"The smell of formalin didn't come from behind the door, but from the surface of the door." About ten seconds later, Xiao Ling turned on the oil lamp again (because there wasn't much information on the door, anyone could memorize it after looking at it for a few seconds) and said, "But … under normal lighting, we can't see the liquid on the door."
"That's not right … formalin has no color," Xiao Tan said. "And it wouldn't be in the dark …"
"There's nothing strange about it," Feng Bujue interrupted him. "This means … the liquid on the door isn't formalin."
"No way … I'm familiar with this smell. It shouldn't be wrong, right?" When Xiao Tan said the second half of the sentence, he started to lose his confidence.
"Because you have more experience with formalin, so … when you smelled a pungent odor like this, you subconsciously brought that experience into your mind and came to the wrong conclusion," Feng Bujue said as he walked to the door and leaned closer to take a look.
He turned his back to his teammates mainly because he didn't want them to see the "black stream" in his eyes.
"This liquid isn't a chemical agent, but the body fluid of some kind of creature …" Brother Jue shared the information he obtained from the data. "Hmm … It should be the venom secreted by some kind of reptile … It contains something like melittin, so it turns green in the dark."
After saying this, he stopped his observation and turned around. "Of course … that's not the point." He paused. "The point is … the information described by the venom — the meaning of [20], [19.2766]."
"Could it be … the coordinates?" Buu immediately asked.
"I've considered this possibility, but there's a problem …" Feng Bujue continued. "Assuming these two numbers really represent a certain coordinate, why is one a whole number and the other accurate to four decimal places?" He glanced around the room. "According to my observation, the length and width of this room are about 6.2 meters and 5.1 meters respectively. If these two quantities are accurate to centimeters, it's about 620 and 510. To mark the coordinates in this range … Is it necessary to use four decimal places? "
"Hmm … You're right …" Buu nodded.
"Other than that …" Feng Bujue walked to the corner of the room. "Assuming that the analysis of the coordinates is correct, theoretically speaking, there are four places that the 20 and 19 points to, in other words, four areas that are half a step away from the four corners of the room." As he said this, he stomped his feet hard, and the floor under his feet made a few muffled sounds. "Hmm … Anyway, the floor under my feet is solid."
Seeing this, Xiao Tan, Buu, and Ub also walked to the other three corners of the room. They stomped their feet in similar places to test. Nothing out of the ordinary happened.
"So … I'm afraid the coordinate theory is wrong." Feng Bujue shrugged. "Let's think about other possibilities. For example, 20 minus 19.2766 … equals 0.7234. Maybe this number …"
"I got it!" Suddenly, Xiao Ling interrupted Brother Bujue. "It's the coordinates."
"Huh?" Feng Bujue was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
"It's simple, multiplication." Xiao Ling answered. "20 multiplied by 19.2766 equals 385.532. Since the two sides of the room are smaller than 510, using large numbers like 385,532 … theoretically, there are only two coordinates." She stomped her feet. "One of them is right under my feet, and the other one …" She pointed to the other side of the room, where the coordinates were symmetrical to the one she was standing on. "And the other point just happens to correspond to the two doors …" As she spoke, she walked around the table. "Using the width at the bottom of the two doors as the base, a perpendicular line extends outwards from each point. The two lines will intersect at 385,532."
She stood still and looked at her teammates.
The five of them were silent …
After a while, Buu said, "No wonder she's Teacher Jue's partner … Even her puzzle solving skills are so profound …"
Ub nodded. "No wonder she's Teacher Jue's partner … Her calculation ability is so much better than a normal person's …"
"Hey! What does this have to do with him? I'm the one who solved the puzzle, so why are you all praising him? " Xiao Ling yelled. "Also, when you praise him, it's' little by little ', but when it comes to me, it's' little by little '. How come it's such a disgusting term like' little by little '? This is just middle school mathematics! What's so profound about it? Where did you get the 'little by little' from? "
"Alright … Let's not dwell on the details." Feng Bujue walked over to stop Xiao Ling. "They're only saying that because they admire you." As he spoke, he knelt down on one knee and took out the knife from his waist. "In any case … since we've confirmed the target, things are much easier." He used the handle of the knife to knock on the floor. "Hmm … Based on this sound … there's hope!"
In the next two minutes, Brother Jue took out the WJQ-308 Military Shovel and used it with Bell's Daily Knife. Using both of them, they lifted up the floor.
…
There was a digression here. Actually, it was fine if they couldn't solve this puzzle. Theoretically speaking, even if the players couldn't even see the green words on the door, they could still leave the room. The solution was … a 'carpet search'.
This was a 'dumb method', but it was undeniable that it worked.
In Thriller Paradise's Team Survival Mode (Normal), there was often a situation like this. The players came to a place that required them to solve a puzzle to clear, but the team member who was good at solving puzzles had already died. Then, the remaining people would be stuck in a situation where they couldn't solve the puzzle.
Those who played Escape Room often had similar experiences. Once they got stuck on a puzzle, it would easily lead to a situation where a group of people sat in the room playing on their phones, waiting for the time to run out.
But in Thriller Paradise, what should one do when faced with such a situation? Experienced players knew that using the 'dumb method' to clear the game …
For example, if there was someone who didn't know how to use the 'find and replace' function in a document but wanted to use it, what should he do? The answer, of course, was to use the naked eye to find the content that needed to be replaced one by one and manually delete them one by one.
The end result was the same. To put it bluntly, it was just a little more complicated.
…
"Okay, it's done." After Feng Bujue lifted up the floorboards, he saw a rectangular box. As he expected … there was a key hidden inside.
This time, he picked up the key and walked to the door without the words. "I believe … this door still won't open." When he said that, he gave it a try, and the key did not match the keyhole. "Hmm … I knew it."
Then, Brother Jue walked to the door with the words. As he walked, he said, "Since the clue came from this door, then the item found from the clue will most likely be used to open this door."
He walked to the door and aimed the key at the keyhole again. This time, it went in smoothly.
Kacha!
Following the sound of metal hitting metal, the door was opened, and the key instantly dissolved into white light and disappeared.
"Based on my experience, if the key is a 'consumable item', then the corresponding lock is probably a one-time use item as well." When Feng Bujue spoke, he slowly pushed the door open. "In other words, from this moment onward, this door can be opened at will …"
"Ugh …"
At this moment, a strange moan came from the front of Brother Jue.
He immediately raised his head and focused his gaze …. What he saw was that in the dim space behind the door, there was a translucent white figure …. It was slowly walking over from afar, and that moaning sound was clearly made by "it".
"Hmm … This is probably a ghost …" Facing this creepy scene, Feng Bujue just calmly muttered. He took out his [Compound Anti-Gravity Catapult] and walked forward.
However, the moment he turned on the searchlight, the white shadow suddenly disappeared.
Under the illumination of the searchlight, the scene behind the door was revealed. It was just a room about the same size as this one.
But the place where the white shadow stood just now was clearly ten meters away.
"Is it some kind of illusion?" As Feng Bujue mumbled to himself, he walked forward into the room. "Or … this' space 'will undergo some kind of change due to light …"
Brother Jue's teammates did not see the white shadow clearly, but they all heard the moan. After a few seconds of hesitation, they stepped forward and prepared to follow Brother Jue into the door.
But unexpectedly …
Bang!
At this moment, the door closed on its own.
