Chapter 288: Not Easy to Solve
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
With Bai Lin leading the way, leaving the labyrinth seemed to be a piece of cake. Very quickly, they successfully met up with Yan Ruo and the others who were waiting outside.
However, this was only the starting point. If they wanted to go deeper into underground area, they would have to go in again and go through the maze.
As soon as it was mentioned, Zheng You immediately retorted in dissatisfaction, “Since we still have to go in, then why did we come back here just now? Can’t we stay inside and find the exit?”
Before Bai Lin could say anything, Li Xuan stood up and retorted, “Of course we can. Then some people will be left in the labyrinth for the rest of their lives!”
When Bai Lin and Yan Ruo were not around, Li Xuan and Zheng You had daggers drawn at each other. Basically, Li Xuan would retort whatever Zheng
You said, but he did not make it explicit. Instead, he discreetly ridiculed Zheng You. The audience who hated Zheng You liked how mean and sarcastic he was.
When Li Xuan was criticizing Zheng You, there were cla.s.sic line from his retorts which attracted a wave of fans for him.
Zheng You knew what Li Xuan was hinting at, but she could not say it out loud.
If being with Bai Lin made her angry and jealous, then Li Xuan’s appearance around her gave her a bigger headache. It was as if 50 chirping sparrows had been stuffed into a quiet bedroom.
Since Zheng You could not chase away this super annoying sparrow, it made her even more frustrated.
Bai Lin ignored Li Xuan’s hostility toward Zheng You. She had more important things to deal with.
“How is it? Did you find it?” Bai Lin walked to Yan Ruffs side and asked.
Yan Ruo lightly shook his head, his tone a little reproachful, “There’s a puzzle to be solved. It’s not easy.”
Before Bai Lin entered, she realized that the maze was controlled by a mechanism. If she could turn off the mechanism, the visual interference would end, and the difficulty of the maze would be greatly reduced.
There would no longer be the problem of teammates suddenly disappearing in front of them by then.
Originally, she and Yan Ruo had both discovered this point. She had planned to find those who were already trapped in the maze by herself and hand decrypting the mechanism over to Yan Ruo.
However, she did not expect Yan Ruo to say that the puzzle was not easy to solve.
Bai Lin went over and studied it for a while. She found that it was already 90% percent complete and there was only one last step left.
She suddenly wondered if Yan Ruo had intentionally wanted her to complete this final step.
Was he not being too humble when he said that it was not too easy then?
The mechanism was similar to Klotski’s puzzle-solving logic. Pushing out the last piece would trigger the switch. However, this mechanism was only a little bigger than a palm and was difficult to detect due to the visual effect.
Bai Lin stepped forward and pushed the sliding lever. It only took her four moves to push the key switch to the designated position.
The light on the ceiling gradually dimmed, turning into a gentler brightness.
The previous brightness was too bright that it was even a little blinding if one looked up. The current brightness was very comfortable. The projection on the gla.s.s maze had also been turned off, revealing the original appearance of the labyrinth walls.
“That’s amazing, Xiao Lin! You really do know everything!” When Li Xuan saw that Bai Lin had successfully unlocked the mechanism, he immediately started praising her with an intentionally raised voice.
Bai Lin said lightly, “It’s all thanks to Best Actor Yan. I only did the simplest step.”
Li Xuan blinked. He did not expect Bai Lin to not take credit at all and turn around to praise Yan Ruo.
“Haha, Best Actor Yan is so smart.” His words of praise suddenly became very polite. His voice returned to normal and there was no longer the enthusiasm he had when he praised Bai Lin.
Li Xuan thought about it and suddenly raised his voice again. “Best Actor Yan’s so smart, and our Xiao Lin has good skills and brains. The two of you are really a good match! Complementary to each other! A match made in heaven!”
As expected, when Zheng You heard this, she was already gritting her teeth in anger, but she could not show it on her face. She had been vomiting just now, so she currently suffered a great blow both physically and mentally. She wanted nothing more than to hire another group of people to pull out Li
Xuan’s tongue..
