Natsume coughed calmly: "After all, I'm your work teammate, although I don't usually communicate much, but I also know your nature, you are not the kind of person who will do evil." Since you are the holder of the token, there is a high probability that the view that the holder of the token is the murderer can be ruled out. ”

"But what if what you just said was nonsense...... Control isn't necessarily over, and my memories aren't all fully restored, maybe sooner—"

"Even then, it's not entirely your fault, you can go back even further - it's the real murderer who put the clock there and got it - you're not the culprit."

"Hmm......" My eyes moistened slightly.

Alice also chimed in: "Yes, I believe sister, such a gentle person will not be a bad person!" ”

"You ......" The man in the protective suit hesitated a little, and after a moment of doubt, he said disdainfully, "Whatever you want." But I don't trust it, and I'm always on the lookout. ”

I regained my composure, pulled myself together, and responded to Natsume's words, "Feel good, at least not as chaotic as it was just now." ”

"Then I'll untie you." Natsume approached me.

"No need." I just stood up and broke the rope that wrapped around my body.

The severed part was scratched, and in my left hand I was holding the piece of my own auxiliary prop, a fragment of meteorite.

A normal person should be able to see what I did during the conversation.

"It's in good shape." Natsume smiled indifferently.

I suddenly remembered the envelope that appeared last night after Kjab's death, and it was still in my bag.

I took it out and opened it to look at it.

Get two new pieces of information - there is an entrance to the treasure in the big house. The three tokens are placed on the torch platform before the treasure chest can be opened.

"Then let's find the last token as soon as possible! Find the treasure early, get rid early! ”

"But where will it be placed? I remember hearing that each token is placed on different floors of the big house, and now the tokens on the first and third floors have been cracked, and then there should only be the second floor left. ”

The man in the protective suit said: "I think the most troublesome thing is not the third token, but where is the entrance to the treasure......

At the same time, I happened to be reminded of the situation when I had just been controlled.

"One thing comes to mind. Maybe just now, when I was being controlled, my mental consciousness and the token merged—for a moment I intuitively felt the side effects of the token affecting the scope of the house. ”

I quickly took out a pen and paper from my bag and drew a rough diagram of the structure of the three floors.

As far as I can remember, draw a large circle due north on the third floor - this is the general range of the side effects of the clock.

Then, with the memory of the edge area of the "protective shield" that he bypassed when tracking the "Fake Natsume" the night before, he drew a large circle in the southwest position on the third floor - representing the general range of the effects of the Rubik's Cube's side effects.

Although the side effects of the Rubik's Cube even affect the small house next door, I believe that the circle indicates that the range of influence is not too wrong.

The circles on the first and third floors cross each other.

- As for the area of influence caused by the last token......

I thought of the overlapping three circles on the torch stand, looked at the sphere of influence of the first and second floors, and finally drew a general circle in the southeast of the second floor.

The three circles intersect with three overlapping sections, and a small triangle-like area is superimposed in the middle of the three overlapping regions.

After the drawing, I continued, "I think the last area where the token is stored is within the circle in the lower right corner. And where the three circles cross is the entrance to the treasure. ”

"It's unlikely, but it's better to take a gamble and look for these places!" I persuaded.

"I'm also guessing that if the Rubik's Cube affects space, the clock affects time," Alice suggested. Then those black creatures may have been affected by the third token! ”

Natsume said, "Let's do it, act now." ”

……

We immediately ran to the location of the token.

Finally found it in a room—the last item recorded in the book—an exorcism.

But on the way to the torch, he was attacked by many dark creatures.

This is no longer my hallucination, it is a real crisis.

In the midst of the crisis, a large fire suddenly swept in and intercepted the attack of the dark creatures.

The scorching flames seemed to engulf everything.

Out of the sea of fire came a man - this person is Hong Ying!

She was holding a gasoline canister in her hand and covered in wounds.

I looked at her in amazement: "How did you ......"

"Hurry up! What do you think I'm back here for? Hong Ying shouted impatiently.

We reacted immediately and ran towards the torch.

There were still a lot of dark creatures attacking along the way, causing Natsume and I to be forced to run away with the other two.

However, the token was successfully placed on the designated torch stand.

When we turned back, all the enemies were gone.

And soon after, Hongying successfully caught up with us.

She accidentally fell when she ran in front of me, and I quickly caught her.

"I'm sorry, I haven't had a good night's sleep these days." She said wearily.

"Next......" Natsume hesitated to look at the fork in the road around him.

"Ignore them for now, let's go straight to the treasure entrance." Hong Ying eagerly proposed.

Say it and do it.

But on which floor is this entrance?

At this time, I don't know why, my mind was like a flash of lightning--the underground passage of the base that Fanzi took down last night-this memory reminded me of the cabinet that I found in a room on the first floor with Hongying a few days ago - the secret passage.

The location of this room is just right for the middle area where the three circles intersect in my vision.

With this clue in hand, we immediately moved to the cabinet in that room.

Hong Ying said suspiciously: "However, how to solve the puzzle of the door......"

Even if the "entrance" is close at hand, you can't get in without putting together the puzzle pieces.

We revisited the puzzle pieces and looked for clues in the room.

Natsume sensed something and said, "The irregular shape of these puzzles resembles the carapace texture of those bugs on the trees outside." ”

As if grasping the first-aid rope, Hongying and I grabbed and asked, "How do you know?" ”

Natsume said, "Because I observed. And the bugs emit light, and the light emitted is different at different times. ”

I suddenly remembered something and asked, "Are the glowing bugs in the portable lamp you were holding the same ones you said?" ”

"Yes."

I looked at the color of each piece of the puzzle and carefully remembered the color change of the lights before.

Energetically, he ran to the dead tree outside the house.

We observe.

It was found that each bug did emit a shimmer, and every few minutes, the shimmer of the bug changed.

The color variation of all bugs is consistent.

This change occurs with every swaying sound of the wind chimes hanging from the trees.

"Jingle bell, jingle bell."

The change of shimmer has a specific cycle, which becomes purple, green, blue, yellow, silver, red, and then back to purple......

As for the texture of the bug's carapace – I don't know if it's a coincidence or not – there are many that resemble the Latin alphabet, but are unique and have a unique order.

We re-puzzle according to this pattern.

Pay attention to the order of each color, find the texture shapes that coincide more in the order of the bug carapace, and try to put together the puzzle.

After putting it together, the secret door really opens automatically!

Underneath the secret door is a staircase leading to the underground.

We were overjoyed and when we were ready, we went on the adventure.

But Natsume reached into the door, but it hurt as if he had been struck by electricity, and he couldn't move.

We'll be fine if we go down.

What's going on......

Investigate the entries in the book.

Later, it was discovered that the entrance to the secret treasure required to carry the rope given by the mysterious person, otherwise it would be excluded.

- So that's what the rope is for.

Natsume said frustratedly, "Oops, I used my rope to tie up the clock toy as a sling, and I didn't pick it up after the clock broke." ”

I thought about it for a while, and remembered the rope that my uncle threw at me before he left, so I took it out and gave it to Natsume to use.

It turned out that he could really get in.

We cautiously descended the staircase that led to the underground.

There is a huge space underground.

The waterways here are criss-crossed, and the sound of water is endless.

We walked along the stone-paved road.

After walking for about half an hour, I came to the end and saw a circular altar.

On the edge of the altar stand three burning torches.

In the center of the altar is a golden treasure chest.

"That's a treasure, isn't it?"

We approached and stepped onto the altar.

The flame of one of the torches was extinguished instantly.

For some reason, we felt a strong repulsion from the altar and were unable to touch the chest.

It seems to be telling us that the token is not placed correctly, that the treasure cannot be opened, and that it is going to drive us away.

The entire space shook suddenly, and the walls cracked and collapsed.

Stones fall into rivers and pools, making thrilling splashes.

"What now?" I was at a loss for a moment.

"Let's run away!" Natsume proposed.

"It's rare to come here......" Hong Ying was a little anxious.

In this case, it is undoubtedly correct to move to safety first.

"But how do you escape? Jump into the river?" asked Hongying.

This is unwise.

As I dodged the falling rocks, I suddenly remembered the magic wand I was carrying.

- It's your turn!

I pulled out my wand and pressed the knob hard.

However, nothing happened.

- Huh, what's going on?

I pressed it a few more times, but the wand still didn't move.

"Why? Why can't I change? ”
