BXBX NOVEL Chapter 308: Solve the Case
Chapter 308
After saying that, she even suddenly stood up, raring to have a go.
Nan Xiangwan: “I’ve been saying there’s something wrong with that well, I have to go out and draw some water from that well!”
Deng Si Nan: “There was a new bride who was thrown into the well, just don’t know if she was thrown in alive or dead.”
Zhu Sha: “But we\'re locked in here and can\'t get out.”
Nan Xiangwan: “Oh right.”
Gu Beihuai: “Director Hua said the plot needs it, he didn\'t really want you to go investigate that well.”
Nan Xiangwan pouted, with her mind still on that well.
Guan Liangzhe and Lan Tianyou sat hugging their knees together, neither of them speaking, they were really freaked out by the wall full of faces still staring at them.
Gu Beihuai\'s brainstorming started, and he drew a circle on the ground with his finger: “Why forty-eight people?”
Nan Xiangwan: “Plus Deng Si Nan and Zhu Sha forty-eight?”
Gu Beihuai: “Yes.”
Nan Xiangwan: “Then plus Lan Tianyou who\'s about to die, that\'s forty-nine?”
Gu Beihuai\'s eyes suddenly lit up, speaking firmly: “Right!”
Nan Xiangwan rested her chin in one hand: “Seven times seven forty-nine, what does that mean? The seventh day after death?”
Guan Liangzhe: “How did you think of the seventh day after death?”
Lan Tianyou: “Don\'t let Nan Xiangwan analyze this, the more she analyzes the more terrifying it gets.”
Gu Beihuai: “It\'s about time.”
Nan Xiangwan: “Huh?”
Gu Beihuai: “Seven days make one week, seven weeks make one cycle, this old house must be suppressing something, it needs the lives of forty-nine brides to worship it.”
After saying this, Gu Beihuai added: “I’m randomly guessing, believe in science.”
Everyone: “......”
Guan Liangzhe: “How am I such a player, marrying one a day?”
Gu Beihuai: “See if there\'s anything around here that records time.”
Guan Liangzhe: “Huh? What do you mean?”
Lan Tianyou suddenly clapped his hands: “Oh! I get it! What\'s the forty-ninth day in the ghost\'s time?”
Nan Xiangwan: “Oh I understand! Just like playing a game, the time in the game is different from real life. The forty-ninth day here is the time Lan Tianyou dies.”
Lan Tianyou: “Can you not make it sound so terrifying?”
Guan Liangzhe: “Did we not get married?”
Gu Beihuai: “It wasn’t the wedding night yet.”
Nan Xiangwan: “Case solved! The wedding night, midnight in game time, that’s when the last bride is about to die!”
With the layers of analysis here, Zhu Sha and Deng Si Nan were dumbfounded.
What\'s related to what?
Is figuring out the show this difficult?
The problem is how did you analyze it out?
Why can’t they understand it!
Lan Tianyou: “So I have to wait here to die?”
Guan Liangzhe: “I was wrong, I shouldn\'t have been a scumbag and gotten you killed little brother Lan cry cry cry!”
Gu Beihuai: “I found the final goal of this escape room, it’s to rescue the bride Lan Tianyou.”
Nan Xiangwan: “So as long as we make sure Lan Tianyou doesn\'t get killed by that evil spirit, we can get out of the game right?”
Gu Beihuai: “In principle, yes.”
Guan Liangzhe took action to take the initiative to protect Lan Tianyou behind him: “Little Lan I’ll protect you.”
Lan Tianyou: “Heh, if anything else happens later don\'t hide behind me.”
With the key point found, everyone began to take action in order to escape the room, all very motivated.
Zhu Sha and Deng Si Nan also joined in, completely forgetting that they were NPCs.
At this time, Nan Xiangwan walked to the wall, staring at those faces.
The faces: “......”
Just look, don\'t get so close okay?
They\'re scared of you!
Just then, Guan Liangzhe suddenly shouted and jumped up: “Ow! Ow! Ow ow ow!”
Lan Tianyou: “What happened? What happened?”
Guan Liangzhe: “The coffin moved again!”
Everyone suddenly looked over at the coffin, and didn\'t see it moving for the time being, but...
Gu Beihuai: “It did move, the angle is wrong.”
Guan Liangzhe: “Will something crawl out from underneath? Ah?”
Lan Tianyou pointed at Zhu Sha and Deng Si Nan: “Before they came crawling out from under the coffin!”
Nan Xiangwan: “So the exit is under the coffin?”
Deng Si Nan: “I don’t know!”
Zhu Sha: “90 degrees can open it, but it’s controlled mechanically, can’t be moved manually.”
Before she finished speaking, Nan Xiangwan was already going up to it.
Everyone clearly heard the sound of steel plates scraping under the coffin.
Lan Tianyou: “Nan Xiangwan stop quickly! Don\'t break it!”
Gu Beihuai: “This coffin is the clock’s hand.”
As soon as he said this, Nan Xiangwan’s movements suddenly stopped.
The others also looked over in surprise, and found that the coffin was slowly rotating clockwise, just like the hand of a clock.
Gu Beihuai went over to take a close look at the coffin, and as expected he saw something different.
He smiled: “There we go, this is the pointer, look here everyone.”
Everyone crowded over, heads together, and discovered there were the numbers 48 and 49 marked on the corner of the coffin, which was stuck in the middle.
That meant it was currently night time on the 48th day, about to reach the 49th day.
Gu Beihuai: “When the coffin’s pointer stands completely vertical, that’s the 49 day deadline.”
Lan Tianyou: “How much longer? Can I still survive?”
Nan Xiangwan: “Should we stop the coffin from rotating?”
Gu Beihuai: “Is there anything inside the coffin?”
Lan Tianyou: “A lock, one hundred of them, and a bunch of weird puzzles, when I first got in I was lying in the coffin and came out after unlocking them.”
Nan Xiangwan: “Then lie back down in there.”
Lan Tianyou: “???”
He didn\'t want to! He refused!
In the end, Gu Beihuai climbed into the coffin first and lay down.
The moment he lay down, the slowly rotating clockwise coffin suddenly stopped.
Immediately after, swish!
It started rotating counter-clockwise!
Zhu Sha got excited: “When it reaches 90 degrees counter-clockwise the mechanism will open to get out.”
Everyone cheered, and started watching the coffin expectantly.
Gu Beihuai began looking for clues inside the coffin, all four walls were filled top to bottom with writing, covering various fields.
No wonder Lan Tianyou didn\'t understand, apart from the encrypted text there was even astrophysics!
Gu Beihuai quickly scanned over these symbols and words, eventually coming to the conclusion: “I get it now, this house was hit by meteorites multiple times in the past, the meteorites contained radioactive material, causing the family members to constantly fall ill. The people of that era were superstitious, said it was bad fengshui, so the owner brought in 49 maidens to change their luck, leading to the series of tragic events with brides.”
