Classical Revival Infinity Game

"Tim, don't be like this." Another muscular man with wheat-colored skin patted him on the back.

After he finished speaking, he smiled and stretched out his hand to them: "My name is Peter. In fact, we saw your performance last time and admired it very much. Tim actually likes you very much and always praises you behind your back. He is a person with a bit of a personality. strangeness."

The tall Tim pursed his lips and turned his face to the side.

The other man had a kind face: "My name is Harry. The three of us have loved taking risks together and playing extreme sports since we were children."

"My surname is Yege, and this is my fiancée, Miss Linton."

Linton nodded slightly as a greeting.

"We know." Peter laughed, "The treasure is not important. It is worth getting to know you today."

"Nice to meet you." Ye Ge smiled and nodded.

"How long have you been here?" Linton suddenly asked.

"It didn't take long before we took a general look at the house," Harry said. "There was a door in the front that couldn't be entered, and a window on the side that couldn't be entered."

Yege and Linton walked to the window and saw thick branches blocking the entire window glass.

"I think it's a knot tree," Tim said.

"How did you figure this out?" Linton asked curiously.

"Have you not noticed this? There will be a concentric ring pattern at the root joints of the knot tree, which is very regular." Tim said.

"Tim just tripped over the knot tree's heel and turned around to curse at it, so he looked at it very seriously." Peter teased.

Tim blushed at that.

"So the whole house is full of knot-tree roots?" Miss Linton mused.

"There is a small gap here, look!" Harry pointed to the gap between two thick branches, "You can see the whole house from here."

Yege and Linton took a closer look and found that the roots inside were tangled and difficult to pass through.

But there are no branches close to the central area.

There was a bright candle on the floor there, emitting a faint halo.

"This door is probably blocked by tree roots. We have to find a way to enter." Harry shrugged.

"Can't I use your electric shock bracelet for this?"

"Unfortunately, we have tested that the electric shock bracelet will only be activated when animals and plants attack." Tim shrugged, "Now they will not attack us, they will just block the door."

"Honestly, how about burning it? We watched your performance that day, and it felt like the knot tree burned easily." Peter spread his hands.

"No." Yege shook his head slowly, "This is a forest of knotted trees. If it burns, the entire forest and the people inside will suffer."

"Huh? Don't you have the magic to stop the flames at any time?" Tim asked strangely.

This…this Yege is not that Yege…

Ye Ge was in trouble and couldn't tell.

He could only smile faintly: "The magic lighter is also useful when it is empty."

"Empty? How dare you not wear the bracelet? No, what is that on your hand?"

The three people looked a little speechless when they saw the extremely rough bracelets on their hands.

"My dear, I made this. I don't want the circus anymore." Ye Ge winked at Linton.

"That's right!" Linton immediately raised his head, "I made it for my dear, how do you like it?"

The expressions of the three people ranged from speechless to weird.

Tim looked away.

Harry coughed and stifled a laugh.

Peter raised his eyebrows and smiled brightly.

"Ahem, ahem, back to the original topic, how do we get in?" Harry suppressed his laughter and asked seriously.

"Maybe it has something to do with the candle in the middle." Yege said looking at the center of the room.

"Indeed." Harry squinted his eyes and looked inside, "There isn't a branch around. Maybe it's because of the candles."

"What does a candle have? Light? Heat? Smell?" Linton asked.

"We can do an experiment." Yege looked around, "Rather than going in and being besieged, it's better to do some research first."

"I can't tell, haha! I thought you were also a gentleman who loves adventure." Peter said.

Yege disagreed: "I never make unnecessary sacrifices."

Unlike Ye Man, who carefully searches for clues and layouts, Lin Xiaomei's characteristics are meticulous notes and careful preparation.

He found a knot tree and dug up the soil.

He dug out thick, hard roots.

But once the roots are exposed to the sun, they will immediately retract into the soil like a snail retracting into its shell.

"That's not right, but I tripped over the roots of a knot tree before!" Tim said doubtfully.

"That root, do you remember whether it is under the shadow or in the sun?" Ye Ge asked leisurely.

"I remember... in the shadows," Tim mused.

"That's it." Linton nodded, "Anyway, let's get rid of the smell first. There is still light and heat left, so we can just use a torch to go in."

Yeager shook his head: "I want to understand it completely. Let's do a little experiment."

He dug the soil very skillfully. The upper layer of soil blocked the light, and the lower layer of soil dug a small, dark cave, which could just reach the root system.

Then he took out a flashlight from his bag and shined a bright light into it.

The roots immediately shrank in.

Then he removed the light, and the roots slowly crawled out again.

"So, are you afraid of strong light?" Linton asked, staring at the changes in the root system.

Yege didn't answer.

He borrowed matches from three men, lit some short branches, and put out the fire.

Smoke drifted from the branches, and the temperature was not low, but there was no fire.

Yeager throws hot branches into the roots

The root system did not dodge immediately. It was not until it touched the root system that it retreated as if it was burned.

"It's afraid of light and heat. But it's much more sensitive to light, and it only feels hot after contact with heat." Yege concluded.

"Then how do we open the door?" Harry asked, "It's so dark inside..."

Ye Ge stretched out his hand to Linton: "Dear, I can lend you your makeup mirror."

"Oh my God, do you know how precious it is? Don't drop it!"

Ye Ge: “…”

Why do you, a boy, have so many dramas...

He took the mirror and reflected a beam of bright sunlight through the gap in the window.

The branches in the gap were stimulated by the sunlight and slowly retreated.

The sunlight is refracted, passing through the window and falling on the door inside the house.

The roots on the door also slowly receded.

Tim kicked the door open.

"You could obviously just use a flashlight? Why use someone else's makeup mirror?" Linton said dissatisfied.

"Be good, I want to save electricity." Ye Ge comforted, staring at the candle in the middle, "After all, look at what's under the candle."

"It's like a cover." Tim, who had already walked in, said, his brows furrowed, "Is this a basement?"
