Chapter 563: Soul Lock
The chamber is also circular, and the walls around it are pure white and extremely smooth, and it feels spotless and clean. The things placed inside reminded Liu Qian of the snatching cabin in the soul laboratory behind the Agricultural College...... The Seizure Cabin is the name that Liu Qian gave to that kind of cabin, and its official name is, according to Jiang Jinyuan, 'Soul Energy Detection Record Collection and Transfer Device'.
It's just that the scale of this place is much larger, and there are as many as twelve of them in total, distributed in a hexagonal shape around the cabin. The cabins were divided into two groups, one of the two cabins in each group was open, and the other was closed, because the metal door above was completely closed, so it was unknown what was in the closed cabin.
And the opening of the sack cabin...... There was a dried corpse lying in each cabin, and their expressions seemed very calm and serene, and Anna couldn't help but be a little frightened when she saw these dried corpses...... Because it was almost exactly the same as the dried corpse she had seen in her dream that night at the liaison station.
In addition, these dry corpses were wearing the same streamlined overalls as the ones they were wearing now, which were originally very tight, but now because the corpses of the people inside had dried up, the overalls became a little loose.
"What's going on here?" Liu Qian looked at these dried corpses and asked Qianzhou and Zhang Mengdi.
"It's hard to say now, you need to go to the console to find out." Qianzhou walked over to a small console in the center of the cabin.
There was obviously a heavy metal hatch on the ground in the center of the six groups of sacks, which could only be opened to go down, next to a small console, and the electronic screen on it was black. Qianzhou operated to no avail, so he changed Zhang Mengdi to operate, I don't know what Zhang Mengdi did. Anyway, the display lit up.
Some of the prompts state that only those who answer five questions correctly will be allowed to enter the chamber below, and if the hatch is breached, it will trigger a nuclear explosion in the laboratory's nuclear power installation.
The five questions displayed on the screen were very strange, and everyone who saw them frowned.
"What color dress did the second sister wear at the graduation dinner?"
"On the way back to Tundra City. Which bus did the six people take? ”
"What animal is painted on the cobbler's apron?"
"Aside from you, how many people are there in the dispatch room?"
"What is the last number on the license plate of a police motorcycle?"
Everyone looked at each other, and no one could know the answers to these five questions that were inexplicably irrelevant to everyone's experience.
"Is this some kind of code word? Do you know the answer? Liu Qian asked Zhang Mengdi.
"I don't know." Zhang Mengdi shook his head.
There is no way but to guess. At the suggestion of everyone, especially Anna's suggestion, Zhang Mengdi entered a pink in the answer to the first question, and the system prompted an error.
At the same time, there is also a line of prompts and a countdown timer according to which you can only re-enter the answer once after five hours, if you answer incorrectly three times in a row. The system is locked for three days.
Guessing a question incorrectly can lock you up for five hours, but it is impossible to guess the answer to these five questions in a row.
"Surely you know something, right?" Liu Qian saw that Zhang Mengdi had been looking at several cabins in a daze, so he walked over and asked her again.
"This is the soul lock, you have to enter the soul pod to get the answer." Zhang Mengdi pointed to the six seizure cabins in the cabin.
"Sister Moe, what is the soul lock?" Guo Tian asked Zhang Mengdi curiously.
"It's that this hatch is locked by a soul lock, and if you want to open it, you have to solve the puzzle of the soul lock. Those are the five problems that we see. The twelve soul capsules were divided into groups of twos and twos, and the unopened ones should have been six corpses that had died but still retained some of the functions of the brain. The answer lies in their yet-not-than-dead brains. Only the six of us lying down in the soul pod next to them and delving into the memory fragments of their brains can find the answer to the soul lock puzzle. ”
"I think there must have been six people who had entered here before us, and they also tried to find answers in the memory fragments, but they got lost in the memory fragments and never woke up. Until in the end, all the soul power was lost and turned into a dried corpse. Zhang Mengdi looked at the dried corpses again.
"Why do you know so well?" Qianzhou, who came over, couldn't help but ask Zhang Mengdi.
"I've seen this kind of soul lock before, but I can't remember exactly where I saw it." Zhang Mengdi had a very distressed look on her face.
"In other words, if we want to open the middle hatch and continue down, we must all lie down in these soul pods?" Liu Qian confirmed to Zhang Mengdi.
"Yes. Lie all in there, and the soul lock program will open, pulling us into some fragment of their shared memory. Zhang Mengdi nodded.
"I don't want to lie down! What if you're trapped in a memory fragment like them and can't get out? Aren't you going to be a dry corpse too? Qian Zhou immediately shook his head after hearing Zhang Mengdi's words.
"You don't know, do you? This secret laboratory has been completely sealed, and if we don't enter the soul chamber and open the middle hatch, and then leave through the exit, we will also be trapped here, and sooner or later we will also die and become dried corpses. Zhang Mengdi glanced around and replied to Qianzhou.
"It's a trap! You knew about this trap from the beginning and still brought us down, you just did it on purpose, right? Qianzhou asked Zhang Mengdi.
"It was I who opened the entrance hatch, but it was you who brought us down." Zhang Mengdi pursed her lips.
"You ......" Qianzhou had nothing to say, it was indeed she who rushed to the elevator console to manipulate and brought the six people down. She was curious about what would be in the secret lab, but she didn't think it would be a trap.
Liu Qian didn't stop Qianzhou and Zhang Mengdi's quarrel, and he also wanted to hear how Zhang Mengdi would answer these questions. If it weren't for the scepter's special confession to recruit Zhang Mengdi into his team, he would also be a little suspicious of Zhang Mengdi's identity and motives at this moment.
But then again, it wasn't Zhang Mengdi who brought them here, it was he who asked Wang Yan to bring them here, so Zhang Mengdi had no motive to harm them.
"Sister Moe, can we just lie in?" Anna was originally very bold, but now looking at those dried corpses and thinking of the previous dream, there is still an indescribable fear in her heart. (To be continued.) )
