The Master of the Strange Realm

Meimi explained to her companion, and then stretched out the umbrella in her hand that was also dripping water on the carpet, "I can only answer."

She was unwilling to fall into the trap of the Mystery Lock, because it meant falling into the control of the Mystery Lock's owner. But the creature in front of them was obviously not something the two of them could fight against.

The tip of the umbrella slowly penetrated into the water, and the woman felt unexpected resistance. The soft-bodied creature seemed to hate being entered/bodyed by others.

The sharp head of the umbrella carved the number 24 on the ground.

The umbrella was immediately retracted, and the water stain slowly began to squirm. The umbrella leaning on the wall was swallowed whole, and then it got into the gap in the floor.

"That's it."

Mei Mi nodded to Jane, threw aside the umbrella in her hand, and took out the pistol from her waist.

"The deeper you go into the mystery, the closer you are to the location of the mystery's owner. From now on, we have to be careful. Since Miller has spent so much time setting up a trap, there will be no follow-up means. Her mystery is too difficult. "Low."

According to the structure of this house and preliminary investigation, the door on the left side of the foyer should belong to the landlord here. Going up the stairs, the room on the left is Miller's apartment.

Meimi stepped up the stairs first, and the stairs made an exaggerated creaking sound.

There seemed to be no living people in the entire apartment, and no sound could be heard even if the gifter's abilities were used. They climbed up the stairs nervously, and when they looked up at the corner, they saw a tall mirror blocking the way at the entrance to the second floor.

The edge of the mirror seems to be made of ordinary iron. This should be a fitting mirror that was moved from somewhere.

Already familiar with Miller's secret lock routine, the two quickly came to the mirror. In addition to reflecting the faces of the two people, the mirror also had an additional line of words:

1+3+5+7+9+11=

The two people in the mirror both have pocket watches hanging on their chests. This is something that does not exist in the real world. The hands of the pocket watch showed that the time was exactly one o'clock. When the women noticed this, the three hands began to move slowly in the counterclockwise direction.

Chapter 332 Chapter 327 Mysterious Lock (Part 2)

"Is it limited time?"

Jane said suspiciously, and then asked: "Meimi, since you have experienced the mystery lock, what should the real dangerous mystery lock be like?"

"You should know that Mystery Lock is not an ordinary spell ability, nor can it be used by chanting a spell. This requires long-term transformation of a fixed location, which not only consumes precious materials, but also requires a lot of time and patience. .

Three years ago I followed the chief priests..."

She stuck her finger into the mirror and wrote down the answer of 36. The mirror becomes illusory little by little until it disappears. Meimi has now determined that Miller's secret lock is not difficult. The real crisis is the sneak attack that may occur at any time, so she is not very concerned about the crack here.

"Follow the chief priest to search for the skull in the eastern county of Chesland. Unexpectedly, that place has been discovered long ago. Not only were the things taken away, but a mysterious lock was also placed based on the underground tomb. That time it was more like As we moved forward in the arena, we encountered various undead creatures, as well as ancient mechanisms that existed in the tomb. Oh, it was a nightmare, but fortunately the chief priest finally led us out."

The two walked up to the last step on the second floor. As expected, there was a note on the wooden door marked "Detective Miller". This time the title was a little more complicated:

There are several complete corpses in the room. Jane eats 16 corpses every hour. Mei Mi brings in 9 corpses. There are 91 corpses in the room. How long will it take for there to be no corpses in the room?

"Look, the structure of this apartment is very simple. In addition, Miller's cognition and soul are not strong enough. In the end, this is the only problem that stopped us in front of the door."

Meimi raised the corners of her mouth as she spoke: "Zhen, I think you can eat people much faster than this, right?"

"What did you say?"

Jane said angrily: "I only eat men."

The sharp tongue stuck out from the mouth and licked around the lipstick-covered lips.

Although this question was a bit complicated, it only took them ten minutes to fill in the number 13.

As expected, the door opened. Instead of entering rashly, they immediately threw two metal pieces inside. The shadows of the two people left their feet, wrapped in spells and entered for inspection, but no danger was found.

The fire in the room was burning fiercely. There were two armchairs and a round table on the carpet in front of the fireplace. The tea on the table was still emitting white smoke, as if it had just been poured out of the pot a second ago.

The window facing the door was wide open, and the wind and snow poured in from outside the room. Jane quickly walked forward to the window, only to see that in addition to the two people's footprints, there was a string of smaller footprints in the snow extending to the end of the road.

"Ran away?"

"Ignore it, she probably ran away knowing that her mystery lock couldn't stop us. Remember, our first goal is to confirm whether the detective has recovered those photos."

Jane nodded and closed the window again out of caution. The two quickly rummaged through the room and found nothing except a large amount of mathematical information.

They finally moved their gaze to the only sounding fireplace in the room, where the raging orange flames almost broke out of the confines of the fireplace. Only then could one vaguely see a red-burnt metal box next to the charcoal in the fire.

"It seems that this is the last lock of the mystery."

The woman snapped her fingers at the fireplace, and the flames were quickly suppressed, then surged out in a more violent manner, but could not touch the women.

Meimi stretched out her right hand, and the huge ruby ​​ring flashed with dazzling light. The flames were successfully resisted, but both women broke out in a cold sweat.

"I knew it wouldn't be that simple. It seems that Miller has obtained a special flame. Yes, don't let it touch you."

Meimi warned in a low voice, standing with Jane, squinting at the next change of the flames.

The surging flames rolled back, revealing the man standing in the fire. The flames licked his body, sprayed out from his pores and were sucked in, and even the flames could be seen shaking in his eyes.

"Spirit of Fire?"

Jane guessed, after all, except for this elemental alien, any other life should have been burned to ashes in such a fire.

"It should be like this, there will be various guardians in the puzzle, and if we can't solve the puzzle, they will launch a frontal attack on us."

As the two talked, the "Spirit of Fire" pointed to the ground. The sea of ​​fire there had receded, leaving only some flames forming a question:

From 1 to 100, what is the answer?

The two women looked at each other, thinking that the most difficult question on the door just now was the most difficult one, but they didn't expect that there would be more troublesome questions this time.

"She left such a question to delay our time. It's not difficult at all!"

Meimi made a judgment again, although the previous judgments had various flaws. But all signs show that this judgment will not be wrong.

"Our goal is the photo, but the box in the fireplace may not contain a photo. This may be Miller's trick. But in order to take out the puzzle lock, we have to unlock it."

She analyzed the current situation and nodded to her companion Jane.

The latter took a step back and knelt on one knee. Meimi clasped her fists in front of her chest, closed her eyes and meditated on the great existence:

"You are the master of shadows, the reflection of the mother of creation; you are..."

With a low prayer, the shadow on the ground began to crawl again. The light in the room suddenly dimmed a lot, and the "Spirit of Fire" raised his eyebrows, watching the shadow on the ground turn into the outline of a woman.

As the light became weaker and weaker, the light of the flame formed more shadows on the ground.

Like wild grass growing wildly, the swaying shadows formed chaotic patterns in the buzzing prayers. Jane, who was kneeling on one knee, felt dizzy after just one look.

She didn't have the honor to face the great inverted mother goddess, so she couldn't borrow the power of the inverted shadow like Mei Mi. She carefully glanced at the Spirit of Fire, who leaned on the fireplace with his hands folded on his chest and looked at the two of them, obviously not affected by this scene.

"It's really a powerful alien creature..."

She thought so and never dared to look up again.

In the dim room, the dancing shadows were squirming in front of the dim fireplace. A slight explosion sounded from all directions in the room, and Mei Mi opened her eyes suddenly.

All the visions disappeared, and she had directly obtained the answer through the existence of her own faith: 5050.

Chapter 333 Chapter 328 The Mystery Lock with a Strong Start but a Low End

"Look, the so-called mathematics may seem complicated, but it is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the higher beings."

Mei Mi turned around and helped her companion up. The two watched the flames in the fireplace gradually recede. The "Spirit of Fire" leaning on the fireplace stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

Only sporadic flames were still gathering on the charcoal, and the metal box had completely leaked out. The two did not reach out to take the box, but looked at the man who was watching the show on the side.

The disappearing flames now gathered around him, and in his open right hand, the flying butterflies made of flames were lifelike.

"Why haven't you disappeared yet?"

"Who knows?"

He answered so slowly, and then shrugged, "You continue, don't worry about me."

The two women looked at each other.

"It..."

Jane hesitated.

"It seems that opening the box is still part of the puzzle, and this alien will continue to serve as the guard of the next lock. Damn it, is this the only way for Miller to delay time?"

The two used the fire poker hanging on the wall to get the metal box out of the fire, and picked it up with their hands after it cooled down. Sure enough, the box was also locked. On the front of the metal lock was a spiral pattern that looked very strange. Looking at this pattern, Meimi and Jane always felt that they understood something, but they didn't understand anything.

A passage was engraved on the back in dense fonts:

The definition of prime number is that among natural numbers greater than 1, there are no other factors except 1 and itself. List all the numbers from 1 to 10000 in the polar coordinate system, and express the prime numbers in bold, and you can get a spiral diagram.

Please explain the law of prime number distribution based on the spiral diagram.

"What is this..."

The two women frowned and looked at the problem of the puzzle, although they knew every word and read it smoothly. But after reading it once, I couldn't remember what I had read at all, nor did I understand the meaning of this passage.

"Did she set a trap on the lock to make it impossible for us to understand this sentence?"

Jane asked.

"I... don't know."

Mei Mi frowned. Although neither of them was a so-called mathematician, the gifter had to know mathematics. The words on the lock looked very complicated, but when read carefully with the spiral diagram in front, it was unexpectedly shocking.

For a moment, Mei Mi felt that she had touched the essence of the world. Behind the spiral diagram was a huge law of regularity. And all she lacked was to summarize this law.

The more she thought, the more restless her spirit became. The inexplicable sense of urgency made her desperately immerse her thoughts in the pattern, eager to embrace the ideas of the world, and make her mind think at a faster speed.

"Puff~"

She spit out a mouthful of blood, covered her mouth, stepped back a few steps, and dropped the box on the ground.

"Spirit of Fire", well, Jenkins showed an unexpected expression. The original plan was just to hinder these two people for a while, but I didn't expect a simple Ulam spiral diagram to have such an effect.

"Mei Mi!"

"Damn it, Miller must have cursed this picture!"

The woman cursed shrilly, "The puzzle is not that simple, kneel down and pray, I will ask for help from the great upside-down shadow again!"

Just like before, the light in the room was absorbed by the unknown existence, and countless shadows overflowed from the cracks in the floor, swaying like dancing venomous snakes.

A dense whisper came from the shadow world, and the hissing sound made Jane, who was kneeling on one knee, tingle.

The vision only lasted for a while and then ended, but Mei Mi didn't speak for a long time.

At first, Jane thought Mei Mi was digesting the answer, but she was silent for too long.

Since the existence in the shadow had retreated back to the shadow world, she stood up boldly.

"Mei Mi~"

She called softly, but her companion still didn't respond. Jane's heart sank immediately. She looked at her companion's motionless back and reached out to push gently.

The body fell to the ground, the left arm twitched, and the twisted face with blood flowing from all seven orifices was extremely strange under the firelight. The pair of enchanting eyes were wide open, as if seeing something incredible.

Jane's first reaction was not to kneel down and cry, but to jump to the left and escape from the window.

A woman's hand wearing a black velvet glove suddenly emerged from the air, and pressed hard on the back of her neck. The woman collapsed on the ground, her body slid forward two inches due to inertia, and her skull hit the wall hard, making a dull sound.

"It feels a bit like a tiger's head and a snake's tail."

Jenkins said regretfully.

"Tiger's head and snake's tail? This metaphor is really interesting~"

Miss Miller took off the invisible cloak, threw a rope to Jenkins, and asked him to tie up the witch on the ground. This kind of physical work, of course, cannot be done by a beautiful lady of smaller stature.

"She died just halfway through the plan."

Jenkins kicked the body on the ground, then squatted down to tie her up: "How did she die? I was really scared at the time."

"Your question about prime numbers may be too strange."

Miss Miller said as she walked to the bookcase and casually pulled out a thick book with red and black patterns. After tearing off the cover, it was a proof question about number series.

She casually wrote the answer on it, and on both sides of the street that the two could not see, the white mist slowly dissipated. The scene in the room changed subtly. The items that had been turned over by the woman returned to their original positions, and the normal flame in the fireplace burned.

The landlady came in with a teapot and took a curious look at the woman tied by the two, but did not ask anything.

Jenkins and Miss Miller's original plan was to use the puzzle lock to trap the two gifters from the witch's house, and then break them one by one in a planned way.

Although the two women searched the apartment, in fact, they did not find any of the hidden traps here. Mazes that rely on terrain are certainly powerful, but Miss Miller's mazes are more than just mathematical traps.
