92: Chapter 92 The Long Sleeping Palace 19

The Stone Room fell into an eerie silence for a moment. After a long while, the Man in Black Turtleneck barely managed to calm his nerves and broke the silence.

"So, do you know how to leave this Stone Room now?"

He still harbored doubts about Luo Yuejian; he found it hard to imagine that the White-haired Girl before him possessed such terrifying powers of observation and analysis.

If Luo Yuejian was truly that clever, then surely the method to leave this Stone Room shouldn't stump her.

His gaze lingered on Luo Yuejian with a probing intent, waiting for her to give him an answer.

Luo Yuejian was a bit confused; she didn't understand why the Man in Black Turtleneck had suddenly changed the subject.

However, the Man in Black Turtleneck's question played right into her hands. Her original plan was to use flawed logic to guide these seeded players, leading them further and further down the wrong path, thereby delaying the time it would take to clear the game.

The longer she stayed in the game, the higher the probability of danger, and the greater the chance of her dying and respawning.

Luo Yuejian pondered to herself: if they wanted to escape this Stone Room as quickly as possible, opening that door was undoubtedly the key. So, if she just needed to keep these two players away from that door, wouldn't that logically delay the time?

Thinking of this, Luo Yuejian's eyes lit up. Since the Man in Black Turtleneck had already offered her a way out, she wouldn't hold back.

Thus, Luo Yuejian spoke without hesitation: "The method to leave this Stone Room is right here."

As she spoke, her gaze turned toward the dry Reservoir in front of them.

Hearing Luo Yuejian's words, the Man in the Suit and the Man in Black Turtleneck looked in the direction of her gaze simultaneously. When they saw the empty Reservoir, they couldn't help but be stunned, with expressions of confusion on their faces, not understanding why Luo Yuejian said the clue was there.

Luo Yuejian herself didn't know why the clue would be there. In fact, she was thinking, how could the clue be here? This Reservoir was seven or eight meters away from that stone door; it wasn't even close.

But it didn't matter; she just had to bluff. Being able to distract the two players was a victory! The more outrageous her bluff, the more confused the Man in the Suit and the Man in Black Turtleneck would be. Ideally, they would think clearing the level was too difficult and choose to kill her, hehe.

She pretended to be confident and said: "Haven't you noticed that the door simply cannot be opened?"

This was pure nonsense on her part. After all, there were only two exits in this Stone Room: one was to turn back and return to the tunnel full of forks they had come from, and the other was this stone door.

If this stone door couldn't be opened, then how else could they leave this room?

Moreover, because she was afraid of accidentally finding any clues, she hadn't stepped anywhere near that stone door. Even if there really was something wrong with it, she wouldn't have been able to discover it.

Luo Yuejian was smug about her sudden idea. Once she said this, regardless of whether the Man in Black Turtleneck and the Man in the Suit believed her or not, they would definitely have to investigate for a good while.

Once they discovered that the stone door could actually be opened, they would surely realize that she was just a fool.

Killing two birds with one stone.

Hearing Luo Yuejian's words, the Man in Black Turtleneck's expression changed instantly. He strode back to the stone door and began to observe it carefully.

The Man in the Suit also stared at the door seriously from the side.

Seeing that the two of them were actually researching whether the door could be opened, Luo Yuejian felt secretly delighted, thinking that this method was correct. She needed to think of more outrageous clues to mislead the Man in the Suit and the Man in Black Turtleneck.

Just as she was thinking happily, she suddenly heard the Man in Black Turtleneck say in a low voice: "You're right, this stone door is fake..."

Luo Yuejian: ?

What do you mean the stone door is fake? She couldn't believe her ears. Are you kidding me? What does it mean that the stone door is fake? Could the crack in the middle actually be painted on?

Facts proved that the crack in the middle of the stone door really could be painted on.

Saying it was painted on wasn't entirely accurate. In reality, the craftsman who designed this fake door had not only carefully carved a groove on the outer side of the stone door that was extremely similar to a real door crack, but also cleverly applied a special pigment inside the groove, making it indistinguishable from a real door in appearance.

If this Underground Palace of Eternal Sleep had just been built, even with the White-haired Girl's reminder, he probably would have found it difficult to detect the anomaly in this door.

However, as time passed, if one carefully examined the door crack now, one would discover some subtle traces of fading pigment.

Although these tiny traces were inconspicuous, they were enough to prove that this stone door was not a real door, but a carefully disguised fake.

In an instant, he was greatly shocked, feeling somewhat incredulous. Because he clearly remembered that the White-haired Girl had never approached this stone door from start to finish, yet she had been able to see through the mystery at a glance.

Such astonishing insight was definitely not something an ordinary person could reach!

And the Man in the Suit, standing to the side, was no less shocked than the Man in Black Turtleneck at this moment.

However, the reason for his shock was slightly different from the other man's.

It is well known that humans find it very difficult to break free from their stereotypes. Just like him and the Man in Black Turtleneck, after entering this Stone Room, neither of them had ever doubted that this stone door might be problematic.

A fixed mode of thinking had already formed in their minds, namely that this stone door must be real and capable of being opened normally.

Because of this, after entering the Stone Room, they had not doubted this stone door at all. Even when searching for clues to open the door, they had conducted a meticulous search of the door, but had never thought to carefully observe the door cracks or investigate whether the door was real or fake.

But with just one glance, Luo Yuejian had discovered that something was wrong with that stone door.

This was not just because of her formidable observation skills; more importantly, Luo Yuejian never believed in fixed impressions; she only trusted her own eyes and her own logical judgment.

Although the Man in the Suit did not yet know from which detail Luo Yuejian had judged that the stone door was fake, he understood very well that there must have been some key detail he had failed to notice that Luo Yuejian had discovered.

This was the gap in intelligence between him and Luo Yuejian, which could not be made up for by experience.

He was truly impressed by Luo Yuejian now, but at the same time, the anxiety in his heart was growing stronger.

With Luo Yuejian's ability, did they really need to figure out the method to clear the level?
