Chapter 237 Another Door

Chapter 237 Another Door
Located in a closed room in the basement of the Time Gathering Hall.

Old A stared straight at a door in front of him.

This door is a separate door frame and door panel standing in the center of the room. It looks very shabby and seems very abrupt compared to this closed room. This basement has no decoration and the walls are rough cement surfaces, while the door frame and door panel are very exquisite. If you look closely, you can even see some patterns on them.

Besides Old A, there are three other people here.

They are all members of the Time Elders Council and the real core of the Time Gathering House.

Some people believe that these members of the Elders' Council have preserved the memories of hundreds of cycle days, but in fact, the truth is even more exaggerated than they think.

"Old A, normally, we only need to take turns guarding this door. What happened this time? Why are all the people gathered together? Did something happen?" someone asked.

Mr. C, a core member of the Time Elders Association, met Mr. A 4300 cycle days ago.

"Yes, Old A, we have taken turns guarding this door for more than 1500 cycles. You said that this was left by No. , and we believe it, but what is the use of this door? For such a long time, we are not allowed to touch it, let alone open it. We just guard it like this. Oh, by the way, there is no sound from this door. To be honest, it is boring to death to guard here alone for a whole day." The speaker this time was Mr. W, also a member of the Elders' Council.

"Old A, our Time Elders Association was full of talented people back then, with twelve core members alone. But now, there are only four of us left. Guarding the gate is one thing, but some people can't stand the loneliness, and some people don't see hope and choose to give up. We are also a little tired."

"Number one appears!" Old A didn't wait for Mr. Z to finish his words and said something directly. It was like pouring a bowl of water into hot oil, and everyone was shocked.

"Who, who are you talking about?"

"Old A, this is not a joke, is it really number one?"

"Isn't it possible that Number One has lost his memory? No, under normal circumstances, he must have lost his memory, otherwise there would be no news. So, even if it is the same person, it is not Number One, because Number One is not a body, but a memory."

"I said, number one appears, then number one appears." Old A was very sure, and this time the other three people no longer questioned him. They looked surprised, and immediately came forward to surround Old A. Several people put their arms around each other's shoulders, formed a circle, then bent down, huddled their heads together and talked in a low voice.

"You saw Number One with your own eyes? What did he say to you?"

"I didn't see him."

"What? You just said."

"Number One, left us a message. It's on the mission wall at the Time Assembly Hall."

"A message? How can you be sure that it was a message from number one? It could have been written by someone else, or it could have just been a coincidence."

"It can't be a coincidence. That is content only I know. In short, I can be sure that it was a message from No. 1. It may not have been written by him personally, and someone else may have delivered it on his behalf, but it must have been No. 1's intention, even though No. 1 has lost his memory now, or this was just a plan he secretly arranged a long, long time ago." After listening to what Old A said, the other people were not as excited as they were at the beginning.

"Old A, have you ever thought about whether all this makes sense? The promise made by No. 1 has not been fulfilled until now. Many brothers have lost hope and left, and some even..."

"Then it's not Number One's fault. It's their own fault. I notified you to come here just to tell you this. Number One said at the beginning that no matter how long it takes, if I hear or see that keyword, it means the plan has begun. From now on, the few of us will stay in front of this door and wait!"

"What if I can't wait?"

"I believe I can. If you can't wait this cycle day, I will continue on the next cycle day. If one day you give up, I will continue to wait alone until..."

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door in the silent room.

The four people were startled and stunned.

They looked at each other first, then turned their heads together and looked towards the door.

dong dong dong~
It was confirmed that the knocking sound came from that door.

In an instant, several people, including Old A, felt as if they were electrocuted and got goose bumps all over their bodies.

Shock, excitement, thrill, and a hint of fear.

"Number One didn't lie to us!" Old A said in a low voice, and you could hear his voice trembling.

This time, none of the other three people objected, but instead nodded seriously.

"Do you remember what we are going to do?"

"I can't forget it. It's all engraved in my memory."

"Let's start!" Old A took the lead and walked over. He stood in front of the door, took a deep breath, raised his hand, and knocked lightly on the door panel.

Morse code is used, a combination of long and short sounds, and the rhythm of the tapping can also be used to distinguish them.

One long note and four short notes, followed by four short notes and one long note, two short notes and three long notes, and five long notes.
When he reached this point, Old A stopped.

He was anxious and waiting.

Before, he had punched in four numbers, 6420, but there was another number, a total of five digits, but the last number, Number One said, the person on the other end of the door would knock.

If you knock it right, you can continue. If you knock it wrong, the door will be destroyed immediately.

So what happens next depends entirely on how the other side responds.

After a few seconds.

There was a knock on the door.

Morse code with only one number.

One long note and four short notes!
Represents the number 6.
64206, Cocoon Breaking Plan!
"That's right!" Old A's excitement at this moment was beyond words. He felt that at this moment, his life truly had meaning.

In his opinion, too many days of waiting, day after day, could make even the most determined people waver and doubt.

He also had doubts and wavered.

However, he was very determined and persisted.

Number One is a kind of belief to him, a true "mentor".

So he always believed what Number One said.

At this moment, all the waiting has paid off.

The other three people were also very excited, and some even cried. Tears flowed freely, but they dared not make any sound and held them back.

Old A also wanted to cry, but he had more important things to do.

Number One's plan to break out of the cocoon was to send a string of numbers through this door.

As for the specific purpose of this string of numbers, they didn't know, but the core members of the Time Elders Council had memorized this string of numbers and kept it in mind.

Members of the Senate must bear a [contract], which is to keep secrets and fulfill their mission.

If you want to get out, it's easy. Take off your card ring, give up all your cards, and then commit suicide!

Amnesia is the only way to escape from the [Contract].

The other members of the Council of Elders who left all left using this method.

But even so, there are still people who can't stand it and would rather give up their memories and leave.

"If they knew that waiting was meaningful, would they regret their original choice if they didn't know?"

Old A sighed in his heart.

And his hand continued to knock on the door panel. It was a very long set of numbers, 256 digits. The arrangement of these numbers was the most core secret of the Time Elders Council. At the beginning, only the twelve of them knew it.

It took them a long time just to remember this 256-bit number.

After that, the Time Elders Council completely disappeared. This organization, which was at its peak thousands of years ago, almost gave up its development in a short period of time and kept a low profile. The members of the Elders Council could enjoy sufficient [Memory] supply. They did not need to do anything but guard this door and constantly consolidate that long string of numbers.

Going through thousands of cycles like this would indeed drive a normal person crazy.

The most terrifying thing is that if you start to waver and doubt about this matter, your faith will collapse almost in an instant.

So, some people quit and would rather commit suicide and lose their memories than continue to suffer. Despair is enough to kill any rational person.

Unless you are crazy!
Next to them, Mr. C and a few others were constantly reminding and correcting the numbers. They were like a whole at the moment. If Mr. A got tired of typing, someone else would take over. They had to stay highly focused because they were not allowed to type a wrong number.

Each number in Morse code needs to be tapped five times, so for 256 numbers, that's 1280 taps.

It doesn't seem like much, but since you can't make a wrong choice, it's extremely energy-consuming.

It took a full hour to type out all the numbers in Morse code.

After typing the last number, Lao A and his friends were all sweating and almost exhausted.

"over!"

Finally, there is a four-letter code, which is also necessary to indicate that the information has been transmitted, avoid misunderstandings, and ensure the integrity of the information.

After that, it was as if a few people had completed a mission.

They sat on the ground in silence.

"Number One said that when this is done, this door should be destroyed immediately." Mr. C said, opened his card book and took out a card from it.

[Burn] requires three [Mana] cards to activate and can burn the target with flames.

This is a very powerful offensive card, and it is very suitable to use it to destroy this door at this moment.

Several people looked at Old A. After all, this matter also required his nod.

The latter had a look of relief on his face and was about to nod when at this moment, there was another knock on the door.

It's still a string of Morse code.

It turns out to be a few letters.

'who are you?'

"Who are you?"

Old A and the others were all stunned.

Number One did not mention this situation.

Mr. C didn't know whether to activate the [Burn] in his hand. He glanced at Mr. A and whispered, "Give me a definite answer. Burn or not?"

"You, wait a minute!" Old A seemed to have made an extremely difficult decision. He took a deep breath, walked quickly to the door, and knocked in response nervously.

"I'm A, who are you?"

This time the response from the other side of the door was faster.

"Hello, A, I'm LX!"

After Lao C and the others interpreted this passage, their expressions were strange.

"What does LX mean?"

"It's Number One. Number One's earliest code name in the Elders' Council was Mr. L. Quick, burn it, burn it."

At this time, Old A remembered the order left by No. 64206, which was to connect the secret after hearing the knock on the door, and then pass the string of numbers, and then immediately burn the door.

They had already broken the rules by not burning it immediately, and even had a conversation with the being on the other side of the door.

Doing so may lead to unpredictable consequences.

"Burn, burn it immediately!" Old A was almost roaring at this moment, and Mr. C immediately activated [Burn]. The next moment, the raging flames instantly engulfed the door.

More knocks on the door could be heard faintly in the flames.

But this time, it was so chaotic and disorganized that it made people's scalps numb.

It seems that letters and numbers such as 'V' and '4' can be interpreted.

In the flames, the wooden door made strange crackling sounds, and just when Old A and the others had just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly, a horrifying scene happened.

bang~
Someone was banging on the wooden door.

"Have you come up with anything?" Mr. C's eyes widened. At this moment, he felt an unprecedented fear.

What exactly is the number that Number One asked them to pass on, and to whom?

According to No. 1, the Cocoon Breaking Plan is the most important step towards liberation from confinement. So, is No. 1 lying?
At this moment, even Old A had doubts in his mind.

bang~
The banging sound came again, along with the sound of the wooden door cracking. There was no doubt that no matter what was on the other side of the door, it would be able to break out next time.

Just as Lao A and the others were waiting for the next impact, suddenly the ground shook and a loud noise seemed to be heard in their ears. Then, everyone fell into darkness.
