Chapter 103: Chapter 103 Break the Game! (4/5)_1 [What will you do now? Planning to use the Teleportation Talisman to escape?] [Don’t rush. I’m just trapped for now. There must be a solution to this strange situation. However, I estimate that finding the solution will likely be up to you. Perhaps the solution is on the formation pattern.] [On the formation pattern?] To rescue Chen Mo quickly, Yan Yingyue knelt before the formation pattern, ignoring the dirt on the ground. She leaned down to closely observe the changes in the formation pattern. [Chen Mo, try moving forward slowly. Currently, the formation pattern shows no abnormalities from top to bottom. I’ll see if there are any changes as you advance.] [OK.] Soon, the small point of light representing Chen Mo on the spiral array pattern began to move slowly. Initially, Yan Yingyue did not notice any anomalies. However, after the small point of light moved forward several grids, Yan Yingyue suddenly noticed something different. [Chen Mo, wait. Take two steps back.] [Back?] Chen Mo was curious, but he took two steps back. [Here?] [Yes, stay still for now.] Three seconds later, Yan Yingyue suddenly replied, [Is there a wall on your right?] [Yes, it looks pretty solid.] [Then try to reach out and push it.] [Push it?] Chen Mo immediately tried reaching out with his hands. As his hands pressed into the wall, he passed right through it and entered another passage. [I’ve entered a new place, but it seems like the surroundings haven’t changed much.] [Hmm, I see. When you entered the new space, the pattern on the stone here also changed; it turned into another spiral pattern.] [Another spiral pattern. This formation pattern is truly bizarre. What kind of good reward could be waiting?] The stranger the events caused by the formation pattern, the more excited Chen Mo became. Because the harder a puzzle is, the better the reward after cracking it. [Keep moving slowly like you did before.] [OK.] This time, Chen Mo proactively extended his hand, touching the wall as he moved forward. After a good while, Yan Yingyue suddenly called out for him to stop. [Go back one step. The wall on your right-hand side.] Chen Mo did as instructed, pressing his hand against the wall. Once again, he entered a brand-new passage. Apart from the different colors, these passages were otherwise identical. Having done this dozens of times, Chen Mo had grown weary of changing passages. He immediately replied, [It seems not every wall is meant to be entered. I’ve noticed after changing passages dozens of times, all these passages have only four colors in total: red, yellow, blue, and black. I’m afraid there’s a specific order to them.] [Then walk through the whole passage again. I’ll observe carefully.] As Chen Mo once again walked the current spiral passage from one end to the other, Yan Yingyue realized that there were indeed three positions where the wall also glowed faintly when the small point of light approached. This meant that when you were in one passage, you had to correctly choose one of three adjacent passages to break the puzzle. She immediately relayed the situation to Chen Mo. [Look around and see if there’s anything nearby with those four colors—red, yellow, blue, and black—that might follow a pattern,] Chen Mo replied after thinking for a moment. Yan Yingyue immediately turned and looked. She indeed spotted four things of different colors. These four items were four lotus flowers floating in the center of the lake. The lotus flowers weren’t large, and she hadn’t paid them any mind before. But now she saw that the four lotus flowers were continuously drifting back and forth between the shore and the small island in the center of the lake in a peculiar cyclical path. She noted the order in which the four colored flowers touched the small island, then asked Chen Mo to enter a space at random and report the color of the passage. [This time it’s a blue passage.] [After the black lotus comes the red lotus. It seems you entered the wrong passage this time. But at least we now know that the uppermost trigger point in the black passage leads to a blue space.] Although there was no clever way to obtain information at the moment, this kind of painstaking method could gather all the necessary information. Yan Yingyue quickly used a branch to sketch a complete diagram nearby. It showed which color passage each of the three trigger points in the four colored passages led to. After this tabulation, and combining it with the sequence of the lotus flowers on the lake’s surface, she finally figured out a complete cycle. [Chen Mo, follow my instructions next. I believe we should be able to solve the puzzle then.] [Tell me.] [In this yellow passage, continue forward, skip the first trigger point, and enter the second. Then you will be in the blue space.] Following Yan Yingyue’s directions, Chen Mo indeed entered a blue passage. [The lowermost trigger point in the blue passage leads to the black space. You need to keep heading down. Stop only when I tell you to.] Soon, Chen Mo arrived at the position where he was supposed to stop. As he stepped into the trigger point, he arrived inside a black passage. [I’ve entered a black passage.] [That should be it then. Red, yellow, blue, and black form a cycle. Next, you just need to enter the first trigger point to get into the red passage.] With Yan Yingyue’s commands, Chen Mo successfully entered a red passage. [The middle trigger point in the red passage leads to the yellow passage, but I think this time it won’t lead to any passage at all!] Following Yan Yingyue’s directions all the way, Chen Mo finally reached the middle of the red passage. [I hope there isn’t another passage. I’m about to puke from all this walking.] As Chen Mo’s entire body passed through the wall, just as Yan Yingyue had said, this time he truly didn’t get caught in the strange passage loop again. He had actually entered an empty room. [Another puzzle? What kind of reward have they prepared for this to be so troublesome!] Chen Mo couldn’t help but grumble. [Let me see. The pattern here has indeed changed. It’s a quadrilateral now, and the four corners of the pattern each have the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4. I’m not sure if you’ll need to step on them.] [Don’t tell me we have to guess a password this time. Yingyue, look around and see if there’s anything arranged in that kind of numerical sequence.] Even though Chen Mo was not outside, he was gradually getting the hang of the game’s rules. Yan Yingyue turned and looked around. She searched everything nearby but found nothing arranged in quantities of one, two, three, or four. [Strange, there’s nothing.] [Some puzzles build on previous ones. See if those four lotus flowers have any information related to one, two, three, and four.] Upon hearing this, Yan Yingyue immediately gave the four lotus flowers a careful examination. The petals of all four lotus flowers were normal and intact. "Wait a minute!" She suddenly thought of something and immediately rushed to the riverbank. The lotus flowers were drifting back and forth between the riverbank and the small island in the middle of the river, which clearly had some significance. By observing the lotus flowers that drifted back to the shore, she discovered there were indeed changes related to the numbers one, two, three, and four. In the lotus receptacles at the center of the four flowers, there were one, two, three, and four lotus seeds, respectively.
