Survivorship Bias

    "I haven't heard such a sarcastic joke in a long time."

    Yang Erci stared at the "businessman" on the screen with a smile, "I bought baby girls at high prices, not because I like girls, but because I don't like children born in artificial wombs, and I want the natural beauty of women. Uterus."

    I don't know if it was because of this video or something else, Zhong Yirou felt a strong chill, as if she was thrown into an ice well, no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't arouse any heat. Her hands were almost stiff, and it was difficult to move her fingertips.

    In the video, the man with the big belly slides his hands flexibly, introducing these "hot potatoes" diligently to this rare guest.

    [Needless to say. ] In the video, Josh, the voice of D03, reappears.

    [I want all of these children, I will pick them up early tomorrow morning, please take care of them tonight. ]

      You know, those rich **** only like children who grow up in human tummies, those fake tummies and synthetic amniotic fluid, they look like specimens...]

    He is full of pride in the "products" he has exported, like a successful businessman in the industry chain, just temporarily succumbing to this dirty and cramped subscription studio.

    D03 didn't say anything, just silently paid the advance payment, agreed on the handover time, and left alone.

    This video also ends.

    There is only the last file left in the folder, which is an audio, the name is [(A02) Telephone recording 11090].

    Josh clicked to play directly, but An Wujiu was very concerned about this naming method, A02 was written in the brackets, I am afraid it refers to the phone recording object, what about 11090 in the back?

    If it is the serial number of the recording file…

    There are two voices in the audio, D03's voice is very clear, it has not been filtered and compressed by other media, it is obvious that he actively recorded it.

    [I've got it done, it's a wise choice for you not to come here, it's really scary here, as soon as you enter, it smells of baby excrement mixed with food, I don't know how children live in it , how much suffering you have to endure. When the time comes, it will be sent to us for more inspection. ]

    Sure enough, An Wujiu's own voice appeared on the opposite side, the caller was A02.

    [I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it when I see that, so please. ]

    [Why are you saying such a foreign thing, we are not best friends, just invite me for a drink then. You've been too busy to push me twice recently, and this time you can't push me any further. ]

    [No, I promise. ] In the recording, A02 spoke in a low voice, with a very gentle tone.

    [Well, I'll bring the wine that was given to me by A01 on my previous birthday later, and then let's meet at the circus on the second floor at X o'clock. ]

    An Wujiu frowned, this time was silenced.

    And a circus.

    Whether it is the children watching the circus performance tonight, or the agreement of the two employees.

    A02's tone carried some emotion, [I haven't watched the show for a long time, and I still miss it when I was young. We always sneak in to watch it when we were young. ]

    [Yes. But you are willing to drink the wine that A01 gave you. I thought you would keep it as a collection. ]

    A02 laughed softly.

    I can't say why, this voice is obviously my own, but An Wugui feels that the state is very strange, like this laugh, like a person after falling in love, too sweet.

    [He wouldn't tell me that wine is meant for people to drink. ]

    [Ok ok, this is what you asked me to drink. ]

    Wu You heard something wrong, turned his head and glanced at Shen Ti, his eyes fell on his front, and he sighed before speaking, "You are A01."

      lots of opinions."

    Wu You felt that she should change her name to Wu Huake.

    "The relationship between A01 and A02 doesn't seem to be normal." Nan Shan still smiled, but her speech slowed down a lot.

    Zhong Yirou wanted to laugh, but her neck hurt when she laughed, so she held it back.

    In the recording, A02 and D03 talked about the drug, most of which appeared in the previous video.

    At a certain moment, An Wujiu realized that this game is not as simple as he imagined.

    If it is just a simple escape game, it is nothing more than a confined space with puzzles and distractions that prevent escape.

    But these videos and phone calls seem to reveal to them some kind of plot, some stories about this shelter, and even the roles played by several of them.

    A01 and A02 have some kind of close relationship, and A02 and D03 are close friends.

    And the others.

    While thinking about it, he suddenly felt the sound from outside gradually disappearing, so he took two steps towards the door, then walked back and stood beside Shen Ti, a very close distance .

    It seems that he is afraid of disturbing other people listening to the recording, so An Wu Jiu did not say anything, just put his hand on Shen Ti's back, almost only his fingertips touched it, like a A dragonfly that doesn't want to fly straight away after ordering water.

    Shen Ti folded his arms around his chest and glanced at him, but there was a slight joy in his heart because of An Wujiu's actions, but he didn't know the reason.

    He raised his eyebrows at An Wujiu and said [what's the matter].

    In his eyes, An Wu Jiu is a strange person, beautiful but not gorgeous, with a contradictory beauty that is both fragile and tough.

    With a face like this, you may be able to eat very well with the coloration, even if it is stupid, there will be people who are willing to flatter, those guys who call themselves strong just like to be in control and good Skinny idiot.

    An Wugui is smart and stubborn.

    Seeing Shen Ti's response, An Wujiu quickly put down his hand, his voice was very low, "The rainbow herbicide sprayed over there may have stopped." The angle of his face is slightly raised. The posture is soft, but it only appears.

      But precisely because it was An Wujiu, his head and that stubborn kindness made this face so pretty, it couldn't be tacky, different from all the people Shen Ti met.

    So he looks extremely cute when he occasionally bows his head.

    Shen Ti understood what he meant, but pretended not to understand, lowered his head to An Wujiu's ear, deliberately chose a word that he would definitely not accept, "You want to command me."

    "No." An Wujiu denied it seriously, his eyes bright, "I want you to stare at me, the rainbow jar may come out in a while, I always feel that the words printed on it It's a clue."

    Shen Ti smiled in his ear, then straightened up quickly, "What about you?"

    An Wujiu pointed at the screen, "The recording is a bit strange, I have to listen to it."

    Shen Ti didn't say much, compromised very quickly, made an ok gesture very casually, wrapped his arms around Wu You's neck, wrapped around his neck and left.

    "What are you doing!"

    "Come with me over there."

    "Go yourself!"

    "People are afraid~"

    The voices of the two gradually drifted away, and An Wu Jiu turned around and walked back to the screen.

    The laugh just now has passed, but his ears felt a little itchy.

    However, this feeling only lasted for a moment, An Wujiu immersed his heart in the recorded dialogue again, these audios must have very important information.

    In the conversation, after talking about the abortion pill, their topic returned to the circus appointment again.

    D03 asked: [When do you get off work? I am looking for you. ]

    On the other end of the phone, the sound environment of A02 became a little noisy, and it seemed that someone was calling him.

    [Let's see you at the circus on the second floor at X o'clock in the evening, two hours later. E06 came up to find me, I went first, she recently broke up, and she doesn't seem to be in a good mood. ]

    The time he said was silenced again.

    [Okay, just push for two hours, only you can comfort her, I can't do this job. I'm on my way, see you at nine! ]

    With a beep, the audio ends.

    "E06 is Miss Zhong." Nanshan said slowly, "I feel that the relationship between the employees here is very good, and it doesn't look like someone who works in a place with bad feng shui. ."

    What An Wugui captures from the last sentence.

    The expression "the relationship is very good" is inaccurate. It should be that A01, D03 and E06 appearing in the current dialogue have a very good relationship with A02.

    From several video recordings and audio information, it is not difficult to find that A02 is a kind and honest person, and he is a clue to other characters.

    After the audio ended, nothing else popped up on the screen, and everyone thought it was over.

    Unexpectedly, in the next second, an electronic card-like message popped up.

    After clicking, there is a text like this:

    [Dear D03, A02 invites you to watch the circus performance today!

    Remember that the times are:

    MLCRFPCC

    RUMXCPM

    Don't be late! ]

    Then a line of red text appeared below the text—

    Fill in the correct time to receive an electronic invitation card.

    ___:___

    It turns out that because of this, the time mentioned in the recording will be silenced.

    "What is this, like a string of garbled characters." Josh frowned, "Is it a number representing time?"

    Yang Erci glanced at it and concluded that it was some kind of password, "I guess it is, these two strings of characters should be ciphertext obtained by some encryption method, converting the numbers into letters."

    "Then...can you process the muted file just now, and get the result?"

    Josh's suggestion Yang Erci did not accept, she shook her head, "Given the ciphertext, and then recovering the audio is brute force cracking. Besides, we don't have a tool to recover audio files. "

    An Wujiu didn't say anything, the initial guess about Yang Erci's identity seems to be a little more conclusive now. Behaviors can be concealed, but people's way of thinking and knowledge reserves are easily exposed.

    Faced with such a ciphertext, Yang Erci used many classical cipher solutions, but found that they were not quite right, "...If letters and numbers correspond, it is generally in the order of the alphabet, but if That's it... it's 131231861633, the next line is 2331613182113..."

    Because there is no pen here, she can only calculate the results of each cracking method in her mind, just so quickly match these letters to the serial numbers on the alphabet, and then arrange them orally Come out, enough to see her ability.

    But after getting the numbers, Yang Erci had some doubts and said to himself, "And then decipher the sequence of numbers? Is it too difficult..."

    What she said Josh could only express that he did not understand, he tried to comfort, "Don't worry, you will definitely find out."

    An Wujiu stood quietly at the back, he did not calculate, just repeated the words in the recording just now in his mind.

    Zhong Yirou was weak, felt very tired, and had a sore throat, so she had to drag the previous chair over to sit, and put forward an idea in a weak voice, "Could it be a block encryption password, try it? The two sets of numbers correspond, if that doesn't work, you can try to shift..."

    "Your face is too bad." No matter how she looked at it, Yang Erci felt that something was wrong, but now she couldn't care, so she took off her white coat and wrapped it around the chair on the chair. Zhong Yirou. Then go back and continue to decipher, "It seems that grouping is not very feasible."

    This kind of password is not something Nan Shan is good at, and his current condition is not very good. He is worried that it is a problem with his central nervous system, so he proposes to go to the Rainbow Corridor to find Shen Ti and Wu You.

    Then left.

    "No, not grouping." After repeated calculations, Yang Erci confirmed that this method is not feasible.

    What is that? Is it really the result of nesting multiple layers of encryption?

    "Is it complicated?"

    An Wu Jiu's calm voice appeared behind her.

    Yang Erci turned her head and looked at An Wujiu's face, he was different from the people he met before, he was smart but not aggressive, and the way he gave his opinions was gentle and gentle.

    "Have you figured out a solution?"

    "Indeed, letters and numbers correspond, maybe the first reaction is to replace numbers with letters, A is 1, B is 2, C is 3, this is the most intuitive number replacement." An Wu Jiu's tone was very light, "I thought about it like this at first, but just now when Yirou said about the shift, I wondered if it might be that we thought too far."

    "Shift?" Yang Erci felt that it was not feasible, "How much? Blind test in alphabetical order?"

    An Wujiu shook his head lightly, "Do you remember? In the recording of the call between D03 and A02, some content appeared several times - 'tweeted twice', 'tweeted for two hours' , 'Push for two hours, just push for two hours'."

    Yang Erci suddenly thought, "You mean, this is implying that we push back twice?"

    An Wujiu stared at the cipher text on the screen, trying to push each number back in his mind, then he looked around and found the medicine jar that Yang Erci had just opened , took out an orange pill from it and showed it to Josh.

    "The first line of the ciphertext is MLCRFPCC...M pushes back two in order to get O, L pushes back two to get N, and C goes back two, which is E..."

    Speaking, he wrote this line of letters on the wall, and did not divide it into two lines according to the format of the title.

    It's ONETHREE: TWOZERO

    After writing, An Wujiu found a place in the middle of the string and drew two vertical bars.

    ONE|THREE: TWO|ZERO

    "Ah, 13:20!" Josh was pleasantly surprised when he found the correct answer.

    "No." Yang Erci shook her head, "This is not night."

    "Yeah." An Wujiu nodded, "because not only the position of the letters, but also the numbers. The letters need to be pushed back twice to get the word with numbers, then the numbers also need to be pushed back. twice."

    All numbers are circularly pushed back two squares, originally in the first square 1 is pushed to the third square, 3 is pushed to the fourth square, 2 is pushed twice to the first square, and 0 is pushed to the first square. to the second grid.

    An Wujiu did not continue to write the answer, but directly announced, "20:13, this should be the answer."

    "So it is." Josh immediately entered the four numbers in the final order.

    The screen displays the results.

    [The answer is correct, congratulations on successfully connecting to the little password of A02. Please reach out and accept this invitation card. ]

    Soon, several blue laser beams appeared, burning a square shape in Josh's palm.

    "This is the invitation card?"

    He raised his hand and looked at it, and found that this square was not one, but many identical squares that overlapped but did not completely overlap.

    The last prompt appears on the screen.

    [Please find the rainbow key and make an appointment on time. ]

    According to the progress of the game, the mission of the double perfect angel seems to be over.

    "The rainbow key should be the task of the half of the corridor. After getting it, it is estimated that the door of the circus can be opened." In order to save time, Yang Erci suggested to solve the puzzle of the rainbow baby as soon as possible, Zhong Yirou He also got up from the chair, seeing that she seemed very weak, An Wu Jiu wanted to carry her, but was stopped by Yang Erci.

    "I'll come." She knelt down with her back to Zhong Yirou, "Come up."

    "Heavy."

    "Fine."

    Everyone else left the room, An Wu Jiu finally turned his head and took a look.

    The birth of children depends on these adults, but their lives are also ruined by these people.

    This is just the world in the game. In reality, the truly abandoned angels are not "perfect" two sets of organs, nor are they double.

    Just a girl, nothing more.

    When she passed the mural, Zhong Yirou saw the child behind the tree again in a trance. Although she couldn't see the child's appearance and clothes, she seemed to hear the childish laughter.

    When they walked along the Angel's Corridor until they were about to reach the place where they first entered the second floor, the Rainbow Corridor was not sprayed with medicine, An Wujiu saw Shen Ti's back.

    "Shen Ti."

    Hearing the sound, Shen Ti turned his head. Two people standing in different areas found at the same time that in an instant, at the junction of the Rainbow Promenade and the Angel Promenade, where there was originally a complete wall, a colorful door appeared.

    The word circus was written on it.

    At the same time, two lines of timing appeared in their normal field of vision.

    The first line is the current time, displayed as: 07:55

    The second line is a countdown, which keeps changing, with about 64 hours remaining.

    The author has something to say:

    The encryption method is the Caesar cipher, but the latter number is moved again
