"It seems that classmate Xiaoying is in trouble?" Moriarty's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, as if he was right behind him.Du Ruoying quickly turned around and looked around, but there was no one around.

"What's the situation?" Du Ruoying asked tentatively, "You ran out?"

"How is that possible? You didn't start Mission [-]." Moriarty said, "Actually, after you completed Mission [-], the system synchronized our hearing. It seemed to be a reward. So I spoke in the system. , you can hear it too."

"I see." Du Ruoying replied casually, and then continued to concentrate on thinking about the situation in front of her.

Why is there no signal on the mobile phone? Obviously, during the previous research, the signal was always full... Could it be that Wang Fanfan put a signal jammer near the deep pit?

Although it is said that such things as jammers can be bought on a certain treasure, but she is obviously a temporary prank, right?It started planning after being deprived of the first place in the grade yesterday.Then she obviously didn't have time to shop online, so she had to go to a nearby physical store to buy it.

With Wang Fanfan's IQ, can he really think so carefully in such a short period of time?Was her mind so meticulous before?

"Hello, Mo." Du Ruoying said suddenly, "You are in the system, besides me, can you contact other people?"

"How could that be?"

"But—you ordered Wang Fanfan to do the thing that made me fall into the pit, right?"

"Oh, Xiaoying's intuition is really surprising."

"...Since you said that you cannot contact other people in the system, how did you instruct Wang Fanfan?"

Moriarty smiled: "I am so quick to answer, what's the benefit?"

What a tough guy...

Du Ruoying pondered for a moment, and then said: "It must be boring to stay in the system space all the time doing nothing, right? Since we can transfer files between us, I can also send you some e-books to pass the time, as long as you are willing." Answer my question obediently."

"Oh?" Moriarty narrowed his eyes slightly, "E-book...? Sounds good. Then I'll kindly tell you the answer."

Everything happened on the night when the pavilion was built.

At that time, seeing Du Ruoying walking towards her own model so resolutely, Moriarty realized that the trick of the bracelet was useless.If he wanted to lure her to start mission two, he had to redesign a strategy.

Then he noticed Wang Fanfan's models and drawings.

"That student gave me a very pitiful feeling." Moriarty said, "Her model left a lot of tiny glue marks at the joints of the parts, which shows that she has repeatedly pasted it every time." Many times, presumably to strive for perfection.

However, since she did not hesitate to leave glue marks, it can be seen that she does not have obsessive-compulsive disorder in pursuit of perfection.So—in fact, it was forced by external forces, and I had to do my best.

In addition, judging from the drawings she drew, the drawings are exquisite and complicated, but the lines are very anxious.It's obviously the first level in the grade, why are you so anxious?It must have been bitten by you, the second grader, right? Moriarty calmly analyzed, "So, I took advantage of it a little bit." "

"Then you stuffed a note into her model to let her lure me into a trap?" Du Ruoying thought intently, "In such a short time?"

"As expected of you." Moriarty said, "That's right, I stuffed the note. Also, I wasn't sure if she was as proficient in English as you were, so what I left behind was stick figures instead of words. "

At that time, he took a pencil stub and waste paper from the tool box at the Yeats booth next to him, and then drew a few stick figures—one was sitting at his desk for an exam, one fell into a deep pit, and the other was holding a stick figure. trophy.

Then, he added a logo of a telephone receiver and put a cross on it.Because he considered that since Du Ruoying took the video call as a normal thing, it can be seen that she has a high probability of carrying a communication tool that can make video calls with her.In order to prevent her from calling for help from the outside world, it must be resolved.

If he was really a top student with similar grades to Du Ruoying, he should be able to understand the meaning of these pictures.He thought so at the time, then folded the paper and stuffed it under Wang Fanfan's model.

Listening to Moriarty's explanation, Du Ruoying couldn't help laughing.

"However," Moriarty continued, ignoring her ridicule, "that girl named Wang Fanfan seems to be more impatient than I imagined. My original intention was to let her make you fall during your final exam." You're missing the exam, but, seeing how calm you are now, there shouldn't be a final exam today, right?"

"Well, the exam is still far away." Du Ruoying smiled, "So, you entrusted no one, hahaha. It's a pity that the plan fell through."

"Oh? Did you fail?" Moriarty's tone was still very leisurely, "Let me guess, the pit you fell into should be in a deserted place. And your communication has been cut off, so you can You can’t ask for help. Coupled with your limited physical ability, I’m afraid it’s not enough for you to climb up smoothly. Therefore, if you don’t want to ask me to come out to help, you can only stay here without water and food for a long time, or wait for Wang Fan to climb up. Classmate Fan found out with conscience, and came back to pick you up."

Du Ruoying's smile froze immediately.

Uh, Moriarty, as a rotten countryman in the 19th century, not only quickly adapted to the complex situation of an eastern country in the 5st century, but also restarted Manipulating Others like a fish in water. A past karma of crime? !It really deserves to be the "Napoleon of crime"...

She wiped the cold sweat off her forehead, forced a smile, and asked, "Why do you, a foreigner in the last century, know so much about our country's current grade point rules and palace fighting routines?"

"Have you ever heard Bach's Infinity Canon, from his Musical Offering to King Friedrich?"

"Huh?" Moriarty's irrelevant answer obviously made Du Ruoying a little confused.

He went on to explain calmly: "In that melody, the so-called infinite ascent is only an illusion, its essence is just a very simple cycle, relying on the clever transposition of three parts-in this respect, history is also Same thing. People always feel like history is moving and changing, it’s just because they don’t see the cyclical nature.”

"So that's it, the high-level version of the saying 'The essence of human beings is a repeating machine'..."

"Repeater?"

"No...it's nothing..." Du Ruoying coughed twice and said, "So what is task two, let me tell you about it?"

"Easy," Moriarty sent a PDF as he said, "Just blow the tires of an electric car with the license plate number 191029."

"It's unreasonable. My mobile phone has no signal, but I can receive the files you sent." Du Ruoying opened the PDF in displeasure, and then slowly read it.

The PDF describes the requirements of task two in detail, and talks about two ways to activate task two.One is to send the text "I do" in the dialog box, and the other is to directly say the sentence "Start task [-]" in the auditory synchronization mode to verbally activate the task. .seven

The file quickly turned to the end.

"It's really a system full of evil tastes." She complained, "Speaking of which, you are also the famous Lord of Crime, are you willing to be manipulated by such an unknown system?"

"If we really want to talk about playing tricks, why isn't each of us being played with by a system called 'fate' for the rest of our lives?" Moriarty chuckled lightly, as if he wasn't irritated by her.

This made Du Ruoying feel a little disappointed: "Then why did you resurrect, not Sherlock Holmes? Did you pick the lock of hell?"

"Hahaha, classmate Xiaoying is so funny." Moriarty said indifferently, "To be honest, I also hope that Sherlock can be resurrected together, otherwise—the days to come will be too monotonous. Maybe at this moment He is also assisting others to solve the case in another system..."

At this time, a few small footsteps interrupted their chat.Du Ruoying suddenly raised her head and listened carefully.That's right, footsteps, it sounds like there should be two people.

Great, someone is coming!

Realizing this, Du Ruoying quickly pressed the lock screen button, and then smiled secretly at Moriarty: "Mo, have you read Clausewitz's "On War?"

"Oh?" Moriarty made a meaningful voice, but didn't answer, as if he wanted to wait for her to finish speaking.

Hmph, I told you to pretend to be 13 with Bach, can't you talk now?Du Ruoying suddenly became proud: "Clausewitz believes that no matter how carefully deployed a war is, it cannot resist the appearance of 'chance'. 'Chapter' makes a seemingly clear-cut war full of opportunities and misfortunes. It becomes a gamble with an unknown outcome. This is why people often say that a perfect crime cannot be realized." Du Ruoying said, "Now, this 'accident' that breaks your perfect plan comes."

Moriarty fell into a brief silence, while Du Ruoying began to call for help.

Above the deep pit, the mysterious footsteps are getting closer...
