Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 264 Puzzle Solving
"Perhaps, talent is the key clue..." Ke Lan murmured.

"Humans? Key clues?" The hound couldn't help muttering, "How could human beings become key clues in the secret room built by the Alpha civilization? They don't even know what a human being is, so how could they put the clues to solve the puzzle?" In humans?"

"But the spiritual attack in the ruins is effective for humans, isn't it?" Ke Lan said, "I have an idea, I think I can try..."

Hearing what Ke Lan said, the Hound immediately asked, "What do you think?"

……

When just exploring these stone rooms, Ke Lan had already marked the nine rooms with serial numbers with a highlighter: the left half of the prefix "良", that is, the three rooms on the west edge are "No. [-]", "No. [-]" and "No. [-]", the three rooms connecting the axis in the middle correspond to "[-], [-], [-]", and the ones on the east edge are "[-], [-], [-]".

And Ke Lan's idea was to move Cao Feng, Ivan, and Asano Akira into three stone rooms that were not connected to the axis, put them on the stone platform, and see if there would be any changes.

They directly selected the "[-]" stone room near the side, and lifted the three of them to the stone platform in it.

"Didn't this happen?" The hound saw Akira Asano lying on the stone platform in the third stone room, and said with some disappointment, "It seems that all the effort was wasted..."

"No... I think it's because we're missing a key factor..." Ke Lan shook his head.

"The key factor? What factor?"

"They have all been injected with Mengzao preparation and neutralizer, and they are now in a dreamless sleep, no different from other people..." Ke Lan said.

"You mean...you have to be someone who is having a nightmare?"

"You won't forget the 'control variable method' you learned in the elementary compulsory education stage... 'Nightmare' is obviously a crucial experimental variable..."

"I know...but, what do you have to do to make them return to their original state? Another mental attack?"

"When I was in contact with those crazy hunters at Nottingham General Hospital, I found that the alpha language would strongly stimulate them. Maybe you can try this method." There are a total of eight of the three Mengzao preparations that the director of the hospital brought over, which are enough to deal with the aftermath.

Ke Lan walked to Asano Akira's side, leaned close to the other's ear, and read a few prayers on the stone tablet in an alpha civilized way—suddenly, Asano Akira's face changed in his sleep, and his fingers subconsciously closed into a grip. The shape of the knife's hand trembled constantly.

Fortunately, in order to prevent Asano Akira from violently injuring others in an unconscious state, Ke Lan had already taken away his war blade in advance, and bound his hands and feet with a safety belt.

Among the three, Akira Asano is the strongest. The stronger the strength, the more dangerous it is to lose your mind... To be honest, this kind of attempt is extremely risky, but Ke Lan can only do this.

Other than that, there is no better choice.

"Old dog, look after Akira Asano, and call me if there is any situation." After Ke Lan finished speaking, he walked to the other two stone rooms, making Ivan and Cao Feng fall into a nightmare again in the same way.

Just when the last step was completed, the floor under his feet suddenly trembled!Accompanied by the sound of friction between rocks, these stone chambers began to move. Ke Lan ignored the horror in his heart, and quickly activated the ability to stop time. Taking advantage of this short gap, these stone chambers were forcibly moved The trajectory of the movement was recorded.

It didn't take long for the nine stone chambers to return to calm, the dust settled, and everything seemed to have never happened——the joints between the stone chambers, and between the stone chambers and the rock formations were tightly connected, and it didn't look like they had been moved at all. The layout of the nine stone chambers is still the shape of the Chinese character "艹"... The only thing that has changed is the stone chamber where Akira Asano and the others are located, which has been transformed to the connecting axis in the middle!
The original "One Two Three" stone room just switched places with "Four Five Six"!

"It's... so fucking wrong!" The hound's voice trembled slightly, "Ke Lan, did you see it clearly just now? I just felt like the world was spinning for a while, and when I realized it, it was over... Damn, I didn't even see how these stone chambers moved!"

"I haven't seen it either... The design of the mechanism is very ingenious. When these stone chambers move, the surrounding rock formations will also move. They will block the gaps that appear during the movement in time, so that the stone chambers People can't see what's outside." Ke Lan said, "However, I forcibly recorded the trajectory of the stone chamber."

The trajectory of the stone chamber movement is not purely flat, and it requires a strong sense of space and perspective ability to remember it (PS’s perspective here does not refer to the special ability that the line of sight can penetrate obstacles, but a theoretical term in the field of painting) Fortunately, Ke Lan has the ability to stop time. Even if he can't see the exact movement trajectory at first glance, he can keep pressing the "pause button" to conduct more detailed observation and analysis, so as to obtain a dynamic three-dimensional image.

"The trajectory of the stone chamber just formed several characters in the Alpha language..." Ke Lan recalled this dynamic [-]D image. He simplified and folded those trajectories, and then re-drawn them with lines on a two-dimensional plane, "from Looking at it from different angles, the characters formed are different, but there is evidence to follow between these characters, and I can connect these strings according to this rule..."

"Then what does the connection of these strings mean?" the hound stared and asked anxiously.

"...There is only half a sentence, and the meaning is unclear. You can only understand the meaning of these characters after you find the second half and continue it." Ke Lan said here, suddenly raised his head, and looked to the other side of the stone room.

"Seven-eight-nine! Since the strange group of one-two-three made half a sentence, then let's carry Asano Akira and the others to the stone platform at No. seven-eight-nine, won't we be able to get the second half of the sentence?"

Just do what they said, Ke Lan and the hound moved the three of them to another three stone chambers. This time, the stone chamber moved again, but its moving trajectory became very strange—"These lines... cannot be combined Any complete character... These outages and turning points are wrong..." Ke Lan looked at the image he drew on his notebook, and couldn't help but fell into confusion...

How did that happen?

[PS In order to let everyone have a more intuitive concept of the arrangement of the stone chambers, I TM directly sketched in the text:

wall one wall seven walls

two four five six eight

wall three wall nine wall

Among them, "three" is the stone room where Ke Lan woke up, "one" is the hound, and "four" is the room where Cao Feng was at the beginning, and it is also the place where Ke Lan and the hound met. 】
