"What the hell is going on? The more I listen to you, the more confused I become. Cui Li asked.

I looked at the spear that was thrown into the corner of the hall by Xia Cheng just now, and finally understood everything, it turned out that the key to unlocking this mechanism was the iron spear.

"Actually, it's all about the spear, and everything else in those boxes is just to mislead our judgment." Xia Cheng took out the book "Don Quixote" and continued: "At the beginning, we found these things from the box, which seemed to be related to medieval knights, and then we naturally thought that there would be any clues in this book, and sure enough, when Zhang Han was reading this book, he found the connection, the number of automatic rifles in the hall was the same as the number on this book, this is the direction we quickly thought we had found to crack the mechanism, but what we didn't know was that this seemed to be the way to open the mechanism, It's actually fake. ”

"That's why I'm being attacked with an automatic rifle. But when I first got closer, the automatic rifles didn't attack. Cui Li asked puzzled.

"It's true that when you just walked out of the staircase, the automatic rifle didn't attack, this is just part of the design of the mechanism, only when your iron gun touches the automatic rifle, the whole mechanism will be fully activated, at this time the iron gun in your hand is the crosshair, all the automatic rifles will be designed for you. By that time, you're far enough away from the safe zone that no matter how fast you are, you won't be able to dodge the bullets. Xia Cheng said slowly.

"It's so dangerous, it's good that you dragged me down with a rope in time, otherwise I'm afraid I'd be dead." Cui Li said with emotion.

"That's why you deliberately threw your spear in the corner of the hall, so that all the automatic rifles would shoot there, and in turn we could safely get out of the staircase and get here." Lin Yun roughly understood.

"That's right, since this mechanism is designed like this, then I'm just using this mechanism in reverse." Xia Cheng handed the book "Don Quixote" to Lin Yun: "You can keep this book, it should be regarded as a commemoration of our departure from here." ”

Lin Yun took the book and said, "This commemoration is a bit too burdensome. ”

We continued our journey to the next level, but we didn't know how many challenges lay ahead of us.

We slowly walked up the stairs, and a brand new floor appeared in front of us.

This floor is so simple that you can see it at a glance, and there is almost nothing.

"Be careful, everyone. Although there seems to be nothing here, it does not mean that there is no danger, and we must always be vigilant. Xia Cheng looked cautiously around the hall.

The building on this floor is different from all the previous floors, and it doesn't look like there is any mechanism at all from me, it's so ordinary that it can't be more ordinary, but because of Cui Li's lesson before, everyone is still very cautious.

"Xia Cheng, there's no problem, right?" Cui Li has obviously learned a little smarter, you must know that he was in the rain of bullets a few minutes ago, and he may lose his life if he is not careful, so now he can be described as a frightened bird, stepping on the floor around him with every step.

"Like...... This floor...... There's no mechanism, right? ”

My speculation was quickly challenged.

"Cheng Yin, have you forgotten what you said about me before? Have you forgotten where this is? Every step is full of dangers, and if you are not careful, you may fall into the trap. Cui Li bore the brunt of this.

We walked cautiously for a few minutes, almost in the middle of the hall, but we still didn't touch any mechanism. All of this made us feel incredible, we had the impression that as long as it was a floor, there should be a floor of organs, and it was impossible to have a floor like this that could be easily passed.

"Look." I walked a few steps back and forth down the hall and said, "I don't think there's really a mechanism on this floor, we can get through here quickly." ”

"Shh......h Cheng Yin, you be quiet. There may be a sophisticated sensor system or something else, and if you make too loud noises or move too loudly, it can trigger the mechanism. It's safer for us to be careful. ”

It can be seen that Cui Li was really frightened by the automatic rifle just now, and now he behaves like a pretentious expedition member.

"Cheng Yin, Cui Li is right, we are not familiar with the situation here, it is always right to be careful. Hurry up, don't touch anything, and try to follow the same route as I am. Xia Cheng said.

I looked at everyone's cautious expressions, and thought that this was not a bad thing, so I didn't say anything more, and walked slowly forward with everyone.

June 2, 2022 at 14:58 p.m

The hall, which we could walk through in two or three minutes, now took nearly 20 minutes to reach the staircase opposite.

"Damn, there really is no mechanism on this floor, which makes me worry in vain." Cui Li looked back at the hall and said.

"Cui Li, forgot those automatic rifles just now so quickly? If you really decide that there is no mechanism, do you dare to go out for two more laps now? Zhao Yuyu said mockingly on the side.

Cui Li suddenly looked embarrassed, and said in a low-key manner: "Forget it, isn't it a delay to run two laps?" Let's hurry up, it's important to rescue Li Ruina. ”

Zhao Yuyu showed a look of disdain. And so we walked through the level unharmed.

Could it be that all the traps ended on the previous level? I walked up the stairs in confusion. Yet I felt my steps getting heavier and heavier.

When we all walked up the stairs to the upper floor, we were shocked by what we saw, we thought we were going to a brand new floor, but what appeared in front of us was a huge elevator.

"This ...... What's going on? Out of the way? Cui Li asked inexplicably.

"I don't know. Xia Cheng, do you think we should go into the elevator? Lin Yun asked cautiously.

This question seems very simple, but in fact it is not so easy, first of all, all of us do not know where this elevator will lead, it may take us to Li Ruina's point, or it may take us to other places; Secondly, we don't know if this so-called elevator is a new institution, and if you rush into it like this, you will undoubtedly fall into the net.

At this time, Xia Cheng was also very hesitant, but just when we were hesitating, the door of the elevator in front of us suddenly opened slowly.

"This ...... What's going on? We haven't pressed the elevator button yet, why did the door open? Cui Li said in a panic.

"This must be a trap! We can't go up! Zhao Yuyu looked at the elevator in front of him with suspicious eyes.

At this time, all the decisions fall on Xia Cheng, and his judgment will determine the fate of all of us.
