Chapter 72 How to Escape from the Secret Room (V)



On the other side, Feng Xiaoyun rushed out of the passage with the flashlight, and at the end of the passage was another secret room. This secret room was a study, and there were many things in it. For Feng Xiaoyun, who was in a hurry, he couldn't help but feel a little irritated, but he still patiently began to observe the room.

On one side of the room is a bookcase with quite a few books, as well as some globes and other items, but they are all normal bookcase decorations, and Feng Xiaoyun did not find anything special.

On the left side of the bookcase is a desk with a desk lamp.

On the right side of the bookcase is a freehand landscape painting. A few simple strokes outline a mountain with clouds and mist shrouded on the mountain, and there is a river at the foot of the mountain. However, with Feng Xiaoyun's eyes, he can see that this is just a very ordinary painting and should contain some clues.

Then opposite the bookcase hung a glass chessboard, but there were only black pieces on it and no red flags.

This is the general environment of the room.

Feng Xiaoyun then searched the bookcase carefully but found nothing. However, when he opened the door, he discovered that it was made of one-way glass, which is transparent from one side but impenetrable from the other. Many interrogation rooms in movies and TV series are like this: you can see inside from the outside, but from the inside it's just a mirror.

Looking at the desk, there was nothing else except the desk lamp.

Feng Xiaoyun fumbled around but didn't find that the desk lamp had no switch. There were only several slots underneath, each of which was vertical and arranged in a balanced manner.

There is a small bead in each groove that can slide up and down. Feng Xiaoyun tried to slide it, but there was no response.

Checking the freehand landscape painting again, you can see that it was painted very casually, and it should have been completed not long ago. I think it was painted just for this program, and some clues were hidden in it.

As for the chessboard, it was a glass chessboard hanging on the wall. There was nothing wrong with it except that there were no red chess pieces.

So what was the clue? Feng Xiaoyun's brain began to work frantically. Thanks to the special nature of his soul, he had long discovered that as long as he focused on doing one thing, his efficiency would be very high.

His memory will also become very good. He once took a very obscure medical book that he had never read before. After reading a few pages, even though he did not understand the content, he could remember it very clearly.

According to An Feiyu, the more abnormal something is, the more likely it is to be a clue.

The unusual things in this room include the bookcase glass, the desk lamp without a switch and the slots in front of the desk lamp, the glass chessboard and the landscape painting.

As for the bookcase, although it looked like there were many books, they were all fake. They only had a front and back cover, made to look like hardcover books, but they couldn't be opened. Inside was just a sealed box. He also carefully examined the globe and other items, and there was nothing special about them.

But what is the connection between these abnormal things? An Feiyu said that the mechanism is likely not independent, but connected, and often one special thing will be a hint of another special item.

He opened the bookcase door several times, but aside from being able to see his handsome appearance, it didn't do anything for now. However, since one side was a mirror, it was likely the same secret as the glass box in the first level: it was using light reflection.

If you want to take advantage of light reflection, then this desk lamp is the only light source in the room besides the overhead light.

Feng Xiaoyun checked the desk lamp and found that it could indeed be rotated, but it could only turn towards the side of the bookcase. This means that the function of those mirrors is probably to reflect light.

Then the desk lamp has no switch, and the slide in front of the desk lamp is most likely the switch of the lamp. As long as you slide the beads on each slide to the specific position, you should be able to turn on the desk lamp.

And what determines the position of the beads on the chute? Feng Xiaoyun looked up at the chessboard and the landscape painting. The only thing that hadn't been connected yet was these two things.

Is it a chessboard or a landscape painting? Is it the position of the black pieces on the chessboard?

It shouldn't be. There are 7 slides, which means there are positions for seven beads to slide. There are only four black pieces, so the number is not right.

Could it be a landscape painting? Feng Xiaoyun carefully examined the landscape painting again, seven positions, seven positions.

Suddenly, Feng Xiaoyun's eyes lit up. The mountain was undulating. If the peak was regarded as a point and the valley as a point, wouldn't that be exactly seven points?

Feng Xiaoyun tried to match the beads on the seven chutes with the peaks and valleys in the landscape painting.

With a beep, the desk lamp really emitted a red light, and it was not a scattered light, but a red laser-like light in a beam.

Feng Xiaoyun pointed the desk lamp at the bookcase, opened a door of the bookcase, and let the light shine on the mirror inside. Then he saw that the light was finally reflected onto the chessboard opposite the bookcase. Three red chess pieces could be clearly seen on the chessboard, which were the projections of the reflected light from the desk lamp.

The red chess pieces were a general and two rooks, but no matter how Feng Xiaoyun adjusted the angle, there was no response.

So he switched to another bookcase door, this time at a different angle, but still no reaction. However, Feng Xiaoyun already knew what he had to do. He thought that as long as he could checkmate the black piece with the red piece, he would have cleared the level.

When Feng Xiaoyun opened the door of the third bookcase and adjusted the angle, he saw that the two chariots had indeed trapped the opposing general. The only move the opposing general could make was to move one step to the right, but this would create a situation where two kings would meet, so this was a 100% dead end.

At this moment, Yao Xianer's voice came from the headset: "Ah, the light is on."

Yao Xian'er and Yan Zi discovered that not only were the lights on, but two of the floors in the room that had just looked ordinary actually had footprints on them.

The two tried to stand up separately, but there was no response.

Feng Xiaoyun and An Feiyu were told about the situation through the headset. An Feiyu comforted them on the other end: "It seems that the puzzle of my room has not been solved yet. Wait a minute, this should be the last puzzle. Once I solve this puzzle, your room should be unlocked."

They waited for a few more minutes, and finally An Feiyu's voice came from the other side: "Okay, I've untied it here, can you see if there is any change?"

Yan Zi and Yao Xian'er looked at the floor and found that there had indeed been changes. The number of glowing footprints had increased from two to four.

Two were on the left side of the room, and two were on the right, at least two meters apart. Even the two footprints on the same side were about sixty-seven meters apart.

After listening to their stories, An Feiyu said, "Then you should find a way to step on all four footprints at the same time."

"How do I step on this?" Yao Xian'er said in difficulty.
