Chapter 52 Secret Room
Once you have an idea, put it into practice immediately.
Wang Congshan took out the Cardinal Rubik's Cube and expanded it.
Due to the limited spiritual power, the factory after unfolding the Cardinal's Rubik's Cube seems to be a few circles smaller than the original one.
I saw dark green square safes pasted on the factory assembly line.
Hundreds of miniature cutting lathes began to eat the eight corners of the safe.
Blah blah blah.
The firelight flickered, the noise was harsh,
The metallic paint on the surface of the safe keeps peeling off, revealing the solid metal core inside.
But the devouring efficiency is still pitifully slow.
Not long after, Wang Congshan's face turned as pale as paper, and Li Ang immediately asked her to stop.
"call..."
Wang Congshan took a deep breath and said softly: "The Cardinal Rubik's Cube seems unwilling to swallow the safe.
The assimilation efficiency is many times slower than swallowing other objects in the real world, and the spiritual energy consumed is much higher. "
"Don't want to swallow it?"
Li Ang frowned slightly. He had also watched Wang Congshan explore the limits of the Cardinal's Rubik's Cube before.
Whether living or dead, mundane matter or supernatural elements,
The cardinal devil will not reject anyone who comes.
And the higher the quality of the material, the stronger the initiative of Cardinal Rubik's Cube to devour.
When it comes to items such as rotten meat and nutritious mud, the Cardinal's cube's desire to devour will be greatly reduced, and it may even be suspected of being "passive and sabotaging".
"Collect the Cardinal's Rubik's Cube. It seems that you must find the corresponding password."
Li Ang asked Wang Congshan to put away the Rubik's Cube.
Since the safe was too heavy to carry, the two temporarily placed the safe in the corridor and continued exploring other places.
They discovered that the kitchen faucet would not produce water—it was probably the same as closing the washroom to prevent the two of them from flowing.
I took two sharp kitchen knives as backup weapons.
After entering the backyard through the kitchen door, I discovered something unusual in the garden.
The color of one piece of land is obviously different from other ground, and the soil color is lighter.
The two pushed away the soil and discovered a wooden trap door.
The trap door is one meter square, and there is a metal lock at the switch.
With the light of the house, through the gap in the wood of the trap door, one can see what seems to be a sloping stone step below the trap door, leading to an unknown direction.
Restrictions that prevent people from seeing their faces, shoe cabinets with ghosts hidden in them, TVs that make cries, advanced combination locks that appear in ordinary houses, trap doors hidden in gardens...
Since trapdoors cannot be destroyed or locked,
Li Ang and Wang Congshan had no choice but to think about the current clues, return to the house, climb to the second floor, and continue the next step of exploration.
The area on the second floor is much smaller than that on the first floor, with only two rooms.
One is a bedroom for children, and the other is a workroom and study room.
In the children's room, there are two desks with lamps and a bookcase with comic books and elementary school textbooks.
There are two sets of mattresses and two piles of clothes in the compartment. The sizes of the clothes are basically the same——
In the photo, the two children of the Fujimura family are close in age and height. It is estimated that their parents placed the clothes of the two children in different compartments.
Li Ang and Wang Congshan rummaged through the room and learned the names of the two children through the name tags on the back of their clothes.
Their names are Yoichi and Ryosuke.
The workroom is much more special.
There is a large bookshelf on the right wall of the room.
On the left wall, there are dozens of Noh masks hanging.
This mask, often used in Noh plays, is carved from cypress wood. It is light and thin, and slightly smaller than a human face.
The masks on the wall include men, women, animals, demons, and monks.
Dozens of masks hang on the wall, with empty eyes overlooking the two players who broke into the room, and the corners of their grinned lips seem to be smiling.
Wang Congshan clenched her pistol uncomfortably. She didn't quite understand the craftsmanship of Hijima Noh noodles.
However, the workmanship of these masks is indeed extremely exquisite.
The surface is smooth and clean,
The pigment is close to human skin,
From a distance, it looks both real and fake, giving people an uncomfortable feeling of being spied on.
In the corner of the room, there is a desk, which is covered with cushions, with lamps, wood, carving knives, and drawing paper. Judging from the looks of it, these nuggets must have been carved on this table.
Wang Congshan turned her head away from looking at those creepy noodles and said, "Is the male owner of this Fujimura family a noodle maker?"
"It should be."
Li Ang approached the desk and took a glance. The things on the desk were relatively normal.
But why, this room has a weird feeling...
Li Ang frowned and looked at the room carefully. As if he noticed something, he went to the bookcase next to the wall and groped for the books on it for a while.
Wang Congshan asked: "What's wrong?"
"The distance is wrong."
Li Ang spoke concisely and concisely, abandoned the bookcase, returned to the corridor, started from the children's bedroom, and paced back and forth in the corridor.
Wang Congshan blinked, confused at first, but soon understood Li Ang's intention.
Observed from the outside of the house, the structure of the second floor is basically a regular rectangle.
The office and the children's bedroom are separated by a corridor with a window at the end.
This means that the dimensions of the office and the children's bedroom are basically the same.
However, an office with dim lighting is obviously much narrower and cramped than a child's bedroom.
"The depth of the large bookcase is obviously not enough to make up for the missing floor space. In other words, there is a hidden secret room in the room."
Using the distance between his steps, Li Ang roughly estimated that the location of the hidden secret room should be behind the bookcase.
After confirming this, he returned to the studio and continued his search.
He and Wang Congshan moved all the books on the bookcase. They did not find that after moving a certain book, the bookcase would change.
So he and Wang Congshan took down all the books on the bookcase and knocked on the bookshelf partition, but there was still no change.
"The room is only this big in total. If it is a secret room, it is definitely impossible to set the mechanism too far away, and it is impossible to put the mechanism in the children's bedroom..."
Wang Congshan frowned slightly and turned her gaze to the wall with the energy surfaces, "Could it be that the mechanism is on these energy surfaces?"
"possible."
Li Ang's eyes lit up. He brought a stool and asked Wang Congshan to hold it up. He stood on the stool and went to get the masks. He found that there were grooves similar to the mortise and tenon structure at the back of the masks.
Some panels can be removed from the wall, while others are fixed to wooden dowels.
The removed Noh noodles accounted for exactly half of the total number of masks.
"If we rearrange the nōnoodles according to their types, such as male-type, female-type, male-type, ghost-type, etc..."
Li Ang pondered, rearranged and combined these energy surfaces, and scraped them on the wooden nails.
After trying it several times, I heard a click and all the functional surfaces returned to their positions one by one.
The bookcase behind the two people also made a squeaking sound.
The left side of the bookcase slid back, revealing a narrower secret room.
