    Chapter 34

    Finally, according to the patterns on the paper, everyone found six raised relief patterns in the room. According to the prompts, they could rotate the reliefs at a certain angle to form a complete pattern.

    “Wow…what is this thing? It still leaks when I twist it. Oh no, it leaks blood and is sticky…” Before anyone could figure out the order, Chu Yue, who had faster hands, discovered the frightening point first.

    Listening to Chu Yue’s complaints behind him, Xia Zhou’s hand on the relief trembled slightly.

    As if he was a little uneasy and a little stubborn, his long knuckles turned white from the tension.

    “This mechanism is tight, right? It’s okay. Just leave it to me. Xia Xia, go and rest next to it!” A familiar voice sounded from behind. Xia Zhou was startled. As soon as he stepped back, he leaned against a solid chest. It was Lingle.

    The big hand with clear knuckles gently lifted his wrist. Xia Zhou watched the other person carefully rub his knuckles. The emotions in his heart were like the foam balls waved out of the bubble machine. They looked beautiful, light and colorful, but when broken, they left a harsh bitterness.

    Wouldn’t this be a bit too dependent on the other party…

    Looking at Lingle’s angular facial lines in the blur of light and shadow, Xia Zhou was troubled in his heart. At the same time, he also began to realize that Lingle was no longer the child who needed to be taken care of.

    “Ahem, cough, cough, we don’t recommend making love to each other in the secret room, because when the red light shines on me, I will get pink eye!” Suddenly he put his hands on his hips and issued a “warning” to a place where no one was around. Xia Zhou looked at Ji Chenshi’s background in amusement and slowly withdrew his hand.

    After everyone was in place, they finished twisting the reliefs in order, and then there was the sound of the mechanism turning, and the huge mirror on the dressing cabinet began to glow.

    The soft light seemed to shine from the depths of the mirror. The originally hard mirror began to ripple like water waves until it gradually dissipated, leaving a dark hole.

    “So, who comes first?”

    Looking at the dark hole, no one moved for a while.

    “I’ll go first.”

    After tightening his clothes, Pei Yifan took the lead and carefully climbed into the hole.

    “Oh! There is a platform below. Fortunately, it’s not the kind where people disappear as soon as you enter. So, Brother Pei, can you see clearly what’s inside?” Ji Chenshi asked curiously, looking at Pei Yifan with half of his body still exposed in the entrance of the cave.

    “If I’m not mistaken, it’s a slide.” After carefully looking at the small platform under his feet, Pei Yifan came to the conclusion, “The platform is a bit small. It can accommodate up to two people. You can decide the order. There is a step at the connection. Pay attention to safety.”

    After everyone decided on the order, Pei Yifan’s figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.

    As the second force of the team, Lingle’s group is of course the group that stays behind.

    Watching everyone leave one after another, for a while, only Lingle and Xia Zhou were left in the bustling bride’s boudoir.

    “Come on, Zhouzhou, be careful on this step.” After glancing at the stairs under his feet, Lingle was a little worried about the height and reminded him aloud.

    The steps on his feet had already been taken. Lingle turned sideways and raised his arms, trying to give Xia Zhou some support.

    “Hey, please go downstairs and don’t do these dangerous things… I can do it myself, don’t block it.” Despite what he said, Xia Zhou subconsciously reached out his hand and responded to the other party.

    Lingle carefully supported Xia Zhou’s wrist, then turned around and looked at the steps at his feet. He walked obediently down the first floor, then turned back and continued waiting.

    Feeling the vague support on his wrist, Xia Zhou shook his fingertips with some embarrassment, gently urging Lingle to move down a level quickly, and then pay attention to safety.

    Along the stairs, a height difference formed between the two. Lingle’s fingers slid down Xia Zhou’s wrist to his palm, as if he had finally found a comfortable position, completely wrapping the other’s hand in his palm.

    Lingling did not let go until the two of them successfully stepped on the platform.

    After carefully sizing up the distance of the slide, Lingle still didn’t let go of his clenched hand.

    Helplessly moving his fingertips, Xia Zhou didn’t miss someone’s grievance, but he still pretended not to notice and continued the process as if nothing had happened, “So, you go first or I go first.”

    “Of course you leave first, I will protect you from behind!” Lingling gently held Xia Zhou’s shoulders and led him to the slide, watching carefully as Xia Zhou’s figure disappeared behind the bend.

    “Come on, come on! Everyone is here!”

    Three minutes later, Duan Xianzhi pulled up Lingle, who was still sitting at the end of the slide, and announced that everyone had arrived.

    “Wow, what is this? It’s so shocking! Mirror corridor?”

    After the slide, there was such an amazing scene. Under the dim light, there was a flash of black shadow in the mirror, and a vague sense of peeping coming from unknown corners. One step further, there was a huge mirror puzzle. The zigzag mirror surface cut out various pictures, and the flickering mirror lights blurred the line of sight, which made everyone marvel.

    After a lot of effort, everyone passed through the mirror corridor and came to a spacious room.

    There are two huge bronze mirrors facing each other in the room. Their tops are covered with thick red cloth. From time to time, angry roars and shrill screams can be heard from the mirrors.Next to the two bronze mirrors, there are a bunch of high and low mirrors, large and small.

    At the top of the room, there are white beams of light that flicker by from time to time, and there are also some fixed beams of light that shine in other corners of the room.

    After some exploration, everyone discovered that by placing specific mirrors on the passage, the light beam could be refracted to achieve the desired loop.

    After placing it, the light was reflected on the mirror, and the heavy red cloth fell to the ground.

    Everyone saw Lin Xiuer and Liu Mengsheng trapped in the mirror.

    The two of them shouted silently in the mirror, their figures vaguely visible, sometimes condensed and formed, and sometimes so thin that they seemed to be dissipating in the air.

    “What should we do? Did we miss a step? Why can’t they still see each other?” Ji Chenshi asked excitedly after trying to interact with the person in the mirror and found that the other person could see him.

    “This groove…does it look familiar to you?” After calling Lingle aside, Xia Zhou pointed to a candlestick-like stand in front of him.

    “Huh? Isn’t this a candlestick? Is there any problem?” Xia Zhou’s movements attracted everyone’s attention, and Chu Yue immediately came over.

    “Hmm…” Staring silently at the groove in front of him, Lingle pondered motionlessly.

    “It does seem a little different. Look, there are a total of 8 electronic candlesticks in the room. 4 are fixed in the corners, 2 are movable, and 2 have this different style.” After some comparison, everyone also discovered the difference.

    “Xia Xia, if you have any idea, just do it. Anyway, no one has any ideas now. Maybe you can just pass the level just like Lingle did at that time.” Looking at Xia Zhou’s hesitant look, Shen Xuan encouraged him kindly.

    “Okay, I’ll give it a try.” With Teacher Shen’s approval, Xia Zhou decided to give it a try.

    While moving the candlestick, Xia Zhou said his thoughts, “I think this groove looks familiar. Based on the previous plot, everyone has collected some props. Although most of them are used on the display stand in the backyard, I still have a compass here that I haven’t used.”

    “Then when I was adjusting the position of the mirror just now, I found that there were notches on the ground. They were probably used to indicate the position of the mirror. However, there were still a few unused notches under my feet, so I wondered if there was another path to connect.”

    He directed Lingle, Chu and Ji to place the two candlesticks and brackets in the notched positions, and then took out the compass from his pocket.After rotating and swinging, Xia Zhou took out a hollow compass and carefully placed it in the groove of the stand.

    Click.

    Tightly stitched.

    “Yes, yes! This idea should be right!” Everyone was a little excited when they saw the hollowed-out copper compass piece stuck in the groove accurately, “So here it is! Is there another piece here?”

    “Hour!” After looking at the compass carefully, Duan Xianzhi suddenly seemed to remember something.

    “Oh oh oh! This thing is used here! Let me tell you, I worked so hard to get a big copper piece and I don’t know what it is used for.” After Duan Xianzhi reminded him, Ji Chenshi suddenly realized and took out a bag from his pocket, and inside it was another hollow copper piece with a different pattern.

    “…Why do I think you should be the first to discover this level? Is that right, Ji Xiaoxiao!” Seeing Ji Chenshi acting stupid again, Chu Yue couldn’t help but complained again.

    “Hey, hey, there’s always a time when the brain short-circuits! I’ve inserted the copper piece, oh, a pattern is reflected on the ground! What’s the next step?” Haha, Ji Chenshi finished inserting the copper piece with his hands and feet, and then stepped aside.

    “The next step… should be to see how to adjust this light…” Following Ji Chenshi’s question, everyone’s eyes came to Xia Zhou again. Under the pressure, Xia Zhou took a step forward and began to think about how to focus the light.

    “Here.” The candlesticks were also placed, and Lingle quickly noticed the difference.

    Gently twisting the raised decoration of the candlestick, the electronic candlestick suddenly changed from the lighting mode to a ray, accurately passing through the copper sheet in front, and projecting a leafy locust tree on the wall behind the bronze mirror.

    “!!!”

    “Isn’t this the crooked-necked tree in the backyard! That’s okay, Ling Xiaole. You’re also placing candlesticks. Why are you so showy?” Looking at the vivid reflection on the wall, Ji Chenshi praised in shock.

    “Because the feel is different.” After rubbing his fingertips, Lin Le quickly glanced at Xia Zhou beside him and answered with a bit of embarrassment.
