The room was dark and nothing could be seen. Then they were still under twenty meters of water, and the windows were still leaking... They were simply waiting to die.
"Yeah, I'm sure."
Meng Fei's eyes and thoughts once again scanned the entire room. In fact, he used the elimination method.
When all other clues are confirmed to be no longer present, the only thing left that moves is the object that advances the plot.
"Okay, let me do it."
Li Huo rubbed his hands and took the brick from Meng Fei's hand.
Even if you just smash something, it is not easy to hit the ceiling light on the eight-meter-high ceiling with the brick in your hand.
Fortunately, Li Huo is an athlete and has very developed motor nerves. Meng Fei hid in a corner as close to the wall as possible, carefully observing the ceiling lamp that was about to be broken.
Li Huo missed the ceiling light several times and only hit the ceiling near the ceiling light. There was a heavy muffled sound from the ceiling.
If he guessed correctly, they were all thick armored steel plates.
An Sheng was still in the room, using his fingertips to fight against the strong water pressure outside the room.
But he heard a horrifying "crash" sound, which seemed to be the crisp sound of some glassware being broken in the distance, and then the sound of a heavy object falling to the floor with a bang.
Then the lights in the room started to flicker, like a fluorescent light with poor contact in a horror movie.
"What the hell are you doing!"
he shouted helplessly. But no one had time to pay attention to him.
Li Huo picked up the fallen bricks in the corner of the living room.
At least one thing they were sure of was that the casing of the dome light was made of glass. After being smashed by the bricks, the S-shaped spiral fluorescent tube was exposed.
At the same time, this attack shook the circuit of the light, causing the fluorescent tube to start flashing several times a second.
The room was suddenly enveloped in a strange atmosphere like a night of continuous lightning.
Staring at the flickering fluorescent lamp, Li Huo didn't see any clues, but his eyes felt very uncomfortable.
"There are no clues and no exit. I feel like this brick was smashed in vain, but it almost destroyed the lighting in the room."
He said to Meng Fei angrily.
"No, not really."
Meng Fei's eyes were also fixed on the broken ceiling lamp above his head, and the light crackled and flickered in his eyes like electric sparks.
“There’s something wrong with this overhead light.”
"Why?" Li Huo asked.
“Listen to the sound that just came out, there should be a space above it.
"Viewed from this angle, the S-shaped lamp is held in place by a lamp holder on an iron frame.
“But above the lamp base, there is another glass plate made of the same material as the glass shell that was just broken.
"If we can break the glass plate above, maybe we can see the exit above!"
Meng Fei said.
Li Huo looked carefully again. Even under the flickering light, he could see that the upper layer of the lamp base was indeed a white frosted glass plate.
"You want to break it to see if there's an exit above? But that's impossible.
"If you want to break it, you must break the fluorescent tube below first. When the room is dark, what can you see even if the upper glass panel is broken?"
Li Huo pinched the brick in his hand. He felt that Meng Fei had gone a little crazy trying to express his thoughts.
"If you can hit the empty space in the upper right corner at the right angle, it's still possible to break the glass plate first."
Meng Fei raised his head and calmly estimated the free area, the shape of the bricks and the optimal angle of incidence.
After micro-manipulation is turned on, his gaze is like a laser emitted by a lidar, and he can achieve accurate modeling with one sweep.
There is such an excellent angle of incidence that the corner of the alarm clock tile will first break the glass plate above the ceiling light.
"Even if the glass plate breaks first, it will definitely hit the light tube and cause the lights to go out! What can you see at that moment?"
"It should be enough to see if there is an exit above at that moment."
"You're gambling!"
Li Huo didn't know that Meng Fei had the power of micro-management. He only knew that Meng Fei's registered power in the Department of Supernatural Powers was to repair various electrical appliances that had problems.
"No, this is a reasonable calculation."
Meng Fei looked at him very Versailles, then reached out to pass the bricks and climbed onto the table.
The table raised his height by one meter, and with his height of 1.8 meters, he was still more than five meters away from the eight-meter-high ceiling.
The ceiling is indeed unreasonably high. But Meng Fei became more and more convinced that the exit was inside the overhead light.
If the three of them stepped on the powerful An Gongzi at the bottom and built a human ladder like performing acrobatics, they could reach a height of four to five meters. Adding in the table, it reaches six meters.
If the ceiling height is only seven meters, they might be able to send someone up in advance to check the situation.
The current height of eight meters is simply an impossible ceiling designed specifically for them.
This is the design of challenging difficulty. But the difficulty itself also hints at where the clues lie.
Meng Fei made accurate calculations under micro-manipulation, precisely controlled every muscle in his body, leaped high into the air, and then threw the "brick" sharply!
The crisp sound of broken glass, the crackling of lights, the buzzing sound, and the sudden extinguishment of lights in the room happened almost simultaneously.
Li Huo stared carefully without even daring to blink. The whole process felt fast but long to him.
Everything he saw seemed to turn into many broken fragments, and finally turned into a meaningless afterimage on the retina as the light disappeared.
In fact, if he carefully observes the images he sees, he can still see something.
The problem is that this moment is too short. His thinking is like holding up the reflection in the water. By the time he holds it up, the image has been broken in his fingers.
In despair, he could only shout:
"It's over!"
"No, there isn't."
He couldn't see anything in the darkness, but Meng Fei's calm and rational voice came.
"I see the exit."
"How is it possible? You can actually see the exit? But I don't see anything?"
"Of course, you were at least seven meters away from the ceiling light just now. I was on the table, and I jumped up. I was only about four meters away from the ceiling light, which is much closer than you!"
"What did you see?" Li Huo asked worriedly. Is there a way out from above?
“I saw a vertical passage above the ceiling light, with U-shaped handrails commonly used in maintenance passages, which you can climb up.
"The height of the passage is about one meter. At the end is an iron door. There is an obvious opening mechanism on the door, which is a disrupted third-level Rubik's Cube."
"Level 3 Rubik's Cube?"
"Yes! Isn't this the same old routine of escape room games?"
