Chapter 407 Find a new way
Qiu Kui spent more than ten minutes exploring the entire first floor hall.
It can be said that there is no road here at all.
Moreover, not only was there no way out, there was not even a way to retreat. This was completely a large secret room. She even checked the ventilation ducts, but they were blocked so tightly that even a mouse might not be able to get in, let alone a human.
“This is an unsolvable problem.”
Qiu Kui retreated back to the hall with a serious expression.
She also drove the shadow she controlled to explore, and the result was the same, there was no way to leave here at all.
"But this is indeed the starting point of a level scene. Since it is a level scene, there must be a way to pass it. In addition, Luo Xi also said that he had passed it before. There is no need for him to lie about this matter."
At this moment, Qiu Kui was aroused by his competitive spirit.
She believed that whatever the other person could do, she could do too.
"One more thing, where are the others?" Qiu Kui didn't think that this was a trap set by everyone for themselves alone, so there was only one explanation, that everyone who entered this scene could only go through the clearance process alone.
It's like it can be divided into many 'copies'.
This makes it impossible to meet other people, so if you want to pass the level, you can only rely on your own abilities.
Qiu Kui thought about it for a long time and made some attempts, but all failed. For example, she tried to open the elevator door, or clear the blockages in the stairs and ventilation ducts, but she soon found that it was just a useless effort.
After realizing that none of these methods were the right answer, Okra became a little impatient.
Fortunately, she calmed down again.
Then she decided to broaden her mind, shift her perspective away from herself, and look at the problem as a bystander.
Sure enough, she made a new discovery.
"If you think of this as a building, then my goal is to go up from the first floor to the second floor. In addition to the conventional ways of going upstairs such as elevators and stairs, there are actually other ways to go upstairs. For example, I can find a way to climb up along the wall from the outside of the building."
Okra looked suddenly at the glass window.
The outside was a piece of wriggling flesh, some of which looked like intestines, and some of which were covered with a lot of fluff.
"If the glass can be broken and at the same time the fear of flesh and blood can be overcome, perhaps I can climb up through the outside of the wall. Moreover, the flesh and blood itself can become a kind of 'ladder'." Qiu Kui was very excited at this moment.
She felt like she had grasped the key to passing this level.
The next step is practice.
Because of the previous investigation, Qiu Kui knew that there was a tool room in the lobby on the first floor. Inside, there were a lot of messy tools, including mops and rags for cleaning, as well as some screwdrivers and hammers for repairs.
The tool hammer can break windows.
Okra shattered a piece of glass easily, and the flesh and blood outside did not invade.
If you observe closely, you will find that the flesh and blood on the outside are not very tight. If you look carefully, you will find many gaps. Some of the gaps are large enough for a person to get in.
After discovering this, Qiu Kui could be sure that this was the key to passing the level.
'Stairs of Flesh and Blood'.
The only thing that needs to be overcome is the fear of these flesh and blood.
Fortunately, Qiu Kui has experienced a lot, so it is not difficult for him to overcome this psychological barrier.
She grabbed the flesh and blood fluff, stepped on the folds that looked like intestines, and began to climb up from the gap between the two lumps of flesh and blood.
This feeling is very wonderful. In addition to nausea and fear, there is also a hint of excitement brought by stimulation.
In a short while, Qiu Okra climbed to a height of five or six meters. There was only one way in this bloody passage, which was to go diagonally upwards. Qiu Okra successfully entered the second floor of the building.
That's a good start.
It’s the same after that, looking for hidden passages. Some can be reached directly by stairs, some require climbing up from the elevator, and some, like before, require finding passages from the outside flesh and blood.
As long as you break through the first step, the rest will seem natural.
It seemed as if in an instant, the difficulty of the scene was reduced.
But this level scene will definitely not be that simple.
Sure enough, when he reached the 5th floor, Qiu Kui saw a man standing in the middle of the hall on the th floor, holding a knife in his hand. Although he lowered his head, it was still obvious that he was wearing a mask.
Murderer!
This kind of thing is too familiar to okra.
To be precise, these murderers are not human beings, but monsters that look like humans, with only killing in their minds and no reason.
It is obvious that this thing was created by some unknown force during the days of confinement.
After entering the 5th floor, the murderer here immediately pounced on us.
However, after hundreds of repeat days, Qiu Kui is no longer the female assistant in the crew.
At this moment, she was motionless, and with just her shadow, she controlled the murderer. Then, within the ten seconds when the other party was unable to move, she calmly took the knife from his hand and stabbed it into his heart.
It can be said to be an easy win.
There is even a rare kind of elegance.
Looking at the murderer lying on the ground and the [Memory] reward she received, Qiu Kui was actually a little dazed. She thought of the day that changed everything for her. The murderer who seemed so terrible to her would be slaughtered by her easily one day like an animal to be slaughtered.
"I am different from before. I have changed a lot."
Qiu Kui sighed.
Obviously, to clear this scene, it is far from enough to just find the way up. You also need to have the ability to fight the killer alone, and that's not all.
Afterwards, Qiu Kui encountered two additional challenges on the 10th and 15th floors respectively.
One is a gamble, the other is a puzzle.
The gambling game is the simplest form of poker, called "Pulling the Train".
A deck of cards is shuffled and divided into two equal parts. Two people each hold one part and place the cards down one by one. If they encounter cards with the same number, they can take away all the cards between the two cards. This continues until one of the parties has used up all the cards in his hand, and then the winner can be determined.
Of course, Qiu Kui has also played this kind of game before.
If cheating is eliminated, that is, secretly changing the order of the next card, then winning or losing will depend solely on luck.
But there is another possibility, that is, both parties are secretly cheating.
As a result, the way of playing this time is exactly this kind.
Qiu Kui was certain that the guy betting against him was cheating. In fact, when placing the cards, he chose to play the first card in the normal order or the first card in the reverse order.
As long as you move quickly, others won't be able to see it.
However, even if it is cheating, there is a prerequisite, that is, at least you need to know what your first and last cards are, and what cards may be in the next few cards. So even if it is cheating, it requires skills and memory.
The most important thing is that it is impossible to determine the winner of this "pulling the train" game in a short period of time. In other words, each player may collect the pulled cards more than once. Therefore, it is basic to remember all the orders while placing the cards in hand.
Without this, the game cannot be won.
It can be said that this very simple poker game tests acting skills, cheating skills and memory. A slight mistake may lead to failure, especially when the opponent intercepts the anchor cards you have laid halfway, then you may suffer a complete defeat.
Fortunately, Qiu Kui is no longer the rookie she used to be. The experience she has accumulated over hundreds of cycles allows her to win the game relatively easily.
The puzzle on the 15th floor didn't bother her for long.
There is no host for this puzzle, only a clue board and corresponding tools.
There are 12 lights in a row.
The prompt board says: 12 lights, all off. Each light has a switch. Press the switch, and if the corresponding light is off, it will light up; otherwise, it will turn off. You are required to press exactly 5 different switches at a time. How many times do you need to press them to make all the lights light up? Please try it out. If the number of presses is not the minimum, the challenge fails.
Obviously, this thing cannot be tried.
Only one chance.
If we ignore the condition that the number of times is the minimum, it is actually very easy to do.
But after considering this, you need to think carefully.
Although the prompt board does not specify what will happen if the challenge fails, it is obvious that if you fail, you will probably be killed immediately.
Okra began to think.
She had to hurry because Luo Xi had made it clear before that the time she reached the finish line would be counted in the ranking.
For things like this, of course the higher the ranking, the better.
But if you only consider the time, you will create huge psychological pressure on yourself, and it is easy to make mistakes in answering the questions in a hurry, which will turn out to be counterproductive.
So Qiu Kui calmed down and was not disturbed by the time limit, but solved the problem very seriously.
About five minutes later, Okra had the answer.
To be on the safe side, she did not try it immediately, but instead re-deduced and calculated it. Only after she was sure that it was correct did she start the actual operation.
她将12盏灯编了号，从1到12，因为每一次操作，都需要按下刚好5个开关这个条件，所以，她第一次将1、2、3、4、5打开；第二次将6、7、8、9、10打开；第三次将7、8、9、10关闭，11打开；第四次将7、8、9、10打开，12打开。
In this way, all 12 lights were lit up, and he only performed 4 operations.
In Qiu Kui's opinion, this is the minimum number of operations, and it is impossible to be less than 4 times.
Sure enough, after the lights came on, the elevator door at the back opened with a ding.
Okra walked in.
This was just an ordinary elevator, and it was obviously programmed. After she got in, the elevator door closed and started to move upwards.
Suddenly, she realized something and her face changed suddenly.
"No, this elevator may not be the upward passage, it may be a trap. After I solved the problem of the light, I arrogantly thought that this was the reward for answering the question, but I have no evidence. At least I have to explore the tenth floor first."
As soon as the thought came to my mind, the elevator suddenly rumbled and shook, and then it fell rapidly downward as if in free fall.
Okra just felt his scalp tingling.
She wanted to calm down and think of a solution, but there was simply no time.
Amidst the chaos, astonishment and panic, the elevator landed heavily on the bottom floor. After a loud noise and impact, Qiu Kui fell into darkness.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already the beginning of the next cycle.
