Chapter 1128 Summer Memories (XV)

"Hey! Are you all right?" Two seconds after the entrance was closed, Xiao Tan's shout came across the floor.

"Nothing at the moment." Feng Bujue quickly responded.

In fact, for the two people in the wine cellar, the closing of the entrance did not bring much fear... because the principal's office, like the bottom, was illuminated by flashlights. Therefore, even if the baffle was closed, they would not feel that it became much darker visually, but the "bang" sound was a little scary, of course... it didn't scare Feng Bujue.

"Brother Jue! The baffle closed by itself!" The next second, Xiao Tan shouted again.

"Ah... guessed it." Feng Bujue replied weakly.

This is also obvious, after all, the baffle could not have been closed by Xiao Tan and the others.

"The remote control seems to have lost its function." After a few seconds, Xiao Ling's voice sounded.

She had obviously tried to open the entrance again with the remote control, but failed.

"Hmm..." At this time, Gui Xiao, who came to the entrance and squatted down to check, said, "Touch this baffle with your hand, and you will get a prompt that [it is sealed by a dark force]."

Everyone understood the meaning of this prompt-the way to open this entrance has changed.

"Huh... It seems that from here on, we have to act separately." Feng Bujue smiled and said to his teammates across the floor, "Anyway... you go around and check if there are any flags that can be triggered."

Speaking of this, Xiao Tan and the others must have first thought of the "mysterious man on the playground."

So, the four of them also walked quickly to the window and looked out again.

The result...

"Brother Jue!" In less than ten seconds, Xiao Tan ran back to the top of the entrance and shouted to the bottom, "The man is gone!"

Almost at the same time as he shouted this sentence, suddenly, from the darkness outside the principal's office... came a "whoosh--" sound.

"Eh? That just now..." Jue Ge naturally heard the sound, and then said, "...Is it the sound of the door being pulled open?"

"Uh..." Xiao Tan was stunned for a second, and replied, "It seems so."

There is no doubt that the source of the sound is definitely not on the second floor; because there are only two rooms on the second floor (the principal's office and the warehouse opposite it), and both have swing doors, so... the noise just now must have come from downstairs.

"What should we do? Should we go downstairs to take a look?" After a short silence, An Yueqin asked.

"Of course, this is obviously the main storyline." Feng Bujue under the floor continued, "Anyway, the four of you have already completed the puzzles that can only be solved by specific characters, so it doesn't matter if you die next, so... you can go without worry."

"What are you going to do?" Xiao Tan asked again, "Do you want to... leave someone here to pick you up?"

"Absolutely not." Feng Bujue replied firmly, "Leaving someone here to wait is like leaving a flashlight here to waste... How is this possible?" He paused, "Go and explore yours quickly, the two of us are fine; after you finish dealing with the plot outside, maybe we can go out."

He was right At this moment, the two teams just happened to have two flashlights each; in the wine cellar, Feng Bujue was holding Xiao Tan's flashlight, and Ruoyu was holding her own; and outside, Xiao Ling and An Yueqin each held their own flashlights; although the power of the above four flashlights was different, they were all mostly depleted... If nothing unexpected happened, within the next ten minutes, these four flashlights would go out one by one...

"Okay... We understand." After a few seconds, Xiao Tan and the others reached a consensus, "Then... Brother Jue, you guys be careful, we'll go first."

"Let's go quickly, don't waste time." Brother Jue responded without any sense of crisis, but rather a little impatience.

So, the four outside had no psychological burden, they left the principal's office together and went back to the first floor.

Feng Bujue and Li Ruoyu were trapped in the narrow secret wine cellar...

"Is it really okay for you to do this?" About ten seconds later, after confirming that everyone had gone far away by hearing, Ruoyu said, "You should have noticed it too... Since the moment the entrance was sealed, this place..."

"I know." Feng Bujue interrupted him, "But I don't think it's necessary to let them know..." He paused for half a second and continued, "Even if you tell them that 'the air in the wine cellar is almost catching up with the gaseous alcohol', they can't do anything, so it's better not to tell them... so as not to add unnecessary pressure to them."

Obviously, both of them have noticed... The situation triggered by the entrance being blocked is not "light change" but "air change"; the former can only make people feel a little scared, but the latter... is a physiological effect.

"So... what should we do now?" Ruoyu asked, "Are we really just going to wait... for the entrance to open automatically?"

"It's rare to have such conditions, how about we make some fun while we're drunk?" At this time, Feng Bujue turned his head and shone the flashlight on his face from bottom to top, revealing a... um... how to describe it... "lewd smile" seems to be more appropriate.

"Okay~ Come on~" Unexpectedly, Ruoyu responded in the affirmative, but... the expression on her face was dead fish eyes and a paralyzed face, and her tone was a mocking one. read.

"Haha... no problem~" Feng Bujue laughed a few more times, and then said in the tone of a TV show where gangsters molest good women on the street, "Beauty, are you alone?"

"Yes." Ruoyu replied.

"Hehe..." Feng Bujue said again, "Do you want to find a place with me where no one is around to talk about life?"

"Are you talking about what we are doing at the moment?" Ruoyu continued.

"Uh..." Brother Jue was a little overwhelmed. Whenever he was in crisis, he would instinctively use a countermeasure - to further lower the lower limit, "Haha... what, otherwise... we Let’s do something sexy and shameless together.”

"Spit in your mouth?" Ruoyu continued to use her cold tone and sharp on-the-spot reaction to attack Brother Jue's unethical words and deeds.

"Ha--" Finally, Brother Jue sighed, "Okay, okay~ I won't joke with you anymore..." When he said this, he finally regained his serious (relatively speaking) attitude, "Let's move on. Bar."

After that, without waiting for Ruoyu's response, he turned around and continued forward, reaching the wall at the other end in a few steps.

"Is there a road over there?" Ruoyu asked as he followed.

"There is no road, but there is an obvious puzzle..." Brother Jue said, turning slightly to the side, revealing a row of wine racks in front of him.

This wine rack has three levels, each with five wooden slots. At this moment, there are five bottles of wine in the fifteen wooden troughs. Two bottles in the first row are located on the far left; one bottle in the second row is located in the fourth grid; two bottles in the third row are located in the first and The fifth grid.

"This..." Ruoyu reacted quickly, "Is it echoing the 'Graffiti on the Tower of Hanoi' prompt in the women's restroom?"

"It should be." Feng Bujue replied.

"But... you can also solve this puzzle." Ruoyu continued, "Is Hanjiao a girl in the setting?"

"How could it be possible... Then there should be only two prompts in the men's room." Feng Bujue replied, "In my opinion... it's because it doesn't matter who unlocks the prompts themselves." He paused for a second, and then said, "The Nine Palaces diagram suggested by tic_tac_toe, and the hint of 'pay attention to your steps'... aren't they all solved by me?"

"So?" Ruoyu motioned for him to continue.

"So... a hint is a hint, and it doesn't matter who discovers the connection." Feng Bujue said, "The key is... there should be some kind of problem that only a specific character can solve in the place where the hint points. "He immediately gave an example, "For example... where the 'tic_tac_toe graffiti' prompt is used, a person who can play the piano is used; where the 'beware of the pool' prompt is used, a person who can dissect is needed; and where the 'tic_tac_toe graffiti' prompt is used, a person who can dissect is needed. Pay attention to the tips under your feet, you need a height of 1.6 meters..."

"Hmm..." Ruoyu heard this and continued thoughtfully, "It makes sense... The place where the 'pattern pattern' prompt was used just now requires a person with strong mathematical ability."

"Yes." Feng Bujue nodded and continued, "The things pointed to by the prompt may not necessarily be things that require specific skills to deal with, but... when such things appear, it means that the puzzle that requires specific skills to solve is there. Nearby."

"Understood." Ruoyu said, and glanced at the wine rack again, "In that case, it's up to you to solve this 'Tower of Hanoi' puzzle."

"I think so too." Feng Bujue said, "Please help me keep an eye on it, just in case any monster appears from the surrounding walls, ceiling, floor, or even the bottle when I move the bottle. Help me slap it."

"Okay." Ruoyu agreed to the request calmly.

Afterwards, Feng Bujue was ready to start moving the wine bottles.

However……

"Eh?" As soon as he picked up the first bottle of wine, he froze with doubt on his face.

"What's wrong?" Ruoyu asked.

Feng Bujue didn't reply, but silently turned the wine bottle in his hand half a circle and showed the wrapping paper on the bottle in front of Ruoyu.

"This is..." The wrapping paper that caught Ruoyu's sight didn't have even a single word on it... the brand, name, description, year... nothing at all; what was printed on the wrapping paper looked like a painting.

"Ha..." After thinking for a moment, Ruoyu sneered, "So that's what happened."

"That's all for picking it up." Feng Bujue shrugged, put the bottle back on the wine rack, and walked sideways around Ruoyu to make way for the place in front of the wine rack.

Ruoyu didn't waste any time. After taking two steps, he picked up the five bottles of wine one by one and began to identify the painting printed on the bottle.

…………

Here, let’s talk about the rules of the so-called “Tower of Hanoi Game”.

This game originates from an ancient Indian legend. I won’t go into details about the content of the legend here... Simply put, the rule is to set up three pillars first, and put a number of discs on one of the pillars. The size must be from small to large from top to bottom; and the goal of the game is to move all the disks on a pillar under the premise that only one disk can be moved at a time and the disk cannot be enlarged above the small disk. The discs all move to another pillar.

This is not a very complicated game. Most people can quickly figure out the movement patterns and complete the movement in the shortest steps.

For the example in front of us, the three floors of the wine cellar are equivalent to three pillars, and the five bottles of wine are equivalent to five discs from small to large; but the question is... how to distinguish this "size"?

The reason why Jue Ge thought he could solve this puzzle just now was... he thought he could easily distinguish the "size" represented by the five bottles of wine.

But, as mentioned above, when he saw the bottles, he found that the information recorded on the bottles was something he could not decipher.

If the information given here was words, numbers, secret codes, or if there were slight differences in the size and shape of the bottles themselves, Jue Ge would definitely be able to solve it; unfortunately... there were five paintings printed on the five bottles of wine.

Needless to say, only Ruoyu, who runs a gallery at home, can sort the five bottles of wine in the face of such a prompt.

…………

“Okay, it’s confirmed.” In less than two minutes, Ruoyu spoke again, and stretched out her narrow fingers, gently tapping the wine bottle in front of her, “There are a few small traps here… At first I thought it was arranged according to the time of painting, but soon I found that the creation time of this painting “Beauty of the Harem” by Duset was unknown, and it can only be confirmed that it was painted in the second half of the 19th century; this has a certain conflict with “Alyonushka” published in 1881, and it is impossible to determine which one came first and which one came later…”

While explaining to Jue Ge, she was already moving the five bottles of wine.

“Then I considered the size, genre, style, and even the situation of the creator at the time, etc.… But some of the information has exceeded my knowledge reserve. So I changed my mind and finally found the problem…”

At this point, she had put all five bottles of wine into the five slots on the top layer of the wine rack.

Just as her hand left the bottle mouth, she heard a "click" and the sound of some mechanism starting came from the wine rack.

Then, the system prompt came: [Move the five bottles of wine to the bottom shelf in the correct way and order].

"It seems that I was right..." Ruoyu continued after hearing the voice, "The original location and distance of the five bottles of wine imply that the five painters were in three different eras and the order of their death; therefore... the basis for arranging the five bottles of wine is the 'lifespan' of the five painters."

After that, she did not wait for the confused Jue Ge to make any expression, and began to move the bottles according to the rules of the Tower of Hanoi.

In fact, Ruoyu was a little anxious in her heart, because... after staying in this place full of "wine smell" for a while, she was indeed a little drunk. Not to mention the red cheeks, even the head was a little dizzy... This is not a good sign. (To be continued.)
