Chapter 825: The Claustrophobic Skyscraper (5)

Inside the buildingβ€”β€”

The puzzles in this room are not too difficult, and they feel similar to the previous room, all of which are tricks to trick children.

Strictly speaking, the puzzles in this room are slightly more difficult, and only a little more difficult.

Now that you know that you need to fill in certain numbers in the dial, and you get a few words, the meaning is already clear.

There are numbers hidden in those bloody breaks.

In fact, it can't be hidden, it can only be said to be a hint.

"Such a simple puzzle always makes me feel like there is a hole......"

Compared with the easy guessing of the puzzle, An Yizhi was more suspicious of whether there were any traps waiting for him, and it felt a little too easy.

However, there was no other way for the time being, so he decided to fill in all the numbers on the dial first.

There is a number implied in the short sentence,

First of all, this sentence.

'Father tried to chop her up, but failed, and could only cut her into seventeen pieces'

This sentence has a very obvious number of 17, which can be seen as long as you are not blind.

The second is 'today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and my father and sister are not at home'.

It may seem like there are no numbers, but it requires association and thinking.

Mid-Autumn Festival, August 15, and considering the number 17 just obtained, the number hidden in this sentence should be 15.

I don't know why my father and sister had a big fight, isn't it good to look at the round moon? ’

The understanding of this sentence is the same as the previous sentence, as the so-called fifteenth moon and sixteen round, regardless of whether the context of this sentence is the day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, at least the round moon is likely to represent 16.

'Dad went to deal with my sister's meat, when will I be able to come back, the teacher said that today is an unlucky Black Friday, and it is not appropriate to go out'

This sentence also requires association and thought, and also requires some specific knowledge, as for why it is explained later.

The so-called Black Friday does not specifically refer to Friday, but the thirteenth, and it happens to be Friday, in many countries in Europe and the United States, 13 is considered to be an unlucky number, and even the seats in the theater are tried to avoid the 13th seat, replaced by M, and even the elevator of the building will not write the 13th floor.

So the number hidden in this sentence is not 5, but 13.

As for the last sentence 'My sister died, it was my father who killed her', let's put it aside for the time being, and continue to think about it.

Now that Ann has four numbers that can be filled in the dial, let's think about the order of the numbers.

This has been hinted at on the dial for a long time.

The remaining numbers on the dial are 12~6, and most of the numbers on the table are there, at first An Yizhi didn't feel anything wrong, and felt that he had to find the remaining 5 numbers to fill in.

Later, after careful observation and thinking for a while, I found that the remaining numbers on the dial were not given randomly, but had a certain pattern.

Among them, the most obvious law is the correspondence.

The relative positions of the remaining numbers are empty, except for 12 and 6 to form a corresponding form, combined with the numbers obtained from the short sentence, which is already a very clear hint.

12+6=18.

In other words, the number should be filled in with the sum of the number and the other number in the diagonal line equal to 18, which is where each number should be.

Therefore, the system does not consider the kind of puzzles that require specific knowledge, although it takes a little extra knowledge to solve the hidden numbers in all the phrases, but it is not necessary at all, because the number 17 is clearly placed in front of you.

In addition, as long as the correspondence between 12 and 6 on the dial is deduced, even if you don't solve the hidden numbers in the short sentence at all, you can still fill in all the numbers accurately according to the order of reasoning.

It feels like the marker pen obtained on the previous layer is used here.,This pen is not only used as a reminder prop to confuse players on the previous layer.,In this layer, it has become a key prop through here.,I have to say,This setting is quite ingenious.,It's too insidious.。

Based on the above inference, it didn't take much effort to write 13.15.16.17.17.1.1.1.1.1.1.17.1.17.1.17.17.17.17.17.17.17.1.17.1.17.1.17.1.17.1.17.1.17.1.17.1.1.1.1.1

Only one space is vacant.

By inference, 14 should be written there, but this is not the case, and the correct answer here should be left blank.

The reason is simple.

One is to allow the player to search for the five phrases, because it is possible for the player to guess what number should be filled in the blank space just by looking at the dial, so that the phrase is more useful.

It seems so, but it is not.

The last sentence, that is, 'My sister died, it was my father who killed her'.

This phrase does not imply any numbers, but it also hides a certain meaning.

Die.

To die is to disappear, to be gone, to be gone, to cease to exist, in conjunction with the preceding phrase.

The father killed his sister, and the body was cut into 17 pieces, which he took and disposed of.

Even the last corpse is gone, and it can be said that the man has been completely destroyed and returned to nothingness.

Nothingness, of course, is a blank space where nothing is written, not 0, because mathematically 0 is also a number that exists.

An Yizhi filled in all the numbers, leaving the position where 14 should be filled, and stood in place for about ten seconds, just listening.....

Click, click, click.

The sound of gears turning came from the wall, and he saw the hour hand turn again, moving from the empty space to the 12 o'clock position, and then coinciding with 12.

Duang~

The loud chimes echoed around the room, and Ann took two steps back with his fingers over his ears, and then the dial embedded in the wall slowly melted into the wall like a sugar cube in coffee, and finally disappeared completely.

At the same time, a ray of light lit up in the middle of the wall.

This light runs from left to right, across the entire wall.

Immediately afterward, the light became wider and wider, and the light that seeped out became larger and larger, as if it was slowly opening its mouth, and finally the wall disappeared completely, and the light belonging to the sun shone directly into it, completely dispelling the darkness in the entire room.

An Yi pointed close to the disappearing wall and reached out to touch it, and could touch a glass wall that resembled a very high light transmission, but the wall that was more reminiscent of the stance was blocked there, and the player was not allowed to jump out of it.

Standing on the side, he could see the police and military at his feet surrounding the entire building on the third and outer floors, and if he looked closely, he could find Yumeko Mizushima, there was no one near her, and it was very conspicuous.

It's just that the size of those people is basically the same as a matchbox from above, and An Yizhi estimates that the floor he is on should be more than 10 floors.

Jumping from the floor on the second floor and ending up at a position above the 10th floor is not magical...... Science doesn't make sense anyway.

And the timing isn't quite right.

It was around noon when Ann entered the building, and he spent a maximum of 20 minutes solving the puzzle in the first and second rooms (because the flashlight had not run out), but it was clear that several hours had passed outside the building, and a glimmer of sunset could be seen hanging obliquely in the sky.

This is the benefit of temporary dungeons, the system can set it up however it wants, and you can play it however you want, but it just makes the time flow rate different inside and outside the building, which is just a small meaning for the temporary sub-class who has far more control than the multiverse dungeon.

Looking into the distance from here, the sign of a high-end hotel next door faces away from the setting sun, and like a 'ghost drawing', the characters unique to this dungeon world cast rows of shadows in the sunlight, which is exactly on the floor where Ann Yizhi is.

He looked around for a moment, looking for any other clues, when he heard a soft 'ding'.

An Yizhi turned his head to look over, and saw that the elevator facing him behind him began to run, and the elevator door suddenly opened.

This is probably the exit.

But......

Isn't the puzzle too easy?

A puzzle that claims to be a god, but it turns out to be a trick at the level of a schoolboy?

There were doubts in his heart, but he couldn't think of a more reasonable explanation for the time being, so he could only walk in the direction of the elevator.

"Wait!"

When he was about to step into the elevator, An Yizhi suddenly realized something.

He turned and looked back at the floor.

At this time, because one side was wide open, the room was long gone, and the darkness that could not be seen before, only the shadow cast by the hotel sign in the distance in the light of the setting sun.

"I see...... The questioner is really a sinister guy. ”

He touched his chin and muttered, his expression very smug.

"But if you want to fool me, the Great Demon Master An Yizhi is still too tender!"

There's no one else around here, so it's a question of who this thing is posing for......

Then Ann pointed and didn't look at the open elevator door behind him, and stood on the left side of the shadow in a different direction, looking at the other end.

The words of this world seem to An Yizhi to be completely ghost-drawn, not at all the way that men or English letters have ever seen, and they are written like noodles.

But the shadows cast by the sunlight form a very arrow-like pattern on the floor rows......

The shape is not clearly visible on the wall of the dial or in front of the elevator doors, and due to the angle, the shadow looks like a messy strip.

But from another angle, you can see that it's actually an arrow. And the position that the arrow points to......

It's exactly a floor tile.

"Sure enough, it's a fraudster's trick, it's not a mystery at all."

It's no wonder that if he has to solve a puzzle, he prefers the kind of puzzle that can only be concluded after careful thinking, which makes him feel that his mind is beating in his head, which is particularly pleasant.

The two rooms I pass through are essentially typical fraudsters, giving the player a trap to see if they fall into it rather than giving them a puzzle for the player to solve.

- Very disgusting.

The first room's tip is 'The way to escape is at your feet, but be aware that you only have one chance to choose, and if you choose the wrong one, you'll end up in the endless abyss'.

This hint is not specific to the first room, just as the three items found in the first room are still useful in the second room.

In short, the exit of the second room is also 'right at the feet' instead of an elevator that opens itself!

An Yi used the miniature crowbar to pry open the floor tiles pointed to by the 'shadow arrow', and there was still a hazy fog underneath it.

And the next moment he pried open the floor tiles, the marker, flashlight and crowbar placed next to him all turned into particles of light in the sunlight and finally disappeared.

This means that they are useless, both as hints and as a playthrough.

It also shows that An Yizhi has indeed found the right place.

"A god who claims to be wise, but loves to use the tricks of a deceitful, such a ...... Well, you've piqued my interest. ”

It feels more like the usual methods of the devils of the Nine Hells than gods......
