0099 Chapter 3: The Unbelievable Kidnapping Case (Section 9)
Zhen Cheng directed everyone to disperse and counted the entire corridor as quickly as possible.
The corridor is very long, with a total of sixty-five rooms on both sides. Among them, there are only one room labeled A and B. There are eight rooms in C, including the places where the seven people present woke up and one room that has never been opened.
, a room where there is no response even if I knock outside.
Then there are fifteen rooms D, thirty rooms E, and eight rooms F. It is obvious that the seven letters correspond to the seven types of rooms on the document. What is interesting is that the arrangement of these rooms has no rules. Neither the same letters are concentrated in
Together, not in a staggered sequence.
"I just... heard a strange sound in the room over the corridor. It seemed like someone was pacing in the room, but the owner of the footsteps felt very heavy..." The junior high school student poked Zhen Cheng's weak back with his finger.
Wei said: "Those may be other trapped people, but I feel very scared and dare not talk..."
"Is it the room marked D?" Zhen Cheng asked.
"How do you know?" The boy looked very surprised.
Zhen Cheng nodded and turned to everyone: "I also heard obviously abnormal noises in the D-type room just now. Corresponding to the function of the seventh-type room, what is questionable is the laboratory and the dormitories of the two batches of experimental subjects.
In other words, there may be 'human beings' in these rooms who have taken unknown drugs and whose current condition is unknown, but who are very likely to become a threat to us.
They may be completely harmless but have lost the intelligence to respond to calls, or they may become monsters whose physical abilities are far beyond our imagination and will attack unreasonably when they see living creatures. Or even more terrifying... become [them]."
Zhen Cheng's concerns are not out of the blue. From the limited information, she has seen more than one instance of a person who accidentally entered mutated under the influence of the "hidden space".
"So if possible, we'd better avoid all Class D rooms," the steady doctor agreed: "At the same time, we can roughly speculate on the functions of the other rooms in the corridor.
The weapons arsenal may help increase our ability to protect ourselves from unknown threats; the laboratory may contain clues about what happened here; the office may contain information that can guide us to escape;
And if we really can't leave here for a while, the living area may have food, water, bathrooms and toilets...well, if time hasn't worn out all the supplies.
What a pity, except for temporarily speculating that Class D rooms may be dangerous, we have no way to confirm the number letters corresponding to each room. If we want to get anything useful, we must risk opening the room and try..."
"You heard what that girl said. What we need to face when we open the room is probably a monster! That can kill people! I don't know how the guy who built this building got his brain squeezed by the door. In his daily life
The place has come up with such a design that it is impossible for humans to come up with the results,” the martial arts coach complained:
"The vilification comes first. If you can't come to a definite conclusion, I won't allow anyone to try to open another door without permission!"
The junior high school student also stuck out his tongue: "If I lived in a place like this and accidentally forgot the location of my room because of the medicine, I would definitely be trapped in the corridor and die..."
"It's not impossible to reason," Zhen Cheng tapped his temple and smiled: "The purpose of this document is to remind citizens who have forgotten the location of the room to find out the room number. How could it not be left in the text?
Where are the clues?
First of all, don’t forget that among all the rooms, we have basically opened one category.”
"Category room..." The doctor seemed to be lost in thought and murmured in a voice that everyone would hear:
“Through the repeated use of paper and the design of the living and experimental areas on the same floor, we may be able to infer that the people here are in a very difficult situation, and may even be driven into despair under the threat of [them].
Under such circumstances, human societies that still maintain order usually show protection for young individuals. In other words, the possibility that Detective Sister’s room with a large number of children’s homework graffiti is the experimental subject’s dormitory is very small..."
"Although there is not enough evidence, this is what I guess," Zhen Cheng's smile became even brighter: "Then the only ones left are the 'dormitories for experimenters and their families'. If nothing else, we will wake up separately
The room corresponding to the letter C is probably this type of room.
So the next question is, "Each type of room is identified by the relative letter that is subordinate to the previous one." What does it mean? As we all know, the twenty-six letters can only be said in sequence, and there is no subordinate relationship in itself. This kind of relationship may exist.
can only be the things they refer to..."
"You mean... D winter cabbage belongs to B cabbage, belongs to C dish, and F food belongs to..." The junior high school student couldn't continue making up. What's even more confusing is that most of the people present have not eaten for more than ten hours.
The martial arts coach's stomach growled in dismay.
The red-haired lady wearing a mask didn't seem to be the type who was good at thinking. She pulled her hair and showed a troubled posture and said with difficulty: "If you use the pinyin idea, you won't use letters to mark the room types, right? You Orientals are not
Do you prefer to directly mark one, two, three or something?
Let me tell you, this bullet belongs to the cartridge, the magazine belongs to the gun, the gun belongs to the firearm, the weapon belongs to the equipment, and the equipment belongs to the depot warehouse."
Um... Although it's a bit far-fetched, you actually connected the seven items... But what does it mean when you either eat or fight and kill?
Zhen Cheng, who had black lines all over his head, explained with a forced smile: "Although I was very surprised to get a perfect answer, I think that similar affiliations are more based on association, so there is no uniqueness at all, and it is impossible to be accurate.
The role of cryptography in marking facts.”
"At this time, we should start with the prompt itself," the doctor thought deeply: "Before the sentence about letter affiliation, I remember there is another sentence 'Start from the central dormitory'. Does the 'central' here refer to it?
Is it the middle of the entire corridor?"
"Yes, the thirty-two doors on one side of the sixty-five rooms are basically symmetrical with the wall as the center. There are thirty-three doors on the other side. The room in the center is the martial arts instructor's room, which is C!" The firefighter ordered the rooms.
He remembered the location very well and started shouting excitedly. But then he seemed to realize something and became a little depressed again:
"But the little detective sister had already speculated that the rooms we were trapped in were all Category C. Now we have only confirmed that the Category C room may be the researcher's dormitory, and it is indeed the 'central location of the start'."
Zhen Cheng blinked: "The word 'center' is not only related to the symmetry of the corridor. If we associate it with the letters on the room, and then think about the number of room categories...can we get a unique
