"Hmm … This trick might work on female players who are overflowing with love." Feng Bujue moved his gaze away from the newspaper and glanced at the monkey in the cage. "If necessary, even in real life, I will not hesitate … Furthermore, this is just a game." He put down the newspaper and seemed to have lost interest in the content. "But … since it has given me a more accurate weight, it should be a hint."
He walked to the machine, squatted down, and leaned his face close to observe it closely. He walked around the machine and then used his fist to knock on the casing of the machine and used his feet to kick it twice. Obviously, the outer shell of this machine was not just a layer of iron sheet, but a very strong iron plate. The screws at the joints were very tight, and it was impossible to open it with bare hands. It was also impossible to move it with one's strength.
There were no obvious gaps on the surface of the machine, and the two gauges were fixed firmly. With less than three minutes left, it would be futile to try to find a loophole in the machine.
Therefore, Feng Bujue went to pull on the iron cage that held the monkey a few more times. It was really welded shut and would not budge. He looked around the room. Other than the four walls, there was nothing else.
He walked back to the center of the room, picked up the doll, and sat on the small wooden chair. Because the chair was very small, Feng Bujue sat in a squatting position.
"If I want to pass through this room without killing the monkey … other than the 7.5 kilograms of the chair and the doll, I have to find another 7.5 kilograms of object." He placed his right elbow on his knee, tilted his head, and tapped his forehead with his index finger and middle finger.
"That Walkman weighs at most one kilogram, not to mention the syringe. My clothes and running shoes are restricted by the system, and I can't take them off. Hmm … I suddenly miss that rock. At least one or two kilograms." He smiled and said, "Then … in this empty room, there is only one thing that can move …" He raised his head and looked at the lighting equipment above his head.
It was a suspended fluorescent lamp. The lamp tube was about one meter long and was embedded in a plastic lamp shell. It was suspended from the ceiling by two wires. The wires were wrapped around the two wires used for suspension.
The ceiling of this room was much lower than the outside, but it was still about four meters high. The hanging lights were not close to the ceiling, but they were also not at a height that Feng Bujue could reach.
He stood up and stepped onto the wooden chair. He stood on his tiptoes on the small stool and stretched out his arm to measure the distance. His fingertips were still about a foot away from the lamp. This distance was neither too long nor too short, but it was just out of reach. The chair under his feet was very small, and it was very difficult for him to stand on it with his feet together. It was obviously impossible for him to jump up and down and reach out to grab the thing above his head.
Time was ticking, and Feng Bujue only had seventy-three seconds left.
After measuring the distance with his hand, he turned back to look at the timer. Then, he actually laughed and said to himself, "It's going to be very difficult right from the start … Heh … That's exactly what I wanted."
After Feng Bujue thought for a moment, his gaze moved back to the doll. He seemed to have thought of a solution. He quickly ran over to pick up the doll. He took off the black suit on the doll and held it in his hand. Then, he returned to the wooden chair and stood still. His left hand grabbed one of the sleeves of the suit and swung it up.
Although the suit was only a child's size, it was enough to go over the lamp. Feng Bujue raised his right hand and pulled on the other sleeve that went over the lamp. The suit was now like a rein over the horse's mouth. Feng Bujue pulled on both ends with both hands and pulled hard. One of the wires on one side of the lamp was broken. One end of the fluorescent lamp's shell was hanging down, and the other end was still hanging by the wire. It swung around under the ceiling like a hanging sausage.
Now, Feng Bujue could directly grab the lamp. The lamp had a plastic shell on three sides, so he did not have to worry about breaking the glass. Although the room was dark due to the loss of light, it wasn't difficult to find the floating light tube in front of him. After he grabbed the lamp, he used a bit of force and tore the wire on the other end. He held the one meter long fluorescent lamp in his hand along with the plastic shell.
Since just now, Feng Bujue had been counting the time in his heart. There should be about 35 seconds left. In the darkness, the machine was still running and rumbling. He did not rush towards the sound. Instead, he carefully walked down from the chair and used his feet to find the doll on the floor. After remembering the position of the two things, he counted the steps and walked towards the machine.
It was easy to reach the machine. He could clearly tell the position of the round mouth just by the sound. Feng Bujue retracted his head and extended the lamp into the machine. The two rows of gears crushed the fluorescent lamp and pushed it down through the gap in the middle. Although some small glass fragments sputtered out during the process, Feng Bujue was prepared and was not hurt at all.
After three quarters of the light tubes entered the machine, he let go of his hand, turned around, and walked in the direction he came from. He counted his steps and walked quickly in the dark. He deliberately controlled his steps, afraid that he would kick something he wanted. He didn't have time to lie on the ground and fumble around in the dark.
Unsurprisingly, he gently touched the doll on the floor within ten steps. Time was tight. Feng Bujue quickly squatted down and grabbed the doll with one hand and the small wooden chair with the other. He turned around and ran towards the machine. This time, he did not have to think about turning back, so his strides were big. He reached the machine in a few seconds and hurriedly threw the doll in.
The back of the wooden chair was slightly longer than the diameter of the round mouth. Feng Bujue had already noticed this and kept it in mind. If he did not consider this, he would have realized that the small wooden chair was stuck outside the mouth and could not be shoved in. However, Feng Bujue would not make this kind of mistake. Before he pulled the lamp, he had thought of every step in the dark.
While the machine was still crushing the doll, he grabbed the back of the wooden chair with one hand and tilted it to the ground. He used his foot to stomp hard on it, and the board of the chair was bent out of shape. This small folded stool could be shoved into the round mouth without any effort.
There were only five seconds left in his calculation, and the broken wooden chair was successfully shoved into the machine. Almost three seconds later, the rumbling of the machine stopped. Due to the darkness, Feng Bujue could not see the countdown timer and the meter. He did not know if he had stopped the game because he had satisfied the 15kg weight, or if the machine had stopped because he ran out of time.
The next few seconds were so long and unbearable. Nothing happened. Feng Bujue's heart slowly sank. Was the tube not heavy enough? In real life, this kind of suspended fluorescent lamp would weigh less than 7.5kg, but the thing that he was holding in his hand earlier obviously weighed more than that. He believed that this was the weight that was purposely set by the game. Could it be that the puzzle solving method was wrong? The only way to leave this room was to kill the monkey?
All of his doubts disappeared with a strange click. The door to the next room opened at this moment. In fact, the mechanism only took about ten seconds to activate.
A ray of light shone through the gap, announcing that the game was still going on …
