and coupled with the red right eye derived from the ghost hand, Zhou Yuan still discovered this gap.

It was just such a glance that made Zhou Yuan understand the problem in an instant.

Multiplying the distance from the top of the room to the bottom by four, there is an error of about six meters compared to the total height of the building on the map—these parts are the thickness of the floor on the map, but if you think about it now...... Six meters is equivalent to two meters of thickness on each floor.

Isn't it a little too thick? In fact, it is also true. According to Zhou Yuan's visual inspection, that gap was only about one meter thick. In this case, the three compartments will be three meters thick in total – in this way, the thickness of about three meters will be cleverly staggered. Three meters in height is enough to form a mezzanine of a normal room - the floor of the auction hall is aligned with the ground on this side, so where do these three meters appear......

Zhou Yuan raised his head.

The distance between the ground and the fourth floor is staggered by three meters in this way. So that is to say...... Does this building have a fifth floor?

A smile appeared on Zhou Yuan's face. The seven-day auction has only been two days away, and it looks like he's found the crux of the matter. The next thing to do is just to test your ideas in tomorrow night's action.
