Chapter 240 Brothers (3)

After pushing the button down, the candle is pushed into the hollow stick by the catapult’s impulse. In that instant, a hissing sound was heard from inside the iron bar, followed by a jingle and the key fell out of the stick.

Feng Bujue took the anti-gravity gun and he looked again from the hole, he found that the iron bar had been blocked in the middle, and no light could be seen through due to the candle which got stuck in the position where the key had been.

He bent down to pick up the key from the floor, opened the menu, and looked at the description:

[Name: No. 0 Cell Key]

[Type: Plot related]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Function: Disappear immediately after use, the door of No. 0 cell can be opened or closed freely.

[Whether can be taken out of the script: No]

[Note: Why isn’t this item classified as a consumable item? I think you know the answer.]

“The notes nowadays are really getting more and more aggressive you know.” Feng Bujue looked at the key, “The player know’s so there’s no need for writing it out, huh? Will there be a note in the future that says, ‘you know’, and let me figure it out by myself?'”

Feng Bujue walked to the door, roasting. He stuck the key in the lock and turned clockwise. With a click, the lock was opened, and the iron door slid naturally into the cell.

Feng Bujue looked back at the room again to see if there was anything else he could use. Finally, his eyes stayed on the hollow stick. Although the device should revert to its old, rusty appearance after 15 minutes of skill, there’s still some evidence that even in that state it is still as hard as his pipe wrench. So, Feng Bujue decided to take the hollow iron bar blocked by the candle.

[Name: Hollow Iron Bar]

[Type: Weapon]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Attack ability: Weak]

[Attribute: None]

[Special effect: None]

[Note: An iron bar removed from the bed frame.]

When he viewed from the game menu, there’s a limit box on the item. If people stay on it for a few seconds, a text box will be displayed, which says: [The item is under the effect of skill and the quality will change when the time limit arrives.]

“Well… Very thoughtful indeed.” Feng Bujue took a look, understood the meaning of this hint naturally.

In a game like Thriller Paradise, there must be more than one skill that can change the properties of an item or even the quality. In order to prevent someone from using these skills for fraud, that they temporarily change the item and then sell it, the system carefully sets a reminder on the item that will change.

“The iron bar, two meters long, can certainly be used in some places, such as lifting things, pole vault…” Feng Bujue said to himself: “Even if I have no place to use it, it could still be a weapon.” That’s true, but we all know that the other reason this guy took this stick is because he wants to play like a certain monkey.

Feng Bujue walked out of the prison cell and when he passed through the door, the system prompt rang: [The current quest is finished and the main quest is updated]

The [escape room] in the taskbar was given a checkmark, and the next task brushed out: [Explore the underground 2F, open the door to the upper level]

“So, this is the second-floor underground.” Feng Bujue muttered: “Hey… It’s hard enough just to get out of this starting room…… Now I have to break through a whole layer, then the amount of puzzle’s…” There was a smile of excitement appearing on his face. “It’s definitely enough to drive people crazy!!”

Both the tone of his voice and the expression on his face showed that this freak was happy, but what he said meant something else……

After leaving the prison cell, Feng Bujue played with the stick and walked along the corridor, shouting “Ho~ho~”. He was as good as a silly child at spring outing and had no sense of tension.

There were no doors on either side of the corridor, and the corridor was empty except for the lighting above. Of course, Feng Bujue knew this when he looked out of the room.

After a distance of about fifty meters, he saw the doors of the other cells.

There are six cells in this area, three on each side, and the numbers were painted on the iron gate, which is not found in cell zero. Between the doors of cells two and four, there was a plastic bin with a height of one meter or less, the top-opening style. Feng Bujue didn’t know if there is something inside, but at least there’s no strange stench coming out of the trash can.

Looking forward again, he saw the stairs not far away.

Feng Bujue was no hurry to try to open the doors or look into the room through the bars. When he saw the door, he stopped playing with the meaningless stick dance and leaned the iron bar over his hand, tiptoeing close without touching the doors. As he approached the doors, he stooped and walked quickly through them.

What’s in the cells is difficult to determine. Looking in through the bars, or being seen by people or things in the house might trigger some strange FLAGs, so he decided to go through it quietly and see what was going on, on the stairs.

He made his way through the six doors, reached the foot of the steps and walked up the stone steps. After a turn, Feng Bujue found a classic black iron gate. He could see straight up to the corridor through the fence: The underground 1F is pretty much the same as the lower level, but the stairway from the underground 1F to the ground 1F should be on the other end, above cell zero.

Feng Bujue came forward to pull the iron fence to make sure they were stable. Then he had a plan and took out the [Endless Grenade Box] from his bag.

This type of item is a “tool”, but unlike the flashlight, the box is made for consumables, not consumables itself, so it is not banned by the system.

Feng Bujue tried to stick the grenade to the lock to see if it can blow up the lock. As a result, he found that the grenade could not be removed from the box…

“The grenade box works, but the products don’t……” he muttered.

He correctly guessed that, although the grenade box is not banned, the products themselves are “consumables” that are bound by the system and could not be retrieved.

“Well…” He shrugged and left the door.

He didn’t expect much from this violent breakthrough… He also considered using a grenade when he was at a loss in cell zero, but quickly dismissed the idea. If he uses a Mark II grenade in that tight space, his 26% survival value couldn’t help him at all……

“Well then, the way to open this door and enter the underground 1F is in these six cells.” Said Feng Bujue, looking down the steps again at the puzzle area in front of him.

He came to the wall and laid down the bars lightly. Then, he held his hand above the head as if he was warming up for some kind of physical activity.

“Where shall I start…” He said as he reached the door of prison six. He approached cautiously and moved his face to the window.

The light in the corridor basically illuminated the environment of the house, and the layout in the prison cell was basically the same as that in the No. 0 cell. Bed, plastic bucket, all the same. But Feng Bujue can’t be sure about the small wooden ark, because that corner is located at the side of the door.

“Well… No one here…” Feng Bujue did not notice anyone in the room. He tried to open the door but it didn’t work.

Then he looked in through the bars of five, four, three, two, and one in that order and found the same result’s.

Feng Bujue went to the trash can, took out his folding stool and sat down, ready to do a detailed examination on the trash can.

The garment of Feng Bujue are including the attach glove, the dress for the body and face which are the same, that can be shown according to need. From the very beginning of the play, he had equipped them.

There are bandages with blood, plastic plates stained with food, plastic plates stained with shit… Apparently, after the prisoners had eaten, they developed another use for the plate.

Feng Bujue still wanted to find something with his hand originally, but after he sat down and looked……. Nah… I’ll just pour it out.

He put the iron bar and dumped the trash on the ground. Then he settled himself on the folding stool, leaned the bar on his shoulder, and began to poke and rummage through the garbage on the ground with the stick facing down. After all, it’ wasn’t his own equipment, it wouldn’t matter if it got dirty.

Feng Bujue rummaged and pondered: “Strange… There is a smell in every dunghill in every room, and judging by the smell on these plastic plates, it didn’t take long…” he paused, and said, “Were they taken away at the same time, not long ago?”

After digging around for a while, Feng Bujue found only dirty bandages and plastic plates. When he poured everything out, he found that the mixture and liquid in this trash can are not that much, so it didn’t have much flavour, but it still looked disgusting.

Just as he was about to move his attention, he saw something special. At least in this trash can, this item was unique.

[Name: Carved dentures]

[Type: Plot related]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Function: Unknown]

[Is it possible to bring out the scenario: Yes]

[Note: Some information is engraved on the inside of the dentures.]

Then he turned it over, picked a clean bandage, scrubbed it and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, he saw a clue to the puzzle.
