I Was Once a Legend

Chapter 225: Hospital life

The door of 304 can be opened. It should be said that the door has been burned and deformed. Cui Zuojing pushed it gently, and the door panel fell down, smashed to the ground, and raised a black charred ash.

Cui Zuojing stood at the door and looked around. The room was burnt so badly that all the furniture was burnt out, only the walls and the ceramic bathtub were left with outlines.

It's all like this, and there won't be any clues... Thinking of this, Cui Zuojing still walked in, not letting go of any possible information.

With his sharp eyes, he saw what seemed to be a special shape in the round bathtub that was completely blackened by the fire. He reached out and picked it up. It was a lighter. The rectangular casing had been deformed by the burning, but he could still see that there seemed to be two engravings on the lid. Letter: VC.

Cui Zuojing immediately remembered the note he found behind the portrait, does this lighter belong to the person named vincent campbell? Who is he? What kind of roles and roles have you assumed

Rubbing the lighter on his pants, Cui Zuojing put it in his pocket, turned around and went to the last room, Room 305.

The door of the room can also be opened. Cui Zuojing pushed the door in. The condition of this room was better. Just like the first two rooms, there was nothing to be found. Cui Zuojing turned his attention to the closed bathroom door.

He pushed it away.

Surprisingly, the bathroom is exceptionally clean. Whether it is the smooth tiled floor and walls, the neat bath towels on the shelf, or the spotless washbasin, there is no sign that it has experienced a fire at all.

It's as if the bathroom door becomes a barrier in the event of a fire, perfectly separating it from the fire outside.

There are some disposable sanitary utensils on the washbasin, and even a lipstick, which may have been dropped by a former guest. The mirror is very unreasonably covered with a layer of water mist, unable to illuminate the figure.

Cui Zuojing wanted to see if he was his original appearance at present. He stretched out his hand and wiped the mist on the mirror with his palm.

The cold water was wiped on the palm of the hand, and the mirror was clear again, but the figure of the man was also wiping the mirror.

Cui Zuojing and Dong Zheng in the mirror were stunned at the same time.

Cui Zuojing immediately made a funny face. Seeing that Dong Zheng in the mirror did not do the same thing as him, he was amused and couldn't help laughing, and he was sure that he did not become Dong Zheng.

He breathed a sigh of relief, he had been worried about Dong Zheng's situation, and now he finally saw the other party, although it may be separated by different spaces, it is better than knowing nothing.

This mirror should be a medium for two people in different spaces to communicate. Cui Zuojing saw Dong Zheng open his mouth and said a word, but he couldn't hear the other party's voice. He read Dong Zheng's lips and asked him Can you hear him, he shook his head.

The man in the mirror is dressed as a waiter. The black suit perfectly sets off his tall and straight figure. The bow tie is meticulously tied, and he has a kind of ascetic temperament. He wears white gloves, one of which has been taken off to wipe the mirror.

And Cui Zuojing noticed at a glance, the curly characters engraved on the nameplate on Dong Zheng's chest.

Vincent Campbell.

The notes and lighters he got had a lot to do with the name. Cui Zuojing immediately took out the broken lighter from his pocket. Dong Zheng looked slightly surprised. He nodded, indicating that Cui Zuojing was indeed his lighter. of.

Neither of them wasted time on meaningless chats. The box gave this design for sure that the two of them exchanged the information they were in. The clues they needed in the scene might be on the other side, or they needed to work together. Breaking.

Cui Zuojing showed the two notes to Dong Zheng. Through the mirror, the letters Dong Zheng saw would be reversed. Cui Zuojing also took the opportunity to think about the content of the note again.

He didn't get many clues in the scene. There was a small note with Dong Zheng's current name written on the back of the frame, the mobile phone with cheating information in 301, the stuff in 302 that kept trying to break the door, and the card in 303. A string of unidentified letters, unlike any known language, Dong Zheng's lighter in 304, and a mirror in 305 that can communicate with Dong Zheng.

Among them, the note and the lighter are related to Dong Zheng. Cui Zuojing is sure that he has searched carefully and there should be no clues that have fallen. If the information in the mobile phone reveals the plot, what about the card

vincent campbell.

opr vvhmj ie ubpdp.

There should be a sentence behind it. The note is in English. Let’s assume that the encrypted original text is also in English. The third word consists of two letters. In sentences or phrases, the most frequently used two-letter words are: Pronouns, copulas, or prepositions such as is, am, of, an, in, it, he, on, or.

And according to the length of the letters before and after, ie should not be a preposition... Cui Zuojing thought, seeing Dong Zheng frowning in the mirror, his fingers slowly wrote the number 15 on the mirror.

15

Cui Zuojing looked at the note and card again, and suddenly found that the two strings were composed of 15 letters.

Is that so? !

In a flash, Cui Zuojing had a rough guess in his heart. He immediately picked up the lipstick on the sink, pulled out the lid, twisted out most of the lipstick, and wrote it on the mirror.

The two strings of letters are both 15. If they correspond to each other, it is very likely that one string is the secret key and the other is the ciphertext, and the letters on the card are messy and meaningless, and they are separated by spaces like sentences. ciphertext.

Using the key and ciphertext in this way, Cui Zuojing first thought of Caesar encryption, which is a kind of replacement encryption technology. All letters in the plaintext are backward or forward in the alphabet according to a fixed number. After offset, it is replaced with ciphertext.

For example, when the offset value is 6, the letter A is replaced by G, the letter B is replaced by H...

After that, Caesar encryption has derived many variants, such as the one that Cui Zuojing is experimenting with now. The password generally includes three parts: the encrypted real text, the key and the encrypted cipher text.

Each letter in the key represents the starting point of the offset, for example, when the letter in the key is v, the count starts from v, and the alphabet becomes vwxyza... The o in the ciphertext is the 15th letter in the original alphabet, And the 15th letter in the v-offset alphabet is t. When the letter in the key is i, the count starts from i, and the alphabet becomes ijklmn... The p in the ciphertext is the 16th letter in the original alphabet, and the 16th letter in the i offset alphabet is h.

And so on.

In this way, Cui Zuojing wrote out the real text corresponding to the cipher text one by one.

When did the knocking sound from 302 stop, he didn't seem to notice that the coral-colored lipstick wrote letters on the mirror, gradually forming a sentence—

Dong Zheng figured out the rules of the password earlier than Cui Zuojing. The powerful computing power of the core came up with the real text almost instantly. He watched the letters appear in the hands of the young man, and suddenly he saw the corridor in the corner of the mirror. I saw a sudden flash of shadows.

His face changed suddenly, and he shouted to remind Cui Zuojing. He pressed both hands on the mirror, eager to let the young man know about the crisis that came after him, but Cui Zuojing seemed to know nothing, and he muttered in his mouth. According to the order of the alphabet, after writing fal, the remaining two letters are directly completed.

the truth is false.

Opposite the mirror, the pale and transparent humanoid creature twisted strangely. Its mouth grew so large that its entire head was about to be torn apart. It waved its arms in pain as if trying to escape the blazing fire, and flew towards Cui Zuojing. !

Cui Zuojing made the last stroke, he didn't look back, he raised his hand and pressed it on Dong Zheng's hand in the mirror!

The moment the palms of the two people touched each other, Cui Zuojing's palm was pressed into the mirror, and he leaned forward. The next moment, the whole person was swallowed up by the mirror and disappeared without a trace.

In the mirror, all the sights were lost in an instant. There was no Dong Zheng, no Cui Zuojing, and no twisted evil spirit who was desperately trying to catch the boy back. Only the string of coral red, the truth is false, was left obliquely. on the mirror.

At the moment when the boy's palm was close to him, and the whole person was diving towards him, Dong Zheng woke up from an indescribable heart palpitation. He gasped and opened his eyes. The nurse was adjusting the speed of the drip for him. Eyes, calmly said: "You are awake."

"..." Dong Zheng didn't answer. He was in a ward. The morning light came in from the window. He was lying on the hospital bed in his hospital gown and hanging bottles. On the next hospital bed was a young man reading a book. Books, his eyes focused, and on the bedside table between the two, there was a very delicate dragon boat model.

The pavilions and pavilions with vermilion roofs, the curving water in the garden, the rotatable driving fan blades on both sides and the majestic dragon head statue on the bow are all so familiar.

Exactly the dragon boat he boarded in the first scene!

The nurse watched Dong Zheng make sure that he had finished the last point in the infusion bottle, helped him pull out the needle, and left the ward with the needle tube and water bottle.

The door was closed, Dong Zheng pressed the needle on the back of his hand, and silently wanted to pick up the dragon boat to take a look, but the clinical young man suddenly put down the book and said to him, "You know what? After the hotel, I met Mr. Godot, and I learned that she had been trying to kill me to steal the location of the gold mine."

This is... a scene from the second Red Dead West

"Fortunately, I was wise and didn't leave the small bag of gold mines at the hotel as she wanted. I went to Yorktown and bought some muskets, a good horse, and the latest style of waistcoat."

The young man laughed, then ignored Dong Zheng and continued to read his book.

Dong Zhengzheng was puzzled. The nurse pushed the door again and came in. She took a bottle of medicine and said, "This is a newly prescribed medicine based on your current situation. Take it for two days to observe the situation."

Dong Zheng took the medicine bottle and took the lead to look at the ingredient list.

Haloperidol, a typical antipsychotic drug, has a good antidelusional effect.

Did he become a mental patient in this scene... Dong Zheng was thinking about how to send the nurse away so that he wouldn't have to take medicine under her nose when he saw a doctor enter the ward.

"How do you feel?" The doctor stood in front of the hospital bed and looked down at Dong Zheng, who was sitting at the head of the bed. "Have you seen that lunatic asylum again?"

madhouse

The thread was caught, and the memory hidden in the chaos was finally clear. Dong Zheng recalled the experience in the "dream". He used Cui Zuojing's vision to travel through the madhouse in nineteenth century Europe, and finally woke up and became a Vincent Campbell, a waiter in a luxury hotel.
