Chapter 309 Invasion of the Brain Cell 17

The shower curtain was hung around the bathtub on an oval-shaped rail. The bottom was light blue in color and had darker floral pattern. Feng Bujue normally did not use this thing, but based on his exceptionally memory and his observation skills, he noticed something different about it.

"The color and shape of the pattern are different," Feng Bujue mumbled and pulled open the curtain to inspect it. He examined for a long time, but still, he could not work out what it represented. Even though he knew it was different from his memory, regarding its hidden message, Feng Bujue was baffled.

"Could it be the angle of observation is wrong?" Feng Bujue murmured, but his hands had not stopped moving. He turned the curtain around and around, folding it inside different shapes, but it was no use. "Wait... observation angle!"

Suddenly, a light bulb lit up above his head. He took out the flashlight from his pocket and switched it on. Then he walked to the door and turned off the light in the bathroom.

"When I arrived, the light was already on. Normally, no one would walk to turn off the lights," Feng Bujue said as he shone the flashlight at the curtain. "So... I have missed this."

At that moment, on the light blue curtain, the pattern turned into an obvious green, and some white lines started to appear. So, the clue had always been before him, but he could not ’see’ it. The message on the curtain could only be seen under certain conditions. When the white light of the bathroom was on, the clues would not be soon. But the yellow light from the flashlight successfully lit up the letters with green body and white trim.

"M... D... D... M... I... I... R..." Feng Bujue found many letters on the curtain. He thought they would form a word, but he realized that was not the case because most of the letters were repeated, and there was no logic to its arrangement. After he checked the entire curtain, he scratched his chin, "Hmm... There are seven letters in total, A, D, I, K, M, O, R. They appear in different frequencies and sequences. What is..."

He took several steps back and studied the curtain.

"Could it be related to XY axis? Or is it a 3d image? Or... Oh!"

Then he saw the solution. He took out the notebook and pen and wrote down the letters on the curtain in a more rigid format. Several minutes later, the puzzle was solved.

"So, one only needs to arrange it and then eliminate the rest through match-pairing..." Feng Bujue looked down on the difficulty of this puzzle, and he got the correct answer easily. It did not take long for him to solve it. All the Ds, As, and Ks had been removed, and the remaining letters... if he ignored their horizontal position, lining them up according to the X axis, with them spaced one coordinate across from each other, they formed a word—mirror.

"So, all that just for me to turn to the mirror..." He returned to the sink, placed his flashlight at the side, and focused on the mirror. But he stood for one minute, and nothing happened. "I stared at the mirror like this earlier, and I didn’t see any hint or trigger any event. But now that I’ve solved the puzzle, how come... Hmm, could it be that?"

He seemed to have an idea again. He took up the notebook and looked at the letters that he had wiped away.

"The letters that I’ve lost are D, A, and K... If I add that with the letter that appeared the most, R, then..." Feng Bujue chuckled. "Hah... So, that is what it meant."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa... wait." Feng Bujue cut him off. "I haven’t finished my questions. Don’t go running off with the setting just yet. You at least have to answer my first question—can I turn the light back on?"

"Hmm... Yes," the face in the mirror replied.

Feng Bujue sought his way to the door and switched on the light. Then he returned to the mirror to ask, "Okay, who are you? Zordon?"

"Huh?" The face was confused. "Who is Zordon?"

"The alien Zordon," Feng Bujue said matter-of-factly, "The commander of the Power Rangers, the face in the glass tube."

Despite Feng Bujue’s explanation, the face was still baffled.

"Er... I have no idea who you’re talking abo..." the face stuttered.

"Then forget it." Feng Bujue cut him off impolitely again. "It’s fine if you have not seen it. The theme song is incredibly catchy. You won’t get it out of your mind that easily."

"Er... I am the boss’ assistant, the magic mirror." The magic mirror did not know how to face Feng Bujue, so he tried to lead the topic back.

"Oh, so your actual body is the face inside the mirror and not the mirror itself," Feng Bujue concluded.

"I suppose you can say that..."

"Say... what is your relationship with Cang Jing Ren[1]?"

"Who is this Cang Jing Ren?"

"You can read my memory, but you don’t know the Power Rangers and Cang Jing Ren?" Feng Bujue asked suddenly. All that nonsense was actually a probe.

"I can only see limited pieces of your memory and not all of your memory," the magic mirror answered.

"Oh, okay." Feng Bujue got the answer he wanted and calmed down a lot. He said with a smile, "Now, you can continue telling me about the third trial."
