chapter41 mechanism

"The secret passage, such a very vulgar thing, is one of them."

"If the secret passage...hasn't it been found or even destroyed by Umbrella's lackeys?" Carl pointed out this problem at once.

"No." Dahe shook his head, "When I saw that the rockery in the courtyard was still intact, I knew that the secret passage must have not been discovered yet...or in other words, I only found something to mislead the enemy."

"Rockland?" Carl jumped to the roof of the car and looked at the rockery in the courtyard. "Well... it seems that there is no trace of battle near the rockery..."

"Well... this is also a psychological tactic... it's like entering the cherry blossom path here." Okawa said, "Generally speaking, no one would have thought that the secret would be placed so openly where anyone can get close to it at any time."

"...Aren't you a martial arts family..." My wife Reiji asked with a twitching corner of her mouth, "Why do I think you should be a psychological family? It took a lot of time to discover such a hidden house by Umbrera Company... I just discovered that even if I look down from the sky, I might not be able to find this house. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the fog in the forest will block the view from above. I guess, when Umbrera Company is looking for this place, it has to use the US government's spy satellite."

"Well... I thought about this question before..." Dahe smiled and continued, "In the end, I came to the conclusion that my ancestors were too bored when they were misleading, so they came up with these twists and turns. When I was a child, I accidentally opened the secret passage, and the result was…"

Speaking of this, Dahe suddenly stopped his words.

"The result?" Shinko asked curiously.

"Yeah..." Dahe shook his head, "It's nothing. Don't waste time here. I'll open the entrance to the secret passage. By the way, what month and day is today, and so many things have happened these days..."

"Today is July 6th, Dahe." Sugiko replied.

"Is it July 6th... Well... that's the sixth day of the sixth lunar month." Dahe thought for a moment, "Yeah, that should be in this order..."

After saying that, Dahe began to walk into the courtyard.

"Dahe, does the date have anything to do with you opening the secret passage?" Shoko followed and asked Dahe.

Seeing that Satsuko followed Okawa, Sugiko and Mengmeng chased after him.

"Carl, please wait here for a while. I'll follow them if they need help."

After saying that, my wife Reiji followed.

"Okay~ I'm not interested in those psychology puzzles anyway, so I'll just have a rest here."

"Dahe, does the date have anything to do with you opening the secret passage?" Shuzi asked again when he passed by the small pond on the rockery.

"Well... Didn't I just say it? My ancestors probably were too idle to come up with these puzzles that were completely scheming." Dahe said, and began to climb the rockery. "I don't know which ancestor organized this secret passage to be built at the beginning. However, with new ideas added later, the method of opening this secret passage was so complicated that it was dying."

"What are you doing when you climb the rockery in Dahe??" Mengmeng asked curiously.

After climbing the rockery, the river slightly adjusts the direction of the bamboo tube, so that the water flows directly into the pond and no longer pours on the rockery.

"The opening of the secret passage is different in the order of each day." Dahe patted the soil in his hand and said helplessly, "The five elements of Yin and Yang... are gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and the five elements of Yin and Yang are connected to the date in a certain way. On which day, the order of which day should be used to open the mechanism one by one. After calculation, the result is that today's order is 'yin and yang', and it starts from the 'water', which is the order of 'water', that is, the order of 'water, gold, fire, wood, earth'."

"I think even if the enemy discovers the mechanism..." Fukako rubbed her forehead and said, "If there is no corresponding knowledge, you can't open the entrance to the secret passage..."

"So... my ancestors are absolutely idle and have nothing to do!" Dakawa said helplessly, "But these things finally come in handy this time."

"What will happen if the mechanism is not opened in order, Dahe?" Sugiko asked curiously.

"If someone can find five mechanisms of 'Gold, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth'..." Dahe shrugged, "but if you don't know the correct order of turning on the switch, if you turn on the five switches, the correct secret passage will be completely locked in at least one day. There may be a misleading entrance such as fake "secret passage" or fake "secret chamber" in many places in the compound. Of course, if you go in, there will be many ancient mechanisms in it to greet you, such as rolling stones, poison-tempering arrows, pits filled with spikes... and so on.

It's very similar to the rpg game, right? However, I think it's impossible for anyone to discover all five mechanisms... Just like just now, I adjusted the direction of the bamboo tube, but that mechanism will not really start after a long time. Moreover, if the next mechanism is not started in the correct order, the bamboo tube itself will not react, but the internal mechanism has not been reset. The bamboo tube must be adjusted back to its original position before the new day comes, otherwise, the real entrance to the secret passage will still be locked the next day."

"So complicated meow~" If it were anime, Mengmeng's eyes should have become typical mosquito-coiled eyes, and then stars or birds began to appear on her head.

"The wisdom of the ancients is indeed not to be underestimated..." My wife Reiji, who had been following the four girls without saying a word, suddenly sighed, "And, that bamboo tube... I think unless I knew it was a mechanism, it would be impossible to find out that it was a mechanism..."

"Ah! Uncle, when did you run behind me?" Okawa was startled by the sudden voice of my wife Reiji.

"In addition to the uncle attribute, do I have ghost attributes..." My wife Reiji said with a black head.

"It's probably because Okawa was too focused on explaining the affairs of the agency just now. Don't care too much, uncle." Sugiko comforted. However, Sugiko's tone seemed to be joking about my wife Reiji.

"Anyway... no matter what, this uncle's attributes can't be removed..."

"With a baby face, you can't hide your uncle's temperament." Fukako said as if she was complimenting and joking.

"Okay... uncle, please uncle." My wife Suji gave up on her defense, "But, it's better to open all the institutions as soon as possible and leave here early. Who knows whether the lackeys of Umbrella's company will appear again."

"Yeah, I understand." Dahe replied, speeding up and heading towards the big house.

－－－－－－－－－－－－

Afterwards, several people circled several big circles in this Hefeng House.

Arsenal - gold;

Forging room-fire;

A scroll in the main hall of the big house - wood;

Under the picture scroll in the hall, the body of an old man was supported by a tooth knife. He knelt on the tatami and did not fall down. His eyes, which had lost their focus, were still wide open and looked at something angrily.

"Grandpa...this is probably the last time I called you like that..." Dahe bowed to the old man, "Although, I hate you very much... Well... no, I should say, I hate you. But no matter what, you are my grandpa..."

Silently closed the old man's eyes and placed them flat on the upper part of the main hall. He pulled out the Taidao, which was originally inserted into the floor, and placed it next to the old man.

"Grandpa, you have protected the 'Wutong Group' for the rest of your life, and even your own son and granddaughter are just tools to protect this name..." Dahe said calmly, "To this day, the 'Wutong Group' should have completely disappeared... This place has become your last destination... isn't it..."

At this time, Dahe saw something in the old man's hand.

It was a pair of small sachets. Although they were well preserved, it can be seen from the white edges that the sachets are already very historical.

"...Is this thing of all meaning to you..." Dahe murmured to himself, "Isn't it you who drove me and my sister out of the house with your own hands after my father's death..."

Silently squatting beside the old man, Dahe recalled what happened when he was a child.

"Sister Miyu... Are you okay..."

A few minutes later, Dahe stood up.

"Sorry... I've wasted everyone's time again..." Dahe apologized to the people, "Now, there is still the last agency left."

In addition, along the way, everyone saw many corpses wearing practice clothes, probably all of whom were children of Wutong Group. However, there was no corpse of Umbrella's lackey. I don't know whether it was Wutong Group completely powerless to resist or Umbrella's company that obliterated the evidence for insurance. Finally, everyone returned to the rockery.

"Dahe, shouldn't there be another mechanism?" asked Fuko. "The bamboo tube that guides the water flow is 'water', the ceramic weapon frame that carries the weapons is 'gold', the cooling water used for forging is 'fire', and the scroll painted with swords just now belongs to 'wood', these are only four mechanisms. I always feel... these things are very strange?"

"Well, Fuzi, you know little about Eastern culture, so I seem to see something..." Sugiko said with a frown slightly, "Mu overcomes water, earth overcomes metal, water overcomes fire, metal overcomes wood... The last one should be fire overcomes earth..."

"Well, the last mechanism is here." Dahe nodded and replied.

"It's really..." My wife Suji said in surprise, "Although I already knew that these institutions were too unexpected, I could still find the right location when I knew the clues. However, the last one... is really unexpected! In all directions of the first few institutions, who could have thought that the last institution was actually at the starting point?"

"Actually... there are not only these five mechanisms." Dahe climbed the rockery again, "but, according to the rules, it is correct for these five mechanisms today... I took a lot of time to write down these things... The place under the bamboo tube will dry very quickly once it is not wet by water. Perhaps this is what Shanzi said, fire overcomes earth."

Dahe pulled an inconspicuous protrusion under the bamboo tube, and then quickly jumped off the rockery.

"Yeah, that's all right." Dahe clapped his hands, then looked at the sky.

It was already evening at this time.

"When the sun sets, the entrance to the secret passage will open. Now, we have to wait a little longer."
