Chapter 29 Perfect Escape Serial Riddle

Yu Zhen took a piece of paper in the drawer, picked out a pencil from the pen holder, and wrote the paint on the top of the door on the paper.

Secret duneship.

The new word or sentence that changes these 14 letters must satisfy 3 Es, 2 Ss, and the remaining 9 letters.

Yu Zhen dare not say how outstanding his memory is, but he almost has a photographic memory.When he used the English dictionary, he noticed that the part with the thickest number of pages is S, followed by C and P; that is, among the existing English words, S, C, and P appear most frequently as the first letter. The most used letter is E, for example, the three words he just wrote on paper contain 3 Es.

Then, first change the position according to the frequency.

While listing the words, he read: "Words that start with S, contain at least one E, and are contained in the remaining 1 letters are: secure (safe), sheet (sheet), sheep (sheep), speed (speed), she (her), species (species)..."

Du Yu added bricks and tiles to the side: "spies (spy), sprite (elf), see (see), seed (seed), sense (feeling), sunset (sunset)...or the sentence Sheis...; if you remove the letter E conditions, as well as sprint (sprint), sin (sin), sun (sun), sit (sit)..."

"Sheis...I'll list it out separately." Yu Zhen wrote an incomplete sentence on a new line, "Start from it, cross out the existing 5 letters, and the remaining E, E, C, R, T, D , U, N, P to form a new vocabulary; the second most frequent initial letter is C, the words starting with C contain at least 1 E, and are included in the remaining 7 letters: center (center), cute (cute of), cure (cure)..."

Du Yu: "cure can be excluded; if center is used, there are still three letters D, U, P; if cute is used, E, N, R, D, P are left, and the sentence formed is: Sheiscenterpud/dup or Sheiscuteprend , it doesn't make sense."

"Start again." Yu Zhen stopped writing and took out a new blank paper.He encountered obstacles when he changed his mind, saying: "But for words starting with C and contained in these 14 letters, my vocabulary is really not enough to support me to think of any effective information."

"Then change to P and H, let me think about it." Du Yu didn't need a pen and paper, but just stared at the original text on his paper, his eyes were like a deep pool.

"There are many pronouns at the beginning of T, demonstrative pronouns this, these, possessive pronouns their..." Yu Zhen lay down on the table, he desperately needed sugar to activate his brain.

"Well, could it be thereis...? The remaining E, C, D, U, N, P can extract the dune of the original sentence; There is dune. What do the remaining C and P mean?"

Du Yu was distracted by him, and reminded him: "Try the, the definite article; besides, stop talking."

Yu Zhen tactfully kept silent.

Du Yu concentrated and meditated, and the flashing words disappeared in his mind: he/hen/here/herd/hence/hunted/hunch...

——Those beginning with P: pen/pend/pest/pitcher/pure...

For a while, it seemed that they couldn't reorganize any vocabulary related to their environment.

Yu Zhen knocked on his forehead with a pen, and said to himself: "I still blame my poor English..."

Du Yu was startled, raised his eyes and said, "Yes, Pisces."

One of the constellations of the zodiac, Pisces - Pisces.

Yu Zhen immediately wrote words on the blank space of the paper, and naturally connected with Du Yu's prompt, he read: "The Pisces..."

9 letters in total, 5 letters left: E, R, D, U, N.

"Under." Du Yu said, "Under the Pisces."

Yu Zhen's eyes were bright, and the letters corresponded completely, there was nothing redundant!

Secretduneship (secret dune ship) = Under the Pisces (under the Pisces)

"Pisces, the statue of Pisces in the garden?" Yu Zhen regained his spirits after sweeping away his depression.In the ancient sculpture standing in the palace garden, two mermaids are copulating in the gorgeous flowers, letting the wind and rain blow.

But in less than two seconds he froze again, "Isn't it useless to guess the riddle? We're all locked up here, why go out and dig up the statue to see what's hidden under it."

Du Yu pondered: "According to your thinking, this crossword puzzle is to tell the person who uses the secret room how to get out. Then it will definitely not indicate something that a person in the room cannot touch."

Yu Zhen stretched her arms against the desk, rolled her face on the paper, and didn't mind dipping in the lead gray graphite, "That's what I said, but there is nothing related to Pisces in the secret room..."

He stopped suddenly, and his fingers touched a cold and hard object.

What is it?

Yu Zhen grabbed it and took a look. It turned out to be a palm-sized sculpture ornament, made of molten silver metal, and it was not light.

On a cuboid base, two sterling silver little mermaids are intertwined, inseparable - a miniature version of the statue of Pisces in the garden!

This desk was already wide, and a large globe was placed on the left to block part of the view; this miniature sculpture had been placed in a blind spot behind the globe, so they ignored it.

Yu Zhen was overjoyed, did the Pisces in the answer refer to it?

He turned the sculpture upside down and carefully inspected its base; the metal bottom layer was sealed without any gaps, and it was solid inside under the weight, and nothing could be hidden inside.If there are information and clues, they should only be engraved on the surface.

Du Yu turned on the desk lamp for him, but the lamp was still on.

Yu Zhen looked over and over under the lamp, only to find a layer of rough scratches on the front of the base of the figurine.

The pad of his index finger rubbed against the not-so-smooth mark, and appraised it: "There was a word engraved here, but it was smoothed."

"Someone deliberately destroyed the clues." Du Yu leaned against the table, a trace of gloom appeared in his eyes, "Is this the reason why Irene escaped to the sewer?"

"Irene?" Yu Zhen raised her head when she heard the name.

"Well, based on the existing evidence, it is difficult for us to deduce the cause of her death. The murder and abandonment of the body, or being trapped and dying, are both possible. I will take her as the latter first." Du Yu said, " There are only two exits in the underground, assuming that the exit we come in is A, and the secret room is B; Irene enters the secret room, and the door is automatically locked. She is a smart person, and it stands to reason that she will not sit still, and she will definitely look for the second one more actively than us. way out."

Yu Zhen: "You mean, she also solved the crossword puzzle, but found that the clues had been destroyed, so she crawled through the ventilation duct to find Exit A, but unfortunately, the mechanism was triggered and Exit A was blocked, and she gave up survival in desperation ?”

Du Yu: "Yes, she would rather die in a sewer full of rats than return to a secret room; you said earlier that she was afraid of something..."

"I'm afraid of that monster." Yu Zhen took it for granted, "Maybe she didn't have time to pay attention to the crossword puzzle, and she was scared out of her wits when she saw that ugly monster—think about it, Irene came in 50 years ago, if The monster was kept here at that time, so it should be in its infancy or youth, and its lethality and danger are definitely greater than it is now."

"That's right!" Yu Zhen slammed the table and said, "It's useless because it's old!"

Du Yu was noncommittal, because none of them knew when that monster was locked in the secret room.

"Irene, why did she come to this kind of place? Is she conducting experiments?"

"Don't think about her! Can someone who has been dead for decades come back to life and tell us how to get out?" Yu Zhen said angrily, "The important thing right now is that we are in a dead end, so worry about yourself first."

Because he himself had spent a lot of thought on the mystery of Irene's death, but in fact, clarifying the cause of Irene's death was not a necessary condition for them to solve the method of leaving.

Maybe she, like them, just strayed in.

Yu Zhen touches the mermaid tail of the miniature sculpture affectionately, feeling heartbroken for the erased clues.

—God, why do you treat your people like this?

At that moment of emotion, he seemed to be kissed by an angel flying over his head, and the back of his neck went numb.

...he understood.

is God!

The answer to the anagram is "under Pisces", which actually refers to the base below the two mermaids; he remembered that on the base of the original statue, there was a short poem about the goddess inscribed in the same position:

"Musk roses and bright eyes, the goddess descends to the land of eternal dreams;

She kisses the miserable soul, filling the scarlet bullet hole in its right rib with nectar. "

Since this small sculpture is a replica of the original version, the engraving should be consistent with the original version, and the place that has been smoothed is exactly this poem!

Who would bother to memorize verses under an old sculpture by the side of the road?Yu Zhen just took advantage of her memory, and she could completely imprint it in her heart after reading it once.

But this poem is not an answer, it can even be regarded as a new riddle!

He poked the back of Du Yu's hand and said, "Help me think about it, what do musk roses, bright eyes, sad soul... all mean?"

After he said it, Du Yu also reacted, took the small sculpture from his hand, rubbed the base and said, "Which poem does the answer refer to?"

Yu Zhen: "Yes, Under the Pisces, I guess so."

"That poem was engraved later. It was a requiem poem for the dead. No one knew who the author was." Du Yu put the statuette under the lamp. Where a manservant was tortured to death, artisans would customarily carve a requiem poem on nearby buildings, of which "Musk Rose and Bright Eyes" is but the most inconspicuous one."

Du Yu said meaningfully: "It seems that many people died in this secret room."

"There were a bunch of corpses and bones here too." Yu Zhen yawned sleepily, and said sleepily, "It's too difficult, a series of riddles, I don't want to guess, let me die."

"No, I won't allow it." Du Yu suddenly put on the airs of his master, "You count as my private property, and you must live and die with me."

God damn private property, you are still in a dream.

But Yu Zhen didn't have the energy to quarrel with others, he fell down on the white paper with a dazed face, drowsy.

It was Du Yu's turn to poke him in the face with a pencil, and called out, "Wake up."

Yu Zhen blocked the pen, covered his face, and said nonsense: "...Master, let me sleep for a while."

Du Yu took a look at his soft pink earlobe covered by his hair, pinched it with his hands, and said very well, "Don't let it go."

After about 5 minutes, Yu Zhen really fell asleep and her breathing became even.

Du Yu poked him in the cheek with the tip of the pen to no avail, so he dropped the pen and began to check the drawers of the desk by himself.

Du Yu kept the locked drawer for the last.He didn't try to drag the handle, but walked to the front of the desk, squatted down and got under the desk, and successfully found the key that was firmly attached to the iron piece at the bottom of the middle drawer.

Yu Zhen not only fell asleep, but also had a weird dream within a dream.

While he was frowning because of the nightmare, Du Yu quietly opened the locked drawer on the right side of the desk with a key.

The author has something to say:

See if the child is tired, it's time for the siblings to raise their wages.
