Infinite Survival: The winner takes all!

Chapter 553 The puzzle is solved

When the other four heard this, they showed a look of doubt on their faces, but if it really was the word "Palace", the answer seemed to be obvious?

When the door slowly opened, everyone's eyes were immediately attracted by the eye-catching red characters on the white porcelain area in the middle of the floor. It was a big "Palace" character.

They smiled at each other, and their hearts suddenly became clear, as if the clouds had cleared and the sun was shining.

"I understand!" Yunshan shouted excitedly, "In the words 动, 迷, 宫, the word '移' is missing, and in the words 有, 九, 出, 口, the word '号' is missing."

"These two words are hidden in room number one and room number seven respectively. Putting them together, they read 'There is an exit for the moving maze at number nine'!"

"Haha, it turns out the exit is hidden in room number nine." Dongmen Qiansha couldn't help laughing out loud, feeling very happy.

Cecily couldn't help but turn her head to look at Li Ming, and said speechlessly: "Little man, since you already knew the answer, why did you take us around in such a long circle? Isn't it a waste of time?"

"Maybe Li Ming wants us to all participate in person and experience the process of solving the puzzle." Xingmei tried to defend Li Ming.

"Uh..." A trace of embarrassment flashed across Li Ming's face. He hesitated for a moment before explaining, "You do have a rich imagination, but you didn't pay more attention to some key details, so the answer you inferred is slightly biased."

"Oh?" Yun Shan's excited expression froze instantly. "Could it be that our inference is wrong?"

Cecily, Xingmei and Dongmen Qiansha were also stunned when they heard this. They thought that this inference was very reasonable. Besides, could these few characters have any other meanings?

"Well... your inference cannot be said to be completely wrong." Li Ming said slowly, "But there is still a certain gap from the correct answer."

"Humph, I don't believe it." Yun Shan snorted, and then a sly smile flashed in her light green eyes, "Student Li Ming, you are not deliberately teasing us and setting a trap for us, are you?"

"I'm not that boring." Li Ming responded calmly, without a trace of emotion. "Apart from anything else, since it's a puzzle, it has to make people think a little bit and think about it in a roundabout way. There's no such a straightforward answer."

Hearing this, Cecily and the others frowned slightly. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense. The puzzle was indeed too straightforward.

However, Yunshan still had doubts, "Since you said so, just announce your answer directly."

Li Ming smiled softly and said, "It's rare that you are willing to use your brains. Let's go to room seven and find out what's going on."

"If your speculation is correct, the characters inside should mean '移' or '号', but I guess it is definitely not these two characters."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the door.

Seeing Li Ming's firm attitude, the other four people couldn't help but begin to waver.

Even Yunshan, who is always confident, is wondering if something went wrong somewhere.

Room 7 was located directly below Room 4. This time they were quite lucky and successfully found this place in just 30 minutes.

Yunshan couldn't wait to push open the door, wanting to take a quick look.

At this moment, the room was empty, with only a small piece of eye-catching white porcelain floor in the center with a red character engraved on it.

Surprisingly, this character does not mean "shift" or "number", but means "ge".

Yunshan stared blankly at the characters on the floor with a dazed look on her face. She didn't expect that her inference was actually wrong.

After a long time, the discussion of the three people next to her brought her back to her senses.

"There are nine exits of the moving maze?" Dongmen Qiansha muttered softly, trying to understand this new clue.

"The moving maze has nine exits, which makes it more logical," Cecily added, "and it also fits perfectly with the order of rooms one to nine."

"But the meaning is still the same," Xingmei concluded, "So, are these nine rooms all exits?"

Cecily, Yunshan and Dongmen Qiansha looked around involuntarily. Every room was exactly the same, with an area of ​​only about 20 square meters. There was nothing else except the characters left on the floor.

Several people searched the room carefully, but did not find any mechanism.

So where exactly is the exit hidden, or have they misunderstood the puzzle again and the exit isn't actually in these rooms?

Yun Shan pretended to glance at Li Ming casually. Seeing that he looked so relaxed, she couldn't help but feel annoyed. "Don't stand aside and watch us laugh. Just tell us where the exit is."

"Alas." Li Ming sighed softly and said with some helplessness: "The answer is actually obvious. Think carefully about the rules of the game again."

"Rules of the game..." Yun Shan frowned slightly and muttered to herself, "It is forbidden to use force against other team members, and it is forbidden to destroy the moving maze..."

"No!" Xingmei suddenly interrupted her, "The rules prohibit the use of any means to destroy the moving wall."

"But is there any difference between the two?" Dongmen Qiansha asked doubtfully, "If we can destroy the movable wall at will, we can just use violence to find the exit directly."

Several people's eyes focused on Li Ming again, as if waiting for him to continue giving hints.

Li Ming did not keep the question secret any longer and began to speak methodically: "First of all, why does the moving maze have such an empty room? If it is just to provide character information, wouldn't it be better to write it directly on the door?"

"Secondly, why does the game have movable walls that can be destroyed? Doesn't the system have the ability to build an indestructible wall?"

"Of course it does. For example, the light blue translucent ceiling above the maze is something we can't do anything about."

"Third, the rules clearly prohibit the destruction of moving walls. Why do you emphasize this point? Instead of prohibiting the destruction of all objects in the maze?"

"Finally, according to the puzzle clue, 'The moving maze has nine exits,' this obviously corresponds to the nine numbered rooms."

“Isn’t the answer already out?”

At this point, he pointed to a small patch of floor in front of his feet and asked, "Why is the small patch in the center of each room made of the same destructible white porcelain material as the movable walls?"

After Li Ming finished speaking, the room fell into silence.

Finally, Dongmen Qiansha broke the silence. She said with some hesitation, "Captain, do you mean that we need to destroy the white porcelain floor in the center of the room?"
