Chapter 33 Clover

During the day, the three did the following things.

Investigate the secrets of past treasure hunts. Get familiar with the structure of the academy.

At night, both Nissen and Yue Yun became excited.

Legend has it that the treasure only appears at night when the huge dome lights are turned on.

The three of them acted separately.

Before leaving, Wen Xishu said:
“If the three of us walk together, we will probably be mistaken for treasure hunters. I guess there are more than one person in our dormitory looking for treasure tonight.”

“Besides, it actually doesn’t make sense for the three of us to walk together. Although when facing certain problems, we can think from three different directions…”

“But it also means we are facing three different divergences. I suggest we split up and reunite in an hour and a half to share our findings.”

Yue Yun thought it made sense, and Nissen really wanted to join them, but in the end he accepted to act alone.

So, the three of them walked in three different directions.

……

……

Santa College is bustling at night. Although there are many lights on in the dormitory buildings, there are also many freshmen outside forming teams to hunt for treasures.

It’s almost tradition.

The seniors had given up long ago, so they didn’t care much about this matter.

Wen Xishu walked all the way to the edge of Santa Academy.

The gates of the academy are closed.

The Santa Pagoda Academy is an area that can be reached through the sequence. Once the door is closed, the outside world and the inside are completely isolated.

The reason why Wen Xishu chose to go to the border was because he wanted to confirm his guess.

This guess was unreliable, but Wen Xishu trusted his intuition.

At the edge of the Three Towers Academy is a towering wall.

If you have the attributes of the three towers, this kind of wall will naturally not be able to stop the students.

But in the marginal area, which has left the department area, students cannot use the properties of the three towers. It is absolutely impossible to climb over the super high wall of more than 60 meters.

Wen Xishu raised his head and looked around.

The dome is what people call the ceiling of the bunker.

The dome simulates night and day. During the day, the dome emits strong light, making the bunker bright.

Moonlight will also be simulated at night, but the bunker will be generally dim.

Just like the scene in Wen Xishu’s eyes at this moment, dim and silent.

Other teams were searching for treasure in the area closer to the center, but Wen Xishu came to the very edge of the academy.

It’s not that he thought there could be treasure here. In fact, he didn’t think the treasure would be in the traditional sense, hidden somewhere waiting to be unearthed.

Wen Xishu came here mainly to test something.

“Sure enough, my sequence…is invalid.”

Wen Xishu spent most of his time in the department area these days, and he felt it carefully.

Eventually he discovered that as long as he was in the department, he would have a special feeling.

It was very mysterious and hard to describe, but he knew that it was a special state after the sequence was activated.

The biggest feature of the system area is that you can use the attributes and sequences in the three towers.

But what puzzled Wen Xishu was why he could also use the sequence when he was in the library.

“In theory… that place belongs to the hospital area. I and everyone else in the hospital area cannot obtain the properties of the three towers.”

The effect of the crazy dice is aimed at the three towers, not the bunker. Wen Xishu does not think that his specialness comes from the crazy dice.

At least not this time.

In addition, the weird sequence can be effective no matter in the Desire Tower area or the Slaughter Tower area, which Wen Xishu does not think is outrageous.

But the fact that it could be effective in the hospital area made Wen Xishu feel incredible.

So he has been thinking about one thing, is it possible that the strange sequence is effective in all areas of the entire Three Towers Academy?

So Wen Xishu came to the edge of the school to verify this.

What surprised Wen Xishu was——

His sequence failed, and that magical feeling disappeared.

This means that, at the edge of the school, the sequence is inactive.

It was like returning to the normal area of ​​the bunker.

Therefore, Wen Xishu concluded:

“The effective range of my weird sequence does not cover the entire academy.”

“The edge of the school also belongs to the campus area. The attributes and panels in the three towers cannot be used in the campus area. This rule also applies to the weird department.”

“So when I was in the library, I saw mental bullets floating over other people’s heads… Does this mean that that place is not actually part of the campus?”

“But everyone in the library is just like ordinary people. Only I can use the sequence…”

“I seem to understand.”

Wen Xishu already had some guesses about the treasure of Santa Academy.

Now, he found that the truth was getting closer and closer to his guess.

……

……

Late at night, Yue Yun, Wen Xishu, and Nissen appeared outside the library of the campus.

Neeson shook his head:

“Yo~ Although I keep searching, the treasure is elusive. If you have any clues, please share them with me for reference.”

Yue Yun shook his head:

“There is no difference between the Three Towers Academy during the day and the Three Towers Academy at night. If you insist on saying there is a difference…”

“It’s just that all the buildings at night, especially those in the hospital area, appear a little hazy.”

Wen Xishu admired Yue Yun’s memory very much. No wonder he was able to get full marks in academic subjects with such a good memory.

It would be a shame if such a person didn’t go to the mysterious tower to decipher the secrets.

Yue Yun and Nissen both looked at Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu said:
“The library is closed, but we can climb up from the facade. We need to go to the top floor of the library.”

Yue Yun was puzzled:

“You’re going to break into the library? Are you planning on looking for information now?”

Wen Xishu shook his head:
“No, I don’t want to enter the library, but to reach the top floor of the library. Don’t you think… that thing looks like the Three Towers Academy?”

Wen Xishu’s hand pointed at the huge brass clover on top of the library.

The clover kept spinning, and in everyone’s eyes, it looked like a huge fan.

It looms over the library.

Yue Yun looked up. Neeson couldn’t figure out what was going on, but Yue Yun had a very good memory, almost a photographic memory.

After looking at it for a while, he immediately closed his eyes:
“The clover… Indeed, the outlines of the areas of the Lust Tower Academy and the Slaughter Tower Academy are very similar to the petals of this huge brass clover.”

“So… what does this mean? The Desire Tower area, the Slaughter Tower area, and the courtyard area form a three-leaf clover?”

Wen Xishu shook his head:
“It’s asymmetric, and we assume that this huge brass trefoil that looks like a fan is really a metaphor for the structure of the three-tower college.”

“Then the center points of the three petals are connected to form an equilateral triangle.”

Yue Yun nodded:

“continue.”

Wen Xishu said:
“Think about it carefully. The courtyard area, the killing tower area, and the desire tower area, if you put these three together, do they conform to an equilateral triangle structure?”

Nissen shook his head:

“It doesn’t match. The campus looks more like it encompasses two departmental areas. The campus is very large.”

Yue Yun seemed to understand:

“In other words, there is a certain area that can form an equilateral triangle structure with the Slaughter Tower area and the Desire Tower area?”

Wen Xishu still looked up at the sky:
“Yes. Otherwise, don’t you think that the design of this brass clover is inexplicable? The climate inside the bunker is pleasant, and I have no idea what the function of this thing is.”

Yue Yun suddenly realized, but then fell into doubt:

“But as far as I know, in the entire college, from a plan view, there is no area that can form a triangle structure with the two department areas…”

Wen Xishu smiled mysteriously:
“There’s nothing on the ground, but what about in the sky? Don’t just look at the x-axis, look at the z-axis as well.”

Considering that Wen Xishu wanted to climb the library, Yue Yun instantly understood the meaning of this sentence.

He looked to the sky.

I discovered that there really seemed to be some kind of strange aura that made the surrounding buildings hazy.

“Could it be that… there is a huge system in the sky? How is this possible?”

Wen Xishu said:
“If you think of treasure as something hidden in a corner that anyone can see as long as someone digs it out… then you are being too disrespectful to the seniors who have passed by.”

“The treasure may be invisible. Perhaps you can only sense it when you get close to a certain area.”

Neeson exclaimed.

There were many freshmen exploring for treasure at this time, but Nissen felt that his two friends were the most reliable.

He said:
“Wen! I think what you said is very right. Come on, let’s climb up. I have been doing parkour at the bottom since I was a child. Compared with my leg strength, my arm strength is even more amazing!”

Xiao Hei started climbing up like a happy monkey.

Wen Xishu discovered that Neeson’s movements were so standardized that they could be used for motion capture for Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed series.

He was a parkour enthusiast in his previous life, so he also developed a desire to win.

Wang Yueyun was naturally unwilling to lag behind others.

The three of them quickly used various fulcrums to begin climbing the tower quickly.

There are no safety measures and this kind of tower climbing basically only appears in movies.

But Yue Yun, Nissen, and Wen Xishu, none of them were afraid. Yue Yun was at the bottom, Wen Xishu was second, and Nissen was first.

Wen Xishu never thought that he would lose to others in something like parkour crawling.

Neeson does have a terrifying talent.

Yue Yun was two steps behind Wen Xishu and felt even more surprised.

He knew that Nissen must be talented in sports, but he didn’t expect Wen Xishu to be so exaggerated.

In the dark night, the three of them started racing and headed towards the top floor of the library.

While climbing, Wen Xishu felt… the familiar atmosphere that seemed to be felt after entering a strange tower.

“Whatever it is…it’s close.”

Wen Xishu was thinking silently and looking forward to it.
