Chapter 428: Chapter 311 Decryption Game_2

That was a wall—at least ten meters by three meters—and the entire wall was filled with bookshelves without a single gap.

The bookshelves were firmly embedded in the wall, and every shelf was packed with books; this wall alone had at least a thousand books.

"This, sss..." Xiao Yi, seeing this, couldn’t help but gasp, "Are we supposed to find the clue to open the door among all these books? Isn’t that a bit..."

"...What?" Hart walked over and said, "Indeed, it does seem a bit tiring, doesn’t it?"

"..." Xiao Yi paused for a moment before asking, "Can I go back?"

"Oh come on..." Hart immediately reached out, ready to persuade, and said with a smile, "Since we’re already here, let’s just look for the clue. Think of it as a form of entertainment."

Xiao Yi: "..."

Meanwhile, Wei’er had already started investigating.

She felt around the bookshelves and knocked on them, attempting to find some mechanism to open the door.

"Don’t try it..." Hart said, "I’ve already tried it. Those bookshelves don’t have any trigger mechanisms."

"So what should we do?" Wei’er asked.

"Anyway, there definitely is some mechanism here to open the door; we just haven’t found it yet. Otherwise, all this space wouldn’t just disappear."

"Where exactly is this door-opening mechanism? It must be here, it’s only... I don’t know where it might be hiding."

Wei’er then again surveyed the bookshelves up and down, trying to spot anything peculiar.

"Xiao Yi..." Hart then looked at Xiao Yi and asked, "How do you plan to deal with the mechanism hidden in this entire wall?"

"Um..." Xiao Yi thought for a moment and said, "Since someone is already investigating over there, I’ll take a look around other places for clues."

Saying this, Xiao Yi began to wander around the library, and soon, he discovered something odd.

"Why on earth is there a bathroom in this library?"

Xiao Yi stared at the bathroom in front of him, baffled.

Hart also came over and said, "Could it be... for convenience so that people can clean up after a library play session?"

"Maybe it’s for giving the books a bath," Xiao Yi said, "After all, books need regular care and cleaning."

"...Ah?" Hart was stunned, "Are you serious?"

"Anyway, let’s go inside and see."

Xiao Yi and Hart entered the bathroom, but there was nothing in the bathroom—even the walls Hart knocked on around the area all sounded solid.

The only thing worth mentioning was that pulling back the bathtub curtain revealed a hole.

"It seems there are no clues at all."

"Not necessarily."

Xiao Yi eyed the hole in the curtain thoughtfully.

"Maybe something is hidden inside that hole."

"...Ah?" Hart was baffled again, "Are you serious? While it’s called a hole, it’s not exactly a cavern but just a tear in a paper-thin shower curtain. How could anything be hidden in there?"

"Tsks, your thinking is too limited," Xiao Yi said. "Look carefully; this hole is perfectly shaped. It’s clear that it wasn’t torn open by accident, but cut by someone on purpose. Making a bathroom especially here, and deliberately cutting a hole in the shower curtain, must have a special meaning."

"Indeed, it is perfectly shaped," Hart nodded, yet added, "But again, what could that indicate? Xiao Yi, you should know that there’s no way to hide anything in just a hole."

"No, this hole can hide something."

Xiao Yi said, pointing to the hole.

No, more precisely, he was pointing at the wall of the bathroom visible through the hole.

"...Hmm!?"

Hart finally realized something, immediately rushed to the wall opposite the hole, and then, taking out a tool, started pounding hard on that wall!

"Indeed...very solid, the wall is solid, but!"

Hart once again mustered all his strength and smashed into that wall as hard as he could! Then, a small rectangular box fell out from it.

"There really is something! Xiao Yi! You’re truly amazing! Without you, I would never have discovered this!"

Hart hurriedly called out and then opened the box as soon as Xiao Yi came over.

From the box, a piece of paper fell out.

Hart unfolded the paper only to find it was a long string of different numbers, arranged in sequence.

"Numbers?" Hart grew more puzzled, "What do these mean? What are these numbers related to?"

Xiao Yi said, "For now, let’s go back to the bookshelf and see."

"Alright..."

Both men returned to the bookshelf, and Wei’er was still empty-handed, she looked at them and asked,

"I haven’t found anything here, did you find anything?"

Then, Hart handed her the note.

Wei’er took the note and her gaze slightly sharpened.

"Is this... a series of codes? But... there doesn’t seem to be any device here to input the codes."

Xiao Yi glanced at the content on the note again, "Looking closely, although these numbers are arranged randomly, none exceed a certain value, this is..."

Xiao Yi then looked up at the bookshelf and seemed to notice something.

"Count carefully, that value is almost consistent with the total number of rows and columns of this bookshelf... Could it be, these numbers hint at specific books in each row and column of this shelf?"

"...!"

Hearing this, Hart and Wei’er were both shocked, and they quickly took out the books specified by the numbers on the note.

When the last book was removed, the bookshelf emitted a dull noise! The bookshelf then started moving, a door opened, and then, the space inside was revealed to everyone!

"So it really is like this!"

Seeing this, both of them rushed in impatiently to find out what was inside.

"...Feels like we’re playing a decrypting game," Xiao Yi muttered as he also walked in.

Then, the three of them finally saw the interior of the hidden room.

"This, this is!"

The ship was electrified, and this room was filled with various electronic devices and several large screens.

The content displayed on those screens showed every location inside the cabin, including all rooms and every corner.

"This is... surveillance!" Hart’s expression became serious, "I didn’t expect this ship to be full of surveillance cameras, has someone been monitoring our every move?"

Meanwhile, through the surveillance, they also became aware of the situation of others.

Leaf and Lin Huixue were huddled together, seeming to have a special relationship, and were whispering about something.

And Six was in the room, uttering things like "I might have been a spy of a powerful country, or a King of Soldiers or son of a Noble" while striking some embarrassing poses.

It seemed that when no one was watching, Six was someone who would let himself go.

"You guys... come over and look! I’ve found something incredible!" Just then, Wei’er’s voice drew their attention, and she was holding a stack of documents.

She said, "The marked date on this is exactly twelve years ago!"

Xiao Yi and Hart looked intently and saw that the documents clearly displayed a headline!
