Escape From the Library

Because Lu Kai and Luo Jiajia missed the plot clue of Room 8, Yue Xingwen is currently unable to determine whether the death of the bride has nothing to do with the inn itself, or was it just missed?Another round of clues must be collected before the analysis can continue.Thinking of this, Yue Xingwen said: "Everyone, let's make do with sleep outside the woods until dawn."

It seems that I have returned to the public elective course "Orienteering", and I can only camp in the wilderness.

Everyone had to find a tree and sleep with their backs against the trunk.

In the early hours of the morning, Yue Xingwen was suddenly awakened by an argument.He frowned and opened his eyes - two boys not far away were arguing, they were cousins ​​Lu Kai and Gao Yongqiang.

The sky was bright, and from the angle where Yue Xingwen was, Gao Yongqiang's profile could be seen clearly.

Gao Yongqiang's face was livid, and he pointed at his younger brother and cursed in a low voice: "Are you fucking out of your mind?! According to the rules, every class has a chance to retake it. Luo Jiajia is not really dead. You can see her when you go back to the library. , you are tangled up!"

Lu Kai turned his back to Yue Xingwen, his back was thin and thin, and his voice was trembling slightly: "It's not because of Luo Jiajia! I don't want to stay in this library for a minute. At first I could bear the rabbits and monkeys, but later it became A bunch of skeleton monsters, and now even female ghosts have come out! Do you know what else will happen in the future? Maybe there will be all kinds of man-eating monsters!"

Gao Yongqiang remained silent.

Lu Kai choked up and said, "Brother, we only get 10 credits now, and we need 100 credits to graduate. Have you ever thought about how many times we have to go through such a horrible thing? I'm really about to collapse!"

Gao Yongqiang's eyes were red, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I don't even want to come to this library! But what can I do? It's already here! If you give up now, you won't be afraid that what the library says is true. Will it be wiped out?"

Lu Kai shook his head desperately, as if trying to convince himself: "I don't believe that the library can affect the real world, everything here is too fake!" He suddenly had an idea: "Maybe if you die here, you can be resurrected in reality?"

"Do you want to die once? You're crazy!" Gao Yongqiang stretched out his hand to beat him, but Lu Kai dodged and said in a crying voice, "Anyway, I don't want to waste my time being abused here, if you want to continue, just keep it. I want to go back! I want to go back!"

His emotions were obviously broken, and he turned around and rushed into the woods after he finished speaking. He couldn't hold back like a wild horse that had run away. pace.

Yue Xingwen soon heard a scream of "ahhh" from the depths of the woods. The voice was high-pitched and sharp, cutting through the silent sky like a sharp knife, and instantly woke up all the sleeping students. Everyone opened their eyes in horror: "What's wrong?"

Ke Shaobin's glasses went sideways, he hurriedly found them and put them back on, and jumped in front of Yue Xingwen like a nimble rabbit, his whole body tensed: "What's the matter, is the female ghost chasing you?"

Yue Xingwen looked at Gao Yongqiang. The latter's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he didn't know how to explain it.

Seeing that he didn't explain, Yue Xingwen had no choice but to say: "Student Lu Kai gave up the exam and rushed into the woods. Maybe he was given by a female ghost..." Needless to say, everyone understood the source of the scream just now.

Gao Xiaoxin turned pale: "He gave up the exam? Is it because of Jiajia?"

Yue Xingwen: "..."

This girl still had beautiful fantasies about love, and felt that Lu Jiajia's death had stimulated Lu Kai, so Lu Kai went to accompany her girlfriend.But in fact, Lu Kai gave up the exam, not because of his girlfriend's death - but because of his own cowardice.

Among the boys, there are also timid cowards, and Yue Xingwen doesn't know how to evaluate this classmate.

Gao Yongqiang walked over and gently held his girlfriend's hand, his voice was full of exhaustion: "This idiot, when he goes out in the future, I will definitely beat him so that even his own mother can't recognize him! He was spoiled and spoiled by my sister-in-law since he was a child. broken."

Gao Xiaoxin bit her lip and said nothing.

Jiang Pingce, whose sleep was disturbed, was obviously not happy, and said coldly, "The female ghost didn't come to chase him, but he ran to die by himself. This classmate is really creative."

Everyone: "..." It's really a gift from a thousand miles away.

It was already dawn, and after being woken up by Lu Kai's coquettish operation, everyone lost sleepiness.

Seeing Jiang Pingce's stinky face and cold expression, Yue Xingwen hurried over, patted him on the shoulder like a hair, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't be angry. I know you hate being woken up in the middle of your sleep. During the day When you have time, catch up on sleep."

Facing Shang Xingwen's smiling eyes, Jiang Pingce's mood finally improved, and he whispered: "We will not give up."

Yue Xingwen nodded: "Of course, I've had headaches since I was a child, and I know you too."

Jiang Pingce was obsessed with Mathematical Olympiad in high school. In order to graduate early in college, he completed four-year courses in three years.Yue Xingwen looked up information for the debate, and could only sleep for four hours a day for a week-forcing himself to work hard in order to achieve a certain goal was commonplace for them.

Now they still have each other by their side, and there is no reason to give up.Whoever gives up first will be looked down upon by the other party for the rest of his life.They understand each other and can always encourage and motivate each other. No matter how difficult it will be in the future, they will definitely go to the end.

The two looked at each other and smiled, Jiang Pingce's waking up has been completely cured.

Yue Xingwen looked back at everyone, and said: "Student Lu Kai's withdrawal from the exam is his own choice. We can't ask everyone to have firm confidence and perseverance. He has the right to decide his own destiny. However, those who stay, Hope to have a little team spirit, and don't cause trouble for everyone in the next few days."

He looked at the couple Gao Yongqiang and Gao Xiaoxin, and said: "I am familiar with the others, but you two are relatively unfamiliar. You also saw it last night. Due to the negligence of Lu Kai and Luo Jiajia, we missed important clues. Continue to reason. Please try to cooperate with everyone's actions in the future."

Gao Yongqiang nodded immediately: "I know. My younger brother is an only child. He was doted on by his parents since he was a child. He opens his mouth for food and stretches out his hands for clothes. He can't take care of himself in daily life, and he can't even wash his socks... I'm sorry for causing trouble for everyone."

Compared with his brother's pair, Yue Xingwen has a good impression of his brother.After Lu Kai made a mistake yesterday, he scolded his head and face, which made everyone feel embarrassed to scold again, and his reaction was quite quick.

Yue Xingwen looked at Gao Xiaoxin beside him: "And you, are you willing to stay?"

Gao Xiaoxin's eyes turned red, and he choked up and said, "I don't want to die, my punctuation marks haven't reached the full level, and I want to change to other skill books... Although the library is dangerous, but, it's not impossible to pass the level, right? try."

Yue Xingwen said softly: "You are right. There are many skill books that can be exchanged in our Chinese department. The course will become more difficult, but our ability will also become stronger. Try hard, maybe you will pass it?"

Gao Xiaoxin nodded vigorously: "Well, thank you senior!"

The first time he met a junior from the Chinese department in the library, he just encouraged her as a senior in the same department. As for how far the couple could go in the future, it was not in his concern.The most important thing at present is the "Death Code" class. The progress of last night has been delayed, and they have to hurry up to find clues.

When Yue Xingwen took everyone back to the inn, it was already dawn.

Everyone walked into the inn and saw Luo Jiajia lying on the ground with blood all over his face. The visual impact caused by the students who died in the pool of blood made everyone's footsteps freeze suddenly. Gao Xiaoxin turned his head, his body was shaking all the time, Gao Yongqiang said in a low voice: "She'll be resurrected in the library, don't be sad."

Ke Shaobin whispered: "Move her body away? It's not easy for us to discuss around her body."

Jiang Pingce used the coordinate system to transport Luo Jiajia's body to a distant place.

Looking at the inn after dawn, it is much more magnificent than what I saw in the dark last night. The height of the first floor is more than 3 meters, and some exquisite patterns are carved on the cantilever beams of the roof. There was a secret door, locked with an iron lock.Yue Xingwen hesitated for a few seconds between violently destroying the iron lock and finding the key, and chose the latter.

He said: "Let's search separately and see where the key to this room is hidden."

The 8 people quickly divided the work, four went to the upstairs room to search, and the remaining four searched everywhere on the first floor.

After a while, Qin Miao suddenly said, "I found it."

Yue Xingwen turned around and saw that she was holding a bunch of keys in her hand, which she found in a flowerpot in the corner.

The students upstairs also ran down immediately after hearing it.

Qin Miao handed the keys to Yue Xingwen: "I counted eleven of them. Eight of them should be the keys to the guest room on the second floor, and one is for this secret door? The remaining two don't know what to do."

Jiang Pingce suddenly frowned slightly: "Wait."

Everyone looked back at him.

The tall boy walked up to Yue Xingwen quickly, took the bunch of keys, studied it carefully for a while, and then said: "I thought of it, the content of the course exam of "Death Code" is 'digital reasoning', but the examiner didn't directly give We asked us to guess a series of digital passwords, but scattered the digital passwords throughout the examination process."

The others seemed to understand Jiang Pingce's words.

Yue Xingwen's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood: "You mean, from entering the examination room, all the clues related to numbers encountered will become the key to connect the whole case? Is this the 'digital password'? "

Jiang Pingce nodded: "Yes. Have you noticed anything wrong?"

Everyone nodded in unison.This place is eerie and weird, and everyone felt something was wrong since they walked in last night.The inn is empty, and the damp and moldy wooden furniture exudes an unpleasant smell. The strange wedding room, the red wedding dresses of the bride and groom, and even the vines covering the roof and the gorgeous lotus pond outside the house are all weird. ...

But where is the strangeness, and everyone can't tell the reason.

Jiang Pingce said: "First of all, this inn looks like three floors from the outside." Yue Xingwen immediately answered, "But the internal structure is two floors. Are the numbers correct?"

Jiang Pingce nodded, and continued: "There are eight rooms on the second floor." He looked at Yue Xingwen, who followed his words, "And the number of ghost brides is seven?"

The two sang together, and the students finally understood when they heard this.

Liu Zhaoqing slapped his head: "That's right! These numbers remind us that something is wrong with the inn! Only by reasoning with numbers can we discover the inn's secret!"

Jiang Pingce said: "We just found a secret door that we didn't pay attention to last night. In addition to the 8 rooms on the second floor, we only need 9 keys at present, but there are 11 keys on the key chain. It means that there are other keys in this inn. The room was not found by us."

Yue Xingwen continued: "The seven brides don't match the content of our dream at all. The plot clues we got can be coherent. The heroine is the Miss Su family, the hero is the disease-ridden son of the Zhao family, and the supporting roles are The guards, the doctor, the woman in pink, the wife-in-law and the parents of both parties, where did the seven brides come from?"

Qin Miao suddenly said: "It was not uncommon for a man to marry several wives in ancient times. The Zhao family is so rich and powerful. Could it be that they found seven girls to celebrate Mr. Zhao together?"

Yue Xingwen lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said: "In the cognition of the ancients, seven is the sum of 'yin and yang' and 'five elements', and there is also a saying after death that 'the first seven return to yang, and fulfill one's wish'. If, In order to celebrate their dying son, the Zhao family bought seven brides at a high price, but they failed, and Mr. Zhao died, so they killed all seven brides and sent them to marry their son... Is it all true? Can you make sense?"

Everyone pondered Yue Xingwen's words carefully, and found that Yue Xingwen's speculation could indeed explain the existence of the seven brides.

Jiang Pingce said: "But the curse of the two dolls does not match this inference."

Yue Xingwen also knew this, and immediately arranged: "First match the key with the room. Qin Miao, Qin Lu, Gao Xiaoxin, I will leave the task of trying the key to you three girls." He tore off a piece of paper from the dictionary , Said: "Which key corresponds to each room, write a note and paste it on it, so that it is convenient to check the number."

The three of them took the blank paper from Yue Xingwen, went upstairs with the keys, and tried each room.

Jiang Pingce looked at Gao Yongqiang and asked, "I remember, you are from the Architecture Department of Nanyang Jiaotong University, right?"

Gao Yongqiang nodded hastily: "Well, can I help?"

Jiang Pingce said lightly, "Come with me."

The rest of the people followed Jiang Pingce out of the inn. Jiang Pingce pointed to the inn and asked, "Architectural surveying and mapping, will you?"

Gao Yongqiang's eyes lit up: "Yes!"

In fact, Jiang Pingce himself could use the coordinate system to measure the data, but since the couple wanted to stay, Jiang Pingce wanted them to participate.With a sense of participation, the two can gradually trust everyone and not hold back.

Jiang Pingce looked serious: "We first measure from the outside and write down the specific values ​​of the building's periphery; then measure the inside and draw a detailed drawing of the inside of the building. By comparing the inside and outside, we can find out what's wrong with this inn."

Human vision is prone to errors, and is affected by various lights and colors. Visual effects are often used in space design. What people see with their eyes after walking into a room is not necessarily what the room itself looks like.

The first feeling of the inn is very strange, where is the specific blame-Jiang Pingce believes in the data.
