The Novelist Forced to Become Famous

Chapter 36: Divide the troops flag

Views:

After one hour and 20 minutes in the haunted house, Jian Jing got the gameplay of the variety show.

She could feel that Zheng Keyan had no ill will towards her - their careers were not in the same field at all, so who would be so foolish as to make an enemy of someone? When necessary, she was even willing to take her along to show her friendliness.

But the premise of all this is that Jian Jing will not steal her limelight.

Cao Yu's acting skills may be better than hers, but he is not as popular as her. Cai Tong'er has a lot of fans, but she is not as talented as her. Jiang Baiyan has talent and popularity, but his qualifications are far less than hers.

The team's think tank is Advisor Cao, but the C position must be Zheng Dahua.

These are the rules of the game.

As long as she agrees with the two girls' views and expresses her friendly attitude, it will not be difficult for her to integrate into the group, creating a dramatic effect of first estrangement and then harmony.

Win-win.

However, is it necessary

Admittedly, she participated in this program for certain utilitarian purposes, hoping to gain fame, draw more cards, and enhance her own strength. But she didn't have fun, and it seemed that the gains did not outweigh the losses.

Just like it is understandable for people who like traveling to take related jobs, but why do people who don’t like traveling force themselves to travel just to make money

She chose to play the haunted house largely because she wanted to play.

Just like solving a case, although the system has task rewards, she is willing to do it actively because she gets pleasure from it.

After thinking for a while, Jian Jing tactfully expressed her true thoughts: "Actually, I didn't think that far. I was just thinking about another thing. Where did the hotel owner go?"

"Look, my boss's clothes are all in the closet, and there are ID cards and wallets in the bedside table, proving that he has no plans to leave here for a long time. But no one has been here for a long time." She looked around, thoughtfully, "Where did my boss go?"

Jiang Baiyan rubbed his arms and said, "I have goose bumps all over my body. Are you saying that he is still here? He has turned into a ghost?"

"If I were the screenwriter, I would write it like this." Jian Jing joked, "In short, the copper coin magic to suppress evil spirits must be effective, but it is still unknown who it will be used against."

After the broadcast.

Barrage 1: The newcomer is very good, making up for Mr. Cao's shortcomings. Mr. Cao is actually very logical, but he only focuses on the clues he finds, so his reasoning is still a little lacking.

Barrage 2: It's out of place, so awkward

Barrage 3: Do you have to be different? I feel sorry for Yan

Barrage 4: The newcomer is Jian Jing, the original author of "Hide and Seek Kids", pretty cool

Barrage 5: No wonder our Yanyan is so enthusiastic, we should have known each other before

Barrage 6: There is a script confirmed, is he a relative of Asuka's boss?

--

After listening to Jian Jing's analysis, Cao Yu nodded slightly: "That makes sense, so let's find the copper coins first."

"It seems there is none in this room." Han Bo stood at the head of the bed, seeming to hesitate whether to make the bed.

Cai Tong'er was sharp-eyed: "There is a layer here, and there is a note inside." She pulled out a thin note from the interlayer of the diary.

It said: The copper coins have been nurtured in a place that evil spirits dislike. When needed, take them out, place them on the formation diagram, and use the black dog blood as a guide to activate it.

A simple map is also included, including the lobby, kitchen, dining room, toilet, backyard, 204 and xxx.

The last xxx is a symbol with several vertical bars drawn inside the 0.

"Find the nearest toilet first and see if there is anything inside?" Cao Yu commanded.

Han Bo rushed into the toilet and easily found a copper coin tied with a red string in the toilet tank.

"Yeah, that's great." Everyone cheered and sang and danced for a few seconds.

After the performance, everyone decided to split into two groups, one group would go to the second floor, and the other would go to the hall, restaurant, and kitchen, and finally gather in the backyard.

I don't know why, but in the end they all agreed to the plan of dividing the troops.

The team encountered troubles. Everyone had their own thoughts: the tasks on the first floor were heavy, but not as scary as the second floor, where there was a chance to perform; there was a high probability of encountering ghosts on the second floor, so risks and opportunities coexisted.

Han Bo knew that his brain wasn't very good, so he volunteered, "I'll go to the second floor."

"I'll go too." After thinking for a moment, Jian Jing took the initiative to speak.

Jiang Baiyan supported her unconditionally today and said weakly, "Then I... will go too."

"That's good, two boys are safer." Cao Yu found a reason for them and felt relieved.

The competition between guests does not lie in gender, but in whether their positioning conflicts.

Why are Zheng Keyan and Cai Tong'er sisters on the surface, but secretly pulling each other down? It's not that girls like to quarrel, but their positions overlap. For example, if it's a costume idol drama, Zheng Keyan can be cast, and Cai Tong'er can also be cast, so competition arises.

Similarly, Han Bo and Jiang Baiyan are both young actors, so why don’t they have conflicts and were so close last season? It’s probably because of their different positioning.

Han Bo is a singer and is also working hard to act in idol dramas and become a popular star. However, Jiang Baiyan is determined to get into the big screen, so there is no competition between the two.

However, after Zheng Keyan's divorce, her personality changed to that of a strong woman, and her conflicts with Cai Tong'er decreased. As for Jian Jing, although they were hostile to each other at first, it was just an instinctive resistance to competitors.

When they calm down, they realize that they are not the ones who are truly threatened.

It is him, the think tank and strategist of the team.

Jian Jing made him feel threatened. It was understandable that young people behaved badly, but she had the reputation of last season. She was not as good as the young girl, which was tantamount to making wedding dresses for others.

Splitting the troops into two groups and downplaying the contrast is undoubtedly the result that everyone wants to see.

After the broadcast.

The audience didn't understand what the guests were thinking, and everyone became anxious.

Barrage 1: Horror movie starts with a flag, it's going to be bad.

Barrage 2: Xiaohuo is so timid and still goes to the second floor. What’s wrong with him

Barrage 3: High energy warning, there is high energy on the second floor

--

The formation for going to the second floor is as follows: Han Bo leads the way, Jian Jing is in the middle, and Jiang Baiyan is at the rear.

As she walked, Jian Jing picked up the marbles that had fallen on the ground. She counted them and found there were seven in total. She didn't know if it was a coincidence.

Moreover, I don’t know if the production crew has frozen the marbles in the refrigerator. They are cold to the touch, and when you put them in your pocket, the summer heat retreats, which can be considered a good air conditioner.

"Han Bo, please walk slower." Jiang Baiyan pleaded in a low voice.

Jian Jing couldn't help laughing.

She learned from the experience of Yuhui Villa and specially wore a pair of denim overalls that were not easy to expose. Who would have thought that the purpose of preventing exposure was not achieved, but it was convenient for Jiang Baiyan. He couldn't have too much physical contact with her, and he was really scared, so he kept pulling the buckle of her back. He could feel his nervous fingers through the T-shirt.

The candlelight was dim and the darkness was heavy. Han Bo was a little panicked and moved slowly along the wall.

After turning a corner, the stairs lead directly to the second floor.

"It seems like there's nothing... Ah!" Han Bo missed a step and sat down directly on the steps.

Ten centimeters away from him, a black shadow was hanging upside down, twisting and turning on the steps, and its yellow-green scales looked extremely evil.

Snakes. Live snakes.

Even though she knew that this snake was definitely not venomous and its teeth might have been pulled out, Jian Jing couldn't help but feel weak at the knees and pressed herself against the wall, unable to move.

She is also afraid of snakes.

"What is it?" Jiang Baiyan poked his head out cautiously. Seeing that it was a snake, he heaved a sigh of relief. "I thought there was a ghost. Han Bo, you scared me to death."

Han Bo: "Aren't you afraid of snakes?"

"I'm afraid of ghosts." Jiang Baiyan walked over, moved the snake's body with his toes, and made it quietly kick down the stairs.

The snake moved downstairs.

Jian Jing & Han Bo: “…” So bad.

Jiang Baiyan said innocently: "Let's go."

The three of them set out again and reached the second floor with difficulty.

The layout of the second floor is similar to that of the first floor, except that there are rooms on both sides. A quick look shows that there are six rooms on each corridor, arranged three in three, for a total of twelve rooms.

"I remember there were 7 guests on the registration book?" Jian Jing recalled.

Jiang Baiyan nodded: "201, 202, 203, 205, 206, 208, 211."

She was surprised: "You remember it so clearly?"

"I have a very good short-term memory." He said with a little pride, "I only need to read the script once before the show starts, and I have never forgotten my lines."

"Great." After Jian Jing finished praising him, she changed the subject, "This is a bit strange. It's understandable that 204 is not occupied, but why are 207, 209, 210, and 212 not occupied? That's not right."

She was suddenly startled and quickly shone a candle on the room number.

Sure enough, there was a problem with the room number.

The layout of the second floor is as follows:

202..206..208... ... ..210..212..Laundry room

201..203..205..Stairs..207..209..211

There is no room 204.

"What should we do?" Jiang Baiyan asked her.

"Looking for 204." Jian Jing turned left, walked between 202 and 206, and knocked on the doors.

Jiang Baiyan and Han Bo came together to help, but the wall had neither paintings nor any special decorations. It was completely empty. Even when they knocked carefully, there was no hollow sound.

We then expanded the scope to the other three walls, and the result was the same.

"It doesn't look like there is a secret door." Han Bo said.

Jian Jing nodded: "That's another possibility: the room number is wrong. We have to search room by room to determine which room is the real 204."

After the broadcast.

Barrage 1: I love the young lady. She has clear ideas and is a good screenwriter. Are the director team scared

Barrage 2: Production team: It’s over. How can we play now that you’ve seen through us

Comment 3: This is not hard to guess. If you only look for room 204, then the other rooms would have been arranged in vain.

Barrage 4: Request for high energy warning

Barrage 5: The airdrop was successful, the first floor group is super boring, looking forward to the high energy of the second floor group

Barrage 6: Is it interesting to pull and step on it

--

Since we have to search room by room, we need to open all the rooms.

However, all the guest rooms were locked and could not be opened, except room 202.

The door to Room 202 was also locked, but it was a combination lock, and there was a note stuffed in the crack, with three lines of lyrics excerpted from it:

“… came later than usual.”

"Meet in the warmth of love..."

"If lovers, lonely..."

"The missing lyrics have the year," Han Bo spoke first as he encountered a familiar field. "The first snow of 2002, come on, meet in 98, born in 1874."

‌ Directly enter 200219981874.

Not open.

I changed it to 029874, but it was still wrong.

This is a bit embarrassing.

“Neither.” He smiled as if to cover up.

Jiang Baiyan said: "Since they all have years, they must be related to the years. Is the order wrong?"

"The lyrics are arranged in order, so it shouldn't be." Jian Jing analyzed, "This set of passwords should have several layers of encryption, the lyrics are the first layer, and we need to calculate another layer based on the year."

She pondered, "Year... Try the Chinese Zodiac."

"2002 is the Year of the Horse, and 1998 is the Year of the Tiger." Recent years are easy to calculate, but 1874 is too far away. Jiang Baiyan calculated for a while, "1998 minus 120 is 1878, also the Year of the Tiger. Go back four years, and it's the Year of the Dog!"

But 070311 is still wrong.

Jian Jing observed the combination lock and frowned: "The password is very long, and there are a few missing. It can't be the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches."

"what is that?"

"The 10 Heavenly Stems and 12 Earthly Branches combine in turn to form 60 different combinations. Every 60 years, the Jiazi cycle will come again, so one Jiazi cycle is 60 years."

The calculation was a bit complicated, so Jian Jing simply took out the paper and pen she had scavenged from the living room, wrote down all the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, and calculated them one by one.

Heavenly Stems: Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui

Earthly branches: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai

It is known that the Xinhai Revolution broke out in 1911, so it was the year of Xinhai.

Adding forward and subtracting backward, we finally come to the conclusion that 2002 is Renwu, 1998 is Wuyin, and 1874 is Jiaxu, so 2002=907, 1998=503, 1874=111.

The final password is 907503111.
