Chapter 520 The Real Treasure

Li Tianyu turned on the heart network to sense it, but then shook his head: "Three are dead ends, they should not be mazes, but some kind of mechanism to be solved. What's more, even if they are not dead ends, in this kind of trap Places can't be flashed casually, what if you flash into a trap?"

Therefore, Li Tianyu, Shen Yan, and Liu Zihao walked forward along the three roads, while Zheng Nanxing waited in place, so as not to trigger some trap and separate the three of them and have no way to reunite.

Li Tianyu walked forward from the triangle marked intersection on the left, and finally came to a treasure chest.

"My place is a treasure chest." Li Tianyu reminded through the headset, "Where are you?"

"This is also a treasure chest for me." Shen Yan replied, followed by Liu Zihao's reply: "I am too... so this looks like three treasure chests for us to choose one of? If we choose the wrong one, there will be no punishment, right?"

"Observe first." Li Tianyu said, observing carefully in the cave.

The treasure chest rests on a stand with a torch on either side, but otherwise nothing special.

"Open it, it doesn't seem to be tricky." Li Tianyu said, he took the lead to open the treasure chest first, but just in case, he carefully adjusted the angle so that no poisonous gas or hidden weapons would be sprayed out of the chest.

But upon opening the box, inside was a note with the words "Love of the Blind". Soon, Shen Yan also gave a reply. Her side also had a note "The Greedy One's Jealousy", while Liu Zihao's side said the content of the note was "The Fool's Persistence". There are only these three notes, everything is broken here, and there are no clues.

However, soon Zheng Nanxing suddenly replied: "Brother Tianyu, there is a combination lock here."

"We'll come right away." Li Tianyu replied, and then he and Shen Yan returned to the previous fork.

Sure enough, as Zheng Nanxing said, there should have been a wall before, but now there is an extra combination lock with three square-shaped gaps on it, as if asking them to place three puzzle pieces in this place. Li Tianyu reckoned that the information on the puzzle was related to the three notes they found, or to the sign at the previous intersection.

"But where to find it?" Li Tianyu frowned, and then opened his heart network to sense the terrain. Only then did he realize that the way they came from before had changed. Obviously, there were no forks before coming here, but now there are a few more forks, leading to several other rooms. It seems that some switches were triggered later, opening the way to these rooms .

But the strange thing is that Li Tianyu didn't find the location of this room before from his own mind network.

"It feels as if it appeared out of thin air." Li Tianyu couldn't help thinking to himself, but he and Shen Yan turned their heads to look back, and then came to this extra room, and there were six bottom brackets in this room, There is a puzzle board with a different pattern on each of them, which should be placed on the previous combination lock.

However, only three of the six are correct, so how to choose is a problem.

"What happens if you choose the wrong one?" Liu Zihao asked tentatively at this time.

"Anyway, I know I won't open the door if I choose the wrong one, why don't you try it?" Li Tianyu said angrily.

"Even if you have to try it, it's very troublesome. Choose three out of six, and there are twenty combinations of any three combinations. How long will it take to try?" Zheng Nanxing muttered, "Think about it, do you have any clues? "

"Clues..." Li Tianyu took out the three pieces of paper, "The question now is whether the clue is these three pieces of paper, or the sign at the entrance of the passage before we entered. Anyway, let's take a look at these six patterns first." .”

The six patterns in front of them are heart, crown, harp, rope, boat and wings, and there are no cross, triangle and circle patterns at the passage door, so it is obvious that these six patterns are based on the three clues in their hands. elected.

"The love of the blind, the jealousy of the greedy, the persistence of the fool..." Zheng Nanxing snatched the note from their hands and looked at it. Li Tianyu thought for a while and said, "Is the love of the blind the heart? The heart symbolizes love."

"But it's a heart, not love." Shen Yan retorted, and then grabbed another picture of a rope: "I think it's a rope, love is like a rope connecting two people together."

"It also makes sense..." Li Tianyu frowned, and Liu Zihao continued: "Then what about the obsession of fools? Is it a crown? It symbolizes the pursuit of power by human beings? But what is the jealousy of greedy people? Ships? Harps? None of them match."

"Oh, you two are so noisy." Zheng Nanxing frowned, "Think carefully, don't guess randomly. Everything is based on evidence, I think these three clues are hinting to us. Do you still remember that this treasure is what?"

"The treasures of the Sirens?" Li Tianyu asked tentatively, and Zheng Nanxing nodded: "So, let's start with the Sirens. First of all, how did the Sirens come from? They were originally the daughters of the river god Ecrowus. The beautiful goblin born from his blood, ended up having its wings pulled out because of failure in the music competition with the Muse. It could only swim around the coastline, and occasionally turned into a mermaid to lure the sailors. I think these three clues It's hinting at us about something in the story."

To be honest, Li Tianyu couldn't figure out what the hint was, because he didn't know the legend of the Siren at all.

"Well, there are other legends about the siren, that is, the boss of the siren, Parcelope, loves a human named Odysseus deeply, but the crew of this man named Odysseus drove a ship past the siren When he was in the sea area, he asked the crew to plug their ears with wax, and then tied him to the mast, so that they would not pay attention to themselves when they passed the island of death, so they passed the island of death smoothly. After that, Parceloper was heartbroken , and threw himself into the sea.”

"Well, it feels like these three clues are implying something..." Li Tianyu said thoughtfully.

"Yes, judging from these three clues, the facts seem to be different from what we know." Shen Yan also nodded.

"Could it be..." Liu Zihao rolled his eyes, "In that competition, it was Muse who secretly played tricks, because she was jealous of the talents of the three Siren sisters, which caused them to lose and their wings were pulled out. Otherwise Think about it, it’s just a music competition, and if you lose, you lose. As for pulling out someone’s wings, is it so cruel? It makes them fall into the mortal world.”

"That's right." Shen Yan echoed, "Besides, why did Odysseus tie himself to the mast when he passed by the island of death? Wouldn't it be good to just plug his ears with wax like the other crew members? You say, yes Could it not be that the crew tied him to the mast on purpose, so that Parse Loper would think that this man had betrayed her, so he threw himself into the sea in a heartbroken heart?"

For a moment, Li Tianyu felt as if everything had been straightened out. Indeed, this story is a bit strange to hear. But with everyone's guesses in a few words, it seems that the truth of a story has surfaced. Zheng Nanxing also made a conclusion: "The muses are the legendary narcissus family who guard the spring water. I think one of the muses must have fallen in love with Odysseus, and then began to plot against Parseloper."

Liu Zihao said excitedly: "Besides, some kind of disgraceful means should be used to frame Parcelope, and then they won without a fight. It is precisely because of this that the three Siren sisters were pulled out of their wings and fell into the mortal world. So After that, Odysseus wanted to find his beloved goddess, but the muse secretly bought the crew and tied him to the mast."

"Parse Loper, who didn't see his dwarf, was heartbroken, and finally threw himself into the sea...it's reasonable." Li Tianyu nodded. "Then, after knowing the 'truth' of this story, how should we choose the puzzle?"

"The jealousy of the greedy..." Zheng Nanxing said, grabbing the harp, "symbolizing the Muse." Then she grabbed the rope pattern, "The love of the blind, symbolizing Odysseus being tied up On the mast, "the last is the wing, "the fool's persistence, symbolizing Parselope's love for Odysseus, which made her lose her wings and throw herself into the sea."

"I have all three patterns, let's go and open the door." Li Tianyu replied, and everyone returned to the coded locked door.

However, when they put the three patterns on, the combination lock did not respond, neither did a trap appear to indicate they were wrong, nor did it open the door. Li Tianyu asked curiously: "Is the order wrong?"

However, even when they switched the order back and forth, nothing happened.

Li Tianyu thought for a while, and took out the pictures of the three clues before.

"Wait a minute." Li Tianyu superimposed the clue "Love of the Blind" he found with the pattern of the rope, and pasted it on the door panel of the combination lock. Now this jigsaw puzzle fits perfectly inside the combination lock .

"So that's how it is! We need to make sure that we are not just guessing, but really know the meaning of these three clues." Suddenly, Shen Yan pasted the patterns and clues together and put them in the combination lock. Then Liu Zihao followed suit, and finally, after the three puzzle pieces were put into the combination lock, a ray of light spread out from the combination lock as the center, and the scenery around them changed instantly.

However, there are still two doors in front of him. The doors are made of transparent glass, and the things behind can be seen through the glass.

In the room on the left is a tomb with a stone statue of a mermaid sitting on it, while the right is full of gold and silver jewels.

"What are you doing!?" Seeing that Liu Zihao was about to open the door on the right, Li Tianyu immediately grabbed his hand and asked.

"Isn't it a treasure? Get the treasure and leave." Liu Zihao asked puzzled.

"You have to choose one of the two, don't you see?" Li Tianyu frowned and asked sternly.

"Why choose one of the two, can't you drive both?" Liu Zihao raised his eyebrows, Li Tianyu shook his head: "Don't think too simply, in fact, I have been suspecting that everything we see is an illusion, and it is the siren who made it happen." The hallucinations we see. We haven't broken free from the hallucinations from the beginning, so my mental network can't perceive the exact terrain here."

"So..." Liu Zihao swallowed nervously and said, Li Tianyu replied: "If you make a mistake, you will never recover."

With that said, Li Tianyu looked to the left: "I think this mission is not so much about finding the siren's treasure, but rather letting us find the 'right treasure' for the siren. The choice here is, what is the treasure? .”

Li Tianyu pressed on the doorknob on the left, swallowed and said, "Is it gold and silver treasures, or the love of a girl who is willing to wait for you foolishly, and is even willing to die for you."

After speaking, Li Tianyu twisted the doorknob vigorously and entered the tomb on the left.

I saw that the stone on the surface of the mermaid statue dissipated in an instant, turning into a beautiful mermaid, and the whole room was immediately fragrant with birds and flowers, as if in heaven. The mermaid held her hands together, looked at them and smiled happily: "Odysseus, is that you? I finally got you...I knew that you would definitely come to me. I love you..."

After saying this affectionate confession, the figure of the mermaid dissipated in an instant, and the scene in front of her changed into another scene. The four of them stood on a small reef, surrounded by sea water, and the waves were violent He slapped the reef anxiously, and when he looked carefully, the sea was full of white bones, so densely packed that it made people feel hairy.

Obviously, if you take a wrong step just now, you will fall into the water, and then you may be dragged into the deep sea in the hallucination.

When the hallucinations in front of them finally disappeared, they found that there were two mermaids sitting on the reef next to them and watching them.

"You have found the truth, this is the 'Siren's Treasure'." The red-haired mermaid smiled softly, "Please remember this truth, please tell the world. And you will get the Siren Your blessings, you will be loved by the Sirens, you will be loved by this sea, no matter where you are on this sea, you will be surrounded by this blessing."

The four of them were surrounded by a ray of light. Li Tianyu checked the "buff" on his body and found that it was described as "the blessing of the siren". Ken and the ghost ship attack while being able to kill the "Cursed Crew".

"That's it?" Li Tianyu's first reaction was actually this, but he didn't dare to say it in front of the siren.

After all, judging from the previous situation, after being controlled by the hallucination, unless the siren takes the initiative to release it, it will always fall into the hallucination. What's more, in fact, this blessing may not be of much use to them, but it is indeed the most precious treasure for the crew members sailing at sea. After all, what is more important than life?

To be loved by this moody sea is every sailor's dream.

After getting the treasure of the Siren, they also successfully completed the task of this scene.

They re-entered the preparation room and started the final settlement of this mission.
