The Beloved Heiress's Dark Side (12)
Zhang Dayong was somewhat surprised: "No, if this box malfunctions, it will explode immediately."
"No, the condition for this box to explode is that we press down on the three combination locks with our hands, making them stop, and the three numbers that stop are different. Now, you're not touching the combination locks with your hands, but just making the box keep malfunctioning, returning to normal, and malfunctioning again. This doesn't meet the conditions for an explosion."
"Really? I'm so confused."
Professor Pan nodded and said, "Jian Tanxi is right. If the box breaks on its own, it won't explode."
Zhang Dayong asked, "But what's the point of doing this?"
Jian Tanxi said, "If this box malfunctions, won't the combination lock stop turning? Since the combination lock has stopped, it must be stuck on a certain number. If the three numbers are the same, the box will open automatically."
If the numbers don't match, restore the box to normal, turn the combination lock again, and then repeat the above steps.
This process will continue indefinitely until, eventually, all three combination locks will lock onto the same number.
Zhang Dayong said, "I understand a little... but trying again and again like this feels like a gamble... it's hard to make all three numbers the same."
"It is indeed a matter of probability, but at least we have the opportunity to try and fail. Your ability doesn't have a limit on the number of uses, right?"
"There is no limit to the number of times you can use this ability, but you can only use it on the same item per game."
"That's great. I think your special ability is a perfect match for this box, it couldn't be more so."
"Oh, I'll give it a try."
Zhang Dayong stared at the box and activated his "Instant Malfunction" ability.
The combination lock on the box stopped turning, and the numbers remained at "246", which did not meet the conditions for opening.
However, the box did not explode.
This proves that Jian Tanxi's initial analysis was correct. As long as the combination lock isn't stopped by hand, it won't explode.
So, Zhang Dayong became bolder. He withdrew his supernatural power and returned the box to normal.
The combination lock on the box started turning again.
Soon, Zhang Dayong activated his "Instant Failure" ability for the second time.
The combination lock's numbers remained "776".
Jian Tanxi sighed, "Ah, so close... so very close..."
Meng Yuening said, "There's no other way, let's continue..."
...
The 7th time, the number was "933".
...
The 18th time, the number was "114".
...
The 45th time, the number is "222".
Everyone's become so used to it that they didn't even realize it had succeeded this time.
The three numbers were exactly the same, and the box opened automatically, revealing a well-preserved human brain inside.
Only then did everyone realize what was happening.
Everyone struggled to control themselves and refrained from cheering. After all, this was the Ou family's residence, and there was no telling what other dangers lay ahead.
Professor Pan took out an age-measuring pen and measured the brain's age.
"The brain is 78 years old; it should be Mr. Ou's brain."
Jian Tanxi whispered, "Great...we've finally found a brain..."
Her hands clenched into fists, suppressing her excitement.
The other teammates were also very excited, but Professor Pan, who had experienced many things in life, remained calm and composed, simply maintaining a smile.
Meng Yuening asked, "How should we take this brain with us?"
Professor Pan said, "Try closing the box."
He closed the box again, and this time, a button appeared on it. Pressing the button would reopen the box.
Therefore, carrying this brain is not a problem; it can still be placed in the original box.
Next, we need to find the minds of the rest of the Ou family.
Just then, everyone heard a series of knocks on the door.
Who would be knocking on the door at this moment?
Ou Bao'er's voice rang out from outside the door: "Open...the door..."
Jian Tanxi got goosebumps, but with so many teammates around, she didn't need to be afraid.
Fan Siqi stepped forward to protect everyone.
No one made a sound, hoping that Ou Bao'er would think no one was in the room and leave as soon as possible.
However, Ou Bao'er kept knocking on the door.
After knocking for a while, she actually smashed the door open with her head.
She stood straight in the doorway, saying, "I...found...you......"
Her back was connected to a piece of floor, making it look like she was carrying the floor on her back.
It seems the super glue stuck to her was still effective, but she managed to get up, pulling the floorboards stuck to her up with her.
Meng Yuening whispered, "Don't be afraid, she's alone, there are six of us..."
She was speaking with her head down, and it was unclear whether she was talking to her teammates or comforting herself.
Seeing that even the strong-willed Meng Yuening could be afraid, Jian Tanxi couldn't help but laugh.
Fan Siqi and Professor Pan both looked coldly at Ou Bao'er, without making any rash moves.
Ou Bao'er said slowly, "Untie...me..."
Her dark gaze slowly swept over the people present, sending a chill down your spine.
Fan Siqi naturally couldn't remove the restraining ring from her body.
Jian Tanxi remembered her purpose and threw a "good person card" at Ou Bao'er, saying, "You're a good person! Tell me why your father's brain is floating in the sky!"
Ou Bao'er blinked blankly and said, "Dad... Dad..."
She seemed to have something to say, but in the end said nothing. She simply jumped in front of the player and asked repeatedly, "Want...to...take...a...health...pill...?"
Meng Yuening couldn't help but say, "What health pill? I think it's a zombie pill. If you eat it, you'll lose your brain and turn into a zombie..."
Jian Tanxi was very confused. Why did the "good guy card" become invalid?
Zhang Dayong asked Jian Tanxi, "Jian Tanxi, can your 'good guy' card make others do what you ask?"
Jian Tanxi said, "Yes."
"Why didn't Opal answer your question?"
"I don't know... Is it because Opal is too strong, and the 'nice guy' card doesn't work on her?"
The "good person card" had fallen to the ground. Jian Tanxi picked it up and saw that it was already cracked and quickly fell to pieces. This meant that the "good person card" had been used and could no longer be used.
Fan Siqi said, "If your 'good guy card' really works, then there's another possibility that she's not telling the truth: someone gave her a higher-priority item that prevented her from telling the truth. The 'good guy card' has a lower priority than that item, so it can't break through it. I think she wanted to say something just now, but she didn't."
Zhang Dayong said, "But isn't the boss of this dungeon Ou Bao'er? Who else can give her items?"
Fan Siqi: "I don't know either, this is just a guess. Another possibility is that Ou Bao'er is indeed very strong, so she is immune to being friend-zoned."
Ou Bao'er continued to relentlessly approach the players. However, whenever she got close, the player would automatically move three feet away from her.
So, everyone was talking while trying to avoid Ou Bao'er.
This is quite troublesome. We must make Ou Bao faint or lose her ability to move, otherwise it will affect everyone's actions.
Fan Siqi and Zhang Dayong both tried to flick sleeping pills into her mouth, but she dodged quickly and they couldn't get them into her mouth at all.
Qu Chen found a water gun at some point and is now figuring out how to play with it.
Jian Tanxi suddenly had an idea. She secretly took Qu Chen's water gun, poured the water into her own boiling teapot, poured the boiling water back into the water gun, and then put in a sleeping pill.
The sleeping pill dissolved in boiling water. Jian Tanxi shook the water gun and sprayed water at Ou Bao'er's face.
Ou Bao'er wasn't paying attention and got splashed with water on her face, making her feel a little dizzy.
Jian Tanxi took the opportunity to hand the water gun to Meng Yuening so that Meng Yuening could continue using it.
Because Ou Bao'er's attention was currently focused on Jian Tanxi, guarding against Jian Tanxi's next attack, she didn't pay any attention to Meng Yuening.
Meng Yuening seized the opportunity and continued to spray water on Ou Baoer's face.
After spraying a few times, Ou Bao'er collapsed.
However, most of the water spilled outside, and only a small portion went into Opal's mouth, so her drowsy period may not have been long.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Meng Yuening pried open Ou Bao'er's mouth and fed her another sleeping pill.
In this way, Ou Bao'er can sleep for five hours.
Zhang Dayong said, "What should we do next? The eldest son of the Ou family's brain is floating in the sky, the second son's brain is in the woods, but we don't know which woods it is. And the third son's brain has turned into a walnut? Do we have to find all the walnuts here? And, does 'turned into a walnut' mean exactly what it says? I feel like no matter whose brain it is, it's going to be hard to find..."
Jian Tanxi tried putting the box containing Old Master Ou's brain into her personal space, and to her surprise, it actually went in.
Then she said, "How about... we try to find the servants here and see if they'd be willing to provide any clues?"
Meng Yuening said, "Since we arrived here, we haven't encountered any servants... And even if we did, who knows if they're still normal? What if they've turned into zombies or other terrifying creatures?"
Jian Tanxi suddenly remembered her ability to talk to animals, so she said to her teammates, "Can you help me find some animals around here?"
After searching for a while, Fan Siqi found a crow in the garden.
Jian Tanxi asked the crow, "Hello, do you know what happened to the Ou family?"
The crow exclaimed, "Terrible, absolutely terrifying..."
"So, you know?"
"I saw a person's brain being put into a red balloon and flying into the sky..."
When did this happen?
"A few days ago..."
Where is that red balloon?
"I don't know, it flew far away..."
"What else do you know?"
"there is none left……"
After saying that, the crow flew away.
Jian Tanxi told her teammates what Crow had said.
Professor Pan said, "If Grandpa Ou's brain was inside the balloon, after so many days, the balloon might have burst, and his brain might be lost somewhere. Even if it were found, it would probably be in pieces and unusable."
Zhang Dayong said, "Doesn't that mean there's no hope? We can't pass the level?"
Jian Tanxi said, "I don't think so. So far, we've found a solution to every game we've encountered, so it's unlikely we won't be able to pass this one. If the balloon is made of special materials, it might not burst. It's just that we don't know where the balloon has drifted off to. If we can find the balloon, things will be much easier."
Meng Yuening asked, "You just said the balloon was red?"
Jian Tanxi nodded: "That's right, that's what the crow told me... Wait, Sister Meng, do you have a special ability to detect all red objects within a 20-mile radius?"
