Strange talk about rules: Are my colleagues not human?

Chapter 8 The Secret of Numbers

"Ask if you don't understand, is this triggering a hidden mission?"

"Is it a little easter egg? There is a reward for guessing the password?"

"Want to eat farts, this thing is going to wipe out one-fifth of the human race."

Second rule?

Everyone in the emergency base looked serious.

The first rule was straightened out, and the second rule emerged.

This weird world is obviously going to kill people.

Fortunately, the rules this time tend to be puzzle-solving in nature, not very dangerous.

Just find the password within the allotted time.

"Hey, why is Crazy Ke not moving in the chair?"

"I'm going to sleep? What kind of operation is this?"

"You're tired. After all, the world of strange tales of rules has gone through more than three hours."

"Continuously using the brain intensively for such a long time, Crazy Ke is also a human being, right?"

Is Linke tired?
Actually not.

Right now his mind was racing.

The reason why I closed my eyes and fell asleep was just to better organize the thoughts in my mind.

Manager Chen's last forcible violation of the rules made him very concerned.

Perhaps, Manager Chen is not as simple as a tool person.

Assuming that Manager Chen is not a tool person, then his reaction can infer that there is something that makes him afraid in the financial room.

Lin Ke opened his eyes, found a pen and paper on the desk, and wrote down the key words in his mind one by one.

The gold-rimmed glasses stared at the live broadcast screen, and quickly recorded the words written by Lin Ke.

Threat?

interest?

permission?

cost?

Tool man?
The gold-rimmed glasses looked at the recorded content in a daze.

Lin Ke's performance just now obviously thought of something crucial.

Express your thoughts through writing.

"Does this have anything to do with the financial room or the password?"

The gold-rimmed glasses pondered for a long time, but couldn't figure out why, then turned to look at Zhang Xue.

"I don't think this has anything to do with the password. It's more likely to be Lin Ke's guess about the world of strange tales of rules."

The tunic suit on the side suddenly interrupted.

"It should be that Manager Chen's abnormal behavior just now made Lin Ke have a certain association."

"He's trying to understand something deeper in that world."

"Obviously, that Manager Chen is an NPC with independent thoughts."

"From the screen, he forcibly violated the rules and ordered the monster to attack Lin Ke in the end. He suffered a certain loss."

"So, the danger we face may not be just the rules themselves." The old man said with a final word.

Everyone fell silent and looked at Lin Ke in the live broadcast.

Will this child who has caused many accidents continue to bring miracles to everyone?
Lin Ke put down the paper in his hand and stood up slowly, with excitement in his eyes.

He took a few deep breaths slowly before calming down.

Lin Ke walked to the door and began to look around the entire financial room.

The first and third rules can be ignored for now.

It is not allowed to destroy any items where it can be seen.

Lin Ke's eyes fell on the row of filing cabinets.

There are a total of three one-meter glass cabinets, all of which are locked.

Through the glass, you can see the neatly arranged folders inside.

All folders are arranged by number.

"Hey, look, there seems to be a number on that folder."

"And the one below."

"Is it possible that these unnumbered folders are codewords for passwords?"

"Fuck, you guys are awesome. We're faster than Crazy Ke this time."

"Have you done a big analysis, what kind of password is it?"

"I don't even know the digits, so analyze it with a hammer."

"It seems to be the same. Shouldn't lunatic Ke go to see the password of the safe first?"

"Why don't you send him a private message to remind him?"

Soon someone sorted out the numbers marked on the folder.

"376850, thank you for taking it away."

"Strange, how the arrangement of these numbers is a bit crooked."

"Do you say that the password is arranged from left to right or from right to left?"

"I hope Lin Ke is not as stupid as you, otherwise the people of the whole country will follow suit."

Lin Ke looked at the paper in his hand and fell into deep thought.

Six numbers, without more prerequisites, it is impossible to succeed in one attempt.

Lin Ke walked to the safe, and it turned out to be a six-digit combination disk.

There must be other constraints to arrange the order of the passwords.

On the other hand, the missions of Bear Country and Eagle Country seem to be going very smoothly.

After the ghostly shadow incident, no other emergencies occurred.

Soon someone noticed that the flow of time in the live broadcast room was getting faster.

It has reached 10 times the level of the real world.

It was not until half an hour later that the flow rate was changed back to 2 times speed.

At this time, the time in the rule ghost talk is 5:[-] in the morning.

Only 6 minutes to 20 o'clock.

And Lin Ke hasn't found the correct arrangement of the password yet.

Lin Ke rubbed his sore and swollen eyes. He hadn't closed them for nearly twenty hours.

In five hours, he basically ransacked the entire financial room.

Except for the six numbers extracted from the filing cabinet, nothing related to numbers can be found.

Even the files on the desk are all blank.

So where is the key to solving the puzzle?

Lin Ke was lying on the ground, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Because of the glare of the light, he had just turned off the light.

The financial room was plunged into darkness again.

His head hurt a little, Lin Ke slowly closed his eyes.

He felt as if the whole world was spinning.

The layout of the financial room is presented in my mind one by one.

File cabinets, unnumbered files, huge picture windows behind desks.

And those four rules, what is the connection between them?
Why is rule three really just for limited time?
If it were, it would be superfluous for the back room to be shrouded in darkness.

The room is enveloped in darkness...

Lin Ke opened his eyes abruptly.

Is it possible that the second half of the sentence is the key point.

And that limited time is just to confuse the public.

Something that connects darkness and number symbols...

Link immediately stood up.

There is an A5-sized photo frame on top of the safe.

He took out his phone and turned on the compass.

Lin Ke walked to the safe.

When the sun came out, the sunlight shone obliquely on the photo frame.

The direction of the reflection is exactly that file cabinet with numbers.

Lin Ke immediately picked up a few documents from the table and rolled them out into a small cylinder the size of a thumb.

Lin Ke's series of operations stunned everyone who watched the live broadcast of Longguo.

"Could it be that Crazy Ke has discovered the secret of the numerical order?"

"There is also a possibility that he really became Ke's lunatic."

"Looking at Crazy Ke's expression, it's more likely to find the answer."

Lin Ke stepped on the chair, turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone, covered the camera with a paper tube, and slowly adjusted the angle of illumination.

　I wish you all a happy new year!
