They returned to the secret room where the wicker witch's coffin was sealed. Where Xu Qing was originally, there was only a tablet marking the death of the player, and the machete of the red carp was on the side.Seeing them coming back, Red Carp didn't say anything, just turned his head away silently, and sat aside in some silence.

Cheng Mo had no time to think about other things, Xu Qing's words could not be lingered in his mind, and the reminder he received at the last moment of the collapse of the illusion solved all the problems that had been troubling him.He placed the seven cue cards he had obtained since entering the dungeon on the ground in sequence.

【1F2C46】【2D383D】【423F3A】【3D1E4B】【1F401E】【402C2F】。

These seven sets of codes seem to be irregular at first glance, but no matter from the Morse code that helped Li Mi escape from the predicament at the beginning, or the fence code at the seal of the wicker witch, it can be seen that this dungeon is extremely focused on code interpretation, and from the corridor Judging from the discarded telegraphs in China, it seems that Morse code is more preferred.

Morse code is represented by dots and dashes. Since it only consists of two basic symbols, it can also be represented by binary representation of 0 and 1. 0 represents dots and 1 represents dashes. In this way, Morse code can be encoded twice using binary.

With the idea of ​​binary encoding in mind, the characters given on the cue cards are easy to understand - English letters up to F, they are all hexadecimal representations of binary codes.

What really troubled Cheng Mo was the next step, converting the hexadecimal to binary and then corresponding to the Morse code table.

First of all, for [1F2C46], convert it into binary to [000111110010110001000110], then the corresponding Morse code is [···-,----,··-·,--··,·-··,·-- ·】, converted into corresponding characters, becomes 【VFZLP】, and the string of symbols that are decoded cannot correspond to the prompt password at all.

Cheng Mo's decoding process was stuck at this step, and there was no progress for a long time, but the last hint Xu Qing gave made him finally enlightened!

Xu Qing said, "effective bit".

Everything would be different if the effective bits were taken into account.

Looking at these seven sets of passwords, it can be found that the number of odd digits does not exceed four, and the binary number converted from one hexadecimal is exactly four digits.So is it possible to guess like this-odd digits do not encode Morse code, but indicate the effective digits of the subsequent even digits?

According to this idea, the seven groups of passwords are re-decoded. First, for [1F2C46], 1, 2, and 4 respectively indicate the effective digits of the following F, C, and 6.According to the above analysis, [FC6] can be decomposed into Morse code as [----, --··,·--·], taking the lower 1 digit, lower 2 digits and all 4 digits respectively, you can get [-, ··, ·--·], the corresponding Morse code is...

【T, I, P】——TIP!

That's right!It turns out that odd bits are really effective bits and do not participate in the real decoding process!No wonder I had no clue before.Cheng Mo secretly squeezed his fist, and translated all the remaining reminder cards according to this idea.

【2D383D】——[·-,···,-·-]——ASK.

【423F3A】——[··-·,---,·-·]——FOR.

【3D1E4B】——[-·-,·,-·--]——KEY.

【1F401E】——[-,····,·]——THE.

【402C2F】——[····,··, --]——HIM.

TIP: ASK HIMFOR THE KEY.

—Ask him for a key?Who does this "he" refer to?

Cheng Mo looked up at the rest of the people. Like him, Lou Lan and Red Carp looked puzzled. Luo Ziwen timidly shrank aside, seemingly unable to express any opinions. Only Qin Chuhe nodded and said calmly:

"This 'HIM' has two meanings. It is not only a reminder, but also implies the owner, we need to ask Xu Zhuo for the key."

"But Xu Zhuo...has disappeared with Xu Qing?" Lou Lan looked at Qin Chuhe.

"Xu Zhuo exists in this dungeon based on the player's memories of him. Since Xu Qing's memory created the Xu Zhuo in that illusion, then..." Qin Chuhe turned his gaze to Lou Lan, "You also have a Xu Zhuo in your memory. "

<<

In the snow-white room, the sound of seagulls came from outside the window, and the light-colored curtains were blown by the slightly damp sea breeze.

A handsome young man was half leaning on the bed, wearing a beige sweater, his black hair made his complexion as white as snow.He stared fixedly at the seagulls circling the sea outside the window, and the white clouds hung high in the sky.He didn't make a sound, but just watched with rapt attention, a little lonely and a little envious.

Cheng Mo opened the door and saw such a scene.Although it is sunny and warm like spring here, the young man's shoulders seem to be covered with snow.

He moved his lips and said softly:

"Xu Zhuo."

Xu Zhuo didn't move or speak. After a long time, as if he finally got out of the long memory, he turned his head and looked at him and Qin Chuhe beside him.Xu Zhuo smiled, not surprised at all:

"You are here."

"We came to you for the key, the key to get out of here."

Xu Zhuo looked at the ticking clock on the wall and said, "It's still early, let me tell you a story."

"Once upon a time there was a boy who was always excellent and well-behaved. His parents divorced when he was very young, and he lived with his father, aunt and half-brother. Although he was excellent, but for some reason, He has always been single and has never been with any girl. In the year when his work improved slightly, his family introduced him to a well-matched and beautiful girl, and they got together logically and without any obstacles .”

"Although he is very good, his brother who is a few years younger than him is an out-and-out destructive madman. The younger brother has a surly personality, the relationship with the family has always been tense, and he is arrogant to him. My girlfriend has never liked my brother, and my brother has never I didn't think about him, the two quarreled constantly as soon as they met, and broke up unhappy every time, and they seldom met each other over time."

"He was caught in a dilemma between his girlfriend and his brother. Until one day, he learned from his parents that he had to be engaged to the girl in a week. That night, he had a long, long dream, but forgot that he What did you dream about?"

"After waking up, he was here." Xu Zhuo looked out of the window as if rubbing into the golden sun and the sparkling sea, "He was alone, in this house, every day he woke up was the same. The sea, the warm sun, the circling seagulls, day after day, the days just repeat themselves.”

Xu Zhuo laughed a little amusedly, rubbed his wrists under the quilt, and a small piece of golden chain slipped from the corner of the quilt.

Cheng Mo was shocked - Xu Zhuo was actually locked here.

"Sometimes when I think back on the past, I feel a little dazed, and I can't tell which side is real and which side is fake. Is it the real him with the surly younger brother and the fiancee who is about to get engaged, or the current one? Is he really trapped in this small house forever? He should love my fiancée very much, but I don’t know when my brother’s face began to appear in his mind.” Xu Zhuo looked at them, “Is he sick? gone?"

"Why does it feel very, very painful when I think of my brother?"

Xu Zhuo, who remained in Loulan's memory, was endowed with the instinct of "deeply loving Loulan", but the real Xu Zhuo loved Xu Qing.In Loulan's world, Xu Zhuo is like a spotless prince who should not be soiled by the worldly filth brought by Xu Qing.In the depths of her memory, only by building an isolated island and imprisoning him in this small house at the end of the world forever can Xu Zhuo remain the same forever in her heart.This house is like the pine resin that traps insects, only in this way can it keep the belongings in their most beautiful appearance.

"If it was not him who was ordered to marry, but his younger brother, what would he choose?" Qin Chuhe looked at him unmoved, "I think he should have the answer in his heart."

Xu Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and after a while, his eyes widened in disbelief.His eyes suddenly brightened, like a suddenly lit candle, and a smile escaped from the corner of his mouth:

"That's it, I know."

"I would rather get married by myself than watch my younger brother enter the marriage hall with others." Xu Zhuo shook his head, feeling a little sad suddenly, "Actually, it shouldn't be like this, it's unfair to that girl, she has always been kept in the dark inside."

"Don't worry, the wedding is not going on. That girl... must have forgiven them." Qin Chuhe said.

The wall clock rang the hour, and from the end of the sea, a high white wall suddenly rose!It was a huge wave soaring to the sky, shining in the sun's rays.At the same time, a deep tremor came from deep underground.

Xu Zhuo took off a bunch of keys from his neck and threw them towards Qin Chuhe:

"Last prompt, 0x37."

<<

"Why are you only coming back now! This place is going to collapse!" Lou Lan's stern voice brought Cheng Mo back to reality.

When he came back to his senses, the entire secret room was shaking violently, and ominous sounds of water came from all sides.Something broke the airtight structure of the shipwreck, and seawater was pouring into the cabin from all directions!

Fortunately, the door has appeared.A dark red wooden door suddenly appeared in the center of Hecate's Wheel, which sealed the wicker witch, and the key was already in their hands.

There are roughly forty keys in this bunch, each with a small serial number.Xu Zhuo gave them the key, but did not tell them the serial number, but the last reminder was enough for Cheng Mo.

Qin Chuhe dragged Cheng Mo to the door, and Cheng Mo shouted:

"The seventh one!" 0x37 is ASCII code 7!

Qin Chuhe tore off the seventh key, stuffed it into the door without a moment's hesitation, and turned it around.

The door is open!

Qin Chuhe slammed Cheng Mo into the door, and pulled Lou Lan who was following him into the door. Just as he turned around to grab the red carp, his pupils constricted suddenly!

The red carp, who was only one step away from the wooden door, looked at the bloody sharp blade passing through its front belly in disbelief. The thing looked far away, but it was very familiar.

Luo Ziwen behind her pulled out the blood blade expressionlessly, and the bloody knife disintegrated and then reassembled into her pale and thin hand.The little girl smiled with the corners of her mouth crooked, and immediately turned into a pool of dark red sticky blood, enveloping all the red carp that had fallen to the ground.

The wooden door closed slowly in front of Cheng Mo's eyes, and the wriggling liquid calmed down.At the last second when the field of vision went black, the huge wave broke through the barrier of the secret room, disintegrating everything in front of him, leaving only the wooden sign with the name of the red carp floating in the gray sea water.

At that moment, Cheng Mo remembered the content on the last cue card.

Don't trust.
