After reading the plot cards between Li Mo and Cheng Mu, Xiao Lou felt complicated. He didn't know what to say for a moment. He asked him in his heart and put the two plot cards back into the card bag. Yu Hanjiang didn't say anything either.
It suddenly became extremely quiet inside.
After a while, the ace of hearts broke the silence with a smile: "Old rules, you can rest after clearing the secret room of hearts. The rest time given to you this time is still 8 hours. You can take a shower and sleep now. At 8 o'clock in the morning, the alarm clock will sound on time.
Wake you up. When the time comes, please go to the card wall and draw the cards for the next level. I will not accompany you. Goodbye, you two."
Xiao Lou nodded to her: "Okay, bye."
The ace of hearts disappeared in front of him. Xiao Lou looked at Yu Hanjiang and said: "Captain Yu, take a rest for a while."
Although there was a sleeping car on the train these days, they were thinking about the case and did not sleep well. The ace of hearts, the most merciful among the gatekeepers, prepared a simple bathroom and two single beds for them this time.
On the bed, Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou took a bath one after another and lay down on the bed.
Xiao Lou thought of the clips in the plot card and couldn't sleep for a while. Yu Hanjiang couldn't sleep either, so the two simply started chatting.
Yu Hanjiang said: "The Secret Chamber of Hearts and the Secret Chamber of Spades are like two worlds."
Xiao Lou quickly understood what he meant: "Captain Yu means that the Secret Room of Hearts has strict rules. Murder is illegal, and the murderer will be arrested and sentenced... But in the Secret Room of Spades, in order to pass the level, intruders can even do whatever they want.
Massacre of free men?”
Yu Hanjiang nodded and whispered: "Among the four gatekeepers, Hong Tao is the most principled. Zhang Qing, the murderer in the Maplewood High School case, was finally sentenced to death, and the two murderers in the Speed Train case were also arrested by the police.
However, in the secret room of 3 of Spades, free men killed challengers, and challengers massacred indigenous people. No one cared about it at all, and some challengers even directly released zombie viruses in the square in order to pass the level."
Xiao Lou thought carefully for a moment and said: "Perhaps, the ace of hearts governs an orderly world, where people will abide by morals and laws and live a normal life. The ace of spades governs, like a zombie town
, the financial crisis is similar to a doomsday world. In this environment, people will naturally flout the constraints of morality, law and social rules in order to survive, exposing the dark side of human nature."
Although the murders in the Chamber of Hearts are bloody, the final ending always gives people hope and warmth. The world of Spades is extremely dark. People can do anything to survive. Murder does not need to be punished here. The rules of the two types of secret rooms are
Completely different.
Yu Hanjiang frowned and said: "It seems that the City of the Sun and the City of the Moon are probably orderly worlds. The tour groups on the trains and the best friend groups all set off from the City of the Sun, and there are still concerts in the City of the Moon.
Yes, the free people in the two main cities should be able to live normally."
Xiao Lou speculated: "What if the challengers arrive in the main city and discover the beauty of this world and gradually integrate into it, will they not want to go back? For example, if those who cannot afford to buy a house in reality can earn money through the Plum Blossom Secret Room
After getting the money, will you buy a big villa here? In reality, if you can't find a partner, get married and have children here? Will their will gradually be worn away and they will lose the motivation to leave the card world? "
Yu Hanjiang nodded, his face a little ugly: "So, after some challengers arrived in the main city, it was not that they were incapable of continuing to challenge, but that they were used to the life here and did not want to take risks at all."
When the challenger's will is worn away, the belief in "going back" becomes less strong.
Clearing the SS-level secret room is no longer important to them.
The gatekeeper said that if you want to go back, you must pass the SS difficulty chamber. But he did not say that all challengers must go to the highest level chamber.
Xiao Lou said with a headache: "If this is really the case, then I can understand why no one has passed the level despite more than 80 million challengers."
Yu Hanjiang was silent for a moment and said firmly: "Don't worry, I must go back. This world, good or bad, is as unreal as a dream. If we stay here and be assimilated, as time goes by, we may gradually lose our humanity.
."
"That's right." Xiao Lou smiled slightly and said, "Don't be too pessimistic. There will definitely be many people like us in the main city who are determined to go back. Those who can pass the fourth level are not weak.
We might be able to find some stronger partners."
"I hope so." Yu Hanjiang whispered, "Let's rest first. Let's go to the square patch in the next level."
The outside of the personal space completely turned into darkness. A wave of sleepiness came over them, and Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang fell asleep quickly.
A dreamless night.
The alarm clock at 8 o'clock in the morning wakes them up on time.
The two washed up quickly, then walked to the card wall and pulled out the next card - the 4 of Diamonds.
After the familiar dizziness passed, they opened their eyes again and found that the two of them had arrived in a strange space.
The closed room is about 4 square meters in size. The walls and floor are covered with white patterned marble. There is a stone table in front of it, with a scale on the table and an exquisite small wooden box next to it.
A prompt popped up in the floating box in front of the two people at the same time——
Welcome Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang to the secret room of Diamond 4 [Balanced World].
Please unlock the mechanism of the secret room, find the exit, and escape from the secret room within 30 minutes. If the timeout expires, the level will fail.
The secret room does not contain any hidden mechanisms, and there is only one exit. I wish you both good luck.
After the reminder items were swiped, a clock appeared above both of them. At this time, the time pointed to eight o'clock in the morning, and the second hand began to "tick". There was a red scale mark at 8:30, which meant that after 8:30, there was no
If you cannot leave the secret room, you will fail to break through.
Yu Hanjiang was least good at secret rooms with mechanisms. He glanced at the clock, followed Xiao Lou, and said, "Is the mechanism in this room the balance on the table?"
Xiao Lou took a step forward and opened the exquisite wooden box next to him. Sure enough, he saw some silver metal weights the size of a fingernail. The cube weights had the same volume and were marked 1g, 2g, 3g, 4g, 5g, 6g, and 7g.
, digital sign of 8g.
Xiao Lou weighed it with his hands and found that the weights were indeed different. He smiled and said: "Balance the world, this mechanism is a gravity control mechanism. As long as the weight is put on it and reaches the specified weight, the door of the secret room should be able to be opened."
He lowered his head and looked at the numbers on the weights carefully and said: "From 1 to 8 grams, there are a total of 8 weights. If you put 2 and 3 on one side and 1 and 4 on the other, the total will be 5g... But I think
It won't be that simple. It's more likely that the correct solution is to put all 8 weights on it and make the weights on both sides of the scale completely equal."
Although Yu Hanjiang is a scumbag in physics, he still knows how to use a scale.
The balance in physics is similar to the most primitive scale. The object to be weighed is placed on one side and weights of different weights are placed on the other side. When the balance is in a completely horizontal position, it is proved that the weights on both sides are equal, and all the weights are
The weights add up to the weight of the object.
As Professor Xiao said, since the secret room gave eight weights, all eight must be used.
Otherwise, it would be too simple to put 2+3 on one side and 1+4 on the other.
From 1g to 8g, how should these eight weights be placed to make the balance completely balanced?
Yu Hanjiang frowned and was deep in thought. He began to calculate additions quickly in his mind. As a result, before he could finish the calculation, Xiao Lou stepped forward and carefully placed the five weights 1g, 2g, 3g, 5g, and 7g.
On the left, three weights of 4g, 6g, and 8g are placed on the right.
The sum of the weights on the left side of the scale is 18 grams, and the sum of the weights on the right side is also 18 grams.
After a slight shake, the balance reached perfect balance, and the pointer pointed to the middle red scale.
There was a "rumbling" sound in their ears, and the stone wall in front of the table suddenly opened in front of the two of them, a door large enough for them to pass side by side.
Xiao Lou's eyes lit up: "It's done."
Yu Hanjiang: “…………”
Again, while he was still reviewing the question, Professor Xiao had already written the answer.
Out of inertial thinking, Yu Hanjiang thought that four weights should be placed on the left and right scales respectively. He also thought about how to put weights from 1 to 8g so that the weights on both sides are equal.
As a result, Professor Xiao placed 5 pcs on the left and 3 pcs on the right, making both sides exactly 18 grams...
Professor Xiao, who has a flexible mind, can easily beat him in solving this kind of puzzle.
Yu Hanjiang decided to give up thinking and followed Xiao Lou with a serious expression.
After leaving the first secret room, a stone wall erected in front of them, with a straight passage on the left and right.
Xiao Lou went to the left first. When he reached the end, he saw a secret room of about 4 square meters with a scale on the table. But this time, the chips in the box were not weights marked with weights in grams.
Some Chinese characters in cube form.
A 5cmx5cmx5cm cube with twelve Chinese characters written on it——
Yu Hanjiang felt that these words looked familiar and could be composed into a poem. Xiao Lou quickly realized and said: "Twelve words, when combined, are exactly four words for brand names."
He took these words out of the wooden box, rearranged them, and sorted out four word cards——
Butterflies fall in love with flowers, partridges fly in the sky, waves wash over the sand, and the spring breeze intoxicates.
Yu Hanjiang couldn't help but admire Xiao Lou's reaction. He looked at the word card in front of him and said, "What is the relationship between the word card and weight? These character cubes are all the same size, so they should have about the same weight, right?"
Xiao Lou thought about it carefully, picked up a complex character "part" and a simple character "天", weighed them with his left and right hands respectively, and said: "The difference is very small, but the complex characters are obviously heavier than the simple ones. Chinese characters
The weight should be related to the strokes."
He verified the two words again and compared "Tao" and "Hua". The former was obviously heavier than the latter.
Xiao Lou confirmed his train of thought, pointed to the two word cards on the table, and said: "Captain Yu, please count the strokes of these six words, and I will count the remaining six."
Yu Hanjiang nodded and wrote quickly in the palm of his hand while silently counting the strokes of these words. Soon, he came to a conclusion and whispered: "15 paintings for butterflies, 15 paintings for love, 7 paintings for flowers, totaling 30 paintings
"Lang 10, Tao 11, Sha 7, the total is 28 paintings."
Xiao Loudao: "The partridge sky adds up to 30 paintings, and the drunk spring breeze is exactly 28 paintings."
The two looked at each other, and in a tacit understanding, they put the three words "die", "lian" and "hua" in the 30 painting, and the three words "lang", "tao" and "sha" in the 28 painting on the scale on the left, leaving partridge, 鸪, and sky.
The words "Zui", "Spring" and "Feng" are placed on the scale on the right.
Sure enough, after swinging for a moment, the pointer of the scale pointed to the middle, proving that their analysis was correct.
Yu Hanjiang gave Xiao Lou a thumbs up in his heart.
This question is actually not difficult. First, make the messy characters into a word card, and then analyze the strokes of the word card. You will find a balance point - the strokes of the four word cards add up to exactly 30, 28, 30, 28. Put them completely on both sides.
equal.
The traps in Diamond 4 are all scales. Since the theme of the secret room is to balance the world, as long as this balance is found, the trap can be unlocked.
…
After the mechanism in the small room on the left was unlocked, the wall in front of the two people did not change. Instead, there was a "booming" sound behind them, as if the wall somewhere was rotating.
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang quickly turned around and turned back.
They walked halfway and saw a stone door appearing on the wall that had just blocked the passage. But at this time, the door was closed. Xiao Lou said as he walked: "We should unlock the mechanism of the room on the right. This stone door
will open it.”
Yu Hanjiang nodded and quickly followed him.
The two walked to the end of the corridor on the right. In a small room of about 4 square meters, there was also a table with a scale on the table. There were still chips in the box next to it - but this time it was not numbers or characters.
Instead, there are several strange flat shapes.
Xiao Lou picked up those geometric figures, looked at them carefully, and said: "Square, rhombus, triangle... there are only two types of side lengths: 5cm and 10cm. Assuming that the weight of the 5cm line segment is 5g and the weight of the 10cm line segment is 10g, we only need to
The line segments at both ends of the scale just need to be the same number."
Having said this, Yu Hanjiang also felt that it was very simple and quickly cooperated with Professor Xiao to convert the line segments of several figures.
The length of the rectangle is 10cm and the width is 5cm. The weight can be converted into 10+5+10+5=30g.
Rhombus, square, all four sides are 5cm, weight converted to 20g.
Two equilateral triangles with three sides of 5cm weigh 15g.
Xiao Lou placed the rectangle and square on the left balance, and the rhombus and two equilateral triangles on the right balance. The weight on the left and right sides was 50g, and the pointer of the balance accurately pointed to the middle.
The sound of the wall rotating sounded in his ears, and Xiao Lou smiled and said, "It worked."
Yu Hanjiang thought to himself: Professor Xiao is so awesome, he actually thought of converting the length of a line segment into weight. If he were to come up with the 4 of diamonds alone, he would definitely be confused and not know how to arrange these messy geometric figures.
The two turned back to the corridor.
Sure enough, the stone door in the corridor just opened. Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other and entered the stone door.
As soon as they walked in, the stone door suddenly closed behind them.
The two were trapped in a closed secret room.
Xiao Lou quickly looked around. This room was spacious, about 20 square meters. The floor and surrounding walls were all the same white patterned marble tiles. Unlike other rooms with tables and scales, this room was empty. What tools?
There are no agencies.
However, as the two people entered the room, two huge round stones about 2 meters in diameter suddenly rose from the ground.
One stone is red and the other is blue, with scales similar to those on an electronic scale.
Xiao Lou walked to the stones and observed them carefully. Yu Hanjiang also followed and said, "It seems that if you want to get out of this secret room, you can only rely on these two big stones. The scales on them should also be weights, right?"
Xiao Lou nodded and said: "The title of this level is called Balancing the World. The three mechanisms we encountered before are all scales. The first one holds digital chips, the second one holds Chinese character squares, the third one holds geometric figures, and the fourth
There is nothing in this room, do we have to stand on it ourselves?"
Yu Hanjiang said: "Let's try it."
He walked over and stood on the blue stone. The pointer under his feet immediately rotated and finally stopped at: 75kg.
Xiao Lou also turned around and stood on the red stone, with the pointer under his feet fixed on the number 65kg.
There was no response from the four walls, and the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
The two looked at each other and looked at each other.
Xiao Lou said: "We are not of the same weight, so the mechanism cannot be opened."
Yu Hanjiang turned around and said: "Professor Xiao, you are only 65 kilograms? You are a bit thin for your height of 1.8 meters. You will have to eat more in the future."
Xiao Lou smiled and said, "I don't get fat no matter how much I eat. It's probably because of my physical condition."
Yu Hanjiang looked at the scale at his feet and frowned: "I am taller and heavier than you, and there is nothing else in the room. How about... I take off my clothes and let you wear them?"
Xiao Lou shook his head: "The weight of the clothes is not as much as 10kg, so it shouldn't be done this way. If a man and a woman enter this secret room, the difference in weight will be even greater, right? There is no way to balance the electronic scale based on weight and clothes alone.
"
In the empty room, there are no tools except the challenger.
How to balance an electronic scale?
Xiao Lou touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
The author has something to say:
I received a lot of messages from little angels today. I can see them in the background, okay?
How do two people with different weights unlock the balance mechanism? You can take a guess and see you tomorrow!
