Chapter 4: The Deadly Corridor and the Beauty (2)
"It seems that my idea is correct," Zhang Litong pouted, "This copy is indeed an escape room routine." So ...... next"
"The Ministry of Harmony has sent people to explore this world many times, and what it knows is relatively safe for newcomers, and it is mainly based on decryption and a small amount of combat."
[Side quest 3: Crack the world view (2/3), please keep up the good work]
This is actually a conclusion that can be drawn after a little thought: although Zhang Litong still doesn't know how this mission world was formed, and he doesn't know why he was pulled into it, but according to some observations and explorations and so many years of experience in reading novels and movies, it is not difficult for him to see that this place may be infinitely close to the real world in a macro sense.
Based on this analysis, if it is assumed that the Ministry of Harmony has no understanding of this world at all, then the clear task lines and precise collection requirements he received do not make sense at all, after all, even the Ministry of Harmony cannot predict every move of each person or the different small things that will happen in a world at different times, otherwise there will be no crime in the real world at all. Therefore, in the past, there must have been many special personnel of the Ministry of Harmony who were inexplicably pulled into this world and completed a certain amount of exploration, and it was precisely because of the information recorded and reported by these people that the Ministry of Harmony could send such a clear request.
In addition, if this place is extremely dangerous, the Ministry of Harmony has no reason to let it continue to show off, let alone let the novice interns live in this dormitory. Zhang Litong felt that he should have entered the copy in the flesh, but if he accidentally suffered a limb injury or even died by mistake, it would probably be a slightly terrifying nightmare, and for ordinary people who had lived in 319, at most some strange campus legends would come out at the end.
As for the inference of the content of the dungeon in the second half of the sentence, his explanation of the decryption is entirely because the mission has put forward the request to find clues, and the analysis of the combat part is due to the unequipped requirements that come with the room but it is definitely an artifact bench with a miracle soldier, if it is a simple escape room, then there is no need to do such a thankless task.
"There is still one world view left, and there are nine clues left, so it's better to go outside to see the situation and then complete the main quest easily," Zhang Litong, who consciously performed well, showed an expectant smile on his face, "There are cute girls waiting for this hero outside the door, there is no need to waste too much time here." ”
However, in view of the lesson of the light switch just now, although Zhang Litong was in a hurry to go out, he still cautiously put his hand on the doorknob on the premise of maintaining 120,000 vigilance - it is very irrational to open the door rashly in this kind of slightly terrifying copy, of course, this is also to be able to retreat in time after the light screen pops up. Unsurprisingly, just as he began to twist the handle to open the door, a prompt appeared in front of him:
[Hint: There are still unfound clues in this room (1/3), and you will not be able to return after leaving at this time, are you sure you want to go out?] 】
"Tsk, I'm glad I'm smart enough." Zhang Litong will not hesitate to praise himself at this time, although it seems to be a little narcissistic, but fortunately, his office efficiency is still okay. Since everyone has said that they can't come back after they go out, then Zhang Litong, who is an achievement party, has no reason to skip the level, anyway, only by opening the door will the main quest be officially opened, so it doesn't matter if you waste some time now.
Zhang Litong tilted his head and thought for a while, "There should be only two places left in the whole room that have not been checked, right?" ”
The inside of the trash can is blank, clean as if it were new; The iron-framed bed is cabinet-like and completely immovable, and there is certainly no space underneath to hide clues, so the main contradiction at the moment is the drawers in the wardrobe and the bedside table and the communal table.
However, the hint given by the copy is already obvious: only one bed has a full bedding and pillows; There is only one stool to use, and these should be things that the character possessed by Zhang Litong has used before, so according to this idea, the only area that can provide clues is his own bedside table!
In order to protect himself, Zhang Litong carefully observed the overall situation of the bedside table before opening the drawer: wooden, some tattered on both sides, and the cabinet was covered with uneven notches, because of the darkness, he was not sure about the color of the cabinet, it felt like brown yellow or earthy yellow, but this information did not seem to help decipher. From a structural point of view, the bedside table in the copy is also somewhat similar to the one used by Zhang Litong in reality, both of which are "one drawer and one cabinet" model.
After carefully studying the exterior of the cabinet two or three times and making sure that there were no traps, Brother Tong slowly opened the top drawer:
"Holy, what the hell?" Zhang Litong, who was originally very curious about the content of the clues, couldn't help but scream after seeing what was inside. I saw the thing in the drawer: the end is like an ink painting, the face is like a peach blossom, the waist is like a thin willow, and the foot is more than a knife cut, which is really a pretty appearance!
"Why do you still have a gift figure in this copy!"
Okay, Brother Tong is not a cultural person like us, but this is indeed a lot clearer. That's right, the thing in that drawer is an anime figure commonly known as a plastic villain!
"Could it be that the character I possess is a dead house?" Zhang Litong whispered with a skeptical attitude, who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, he received a notification from the light screen:
[Side quest 2: Collect clues (2/10), please keep up the good work]
“…… Really!? But this clue is too easy to find, and it's worthy of a novice task. ”
"Ding! What a coincidence! The symbiote interjected in time to show its face.
"I still don't want to ask you what kind of coincidence it is, I always feel like I'm going to want to kill you when I know it." Zhang Litong actually had already replied to the symbiote in his heart, so he really didn't want to deal with this mental illness.
"Ding! I mean, it's a coincidence that you're both dead houses! ”
"Huh."
Zhang Litong, who had already made up his mind not to compete with the symbiote, brought the figure in front of him, and immediately put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, "Hey, why is this figure broken like this?" When the figure was still in the drawer, he smelled a little glue, and now when he looked carefully, he saw that there were obvious fractures on its waist, head, and limbs.
Zhang Litong opened the cabinet below again, and there were some wires, a few maintenance tools and a bottle of glue in the small space inside.
"Tsk, this is the legend that there is a tiger in the heart that can smell the rose?"
"Ding! It's a macho man who can also be a man! ”
