CHAPTER 550 REASONING
"Let's sit down first, I'll explain the whole thing to you, and if the inference is correct, we'll have no problem staying here as long as we want."
Under Jia Xin's instructions, everyone sat around the corner in the center of the corridor.
"Actually, Zhang Chen, you didn't find the clues here, and it should be, presumably you need to cooperate with the little girl against the 'clown', so you didn't expect the two to act separately. In addition, Zhang Chen, you have too little experience and too little knowledge, so that the problem of this staircase cannot be detected at the first time."
"Depending on the crux of the matter, I immediately divided the issue into two parts – the fourth floor and the stairway. Split these two apart for independent analysis. The reason why we do this is because we're probably not in the lookout tower anymore."
"Not in the lookout?" Zhang Chen is not the only one who has raised questions.
Jia Xin continued to speak slowly.
"Except for Zhang Chen, several of us have experienced two teleportations from the heavenly world to the sacrificial world, and if we observe the things around us carefully, we will soon be able to find out the problem. The time it took for the rest of us to teleport from the waitress on the third floor to the fourth floor was 0.2 to 0.3 seconds less than in the watchtower where you were in Zhang Chen."
"Although the time is very short, such a short time in the space passage can move a long distance. In other words, this 'sacrifice to the world' may no longer look inside the building."
As soon as Jia Xin's words came out, except for Zhan Yun who seemed to notice it, everyone present was shocked.
"Because of this one conclusion. I'll have the rest of my guesses. However, I made a real yàn with everyone, which proved that my conjecture was correct. The focus of this place is not on the clown, but on two other key points."
"Zhang Chen, the clown you killed more than ten times, and the clown I killed in the end are all the same person."
"The same person?"
"It's supposed to be an extremely powerful clone of the Joker, or a part of his body. Able to use illusions and manipulate time, but the strength of the body is still weak. The real clown has so much so much so that you've lost sight of something extremely important."
"Can you think carefully about what is strange about each appearance of the clown?" Jia Xin asked
"Do you come out of the wooden door of the passage every time?"
"Yes, the first important question is on the wooden door that leads to the stairway in the sacrificial room. Why doesn't the clown appear when we enter the staircase? Because there is a device at the door axis to reset the time of the 'sacrifice to the world'. Every time you open the door from inside the corridor to the outside, the time of the 'sacrifice to the world' will be reset. That's why I let you go up and I open the door below."
"I'll open the door first to reset the time, and you will open the door and reset the time again the next second. So I only need to find a reference in the fourth layer to observe the time reset between seconds, and it turns out that my point is correct."
After hearing this, Zhang Chen couldn't help but have questions in his heart.
"There are two problems. First. Every time a clown dies or is forced into a certain death situation, a new clown will appear. Didn't the clown open the wooden door from the inside?"
"This should be set in advance. When the system determines that there is a certain death, the wooden door will automatically open outward. This is also why the clown feels like he comes out of the wooden door every time, and in fact the wooden door opens by itself to reset the time. This fake of the clown appears next to the wooden door to disrupt your analysis."
Zhang Chen thought about it and nodded
"Second question. According to you, do the upper doors and the lower doors lead to the same 'sacrifice world'? How can it be? There is clearly no fluctuation of spatial energy on the door."
"So then there's the second key point, and here, the mystery of the staircase."
Jia Xin inserted his right hand directly into the center of the wooden floor where everyone was sitting in a circle in the shape of a hand knife, took a polygonal prismatic transparent cube in his hand, and shook it in front of everyone.
"The disposable item 'Konglun Crystal', our disciples of the Qingyun Sect generally know that this kind of item is generally used in the cultivation ground, and it can superimpose space. Test the disciple's heart. Place the empty crystal in the center of the corner of the corridor, and then use a little means to stack the exits of the upper and lower floors on top of each other."
"Disposable?" Zhang Chen could indeed feel that there was not a trace of energy left in this so-called Konglun Crystal now.
"Yes, the clown is very smart. Small tricks turn disposable things into infinitely usable things. As I said earlier, when we open the door inside the corridor and open the door outward, it will reset the time in the outer sacrificial world, but when we enter the corridor from the sacrificial world and open the door inward, it will reset the time in the hallway, so that every time we enter the hallway, the Konglun Crystal will regain its ability and make the upper and lower doors superimposed."
Jia Xin finished analyzing this qiē. Zhang Chen is afraid that he is really convinced. If it is divided equally between himself and Jia Xin, Jia Xin is in strength. Skills, knowledge, analysis, and adaptability may all be full marks. And the only thing I can compare to is one thing - luck.
"Now that you know the rules, what's next? What do we need to do?"
"Actually, I don't fully understand it, and I still can't guess what the Joker's real purpose is. If he really just wants something out of you or something else from you, he's perfectly fine with it while we're there. Therefore, we must revisit the Joker's purpose, but his main purpose is indeed that you are not bad, and the more subtle purpose is not clear."
"Now, let's get out of here. I've already said that. [,! ], this should not belong to the Wangren Building. Now take this 'empty Lun Crystal', we just need to go out and come in again, and the corridors will not overlap, and the exit here will naturally appear."
"Resetting time, won't it reset the Konglun Crystal?"
"This kind of thing is not a mortal thing, if it can be reset constantly, do you think it's a bug that can be treasured? At most, it's just resetting the energy in the Konglun crystal."
Jia Xin pinched his right hand. Konglun crystal is directly pinched into powder and sprinkled in the air.
"Let's go."
The seven people stood up and followed Jia Xin and walked out through the wooden door on the next floor. The wooden door opens, and the time in the sacrificial room is immediately reset. The Joker's fake form reappears.
However, the seven of them combined to kill the clown who had just refreshed very easily, and returned to the corridor again.
The corridor on the upper and lower floors is pitch black, I don't know if it will be like Jia Xin said, the empty Lunjing has not been reset so that the upper floor of the corridor no longer leads to the sacrificial world.
However, when everyone stepped up the stairs to the second floor and opened the wooden door to see the scene outside, the corners of Jia Xin's mouth smiled slightly.
After the wooden door, it is really no longer a sacrifice world, but an abandoned warehouse with an area of no more than 1,000 square meters, in the very center of the warehouse. A time passage that can accommodate a person's size is floating very steadily.
"Congratulations to everyone present for the final level of this 'Game of Death', and you can now return to 2008. Then go home happily to welcome the Spring Festival, and thank you faithfully for your participation in this death game. The passage will last for a maximum of five minutes, so please pay attention."
A shrill voice echoed in everyone's minds.
Everyone first re-injected the appearance change injection into their body, and changed back to their previous appearance.
"It's indeed a time portal to 2008. In terms of particle effects and scale, it looks exactly like the time passage we experienced in the center of Dujiang. Do you want to go in?" Jia Xin asked.
"Senior Brother Jia Xin shouldn't be able to see the Joker's intentions, right?" Zhan Yun said on the side.
"It's really hard to play chess now. If we choose not to go in, we will be trapped in 1834 forever, unless one of us who is well versed in time carves a time portal back to 2008 on our own, which is obviously very unlikely. But if we go back to 2008 in the time portal given by the clown, we will be separated in the same way that we entered the year 1834."
"The most important thing is that the Joker should be able to assign us back to the position we had in 2008. The end is bound to be to separate us from Zhang Chen, and Zhang Chen, you will be alone in the clown body, and it is very likely that you will be at a disadvantage in the beginning."
"We ...... Can't we go into the time portal together?" Insect Firefly hears about Zhang Chen's dangerous situation. With a thump in his heart, he hurriedly asked.
"No, a one-person time channel. If you hold hands and enter back and forth, you will still be separated. Unless ......"
"Unless, like Nirvana, I can lurk in my body, right, I can too." As she spoke, her hands began to slowly disintegrate into small flying insects.
"Fireflies, you...... You better not come with me, it's too dangerous. Your strength depends entirely on the ghost worm in your body. And the body is extremely loaded. Just let Nirvana follow me, it's too dangerous for you to go over."
"But... But. I ......" Worm Firefly's little face became a little ruddy, and indeed as Zhang Chen said, Worm Firefly's greatest strength basically depends on the snake.
"Zhang Chen cooperates with this high-level ghost worm, and in extreme cases, he should be able to hold out for a while. Senior Brother Zhan Yun, leave a mark, the promise I made to you before will definitely be fulfilled."
Zhan Yun smiled slightly and made an 'ok' gesture, "This Brother Zhang Chen, please let go of your body's external defense, I will leave a mark in the depths of your body that only my Heavenly Eye can track, and there will be no harm to your body."
Zhang Chen saw Jia Xin nodded, so he let go of his body's defenses. Zhan Yun's third eye was just a quick one-and-one closure.
"Okay?" Zhang Chen checked his body once, and did not find any so-called imprinted foreign objects at all.
"The sigil can only be detected by my heavenly eye, and if it is too obvious, the clown will inevitably cut us off. When I arrive in 2008, I will immediately meet with Senior Brother Jia Xin and everyone present and rush to your location as soon as possible." Zhan Yun said in a righteous voice, without the slightest trace of disguise.
"Little Nirvana, let's go."
"Yes master." A touch of red light instantly penetrated into his right chest, and Zhang Chen stepped into the time channel first...... (To be continued)
