Chapter 67: Answers
Wu Qianqian gave me a piece of jade, saying that it was taken from the tower, and I wondered in my heart whether this was true or false.
If it was really taken down from the tower, why did you send it to me, I didn't say I wanted to cooperate with them, do you know about this? I glanced back, and Bu Chip was leaning against the tower and smoking, but he just gave me a pause.
Xiao Xiao sat down with the jade tablet, held a flashlight and looked at it, and Baili called me aside.
"What's wrong? Did you find anything? ”
He led me to the edge of the wall, and one of them rolled over and jumped up, and when he came down, he carried a package in his hand. He glanced at a few other people around him before opening the package: "This is your thing." ”
Inside, it was a wooden box, covered in black lacquer and decorated with vermilion paintings, which should have two layers, the outer one hollowed out. I pointed to the tip of my nose: "Mine? ”
No matter what mystery this box hides, what treasures are placed in it, the box itself is expensive, how do I not know that I am so rich?
"You're bringing me here for this?" Then why didn't he just take it out and give it to me, why did he have to come in and do it?
He glanced behind me and told me to quickly put away the box, and the contents seemed to be extraordinary: "There is another one, it may be in the tower." ”
Is there another thing, is it hidden in the tower? What will it be? Could it be what Grandpa was looking for sixty years ago? Or will it be the Pisces Exquisite Box that Uncle Yuan is looking for?
As soon as I put the wooden box into my backpack, Gu Fei patted me: "You two are mysterious, what are you doing here?" ”
"There's a clue." Baili said a word and walked towards Xiao Xiao.
I put my backpack on my back and patted him, and it just so happened that the sissy was also here: "Let's go." ”
Xiao Xiao said that the jade tablets sent by Wu Qianqian were recorded in Morse code, and I don't know if she can really understand them.
"Do you see what that means?"
Xiao Xiao looked up, seemed a little embarrassed, I thought she didn't understand, she handed the jade piece to me, took out a pen and paper: "I can understand it, but what is recorded is not words, but a string of numbers." ”
I threw the jade piece to Gu Fei and asked, "The numbers from one to eight are scrambled, right?" ”
Xiao Xiao's expression froze, and the hand handing over the paper paused, a little surprised: "How do you know?" ”
I didn't answer, just smiled at the sissy knowingly: "It's time to start!" ”
"Wait a minute." I had just walked out a few steps before Gu Fei grabbed me, "You said that they brought this jade piece, how do you know if what they said is true or false?" Don't forget, there's a beautiful woman who graduated from a military academy over there, and she can't read Morse code? ”
I was stunned for a moment, and I said it too, if it was really taken down from the tower, they must have seen it, Wu Qianqian is not me, it is impossible not to find out that this is Morse code, and give important information to others, will they be so kind?
It's not right to think about it again, if they want to harm us, they will sneak over at the beginning, and it won't take much effort to kill us all, and there is no need to beat around the bush so much.
"The jade piece is real." Baili said firmly, as if he was convinced that Bu Chip did not deliberately let Wu Qianqian come over to deliver the wrong message, "They don't need to lie to us." ”
I opened the piece of paper that Xiao Xiao gave me, carried a flashlight, and illuminated the eight numbers on it: 86521743.
Looking at Bu Chip, he still just leaned on smoking, the expression on his face remained the same, and he made a "please" gesture to me, while Wu Qianqian sat on a stone pier, also smiling harmlessly.
If this jade piece is true, these eight numbers do refer to each chain, they are reluctant to make a move, there is only one possibility: to avoid risks, borrow our hands to open the tower, if unfortunately trigger the mechanism, we will also be the substitute for the dead.
I patted Gu Fei, took a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and told him not to think so much: "Do it." ”
The order of the numbers is known, but which is 1 and which is 8? I think of the rift I saw in the tower before, could it be the interval between 1 and 8? It's a question of clockwise or counterclockwise.
I was having trouble touching that gap, trying to find out where there was no hint of information, who knew that the sissy was so positive, ran over, without saying a word, pulled a chain hard, and suddenly my mind was blank, with the vibration, the sound of gears running under my feet.
Everyone quickly picked up the flashlight and shone it around, and my nerves tensed to the extreme.
When the vibration stopped, the sissy was also relieved, clapped her hands proudly, and said with a smile: "What are you nervous about?" You have to trust the judgment of the lord, these ancients all wrote from the right side to the left, so ......"
I shook my head, loosened my shoulders, leaned against the tower, and shook him with a flashlight: "So what? As soon as my words fell, he fell to his knees and was hit by an arrow in the leg.
"Sissy!" I reacted immediately, he pulled the wrong chain, it wasn't an 8, it was a 1, "Run!" ”
However...... There was no imaginary sword rain, and after putting down a dozen cold arrows, there was no movement, I dragged the sissy, stunned for a moment, and everyone looked around vigilantly, not daring to act rashly.
The foreigners spat out a few swear words, and one of them seemed to have been shot by an arrow.
Calm down, take the flashlight and shine it up, I don't know if I don't shine, I was really shocked when I saw it.
There are four walls on the top of the top, full of dense arrows, the pillars of light sweep through, emitting a sensible light, I can see that I feel numb, not to mention that there are thousands of arrows on it, if we really shoot down, we all have to become honeycomb coal.
But it was obvious that the mechanism was touched, why only a dozen of them flew out, could it be said that the mechanism was broken because of the age? Then he immediately shook his head, this kind of place, it is impossible for this kind of bug to occur.
"One more chance." Baili came over and helped the sissy and glanced at the dense arrows on it, "If you make a mistake again, these will all shoot down."
I shook a little, it turns out that there is still this kind of setting? Presumably, it was because I was afraid that I would forget the order, so I specially set up the "opportunity system".
The sissy was hit with a sword in the leg, but fortunately it didn't hurt the bone, so Baili bandaged him. I turned around to find Bu Chip and his party, and they had already disappeared without a trace, damn it, sure enough, we should be the guinea pigs.
According to the sissy's meaning, he should have pulled the chain on the right side of the rift before, which is code 1, then 8 should be the one on the left.
I walked over, holding the piece of paper in my hand, and my back was covered with cold sweat, for fear that at this time, the mechanism would be aging, and all the arrows would shoot out at once, even if I had the correct answer in my hand, I was very panicked.
