Jiang Lai frowned and took out the Plundering Fork directly, wanting to use the strength and weight of the weapon to forcefully break down the door.

She didn't care whether Chi Qiuping, who was locked in Room 405, could hear her or not. She shouted at her through the door: "Qiuping, move aside a little. I'm going to start banging on the door!"

After saying that, she swung the plundering fork in her hand and smashed it heavily towards the door!

Just as the plundering fork in her hand was about to fall on the door, she suddenly stopped, and trembled all over as if she suddenly felt something.

She suddenly realized that since just now, Chi Qiuping seemed to have greased her feet and slid along the inclined slope inside the villa very smoothly, and entered Room 405 with the door wide open. The door closed tightly again as the villa tilted, and in the next few seconds after that, she herself was actually... in an abnormal state!

The eagerness to rescue Chi Qiuping from Room 405 instantly overwhelmed her, causing her to lose control and want to smash the door...

Just as the plundering fork in her hand was about to fall on the door panel, she suddenly trembled all over, quickly regained her composure, and then woke up and realized her abnormal state just now.

"The negative state you extracted is the red area, mania (prone to anger). Description: When you arrive at the red area of ​​the Curio Mansion, the negative state will automatically activate. When you leave the corresponding area, the negative state will automatically cancel."

These were the original words the system said when she extracted the red mania.

But who can be sure that the area that can activate the player's negative state must be the inside of a certain room?

If the corridor she was currently in happened to be a red zone, she would have been caught without knowing it. In this way, it was not difficult to explain her sudden anxiety and her abnormal lack of calmness in wanting to rescue Chi Qiuping from Room 405.

After calming down again, Jiang Lai began to actively think about countermeasures.

What should she do to open the door of Room 405 as quickly as possible and rescue Chi Qiuping?

The next second she immediately thought that in order to open the door, she must get the key.

After coming up with this idea, she immediately thought of one of the side quests of this copy, which required players to collect a large number of various keys.

She lowered her head to check the door and found a small keyhole in the center of the old-fashioned doorknob that could be turned.

Tsk, she was now almost certain that her current location was undoubtedly the red zone.

Because she was too anxious just now, she even selectively ignored the keyhole.

But the next moment, she began to become confused again.

Although she had found a solution to the problem, where could she find the key to open the door?

It was at this time that Xiao Ai began to play a role.

"Xiao Lai, take a close look at the wooden railings in the corridor opposite the door. You will definitely find something unusual."

Jiang Lai could sense that Xiao Ai was greatly restricted in this copy.

His reminder of this had already helped Jiang Lai a lot.

Jiang Lai frowned and began to search carefully on the railing opposite the door as Xiao Ai said.

Soon, she discovered that there was an area of ​​about 20 centimeters on that short section of the railing that could be opened.

There are exquisite floral carvings above that area.

The center of one of the flowers looks like it has been carved a little protruding.

Jiang Lai stretched out his gloved hand and pressed it, and found that there was indeed a mechanism there.

After she pressed the mechanism, a secret compartment on the wooden railing opened, and she took out a small box as big as half of her palm.

From the feel and weight of the box, she could easily tell that the box was hollow.

Not only that, when she gently shook the box, she heard a collision sound coming from inside.

Who knows, what's inside the box may be the key she's looking for!

After thinking of this possibility, Jiang Lai's heart began to become excited and impatient again.

This also made her more certain that the area she was in was most likely the red area that could trigger her negative state.

She frowned slightly, took out a bottle of iced oolong tea from the prop bar and took two sips, suppressing the restlessness in her heart, and patiently began to observe the box in her hand.

At first glance, the wooden box gives people a feeling of simple structure.

It consists of two pieces of solid wood, the upper and lower parts are actually a very regular and tight mortise and tenon structure.

"Tsk, Luban Box?"

Jiang Lai didn't even ask Xiao Ai for any hints. He figured out the trick of the wooden box at a glance.

This Luban box made of two pieces of wood cannot be opened by pulling it up and down. Sliding it left and right is also useless.

Moreover, the box looks like a whole piece, without any mechanism.

As shown in the picture, the Luban box looks like this

Jiang Lai smiled gently, turned the bottom of the box upwards, stretched out his slender white fingers, pinched the two opposite corners of the box, tapped the lid twice with his palms, slid the bottom piece of the box gently upwards, and easily opened the box.

The moment the box was opened, the circular area in the middle of the box was revealed, and there was indeed a small, red key inside.

Jiang Lai casually put away the key, studied the box carefully, and the smile on his face became more obvious.

Tsk, it is indeed the classic dovetail joint.

Jiang Lai successfully opened the Luban box and got a red key.

She put the key away, and even did not let go of the Lu Ban box in her palm.

Such exquisitely crafted gadgets are rare even today when science and technology are highly developed.

She simply put the Luban box into a black garbage bag and placed it in the prop column.

Jiang Lai discovered that after she got the red key, her negative state seemed to have been automatically lifted, and she felt very relaxed.

She immediately walked to the door of Room 405 and opened it with her key.

The moment the door was opened, the red key disappeared, but she did not return to her previous negative state.

After the door opened, Jiang Lai did not see Chi Qiuping's figure directly, but saw a mysterious area that was much larger than Room 405.

Moreover, she could tell at a glance...
