Rule Oddities, But I Bring My Wife

Lin Xi had a wife, but fate is unpredictable, and Lin Xi's wife died in a car accident. The good news is that she turned into a naive, amnesiac ghost and returned to her side.

There's...

Chapter 130 Greek Numerals

Chapter 130 Greek Numerals

In her performance the day before, Lin Xi had portrayed herself as a powerless, weak woman. Even when questioned, she would respond with phrases like "I don't know" and "I'll do as you say." Her sudden aggressiveness startled Lawyer Qin.

Lin Xi ignored Lawyer Qin. After everyone's eyes fell on her, she continued, "Then I'll be frank. I think there's something wrong with Lawyer Qin." She caught Lawyer Qin off guard, but her words made the voice-over and model's eyes light up, and Miss Fan also showed a look of surprise.

"I just followed the crowd and voted yesterday, but last night I felt so strange and couldn't sleep because of it. When we were voting yesterday, Lawyer Qin cleverly used raising hands or not raising hands to announce who we were voting for. By doing so, she didn't really give us a chance to choose."

Lawyer Qin listened calmly to Lin Xi's words. She raised an objection at this point: "Then what other voting methods are there?"

Lin Xi pulled a piece of paper and a notepad from his pocket. The notepad was small, with only a few sheets of paper, the kind you'd find in hotel rooms. Lin Xi said, "Everyone should have something like this in their room. Wouldn't it be the most convenient way to vote? Lawyer Qin, you were writing and drawing on a notepad this afternoon. You brought your own notepad with you. Wouldn't it be the most practical way to write down who you want to vote for?"

Lawyer Qin was tricked by Lin Xi. With her brain, it was impossible for her not to think of a method like writing the name directly. She used that method yesterday just to gain the right to speak and defeat the gloomy man directly. She raised her glasses and said, "In this case, I have to reveal my identity. I am the chief of police, and I have the ability to check. Not only did he come to me yesterday, but I also found that he had problems. That's why I voted for him!"

The middle-aged woman also interjected at this time: "That's right, Xiao Qin is very good. Following Xiao Qin, we will definitely win!" As soon as she finished saying this, the model next to her pulled her. The middle-aged woman pretended to be very puzzled, and then seemed to remember something. She lowered her head reluctantly and stopped talking.

But her words not only failed to clear Lawyer Qin of suspicion, but instead increased everyone's suspicion of her. The thug even laughed at her without hesitation: "A very good person?"

The hustle and bustle continued with a few more words, and Lin Xi chimed in with a few jabs at Lawyer Qin. Lawyer Qin, however, didn't doubt Lin Xi's identity; instead, he looked indignant at her lack of resistance. Could Lawyer Qin really be the sheriff? This suspicion flashed through Lin Xi's mind, because the way she looked at him was like looking at a mob that couldn't play a game.

Because the voting time was not approaching, everyone quarreled for a few words and then stopped talking. They just lowered their heads and had their own plans. Lin Xi's eyes fell on the stone statue in front of her. She reached out and touched the stone statue. Yesterday, things were too chaotic and I didn't observe it carefully. Today, I have time to take a good look.

Lin Xi's seat was right next to the statue's feet. She reached out and poked it, but it was still cold stone. With nothing else to do, she simply snapped her fingers. She didn't use much force, just to avoid breaking her fingers and crying later.

But after playing it, Lin Xi realized something was wrong - it was empty?

Lin Xi was a little stunned. In fact, the difference between hollow stone and solid stone is quite obvious. You can tell by just tapping with your fingers. Just now, she was still unsure. Lin Xi stretched out her hand and tapped again. At this moment, she was sure that the stone statue was indeed hollow. Lin Xi also asked the middle-aged woman next to her for confirmation: "Auntie, take a look, is this stone statue hollow?"

The middle-aged woman was stunned for a moment, but she still helped Lin Xi knock on the stone statue, and then said with a strange look on her face: "Yes, it really is empty."

The gangster said, "It's already this late, and you're still bothering with this broken stone statue."

Of course she had to take care of it. If she didn't, she wouldn't be able to pass the level. The second condition for passing the level was to "find the murderer who killed Lily." Now Lily was not only a fake stone statue, but also hollow. Where could she find the murderer? Lin Xi could use the same method as the previous copy to find the architect of this copy and force him to change the conditions.

But Shen Sangning clearly wanted to play right now, and she felt she should find a way to clear the dungeon, or at least give some information to the other streamers currently streaming. She suspected that Wang Xue and the others had also entered the dungeon, as they were all acquaintances. If Lin Xi discovered they were all dead after they left, she would be heartbroken.

If they really couldn't pass the level in the end, they would have to use the final means to let Shen Sang Ning pass it violently, but if she really found the answer to the second puzzle, the official would definitely send the answer to those anchors instantly. On the other hand, as long as one of them knew the puzzle, everyone would get the answer.

However, the punk's words gave Lin Xi a second thought: Are the ghosts' clearance requirements different from theirs? Why would they even care about this broken stone statue? Isn't this statue the most important thing when there's nothing else to do? Otherwise, even if they survived until the last day, there would be no way out.

Lin Xi did not ask this question, but thought of another excuse: "It is obvious that the villa owner is the one who has arranged for us to be here inexplicably. Isn't it strange to put this stone statue on the dining table inexplicably? If we can find any clues, we may be able to get rid of the current situation and leave us directly."

Her excuse was quite good, and the others who heard her thought it had some truth. The model was one of them: "I'm very busy at work. I've already been here for two days. If I stay any longer, the company will get in trouble! You're right, we should also figure out how to get out of here!"

Lin Xi and the model searched together, and finally Lin Xi touched a piece of paper between the two overlapping hands of the stone statue, and Lin Xi pulled it out of its hands. Seeing that she had really found something, everyone turned towards her. Lin Xi unfolded it and saw three strange symbols. One was like a 3 turned upside down, one was an o with a symbol on top, and the last one was a w with a symbol on top.

——What is this? !

Lin Xi took a deep breath and looked at it for a while, but in the end, he still didn't get any clues, so he handed it to someone else. To everyone's surprise, Lawyer Qin knew what it was.

"Greek numerals?"

When she heard this, ABO popped into her mind instantly. It was no wonder that she only knew three Greek numbers: ABO. Lawyer Qin explained: "It seems that they are Ipsilon, Delta, and Omega."

Hey, isn't Omega just Omega and the symbol is a resistor? How can it be a W? But Lawyer Qin seemed to understand, so I believed it for now.

Just as Lin Xi was expressing her conviction, a disdainful "Hmph" suddenly rang out. Everyone was puzzled, and Lawyer Qin felt provoked. Especially since Lin Xi had previously slammed her, saying there was something wrong with her, she felt like a provoked lioness, looking around and demanding, "Who is it?!"

At this moment, no one stood up. Lin Xi was even more observant. Seeing that no one acknowledged Lawyer Qin, she snorted, "You're just playing tricks behind my back. If you think what I said is wrong, just stand up and say it. What's the point of snorting behind my back?!"

She was right. The person who snorted just now really wanted to come out and cause trouble for her, but was stopped by Lin Xi. Everyone heard that the snort was a woman's voice. Excluding Lawyer Qin himself and the middle-aged woman, the remaining ones could only be Lin Xi, the model, and Miss Fan. The question just now was asked by Lin Xi, and her expression was like "Wow, you are awesome", so Lawyer Qin didn't think it was her.

Lawyer Qin looked at the model and Miss Fan and felt that it was more likely Miss Fan.

However, the truth was, it was Shen Sangning who had snorted coldly. She clearly disagreed with Lawyer Qin's answer. Not only did Shen Sangning disagree, but Cai Hua outside also disagreed.

They had many professionals there, and they quickly figured out what the three characters meant. They were indeed Greek, but they were not Greek numbers, they were Greek words. Numbers usually don't have symbols on them, and using characters plus symbols can represent simple words and sentences.

These three words together mean: here.

Li Lanna asked, "Should we start sending the translated content to Lin Xi?"

Cai Hua shook her head: "Chen Sang Ning obviously disagreed with what Lawyer Qin said just now. She probably knows Greek. When they are alone at night, if Chen Sang Ning does not give the correct answer, it will not be too late to consider it. In addition..." Cai Hua looked at Li Lana and began to instruct: "Let the folklore experts in Greece analyze whether there are any stories about "here" or fake humans in Greece. After they are summarized, give them to me."

"Teacher, do you doubt that this note means anything other than 'The murderer is here'?"

Li Lana's proposal is actually what everyone agrees with. "Here" obviously means "the murderer is here." It is very likely that she is revealing that the murderer is among them. There may be a ghost who is good at shapeshifting, mixing among the crowd, watching them struggle and enjoying the fear of the living.

Cai Hua felt that things were not that simple: "I don't think so. The ghosts in that world are very cunning. If they hide in the crowd, they are likely to be killed by the Wolves or thrown out. This is not safe. I am thinking of another possibility. Is it possible that the copy architect is hiding in the villa? Just like Shen Sangning, or in the previous 'Sweet Home', lurking in an unnoticed corner."

Li Lanna raised another possibility: "Could it be that, like in the first instance, this villa is actually the architect?"

"It's too boring to repeat the same routine twice. This time the building should be the same as the school, just a simple place." Cai Hua held the pen, she felt that she had gradually grasped the sinister intention of the rule talk. In front of her was the main rule of this time. Cai Hua pressed the pen, she had a guess...
