All-day duel with Hei Lian boyfriend
Chapter 53 Finding the Black Lady Game I
"When did you owe me a favor?" Jiang Si scratched his head, vaguely feeling that what Liang Qingshu said was related to the claw machine game just now, but he couldn't figure out what it meant.
Liang Qingshu didn't explain any more, and took them to the activity room of the English Literature Club, but was blocked by members of the Literature Club at the door.
This club member knew Liang Qingshu, and treated him respectfully: "President, we can only sign up for this game by one person, and you, a large group of people..."
"It's okay." Yu Shen stepped forward and smiled at the members, "The rest of us don't sign up, we just follow along and listen to the rules."
The members were stunned by his smile, and it took a while to recover, and whispered: "...If it doesn't violate the rules, it's not impossible."
After speaking, the members moved away slightly, and several people entered the activity room smoothly.
When entering the door, Liang Qingshu said to Yu Shen, "Your words really work", in a tone that couldn't tell whether it was ridicule or fun.
"If you need help, you can ask it." Yu Shen said.
Liang Qingshu snorted noncommittally, and took the lead in taking the seat in the front row.
Yu Shen shook his head. Together with Wang Ruolan, he was arranged in the back row by the members and could only be temporarily separated from the others.
Taking advantage of no one else, Wang Ruolan approached Yu Shen and said, "Yu Shen, since it's a single-player game, I think we should leave it alone? Why don't we go to other clubs?"
Yu Shen replied coldly: "Signing up in the name of an individual does not mean that only individuals are allowed to participate."
"What do you mean?" Wang Ruolan was stunned, "You mean you want us to assist the president? Isn't this a violation?"
Her voice was a little loud, and Yu Shen made a movement to silence her.
Wang Ruolan frowned slightly: "This is the president's own debt of favor, for you it should be..."
"It's related." Yu Shen interrupted her mercilessly, "I have to pay back this favor."
Wang Ruolan couldn't say any more words to refute, and bit her lips in annoyance.
She originally thought that according to Yu Shen's indifferent personality, she would leave directly when she saw that the game had nothing to do with her, but she didn't know that Yu Shen was unexpectedly obsessed with this team.
why?
Is it because he used 1 chip to "pick up the leak" to Liang Qingshu after Jiang Si?
Wang Ruolan looked at Liang Qingshu and Jiang Si who were sitting in the front row with displeasure, her expression became more and more ugly.
The registered players waited for a long time in the activity room of the English Literature Club, before the dealer who organized the game arrived.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm late. It took me a while to set up the scene and organize the actors." The croupier was a sweaty fat man who kept bowing as soon as he came, "Now I will explain to you rule."
There was a moment of silence in the activity room.
"Since everyone has come here, you should know that our game this time has something to do with Shakespeare's "Sonnets", right?" "?"
"I know, I still know, but I can't talk about knowing more..."
"Those who have learned a few Chinese poems before don't know the English ones."
"Sonnets? Learned them in elementary school."
People in the seats below replied one after another, "I have learned it", and the croupier happily asked them to stand up and talk about what the "Sonnet" is mainly about.
Those people hesitated for a long time, but none of them could answer.
He didn't hear the answer he wanted, and the croupier showed a regretful expression on his face, and said disappointedly: "Forget it, it doesn't matter if I don't know... Let me explain in detail for everyone."
"Shakespeare's "Sonnets" was written between 1590 and 1598. There are 154 poems in the book, which are divided into two parts. The first part is the first 126 poems, which describe a young and handsome nobleman; the second part From the 127th to the last one, it describes a beautiful woman who overwhelms the country."
"And our game this time is related to this beautiful woman. According to Shakespeare's description in the poem, this beautiful woman is young, good at music, has beautiful black hair, black eyes, and a rather weird Because of her dark skin, the world also calls this beauty 'Mrs. Black'."
"Although Mrs. Hei is not the aesthetic appearance advocated by the mainstream, Shakespeare believes that only such pure black beauty is the real beauty without embellishment. He praised Mrs. Hei in his poems, almost All the compliments in the world are dedicated to her."
"However, it is such a seemingly perfect and peerless beauty who is not faithful enough in love and is frivolous. According to Shakespeare's description in the poem, Mrs. Hei was ambiguous with the poet at first, but then abandoned him. , defected to a young and handsome aristocrat—that is, the young aristocrat described in the first 126 "Sonnets."
Hearing this, someone in the audience laughed ambiguously: "It turns out that this is still a love triangle."
"Yeah, a love triangle." The croupier heard this and gave him a blank stare.
The croupier cleared his throat and continued to narrate the background emotionally: "Our game today is called 'Looking for the Black Lady'. Why is it called that? It is because no one has found out the true identity of the Black Lady. Historians have spent more than four centuries with only plausible answers."
The story doesn't sound bad, and the dealer is telling it here, and people are already searching on their phones and tablets.
The person who found it also happily echoed the croupier and said: "I found it! Historians have put forward four possibilities for the identity of Mrs. Black, namely, Queen Elizabeth I, the mother of the famous poet Daphnant, and the Lucy, a black prostitute in London, and Shakespeare's own wife, Anna Hathaway."
"Someone has indeed proposed these four possibilities, and each guess is based on history." The croupier agreed, "But..."
"Twelve kinds." Before the croupier finished speaking, Yu Shen, who had not said a word, suddenly spoke out calmly.
The croupier was slightly taken aback.
"Historians have made twelve guesses about the identity of Mrs. Hei." Yu Shen looked at the croupier and said, "And I counted just now, and there are exactly 12 players participating in this game. Probably intending to make a kind of black lady correspond to a player?"
The croupier smiled with satisfaction.
"That's what it means." Excitement oozes from the croupier's voice, "Although this game itself can be played without the historical background, since it is an activity of our English literature club, we must have our own characteristics. No, we paid 100 chips for this game, but in your eyes it's just a vulgar money game."
After Jiang Si heard what the croupier said, he said to You San with disapproval: "What's the matter with this croupier? If you say the rules, you say the rules, why are you still shooting? Is there anything wrong with loving money? As long as you can win the game Enough?"
"In order to reward the player who answered correctly just now," the croupier said with a raised voice, "we will give him an item card, which can be used in the official game."
Jiang Si: "..."
"Sorry," Yu Shen said out loud, "but I'm not a player. Can I transfer the item card to someone else?"
"Sorry, item cards cannot be transferred." The croupier scratched his head and said, "In this case, let's replace it with a clue card. Clue cards can be transferred."
Yu Shen: "Clue card?"
"Yes, clue cards are obtained by every player during the game, but a large number will also be beneficial to victory." The croupier explained briefly, coughing heavily on purpose, "Now it's up to the Let me tell you how to play this game."
Finally, it was time to talk about the rules, and the students who were arguing because Yu Shen took the prop card became quieter.
"Please wait a moment, everyone. Now we need to invite our actors to appear." After the dealer finished speaking, he picked up his mobile phone and made a call.
It sounds like someone on the other end of the phone is being invited to come over, and I can hear the other party keep saying "I'll be there soon, I'll be there soon".
After a while, a group of well-dressed female voices came in from outside.
The number of girls was exactly twelve, each of them wore heavy makeup and hair, and dressed up like English women in the [-]th and [-]th centuries. There are also upper-class nobles.
The players in the audience realized that they were wearing the twelve "black ladies" that the croupier just mentioned. "In order to let everyone have a deeper substituting experience, we specially recruited twelve girls to play the role of Mrs. Hei, and set up a real event scene outdoors." Please move to the school gate to gather."
"After the game starts, the black lady played by these twelve girls will be hidden in a corner of Qianle City. After that, every half an hour, they will change their hiding positions, and they will move 16 times in total. The goal is to chase after Mrs. Hei, guess where they will go next, until they find out Mrs. Hei."
As soon as these words came out, many people below understood that this was a hunting game, Mrs. Hei was the prey, and the players were the hunters.
But there were also quick-witted protests: "Wait a minute, you said Mrs. Hei would be hiding somewhere in Qianle City? How do we find it? Do you know how many potholes there are in Qianle City?"
"That's right, if Mrs. Hei hides in any apartment casually, she won't be able to find her if she thinks hard!"
"It seems to rely on luck to guess."
The croupier increased the volume of the microphone and suppressed the voice of dissent.
"Of course we know what you said! So for the sake of fairness, we stipulate that Madam Hei will not just hide in some unknown corner."
"We have specially delineated 11 locations, which are named after places in Shakespeare's time, namely the Extrajudicial Dungeon, Falcon Stairs, Cornhill, East Creek, Clerkenwell, Crippler's Gate, St Paul's Cathedral, Blackfriars, Bishopsgate, Southwark, London Bridge."
"—Everyone, please look at the big screen."
The people from the English Literature Club turned on the teaching electronic screen behind the croupier at some point. Everyone looked at it and found that a map of London in Shakespeare's era was reflected on it.
The place names marked on the map are exactly the 11 place names that the croupier just read.
"What, what is this?" You San was almost blind, and murmured in surprise, "To the east of Clerkenwell is Crippler's Gate, and to the southwest of St. Paul's Cathedral is the Black Friars... I can't remember at all."
"Shut up." Liang Qingshu was annoyed by his quarrel, "These locations correspond to Qian Le's locations, and there is no need to memorize them."
You San really wanted to ask how to deal with it, but looking at the impatient Liang Qingshu, he dared not ask.
"It's very simple." Jiang Si took the initiative to explain to You San, "As you said just now, Clerkenwell's east side is next to the Kripler Gate, so if Clerkenwell is our Where is the school's club building, the Cripler Gate supposed to be?"
You San recalled the map of the new campus in his mind, and said, "That should be a certain teaching building in the East District."
"Bingo." Jiang Si said, "Just by reasoning like this, isn't it obvious which location the whole map corresponds to?"
"But the premise of what you said is that Clerkenwell is indeed the club building." You San| retorted, "If it's not the club building, but somewhere else, then it's not a wrong deduction from the beginning."
"If the derivation is wrong, push it again. Haven't you played Sudoku? Sudoku is the same as this map." Jiang Si patted You San on the shoulder, "Besides, if you can't push it out, can't the president also push it out? ?”
You San looked towards Liang Qingshu.
To be honest, Liang Qingshu's tutor is really good. Even in this situation, he sat upright with grace, and the elbow that propped his chin out of impatience also showed an elegant arc, which matched the confidence in his eyes. Pride complements each other.
For some reason, at this moment, You San suddenly felt that Liang Qingshu and Yu Shen were alike in some respects.
He couldn't help but wonder what would happen if these two people really teamed up.
"The twelve black ladies will only go to these 11 places. Once they go to other places, it will be considered a violation. If anyone finds out, they can report to us." The croupier is still explaining to the players, "And let me remind you again, black ladies There are rules to follow, not completely random. I think in this way, no one should find it difficult to find, right?"
After saying this, the players who had opinions finally fell silent.
"If there is no more objection, I will continue to explain the rest of the rules." The croupier said, "It has been mentioned just now that there are a total of twelve players in this game, and Mrs. Hei also has twelve, so one player corresponds to the other. A black lady, everyone just needs to find their own black lady, and there is no need to interfere with each other."
"The way to find it is also very simple. We won't let you search like headless chickens. We will send everyone a watch with GPS positioning installed. The watch will update your corresponding location every half an hour. Based on the location information of the Black Lady, players can calculate the next location of the Black Lady based on this information, so as to find the Black Lady faster and easier."
After speaking these few paragraphs, the croupier asked the members waiting nearby to give a watch to all the players present.
Liang Qingshu put the watch on his wrist, and after turning it on, he found that there were a red dot and a blue dot on it, and the two dots were very close to each other.
The croupier himself had a demonstration watch in his hand. He pointed to it and said, "The red dot represents Mrs. Hei, and the blue dot represents your current position. Mrs. Hei is in this activity room now, so you You should see red and blue dots next to each other."
"How about the president?" Jiang Si winked at Liang Qing and said, "Do you think this GPS works well? If it doesn't work, I'll secretly install one on Mrs. Hei?"
Liang Qingshu glanced at him coldly: "Do you know which Mrs. Hei I correspond to?"
Jiang Si was taken aback, and looked blankly at the twelve "Black Ladies" who were standing together on the stage.
These girls seemed to all look the same after putting on makeup and dressing up. Jiang Si stared at them for a long time, until he saw several girls turned their heads and stared at him. of.
Jiang Si whispered: "Just let everyone pretend to be one..."
Other players also found the same problem, and asked the dealer: "Wait a minute, this GPS only has red dots and blue dots. I can't tell which one is my corresponding Mrs. Hei, so I still can't find it!"
The croupier smiled slightly: "This matter is easy to solve. First of all, the initial hiding places of the 12 black ladies are scattered, and not all of them will be crowded in one place, so don't worry about being confused."
"Secondly, whenever you are within 1000 meters of your corresponding black lady, our members will send you a clue card with a clue similar to 'your black lady likes to drink black tea' Or "Your Mrs. Hei has a good literary quality", and these clues are in line with historical facts. As long as you collect a certain number of clue cards, you can easily deduce the identity of your Mrs. Hei .”
While talking, the croupier motioned for the female club members to show off their outfits and outfits.
The girls came to the stage one by one according to the instructions of the dealer, so that the players could remember their outfits.
"The outfits of these black ladies are also one of the clues." The croupier said, "If you deduce the identity of your corresponding black lady, then ask passers-by on the street if they have seen a girl with a similar dress. I think it should be easy to find someone."
Indeed, these girls appearing on the street in gorgeous cosplay-like outfits must be eye-catching enough to attract the attention of passers-by.
"That's all for the rules of the game." The croupier said, "Now let's talk about the precautions. After the game starts, we will confiscate everyone's communication equipment, and we will leave some money for you so that you can take transportation to play." a location."
"Oh, by the way, the means of transportation must be public transportation, and private cars are absolutely not allowed."
"And, once we find out that you have used off-site assistance, such as installing another GPS on Mrs. Hei, or using violent means to force Mrs. Hei, you will be immediately disqualified from the competition and punished with 100 chips."
"That's all the rules?" After listening for a long time, Liang Qingshu became a little impatient, and raised his voice, "After talking so much, we haven't mentioned what our bet is. If we give enough time, everyone here will You can find Mrs. Hei, can't you?"
"I'm going to explain the bet now." The croupier smiled wryly, "The bet is the time. Players can bet on the time they will find Mrs. Hei at will. It doesn't matter if they can find Mrs. Hei within the time specified by themselves. The person who finds it will be considered a winner, otherwise it will be considered a failure. The failed player will not only be deducted from the participation fee, but also be punished according to the rules of the game."
It is not uncommon to be punished for failure in the school battle, the key is what to punish.Hearing the dealer's words, the players in the audience were a little uneasy: "What is the penalty? Isn't it just chips?"
"We don't penalize chips, but others." The croupier showed an uncomfortable smile, "The failed players, regardless of gender, will play the role of Mrs. Black in the Black Lady game until the next person comes. until I succeed you."
The crowd was in an uproar.
The players turned their eyes to the girls who played the role of Mrs. Hei, only to find that they were hiding under the heavy makeup, a pair of lifeless and helpless eyes.
It's like being cursed by this game.
Everyone suddenly felt a chill.
"So," the croupier warned coldly, "players, please don't bet on time beyond your means, and cherish yourself more."
"In the end, we'll give 100 chips to the person who kept the time and used it the shortest time."
As soon as the croupier finished speaking, the members of the literature club came over with a thick registration book.
The registration book is a bit old, the croupier clicked it and said: "If there is no problem, everyone can start betting. Please come here to register the time you think you need, after paying the participation fee, we will drive You go to the starting point."
Immediately, many people got up and went to register.
You San went over to take a look, and found that except for some timid ones who registered for 5 to 6 hours, most of them registered for 4 hours, so he was a little surprised.
Curiosity made him a little timid, and he even wanted to ask Liang Qingshu how long he planned to gamble, but when he turned around, he saw that Liang Qingshu was no longer in his original position.
Yu Shen walked over from the back row at some point and was talking to him.
Yu Shen gave Liang Qingshu the clue card he had just obtained: "This is for you."
The clue card was very beautifully made. Liang Qingshu turned it over and saw that it was a short poem from "Sonnets", numbered 133 in the collection of poems.
[Cursed is that heart—it made my heart groan|groan,
It was it that brought me and my friend a deep sense of hurt;
Isn't it enough to torture me alone?
Also want to degrade my friend into a slave and let you drive him away?
Your cruel eyes split me in two—
Take half abducted, and occupy the other half ruthlessly.
It was a triple tribulation that I endured—
Tossed aside by him, by me, by you.
Or imprison my heart in your iron heart,
Bail my friend's heart out of prison with my heart;
Whoever the guard is, my heart will keep him safe,
Forgive me for not being harsh on me in prison.
No, you will stern, for I am your prisoner,
I and everything about me must be in your hands. 】
"I know a little bit about Sonnets." Yu Shen has already read this poem, "Although the poem describes Mrs. Hei's love affair with two boats, is there any real history? It’s hard to say, and many historians say that Shakespeare himself had an unrequited love for Mrs. Black.”
"But it's different with this clue card." Liang Qingshu continued his words, "Why don't others' Mrs. Hei know that our Mrs. Hei must be a beautiful woman who is tossed between two men. Such a Come on, it's easy to deduce."
Yu Shen smiled, it seemed that Liang Qingshu had understood what he meant.
"This can be regarded as cheating." Liang Qingshu flipped the card upside down in Yu Shen's palm with his backhand, and slid it gently on the opponent's palm with its tip as if provocatively, and said with a half-smile, "You deliberately put this Is the card left for me?"
"If I don't tell you directly, won't you also come to ask for it?" Yu Shen didn't answer his words, but deliberately flicked the card and asked, "How many hours do you plan to gamble?"
"I originally planned to gamble for four hours." Liang Qingshu put the cards away and said meaningfully, "But now, two and a half hours is enough."
Not long after, most of the players had already registered, and only a few people were tangled at the table, thinking about whether to reduce or increase the time.
Liang Qingshu walked slowly in front of the croupier, tossed five chips to the croupier, and said, "Give me two and a half hours."
As soon as these words came out, those who were still near the registration office all looked at Liang Qingshu.
The croupier paused while he was busy registering, and reminded involuntarily: "President, this game does not mean that the shorter the betting time, the greater the chances of winning, but it must be within the specified time..."
Liang Qingshu didn't speak, but knocked on the table impatiently.
The croupier immediately silenced, and silently wrote "two and a half hours" next to Liang Qingshu's name.
After everyone registered, the croupier did what he said, and found a driver to drive all the players to the school gate.
After the croupier announced the start of the game, the atmosphere became tense in an instant. There was a "beep beep" sound from the watch. The players looked down and saw that the first location information of Mrs. Hei had been displayed.
"Hey, wait a minute, my first location is Cornhill, what is Cornhill?" Someone suddenly shouted, "Why don't you even show a direction, only the ancient place names of London and Red and blue dots, what can you tell from this!"
The dealer sneered and ignored the man's question.
A few people were also blinded by the situation, frantically trying to get out their mobile phones to look up the meanings of those ancient place names online, but suddenly remembered that the mobile phones had already been confiscated by the croupier.
A group of people want to cry but have no tears.
Only a few smart players prepared a map of London in the 16th century, found someone to print it out in advance, and started to explore against the map.
Only then did You San understand the foresight of Liang Qingshu and Jiang Si.
The first location information Liang Qingshu received was Clerkenwell. This place had two characteristics in the 16th century. One was that the palace banquet department was located here, and the other was that there was a famous brothel nearby.
"Since she appeared in Clerkenwell," Yu Shen analyzed calmly, "then Mrs. Hei is likely to be a prominent queen or court lady. Of course, she may also be a prostitute who runs a brothel."
You San said: "What kind is it? Didn't we take a clue card before? Take it out and have a look?"
"The clue card only mentions the love triangle of Mrs. Hei." Liang Qingshu showed the clue card for everyone to see without hesitation, "But this can only rule out the queen, and it is still possible for female officials and prostitutes."
"There are too few clues! I can't tell." Jiang Si said, "Anyway, we have a lot of people, why don't we squat around Clerkenwell, and then see where Mrs. Hei's next location is, it should be about the same Yes. What do you think?"
Jiang Si's memory is also very good, and he reported all the place names near Clerkenwell on the spot, namely St. Paul's Cathedral, Crippler's Gate and Blackfriars.
"I don't know about other places, but I know that there is a long-standing white church in the center of Qianle, which probably corresponds to St. Paul's Cathedral." Jiang Sisi thought, "If you look at it this way, Clerkenwell should be in The outskirts, as for the Cripler Gate and the Blackfriars..."
"Shakespeare lived near the Cripler Gate for a while, and there is his residence there." Yu Shen added, "Then, the Cripler Gate should be a museum or some relic."
Except for Yu Shen, everyone here has lived in Qianle for a long time. When Yu Shen said this, he immediately matched these ancient place names with the place names in Qianle in his mind.
"The three of you go to another place to guard." Liang Qingshu decisively ordered, "Yu Shen and I will go to the monk in black."
After Liang Qingshu finished making arrangements, Wang Ruolan, Jiang Si, and You San took the tram and left together.
The place where Wang Ruolan was arranged was Clerkenwell in the far north, which was the first place Liang Qingshu received.She and Jiang Si and You San did not go the same way, and got off the tram alone after two stops together.
"Why do I feel that Wang Ruolan hasn't said a word since just now?" You San asked Jiang Si belatedly, "It seems that she is not in a good mood."
"Maybe I don't really want to participate in this game." Jiang Si was focused on solving puzzles at this time, and didn't take these words to heart at all. "I'm going to St. Paul's Cathedral here, and you are Kripler's Gate. We can still get off together."
You San didn't know what to say, so he had an awkward chat, and after getting no response from Jiang Si, he couldn't help but sighed.
Jiang Si: "Why are you sighing?"
You San was worried, and finally told the truth: "Tell me, why did the president only gamble for two and a half hours? Is the time really enough? If you lose, you will have to pay back chips, although I also know that the student union has a lot of chips... ..."
"Two and a half hours is not enough, I think it's too long to gamble!" Jiang Si hated You San for being weak, "Now the game situation is overwhelming for us, what are you afraid of?"
You San was confused: "Overwhelming, overwhelming advantage?"
"Do you still remember what the croupier said?" Jiang Si turned his face, pointed his fingers and said, "The black ladies will move according to a specific trajectory, and the total number of times they have to move is 16 times, and the places that can move are 11 times. There are [-], so think about it, how do they go to get out of a regular route?"
You San shook his head to express that he did not know.
"Oh, why are you so stupid." Jiang Si felt inconceivable, "The most convenient way, of course, is to only go to 8 locations, and then return along the original road. In this way, you will move exactly 16 times."
You San still didn't understand: "One back and one back? Will the black ladies be so obedient?"
"Most of these black ladies were captured by the literature club as coolies, right?" Jiang Si was full of confidence, "then they are likely to do so in order to cope with errands. Of course, there are smarter black ladies who may come out A route similar to a 'V' shape, but it's not difficult to deduce. Anyway, as long as you know how the black ladies moved in the first 8 times, you can also know how they will move in the next 8 times."
You San suddenly realized.
No wonder most of the players gambled for 4 hours just now. Now that I think about it, isn't 4 hours exactly 8 moves?
You San was overjoyed, but quickly fell into uneasiness: "But the president only gambled for two and a half hours..."
"Two and a half hours of gambling is already a long time." Jiang Si said disdainfully, "After all, what I said just now is the most stupid way to play, that is, to completely abandon the historical background of this game. But think about it, that chicken thief The croupier cares so much about this historical background, so he will definitely arrange a lot of clues to get closer to this historical background. But if you know a little bit, it will definitely not take 4 hours."
You San: "It would be great if it went so smoothly..."
"I believe in the president." Jiang Si showed an excited expression on his face, "Life is to gamble under this kind of uncertainty, and the money earned in this way is the most delicious!"
You San curled his lips, and silently moved a little away from Jiang Si.
At the same time, Liang Qingshu and Yu Shen took a taxi to the "Black Friars" - a high-end concert hall called "Ranunculus" in Qianle City.
There are many places called "Blackfriars" in England today, but in London in the 16th century, there was only one well-known opera house dedicated to the entertainment of the aristocrats that could be called this name.
Although Qian Yue is not British, but because it was colonized by foreigners for a long time, the style of the whole city is actually infinitely closer to the British style, including this high-end concert hall in the city center.
After getting out of the taxi, Yu Shen joked, "I clearly said that I can only use public transportation."
"Isn't a taxi considered a means of public transportation?" Liang Qingshu stretched out, still a little disgusted with the taxi, "The seat is so hard, I don't know how these people can sit for a day."
Hearing Liang Qingshu's complaint, the taxi driver gave him a resentful look when he collected the money, and then walked away.
Yu Shen couldn't help chuckling.
This time it was Liang Qingshu's turn to frown dissatisfiedly. He turned around and led Yu Shen all the way to the entrance of this concert hall.
There was a performance in the concert hall today, and outsiders were not allowed to enter. I don't know what Liang Qingshu said to the guards. The guards hesitated for a while, and then let them in.
"Don't make up any lies about terrorists who are going to bomb this place in a while." Yu Shen followed behind Liang Qingshu and said, "It's not worth entering such a place."
"When did you become so glib?" Liang Qingshu pressed the elevator and said, "If I say that this concert hall was built with money from my family, would you believe me?"
"..." Yu Shen shook his head lightly, "What did you bring me here for?"
Liang Qingshu didn't answer, but just led Yu Shen inside.
The passage outside the concert hall where the performance was held was completely dark, Yu Shen and Liang Qingshu both handed over their mobile phones to the English Literature Society, and could not use their mobile phones to illuminate, so they could only move forward bit by bit at an extremely slow speed.
Liang Qingshu seemed to be even more unable to adapt to the darkness, and walked much slower than Yu Shen, until Yu Shen almost bumped into him, and then he heard him say softly: "Here we are."
Yu Shen slightly lowered his head, seemed to vaguely see the other party's soft hair whirling, and then heard the sound of the door opening.
The moment the door was opened, the sound of music in the concert hall rushed towards the two of them like a wave, and both sadness and strength swarmed in, as if they had suddenly entered a whole new world.
Seeing Liang Qingshu walk into this concert hall with ease, Yu Shen asked, "Do you come here often?"
"I used to come here when I was young." Liang Qingshu was still leading the way, Yu Shen couldn't see his expression, only heard his soft voice, "You don't remember this place?"
Yu Shen looked around suspiciously, and searched the corners of his memory, but there was no existence of this concert hall.
However, he did live with his adoptive father in Qianle for a short period of time when he was a child. At that time, his adoptive father basically went out because of work, and he liked to walk around with his violin on his back. It is unknown when he saw this concert hall running in.
But he was even more puzzled, even if he had been here, how did Liang Qingshu know?
An opera called "Madame Butterfly" was being performed on the stage. Yu Shen had a little impression of this opera, and vaguely remembered that it was a story about a heroine who committed suicide because she was abandoned by her husband.
"I used to never like listening to opera and classical music. Even if my parents forced me to study it or bring it to the concert hall, I would find it troublesome." Liang Qingshu looked at the stage, but his eyes didn't seem to be the same. The actors and actresses who stayed on the stage, and
Liang Qingshu didn't explain any more, and took them to the activity room of the English Literature Club, but was blocked by members of the Literature Club at the door.
This club member knew Liang Qingshu, and treated him respectfully: "President, we can only sign up for this game by one person, and you, a large group of people..."
"It's okay." Yu Shen stepped forward and smiled at the members, "The rest of us don't sign up, we just follow along and listen to the rules."
The members were stunned by his smile, and it took a while to recover, and whispered: "...If it doesn't violate the rules, it's not impossible."
After speaking, the members moved away slightly, and several people entered the activity room smoothly.
When entering the door, Liang Qingshu said to Yu Shen, "Your words really work", in a tone that couldn't tell whether it was ridicule or fun.
"If you need help, you can ask it." Yu Shen said.
Liang Qingshu snorted noncommittally, and took the lead in taking the seat in the front row.
Yu Shen shook his head. Together with Wang Ruolan, he was arranged in the back row by the members and could only be temporarily separated from the others.
Taking advantage of no one else, Wang Ruolan approached Yu Shen and said, "Yu Shen, since it's a single-player game, I think we should leave it alone? Why don't we go to other clubs?"
Yu Shen replied coldly: "Signing up in the name of an individual does not mean that only individuals are allowed to participate."
"What do you mean?" Wang Ruolan was stunned, "You mean you want us to assist the president? Isn't this a violation?"
Her voice was a little loud, and Yu Shen made a movement to silence her.
Wang Ruolan frowned slightly: "This is the president's own debt of favor, for you it should be..."
"It's related." Yu Shen interrupted her mercilessly, "I have to pay back this favor."
Wang Ruolan couldn't say any more words to refute, and bit her lips in annoyance.
She originally thought that according to Yu Shen's indifferent personality, she would leave directly when she saw that the game had nothing to do with her, but she didn't know that Yu Shen was unexpectedly obsessed with this team.
why?
Is it because he used 1 chip to "pick up the leak" to Liang Qingshu after Jiang Si?
Wang Ruolan looked at Liang Qingshu and Jiang Si who were sitting in the front row with displeasure, her expression became more and more ugly.
The registered players waited for a long time in the activity room of the English Literature Club, before the dealer who organized the game arrived.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm late. It took me a while to set up the scene and organize the actors." The croupier was a sweaty fat man who kept bowing as soon as he came, "Now I will explain to you rule."
There was a moment of silence in the activity room.
"Since everyone has come here, you should know that our game this time has something to do with Shakespeare's "Sonnets", right?" "?"
"I know, I still know, but I can't talk about knowing more..."
"Those who have learned a few Chinese poems before don't know the English ones."
"Sonnets? Learned them in elementary school."
People in the seats below replied one after another, "I have learned it", and the croupier happily asked them to stand up and talk about what the "Sonnet" is mainly about.
Those people hesitated for a long time, but none of them could answer.
He didn't hear the answer he wanted, and the croupier showed a regretful expression on his face, and said disappointedly: "Forget it, it doesn't matter if I don't know... Let me explain in detail for everyone."
"Shakespeare's "Sonnets" was written between 1590 and 1598. There are 154 poems in the book, which are divided into two parts. The first part is the first 126 poems, which describe a young and handsome nobleman; the second part From the 127th to the last one, it describes a beautiful woman who overwhelms the country."
"And our game this time is related to this beautiful woman. According to Shakespeare's description in the poem, this beautiful woman is young, good at music, has beautiful black hair, black eyes, and a rather weird Because of her dark skin, the world also calls this beauty 'Mrs. Black'."
"Although Mrs. Hei is not the aesthetic appearance advocated by the mainstream, Shakespeare believes that only such pure black beauty is the real beauty without embellishment. He praised Mrs. Hei in his poems, almost All the compliments in the world are dedicated to her."
"However, it is such a seemingly perfect and peerless beauty who is not faithful enough in love and is frivolous. According to Shakespeare's description in the poem, Mrs. Hei was ambiguous with the poet at first, but then abandoned him. , defected to a young and handsome aristocrat—that is, the young aristocrat described in the first 126 "Sonnets."
Hearing this, someone in the audience laughed ambiguously: "It turns out that this is still a love triangle."
"Yeah, a love triangle." The croupier heard this and gave him a blank stare.
The croupier cleared his throat and continued to narrate the background emotionally: "Our game today is called 'Looking for the Black Lady'. Why is it called that? It is because no one has found out the true identity of the Black Lady. Historians have spent more than four centuries with only plausible answers."
The story doesn't sound bad, and the dealer is telling it here, and people are already searching on their phones and tablets.
The person who found it also happily echoed the croupier and said: "I found it! Historians have put forward four possibilities for the identity of Mrs. Black, namely, Queen Elizabeth I, the mother of the famous poet Daphnant, and the Lucy, a black prostitute in London, and Shakespeare's own wife, Anna Hathaway."
"Someone has indeed proposed these four possibilities, and each guess is based on history." The croupier agreed, "But..."
"Twelve kinds." Before the croupier finished speaking, Yu Shen, who had not said a word, suddenly spoke out calmly.
The croupier was slightly taken aback.
"Historians have made twelve guesses about the identity of Mrs. Hei." Yu Shen looked at the croupier and said, "And I counted just now, and there are exactly 12 players participating in this game. Probably intending to make a kind of black lady correspond to a player?"
The croupier smiled with satisfaction.
"That's what it means." Excitement oozes from the croupier's voice, "Although this game itself can be played without the historical background, since it is an activity of our English literature club, we must have our own characteristics. No, we paid 100 chips for this game, but in your eyes it's just a vulgar money game."
After Jiang Si heard what the croupier said, he said to You San with disapproval: "What's the matter with this croupier? If you say the rules, you say the rules, why are you still shooting? Is there anything wrong with loving money? As long as you can win the game Enough?"
"In order to reward the player who answered correctly just now," the croupier said with a raised voice, "we will give him an item card, which can be used in the official game."
Jiang Si: "..."
"Sorry," Yu Shen said out loud, "but I'm not a player. Can I transfer the item card to someone else?"
"Sorry, item cards cannot be transferred." The croupier scratched his head and said, "In this case, let's replace it with a clue card. Clue cards can be transferred."
Yu Shen: "Clue card?"
"Yes, clue cards are obtained by every player during the game, but a large number will also be beneficial to victory." The croupier explained briefly, coughing heavily on purpose, "Now it's up to the Let me tell you how to play this game."
Finally, it was time to talk about the rules, and the students who were arguing because Yu Shen took the prop card became quieter.
"Please wait a moment, everyone. Now we need to invite our actors to appear." After the dealer finished speaking, he picked up his mobile phone and made a call.
It sounds like someone on the other end of the phone is being invited to come over, and I can hear the other party keep saying "I'll be there soon, I'll be there soon".
After a while, a group of well-dressed female voices came in from outside.
The number of girls was exactly twelve, each of them wore heavy makeup and hair, and dressed up like English women in the [-]th and [-]th centuries. There are also upper-class nobles.
The players in the audience realized that they were wearing the twelve "black ladies" that the croupier just mentioned. "In order to let everyone have a deeper substituting experience, we specially recruited twelve girls to play the role of Mrs. Hei, and set up a real event scene outdoors." Please move to the school gate to gather."
"After the game starts, the black lady played by these twelve girls will be hidden in a corner of Qianle City. After that, every half an hour, they will change their hiding positions, and they will move 16 times in total. The goal is to chase after Mrs. Hei, guess where they will go next, until they find out Mrs. Hei."
As soon as these words came out, many people below understood that this was a hunting game, Mrs. Hei was the prey, and the players were the hunters.
But there were also quick-witted protests: "Wait a minute, you said Mrs. Hei would be hiding somewhere in Qianle City? How do we find it? Do you know how many potholes there are in Qianle City?"
"That's right, if Mrs. Hei hides in any apartment casually, she won't be able to find her if she thinks hard!"
"It seems to rely on luck to guess."
The croupier increased the volume of the microphone and suppressed the voice of dissent.
"Of course we know what you said! So for the sake of fairness, we stipulate that Madam Hei will not just hide in some unknown corner."
"We have specially delineated 11 locations, which are named after places in Shakespeare's time, namely the Extrajudicial Dungeon, Falcon Stairs, Cornhill, East Creek, Clerkenwell, Crippler's Gate, St Paul's Cathedral, Blackfriars, Bishopsgate, Southwark, London Bridge."
"—Everyone, please look at the big screen."
The people from the English Literature Club turned on the teaching electronic screen behind the croupier at some point. Everyone looked at it and found that a map of London in Shakespeare's era was reflected on it.
The place names marked on the map are exactly the 11 place names that the croupier just read.
"What, what is this?" You San was almost blind, and murmured in surprise, "To the east of Clerkenwell is Crippler's Gate, and to the southwest of St. Paul's Cathedral is the Black Friars... I can't remember at all."
"Shut up." Liang Qingshu was annoyed by his quarrel, "These locations correspond to Qian Le's locations, and there is no need to memorize them."
You San really wanted to ask how to deal with it, but looking at the impatient Liang Qingshu, he dared not ask.
"It's very simple." Jiang Si took the initiative to explain to You San, "As you said just now, Clerkenwell's east side is next to the Kripler Gate, so if Clerkenwell is our Where is the school's club building, the Cripler Gate supposed to be?"
You San recalled the map of the new campus in his mind, and said, "That should be a certain teaching building in the East District."
"Bingo." Jiang Si said, "Just by reasoning like this, isn't it obvious which location the whole map corresponds to?"
"But the premise of what you said is that Clerkenwell is indeed the club building." You San| retorted, "If it's not the club building, but somewhere else, then it's not a wrong deduction from the beginning."
"If the derivation is wrong, push it again. Haven't you played Sudoku? Sudoku is the same as this map." Jiang Si patted You San on the shoulder, "Besides, if you can't push it out, can't the president also push it out? ?”
You San looked towards Liang Qingshu.
To be honest, Liang Qingshu's tutor is really good. Even in this situation, he sat upright with grace, and the elbow that propped his chin out of impatience also showed an elegant arc, which matched the confidence in his eyes. Pride complements each other.
For some reason, at this moment, You San suddenly felt that Liang Qingshu and Yu Shen were alike in some respects.
He couldn't help but wonder what would happen if these two people really teamed up.
"The twelve black ladies will only go to these 11 places. Once they go to other places, it will be considered a violation. If anyone finds out, they can report to us." The croupier is still explaining to the players, "And let me remind you again, black ladies There are rules to follow, not completely random. I think in this way, no one should find it difficult to find, right?"
After saying this, the players who had opinions finally fell silent.
"If there is no more objection, I will continue to explain the rest of the rules." The croupier said, "It has been mentioned just now that there are a total of twelve players in this game, and Mrs. Hei also has twelve, so one player corresponds to the other. A black lady, everyone just needs to find their own black lady, and there is no need to interfere with each other."
"The way to find it is also very simple. We won't let you search like headless chickens. We will send everyone a watch with GPS positioning installed. The watch will update your corresponding location every half an hour. Based on the location information of the Black Lady, players can calculate the next location of the Black Lady based on this information, so as to find the Black Lady faster and easier."
After speaking these few paragraphs, the croupier asked the members waiting nearby to give a watch to all the players present.
Liang Qingshu put the watch on his wrist, and after turning it on, he found that there were a red dot and a blue dot on it, and the two dots were very close to each other.
The croupier himself had a demonstration watch in his hand. He pointed to it and said, "The red dot represents Mrs. Hei, and the blue dot represents your current position. Mrs. Hei is in this activity room now, so you You should see red and blue dots next to each other."
"How about the president?" Jiang Si winked at Liang Qing and said, "Do you think this GPS works well? If it doesn't work, I'll secretly install one on Mrs. Hei?"
Liang Qingshu glanced at him coldly: "Do you know which Mrs. Hei I correspond to?"
Jiang Si was taken aback, and looked blankly at the twelve "Black Ladies" who were standing together on the stage.
These girls seemed to all look the same after putting on makeup and dressing up. Jiang Si stared at them for a long time, until he saw several girls turned their heads and stared at him. of.
Jiang Si whispered: "Just let everyone pretend to be one..."
Other players also found the same problem, and asked the dealer: "Wait a minute, this GPS only has red dots and blue dots. I can't tell which one is my corresponding Mrs. Hei, so I still can't find it!"
The croupier smiled slightly: "This matter is easy to solve. First of all, the initial hiding places of the 12 black ladies are scattered, and not all of them will be crowded in one place, so don't worry about being confused."
"Secondly, whenever you are within 1000 meters of your corresponding black lady, our members will send you a clue card with a clue similar to 'your black lady likes to drink black tea' Or "Your Mrs. Hei has a good literary quality", and these clues are in line with historical facts. As long as you collect a certain number of clue cards, you can easily deduce the identity of your Mrs. Hei .”
While talking, the croupier motioned for the female club members to show off their outfits and outfits.
The girls came to the stage one by one according to the instructions of the dealer, so that the players could remember their outfits.
"The outfits of these black ladies are also one of the clues." The croupier said, "If you deduce the identity of your corresponding black lady, then ask passers-by on the street if they have seen a girl with a similar dress. I think it should be easy to find someone."
Indeed, these girls appearing on the street in gorgeous cosplay-like outfits must be eye-catching enough to attract the attention of passers-by.
"That's all for the rules of the game." The croupier said, "Now let's talk about the precautions. After the game starts, we will confiscate everyone's communication equipment, and we will leave some money for you so that you can take transportation to play." a location."
"Oh, by the way, the means of transportation must be public transportation, and private cars are absolutely not allowed."
"And, once we find out that you have used off-site assistance, such as installing another GPS on Mrs. Hei, or using violent means to force Mrs. Hei, you will be immediately disqualified from the competition and punished with 100 chips."
"That's all the rules?" After listening for a long time, Liang Qingshu became a little impatient, and raised his voice, "After talking so much, we haven't mentioned what our bet is. If we give enough time, everyone here will You can find Mrs. Hei, can't you?"
"I'm going to explain the bet now." The croupier smiled wryly, "The bet is the time. Players can bet on the time they will find Mrs. Hei at will. It doesn't matter if they can find Mrs. Hei within the time specified by themselves. The person who finds it will be considered a winner, otherwise it will be considered a failure. The failed player will not only be deducted from the participation fee, but also be punished according to the rules of the game."
It is not uncommon to be punished for failure in the school battle, the key is what to punish.Hearing the dealer's words, the players in the audience were a little uneasy: "What is the penalty? Isn't it just chips?"
"We don't penalize chips, but others." The croupier showed an uncomfortable smile, "The failed players, regardless of gender, will play the role of Mrs. Black in the Black Lady game until the next person comes. until I succeed you."
The crowd was in an uproar.
The players turned their eyes to the girls who played the role of Mrs. Hei, only to find that they were hiding under the heavy makeup, a pair of lifeless and helpless eyes.
It's like being cursed by this game.
Everyone suddenly felt a chill.
"So," the croupier warned coldly, "players, please don't bet on time beyond your means, and cherish yourself more."
"In the end, we'll give 100 chips to the person who kept the time and used it the shortest time."
As soon as the croupier finished speaking, the members of the literature club came over with a thick registration book.
The registration book is a bit old, the croupier clicked it and said: "If there is no problem, everyone can start betting. Please come here to register the time you think you need, after paying the participation fee, we will drive You go to the starting point."
Immediately, many people got up and went to register.
You San went over to take a look, and found that except for some timid ones who registered for 5 to 6 hours, most of them registered for 4 hours, so he was a little surprised.
Curiosity made him a little timid, and he even wanted to ask Liang Qingshu how long he planned to gamble, but when he turned around, he saw that Liang Qingshu was no longer in his original position.
Yu Shen walked over from the back row at some point and was talking to him.
Yu Shen gave Liang Qingshu the clue card he had just obtained: "This is for you."
The clue card was very beautifully made. Liang Qingshu turned it over and saw that it was a short poem from "Sonnets", numbered 133 in the collection of poems.
[Cursed is that heart—it made my heart groan|groan,
It was it that brought me and my friend a deep sense of hurt;
Isn't it enough to torture me alone?
Also want to degrade my friend into a slave and let you drive him away?
Your cruel eyes split me in two—
Take half abducted, and occupy the other half ruthlessly.
It was a triple tribulation that I endured—
Tossed aside by him, by me, by you.
Or imprison my heart in your iron heart,
Bail my friend's heart out of prison with my heart;
Whoever the guard is, my heart will keep him safe,
Forgive me for not being harsh on me in prison.
No, you will stern, for I am your prisoner,
I and everything about me must be in your hands. 】
"I know a little bit about Sonnets." Yu Shen has already read this poem, "Although the poem describes Mrs. Hei's love affair with two boats, is there any real history? It’s hard to say, and many historians say that Shakespeare himself had an unrequited love for Mrs. Black.”
"But it's different with this clue card." Liang Qingshu continued his words, "Why don't others' Mrs. Hei know that our Mrs. Hei must be a beautiful woman who is tossed between two men. Such a Come on, it's easy to deduce."
Yu Shen smiled, it seemed that Liang Qingshu had understood what he meant.
"This can be regarded as cheating." Liang Qingshu flipped the card upside down in Yu Shen's palm with his backhand, and slid it gently on the opponent's palm with its tip as if provocatively, and said with a half-smile, "You deliberately put this Is the card left for me?"
"If I don't tell you directly, won't you also come to ask for it?" Yu Shen didn't answer his words, but deliberately flicked the card and asked, "How many hours do you plan to gamble?"
"I originally planned to gamble for four hours." Liang Qingshu put the cards away and said meaningfully, "But now, two and a half hours is enough."
Not long after, most of the players had already registered, and only a few people were tangled at the table, thinking about whether to reduce or increase the time.
Liang Qingshu walked slowly in front of the croupier, tossed five chips to the croupier, and said, "Give me two and a half hours."
As soon as these words came out, those who were still near the registration office all looked at Liang Qingshu.
The croupier paused while he was busy registering, and reminded involuntarily: "President, this game does not mean that the shorter the betting time, the greater the chances of winning, but it must be within the specified time..."
Liang Qingshu didn't speak, but knocked on the table impatiently.
The croupier immediately silenced, and silently wrote "two and a half hours" next to Liang Qingshu's name.
After everyone registered, the croupier did what he said, and found a driver to drive all the players to the school gate.
After the croupier announced the start of the game, the atmosphere became tense in an instant. There was a "beep beep" sound from the watch. The players looked down and saw that the first location information of Mrs. Hei had been displayed.
"Hey, wait a minute, my first location is Cornhill, what is Cornhill?" Someone suddenly shouted, "Why don't you even show a direction, only the ancient place names of London and Red and blue dots, what can you tell from this!"
The dealer sneered and ignored the man's question.
A few people were also blinded by the situation, frantically trying to get out their mobile phones to look up the meanings of those ancient place names online, but suddenly remembered that the mobile phones had already been confiscated by the croupier.
A group of people want to cry but have no tears.
Only a few smart players prepared a map of London in the 16th century, found someone to print it out in advance, and started to explore against the map.
Only then did You San understand the foresight of Liang Qingshu and Jiang Si.
The first location information Liang Qingshu received was Clerkenwell. This place had two characteristics in the 16th century. One was that the palace banquet department was located here, and the other was that there was a famous brothel nearby.
"Since she appeared in Clerkenwell," Yu Shen analyzed calmly, "then Mrs. Hei is likely to be a prominent queen or court lady. Of course, she may also be a prostitute who runs a brothel."
You San said: "What kind is it? Didn't we take a clue card before? Take it out and have a look?"
"The clue card only mentions the love triangle of Mrs. Hei." Liang Qingshu showed the clue card for everyone to see without hesitation, "But this can only rule out the queen, and it is still possible for female officials and prostitutes."
"There are too few clues! I can't tell." Jiang Si said, "Anyway, we have a lot of people, why don't we squat around Clerkenwell, and then see where Mrs. Hei's next location is, it should be about the same Yes. What do you think?"
Jiang Si's memory is also very good, and he reported all the place names near Clerkenwell on the spot, namely St. Paul's Cathedral, Crippler's Gate and Blackfriars.
"I don't know about other places, but I know that there is a long-standing white church in the center of Qianle, which probably corresponds to St. Paul's Cathedral." Jiang Sisi thought, "If you look at it this way, Clerkenwell should be in The outskirts, as for the Cripler Gate and the Blackfriars..."
"Shakespeare lived near the Cripler Gate for a while, and there is his residence there." Yu Shen added, "Then, the Cripler Gate should be a museum or some relic."
Except for Yu Shen, everyone here has lived in Qianle for a long time. When Yu Shen said this, he immediately matched these ancient place names with the place names in Qianle in his mind.
"The three of you go to another place to guard." Liang Qingshu decisively ordered, "Yu Shen and I will go to the monk in black."
After Liang Qingshu finished making arrangements, Wang Ruolan, Jiang Si, and You San took the tram and left together.
The place where Wang Ruolan was arranged was Clerkenwell in the far north, which was the first place Liang Qingshu received.She and Jiang Si and You San did not go the same way, and got off the tram alone after two stops together.
"Why do I feel that Wang Ruolan hasn't said a word since just now?" You San asked Jiang Si belatedly, "It seems that she is not in a good mood."
"Maybe I don't really want to participate in this game." Jiang Si was focused on solving puzzles at this time, and didn't take these words to heart at all. "I'm going to St. Paul's Cathedral here, and you are Kripler's Gate. We can still get off together."
You San didn't know what to say, so he had an awkward chat, and after getting no response from Jiang Si, he couldn't help but sighed.
Jiang Si: "Why are you sighing?"
You San was worried, and finally told the truth: "Tell me, why did the president only gamble for two and a half hours? Is the time really enough? If you lose, you will have to pay back chips, although I also know that the student union has a lot of chips... ..."
"Two and a half hours is not enough, I think it's too long to gamble!" Jiang Si hated You San for being weak, "Now the game situation is overwhelming for us, what are you afraid of?"
You San was confused: "Overwhelming, overwhelming advantage?"
"Do you still remember what the croupier said?" Jiang Si turned his face, pointed his fingers and said, "The black ladies will move according to a specific trajectory, and the total number of times they have to move is 16 times, and the places that can move are 11 times. There are [-], so think about it, how do they go to get out of a regular route?"
You San shook his head to express that he did not know.
"Oh, why are you so stupid." Jiang Si felt inconceivable, "The most convenient way, of course, is to only go to 8 locations, and then return along the original road. In this way, you will move exactly 16 times."
You San still didn't understand: "One back and one back? Will the black ladies be so obedient?"
"Most of these black ladies were captured by the literature club as coolies, right?" Jiang Si was full of confidence, "then they are likely to do so in order to cope with errands. Of course, there are smarter black ladies who may come out A route similar to a 'V' shape, but it's not difficult to deduce. Anyway, as long as you know how the black ladies moved in the first 8 times, you can also know how they will move in the next 8 times."
You San suddenly realized.
No wonder most of the players gambled for 4 hours just now. Now that I think about it, isn't 4 hours exactly 8 moves?
You San was overjoyed, but quickly fell into uneasiness: "But the president only gambled for two and a half hours..."
"Two and a half hours of gambling is already a long time." Jiang Si said disdainfully, "After all, what I said just now is the most stupid way to play, that is, to completely abandon the historical background of this game. But think about it, that chicken thief The croupier cares so much about this historical background, so he will definitely arrange a lot of clues to get closer to this historical background. But if you know a little bit, it will definitely not take 4 hours."
You San: "It would be great if it went so smoothly..."
"I believe in the president." Jiang Si showed an excited expression on his face, "Life is to gamble under this kind of uncertainty, and the money earned in this way is the most delicious!"
You San curled his lips, and silently moved a little away from Jiang Si.
At the same time, Liang Qingshu and Yu Shen took a taxi to the "Black Friars" - a high-end concert hall called "Ranunculus" in Qianle City.
There are many places called "Blackfriars" in England today, but in London in the 16th century, there was only one well-known opera house dedicated to the entertainment of the aristocrats that could be called this name.
Although Qian Yue is not British, but because it was colonized by foreigners for a long time, the style of the whole city is actually infinitely closer to the British style, including this high-end concert hall in the city center.
After getting out of the taxi, Yu Shen joked, "I clearly said that I can only use public transportation."
"Isn't a taxi considered a means of public transportation?" Liang Qingshu stretched out, still a little disgusted with the taxi, "The seat is so hard, I don't know how these people can sit for a day."
Hearing Liang Qingshu's complaint, the taxi driver gave him a resentful look when he collected the money, and then walked away.
Yu Shen couldn't help chuckling.
This time it was Liang Qingshu's turn to frown dissatisfiedly. He turned around and led Yu Shen all the way to the entrance of this concert hall.
There was a performance in the concert hall today, and outsiders were not allowed to enter. I don't know what Liang Qingshu said to the guards. The guards hesitated for a while, and then let them in.
"Don't make up any lies about terrorists who are going to bomb this place in a while." Yu Shen followed behind Liang Qingshu and said, "It's not worth entering such a place."
"When did you become so glib?" Liang Qingshu pressed the elevator and said, "If I say that this concert hall was built with money from my family, would you believe me?"
"..." Yu Shen shook his head lightly, "What did you bring me here for?"
Liang Qingshu didn't answer, but just led Yu Shen inside.
The passage outside the concert hall where the performance was held was completely dark, Yu Shen and Liang Qingshu both handed over their mobile phones to the English Literature Society, and could not use their mobile phones to illuminate, so they could only move forward bit by bit at an extremely slow speed.
Liang Qingshu seemed to be even more unable to adapt to the darkness, and walked much slower than Yu Shen, until Yu Shen almost bumped into him, and then he heard him say softly: "Here we are."
Yu Shen slightly lowered his head, seemed to vaguely see the other party's soft hair whirling, and then heard the sound of the door opening.
The moment the door was opened, the sound of music in the concert hall rushed towards the two of them like a wave, and both sadness and strength swarmed in, as if they had suddenly entered a whole new world.
Seeing Liang Qingshu walk into this concert hall with ease, Yu Shen asked, "Do you come here often?"
"I used to come here when I was young." Liang Qingshu was still leading the way, Yu Shen couldn't see his expression, only heard his soft voice, "You don't remember this place?"
Yu Shen looked around suspiciously, and searched the corners of his memory, but there was no existence of this concert hall.
However, he did live with his adoptive father in Qianle for a short period of time when he was a child. At that time, his adoptive father basically went out because of work, and he liked to walk around with his violin on his back. It is unknown when he saw this concert hall running in.
But he was even more puzzled, even if he had been here, how did Liang Qingshu know?
An opera called "Madame Butterfly" was being performed on the stage. Yu Shen had a little impression of this opera, and vaguely remembered that it was a story about a heroine who committed suicide because she was abandoned by her husband.
