Xu Weiwei's guess does make sense, at least it is one of the directions of thinking. As for whether it is correct, it remains to be verified. However, at least there is a direction, so everyone can work towards it, which is better than rushing around aimlessly.

From the information we have so far, the inn puzzle is very different from the library puzzle. The answer to the library puzzle is clear the moment the dead librarian comes out, and everyone just needs to do their best to solve the puzzle of the librarian.

But the current inn puzzle is different. Although the inn manager is missing, disappearance and death are two different things after all and cannot be confused. Now everyone is not 100% sure about the answer to the inn puzzle. For the time being, the only goal is to find the inn manager.

"But there is another question, which is about Room 0." Qiuyue said: "In addition to the whereabouts of the hotel manager, I think... the secret of Room 0 must be very important."

Qiuyue's reminder was very timely, reminding everyone not to forget the important clue of Room 0. At present, in the entire hotel building, everyone has only Room 0 on the tenth floor that they have not entered. If everyone is still missing some information, it is very likely that it is hidden in Room 0.

"The hotel manager said before... Room 0 on the first floor is his office, and from the second floor up, every room 0 is off-limits... He seems to have never said that Room 0 on the first floor is not enterable, right?" Shirley touched her chin and said softly.

"Well... indeed, the hotel manager didn't seem to say anything like Room 0 on the first floor cannot be entered. In other words, if we try to enter Room 0 on the first floor now, it doesn't count as breaking the building rules." Lin Tianlang nodded, agreeing with Shirley's words.

So, everyone came to the door of Room 0 on the first floor and tried to open it. Room 0 on the first floor was locked, and the way it was locked was using a magic lock array, so it was definitely impossible to open this door using conventional means, and a method had to be found.

"Huh... this magic lock formation seems to have some mystery." After observing for a while, Xu Weiwei suddenly said.

"What's wrong? Did you find anything?" Lin Tianlang came over and said.

"If you observe carefully the magic lock array that locks the door - I mean, penetrate your mental power into it and observe carefully, you can find that this lock array is not a unified one." Xu Weiwei explained.

Lin Tianlang did as Xu Weiwei said, releasing a little of his mental power and infiltrating it into the magic lock array. Then, he immediately discovered the mystery of it.

Generally speaking, these magic arrays are all integrated, so if you want to crack them, you either have to recite the corresponding spell to break the array, or you have to find the weak point of the magic array. Generally speaking, the design of these magic arrays is very sophisticated, and unless you have a very deep understanding of the magic array, you can only find the weak point of the array. If you can't find the weakness, you can only rely on brute force to break the array.

Breaking the array by force involves many other risks, because no one knows whether the magician who set up the array will have any backup plan, and it is also unclear what the consequences will be if the array is broken by force. If many magic arrays are broken by force, the most likely result is an explosion.

Therefore, generally speaking, unless there is really no other way out, one would not choose to break the formation by force.

Magic array is a very profound subject, and it is not usually included in the educational system of magic schools. Because the number of magicians who will become magic array masters is too small, and the talent required for this subject is too high. Therefore, the training of magic array masters is usually to directly become apprentices and be directly cultivated by already famous array masters.

As for learning magic circles, this is not determined by magic talent. This is something that belongs to another field completely.

Fortunately, Xu Weiwei's discovery allowed everyone to avoid the violent way of breaking the formation. Through observation, Lin Tianlang found that this magic lock formation was not a whole, but was built up by combining many small micro magic formations inside. This magic lock formation applied to the door was actually a collection of a bunch of micro magic formations.

This makes it much easier to crack it. This kind of collective magic array is like a circuit board in the human world, very precise, and a mistake in one link will cause the entire magic array to fail. So Lin Tianlang only needs to find a way to destroy a micro-magic array inside, and the chain reaction will cause the entire magic lock array to fail.

"I know what to do. Let me do it." Lin Tianlang said, then gently closed his eyes.

He condensed his spiritual power into an invisible rope, probed into the magic lock array, found one of the miniature magic arrays, and established a connection with it. Then, through this link, Lin Tianlang directly injected his magic power into it. For these miniature magic arrays, their functions are like the gears in a watch. The magic power injected by Lin Tianlang is a huge amount of energy for it. Using excess energy to directly break the magic array is one of the common methods of breaking the array.

As expected, with the injection of Lin Tianlang's magic power, the internal energy balance of this micro magic circle was broken. The excess energy pouring in from the outside world made this micro magic circle completely unable to bear it, and it exploded directly. And with the explosion of this micro magic circle, the chain reaction caused more micro magic circles to be affected and fail one after another.

Just like that, the magic lock array was cracked. After all the micro magic arrays were invalidated, the lock array became an empty shell and no longer had any magic power.

"Success." Lin Tianlang said thoughtfully, opened his eyes, and then reached for the door handle. Beside Lin Tianlang, several girls watched this scene, all a little nervous. However, this time, the door handle was not locked, but began to rotate as Lin Tianlang applied pressure. The door of the room was opened, and the secret behind the door of Room 0 was about to be revealed to everyone.

Push open the door of Room 0, and you can see the interior of the room at a glance. As the hotel manager said, Room 0 on the first floor is his office, which only has a desk with a few files on it.

"Wow, it looks like we'll be able to get new information soon." Lin Tianlang said with a smile.

Everyone picked up the documents on the desk and began to check the contents.

"This... book is empty." Qiuyue said as she put down the red-covered document in her hand.

"Another book with empty content?" Long Xinyu said, "Wow, we've already played the same trick with the library puzzle. Are we going to play it again this time?"

"The contents of this file are also empty." Shirley said softly, then put down the yellow-covered file in her hand and stacked it on top of the red-covered file.

"Well... but there is something in this file." Aniya whispered. The brown-haired girl was holding a thin white-covered file.

"But...what are the records in here? It feels...a bit like a bill?" Aniya looked a little confused.

"Really? Let me see." Xu Weiwei said, then took the white file from Aniya and began to read it carefully. Beside the silver-haired girl, Shirley and Qiuyue also came over.

"It feels like... this seems to be the check-in record of this hotel's guests." Qiuyue murmured.

"Huh? No way, is there really anyone who would stay in this hotel? Not only are there a lot of rules, but the whole place is weird." Long Xinyu said with a pout.

"This should only be part of the puzzle. We should look at everything here from the perspective of a puzzle, regardless of whether it makes sense or not." Shirley explained patiently.

"I know, I know, puzzles, puzzles... well, it's better to fight." Long Xinyu said with a pout. The red-haired girl felt very depressed because she had no sense of participation.

"Well... yesterday, there were 5 guests staying... and the day before yesterday, there were 4 guests staying..." Xu Weiwei pondered, her brows furrowed tighter and tighter. She began to flip through the previous check-in records, and then began to mutter to herself.

"Last Monday, there were 9 guests checking in; last Wednesday, there were 10 guests checking in...hiss, it feels so weird." Xu Weiwei said.

"Weiwei, what's wrong?" Shirley asked.

"This is very strange. Don't you think there is something wrong with this hotel check-in record?" Xu Weiwei said, "The hotel manager said that all the rooms from the second floor to the tenth floor can only be visited and cannot be occupied. And we have already checked these rooms. They are very narrow single rooms. Each room can only accommodate one person at most. Since the rooms from the second to the tenth floor cannot be occupied, only the rooms on the first floor can be occupied. Excluding room 0, there are only five rooms, which can only accommodate five guests at most. But why are there more than five people in the check-in record here?"

Xu Weiwei's words immediately aroused the others' thinking. Everyone lowered their heads and began to think hard about the reasons behind this.

"Well... is it possible that a couple or... a couple, live in the same room?" Ania said in a low voice.

"Impossible, even if they are a couple." Qiuyue shook her head: "The bed is too small, there is no room for two people to sleep."

"Well, what if two people live in one room, but one of them sleeps on the floor?" Long Xinyu made a guess. It can be seen that the red-haired girl is serious about making herself useful. The girls talked one after another until Lin Tianlang's words broke the cycle.

"Stop guessing and take a look at this."

Lin Tianlang said this, and then took out a diary from a hidden drawer under the desk.
