Chapter 161: Elevator Puzzle

On the screen of the mobile phone, in addition to the decreasing time, there is another line of three-digit numbers.

From 298 to 297 at this moment, the speed of each second is decreasing at a constant rate.

It's easy to see that the bottom three digits are the seconds left for the top 5 minutes...... But why it is converted to seconds and displayed again, it is unknown.

And except for these two lines of numbers, the entire phone screen is blank, and there are no words.

Chen Xiao frowned, this inexplicable information didn't give him any hints, nor did he say what he wanted to do, let alone any topic or even a word, so he gave a "countdown" dryly, which was really confusing.

"Yo roar~~" Chen Xiao said hello to his mobile phone, but there was no response......

Immediately after, he poked the screen of his mobile phone again, and threw it directly to the ground with a "snap", but then he found that he couldn't even cancel this interface.

This countdown has been in the trapezoidal shape of what people should do.

Chen Xiao licked his lips...... It seems that the event that affects this time should no longer be the phone itself, so he gave up studying it and put it directly in his pocket.

As for checking how much time was left in the countdown, he had never needed any tools.

Then next, Chen Xiao once again cast his eyes around him, although when he first entered this elevator, Chen Xiao had already habitually looked at the environment in the elevator...... But he felt that it was necessary to look at it carefully.

One is that when I first entered the elevator, I didn't scan it, and the other is that the countdown that didn't have any hints at that time didn't appear. So maybe just now, something has changed in this elevator.

Without further ado, let's take a look at this elevator.

Belch...... But to be honest, there really isn't much to see in such a small place.

The entire elevator is only 3 or 4 square meters of area, all white, is a very long space, the left and right spacing is very narrow, only enough for two people to stand side by side, and its length is about more than double the width, the wall facing the door is a mirror, only one-fifth the size of the wall it hangs on, and the height of the placement is just above Chen Xiao's waist. On the two walls except for the "door" and the "mirror", there were two "long stick" type handrails embedded in them, and the rest was bare and nothing, and on the ceiling, the machine that had just emitted red light retracted into the ceiling after scanning it, and the window he came out of was so tightly fitted with the surrounding ceiling that not even a knife could be inserted. Moreover, the source of light in the elevator is basically emitted by the special metal material of the roof itself, so there is no such thing as a "lamp". At the same time, the bottom plate of the elevator is also made of the same material, which also leads to the entire elevator, in addition to the elevator doors that can be opened and closed left and right, what remains is a confined space that can hardly even be found in the gap.

The elevator door is also decorated, and next to the door, there are only two buttons, one with two opposite arrows drawn on it, representing "open", and the other arrow opposite, representing "closed". There is not even a button for the floor.

Because Chen Xiao took 1 second to observe the structure of this elevator again. After that, he came to the conclusion that it was...... Nothing has changed......

However, he did not show any regrets, because it meant that what this countdown made him do was always there, not temporary after the countdown began.

So immediately after, he did something that was sure to be useless, and he pressed the two switches next to the elevator door.

......

......

"Hmm...... Sure enough, nothing happened! Chen Xiao said to himself. Although he had expected this result, he always felt that it would be uncomfortable not to try.

Of course, even if he tried, he didn't waste even a second, because when he pressed the elevator switch with one hand, the other hand had already reached into the crotch of his pants...... Pulled out the silver revolver. (You filthy bunches...... What do you think? )

Immediately afterwards, he took the barrel of the pistol and smashed the butt of the pistol against the elevator door without hesitation in a hammer stance.

There was a loud bang, in this almost closed and narrow space, it was like ringing a bronze bell, which shook Chen Xiao and almost sat on the ground.

After he shook his head to get his eyes back into place, he found that the elevator door was indeed dented in a large piece, but there was no major damage on the whole, that is, it was feasible to smash the door open with the butt of a gun, but by the time it was successful, it was estimated that dinner was over.

Seeing that the plan of "smashing the elevator door" was out of play, Chen Xiao once again put his hand into the crotch of his pants and took out a switchblade.

With a "click", the switchblade was unsheathed, and with this vibration for a few seconds, Chen Xiao took a step and inserted the knife directly into the elevator door......

Then there was a "dang" sound...... Belch...... Didn't insert it.

"me?" Chen Xiao was slightly shocked: "Is this door so tight?" ”

Immediately afterward, he did not believe in evil and slashed the door with his knife a few times, and inserted the knife into the gap between the doors that had just been smashed in, back and forth.

But in the end, he gave up the idea of opening the elevator.

Because even the cutting ability of the vibrating dagger can only leave a few scratches on it, that is, the material used in this elevator is extremely dense, and it is estimated that a direct laser shot is enough to penetrate it, so it is absolutely impossible to open it violently.

At this moment, 30 seconds have passed

And Chen Xiao also quickly turned around and faced the mirror behind him.

Since the idea of "going out" has been dismissed for the time being, the most suspicious remains...... This is the mirror.

Chen Xiao walked quickly towards the mirror...... Because the distance between the elevator door and the mirror was very "long", Chen Xiao walked for nearly two seconds before coming to the mirror, and showed a smile to himself without heart.

After that, it seemed to be disgusted, so I quickly restrained my smile.

Then he leaned closer to the mirror, first sighed, wiped the "mist" with his sleeve, and then brought his eyes to the point of almost touching the mirror, and looked in vigorously, as if he could let the line of sight pass through...... After a second, he saw that there was nothing unusual.

So Chen Xiao came to the side of the mirror again, put his face on the wall next to the mirror, closed the eye on the outside, and at the same time covered the light with his hand, carefully observed the surface of the mirror, and then found that the mirror did not have any protruding or concave arc.

That is, this is an ordinary mirror.

And after Chen Xiao confirmed this...... In an instant, it was as if he turned his face and didn't recognize people, and smashed it again with a shot.

"Wow-" sound.

The mirror was smashed to pieces and scattered on the ground. Only the four corners are still hanging on the wall, dangling, and they can't hold up for long.

But with the sound of broken glass...... What appeared in front of Chen Xiao's eyes was not something like a password or a button switch.

But...... A wall.

That's right, it's the same wall as the one around it, which means there's nothing behind the mirror......

"Huh?" Chen Xiao was puzzled again, hurriedly stepped forward, knocked up, down, left and right like knocking on the door, and found that ...... It's really no different.

It seems that this wall and mirror cannot provide any clues.

At this time, according to the countdown in Chen Xiao's heart, the countdown had come to 3:40, and Chen Xiao still had no idea what to do.

But

"Hey, hey, hey—"

Chen Xiao smiled with his throat and didn't look anxious.

After searching the "door" and "window", he turned his gaze to the ground

Then, with his keen observation, he determined the ...... There is nothing on the ground......

Well, this is not a sentence to make up the number of words, but to show that there are no gaps on the ground, and there is no pinch of dust to judge whether there is an air outlet and its direction, when he just walked back and forth, Chen Xiao also deliberately stepped on it in different positions, so as to roughly determine that the material of this bottom plate is integrated with the surrounding walls, that is to say, there is no need to try smashing, chopping and other methods, it is useless.

This process...... It took less than a second!

......

......

A door, a wall, a mirror and a base~

And the remaining two walls, except for a handrail each, have looked back and forth many times with their peripheral vision, and basically there will be no clues.

In other words, the countdown is associated with the roof of the elevator.

Chen Xiao raised his head and glanced at the ceiling above his head,

Licked his lips.

Because......

This ceiling is a bit high. is so high that with Chen Xiao's current ability, even if he uses the strength to smack his milk, he can't reach it.

But it is impossible to stump Chen Xiao at all......

Since the handrails inside the elevator are only inlaid on the elevator wall with ordinary steel, he only listened to "poof" and "poof" twice, and one handrail was cut off by Chen Xiao with a vibrating dagger.

Then, he held the handrail, like a stick, and "clanged" at the roof of the elevator! If it is in his own house, the upstairs neighbor will report it accurately, and the landlord and aunt will probably hold our smiling little hands and talk all night.

Without further ado, under such a high-frequency and rapid beating, Chen Xiao finally discovered that there was a small range on the ceiling where he was tapping the ceiling with a stick, and the sound was different from other places......

"Hey, hey—found it!" Chen Xiao was overjoyed, and then he poked this place with a stick even more violently.

Soon, the different place was punctured by Chen Xiao.

With a "crackling" sound, the smashed materials fell to the ground one after another, looking like some kind of tile, also white, almost identical to the ceiling, and could not be distinguished at all.

And behind this tile, a boxy window of about 10 square centimeters appeared above Chen Xiao's head.

And the black rumbling is so big that I can't see what's inside

Chen Xiao didn't think much about it, although he almost didn't waste any time, but now the countdown is still here

2:55, and the number 175 followed. I don't know what will happen after this countdown ends, but it's certainly not going to be a good thing.

So Chen Xiao almost followed the strength of poking the tile, and directly inserted the iron rod, that is, the handrail, into the window.

But then, the stick was blocked, and at a distance of about 20 centimeters from the black rumbling window, there was an oblique baffle, which formed a 60-degree arc with the wall next to the window, and the baffle was very hard, and it should be the same material as the surrounding walls.

In other words, something like an iron rod that can't be bent will definitely not be able to reach through.

Moreover, this distance from the entrance of the cave is almost a full distance, and the angle between it is not a big bend, as if to tell people that this hole is ...... It's designed to make people stretch their arms in.

Chen Xiao thought for a moment......

Presumably, there should be a button or something in this hole, and as soon as you press it, that countdown should stop.

Although this is just a guess, no matter how you think about it, this hidden window must be the key to the countdown. So now that you know what the goal is, the rest is much easier.

I saw Chen Xiao glance at the distance between the walls on the left and right sides of the elevator, and turned around directly, with a knife in his hand.

"Oop" and "Oop" were two more blows, and he also cut off the handrail on the other side of the wall.

At this moment, Chen Xiao has two steel pipes in his hands,

He then placed the handrails side by side into the elevator diagonally, with one end leaning against the angle between the wall and the floor, while the other end leaned against the wall on the other. After this, Chen Xiao began to undress......

In order not to make everyone have any strange thoughts, I would like to emphasize here that he only took off his purple suit......

After that, he tied the two sleeves of the suit to the two armrests. And since there are several protrusions on the armrest that are connected to the wall, the clothes can easily get stuck on them without worrying about slipping off. In addition, this suit can be blocked by bullets, not to mention Chen Xiao's small physique. In this way, a small staircase similar to a "hammock" was made.

And Chen Xiao didn't waste time, he directly stepped on his clothes and hung in mid-air. Due to gravity, the clothes had to sink by about 10 centimeters, and this distance was just enough for Chen Xiao to use his body to push between the two iron rods, so as not to let the sticks get too close to each other due to the pull of the clothes, so as to maintain balance.

At this time, he was tall enough to put his elbows into the hidden window, and Chen Xiao did just that.

But right after his entire elbow was stuck through the window

Chen smiled

I was stunned......

Because, within the reach of your own hands...... It's empty, there's nothing.
