I, Zhongli, Wander the World

In order to ensure the fairness of the game, the room where the detectives used the game was not in the same location as the auditorium where the game was watched. Therefore, not long after entering the building, Edogawa Ranpo and Edgar Allan Poe, who are contestants, will be separated from everyone.

Before leaving, Zhongyuan Zhong also took his little friend's hand and solemnly encouraged him: "You must do your best, and walk in a hurry."

Edogawa Ranbu raised his beret confidently, "Don't worry, Orange-kun, I am Edogawa Ranbu!"

Dazai Osamu, the fireman, watched the fun and cheered: "Show some color to that chief over there."

"What, what?" Edgar Allan Poe, who was suddenly cued, almost swayed the raccoon on his shoulders to the ground.

"rule."

Zhong Li gently pressed Dazai Osamu's head, the boy stuck out his tongue, and apologized politely: "Well, I was wrong, sorry, Mr. Po, you have to do your best."

When Osamu Dazai apologized, he deliberately leaned forward, and Edgar Allan Poe, who had easily crossed a safe distance, quickly covered his face with the little raccoon in his arms, and his voice barely came through the thick hair: "Okay, I know. please don't get so close..."

Osamu Dazai backed away contentedly, and unexpectedly, Zhongli pressed his head again.

Zhong Li, who had taught the skin boy a lesson, stepped forward, patted Edogawa Ranpo's shoulder gently, and said, "This is a blessing for this competition, it only has the effect of words, just do your best, mess up. step."

Edogawa Ranbu laughed happily, showing his thumb, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhongli!"

Fitzgerald looked at Edgar Allan Poe, "Mr. Poe..."

Social fear patient Edgar Allan Poe was shocked, "No, no, no, I don't have to!"

After saying goodbye to each other, they were led by the staff at the scene respectively, and several people separated.

The tickets of Zhong Li and others were VIP tickets, which were not in the same place as the ordinary audience. The staff led everyone to a private room.

Someone was already waiting there.

"Frank, you're finally back." The well-dressed woman got up from her seat and hugged Fitzgerald warmly, "Are these your guests?"

"Yes, Zelda." Fitzgerald separated from the woman and introduced with a smile, "This is Mr. Zhongli, the two teenagers are Nakahara Nakaya and Dazai Osamu, and the one in the back is Ayatsuji Mr. Pedestrian. Mr. Zhongli, this is my wife, Zelda. And..."

The little girl in the princess dress jumped out from behind Zelda, and Fitzgerald crouched down and hugged the little girl who was jumping over, saying, "This is my daughter, Scott."

The little girl blinked curiously at Zhongli, and said sweetly, "Hello, Mr. Zhongli."

"It's a pleasure to meet, madam, little miss." Zhongli nodded and said.

There is more than just viewing area in this spacious room. In addition to the entire TV wall and the comfortable sofa for sitting on the opposite side, it also includes an exquisite water bar, which can be seen through the floor-to-ceiling windows decorated with green plants See the open city view from the window.

"If there is any need, you can use the button over there to call the staff, and the people here will fulfill any request of the customer." Fitzgerald said, pointing to the button on the coffee table.

"Is this game going to take so long?" Zhongyuan Zhong also asked curiously.

"There must be a process for reasoning, boy." Fitzgerald shook his finger, "This is only the first half of the first game, giving the detectives enough time, if under such high-quality conditions all If he can lose the election, it can only be said that he is unqualified waste."

"It's not a pity for someone whose mind is full of straws to lose the election." Ayatsuji pedestrian looked at the huge display screen that had already been opened and said, "Those two people will come out in just one minute."

On a large enough screen, the picture has been split into several pieces. The largest piece shows the main venue of the arena, and there are several split screens showing the movements of each detective in turn.

Perhaps considering the relationship between the audience in the box and the contestants, two of the split screens were intimately fixed on Edogawa Ranpo and Edgar Allan Poe.

"Is this a lottery?" Zhongyuan Zhong also asked while looking at the image.

In the auditorium in the picture, almost all the furniture has been emptied, only a large box is placed in front of it, and the detectives present are taking turns to draw cards.

"Everyone's puzzle is different, and to ensure fairness, it can't be drawn electronically," Fitzgerald said, "but to ensure viewing, it will be displayed on the audience's split screen after recording. "

As his voice fell, the side of the split screen showed the question drawn by the corresponding detective.

Zhongyuan Zhong also blinked, "garbled code?"

"Oh, it's rarely used." Aya Tsuji Pedestrian, who saw the title, sat up a little and explained dutifully, "If you just look at the mystery, is it actually a mashup of classic passwords?"

Fitzgerald asked with interest: "Oh? Can you see through the question at a glance?"

"It still takes a lot of work to solve it, not to mention I'm not there yet." Ayatsuji Pedestrian said truthfully.

Scott, who had a crush on this beautiful uncle Zhong Li from the very first sight, gently tugged at the former's sleeve, "Mr. Zhongli, what is a classic password?"

Zhong Li tolerantly let the little girl tug at it, and roughly explained in a language that children could understand: "Classical cipher is a type of cipher that has been used frequently in history, and can be roughly divided into alternative and shifting. It is only modern Because it is too easy to decipher, it is less used."

"In the final analysis, the computing speed of the human brain is not as fast as that of a computer. Many operations that took time to complete in the human brain in ancient times can be completed in a few seconds by a computer in modern times." Ayatsuji pedestrian interface said, "But It doesn't mean that classical ciphers are no longer there, and many encryption programs on modern computers are also converted from classical ciphers. So, in a way, this is also the most difficult cipher to break."

"However, the passwords this time are not purely classic passwords. These passwords are based on classic passwords, combined with clues to solve puzzles, and include compound passwords composed of hieroglyphs, chess rules and some other rules. The external display is almost exactly the same as the garbled code."

"Haha, after all, it's a detective competition, not a computer performance competition." Fitzgerald laughed. "Those extra rule tips can be found on the spot, and it's absolutely impossible if you just bury your head in deciphering them."

Zhong Li nodded in agreement, "It not only tests the ability to adapt, but also judges the ability of observation and analysis, and also involves a little calculation ability. This kind of design is really good."

"I can rest assured that I can be approved by Mr. Zhongli." Fitzgerald said, and then changed the topic, "Anyway, this little brother Ayatsuji, do you really not consider joining the competition? Do you like it? reasoning?"

Fitzgerald was all too familiar with the way Ayatsuji pedestrian looked at the title just now, it was exactly the same as when he looked at the money-making project.

Ayatsuji Pedestrian suddenly collapsed, and the corners of his mouth, which were not very upturned, pulled down a small arc again, and even the faint light in his eyes was forcibly withdrawn by him.

"No... I won't reason." Ayatsuji pedestrian said with a blank face.

The other party's mood was visibly worse, and Fitzgerald, who didn't want to make fun of himself, shrugged and stopped talking about it.

Instead, Zhong Li glanced at the blond young man holding the doll and said, "This time, I can give you what you need, just take it as a reward."

Pedestrian Ayatsuji tidyed up the dolls for a while, "Thank you very much, Mr. Zhongli."

His stern face finally eased a lot.

Zhongyuan Zhong also secretly poked Osamu Dazai, who was sucking the juice from the water bar, "What did Mr. promise him?"

"Wow, didn't you notice it?"

Dazai Osamu exaggeratedly covered his mouth and sighed in a low voice, only when he raised his fist threateningly in Zhongyuan, he continued: "Nakaya tried to recall, when Mr. Ayatsuji first saw Mr. Zhongli, where did his eyes fall? ?"

drop point?

Zhongyuan Zhong also frowned and thought. At that time, with the position and angle of Aya Tsuji pedestrians, and the habit of ordinary people looking at strangers, the first thing must be above the neck. And at that time, if he remembered correctly, the other party's eyes were actually slightly deflected...

"It's earrings!" Zhongyuan Zhongyao's eyes lit up.

"That's right, earrings." Osamu Dazai nodded, "So for Mr. Ayatsuji, is there anything worth paying attention to about Mr. Zhongli's earrings?"

Zhongyuan Zhong has also seen his husband's earrings up close. The workmanship is elegant and simple and generous. If he is knowledgeable, he will be full of praise for it, but Zhong Yuan Zhong also instinctively thinks that Ayatsuji pedestrians are not people who would care about these.

He secretly glanced at Ayatsuji pedestrian sitting on the sofa, and suddenly noticed the doll in his arms.

Zhongyuan Zhong also suddenly paused, "He likes the jade on Mr.'s earrings? Do you want to use that to decorate the doll?"

"Oh, Nakaya finally figured it out!" Osamu Dazai applauded, "Nakaya is amazing~"

"...Don't think that I can't see that you are mocking me." Zhongyuan Zhong also gave him a blank look and looked at the screen angrily, "Huh? Where's the mess?"

"Ah, that ah..."

"I'm back!"

The door of the box was pushed open at this moment, and Edogawa Ranbu jumped in with great energy, "You can't do this, Mr. Fitzgerald, I just need to look at it and solve it all!"

Edgar Allan Poe, who followed closely behind, staggered in and murmured in disbelief: "My generation is actually 28 seconds slower, why is this happening..."

"Oh, after all, it's the preliminary round." Fitzgerald, who didn't care, smiled and waved his hand. "If it's not easy, some people really won't be able to pass. Always give them a chance."

"No matter how many chances are given, they are not as good as me." Edogawa Ranpo said as a matter of course, but there was not much arrogance in his tone.

Because he knew it was the truth.

Edgar Allan Poe, who was in a trance, finally regained his senses. He hugged Carl the raccoon and said softly and firmly: "This time I was careless, and there is still the second half. I will never lose to you this time..."

"Mr. Zhongli, I'm the first to come out of the arena!"

Edogawa, who was not listening at all, jumped up to Zhongli and raised his chest to ask for praise.

"Ugh..."

Zhong Li did not hesitate to praise the young detective's excellence, "Excellent, chaotic steps. Where is the next location?"

Edogawa Ranpo showed the note in his hand.

Below the original garbled code, the deciphered location was neatly written down by the young detective.

"amusement park."
