Chapter 574 Failure

His words to himself echoed in the corridor, and then he heard a noise that did not belong to him.

Click, click, click.

It's like countless bricks rubbing against each other, creating countless stone chips.

Li Ang's expression suddenly changed, and he turned around to look, only to see a faint light flickering at the end of the corridor, projecting a huge figure on the stone wall.

He had already memorized the topographic map of the entire corridor, and the location where the sound came from should be...

That stone wall next to room F!

Li Ang made a prompt decision and directly turned the flame of the kerosene lamp to the darkest level, stretched out his hand to cover the light,

Hold the screwdriver,

He hunched his body, stepped lightly, walked quietly against the wall, and rushed toward the end of the corridor.

As he rushed out of the corner,

All I could see was that the masonry on the wall next to Room F was being rearranged quickly.

Through the gap in the stone wall that is two palms wide,

He could vaguely see a figure wearing the same rubber clothing as him, holding a lantern.

Slowly walked towards a white-haired woman standing at the edge of the corridor, wearing a gorgeous gothic black dress and a white cloth blindfold.

"etc!"

Li Ang ran wildly and shouted loudly,

However, with a "click" sound, the stone wall was completely closed, leaving no gap.

"..."

Li Ang stood in front of the stone wall, holding a lamp and breathing heavily.

The journey just now left him out of breath, and his limbs were as numb and painful as sugar cane that had been squeezed dry.

But what concerned him more was the rubber figure that disappeared behind the stone wall, and the white-haired woman standing behind the stone wall waiting.

"What the hell is going on... Why is that person wearing the same clothes as me? Is he a contestant like me, or is he the dungeon designer himself..."

The tunnel gradually returned to darkness, and Li Ang, who was leaning against the wall and muttering to himself, realized that,

The kerosene lamp that had been turned to the lowest setting had quietly gone out during the run.

Li Ang subconsciously reached out and touched the envelope

When his fingers touched the matchbox hidden in the envelope, the movement of his hand froze inexplicably.

"There are two matches in the matchbox in room B. Could it be that the dungeon designer knew that I would lower the light and chase me out, causing the kerosene lamp to go out..."

Li Ang pursed his lips tightly, struck the match, and relit the kerosene lamp.

Under the light, look at the stone wall again.

He had checked before and there were no dark bricks on the wall, nor would it respond to slogans like "Open Sesame."

"The cylindrical groove seems to have been used just now...there are residual water stains inside..."

Li Ang reached out and wiped the grooves on the stone wall. After hesitating for a moment, he put his glove to his mouth and licked the fingertips of the glove.

"A bit sweet...and a bit rusty? Could it be..."

Li Ang's complexion changed slightly,

He wiped his gloves with the remaining rags and glanced at the stone wall.

Then he turned around and left, returning to the door of Room C.

"If I hadn't cracked the code on door C before,

So now, I should have to install a kerosene lamp in the dark without light, and decipher the code based on the letter.

Now that I know the password is to have light, combined with the completely dark scene in this corridor, it means that I should use a kerosene lamp now..."

Li Ang muttered to himself, raised the kerosene lamp, and moved closer to the eye pattern on the door of room C.

The light illuminates the pattern and nothing happens.

"Huh? No response?"

He frowned, stretched out his hand to turn the button, adjusted the length of the wick, and made the light gradually brighter.

Finally, when the light reached a certain threshold, the metal door began to slide to the right.

Like Room B, Room C also has two doors.

He stood in the middle of the circle, waited until the inner door opened, then stepped into it, and the inner door closed at the same time.

Perhaps to keep pace with the corridor, there was no light in the room.

Li Ang held the kerosene lamp and moved forward cautiously.

I found room C empty.

There is a big red button on the wall.

There are three items placed on the floor,

A gold-inlaid water cup with the word "5L" engraved on the bottom

A plastic pipe five centimeters in diameter, and a letter.

Open the envelope as before, the letter inside reads:

“Aha, Morgan, you made it to the third room!

Should I congratulate you on your progress, or condemn you for being too slow?

Since you barely cracked my secret code (even though it was really simple), I'll mercifully give you some hints.

The buttons on the wall are related to the water supply system in the entire corridor.

You have to press a button to open the inner door of room C and allow the water system to start for 2 minutes.

You'll need a little extra work to get the water to the door in Room D - you know how.

One last reminder, listen carefully. "

Almost at the moment Li Ang read the last word, there was a sound of opening the door above the ceiling.

The sound of men's leather shoes and women's high heels came to the center of the ceiling one after the other.

"Failed, failed"

The man's distracted voice sounded, "Failed, failed, failed..."

"Father, please cheer up."

A clear female voice sounded, which was more childish than the female voice I heard in room B before, "My mother and my sister both need you to save them.

If even you give up, then no one in this world can save them. "

"save..."

The man's voice sounded like he was talking in his sleep, "I have tried all the methods, but I still can't make the right potion...

I need more time...time..."

After a long silence, the man spoke again, "Alice."

"I am here."

"The time is now."

"9:30 pm on the 7th."

"Is it still too late?"

"Did you say that? It's too late."

"...I'm ready to go down into the well."

"Yeah, I'll get ready right away."

"You don't have to follow..."

"What are you talking about? If it weren't for me, you would definitely make the laboratory a mess. You can't even remember where the test tubes and beakers are."

"...Thanks."

The footsteps gradually faded away amid Li Ang's shouts.

"It's the same as before."

Li Ang took a deep breath, "Okay, this time another female voice appeared,

It can be assumed for the time being that she is the eldest daughter of the alchemist.

She said it was 9:30 pm on the 7th. Judging from the battery consumption on my left arm, I should have woken up at 9:00 pm on the 7th.

At 9:10, leave room A,

At 9:15, I entered Room B and heard the conversation between the couple upstairs.

Wait, the alchemist and his wife were just discussing what to do after the problem is solved.

Why did he decide that he had failed after only 15 minutes?

He also said that he would go down into the well to save his wife and little daughter..."
