Chapter 90 The Secret of the Treasure 16
Knowing that someone would cause trouble, everyone felt a sense of urgency because even if they were mentally prepared, no one could guarantee that they wouldn't be frightened out of nowhere. Especially in this eerie atmosphere.
Ye Yuanyu said, "Find the clues first, otherwise we may not have enough time."
The group felt it made sense. Xiang Chen spoke, "I looked around. There is no other door except the place where we came in. It’s probably the same as the outside, a hidden door that cannot be seen."
So everyone took a candle from the candlestick and carefully searched the wall. Not the floor escaped their scrutiny. For safety and convenience, the program team settled on candles that weren't real candles. They were electric ones, with a small orange light bulb embedded in the white body. It was similar to a flashlight.
Soon Jiang Yu found something on the wall, "Here."
Everyone gathered around and found that it was a simple decoration like an ancient ship's rudder. It was about the size of a palm and looked quite charming. However, its outer ring was marked with ten numbers from 0 to 9 clockwise, all in beautiful cursive characters. There was a compass-like pointer at the top of the rudder. It seemed that there was a gear underneath that could rotate.
There was a painting next to the rudder decoration. The painting showed a sleepy looking man in black. There was a line of text at the bottom of the painting: 【We must hunt when the prey opens the door, give me two minutes. . 】
"It seems that this is it." Ye Yuanyu analyzed, "This means that once the door is opened, the other party will rush over regardless of the state. We only have two minutes to escape."
Xiang Chen said, "So we only have one chance to open the door. After triggering the decibel meter for the third time, we must leave here immediately."
Jian Cang asked, "How to open this door?"
Jiang Yu, who had been studying for a while, pointed to the top pointer on the rudder, "This is a combination lock. Each time the pointer points to a number, pause for one second and then move to the next number. It’s usually a 4-8 digit password."
She contemplated and suggested, "It's a waste of time for everyone to decode the code alll at the same time. Let's divide the labor like earlier. One person decrypts the code, while the others focus on finding the gold coins. But in order to ensure that the decryptor isn't delayed, everyone else pays one gold coin to that person. "
Zhou Feifei immediately pointed out, "The person responsible for decrypting the code can easily own six gold coins alone?"
Shu Hua looked at her in surprise, "Easy? This job isn't easy, isn't it?"
【That's right, you can’t say it’s easy because Jiang Yu solve it so easily. 】
【It's somewhat disrespectful. 】
Zhou Feifei realized that she had said something wrong. As she was about to explain, Jiang Yu asked her, "Then how much do you think is appropriate?"
Zhou Feifei said, "Half a piece."
Xiang Chen fired another question at her, "How to divide half a gold coin? There is no half a gold coin here. If one of you asks one of you to pay theirs first, how can you guarantee that the other party will not swallow your gold coin and refuse to pay it back? Or at a critical moment and you’re short a gold coin and the other party can win you, the vampire probably won't count half a gold coin."
Zhou Feifei rendered speechless.
Ye Yuanyu made the final decision, "Then one gold coin."
He looked at Zhou Feifei, "If everyone decrypts the code, we can find more than one gold coin in the time we spend solving the puzzle. The price isn't bad."
Jian Cang nodded, "Yes, after all, no matter how many gold coins you have, it's useless if we can’t escape."
Zhou Feifei asked again, "Who will decrypt the code?"
【What does she mean by this? After being around for so long, you should know that this part belongs to Jiang Yu, right? 】
【Can she ensure her password is correct? Better not create a pit for everyone. 】
The group looked at Jiang Yu. Everyone agreed that Jiang Yu would decrypt the code. After all, she had the highest decryption accuracy and she was allies with them. So she was the most suitable.
But since Zhou Feifei asked this, she naturally had her own thoughts. She looked at Jiang Yu, "I don’t have the intention of doubting you. It's just that no matter how smart people are, there are times of mistakes. It's safer with two people confirming."
Jiang Yu nodded, "You can solve it if you want. Whoever solves the problem in the end will get the gold coins."
After she finished speaking, she raised her hand, "I'll sign up."
As expected, Zhou Feifei spoke, "I'll give it a try too. If both are correct, can we split the gold coins equally?"
Jiang Yu replied, "Okay."
Shu Hua pointed out, "Then there are only five gold coins, how can we divide them equally?"
Jiang Yu didn't bother to argue with her and directly stated, "Whoever breaks the code lock first will get three."
Zhou Feifei had no objection. The others didn’t say anything. Anyway, as long as there was Jiang Yu, they would feel at ease. Afterward, they spread out to look for gold coins.
Qin Shiyu saw Shu Hua holding Jiang Yu's arm and walking together like conjoined twins. He asked Jiang Yu, "How many gold coins do you have now?"
Jiang Yu:……
It was like whichever pot lid that should not be opened was opened. She has only found one so far. She was probably the one with the least gold coins in her hand. That was why she proposed to earn gold coins by decrypting the code.
Shu Hua knew that Jiang Yu was very unlucky in terms of luck. She patted her chest, "Bigshot, I’m with you. I have found four of them. They were all found near the dining table."
Qin Shiyu grinned, "But you can't leave the dining table, right? The clues Jiang Yu is looking for may be hidden in the corner. If you drag her down when you are frightened, she may not be able to solve the puzzle and lose the gold coins. Nor can she find gold coins."
Reaching here, he looked up at Ye Yuanyu, who was looking for gold coins in the opposite corner and it seemed like something dawned on him. "No, stay with Jiang Yu. Anyway, Jiang Yu should be able to earn six gold coins. That’s enough."
After saying this, he went to look for gold coins.
Shu Hua followed his line of sight and looked to the other side. Although the light was dim, she could see that Ye Yuanyu seemed to be putting something into his bag.
She immediately caught on, "That’s right."
She grabbed Jiang Yu and discussed with her in a low voice, "If I’m with you, I will be snatching your gold coins. But by being with others, I can smatch the other party's gold coins as well as preventing him from finding more. It’s killing two birds with one stone!”
When she analyzed this, she first looked at Qin Shiyu. She felt that it was most appropriate to trick Qin Shiyu. Soon she saw her scary cousin slowly picking up a scary skeleton from the table against the wall. Carefree, he played with its head and had even turned it upside down and poured it out, as if it was a piggy bank.
Shu Hua:......
"I'm going to find Ye Yuanyu."
Jiang Yu looked at Shu Hua's departing figure and secretly breathed out. Although she felt sorry for Ye Yuanyu. There wasn't anything she could do about it. With Shu Hua around, the atmosphere of terror would be doubled. And she was afraid.
Sure enough, she soon heard Ye Yuanyu's low exclamation and the movement of avoiding Shu Hua. Jiang Yu silently apologized to Ye Yuanyu and held up a candle to shine on the wall. She had noticed many oil paintings hanging on the wall before. The password should be on these.
Zhou Feifei, who had been paying attention to her, saw her movements. Her mind spun and spoke into the mic, "I feel like the vampire would leave hints on the painting. Then the clues to the password should be on it."
As she said this, she followed Jiang Yu and started to observe the few paintings away from her.
She probably knew that what she did before was unlikeable. She needed a chance to show off, so she explained to mic while examining, "What if I can solve it and can get extra gold coins. If you can't solve it, there’s Jiang Yu. It won’t delay everyone and I have the chance to weaken the opponent. Better take a gamble.”
This was indeed a strategy. The members of "All Rounder" originally ‘you cheat me and I trick you’. Although the audience had a feeling that her behavior was irksome, no one said anything about her. If they did, her fans would say that they were ostracizing her.
Jiang Yu noticed her movements, and didn't take it to heart at all. Even if the puzzle itself wasn't difficult, the terrifying atmosphere was increasing the difficulty. Zhou Feifei was an ordinary girl. Although she wasn't as easily frightened as Shu Hua, she wasn’t much better/ Besides, she wasn’t that attentive...
Once again, she sensed the other party's eyes on her. Jiang Yu stayed in front of a picture of a coffin for a long time.
There were some sentences or dates on these oil paintings. The painting in front of her had many numbers on it.
It wasn't until Zhou Feifei was about to catch up that Jiang Yu seemed to regain her senses and swiftly took a few steps forward as if she was afraid that the other party would find something.
Zhou Feifei was indeed fooled and pondered hard about the painting.
Jiang Yu lowered her head and began to look through the drawer for gold coins.
The audience from God's perspective could clearly see the small action between the two people and immediately started a new round of speculation:
【Say, do you think she got the password or was she tricking Zhou Feifei? 】
【It feels a bit like tricking, but she may have actually solved it. After all, to my Elder Sister Yu, decryption is like drinking water. No one can tell. 】
【If it wasn't solved, she will probably continue to observe the paintings for a while. After all, there are several paintings. She has to check them all, right? 】
【Then you don’t understand. Only a study scum will guess after studying all the answers. A top student would basically set on it after seeing it. Don’t necessarily need to read the rest. 】
Jiang Yu didn't raise her head to look at the paintings. There were many ancient bookshelves and chests of drawers placed next to the wall in this room, meaning there were many places to hide gold coins. However, it was a bit scary.
From time to time, she could hear muffled shouts coming from various corners. Most from Jian Cang and Shu Hua. Occasionally, there were Xiang Chen’s and Ye Yuanyu’s. This went to show how scary the hidden things were.
Jiang Yu opened the drawer and looked at the skull inside. It seemed to be the one Qin Shiyu had played with. With the light, she was okay with it. So she fiddled with it and saw a golden thing. …
She blinked, picked up the gold coin and put it into her small bag. She looked up at Qin Shiyu who was walking not far in front of her. She saw him reaching out and taking down a hairy spider as big as a human head from the shelf and flipped through it. He seemed to be bored, threw it behind his back, and then touched the next one.
Jiang Yu:……
She seemed to know why the corner she was walking around wasn't so scary anymore. It looked like they had been thrown away by this guy.
Of course, there were some things that slipped through the net. Jiang Yu opened the drawer again and saw a grinning horror doll and assumed Qin Shiyu didn't find it challenging and ignored it. However, when she mindlessly pulled it, she saw another gold coin. .
She looked at Qin Shiyu again. No matter how stupid she was, she knew that it was Qin Shiyu who left it for her. He wasn't so careless to leave behind so much.
As if aware of her gaze, he turned back and smiled at her. At the same time, he shook the gold in his pocket, which seemed to be much more than others.
That’s right. Compared to others who were cautious due to fear, this person seemed to have entered a deserted place and rummaged very quickly.
It seemed that he was reminding her of the alliance between the two of them. Jiang Yu sighed and stopped being demure. She collected the gold coin. After all, she couldn't let Zhou Feifei, who was behind her, benefit.
When Jiang Yu successfully got the third gold coin, they triggered the decibel meter for the second time. This time it was Xiang Chen. Although he was a little stronger than Shu Hua and Jian Cang, there would be conditioned reflexes when facing a sudden surprise attack no matter how mentally prepared he was.
He didn't scream. He had moved too far back and hit a cabinet nearby. Something fell to the ground with a loud noise.
"Felt like I touched a real mouse!" Even Xiang Chen was frightened. Compared to nihilistic ghosts, things like rats, cockroaches and the like were more realistic fears.
Jian Cang mentally collapsed, "What? There are real mice?"
Ye Yuanyu noticed that his voice was a little loud and hurriedly reminded, "There is only one last chance left. If the decibel meter is triggered again, we must leave immediately."
He asked in the direction of Jiang Yu, "Has the password been unlocked?"
Before Jiang Yu could speak, Zhou Feifei said excitedly, "It's unlocked."
Everyone was a little surprised. They turned to Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu shook the candle up and down and nodded to indicate that she had found it. Everyone felt relieved.
Everyone speeded up to look for gold coins in unison, Shu Hua was so frightened when she heard that there were live mice and cockroaches that she kept standing on tiptoes, as if she was about to jump up in the next second.
Ye Yuanyu reminded her, "There is one more chance. Do you have enough gold coins? If not, hold it in."
Shu Hua raised her head to look at him. Ye Yuanyu paused.
The audience couldn’t stop laughing:
【Hahahaha, no matter how many times, Ye Yuanyu can't get accustomed to it. 】
【I can’t either. What kind of look is this? 】
【I will never forget the first time I saw her biting a chicken bone and lighting half of her face with a candle. She almost sent me, who is in front of the screen, away. Ye Yuanyu is a real man. 】
It turned out that Shu Hua knew that she was easily frightened and in order to prevent herself from screaming, she bit a chicken bone in her mouth. This way at least she wouldn't scream immediately when she was scared. However, she happened to hold up a very large candle with a flashlight effect. Ye Yuanyu was startled by the eyeballs falling out of a rotten corpse model. When he turned around and saw Shu Hua's appearance, he took two steps back and leaned against the cabinet in rare fright.
【I can’t anymore. When thinking of the scene that scared Ye Yuanyu now, I can’t hold it... 】
【More importantly, Shu Hua got scared by him, hahahaha. 】
【Really, Shu Hua is Ye Yuanyu's nemesis. Ye Yuanyu's aloofness cannot be used in front of Shu Hua at all. 】
【But she seems to be afraid of mice and actually look a little pitiful. 】
Shu Hua was gravely scared at the moment. She was a little embarrassed as she knew she had scared Ye Yuanyu just now. That was why she didn't press forward. Ye Yuanyu saw her red eyes and felt inexplicably soft-hearted.
"Come here." Ye Yuanyu said, "But I'm warning you, don't touch me!"
Shu Hua quickly approached him, nodded with a smile, bit the chicken bone, and mumbled, "I promise."
However, the next second, the whole room suddenly became dark! All the candles in their hands were extinguished!
One couldn’t see their own fingers. Ah, the familiar strength and familiar screams. Ye Yuanyu was helplessly pushed against the wall by someone who just had promised...
…He shouldn’t be soft-hearted.
Jiang Yu had touched a severed hand when her vision suddenly went dark. Although she knew that this would happen sooner or later, she was a little scared after there was no light at all. Her heart beat unconsciously faster. She had a feeling that there was something floating above her head. Or at her feet...
She subconsciously reached out to randomly grab in the air, trying to cling to something to feel safe.
Suddenly her wrist was placed in a warm palm. She was stunned for a moment. The owner of the hand seemed a little surprised. Jiang Yu wanted to take her hand out at once. She remembered that Qin Shiyu didn't like physical contact. The result was feeling her wrist being grasped and she took two steps forward along with the force. She felt that she was placed in a corner. Behind her back was a sense of security. A tall figure was blocking in front of her...
