Wang Xiaohai read "Detailed Explanation of the Secret Passage in the Ancient Castle" in detail.
During this time, the candle in his hand burned out, and he lit another one.
"Oh, so there are two types of staircases leading upstairs, an inner and outer staircase. However, the seven inner stairs were destroyed in a riot, leaving only the outer staircase." Wang Xiaohai said as he flipped through the book. "It's recorded in pen that once all the servants in the castle rioted. The castle lord sent guards to suppress them, but unexpectedly, one of the servants was particularly ruthless. His name was Richard. He killed the guards and the entire castle lord's family, and sealed off all the staircases, trapping them inside to death."
"It turns out that the stairs and entrance to this underground cell were also sealed by Richard and his men." Fang Fang realized something.
Wang Xiaohai flipped through the book quickly, memorized all the content, and then closed the book.
"There is a secret door in this underground cell," said Wang Xiaohai.
"Where is it?" Fang Fang asked. "Since this skeleton has this book, he should also know about this secret door. Why doesn't he go out?"
"Because he couldn't open the lock of the secret door." said Wang Xiaohai.
"Then you can open it?" Fang Fang said.
"I can't open it. We'll both starve to death here." Wang Xiaohai said, "Hurry up and write your suicide note."
"No, you should try it." Fang Fang said, "Brother Xiaohai, my ancestor Xiaohai."
"Since you call me ancestor, I'll go open the secret door." Wang Xiaohai went out with a candle.
A three-dimensional image of an ancient castle appeared in Wang Xiaohai's mind.
He went in and out of the staff room by memory and finally came to a utility room.
"Is that so?" Fang Fang asked from behind.
Wang Xiaohai nodded: "Go over and move the bookcase in the corner."
"Why don't you move?" Fang Fang said.
"Because I'm holding a candle, stupid!"
Wang Xiaohai kicked Fang Fang and said, "Hurry over there."
Fang Fang had no choice but to move the bookcase aside as she was told. A steel wall appeared behind it. There was a square secret compartment on the wall, and a nine-by-nine Rubik's Cube was placed next to it.
"Is this the key and the lock?" Fang Fang pointed at the secret compartment and the Rubik's Cube.
"Yes, this is one of the ingenious ideas of ancient craftsmen. It's called the Rubik's Cube Lock," Wang Xiaohai replied. "Put all six sides of the Rubik's Cube together and put them into the secret compartment, and you can open the secret door."
"There are eighty-one squares on this one hundred, and the colors are all jumbled up. How can I put it together?" Fang Fang complained. "If I were to do it, I probably wouldn't be able to put together six sides in my lifetime!"
"So you can only get zero points in the exam." Wang Xiaohai put the candle on the cabinet, picked up the Rubik's Cube, and twisted it quickly, his hands as fast as an afterimage.
Two minutes later.
"It's done." Wang Xiaohai threw the Rubik's Cube to Fang Fang.
"So fast? This broke the record for the fastest solving of a ninth-order Rubik's Cube in the Evil Spirit Continent!" Fang Fang was surprised. "From now on, I'll call you Wang Xiaohai, the brainiest! I'll call you Brother Wang Hai, the fastest solver!"
"Get lost! Stop flattering me! There are many people who are faster than me. I won't fall for it!" Wang Xiaohai kicked Fang Fang and said, "Hurry and open the door."
Fang Fang held the Rubik's Cube and gently placed it into the secret compartment on the wall.
A flash of scanning light passed by, and the metal wall rumbled and slowly opened to both sides, revealing a dark passage.
"I'm leaving first. Please keep the Rubik's Cube and don't mess it up, otherwise you will be locked up here for the rest of your life. Bye!" Wang Xiaohai picked up the candle on the cabinet and walked towards the dark passage.
"Goodbye!" Fang Fang said.
The pain would come back in a few minutes, and he had to close the door quickly. The thought of living with the skeletons underground made his scalp tingle.
Besides, it was dark and quiet here, and he was alone. It was scary to think about it. If there was a sudden noise behind him, he would be scared to death!
"Ah! The candles are all gone!"
Fang Fang screamed, and now even the last ray of light disappeared.
There is only infinite darkness!
