Chapter 390 Solving as a Team (1/2)
Their search was proving to be the correct choice of action The group found lots of hidden es and possible clues that could potentially help the outside nor look out of the s to try and avoid being influenced by those whispers
As the leader, shi+ Zuo collaborated with everyone and had suggested to bring all the evidence back to the 'torture' rooainst a tieon instances where their phone battery power did not deplete and could be used infinitely to check on theout of battery With each percentage decrease, itso stressed out
Hence, he had de to turn off all possible apps to reduce the a They did not know if it would help and they could only pray for the best That was until Luo Bo found a dusty old handphone battery lying in one of the abandoned office desks
shi+ Zuo then re's phone was so old that they would actually ith replacement batteries, unlike the newer ones the rest of them had which did not have a replacement cover to re the battery since it would ain unless it was absolutely necessary With the way this dungeon instance was clearly not pulling its punches, he'd rather find out when the battery died out (or hoped not to find anything at all)
Back in the torture room, they laid out all the clues they had found Luo Bo had brought in a feeird looking paed them in the same pattern she had found the went back to the roo quote the first ti the random scraps of pen and paper around the place
Meanwhile, Jia Le had searched the entire building and found out that there was a door that was sealed shut with a weird combination lock She tried to utilise her cultivation, but the door would not even budge a single inch In fact, it felt like the door itself was defending itself froh, Jin used the exact same kind of door that was previously used to block away potential intruders froeon instance But instead of Grade 19, he used a Grade 15 door since he yet to encounter anyone of that level around the area (It was highly unlikely that the Tiger Lord would visit him) Even if there was a Grade 15 cultivator that coincidentally entered Jin's store, the System would automatically swap the door for the Grade 19 one (well, that's not to say if a Grade 19 or 20 cultivator couessed he would probably allow hih level)
Talking about the basement door, the store's basement was cordoned off from the public since the shop instance handled all the entrances to everything fro instances The library on the second and third floor was surprisingly popular since so corner while others used it to grab a bit of snooze tiuys even used that place as a place to pass the ti district)
Jin did not care about those two parts of the store for now as his shop instance was sufficient to cater to alarden park previously used by Lynn and the other cultivators while waiting for their turns beca place for some people (Mostly the elderlies before they enter the shop for their dungeon instances early in the )
On a separate note, Jia Le did find an interesting frageerily dark She was a little afraid to hold on to it and decided to take a trashcan which she nonchalantly eroup saw it, they too got wary and coht happen to her if she held on to the fragment without any care
”So, remember, think simple Most escape rooms are ht backfire on us But Bin Yong, go ahead and overanalyse stuff” Luo Bo e rolled his eyes in annoyance before they gathered together to look through the clues
”I tried to decipher the cypher Itto bet it is a prime number to alphabets decryption kind of code” shi+ Zuo told the this kind of puzzles and probably the best analyticaloveranalysed things toothe crack puzzles)
”Why would you say that? I do not see any nu with cursive alphabets Are you sure you are not overanalysing it?” Bin Yong asked with a little sarcash
”Well you are not wrong, ht as welluntil I saw this” shi+ Zuo took out a piece of folded paper and as he unfolded it, there were scribbles of nuh it a bit confused at first before he understood that it seemed to correspond the odd patterns to the nue that has seely been purposely removed from the tattered book shi+ Zuo added it was not that hard to find, but if he had not seen a few of those bloodied patterns on that tattered handbook, he would have thought that it was merely just scribbles too
”Hmm, but the quote that we found, it still does not make any sense nor fulfil any of that cypher code I copied every single word and even the way it ritten and where it ritten tosaid ”The only clue I canletters, but I can't hed
”What are the letters that aresaid it was Y, H and A
”Coincidentally, those were the words there see in these three pamphlets as well” Luo Bo had noticed a possible correlation as she showed the rest It was a picture of a lottery draw to the holiday vacation to the city of Las Vegas However, the word Y was deliberatelyfrom the word 'city' froas in the second ”Win a Ooliday trip” Luo Bo purposely e H in the word Holiday in the third
”Perhaps, write those letters in that particular cursive writing on the paave it a try To their surprise, it did work as the three pieces of advertise caused lines and dots to appear on the paper throughout the picture, turning it bloody red which low faded away
”Now, this is so to look forward to” shi+ Zuo tried to use the cypher code to decrypt the lines and what he got was 4-7-9 which correspond to D, G and I according to the alphabetical list
