Walking down the third floor, Ren Xuan immediately ran to the gate impatiently.

"Hey!"

Bang! Without hesitation, he slammed the door, and the consequences were not the same....!

"It hurts!?"

"Why didn't the door open?"

Taking a few steps back, Ren Xuan rubbed his shoulders and looked at Gu Moli innocently, but Gu Moli ignored him and looked at Hua Qiong with an apologetic expression: "I'm sorry, I said you were a fool before, it seems that I underestimate the lower limit of stupidity." ”

"Hey!"

"Stop talking, stupid people are contagious."

"Hmm!"

Ren Xuan felt that he had been greatly insulted, but there was nothing he could refute, so he had to walk back to the team obediently, and said in a sullen tone: ".... So you say, where is the exit? If it's not a gate, it can't be a window or something, right? ”

"Is it a toilet?"

Unexpectedly, Zhuge said his answer.

Hua Qiong was slightly stunned again, and then reacted quickly: "... Ah, yes. ”

"Yes, what, yes?"

"The perfect chamber."

After making it clear that Ren Xuan was a fool, Gu Moli immediately took out the attitude he should have to deal with a fool, and said with a kind and kind smile: "Yun Xiaoyue's perfect disappearance in the toilet was supposed to be a perfect secret room, but it no longer existed because of Li Shaohua's suspicions. ”

"But even if the two collude with each other and want to explain Yun Xiaoyue's disappearance."

"There's really only one way."

"The toilet space is small, there is no room for hiding, the only door is watched by Zhuge , it is impossible to leave secretly, and the most important thing is the blood in the toilet."

"Blood?"

"Judging from Li Shaohua's self-report, it was as if a basin of blood was splashed at her at that time, and it was true to see the blood stains at the scene, but the problem is that if everything is true, the amount of blood that appeared in the toilet has exceeded the amount of blood in a person's body."

“.... How do you know? ”

"I've tested it before."

Gu Moli skipped this topic with a simple sentence, and then continued: "All in all, I want to make a big living person disappear from that toilet. ”

"No matter how you think about it, there is only the exit of the toilet and more than the door.... That's a reason. ”

“... That's right. ”

Under Gu Moli's explanation, Ren Xuan also clarified his thoughts: "That's why I said that it might be in the toilet, because that's what Yun Xiaoyue used when she left the secret room... Secret passages? ”

"Correct."

Gu Moli nodded, and then strode towards the direction of the toilet, and then opened the door of the toilet.

However....

"Nothing?"

"What's going on?"

.... The toilet that appeared in front of everyone was exactly the same as before, and blood stained almost every corner, even the ceiling, like a red prison.

"Nonsense, since it's a secret passage, how can it be so easy to appear? As the curse says, I've just unlocked the locks of the secret passage. ”

Gu Moli looked at the toilet and continued: "Just imagine, if this scene was made by Li Shaohua and Yun Xiaoyue together, then how would they do it? Yun Xiaoyue, who left, was responsible for pouring blood, while Li Shaohua sat on his knees and let Yun Xiaoyue do it. ”

"First of all, if the entrance to the secret passage is on the wall, the blood spilled on it is very likely to seep into the gap between the entrance and the wall, no matter how small the gap is, in this case, it is unlikely to be on the wall, and secondly, for the same reason, if the blood is everywhere, then when Yun Xiaoyue leaves, the blood may seep into the secret passage, and the corresponding traces will still form when the entrance is closed."

"So.... It has to be somewhere there is no blood, or very little blood. ”

"That is to say...."

Everyone's eyes quickly focused on the only place where there was no blood around, only blood marks near the lid.

Toilet.

In other words: Yun Xiaoyue is really TM may have been sucked in by the toilet!

"This is the entrance to the secret passage?"

"Try it?"

Gu Moli stepped forward, touched around the toilet, and finally pressed the large and small flush buttons in turn, and then pressed the two at the same time.

Click!

The sound of the familiar machine sounded again, and then, under the surprised gaze of everyone, the lid of the toilet automatically closed, and then the gap between it and the ground quickly expanded, and the whole and the surrounding floor tiles rose slightly, and then began to flip again, and the toilet bowl as a whole turned into the ground.

But at the same time, something that had been underground turned upside down.

Is that.....

“.... A stone monument? ”

The same stele as the one standing at the entrance of Phantom City, with the corresponding characters engraved on it.

"Only a wise man who understands the truth of the Shadow Nation can lead to the Shadow Nation."

"Do you want to solve the puzzle!?"

"It's all come to this point, and it's like playing this kind of thing, it's like..."

“.... Game. ”

Gu Moli said what everyone thought in their hearts.

That's right, a well-organized puzzle that requires the investigation of the hard indicators of the entire villa, sudden cases, corresponding clues, and the game, what's the difference?

"It's all here, just untie it."

"The so-called truth of the Shadow Country, it should be that, the final puzzle involving this Phantom City, which appeared out of thin air in three minutes."

Gu Moli smiled slightly, and immediately looked at the stone tablet: "Do you need me to say it directly, in fact, the prompt was given when the toilet turned into the ground just now.... Well, about this, Hua Qiong, do you remember when we came here before, what was on the original construction site? ”

"Huh?" Hua Qiong, who was named and asked, was stunned, although her ability was lacking, her memory was actually quite good: "I remember... Well, some cement pipes, and a log cabin, but the one is locked, and it should be a workers' rest house before it was abandoned...."

"Where's that cabin?"

"Where....!?"

Hua Qiong reacted quickly, she thought quickly, and she had investigated the construction site very seriously, as long as she imagined the location of the construction site and Phantom City in her mind, and then compared it, she could easily get the answer.

That's right.

“... Over here! ”

"Yes! This washroom! Close to the original location of the wooden house! To put it this way...! ”

"You can teach."

Gu Moli made a correct gesture: "At first, I thought that Phantom City might be underground, but after careful consideration, I still felt that it was unrealistic, after all, if it was similar to an underground castle floating up, the original ground would be used as an exit, and it would be difficult to ensure that there were no flaws in the operation." ”

"For example, if the castle comes out of the ground, then the original construction site on the ground is the exit, how do you open this exit? Income underground? In this case, there are two steps, first to retract the surface of the site, and then to slowly raise the castle from the ground. ”

"But in this way, it is actually quite difficult to complete it in three minutes, and it requires support machinery that is enough to bring the surface of the construction site into the ground, as well as lifting machinery to push Phantom City to the ground, and it also requires two steps before and after, which is not realistic, so after thinking about it again, I still gave up this idea."

"But in fact, the essence of this idea is not wrong, but the production of Phantom City is more ingenious, they didn't make it that complicated, they just built a Phantom City directly under the construction site, upside down, and added a flipped machine."

"When you really want to use it, you only need to flip the construction site over, and you can immediately do it in one step, so that the Phantom City can appear out of thin air in the original place, and the time consumed is definitely less than the first way, if the investment and technology are enough, the corresponding mechanical sound can be eliminated."

"Flip .... In three minutes? ”

"It should be possible to invest unimaginable money in engineering problems with current technology, and no matter how incredible the facts are, as long as there is enough evidence, it is the only truth, and the interior of Phantom City also corroborates this."

"Internal....?"

"All those pieces of furniture are sealed, right? Tables and chairs can't be moved, vases can't be moved, chandeliers are fixed, everything is locked and it's very secure, why do that? The ostensible explanation is that Duke Phantom does not allow outsiders to take anything away. ”

"But that's too far-fetched, isn't it? Is there a better explanation? ”

Zhuge who had been silent for a long time finally spoke: ".... Is it to prevent Phantom City from being reversed from underground to aboveground, and the contents of the interior can still remain the same? ”

"Correct."

"Indeed..... If you look at it this way, you can explain it. ”

"So...."

"The truth of the Shadow Country is nothing more than that Phantom City was originally located underground, and it was flipped to the ground within three minutes, that's it, it's not that difficult."

Click!

As soon as Gu Moli's words fell, the stone tablet in front of everyone made another sound, and then with the wall behind him, the whole retreated to the next room, revealing its pedestal, and there, a pitch-black hole with a staircase appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
