Chapter 650: A terrifying nursery rhyme (10)

“Everyone, don’t touch anything in the room …” After Feng bujue saw the dead body, he turned around to say,”according to the nature of this scenario, it might be a ‘Crime Scene Investigation’ puzzle, so … It’s better for us to keep the crime scene in one piece.”
“I say … Brother Jue, is there even a need to investigate this?” Xiao Tan raised the flashlight and looked at the body under the bookshelf.”One look and I can tell that it was killed by the falling bookshelf …”
“Haha … Brother Xiao Tan, you’re oversimplifying things.” Mr. Buu, who had set the detective as his target, told Xiao Tan with confidence,”when investigating a crime scene, the most important thing is not to be confused by the surface …” He also pointed his flashlight at the body and said,”look closely … Under the body, there are several books …”
He was right. A few exposed corners of the books indicated that there were at least two or three books under the body.
“If the bookshelf fell down and killed it, how did the book get under its body?” Buu said,”isn’t that suspicious?”!!
“Of course it’s not suspicious …” The moment Buu said that, Feng bujue answered immediately.”In a situation like this, I can immediately come up with two reasonable hypotheses …” He extended a finger and continued,”one, when the bookshelf fell, there is a high chance that a book fell from it. As the books fell faster than the bookshelves, a few of them happened to fall under the deceased. ” He paused for half a second, then extended a second finger.”Secondly … As you can see, the body was lying face down, which means … When the bookshelf fell, her back was facing the bookshelf. Considering that the victim was a woman, we can make such an assumption … Before she died, she had just taken a few books from the bookshelf, held the books in front of her chest, and turned to leave. At that moment, the bookshelf fell down …”
“Wow! “As expected of Mr. Jue, his investigation of crime scenes is so in-depth …”Buu’s bright eyes were once again filled with admiration.
“Hmm … As expected of teacher Jue. Your deduction speed is slightly faster than the average person’s …” Aube added.
“Hey, hey … I was the one who said ‘crushed to death by a bookshelf’…” Xiao Tan laughed drily.”When I said it, I meant ‘I saw things in a simple way’, and when brother Jue said it, I meant that there was more to it …”
“Because you only saw the surface.” Feng bujue continued in a low voice,”and Buu saw the hidden information under the surface.” He paused for a moment.”As for me … I’ve seen the deeper truth behind the information hidden under the surface …”
“And the truth just so happens to match the appearance, right?” Xiao Ling interjected.
“Yes,” Feng bujue replied,”Xiao Tan and I might seem to share the same opinion, but we are actually different. He ‘knows it but doesn’t know why it is so,’ while I’m clear. ”
“You really know how to flatter yourself …” RUO Yu said coldly.
“You’re too kind,” Brother Jue shamelessly admitted it and changed the topic.”In any case … Let’s focus on the room before us …” He used the light in his hand to guide everyone’s line of sight as he said,”other than the furniture and the body, the most interesting thing is …” The light from the light shone on the other side of the room.”That door …”
At that moment, Feng bujue was using the flashlight to light up a dark gray metal door. There was a pirate’s logo painted on the door (a skull with two crossed scimitars at the bottom).
“It feels a little weird,” Xiao Tan mumbled.”The door is made of metal, but the walls on both sides of the door are made of wood …”
“This has nothing to do with the materials …” Ling said helplessly,”if the system doesn’t allow us to break it, we can’t break it even if it’s made of paper.”
“You’re right,” Feng bujue added and walked toward the door.”Even if the wall is made of paper, you have to open this door to get through.”
Before he could finish his sentence, he had already walked to the door and reached out to grab the doorknob.
The system prompt [please enter the six-digit password] immediately rang in his ear, and a [password entry menu] popped up in front of his eyes.
At the same time, something strange happened … The corpse under the bookshelf suddenly moved.
This shocked the rest of the people in the room. Xiao Tan almost screamed again.
Just as everyone was still in shock, the corpse began to sing softly,”
[One, two, three, let’s start.]
Four, five, six, walk vertically.
Let us sing the song of the Pirates.
[Walk into the river that leads to the treasure.]
After the song, the corpse began to rot rapidly and gave off a nauseating stench …
Not long after, a corpse that was originally intact became a pool of pus wrapped in clothes.
“Ah, that’s easy.” Facing the stench that had yet to dissipate, Feng bujue was not too bothered. He was only concerned about the puzzle.”I can open the door now.” As he spoke, he entered the six letters [T],[S],[A],[T],[A], and [W] into the menu.
The next second, the door with the pirate’s logo really opened …
“What’s the situation?” Aubrey was stunned.
“Oh, it’s like this …” Feng bujue explained.”When I touched the doorknob, the system audio told me that I need to enter a six-digit password to open the door.” He glanced at the pus on the ground and said,”then, the body gave an extremely obvious hint. So, I entered T, S, A, T, A, W…And the door opened. ”
“Ha?” Xiao Tan still looked confused.”Where did these six letters come from?”
“I’m sorry.” Feng bujue turned to look at him.”Do you still remember the song of the Pirates?”
Ling was the first to react.”Oh! I got it!” She had a good memory, and with brother Jue’s reminder, she understood the secret.”The clue to this puzzle was hidden in The Pirate Song. Putting aside The chorus of YOHO … the first line,’the king and his men’, starts with [T]. The second line,’the Queen being snatched from her bed’, starts with [S], and so on … Then there are [A],[T],[A], and all the way until the sixth line,’where the heart is, there is a way forward’,[W], has six letters. ”
“Oh … No wonder the song was sung in English.” Bu ou read it out loud in realization.
“As for ‘one, two, three, start with four, five, six, walk vertically’,” Aubrey said.”It’s a hint for us to decipher the ‘pirate’s song’.”
“And after we unlock it, we will be able to reach …” When Feng bujue said that, he had already leaned forward to push open the door.”…The river that leads to the treasure.”
Along with his words, a Golden ray of light poured in from the door.
This metal door with the pirate’s Mark on it … Had a three-meter-wide Golden River.
The river water flowed slowly, making a murmuring sound. The bottom of the river bed was covered with gold, silver, and jewelry. The light of the jewelry dyed the originally transparent River golden, and it emitted a dazzling light.
“Don’t rush out. There’s a hidden box in this room, and there’s a skill in it. ” At this moment, the count of script’s voice suddenly sounded in brother Jue’s mind.
This was the first time he heard brother Zun’s voice since he met up with his teammates.
“Hey, hey? Can you hear me?” Feng bujue then mumbled that in his heart, trying to see if he could communicate with brother Zun through his mind.
However, after he read it out loud, he waited for a few seconds, but the other party did not answer. It seemed that the answer was no …
“Listen, Feng bujue. “I can’t talk to you like this for a long time, so I’ll try to tell you as much as possible when I can …” After more than ten seconds, brother Zun continued,”my current state is like ‘I’m barely able to maintain rational thinking in a dream’. As long as I relax a little, this state will be interrupted. I can’t hear anything from your side, and even the images are very blurry. You don’t have to try to communicate with me, it’s a waste of effort … Anyway, at some point, I’ll take the initiative to contact you and give you some hints. And you … You better not disappoint me …”
These words rang in brother Jue’s mind, and only he could hear them.
Feng bujue did not plan to tell his teammates about his deal with the count of script because he knew … There was another powerful presence in this ‘mental world’. At this very moment,”it” must be observing the players ‘every move. If brother Jue explained his cooperation with the count of script, that ‘it’ would be alerted and make brother Jue’s mission even more difficult.
Therefore, after brother Zun finished, Feng bujue turned around and said to his teammates,””Hmm … Based on the current situation … There shouldn’t be any more ‘murder puzzles’ in this room. The body … Is just a hint.” He scanned Room C again.”However, this room is so big and there are so many things … There might be some hidden items. How about we search the place?”
“I don’t have any objections,” RUO Yu immediately agreed to brother Jue’s suggestion.
Xiao Ling and Xiao Tan looked at each other for two seconds before the former shrugged.””This script doesn’t have a time limit. Just search it.”
Buu and ou bu followed brother Jue’s lead, so they naturally did not have any objections.
Hence, the six of them split up and began a thorough search of Room C …
…………
Ten minutes passed by quietly.
Just as everyone was losing their patience (only Feng bujue knew that there was a 100% chance of finding a Skill Card in this room, but to the others, it was just a random search), Xiao Tan suddenly shouted,””Hey! Everyone, I seem to have discovered something!”
Upon hearing this, the expressions of his teammates all perked up. The five quickly gathered around Xiao Tan to see what he had found.
When Wang Tanzhi saw that his teammates had arrived, he took out the hidden blade on [touch of Altair] and quickly cut the television in front of him.
Under the illumination of several flashlights, the players were surprised to find that the so-called “TV” was actually an empty shell. Inside the realistic outer shell … Was a safe.
“Hmm … This is the first time I’ve seen such an anti-theft method.” Feng bujue touched his chin.”Compared to’ hiding in the wall and hanging a painting in front ‘… This method of’ hiding inside an old TV ‘is obviously more sophisticated …”
“Brother Xiao Tan, you can even notice that. That’s amazing.” Bu ou said to Xiao Tan.
“Hehe … I was just lucky.” Xiao Tan answered honestly,”earlier, I just wanted to move the TV away to see if there were any clues on the coffee table. I didn’t expect such a small TV … To be so ridiculously heavy. I almost smashed my own foot. “I thought it was a little strange, so I looked at it carefully … And found that this TV was very abnormal. By right … There should be some air vents on the casing of an old CRT TV for cooling, but the casing of this TV was airtight. I immediately thought … Is there something hidden inside? So, I used my hidden blade to make a small cut and shone the flashlight in …”
“After playing for so long, I’ve finally seen you solve a puzzle.” At this time, Xiao Ling took half a step forward and patted Xiao Tan’s shoulder. She showed a gratified expression.”Hmm … Keep up the good work.”
“Hey! “Please don’t make me sound so sad …” Xiao Tan narrowed his eyes and said,”because I’m always rehearsing the script with you godlike people, that’s why I don’t have the chance to solve the puzzle!” He was telling the truth. It was not that he did not know how to solve the puzzle, but … Every time he was halfway through solving the puzzle (sometimes not even halfway), a teammate like brother Jue or Ling would jump out and announce the correct answer and the process of solving the puzzle. In that case, he really did not have the chance or the need to show off.
“Okay, okay … I’ll let you play next time. Be good.” Xiao Ling placed her hand on Xiao Tan’s head and said this like she was coaxing a pet.
“Uh-huh!” Seeing that someone was releasing a flash bomb in front of him, how could the single brother oub sit still and wait to be blinded?
He cleared his throat, took two steps forward, squatted in front of the safe, and stared at the box … This series of actions allowed him to successfully drive the couple out of his sight …
Then, Aube said in a deep voice,””I’ll open the safe …” He said as he took out a hearing aid from his bag.”I’m already familiar with it.”
“Ah, good luck.” Feng bujue used that to announce his decision to stand by and do nothing.
His teammates did not know … Just a few seconds ago, count of script had explained to brother Jue how to open the box. The password to the safe was hidden in a slightly different-size book on the bookshelf. The key to the safe was divided into two parts, each buried in the two withered potted plants.
However, Feng bujue did not use the method that his honorable brother provided to unlock the door but chose to play dumb …
He had two reasons for doing so. First, he wanted to show “it” and make it lower its guard. Secondly … This kind of reward item could indeed be unlocked using methods outside of the scenario’s settings. If ou bu could really open the safe without the key and password, then he could open it. What was wrong with giving his teammates more skill points?
Katata Katata
After about three minutes of hard work, with the help of the medical tool [hearing aid] and the title ability [magnetic finger], Aube successfully opened the safe.
“Aha! It’s done!” Aubrey wiped the sweat off his forehead and stood up.
He didn’t reach out to take the skill Card in the box, but took two steps back as if it was a matter of course, letting his teammates check the attributes of the card first. From this point alone, it could be seen that Aube was a very good player.

Isn’t that the advantage of the game?] (To be continued.)
