Chapter 1124 Summer Memories (XI)

When Ruoyu and the other three came out of the women's restroom, Brother Jue and the other three boys had been waiting at the door for more than a minute.

"How was it? Did you gain anything?" Feng Bujue asked.

"I haven't found any items, but... there seems to be a hint." An Yueqin replied.

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ling continued to explain: "In the women's restroom, there are three graffiti painted on a wall - the first one is a game of tic_tac_toe (three consecutive chess games) in the middle of the game, and the second one is It’s a Tower of Hanoi game, and the third painting is a bit weird...it looks like a bunch of irregular patterns, made up of many curves, with unclear meaning.”

"Have you memorized all three patterns?" Feng Bujue asked immediately.

"We must remember the first two pictures." It was Ruoyu who answered this time, "But the third picture... only Xiaoling can completely remember it."

"Oh... OK." Feng Bujue nodded, "Now that I have remembered everything, let's set off."

"Eh? What's going on over there?" Seeing Brother Jue turn around and leave, An Yueqin quickly asked.

"Of course I have written down everything about our situation, but in order to save time, I suggest we talk while walking." When Feng Bujue replied, he had already pulled Xiaotan and headed towards the second floor side by side.

Seeing this, the others said nothing and quickly followed. An Yueqin, who was holding another "open flashlight", also consciously walked to the back of the team and was responsible for breaking up the rear.

"The situation in the men's restroom is similar to yours." After walking only two or three meters, Brother Jue began to explain, "There is no graffiti here, but behind the door panels of the three squatting stalls, there are There is a line of words..." He paused, and then continued, "Behind the door panel of the first compartment is written 'Be careful of the pool'; behind the second one is written 'Watch your step'; and the third one is 'Don't stand in the water'. Running in the corridor'.

"Well..." Brother Jue had just finished speaking, and Xiao Ling said, "Captain. Have you noticed the information hidden in the two toilets? It's probably..."

"That's right." Feng Bujue continued before the other party could finish his words, "Those messages are all 'important tips' about each room." He paused for half a second, then continued, "The tic_tac_toe graffiti in the women's room , is obviously a hint to the idea of ​​"Nine Gongge"; the puzzle of Jiugongge appears in the music classroom, and the puzzle in the music classroom can only be solved by "Sanqianyuan", and because Sanqianyuan is a girl... so the clues appear In the women's room."

"Oh! I see." Hear this. Xiaotan also interjected, "According to what you said... the phrase 'be careful with the sink' in the men's room is a reminder of the sink in the biology classroom; the puzzles in the biology classroom have to be solved by me... that is, 'Sawada', And Sawada is a boy, so the clue is in the men’s room.”

"Yes." Feng Bujue responded, "In other words, after we come out of the second-year Class A classroom, the best course of action should be to go to the toilet first; if we have After reading the clues in the toilet, we can solve the mystery of the 'seat number' more leisurely, and Xiaotan is likely to avoid being hurt by the monster," he said. Shrugging, "But... it's not too late now. Our team is relatively strong after all. Although we didn't follow the best process, we didn't suffer much loss. Anyway, just pay attention next time."

"Then...based on this inference. Can we deduce it like this..." Ruoyu thought of something again at this moment. She looked at Brother Jue and said, "In the future scripts, we will have to crack at least four more Each of these four areas has to be solved by you, me, Xiao Ling and Gui Xiao using some unique skills."

"Yes." Feng Bujue replied, "This development is very likely."

"If that's the case, then we don't have much time." Gui Xiao also added in a timely manner, "Even counting the classroom at the beginning. At present, we have only explored two and a half areas... This is already a My personal flashlight is out of power; if we continue according to the previous progress, the lighting equipment will probably not last until the last room."

"Don't worry. I have already considered this matter." Feng Bujue immediately answered, "From now on, we will speed up the pace and explore two more areas. If the situation goes bad, we will return to the biology classroom. Use the alcohol and gauze on the experimental table to make a few torches. Using that method... I think it will last about half an hour. "

"Oh...and this hand." Gui Xiao felt a little relieved after hearing this.

The conversation between several people had reached this point, and they happened to reach the bottom of the row of steps.

Xiao Tan, who was taking the lead, didn't think much about it. He just raised his flashlight and looked up, and then he was ready to go upstairs.

However, at this moment...

"Slow down!" Brother Jue, who was standing almost side by side with Xiao Tan, suddenly stretched out a hand to stop him, and quickly said, "Something's wrong..."

In this gloomy and depressing environment, the phrase "something is wrong" itself is also a factor that can make people feel scared...

"Wha...what?" Xiaotan took his feet back and responded hesitantly.

"Look carefully..." Feng Bujue turned his head and pointed towards the steps ahead with his eyes, "There are footprints... on the steps."

"Eh?" After being reminded by the other party, Xiao Tan quickly discovered this, "Oh! It's true!"

Indeed, there are footprints on the wooden steps, but... you have to shine the light directly on them and look at them from a certain angle to see them clearly.

The width of this step is about one meter and two. There is a footprint on each step, and there is no sole texture in the footprint. There is only an "outline" on the outermost circle, which looks like "hollow" Same.

"It seems... this is where the 'pay attention to your steps' prompt." Feng Bujue said, "It's not in the room, but on the stairs, ha..." At this point, he couldn't help but smile, " It’s hard to guard against it~”

"Then... how to solve this puzzle?" Gui Xiao, who was following him, asked.

"Isn't this obvious? Just follow the footprints on the steps and step on them all the way up." Feng Bujue said.

"Oh... I'll just press... eh?" Gui Xiao instinctively wanted to answer, but halfway through he felt something was wrong, "Why did I get in first?"

"Nonsense, since this is a puzzle corresponding to the prompt in the men's room, it must require a boy to solve it." Feng Bujue replied, "Sawada, played by Xiao Tan, has already completed the anatomy puzzle in the biology classroom. , so it’s just you and me.”

"Then what basis did you use to judge that you should not go here?" Gui Xiao asked again.

When Feng Bujue heard this, he immediately raised one leg. He hung the soles of his feet on the footprints on the first step, and said a word with what he thought was a very standard English pronunciation: "LOOK."

Gui Xiao took a closer look. He raised his eyes and thought, "Tch...is it because your feet are big?"

"My feet are not big, but they are definitely not as small as some people who are less than 1.7 meters tall." Feng Bujue was able to add personal attack words to a very normal communication without even thinking about it. This is really a kind of Talented.

"Stop talking! I haven't finished growing yet!" Gui Xiao replied fiercely, took a few steps forward, and turned on his flashlight again, "Okay, okay... I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. I'm in a hurry now. important."

In order to take the overall situation into consideration, Gui Xiao did not continue to argue with Brother Jue, but immediately started to take action.

Squeak——

This was the sound when Gui Xiao's feet stepped on the first step... It sounded like the sound made by a wooden board that could be broken at any time.

Of course, although the sound is scary, the steps are not actually disconnected.

"Let me go...the layout of the footprints is quite sharp..." Just as Gui Xiao was about to take the second step, he discovered that the left footprint on the second step was actually in the right footprint on the first step. On the right side, "Are you going to go upstairs with a Yangko twist?"

Complaints are complaints, this is the end of the matter...if we take a step back, we don't know what will happen. So he could only bite the bullet and finish the road in front of him.

So, Gui Xiao began his journey up the stairs step by step.

After taking only a few steps, Gui Xiao noticed... that the outline of the footprints almost matched the size of his feet. This made him feel uncomfortable, but it also proved that Brother Jue was right. He has to crack the mechanism on this level.

Level one, level two...

Gui Xiao's balance was good. Even though the distribution of footprints on the steps was deliberately embarrassing, he still stepped on every footprint steadily.

After walking up twelve steps, Gui Xiao came to a corner connecting two steps.

There were no footprints in this area, so he stepped on it directly. The moment his two feet stepped on this surface, the twelve steps he had stepped on made a "creep" sound. Strange noise.

Immediately afterwards, a faint black smoke rose from the steps, and along with the faint smoke... the outline of the footprints on the steps also disappeared.

"Hmm..." Feng Bujue saw this. He read, "After you step on it, you can walk up and down the stairs as you please."

After that, he raised his feet and walked up two levels to give it a try. Nothing happened, even the "squeaking" sound was gone.

With this, everyone no longer hesitated; within ten seconds, all five people in the team walked to the corner of the stairs.

"OK... then I'll go up." After everyone was in place, Gui Xiao stepped forward again to step on the second half of the stairs.

Squeak—squeak—

Just like the first half, when Gui Xiao was breaking the mechanism, the steps were still making noise.

Because of his experience, he walked a little faster this time. After a few steps, his sight crossed the height of the second floor floor. At this time, if he looked forward, he could see the corridor on the second floor.

And Gui Xiao... indeed raised his flashlight and looked up.

It didn't matter, it almost scared him so much that he rolled downstairs.

"Hey..." Maybe he was too frightened. Gui Xiao didn't shout this time. He just used a flashlight to shine on what he saw, and said in a crying voice without looking back, "You guys Do you still remember the guy who appeared outside the window we saw in the second-year Class A classroom..."

Feng Bujue, who was standing behind, had already noticed something strange from Gui Xiao's trembling back. When he heard this, Brother Jue immediately reacted: "Have you seen it?"

"Well..." Gui Xiao's word "well" was accompanied by an extremely obvious vibrato, "He is currently lying down about one meter away from the last step, in a prostrate posture... and looking at it with a sinister smile on his face. I."

"How is your condition?" Feng Bujue asked.

"My legs are weak, and I may kneel down or fall down the stairs at any time." Gui Xiao doesn't like to beat around the bush, so he just says what he wants to say.

"No way? You've already seen it, what's there to be afraid of?" Feng Bujue said again at this time.

"That's what I said..." Gui Xiao replied, "But the same is 'seeing', looking at it from a data perspective, and looking at it like this is very different..." He explained, "The former is like looking at a dot matrix, and the latter is like watching a horror movie."

"Then you can look at a horror movie as a dot matrix." Feng Bujue said in a long voice.

"I don't have your ability..." Gui Xiao said he was powerless.

"Then think so..." Feng Bujue said, "The worst situation at the moment is nothing more than - when you walk over, he suddenly pounces on you; this is no different from you being attacked by an ordinary monster, right? At that time, you can bear it, fight it, and die... What's the big deal?"

"You said so... It really helped a lot!" The third part of Gui Xiao's sentence was almost roared, showing that he was once again in a state of extreme fear and anger.

"Although I don't want to interrupt your chat, I think it's better to remind you..." At this time, Ruoyu, who was standing next to Brother Jue, suddenly interrupted, "Gui Xiao... The flashlight in your hand, but there is not much power left; if you go up now, there is still a chance to use the light to force the monster back or suppress it; but if you continue to stand there and stare at the monster, when the flashlight goes out, I'm afraid it will go down without you going up..."

"Ah--"

Before Ruoyu finished speaking, Gui Xiao shouted, and stepped on the footprints on the steps accurately at a very fast speed, step by step.

Obviously, Ruoyu's words worked...

This incident tells us that one of the ways to force a person to face the fear in front of him is to use a pressure that makes him more afraid to force him to act.

After just five seconds, Gui Xiao reached the end of the stairs, and as he approached, the monster retreated...

With every step Gui Xiao took, the expression on the monster's face changed, and finally... the grin turned into a twisted fear.

Finally, when Gui Xiao stepped on the last footprint, the monster screamed under the close illumination of the light, and instantly turned into a black gas and dissipated.

When Gui Xiao's feet stepped onto the corridor on the second floor, there was only a pair of shoes left on the ground where the monster crawled. (To be continued ~^~)
