Cheng Yiâs complexion looked terrible. She suddenly received everyoneâs angry and condemning stares and couldnât say a word.
Chen Yu understood. He relied too much on the clues themselves, making it difficult to break free from fixed thinking and unnecessarily complicated things. On the other hand, He Jing could see through the essence by looking beyond appearances, effortlessly grasping the clues. This was the difference between them!
There was no need to ask anymore.
He Jing, being so intelligent, would naturally decrypt the password faster than him.
However, he couldnât control himself and continued to ask, âHow did you get the second and third digits of the password?â
He Jing glanced at Yan Hanxi, who smiled and said, âThe second digit is deduced based on the first digit because there is a formula in this story. When General Saul left his planet, the roses hadnât blossomed yet. When he returned, the roses covered the entire palace. The blooming period of roses is from April to September. So, when General Saul left, indicating the roses hadnât bloomed, it meant it was before April, which is one of the digits in 123.â
â123 corresponds to Ace, 2, and 3. Unfortunately, I was lucky enough to get one.â
It was the one he had taken the moment he stepped into the secret room.
Ace of Spades.
Therefore, the password for the second digit was A.
âYes, thatâs right.â
Chen Yu said dejectedly.
He also solved the second digit of the password within three minutes.
âThe third digit of the password has another formula, which is how long it took General Saul to conquer his homeland. The answer is 2.â Yan Hanxi said unhurriedly, âGeneral Saul only took two hours to conquer his original planet.â
âWhat about the fourth digit?â Chen Yu immediately pursued, âHow did you find the clue for the fourth digit?â
Other than the first digit of the password, he had taken a detour. He had solved the second and third digits in the fastest time possible, but he couldnât find any clues about the fourth digit. How did they find it?
He Jing said lightly, âThe fourth digit has nothing to do with General Saul. Do you still remember the purpose of this preliminary mission we were doing?â
In an instant, Chen Yuâs pupils shrank. He suddenly recalled this matter that he had forgotten.
They had come to this room to make guesses about the big boss behind the big secret room.
Since the purpose was clear, this room couldnât be unrelated to the big boss behind the scenes.
He Jing walked over to Yan Hanxi and took something out of his hand. Upon closer inspection, it was a Rubikâs cube.
âThis was found under a table. Itâs the only thing in the room that can be used to solve the puzzle.â
So, they were hiding in that corner fiddling with something because they had been restoring the Rubikâs Cube?
âThe final answer is 9.â He Jing said, âReturen all six sides of the Rubikâs Cube to their original positions. All sides of the Rubikâs cube have the number 9.â
Therefore, the correct password for this display case was 3129.
Chen Yu completely admitted defeat. He admitted that his thinking was not as agile as He Jingâs, and his knowledge was not as broad as Yan Hanxiâs. He Jing was like a detective who calmly hunted down the murderer, and Yan Hanxi was her best assistant.
Chen Yu glanced at Cheng Yi and suddenly couldnât help but feel immensely disappointed in Cheng Yi. If Cheng Yi had half the skill of Yan Hanxi or He Jing, he would have had a chance to win.
Unfortunately, it was useless to say anything now..
