[On the eighth day, other than Dr. Andre, the four experimentals all showed signs of oozing blood all over their bodies. We had no choice but to send the four of them to the infirmary for emergency treatment.]
[On the ninth day, Dr. Andre, who was in the cell, began to use his feces to draw some strange symbols and words that we couldn’t recognize on the wall. He wrote a lot, and by the time I filed the record today, he had almost covered the entire wall with his feces.]
The record ended there, and there was nothing about the tenth day.
Obviously, Feng bujue was currently experiencing the ‘tenth day’.
…………
An hour later.
“As I thought, there is no exit here either …” Feng bujue arrived at another corner of the map, and as expected, he found himself in a dead end.
“Brother Feng, what should we do now?” Igor showed a worried expression.”We’ve already gone through the four sides, four corners … Of this floor, but there’s no exit.”
As Igor said, at this time, they had already walked a whole circle along the edge of this floor …
Along the way, the two of them encountered three mutants from the sleep experiment.
Speaking of which, the three of them had it rough. When they met brother Jue, they thought they had met one of their own, so they had not been on guard at all. In the end, they had been killed by a certain someone, and they had died with grievances.
“There’s definitely an exit. ” After some thought, Feng bujue said,”but …’Someone’ has purposely hidden it.”
The “certain people” he was referring to was naturally the Golden Foundation.
When he encountered the first nameless mutant, Feng bujue had already noticed that … The monster ‘s’ memory ‘had been fixed. He clearly remembered all the information, but he couldn’t remember where the exit was.
Later on, the same thing happened to the barefooted brother … He could deduce the location of the archive room by looking at his own coordinates, but he couldn’t remember the location of the exit.
The collective disappearance of specific memories was obviously caused by some kind of interference from a higher dimension.
At first, brother Jue suspected that this was the doing of the “system,” but when he thought about it, he did not think so …
Indeed, Thriller Paradise’s system would do something like that, but the system’s methods were usually clever and covert, and it would not give off such an obvious feeling of surprise.
Later, when Feng bujue thought about the sandbox theory, he understood … The people who made the ‘interference’ and the people who created this simple sandbox … Were the same group of people.
To make an analogy … The system was like an excellent author. It could silently fix some small bugs that were accidentally left behind in the previous chapters while pushing the plot forward.
As for the Golden Foundation … It was like a terrible director of a reality show. He would deliberately express what he wanted to do, making the audience feel fake and helpless in the process of watching.
“You mean …” After listening to brother Jue’s words, Igor thought for a full ten seconds and then asked,”the exit has been disguised, so we can’t see it when we pass by?”
“Ha … A bunch of people who can’t even figure out the details of the environment. Asking them to disguise the exit … Is a little too much.” Feng bujue laughed.”I think the actual situation is …” As he spoke, he turned to look at the corridor.”The exit here is not on the four sides of the corridor but somewhere in the middle of this floor.”
“This …” Igor thought for a moment, and then patted his forehead.”Yeah!” This is underground, and the exit is facing upwards, which means … The ceiling is the ‘boundary’.”
“I think …” Feng bujue finished the sentence.”The exit here is most likely something like an elevator …” He shrugged.”The reason we can’t find the exit is actually very simple, because the signs in the environment have disappeared. If those signs were still there, we would be able to reach the exit easily. ” He paused for a moment.”Of course, if Nicholas and the others ‘memories were not blocked by’ those guys ‘, we can also leave easily.”
The moment brother Jue said that, suddenly …
Weng, Weng, Weng, Weng, Weng
A series of buzzing sounds rang out.
Waves of invisible energy surged in from all directions … And passed through each other.
“Oh? What are they doing?” Feng bujue’s dead fish eyes were wide open as he mumbled,”could it be that you want to …”
Huuuu
Suddenly, the wind from the punch interrupted brother Jue’s train of thought.
The person who launched the sudden attack … Was none other than Igor!
“Hmph …” Feng bujue snorted coldly and raised his arm to block the heavy punch that was aimed at his face.
However, even though he had protected his head, the bones in his forearms were still broken under the heavy pressure.
“You’re not going to hide it anymore, are you?” Feng bujue’s words were not meant for Igor but for those who were ‘looking at this place’.
On the other hand, Igor took advantage of the situation to pursue and attack.
At that moment, the Soviet man was a completely different person. He had been honest and simple, but in the blink of an eye, he had become a cold and ruthless fighting machine.
“Ah … Fine.” Feng bujue retreated as he fought, and his tone was as relaxed as ever.”No matter how you deal with it, it’s the same to me.”
Weng, Weng, Weng, Weng, Weng
The buzzing sound was getting more and more rapid, and all the scenery was distorted, making people dizzy.
And Igor, like the surrounding scenery, also turned into a reflection in the water, and his movement speed was also affected … Becoming slower.
“This is the result of ‘excessive interference’ even though the technique is clearly not up to standard.” Feng bujue commented calmly as he looked at the twisted things around him.
Six or seven seconds later, brother Jue’s arm had finished healing. Then, he used his speed advantage to distance himself from Igor. At the same time, he shouted at the empty corridor,””Do you think you can stay out of this and treat me like an experimental specimen?” He laughed.”Haha … Let’s wait and see.”
…………
Even though the space was severely distorted, it did not stop Feng bujue’s movement.
Five minutes later, brother Jue had found his way back to the door of the previous filing room.
After that …
“From a certain perspective, this scenario is quite interesting …” Feng bujue had his back to the door of the filing room. He organized his memories and started to read.”Rather than saying that the system gave me a difficult problem, it is more like a three-way game between me, the system, and the Golden Foundation …”
As he spoke, he took out the stack of documents from his arms.
“The system wants me to crack this sandbox and go after the Golden Foundation, but at the same time, I have to try my best to ensure that the inherent difficulty and principles of the nightmare scenario are not broken. The Golden Foundation wishes to observe me and interfere with me, but they have to prevent me from detecting their presence. ” Feng bujue said in his heart, however, just detecting the Golden Foundation’s existence is not enough to’ crack the world ‘; From the looks of it, the system must have limited me to’ get out ‘of this place to complete the’ decryption ‘.”
As he thought about it, Feng bujue quickly rearranged the document in his hand back to the state it was in when he first took it out. The order was exactly the same.
“Now, the Golden Foundation is using this ’emergency measure’, indicating that they have given up on observing me and have changed their goal to’ stop me from leaving ‘.” Feng bujue’s train of thought had been cleared, and it was becoming clearer.”This change basically revealed a message to me … From the perspective of the Golden Foundation …’The thing that can help me get out’ has already fallen into my hands.”
At that moment, Feng bujue flipped through the documents again and scanned through them from beginning to end at an extremely fast speed.
“This shows that … I have misunderstood the meaning of these documents from the beginning …” This time, after brother Jue finished reading the documents, he smiled.”Those documents that look very funny and those documents that I thought were useful and related to the sleep experiment … Are essentially the same thing. Because my thoughts are still limited to the so-called ‘main plot’ and ‘plot’, I subconsciously classified these documents. ” He shook his head.”But in fact … I only need to use the purest puzzle-solving thought and treat these six documents as a set of fragments that record information.”
With that in mind, dozens of different pieces of information flashed across brother Jue’s eyes. Each piece of information … Was like a thin spider web, and in the end … They formed a huge, organized web.
“Merleywa … Russian … Left …”
“The first ‘five’ days … Nothing abnormal … Keep moving forward … Five intersections …”
“The ‘sixth’ day … The situation is ‘turning’ straight down … Turning … Where to?”
Feng bujue thought about it as he hurried over. When he arrived, he stopped and looked to his left and right.
“In the next few days … The prisoners sat back to back …” He repeated the sentence and noticed that there were two opposite doors on the right-hand side, but there was no door on the left-hand side.”Well … I see …”
After confirming the direction they were going, brother Jue continued on.
“On the ‘ninth’ day … The ‘fourth’ prisoner … Two of them … To the ‘fourteenth’ day …”
The next set of information was a little more difficult. He had to go to three different intersections and find the keywords four and two … Which were the number of doors and their arrangement. Then, he had to walk in the correct direction for fourteen intersections.
After deciphering the hints in the first two files, Feng bujue arrived at the door of a room.
He tried the metal door of the room and the voice he got was: [old metal door, the lock is rusty, but it seems to be able to be opened with brute force.]
With that, brother Jue was relieved.
Now, he didn’t need anyone’s help. He could kick the door open by himself.
Therefore, brother Jue successfully entered the room and found a [key] inside.
The appearance of this item verified his series of deductions.
After Feng bujue placed the key in his pocket, he entered the next stage of the simulation.
“The second experiment has begun … The second part of the journey is about to begin …”
“The experimental specimens and experimental methods used in this experiment will be adjusted so that we can obtain more diverse data … In other words … New ‘rules’ will be adopted in this paragraph, which is more complicated than the first paragraph.”
From a puzzle-solving perspective, every sentence in the experimental report could be interpreted as meaningful information.
“Fifteen prisoners between thirty to sixty years old … Fifteen … Thirty to sixty years old … Hmm … Even-even numbers?”
“One group, five … Same as the first time … Two groups, three … Three and four groups each have two … Five, six, seven each have one …”
The puzzle this time was more complicated than the first paragraph. Feng bujue thought about it, and even though he came up with some theories, he did not manage to solve them.
However, he soon realized that the first puzzle was made up of ‘two documents’, so he might need to read the second puzzle together. Therefore, other than the large number of numbers and concepts provided by The Second Sleep experiment, Feng bujue had also considered the plate of resurrection plan.
“Change water to land use … Change its use … Change its operation mode … Change … The concept?”
“The Novgorod … Round … Change the concept … Re-use …”
“Oh …” Brother Jue thought for a while.”It’s like this …”
When he turned the map in his mind into a flat map, he immediately had a breakthrough.
The second part of the puzzle was indeed very difficult … To be specific, it was to see the base, which looked rectangular from top to bottom, as part of a circle. To put it more vividly … It was like a waffle.
Feng bujue, who had walked around the edge of the base, naturally remembered that the number of corridors in the base was odd and even.
One set, five, the same as the first experiment … It meant that the first step was to go through five sections and move in the same direction as the first step of the first puzzle.
Next … They didn’t look at Team 2, but at Team 1 …
“On the eighth day, a fight broke out in the first group. One person died, and the other four suffered injuries of varying degrees.” This was the next piece of information regarding Group One.
From this point on, the rules had changed. The word “heaven” no longer referred to Duan, but rather the gate. And “fight”,”death”,”injury”… All these words came true in the system’s voice that could be triggered when the door was closed.
And so on. According to this set of prompts, the corridor was regarded as part of the middle of the “circle” and moved in a clockwise manner.
Sometimes; he would even walk “diagonally.; Because the players couldn’t go through the wall, they had to walk diagonally, which was to walk straight, turn, and then walk straight again. However, it was still considered a “section”.
To make a long story short … When the second part of the journey was completed, Feng bujue arrived at the door of a room that needed a key to unlock.
It had taken him a lot of time to get here. Even for brother Jue, it was quite tiring to match the entire base’s floor plan in his mind while simultaneously exchanging encrypted information and analyzing the situation …
“Phew …” After listening to the voice message, brother Jue took a deep breath, took out the key from his pocket, and reached for the lock.
