Chapter 1109: Chapter 630: Qimen Problem Solver No. 9 (Part 2)

"It’s just that our own food doesn’t fill us up."

They had tried eating what they’d brought, but it did nothing to alleviate the hunger.

"This place is probably a trap. If these mouse servants feel the same way as we do... once we’re ready, they might get angry and have reason to attack us."

Number Six said, standing by the solving approach.

Everyone nodded.

They were lucky to have a puzzle solver like Number Six come in, helping them avoid many potential pitfalls.

"But we have to cook... whether it’s to fill our stomachs or to prevent attacks from these mouse servants, we have to make a meal to eat here."

"But where will the real ingredients come from?"

Yang Zhu asked this question with a serious expression.

At this moment, the black mist that shrouded Yang Genshuo in front of the post station had already dissipated, allowing him to observe everything about the post station fully, and he could open the character cards for each mouse servant.

Unfortunately, the introductions on these character cards were still filled with question marks.

Yang Genshuo had experienced such a situation before.

It happens when a Great Power conceals Heavenly Secrets, rendering him unable to see information about the person.

He couldn’t see through almost any disciple of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.

Yang Genshuo believed that, in this world, his observation... was akin to the Heavenly Dao’s examination, and if someone conceals Heavenly Secrets, even he can only see question marks."

"This means... the story of the Legendary Land is obscured by a Great Power, preventing us from peering into it."

Flowers bloom on two branches, each expressing its own bloom.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Yang Min also brought people to the mouse servant’s post station. After negotiating with these mouse servants for a brief moment, Yang Min sent nine nieces and nephews to rest while he retrieved a Heavenly Mechanism Talisman from his storage ring.

"Where is the key to breaking this situation located?"

As the Heavenly Mechanism Talisman burned, four large characters appeared before Yang Min.

"Heavenly Secrets Unpredictable."

Yang Min’s Heavenly Mechanism Talisman became ineffective.

"What a pity... and with this, my Heavenly Mechanism Talisman’s warning function won’t be triggered."

Yang Min continued to think of other ways to resolve the situation.

Yang Genshuo also witnessed that the Legendary Land was shielded against all divinatory methods and magical treasures, offering no shortcuts.

"Then we’ll have to rely on our understanding of the story..." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Subsequently, several groups gradually arrived at the post station, and Yang Genshuo briefly shared his experience here.

Among them, Puzzle Solver Number Twelve pondered for a moment and headed toward the granary.

"The person who ties the knot must untie it, since he said to find what we brought ourselves, perhaps there’s something mysterious in the post station granary..."

His choice was also the choice of many puzzle solvers.

But Number Six, who was with Yang Zhu, felt something was amiss.

"I can guess that some of my friends would choose to start with the granary, to find some materials from inside, but... I felt very uncomfortable when I went in earlier, it was too dark... it seemed like countless pairs of eyes were watching me."

"That place only has one exit; if someone closes it behind you, you’d be trapped inside. I don’t plan on going deep into it."

"Perhaps we should go out for a walk... and find something to eat around the area."

All are strategies, at this time, untested. Yang Genshuo didn’t know who was right or wrong.

"However... the words of the mouse servant point to the granary... isn’t this a clue and a hint?"

Yang Genshuo muttered to himself.

He didn’t chat with Number Six because such a simple reasoning must be understood by Number Six, who surely has a better probing plan.

Number Six’s puzzle-solving approach leans towards stability... other puzzle solvers lean towards aggressive, niche, or even twisted strategies... like Number Nine.

"May I ask, can you two contact the ancestor now?"

Yang Qiangjin nodded lightly.

"The ancestor can reach us at any time right now... why? Do you have something to say to the ancestor?"

"I’d like to use the ancestor’s Heavenly Eye to check the layout of the post station and every mouse servant’s current position... I have an idea, maybe it’ll break the situation."

"Oh?"

The death soldier cultivated by Yang Qiangjing naturally knew part of the ancestor’s abilities.

Yang Genshuo felt someone calling him.

"Ancestor, ancestor?"

"What’s happening?"

"Ancestor, can you help us check the layout of the post station?"

Yang Genshuo quickly realized this was Number Nine’s idea, recalling that the Number Six he’s often focused on seemed to admire Number Nine as well, now Number Six was still leading Yang Zhu and them for a stroll outside, without making breakthroughs.

This was a good time to look over here.

The layout of the post station was the same everywhere; the mouse servants were also almost identical.

Yang Genshuo swept his Divine Sense, mapping out the entire layout and positions of the mouse servants, revealing it in the sky.

Yang Qiangjin lightly tapped, threads of dense flames outlined an identical map in the sky that could be seen by Number Nine.

After Number Nine finished viewing, he took out an Array Plate and started deducing...

His fingers twitched rapidly, and mist appeared above his head.

Yang Genshuo only then discovered that Number Nine cultivated a rare cultivation technique that focused on Divine Sense.

"To them, an intelligent mind might be more important than Magic Battle capabilities."

A moment later, Number Nine had finished his deductions.

"I found it! Let’s go... raid their homes!"

"Huh???"

Both Yang Qiangjin and Li Minsi were startled; the strength comparison temporarily unknown, and Number Nine surprisingly wants to take the initiative?

Yang Genshuo also didn’t quite understand.

In his view, the abilities of these mouse servants were like the Hungry Officials... without a realm, all rules, unclear if normal magic could deal with them, but disrupting the story direction... might cause originally calm mouse servants to go mad, akin to the beginning, when refusing tasks made Hungry Officials angry enough to call reinforcements to start attacking.

If he hadn’t appeared in time, Yang Zhu’s kidney would have been directly gouged, and survival would have been difficult...

And inside this post station, there were numerous mouse servants, each house having 20 mouse servants. If they all acted together... it would be difficult for everyone to escape unscathed.

"A puzzle solver’s task is to survive as much as possible, right? Why does it feel like Number Nine is courting death?"

Number Nine, hearing the ancestor’s query, was not surprised at all.

"Ancestor, you may have observed others’ puzzle-solving techniques, even though we’re a team, individual capabilities are still differently divided. Yang Qiangjing said, one thought can never solve all events, our team allows multiple different thoughts to exist, helping us adjust directions, and I... am the peculiar gate breaker among them."

"My method may not look reliable, but... it indeed comes with risks."

Well then, you’ve been babbling on for ages, so it’s about taking risks, huh?

"However, it helps us recognize every character in this story... Ancestor, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but this story emphasizes characters, everyone has their own role and task, we are Deregistration Officials, those assigning tasks are Government Officials, and those running post stations are Government Officials. You showed me their introduction, where one sentence was particularly highlighted..."

"Why do so many Government Officials rush to work this hard job in this desolate place?"

"In other words, these people are essentially Government Officials; what are Government Officials? To put it simply, they are temporary workers, without official status. Compared to Government Officials, they are just small fry... they can only bully common folk escorting grains, so they have large numbers but no dignity."

"Do you remember the Hungry Officials at the story’s start? Their belly had a hole representing their insatiable greed... the belly being a bottomless pit, thus bribery works, appeasing their anger and obtaining some information..."

"These mouse servants, mouse-faced humans, bodies covered by clothing, perhaps symbolizing their character... cowardly like mice, but we’ve been misled by their numbers and appearance... they are actually very weak."

Hissing~~~

Yang Genshuo gasped!

Number Nine, who seemed reckless, actually had such meticulous observational skills!

Connecting seemingly useless information together and deducing a likely correct answer!

This person is a great talent!

"What I concluded above is based on this story’s ’identity,’ and to verify my deduction method, it’s to expose their secrets."

"Please allow me to do it!"
