Card Room (Rebirth)

The two people opened their eyes and found that it was still dark until a flashlight automatically appeared in their hands.

However, the two people weren’t together. They were separated by the secret room.

Xiao Lou turned on the flashlight and looked around. He was in a narrow, straight passage with a length of approximately 50 metres. The floor was covered with bluestone and the walls on both sides were the original red brick.

The temperature here was very low and the air was damp and cold. It was just like coming to a dark basement.

Should he look for the mechanisms first or Group Leader Yu?

Xiao Lou decided to choose the latter.

After all, he wasn’t sure if there were any traps in the secret room and it was better for two people to act together.

Xiao Lou walked to the end of the passage with a flashlight. He had reached around half the distance when he found a forked road. Xiao Lou stood at the fork in the road. The front had a wall at the end and there was obviously no way. He had to go down the forked road.

He had gone halfway when another fork in the road was found.

Just then he found a ray of light that was also from a flashlight.

Xiao Lou’s heart was happy and he called out, “Group Leader Yu.”

Yu Hanjiang’s voice was soon heard. “Yes, I’m here.”

The two people met at the fork in the road and Yu Hanjiang frowned. “I looked in the passage behind me and didn’t find any mechanisms. It seems to be a small maze?”

Xiao Lou looked at the straight passage in front and behind him thoughtfully.

There was no doubt that this was a maze but the area wasn’t large. The longest passage was around 50 metres. They would soon reach the end and there weren’t many forks.

Xiao Lou quickly took a card out of his pack: the Four-way Arrow.

This was a reward he previously received in the 2 of Diamonds room and it was useful when dealing with maze-like maps.

He told Yu Hanjiang, “Group Leader Yu, do you also have the Four-way Arrow card? We should split up, taking this direction in front of me as north. North, south, left west, right east. Use the Four-way Arrow to mark the forks as soon as possible. I want to know the plan of the maze.”

Yu Hanjiang nodded. “Okay.”

This method was very smart. In a maze, it was easy to walk and lose one’s bearings. By selecting a positive north and marking it with an ‘upward’ arrow, a left arrow representing west, a right arrow east and a down arrow south, all the forks were marked with a direction and even a road fool couldn’t go wrong.

The two men split up and quickly placed arrows on the walls of the fork.

They gathered again. Xiao Lou had probably analyzed the location of the arrows and quickly concluded. “This maze isn’t difficult. The floor plan is the ‘正’ character.”

Yu Hanjiang thought about it carefully. It was true!

Xiao Lou could so quickly form a floor plan of the three-dimensional maze in his maze, causing Yu Hanjiang to feel admiration. He glanced at Xiao Lou, “What’s next? How can I help?”

“Group Leader Yu, you are responsible for finding the mechanisms in the west and south. I will be responsible for the east and north. Call me if you find a mechanism. Pay attention to the wall, the ground and the ceiling.”

Yu Hanjiang nodded and quickly turned away.

He had just walked to the lower left corner of the ‘正’ character maze when he heard Xiao Lou’s voice in his ear. “I found it!” He had just finished speaking when a message popped up on the floating box. [Mechanism number one has been cracked.]

Yu Hanjiang, “……”

It was only a few seconds. Wasn’t this too fast?

Was the mechanism encountered by Xiao Lou that simple?

This square was like a chessboard, where the first grid of the first row, the second grid of the second row, the third grid of the third row and the fourth grid of the fourth row were marked in red and filled with a wooden square. The other grids were blue and empty.

Underneath the square was a box with many random wooden characters.

Was this mechanism to fill in the empty grids?

He had done these types of crossword puzzles when he was young but there were usually many hints, just like Sudoku. However, there were no hints in this 4×4 board
