So I became a witch

After all, what went wrong.

"!!!" I turned around abruptly, the mansion was still standing on the flat ground, motionless.

Is it an illusion?No, at that moment just now, there was definitely something looking at me.

Where did it come from!I quickly scanned every window in the mansion, and quickly locked on one of them, the corners of my mouth raised unconsciously.

Got you.

I quickly rushed back to the mansion, and the maids who greeted me along the way ignored me, and rushed directly to the second room from the right on the fourth floor of the mansion, a small study.

As soon as I opened the door, there was a gust of wind blowing in front of me, and the curtains were blown wildly. I rushed forward and closed the windows, and the curtains slowly calmed down.This is also the reason why I locked this house for the first time. Although there was such a strong wind at that time, only the curtains of this room with the windows open did not move at all. be seen by me.

But has it run away?He seemed to be in a hurry, and accidentally knocked the photo frame on the table to the ground.I picked it up casually and put it back on the table.

Hey, this is... Yang Mingzhi's family portrait when he was a child?

The background of the photo is in front of the gate of this mansion. Yang Mingzhi, who was only six or seven years old at the time, was sandwiched between his parents, smiling happily. The pixels of the parents' faces were turning yellow, and it was impossible to see their appearance clearly.

Well, what a harmonious scene, let's put it away first.

Really, who was spying on me just now? Aside from the lady who never showed up, the only ones left in this mansion are those strange maids.Or just ask them one by one.

As I was thinking about what to do next, I was attracted by a small mark on the table.

"ccoa..." No, I can't see clearly.Because the tabletop has just been wiped with a wet rag, such marks can be vaguely seen, but this mark will soon disappear with the volatilization of water.

Fortunately, I have already guessed the source of this mark.

I flipped through the bottom of the frame and sure enough I found what I was looking for.

It seems that my guess is right, someone seems to have deliberately made the base of this photo frame into something like a coat of arms, and it has been hidden here for a long time.I have to admire his ingenuity. If the table hadn't been wiped by chance, or if the photo frame hadn't been knocked over by chance, I would never have discovered such a secret.As for what is engraved on it, just try again.

I quickly found ink and white paper from this study room. After using a straw to take out a small amount and smeared it on the bottom of the photo frame, I pressed it on the white paper with a little force, and got a clear engraving.

"ccoadsee erotic Wang Yangren"

Ahh, it looks like it's time for my favorite decryption.

(Finally at the deciphering session, Luo Tianchen said that people who fight and kill people don’t like it ╭(╯^╰)╮, intelligence is his strong point. I wonder if any smart readers have already guessed the answer? )

Chapter 110 Complete Explanation

Since it is a puzzle combining Chinese and English, let's consider the English part first.

Ccoadsee, at least in my impression, there is no country with this word in the text, which means that there is a high probability that it is combined after the alphabetical order is disrupted.Generally speaking, in the absence of prompts, encryption questions with simple letters like this often don't have too many tricks, and the main ones are chaos and reverse order.For the sake of convenience, the encryption method will have certain rules, as long as you understand this point, it will become quite easy to unlock.

The first is to look at it as an eight-letter word, obviously there will be no meaningful words.If it is split into three words, the number of letters in a single word is too small to form a word.That is, this should be a column of letters consisting of two words.

What method will be used to combine it?Splitting, bubbling... interspersed.

Try to put out every other letter separately, then this string of words becomes... code case (password box).

It turned out to be the fence code, which was surprisingly simple.If I were to do it, I would at least add an inversion.By the way, this should be the most common encryption method in the cryptographic world.To put it simply, it is like the two words code case, which are interspersed with each other and correspond to each other like a fence, so it becomes the initial c'c'o'a'd's'e'e' ('' as a word).The inversion is to change ccoadsee into eesdaocc, a simple step, but it can double the work of the decryptor.

But as for the lockbox, I saw it in the room next door. At that time, I thought it was some personal item and didn't touch it. Now it seems that there should be some secret in it.

Soon, I saw the silver official document locker standing in the corner again in the gym next door to the study.Although it is made of iron, it is not difficult for me to force it open now, but to be on the safe side, it is better to follow the rules, who knows if there will be a bomb hidden in it, I am not afraid, just I am afraid that the important things inside will be destroyed.

The password of the lockbox has a total of six digits, which just correspond to six Chinese characters, that is to say, if there is no accident, these six Chinese characters are the password.Is the correspondence between Chinese characters and numbers... Let's enter the number of strokes first to see.

3……3……4……4……6……2……

The lockbox didn't budge.

It seems that I think too simple.However, since it is not related to strokes, it should be related to structure.

There seems to be no similarities and differences in the structure of the Wangyang people in Gongkou.Apart from strokes, what else can be linked to numbers...

Slightly, I feel a little tricky.Really, it would be great if you could give me some hints, even if there is only one person, you should be able to see the connection between the two.

If I have to say it, it can be associated with numbers. After all, it looks quite similar to "0". If "kou" = "0"... huh?

No, maybe if you look at it this way, then the password should be... 402693.

When I finished turning the last number, with a light "pimple" sound, the combination box opened in response.

Sure enough, the decryption method of this level depends on the number of strokes.Because "口" is a square with no protruding strokes, it is 0. From this we can see that "Zhong" has two protruding strokes, that is, 2. Similarly, it can be deduced that "gong" = 4, king = 6, sheep = 9 , person=3, so the password is 402693.What a boring person to come up with such a puzzle.

Now that it's on, I have nothing to complain about.Let's take a look at what's hidden inside.

After opening the box, the first thing I saw was a transparent glass bottle placed on the side, which contained half a bottle of unknown liquid, and above the liquid was a piece of paper that seemed to be glued.Instinct told me that there must be something important on this note. I kept the bottle on its side, carefully took it out of the lockbox, opened the piston, and poured out the liquid inside.

Immediately, a strong chemical reaction occurred between the nylon carpet and the liquid. There was a big hole in the nylon carpet, and the surrounding parts were all carbonized and blackened, giving off an unpleasant smell.

Are these liquids concentrated sulfuric acid?My face suddenly became heavy.If I had flipped the box randomly or tried to open the box by force, the note would have been corroded 100%.Because it is too troublesome to take out the paper from the mouth of the bottle, I chose to split the glass bottle in half without hurting myself, and easily took out the note that was sandwiched between a small piece of glass and the wall of the glass bottle .

"The midpoint where light and shadow are intertwined, the virtual images of all living beings are printed backwards, she will guide us to that other world."

...What kind of riddle is this again?

However, if it is Chinese, it should not encrypt permutations and combinations like English. The grammar is fairly smooth, but the meaning cannot be understood.

Can't figure it out.I turned the paper over and found another string of numbers.

406,407,203,210.

This...does it refer to the room number?

Indeed, every room in this mansion is marked with a room number. For example, the room I am staying in now is room 402, 406 and 407. If I remember correctly, it should be on my right, with the stairs in the middle of two rooms.

Does this mean there are new clues in these rooms?But in my impression, there shouldn't be anything locked like this combination box.Anyway, let's go see it again.

Time passed by, and my heart became inexplicably irritable, and there was a voice in my head that kept urging me to leave here quickly.I suppressed the urge forcefully and examined it more carefully.

No, still nothing.

Is my understanding wrong?These numbers don't represent room numbers at all, but something else?Or is it outside this room?I finally gave up looking, pushed open the door and planned to leave, because I was too focused and forgot to turn, and just collided with the painting on the wall in front of me.

I sat on the ground, touched my forehead, and paid attention to the content of the hanging painting, consciously or unconsciously.This is a rather strange oil painting. It is strange, because there is no signature of the artist on the paper, and the paper used does not leave traces of the times. It should be a work of the past few decades. Really. I don't know what kind of mentality Father Yang had to hang this painting on the wall.The content of the painting is probably a mother taking the child to the market. The mother points to the lower right with one hand, and holds the child with the other hand. Found something interesting.Apart from that, there is nothing special about it. The canvas is sealed by the mirror frame, which is neither movable nor mechanism.Paintings like this can be seen everywhere in this mansion, and there is one hanging on the wall in front of every room. It is not a rare thing, so I subconsciously ignored it.

Wait, if those numbers represent not rooms, but corresponding portraits...

Suddenly, it was like a bolt of lightning flashed through my brain.With that flash of inspiration, I took out my mobile phone, quickly took a photo of the painting in front of me, and immediately ran to Room 407.This time, the figure in the painting was changed to a man with a long snake hanging around his neck. His hand stretched out to the lower left, holding the snake's body, while the snake's head drooped disobediently.I took the second photo, then ran to 203,210, and took the third and fourth photos.Finally, I returned to the hall on the first floor, under the huge glazed window.

At this time, it was past three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was gradually setting, and the projection on the ground had disappeared. Only the woman painted on the glass window was still hanging on the cross, with blood flowing down her slanted arm. The pure white skin was stained red.

It really is like this.

I dug out a few photos I had taken before from my phone, and in each photo there were two bodies of life, pointing to each other in different directions.If you arrange these paintings according to their locations and connect their directions, you will find that the direction of the child in painting 406 and the snake in painting 407 is exactly the same as the crucified woman in the center of the hall on the first floor. corresponding to the arm facing.

I connected them all on paper, and finally got, an inverted pentagram.

Already, fully understood.

I silently climbed to the middle of the third floor, in front of a weird oil painting.The painting is a half-length painting of a woman, her eyes are covered by a red hood, there is a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and her long golden hair hangs down her shoulders.Without hesitation, I took down the painting, revealing the wall behind it.There is a mirror mounted on the wall, but the strange thing is that nothing is printed on this mirror, only a piece of pure black.

406,407,203,210, 3, [-], [-], the four groups of numbers represent the portraits on the wall in front of each room; the "interweaving" in the sentence "the midpoint where light and shadow are intertwined" implies that a pentagram is obtained by connecting the points of the characters in the painting, And the "midpoint" of the five-pointed star is the stairway on the third floor where I am now, and the position of the portrait; the "inverted print" and "virtual image" in the "virtual image of all living beings printed upside down" should refer to this mirror. It’s just that it can’t illuminate people yet, that is to say, it’s a one-way mirror. I tried to press the edge of the mirror hard, and the mirror immediately turned around with the center line as the axis, revealing a reflective side.

Then, there is the identity of "she" in "she will guide us".Speaking of the inverted pentagram, the first thing people think of is Satanism.Since it is a woman and has a relationship with Satanism, it is not difficult to think that it refers to Satan's lover Lilith, that is, the woman in the portrait.And one of Lilith's titles is...the Witch of the Night.

"She" is the witch.

"To that other world".The other world guided by the witch, there is only one possibility, that is... the imaginary domain.

Chapter 110 IX The White Room

The whole mansion was completely dark the moment I flipped the mirror, and it was no longer as bright as before.Through the window, I saw that the originally clear sky had been covered by chaotic black mist, turning into a color I had seen countless times before.

Seriously, no matter how many times I watch it, it still makes me sick.

I summoned the Blade of the Void Moon immediately. Although it is difficult for it to appear and function in the real world, it can definitely be called a big killer in this kind of space that exists in nothingness.Because the uneasiness in my heart lingered for a long time, I didn't choose to use the Void Eye and proceeded cautiously.

I am afraid it is impossible to leave. From the moment I solved the puzzle, I was pulled into the world here. Whether it is the corridor or the stairs, it becomes infinitely extended due to the distortion of space, and there is no end in sight. .

Damn it, if I can use the Eye of Void... I felt that it was tricky, and then I realized that I depended too much on the Eye of Void.Once this ability is lost, it is easy to control.Fortunately, it was not too late to find out, enough to remedy.

I took a deep breath and tried to adjust my mentality.Anyway, after accepting the power of me in the past, the current me can also reach the level of the sixth level of the mortal world. With the blade of the virtual moon, I may not be weaker than anyone else.It's just that, once you get used to the field of vision of that piece of data information, it's really uncomfortable to look back at the ordinary world.

After walking forward for a while, I found that if I kept walking like this, it seemed that I would never come to an end, so I decided to go into the room to have a look.

"Hi, is anyone there?" I tapped on the door lightly.

And no one answered.Well, this is a matter of course, after all, places like Void Domain are not accessible to ordinary people.I turned the doorknob and found it wasn't locked, so I pushed the door open.

"!" The momentary sense of danger made my body take a step back, narrowly dodging the waving giant claws, and before the opponent could pull back, I squatted down, punched, and stabbed in one go.The Void Beast let out an angry roar, and turned into a black mist unwillingly to dissipate.

Huh, it's so dangerous, but fortunately, my body still remembers the moves I learned from my master at that time.Speaking of which, why are there virtual beasts in this kind of place? If I hadn't reacted quickly... No, this is a virtual domain. Isn't it normal to have virtual beasts?

……

In short, in short, it is better to check whether there is any other danger in this room. It would be bad if there are void beasts hiding there waiting to ambush.

However, I quickly dismissed the idea.

Because there is nothing in the room.

Yes, there are only six white walls, and the house is empty, like a closed prison, but in the middle of the three walls in front of me, on the right, there is a door that is exactly the same as when I came in.

What's happening here?Is it for me to choose one of the doors?

"Cough." While I was thinking, a crisp sound suddenly sounded from behind.I turned around in a hurry, but it was too late, the door I came in had disappeared and turned into a white wall.

I hesitated for a while between the two options of simply smashing the wall or moving on, but I chose to move on. After all, going back is going to take the endless corridor, so why not try to see if there is a way out here.

I randomly chose the door in the middle, and walked in openly.Firstly, I am quite confident in my luck, and secondly, even if there are Void Beasts, I am not very afraid.

There is still nothing in the room, only the left, middle and right doors stand alone.The door at the back disappeared as before, but this time I didn't hesitate, but directly chose one of the doors and walked in.

What was waiting for me this time was an iron ball falling from the sky, which hit the ground heavily. If it was an ordinary person, it would definitely be crushed into meat paste in an instant. Fortunately, I dodged in time, but it was not over yet. After a few laps, there was a sudden explosion, and countless pieces of iron crashed into the wall.Ah, of course all the shots at me were blocked by the blade of the virtual moon, and I entered the third room without any danger.

After entering several rooms in this way, I also understood the structure of this maze.First of all, there are three types of rooms, the first is the safe room, the one with nothing, the second is the monster room, where random types of virtual beasts will appear, the third is the trap room, the ground thorn iron ball oven... Anyway, almost every trap you can think of is here.For me, compared to the monster room, the trap room is more dangerous. After all, mortals are still classified as "human beings", even if their physical strength is much higher than that of ordinary people, they will still die.And then, most importantly, here, you can never go back, and you can't stand still, because after I tried to stay in the safe room for a while, one of the three doors suddenly disappeared without warning.If I stayed longer, I am afraid that the other two doors will disappear one after another. At that time, I am afraid that I will be trapped in this room forever, and I will never be able to get out.

"Ah! Ha!" I jumped high with the recoil of my feet on the wall, flew over the Void Beast's head, and inserted the Void Moon Blade into the back of its neck. After it completely disappeared, I relaxed my body. Sitting slumped on the ground, panting heavily.

After all, how long has passed?Have I walked a hundred, two hundred, or five hundred rooms?With the increase of the number of rooms, the strength of traps and virtual beasts is also increasing. Several times I stepped on the verge of death, and finally I broke through it abruptly.Because of the time limit, I couldn't rest in the same room for too long, and at the same time, I had to go through traps or kill virtual beasts before the door disappeared, and my body became exhausted after going back and forth.But mental exhaustion is more frightening than physical exhaustion.Am I on the right track, will this road really have an end, or just stay here and forget it.I was once shaken in my heart. Could it be that those puzzles are actually traps, a trap that invites people to step into, and the owner of the trap is watching from the outside, quietly admiring the struggling and finally desperate expressions of the entrants.If this maze really has no end, wouldn't it be better to stop?

I don't know who the designer of this maze is, but what is certain is that he is definitely a "demon" who can see through people's hearts.

So, do you want to give up?

How can it be!

How do you think I got to where I am today? It's too early to make me give up just because of these little tricks!

Think about it, Luo Tianchen, it is impossible for a maze with only an entrance and no exit to exist in the world. Where there is life, there must be death, and where there is right, there must be opposite. Otherwise, this maze would not have been established from the very beginning.Hitting the wall doesn't work either, who knows what the material of this maze is made of. If I can use the Void Eye, I might still have a chance, but now I can't do it at all.If there are Xingyan-level powerhouses, this maze can only be broken every minute. Why do you need to wander around like me to find the rules... the rules?

Wait a minute, I remember that the first thing I came in was the monster room, then the safe room, the trap room, and then the safe room. If we use 123 to represent them, it is 1232113323333312...1232113...121...12321...

No, in that case, should I say...

I struggled to stand up from the ground, pushed open the door in the middle, and walked in.

Nothing happened.

It's a safe room.

So, the next room will be...

monster room.

What was waiting for me was a tauren-like Void Beast with a pitch-black body and two axes in hand. The muscles of the whole body rose and fell with the frequency of breathing, exuding a huge aura.

The seventh level of the mortal world, no, at least the eighth level above. In terms of oppression, it is enough to compare with the giant black dragon I met back then. The instinct of the body sends me such a message all the time: If you fight against it, you will definitely die.

I looked at it without fear, and raised the long sword in my hand high.As if understanding the fighting spirit in my eyes, Void Beast raised the double axes just like me.We roared at the same time and rushed towards each other... No wonder.

I turned around abruptly, and with all my strength, I slammed the Void Moon Blade hard against the wall behind me.With a loud bang, a crack appeared on the originally impossible-to-break wall.

Sure enough, my guess was correct.Then, next, just smash it harder.

When I found out that the Minotaur who had been tricked by me was stunned, it roared angrier than before.To this, my natural reaction was to... run away.

What a joke, facing this opponent that I could only beat in my heyday, how can I fight head-on with it at this time.The Minotaur threw its ax vigorously, and rushed towards it with a gust of blade wind. I quickly lowered my head, only to feel my scalp go numb.What a terrifying power it takes to create a near-vacuum environment with only my body, if I hadn’t been far enough away, I’m afraid I’d be forcibly sucked under the spinning ax and split in half.But that's all there is to it.

The tauren's attack just now hit the wall behind me precisely, and there was a bigger gap where there was a crack. I kicked it hard, and the wall finally collapsed completely. I resisted the dust in my mouth After rushing out, the tauren wanted to follow closely, but unfortunately there was a mysterious force blocking its progress.In its unwilling roar, the wall was repaired little by little, and finally restored to its original state, and the voice of the tauren disappeared completely.

Unexpectedly, I guessed it right. It turns out that the so-called exit has always been hidden.In fact, the maze reminded this point at the very beginning. Since the entrance door has become a wall, can the wall be turned into an exit door?Of course, not all walls can be destroyed, I've experimented with that.As for which walls can be destroyed, if I ask you, it's about every 32 rooms.

Chapter 120 Cool Nancy

The reason why I say this is because I noticed that the order of appearance of the rooms is not random, but has a corresponding order. With 32 rooms as a cycle, the monster room, the safe room, the trap room, the safe room... the monster room, the safe room, the monster room In such a cycle, the three doors are actually just a trick to fool people. No matter which door you choose, the result is the same, but it is difficult for people who are trapped in the maze to find this point, and will continue to struggle with their choices, thus missing Knowing that the appearance of the room is regular, in the end, he dives deeper and deeper in despair, until he is killed by a monster trap beyond his own strength, or is trapped in a room without a door waiting to die.It has to be said that it is really a vicious design. The gradual disappearance of the door urges the intruders to move forward, and the increasingly powerful monsters destroy the spirit and body of the infiltrators, forcing them to be unable to think, and finally collapse little by little.If you want to leave this room, you must pay attention to the hidden hint that the door you entered at the beginning disappears. This is the beginning of each cycle, and the wall of the room at the end of each cycle is the door to go out.
