Chapter 68
Luo Yiyuan's voice shocked the guests who were looking at the map and trying to find the password.
Gu Feiyang threw the map in his hand and ran to Luo Yiyuan in disbelief, looking down at the screen of his mobile phone.
“Fuck…it’s really unlocked!”
The others also rushed over immediately, looked at their phones, and then all looked at Su Xingyao in surprise, their eyes full of admiration.
"Susu, how did you know this password so quickly!!!"
"I saw you didn't really look at the map just now..."
The guests were really curious.
As for decryption, they have now found the map and clues. As long as they are given enough time and opportunities for trial and error, they will definitely be able to figure out the code.
But the key is, there are only three minutes and five chances...
In such a tight time, Su Xingyao was able to decipher the password in one go, which was really amazing.
Thinking of this, the guests didn’t even care about what information was on their phones for the time being. They just wanted to know how Su Xingyao had cracked the password so quickly!
Not only the guests, but the audience as well.
There were not many comments in the live broadcast room, so everyone just stared at Su Xingyao's face in the camera, afraid of missing his next words.
Su Xingyao, who was being stared at by everyone, looked around at the pitch-black environment.
His fear of the dark instinctively kicked in, and he originally wanted to suggest that everyone go somewhere else to hide.
But seeing that everyone was so curious, he could only take Luo Yiyuan's phone and lock the screen.
Because the unlocking process just now was too difficult, everyone subconsciously tried to stop him from locking the phone.
"Hey, don't lock it!"
Su Xingyao waved her hands at the stressed people, "It's okay, we can still untie it."
After saying that, he turned on the screen and pointed to the lock screen wallpaper of his phone. "The wallpaper told me."
"Wallpaper? Are there numbers on it?"
Wu Ningning quickly came over and looked at the wallpaper carefully. "Five-pointed stars and three flowers?"
She glanced at the two items and said, "This can solve for 5 and 3, but what about the other numbers?"
Su Xingyao pointed at the three flowers and nodded.
"It's because of these three flowers. But I didn't recognize what they were before, I just thought they looked familiar."
"But just now it occurred to me that the cover of the book the curator was holding actually also had this flower on it."
After Su Xingyao said this, the guests and the audience felt that their brains and eyes were not enough.
【Have you seen it? 】
【Where have I seen this before! 】
[Does the curator have a book in his hand? ]
[Fuck, Su Xingyao’s observation and memory are too strong...]
"She drew the stem and leaves of the flower, so I could recognize it as a narcissus."
“It’s Narcissus.”
"It's the first time I've seen it with only flowers. I couldn't tell them apart if you didn't tell me."
Su Xingyao nodded. He hadn’t thought of that just now.
After explaining the flower, he got straight to the point.
"There is a common problem in computer programming called finding a self-exponentiation."
Su Xingyao did not explain this in detail, but pointed to the five-pointed star and the three daffodils inside it.
"Three daffodils are exactly three-digit self-powered daffodil numbers, such as 153, 370, 371, and 407. The five-pointed star represents five-digit self-powered pentagram numbers, such as 54748, 92727, and 93084."
"He used daffodil numbers and pentagram numbers as screen savers, so I think the program team should use self-exponentiation numbers to set a password here."
Xie Jin understood, "The unlocking password is six digits, so they used six-digit self-exponentiation to set the password?"
Su Xingyao nodded, "Yes, they used the Liuhe number."
Gu Feiyang was confused. "How can we be sure it is a Liuhe number? It only has one number?"
Su Xingyao lowered her head and started entering the password on her phone again.
"Yes, there are self-exponentiation numbers with one and only one answer, and the only ones are sextiles and perfect numbers."
"548834."
Su Xingyao softly read out the six numbers and entered them on the corresponding keys with her fingers.
Soon, the phone was unlocked again.
"Xiaoxi wrote in his diary that he was learning programming recently, so I made a bold guess in that direction."
Guests who learned about this reasoning process: !!!!!!
Xie Jin: "You are so awesome, Susu..."
Luo Yiyuan: "Su Su, protect me!"
Wu Ningning: "I thought he just casually wrote this like me complaining about not understanding math, but it turned out to be a clue..."
"This observation is too detailed!" Gu Feiyang sighed, and looked at Su Xingyao curiously, "Then Su Su... that perfect number, do you remember what it is? Curious!"
Su Xingyao nodded and blurted out the answer, "4679307774."
Guests: 6
Audience: 6
[I haven’t even Baidu figured it out yet, and the standard answer is here…]
[What is a self-power? ]
[It is a natural number with x digits, which is composed of the sum of the x-power of the digits of each digit]
[It's so complicated, I've never heard of it before]
[It’s not that difficult actually, but the difficulty is that you want me to think of this based on the five-pointed star and the flower, and be able to blurt out these numbers in a few seconds... That’s asking for my brain and life! ]
[Ahhhhhhh Teacher Su, how come you have such a good memory! ]
Gu Feiyang, whose curiosity was satisfied, now looked at Su Xingyao with awe, as if a poor student looked at a top student.
"Susu... did you study computer science in college?"
“I studied finance.”
Su Xingyao said slowly, "But I had a roommate before. He was very interested in everything except his major. I wrote code with him for a while and learned a little bit about it."
Lyon was suddenly called out while he was overseas: ^_^
The director who had deliberately delayed the time but didn't expect it to be revealed so quickly: ...
This phone will be used to help them follow the plot later, but Su Xingyao solved this bug so easily! !
When the director collapsed, the NPC who was about to come up to take back his phone asked: Director, can I come up now?
The director covered his chest and said, "Come on, come on! Come on, all of you!!!"
The director gave the order, and many NPCs suddenly appeared around the square.
They were wearing strange clothes and had dull expressions, and they surrounded the guests like zombies.
Su Xingyao had just turned to the WeChat interface on her phone and before she had time to read the chat content, she was pulled forward by Luo Yiyuan.
"Run away Susu, these ghosts are coming!"
As soon as he finished speaking, those "zombies" quickened their pace as if they were wound up and started chasing after the guests.
A chase scene immediately broke out on the empty streets of the town.
"Damn, why are these things everywhere!"
After running two streets, they found that the corner where they could "meet love" was blocked by a new group of NPCs. Luo Yiyuan quickly pulled Su Xingyao and turned around to run to another street.
There was a whirring sound of wind in my ears, and the program crew was so mean as to add other clicking sound effects.
The darkness, the NPC chasing and the strange sound effects made the whole atmosphere even more eerie.
"Oh my god, how can I escape unscathed? This is clearly a town-wide hunt!"
The town was dark at night and the guests were running around like headless flies.
As they ran, they realized that the roads they were forced to run on by the NPCs were not the ones they had run on during the day.
By the time they reacted, they had already arrived in front of a room.
The desperate crowd stopped at the door and asked, "Do you want to come in?"
Before anyone could answer, they heard Wu Ningning scream.
“Ahhhhhhh let me go, let me go!!”
Su Xingyao turned her head and found that her arms were held by two NPCs dressed as magicians.
The three boys quickly turned around when they saw this. Su Xingyao grabbed Wu Ningning's hand and refused to let go, while Luo Yiyuan and Gu Feiyang pushed the two NPCs away.
With the efforts of the three people, Wu Ningning was finally rescued.
But Wu Ningning had just been rescued, and the NPC army that he had just managed to get rid of had already heard the noise and was about to block them here.
Since they were at their wit's end, Xie Jin pulled the door handle and said, "Come in."
Five people quickly entered the pitch-black room. Luo Yiyuan, who was the last one to walk in, locked the door and quickly propped his back against it.
Then there was a knock on the door.
He was breathing heavily but didn't dare to move his feet at all.
"This is too scary...Are you chasing me? This is..."
As soon as Luo Yiyuan finished speaking, he felt an electric shock pain on his hand where the bracelet was worn.
Su Xingyao is the same as him.
When the electric shock ended, he raised his hand and found that the bracelet, which had originally had no image on it, suddenly displayed 40%.
"What is my fifty percent?"
While Luo Yiyuan was speaking, Gu Feiyang also stretched out his hand, "Me too, 50 percent."
Xie Jin quickly looked at her bracelet, "Mine is 40%."
Wu Ningning, who was just frightened, stretched out her hand tremblingly, "Why is mine only 70% QAQ?"
Xie Jin looked at everyone's progress bar and guessed, "Didn't the previous notification tone say that if you touch this thing ten times, you will be eliminated? Our corresponding progress should be this?"
"Then I don't even have half a life left!" Wu Ningning almost cried when she heard this, "Why did I lose so much of my life..."
"Maybe you were caught by that NPC just now." Luo Yiyuan guessed.
"Susu and Xiaoxie weren't touched by them, so they dropped less. Brother Feiyang and I just touched them, so we dropped more."
Hearing this, Xie Jin glanced at his progress bar again, very puzzled, "Then why did Su Su and I also drop by 40% when we didn't do anything?"
Su Xingyao looked up at the sky through the window.
The moon tonight is brighter and rounder than yesterday.
"Is it possible that we will lose 40 percent if we stay here for a day and a night?"
After Su Xingyao said this, everyone felt that it made sense.
"The rescue time they gave us was three nights and two days. After deducting this amount, it was just right."
Wu Ningning became even more nervous after hearing this speculation, "Doesn't that mean I can only stay for one more day?"
After Wu Ningning said this, everyone became nervous, "So we have to hurry and find Xiaoxi."
"But where can we find it?"
"Let's see what's on the phone first."
Su Xingyao turned on her mobile phone and first opened the most conspicuous WeChat.
Xiaoxi’s WeChat account is very simple, and she has added very few people on it, basically just classmates, friends, and family.
Su Xingyao read all the information but didn't see anything useful.
"How about looking at the photo album again?"
Since WeChat didn’t provide any information, everyone quickly checked the photo album.
The album also contains normal scenery photos and daily life photos.
"That's impossible... You're being so mysterious, and you're just going to show us this?"
As soon as Luo Yiyuan finished speaking, he heard Xie Jin and Wu Ningning scream.
At the same time, Gu Feiyang also took a breath of cold air.
The last photo in the album showed his bloated, cracked and wounded arms, and the back of his head and shoulders whose skin and flesh had stuck together.
The skin on it was red, swollen and rotten, with no intact skin at all. It looked extremely hideous and terrifying when suddenly seen in the middle of the night.
Xie Jin: "His, what's wrong with him?"
Luo Yiyuan, "Is it a burn?"
Su Xingyao exhaled lightly, "Burns."
Wu Ningning also calmed down, "Yes, there was a fire in the photo we just found."
After listening to this, Luo Yiyuan leaned over to take another look and said, "This Xiaoxi is so pitiful. He is an orphan and was burned like this in the fire..."
As soon as Luo Yiyuan finished speaking, a mechanical sound came from everyone's earphones.
"Congratulations to the player for completing the side quest. Now, please take the time machine as soon as possible to find out the truth behind Xiaoxi's disappearance."
After the mechanical voice finished speaking, the front wall of the room suddenly cracked.
Two time machines appeared in the light.
The guests were a little speechless.
"Wow, so there's this thing hidden here?"
"If I had known I would have kicked this plastic wall when I came in."
Director in front of the monitor: ????
A bunch of thugs! ! !
There are only two time machines, which means we can only split into two teams.
After discussion, Luo Yiyuan and Su Xingyao sat in one seat, and the other three sat in one seat.
Su Xingyao stepped into the glowing time machine and looked it up and down, wondering how this thing could send them to another place.
Just as I was thinking about it, the door was opened.
Then two masked men reappeared with blindfolds.
Seeing this way of traveling through time, Su Xingyao, who was forced to wear a blindfold again, couldn't help but complain, "Is this how you send us back? Can't you be a little more modern?"
In the live broadcast, the audience was laughing to death when they finally found out how the time travel scenes in the show were edited.
[I am dying of laughter. It turns out that this is how the time machine in the variety show travels]
[Hahahahahahahaha what an advanced time machine! The guests have to blindfold themselves and walk by themselves]
As the audience laughed at the show, the masked man Ying took the guests to their respective destinations.
Then they stuffed the person into a time machine that was exactly the same as the previous one.
The time machine counted down for three seconds, followed by an extremely contrived sound effect.
“We have reached our destination.”
The guests pushed open the time machine while trying not to laugh.
Because the program had to be edited later, they had to cooperate with the program team to express their feelings after the ride.
"This time machine is really fast..."
"It's my first time riding a time machine. It's awesome."
"Just now I felt like I was traveling through time~"
After the guests finished their show in a ostentatious and perfunctory manner, Su Xingyao began to look carefully at the place they had arrived at.
He and Luo Yiyuan were taken to an orphanage.
Xie Jin and his group, who arrived at the same time as them, were also brought to an identical scene.
The program team created the same scene for both groups of guests, but the scenes everyone saw were completely different.
The two groups of guests arrived at different times.
Xie Jin and the others went back to ten years ago.
At this time, the orphanage was still intact.
Su Xingyao and the others went back to five years ago.
There was a big fire here.
The scenery built by the program crew is very realistic.
This was not a good thing for Su Xingyao, who had experienced a fire and almost lost his life.
This environment was really uncomfortable for him.
As soon as he set foot in and saw the broken walls and ruins after the fire, Su Xingyao's mind seemed to replay the scenes of the fire.
My breathing became difficult for a moment, and even the butterfly bone in my left shoulder began to ache slightly.
Su Xingyao closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down.
He thought he could face it calmly.
But the fire left a deep shadow on him after all.
After trying hard to look normal, Su Xingyao smiled at Luo Yiyuan, chatted with him normally, and continued searching the scene together.
Although the orphanage was not big, it was burned down, and the clues buried there were naturally very difficult to find.
The program crew was so mean as to give them a lot of useless information.
So they searched for more than ten minutes before they found Xiaoxi's room based on various obscure clues.
Xiaoxi's room is in a remote place on the second floor.
Su Xingyao found a locked box under the bed in his room.
The key to the box was soon found by Luo Yiyuan in the bulb of the desk lamp.
The two of them quickly opened it and found a yellowed note and some miscellaneous items inside.
Luo Yiyuan picked up the note and read the words on it with difficulty.
"Happy birthday, Xiaoxi~"
"We will always be together and be good friends for life."
Listening to Luo Yiyuan's words, Su Xingyao picked up the item.
A camera, a hairpin, a motorcycle, a piece of cloth and a small jacket for a doll.
Su Xingyao put these things and the note back into the box.
The program crew also began to remind them that it was time to take the time machine back to the city.
The program team started the countdown again.
Su Xingyao followed Luo Yiyuan and started heading towards the time machine.
On the way back, Luo Yiyuan was lucky enough to find a report on Xiaoxi's injury.
"Third degree burns on the head, arms and shoulders, with glass fragments inside the skin."
When Luo Yiyuan read out these words, his body couldn't help but tremble.
"How painful this must be."
Su Xingyao stopped when he heard that.
He looked at Luo Yiyuan and asked, "Yiyuan, have you ever thought about why Xiaoxi's wound was burned like that?"
Luo Yiyuan shook his head. He really hadn’t thought about it.
Su Xingyao didn't say anything, just waved to him and took him to a room.
The room had been burned beyond recognition, leaving only a small wall with a burnt mirror.
Su Xingyao didn't stop and went straight to a corner.
He squatted down.
"He should have been here."
Su Xingyao paused, "Maybe they were trapped here because of the fire. They were supposed to escape from the window, but they didn't expect the bookcase next to it to collapse after being burned."
As he spoke, Su Xingyao opened his arms and made a protective gesture.
"When Xiaoxi saw this, he used his body to protect the others."
"Others?"
Luo Yiyuan raised his eyebrows.
After listening to Su Xingyao's words, he suddenly had an idea and started digging quickly at the place where Su Xingyao was.
After digging for a while, they finally found a photo.
There are three children in the photo, two boys and one girl.
Sadly, the other half of the photo was destroyed by the fire.
Luo Yiyuan looked at the photo and sighed, "The fire was so big, but the photo hasn't been burned yet?"
Su Xingyao smiled.
"How can we find clues if everything is burned?"
Luo Yiyuan was stunned.
“Oh, yeah…”
[Hahaha, Teacher Su really understands the program team's tricks]
[Su Xingyao is so awesome! He discovered all these clues]
[After listening to him, I immediately understood why Xiaoxi was burned in these places and there were glass fragments. It turned out that it was to protect others.]
[Wow, wow, Xiaoxi is so pitiful...]
[But how did Su Xingyao find it so carefully? He even guessed where this place is.]
[The God of Variety Show Lives Up to His Name]
When the audience was marveling at how amazing Su Xingyao was, Luo Yiyuan suddenly remembered something and asked about Su Xingyao.
"Susu, how did you find this place?"
Su Xingyao stepped into the time machine and said, "I guessed it."
Luo Yiyuan:?
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I've had similar escape experiences before, so I paid more attention to this place when I passed by just now."
Su Xingyao usually answers all the questions from the guests.
So after Luo Yiyuan asked him, he naturally told the other party what he was thinking at the time.
Su Xingyao spoke in a very casual tone, as if she was talking about what she had eaten yesterday.
But Luo Yiyuan on the side opened his eyes wide.
Luo Yiyu's focus has always been different from that of normal people.
After hearing this, ordinary people might care about Su Xingyao and ask, "Have you ever experienced a fire before?"
But he thought of the posture of Xiaoxi's injury that Su Xingyao had just analyzed.
Most people who have experienced a fire would think that there is nothing wrong with escaping through a window.
But many people would never make such an accurate analysis that Xiaoxi was hit by the bookshelf while trying to protect his companion.
And Su Xingyao thought at a glance that it could only mean...
"Have you ever been hit like this in a fire?"
Su Xingyao didn't answer when he heard this.
He smiled, glanced at Luo Yiyuan and said calmly, "We should go back."
