Seeing the monster leave the room, everyone let out a long sigh of relief. They were so nervous just now. Zhang Ze's life was almost hanging by a thread and he was almost caught by the monster!
But just now, the Dragon King who was hiding in the cabinet saw that Zhang Ze was about to be touched by a monster and couldn't help but rush out. He was held down by Fuqing for fear that he would mess up.
"The invisible child is gone, so we should seize the time and take advantage of this window period to leave this floor quickly."
He opened the cabinet door without emotion and walked out with Dragon King. The three of them left the room and entered the corridor on the third floor.
They saw many rooms on both sides of the corridor, but there were no windows around them. Only a few dim light bulbs on the walls gave off a dull yellow light.
A lot of paint on the wall has fallen off, and the yellowed lime layer has exposed the lower layers. It is chaotic and looks very desolate. A smell full of musty and rancid smell hit their faces, making the three of them frown.
The floor was also dilapidated and their every step made a dull sound, making everyone's mood even more tense.
Several people came to the end of the corridor, where there was a heavy iron door with a dilapidated and rusty surface, as if no one had opened it for a long time, and outside it was the stairs leading to the second floor.
"This iron door can't be opened!"
The Dragon King shook it hard, but it only made a "clatter" sound, and the iron door didn't move at all.
Zhang Ze saw a circular groove in the center of the iron door, which seemed to need to be put in. He guessed that something might be needed to trigger the iron door's mechanism and make it open.
However, Zhang Ze had no idea what the round object was or where it was.
"There are 30 seconds left, and the invisible child is coming out again!" He looked at the other side of the corridor emotionlessly with a solemn expression.
The Dragon King looked surprised: "How do you know there are 30 seconds left?"
"I'm counting silently in my mind." Bu Bu said emotionally: "Now we have two choices, either to return to the original room immediately and hide, or to find this circular mechanism as soon as possible and leave this floor."
"We don't know where the circular mechanism is, so we can only go back to the original room and hide." Zhang Ze said his suggestion.
So the three of them took action immediately and ran towards their rooms.
Halfway through, Zhang Ze saw different patterns painted on the doors on both sides of the corridor, which were various animals.
There are tigers, pythons, horses... In short, no door has the same pattern.
"What do these patterns mean?" Zhang Ze wondered, but he had no time to think about it because the monster was about to run out again.
Returning to the original room, Zhang Ze saw that the pattern on the door of their room was a crow.
Just as the three of them ran into the house, the child's cry came from the end of the corridor: "Mom...Mom..."
The long and agonizing time finally passed. After the monster disappeared again, the three of them immediately rushed out of the room and came to the iron door.
"I found various animal patterns on the corridor door. I thought it might be some kind of reminder."
Zhang Ze expressed his thoughts and then carefully observed the iron gate. Dragon King and Fuqing also came to help.
Outside the screen, Liu Yueying, Zhang Feng and others also followed suit.
"What do the animal patterns represent?" Moonlight Bunny scratched his head and said, "If it were the twelve zodiac signs, it might be easier to understand. But those patterns are not."
Xiaoniao Yiren said: "It's useless for us to guess like this. We have to find hints. This is how general decryption games are designed."
Yiye Zhiqiu nodded: "Yes, we can only wait for Rakshasa and Fuqing to find clues before we can make a judgment."
Soon, Zhang Ze and the others made a new discovery.
"Look here!" Pointing to the circular groove without emotion, he said, "There is a pattern here, it seems to be some kind of animal, but I really can't tell what it is."
The Dragon King pushed him away and said contemptuously: "Get out of the way and let me see..."
He looked at it for a while but didn't notice it, and said with a confused face: "This is so different!"
Zhang Ze squinted his eyes. The pattern showed a strange creature with the wings of a bird, the head of a tiger, the body of a pig, and the tail of a snake.
"What does this mean?"
Zhang Ze fell into deep thought, and off the screen, the giant god, the little princess of money, and others also began to discuss.
"These four strange things must be related to the patterns on those doors. If I were a Rakshasa, I would go in and take a look one by one." Little Princess Qian said.
"Yes, I think so too." Zhang Feng also nodded.
On the screen, the Dragon King also said the same thing: "I think, let's go find the room related to this four-faced thing. Maybe the thing is in it."
"Well, that's all we can do now." Zhang Ze nodded and suggested emotionally: "Time is tight, I suggest everyone split up and go to different rooms to look for clues."
"Wait a minute." The Dragon King raised a question: "Isn't our room just a crow pattern? But, we didn't find anything in it."
Zhang Ze said: "Then let's go to the other three rooms first. Maybe the things are in these rooms."
Afterwards, the three of them took action immediately. Dragon King went to find the room with the pig pattern, Zhang Ze went to find the tiger pattern, and Bu Qingqing went to find the python pattern.
"There are still more than twenty seconds left. The monster is coming out again. Everyone, hurry up and hide in the room!" He said to Zhang Ze and Dragon King while running without emotion.
The two nodded, and then the three of them separated.
The Dragon King ran all the way and looked at the door patterns of the rooms on the left and right. Finally he stopped and found the pattern of a pig.
"Hey, Piggy, I finally found you."
He tried to open the door and found that it was locked.
"Do you want to violently break it open?" The Dragon King grunted, took seven or eight steps back, then charged and slammed into the door.
Boom!
The Dragon King was directly ejected!
It was beyond his expectation that the wooden door, which looked rotten and tattered, was so strong.
Outside the screen, watching the Dragon King being bounced by the door, the little princess Qian felt pain in her body.
Shandao Buqing and Zhang Ze also encountered the same situation, and their door could not be opened.
Seeing that the time was coming, the three of them had to hide in the original house in a hurry, waiting for the monster to inspect before coming out.
"Why can't you open the door? Is there something wrong?"
Zhang Ze thought to himself, his eyes moved around the room, and he was suddenly stunned.
"This is... a hint!"
Zhang Ze saw some patterns painted with blood on the walls of the room. They had actually seen these patterns before, but they didn't feel anything at the time and thought they were just random scrawls.
But looking at it now, it's obviously not.
Because the painting on the wall is exactly the same as the four on the iron door. In addition, there are numbers on it.
"1" is written on the wings, "2" is written on the tiger's head, "3" is written on the pig's body, and "4" is written on the snake's tail.
"So, this is the order to open the room?"
"The crow room we are in now is the first room because it has wings."
"The first clue is written on the wall of this room, so the second clue should be in the tiger's room."
Zhang Ze's eyes lit up, but he said nothing because the invisible child was still wandering in the corridor.
After the monster disappeared again, Zhang Ze immediately told Fuqing and Dragon King about the discovery. The two also became excited and took action immediately.
You know, they have spent nearly 10 minutes on this floor, and there are two floors waiting for them. If they spend all their time here, they may not have enough time later.
Outside the screen, Moonlight Bunny shouted happily: "Brother Rakshasa is so awesome. He is the one who finds clues every time at critical moments!"
"My brother is awesome!" Zhang Feng also looked proud.
Little Princess Qian hummed and said, "There are three more rooms at the back. I don't know what other puzzles there are."
"No matter what the puzzle is, my brother can solve it! Just wait and see if you don't believe me!" Zhang Feng angrily shouted at the little princess with his hands on his hips.
Yiye Zhiqiu smiled and said: "Why are you arguing on your own? We can be a team."
"snort!"
The two girls snorted angrily and turned their heads away, ignoring each other.
Liu Yueying stared at Zhang Ze's figure and saw him arriving in Tiger's room, reaching out to twist the doorknob.
The door that he had not opened before was opened easily this time, but Zhang Ze's expression was extremely solemn because he smelled a strong rancid smell!
"what is inside?"
Zhang Ze slowly opened the door, and the room was dark. He stood beside it without emotion, saying in a deep voice: "It smells like a rotting corpse. It has been at least ten days, but I can't be sure if it is a human corpse."
"Then shall we go in?" The Dragon King looked at Zhang Ze and the others.
"Of course you have to go in, because the clues are inside." Zhang Ze took a deep breath of the fresh air outside, and then stepped inside.
He reached out and touched the switch on the wall. Bang, the broken chandelier on the roof lit up, giving off a flickering light.
What they saw in front of them stunned the three of them. They saw a human corpse lying on the ground, but this corpse was too big. If it stood up, it would be taller than the three of them.
But it was such a giant that had been cut into several sections and placed neatly on the ground. It looked weird and terrifying.
"What does this giant's corpse mean? Where are the clues?" The Dragon King looked around. This time there were no patterns or writing on the walls.
He walked to the giant's corpse without emotion, narrowed his eyes, and said, "This corpse is a clue."
Zhang Ze also noticed it and nodded: "That's right."
Outside the screen, Liu Yueying, Giant God, and others were standing high, so they could see the whole room and the arrangement of the Giant's corpse.
I saw the giant's limbs placed in four directions, all pointing towards the head in the center.
"The clue is in the skull."
Zhang Zehe walked over without emotion and circled around the huge head. He moved his eyes and narrowed his eyes: "Found it!"
The Dragon King was stunned: "What did you find?" He ran over and took a look, and found that there was a part on the back of the head that was sewn up with a needle, and then a big "X" was drawn on it with a red pen!
The Dragon King pointed at this part and looked at Zhang Ze: "You mean, the clue is here?"
"That's right." Zhang Ze nodded and said, "But we don't have the tools, how can we take apart these threads?"
They don't have any weapons now, so naturally they can't cut off the tough surgical threads.
"There must be tools, but I don't know where they were hidden by the demon merchants." He looked around the room without emotion, but found nothing.
"Our time no longer allows us to find tools. I'd better summon my followers."
Zhang Ze thought, and the Elf King appeared in front of the three of them.
"Master, what do you need me to do?" the Elf King asked respectfully.
"Do you have your sword with you?"
"Uh, take it with you."
"Okay, use it to break open this area and see what's inside."
The Elf King looked along Zhang Ze's finger and saw a huge rotting head in front of him. There were even squirming maggots on it, exuding a stench.
"this……"
The Elf King looked at his beloved sword and couldn't do it.
But he couldn't disobey his master's order, so he could only slash down with his sword and break that part open.
There was a loud crash, and a burst of black-red substance flowed out from inside. The stench became even stronger and almost made several people faint.
Not only them, but Liu Yueying, Tian Melancholy and others outside the screen also felt their stomachs churn.
Although I couldn't smell the smell, the disgusting sight was too overwhelming!
"It stinks so much. Where are the clues?" Dragon King asked, pinching his nose.
Zhang Ze borrowed the Elf King's sword and rummaged through the pile of disgusting sticky objects. Finally, he found a ring.
Picking up the ring and wiping off the dirt on it, the three of them looked at it under the light.
The shape of the ring is very similar to that of a gear, and I don't know what its purpose is.
"What's the use of this ring?" The Dragon King was completely confused. He felt that his CPU was a bit insufficient.
Shan Dao Bu Bu said emotionally: "We can only go to the pig's room to take a look first."
The three of them immediately set off to the pig-patterned room while there was still time. The door opened smoothly this time and opened as soon as it was opened.
They have figured out the rules. As long as they see the wing pattern room going smoothly, there will be no problem opening the door again.
Pushing the door open, the lights in the room automatically turn on.
Compared with the previous room, the situation in the pig room was two extremes.
The house was clean, everything was in order, and everyone could smell a faint...meat aroma.
“What a delicious meaty flavor!”
The Dragon King couldn't help but smell it a few more times and murmured: "It should be braised pork! Well, my favorite is the braised pork stewed by my mother."
Gududu…
What gave off the aroma was an iron pot placed in front of them, in which meat was being stewed. As the soup simmered, the delicious pieces of meat floated up and down.
Under the iron pot, there is a burning stove with fierce flames, baking the iron pot.
Everyone gathered around, and the Dragon King swallowed his saliva and asked, "Can I have a piece of meat?"
"If you're not afraid of being poisoned, just eat it." She said calmly without emotion.
Zhang Ze looked around the room. The furnishings of this room were the kitchen, but there were no cooking tools, only the stove and iron pot in front of him.
He suddenly found a small note on the wall. He walked over and saw it clearly. It said: "Something is in the pot."
