Escape From the Library

【Endless Stairway-04】

Yue Xingwen finally understood why this course is a credit sharing model, the fewer people there are, the easier it is to pass.

Assuming that all 11 of them come to the maze, the width of the stairs is limited, 3~4 people can be squeezed in a row at most, and 11 people will be divided into 3 rows. When the stairs suddenly break, the team will be broken up and fall into other floors. space.

The connecting organs of different floors are hidden, and they must be cut off to trigger the floor. Without the excavator of the construction department and the plate displacement skills of the geography department, then the teammates who fell will not be able to get up, and the teammates of the construction department have to go. Collision.

The course requires them to leave the building within 1 hour, and all team members must leave to pass the test.Once the students of the Department of Architecture are busy looking for the lost teammates in the maze, one hour is far from enough.

The fewer people there are, the harder it is to be distracted by a broken staircase.

Thinking of this, Yue Xingwen immediately looked at Lin Manluo and said, "Senior Sister, do you have a time limit for this vine?"

Lin Manluo replied: "Each summon survives for 10 minutes. Currently, at Level 5, a maximum of five 20-meter-long green vines can be summoned."

Yue Xingwen thought for a few seconds, and said: "In this way, senior sister, you summon a vine, and everyone grasps the vine with their left hands. If the stairs suddenly breaks and someone accidentally falls, other students can use the vine to pull him Come up."

Lin Manluo's eyes lit up: "Good idea! In this way, everyone will be connected together, and it will not be easy to be separated."

Jiang Pingce also praised: "There is no need to go back and look for those who are left behind, which can save a lot of time."

Yue Xingwen said: "Senior Sister, it's best to let the vines wrap around everyone's wrists, so as not to slip and catch them."

Zhuo Feng suggested: "You tie the front end around my waist, I have great strength, and I will go to the front when the time comes."

Lin Manluo nodded, raised her right hand, and immediately summoned a green vine about 20 meters long and the thickness of a baby's arm. The leaves on the vine were verdant and verdant. Under her control, the vine was as flexible as a snake with eyes. The ground wrapped around Zhuo Feng's waist, then around Jiang Pingce's wrist, and then around Yue Xingwen's left wrist...

The students stood in line, and the vine wrapped around everyone's wrists before finally tying it around Lin Manluo's waist.

The 20-meter-long vine is enough to connect all seven of them.

Ke Shaobin adjusted his glasses and commented: "Strung together like this, they look like seven gourd babies."

Everyone: "..."

Yue Xingwen and Ke Shaobin used to have a cooperative relationship in the work of the student union, but this time they formed a team together and discovered that Xiao Ke's head does always have weird ideas.

Jiang Pingce automatically ignored his joke and said, "Keep going."

There are vines tied to it, and if you want to drop it, everyone will drop it at the same time. Everyone feels a lot more at ease.

Zhuo Feng burned a "4-1" mark on the stairs in front of him.After walking through four flights of stairs in a row, everyone returned to the place where the stairs broke just now. Zhang Xiaonian measured the distance and said, "The distance from the roof is 22.5 meters, and we are still on the fourth floor."

Yue Xingwen looked at Jiang Pingce and said, "Same rule?"

Jiang Pingce shook his head: "The position of the organ should be different. I will use the coordinate system to fly everyone there first, and Xiaonian will dig out the connection of the stairs to have a look."

Qin Lu's plate movement can only be used 6 times. Jiang Pingce directly used the coordinate system to let everyone fly to the opposite stairs. Zhang Xiaonian tried to dig out the connection points of 4-2 and 4-3 with an excavator. However, the stairs did not Variety.

Zhang Xiaonian looked at Jiang Pingce inquiringly: "Brother, will it start from the fourth floor, and the hidden mechanism is not between the stairs and the stairs, but in the middle of the stairs?"

Jiang Pingce nodded: "There is a possibility. The suddenly broken staircase is a hint. Dig the middle of the staircase."

Zhang Xiaonian forcibly cut off the middle of the stairs with an excavator. To everyone's surprise, half of the stairs seemed to have magical skills suddenly, and flew straight up!

Ke Shaobin asked, "Did the step ladder become an elevator?"

I don't know how many floors I flew before half of the stairs stopped in the air and connected with the other half in front. Zhang Xiaonian hurriedly measured with a laser rangefinder: "17.5 meters from the roof?"

Jiang Pingce made some calculations and said, "We are on the sixth floor."

柯少彬的笔记本电脑里已经做好了模型图，30米高的大楼被分成十二层空间，第一层距离屋顶30米、第二层27.5米、第三层25米、第四层22.5米……以此类推。

They were still on the fourth floor just now, but suddenly jumped to the sixth floor.

Yue Xingwen said: "Did you skip the fifth floor?"

Jiang Pingce guessed: "In the twelve-story tower, the first to third floors follow a mechanism rule, and the fourth floor begins with another mechanism rule. The stairs here will break and go up and down."

Ke Shaobin suddenly realized: "That is to say, in this labyrinth of organs, the organs on the first three floors are connected by stairs that rotate 180 degrees to connect with the stairs on the next floor; from the fourth floor onwards, the organs become broken stairs and go up and down in a straight line. Maybe in the future Will it change?"

Jiang Pingce nodded: "Well, let's go up first."

Everyone walked forward a few steps, Zhuo Feng just marked 6-2, suddenly, there was a strange vibration under his feet, Yue Xingwen immediately reminded: "Everyone be careful, hold on to the vines!"

With the sound of "Boom", the stairs under everyone's feet split in two in an instant!

Just now, I experienced the fear of falling suddenly. This time, everyone reacted very quickly, almost at the moment when their feet shook, the students walking behind grabbed the vines and rushed forward a few steps, and the broken stairs teleported to the distance , the 7 of them did not separate, all crowded on the other half of the stairs.

Ke Shaobin adjusted his glasses and said, "Almost fell again."

Yue Xingwen breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "This maze really reminds me of the class of city collapse, the architecture department of the library, the quality of the buildings is not good enough."

Zhang Xiaonian also complained in a low voice: "The bean curd project caused the entire city to collapse. There is a corpse hidden in the wall of the construction site, and the stairs are broken at every turn... The school of architecture in the library is here to deceive people."

Yue Xingwen was helpless: "Let's go, watch your step."

Everyone continued to climb up. Zhang Xiaonian used an excavator to break the middle of the stairs. However, the broken stairs did not rise this time, but suddenly fell like weightless. Everyone hurriedly grabbed the handrail.

After the stairs were stable, Zhang Xiaonian measured the distance: "Are you back to the fifth floor?"

Jiang Pingce said: "The mechanism in this space is the staircase ascending/descending mechanism. The descending mechanism was triggered just now. Keep looking."

With Jiang Pingce leading the team, Yue Xingwen felt at ease, even though the stairs sometimes went up and down, and the whole three-dimensional maze made people dizzy, but he believed that Jiang Pingce had a clear structure in his mind.

As long as Jiang Pingce doesn't panic, Yue Xingwen won't be in a hurry -- just follow Pingce.

Facts have also proved that Yue Xingwen's trust in Jiang Pingce is not blind.

Jiang Pingce has indeed built a three-dimensional geometric figure in his mind. According to Zhang Xiaonian's height measurement, he can instantly calculate the current floor plan and the way to continue going up.

Even if he accidentally triggers the landing mechanism and falls back to a lower plane, he can still find the fastest way to the higher plane based on his amazing memory.

"Disconnect 5-3 and descend back to the fourth floor."

"Break 4-2 again and go to the sixth floor."

"6-3, go up to the eighth floor."

The surrounding area was very quiet, except for Jiang Pingce's commanding voice.

The floor numbers marked by Zhuo Feng became symbols representing the mechanism in Jiang Pingce's mind. Following his calm instructions, Zhang Xiaonian quickly used the excavator to trigger the mechanism, and when the broken staircase was connected to the next half of the stairs again , Zhang Xiaonian measured the distance and said excitedly: "There are only 7.5 meters left!"

The whole building is 30 meters high and 7.5 meters from the roof, indicating that they are on the tenth floor.After walking through the eleventh and twelfth floors, you can go out.

Jiang Pingce said: "The last three floors are left, and the organization may change again."

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the flight of stairs where everyone was sitting suddenly began to float into the air.

This time it was not only drifting and lifting, but also the stairs would rotate. Everyone grabbed the handrails of the stairs nervously, their bodies were floating in the air, and their heads were about to turn dizzy!

Jiang Pingce hurriedly said: "Brother marked, 10-1."

After the stairs turned around, it was connected to another flight of stairs, but it was only connected for less than 3 seconds, and then it automatically floated to the distance, and then connected to the next flight of stairs. The connection time was also 3 seconds, and it left in a row.

The stairs carrying them were like spaceships, moving back and forth in the air.

Ke Shaobin's face was ugly: "Dynamic mechanism? We want to walk over immediately when the two flights of stairs connect?"

Jiang Pingce frowned and thought for a few seconds, and then made a bold decision: "Xiao Nian, brother Zhuo, follow me, and the others stay where they are." He looked at Yue Xingwen and asked softly, "Do you believe me?"

Yue Xingwen patted his arm with a smile: "Nonsense. Go, wait for your good news."

Jiang Pingce nodded, took Zhang Xiaonian and Zhuo Feng with him, and the three of them packed lightly and ran quickly when the stairs connected to another section.The flight of stairs shifted and twirled through the air as they ran past it, and in an instant it was gone.

Ke Shaobin looked nervously at the constantly moving stairs floating in the air around him, and said: "The space here is chaotic, if you go wrong, you might get lost, right?"

Yue Xingwen looked calm: "Don't worry, with Ping Ce around, you won't get lost."

Lin Manluo teased, "Is that why you trust Jiang Pingce?"

Yue Xingwen said seriously: "Ping Ce's calculation ability and spatial thinking are at the top level among college students across the country. If he can't get out of this maze, then the failure rate of this maze course will become 100% %."

Everyone: "..."

What this means is that no one can pass the maze that Jiang Pingce can't get through.

Lin Manluo smiled lightly, and said, "If he hears you praise him so much, he will be very happy?"

Yue Xingwen smiled, looked at the three people around him, and explained: "Ping Ce took Xiaonian to measure the distance and Brother Zhuo to write the mark. The three of them are more convenient to move and can save a lot of time. Don't worry, everyone, after he finds the exit He will give us directions, and we can just go out according to his prompts."

Qin Lu's mind was completely dazed, all the stairs around were moving, some spun to the distance, and some inexplicably appeared beside her, it was like a magic castle made up of countless stairs.And the 10-1 stairs carrying them have been flying around in the air.People with fear of heights will probably spit it out if they pass through this maze.

As time passed, the three of them gradually became a little anxious. Only Yue Xingwen kept his expression relaxed—he was indeed not good at mazes and spatial reasoning, but he believed that Pince could find the exit.

Sure enough, not long after, Jiang Pingce sent a message on the channel of the research group: "The exit has been found. You go 10-2, 11-4, 11-2, 12-3, 12-4."

The stairs carrying them happened to be connected to a line marked 10-2, and Yue Xingwen immediately said, "Let's go!"

The three of them ran quickly after him, and the stairs under their feet began to rotate in the air again. Yue Xingwen stared intently at the front. The stairs were connected to two interference items on the way, but Yue Xingwen ignored them until they reached the stairs. At the moment Jiang Pingce mentioned 11-4, Yue Xingwen led his teammates to the next flight of stairs!

3 seconds, the action must be fast.

After several consecutive space transitions, the stairs carrying Yue Xingwen finally reached the 12-4 step after a flight.

Yue Xingwen saw that Jiang Pingce was waiting for him on the other side of the steps.

The eyes of the two met in the air, Jiang Pingce stretched out his hand and said, "Come here."

The moment the stairs connected, Yue Xingwen immediately reached out his hand, and Jiang Pingce took his hand and pulled him gently, pulling him up the last step.Lin Manluo, Ke Shaobin and Qin Lu also quickly jumped over——

As you can see, at the end of the steps, there is an arched door.

That is the exit of the maze!
