The only small door on the north side that provided a clue has been opened, but it is only a door leading to the bathroom and is of no help to the final mission. What they have to do now is to find a way to enter the castle from the middle courtyard.
This is an abandoned courtyard with a dry fountain in the middle and a statue in the middle. The whole courtyard looks like it has been abandoned for a long time and is covered with weeds.
Several people started searching from the fountain, hoping to find some useful clues.
Ten minutes later.
"Have you found anything?" An Feiyu asked, "Especially any obscure marks, numbers, etc."
"No!" Several people shook their heads. This courtyard looked large, but there wasn't much in it. Apart from the fountain in the middle, there was a circular corridor with some round columns. However, they had searched carefully but had not found any clues.
"This is the only statue of King Jiang going to war in the entire courtyard." Feng Xiaoyun said, looking at the statue.
"Do you know this statue?" Yao Xian'er originally thought that it was just an ordinary statue, but from what Feng Xiaoyun said, it seemed that this statue had some background.
"Yes, I've seen the original statue. This is a former prince of Gucheng—King Jiang. When the capital fell, he led 3,000 soldiers from Gucheng to help the emperor recapture the capital."
At this point, Feng Xiaoyun frowned and said, "Something is wrong!"
"Have you found any clues?" An Feiyu and others gathered around.
"I don't know if it counts, but I remember the image of King Jiang going to war, with one hand holding a sword and pointing forward, and his eyes looking straight ahead. But look at this statue, he's actually looking up at the sky."
According to Feng Xiaoyun's description, everyone looked over and found that the statue was indeed holding a sword in one hand, but its head was indeed slightly raised.
Then, looking in the direction of the sword tip, it happened to be the location of one of the doors in the corridor surrounding the courtyard.
"I see. Since this is a sign of an expedition, the direction his sword is pointing should be the direction of the expedition. And there happens to be a door over here, so this should be the door we should enter next."
Several people came to the door. To be honest, this door was no different from the one that Yan Zi and the others had kicked over just now. However, the two of them didn't dare to copy it again, otherwise the director would probably rush in and take them out of the program team.
"Where is the key?" Yao Xian'er asked.
Feng Xiaoyun and An Feiyu looked at each other and raised their heads to look upwards. Since the statue raised its head abnormally, it must be hinting at something.
Sure enough, there was a small hole in the wall above the door, but without a place to stand, they still couldn't reach it.
Feng Xiaoyun had no choice but to squat down, as he was the tallest one among them.
"Come on, whoever is the lightest, step on my shoulder and take a look. The key should be inside."
Yan Zi and Yao Xian'er looked at each other, and then Yao Xian'er signaled that Yan Zi should go first. After all, they were of similar weight, and Feng Xiaoyun was Yan Zi's assistant, so the two were much more familiar with each other.
So An Feiyu and Yao Xian'er supported Yan Zi on the left and right, and waited until she stood firmly on Feng Xiaoyun's shoulders before Feng Xiaoyun slowly stood up.
Feeling Feng Xiaoyun slowly stand up and grab his calves with both hands, Yan Zi was not afraid at all. He held the wall with one hand and turned on the flashlight with the other.
The height was just right, and the flashlight illuminated the small hole, and there was indeed a key lying inside.
Pulling the key out with his fingers, Yan Zi said excitedly, "I got the key."
Feng Xiaoyun slowly squatted down again, and the other two helped Yan Zi down.
Yan Zi happily waved the key in front of a few people, then inserted it into the keyhole. Sure enough, with just a slight turn, the door opened.
I looked inside the door, but it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything.
"Are you ready? Let's go in."
At this time, Feng Xiaoyun and An Feiyu were naturally leading the way.
Although the passage behind the door was very dark, it was very straight. The light from the flashlight was enough to ensure that the people would not fall. The four of them walked forward hand in hand. After walking about seven or eight meters, another door appeared in front of them.
Feng Xiaoyun pushed it gently, and the door was not locked, so it was easily pushed open.
Several people entered the door carefully.
"It's so dark!" Yan Zi said.
"Ah!" Yao Xian'er screamed.
"What's wrong?" The other three people tightened their hands and asked nervously.
"Nothing... nothing. The light in here suddenly flickered and gave me a start."
The few of them finally felt relieved. The room was pitch black when they first entered, but for some reason, it started to flicker after they entered.
As they spoke, the light flickered, and they could finally get a clearer view of the room. It looked like a laboratory, with a cabinet containing some experimental equipment. In front of the cabinet was a table with a balance and a box on it. There seemed to be some formulas on the wall facing the table.
At this moment, the lights in the room completely disappeared and the room fell into darkness again.
An Feiyu said, "We only have two flashlights. Yao Xian'er and I will be in one group. Yan Zi and Feng Xiaoyun will be in another. We will each look for clues. We will check the cabinets, and you will check the table. Don't move anything until you find something."
At this time, the lights in the room began to flicker again. Feng Xiaoyun looked up and saw that the lights were from the three spotlights above his head.
But soon, the lights went out again.
Feng Xiaoyun and Yan Zi walked hand in hand to the front of the table. Feng Xiaoyun suddenly felt a sense of gratitude towards Lan Hui. In the dark room, the two clasped hands, each able to feel the other's heartbeat.
There weren't many things on the table, just a glass box, a balance and a box of weights, but surprisingly there was a note.
"Here is a note." Feng Xiaoyun called An Feiyu and the other one over.
They used a flashlight to illuminate the note and the four of them gathered around to look at it.
"Hello, agents. I'm an undercover agent sent by the organization. The mechanism to open this room is the scale on the table. As long as you place the correct weights on it to balance the scale, the door will open. But you only have one chance. Good luck."
"It seems like this is a clue, but this undercover is too unprofessional. Since he has told us the mechanism, why not just give us the password as well?" Yao Xianer complained.
Several people laughed, which was naturally the effect of the show.
Looking at the table, the balance scale is high at one end and low at the other. Naturally, as long as the weight of the appropriate weight is placed on the high side, the balance scale will be able to remain balanced.
There were 6 weights in that box from small to large, each with a number underneath, from 1 to 6.
"So, now we just need to find new clues and figure out which weight it is."
"Wait!" Yan Zi suddenly stopped the people who were about to search for clues separately.
"Don't talk or make any noise for now," Yan Zi instructed.
