Chapter 258: Circus Escape Room 05
Not long after Wu Xiajiu finished telling the information he knew, he finally found another door in a corner, where it was blocked by piled dolls.
The height of this door is only up to a person's waist. If the door is opened, one has to bend down and climb in to get out.
Wu Xiajiu finally said to Fang Zi on the other end of the walkie-talkie: "The puppeteer Derrick's ability is to control the puppets he made himself."
"The magician Paul's ability is also very obvious. Remember, don't be fooled by magic."
The circus secret room that Fang Zi and the researcher are now experiencing is indeed very magical.
Therefore, after hearing Wu Xiajiu's words, Fang Zi and the researcher nodded cautiously and answered, as for the architect who was talking to the researcher.
He's doing alright, the circus back room he's been through has a very hungry lion on a leash.
The lion's neck was locked by an iron chain, but the iron chain was connected to the top of the circus tent, and there was a cutting machine at the top, which was activated after the architect came in, and slowly cut towards the iron chain.
In addition, this circus secret room is full of animal specimens, hanging on the tent wall, placed on the ground, etc. There are two doors in the secret room, one on the left and one on the right, in the middle of the tent wall, You need to climb a ladder to get to the door.
There is only one ladder in the secret room, and the ladder is also locked by an iron chain. This iron chain has a lock, but it needs a key to open it.
So, the architect at this moment needs not only to find the silver box before the lion's chain is cut by the cutter, but also to find the key that locks the ladder's chain.
In this way, he can move the ladder to reach the door in this circus secret room, open the door again, and escape from it.
There are no NPCs in the circus backroom where the architect is.
Wu Xiajiu speculates that this should be the death chamber of the animals trained by the circus. The trained animals, participating in circus performances, were injured or died of old age were all made into specimens, and then the circus took these animal specimens. They were all put into this secret room, and the watchman was a hungry lion.
This kind of secret room that needs to be quickly found and decrypted is suitable for new passengers like architects.
After all, reincarnation trains pay attention to "fairness", and it is impossible to give new passengers a certain death, so that new passengers have no hope.
And this secret room, or the secret room experienced by researchers and architects, is looking for hope of survival in fear and death.
The architect is racing against the cutting machine, so the researchers no longer talk to the architect, for fear of delaying him.
With the sound of the door being opened by the temple master over there, the green light on Fang Zi's walkie-talkie went off, which meant that Wu Xiajiu had entered the next secret room, and he needed to press the button again if he wanted to contact him again.
However, Fang Zi didn't intend to press the button anymore. Since Brother Jiu has some information that they don't know, the most important thing at this moment is to quickly pass the information on to others.
And he already knew, so there was no need to take up contact with Brother Jiu.
Next, it is to break through the level in this circus secret room.
Fang Zi squinted his emerald green eyes, looking around at the small magic room where he and the researchers were reflected, his expression became excited, and even his tone of voice began to rise.
"Let's go, it's time to meet the magician Paul, hehe."
The researcher was stunned when he heard the words, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Fang Zi, but Fang Zi stepped forward at this moment, and the researcher actually felt that his back looked a little impatient.
Thinking of this, the researcher couldn't help lowering his head and pushing his glasses, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. This circus secret room...is really interesting.
……
The difficulty of different circus secret rooms is naturally different, so the time to break through the level depends on each individual's ability.
Tang Yunsi finished his second secret room, opened the door, and met Shi Shangzuo in the third secret room, and this secret room was Shi Shangzuo's fourth circus secret room.
The two were lucky enough to meet in the same secret room, and each exchanged information.
Tang Yunsi obtained an identity card, and Shi Shangzuo also obtained an identity card. After losing contact with Wu Xiajiu, Shi Shangzuo contacted again, but Wu Xiajiu was not connected. Someone else is on the phone.
Tang Yunsi said: "I was talking to Lu Nan before. Before leaving the secret room of the last circus, Lu Nan also found the key."
It is estimated that it should have reached the next circus chamber by now.
So, Tang Yunsi pressed the No. 4 button to contact Lu Nan while speaking. Soon, Lu Nan connected, and the voice came from the walkie-talkie.
But Shi Shangzuo still didn't contact Wu Xiajiu.
Lu Nan asked, "What's the situation in your secret room?"
"This secret room of mine seems to be used by a circus to store sundries. Some abandoned and old things are all here."
"After I entered the secret room, there was a piece of paper under the feet in front of me. There was a question on it. If you solve it, you can get a string of codes, which can be used to open an old safe."
Tang Yunsi: "There should be no silver box in this safe."
Lu Nan: "You're right, this is a secret room with serial decryption, and I need to keep cracking it."
"Presumably the next puzzle is placed in the safe."
"And this circus secret room has a very large scope. There are too many things to count. Naturally, there are even more places where the silver box can be hidden."
If he didn't solve the riddle according to the note, but directly searched for the possible hidden locations of the silver box in this circus secret room, it would waste a lot of time.
But this time happened to be something he couldn't afford to waste right now.
because……
"If I don't find the location of the silver box quickly, this circus secret room will freeze me to death here." Lu Nan said while pressing the intercom, while raising his head to look at the top of his head and the surroundings.
Since he entered this circus secret room, air-conditioning has sprayed everywhere, and soon, some nearby places have been covered with a thin layer of ice.
Lu Nan could imagine that if he didn't move faster, he would definitely be frozen to death here.
But fortunately, besides Tang Yunsi, the person Lu Nan was able to contact and discuss with was Shi Shangzuo.
I didn't expect that the two of them would meet in the same secret room, which must be said to be a surprise.
Thinking of this, Lu Nan glanced at the panda brooch pinned on his left chest, presented by Zhong Nan, and smiled. The national treasure really blessed him, and he was always lucky to accompany him.
Thanks to Zhong Nan for the gift.
Shi Shang said: "You tell me the riddle, and the two of us will help you think about it together."
"Okay." You don't have to be polite at this time, because Lu Nan believes in the abilities of his two companions, especially Shi Shangzuo, they will never lose in the circus secret room.
With the help of the two of them, Lu Nan's speed of solving the problem really increased.
Even more coincidentally, shortly after, Wu Xiajiu dialed Shi Shangzuo's walkie-talkie.
After Wu Xiajiu entered the next circus secret room, he planned to press the button to talk to Lu Nan or Tang Yunsi and tell them the news about the safe house.
By the way, let's see what secret room they are going through, and provide some news about the NPC.
Wu Xiajiu wasn't worried about Shi Shangzuo. After all, Zuo was stronger than him, and he could deal with any secret room with ease.
In this regard, Wu Xiajiu has great confidence in Ah Zuo.
But who knows, neither Tang Yunsi nor Lu Nan's walkie-talkie can dial through.
Therefore, under the premise that the two could not be dialed, Wu Xiajiu pressed the number 7 button to get in touch with Shi Shangzuo.
What surprised him was that Shi Shangzuo and Tang Yunsi actually ran into each other, and Tang Yunsi was still on the phone with Lu Nan.
This is a coincidence.
After briefing each other about the situation, Wu Xiajiu said, "Azuo, what's the situation in the secret room between you and Professor Tang?"
Shi Shang said: "There are also no NPCs in our circus secret room, but this is a completely upside-down secret room."
"The place where Professor Tang and I are standing at the moment should be the only safe platform."
"I guess, once you leave this platform, if you want to get out of this secret room, you have to keep looking for clues, and you can't stop. There are probably traps in this circus secret room."
"Because I haven't seen anywhere else where I can rest..."
However, this circus secret room obviously gave them plenty of time before they left the safe platform, that is to say, they could stay on the platform as long as they wanted.
The setting in the secret room looks like a circus decoration room to Shi Shangzuo, with balloons floating everywhere, a huge tumbler hanging upside down on the top of the tent, and colorful flags hanging on the tent wall.
There are also various decorations protruding on the top of the tent, in mid-air, and in front of them, such as a rotating, toy-like small Ferris wheel, colorful round balls, red toy wooden horses, and small drums There are elephants painted blue, and small unicycles...
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is that in the middle of the entire circus secret room, there is a huge Rubik's Cube that is as tall as a man.
In front of them, there is no ground except for the protruding decorations, and the decorations are a dark, bottomless pit that seems to be bottomless.
Presumably accidentally falling down is a mortal end.
And Shi Shangzuo and Tang Yunsi guessed that the way to pass through this circus secret room was on the Rubik's Cube in the middle.
Shi Shang Zuo said: "The Rubik's Cube has been disrupted, but the color of the squares on it is incomplete."
"The colors pasted on the Rubik's Cube should be iron plates made of magnets."
"Because the Rubik's Cube is also made of metal, and the missing colors are scattered on the various decorations..."
This obviously requires them to jump to the top of each decoration to obtain colored magnet iron plates, then jump around the Rubik's Cube, stick the magnet iron plates on them, wait until all the incomplete colors are found, and then turn the Rubik's Cube so that each Uniform color on one side.
Tang Yunsi said: "We didn't find the door in this secret room."
"Maybe it's hidden behind these decorations, or maybe the door is inside this huge Rubik's Cube, and the silver box is hidden among the decorations."
Shi Shangzuo: "It is also possible that the silver box is hidden in the Rubik's Cube, which requires us to solve the Rubik's Cube first."
"However, Professor Tang and I are not in a hurry for the time being. We will stay on this platform and decipher Lu Nan first."
Wu Xia hummed for a long time.
Lu Nan thanked on the other end of the walkie-talkie.
And at this moment, with the help of Wu Xiajiu, Shi Shangzuo and others, he has already cracked the second clue, and is opening the combination lock with the third puzzle.
In the conversation between Wu Xiajiu and Tang Yunsi and Shi Shangzuo, he did not neglect to help Lu Nan decipher it.
However, this combination lock needs to be manually drawn and pulled on the iron bar that is blocked on it, and it will take some time to unlock it.
It can be seen that if Lu Nan's decryption speed is slow, the iron bars will be frozen, and it will be very difficult to move. Fortunately, he has someone to help, and he is not stupid.
Shi Shangzuo asked, "Xiao Jiu, where's your secret room? What's going on?"
After hearing the words for a long time, Wu Xia raised his head and looked into the secret room.
At this moment, he was standing at the position where he walked out of the door just now, and the door behind him naturally disappeared after he walked out.
And in front of him - is a circus secret room that looks like a hospital, but unlike the hospital that treats people, this secret room is obviously arranged for animal treatment.
This made Wu Xiajiu think of a circus member in the archives, veterinarian Case, who specializes in treating animals performing in the circus.
And once the animals are old, or disabled or injured, and cannot be cured, these eliminated circus animals will also be sent to the veterinarian Keith, who will conduct cruel experiments, and finally use these useless animals specimens of animals.
Wu Xiajiu looked back at the secret room in front of him while recalling the description of veterinary doctor Case.
——The layout of this secret room has all kinds of hospital equipment, but some things are obviously used for animals, such as human beds, here are cages, fixing belts, etc.
There is a ward in front of him. This ward has a door that is half open. Behind the door is a small corridor. Through the crack of the door, Wu Xiajiu can also see that the corridor is winding and not straight forward.
There are also wards or other rooms where animals are treated or experimented on both sides of the corridor.
And there is no limit to the time to break through the secret room of the circus, so Wu Xiajiu just stood there for the time being and didn't move.
He guessed that the NPC Veterinarian Case should be in this secret room at this moment, but he didn't know where it was hiding.
And in the archives, the veterinarian Keith's information was ranked ahead of the puppeteer Derrick.
This shows that the veterinarian Keith is more powerful than the puppeteer Derrick, and his status in the circus is much more important than Derrick.
Then, this secret room is undoubtedly more dangerous than the puppeteer Derrick's.
Derrick has the ability to control ten puppets, so it doesn't make sense that Veterinarian Keith wouldn't have any special abilities.
The secret room of the circus in front of Wu Xiajiu was silent, the only sounds were the rustling of the walkie-talkie clipped to his collar and the occasional voices of Shi Shangzuo and Tang Yunsi.
After Wu Xiajiu briefly explained the situation on his side, he then told about the safe house, and the information about the archives in a low voice at a volume that could be heard on the walkie-talkie.
Wu Xiajiu said: "...and tell Lu Nan, remember the previous file information."
"The NPC who can be in the front should be an important position in the circus. The degree of danger and ability are both advanced. Be careful if you encounter it."
Shi Shangzuo and Tang Yunsi responded.
Tang Yunsi immediately told Lu Nan.
But Shi Shangzuo said: "You have to be careful now, Xiao Jiu."
"I know." Wu Xiajiu raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.
They all decided to send Lu Nan out of the secret room as soon as possible. After all, there is a time limit for Lu Nan. If you don't hurry up, you might be frozen into a popsicle.
With the blessing of luck, the four quickly solved the puzzle together. In the end, Lu Nan found the silver box and the door. When he opened the silver box, he found not only the key, but also his identity card.
"That's great, you leave this secret room quickly, I'm trembling when I hear your voice," Tang Yunsi said.
Lu Nan: "Okay, you have to be careful, I'll open the door first."
As the door lock turned, there was a "click" sound, Lu Nan entered the door and went to the next secret room, and Tang Yunsi's walkie-talkie went off.
Wu Xiajiu said: "Then, let's start breaking through."
Lu Nan only felt his eyes go dark, and when the scene turned on again, he was stunned for a moment.
- Like office rooms, desks, cabinets, sofas, etc.
Here, it looks like the safe house that the Lord Guan has been to.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Lu Nan immediately remembered Tang Yunsi's report, isn't this the safe house mentioned by the temple master.
Looking at the desk again, there is indeed an identity card——Leader: Mars.
It was a coincidence that he came to the safe house just after he learned about the safe house.
At this time, the bracelet also issued a reminder.
Just when Lu Nan clicked on the panel to check the notification, a small figure poked out his head from behind the desk, and Lu Nan immediately looked at him.
The little head resembling Wu Xiajiu's face popped up again, his brows and eyes were bent, and he winked at Lu Nan.
After Lu Nan and the ghost doll looked at each other, Wu Xiajiu, who shared the perspective with the prop ghost doll, also learned of the situation here.
He immediately said something to Shi Shangzuo and Tang Yunsi.
Tang Yun understood clearly, no wonder he wanted to dial the button again when Lu Nan went to the next circus secret room, but got no response.
Because there is no way to contact other passengers in the safe house.
They were saying that Lu Nan could stay in the safe house for 15 minutes before leaving, but they didn’t know that shortly after Lu Nan left the previous circus secret room, one side wall of this circus secret room was about to freeze. Suddenly a hole was cut.
Immediately, the tent on the side of the opening was opened, and a familiar short and fat figure walked in. It was the leader Mars.
The secret room he came to was actually what Lu Nan experienced. If Lu Nan left one step later, he would definitely meet the leader Mars.
Now, Mars, the head of the group, was in vain. He didn't see anyone who broke through the level in this ice cave secret room.
Mars scolded: "What's going on, the puzzles placed here are not simple, how could he decipher and leave so quickly!"
The openable cabinet and the disappearing silver box are reminding the head Mars that the passer-by in the secret room has indeed passed the level, opened the door, and left already.
The rules of the circus—even the head Mars cannot open the door from this secret room to the next secret room without a key.
What's more, the secret room behind each door is generated randomly, who knows which secret room it will lead to when the door is opened again.
And the reason why Mars, the leader, was able to come to this frozen secret room was also because of his cane.
But this cane can only open a circus secret room within two hours.
Thinking of this, Mars, the head of the group, became more and more angry. What he wanted to accomplish was not accomplished, which made him extremely annoyed.
After venting in the secret room, the head Mars turned and left.
After he left, the opening of the tent that had been cut open was restored again.
……
In the secret room of Shi Shangzuo and Tang Yunsi, the two left from the platform and stood on the inverted decorations protruding from the wall of the secret room.
Their goal is the place where there is a magnet.
Shi Shangzuo's skill is very good, but Tang Yunsi's physical strength is not bad, the two cooperated with each other, and soon got two pieces of colored iron.
During the period, both Shi Shangzuo and Tang Yunsi touched the mechanism in the secret room.
One was a floating balloon. Tang Yunsi only passed by, and the balloon exploded. The white powder flying out of it almost caught Tang Yunsi's eyes.
Even though he hid faster, he still got a little stained and had to close his eyes tightly.
But the eyes can't see it, the feet are still protruding and uneven, and there is not much place to stand on the upside-down decorations.
As a result, Tang Yunsi almost fell down and fell into the bottomless pit.
Fortunately, Shi Shangzuo stopped him in time.
But Shi Shangzuo stepped on the toy-like Ferris wheel, and the Ferris wheel turned faster, not only that, but also changed its position while turning.
However, Shi Shangzuo immediately jumped to another place.
There are many hidden mechanisms in this inverted secret room, which may be triggered somehow.
The two must be careful.
But fortunately, they work well together.
Now, it is necessary to think about where to stick the iron sheet on the Rubik's Cube, and then when the Rubik's Cube is turned, the colors on each side can be neatly arranged.
Wu Xiajiu said on the intercom: "You have all played the Rubik's Cube, can you turn the same color to the same side?"
Of course Shi Shangzuo and Tang Yunsi have both played before, and their speed is not slow.
Wu Xiajiu said: "Then it's better for one person to turn the Rubik's cube first, and the other person to pick up the iron piece, wait for the colors on the Rubik's cube to turn together, and then cover it with the magnet iron piece."
"I'm not in your secret room, so I don't know the specific situation. How about this method?"
If the missing squares are too many colors, it is indeed a little bad to turn first.
Shi Shang Zuo said: "This method is feasible, Xiao Jiu."
"Turning the giant Rubik's cube in the middle requires moving the surrounding metal spools, which also consumes energy. Let's go to the Rubik's cube first to have a look."
"En." Wu Xiajiu replied, and then focused on the secret room in front of him.
When Shi Shangzuo and Tang Yunsi acted, Wu Xiajiu had already walked around the first ward.
There is really nothing special about this ward, except for the blood-stained cages, whips, pliers and other tools hanging on the wall.
It is some medical equipment such as blood drawing and scalpel.
But after walking around, Wu Xiajiu still found some useful clues.
——That was an old abandoned research report that veterinarian Case used to conduct experiments on animals.
