Chapter 17, Decryption of the Secret Room
Anne was like a bullied child, squatting in the corner, quietly holding her legs. His eyes were faintly red, as if he had just cried. And the black thirteen standing next to him looked like that kind of irresponsible responsible man.
"This thing can be used as a murder weapon, with a high mass density and a weight of almost half a kilogram, which can be used as fitness equipment." Black Thirteen wants to alleviate the current pain in the egg a little. However, Anne didn't seem to hear Black Thirteen's humor at all, staring blankly at the ground, completely unaware of what she was thinking.
Black Thirteen also blamed himself for the current situation, and just now he should have thought that Anne could not ask for the highest difficulty. This kind of thing can be understood by thinking about it a little bit, but the real ghost is confused. I thought about whether it was appropriate for two people to increase a little trust, and then I chose S difficulty without asking. If it's usual, forget it. But the Rubik's Cube?
Black Thirteen put down the Rubik's Cube, quietly took out his cigarette and lit one and smoked it.
"When I was a child, I played with the third-order Rubik's Cube, and in the end, it took less than an hour to restore it, and I thought I was very good at the time." It goes without saying that Black Thirteen is also very hard, how can he be the least good at it.
"We ...... Will they die here? That's right...... Can you stop smoking? There are no ventilation ducts in this room, and smoking accelerates the aging of the skin......" Seeing that Black Thirteen seemed to give up resisting, Anne squatted on the ground aggrievedly and didn't want to move at all. It's really bad luck today, although I am also responsible for the difficulty that Black Thirteen chose two people that there is no way to solve, and it would be nice if I said it more clearly at that time. Anne thought so, but she was still a little dissatisfied with him! Why is this big man so careless, can't he ask a few more times like a gentleman when there is a lady next to him?
"Oils and cosmetics are more harmful to the skin than smoke, and the forehead ...... Well, you don't have to be too discouraged. If you're frustrated enough, cheer up and stand up, Anne, I think we still have a chance, at least a fifty percent chance of survival. Well...... I have a bold idea, you can come over a little bit. Black Thirteen extinguished the cigarette butt and looked at the countdown, there was still 1 minute. Even if he can solve this Rubik's Cube, it will be too late, and Black Thirteen didn't plan to start with the Rubik's Cube in the first place. If the time is not limited, then Black Thirteen is sure that he can find a way to crack the Rubik's Cube even without food and drink, but the time limit of ten minutes is still calculated after thinking about it, mathematics is not what he is good at.
Listening to what Black Thirteen said, Anne wiped her tears and stood up and walked to his side.
"What do you want to do? Let me tell you, even if you have 1 minute to die, don't try to do anything strange to me, otherwise I will fight with you, mother. Anne sobbed and rubbed her reddened eyes as she walked over, apparently not threatening at all.
"Can you be normal with the thoughts in your head? All right...... Actually, if you think about it, we still have a good chance, huh...... We'll survive until you get your favorite diamond. The black thirteen, who was still about to be counted, looked at Anne and looked like she was about to cry again, and hurriedly changed her words.
"To be clear, I never said I liked diamonds! But...... What you just said is true? It's really not the kind of ...... 'your boobs will grow later.' 'Or something like that? ”
"So your brain circuits are really terrifying, forget it, that's not the point...... Remember the prompt when you enter the door? Black Thirteen said pointedly, the fear of death is far less than that of ordinary people, at least it is still possible to be fearless in the face of danger.
Despair before death? What's that? Do you think people who have no heart and no lungs will feel distressed?
Compared to death, not being able to continue to explore the secrets of this world is almost the same as a dead salted fish for Black Thirteen.
"The requirements are...... A difficulty must be chosen, and failure will trigger the trap of the clown trap room. So I can know that this room is probably within the clown's range of knowledge, and I know this without you reminding me. But...... Do you want to talk to him? Anne suddenly thought of this, and if she had to say that the only chance, Anne could only think of this.
Anne suddenly closed her eyes and took a long breath and spit it out, the choking of sobbing eased a lot. I originally had a strong personality, but I suddenly knew that I was going to die, so I couldn't accept it for a while, so my emotions were a little out of control. However, when I heard the King of Spades say that I still had a chance to survive, I quickly calmed down.
"Communication is a method, but I don't think the success rate is high. Remember the system you told you about earlier? It's the voice that speaks in your head. According to the previous calculations of the two of us, the clown and the system are not the same person, so there is a higher probability that this room is 'occupied' by the 'system'. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Mission Tips! Although the system didn't give us any information about the intelligence of this world, it actually gave us a great reminder. Our current room is the equivalent of a copy in the game. Isn't it strange that when we enter this room, the clown doesn't pay attention to us anymore? Leave the person who has been imprisoned and let him walk around the room at will? Seeing Anne nodding after listening, Black Thirteen took a breath and continued.
"That is, if we don't get out of this room, we don't really have any contact with the clown. It is equivalent to the fact that this room and the room outside are completely different world lines. Naturally, it is impossible for us to connect with people from another world. And there was one Black Thirteen who didn't say it, but he believed that Anne had figured it out when she said it.
"It's a possibility...... And although the clown said that he wanted us to repent, the clown never said that he had captured us. And even if we can communicate, we don't have any bargaining chips with him now, and the final result will not be very good. As for your previous raise, it's just a foundation that builds on what you already have. And now the clown didn't give us any orders at all, that is to say......" Anne glanced at the remaining time, 30 seconds, although she was extremely nervous, but she didn't show it in Black Thirteen, the more dangerous it was, the more she had to calm down.
"I don't know if you've ever thought about it, what is the purpose of the system putting together people like us who are thousands of kilometers away and completely unknown? Simply fun and kill? The odds are slim to none, even ghosts and gods won't be so boring, so every task in the system must have their purpose, just like QE and Angelie them. Let's say they're the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are responsible for what the 'systems' want to see them want us to do. So I don't think we're going to take it easily. Black Thirteen sniffed the smell in the air and couldn't help but take out his cigarette case again. Then Anne embarrassedly put the cigarette case back.
"Ahem...... That is, no matter what trouble we have, there will be a solution. Even if we don't know the Rubik's Cube at all, there is actually a solution. It's just that I didn't think of it for the first time, if this level is a test of existing knowledge. Then the system will not take into account the possibility that we will not be able to solve this problem, so even if it fails, it should give us a vague way to escape through our current situation. Of course, this is just speculation, and the final result is uncertain.
So Black Thirteen worked hard to analyze, and finally came to the conclusion that 'the system will not let itself die meaninglessly', although this is just a word of comfort to Anne, but this kind of comfort is the most likely.
"What do you mean?" Anne tried her best to parse what Black Thirteen said, and she could understand every word, but her mind was a little messed up when they were connected.
There was the sound of something being turned on behind him, and then the countdown on the table changed from new to 10 minutes, and then he started walking.
Black Thirteen smiled and pointed to the thing that slipped out of the window and said, "This is a glimmer of life." "You guessed it! But what exactly do the 'systems' of this world want to do? Is it just for us to travel here, and then experience something strange and then go back to our original world?
System: Joker's trap room is triggered, and there are ten minutes left before the explosion. Complete the decryption and escape to receive the S-evaluation reward.
A few common objects come out of the window.
A scale, a relatively large glass container seems to be connected to the balance on the left with several wires, and a capacitor is attached to the back of the glass container, which seems to be used to detect something. On the right side of the balance scale, there is something similar to a combination lock, only a simple 0~9 ten digits, which looks like a number is to be entered. There's also a locked toy box underneath and a battery, so it's completely unknown what they're used for.
However, Black Thirteen still heard a little tired, and this time the system prompt still did not appear words such as death if it failed, but only proposed that it would explode. Sure enough, there should be hidden props in the plastic sheeting or other places in the first room that I didn't find, right?
"What is this?" Looking at the objects in front of her, Anne guessed what should have been taken out of the box and put it in the glass container, but how to use these things? Not to mention the combination lock, how can this box be unlocked without a key? But there's no key in it!
"The trap of this trap room is probably decryption?" Black Thirteen blinked, although there was no expression on his face because he was a little confused. However, after making sure that it was really decrypted, it was almost a laugh.
"Decryption? That's true, we still have 9 minutes and 30 seconds, hurry up and think about how to solve this level. Anne breathed a sigh of relief as she ran back from the brink of death, but this time it became more difficult. The Rubik's Cube may have a formula and can be cracked, but you can't find the right way to decipher this thing, and you can't solve it in a lifetime. And the time was less than 9 minutes, and Anne was a little anxious.
"King of Spades, do you have any clue?" There were seven minutes left, and Anne had guessed a little. Then looking at Black Thirteen, he was so keenly observant, he should have thought of something.
"Well, the most important thing in the puzzle game is to try more, anyway, if you can't solve it when the time comes, you'll die, so hurry up and try it during this time." I simply took a few things in my hand and looked around, and the only thing I found was the combination lock that could enter numbers.
"The combination lock can enter a total of nine digits, if you want to try randomly, it is estimated that we may not be able to try it out in a hundred years, and the answer can only be found in the remaining objects. However, there is a round hole next to this combination lock that can be inserted into it, and I guess the focus of decryption is here. Black Thirteen looked at the computer-like thing and said, but the computer was fixed on the scale, and there was no possibility of removing it if there were no tools, so Black Thirteen could only start from what was around him.
"Of course, I also found this little hole, but where can I find something so thin to put in it? And nothing applies here. Anne glanced at the few items that came out of the window, a little worried. Decryption is really not what I am good at, and there is no supporting thing here at all, could it be that we deliberately made a dead end and let us die here, right?
Wrong...... There is no point in doing that...... The system will not allow us to face this mortal situation, and the solution must be in it. So how do you crack this level? Unconsciously, Anne's way of thinking became somewhat similar to that of Black Thirteen. Preconceived notions, based on hypothetical enemies, to interpret the answer from the other person's point of view.
"So I thought about the previous sentence, and if you crack it, you will get an S evaluation. So the only thing related to the S evaluation here is just the Rubik's Cube I have been exposed to before, so ......" Black Thirteen lifted the eleventh-order Rubik's Cube and looked at the edges and corners of the table. Anne understood Black Thirteen's movements and hurriedly retreated behind him to prevent being smashed by the Rubik's Cube.
There was a dull thud with a bang, and the eleventh-order Rubik's Cube was smashed into hundreds of small cubes, and a silver shiny thing fell out of it.
Sure enough, there is! Black Thirteen picked up the thing excitedly and couldn't help frowning. It's flat, with a groove in the middle, a lot like the kind of switch that fits on a faucet, but how do you use it? Black Thirteen smiled indifferently after thinking about it to no avail, isn't it just a puzzle, the more difficult it is, the more I like it!
"Didn't anyone tell you that you look a hundred times more disgusting when you laugh than when you don't? What do you think? Have you figured out how to use this thing? "Anne was convinced by Black Thirteen's discovery, but this thing obviously couldn't be used on that combination lock. And Anne glanced at the timer, exactly five minutes had passed, and the time had become a little short......
Indeed, although new items have been discovered, there has been no progress at all in decryption. Black Thirteen wondered what he had missed. Black Thirteen looked at the front of him calmly, and then closed his eyes.
Think about it and sort it out again everything you've seen.
A smashed, Rubik's cube on the table, inside the faucet keychain.
A bottle of unused high-strength liquid alcohol.
A sturdy table.
An open window, scales, combination lock, glass container, toy box and battery.
First of all, the size of the battery can't enter the small hole next to the combination lock at all.,The size inside is about the same size as the faucet key port I just picked up.,So the things hidden in it should be able to be used together after taking them out.,Preliminary guess is that the combination is the key that can open the toy box.。
The most basic hint inside the toy box may be the code of the combination lock, or the role of the glass bottle. However, considering that the time limit is 10 minutes, it is most likely to tell us the password directly, followed by a hint of a glass container. However, there must be something to be put in the glass container, so let's put it aside for the time being.
The last battery, because there is no other tool, do not consider taking it apart, and then use the core inside to get the key out of the small hole on the right side of the electronic lock. But the battery must be used for something else here, maybe it has something to do with the contents of the box, a small mechanism that needs to be activated by the battery?
Then there is at least one prop in this room that I haven't found, a prop that can return the key in the electronic lock.
Black Thirteen snapped his eyes open, then glanced at Anne.
Anne, who was suddenly stared at by Black Thirteen, was so frightened that she hugged herself and took two steps back. Isn't this guy going to give up on treatment and want to do something to himself? I will never give up my resistance! Death will not be!
"Do you have that kind of ......" Black Thirteen thought for a moment, the only thing that could hide things in this room was the Rubik's Cube, although he found new props, but he didn't want it. So I guess Anne may have something like a hairpin, but maybe something specific isn't in this room, but is on her early morning. This is most likely our blind spot. After all, who would have thought that what was decrypted was actually on them early in the morning?
"No, get out!" Anne would have beaten him up if she could.
