Volume 4: It's Dark, Please Close Your Eyes Chapter 54: How many keys are needed to open three doors?
Tang Zheng’s first reaction was not to find a way out immediately.
Many dangers in escape room sometimes do not come from hunger or thirst, but from mechanisms, traps and other accidents!
Tang Zheng had a vague feeling that something was not right.
The design of this escape room and the intrusion on the epitaph are both in stark contrast to this Xingyao Continent.
Of course, no matter how wrong it was, he knew that he only had one life to live, so he had to leave this haunted place that was "suspected to be the remains of the Purple Gold Emperor" first.
He looked back at the narrow passage he had crawled through, and then observed the relatively open area.
The first step is to identify the danger.
"I need to throw a stone to ask for directions..." Tang Zheng looked around. In order to find out if there were any mechanisms or traps nearby, throwing a stone to ask for directions was a good option.
Although the weight of the stone may not necessarily trigger the mechanism, the sound made by the stone hitting a solid surface is different from the sound made by the stone hitting an empty surface.
It's so quiet here. If Tang Zheng still can't tell the difference between the two sounds, then his ten years of playing the game will be in vain.
His ideas are really correct and common.
But the problem is, there don’t seem to be many suitable stones?
Tang Zheng's gaze moved again, and then his malicious eyes locked directly on the statue that was suspected to be the Purple Gold Emperor.
After staring at it for only two seconds, he immediately activated his star power and launched four moves one after another...
Boom boom boom.
A few loud noises directly knocked down the statue carved from inferior stone. The broken stones rolled all over the ground and it took a long time for the noise to stop.
Tang Zheng touched his nose.
Luckily he came in alone...
Otherwise, with the respect that the entire Xingyao Continent had for Emperor Zi Jin, other people might not agree, so he simply pushed Emperor Zi Jin down... Oh no, he pushed down the statue of Emperor Zi Jin.
As soon as the statue of the Purple Gold Emperor fell, Tang Zheng discovered that many changes occurred immediately.
First of all, the road that Tang Zheng came from, which only allowed him to crawl on his stomach, was also collapsed by the earthquake, and Tang Zheng had no way to turn back.
Then, after the base was shattered by the powerful star power of such a five-star strongman, a small handle was revealed.
Tang Zheng did not pull the handle for the time being. Instead, he picked up stones and threw them one by one, throwing them while walking, until he had walked all the ground, and then he used the stones to smash the cliff wall.
Ding ding...dong dong...ding...dong dong.
There was quite a lot of sound feedback from the mountain wall. In order to prevent the mechanism from being triggered, Tang Zheng did not get too close, but even at this distance, he could hear a very obvious difference in the sound.
Boom boom boom… Boom boom boom…
There was a piece of the cliff that emitted a sound completely different from other places. Tang Zheng walked over carefully, put his ear close to that piece, and listened carefully.
It’s better not to listen.
Upon hearing this, even a master like Tang Zheng changed his expression.
The mountain wall did not seem to be thick, and Tang Zheng could clearly hear the sound coming from behind the wall!
water!
Behind the cliff is the sound of running water.
Therefore, if he had thrown the stone a little harder and created a hole in the mountain wall, he would have been directly killed by the rushing water in this "secret room".
"Fortunately, I didn't use the star power to destroy this place directly." Tang Zheng's first reaction was to directly overturn this "secret room".
But now it seems that it is better not to make such an attempt!
He currently has no experience in building star power circuits underwater. It doesn't seem like a good thing for a five-star strong man who can split mountains and rocks to be drowned.
"Here, here, and here..." Tang Zheng knocked several times in succession and found several hollow spots. He picked out three of them and stabilized his star power before making a move.
Fortunately, his ability to control star power is really strong. Otherwise, with the strength of a five-star warrior, he would definitely knock a hole in it...
Tang Zheng didn't think that he could get out by just knocking a hole.
In most cases, it may make the situation more troublesome.
After the three star powers came out, small pieces of stone were knocked down Tang Zheng leaned over to take a look and found that there was a key hidden in each stone.
"There are only two doors in total. Why are you giving me three keys?" Tang Zheng was also stunned. In any escape room, there are always fewer keys than doors. But the remains of the Purple Gold Emperor were quite generous. They gave me three keys at once?
Tang Zheng tried knocking a few more stones.
Without exception, there is a key in every hollow stone.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight...
Finally, Tang Zheng was holding a key and playing dumb with there.
"Emperor Zi Jin, could he be a key maker?" He was too tired to complain.
…
Tang Zhengqing counted and took all the keys he could get. After that, he had a total of thirty-two keys in his hand, with different shapes, sizes and styles.
The problem is, there are only two doors.
Tang Zheng certainly knew that it was not easy to get the thirty-two keys. If he didn't control the strength well, a star force would break the stone wall that should not be broken, which would very likely cause water to flow in the secret room, and the time to break the deadlock would be very tight.
However, if you have poor hearing, you will have no way of judging which hollow drums have keys behind them, or which cliffs have water behind them. If you hit the wrong target, it will be a tragedy.
water……
Tang Zheng now has some idea that the mountain wall where he is now may be surrounded by water!
Now he didn't know how deep he was under the water.
As his footwork and martial arts cannot be used for diving for the time being, it is best to be careful.
"Water-repellent beads...flying fish balls...it would be nice if I could just bring one of them." Tang Zheng sighed.
The instructor at Yisu Academy repeatedly stressed that one must bring all the supplies when going out on an adventure, but he still forgot to bring some things.
After collecting the thirty-two keys, Tang Zheng's eyes fell on the handle again.
If nothing unexpected happened, there must be something hidden under the handle, allowing him to know which of the thirty-two keys can be used to open the door.
Tang Zheng walked over and took a deep breath.
Then, he reached out and very slowly pulled...
Crunch, crunch.
As the handle was pulled, none of the maps, guides, and other things that Tang Zheng was hoping for appeared. Instead, a third door appeared on the mountain wall directly in front of him, at a height of about 20 meters.
"Okay." Tang Zheng was speechless again, "How about you create thirty-two doors for me in one go?"
There seems to be no essential difference between having thirty-two keys facing two doors and having thirty-two keys facing three doors.
Tang Zheng shook his head. Since the handle only opened a door, and it was a door on a cliff 20 meters high, Tang Zheng didn't think too much about it...
Now it seems that I can only try them one by one.
He walked to the first door, took up the first key, and inserted it into the keyhole.
Click.
It actually moved.
Tang Zheng was stunned for a moment, but did not open the door. He immediately pulled out the first key and took out the second one.
Insert, click, and it moves again.
The third, the fourth, the fifth...
It turns out that every time a key is put in, the door lock responds.
"Meow..." Tang Zheng didn't try again, "This is worse than no response."
Can every key open the door?
There is no such good thing!
There must be some keys that can be opened that are real doors, and some keys... are just inserted to open certain switches inside.
As for whether it was opening the door to kill, opening the door to kill, or opening the door to kill, Tang Zheng no longer wanted to think about it.
"It's a bit troublesome." Tang Zheng sat down facing the door in front of him, with all the keys placed in front of him.
He thought that his performance here was good enough.
There are probably not many people in the entire Xingyao Continent who have such control over star power and such hearing.
However, even he was stuck in this place.
"Wait..." Tang Zheng accidentally glanced at a small blue and white key among the thirty-two keys.
Just now, he remembered that there were three protrusions on the key.
But just after he inserted the key into the door lock, the shape of the key actually changed.
"No way? This can't be played." Tang Zheng found that the key could still be deformed, and he was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
It’s too difficult!
If Fang Junji knew that the remains of Emperor Zi Jin were of such a horrible nature, I wonder if he would still be interested.
However, if Fang Junji was here, he would probably have some ideas, right? After all, he has been searching for the remains of the Purple Gold Emperor all over the world, and he has opened more than one or two remains.
"What a pity, Fang Junji is not here. I have to find a way myself..." Tang Zheng stared at the blue and white key in a daze for a long time.
Then he stood up and put each key into the lock again, listening to the click, remembering how they looked before they were inserted and how they changed after they were taken out.
In the keyhole of the first door, different keys , and there were seven keys in total.
"Well, the answer should be in these seven keys." Tang Zheng stared at the seven keys and fell into thought.
Although there seems to be still not much clue, but at least change is much better than a deadlock.
The seven keys changed in this keyhole, so the key to opening the first door has been found.
All that remains is to summarize and conclude!
Tang Zheng picked up all seven keys and examined them one by one in his hand. The shining stars behind him illuminated each key, emitting a terrifying metallic glow.
"Oh..." About half a minute later, Tang Zheng let out a long sigh.
