The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 254: riddle

When the door opened, a gust of wind blew out from the door.

The dust and the musty smell came...

Shen Yu was slightly bright, like Moses opening the sea, and the stale wind was divided into two halves in front of Sean.

Inside the dark door, there was a faint rustling sound.

Like silkworms greedily eating mulberry leaves.

Sean glanced at Olivia: "Be careful." The spirit substance carried a lighter and walked into the door first.

After entering, Sean used his spiritual power to hide the door—to prevent a single giant baby or an alchemy Chimera from breaking in.

After a long corridor, the road ahead was blocked by a wall.

On the stone wall, there is a metal door.

Behind the door, the "rustling" sound became more pronounced.

Sean felt that the sound made his scalp tingle.

"It's not a good sign..."

He narrowed his eyes.

However, it has always been the case—the road of exploration cannot be stopped just because of the danger ahead...

You can only go forward with confidence and courage.

Although he knows what should be behind the door, Sean, who has always used esoteric substances, will not use esoteric substances to spy on them in this situation.

Walking to the door, the firelight illuminated the metal door with a few lines on it.

Every few lines of words, there will be several rollers engraved with metal letters...

There are three sets of such rollers in total.

"This is..." Olivia took a few steps closer and looked at the Latin writing on the wall, "Riddle?"

Sean took a closer look and agreed with Olivia's judgment.

The three sets of rollers on the wall are like three password locks, and the password should be the answer to the three riddles.

Sean, who had studied Latin, read three riddles by the firelight.

"What can't be seen during the day, but can be seen at night.

Obviously there is only one, but I can see three.

Can't see without it, can't see without it? "

"What can be seen during the day and invisible at night.

Obviously there are two, but it feels like one.

Can you see yourself, but you can't see yourself? "

"What does not speak, but speaks a thousand words.

It can't fill the stomach, but it makes people stronger.

Very fragile, but stronger than a weapon? "

Three riddles, three things.

The names of the three things are the correct passwords.

Olivia seemed to be very interested in riddles, she approached with interest and wanted to start solving the riddles.

Sean already nodded and said, "I see, the answer is 'candlelight', 'eyes' and 'books'."

Just as he was about to turn the wheel, there was a burst of dissatisfaction from the crimson tie.

Turning her head to look at Olivia, she found that the sophisticated girl was standing aside, blinking in sluggishness and surprise.

You are... too fast, aren't you?

I haven't finished reading yet?

Only then did Sean realize that he seemed to spoil Olivia's fun in solving puzzles.

She smiled a little embarrassedly.

Thinking of what happened in the city of plague, Sean was worried that Olivia would have emotions again.

After all, I just planned to not explain anything, just started to turn the scroll wheel, completely ignoring the partner's opinion.

Olivia shook her head in the darkness and sighed.

No way... it's Sean after all.

"There are many stories in the New Testament city."

Without any annoyance, Olivia looked at the riddle and asked, "I can understand the third riddle. Why is the first one candlelight?"

Candlelight can only be seen at night.

However, why is "there is only one, but three can be seen; without it, you can't see, and without it, you can't see?"

"Look at me." Sean held the lighter and looked at Olivia.

Looking at Sean, Olivia instantly understood.

The light of the lighter, reflected in Sean's eyes, happened to be three firelights.

"Then you can't see without it, and you can't see without it?"

While turning the first scroll wheel, Sean said, "Of course you can't see without light at night...

"However, if you keep staring at the light in the dark, there is a risk of blindness in the long run.

"In other words, if you suddenly encounter strong light from the dark, you will also be temporarily blinded."

This riddle is not difficult, but Olivia felt that Sean's thinking speed was as if he had seen this riddle before.

However, these riddles were written by Dale Finch, where did he see them?

In his soul, Sean felt a little admiration in Olivia's chest...

"Then what about the second one?"

Turning to look at Olivia: "First of all, everyone has their eyes open during the day, so of course they can see their eyes; when they fall asleep at night, naturally they can't see.

"Secondly, although we have two eyes, we only have one field of vision when we see things...

"You won't realize your eyes are two."

Olivia nodded, and in Sean's eyes, she saw her slightly confused face.

Can see himself, in Sean's eyes.

I can't see myself again, in my own eyes.

"Sean..."

That faint sense of admiration became stronger.

The alchemist girl, who always wanted to protect her readers, looked at Sean's focused face and felt a strong "sense of security".

"He's the one who can take us out of the labyrinth..."

Thinking of the state of pity on Sean in the black church, he planned to sacrifice himself.

Suddenly I found that the idea was a little stupid.

"You can always trust him."

There was one wheel left to complete, and Sean found that his red eyes seemed to be staring straight at him.

"Olivia?"

The alchemist girl came back to her senses and turned around, as if there was something to be on guard against in the darkness.

Sean smiled and turned out the last letter.

Clap la la...

The gears turned inside the wall~lightnovelpub.net~ The metal door slowly opened.

The "rustle" was very obvious, as if it was ringing in my ears.

Sean wanted to enter, but Olivia raised the flame and walked in first.

Behind the metal door is a small room.

The bookshelves with various books around the room were full of dust.

That "rustling" sound came from the farthest position in the room.

Sean stopped Olivia who wanted to go forward, gestured with his eyes, and walked over with the light of the fire.

The firelight illuminated the scene ahead, and Sean frowned in confusion.

In a dark corner, in this small space that has been covered in dust for 400 years, a man is holding a quill pen, crawls on the desk, and concentrates on writing something.

The quill tip kept rubbing the parchment on the table...

rustling...

rustling...

"Writing in the dark?" Sean and Olivia both stopped.

In the firelight, the man's face was blurred, and he could only see his hand holding the pen constantly moving.

I didn't even notice the arrival of visitors, and kept writing on my own...
