8, Chapter 008

[Chapter 8, perfect clearance]

Xiao Lou quickly solved the numerical puzzles on the two walls. It only took him 30 seconds. The hour and minute hands on the pendulum clock still pointed to 19:00, and only the second hand pointed to 30 seconds.

He solved two math puzzles in 30 seconds. This is all thanks to Xiao Lou who has played a lot of secret rooms and has rich game experience. He can think of solutions as soon as he sees the questions.

The harvest of two special effect cards made Xiao Lou very motivated. After putting away the cards, he immediately walked to the third wall.

The questions on the third wall are different from the first two.

I saw four black Chinese characters written on the wall——

Tian,wang,屮,日

There are no hints for this question, you can only use your imagination.

The four Chinese characters represent the final password. It cannot be as simple as directly counting the strokes of the Chinese characters. If it is counting the strokes, just write a few words at random, not the four characters on the wall.

If you want to convert Chinese characters into numbers, you must find what they have in common.

Xiao Lou shined a flashlight on the wall, observed it carefully for more than ten seconds, and quickly came to the conclusion——

Don't think of them as Chinese characters, let alone surnames or phrases, but simply think of them as "graphics".

What these four figures have in common is that in the middle of each figure, there is an "axis of symmetry" that can be folded.

Tian, ​​if folded symmetrically from the middle, it will become the number 8.

King, if folded in half from the middle, it will become the number 3.

Hey, after folding it in half, it is the number 4.

Day, fold up and down to become the number 0.

——The four characters all have an axis of symmetry, and they all happen to turn into numbers after being folded in half. This is the "logic" of this puzzle.

Xiao Lou did not hesitate and adjusted the gear on the combination lock to the four-digit number 8340.

As he expected, the crisp sound of unlocking sounded, and there was still a card in the treasure box——

[Tool card; folded paper]

Rarity:a

Description: After solving the Chinese character puzzle in the secret room of Diamond 2, you can get it in the treasure chest.

Note: Have you ever played origami? Use your rich imagination and fold the paper into the shape you want. It can be quickly enlarged and turned into a real object. For example, if you fold a paper boat and put it into the sea, it will become

A small boat. Fold a horse, and you can also have a horse mount. It is not recommended to fold an airplane, because with most people’s origami skills, the folded airplane will easily crash after being enlarged and turned into a solid object.

Number of uses: Such a powerful folding paper, it’s a pity that it can only be used once.

Xiao Lou can only fold the simplest paper airplane. Even if it is enlarged a hundred times, it will not be able to fly with people. He cannot fold other paper planes at all. It is better to put this card away first and wait until he meets someone who is proficient in the origami game later.

Then give it to the other party for use. After all, it is of A-level rarity and has a strong ability to turn into a physical object. It cannot be wasted casually. At critical moments, you can fold a car or a boat to save emergency situations.

Xiao Lou put the "folded paper" card into the card bag and turned around to solve the last puzzle.

There is one treasure box left, open it and you can complete the level perfectly.

He shined the flashlight on the last wall and saw many messy arrow symbols painted on the wall——

←↓→↓←

→↓←↓→

←↓↓→↑←

→↓↓←↑↑

Xiao Lou raised the corners of his mouth slightly at this moment.

He happened to have done this kind of problem.

At that time, he was playing a vampire-themed escape room game with his friends. He encountered similar mechanisms in the secret room, but instead of arrow symbols on the wall, there were English characters, such as rddluu, where u stands for up, d stands for dowm, and l.

stands for left and r stands for right, which also means the four directions "up, down, left, and right".

What is the relationship between up, down, left, and right and numbers?

Just stretch out your finger, follow the rules in the prompts, and write in the palm of your hand and you will know.

←↓→↓←, left lower, right, lower left, written as 5.

→↓←↓→, lower right, lower left, lower right, written as 2.

←↓↓→↑←, the answer is 6; →↓↓←↑↑, the answer is 0.

The final result of the arrow code for this wall is 5260.

Xiao Lou quickly turned the gear of the combination lock to the four numbers 5260, successfully opened the treasure box, and got the last card in the secret room of Diamond 2.

[Tool Card: Four-way Arrow]

Rarity:a

Description: It can be obtained in the treasure chest after solving the arrow puzzle in the secret room of Diamond 2.

Note: It is flexible to use, especially when encountering a maze. You can use arrows to give your teammates some hints to prevent them from going into dead ends. This tool card has extremely high viscosity and can be stuck anywhere on the ground, branches, buildings, etc.

.When the tool card is retained, seven colors can be customized to prevent people with poor eyesight from seeing it.

Number of uses: No limit.

Xiao Lou read the description again and found that the "four-way arrow" tool card mentioned a keyword - maze.

This shows that in future diamond chambers, you are likely to encounter a maze full of traps!

Moreover, this card clearly mentions "teammates", which proves that the maze in the later stage is indeed a mode of multi-person teams to break through levels and multi-line exploration. Perhaps if one person steps on the wrong mechanism, all teammates will be shot by arrows.

hedgehog.

If the Diamond Secret Room develops in the direction of a "mechanism maze", challengers will not only have to find a way out of the maze, use their brains to solve the puzzles, and open the correct mechanism, but they will also have to face possible penalties for opening the wrong mechanism at any time.

Rain of arrows, array of knives, boulders, puddles, poisonous mist, flames... There are so many ways to punish the enemy, and the difficulty of the later stages of the Diamond Chamber will exceed his imagination.

Xiao Lou was thinking, and at this moment, two lines of prompts suddenly popped up in the floating box.

——Congratulations to Xiao Lou for successfully clearing the D-level secret room [Digital Puzzle] in 58 seconds, with a clearance score greater than 99.9%!

——The evaluation of this level is S. If you complete the level perfectly, you will get additional lottery opportunities. Please return to your personal space to settle the rewards.

When Xiao Lou saw the "Perfect Clearance" prompt, he safely pressed the "Exit" option in the floating box and returned to his personal space.

At the same time, Diamond 2 is in the secret room.

Yu Hanjiang looked at the pile of equations on the wall and frowned slightly.

He hates mathematics the most. When he sees something like 4894=1236, he just feels a splitting headache.

At this moment, a large red letter suddenly appeared in the floating frame above the head——

Congratulations to the challenger [Xiao Lou] for perfectly clearing the Diamond 2 Secret Room [Digital Puzzle Picture] in [58 seconds], setting a new Diamond 2 Secret Room world record!

Yu Hanjiang, who hadn't solved a question for a minute: "..."

After entering the secret room, moving in front of the four walls and turning the password gear all take time. It takes 58 seconds to complete the level perfectly and solve four questions. In other words, Xiao Lou’s average time to solve each question is no more than 10 seconds.

bell.

Isn't this Xiao Lou's speed at cracking digital mechanisms too fast?

Yu Hanjiang frowned and looked at the announcement again.

Xiao Lou, whom he knew, was a professor in the Department of Forensic Medicine of the Medical University.

He first came into contact with it because a girl from the Medical University fell to her death. During the investigation, she heard from her classmates that her last class happened to be Professor Xiao's. The students spoke highly of Professor Xiao. Yu Hanjiang initially thought that he was highly respected by the students.

Professor Xiao should be an old expert in his forties or fifties - I didn't expect Xiao Lou to be so young.

It happened to be raining on the day Xiao Lou came to the police station to take notes.

The man's black hair was soaked by the rain and stuck to his ears, making his face very handsome. His eyelashes were long and thick, with some rainwater on them, and there seemed to be a layer of water floating in his black and clear eyes.

Gentle water light.

He was wearing a white shirt, and the clothes that were soaked by the rain clung to his body, but he did not look embarrassed at all. The man's posture was always upright and upright. He had a very clean temperament and smiling eyes, which made people look at him at first glance.

I feel friendly.

Yu Hanjiang has come into contact with people from all walks of life. Xiao Lou's temperament is undoubtedly unique - gentle, graceful, and talented. These are the students' evaluations of him. Students at the Medical University regard him as a male god. It is said that his

Every class was packed, and in a university with a very serious truancy rate, students from other departments actually came to observe his class.

During the process of taking notes, the man was always calm and composed. It was obvious that he had extremely high psychological quality and was very well-educated.

Yu Hanjiang's first impression of him was very good.

The case of the girl falling from the building was quickly investigated. I thought that the two would never meet again, but the crime team happened to encounter a poisoning case of a vicious nature. When Yu Hanjiang sent the poison to the forensic identification center, he met Xiao Lou again.

The two became familiar with each other because of the poisoning case and became friends with each other. Xiao Lou helped a lot during the investigation of the case. Yu Hanjiang originally wanted to invite him to dinner, but as the Spring Festival was approaching, the dinner was postponed until Xiao Lou came back.

Unfortunately, on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Yu Hanjiang did not have time to meet Xiao Lou...

The familiar name suddenly brought countless memories to his mind. Yu Hanjiang took a deep breath and quickly calmed down.

Being able to pass through the secret room of the digital mechanism perfectly in 58 seconds is obviously a master who often plays digital reasoning games - could this Xiao Lou be the same person as the young forensic doctor he knew? Yu Hanjiang couldn't be sure.

He only knew that Xiao Lou was well-received in school, but he had no idea whether he often played puzzle games in private.

Perhaps, we can find an opportunity to get in touch with Xiao Lou in the future?

Yu Hanjiang put away the chaotic thoughts in his mind and continued to focus on the mathematical puzzles on the wall.

***

Xiao Lou, who returned to his personal space, also saw the news that he had "refreshed the Diamond 2 secret room world record".

He was a little surprised.

A question in 10 seconds is a normal operation for him. After all, he has played too many escape room games, and the most common mechanism in the secret room is the digital mechanism.

Perhaps among the people who come to the card world, there are relatively few people with as strong a mental endurance as him, and it is even rarer for people who often play digital puzzle games, so he was allowed to take advantage and set a new world record?

The question in the secret room of Diamond 2 is actually not difficult. Ignore the interference of the ticking sound of the clock, calm down and observe carefully. As long as you find the logic of the numbers, you can get the answer quickly.

Xiao Lou completed the digital themed secret room with a time limit of 15 minutes in just 58 seconds.

What card will be drawn if you complete the level perfectly this time?

Looking at the green word "cleared" in the lower right corner of [Diamond 2] on the card wall, Xiao Lou said calmly: "Where is the gatekeeper of the Diamond Secret Room? Come out and meet him."
