Chapter 171: The Shrinking Room
Qin Fei didn't jump down the tunnel in a hurry.
Because the fire in the previous room didn't seem to have spread to the demon room. Therefore, Qin Fei planned to wait in this room for a while.
No matter how slow the flow of time is, this mission only needs to stay for 24 hours.
As long as Qin Fei dragged on in each room for as long as possible, the probability of him completing the task early would be greatly increased.
He and Xie Nanai stayed in this room for nearly half a day.
As time passed, some red mist began to appear in this demonic room.
These mist should be the same gas as the ones Qin Fei had seen in the leader's room before.
There weren't any monsters in the red mist, but as the fog grew, visibility in the room began to get lower and lower.
Over time, the concentration of red mist increases.
It wasn't until the four corners of the room, when they became completely invisible due to the increase in this red mist, that a transparent glass box suddenly appeared in the very center of the room.
Through the glass on the surface of the chest, it can be seen that a short sword with a rainbow of light is placed in the chest.
That's right, the short sword in this box not only has its color, but also glows.... As you can guess at a glance, the short sword in this box is definitely a super powerful weapon.
However, Qin Fei couldn't open the glass box.
Because there is an iron lock hanging on the surface of this box, and at the same time, there is a string of numbers '9999' written on the iron lock.
With each passing second, the number on the lock decreases by 2 points.
In other words, it takes about an hour for the number '9999' on the lock to reach the value of '0'.
After Qin Fei saw this box, his face showed a look of vigilance.... Because in the game "The Combination of Isaac", there is no such glass chest.
Xie Nanai looked at the iron lock on the glass box and said strangely: "What does the number on this mean?" ”
"I reckon the lock will open when it reaches zero."
Qin Fei analyzed, but after thinking about it, he added: "But it is also possible that when the time comes, this lock will explode." ”
"Huh?"
Xie Nana blinked her eyes and wondered, "Wouldn't it?" ”
"It's hard to say...."
But why should I honestly wait for the countdown to end?
Qin Fei looked at this box, and an idea suddenly popped up in his heart: Now that I'm not really playing a game, I can completely destroy this glass box directly!
Unlock?
I'll open the hammer lock!
After thinking of this, Qin Fei directly took out a hammer from his backpack and slammed it towards the glass box in front of him.
'Phew'!
The hammer slammed into the glass box, and at the same time, the entire hammer shattered into two pieces.
The glass box was not damaged in any way.
No way?
Qin Fei was a little dumbfounded.
With Qin Fei's current strength, the hammer was cracked, but there was not even a single crack on the glass box in front of him.
This is completely counterintuitive.
Seeing that the glass on the surface of this box could not be destroyed, Qin Fei took out the laser cutter from the 'Deep Trek' world from his backpack again.
He was going to see if he could burn the locks off.
[Laser cutter: A cutting device that can penetrate standard titanium doors. 】
This prop is said to be a 'cutter', but in fact it is just using high temperature to destroy the molecular structure of the surface of the object.
Qin Fei aimed the muzzle of the cutter at the black lock and pulled the trigger.
In an instant, an extremely dazzling light erupted from the muzzle of the gun.
But after Qin Fei roasted for nearly ten minutes, the entire lock still didn't have the slightest reaction.
Normally, the surface of iron will turn red after being heated at high temperatures, but this iron lock has not even changed its color, let alone being burned off.
Shouldn't it?
Qin Fei closed the cutter and stared at the lock in front of him for a while.... After a few seconds, he reached for his finger and pressed it to the lock.
Qin Fei's fingers had a cold feeling.
Cool?
Qin Fei's face showed a look of shock.
This lock can't be heated?
No matter how hard the glass is, there will definitely be cracks after being hammered.... It is almost common sense that even the best quality steel will change color and become hot when heated.
But why is this basic common-sense knowledge not applicable in this world?
After discovering that the glass box could not be opened, Qin Fei planned to wait in this room.
After all, the shortsword in the box, which looked very gorgeous on the outside, definitely possessed a lot of power and was worth the wait.
An hour passed quickly.
But what Qin Fei and Xie Nanai didn't expect was that the value on the surface of the iron lock, after dropping from '9999' to '0', actually returned to '9999' in the next second.
Depend on!
Qin Fei scolded angrily in his heart.
Is this playing with me?
Shouldn't it be normal that when the time countdown is over, the lock will be automatically opened, and the equipment inside can be removed?
This countdown has changed from '0' to '9999', what does it mean?
But Qin Fei was still very patient.
In order to get the equipment in the box, Qin Fei decided to wait one more time.
At the same time, as the concentration of red mist in the room became more and more concentrated, in order to make sure that there were no monsters hidden in these red mist, Qin Fei began to wander around the room.
A moment later, when Qin Fei walked in front of the satanic statue in the room, he suddenly lowered his head, frowned, and said, "Something is wrong...."
"Huh?"
There was something strange about Xenaina.
Qin Fei's face was solemn, he turned around and walked from the statue of Satan to the entrance of the demon room that had disappeared.
Then, repeating his movements, he walked back from the entrance to the bottom of the statue.
After completing the journey, Qin Fei said to Xie Nanai: "We have to go immediately...."
"Huh?"
Xie Nanai was a little puzzled, she looked at the colorful short sword in the glass box, and said strangely: "You don't want this sword?" ”
"That sword is a decoy," Qin Fei reminded, "Have you noticed.... Is the house getting smaller? ”
……
It turned out that after Qin Fei entered the demon room, when he walked from the entrance to the bottom of the statue of Satan, the last step he took should be his left foot.
But when Qin Fei walked under the statue from the entrance at this moment, the last step was his right foot.
There are only two reasons for this: either the position of Satan's statue is changing, or the total area of the demon's room has changed!
And since Qin Fei entered this demon room, the statue of Satan has always been in the center of the room, which is still very easy to confirm.
Therefore, Qin Fei speculated that the reason for the change in his step count was definitely because the total area of the room was constantly decreasing!
