More than one piece, there were many notes of paper sticking on the heavy metal door, some of which fell to the ground due to loss of stickiness or other reasons.
Anna walked to the door, and when she saw the note that the same contents were, she casually took out the next one and handed it to Lu Li.
[The first key is in the place where the lady is watching, the second key is in the place where the water flows dry, the third key is in the box of the stars, and the last key is in its flesh and blood.]
"A... a mystery?" Anna's eyes fell on the keyhole at the four corners of the metal door.
Decryption is indeed an effective means to filter out weirdness, although there are loopholes: weirdness can be guarded at the door of the vault and wait for humans to come to the door automatically, just like weirdness that entrenches in the hall and abandons the human body.
"I can guess the last key, what about the other three in the weird body outside?" Anna thought the puzzle was arranged too complicated, and not only the weird ones were sifted away, but also some humans.
"It's in a corner of this bank." Lu Li took off the oil lamp hanging on the wall and lit it, and retreated back to the hall with Anna.
Echoes of tearing and scratching were heard everywhere in the hall, and Anna used a kitchen knife to divide the strange corpse and search for the key.
A finger can be stuffed into the keyhole of the vault gate. What you can guess is that the key is not too small. Three minutes later, Anna found a spitted copper spoon in front of the hole in the corner, and took it back to Lu Li.
"No other key was found?" Anna asked, Lu Li's hands were empty.
“It should be all upstairs.”
The second floor is the office area, with several messy tables and chairs indicating that there are still people on duty in this bank when the upside down city came. According to the door sign guidelines, Lu Li entered the manager's office on the edge.
Anna went straight to the desk and the corner file cabinet. Lu Li put the oil lamp on the table, stood in front of the window and opened the curtains and looked down.
In the distance of the gray city, the hat top of the palace hall, which was above all buildings, stabbed into the sky, almost in contact with the reflection in the upside down.
The crowds in the street below remain unabated, but if you observe carefully, you will find more figures leaving the central area of the royal city.
After observing quietly for a while, Lu Li withdrew his gaze and his eyes fell on the office. His attention was attracted by a portrait on the wall: in the oil painting, there was a noble dress in an exaggerated style that only appeared two hundred years ago, as if he was staring outside the portrait.
【Mrs. Ginny Amples】
The signature in the lower right corner reads the identity of the lady in the painting.
Lu Li observed the oil painting thoughtfully for a few seconds, and suddenly turned around and looked at the place she was looking at - a portrait was also hung on the wall opposite: a middle-aged man with a goatee and a top hat.
【Sir Grefort Amples】
He is Mrs. Ginny's husband, and their decades of love have also been a beautiful conversation among the nobles in the royal city.
Lu Li found something and walked to the portrait of Sir Amples and moved it away.
A dark grid was exposed where it should be flat wallpaper, and the second key was revealed after opening it.
"What key is this?" Anna, who was searching for nothing, returned to Lu Li.
"First."
"Where the lady is watching..." Anna said to herself, looking around the office again, and found the oil painting of Mrs. Ginny hanging on the wall, and understood the logic of the puzzle.
"So the other two keys may also be hidden under this...abstract puzzle?"
The boxes of stars... may be placed in an open air. The water flow is dry... The bank has no fountains, so it may be near a mural with a river and lake painting or beside a kitchen pool.
However, Anna searched the second floor and found no relevant things to the clues of the two keys. Instead, she found the answer on the puzzle in a grocery box.
A wooden box piled up with broom mop and other debris, inlaid with precious gems.
The gems dotted on the wooden box are like stars.
This treasure chest itself is a precious treasure, and it should be preserved in a strict treasure house rather than placed in the utility room at will.
So its usefulness is self-evident.
When I opened the treasure chest, the third copper key lying quietly at the bottom of the box appeared as promised.
Anna, who was immersed in the decryption game, muttered dissatisfied with this, thinking that the guy who set up the puzzle was not serious. In any case, only the last key was left but not found, and half of the third floor was not searched.
The last room on the third floor of the Amples Noble Bank is an exhibition room: it completely restores the bedroom of Mrs. Amples, the founder of the bank two hundred years ago.
Perhaps at dawn there were still bedrooms cleaned up in style from two centuries ago, and even the dressing table was filled with ladies' supplies.
As soon as he walked into this place, Lu Li saw a copper key pressed on the dark red bed.
But Anna was puzzled by this: "Why is the key to the dry water in the bedroom?"
Lu Li's eyes swept across the painting of Mrs. Amples, the old woman on the wall, and replied: "Some kind of bad taste."
The four keys have been found, and they have returned to the first floor.
The more than ten minutes it took to find the key was enough to clean up the body, and walked through the clean hall, and they came to the gate of the vault.
Anna inserted four keys into the keyhole and twisted in clockwise order.
Click—
A muffled sound echoed in the hall. The next moment, the sound of gear rotating mechanisms came from the metal door. The heavy vault door slowly opened automatically, revealing a step extending downward.
"I'll go ahead." Anna took the oil lamp from Lu Li's hand and walked into Youliang's treasure house first.
I took the last step and walked through a dungeon-like enclosed corridor, a hall with oil lamps hanging everywhere and candles lit up.
Compared to the busy figure of Anna on the table with her back facing away from Lu Li in the middle of the hall, the money cabinet around the treasure house seemed to be with her.
"Since someone can get through the trouble," Cang Lao's voice sounded, his hair was gray, and his back was still busy with something, without looking back.
The table and his feet were filled with mechanical parts.
"Do you know the monster outside?" Lu Li frowned and spoke.
"call……"
The old man finally finished the assembly of his hands, put the machine with a large fist on the table with a long sigh, and turned around to greet the guests.
He perfectly fits the public's stereotype of scientists: he always wears a white coat that doctors would wear, unkempt, nervous, and thick glasses.
"Why not? If it weren't for it, I wouldn't have called you to come." He suddenly lowered his head and looked over the frame at Anna: "...resentful spirit?"
"My assistant." Lu Li said.
"Of course...of course...I am not those exorcists who are old and keep the Old Testament." The old man waved his hand casually, indicating the difference between himself and those local ancient families, and showed his expression to express his dislike for them: "Introduce yourself,
Albert, the Society for the Demonics...is a scholar, a scientist- do you know what science is, do you?"
