"What password, what password? Morse code?" Su Mingbo said.

Crowd: ...

Feng Yao: "I've never seen someone who studies art as thoroughly as you do!"

Su Mingbo: "What do you mean?"

Jiang Xu rewrote the digital password with a quill pen, and said, "He said that you are truly unprecedented, and we were all so shocked by you that we burst into tears."

Su Mingbo: ...he had an intuition that this was not a good word.

"Numbers, what are the rules?" Numbers are always the most mysterious existence in the universe. Feng Yao rubbed his chin and used the method of elimination, "109 is a prime number, but the other four are not."

"Could it be related to Sudoku?" Zhang Xiaoxiao guessed.

"What about the date?" Chu Nanfeng gave a suggestion.

“啊,也有可能是三个数字之和对应某个字母呢?”苏明博终于开窍了一次。“‘109’、‘115’、‘530’、‘795’、‘850’就变成了,10、7、8、21、13,可以分别对应字母J、G、H、U、M。”

"J, G, H, U, M? Is there such an English word?" Feng Yao raised an eyebrow.

"Uh... isn't it right? I thought I was finally smart for a while."

"No, you reminded me," Jiang Xu said, "There is a password, any number in this world can be converted into one of the 26 letters."

"It's called the Hill cipher."

"Look, let me just say, it's Moss... what are you talking about? Hey, Hill Code? What's that?" Su Mingbo looked confused.

"Of course, the Hill cipher is not used here, but it is similar to the principle of the Hill cipher. The design of the Hill cipher is to use multiple groups of numbers in a linear matrix, and finally a string of password characters can be obtained. And we are not a matrix here, so we can directly use It can be converted into letters by numbers at the end, a group of numbers corresponds to a letter." Jiang Xu recoded the five sets of password cards.

"How to switch?" Feng Yao asked.

"Mould all numbers by 26 at the same time." Chu Nanfeng said lightly.

"Yo, Uncle Policeman is amazing, I didn't expect you to know this?" Jiang Xu curled his lips.

Chu Nanfeng paused as he twirled the card with his fingertips, and from the corner of his eye he looked at the person beside him.It's just that Jiang Xu didn't notice.

"Then '109' is the number 5 for the letter E, and '115' is the number 11 for the letter K."

“‘530’是10对应J,‘795’是15对应O,‘850’是18对应R。”

"EKJOR"

"It's JOKER!" Su Mingbo exclaimed.

"That's right, it's JOKER. The joker card in poker can also be called CLOWN, or the Fool in Tarot cards." Jiang Xu smiled grimly, "It seems that we have been mercilessly laughed at here."

Su Mingbo didn't care who laughed or not, he quickly ran to the treasure box, picked up the letter building blocks and threw them into the groove.

The building block "Bada" with the letter "J" on it slipped to the ground, and Su Mingbo was dumbfounded, "No, isn't it right?"

"Of course not one, otherwise, if you try to put each one in at the very beginning, wouldn't it come out soon?" Jiang Xu tilted his head and raised his chin slightly to signal to everyone, "Excuse me, help me."

Jiang Xu, Chu Nanfeng, Feng Yao, Zhang Xiaoxiao, and Su Mingbo each held a building block and put it into the groove at the same time.

"Gada"

There was the sound of the lock being released inside the treasure chest.

Drip, drip, sip...

[Mission stage 2/3, current: (Intermediate) Get a ticket.Mission Progress 1/2]

[The task of opening the treasure chest is completed, and the rewards are as follows:]

[Jiang Xu+2 points]

[Feng Yao + 2 points]

[Zhang Xiaoxiao+2 points]

[Su Mingbo +2 points]

[Chu Nanfeng +2 points]

Jiang Xu: ...

Crowd:......

——It’s hard to say.

"Actually, I could use both hands and feet just now, and at worst, I can hold one on my head." Jiang Xu tried to restore the fact that he was a good character.

Feng Yao, Zhang Xiaoxiao, and Su Mingbo could not bear to smile until their faces were distorted. Their expressions were very wonderful, and they hurriedly pretended to open the treasure chest to divert their attention.

"Yes," Chu Nanfeng stood behind Jiang Xu, with a low voice that only two people could hear, "I will definitely pay attention next time, twice, it was really not intentional."

Jiang Xu clearly heard the smile in the end of his voice: "..."

"Come on, come on," Su Mingbo opened the first treasure chest and took out the contents, "It's three playing cards. One is Joker, and the other two only have different suits, but you can't see the points. "

Zhang Xiaoxiao opened the second treasure chest, took out a note, and read: "Question: How many Joker points?"

Immediately afterwards, she murmured to herself in bewilderment: "Does the Joker card in the playing cards have a value setting? Why can't I remember? I only know that it is the highest card."

"The current Joker joker cards are called big and small trump cards, which are defined as being greater than all the points on the cards. But the purpose of the Joker joker cards in the first invention is quite different from what it is now." Jiang Xu held the joker joker card and explained lightly, " The four suits in the poker represent the four seasons, and 13 cards of each suit represent 13 weeks, which is 364. Later, there was the Joker card, which was counted as 1, and it was 365 days when added together, but sometimes it was It's a leap year, so there's a second big joker card."

"There is also a saying that Joker has another name——ExtraJoker, which means extra cards. When a deck of poker loses a card, it will use Joker cards to replace its points, which can make the game go on. Not to waste a whole deck of cards."

Jiang Xushi held the Joker card between two fingers, and the face of the card was facing other people, "So I think this is what the Joker card used here should be. It is an ExtraJoker."

Feng Yao opened the third treasure chest, which was also a note: "The product of the points of the three cards is twice the number represented by the last treasure chest."

Chu Nanfeng: "The last treasure chest is the letter 'R', representing the number '18', so the product of the points of the three cards is 36."

Su Mingbo opened the fourth treasure chest, and it was still a note: "You know the sum of the points of the three cards, but you don't know the points of Joker."

Su Mingbo directly exploded: "I know what? I don't know at all, don't frame me!"

Su Mingbo seemed to have encountered the God of Plague, threw the note in his hand, and ran to the side to shut himself up.

Jiang Xu picked up the note and looked at the content on it, "This is just a metaphor for hiding known conditions in the title."

"Eh? What is this? A postcard?" Zhang Xiaoxiao opened the last treasure chest. This time, it contained a card. The material was similar to photo paper. The front was a landscape photo, and the back was blank.

"This looks like a pillar-shaped building in ancient Rome and ancient Greece," Feng Yao said.

"Where is this photo taken? Doesn't it seem like the old castle we are in?" Zhang Xiaoxiao handed the photo to Chu Nanfeng.

Chu Nanfeng didn't seem to have much research on these, so he shook his head and handed it to Jiang Xu.

The landscape picture is very distinctive, it should be a famous building somewhere.You can't see the whole picture of the whole building, like an ancient castle or a corner of a garden.

The scenery in the photo can confirm that this is a small garden.The middle path is paved with European-style embossed floor tiles, a Balotte-style fountain, and a Mediterranean arched door wrapped in green plants. The exterior of the building is wrapped by the circular stone pillar wall that Feng Yao said. The small garden is full of lush flower beds and The miniature decorative waterfall looks like a fairyland on earth.

It has the meaning of "you can only watch from a distance but not play with it" in the mouth of sour writers.

Jiang Xu looked at it upside down, and couldn't give any meaningful evaluation except for the beauty, let alone know the source of the scenery, so he could only turn to the experts in their group for help.

"Su Mingbo, art student, come and have a look. What is this?"

The big guy called him, but he didn't dare to pretend he didn't hear, Qiqi Ai approached with small steps, with a bit of hesitation on his face: "I really don't know what the sum of the points is, don't believe it!" The note said nonsense, "A ghost happened to them once, and he didn't want to be the second." That note was sowing discord."

The kid was serious, Jiang Xu said with a smile: "Okay, that's a hint, you'll know what it means after a while, don't worry about other things, let's take a look at this, what is it?"

"Well, this is not a picture of the real thing, it seems to be a restored picture of later generations." Su Mingbo looked at it for about 5 minutes before hesitantly opened his mouth.

"Do you know where this is? Or what does it mean?" Jiang Xu asked.

"Judging from the overall artistic style and several obvious architectural features, it should be the hanging garden of ancient Babylon." Su Mingbo said.

"The Hanging Gardens of Ancient Babylon?" Feng Yao said, "Does this have any special meaning? What does it have to do with playing cards?"

"Hey, wait, there seems to be something in this place, look," Su Mingbo pointed to a wall in the photo and said, "It seems to be a clown?"

The flowers and trees in the photo are too complicated and the colors are too magnificent. The clown with the same bright colors seems to be integrated with the scenery, making it hard to distinguish. If it weren't for Su Mingbo's unique artistic perspective, they probably would have found it hard mysterious.

"The clown? Isn't the clown the joker?"

"What do you mean? The clown in the hanging garden?"

Jiang Xu felt as if he had grasped something, "Where is the sky garden?"

"Huh? What?" Su Mingbo said, "In ancient Babylon, western Asia."

"No, I'm not asking about the geographical location, I'm talking about the location."

"It is said that because of the architectural style, the sky garden looks like it was built in the sky from a distance, like a city in the sky."

"That's right," Jiang Xu concluded, "This card means that the clown is at the height. The largest of the three cards that shows the points of the joker card."

Jiang Xu put together what he got in the box, and said, "So the question of the second stage is:"

"1. The product of the points of the three cards is 36."

"2. We know the sum of the points of the three cards, but we still don't know the points of the Joker."

"3. The joker has the highest points among the three cards."

"Question: How much are the joker points?"

After the five treasure chests were opened on the holographic virtual screen on the round table, new information appeared:

[Mission stage 2/3, current: (Intermediate) Get a ticket.Mission Progress 1/2]

[Please enter your answer: __]

There are more laser keyboards and laser pointers below the text information.

"Oh, I see. This question is relatively simple." Jiang Xu said casually, and was about to pick up the laser pointer to write the answer.

Su Mingbo hurriedly said: "Brother Jiang, do you know the answer? No, don't write indiscriminately. Although I didn't say that there will be punishment for wrong writing, but..."

However, it is better to be cautious if the man pretending to be a dead man becomes a puppet first.

"Oh, you said that, I suddenly remembered one more thing, I really don't rush to write the answer first." The answer is given, and it will definitely enter the third stage-the stage play.He has one more thing to settle before the stage play.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Jiang Xu didn't know the exact answer, but just wanted to try it out, who knew——

Jiang Xu looked at the clock, and the only pointer had already pointed to "11". The witch came to the stage without anyone noticing.

It had a weird smile on its face, and its eyes were shining, staring at everyone in the castle, as if looking at some delicious food.Seeing Jiang Xu's eyes turn to it, he froze suddenly, and it had a bad feeling.

Following Jiang Xu's gaze, everyone saw the witch on the stage. "My god, when did it come, why didn't it make a sound, is it a cat?" Su Mingbo stroked his chest.

Isn't it a cat?Jiang Xu thought to himself.

When Jiang Xu came to the witch, the witch immediately looked at him warily.

Jiang Xu bowed his body and put his head in front of the witch—even though the witch was standing on the half-height stage, she was still a lot shorter than Jiang Xu, "I've always had a question."

As he spoke, Jiang Xu stretched out his hand, grabbed the witch by the back of her neck, and lifted her up from the stage.

The witch's limbs, which were hidden under the wide magic robe, flopped like a dog, twisting her neck and struggling to bite the hand that was holding it.

Everyone was frightened by his sudden action, Su Mingbo quickly hugged Jiang Xu's other hand in his trouser pocket, "Brother, brother, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, that's an official!"

"Oh, so what?" Jiang Xu asked with her head half tilted.

Su Mingbo didn't know what would happen, but he always felt that the boss was going to make a big deal, and maybe what would happen then.

"In case it punishes you or something, it's not worth it. Or let's continue quickly, the mission ends early, maybe we can leave early." Su Mingbo advised.

"No hurry, I'll take care of it first." Jiang Xu pointed at the holographic screen behind him, "Look, isn't it unresponsive? If you talk about official people, it is orthodox, and this," Jiang Xu Bumping the witch in her hand, "It can only be regarded as a talker."

Jiang Xu carried the witch and took a few steps towards the corner of the stage, "You are too exposed, if I don't do something, I'm obviously sorry for your blatant reminder."

"Brother Jiang, what are you doing with it?" Su Mingbo became more and more unable to understand the boss's coquettish operations. He took a sneak peek in Chu Nanfeng's direction, and his eyes widened immediately in the next second. .what did he see

——Chu Nanfeng crossed his arms and leaned to the side, his movements were indescribably leisurely, and the smile on the corner of his mouth, if he understood correctly, seemed a little pampered? !

What's all this about?

"From dusk to midnight, witch, don't you notice anything wrong with putting these things together?" Jiang Xu said lazily.

"... Cinderella?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked uncertainly.

"Ah, unfortunately, it's not Cinderella." Jiang Xu slowly stretched out her hand, and the witch looked at the cauldron less than half a meter below her in horror.From somewhere, Jiang Xu took out the glass that was hidden by him before, which caused the doll maid to shut down.

"Tsk, have you ever drank this stuff yourself?" As he spoke, he poured the dark purple liquid into the witch's mouth, and the witch struggled even harder.

"The clock that runs backwards can only appear from dusk to midnight, why? Afraid that the magic will be dispelled? The witch, the magic pot, the broom, and the potion are all complete, but two things are missing. If I guessed correctly... ..”

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Xu let go of his hand suddenly, and the witch fell into the bubbling cauldron of "Gudu", but let out a heart-piercing "meow"!Immediately afterwards, a mushroom cloud exploded on the magic pot, and the sound of "croaking" gradually sounded, as if falling into a frog pond, including the glass that Jiang Xu just took out, all the purple liquid disappeared, turning into a group of green oil leprosy.

Crowd:......

It was a slightly nauseating surprise.After all, the cup of purple liquid had been so close to them.

"Hehe, it's really Teacher Cat!" Jiang Xu and the witch who fell into the pot, no, the lucky cat stared wide-eyed.

Lucky Cat looked at Jiang Xu angrily, "How do you know?!"

"It's very simple. There is no sound when you walk, and you never show your hands and feet. The most important evidence is what you told us."

"What evidence? How can I possibly tell you what evidence?"

"Didn't you say that the original owner of the castle was a puppeteer witch? He was eaten by you. Then you can't be a witch, can you?"

"You will be punished, you will definitely be punished!" Teacher Mao jumped from the cauldron onto the stage, and cursed viciously while running backstage, with obvious trembling and fear in his voice.

It has never seen such a desperate human being!terrible!terrible!Meow!

Jiang Xu didn't stop her, as if she finally clapped her hands in relief: "Okay, the problem has finally been resolved, let's meet the master of our stage play next."
