Chapter 2: Mutations

Lin Kun stretched and glanced at the lock on his foot, judging from the current situation, he still needed a four-digit password.

Obviously, now only the basic logical reasoning ability is tested, and the real problem should be later.

The code to unlock the handcuffs is on hand-related items, and the code to untie the leg cuffs is naturally on leg-related items.

At present, the items that meet this requirement are the fourth floor of the display case on the left, and the fifth floor of the display case on the right, each with a shoe.

Two shoes, one for the left foot and one for the right foot, come in different sizes and colors.

Lin Kun visually inspected that one of them should be only 30 yards, and the other was estimated to be 40 yards.

Enter 3040 on the leg cuffs, and with a "click", the lock cuffs automatically pop open, and he finally regains his freedom.

This puzzle is so simple, Lin Kun knows that most of them have pits.

Sure enough, after he regained his freedom, there was a "drip...... Drip...... drip".

He lifted the iron stool and saw that under the cushion, there was something like a counter, and it was counting down.

115…… 114…… 113……

Although this thing can't be a real bomb, once the time limit is reached, if Lin Kun hasn't escaped from here, most of them will be judged to be eliminated.

In other words, within two minutes after he regained his freedom, he didn't find a way to get out of here, and his registration fee of 10,000 yuan would have to be wasted.

Lin Kun went straight to the only exit, the heavy iron door was locked, it was impossible to break it by brute force, but there was a keyhole on it.

Obviously, if you find the key, you can get out of here......

He walked around the cramped room, and unexpectedly, he found no clues, and the minutes and seconds passed.

60…… 59…… 58……

Lin Kun walked around the room again, and after confirming that he had not missed anything, he fixed his eyes on the timer-like "bomb".

Excluding all impossibilities, what remains is the truth......

With a calm expression, he forcibly ripped the "bomb" from under the cushion, and sure enough, there was a groove under the bomb, and a key was embedded in it.

This puzzle is a test of courage.

Even if the candidates know that this "bomb" is fake, they will never dare to touch it easily.

After all, it's highly likely that the person who designed the puzzle has buried a pit in it, and it may speed up the flow of time or explode directly at the touch of it.

This consequence is not something that ordinary candidates can easily accept, so in the eyes of most candidates, there is no difference between this fake "bomb" and the real bomb.

But if you want to become a qualified detective, the most indispensable thing is courage, the courage to fight criminals and hover on the edge of life and death!

Taking out the key, Lin Kun glanced at the time, and with half a minute left, he leisurely opened the iron door.

"Squeak~quack!"

The sound of the door opening was unusually dull, and outside was a long hallway, empty.

Lin Kun walked straight forward, after walking for about ten meters, he suddenly raised his feet high, stepped into the void, and then continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened.

At the place where he stepped over, there was an almost transparent silk thread, and once he accidentally stepped on it, the consequences would not be much to say.

This time it was a test of prudence and meticulous observation, and the puzzles were really good and full of discipline, but for him, it was far from difficult.

At the end of the corridor, there was another iron door, which was hidden and looked like it could be pushed open at any time.

Lin Kun hunched over, leaned close to his head, and looked at the gap between the iron door and the door frame, there was a transparent silk thread with a length of about one centimeter, and people with poor eyesight probably couldn't see it at all.

"Boring."

Shaking his head with a smile, Lin Kun stepped back a few meters, took off a shoe, and smashed the iron door.

With a soft sound of "boom", a large amount of white powder was sprayed on both sides of the door, presumably as long as it was sprayed, it would be counted as elimination.

When the powder had cleared, he stepped forward, put on his shoes without hesitation, and walked in the door.

At the same time, in a room in another place, two middle-aged men and an elderly man were leaning back on their seats, leisurely staring at the big screen in front of them.

On the big screen, Lin Kun's every move was being monitored.

Obviously, these three people are Lin Kun's mentors for this assessment.

"What the hell is this man coming from?" One of the middle-aged men wearing glasses had a bit of surprise in his eyes, "The puzzle we designed seems to be a little too simple for him. ”

"His name is Lin Kun, and he has solved two serious cases at a young age, and he does have some skills." A balding middle-aged man next to him said.

"I don't think it's necessary to take the test anymore, I've seen the two cases he solved, anyway, I'm ashamed of myself, the puzzles we designed can't stop him at all." The old man on the other side had a smile on his face that couldn't hide his appreciation, "However, this light and breezy demeanor doesn't seem to be what a 21-year-old young man can have at all, but more like a detective who has solved countless cases and has a deep heart." ”

"You mean we're going to give him a pass?" The middle-aged man with glasses hesitated, "This is a bit inappropriate, right?" ”

"Nothing out of place." The old man smiled and nodded, "With his ability, it is more than enough to take a detective certificate, and it is just a waste of time to continue the assessment."

I don't want to see our elaborate puzzle solved by this young man, whose self-esteem as an old man can't stand it. ”

"Anyway, I won't give him a pass now, he obviously didn't pay attention to the puzzle we designed, so arrogant, maybe there will be a major mistake and be eliminated later." The bald man looked a little stereotypical, "and ......"

Before he finished speaking, with a "click", his head was turned to an incredible angle, his eyes burst out, his face was a little dazed and incredulous, and he died on the spot!

The other two heard the voice, turned their heads, and when they saw this scene, they were stunned at first, and then turned into horror.

Immediately after, before the two could scream or call for help, their eyes went dark.

"Poof~"

Plasma mucus sprayed all over the ground, and the whole room was filled with a strong smell of blood.

From beginning to end, the three of them didn't see any figures, and they all died tragically in such an unknown way!

Even if they all have the mind of an ordinary detective, they probably will never understand what is going on after they die?

After a while, there was one more person in the room, who ignored the three miserable corpses, didn't even take a second look, and his dark eyes were all focused on Lin Kun on the big screen.

A sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he muttered to himself: "I'm sorry, I've been a little busy lately, and I'm late......"
