Chapter 205: Ancient God Dream leads to all kinds of schemes, Liu Baibai shows his ability to fight against the enemy

1408 The atmosphere in the strange room was very solemn. Milly Tang slowly walked towards the stone slab and seemed to be ready to take action.

So was it Millie Tang or the little genius siblings who suddenly remembered Nodans's reminder? No.

If Millitan had prepared in advance, it would indeed be possible for her to take some protective measures to block out the interference of the gods in 1408 in advance. Unfortunately, she didn't. After all, old Nothens was just a projection, and it was the "Eye of Light and Darkness" that could restrain the sleeping gods.

Therefore, he did not dare to give the hint clearly. As long as he said it, the god hiding in the gray-green stone coffin would surely wake up. At that time, not only would he not be able to restrict the god's control over the dream, but it would lead to a greater disaster.

As the saying goes, it is easier to plan than to plan. Even though Millie Tang is a witch, it is no surprise that she is drawn into dreams and her related memories are obscured.

And who was the one who came up with the clue beside the stone tablet? Liu Yonglu.

"Mi Li'er, well, why don't you try...

To the south of Foshimen..., on the sunny side... there is a stone slab... which slopes to the west!
It’s not necessarily guaranteed…”

Looking up at the raging waves in the sky, Liu Yonglu was not very sure. To be honest, he was less than 30% sure.

When they saw the stone pillars around them and the stone tablet in front of them just now, everyone had an inexplicable feeling, as if the clue existed in their minds, but was mysteriously obscured by something, preventing them from seeing the truth.

Millie Tang also couldn't remember, and she tried several forbidden spells but to no avail. But she could basically conclude that this was the work of Room 1408.

At this point, you can't touch the slate until you wipe the fog off the glass and see the instructions below.

But...if that's the case, it's the same as being exhausted to death by the other party.

Millie Tang sat on the ground, writing and drawing in a small notebook. She didn't expect those people to come up with any good ideas in this situation, but she didn't expect Liu Yonglu to speak first.

So, he had a way to resist the interference of the gods behind 1408 and force himself to remember those words?

Of course not. Liu Yonglu doesn't have that ability. In fact, he said the sentence "South of Beiluoshimen, the stone slabs are slanting westward in the sunny place" in reverse.

Yes, Liu Yonglu deduced it in reverse using the method of pairs.

When he entered the investigation department before, old Nodance and a few others vaguely mentioned the clue of turning the stone slab, and also left a note. The words on the note were passed around to all four of Shi Weitian.

At that time, Liu Yonglu found it very interesting. East, west, south, north, which direction should the stone slab fly to?

He had a bad habit since he was young, he loved to make couplets. When he was a child, he listened to the crosstalk "Jie Xue Shi" and found that Xie Jin loved to make couplets. This left an inherent impression on the young Liu Yonglu that if this person is smart, he must be able to make couplets.

So he was correct both during the day and at night. At that time, there was a small column in the Evening News that was about making couplets. During Chinese class, other children would recite the text and practice making sentences, but Liu Yonglu was the only one who practiced making couplets.

After doing this for many years, he thought he was as talented and well-read as Xie Jin and Liu Yong. However, he failed the Chinese exam at the end of the semester because he had spent all his brain working on making couplets.

Later, because of this incident, the Chinese teacher invited Liu Yonglu's mother to the school and said that there was nothing else in your child's Chinese textbook but couplets.

From then on, he developed the habit of composing couplets. When he grew up, went to college and worked, if he saw something interesting, others would just listen and laugh and move on, but Liu Yonglu had to come up with the second half of the couplet. After he finished, he would think about it after a few days to see if it was neat and whether there was any trick in the first half that he had missed.

So before entering 1408, he treated old Nodans' hint as a pair.

The first couplet is "South of Beiluoshimen, the sunny side of the stone slab is slanting westward"

The second line of his couplet was "The stars in front of the South Gate are biased to the north, and the wooden bridge by the water leans to the east." After he finished the couplet and entered Room 1408, he kept mumbling to himself. Others didn't know what he was mumbling, but he was actually reciting his second line of couplet secretly.

But as he was reciting it, he discovered a problem: he had forgotten the first couplet!
Hey, Liu Yonglu felt awkward. What was going on when there was a second couplet but no first couplet? So in the second half of the poem, he tried to infer the first couplet from the second couplet in his mind!

Fomalhaut was a star he had learned about in the science class, so he naturally knew it. In front of Nanmen Star, he faced Fomalhaut; in the north, he faced the south; near the water, he faced the sunny place; the wooden bridge leaning to the east, he faced the stone slab leaning to the west.

After finishing, I was very satisfied with myself, shaking my head and secretly praising myself: "Although it is not right, it is not far off."

The gods can block all clues, but that requires him to understand. Even if you tattoo the words "South of Luoshimen, the sunny stone slab is slanting west" on your body, or cut them into countless small pieces of paper and hide them on your body, you cannot escape his pull.

But Liu Yonglu's mind was filled with the words "The South Gate Star is to the north, and the wooden bridge leans eastward by the water." How could the god know what it was, so he naturally left it to Liu Yonglu.

I didn't expect this guy loves couplets so much. He even worked his way back from the second line.

After listening to Liu Yonglu, Mili Tang checked the stone pillar. Yes, there was Bei Luo Shimen. She also walked around the stone tablet twice. According to the direction Liu Yonglu said, it was exactly right.

But... should I believe this guy?
If it was someone else, Millie Tang would never believe it. She is a conceited person. How can you see it when she can't even see it herself? That's impossible. It must be wrong.

But Liu Yonglu was an exception. The two of them had faced countless life-and-death crises and had developed an inexplicable trust in each other.

Millie Tang stood in front of the stone tablet and pondered for a while. She was not thinking about whether the clue given by Liu Yonglu was right or wrong, but was considering whether there was any other way to get out of 1408 if she didn't solve the puzzle of the stone tablet.

The answer is no. Mr. Shani has an advantage over the others in escaping because of his special physique. This man is trapped at 1408 and cannot escape, so what can the others do?

Thinking of this, Millie Tang took a deep breath and nodded to the fat man, meaning we are ready.

The fat Shani turned his head and glanced at his father. He was quite proud of himself, and his neck was stiff, showing that he didn't care at all. You can question me about other things, but when it comes to couplets, this is a skill that we must excel in.

"Dad, how about we hide behind the wall?"

The fat man pointed behind him. He also realized that although his father pretended to be very tough, his tone just now did not sound very sure.

"No, hiding is the right thing to do! I'm standing right here, not moving an inch."

Liu Yonglu also knew that if he placed the stone slab incorrectly, he would not be safe no matter where he hid. Besides, he could not leave Mi Li'er here alone to take risks. If they died, they would die together. There would be no point in dying later.

Millie Tanglin approached the stone slab, looked back at Liu Yonglu, then put on her gloves and gently stroked the rough carved patterns on it.

No one knew what the base under the stone slab was made of. Milly Tang pushed it to the left according to her own wishes. Without much force, a "squeaking" sound was heard from under the stone slab.

With Millie Tang's manipulation, the stone slab was finally aimed at a stone pillar far to the north, and then a deafening and sharp roar erupted from the depths of the raging waves above!

Hey, have you guessed what the bottom line is today? I don’t think you can, but there have been many foreshadowings before.

In addition, there are many coc allusions in the last two chapters. You are welcome to comment and annotate. You can write about this, but I can’t. If I write it, it won’t have that flavor.
