The four of them entered through the main entrance of the building. The first floor was a very spacious space. The floor was paved with marble tiles, and some supporting pillars were arranged in a regular pattern around the floor. Many round lamps embedded in the ceiling lit up the entire lobby.
Looking around, other than the four walls and pillars, there was nothing else on the first floor. Opposite the door, in the middle of the furthest wall, there was a white door.
Since the walls were all gray, this spot of white looked very conspicuous.
"Hmm … There was no hint after we entered," Qiu Feng said.
"At least we can confirm that the Detective Club is not referring to this whole building," Weighty Words said.
Hong Hu looked around. "Then, it should be somewhere in this building …"
Feng Bujue then interrupted. "Is it possible … that the Detective Club is not even inside this building? But somewhere else? "
Hong Hu thought about it and replied, "Hmm … That is indeed possible, but …"
Weighty Words added, "But so far, the introductory cinematic is our only clue. Since the only clue points to this building, there has to be something here that can push the scenario forward."
Qiu Feng added, "Even if the Detective Club is really not here, there should be some hint related to the quest in this building. Or else … wouldn't that mean the system is purposely misleading us? In any case, since I started playing this game, I have not come across or heard of a situation where the system purposely led the players to a meaningless location to make them waste their time and energy. "
"Oh … So, that's why." Feng Bujue acted like he was enlightened, but internally, he thought, Not bad, their analytical skills are quite reliable, and they are quite confident. But … was it really a coincidence that four puzzle-solving players of a certain standard were gathered together? If it is … then what kind of scenario will the system generate to match the difficulty of the players' ability?
Hum!
Suddenly, a strange sound came from behind the four.
They turned around at the same time and realized that the door had been sealed by a blue wall of light.
"So, the exit has been sealed," Hong Hu said.
Qiu Feng scoffed. "Humph … It won't affect the situation that much."
He wasn't wrong. The three strategists all had calm expressions on their faces. They didn't feel the slightest bit of panic because their path of retreat was suddenly sealed.
Weighty Words walked several meters closer to look at the wall of light. "This should not be a physically generated laser." He pointed at the four edges of the wall of light. "There is no device that can generate laser at all."
Hong Hu scratched his chin. "A wall of light that appears out of thin air and attaches itself to a specific area …" His eyes under the glasses glowed. "A supernatural barrier, I wonder if it is magic or …"
Whoosh!
A glowing poker card suddenly flew into everyone's line of sight and hit the light wall.
The Death Poker seemed to have been swallowed, disappearing the moment it touched the surface of the light wall.
After seeing this, everyone's eyes eyes eyes on the wall wall of the man who threw the card, the wall of light, the wall of light.
"To be able to 'swallow' a poker card made from spiritual energy, it is indeed a non-physical energy." Feng Bujue said. "If this is a laser, when my poker card hits it, it will either explode, bounce, or cut. It will not be 'swallowed' like this."
"I say …" Weighty Words looked at Feng Bujue like he did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Before doing something that might be dangerous, can't you ask for everyone's opinion first?"
"What if this wall of light is set to … trigger some kind of destructive mechanism after being attacked or reflect the attack? Then we will all be in trouble," Qiu Feng said.
"Ah … Haha … Sorry, sorry." Feng Bujue said. "Because I heard you guys say that this is not a physical laser, I wanted to test it out … Furthermore, the power of my poker cards is limited."
"Is that a Sorcery Weapon?" Hong Hu did not dwell on what happened earlier but looked at the Death Poker in Feng Bujue's hand with a serious expression.
"Hmm?" Feng Bujue was startled before he replied, "Yes, it is a Sorcery Weapon."
When Qiu Feng and Weighty Words heard that, their expressions shifted slightly.
"Interesting," Hong Hu said. "You said earlier that you are more interested in puzzle-solving, but you have already obtained a Sorcery Weapon in combat."
Facing this obvious test, Feng Bujue's face did not betray anything. His expression was very natural. It did not freeze, and it did not change. He was just reacting normally to Hong Hu's question and replied with a smile, "Oh, about that, I was just lucky. Hahaha …"
It sounded like a perfunctory answer, but it was actually the most logical answer.
The acquisition of a Sorcery Weapon was dependent on luck. Many players with strong combat ability did not manage to get one. Therefore, there was no conflict between 'possessing a Sorcery Weapon' and 'being a puzzle-solving player'.
At that moment, if Feng Bujue gave some kind of explanation for his possession of a Sorcery Weapon, it would be suspicious.
Brother Jue understood it very well … The matter-of-fact tone, the smug laughter, and the meaningless answer, the combination of these three was the reaction that a normal person would have. As for the other answers, most of them had something up their sleeves.
"Hmm …" Hong Hu paused for two seconds before saying, "Oh, that is a good thing. Now that we can't use the items in our inventory, it will be more difficult for us in combat. If you have a Sorcery Weapon, then it will be much safer. " After saying that, he quickly changed the topic. "Then … since the way back has been sealed, we can only explore further, right?"
"The appearance of the light wall basically proves that we are on the right path," Qiu Feng said. "If the Detective Club is inside this building, then there is indeed no need for us to leave."
Weighty Words said, "Let's explore the first floor in detail. Other than that white door, we can see if there are any other hidden entrances."
Hong Hu nodded. "When you explore, please pay attention to the location of the pillars, the texture on the marble tiles, and the length, width, and height of this floor … Even though it might not be useful information, it is not wrong to collect it."
"Understood."
"Understood."
"Haha …"
After the discussion, the four split up again and started to explore the surrounding environment.
But they soon noticed that there was indeed nothing much to see on this floor. Therefore, after about seven or eight minutes, the four of them gathered in front of the white door.
