Happy Tycoon

Yang Jing used to use some download software to download some blockbuster American movies in his free time, whether he was studying at a university in China or studying in the UK.

There was no way, Yang Jing was poor at that time, if you asked him to spend tens of dollars a week to go to the movies, he didn't have that spare money.

So Yang Jing has watched some classic American blockbusters.

Yang Jing remembered that there used to be some blockbuster fragments that had some ways to solve puzzles, such as writing some numbers at the back of a book. In fact, these numbers have no other meaning, these numbers just represent the content of the book. Page number, line number, and word number on the line.

Just like in the Unidentified starring American movie star Liam Neeson, Liam Neeson played a scientist who lost his memory due to a car accident. Some numbers recorded at the end of the book unlock some secrets about him before he lost his memory.

There is also the Journey to the Center of the Earth 2 in which Dashi Johnson appeared. At the beginning, Dashi Johnson helped his adopted son unravel the fragments about the location of the mysterious island, and they all solved the mystery in similar ways. problematic.

Of course, if you haven't watched those mind-blowing movies, ordinary people will definitely not understand the numbers recorded in the notebook in Yang Jing's hand.

But it is a pity that when Yang Jing calmed down and looked at these figures and one of the books, fragments of those Hollywood blockbusters he had seen before appeared in his mind.

Why don't you just try it? Anyway, it doesn't take much trouble. Yang Jing said to himself, while opening the Spirit of the Law that he just took out.

This book is Montesquieu's masterpiece, and it is listed as one of the 100 masterpieces that influenced the world in later generations.

The book in front of me is exactly the kind of book published in 1942 recorded in the notebook. In the notebook, the first number after the year of publication of this book is 112, so Yang Jing tried to turn to the first number of this book. 112 pages.

Following the number 112 are two numbers, 8 and 12.

So Yang Jing found the 12th word on the 8th line of page 112 according to the number, and found that the letter was a word beginning with a capital K——Kabugao.

If this word is connected with the preceding and following words to form a sentence, Yang Jing can understand what it means, but Yang Jing can't quite understand what it means when it is taken alone.

But what is certain is that, according to the original meaning of the book, this Kabugao should represent a place name, but unfortunately, Yang Jing has never heard of such a place name, nor does he know that Montesquieu was Where did such a place name come from.

The most important thing is that Montesquieu was a Frenchman. When he wrote the Spirit of the Law, he should have written it in French, but this book was published in English, so Yang Jing did not It is not sure whether this Kabugao is a French place name or an English place name.

Unfortunately, there is no Internet available around me, and there is no Du Niang or Wikipedia to look up, so Yang Jing can only write down this letter.

Afterwards, Yang Jing took out the Origin of Species published in 1935 according to the name of the second book recorded in the notebook. After looking through the three numbers recorded in the notebook, he finally determined the second book. A word—Pilipinas.

Yang Jing knew this word, it was the English name of Philippines.

This discovery made Yang Jing a little excited. Now that the Philippines appeared, what words would appear in the third book?

According to the title of the third book written in the notebook, Yang Jing searched for a long time, but couldn't find the book. Obviously, this book should have been taken away by Madam Vanessa back then.

This small blow caused Yang Jing's excited mood to suffer 10086 points of damage immediately.

The two words he found just now made Yang Jing vaguely guess that if he could completely decipher the numbers and book titles recorded in this notebook, it should point to a clear place, but at a critical moment, a The key books are not at hand.

This. This is too damn meow.

It was a terrible feeling that the excitement that had just arisen was suddenly interrupted. Even though Yang Jing had experienced so many things, at this moment, it was inevitable that he would want to smash something to vent his anger.

But fortunately, apart from the bookshelves, books and this big solid desk, there is nothing in this big study that Yang Jing can vent to. It saved the servants from the crisis of cleaning the study.

He took out a cigarette from the storage space and lit it, took two deep puffs, feeling a little dizzy, Yang Jing slowly calmed down.

After strangling the cigarette after taking two puffs, Yang Jing took two deep breaths, then sat down at the desk again, and slowly deciphered the things recorded in the notebook again.

It doesn't matter if there are not all the books, it doesn't matter if you don't understand the meaning of these extracted words, it doesn't even matter if the deciphering method is right or not, the important thing is to get the existing things at hand first.

He kept busy until Butler Seldon came in again to greet Yang Jing for dinner, then Yang Jing reluctantly put the piece of paper with more than ten words on it into the storage space carefully.

Although the dozen or so words that Yang Jing deciphered were somewhat incoherent because of the incompleteness of those books, but Yang Jing still found some clues from the more than ten words that deciphered.

For example, a total of 12 words have been deciphered now. Among the fifteen words, there are three Pilipinas in total, and two are the names of the islands, namely Mindoro and Mairnduque.

The reason why he knows these two words represent two islands is also because Yang Jing knows these two islands. Mindoro is Mindoro Island in the Philippines, and Mairnduque is another small island in the Philippines, Marinduque Island.

This discovery made Yang Jing feel a little distracted even when eating, even though the Mexican food cooked by Chef Carlos is really delicious, but now Yang Jing's mind is full of those twelve words.

If your method of deciphering is correct, then these fifteen words point to at least three places, but because the third book is not at hand, it is impossible to find out the hidden meaning contained in the third book. What is the word.

But judging from the fifteen words deciphered, two of them have clearly pointed to Mindoro Island and Marinduque Island in the Philippines, but most of the remaining words were not used by Yang Jing. For the place names I have heard of, you need to find Du Niang or Wikipedia to check carefully to determine what those words mean.

After finishing the meal in a hurry, under Chef Carlos's somewhat resentful eyes, Yang Jing plunged into the study again, and worked until midnight before picking out all the words in the more than 30 books at hand. out.

Although he was a little tired at this time, Yang Jing was extremely excited. After he returned to his bedroom, he didn't even sleep at all. Instead, he locked the door and traveled back to the original time and space.

He stayed in the time and space of 1988 for about ten days, but in the original time and space, Yang Jing just disappeared for more than a day.

When returning to the original time and space, the sky had just darkened, and there was no one around. Yang Jing didn't care about these anymore. After taking out the inflatable tent from the storage space and inflating it, he got into the tent.

It was too cold outside, Yang Jing didn't want to freeze himself into a popsicle.

He took out his laptop, because this place does not go deep into the Rocky Mountains, so the mobile phone signal here is relatively strong. After connecting to the wireless signal with his mobile phone, Yang Jing began to search for the deciphered signal from the laptop. those words.

As words whose meanings were not clear were found by Wikipedia one by one, Yang Jing became more and more excited.

Without him, these originally unclear words are indeed some place names!

For example, the word Kabugao that was first deciphered was actually Kabugao, a small town located in the mountains in the north of Luzon Island in the Philippines.

And according to the rules of other deciphered words, the word that cannot be known because the third book is not around is very likely to be the word Luzon, which means Luzon Island.

Apparently, the names of the books recorded in the notebook were used to determine the source of the location.

For example, this Kabugao was finally identified as Cabugao, Luzon Island, Philippines through three words hidden in three different books.

And this place, which can be easily found through Google Maps, is a small city located in the Cordillera Mountains at the northern end of Luzon Island, with the Abulu River passing around the city.

Because this small town is located in the valley of the Ablu River, the altitude is not high, but around the small town, especially going north, there are some mountains with an altitude of hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters. This small town is a small town surrounded by mountains in the absolute sense.

The other five places found are also in the Philippines, but except for one place, which is in the middle of the Cordillera Mountains like Cabugao, the other four places are in the Among the four islands of the Philippines.

By this time, Yang Jing already understood what the inexplicable things recorded in Alfred's notes were. This guy was obviously hiding some places. Or it may be that he found some locations through certain clues, and then hid them in this way.

If it's the latter, it means that the places Alfred inquired back then are likely to hide some secrets, and that's why he used this method to hide those places so carefully.

So, what secrets are hidden in these places?
