In the past two days, Lin Huai had never had the opportunity to observe the wind chime carefully.
The height of the wind chime was far above his head. Due to the blind spot of vision, he had no way to observe the bottom of the wind chime blocked by the seven pillars, not to mention the small, almost invisible numbered scratches up.
"0000000?" He repeated the number. "Seven zeros, what's the point of this number?"
After patrolling the third floor, he couldn't find any more clues from the pile of dust. He closed the door, left the third floor, and saw Lu Jin squatting in the corner downstairs.
He looked extremely depressed, and he didn't know whether it was because he didn't have the courage to stop Lin Huai, or he was ashamed to go up with him, or he was shocked by Lin Huai's boldness. After a long time, Lin Huai heard him say: "I finally figured out one thing..."
"Oh, are you finally planning to accept the cruel truth, grow up from now on, and finally become a qualified infinite stream protagonist?"
Lin Huai knelt down to look at his dog's head, and Lu Jin continued, "I finally understand that Dad will always be Dad..."
"Daddy!" he yelled, "Hold my thigh!"
Lin Huai: ...
He put the phrase "Actually, you don't have to care about it at all because I didn't do this with a mortal determination" to the back of his mind. Then, Lu Jin asked again: "What did you bring down?"
"A string of wind chimes."
Lin Huai lifted the wind chime, and the seven silver pillars shook slightly in the air. Looking at the string of wind chimes, Lu Jin sighed, "It's the first time I've seen wind chimes with such uniform length..."
His unintentional words reminded Lin Huai of something.
In the past two days, the lengths of the wind chimes they saw were all uneven. Does this mean that there is some truth in their lengths
Recalling the seven zeros, Lin Huai suddenly had a bold idea.
'Seven short silver pillars are seven zeros. Is such a long silver pillar one? '
'If it is four short and three long, it is zero one zero one one zero. What does this number mean? Could they be related to the identities of those women? '
Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to go downstairs to observe the patterns of the wind chimes at the doors of all the women in white. At this moment, Lu Jin accidentally released the wind chime and dropped it to the ground.
The wind chime fell to the ground, and when he hurriedly picked it up, it made the sound of silver pillars colliding with each other. The sound echoed in the silent hall on the second floor, Lu Jin's face turned pale, and he tightly covered the wind chime.
- Suffered!
This was his first thought.
If each wind chime hung in front of each house represents a different woman in white, then this wind chime on the third floor represents the witch on the third floor without any surprise!
"Da da da… "
Footsteps gradually came from the first floor. It seemed that someone was going up the stairs.
"I-"
"..."
Lin Huai stepped forward and looked downstairs.
Finally, a person appeared at the stairs.
"Hey," Du Chongshan greeted the two of them, "You haven't left yet?"
Only then did Lu Jin feel relieved. Du Chongshan sat in the living room carelessly, took out a bag of potato chips from the package, and started to chew. Seeing the two people staring at him, he blinked and handed them the bag of potato chips: "Have some?"
Lin Huai didn't speak. Lu Jin's head went into a convulsion, and he took a piece.
"What about you?" Du Zhongshan looked at Lin Huai.
"..."
"Don't be nervous, your brother and I are acquaintances, so I won't cheat you no matter what." Du Chongshan said with a smile.
"Acquaintance?" Lin Huai asked intentionally, "Isn't he a betrayer of your organization?"
"There are so many traitors in our organization." Du Zhongshan stuffed himself with a few more potato chips, "The captain's younger brother is one, Ruoshui is one, the previous lunatic is one, he is... oh, recently Run one. We're used to it."
Lin Huaixu said with a narrowed eye: "... an organization that is so accustomed to 'betrayal' is really a bit pathetic. Could it be that your organization's real identity is a famous detective ○ a certain winery in Nanli..."
He simply sat down cross-legged: "Come back so early, have you found the human women in your jurisdiction?"
Du Zhongshan licked the crumbs on his fingers, and said, "No, I didn't find any."
Lin Huai: ...
Under Lin Huai's extremely contemptuous eyes, he said brazenly: "Actually, I didn't look for it seriously two days ago. Anyway, my purpose is not to clear this game..."
"Are you people in the high-level field so powerful?" Lin Huai tapped the table with his fingers, "There are 115 evil spirits here, you..."
Among the 115 evil spirits, even Lin Huai couldn't guarantee that he would be able to escape unscathed, let alone Lu Jin, who was a motivator by his side. This is also the reason why he has been playing games so seriously and actively recently. Du Zhongshan opened the second bag of potato chips, and continued: "It's okay, I have a disposable protective cover on my body, which can be opened when the evil spirit goes berserk, enough to keep me going until the end of the seventh night and the opening of the examination room."
That shield sounds like a really good thing. Lin Huai suddenly had a little more judgment on the man in front of him. He moved his wrist quietly behind: "Then you are quite rich..."
"I have no money and I am poor. I applied for this protective cover from the captain before I came to the intermediate field for a business trip. I can't afford it myself. If I don't use it up, I have to return it after I leave the examination room." Du Zhongshan said carelessly. , "Anyway, it's public travel and reimbursement from public funds. It's not for nothing, hehe."
Lin Huai: "... The cohesiveness of your Chenxing team is really worrying."
All of a sudden, in Lin Huai's eyes, the one of the best mercenary organizations that many players were fascinated by became a gathering place for traitors, public money eaters, and gin. Du Chongshan continued: "But the reason for my business trip here - even if you are Tian Chu's younger brother, I can't tell you."
Lin Huai: ...
Du Chongshan continued to say meanly: "Unless you call me brother."
"Then you recorded it and played it to him?" Lin Huai shrugged, "The relationship between you seems to be quite bad."
Du Zhongshan: "Bingo."
Du Chongshan was obviously joking, and Lin Huai didn't take this promise seriously. After eating two bags of potato chips, Du Zhongshan, the thief of public funds, yawned and went back to his room to sleep. His purpose seems to be something that will appear after the evil spirits riot and the wall collapses, so he has no interest in this copy.
Lin Huai continued to study the wind chime in the hall on the second floor and Lu Jin. Lu Jin escaped from the witch's hands, and was rejoicing. Lin Huai beside him said, "I don't quite understand why the witch didn't appear... Is it because she didn't hit it with a bamboo pole?"
As he said that, he took out the bamboo pole and was about to strike the wind chime that he hung in the hall. Lu Jin was completely out of his wits: "Father! Don't play dead!"
Lin Huai turned a deaf ear to this. He knocked three times, but the witch he was expecting did not appear. The wind chime marked "0000000" is like a dead ornament, useless except pretty.
It seems that this wind chime has no special use. Lin Huai originally pointed out that it could be used to summon a witch and ask her to provide certain information.
He put the wind chime in the package, and decided to investigate the second clue indicated on the wind chime—the length of the wind chime and its serial number.
It is really difficult to approach and pull the wind chime without disturbing the female ghost in the room. But fortunately, Lin Huai can already record the position and number of the long and short silver pillars of the wind chimes by only looking at them from a distance without playing around. In view of the central symmetry of the wind chimes, it was difficult to find a starting point, so he simply started from a random one and recorded the order and distribution of the lengths of the silver pillars of each wind chime.
This project is a little bit huge. It took him an entire afternoon to complete all the recording work in areas c and d.
After completing the recording work in area C, Lin Huai stretched. Just as he was about to go back, he heard the voice of a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks coming from Area B:
"How can it be, you are so much better than her, oh, you still don't believe it..."
He stood there for a long time, and in the distance, a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks was talking and laughing happily with a woman in white.
On the third day, the woman's mask had been cracked by 1/3, revealing her bloodshot, erosive and protruding eyeballs from under the remaining cover. Not long after, the woman smiled coquettishly and returned to the room. And the man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks also breathed a sigh of relief at this time.
When the man turned his head, he met Lin Huai's eyes. He couldn't help but angrily said, "Why the hell are you looking at me?"
Lin Huai shrugged: "Nothing."
He turned to leave, but the man seemed to be irritated by his attitude, and caught up with him: "You think I am willing to flirt with them? Tell you, this is a trick! Playing with them and stirring up their mutual jealousy Heart, let’s see which one has human feelings, which one is the real human being! I have a lot of women in reality, you..."
Lu Jin hurriedly persuaded the fight: "Oh, we didn't..."
The man's foul language is endless. When he saw Lin Huai's notebook, he showed a questioning expression: "Why are you in my area?"
He seemed to have thought of something, his face suddenly changed, and he began to push and push people: "Isn't it enough for the two of you to have two fucking districts? Are you still here to compete with Lao Tzu for the territory? Get out, get out of me!"
Lu Jin became anxious: "Why are you so ignorant? We..."
"You really treat yourself like an onion."
The man grabbed Lin Huai's arm and was about to fire. Lin Huai stared at him, sneered, and grabbed the man's wrist.
After the crisp cracking sound, the man let out a miserable cry.
"You... you fucking! You fucking broke Lao Tzu's hand!"
Regarding the man's accusation, Lin Huai did not waver. He smiled softly, and suddenly pressed close to the man's ear and said, "You're so hot, I'm helping you—look, your wrist is broken, so pitiful—"
He flicked the man's wrist, aggravating the other's injury: "Now is a good time for you to go in and find them to gain sympathy. Those who express excitement about the smell of blood are evil spirits. Those who bandage you patiently are Human beings. I am creating conditions for you to further identify, understand?"
He didn't mention the negative impact of a man's broken bones in a dangerous environment, and his expression was sincere, as if he was really thinking about the other party.
"Actually, I'm not that angry on weekdays." He said again, "It's just that I've been a little ptsd towards men recently. One wanted to lick me, and the other wanted to grab my hand. I couldn't help it for a while. Alas, men and women can't stand kissing." , boys go out alone, pay attention to safety... "
After speaking, he patted his hands and left the crime scene. The man was left alone screaming in pain.
Soon it was dinner time again, and this night, the behavior of ordinary men became more and more weird.
After drinking the vegetable soup, he kept scratching his arms, back, even his abdomen and thighs, as if something made him itchy unbearably. Bloodshot eyes began to emerge from his eyes, but his voice became thinner and his expression was extremely feminine, resembling a woman.
"—I always feel that his chest seems to be a little bulging." After returning to the room, Lu Jin asked in horror, "Am I alone?"
"Well, you're human."
Lin Huai answered absent-mindedly. He bit his pencil and thought about the "0" and "1" on a few pages. Seeing that he was too lazy to pay attention to him, Lu Jin also crawled over to think.
The two of them thought for a while, and Lin Huai's earrings rang.
"Hello." Chu Tianshu's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Are you there?"
"I'm here, big brother." Lin Huai said.
There was silence on the other side of the earrings for a while, and then, Chu Tianshu's surprised voice said: "...you are so good today, why do you take the initiative to call me brother?"
Lin Huai: ...
"Over there, the copy is finished?" He bit the tip of his pen.
"There is still some finishing work." Chu Tianshu said.
"What's the end?"
"Accidentally collapsed here, the examiner cried and asked me to pay compensation. If I don't pay him, he will hang himself." Chu Tianshu said helplessly, "I really have no way to give 'you just lost One life, and I lost my love' answer."
Lin Huai: "...you are a good person."
Chu Tianshu was issued a good person card out of nowhere. He sat on the boundless ruins, watching his little robots quickly clean up the battlefield, listening to the sound of brushing the ground and pencil rubbing against paper.
After a while, the pencil stopped.
"Don't bite the nib," he warned.
Lin Huai "..." and rescued the tip of the pen from her teeth.
It was still raining in the sky. It seems that the rain will not stop until the examiner stops crying—Chu Tianshu watched the rain while thinking about finding a visa office to apply for a visa to "Evil Spirit Mermaid Island", so he said: "You are here What are you doing?"
"Hmm..." Lin Huai thought for a while, "I'm thinking about 0 and 1."
Chu Tianshu: ...
