Wall of riddles
A thick wall stood in front of them, and the wall, which was clearly different in color from the surrounding walls, was undoubtedly an obstacle preventing them from moving forward. + Pine, pine, pine, small, + said
Looking at the posture of Luo Ning's father and daughter standing on the edge of the wall and thinking, most of them were thinking about how to pass.
"I said, isn't it just a wall? It's time to sacrifice my pickaxe. ”
Gong Chen volunteered to take out a mining tool from his universal pocket and slammed it down on the wall in front of him.
As a result, the huge recoil force directly caused the pickaxe in his hand to fly, and if it hadn't been for Father Ann grabbing his wrist at the critical moment, I am afraid that he would probably fall with a 'blue nose and swollen face'.
Luo Ning rubbed his finger bones on the wall for a moment, and said seriously: "This is a wall made of brass, what do you do... Well, not very sane. ”
"Luo Ning, why didn't you say it earlier."
Gong Chen, who picked up the pickaxe head, muttered angrily, his expression a little aggrieved.
"Because we're not very sure, neither Luo Ning nor I dared to make judgments until you did it yourself. But thanks to you, I already know what it is. ”
Wan Jie took the initiative to help Luo Ning exonerate for the first time, which made the latter a little moved. After these explanations, she asked everyone present, "Are any of you good at riddles?" ”
'Riddles? Yu Siqi went to the temple fair a few times when he was a child, and the lantern riddles in it always interested him. But to say that he is very proficient in this thing, he hasn't dabbled much in it since he grew up, so how can he be embarrassed to say the word 'good at'.
"If you want to tell a riddle, you have to let the priest do it! Is there anyone better than him for this position? No! ”
Gong Chen very enthusiastically pushed Father An to Wan Jie and said, "It's right to look for him for this matter." ”
"I'm not really good at that."
Father An's voice was almost drowned out by Gong Chen's loud voice, probably because everyone was watching him, so he simply changed his words and said, "It can't be that you can only solve riddles to get through this wall, right?" ”
"That's pretty much it. Because I suddenly realized that in very old times, there was a kind of riddle wall made of brass. They are usually placed in particularly important locations and are responsible for guarding certain valuables. ”
Wan Jie deliberately gave up a position, so that Father An could walk smoothly in front of the wall.
Father An, who came to the wall, politely asked, "What should I do now?" ”
"You just have to put your hand on the wall and try to talk to it with your spirit."
Wan Jie made a demonstration, and Father An followed her example and continued to do it.
"Hmm... Interestingly, it responded to me. However, he seems to be very lonely, and I hope that we can all accompany him to relieve his boredom. ”
Father Ann muttered to himself, then slowly withdrew his hand. Immediately after, a thick male voice appeared on the wall.
"Hey, can you hear me? I'm sorry, but I'm adjusting to your language. ”
"Honestly, you're a bit loud."
Yu Siqi shoved his fingers into his ears, but he could still hear the loud echo lingering in his ears.
"I'm sorry, I should be better now. I haven't spoken to anyone in years, and it's nice to see a living person. ”
The wall adjusted its volume slightly, and after making sure that everyone's expressions were not so painful, it let out a distinctly emotional 'self-sigh'.
"You're the so-called riddle wall?"
Gong Chen looked at the wall suspiciously and asked, "Are you sure there's someone hiding on the other side talking to us?" ”
"I am the wall of riddles, and you can call me Mai. As for the other person you speak of, I don't want to draw the attention of that lady as you do, she has a bad temper. ”
The riddle wall, which claims to be Mai, seems to have completely misunderstood what Gong Chen meant, but judging from his statement, most of them are not in the same league as Shengjia.
"Can you let us pass?"
Wan Jie asked abruptly.
"Although you are the body of the Three Pillars, I still can't defy my logical thinking. It's like the rules have to be followed, and I have to ask you questions. But for the sake of your willingness to chat with me, I might be able to put the water out and test you with the simplest of puzzles. ”
Mai rejected Wan Jie's request and gave her own code of conduct. While there is nothing wrong with this, it is somewhat disappointing. Only Ronin seems to have given a considerable degree of approval to Mai's approach.
"Please ask for the question."
Father Ann was ready, but at this time the wall was changing. After a miserable scream, a somewhat terrifying face emerged from the wall.
"I'm terrified to see you all alive on my doorstep."
Shengjia's voice came out of the man's face, making everyone a little nervous. As if noticing the abnormal state of everyone, she actually sneered and added slyly: "Oh, please don't strain your nerves too much, that will reduce the nutrients in your blood, and it will affect the taste." ”
"Why are you at the door, Mai?"
Wan Jie looked at her coldly, and her tone was a little subtle.
"That silly boy who only knows how to guess riddles? I accidentally assimilated him when I came over just now.,After all, it's just a few lines of code.,It's gone.,It's gone.。 ”
Shengjia's nonchalant tone was very unpleasant, but even more unpleasant words came out of her mouth.
"Speaking of which, the helper I found before was really weak. I told them where I was, but I still couldn't do you any real harm. It was in vain that I had spent so much effort planning a route for them to advance and retreat. ”
"So, you really called those synths?"
Yu Siqi was trying not to sound so annoyed in his tone.
"I'm calling you, after all, I just took the time to eavesdrop on their call, and then I found out that there are still people who want your life. Looks like you're getting in more trouble than I thought you would! ”
A strange expression appeared on Shengjia's face, and then several small pustules suddenly protruded on her face, but they quickly disappeared.
"So, you came up with the plan to kill someone with a knife?"
Father An, who noticed this detail, frowned slightly and asked casually.
"Judging from the current situation, it seems that the other party is not motivated at all. Of course, it can't be ruled out that they actually want me to have a showdown with you. ”
Shengjia's face suddenly turned away, revealing a large bare wall, and a faint male voice said, "I... It's wheat... I'm dying... I have... A request... I hope you guys can stop... She... She's just..."
Mai cut off before he could finish his words, and Shengjia's face turned back again. She said with an angry expression: "I underestimated that fool, and I actually knew how to put a hidden command for deactivation in my code." But after all, it's still too tender, after all, it's just a puzzle that I know all day that there is no point in thinking about it. ”
"He's a lot more interesting than you."
Yu Siqi glared at Shengjia in disgust, and the latter glared back without showing weakness.
Under the competition between the two of them, no one noticed that Luo Ning had sneaked to the edge of the wall at this time, and a heat wave that rose out of thin air quickly swept the entire place.
And under that heat wave, Shengjia asked in surprise, "Are you going to melt this wall down?" ”
"You don't need to melt it all, you just need to make a gap that can pass people."
Luo Ning increased his firepower, and now even Yu Siqi felt very hot, not to mention Gong Chen and Father Priest. The irresistible heat is like exposing people to the sun.
"Crazy, you're going to ruin my food. Stop! ”
Shengjia screamed, she seemed to be quite concerned about the 'death' of Siqi and the others.
"There's no turning back."
Luo Ning not only did not intend to stop, but added a few more fires. Yu Siqi had already begun to undress now, while Gong Chen was running backwards while pulling his coat.
"No, there will be. Don't you want to come and visit me? I agreed, anyway, even if I let you in, you won't be able to help me. ”
Shengjia actually took the initiative to open the door, and this result obviously exceeded most expectations. Except for Ronin, no one noticed the grin he was grinning as he withdrew the flames.
