This is one of the pleasures of decoding.

Often, an unexpected spark of inspiration is the key to break a deadlock.

And then everything becomes clear.

Hearing Leonard Churchill’s words, Camilla and Tracy Garcia were simultaneously stunned.

Immediately their faces revealed surprised delight and intense anticipation.

Tracy Garcia asked, perplexed, “A key?”

Leonard’s eyes gradually deepened, nodding, “Yes! More accurately, it is the ‘key’ to decryption.”

He looked at the Spirit Communicator, adding, “Your previous words inspired me!”

Tracy Garcia was completely baffled, pointing at herself, “Uh…I…what did I just say?”

She was so confused by Leonard’s reaction that she started to doubt herself.

It sounded as though she had found a critical clue?

Camilla listened and tried to remember what Tracy had said, but she clearly couldn’t figure it out.

Leonard found the solution. His eyes bright, he explained directly, “The labyrinth and this secret room are one entity! We cannot limit our puzzle-solving thought process to the murals in this secret room. The labyrinth we walked through before is the actual solution to these puzzles.”

After a pause, he continued: “In simpler terms. The path we took before serves as the key, and the text in this room is the cipher. The previous labyrinth is a Rubik’s cube, this secret room, is also a Rubik’s cube! Solving the route of the labyrinth, in fact, we have already held the method to break the stalemate in our hands.”

This is the simplest way to hide information in cryptography.

The difficulty lies here.

If you can’t think in that direction, no matter how hard you wrack your brains, you still won’t figure it out.

With this explanation, Camilla seemed to understand something, looking at the symbols on the bricks: “You mean, we need to scramble these symbols, and then reassemble them using a specific thought process?”

“Yes!”

Leonard nodded, adding, “The craftsman who once built this labyrinth hid a cipher in their carvings. The sequence of the words is not as we see it, but has been hidden.”

Tracy’s lively eyes blinked lightly, and she also realized what was going on, saying, “I get it too!”

However, both women tried to recall the route they had taken, but some memories had already become blurry.

And how should they scramble them?

Should they write down each symbol on a paper, cut it out, and put them together like a puzzle?

No need!

If Leonard could explain it, he obviously doesn’t need others to remember it. He clearly remembers that route.

This was their path when they first entered the Underground Palace.

If you consider this square secret room as a twistable “Rubik’s Cube”, then the tiles with symbols on the walls are movable “diamonds”.

Following this twisting order, the brick will leave its original position.

And then form a new arrangement.

In Leonard’s mind, the symbols he remembered began to move automatically.

By the time he finished speaking, his mind had already twisted all the Rubik’s cubes into their final positions, revealing several consecutive mysterious symbols: V…

It doesn’t necessarily need to follow just one path, but the final result all points to the same conclusion!

That’s an ingenious design!

Leonard felt a surge of excitement he had not felt in a long time.

He recognized them.

The meanings of those characters in ancient Tarun language are: the hidden passage.

And everything became clear in an instant.

But even if he didn’t recognize them, it’s okay.

The method of escaping the labyrinth is not about activating some mechanism, nor is it about recognizing Tarun symbols, but understanding the logic!

Leonard walked over and tapped on the two symbols that were far apart.

This tapping action seemed to trigger the judgment mechanism of the Alternate Dimension.

As soon as he tapped on the last character, the Enlightenment displayed, “You have found a secret passage out of the labyrinth. Congratulations on solving the Grand Cemetery Labyrinth.”

“I found it!”

A slight movement flickered between Leonard’s brows and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

This proved that his previous reasoning was entirely correct.

The puzzle was now solved, and his thoughts became clear in an instant.

Three thousand years ago, the Craftsmen built this tomb, and the king chose to keep the secret and silence everyone. One of the Craftsmen was prepared in advance, so he had covertly added an escape route in the design of the maze. He had also hidden information about the secret passage in these carvings in a brilliant way.

Not only Leonard saw the Enlightenment, but Camilla and Tracy Garcia also did.

Tracy Garcia’s crystal eyes widened in disbelief: Had they found the exit so quickly?

They had just watched Leonard put a bunch of theories into practice, and before their minds could catch up with their thoughts, they saw him lightly tapping on several bricks.

And then, the Enlightenment appeared.

There was an air of unrealness, as if in a dream.

Tracy Garcia couldn’t help exclaiming with excitement, “Sister Camilla, we can get out now!”

Camilla was also surprised.

But her joy only stayed on her face for a moment.

Immediately after, she seemed to think of something, her expression turned complex, and she muttered to herself: did we… did we survive…

Leonard also let out a long sigh of relief.

The joy of solving the labyrinth put him in a very peculiar state.

Truly understanding the ingenious design of the labyrinth, the moment it’s solved, would provide a sense of spiritual satisfaction transcending fleshly desires.

Looking at the carvings scattered throughout the secret room, he murmured to himself, feeling emotional, “The encryption techniques of that craftsman back then were truly spectacular.”

Hiding clues amidst such complex carvings while ensuring the original content makes sense requires computational power that cannot be achieved by ordinary human thought..
