The explosion, which was supposed to be thrilling, obviously couldn't attract too much attention from the three of them in the face of the dungeon rules.

Even Lu Fanqi didn't worry about the danger just now - after all, judging from the current situation of the dungeon, if they didn't go out earlier, they would have to go through many similar things.

Yan also thought about it, and then asked Shen Yongle to read the text message in his phone again.

"When the time and space of the door key is reset, **** can't be noticed by it, **** will restore to the original with **** will."

"This information will be blocked so much, it has actually proved its criticality," he narrowed his eyes slightly, "I guess what Sir Sir means is that when time and space are reset, as long as the key of the door detects the change, will be initialized."

This is undoubtedly one of the most critical rules in the dungeon.

"So, what is Sir Alex's identity to know this rule that cannot be easily obtained by players from the very beginning?"

Yan Ye was not so much analyzing, but more like talking to himself, he pondered for a moment, and suddenly made a surprising guess, "Is it... the key to the door?"

Shen Yongle looked up at him.

The three experienced a lot of dungeons, and soon realized what that might mean.

Shen Yongle spoke slowly: "If reincarnation and reset are caused by the door key, and the player's task is to stop reincarnation..."

Yan Ye: "Then we are likely to match up with the key to the door."

Shen Yongle couldn't hold it back, but in the end he rolled his eyes in the direction of God's perspective.

Akexia finally let him and Yan Ye go this round, did he start attacking Mo Jue again? !

"Don't worry too much," little angel Fanfan comforted understandingly, "Maybe the lord is not a resident of Andrei Town, but maybe a tourist or an anonymous expert, and that's why no one knows his name."

Yan also thought about it, and agreed: "Later, we can try to use the description of Sir Alex's height and appearance, and ask if anyone has seen it."

He turned his head and glanced at the hospital that had been bombed into ruins, "Then where should we go now?"

"The stolen body must be related to the main story line. Even the resurrection experiment may be the source of reincarnation reset. Without other clues, we can only follow this line to find out."

He stretched out his finger, "I personally have two suggestions: the first is to find the person who leads the resurrection experiment, most likely in a school or research institute; the second is to go directly to the cemetery to guard."

Lu Fanqi quickly raised his hand: "I voted for option A. Originally, Lele started playing games at school. We haven't searched there yet, and when looking for someone, we can also ask if anyone has seen Sir Alex... ..."

Yan also obviously prefers the former. After all, the cemetery doesn't throw away corpses every day. They don't know how long the dungeon is, so they can't waste it on aimless waiting.

Shen Yongle unexpectedly pondered for a while before nodding: "Okay."

He was obviously still thinking about something, and he raised his head after a while, begging for mobile phones from Lu Fanqi and Yan Ye respectively: "I want to compare the two photos just now."

"Photo?" Lu Fanqi asked, "Is it the one where I died? The two photos in my phone and Yanyan's are exactly the same, it should be Yanyan who took the photo and sent it to me."

"No." Shen Yongle shook his head, he still spoke slowly, "It's the one from the last round, and, the one from this round."

Only then did Lu Fanqi remember that he didn't die in this episode, but Yan Ye also took a photo on the spot. Shen Yongle probably wanted to compare the differences between the two photos besides him.

The two quickly dug out the photo and handed it to him.

While Shen Yongle made a careful comparison, the other two sorted out all the current clues first.

It is currently known that there are probably people in the small town who are studying the resurrection of corpses, and they have experienced reincarnation over and over again, and at the same time encountered many life and death threats before they had time to collapse.

According to the main thread of the dungeon and Mo Jue's information, the key to the door has the ability to travel through time and space, and the reset of time and space must be caused by the key to the door.Since it is a reset, the photos in Lu Fanqi's phone are not a prediction of the future, but what actually happened in the past round.

In other words, it is now the second round of the game.

And most of Mo Jue's text messages were important clues from the previous round.

Speaking of this, Lu Fanqi has already discovered the first problem: "From this point of view, Sir Sir can't be the key to the door, because his text message is just reminding us of reincarnation, isn't this equivalent to taking the initiative to rebel? ?”

Yan Ye chuckled, "Perhaps the Sir just wants us to win."

"No, it's okay for Sir Sir to want us to win," Lu Fanqi shook his head, "What I mean is, if he is the key to the door, it would be fine if he committed suicide directly or stopped the reincarnation on his own initiative, there is no need to bother to remind us... ..."

Yan Ye tilted his head and thought for a while: "It may also be because he can't stop the reincarnation."

However, the matter of Mo Jue's identity is still just a guess, and there is no need to dwell on it until there is no evidence. They quickly skipped this question and continued the discussion.

"About the number of times the item card can be used."

Lu Fanqi casually verified his item cards and found that some of them were still usable, so he handed the cards to Yan Ye to have a look, "Then it shouldn't be the item cards that are disabled in this dungeon, it's more likely that [Aksha 】It was used in the last round, but it is invalid in this instance.”

"But what I don't understand is," Lu Fanqi frowned, staring at the item card in his hand carefully, "Doesn't the reset rule include the item card?"

He read Mo Jue's message again, "Restore to the initial state by so-and-so's will... Logically, even the item cards have returned to the initial state."

Yan didn't think it was a problem either: "Maybe it's the same as Sir Alex's information and your photo, which are preserved in a special way, so they won't be initialized again."

Fortunately, judging from the two photos of Lu Fanqi, even if there is evidence about a certain established result, in the new reincarnation, this result can still be changed.

Lu Fanqi said: "Why do I feel that the current situation is similar to several movies? I don't know if you have watched it. It is called "Groundhog Day", which means that there is a person who keeps reincarnating one day..." He thought for a while , and quickly denied himself, "No, it should be more like "Happy Death Day", not only in reincarnation, but also constantly encountering various life dangers!"

"I've seen it," Yan Ye raised his eyebrows, "If we look at it from the plot of the movie, we have to go out from the reset day. In fact, it may not need to completely destroy the reincarnation mechanism, but only need to meet a certain condition? For example, live to reincarnation of……"

But when Shen Yongle spoke suddenly, they interrupted their speculation: "The photos... are different here."

Yan Ye and Lu Fanqi both had a meal.

The two quickly leaned over and looked at the part pointed out to him.

It was like a game of finding differences, Shen Yongle patiently compared little by little, and finally it was not a waste of time to find out the barely noticeable difference between the two photos.

It was a book placed next to Lu Fanqi's body.

The cover is very old, with burrs on the edges, and the paper is not as smooth and flat as ordinary printing paper, it looks rough, yellowed and slightly wrinkled, which also makes the whole book much thicker than ordinary books, like It's the magic book prop that's often used in movies about other worlds.

At first glance, this book is not incompatible with the church in terms of painting style, but it is obviously not a Christian reading after careful identification.

Lu Fanqi quickly read the handwritten title on the spine: ""Voynichmanuscript"?"

"What is this?" Lu Fanqi frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't find the answer from the knowledge base related to Cthulhu, "I don't seem to have seen this book, it should not be something in the Cthulhu mythology system... ..."

On the other hand, Yan also quickly zoomed in on the picture, and found an inconspicuous label sticker from the lower part of the spine, on which the number "MS408" was handwritten with a black pen, like a label used to mark a fixed point in a library for easy search.

"It's like borrowing a book from the library, or we go to the library and look it up..."

"No need," Shen Yongle said, "I know this book."

Because it was still inconvenient to speak, he could only use his mobile phone to type and add a brief explanation, explaining the origin and significance of the book to the two of them.

"The Voynich Manuscript is a manuscript with a thickness of more than 230 pages and written in a strange font. The letters in the book are very different from any modern language, and it has not been deciphered so far. It is speculated that it is a reference book for alchemists in the Middle Ages .”

There are even many strange pictures of plants, celestial bodies, etc. in the manuscript, which are not products of any world known to mankind.

This manuscript is estimated to have been produced between 1470 and 1500. More than a dozen scholars tried to decipher it in the 1600s. It disappeared for nearly 250 years, and it was not rediscovered until it was discovered by the bookseller Voynich in 1912.

Over the past 90 years, many of the world's top decoding experts have worked hard to study, but no one has been able to decipher this kind of text called "Voynichese". The true face and source of this manuscript are still a mystery.

A string of failures has turned the Voynich manuscript into the holy grail of cryptography history, prompting the occasional suspicion that it was an elaborate hoax.

However, the frequency of words in the manuscript follows Zif's law, the entropy of letters (the degree to which a letter or other symbol is repeated in a text) is similar to that of Polynesian, and the entropy of words (about 10 bits per word) is similar to that of English or similar to Latin.

These all make people believe that this is really a kind of writing with a complete system that humans have never heard of.

"In 2005, this book was deposited in the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University, under the serial number MS408."

Shen Yongle did not speak quickly, but tried his best to be as clear as possible, probably the medicine that the school doctor gave him had started to take effect, and now his tongue was numb, but at least it didn't hurt so much.

Lu Fanqi nodded, and then shook his head quickly: "Then why is this book here? It can't be that I borrowed it to read it in the last reincarnation, right?"

Yan also obviously thought of something: "It should be a reminder."

He turned his head to look at Shen Yongle, "And it's very clear, it's a reminder for you."

The three of them didn't stop at the same place during the discussion, but seized all the time, discussing and researching clues while walking, and at this time they had reached a crossroads.

To the left is to go to the school that Shen Yongle came to before, and to the right is marked "cemetery".

The three of them had basically reached an agreement. They planned to go to the school to investigate first, find evidence of the resurrection experiment or related personnel, and inquire about Mo Jue's whereabouts based on his appearance, height and characteristics.

Standing at the fork at this moment, Shen Yongle didn't know what to think of, and suddenly stopped.

Yan Ye didn't seem surprised: "What did you think of?"

"A lot." Shen Yongle shook his head, "The most direct reminder of the "Voynich Manuscript" is that there is another world that cannot be explored."

But this world can be the multiverse referred to by zero and one uniform, or it can be the last reincarnation they have deduced before...

even

He glanced at the fog that had gradually spread since he didn't know when, and he always felt that there seemed to be something looming in the thicker and thicker fog, as if another world was also hidden.

Cthulhu, the Keys of the Gate, Yog-Sothoth... plus fog and hints of another world.

It is really hard not to remind people of the producer of the key to the door in the Cthulhu mythology, "The Nameless Mist".

And where the mist begins...is the cemetery.

These messy thoughts were too much for a while, and it was inconvenient for Shen Yongle to speak, so he didn't explain everything clearly to Yan Ye and Lu Fanqi, only the conclusion.

"I plan to go to the cemetery first."

He said, "You're right, Voynich is probably a reminder I left for myself in the last round."

According to the normal way of thinking, if they encountered the current situation in the last round, they probably went to the school without receiving any other prompts.

But... "Since we have started a new round, it probably means that the choice in the previous round was wrong."

That's why he changed his mind even more firmly.

Yan also nodded: "Okay."

Lu Fanqi didn't say much when he heard the words, and turned his head to change direction to go to the cemetery, but Yan Ye took him back in the next second.

Just listen to Big Brother Yan Shi Shiran saying, "Then we will separate here temporarily, you go to the cemetery, Fanfan and I will go to the school to have a look, and we will meet here in two hours."

Lu Fanqi was startled: "What?"

Little Angel was very confused. I don’t know why Yan Ye disagreed and broke up the team. "Should we go separately? But, this dungeon seems to be very dangerous..." He paused, "Although it seems a bit too confident to say that , but I still want to sincerely suggest that you all stay with me."

Yan Ye seemed to have made up his mind: "It will be fine for an hour or two, I believe you are happy."

Seeing Lu Fanqi’s rare objection, he thought about it and gave him a reason, “The reincarnation may not be the wrong choice last time, but some other place where we failed or missed something, so instead of just It’s better to choose one side than both.”

"In addition," he paused, "I also want to verify what kind of existence the door key is—you said, if we are separated, can the door key only observe one side, or can it observe both sides?"

Lu Fanqi wrinkled his nose: "Didn't you say that the key to the door might be Lord Sir? ... But I also think it should be higher than that," he briefly explained the setting of the key to the middle door of Cthulhu , "I feel that it should be everywhere, so no matter how many teams we split into, it can also observe at the same time..."

Yan Ye shook his head slightly: "There is another possibility."

"I didn't see the hint in the photo before, so I guessed the wrong person, but after thinking about it, the real key to the door should not be the Lord Sir..."

Yan also briefly explained the reason for his change of guess: "I just suddenly remembered that the word 'key to the door' in the first half of Sir Alex's message has not been blocked, which means that the second half of the sentence 'recover with the will of **' The asterisk in "initial" is not the key to the door, otherwise there is no need to be blocked."

"In other words, the one who 'observed' may not be the key to the door."

"But if it's not the key to the door, who will reset it to restore the original? This person must be among the people who have experienced reincarnation, so that he can be specially pointed out, attracting our attention and vigilance."

"For example..." He looked up at Shen Yongle, "You."
