Chapter 171 Reasoning Notes 4: Return of Ye Shenyue (33)
"It's all up to me!" Xiu Z pointed his nose proudly, "I'm a little computer prodigy and the champion of the World Children's Computer Competition!"

Ryuk, the god of death, glanced at Xiu Z like a needle, and chose to ignore him again.

"You're finally here." Edison said expectantly.

"If you weren't so incompetent, I wouldn't need to show up." Ryuk, the god of death, must have eaten a lot of arsenic on his tongue—it was super poisonous.

Then he walked to the control hall, unhurriedly poured a glass of milk, took out a plate of snacks, and sat on a chair to enjoy them slowly.While eating, he asked, "Detective, how is your reasoning going? Do you know where Zone is?"

"No clue!" Edison sat beside him and glanced at Luke, "What about you, you must have gained something from the Dream Stealer's house, right?"

"Oh?" Reaper Ryuk stopped his fork, half of the cake was eaten, "Do you know that I went to Dream Thief's house?"

"Otherwise, why didn't the police go to search these two days?"

"So, you asked me to stay there on purpose to find something?"

"So have you found your things?" Edison asked calmly.

Reaper Ryuk didn't answer directly, but took out a document from his pocket: "I found something more interesting."

"What's interesting? I want to see it!" Xiu Z, who seemed to be playing with the computer but was actually eavesdropping, couldn't hold back, and asked enthusiastically.Even though Ryuk, the god of death, gave him a blank look, he still shouted outrightly: "Don't look at people with this kind of eyes, children also have the right to be curious."

So, he took a small bench, stood on it, supported Edison's shoulders, and finally saw the documents on the table.

It was a publicity advertisement, an advertisement made by Dream Thief for his own company, by hanging a giant LED billboard on the outer wall of the building.At first glance, there is nothing unusual about it, but the design pattern of the billboard sent to the advertising company by the dream stealer was spotted by Ryuk, the god of death.

"Look here, the icon as a whole is nothing special, but if you remove the rest, you can see that it contains a pattern of a five-pointed star surrounded by a circle, which is exactly the same as the pattern used by Dream Thieves before."

"Is this okay?" Xiu Z scratched his head and said, "But most people would see this icon as a whole. It only partially contains this pattern, will it also work visually?"

"Not necessarily." Edison thought of something, "Of course it won't be strange to see it during the day, but what if it is seen at night? Now many outdoor LED billboards use special lighting effects at night, just design a little flashing lights By using this method, this pattern can be displayed alone. Xiu Z, you should quickly check where the billboard of this icon is."

"Yeah, it's finally my chance to show off." Xiu Z excitedly ran back to the computer, desperately using his housekeeping skills.The sound of typing on the keyboard "crackling" echoed in the control hall.

Ryuk, the god of death, finished eating the cake with a calm expression.Just at this time, Xiu Z also called out: "I found it." He turned the computer 90 degrees, facing Death Ryuk and Edison, "I just checked, and the only place in this city where there is such a billboard, you guys look!"

Sure enough, the computer screen showed a huge LED billboard hanging on the outer wall of the building, and even the picture of the billboard after nightfall was also found.

As Edison inferred, this billboard uses a three-beat flashing method, one of which happens to be presented in the night with a pattern of circles and five-pointed stars alone, so that it is difficult to be noticed.Edison had to admire the thoughtfulness of the Dream Stealer.

"Although I found this billboard, I can't see where the Zone is at all!" Xiu Z nodded his chin seriously.

"No," Edison and Death Ryuk said almost in unison, "Zone has already appeared."

As the mouse slides, the full picture of the picture is also displayed - the building with the billboard standing on the edge of the broad Pearl River.

"Another Zone is the Pearl River across the city."

"Ah, the Zone turns out to be a big river," Xiu Z thoughtfully continued the next stage of reasoning, "No wonder the Dream Thieves call it hell. If the Zone is the Pearl River, then as long as the hypnotized brain waves After receiving the order to enter the Zone, everyone will jump into the Pearl River without hesitation. How many people will be drowned! The trick of the Dream Stealer is vicious!"

Neither Edison nor Grim Reaper Ryuk said a word, and there were ice-like gazes under their tightly furrowed brows.

"However, luckily we finally found the location of the Zone." Xiu Z was gearing up, "As long as we remove that rotten billboard before tonight, everything will be fine."

"You're too naive," Death Ryuk looked indifferently at Xiu Z who was dancing because he was too excited, "Things are not that simple."

"This billboard has been up for a month," Edison said with calm eyes, "even if it is taken down now, the only people who are hypnotized and will not jump into the Pearl River are those who have not seen this advertisement But in the past month, there must have been many people who have taken a night tour by the Pearl River, and the pattern will more or less remain in their memory. And last month, a grand sports meeting was held by the Pearl River For the opening ceremony, this billboard was used as the background and appeared more than once in the live broadcast of the opening ceremony. Thousands of people have watched the opening ceremony!"

"Ah, isn't that a waste of work? What should I do?" Xiu Z sat back on the chair in frustration.

"So," Edison leaned forward slightly, watching the two of them, "We can't eliminate the Zone. Now the only way is to stop the dream stealer's hypnosis."

"But, how to stop it? We don't even know how he did it." Xiu Z was a little discouraged.

"Let's review the concert events first." Edison said, "Unfortunately, at that time, I was pulled out of the concert hall by Qi Mu, only to hear the TV news break of the priest of death, and then He showed up at the concert and hypnotized everyone. That's probably how it was."

"So Dream Thief appears on the stage," Xiu Z said, "When everyone pays attention to him, they will fall into the hypnosis of his eyes without knowing it."

"It is indeed possible."

"Don't you think it's strange?" Ryuk, the god of death who has been meditating, raised his head and looked over with clear eyes. "The concert incident can be explained in this way. The question is, is it the same for the subsequent incidents? People on the whole street disappeared, did he go to hypnosis from house to house? And the disappearance of the school is the same. As far as I know, the students in the school did not disappear during the school day, but at night Missing. Their addresses are scattered throughout the city, if Dream Thief goes to hypnotize them one by one, wouldn’t he have to run away? Would he use such a primitive and tiring method?”

"That is to say, there are other methods of hypnotizing people?" Edison fell into deep thought.

From the beginning, they seem to have taken a detour-they care too much about the dream thief's hypnotic eyes.

"What if it's not directly hypnotized with the eyes?" Death Ryuk said slowly, "The easiest and most direct way to hypnotize a large number of people in different places at the same time is..."

"Ah!" The eyes of the three people turned to the same place in unison.

In the studio hall.

The news at 9 o'clock in the evening is entering the final countdown period. The male and female anchors have already sat in front of the camera, and there is one minute left.The expressions on the faces of the people present were dignified. A new speech video sent by the death priest will be played later, and he seems to be announcing the appearance of the third servant.

The director made a countdown gesture, and there was only the last 15-second commercial left.

In the TV station building under the darkness of night, a man in a white suit and a bow tie was walking slowly in the bright hall. Suddenly, he saw two high school students and a primary school student rushing into the gate.Before the guards had time to ask, they ran up the stairs with a "thump-thump-thump".The man in white turned his head slightly and looked at the three disappearing figures, a strange smile suddenly appeared on his cold cheeks.

After going up to the third floor, the beautiful girl who ran at the front yelled while running in the corridor: "Please let me go!"

The staff stepped aside one after another, and it wasn't until the three of them ran over anxiously that someone said, "Huh? Wasn't L the one who ran over just now? What's she doing here again? Isn't the Dream Thief incident over?"

In a blink of an eye, they had disappeared around the corner.

The audience rating of the 9 o'clock news in the evening is 22 o'clock, that is to say, there are 300 million people watching in the whole city.According to past practice, the video of the priest's speech will be rebroadcast in the next day's news, so it is estimated that more than 1000 million viewers watched the video content.

The door of the studio was pushed open violently, and the two stood at the door gasping for breath, especially Edison, who was sweating wildly and his face was as pale as an emergency patient.He still has difficulty adapting to this girl's body.It would have been much better if he had been stored in the body of an athlete.What's more, Ann's big boobs this morning are simply a burden to exercise.

"Record...video..." Edison half bent his waist, sweat soaked his eyelashes.He stretched out his hand and took a few breaths before continuing, "Did the Priest of Death send you a new video?"

"Yes, yes..." The director looked at the famous detective and felt a little puzzled.
