The Midnight Owl

Chapter 75: letter

Views:

With the questline option that pops up, the buddies hide back to the empty room 1301 they originally left.

The door was closed, and the atmosphere was quiet. In the first minute, the friends stared at their arms and meditated, or at the ceiling, but no one spoke.

It is not difficult to choose one of the six, but if among these six paths, there is happiness like a fairy, and sadness like a nightmare, then you must choose carefully.

"The career line seems to be the safest," Qian Ai decided the fastest, mainly because he did not rely on logical analysis, but purely on wild instinct, "Who would choose the horror line, the happy line... Are we sure that we are happy, not NPC happiness? "

"Ah," Kuang Jinxin was a little disappointed, "I really want to choose the happy line..."

Qi Shan was also a little bit shocked: "The horror line should be quite enjoyable..."

Qian Ai didn't expect to say a word from himself, so he swept away the happiness of the two partners, and hurriedly asked to make up for it: "It should be because I think too much, the happy line must be pure happiness!"

Qi Shan: "?"

Qian Ai: "?"

Qi Shan: "…"

Don't he need to find a remedy for his fright line? ! !

Three people, three directions, Kuang Jinxin decisively asked the leader: "Captain, Brother Sheng, what do you two want to choose?"

Xu Wang didn't even have to use his brain, he could directly answer for his military advisor: "Your brother Sheng will definitely choose..."

"Love line." Wu Sheng said, "I choose the love line."

Xu Wang suspected that he had heard it wrong, and turned his head to look, Wu Sheng looked serious.

"Aren't you..." Xu Wang really didn't attack Wu Sheng, but with this teammate's emotional intelligence, even kissing him, he could be put off by jokes and go on the love line

"Feel it." Wu Sheng said.

Xu Wang was speechless: "This is not to buy oranges at the vegetable market, you can break them apart and taste a piece first."

Wu Sheng said, "If you don't taste it, you'll never know if it's sour or sweet."

"You can taste it if you say it," Xu Wang said awkwardly, "Have you asked Orange's opinion?"

Wu Sheng asked, "Then what do you say?"

Xu Wang rolled his eyes: "Either buy it, and accept the sour, or leave, and don't worry about the sweet."

Wu Sheng stopped talking, just looked at him.

Xu Wang suddenly felt a little flustered, and his feverish head finally began to cool down.

What the hell did he say? Fortunately, Wu Sheng was able to pick up the conversation. Where are you going

Xu Wang was in a mess, and Qian Ai, Kuang Jinxin, and Qi Shan were even more confused.

What sweet and sour oranges to buy? Is the leadership team chatting so high-end now? So what are the three of them? A circle of melons, fruits, pears and peaches

Xu Wang's consistent style of play is that if he can't figure it out, he can't figure it out, so he just bypasses it and fundamentally avoids the possibility of falling into the pit.

It was a terrible fall ten years ago, but he did it himself, so he can't remember grudges, only the pain.

"I choose the puzzle line." He gave his attitude.

Kuang Jinxin confirmed it again: "The captain chooses to solve the puzzle? Brother Sheng chooses love?"

Qian Ai's black line: "Did you two take the wrong script..."

In any case, everyone has a choice, and then there is no uniformity.

Qi Shan asked, "What should I do? Draw lots?"

"That, I changed it..." Kuang Jinxin raised his hand hesitantly, "I also choose the love line."

Xu Wang: "..."

Qian Ai: "What kind of love do you love as a little boy!"

Kuang Jinxin: "I'll change it anyway!"

Two votes, the love line wins.

The process is confusing, but the results should be respected.

No way, not to mention the time delay, Captain Xu took the lead and chose the "love line".

After the last person selected, a flame suddenly appeared in the middle of the room, and there seemed to be something in the bright fire.

The flames became weaker and weaker, and the objects inside became clearer and clearer. The last flame was annihilated, and an envelope fell on the carpet.

The partners rushed forward.

Kuang Jinxin has never been able to catch this kind of speed, but this time Wu Sheng also fell behind with him. While Xu Wang and the others were picking up the envelope, he asked curiously, "Why did you change your mind?"

"Because you seem to want to choose love." Kuang Jinxin's reason was unexpectedly simple.

Wu Sheng: "..."

The open eyes of teammates, like infrared scanners, make people have nowhere to hide.

"Brother Sheng, have you never been in love?" Kuang Jinxin suddenly asked in a very low voice and very quickly.

Over there, Xu Wang has already started to open the envelope.

Wu Sheng was completely unprepared and didn't know how to answer.

Kuang Jinxin sighed, as if he had seen the truth of the matter: "Brother Sheng, no matter how realistic the love line here is, it's still fake. You can't just pass the level for fun..."

Wu Sheng was stunned, always feeling that something was wrong: "I'm not..."

Kuang Jinxin's eyes are full of genuine concerns: "And many NPCs have their own belongings. If you find someone with CP, you will be considered a junior..."

Wu Sheng: "..."

He's not here for a one-night stand on a loveline! ! !

"What are you two talking about—" Captain Xu held up the letter from the envelope, turned his head and called, "Come here quickly."

Wu Sheng and Kuang Jinxin returned a few steps quickly.

Xu Wang naturally handed the letter to his military advisor.

Wu Sheng took over in a tacit understanding, and with the light, he could clearly see the words on it—

I have been Love You before,

love, maybe

Not quite dead yet in my mind,

I hope it doesn't bother you anymore,

I don't want to make you sad anymore.

I once loved you silently and hopelessly,

I suffer both shyness and jealousy,

I used to love you so sincerely and so tenderly,

May God bless you,

Another person will love you as much as I do.

Visually guessing that Wu Sheng has finished browsing, Xu Wang contributed his knowledge base: "Pushkin's love poem, the first sentence is the name of the poem, I used to..."

Suddenly stopped, Xu Wang was suddenly speechless.

What a broken name, like a confession!

"I once loved you?" Qian Ai asked in a daze before waiting for the full version.

"… Hmm." Xu Wang nodded.

Qian Aite admired that he could retrieve it at a glance, and guessed: "Did we learn this poem in Chinese class?"

Xu Wang was convinced: "Whose high school Chinese class taught you love poetry!" After thinking about it, he added rigorously, "The classical Chinese writing in memory of the deceased wife does not count."

"..." Qian Ai got it right, this is the extracurricular reserve for the literary youth.

When Qi Shan heard this, he finally heard something: "You two are high school classmates?"

Qian Ai pointed to herself and Xu Wang, and pointed to Wu Sheng, who was still reading the letter, and said, "The three of us."

Qi blinked in disbelief.

Qian Ai understood his mood: "We didn't expect that the owl must be a scourge in one class."

"It's a little sad." Kuang Jinxin was still focusing on the love poem, "Brother Sheng, do you see anything?"

His question grabbed the attention of the other three partners.

"I'm not sure," Wu Sheng put the letter back into the envelope, "but you can go and have a look."

"Any clues?" Xu Wang didn't expect him to be so quick, "Where are you going?"

Wu Sheng: "Room 1829."

Xu Wang: "Why?"

Wu Sheng: "This poem was written in 1829."

Xu Wang: "..."

Wu Sheng: "Did I remember wrong?"

Xu Wang: "Probably not..."

Who will remember this era! He even recites the years of the Opium War!

wrong.

Why does a mathematician tyrant study love poetry? ! !

Open the "Transparent Dream Team", the group left 1301 and went to 1829 quietly.

Long run.

The friends walked all the way down, and finally determined that this corridor is not "as if" without an end, but "not at all"!

When passing by 1700, the door was suddenly slammed open!

The five immediately stuck to the corner of the wall and stood still to prevent exposure.

There were two teams in the house, all the way to the corridor, and a woman in white with disheveled hair was thrown into the melee.

Look closely, the woman has no face.

In the end, one team was sent home by the faceless woman, and the other team escaped and disappeared deep in the corridor.

The five companions in stealth watched the woman in white return to her room, her hair was cold.

The hallway is quiet again.

Qi Shan weakly repented: "I'm ashamed of my naive Psycho line proposal..."

Xu Wang was happy, and just wanted to say that it was all right, when he heard Qi Shan annoyed: "It's a pity."

Xu Wang didn't understand: "Huh?"

"We should have helped that female ghost just now," Qi Shan said, "so that team can't escape."

Qian Ai walked in front, turned around after hearing this, and asked inexplicably, "It has nothing to do with us, why do you want to take action?"

Qi Shan shook his head and analyzed rationally: "The quest line is okay, but only one team can submit the paper, and sooner or later it will be played."

Qian Ai's brows were knotted, and after thinking about it for a long time, she felt that this was true, but she also felt that something was wrong.

"We waited until we really needed a duel competition," Kuang Jinxin said. "Maybe by then, they have already been sent home by other teams."

"The truth is correct," Qi Shan understood what he meant, "but the initiative is still in your own hands."

Kuang Jinxin thought about this logic very seriously. Because he was too serious, there was no result for a long time, and the topic ended like this.

When approaching the gate of 1829, the formation did not know how to go. Wu Sheng and Qian Ai came to the front, Kuang Jinxin was in the middle, Qi Shan and Xu Wang were in the back.

"Primary defense is stealth," Xu Wang said suddenly, as if thinking that Qi Shan could understand, "Intermediate defense is physical armor, and the rest are advanced defenses."

Qi Shan listened carefully, and nodded at the end: "Handsome."

Xu Wang looked at him: "Is there anything else I want to ask?"

Qi Shan was stunned for a moment, and said with joy, "Is it that obvious?"

More than obvious, in Xu Wang's view, Qi Shan's curiosity was almost written on his face, but after waiting for a long time, no one asked.

"We'll make it clear for any tactic we do after that," Xu Wang said earnestly, restraining his jokes. "Correspondingly, if you have any tactical ideas, you must tell us, and if you cooperate together, you will become more and more tacit."

Qi Shan lowered his eyes, and after a few seconds, smiled: "Understood."

Xu Wang said no more.

Qi Shan is different from Lao Qian and Kuang Jinxin. Those two are really silly and sweet. Right or wrong, approval or disapproval will give you the most direct response. You don't need to think about ways to get along with them, just say what you have to say. .

But Qi Shan is different.

Xu Wang could only click so far.

If Qi Shan really took action to deal with the escaped team just now, would it be wrong

That's right.

But that's not the style of their team.

Style is a very mysterious thing, mainly guided by character, Xu Wang can't clearly list one, two, three.

This is how the team is. There is something inappropriate between each other. When they touch, they have to break it so that they can continue to run in.

He hoped that Qi Shan could become a real partner.

Wu Sheng had been standing in front of the 1829 gate for a few seconds. When he turned around, Xu Wang was still whispering with his new teammates.

Wu military division and others, without a word, patience, heart, and so on.

Xu Wang finally felt that there seemed to be a gaze staring at him

"click-"

The door of 1829 opened by itself, and inside the door was a young girl with braids, wearing a floral dress, with light freckles on her face, pure and lovely.

She stood inside the door, bent down, to lift the hallway carpet.

Wu Sheng, Qian Ai, and Kuang Jinxin, who were already standing at the door, hurried back two steps.

The braided girl successfully lifted the edge of the carpet, took out a letter hidden underneath, got up and entered the room, just as she was about to close the door, Wu Sheng released his stealth and reached out to push the door.

The braided girl turned around strangely and saw five more men suddenly appearing at the door. She was startled and asked tremblingly, "Who, who are you?"

Wu Sheng was hesitating whether to report his name or the quest line, but Xu Wang had already held the previous envelope to the girl.

The braided girl was stunned, looked at Xu Wang's envelope, and then looked at the envelope in her hand, and finally found the key point—the paint pattern on the envelope was exactly the same.

"Are you the ones who corresponded with me?" In the eyes of Twisted Braid, there was confusion and disbelief, and he couldn't find any joy at all.

The five partners were emotionally hurt.

Fortunately, on the quest line, they made the right bet.

"We're not," Xu Wang said, "but we can help you find it. Can you tell us about this in detail?"

The letter in Xu Wang's hand obviously gave them enough trust, and the braided girl immediately invited them in, so she could tell the story of the future.

This love line begins with a letter.

One day, a girl who was just in love, suddenly received a love letter. The love flowing between the lines in the letter made her heart move, but she still mailed the letter back according to the address on the letter, and attached a letter of her own. Tell the other party that the letter was sent by mistake.

But not long after, she received a second letter. The other party said that it was not wrong, the letter was for her, and he loved her.

The girl didn't believe it at first, but she was reluctant to interrupt the communication, because the other party not only told her love in the letter, but also mentioned some interesting things, and even knew some of the girl's preferences. It was really like an old friend who had known each other for a long time.

Slowly, the girl also fell in love with each other, she wanted to see him, but he didn't respond.

The girl simply followed the sender's address and went directly to the door.

That address is the old castle hotel.

But there were so many rooms and so many people in the hotel that the girl had no way to find it, so she had to stay temporarily. Unexpectedly, the other party's letter was sent to her door. Every three days, under the carpet in front of the door, a new message appeared. letter. The girl did the same, putting the reply under the rug.

Qian Ai: "So you came all the way here, and in the end still continued to write letters and fall in love with the other party?"

The braided girl nodded.

Qian Ai was tired listening to it: "I can't understand this kind of romance, what kind of love, what kind of love, how good it is to talk face to face."

"It's called Menglongmei. Do you understand?" Xu Wang suspected that if Qian Ai fell in love one day, the good way to treat that person might be "whatever you like to eat, brother will take you to eat".

Wu Sheng was surprised by Xu Wang's answer.

In the letter back then, this guy kept complaining that the way of communication was too "retro", and he didn't say a word of "hazy beauty" between the lines.

"I've been here for thirteen days, and even if I haven't opened this one, I've received a total of four letters from him," the girl said generously. Her eagerness to find someone outweighed her shyness in revealing her privacy. "The letters in the past are all at home, and now there are only these. Look, can you find any clues in the letter?"

Wu Sheng took the letters, unfolded them one by one on the table, and laid them out side by side.

The partners gathered around the table to observe and study together. The letters were basically in the same format, starting with a love poem, followed by some interesting stories and thoughts about the girl.

Kuang Jinxin asked, "Do you still want to find it according to the age of the poem?"

Qian Ai looked at Wu Sheng and asked, "These poems belong to the same era?"

Wu Sheng shook his head: "No."

Qian Ai looked at Xu Wang again, and found that there seemed to be a lot of things in his captain's eyes, and immediately asked, "Captain, what did you see?"

Xu Wang said, "Good luck."

Qian Ai: "Huh?"

"I said that this guy has a good life," Xu Wang said a little bit on the girl's behalf, "every letter I said, I miss you, and I met a stupid girl, and I really found it, I changed it to someone else, and I broke up long ago. ."

"Maybe he also has difficulties." Wu Sheng suddenly defended the NPC who had never met.

Xu Wang raised his eyebrows curiously: "For example?"

Wu Sheng turned to look at his captain: "For example, he is dead, and now the ghost is communicating with the girl."

Xu Wang: "..."

Is this ...

Qi Shan held up a letter and looked at the light.

Kuang Jinxin came over and thought he had found something.

As a result, Qi Shan put the letter back on the table in disappointment: "There is no black technology for lighting development."

Wu Sheng kept tilting his head to think, and when Qi Shan put the letter back, he picked up the letter again, but it was not one, but four, the same size of paper, stacked on top of each other, facing the light.

Xu Wang leaned over, looked at him together, and finally saw his eyes: "One... Zero... Seven... Four?"

Wu Sheng said, "Well."

The other three partners immediately came over to study, and asked their captain to say the words, and finally understood, no matter how the content of the letter changed, how many inadvertent numbers were in the letter, only these four appeared in a fixed position forever, so there was a stack of letter paper. , only the words in these four places are completely coincident.

Qi Shan was truly convinced: "Amazing."

Kuang Jinxin was already surprised, if Wu Sheng couldn't decipher it, he would be surprised.

Qian Ai has a subtle sense of disobedience. When this love line is in the hands of his own military advisor, why does he feel that he is still going with the puzzle-solving style...

Seeing Wu Sheng put down the stationery, with a "so easy" look, Xu Wang's heart skipped a beat.

The joy that just rose because of finding out the next room number, without warning, turned into a kind of inexplicable anxiety.

The stack of letter paper illuminates the light…

Was Wu Sheng really inspired by Qi Shan, or was he already aware of this move

For such stupid things as correspondence, there have been a few back-and-forths between him and Wu Sheng, and it was Wu Sheng who started it... Could it be that this guy really hid strange secret codes in those letters? !

If it was hidden, what could it be

Anxiety turned into anticipation, and in anticipation, there was a rush of fire, and there was no panic of decline.

Xu Wang frantically recalled the five letters. He could basically memorize the contents of the letters, but it was only basic. How many perverts could use their heads as scanners like Wu Sheng did!

And even if you memorize it, it is impossible to simulate the comparison in your brain. This is not only related to the text, but also to the position... Damn, Wu Sheng is a neuropathy! ! !

Wu Sheng was about to return the letter to the braided girl, but his nose was itchy for no reason.

He resisted the urge to sneeze, and his eyes accurately found his captain: "Are you scolding me in your heart?"

Xu Wang was shocked, but his face was full of "innocent situation": "How is it possible."
