Chapter 82 Decryption



Du Yuqi said slowly after a while:

"What about Lanzat? It shouldn't be far away, right?"

The driver said:

"Yes, sir. Although these houses on both sides of Shell Avenue are old, they are still durable and quite good. But why are they considered slums? It's because it's not far from Lanzarote. It's not that there haven't been rich people who want to live here. But it is said that mysterious deaths and ghosts often occur here. Only poor people who don't care about anything will live here."

Du Yuqi nodded and suddenly said:

"Okay, let's stop here. I think you're right. It's too unlucky to go to a place like Lanzarote. On the contrary, I think places like Shell Avenue are also full of great beauty, so I think this place is also quite good. As long as we don't stay here until night, supernatural events won't follow me, right?"

After hearing this, the driver said happily:

"Okay, sir, you're getting off here?"

Du Yuqi nodded, got out of the car, gave a generous tip, and then began to look at the surrounding buildings.

Yes, after he came here, he felt that he could do another thing - that is, to get the clue from the dead ghost Shi Siding. At that time, Du Yuqi thought he was wearing a dimensional ring, which was actually a very ordinary thing, but later after meeting the old man Feng Lin, he realized that this thing was actually a prop used to hide top secrets, and even on the continent of Arad, there were only a handful of people who could unlock it.

At this time, Du Yuqi felt that the secret hidden in this thing might be extraordinary, and according to the content decrypted by the old man Feng Lin, it directly pointed to Cantwin! To be precise, it was No. 17, Shell Avenue, Cantwin, and the password was... The radish is very sweet.

At this time, Du Yuqi found that he had arrived at Cantwin Shell Avenue, so there was no reason not to stop by. At first, he took this thing from Shi Siding and thought it was just a side income. It was not until he met Feng Lin that he realized that this thing probably contained a very big secret.

As soon as the driver left, Du Yuqi stood on Shell Avenue. At this time, he could get closer to the buildings on both sides. He could feel more and more that although these buildings were old, they were rich in historical accumulation. At the same time, he had an indescribable feeling of familiarity.

When Du Yuqi reached a high place where he could overlook the buildings on both sides of Shell Avenue, he immediately found the source of this familiar feeling...a prison or a barracks!

The last time in Shatley, Du Yuqi climbed up to overlook the city layout of Shatley. Originally, the city was built as a war fortress, so it looked dull, strict and tough.

Looking down from a high place, the buildings on both sides of Shell Avenue are neatly arranged on both sides of the avenue, with exactly the same style. Of course, they are 50% similar to those in Chateli, but they form a completely different style from the prosperity and complexity of Kantwin. However, due to the erosion of time, the buildings still have an amazing beauty of wind and frost, which is particularly touching if they are in the sunset.

Next, Du Yuqi began to look for No. 17 Beike Avenue. He originally thought that this was a very simple matter, but it was not the case. Du Yuqi asked several people in succession, and without exception, they all shook their heads, indicating that they had never heard of this place.

Du Yuqi never expected that the first thing he encountered would lead to a deadlock. He even thought that the source of the information might be wrong, but he immediately ruled out this possibility. Shi Siding could not have predicted that he would be beaten to death, and Feng Lin, the old man, was focused on breaking his own limits and it was impossible for him to do anything in this regard.

After confirming that the information on his side was correct, Du Yuqi began to think about other possibilities. He currently imagined several possible situations, such as language communication and translation problems. Some of the information left by Shi Siding needed to be translated, and Feng Lin came according to his own translation.

This situation is very common on the earth. For example, BENZ cars are called Benz in Taiwan, Pingzhi in Hong Kong, and Benz in mainland China due to translation reasons.

Another possibility is that the information left by Shi Siding is the same as the way the scabbard transmits information, which is to act directly on the mind. Then Feng Lin may have some deviations when retelling it.

At the same time, Du Yuqi still remembered one thing, that is, there is another method of transmitting information in the Arad world. He had experienced it personally. It was just like what the Poison Cat King did after regaining his sanity. He directly imprinted the information he wanted to transmit into his mind. Then after Feng Lin obtained this information, he could only retell his own memory, which would also lead to deviations.

Knowing where the problem roughly occurred, Du Yuqi naturally knew how to solve it. He simply entered the buildings on both sides of Shell Avenue for on-site investigations and at the same time spent a lot of money to obtain relevant information.

With money paving the way, a large amount of information was gathered to Du Yuqi. Of course, everything has its pros and cons. The thing that is most lacking in this slum is criminals, so Du Yuqi suffered three thefts and four robberies in a short period of time. Well, but Du Yuqi was in a good mood today, so after only slightly punishing them, he spared their lives and told them that if they had any information about No. 17 Shell Avenue, they could come to him to exchange it for a silver coin.

History is often changed by seemingly insignificant things. Du Yuqi did not expect that the problem in front of him could be solved with such a cheap price of three silver coins. The gangster he let go quickly returned and took Du Yuqi to a building next to Shell Avenue.

This building, like the rest, was severely eroded by wind and was old. Despite this, the structure of the three floors was still very solid. The gangster took Du Yuqi around to the back of the building and found a big hole dug near the corner of the wall, which seemed to have been dug not long ago.

The gangster told Du Yuqi that the pit was dug by him and a few of his brothers, and its purpose was simple: to bury people. There was a guy who owed them a lot of money, so these guys planned to dig a pit and bury him alive. However, this guy was lucky enough to take out the money before the deadline, so the pit was never used.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that the location of this pit is built close to this ancient stone building, so you can see a strange symbol carved on the wall of the underground part of the stone building. This symbol is about the size of a washbasin. Many people will not recognize it, but Du Yuqi’s understanding of the language system on the Arad continent is different. It comes from the drop of apostle’s blood that he absorbed, so he has mastered much more language and cultural systems than most people!

So, this symbol looks like a rope with many knots, but its actual meaning is a number, to be precise, the number eight!

The gangster pointed at the symbol and told Du Yuqi that it was a unique symbol passed down in their tribal culture. He had seen his grandmother use this symbol to record events, so this symbol was the number eight. He also said that it was a great fortune for Du Yuqi to find him because their tribe was on the verge of extinction.

This demise was not due to the decline in population, but rather to the fact that the imperial culture had been popular among the Cantewin for many years, so the next generation of these tribes also began to accept the imperial culture imperceptibly and forget their own inherited civilization - well, this kind of situation was also very common in Chinese history over thousands of years, and the Han culture assimilated countless ethnic groups.

Du Yuqi suppressed his excitement and hired several people to dig in the same part of the building next door. Sure enough, they found the same number nearby. Although the number was a little mottled, it was still clear that it was seven.

After determining the order of the numbers, the location of the first building should be easy to determine. Why was Du Yuqi so excited? Because he had thought of a possibility. Since there was no such place as No. 17 Shell Avenue, there was another possibility, which was No. 7, Building 1, Shell Avenue. If Feng Lin read it in succession, it was possible that he would read it directly as No. 17 due to the layout or writing method.

At the same time, Du Yuqi found that these ancient buildings did not seem to have only three floors as they appeared to the naked eye. So he walked in to investigate and found that it was indeed the case. The building had six floors, and three floors were buried in the soil. The locals believed that this was a basement, but Du Yuqi did not think so, because how could there be windows in the basement?

Therefore, the only explanation is that the earth's crust has been sinking for hundreds of years, and the strong wind and sand have buried half of the six-story building. After several years, the building will even be buried directly underground. However, judging from the time period when it was built, it is absolutely appropriate to write the building number at the waist of the building.

After arriving at the building that was confirmed to be a building, Du Yuqi asked people to dig a hole on the side of the building to see the number. However, after digging it out, he was a little confused. The mark left on it was actually number 14!

Du Yuqi suddenly felt an indescribable weirdness, because under normal circumstances, the buildings marked as one should be at the starting point or the end of Shell Avenue, because according to common sense, this building should be the first one to be built. He asked people to dig a few pits close to other buildings to check the marks on them, and found out an unfortunate news, the order of the buildings here should be disordered, or at least they are arranged in an order that Du Yuqi does not understand!
