When he first saw this string of numbers, Benjamin was a little confused.
what is this
Is it the so-called logic ability test question, where you are asked to find the pattern and fill in the next digit? Or some secret code, a message transmitted by aliens to people on earth through natural phenomena
The style of painting is wrong. The fantasy magic was promised. Why did a math problem suddenly appear
Benjamin did not dare to take it lightly. He knew that this string of numbers might well hide secrets about that world. Therefore, after seeing this string of numbers, he still spent nearly an hour studying them.
It's a pity that he didn't come up with anything.
- He couldn't find the rules, and he didn't understand things like Morse code, so he couldn't crack it. In addition, the book also said that the Pope came up with this string of numbers from memory, and there was a possibility of errors, so Benjamin was even more at a loss.
but…
As if he suddenly realized something, Benjamin stopped his racing thoughts and looked back to think about it.
Is there an error in this string of numbers
Judging from the Pope's tone in the book, he is still very confident in his memory. Therefore, Benjamin feels that even if there is an error in this ratio, the error should be very small, certainly not more than two.
Moreover, if you think about it from another angle, this can be regarded as an idea, right
If only one or two of the numbers in this string are wrong, then he only needs to find the number that is different from the other numbers. In fact, from another perspective, it is equivalent to finding out the internal rules of this string of numbers.
Suddenly, the entire topic changed from password cracking to everyone looking for trouble.
Benjamin couldn't help but want to laugh a little.
So the question is, who is the "traitor" in the numbers
This is not difficult to find. From the simplest perspective, the four numbers are all even, and only the last digit is odd. If the Pope's memory error is the last one, then add or subtract one to it, and you should get the correct element ratio.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, if one person makes a small mistake in something like proportion, it is likely that the entire series of numbers will become completely different, and the meaning of each number will be completely different.
Just like the current string, after Benjamin "corrected" it, he got "16:10:24:24:28" or "16:10:24:24:30". Simplify it again and divide it all by two, which equals "8:5:12:12:14" or "8:5:12:12:15".
… What does this mean
Benjamin was confused again.
After thinking about it, he decided to give it a try himself. So, he closed his eyes, entered the consciousness space, and began to mobilize his water elements, dividing them into five piles in this proportion.
His elemental affinity is not enough to mobilize all the elements. Therefore, in order to pursue speed, he proportionally reduced the shape recorded in the book by the Pope, and finally created five relatively small water elements.
He first adjusted it according to the papal ratio, making it "16:10:24:24:29", but nothing happened. So, he tried his revised proportions again. First it is "8:5:12:12:14" and there is no response, then change it to "8:5:12:12:15"...
Just after Benjamin increased the amount of the last water element proportionally, he suddenly felt that his eyes were blurred and the whole world turned upside down.
"This is… "
He suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at everything around him in astonishment.
This is a strange place. The sky and the earth are pure white, and there are strange characters flashing with holy light around. It is very similar to the world described by the Pope in the book.
Damn...
After a brief daze, Benjamin immediately reacted.
Has he entered that pure white world
However, after observing carefully for a while, he discovered something was wrong again. This feeling is different from the previous feeling when he entered the pure blue world. There is no sense of reality. It seems that he has not really entered. Instead... it feels like he has watched a super-realistic 3D surround sound movie with VR. Movie.
how so
He has never learned magic, and his sensitivity to holy light is basically zero. Logically speaking, it is impossible for him to enter the world of holy light.
Unless...he didn't really come in.
Just when Benjamin was still wondering what was going on, suddenly, he felt as if something hit him hard, and then, an inexplicable emotion surged into his heart.
Before he had time to savor the emotion carefully, he didn't know what was going on. His eyes blurred again, and in the blink of an eye, he returned to his conscious space. In the space, the water elements that he had mobilized in equal proportions were still gathered and did not disperse, proving that Benjamin had been stunned for no more than a second.
This time, the time is very short, making it difficult for people to react, and it even makes people doubt whether they are hallucinating.
what's the situation
Could it be...that it was really an illusion
Benjamin came back to his senses and fell into deep thought again.
Everything that just happened was too sudden, and countless questions arose in his mind. Why does he enter the pope's world of pure white instead of pure blue? But... why didn't he feel the power of the so-called "Holy Light Source" in that world
Has he really entered that world
Suddenly, Benjamin thought of what was written in the book about the Pope’s experience of entering a pure white space. That experience was exactly the same as what Benjamin had just seen!
Thinking about it this way...
Could it be that he didn't really enter another world, but that the experience the Pope wrote about inexplicably reappeared vividly in his mind
Thinking of this, Benjamin quickly reopened "The World of Pure Holy Light" and read this paragraph again. Yes, the experience Pope described was exactly the same as what Benjamin had just seen. He didn't really enter the pure white world just now, but experienced the memory of the Pope at that time.
This is amazing.
The fourth pope has been dead for who knows how many years, and his body should have been well sealed in the church. However, a mysterious experience he had hundreds of years ago resurfaced in Benjamin's mind through this string of numbers.
What was it that carried this memory down and passed it on to Benjamin
A little weird...
After thinking for a while, Benjamin turned his attention back to the five groups of water elements that were gradually spreading out.
In any case, what he can now determine is that the pile of elements at that time undoubtedly represented the series of numbers "8:5:12:12:15". However, the questions in Benjamin's heart still remained unanswered. What does the presence of elements of this proportion mean? Why do they appear like this? Do they exist just to record an experience of the Pope
If he condenses the elements together in this proportion, will he develop any new magic
"Well... I think that what this string of numbers represents may not be some special element ratio that can be used to make explosives or something like that." Suddenly, the system slowly rolled over and said, "I think , it just wanted to send a message.”
Hearing this, Benjamin frowned.
"Why do you think so?"
The system's tone sounded a little hesitant: "I... I don't know, it seems to be an instinctive idea. I don't know where it came from. It may have something to do with the ball I am in." relation."
round ball…
Benjamin nodded thoughtfully.
The current "fish eggs" of the system were also blown out of the pure blue world. If it is an idea that emerges instinctively, then this idea must be related to the pure blue world. Therefore, he actually felt that the system's words had some reference value.
Send a message…
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Benjamin's mind. It suddenly occurred to him that maybe these five numbers represented a certain language, or maybe the element anomaly discovered by the Pope after that experience did not represent a certain pattern, but a sentence or a word.
What could that be
At that moment, Benjamin finally felt a little enlightened.
Although the language system of this world is not the same as English, there are still many similarities. For example, the spellings of most names and some spoken words are very similar to those of the original world. Moreover, the words here are also composed of twenty-six letters.
…twenty-six letters
The previous string of numbers had not been corrected, and the last digit exceeded twenty-six, so Benjamin did not think about it, but now after correction, each number happened to be less than twenty-six.
So, what number does it represent? Which letter does it represent
That's an idea.
Once you have an idea, it will be much faster to start working on the questions. Benjamin immediately returned to reality, started writing, and replaced each number in the order of the twenty-six letters.
Soon, he came up with this string of letters:
H:E:L:L:O.
