Krypton Life Game [Unlimited]

Needless to say, the theme of this oil painting is playing cards, and those playing cards are the focus of this painting.The few cards on the table are all face up, and only the cards in the hands of the black vest and the monocle can see the face of the cards.

"Who knows?" Ke Wen, who was sitting on the armrest of the sofa, tilted his head, "Maybe they are playing Doudizhu with three or four decks of cards?"

"In that case, there will be too few poker cards on the table." Judging from the strokes of the screen, it is obviously a realistic style, and logically there will be no such bugs.

Song Ci bent her index finger, and slowly rubbed her knuckles against her smooth chin, "In addition, the cards in both of their hands are arranged according to their suits. I am not familiar with poker games, and there are four decks of cards of suits. Solitaire?"

"Anyway, I haven't heard of it." Ke Wen shook his head, and rolled the cards in their hands again. The patterns were no different from common poker cards, five of hearts, six of hearts, five of diamonds, three of diamonds; five of spades , five of spades, five of spades, five of clubs, three of clubs, five of clubs.

Suddenly, he shook his fist in a sudden realization, "Five six, five three, five five five, five three five. The code, this must be the treasure code that the group of mayors haven't solved for many years!"

Tang Si raised his eyebrows and looked at Song Ci speechlessly. Isn't it obvious that the password is hidden on those playing cards?What is that classmate Ke Wen excited about?

Song Ci: ……………

However, knowing the password is useless.

They still can't figure it out.

There are no words with three identical letters in English, so the possibility of translating the card numbers into English is ruled out at first.

Song Ci walked quickly back to the desk, threw the deerstalker hat aside, sat in the armchair and took out some papers and began to sort out his thoughts.

"Could it be some abbreviation?" Ke Wen quickly translated, "EFECEEEECE?"

The content of E is obviously a bit beyond the standard.Song Ci tapped the paper with the pen in his hand, "Actually, we can start from several aspects, for example, what are the meanings of the four suits? Any password has its own rules, what are the rules visible to these cards?"

"The meaning of the suit? I remember reading the information before. The four suits of playing cards represent the four seasons. Spades represent spring, hearts represent summer, squares represent autumn, and clubs represent winter. There are 13 cards of each suit It represents 13 weeks in each season." Ke Wen bit his nails while thinking,

"If you look at it correspondingly, the card of the black vest represents the 5th and 6th week of summer, the 5th and 3rd week of autumn, and the card of the monocle represents the three springs. The fifth week of winter, the fifth week of winter, the third week of winter, the fifth week of winter. But where can these dates be pushed?"

"You can introduce festivals or constellations that fall within these time periods. However," Song Ci lowered his eyes and slowly fell back, his whole body sank lazily into the armchair. The wide back made his figure even thinner ,

"Internationally, there is no unified standard for the division of the four seasons. For example, Huaguo used to use the 'Lichun', 'Lixia', 'Liqiu', and 'Lidong' in the 24 solar terms as the starting point of the four seasons, while the western classification method is based on the 'vernal equinox'. , 'summer solstice', 'autumn equinox' and 'winter solstice' are the starting points of the four seasons, and there is a time difference of about one and a half months in between. There is also a climate statistics method divided by temperature, which is different from the above two times. If there is no way to determine the drawing According to the division of four seasons followed by people at that time, the results may be very different.”

Ke Wen sighed, it seems that this way is not going to work.

Tang Si frowned slightly, resisting the desire to straighten Song Ci, who was slumped in the chair, "This suit looks more like some kind of classification rule, reminding us to divide the cards into four parts."

"That is to say, the answer to the riddle is four words? Or is it composed of four parts?" The treasure map, in most cases, should be marked with the location of the treasure.Ke Wen looked at the bookshelf, and quickly pulled out a map version of Sunset Town to introduce, "Tom Fruit House, Sunset Hotel, Central Square, Centennial Bell Tower, Town Office, Mayor's Old House..."

He was stupefied halfway through the reading, two-thirds of the place names in Sunset Town were four characters.It seems opportunistic is not going to work.

Tang Si repeatedly looked at the two people on the screen, "As far as it can be seen, the cards in the hands of the black vest are all red. The ones with the monocle are all black. Perhaps, in addition to the suit of the cards, the color is also a certain color. Categorical Hints."

"It's very possible." In order to lift his spirits, Song Ci pinched his brows hard, and he also agreed with Tang Si's thoughts.However, if the numbers on the cards need to be obtained through a certain calculation method, then there are too many directions to be calculated.

"Look, doesn't this look like a multiplication sign?" Ke Wen pointed to the Victorian-style cane on the edge of the black vest table. On the ornately carved gold cane head, there are rows of 'X' hidden pattern.

Multiplication sign?Song Ci's mind moved slightly, and he looked at the picture carefully again.

In addition to the ornate cane, the thirty-degree diagonal stripes on the blue tie on the black vest, the tie clip in the shape of a W letter, the pocket watch pointer on the Roman numeral twelve o'clock, the cross-shaped bow tie on the monocle, and The scarf with the letters MIVLXCDV hanging in the far corner of the picture, and the pattern on the back of the playing cards resembles a division sign, and each detail may represent a different direction.

Without more clues, they could only study every detail of the painting and keep trying.

Ten minutes later, Tang Si pinched the bridge of his nose, staring at the screen until his eyes were swollen, he turned his gaze to take a rest, and when he turned his head, he saw Song Ci lying on the desk writing furiously.

Song Ci's sluggish and feeble look was gone.

Those black, bright and clear eyes are shining with jewel-like brilliance at this moment, and the slender waist and back are stretched out with flexible and powerful lines like a taut bowstring. It's hard to look away.

Tang Si was startled for a moment, and then got up in relief, to decipher or something, it should be no problem to leave it to this guy, it's better for him to hurry up and study the floor just now.

The bell sounded at eleven o'clock outside the window, and Ke Wen, who had tried seven or eight methods and failed all, grabbed his hair in despair, "It's over, I can't even figure out the direction to solve the puzzle. This secret room is simply hell-difficult." level!"

"Try looking through those books against these numbers, maybe there are code books." Song Ci pointed to the bookshelf, providing him with new ideas for solving puzzles, and saving his ears and the other party's hair by the way.

Song Ci, who had regained her cleanliness, sat back at the desk, took out a piece of white paper, and drew those poker cards on the paper alone, and then continued to deduce.

When he filled two sheets of paper and was about to open the third sheet, Ke Wen suddenly asked him for help, "Boss, I need a six-digit digital password."

Song Ci raised her head, and at some point, the bookshelf had quietly moved away, revealing a safe embedded in the wall.

Ke Wen, who found the agency, was desperate when he saw that he needed the password again.His mind was already spinning.

"Try 752365 or 342654." Song Ci quickly glanced at the bookshelf, then lowered her head again.

"It's 752365!" Ke Wen who opened the door looked at Song Ci adoringly, "Boss, how did you know?"

"There are six rows of bookshelves. The titles of the books in the first row are all seven characters, the titles of the second row are five characters, and so on, which is 752365."

"But this row obviously has two characters and three characters." Ke Wen patted the books in the third row.

"Look carefully, the two three-character books are of different sizes. They should have been taken up from the fourth row, in order to confuse the audience." Song Ci said without raising his head, halfway through the explanation, he suddenly stopped.

"Ah, I see. 342645 is the number of books placed in each row. If it is not the number of words, it may be the number of books." Ke Wen deduced the source of the string of passwords behind.

"That's right." Song Ci sighed, "However, I'm afraid the other team has already opened this safe."

Compared with the original owner, it is more likely that the person who entered the study before them wanted to hide the code for competition.

"No way!" Ke Wen's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly started searching.

"Well... there is an empty holster on it, and a half-empty bullet box. Judging from the style of the holster, it should be the one that the old mayor carried with him when he died." Ke Wen flipped through it and broadcast live to the other two, "Here is the title deed of this house or something, ah, another file bag!"

Half a second later, Ke Wen shook the brown paper bag upside down with a face full of disappointment, "It's empty!"

Sure enough, the contents inside had been taken away by Slender Face and the others.

A palm-sized note slipped from the bag and fluttered down on Ke Wen's feet.

Ke Wen's eyes lit up, he quickly squatted down to pick up the piece of paper, and handed it to Song Ci to read together.

The handwriting on it is scribbled, and it looks like it was written in a hurry, but it is very similar to the handwriting of the sentence behind the photo, and it should be written by the old mayor.

[Dear Mark,

Tonight is Christmas Eve, if you read this text, it proves that something happened to me.

Don't be sad for me and your mother's death.

I know that maybe giving you everything you want in the world won't make up for your sorrow.

But your life is long, stick to what you love and don't give up.

Love is the key to a beautiful life.

May you always be happy.

No matter what, Dad will always love you. 】

The old mayor was locked in the study at that time, and it turned out that he was writing letters and keeping materials for Mark.He knew something might happen to him?What was it that Slender Face and the others took away?Song Ci rubbed her forehead with a headache. This murder case felt more and more complicated.

"Unfortunately, Mark didn't see this farewell letter at all." Ke Wen sighed.

"Crackling", before he finished speaking, a sound suddenly came from the corner where Tang Si was.

Song Ci and Ke Wenxun looked around, and saw a floor at Tang Si's feet slowly sinking and moving away, revealing a hidden compartment hidden underneath.

There are really traps under the floor!

Song Ci and Ke Wen looked at Tang Si in surprise. If he hadn't found something strange and smashed against the floor, they might not have found this mechanism at all.

Tang Si bent down, and reached out from the hidden compartment to take out the already yellowed hand scroll and two exquisitely crafted boxes, one big and one small.

"I'll get it, I'll get it, boss, you've worked hard." Ke Wen ran over like a dog, and took the things from Tang Si's hand.

Such a secret hidden compartment should be an extremely important clue.

"Where is the agency?" Song Ci asked Tang Si curiously.

"Lamp holder." Tang Si arrogantly touched the floor lamp on the right side of the small sofa with his tiptoe. Song Ci always felt that his partner comrade's tensed toes were full of ambition, with a hint of elation.

The three of them gathered in front of the big desk and opened the scroll first.

That's the message about the sleeping treasure.

According to the records in the hand scroll, the treasure passed down from generation to generation by the mayor's family is actually a 119-carat top-quality ruby.When the ancestors of the mayor's family got this gem, the market price was already as high as 5000 million pounds.However, the tree attracts attention because of its high value. The mayor's family has been harassed by treasure thieves several times in the past 80 years, and four family members even died because of it.

Later, the grandfather of the old mayor was overwhelmed by the disturbance. In order to avoid another tragedy, he simply hid the gem before he died, leaving only a treasure map for future generations.

Since then, no one knows the true location of the gem.

"Good guy, it was worth 5000 million pounds at that time. Now it's worth at least [-] million U.S. dollars, right? It's priceless!" Ke Wen was shocked, and his hand holding the brown paper bag couldn't help but shake excitedly. trembling hands.

However, the two beside him turned to study the other two boxes, one big and one small, with calm expressions, obviously indifferent to the value of the gemstone.

"Bosses, rubies worth at least [-] million US dollars, don't you get excited when you hear that?"

"How much it's worth is Mark's business. Why am I so excited?" Tang Si shook the small metal box in his hand, and there was a tinkling sound inside, obviously hiding something.

The shape of the box is very similar to a three-dimensional four-leaf clover. If you look down, it looks like two flattened Ruyi, one horizontal and one vertical, placed together vertically.However, no matter how much you push, pull, or twist, the box remains motionless.

Ke Wen didn't dare to hate Tang Si, so he turned to Song Ci for approval, "Captain?"

The wooden box in front of Song Ci was seven or eight times larger than that of Tang Si, and he was looking carefully at the four-digit English letter lock hanging on it, "Strictly speaking, the so-called ruby ​​is a piece of ruby ​​mixed with chrome." Alpha alumina. Also, the color may not be as good as the artificial ones in the lab."

Ke Wen: ……………

Can't you two give some normal people's reaction?

"Wow!" The box in Tang Si's hand was scattered into several pieces, and the two keys fell to the ground.

Song Ci glanced at the scattered fragments on the carpet, "How did you open it?"

Tang Si made a movement of turning the badge, and Song Ci instantly understood that the mechanism of the box was opened by inertial centrifugal force.

The larger key has a blue plastic slot with a small tag-like piece of paper that says 'Office'.

"It seems that I have to go to the mayor's office." Tang Si shook the key ring with his index finger.

"The old mayor has passed away for so many years, will his office still exist?" Ke Wen asked worriedly.

"According to the situation of this house, the former mayor's office is likely to be left unused." Tang Si vigorously picked up the windbreaker, and told them while putting it on, "Before I come back, don't open the door casually."

The two nodded obediently and joked. It was almost twelve o'clock. According to Marcel, those question mark faces were likely to come out to act like monsters. No one would dare to move around without their thighs.

After Tang Si left, Song Ci and Ke Wen locked the door and continued to study the four-digit English combination lock.

According to the note left by the old mayor, Song Ci and Ke Wen tried words such as LOVE (love) and LIFE (life) successively, but failed. Finally, Ke Wen had an idea and changed the password to the mayor’s name On the MARK, the lock opened with a 'click'.

Song Ci patted his forehead in frustration, well, he thought too complicatedly.

Open the box, inside is an old-fashioned voice recorder.

"In addition to the progress bar, I finally have some effect!" Ke Wen happily raised his hand and gave Song Ci a high-five. The recording data must be the key information.

"Progress bar?" Song Ci looked at him in surprise.

"That's right," Ke Wen pointed to the two green bars on the light screen, "I opened an S-level progress indicator skill book when I entered the door, and I will share it with you after forming a team. After all, it is the first time to enter a four-star secret room , you have to be as safe as possible."

It turned out that this progress bar was Ke Wen's skill book, Song Ci nodded, "Your skill book is very useful."

It is equivalent to a filter for effective information and important information, which can save them a lot of time.It's much more reliable than any hellish horror nursery rhyme.

"It's really useful, but it's a one-off." Ke Wen pouted regretfully.

"Are you sure it's really a one-off?" Song Ci asked casually.

"There are still fake ones?" Ke Wen was surprised, and then he realized that he made a microphone shape with his hands and handed it to Song Ci's mouth with a smile, and said jokingly, "Boss, tell me your story? "

Don't mention it, it will be tears if you talk too much.The dimples on Song Ci's cheeks flashed melancholy, she patted Ke Wen's hand away, picked up the recording pen in the box, and pressed it.

Unsurprisingly, the voice recorder has long since run out of battery.The two had no choice but to plug in and charge the recording pen patiently, and then turned around to study the treasure map.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

There was a sudden knock on the door, interrupting their train of thought.

The two looked at the trembling door panel and looked at each other. Such a rough rhythm didn't sound like Tang Si.

"Who?" Ke Wen asked warily.

"Help! Help!" Just as the knock on the door fell, there was another panicked cry for help.

The voice sounded a bit like the fisherman's hat following Slender Face, Song Ci and Ke Wen hurried to the door, "What's going on outside?"

"Boy, those male servants on the first floor are all crazy. We were looking for clues on the first floor just now, those male servants suddenly went crazy for some reason, killing people everywhere, please, let me go in and hide." He yelled at them for help against the door panel.

Can it be saved?Ke Wen looked at Song Ci hesitantly.They have seen the fighting power of those NPCs before, and there is basically no way to survive when they meet them.If you don't open the door now, it's basically equivalent to sending someone out of the game with your own hands.

But what if the other party cheats?Tang Si is not around, three against two, they are definitely not opponents of each other, opening the door is tantamount to leading a wolf into the house.

Song Ci lowered the corners of her eyes and listened carefully to the movement outside the door, "Just you? Where are the two of them?"

"The captain was cut and injured. I don't know where the little glasses are hiding. I beg you, let me go in and hide." The fisherman's hat said eagerly, "By the way, I have the information. You open the door. I will give you the information I found in it!"

It's the document they took away in the safe!Ke Wen's eyes flashed, and he looked at Song Ci eagerly.

"You mean the one in the safe?" Song Ci seemed to be very interested and approached the door.

"Yes, yes, it's the agreement in the brown paper bag." Through the door panel, he could feel the strength of the other party's crazy nodding.

protocol?Song Ci's eyes flickered slightly, it turned out that what they took away was an agreement.

"What agreement?"

"If you let me in, I'll give it to you." The fisherman's hat outside the door felt a slip of the tongue, refused to say any more, and continued to pat the door wailing, "Help, please, let me in, or I'll die .”

"Sorry, there's nothing I can do." Song Ci's attitude changed abruptly, and her voice was polite and indifferent.

Ke Wen thought that Song Ci would open the door in the next second, but he didn't expect him to make a 180-degree turn.

The wailing of the fisherman's hat outside the door also came to an abrupt end, as if the power was suddenly cut off.

"You, you actually refuse to save yourself?" After a few seconds, the fisherman's hat questioned in disbelief.

"Your acting skills are too bad." Song Ci narrowed his black and white eyes slightly, and shook his head regretfully, "Or, your acting skills are too bad. If I guessed right, the two of them should be in front of you right now." next to it."

There was a sudden silence outside the door.

"How did you find out?" Not long after, a thin and long-faced voice sounded outside the door.

"To be precise, I was very skeptical at first, but now I'm really sure." Hearing the voice of the thin and long face, Song Ci's tight shoulders instantly relaxed.

Ke Wen: ……………

Thin long face: ……………………

"You fucking lied to us?" The fisherman's hat kicked the door angrily.

"Reciprocity is a courtesy to each other." Song Ci shrugged, "You were the ones who tricked us into opening the door first. Besides, it was originally the difference between 90.00% and [-]%. That [-]% was originally my expectation of your humanity. .”

The bucket hat outside the door choked.

"Interesting." The slender face outside the door seemed to smile, "90.00% nine? Did you really see that this was a trap before?"

"Is it difficult? It can be seen from the time in the square before that after offending the NPC, his attack and activity area have a fixed range." Song Ci spoke clearly and at a moderate speed, "So, Logically speaking, running from the first floor to the third floor should have already escaped its attack range. Taking a step back, there are so many rooms on the second and third floors, and the bedroom next door even has double doors. He hid in Where is it not possible, why are you so obsessed with entering the study?"

Thin long face: ……………

"The last and most important thing is voice." Song Ci added lightly, "The other two of you are too careful, and you dare not make any noise for fear of being discovered. But, if there are really NPCs chasing you Man, how is it possible that there aren't any other sounds in the corridor?"

Ke Wen looked at Song Ci in shock. How did you calmly judge so many things in just a dozen seconds?

After a few seconds of silence outside the door, the thin and long face let out a long sigh, and said in a self-reflective manner, "You are right, I was negligent."

"Don't you just want to know what we found?" Song Ci exchanged glances with Ke Wen, "Or we can talk about exchanging information. For example, the agreement you mentioned just now."

"Exchange information?" The people outside the door seemed to have heard a good joke, and laughed, "The current situation is that I am the knife and you are the fish. What do you use to negotiate terms with us?"

"Bang!" An ax slammed through the door panel, and the gleaming blade of the ax hit Song Ci's nose.

The author has something to say: Song Ci: If you want to lie to me, there is no way. ╮(╯3╰)╭
