Chapter 940: Someone Has Been Here (Part I)
The civilization of the ancient elves was extremely developed, leaving countless treasures to be explored and studied for future generations.
However, for scholars who specialize in them, in addition to the unexpected surprise of discovering certain techniques and knowledge, there is also the feeling of being very speechless and groaned by the settings made by the elder elves seem to be painful.
- An Yizhi feels very slumped right now.
Maybe for the ancient elves, unlocking the Sudoku that was just on the wall is as easy as pressing a button, but it still can't change An Yizhi's mood of wanting to find a target to vent his anger......
With a speechless look on his face, Ann reached out and touched the text.
Due to the effect of going back in time, the console is no longer the gray and misty it used to be, but has the same color as the surroundings, and it looks like a whole piece of gold.
But Ann touched it with a finger, and could clearly feel that he had pressed a button, and then saw a small door pop open under the console.
Although the ideas of the ancient elves are sometimes particularly speechless, I have to say that their craftsmanship is really powerful, if it weren't for the hints, An Yizhi wouldn't have been able to see that there was actually a structure that could be opened, without the slightest gap.
Behind the pop-up part is actually a dark grid, and Ann pointed to look inside, and saw a square shape about fifty centimeters or so.
Reaching out and taking it out of the dark compartment, whether it is to the touch or visually, it is the texture of pure metal. But it doesn't weigh much in your hand, as if it doesn't weigh much.
"Hollow? But how do you open this thing? ”
Hela asked a little strangely as she watched Ann put the box on the console.
Rao has a database of Nikolai, which does not mean that the information about the ancient elves in the database must be 100% complete, and it is the first time she has seen the setting of this kind of box.
On the contrary, An Yizhi nodded and said very firmly:
"I kind of understand what they're playing."
As he spoke, he fumbled with his hands on the box for a while, and finally found a button at the top of the box that he could press down. With a press of the hand, a grip popped up on both sides of the box, which was originally integrated and could not see any gaps at all, as if it could continue to pull.
This is a trap box, which can be said to be a very classic routine in puzzle games.
Step by step, the player needs to unlock the traps on the box to finally get what they want.
As for the difficulty, yes.
This type of puzzle game has a very simple solution that anyone can use.
- Blind ** point.
The argument of forcing the high point is to exhaust the method, and to point out all the places where there may be organs one by one, and you can always find a way to move on to the next step.
In other words, although the puzzle routine is not difficult, why does An Yizhi feel that the game he plays has changed from a large-scale MMORPG to an escape room ......?
Not to mention this, An Yizhi grabbed the grips on both sides of the box with both hands, and pulled it in his direction hard, and the entire metal box turned into a diamond-shaped object like a transformer under the action of external force, revealing a dense gear structure on the surface.
Raising his eyes, An Yizhi saw that a gear was missing on it, and found a button that could be pressed, probably to find this gear and press the button.
The rest is just a little bit of the process of opening the box, and there is really nothing to say.
(If you're curious, don't break the recommended handle of this kind of game The Room series)
The young man is unpacking the box-
After disassembling the trap box layer by layer like peeling an onion, An Yizhi finally got a silver key about ten centimeters long.
The item's description states that it could be used to open an emergency passage somewhere, presumably the one he needs.
Re-cast the Detect Secret Door spell to reveal the hidden emergency passage, and Ann casually inserted the key into the keyhole.
Then he heard the sound of something popping open behind him again, and when he looked back, he saw that under the console, there was another dark compartment open next to the box that had just been taken out.
There are two keys needed for the secret door, and it should be the second one of the same routine.
The newly opened compartment is still a box of about the same size, the difference being that the previous box is made of metal, this time it is wooden.
An Yizhi also put it on the console, and with great interest to continue dismantling, Hela stared at the box and said leisurely:
"Master, all you need is a key anyway, why don't you throw the box on the ground and break it up violently?"
“……”
In a general puzzle game, of course, players can't directly use brute force methods, even if you know that the mystery is there, you have to follow the routine of the puzzle game maker.
But the world of the brave is not a pure puzzle game, not to mention that this kind of world with a high degree of freedom is almost no different from reality, so there is no need to continue to step out of the problematic's routine.
The wood used in the wooden box is good, quite strong, but in the dismantling of the knight without dying with his bare hands, it turns into sawdust in less than two seconds.
If you think of this method, you can't solve the mystery step by step......
After easily getting the second key and inserting it into the keyhole, the emergency passage was still not open.
Due to the effect of time rewinding, the puzzle pieces on the secret door have returned to a scattered state, and they need to be reassembled with an finger......
As the saying goes, the second puzzle did not take too long compared to the first time, and with the last piece of the puzzle in place, the secret door made the sound of rock rubbing.
An Yizhi took a step back, and saw the secret door open left and right like an automatic door in a shopping mall, revealing the dark doorway opening behind it.
Just as he was about to take a look, a magic screen lit up on the console behind him.
"Hela, what's written on that?"
"Hmm...... It took one hour and twenty-two minutes, and the score was extremely poor, comment: I really doubt that you are mentally retarded. ”
An Yi fingered: "......"
It seems that it was despised by the ancient elves.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
An Yizhi's IQ is not low, he has been evaluated as smart when he does Mensa's intelligence test, which is rare at the level of ordinary people, and there is only a thin line away from a real genius.
But this level of IQ is actually mentally retarded in the evaluation of the ancient elves......
How many dicks are these guys?!
But it's not too important, anyway, the mortal world is dominated by humans, and the ancient elves are already a thing of the past.
- An Yizhi can only comfort himself like this......
Behind the secret door, under the lighting of the light technique, you can see that it is a space of one or two square meters, and An Yizhi walked in and looked back, and saw a very familiar panel.
It's a magical version of an elevator.
Although it is very unreliable to use the elevator as an emergency passage, after all, it is an ancient elf, and no matter how unreliable it is, it can be explained by egg pain, and An Yizhi did not bother with this.
Hella says the elevator is completely self-contained, can't be controlled from a console, doesn't need to function from a power source, and the energy that drives it to move comes from the user.
In other words, Ann Yizhi had to inject magic into the elevator himself in order for it to start.
Reaching out to the panel designated by Hela, as the magic was infused, An Yizhi felt the elevator begin to descend.
The magic power consumed was not much, and the descent time was not long, about ten seconds later, the elevator stopped moving, and the elevator door behind An Yizhi opened.
Behind the door is a scene in the style of a 'mad scientist's laboratory'.
Ann pointed to see large and small glass jars attached to the machinery that he didn't understand what they did, and they filled the room, leaving only a few paths that could barely be traversed.
Most of the glass jars are empty and broken, but some are still relatively well preserved, and you can see that they contain biological organs, or even biological specimens.
And it's all bugs.
Hela said that this was the laboratory of the ancient elves to study insect monsters, and this arrangement was a matter of course, but some of the machinery in the room still emitted a faint blue magical aura, illuminating the entire laboratory with a gloomy atmosphere.
An Yizhi did not rush in, but first used the detection spell to sweep back and forth on both sides to make sure that there were no prehistoric monsters alive inside, and then walked in with Hela.
Walking through the machines that he didn't know what to do, An Yizhi found a console that was two sizes smaller than the room above, it was activated, and the text was realistic on the light screen.
"Experiment No. 325 is dormant and has a high degree of damage...... The master's console should be connected to the insect king outside. ”
Hela said, jumping out of her dimensional pocket and jumping onto the console to knock and knock on it, helping Ann find more information.
And An Yizhi just looked at it honestly, and he would usually search the neighborhood to see if he could find anything useful.
But this is a lab, unlike the control room where the console is located, and there are a lot of things in the lab that are extremely dangerous.
This is true in real life, and it still works in games. That's why An Yizhi didn't touch around with his hands, in case of any toxic substances released, there was nowhere to run.
Soon Hela turned her head and said:
"Judging from the log, the insect king outside is a biological weapon developed by the ancient elves, used to fight against the dragon, but the effect is not satisfactory, so they abandoned the blockade of the research institute, the energy shortage and tunnel collapse of this research institute are also because the energy source was taken away by the ancient elves, and it is only maintained by the spare magic circle to absorb the magical energy traveling in the air, and it is estimated that the soil outside has such a high negative energy level because of this"
Negative energy levels in swamps are already higher than normal, and having a circle underground that absorbs energy will cause negative energy to accumulate in the dirt on the surface.
It is said that the ancient elves have really put a lot of effort into scaring the dragon, and with their technical ability, they can not only make Gundam, but they can even do biological weapons, what is the next step? EVA?
Ann pointed to complaining in his heart, and Hela continued:
"From the console here, the insect king can be affected to a certain extent, but it can't be perfectly controlled, and it is estimated that this is the reason why the ancient elves gave up on it, but it is a bit strange."
"What's weird?"
"The Worm King should always be in a deep sleep unless it hatches naturally, but here it shows that the Worm King has been activated last time, except for a few times when the Worm King has hatched naturally."
"Artificial?"
"Well, it was about a month ago."
An touched his chin with a finger, and it seemed that things were getting more and more interesting.
