Cataclysm King - #57 - Chapter 57: The final solution to the maze

  Chapter 57 The final solution to the maze

   This is one of the joys of decryption.

  Often inadvertent inspiration is the key to breaking the game.

   Then it suddenly became clear.

  Hearing Ji Xun speak, Chu Jiu and Nan Jing were stunned.

   Immediately, surprise and deep anticipation appeared on his face.

  Nan Jing was puzzled and said, “The key?”

  Ji Xun’s eyes gradually deepened, and he nodded: “Yes! To be precise, it is the ‘secret key’ to decrypt.”

  He looked at the psychic lady, and added: “What you just said inspired me!”

  Nan Jing also looked confused, pointing at himself, “Ah, what did I just say?”

  She was made to doubt herself by Ji Xun’s attitude.

  It sounds like he found some key clue?

   Chujiu listened and recalled what Nan Jing said, but after thinking about it, he obviously didn’t understand.

Ji found a way to crack it, with burning eyes, he explained directly: “The maze and this secret room are one! We can’t limit our thinking of solving puzzles to the murals in this secret room. The maze we walked before is actually the one that can crack these contents Methods.”

After a pause, he continued: “To put it simply, the route we walked before is the secret key, and the text in this secret room is the code book. The previous maze was the Rubik’s Cube, and this secret room is also the Rubik’s Cube! Solve the maze The way you move, you have already grasped the way to break the game.”

   This is the simplest way of hiding information in cryptography.

  The difficulty lies here.

  If you can’t think of that direction, even if you rack your brains, you still can’t think of it.

   After saying this, Chu Jiu faintly understood something, looked at the symbols on the wall bricks: “You mean, you want to mess up these symbols, and then recombine them with specific ideas?”

“right!”

  Ji Xun nodded, and said: “The craftsmen who built this maze hid the cipher text in the pictures and texts they carved. The word order is not what we see on the surface, but is hidden.”

  Nan Jing’s big bright eyes blinked lightly, and he understood belatedly, and said, “I understand too!”

   But the two women tried their best to recall the route they walked, but some of them were already blurred.

   And, how to disrupt it?

  Use paper to copy down the symbols one by one, and then cut out the jigsaw puzzle?

   No need!

   Ji Xun can say it, so naturally he doesn’t need others to recall it, he clearly remembers the route.

  ↑←↓←↑→↓←

   This is the line they used to enter this underground palace before.

  If this square secret room is regarded as a twistable “magic cube”, then those wall tiles engraved with symbols are movable squares.

  According to this twisting sequence, the block will leave its original position.

   Then recompose a new arrangement.

  The symbols recorded in Ji Xun’s mind at this moment began to work automatically.

  When he finished speaking, he had already twisted all the Rubik’s cubes to the final position in his mind, and then he saw several consecutive mysterious symbols: ”, ”.

   It is not necessary to fix only this one move, but the final result all point to the same result!

   This is a brilliant design!

   Ji Xun felt a surge in his heart that he hadn’t experienced for a long time.

  He happened to know each other.

  Those characters mean in the ancient language of Talun: a hidden passage.

   It suddenly dawned on me.

   But it doesn’t matter if you don’t know each other.

  The way to leave the maze is not to touch any mechanism, nor to know the Tarun symbol, but to understand this idea!

  Ji Xun walked over and tapped on the two symbols that were far apart.

  His tapping action seemed to trigger the judgment mechanism of the different-dimensional space.

  As soon as the last character is tapped, Enlightenment has already displayed: “You found a secret way out of the maze, congratulations on cracking the maze of the Great Cemetery”

“found it!”

   Ji Xun’s eyebrows moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

   Facts have proved that his previous thinking is completely correct.

   Now that the puzzle is solved, the thinking becomes clear at once.

   Three thousand years ago, craftsmen built this mausoleum, and the king chose to keep it secret. A certain craftsman made preparations in advance, so in the design of the maze, an escape route was hidden. And he also hid the information of that secret path in these carvings in a wonderful way.

   Not only did Ji Xun see Qidi, Chu Jiu and Nan Jing also saw it.

  Nan Jing’s eyes widened in an instant, and he still couldn’t believe it: Did he find the exit?

  They just watched Ji Xun analyze a lot of theories there, and then before their brains could keep up with the train of thought, they watched this guy lightly tap a few wall bricks.

   Then, enlightenment occurs.

   There is a kind of dreamlike unreality.

  Nan Jing couldn’t help the excitement in his heart, covered his mouth and exclaimed: “Sister Chu Jiu, we can go out now!”

  The ninth day of the ninth day was also very pleasantly surprised.

   But the joy was only on her face for a moment.

   Immediately, she didn’t know what to think of, her expression became very complicated, and she murmured in her heart: Did you survive?

   Ji Xun himself let out a long breath.

  The pleasure brought to him by cracking the maze made him fall into a very strange state at the moment.

   Really understand the subtlety of the design of this maze, cracking it for a moment, it will give people a sense of spiritual satisfaction that is more sublimated in carnal desire.

  Looking at the sky-filled sculptures in the secret room, he murmured to himself, and couldn’t help but sigh with emotion: “The encryption method of that craftsman back then was really amazing.”

  Being able to hide clues in such a complex carving and ensure the logic of the original content is smooth, the computing power required is simply beyond the reach of ordinary people’s brain thinking.

  Ji Xun can crack it.

  But if he wanted to design such a maze by himself, it would be at least a hundred times more difficult.

   Could this be the extraordinary ability endowed by the [5 Wisdom] sequence?

   Sure enough, the world in the eyes of wise men is completely different from the world in the eyes of ordinary people.

  Ji Xun suddenly felt that the extraordinary world became more and more exciting.

   Let mortals see the truth with the eyes of the extraordinary!

  Sometimes surprises come too suddenly, making people feel unreal.

  Nan Jing was staring at the distorted black hole in front of him with starry eyes at this moment, with the words “I’m not dreaming” written all over his face.

  The elite army of the Governor’s Mansion was wiped out in this maze, and the three of them survived?

  This kind of ecstasy after a catastrophe, people who have not experienced it will definitely not be able to understand it.

  Although she heard so much just now, the psychic lady has not fully figured out the principle of the Rubik’s Cube that Ji Xun said until now.

  She didn’t have enough brains, so she didn’t bother much, and asked excitedly, “Mr. Ji Xun, how did you do it?”

  But as soon as she spoke, the excitement on her face froze there.

  Because she also noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the secret room.

  There is no joy, only silence.

   Turning to look, Chu Jiu looked sad.

   Ji Xun didn’t speak either.

  As if he had guessed something, he lowered his brows, looking very deep in his eyes.

  Nan Jing was puzzled and asked, “Sister Chu Jiu?”

   Can get out alive, why are they unhappy?

  These two guys seem to have fallen into the kind of subtle tacit understanding that both of them understand, but they don’t.

   I heard it on the ninth day of the ninth day.

   Facing his closest partner, he responded with a slight smile.

  She walked over, put her hand on Nan Jing’s shoulder, and there was a flash of hopeful elite in her eyes, “Xiao Nan, you have to take care of yourself in the future.”

  Nan Jing felt that the words were inexplicable, but he also heard that the words seemed to be saying goodbye, “You?”

  Just when I was about to say something, I suddenly felt that my brain was empty, and I fell into a coma.

  Ji Xun watched silently from the side.

   Not unexpected.

   On the ninth day of the ninth day, he put the unconscious Nan Jing on the ground, stood up, and said to Ji Xun in a sincere and entrusting tone: “Mr. Ji Xun, Xiao Nan will be counting on you.”

  Ji Xun listened and fell silent for a moment.

  His eyes were a little complicated, but he finally responded: “Yes.”

  In fact, he had already thought of it before.

  My old friend has a treasure that can leave the different-dimensional space in his hand, and this maze can’t trap her from beginning to end.

   But that is to say, there is a high probability that the person who wants to kill her also knows this information.

  That’s why in the maze, there is a backstab arrangement.

   Just in case, there must be someone waiting outside the maze.

  If the assassination fails, someone will make up for it.

   To avoid future troubles.

  So Ji Xun knew from the very beginning that even if he found the exit, Chu Jiu would not be able to go out with others.

  Going out together will only cause others to die.

  Ji Xun can think of this.

  Chu Jiu also knew that he could think of this.

   This is also the reason why both of them fell into silence when the exit appeared before.

  This kind of tacit understanding, I don’t know when it will be there.

   It is impossible for the ninth day of the ninth day to take Nan Jing out to take risks.

   She looked at Ji Xun and agreed, then nodded slightly: “I’m sorry to trouble you.”

   As he spoke, he took a last look at his partner, turned around and walked towards the Distorted Light Gate.

  The earthenware pot on the ground, the spoils of the third-tier Frost Knight, she didn’t take anything.

   Probably want to do entrusted rewards.

  Or don’t care anymore.

  Ji Xun remained silent.

   But looking at the back of that sadly turning back, he thought of something, and still greeted him: “Hello.”

   Chu Jiu looked back.

  Ji Xun thought for a second, and said a farewell sentence casually: “It’s rare to meet a friend with the right appetite. If you can live, don’t die.”

  “.”

   Chu Jiu heard this and glanced at him.

  I wanted to respond to him politely.

   But the words were on the lips, and the grief of being stabbed in the back by a close relative hit her heart, but she couldn’t say a word.

   After all, he just turned around and left.

   It seems that he said “um”, but he couldn’t hear it clearly. The lonely figure has disappeared into the secret room.

  The three-person team lost one person, and Ji Xun also sighed slightly.

   Not to mention any hypocritical ideas.

  The first person I met when I came to this world was Chu Jiu, who had a very good temper.

   What’s more, I encountered it twice, and it was a great help both times.

   This is hard to come by.

  The backstab was obviously a big blow to Chu Jiu, but it was a private matter that she had to deal with, and Ji Xun had nothing to say.

   Watching the person leave, he glanced at Nan Jing who was in a coma again, and swept away the chaotic thoughts for that moment.

  Ji Xun turned his gaze back to the Talun ancient inscription on the wall.

  Actually, he hadn’t had time to elaborate just now. Apart from hiding the exit information, there should be a hidden plot in this secret room.

   is also hidden in those symbols by craftsmen.

   Clearing the customs does not necessarily require knowledge of the ancient Tarun language. Once you understand the method, you can use the method just now to open the exit.

  But to trigger this hidden plot, one must be able to understand what was written in the secret room.

   On the other side of the “Rubik’s Cube” in Ji Xun’s mind, when a few characters are combined, there is such a passage.

  The translation of the content roughly means: “The queen opened the secret passage of the tomb with her beautiful singing, and went to the place where the king slept.”

   It looks like a hidden channel can be opened in some way.

  Trigger the ultimate easter egg?

  Ji Xun has some solutions.

   But after thinking about it, he didn’t choose to trigger this branch to hide the plot.

  Exit has already appeared, there is no need to do more.

  Because he reckons that if he can pass the level now, he can probably get an A or B grade evaluation. If the hidden plot is triggered, it is very likely to trigger the “S perfect evaluation”. Or directly because some easter eggs were unlocked, and then the whole space disappeared directly.

  If he changed to another place, he would definitely not give up this kind of extra gain.

  But right now I dare not.

   No need to think about it, Governor Cao Sihai has been trapped in the maze for six days.

   Now the outside must be densely packed with people waiting for the result.

   Not all of them belong to the Governor’s Mansion.

   But absolutely everyone is curious about what happened in the maze.

   If the different-dimensional space should disappear directly, then Ji Xun can imagine that as soon as he went out, he would be pointed at his head by 10,000 guns.

   More importantly, this is a D-level different-dimensional space.

  The most important reason why it ruined the group of people in the Governor’s Mansion was that the trapping characteristics of the labyrinth-like space and the sequence of decryption were disrupted, not how difficult it was itself.

   And the name of this space is [Maze of the Great Cemetery], not [King XX’s Tomb].

  So Ji Xun guessed that even if the hidden plot is triggered, the rewards will definitely not be too generous.

  Now Ji Xun has eight trophies of the Frost Knight in his hands, plus the current third-tier one, and the mysterious [Curse Pot].

  This harvest is already beyond the reach of many high-level different-dimensional spaces.

   There is no need to be greedy for the petty profits of the sidelines to hide the plot.

  Ji Xun thought of this, so he didn’t think about the branch line of the maze anymore.

  He walked over to the body.

  The ninth day left without taking anything.

   Ji Xun naturally put it away politely.

  He put away the Frost Knight’s armor, great sword and storage ring.

   This is high-level equipment with the prefix “Excellence”, which is more valuable than the previous sets of excellent armor.

   There is also the mysterious [Curse Pot of Mantras]. This thing cannot be stuffed into the storage ring. He can only wrap it with a piece of linen and hang it around his waist.

   After packing up the loot, Ji Xun sat next to the corpse and began to meditate, while using [Feast] to continue devouring the extraordinary characteristics of the corpse.

  Nan Jing hasn’t woken up yet, and going out on the ninth day of the ninth day may cause some disturbances, so he has to wait before going out.

   In a flash, it was already eight hours later.

  Nan Jing just woke up.
