Chapter 1202: Summer’s memories (15)

“Hey! Are you guys alright?” Two seconds after the entrance closed, Xiao Tan’s voice traveled down the corridor.

“It’s nothing at the moment,” Feng bujue quickly replied.

In fact, for the two of them who were in the wine cellar, the closing of the entrance didn’t bring them much fear … Because the headmaster’s office above was also illuminated by flashlights, just like this one. Therefore, even if the panel was closed, visually, they would not feel that it had darkened much. It was just that the ‘bang’ sound that was a little scary, but of course … It was not scary enough to scare Feng bujue.

“Brother Jue! The board closed by itself!” The next second, Xiao Tan shouted again.

“Ah … I guessed it.” Feng bujue replied weakly.

That was obvious. After all, Xiao Tan’s group could not have been the one to shut the door.

“The remote control seems to have lost its function.” A few seconds later, Ling’s voice rang out.

She had obviously tried to open the entrance with the remote control again and had failed.

“Hmm …” At that moment, ghost hunter came to the entrance and squatted down to check.”Touch this board with your hand, and you will get a notification that says [it’s sealed by a dark force].”

Everyone understood the meaning of this prompt. Yingying’s method of opening the entrance had changed.

“Hmph … It seems like we have to split up from here on out.” Feng bujue smiled and told his teammates through the floor,”in any case … You guys should go around and see if there are any events that can be triggered.”

Speaking of this, the first person that Xiao Tan’s group would think of was the ‘mysterious man on the field’.

Thus, the four of them quickly walked to the window and looked out again.

In the end …

“Brother Jue!” In less than ten seconds, Xiao Tan ran back to the top of the entrance and shouted at the people below,”the man is gone!”

Almost at the same time as he shouted, suddenly, from the darkness outside the principal’s office … Came a “whooshing” sound.

“Eh? That …”Brother Jue naturally heard the sound as well, and he said,” …Could it be the sound of the door being pulled open?”

“Er …” Xiao Tan was stunned for a second before he replied,”I think so.”

Without a doubt, the source of the sound was not from the second floor. As there were only two rooms on the second floor (the headmaster’s office and the warehouse opposite it), and they both had open doors, so … The noise just now must have come from downstairs.

“What do we do? Should we go down and take a look?” An Yueqin asked after a short silence.

“Of course. This is obviously the main plot.” Feng bujue continued from under the floor,”since the four of you have already completed the ‘only characters can solve it’ puzzle, it’s fine even if you receive a lunchbox, so … You can go without worry.”

“What about you guys?” Xiao Tan asked again,”do you want … To leave someone here to pick you up?”

“Absolutely not.” Feng bujue replied firmly,”leaving a person here to wait is like leaving a flashlight here to be used for nothing … How is that possible?” He paused for a moment.”You guys go ahead and check on yourselves. We’re fine.” When you guys are done with the plot outside, we might be able to go out. ”

He was right. At that moment, the two teams each had two flashlights. Inside the wine cellar, Feng bujue was holding Xiao Tan’s flashlight, and RUO Yu was holding her own. Xiao Ling and an Yueqin were each holding their own flashlights. Although the power of these four flashlights was different, they were all half-used up … If nothing unexpected happened, these four flashlights would go out one by one in the next ten minutes …

“Okay … We understand.” Several seconds later, Xiao Tan’s group reached a consensus.”Then … Brother Jue, you guys be careful. We’ll be leaving first.”

“Let’s hurry up and leave, stop dawdling. ” There was no sense of danger in brother Jue’s reply. Instead, there was a hint of impatience.

Therefore, the four people outside didn’t have any psychological burden. They immediately left the principal’s office and went back to the first floor.

And Feng bujue and Li Ruoyu were trapped in that narrow, secret wine cellar …

“Is it really good for you to be like this?” About ten seconds later, RUO Yu confirmed that everyone had gone far away before she spoke,”you should have noticed it too … From the moment the entrance was sealed, this place …”

“I know,” Feng bujue interrupted the man.”But I don’t think there is a need to let them know …” He paused for half a second before continuing,”even if we tell them that the air in the wine cellar is almost as dense as gaseous alcohol, they won’t be able to do anything about it. We might as well not tell them … So as to not add to their stress.”

Obviously, both of them had noticed that the situation triggered by the sealing of the entrance was not a change in light, but a change in air. The former would at most cause a little fear, but the latter … Was a kind of physiological effect.

“Then … What should we do now?” RUO Yu said,”are we really just going to wait … Wait for the entrance to open by itself?”

“It’s rare to have such conditions, how about we flirt with each other while we’re drunk?” At that moment, Feng bujue turned his head around and shone the flashlight at his face, revealing a … Hmm … How should he describe it … The word ‘lecherous smile’ was more appropriate.

“Sure! Why don’t you start?” unexpectedly, RUO Yu gave an affirmative response. However, her expression was one of dead fish eyes and a stoic face, and her tone was filled with~sense of mockery.

“Hehe … No problem.” Feng bujue chuckled and then used the tone of a hooligan who flirted with an innocent woman on the street.”Beauty, are you alone?”

“Yup,” RUO Yu replied.

“Hehe …” Feng bujue chuckled.”Do you want to find a place with no one to talk about life with me?”

“Are you talking about what we’re doing right now?” RUO Yu continued.

“Er …” Brother Jue was at his wit’s end. Every time he was in danger, he would instinctively come up with a countermeasure to lower himself further.”Haha … That, why don’t … We do something wet and embarrassing?”

“Did I spit into your mouth?” RUO Yu continued to use her cold tone and sharp reaction to attack brother Jue’s shameless words.

“Hahaha.” Finally, brother Jue sighed.”Okay, okay. I’m not going to joke with you anymore …” When he said that, he finally returned to his normal (relatively) attitude.”Let’s move on.”

Without waiting for RUO Yu’s reply, he turned around and continued to walk forward. In a few steps, he had reached the wall on the other side.

“There’s still a way out there?” RUO Yu asked as she followed.

“There’s no road, but there’s a rather obvious puzzle …” Brother Jue said as he turned slightly to reveal a row of wine racks in front of him.

The wine rack had three levels, and each level had five wooden troughs. At this moment, there were a total of fifteen wooden troughs with five bottles of wine in them. There were two bottles in the first row, which were placed on the far left. The second row had one bottle in the fourth box. There were two bottles in the third row, in the first and fifth squares.

“This …” RUO Yu’s reaction was quick.”It’s a response to the ‘drawing of a tower of Hanoo’ in the female toilet, right?”

“It should be,” Feng bujue replied.

“But … You can also solve this puzzle.” RUO Yu continued,”could it be that Yingluo is a girl in her settings?”

“How could that be … There should only be two hints for the men’s room.” Feng bujue replied,”in my opinion … It’s because it doesn’t matter who uncovers the hint.” He paused for a second and said,”the nine-Palace diagram that is hinted by TIC_TAC_TOE and the hint of ‘pay attention to your feet’… Weren’t they all solved by me?”

“So?” RUO Yu gestured for him to continue.

“So … A hint is a hint. It doesn’t matter who finds the connection.” Feng bujue said,”the key is … At the place that the hint points to, there should be a problem that can only be solved by a specific character.” He immediately gave an example.”For example … A person who can play the piano is required to use the ‘TIC_TAC_TOE graffiti’ hint; To use the ‘careful pool’ hint, a person who knew how to dissect was needed; And to use the ‘pay attention to your feet’ hint, you need a 1.6 meter …”

“Hmm …” Hearing this, RUO Yu said thoughtfully,”that makes sense … The part where the ‘pattern’ was used just now requires a person with strong mathematical abilities.”

“Yes,” Feng bujue nodded.”The thing that the hint points to might not necessarily be something that requires a special skill to deal with, but … When that thing appears, it means that the puzzle that requires a special skill to solve is nearby.”

“I understand.” As RUO Yu spoke, she glanced at the wine rack again.”In that case, you can handle this ‘tower of HANOS’ puzzle.”

“I think so too.” “Help me keep an eye on it,” Feng bujue said.”If there is any monster that comes out from the wall, ceiling, floor, or even from the bottle when I move the bottle, you have to slap it.”

“Alright,” he said. RUO Yu very calmly agreed to this request.

Then, Feng bujue prepared to move the bottle.

However …

“Eh?” He had just picked up the first bottle of wine when he was stunned.

“What’s wrong?” RUO Yu asked.

Feng bujue did not answer. He silently turned the bottle in his hand and showed the packaging to RUO Yu.

“This is …” There was not a single word on the wrapping paper. The brand, name, description, year … There was nothing on it. What was printed on the wrapping paper was a painting.

“Ha …” After some thought, RUO Yu sneered.”So that’s what happened.”

“It looks like that’s the case.” Feng bujue shrugged and placed the bottle back on the rack. Then, he walked around RUO Yu from behind to make way for her.

RUO Yu did not waste any time. She took two steps to the side and picked up the five bottles of wine one by one. She began to identify the paintings on the bottles.

…………

At this point, let’s talk about the rules of the “tower of HANOS”.

This game originated from an ancient India legend, and there was no need to go into detail about the legend … Simply put, the rule was to first set up three pillars and put a number of discs on one of the pillars. The size of the discs had to be from top to bottom, from small to big. The game’s goal was to move all the discs on one pillar to another, while only one disc could be moved at a time and a large disc could not be placed above a small disc.

This wasn’t a complicated game, and most people could quickly find the rules of movement and complete the movement with the shortest steps.

For example, the three floors of the cellar were like three pillars, and the five bottles of wine were like five round plates. But the problem was … How to distinguish the “size”?

The reason why Brother Jue thought he could solve this puzzle was because … He thought he could easily tell the “size” of the five bottles of wine.

However, as mentioned above, when he saw the bottle, he found that the information recorded on the Kasaya bottle was something he could not decipher.

If the information given here was words, numbers, code words, or something like that, or if there was a slight difference in the size and shape of the bottle itself, brother Jue would definitely be able to solve it. Unfortunately … The five bottles of wine were printed with five paintings.

It went without saying that only RUO Yu’s family, who owned an Art Gallery, would be able to rank the five bottles of wine in front of such a prompt.

…………

“Alright, I’ve confirmed it.” In less than two minutes, RUO Yu opened her mouth again and extended her long and narrow finger to tap on the wine bottle in front of her.”There are a few small traps here … At first, I thought they were arranged according to the year of the painting, but I soon realized that this ‘beauty of the harem’ by Douce was created in an unknown era. I could only confirm that it was drawn in the latter half of the 19th century. This is in conflict with alionushka, which was released in 1881. It’s impossible to determine which came first and which came later …”

As she explained to brother Jue, she was already moving the five bottles of wine.

“After that, I considered the size of the painting, the genre, the style, and even the situation of the creator at the time … But some of the information was beyond my knowledge. “So, I changed my train of thought and finally found the problem …”

By then, she had already placed the five bottles of wine into the five slots on the top of the wine rack.

Just as her hand was about to leave the bottle, she heard a “click” and the sound of some kind of mechanism being activated came from the wine rack.

Then, the system notification came.[Transfer the five bottles of wine to the lowest wine rack in the correct way and order.]

“It seems like I was right …” RUO Yu continued,”the five bottles of wine’s original location and distance suggested that the five artists were from three different eras and the order of their deaths. Thus…The basis of ranking these five bottles of wine is the ‘lifespan’ of the five artists. ”

After that, she did not wait for the confused brother Jue to say anything and started moving the bottles according to the rules of the tower of hannota.

Actually, RUO Yu was also a little anxious because … After staying in this place that reeked of ‘alcohol’ for a while, she was indeed a little drunk. Its cheeks were red, and even its head was a little dizzy … This was not a good sign.
