Chapter 40 The First Mistake

"The London Bridge mentioned in the nursery rhyme actually refers to that bridge." Cheng Mo pointed to his left hand side. In that direction, a shorter single-story arch bridge stood in the thin mist. "Where we are now One, because it is located next to the Tower of London, its English name is TowerBridge, which translates to 'London Tower Bridge'."

"Tower Bridge is more spectacular and has a special opening and closing structure. Many people have always confused these two bridges. The earliest version of this nursery rhyme can be traced back to the 16s[Note 50], while Tower Bridge The decision to build it was made at the end of the 1th century, so it cannot be the Tower Bridge that the song is referring to."

"On the contrary, London Bridge was built by the Romans around AD 50. It was originally a wooden bridge. The bridge was burned by the order of King Athelred II [Note 1014] in 2 when he resisted the invasion of foreign enemies [Note 3] [-]], according to research, the bridge burning incident may be the story described in this nursery rhyme, 'London Bridge has collapsed'."

What Cheng Mo said was reasonable and well-founded, while Kong Tong's face turned pale, as if he didn't expect that the young boy who didn't pay attention to him at first would grasp the details of the incident all at once, and couldn't help but look a little unhappy.The feeling of being slapped in the face by a novice is really not good, Kong Tong was speechless for a while, but... he then thought of a new focus.

"According to what you said, if you notice the mistakes in the game, theoretically there should be rewards. What about rewards?" He rolled his eyes and asked with a half-smile.

Indeed nothing happened.Cheng Mo waited for a while, and after confirming that the prompt sound of system rewards would not be triggered like the previous levels, he calmly admitted: "It seems that there are indeed no reward measures. Maybe I guessed wrong, or this sentence The words don’t really have any special meaning at all.”

He noticed the children who were also standing in the safe zone.One, two, three, four, five, six, except for the little girl who fell into the thick fog, there were six children left.These children turned their backs to them, and looked at the place where the little girl in red was swallowed by the bridge just now. Their figures were blurred in the thick fog.Losing a companion doesn't touch them very much, they act like they are driven by emotionless equations, every move is just a set pattern.But now, these children are the only NPCs here, if you want to find a breakthrough, you still have to start with them.

Cheng Mo glanced at Qin Chuhe, and saw the same message as he thought in the latter's eyes, and the two walked towards the children in the thick fog together.And Kongtong seemed afraid of being left behind, and when he saw them making a move, he hurriedly followed them, as if he was afraid of missing any information.

The closer you got to these children, the thicker the fog became. In the end, Cheng Mo's eyes were filled with small water droplets floating in the air that had almost condensed into substance.Worried about being separated from Qin Chuhe in the fog, Cheng Mo grabbed his arm and felt a slight shock from Qin Chuhe, and then slowly returned to hold his hand.

"Be careful." Qin Chuhe pulled him suddenly, and Cheng Mo stopped, only to realize that they had reached the middle of the group of children at some point, and almost bumped into one of them.

The children were disturbed by the noise they made, their necks suddenly turned 180 degrees, and they caught their eyes off guard.Cheng Mo was startled, and took a step back and bumped into Qin Chuhe's chest.

The five senses of these children are all misplaced.Some people have several lips on their faces, while others have only one eye on their entire face. It looks as if someone has broken up all their facial features and spliced ​​them randomly on different faces.Their bodies still kept facing the center of the bridge, only the faces with dislocated features were all twisted towards them in unison.

"What's the matter?" The face with five mouths opened his mouth. When he spoke, his lips opened and closed in unison, but they made different voices. "We are about to start a new round of the game."

"There are so many open spaces on the other side of the bridge, why do you want to play games here?"

The child was silent for a while.

"Because we made mistakes." Only one mouth opened, it was a thin boy's voice, and the other mouths were closed angrily, "Every time the bridge opens, we will play this game until someone loses." Yes. Those who lose will be eaten by the bridge, which is punishment."

"What mistake did you make?"

The child flinched a little, and for the first time a somewhat frightened expression appeared on his face with missing facial features, his several mouths seemed to be unable to unify their opinions, and they quarreled endlessly as if suddenly turned upside down.When the two mouths quarreled, they spoke very fast, and Cheng Mo could only distinguish a few fragmented words, such as "can't say", "error", "regulation" and so on.The mouths quarreled for a while before they quieted down again.

"We stole Mommy's freshly baked pie." The child lowered his head, and the rest of the children did the same in unison.

"Mother?"

"Mom will be in charge of supervising until the bridge is completed." The child nodded solemnly, and the rest of the children shook their heads together, "At that time, the bridge was just half built, and my mother delivered deliveries to the bridge builders every day. She Kids who don't let us eat and warn us to steal pie will be punished."

"But one day, Tom couldn't help it, and quietly took a pie that Mom had just baked." Another high-pitched voice came out, it was another child with only one eye and one mouth, "Tom never ate Having had such a delicious pie, he broke the news to Peter, who was his best friend. Tom said to Peter..."

"Mommy baked a lot of pies, and this is the best pie I've ever eaten. I'm only telling you, if it's just the two of us stealing it, Mommy won't find out." The rest of the children sang together, "Peter swore to Tom and then said the same thing Tom had said to him to Jenny, who was Peter's best friend."

"Jenny told Jane, and Jane told George, and everyone went and stole a pie from Mama, and by the time Mama came back, the pie was half gone." The first baby cried, "Mama said, didn't get it Workers were sent to tamper with the bridge, and the bridge would break again and again, and only the most suitable materials could bring the deck back together forever."

He cut off the conversation suddenly, and all six heads turned in the other direction—the outline of Big Ben looming in the mist.

"It's time, we're going to start playing games." The boy glanced at them, then suddenly turned his eyes to Kongtong, "Tell me, this time, what will the bridge be made of?"

Kongtong was caught off guard by the question, and couldn't help being stunned for a moment. Fortunately, he was also a person who had struggled in various dungeons, and he recovered his composure after a few seconds.I saw his eyeballs rolling twice, like a flash of inspiration, he hammered his palm with his fist, and said:

"Iron bar."

The boy nodded, and walked towards the center of the bridge hand in hand with the rest of his friends.At this moment, the bridge deck was closed again, and Cheng Mo saw that the little girl in red clothes who had fallen before reappeared at some point. This time, she and another boy Cheng Mo was sure he had never seen before played the role of bridge arch.The fog in the center of the bridge was thick, and only the heads and clothes corners of these children could be seen constantly appearing and disappearing, and the familiar song slowly sounded.

【London Bridge is falling down, falling down.】

【London Bridge is falling down, my fairlady.】

【Builditupwithironbars, ironbars, ironbars.】

【Builditupwithironbars, myfairlady.】

The difference from before is that there is an extra paragraph in this ballad, and the newly added lyrics coincide exactly with what Kongtong said.Kongtong heaved a sigh of relief, and glanced at Cheng Mo and Qin Chuhe with suppressed complacency.

"Guess casually, but you guessed it right." He touched his chin, as if he was kind enough to give them a science introduction, "This song has three sections, the first section is the one they sang at the beginning, and the second section is builditwithironbars, the last paragraph is withsilverandgold. Of course, the iron bar will break, and a child should die this time. After answering 'gold and silver', the bridge deck should be able to open permanently."

【Ironbars will bend and break, bend and break, bend and break.】

【Ironbars will bend and break, my fairlady.】

Sure enough, the song was still going on.When the last sentence ends abruptly, a new child is circled in the middle.The bridge deck opened, and he also fell into the thick fog like the previous child.

Next, Kong Tong answered the last verse of the song "Silver and Gold". When the children started a new verse, he grinned at Cheng Mo and Qin Chuhe in a somewhat artificial way:

"Sorry, you guys solved this puzzle first, I won this game."

Qin Chuhe glanced at him lightly, and said, "What are you in a hurry for?"

"Why, such an obvious answer, can it still be false?" Kong Tong smiled confidently, and sarcastically said, "Young man, you must be able to afford to lose."

Cheng Mo, who had been staring at the children silently, frowned, suddenly realized a very important fact, and took a sharp breath.

"Unfortunately, the answer is probably not what you said." He turned his gaze back and looked calmly at the somewhat complacent man, "Beware of mistakes. I didn't expect the second mistake to be made by the player himself."
