Chapter 309: Hidden Message in the Game
Chapter 309: Hidden Message in the Game
Room 303.
This is one of the 10 rooms left after the previous screening.
Except for the five rooms on the first floor and the floors above the fifteenth floor, the rooms on other floors are not locked and can be entered and exited freely.
After Luo Xi entered the room, he walked straight to the desk and looked at the messy table. Among them, two books, "Player's World" and "Memory" were placed there. Both books were opened, and the corresponding pages were 17 and 92 respectively.
After looking at the contents of these two books, Luo Xi pondered for a long time.
Then go out and take the elevator to room 404.
This is also one of those 10 rooms.
Similarly, the two books on the desk are also opened, but the pages are different, corresponding to page 2 and page 104 respectively.
Luo Xi still read the two pages carefully.
Without hesitation, Luo Xi took the elevator again and went to each of the 10 rooms. He recorded the corresponding page numbers and contents of the two books in the remaining 8 rooms.
When going downstairs in the elevator, Luo Xi's eyelids were twitching wildly.
The inner walls of the elevator were all smooth metal surfaces, just like mirrors. At this moment, many of his shadows appeared on the metal mirrors around him. As they went down the floors, these shadows turned their heads to look at Luo Xi. This scene was very strange, because every Luo Xi in the mirror had a different expression, some were shocked, some were ecstatic, some were crying, and some were ferocious.
“So, that’s what happened.”
Luo Xi smiled.
At this time, a projection on the metal mirror next to it asked, "What did you find?"
"plan!"
"Plan?" Another projection seemed to realize something: "You mean..."
"Yes, it's the plan you were thinking of." Luo Xi covered his face with one hand and laughed, as if he had an uncontrollable excitement: "I was pretty good in the past. I could actually think of dividing the plan and hiding it in a difficult decryption game. In this way, even if someone sneaked into this building and saw everything I see at this moment, he is not me. He still can't decipher the key information here. That Zhang Zhe is ridiculous, and that Wei Si is more like a coward. I'm dying of laughter, haha, hahaha~"
Just then, Luo Xi heard the sound of banging on the elevator car.
His smile suddenly stopped, he looked down first, then suddenly raised his head.
Above his head, on the smooth metal ceiling, a projection of himself also looked up at him.
It's just that I've never seen this 'Luo Xi' before.
He looked very old, wore glasses, and was a little unkempt.
The other party stared at him and said, "Have you ever thought that this might be exactly what the other party wants? Instead of alerting the snake, it is better to show weakness, lure the snake out of its hole, and then cut the grass and eradicate the root of the problem once and for all!"
Luo Xi was stunned.
Just then, the elevator stopped and the doors opened.
All the projections seemed to disappear.
Luo Xi has come to his senses from the excitement of learning some secret.
He stood in the elevator for a long time, then looked up: "It is possible, but I have no choice. Whether I succeed or fail, this is a path I must take!"
After saying that, he walked out of the elevator resolutely.
Of the last 10 keys, Luo Xi already knew which one to choose.
The key to this puzzle game is not the key, but finding the room where the key is.
Because each room has 1 or 2 keys, you can use methods similar to room comparison and spot-the-difference games to eliminate similar rooms, leaving only one room key that is different from the other rooms, and that is this one.
Finally, Luo Xi selected two keys.
There are 2 keys in the same room.
After choosing this only unique room, the next step is to choose one of the two keys.
Actually, this is a good choice.
Luo Xi directly used the two keys to try to lock the door of the special room.
If it can be locked, it means that this key is for that room. Naturally, the other key is the "correct key" he is looking for to open the five locked rooms on the first floor.
Now that we have the key, all that's left is to choose a room.
This is the second level of puzzle in this special level scene.
Not only do you have to choose the right key, you also have to choose the right room.
According to Luo Xi's previous analysis, the difficulty of the "scenario game" he designed for himself will definitely not be reduced. Basically, the difficulty will be raised to the highest level.
So there are five rooms and you can't try each one of them with the key.
He only has one chance.
Choose one of five.
Choose wrong, game over!
There are five locked rooms, namely 102 to 106.
The doors of the rooms are all the same, there is nothing special about them.
There was also nothing wrong with the carpet on the floor at the door, and the surrounding walls and lights at the door were exactly the same.
But in fact, there are still differences among the five rooms.
Location, orientation, and direction of the door.
Luo Xi walked around the first floor twice, then used the paper and pen he found in other rooms to draw a floor plan of the building.
The locations of the five rooms and the directions of their doors are marked on the floor plan.
"Wait a moment!"
Luo Xi looked at the floor plan and suddenly found a very critical problem. He should be right to check the possible correct rooms according to the direction, because there are no other clues here. According to the direction and orientation, it is basically the only way to break through.
But here, this method doesn't work at all.
"The building exists in a special space. There is no east, south, west or north. If there is no direction, then this road will not work."
After realizing this, Luo Xi's expression became a little serious.
However, he did not panic at first, but began to look for clues about the location inside the building.
There was no clue on the first floor to indicate the exact location, and Luo Xi recalled carefully and found that there was no clue in the rooms he had explored either.
Here, you can't see the sun, the stars, or any trees, and you don't even know east, west, or north.
After realizing this, Luo Xi sneered: "Sure enough, I knew it wouldn't be that simple. But this actually proves that the method of choosing the correct room must be related to the location and direction."
Next, we need to solve the problem of position and direction.
Luo Xi thought about using the outside, which was the direction of the rear entrance of the Dark Furnace Tavern, as a reference, but when he came out to check, he found a line of small words engraved on the door behind the Dark Furnace.
"The location inside has nothing to do with the outside world!"
If you don't know the level scene and puzzle, and just see this sentence, you will definitely think it is a bit confusing, or just treat it as a deliberately mysterious "hint", and a meaningless one.
But now, this reminder comes at the right time.
However, Luo Xi didn't think that it was correct to rely on the direction of the entrance outside the door to mark the direction inside the building, because doing so would lose the meaning of the existence of that difficult scene puzzle.
Luo Xi looked at the time.
He had already spent nearly three hours in there.
It can be said that time passes so fast that people are unaware of it.
"Qiqi's side should be going smoothly, but she can't delay for much longer."
Luo Xi knew very well that the only reason he had time to solve the problem here was because Lin Qiqi pretended to be him and delayed other people's time.
Otherwise, with Zhang Zhe here, how can I solve the problem?
"The makeup artist's work will last for six hours, and I don't have much time left." Thinking of this, Luo Xi entered the administrator's building again without hesitation.
Obviously, since this puzzle game is designed to be played in a building, the clues to determine the direction can only be found inside.
To determine the direction, there are actually only a few methods that can be used.
"There is no sunlight at all in the building." Luo Xi murmured to himself after thinking for a long time, but at this moment, he suddenly remembered something.
This made him stand up from the sofa immediately.
The last time, that is, when he came here to take away [Teacher Yan], he was on the 72nd floor. At the door of the classroom, he saw an old professor teaching seriously inside, and the sun was shining outside the classroom window.
This meets the condition.
That is, the position of the sun that can be seen inside the building.
"Wait a minute, in addition to the position of the sun, there must also be time. I remember there was a clock on the wall in the classroom, and it was at nine o'clock, nine in the morning."
Luo Xi immediately picked up the floor plan he had just drawn.
The structure of the entire building, from the first floor to the 72nd floor, is actually the same, and the location of the classrooms, the location of the windows, and the position of the sun correspond to the specific time of day.
In less than a minute, Luo Xi marked the corresponding east, west, south and north directions on the floor plan he drew.
This corresponds to the five locked rooms.
Then correspond them according to the eight trigrams and eight gates.
Among these eight doors, the direction of the 'life gate' is the northeast Gen Palace, which corresponds exactly to the position of a locked room on the floor plan.
"found it!"
Luo Xi took the key and walked to the door. At this moment, he rechecked all the previous reasoning processes.
no problem.
So he inserted the key into the keyhole and turned it without hesitation.
Click!
The door lock opened, and Luo Xi pushed the door open and looked inside.
Inside, it looks like a studio.
The area is not big, with a table, a chair, a computer on the table, which is turned on, and messy drawings on the table.
When Luo Xi saw what was inside, he was sure that he had never been here before, but the interesting thing was that everything here gave him an indescribable sense of familiarity.
It felt like returning home.
Luo Xi even walked over and turned on the desk lamp.
That's the interesting part.
The switch of the desk lamp was not easy to find, but Luo Xi turned it on directly as if he had muscle memory.
Then he sat down on the chair.
The height, angle, and body shape perfectly match his figure.
Luo Xi even reached out to touch the armrest of the chair and tapped it subconsciously, and found that there was an obvious groping on the armrest, which was the mark left by tapping with fingers for a long time.
Luo Xi smiled and then shifted his gaze to the computer screen.
