Staring at him from those cans of all sizes, Chen Zhuo couldn't help but swallow.
Even after experiencing four Instance and seeing quite a few scenes, Chen Zhuo was still quite frightened and felt a chill run down his spine.
If it weren't for the two girls beside him looking so calm, Chen Zhuo probably would have screamed already.
A person's courage can change depending on the atmosphere around them.
Therefore, despite the terrifying scene, Chen Zhuo was not scared out of his wits.
He mustered his courage and asked in a trembling voice.
"What are all these things...?"
"I don't know either, but we'll look into it."
Li Nian had already taken off her white, jade-like gloves and was gently tapping the jar with her fingers.
Then, an eyeball miraculously disappeared from the jar and appeared between Li Nian's fingers.
The eyeball seemed somewhat frightened after leaving the container, and it spun around rapidly.
However, being held by Li Nian's fingers, it was somewhat unable to move.
Li Nian watched the eyeballs "struggle" and clicked her tongue in amazement.
"This looks really interesting; it seems to be some kind of 'monitor'."
"Truth Company is truly an extremely wicked company."
Li Nian spoke, she "stuffed" the eyeball back into the jar.
This operation was executed flawlessly, without the slightest hesitation.
Chen Zhuo looked at Li Nian with eyes full of admiration, as if he were looking at a warrior catching a cockroach with his bare hands.
Lin Yu remained calm.
"A surveillance camera? It's not exactly discreet at all."
How did you come to this conclusion?
Li Nian casually replied, "I guessed... Well, that's not the point. The point is the door to the next carriage."
She shone her flashlight beam onto the door in front of the three of them.
The sealed carriage doors are airtight, without a single gap, and could easily serve as the outer hatch of a submarine or spacecraft.
The black one-way glass reflected the blurry silhouettes of the three people like a mirror, obscuring the view inside the other carriage.
Next to the door is a touch terminal for entering a password, and below the terminal is an area that appears to be used for reading cards.
But...
The keyboard for entering the password is not a traditional nine-key keyboard, but a 4x4 sixteen-key keyboard.
The sixteen keys are printed with different emoticons representing joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.
Li Nian picked up the Identity card of the tall, thin man she had previously confiscated and swiped it on the card.
"Drop--"
The terminal flashed green, seemingly indicating that it was approved.
But the door didn't open.
"Dear C-2 level staff member, Pankto von Valetti, your access request has been submitted. To enter the area ahead, please enter the four-digit dynamic password for this period."
A gentle electronic notification sounded.
"Oh, it looks like we've reached the puzzle-solving stage. I thought this Instance was just pure combat," Li Nian said with some regret. "Choosing four out of sixteen numbers... how many times would it take to try them one by one..."
"If these symbols cannot be chosen repeatedly, there are over 40,000 possibilities; if they are repeated... it could approach 70,000 possibilities."
Lin Yu did a quick mental calculation and came to a conclusion.
Of course, he had already calculated the specific possibilities—there are 43,680 ways to choose without repeating, which requires the use of factorial.
The number of repetitions is 16 to the power of 4 – 65,536.
In short, neither of these can be guessed out easily...
Even with a Good luck buff, it's still difficult to guess correctly.
Chen Zhuo looked at the password and thought for a moment before saying, "I've seen in the Spy Gone North movies that you can use tape to test fingerprints on keys to confirm frequently used keys..."
"The hint says it's a dynamic password," Lin Yu reminded him. "Although we don't know how long a cycle is, this method shouldn't work."
Li Nian looked around. "Will there be any clues? Let's search him to see if he has any receivers or anything... If not, we can wake him up and interrogate him."
Li Nian offered a relatively practical and feasible solution.
But Lin Yu still felt that this method wasn't very efficient.
Li Nian had already taken action, starting to grope the tall, thin man.
"At times like this, I really miss those puzzle-solving guys in the organization... Unfortunately, teaming up with them would be a complete downside for this Little fatty who hasn't Tier Advancement yet..."
Li Nian said with emotion.
After all, if a "Tier 3" Player teams up with Chen Zhuo, who hasn't Tier Advancement or even experienced the Tier Advancement Instance, the Instance's difficulty would be absolutely hellish for Chen Zhuo.
It's quite possible that even a passing dog could bite him to death in two bites.
Chen Zhuo also sighed, "It's a bit of a pity. I also know a very smart guy who is very good at solving puzzles, but he seems to be subject to many restrictions and can't team up with me."
Li Nian nodded. "People who are good at solving puzzles are really few and far between... We met a very interesting newcomer before who was very good at solving puzzles. Others were also very interested in him and even sent me to evaluate him, but unfortunately he didn't seem to be interested in joining us... We haven't been able to contact him much lately."
Lin Yu listened from the side, a slight sweat breaking out on his brow.
He had a premonition...
The two people Chen Zhuo and Li Nian were talking about might be the same person.
Lin Yu, who originally intended to slack off under the guise of "Zhu Ming," now decided to quickly open this door.
Of course, it would be best to also consider the character settings of "Zhu Ming" and "Xia Yue" and choose a method that is not too abrupt...
Lin Yu pondered for a moment, and then a flash of inspiration struck him, leading him to devise a solution.
Although it might not work...
But you can give it a try!
"I do have an idea I'd like to try. The guy who traded me the [Fear Torch] gave me a bonus as a bonus."
As he spoke, Lin Yu took out...
Identity card belonging to "Vill Valetti".
Lin Yu swiped the Identity card again in the card reader area below.
"Drop--"
"Dear B-3 Independent Researcher, Will Valetti, welcome to the forward area."
Two green lights illuminated, and the keypad door in front of us opened directly.
"As expected, this card doesn't require a password."
Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, although Will Valetti is naive, he is definitely a high-ranking and powerful figure within the Truth Company.
The reason why the Field Team leader's C-2 level requires a password is because access to this account requires "requesting permission".
Will Valetti, with his higher authority, likely wouldn't need to apply!
Of course, the luckiest thing is...
Despite being an Independent Researcher who perished in the Snow Mountain- capped mountains years ago, "Vill Valetti's" Identity card access has not yet been revoked.
Does the Truth Company think he's still alive? Or is it normal for an Independent Researcher stationed abroad to not return to the company for ten years and disappear without a trace?
Lin Yu had no idea.
At the same time, he also noticed another detail—he hadn't realized it when Li Nian picked up the tall, thin man's Identity card, but now that he heard the announcement again, Lin Yu noticed it.
Not only him, but also Li Nian and even Chen Zhuo noticed it.
"Huh, these two people have the same surname?"
"They're both Valetti, could there be some connection between them?"
