"Look, the so-called mathematics may seem complicated, but it is not worth mentioning in the eyes of high-level beings."
Mei Mi turned around and helped her companion up. The two watched the flames in the fireplace recede gradually. The "Spirit of Flame" who was leaning on the fireplace stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
Only sporadic flames were still stirring on the charcoal, and the metal box had completely leaked out. The two of them didn't reach for the box, but looked at the man who was watching a show.
The disappearing flames are now gathered around him, and in the open right hand, the flying butterflies made of flames are vivid.
"Why haven't you disappeared yet?"
"Who knows?"
He answered so slowly, then shrugged, "Go ahead and leave me alone."
The two women looked at each other.
"it… "
Zhen hesitated to speak.
"It seems that opening the box is still a part of the mystical lock, and this alien species will continue to serve as the guard of the next lock. Damn, damn Miller just use such a means of delaying time?"
The two used pokers hanging on the wall to get out the metal box in the fire, and picked it up with their hands after it cooled down. Sure enough, the box was also locked. On the front of the metal lock, there was a very wonderful looking spiral pattern. Looking at this pattern, Mei Mi and Jane always felt that they understood something, but they didn't understand anything. .
On the back is engraved a passage in densely packed fonts:
A prime number is defined as a natural number greater than 1 that has no factors other than 1 and itself. List all the numbers from 1 to 10000 in the polar coordinate system, and bold the prime numbers to get a spiral diagram.
Please explain the law of prime number distribution according to the spiral diagram.
"What's this… "
The two women frowned at Mysuo's question, although they knew every word and read it fluently. But after reading it once, I don't remember what I saw at all, and I don't understand the meaning of this passage.
"Did she set a trap on the lock, artificially preventing us from understanding this sentence?"
asked Jane.
"I have no idea."
Mei Mi frowned. Although neither of them is a so-called mathematician, the gifter must not understand mathematics. The passage on the lock looks very complicated, but when read carefully with the spiral diagram in front, it is unexpectedly shocking.
For a moment, Mei Mi felt that she had touched the essence of the world, and behind the spiral diagram was a huge regular law. What she lacked was just summing up this rule.
The more you think, the more restless the spirit in your body becomes. The inexplicable sense of urgency made her desperately immerse her mind in that pattern, and couldn't wait to embrace the idea of the world, so that her mind could think at a faster speed.
"Pfft~"
She spat out a mouthful of blood, covered her mouth and took a few steps back, dropping the box on the ground.
"Spirit of Fire", well, Jenkins showed a surprised expression. The original plan was to hinder these two people for a while, but I didn't expect a simple Ulam spiral diagram to have such an effect.
"Mame!"
"Damn it, Miller must have put a curse on this picture!"
The woman cursed sharply, "Mystery is not so simple, kneel down and pray, I will ask the great upside-down shadow for help again!"
Just like before, the light in the room was absorbed by unknown beings, and countless shadows overflowed from the gaps in the floor, swaying like dancing poisonous snakes.
Fine whispers came from the shadow world, and the hissing sound made Zhen, who was kneeling on one knee, feel her scalp tingle.
The vision only lasted for a while before it ended, but Mei Mi didn't speak for a long time.
Jane thought at first that Maymee was digesting the answers she had received, but she was silent for too long.
Now that the beings in the shadows had retreated into the Shadow Realm, she stood up boldly.
"Mei Mi~"
He yelled softly, but his companion still didn't respond. Jane's heart sank immediately, she looked at her companion's motionless back, stretched out her hand and gave it a gentle push.
The corpse fell to the ground, the left arm twitched, and the distorted face bleeding from the seven orifices was strangely strange under the firelight. That pair of bewitching and alluring eyes widened, as if seeing something unbelievable.
Jane's first instinct was not to kneel down and cry, but to jump to the left and run away through the window.
A woman's hand wearing a black velvet glove suddenly emerged from the air, pressed hard on the back of her neck, and the woman collapsed on the ground, her body slid forward two inches due to inertia, and her skull He slammed into the wall hard, making a dull sound.
"It's kind of anticlimactic."
Jenkins said regretfully.
"Tiger's head and snake's tail? This analogy is really interesting~"
Miss Miller took off the invisibility cloak and threw a rope to Jenkins to tie up the witch on the ground. This kind of physical work, of course, cannot be done by a beautiful lady of small stature. "The plan was only halfway through, and she died."
Jenkins kicked the corpse on the ground, and then knelt down to tie him up: "How did she die? It really shocked me at the time."
"Your question about prime numbers may be too strange."
Miss Miller walked to the bookcase while talking, and pulled out a thick book with red and black patterns. After tearing off the cover, there was a proof question about number sequences.
She wrote the answer on it casually, and the white mist slowly dissipated on both sides of the street that the two of them couldn't see. The indoor scene has changed subtly, the objects turned by the woman are restored to their original positions, and the normal flame in the fireplace is burning.
The landlady came in with a teapot, and looked curiously at the woman tied up by the two, but didn't ask any questions.
The original plan of Jenkins and Ms. Miller was to trap the two benefactors from the Witch's House with mythical locks, and then destroy them one by one in a planned way.
Although the two women searched the apartment, in fact, none of the hidden traps were found. The mythos relying on the terrain are powerful, but in Miss Miller's mythos, it is not just a mathematical trap.
"So, what exactly is the law of prime numbers?"
Miss Miller asked as they sat down again in the chairs in front of the fireplace, waiting for the woman to wake up.
"have no idea."
Jenkins shrugged his shoulders and comforted the chocolate on his knees, "I said that night that the spiral diagram is not a pattern at all. In fact, as long as you count enough prime numbers, you will find that the spiral diagram exists. Flawed. As for the law of prime numbers, sorry, I don’t know either.”
