Chapter 272 Tu You
“Baizhi.”
“Hmm?”
“Have you thought about a question?” Ning Zhe buttoned up Bai Zhi and put the The furry bear's head pressed on her head and said Said: "As Kaitan players, when we solve the mystery of Kaitan and advance the game to 'clearance', what will happen next?"
Bai Zhi opened her eyes wide and shook her head: "I never thought about it. .”
To outsiders, Bai Zhi has a very aloof personality. She is amiable and unwilling to say a word to everyone, like a begonia flower without fragrance. But those who know her well will know that Bai Zhi’s superficial coldness is actually beauty caused by distance. This girl’s head is often fragmented due to intermittent amnesia since she was a child. She is a bit naive, very timid, and looks easy to bully. .
Baizhi is 19 years old this year. From her first nightmare when she was 14 years old to now, in the past 5 years, she has never had such a thing as 'subjective initiative'. Every time, she is huddled in the corner alone. Hiding oneself, quietly waiting for the dream to end on its own, the main idea is that if you do nothing, you will not do anything wrong.
She had never thought about actively solving puzzles as a player, and she had never had the experience of exploring around in a dream like she did today. To be honest, it was a bit strange.
"Since you haven't tried it before, why not give it a try?" Ning Zhe put on the bearskin coat for her, turned around and walked to the bed covered with velvet blankets, opened the drawers of the bedside table layer by layer, and finally On the bottom floor, I found hand-drawn manuscript papers tied together with rope, which turned out to be the first design of Vanessa Castle.
"Leave." Ning Zhe hung the corpse oil lamp on his waist, put the map on the bed, knelt on one knee, held a sword in one hand, and lifted up the felt carpet beside the bed with the other hand.
The carpet blocks dust, and the floor under the felt is obviously cleaner than other areas in the bedroom. However, the texture of each wooden board is very complete, without breaks, and there is no trace of anything strange.
Ning Zhe thrust the sword into the gap between the wooden boards and pried it hard. The thick fir board immediately flipped upwards, and the originally integrated wood grains were neatly broken. When the lid was opened, a square The entrance to the secret passage appeared in front of them.
"This is the secret escape route built by Grand Duke Vanessa for herself. It leads directly to the stables on the west side of the bell tower, so that she can directly ride on her horse and run away when something happens." Ning Zhe said simply.
Bai Zhi picked up the castle design drawing on the bed and looked at it, a little strange: "But this secret passage is not marked on the structural drawing...how did you find it here?"
"Of course the old version of the design drawn by Grand Duke Vanessa herself did not have this secret passage, and even the craftsmen who built this secret passage were dismissed by her. Kill her, after all, absolute confidentiality means absolute safety," Ning Zhe said nonchalantly: "But she was from hundreds of years ago after all. This castle has also undergone major repairs in the later period, and the Europa government's engineering team is repairing the castle. The secret passage was rediscovered and added to their engineering drawings. ”
The old version of the design drawings did not mark this secret passage, it can only be seen in the new version of the drawings.
"In other words, if it were someone else who was involved in Vanessa Castle, even if he tried his best to finally enter the castle lord's bedroom and find the first version of the castle's design, it would be difficult to find this The secret passage hidden under the floor..."
Bai Zhi will He folded the manuscript paper neatly and said softly: "Unless they have seen the new version of the drawings before coming in, or have extremely keen reconnaissance power, they can forcibly find the entrance to the secret passage without the prompting of the drawings."
"The former is almost impossible." Ning Zhe shook his head.
The third major renovation of Vanessa Castle is a government project. The construction progress and specific project plans are not disclosed to the public. Although it is not a top secret, except for internal personnel of the construction company, ordinary people have no knowledge of it. channels to obtain this information.
If it weren't for Marquis Van Dyke's background and connections, even Ning Zhe would have had a hard time obtaining detailed information about Vanessa Castle.
Ning Zhe hung the sword on his waist, lit the corpse oil lamp, and walked down the dark entrance. Below the secret passage is a steep step that goes straight down. It is very narrow and can only allow one person to pass through smoothly. Bai Zhi took the map and closed the lid, then followed Ning Zhe and approached the deep and narrow secret passage.
There is no light source in the small space, and the air is filled with the smell of dust accumulated over time. In the dark environment, Bai Zhi always feels that something is following her. When she raises her head, I saw Ning Zhe's back, which was not tall.
"Ning Zhe..."
"Huh?"
"Where are we now?" Bai Zhi asked in a low voice: "We came up from the second floor before. The banquet hall and guest rooms in the bell tower are so spacious, there is no room to hide. What about such a long secret passage? ”
Ning Zhe handed a small flashlight to Bai Zhi: "Look at the design of the third floor of the bell tower. Did you find anything?"
Baizhi turned on the flashlight and followed Ning Zhe seriously. He flipped through the manuscript paper in his hand and replied: " The walls of the bell tower range from thin to thick, with the thickest load-bearing wall being 3 meters thick. It presents an 'earth' shaped structure, which forms the main frame of the entire bell tower. All rooms on the third floor lean on this ' The word "Tu" is distributed in the frame. ”
< br>"Yes." Ning Zhe walked in front, without looking back, and continued: "The thick ones are load-bearing walls, and the thin ones are separation walls. Now look at the drawings of the first and second floors, and compare them with those of the third floor. , did you find anything? ”
Bai Zhi followed the instructions and soon discovered the trick: "The load-bearing structure on the first floor is in the shape of 'you', which has more than one extra load-bearing wall than the 'tu' shape on the third floor!"
"Yes." Ning Zhe nodded slightly, and then said: "The city lord's bedroom is located in the upper right corner of the 'earth' shape. According to the standard of up, north, and down south, after coming down from the bedroom, we Just keep walking under the word 'Tu'. According to this coordinate system, where are we now at the word 'You'?"
Bai Zhi looked down and suddenly realized: "We are there. Inside the extra load-bearing wall..."
6◇9◇书◇Bar
Calculating the height, the two of them should be on the second floor now.
The doubts in her heart were solved. Bai Zhi felt like she was seeing the moonlight through the clouds. She turned off the flashlight and put the drawing in her arms. She wrapped her bearskin coat tightly and touched the wall next to her.
The stone tiles on the wall were slightly hot. The banquet hall on the second floor should have been set on fire by Ning Zhe. I don’t know what it looks like now.
Thinking that there was a fire scene with demons dancing around just outside the wall, Bai Zhi felt that the narrow and dark corridor in front of her was so quiet. Ning Zhe walked in front with a lamp, his steps were even and clear, as if nothing could stop him. If he steps down, he will only move forward, and he will move forward by any means necessary.
Suddenly, Bai Zhi stumbled suddenly and almost fell on Ning Zhe's back.
“What’s wrong?” Ning Zhe quickly turned around.
Bai Zhi grabbed Ning Zhe's hand, her face pale: "Yes, someone is pulling me from behind..."
