The Uncanny Valley Travel Guide

The carriage moved forward at a constant speed, and the wheels rolled on the uneven road, occasionally bouncing.There are small windows in the carriage, but when looking out, you can only see the sparsely populated mountains and forests on both sides, and the rolling hills slowly recede, like slow green waves.

As the sun sets in the west, there is a golden light in the sky, and the purple rays of the sky are entangled with the blushing clouds, like a half-woven brocade woven by the sun.

"Look for clues on your body?" Wen Zheliu was wearing a monk's black robe named Dalaris, with a white and simple Roman collar on the neckline. "We can't be real priests and nuns, right?"

He Qin and Xie Yuanyuan were also dressed as abstinent and solemn monks. The veins on Du Zijun's forehead were twitching, and it seemed that he really wanted to tear off the white-collar black dress on his body and tear it into pieces.

"It's better to give it to me." Du Zijun said darkly.

"It's ok, at least you haven't worn a nun's hat," He Qin said, "That thing is really terrible."

Several people rummaged through the carriage for a while, shaking the carriage so that the bells jingled.The coachman just thought they couldn't sit still, so he leaned out half of his body and said, "Be safe and don't be impatient, dear guests! There is a resting town in front of you. After tonight, you can reach your destination tomorrow morning." !"

"Okay!" Wen Zheliu responded in a hurry, "Thank you!"

Xie Yuanyuan muttered: "What are you talking about? Isn't this the plot world we discussed before?"

"You can't take it lightly," Du Zijun pulled out a spare cross from the pocket of his skirt, he glanced at it, then frowned and stuffed it back, "God knows what might go wrong this time."

Wen Zheliu found a suitcase in the space under the seat, and he turned his head to see that He Qin's suitcase was also underneath, so he hurriedly greeted: "I found the suitcase! Come and see your own suitcase!"

When the two people on the opposite side carried their suitcases on their knees and put them together, Xie Yuanyuan rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Quick, quick, open it and see what's inside!"

As soon as Wen Zheliu pressed his hand on the box, he stopped.

"Can't open it," he said. "A password is required."

"Ah?" Xie Yuanyuan seemed to have been poured cold water on his head, and immediately uttered a drawn-out frustrated syllable, "Well, why does this have a password?"

Without raising his head, Du Zijun groped the suitcase over and over again: "If I give you the password, I must give you a way to decrypt it. I won't set up obstacles for no reason... Tsk, turn on the light."

"That's what I said..." Xie Yuanyuan muttered, "Sister, how bright do you want it to be? Let me see if there is any light in the backpack."

He Qin and Wen Zheliu got together and were still looking for clues on the box. Hearing this, he raised his hand and embedded a night pearl the size of a quail egg on the inner wall of the carriage, instantly illuminating the square inch in front of him. Like daytime.

Wen Zheliu: "..."

He Qin: "?"

"You..." Wen Zheliu looked at him inquisitively, "You made people's cars like this, how will you restore them later?"

"I can keep this thing as fare, baby." He Qin also looked back at him affectionately.

"...Are you rich?" Wen Zheliu remembered just after finishing speaking, "Oh, I forgot that you are indeed rich..."

He Qin: "Except for money, you are the only one left. What's the problem?"

"...No more, excuse me."

"Wait..." The light suddenly brightened, and Xie Yuanyuan seemed to have discovered something suddenly, "Wow, come and see my box!"

The other three people temporarily put down their work and went to check.The two sides of Xie Yuanyuan's box are woven with seemingly light brown rattan, but it is extremely heavy to lift. The edge is also wrapped with a hard and thick white steel ring. There is a six-digit password column on the top of the box.

Two lines of letters are embroidered on the rattan box surface with threads of different colors.

【WHOkilledWKCJPG? 】

Underneath is an inscription, Giovan·Battista·Bellaso.

"Who killed..." Xie Yuanyuan was completely confused when he saw it, "What is this? What is WKC, KFC?"

"That's KFC," Du Zijun said angrily, "It should be something we need to decipher."

"Then who is this Giovan...what?" Xie Yuanyuan asked, "Why is who in uppercase, and killed in lowercase?"

"Giovan Battista Bellaso..." He Qin pondered, "Vignal Phalanx, here is a piece of paper."

Du Zijun frowned: "Vignal code? Is there a key?"

"The capitalized WHO should be the key, right?" Wen Zheliu guessed, seeing that Xie Yuanyuan still didn't quite understand, so he explained to him: "Giovan who inscribed below is the person who invented the Virginia cipher. It requires A 26-letter table is used to decipher. The table has 26 lines in total, starting from A and ending with Z. The initial letter of the next line is the last letter of the initial letter of the previous line. For example, the initial letter of the previous line is A, and the next One line is B, A is moved to the end, and the next line is C, A and B are moved to the end in turn, and they are arranged in this way until Z, and a deciphering table is obtained... It should be like this, right? I just glanced at it, and I also remembered I don't know."

"Hmm," He Qin praised while typing out the form extremely quickly, "Baby said it very well."

"What is the key for?" Xie Yuanyuan was still confused, "How do you all know? Why don't I know anything?"

Du Zijun held up a book - "Theological Research: Simple Knowledge about Cryptography", and then stared at Xie Yuanyuan expressionlessly.

"Let you watch this, why didn't you watch it?"

It was only then that Xie Yuanyuan remembered that before leaving, He Qin asked them to preview all the task rewards about the book. At that time, it seemed that he was the only one who was sleeping late.

He scratched his hair in embarrassment, and Wen Zheliu came out to smooth things over: "Oh, it's enough for someone to see this thing and know it. It's quite boring anyway."

"Leave him alone," the space was narrow, and Du Zijun couldn't smoke, so he twisted the long, white tobacco rod in his hand and snorted, "If he's so foolish again, be careful not to fall into the ditch." inside."

While they were talking, He Qin had already typed up the form, and Wen Zheliu took it over, and began to try to correspond one by one according to the WHO key, "Row W corresponds to the letter W, and the position is the first...the first letter." It's an A."

He read one, and He Qin memorized one.

"Row H against letter K, get D."

"O row against letter C, get O."

Practice makes perfect, and his speed is getting faster and faster, "And so on, if the W line is for the letter J, you will get N; for the H line, you will get the letter P... The last one, the O line is for the letter G, and you will get S, put them together What is it?"

"ADONIS, Adonis," He Qin picked up the paper, "Aphrodite's favorite young lover... Who killed Adonis?"

Wen Zheliu hesitated for a moment, then replied: "...it's Artemis, the moon god. She released wild boars to kill Adonis in order to avenge Beauty."

"MOON, the moon." He Qin said, "Take it in and look at the numbers."

Wen Zheliu then turned back to look at the table again: "M is ranked 17th in row W, O is ranked 8th in row H, 1st in row O, and N is ranked 18th in row W... 178118, try it? "

Xie Yuanyuan rubbed his fingers nervously, entered the six digits in the six-digit password column one by one, and then pushed gently.

"Click", the box opened.

"Oh oh oh!" His eyes lit up, "Open, open!"

The box was opened, and a row of things were neatly placed inside, including a magnifying glass, paper, charcoal pencils, a rope ladder, a quartz watch, and a knife wrapped in a handkerchief. After using the system to identify them, they were all D-level props that could be used.

Wen Zheliu Nahan said: "The things in here... don't look like items carried by a priest, but more like..."

He cleaned the lens, but picked up the magnifying glass with many scratches on it, and asserted: "This is more like a must-have item for a detective."

He Qin said: "There are no password prompts on the remaining boxes, look here."

Xie Yuanyuan took out the things one by one and put them aside, and found a question on the first page of the notebook: "Whokilled Caesar?"

"Who killed Caesar?" Xie Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment, "How do I know who killed Caesar? I'm not the person involved..."

"Caesar died on March 44, 3 BC," Wen Zheliu replied, "15, who is left?"

"It's not me." Du Zijun said.

He Qin calmly pushed the box away, "440315 is me."

He Qin's box does not have as many things as Xie Yuanyuan's. There is only a map, a notebook and a pen in it.He Qin opened the notebook, and on the second page, the owner of the notebook narrated a story with a red notebook.

"...In the ancient East, there were also high-ranking and infatuated women." He read calmly, "The empress dowager of the Wei Dynasty in China was obsessed with the general of her country, and even wrote poems for him, but this general But defected to the enemy's country, and finally died under the sword of the army..."

Wen Zheliu thought this story was very familiar: "The Empress Dowager of the Wei Dynasty... I seem to have heard of this?"

"Hu Chonghua, the Empress Dowager of the Northern Wei Dynasty," said He Qin, "because she loved Yang Hua, a famous general in the dynasty, she wanted to have a happy meeting with him, but Yang Hua was afraid of disaster, so she took her wife and children to Nanliang overnight. "White Flower", to miss my lover."

Xie Yuanyuan asked: "Then where is the password?"

"In February and March in Yangchun, the willows make flowers together. The spring breeze enters the boudoir overnight, and the willow flowers flutter down to the south house. When I go out of the house with love, my feet are weak, and I pick up the willow flowers and cry. Autumn goes to spring and two swallows, willing to take the willow flowers into their nests." He Qin said, "020312, baby, try it."

Wen Zheliu entered the password one by one, and it opened.

There are not many things in his box. There are also a notebook, a pen, and a few old newspaper clippings pasted inside the box. The only special item is a brand new "Three Musketeers" .

"Ah!" Xie Yuanyuan said, "I know this, I've seen it!"

Wen Zheliu stopped flipping the book, he looked up at Xie Yuanyuan, and said with a smile: "What is that?"

"Who killed the Duke of Buckingham, right? In the book, Queen Anna and the Duke of Buckingham were old lovers, but in the end he was assassinated. The time of his death is the code, right?"

Wen Zheliu found the catalogue. In the chapter where the Duke was assassinated, the catalog reads "Chapter 59: Murder at Portsmouth on August 23, [-]".

"280823..." He looked up at Du Zijun, "Try?"

——With the sound of "click", the last box was successfully opened.
