Now he was in the closet. So he had to shift back the part that limits the closet with the cupboard in front of him. Chioujen stood up and began to grope the wall. Just before shifting the wall, Chioujen gave up his intention. He didn't know how to open the sliding wall from the inside. It wouldn't be funny at all if he got stuck there because he didn't know how to open the wall. Chioujen then moved the wooden wall but did not completely cover the back of the cupboard. Only cover half of it. After that, he checked every inch of the wall.
Finally, he found something at the top of the wall. There were three buttons on the top. For a moment, he hesitated again, but in the end, he had the courage to move the wall completely so that the closet where he was standing was tightly closed. Just as the wall closed completely, Chioujen heard a "click." He was certain that it was an automatic lock mechanism.
To open the wall from the outside was to first press the combination of buttons on the two levers before moving the two levers. In order to open it from the inside, Chioujen tried to push the buttons at the top of the wall one by one. After trying several times, he finally succeeded. Turned out he had to press each button three times. After a "click" sound came from the device, he could move the wall so that the barrier between the closet and the cupboard was wide open.
Chioujen shifted the wall again. After closing it completely, he observed the wall's surface from the inside. Unlike the outer side, which was the inner side of the cupboard, the inner side of this wall was not plain. There was a painting there. The picture was painted on the surface of the wooden wall. Indeed, the image had faded, maybe because it had been so long. The object in the painting was an endless wall. The long wall was depicted snaking like a snake. Chioujen guessed that the long wall was the legendary long wall that existed in the old world where their ancestors lived thousands of years ago.
The old world where their ancestors came from was not homogeneous. There were various cultures and civilizations there. During the great migration, all the countries sent their inhabitants into space on giant colony spaceships. According to the history that Chioujen learned at school, there were about a hundred fleets departing from the old world. Each fleet comprised hundreds of colony spaceships.
Not everyone was willing to leave the old world. What would happen to the people who chose to stay there?
One of the important regions or countries in the old world was the place where the ancestors of Chioujen and many other people came from. In that area, a legendary wall was an essential part of the history of their ancestral civilization. The wall was built long before the great migration. Even the first construction of a section of the wall took place over two thousand years before the people there left their planet.
Unlike Jenqyih or Shannchyuan, who were very fond of studying things related to the old world, Chioujen, like most people in the new world, knew very little about the history of their ancestral civilization in the old world. So he couldn't remember any more information. The painting aroused curiosity in Chioujen. He promised himself not to forget to ask Shannchyuan or Jenqyih about it when he got home. Chioujen hoped he would make it through the night without encountering more difficulties than he had been through.
But the painting had nothing to do with how to open the Dog Door. So it was clear that no matter how much information Chioujen remembered, it wouldn't make things any better. Chioujen lay down again inside the closet. He kicked the Dog Door again. But this time, he felt something different from the part of the wall he kicked. He quickly got up and looked at the Dog Door again. The plate now looked nothing like before. Chioujen felt the entire surface of the plate. When his hand pulled the bottom of the plate, it turned out that he could open it. The Dog's door could open easily. The plate opened towards him. So it's like when people open the hood of a car. It turned out that there were conditions to open the Dog Door. The first was that the closet must be closed. And the second was that the plate must be pulled, not pushed.
