"Hey! Are you okay?" Two seconds after the entrance closed, Xiao Tan's shout came down across the floor.
"It's nothing at the moment." Feng Bujue responded quickly.
In fact, for the two people in the wine cellar, the closing of the entrance did not bring much fear... because the principal's office, like the one below, is lit by flashlights. So, even if
When the baffle is closed, visually speaking, they won't feel it gets much darker, but the "bang" sound is a little scary, but of course... it doesn't scare Feng Bujue either.
"Brother Jue! The flap has closed by itself!" The next second, Xiao Tan shouted again.
"Ah... I guessed it." Feng Bujue replied weakly.
This is also obvious, after all, the baffle cannot be locked up by Xiaotan and the others.
"The remote control seems to have lost its function." After a few seconds, Xiaoling's voice sounded.
She had obviously tried to use the remote control to open the entrance again, but failed.
"Well..." At this time, Gui Xiao, who came to the entrance and knelt down to check, followed, "If you touch this baffle with your hand, you will get the prompt that it is "sealed by a dark force."
The meaning of this prompt is that everyone understands that the way to open this entrance has changed.
"Hmph... It looks like we have to split up from here on." Feng Bujue smiled and said to his teammates across the floor, "Anyway... you go check around again and look for any flags.
It can be triggered."
Speaking of this, the first thing Xiao Tan and the others thought of was definitely the "mysterious man on the playground."
So, the four of them quickly walked to the window and looked outside again.
result……
"Brother Jue!" Within ten seconds, Xiaotan ran back to the entrance and shouted down, "That man is gone!"
Almost at the same time he shouted these words, suddenly, a "whoop" came from the darkness outside the principal's office.
"Eh? That one just now..." Brother Jue naturally heard the sound, and then said, "...could it be the sound of the door being pulled open?"
"Uh..." Xiao Tan was stunned for a second and then responded, "It seems so."
There is no doubt that the source of this sound is definitely not on the second floor; because there are only two rooms on the second floor (the principal's office and the warehouse opposite it), and both have swing doors, so... the sound just now must have come from the second floor.
Passed down.
"What should we do? Should we go down and take a look?" An Yueqin asked after a short silence.
"Of course, this is obviously the main plot." Feng Bujue, who was under the floor, continued, "Anyway, the four of you have already completed the puzzles that can only be solved by specific characters, so you will receive the bento next time.
It doesn’t matter, so... just go with peace of mind."
"Then what should you do?" Xiao Tan asked again, "Do you want... to leave someone here to take care of you?"
"Absolutely not." Feng Bujue replied categorically, "Leaving someone here to wait is equivalent to leaving a flashlight here to waste in vain... How is this possible?" He paused, "Hurry up and find out.
You and I are fine; after you finish dealing with the drama outside, maybe we can go out."
He was right. At this moment, both teams happened to have two flashlights in their hands. In the wine cellar, Feng Bujue was holding Xiaotan's flashlight in his hand, while Ruoyu was holding her own; while outside, Feng Bujue was holding Xiaotan's flashlight.
The situation is that Xiao Ling and An Yueqin each hold their own flashlights; although the power of the above four flashlights is not the same, most of them have been lost... If nothing else, in the next ten minutes, these four flashlights will
The flashlights will go out one by one...
"Okay...we understand." After a few seconds, Xiaotan and the others reached a consensus, "Then...Brother Jue, be careful. Let's take the first step."
"Let's go quickly, don't wait any longer." There was no sense of crisis in Brother Jue's response, but a slight hint of impatience.
As a result, the four people outside no longer had any psychological burden. They left the principal's office together and headed back to the first floor.
And Feng Bujue and Li Ruoyu were trapped in that narrow secret wine cellar...
"Is this really okay for you?" About ten seconds later, after confirming by hearing that everyone had gone away, Ruoyu said, "You should have noticed... From the moment the entrance was closed, this place
At once……"
"I know." Feng Bujue interrupted, "But I don't think it's necessary for them to know..." He paused for half a second, then continued, "Even if you tell them, the air in the wine cellar has almost reached the gaseous state.
There's nothing they can do about the alcohol, so it's better not to say anything... so as not to put more pressure on them."
Obviously, both of them have noticed... The situation triggered after the entrance is blocked is not a "light change", but an "air change"; the former can make people feel a little scary at most, but the latter...
A physiological effect.
"So... what should we do now?" Ruoyu said, "Are we really just going to wait... for the entrance to open on its own?"
"It's rare to have such conditions. How about we flirt while we're drunk?" At this time, Feng Bujue turned his head and shone the flashlight on his face from bottom to top, revealing a... um...
How to describe it...the word "laughter" seems to be more appropriate.
"Okay~ Come on~" Unexpectedly, Ruoyu responded in the affirmative, but... the expression on her face was dead fish eyes and a paralyzed face, and her tone was a mocking one.
read.
"Haha... no problem~" Feng Bujue laughed a few more times, and then said in the tone of a TV show where gangsters molest good women on the street, "Beauty, are you alone?"
"Yes." Ruoyu replied.
"Hehe..." Feng Bujue said again, "Do you want to find a place with me where no one is around to talk about life?"
"Are you talking about what we are doing right now?" Ruoyu continued.
"Uh..." Brother Jue was a little overwhelmed. Whenever he was in crisis, he would instinctively use a countermeasure to further lower the lower limit, "Haha... then what, otherwise... let's just...
Do something wet and shameful."
"Spit in your mouth?" Ruoyu continued to use her cold tone and sharp on-the-spot reaction to attack Brother Jue's unethical words and deeds.
"Ha" finally, Brother Jue sighed, "Okay, okay~ I won't joke with you anymore..." When he said this, he finally regained his serious (relatively speaking) attitude, "Let's move on.
"
After that, without waiting for Ruoyu's response, he turned around and continued forward, reaching the wall at the other end in a few steps.
"Is there a road over there?" Ruoyu asked as he followed.
"There is no road, but there is an obvious puzzle..." Brother Jue said, turning slightly to the side, revealing a row of wine racks in front of him.
This wine rack has three levels, each with five wooden slots. At this moment, there are five bottles of wine in the fifteen wooden slots. Two bottles in the first row are located on the far left; one bottle is located in the second row.
The fourth grid; the two bottles in the third row, in the first and fifth grids respectively.
"This..." Ruoyu reacted quickly, "Is it echoing the 'Graffiti on the Tower of Hanoi' prompt in the women's restroom?"
"It should be." Feng Bujue replied.
"But... you can also solve this puzzle." Ruoyu continued, "Is Hanqi a girl in the setting?"
"How could it be possible... Then there should be only two prompts in the men's room." Feng Bujue replied, "In my opinion... it's because it doesn't matter who unlocks the prompts themselves." He paused for a second and then said,
"The Nine Palaces diagram suggested by tic_tac_toe, and the hint of 'pay attention to your steps'... aren't they all solved by me?"
"So?" Ruoyu gestured for him to continue.
"So... a hint is a hint, and it doesn't matter who discovers the connection." Feng Bujue said, "The key is... there should be some kind of problem that only a specific character can solve in the place where the hint points.
He immediately gave an example, "For example... where the 'tic_tac_toe graffiti' prompt is used, a person who can play the piano is used; where the 'beware of the pool' prompt is used, a person who can dissect is needed; and where the 'tic_tac_toe graffiti' prompt is used, a person who can dissect is needed.
Pay attention to the tips under your feet, you need a height of 1.6 meters..."
"Hmm..." Ruoyu heard this and continued thoughtfully, "It makes sense... The place where the 'pattern pattern' prompt was used just now requires a person with strong mathematical ability."
"Yes." Feng Bujue nodded and continued, "The things pointed to by the prompt may not necessarily be things that require specific skills to deal with, but... when such things appear, it means that the puzzle that requires specific skills to solve is there.
It’s close.”
"Understood." Ruoyu said, and glanced at the wine rack again, "In that case, it's up to you to solve this 'Tower of Hanoi' puzzle."
"That's what I think too." Feng Bujue said, "Please help me keep an eye on it, in case any monster appears from the surrounding walls, ceiling, floor, or even the bottle when I move the bottle.
Help me slap it."
"Okay." Ruoyu agreed to the request calmly.
Afterwards, Feng Bujue was ready to start moving the wine bottles.
However……
"Eh?" As soon as he picked up the first bottle of wine, he froze with doubt on his face.
"What's wrong?" Ruoyu asked.
Feng Bujue didn't reply, but silently turned the wine bottle in his hand half a circle and showed the wrapping paper on the bottle in front of Ruoyu.
"This is..." On the wrapping paper that caught Ruoyu's sight, there was not even a single word on it... the brand, name, description, year... nothing at all; what was printed on the wrapping paper looked like a painting.
"Haha..." After thinking for a moment, Ruoyu sneered, "So that's what happened."
"That's all for picking it up." Feng Bujue shrugged, put the bottle back on the wine rack, and walked sideways around Ruoyu to make way for the place in front of the wine rack.
Ruoyu didn't waste any time. After taking two steps, he picked up the five bottles of wine one by one and began to identify the painting printed on the bottle.
…………
Here, let’s talk about the rules of the so-called “Tower of Hanoi Game”.
This game originated from an ancient Indian legend. I will not go into details about the content of the legend here... To put it simply, the rule is to first set up three pillars and put a number of discs on one of the pillars.
The size must be from small to large from top to bottom; and the goal of the game is to move all the disks on a pillar under the premise that only one disk can be moved at a time and the disk cannot be enlarged above the small disk.
The disks all move to another pillar.
This is not a very complicated game. Most people can quickly figure out the movement patterns and complete the movement in the shortest steps.
Taking the example at hand, the three floors of the wine cellar are equivalent to three pillars, and the five bottles of wine are equivalent to five discs from small to large; but the question is...how to distinguish this "size"?
The reason why Brother Jue just thought he could solve this puzzle is... He thought he could easily distinguish the "size" represented by five bottles of wine.
But, as mentioned above, when he saw the bottle, he found that the message recorded on the bottle was something he could not decipher.
If the information given here is words, numbers, code words, or there are subtle differences in the volume and shape of the bottles themselves, Brother Jue will definitely be able to figure it out; unfortunately... there are five paintings printed on the five bottles of wine.
.
Needless to say, it goes without saying that only Ruoyu, who owns a gallery at home, in the team can sort five bottles of wine in the face of such a prompt.
…………
"Okay, it's confirmed." Within two minutes, Ruoyu spoke again, stretched out his long and narrow fingers, and gently tapped the wine bottle in front of him, "There are a few small traps here... At first I
I thought it was arranged according to the year of painting, but soon discovered that the year of creation of this painting "Beauty of the Harem" by Duse is unknown, and it can only be determined that it was painted in the second half of the 19th century; this is the same as "Alionnu" that came out in 1881.
"Shika" has a certain conflict, and it is impossible to determine which one comes first and which one comes last..."
While she was explaining to Brother Jue, she was already moving the five bottles of wine.
"Then I considered the size, genre, style, and even the creator's situation at the time, etc... But some of the information exceeded my knowledge base. So I changed my thinking and finally discovered the problem..."
By this time, she had put all five bottles of wine into the five slots on the top shelf of the wine rack.
Just when her hand left the mouth of the bottle, there was only a "click" sound, and the sound of some kind of mechanism starting came from the wine rack.
Immediately afterwards, the system prompt also came: [Transfer five bottles of wine to the bottom wine rack in the correct method and order].
"It seems I was right..." Ruoyu heard the sound and continued, "The original location and distance of the five bottles of wine hinted that the five painters were in three eras respectively, as well as the order of their deaths; therefore,
...The basis for arranging these five bottles of wine is the 'lifespan' of the five painters."
After that, she didn't wait for the confused Jue Ge to make any comment, and started to move the wine bottles according to the rules of Hanoi Tower.
In fact, Ruoyu was a little anxious because... after staying in this place full of "alcoholic smell" for a while, she was indeed a little drunk. Her cheeks were red and even her head was a little dizzy...
