Girls Frontline: Griffin Security
Chapter 70 Solving the Puzzle
Different from traditional reasoning, solving word puzzles requires more divergent thinking. People often have to make associations based on the various information given by the questioner in order to get the correct answer.
This is exactly what Xu Bin is not good at—if you give him a mystery novel, he might be able to figure out the answer before the author does. But if you give him a brain teaser at the middle school level, he will probably surrender.
Xu Bin, who had not been able to come up with an answer for a long time, was close to breaking down. He was now thinking with his head down: From which position would it be more appropriate to blow up the door?
Unlike him, Ellen, who had just come to his senses, seemed to be able to solve the mystery.
He walked forward and looked at the door for a while, then said: "The 'key' to open the door... should be colored light"
"Colored light?"
"Well, look here: 'The noble confessor understood this sin and was given the noble key'... There are two adjectives with similar meanings in this sentence, namely 'noble' and 'noble'. And there are seven small discs of different colors around the small hole..."
"You mean, if the disc is the key, then nobility and dignity are...purple?"
"Yes," Ellen nodded, and then took off the small purple disc: "Since purple dye is difficult to extract, it was a symbol of nobility and dignity in ancient times..."
As he said this, he was about to stuff the small disc into the hole.
But at this moment, Xu Bin beside him suddenly had an idea and quickly raised his hand to stop him: "Wait a minute"
"what happened?"
"If the puzzle is using two words to imply a color..." Xu Bin pointed to the words carved on the door: "We can't ignore the previous sentence."
"What's in front..." Allen looked down at the puzzle, then took a deep breath and went in:
Courage and passion, calmness and tranquility...these are also two groups of words with similar meanings!
It was a close call...If the commander hadn't stopped me in time, the small disc that was stuffed into the hole would have been impossible to get out!
While Ellen was secretly rejoicing, he scratched his head and thought:
If I remember correctly, red.....symbolizes qualities such as passion, bravery and resistance;
Blue, on the other hand, represents tranquility and peace.
But this doesn’t make sense... What’s the connection between the colors red and blue and the Key of Nobility? Isn’t the Key of Nobility a metaphor for purple?
Allen's train of thought was stuck again, and he had to tell everyone his doubts.
Gather the wisdom of all. These four words are true in any country.
Before the humanoids had time to discuss, RO635 gave the answer: "Red and blue are the three primary colors of light. When mixed, they can become purple light."
"Yes! That's it!" After hearing the human figure's answer, Xu Bin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief—finally, he didn't have to solve this boring word puzzle anymore!
He quickly put the purple disc in Ellen's hand back on the door, and then took off the red and blue discs.
Xu Bin thought for a moment and put the blue one into the hole first.
The reason why he did this was simple—the puzzle said that "courage and passion" would pierce "calm and tranquility", which suggested that the small blue disc representing "calm and tranquility" needed to be pierced by the red light of "courage and passion".
So how do you create red light? Of course, you shine light from outside the hole into it!
Therefore, Xu Bin decided to stuff the small red disc into the hole at the end.
But what he didn't know was that it didn't matter which disc he put in first... as long as he made sure that two lenses were put in total and the purple light was shining on the receiver behind the door.
Since this mechanical door was just a crude creation made by the hospital cleaner on a whim, he could easily have any humanoid next to him kick it open (even himself).
...
Click——
As the operation was completed, a crisp sound was heard from behind the door, and the mechanism door was slowly opened.
Gently pushing the door open, several neatly stacked barrels of gasoline appeared before my eyes.
I really didn’t expect this... How could a genius store gasoline here?
Xu Bin, who was a little amused, walked into the room and waved his hand and ordered: "RO and M16, bring fuel downstairs to restart the generator. When the power is restored, meet us at the staircase on the fourth floor."
"clear"
The two humanoids responded in unison and went downstairs carrying a few barrels of fuel...
The girls acted decisively, making Ellen look a little stupid: "So what should we do?"
"Of course I'm going to find your brother," Xu Bin replied, patting the other person's shoulder.
It can be seen that since Ryan and Kyle acknowledged his identity, Allen in front of him has suddenly become much better. It seems that he has regained his soul, which can be seen from the way he actively solved the puzzle just now.
This is something to be happy about...
But no matter how happy he was, Xu Bin's patience was almost running out.
As a security contractor, his job shouldn't be so complicated. Originally, he could just walk away after sending the client to Silent Hill, but who knew that troubles would come one after another?
Since last night (to be exact, early this morning), he has been constantly expanding his "knowledge" in this small town: thick fog that he has never seen before... mentally ill residents... strange-looking monsters... oh, and that girl with dead fish eyes who calls herself Dandelai.
What the hell is going on? I'm just a security guard, not a private detective hired by Silent Hill to perform physical exorcism.
Ouch, my head hurts so much...!
Thinking of this, Xu Bin couldn't help but cover his head, and secretly made a decision in his heart:
After Kyle downstairs finished the operation, he found all those unfamiliar people, such as Dr. Ella... Grandma Lottie... Ellen the Amnesiac... Patient Kyle... Private Ryan... and packed them up and brought them all down the mountain!
Obviously, we can no longer stay in Silent Hill. Escorting you down the mountain, then calling the police and letting the Federation figure out a solution, this is the greatest good thing Xu Bin and his team can do.
If we insist on staying in the town to investigate the cause, once the humanoids run out of bullets, the final outcome for everyone will just be a few more corpses here.
Xu Bin smiled to himself and turned to lead the others to the fourth floor. I hope Ryan is safe now...
