Chapter 20 Getting Out of Trouble

Although he came up with seemingly useful arguments, Luo Yifan still had many unclear points, such as the problem of the door. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

From just now to now, Luo Yifan's eyes have been searching for the disappeared door, which is the small wooden door that separates the two large and small doors in the secret room.

If the partition wall is really a paper wall, as he said, that can easily disappear, then what about the door? Because the door frame was relatively small, when they entered the door just now, they had accidentally touched the door, and it was indeed made of wood, and it could not disappear in the blink of an eye.

There was no trace of the door everywhere on the ground, and Luo Yifan was puzzled.

While exchanging ideas with Jiang Xinglong, Luo Yifan reached out and touched the wall next to him. Unconsciously muttered out of his mouth: "There is no living mouth......"

"What?" Jiang Xinglong was stunned.

In this situation, Luo Yifan felt that he should know everything about this only companion no matter what, so he said:

"It's the door, don't you notice? Even if the walls could disappear, where did the doors go? You and I have just touched the small door here, it is indeed wooden, and it is impossible to fake it. But look, is there a trace of a door in this secret room? ”

"Yes......" After Luo Yifan mentioned it, Jiang Xinglong raised his eyes and looked around, and he also felt very strange.

"Could it be that the door has shrunk into the wall, you were just confirming this, right?" Jiang Xinglong asked.

"No way. You know I've just looked at this door, and it's not close to the wall on the side of it, and there's not a trace of it there's any sign of it alive. Take 10,000 steps back, even if you really retract into the wall, there is a protruding anti-theft lock on the door, and it is impossible to enter the wall without a sound. ”

"So, maybe they fell into the secret door with the four people who were captured by the murderer, and you think, if the four people disappear together, even if there is no screaming, it is impossible not to have a sound, right? Yes, if the murderer has a way to make them disappear without being aware of it, then there must be a way to make the door disappear as well. ”

Luo Yifan shook his head slightly, although what Jiang Xinglong said had a certain truth, he still couldn't let go of this.

Looking up at the ceiling, the ceiling was dark and blurry in the dim interior, and the colors were indistinguishable.

Suddenly, he had a whim and said, "If you stand on the refrigerator, can you touch the ceiling?" ”

"Uh......" Jiang Xinglong looked back and forth, and said, "Maybe." ”

Luo Yifan immediately walked towards the refrigerator where Bian Benyi had sat just now.

Jiang Xinglong reminded him behind his back: "Be careful, don't touch the bomb!" ”

"I will."

Time has passed minute by minute, and it would definitely be a lie for Luo Yifan to say that he was not in a hurry at this moment.

He walked through the room in three steps and two steps, came to the refrigerator, put his hands on either side of the refrigerator, and after a few seconds of confirmation, began to slowly move the square object in his hand.

"Boom, boomβ€”" A strange sound came from under the refrigerator, like rusting iron axles.

"Whoa...... Boom...... "The person moving the refrigerator slowed down.

Luo Yifan seemed to sense something, and he listened carefully to the voice-

Suddenly, Luo Yifan felt a pull, he suddenly stopped the movement in his hand, let go of the refrigerator, and the whole person took several steps backwards, as if frightened.

"What's wrong?!" Jiang Xinglong hurriedly held his shoulder.

"What a sinister murderer! We almost died. Luo Yifan paused for a few seconds, and after making sure that nothing had happened, he said through gritted teeth.

"What's going on?!" Jiang Xinglong couldn't figure out the situation for a while, so he could only look at Luo Yifan.

"The killer trapped us here, and we must have expected us to check everything, including the rooftops, in order to escape. So he did something on the fridge, and I almost got hit just now. ”

"What the hell is going on?" Jiang Xinglong was anxious, "Don't go around in circles, time is running out." ”

"Go and see if one of the refrigerators with bombs is approaching the wall."

Jiang Xinglong couldn't wait to walk over, and sure enough, the refrigerator adjacent to the refrigerator that Luo Yifan was dragging was much closer to the wall, and the black package behind it was almost pasted to the wall.

"Do you remember what the murderer said?" Luo Yifan asked.

"Remember, the murderer said that this time bomb cannot be hit, and only a slight impact will ......"

"Yes, the implication is that it will explode, and it is a hint, hateful." The anger in Luo Yifan's heart cannot be expressed in words.

"There's still ...... here Chains? It's been straightened, even between the one you're moving and this one. "Jiang Xinglong has discovered an anomaly." But, no, if it's connected, this refrigerator will only be pulled farther and farther away by you, how can it be so close to the wall?! ”

"And the chains are painted red, how can you ......?" Suddenly, Jiang Xinglong realized something, and turned his eyes to the floor, which was ...... in the dim light Gray.

"You see, I can't see the chains at all, and I don't even pay attention when I move slowly, and it's not an exaggeration to say that I can't see at all. It's terrible, why does this murderer know me so well, even he knows what only my parents know, who is he?! This seemed to disrupt Luo Yifan's confident inference all along, and he was overwhelmed.

"The bottom of the adjacent refrigerator is definitely not an ordinary tire, if I am not mistaken, it should be the same tire as the pull back car, and the size and power are not comparable to toy cars."

"You haven't seen it, how do you know?" Jiang Xinglong asked.

"It's a feeling, I used to buy a lot of pull-back cars for a certain child, and I played with him many times, and it was his favorite."

"Your child? How could you ......"

"That's ......" Realizing that he was off topic, Luo Yifan hurriedly stopped. He walked quickly to Jiang Xinglong's side, leaned over to the ground to look at the bottom of the refrigerator near the wall.

After a while, Luo Yifan stood up and said with certainty: "That's right, and it was obviously removed from the previous tire and installed, and it looks very new." ”

"Where does that chain come from?" Luo Yifan asked.

Jiang Xinglong pointed to the ground and said, "It extends from the bottom." ”

"Such a cunning murderer, he kept the chains at the bottom of the refrigerator so that no one but me could not easily find out. One end of the chain should be attached to the axle, and the other end should be attached to the back of the refrigerator that has not been bombed.

"When we first discovered these refrigerators just now, the two refrigerators here were not parallel, but staggered one after the other, and it was impossible to find the iron chain at the bottom of them, and then the Bian Benyi couple inadvertently touched the refrigerator, but it moved in the direction of the wall, and the distance was short and the chain would not be straightened, so it would not move the refrigerator next to it."

"And at that time, our attention was so focused on the broken walls that we wouldn't notice even if the chains were a little exposed. Later, you and I moved the bomb-free refrigerator to the front of the refrigerator next to it, and we just studied the walls, am I not mistaken? ”

"That's right." Jiang Xinglong replied.

"The killer was gambling on our luck, and the reason he made a noise from the roof was to lure us to check the ceiling so that we would think of using the only refrigerator without bombs as a stepping stone. If someone other than me pulls the refrigerator and finds the chain or even cracks the mechanism, the murderer has done a little useless work at most, and he has nothing to lose. ”

"But if it's a refrigerator that I'm pulling, once I pull the refrigerator with the bomb attached to it, and then stop, the pull back tires will immediately start, quickly dragging the two refrigerators together and crashing into the wall, as long as the slightest touch, we will be wiped out."

Luo Yifan's words made Jiang Xinglong instantly break out in a cold sweat, he felt that this murderer was not a human, but a cruel and vicious devil.

"However, we were lucky that we didn't go as the killer wanted." Jiang Xinglong said: "What next? ”

"The refrigerator can't be touched anymore, so you stand on my shoulder and fumble for the ceiling." Luo Yifan walked to the position of the door just now and squatted down.

"Are you okay?"

The two of them were about the same size, and Jiang Xinglong was afraid that Luo Yifan would not be able to bear it.

"It's okay, come on." Luo Yifan supported his knees with his hands and said with certainty.

In fact, Luo Yifan's physical strength was almost overdrawn, and when Jiang Xinglong stood on his shoulder, his legs trembled, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

Jiang Xinglong stretched his hand upward, but before he could touch the ceiling, something blocked him.

When he looked closely, it was a black stone-like thing. Instinctively press hard upwards

There was a 'click' sound, like turning on a switch.

Then there was another continuous sound of 'click-la-la'.

Jiang Xinglong immediately got off Luo Yifan's shoulder, and the four eyes of the two of them looked in one direction at the same time-

The sound came from somewhere inside the wall of the 'clone', accompanied by the fact that the wall was no longer backlit and no longer dazzling, and this switch turned off a set of lights in the wall facing outward, making the colors in the transparent wall clearer and darker the room.

"What a good plan!" Luo Yifan sneered and said: "This murderer is really a master of the 'game', if we are unlucky, we will die without a whole body; if we are lucky and find a way to touch the ceiling, we will find this switch and see clearly the law of red and green shades in the wall." ”

"It's like treating a beast, if you can't do it well, raise your whip and give a little sweetness...... Jiang Xinglong also narrowed his eyes: "It seems that the god of luck is on our side, and the decision on who will kill the deer has not yet been decided." ”

Without further delay, Jiang Xinglong immediately refocused his attention on the wall, and Luo Yifan immediately took action, but he was looking for something else.

Because of the sound, there will be no 'click' sound when the lights are turned off, and something else must have changed.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

In the dark

In the space of 1.8 meters long, 1.5 meters wide, and 0.6 meters high, a black shadow lies quietly, full of tragic traces.

There is no baffle on one side of the space, revealing a long black and steep ladder that stretches out into an uninvisible, unknown place.

Another emaciated shadow seemed to come up from the bottom of the ladder, his hands clasped around the immobile body, desperately moving his body into the confined space.

The emaciated shadow struggled to move, panting heavily, and could only move a little bit each time, as if it was badly injured.

Finally moved into most of the body, only the calves and feet hung outside, and the shadow stopped and rested for a while.

During this time, he slowly raised his head, revealing a face that had been facing downwards.

The shadow's face was so swollen that he couldn't see his true face clearly, his face was bruised, and one eye was probably blind, and blood was constantly dripping; The other eye is not much better, swollen and high, and it can't be opened at all.

Perhaps it was because of this that he could not see the more terrifying shell beneath his body.

When the thin shadow is ready to move again.

Suddenlyβ€”

The sound of 'click-la-la' sounded.

He instantly became extremely frightened, and before he could figure out what was happening, he felt a pain in his calf, which was still outside the space.

Behind him, the entrance to the staircase, which had appeared to have no baffles, was now being lowered by a thin plank that was tightly fitted, and it was not slow.

The plank flickered with cold light at one end of the shadow's calf, which had now cut into the calf of the seriously injured.

The shadow moved desperately, its mouth wide open and silently calling for help, but it was already too late.

As the plank slammed shut, Shadow's legs immediately swam bloody.

A hoarse, twisted voice finally came from the shadow's throat, and everything returned to silence, the shadow as silent as the shell beneath him.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

The walls barely changed, and Luo Yifan leaned down to search the floor. The location is in the small room at the entrance of the passage when you first enter

He didn't know what he was looking for, he just thought the sound was coming from here.

The ground was covered with freshly fallen wall mud and confetti, and Luo Yifan seemed to smell a faint smell.

It stinks, like ...... The smell of corpses outside is the same,

But when he stood up, he couldn't smell it immediately, so he kept lying on the ground and smelling it, trying to find the source of the smell.

At this moment, Jiang Xinglong's excited voice came: "Luo Yifan! Come and see, I've figured it out! ”

Luo Yifan hurriedly got up from the ground and asked, "What is it?" ”

"Look, I just said that based on the refrigerator, the left is nine light green walls from the east wall to the north wall, and the right side is from the south wall to the west wall plus the north wall, for a total of eight light red walls."

"This doesn't include the three walls directly behind the refrigerators, which have no light and no color after the backlights are turned off. So, that adds up to a total of twenty walls, five on each side. ”

"Because the walls are so evenly divided, I did an experiment and it turned out that we seemed to have been tricked by the murderer again......."

"How?"

"Now close your eyes and take a closer look at these walls." Jiang Xinglong said.

Luo Yifan was very puzzled, but he still did as Jiang Xinglong said, he closed his eyes and started to follow Jiang Xinglong's guidance from the right side of the refrigerator and groped the wall little by little.

When he touched the south wall, the west wall and the north wall, Luo Yifan's movements stopped suddenly, and he suddenly looked at Jiang Xinglong with wide eyes.

"How's it going, did you find out?"

"I see, I was fooled again." Luo Yifan understood what Jiang Xinglong meant.

Jiang Xinglong continued: "This is a mechanism formed by optical illusion, although the two rooms are really merged, but the surrounding walls have not changed, this room has always been square. ”

"Not only is the color of this wall formed by reflected light, but even all the corners are formed by reflected light, and from a visual point of view, it is absolutely fake, as long as you don't close your eyes and feel around the wall as you do now, you can't find the mystery in it. Because as long as the eye looks, the mind will have a preconceived idea that the wall has become polygonal. ”

"And getting rid of all the wall plaster, wallpaper, just to cover up the collapsed partition wall."

"So the complex code full of various elements here, the dazzling backlight, and the murderer's deliberate hint of the 'Wall Clone Technique' are all to make us believe in this 'mirage' even more, so that we can't find the real exit, right?" Luo Yifan interface.

"I think so too," Jiang Xinglong nodded affirmatively, and said, "If you extrapolate like this, then you are right just now, the small mechanism that the murderer set up on that refrigerator and almost killed the two of us is gambling on our lives." ”

"One more thing," said Luo Yifan, "the murderer should have planned from the beginning that there were only two of us left here: first, the abduction of our beloved would make us more panicked and increase the chance of triggering the bomb." ”

"Two, it's much easier to kill the two of us first, and then deal with the rest. Three, 80 percent mortality versus 20 percent survival to our luck. ”

"Why is the mortality rate 80 percent, and the mortality survival rate at the normal rate 50 percent each?" Jiang Xinglong asked.

"Normally, it's half and 50 percent, but if you add 10 percent panic, 10 percent of the influence of walls and lights, and 10 percent of the negligence caused by obsessing with answering the code, it's 80 percent mortality." Luo Yifan said calmly.

At this moment, the two seem to have found the right direction, and they are full of confidence.

Jiang Xinglong continued what he left unfinished: "We took the five walls we saw as a group, exactly five pieces of each of the four walls, to form a square room, and the refrigerator was located at the corner of the south wall and the east wall, so that we could easily tell where each wall was from where it went. ”

"However, although the 'wall clone technique' is deceptive, there is a pattern to the colors in it. All the darker colors are concentrated on the east and west walls, only two of the south walls have a faint red, and the north wall is surprisingly uniform in color, and there is no difference between shades and shades at all. ”

The two men talked as they moved. Their footsteps approached the north wall, where something seemed to be changing.

Jiang Xinglong continued: "I feel that only the color in the north wall is not caused by reflected light, but the luminescent color that is really being painted inside. Except for the westernmost part of the north wall, which is light red, the other four are very light green, and ......?!! ”

β€œοΌοΌοΌ ……”

The two men approached the north wall and leaned down, ready to take a closer look at the four light green walls on the north wall.

saw an amazing scene, and the voice stopped abruptly in an instant-

Luo Yifan and Jiang Xinglong forgot to close their mouths, and looked at the scene in front of them with wide eyes in disbelief-
