Chapter 174: Turning Decay into Legend (5)
"This is the puzzle?" "How's that, Tarevi, this should be easy, right?" "Don't look at the puzzle as if it's shorter, it's just that the puzzle gets simpler." ”
When Karifi told Tarevi about the puzzle, Tarevi was confused. Because this time the information given was too little.
"What's so hard about that? Isn't there a fire, and then everything is reduced to ashes, and everything is destroyed?" Kalifi also analyzed the content of the short seven words on the way, but this analysis was too hasty, not only Tarevi denied it, but even Sinia and Ammilo objected.
"Lord Carmon, it is impossible to set up a puzzle so simple. If this is the case, it will be too easy, and there will be no need to put such a big game in Sanchuan Bank. River was also skeptical, thinking that the third puzzle was too simple compared to the previous two, and it didn't look like Carmon's problem at all.
"But Kalifi's idea is good. "Because when you think of flames, the most conjured up is fire." ”
"No, there's another possibility, an explosion. "An explosion can also produce violent flames, and in an instant, it will burn everything and turn them to ashes. Moreover, once an explosion occurs, it is devastating. "There is also this possibility, and immediately investigate, there have been explosions in those places in recent months. ”
Ammilo finally came up with a useful clue, because what else could involve ash and destruction at the same time, but the Big Bang?
"All the newspapers from the past have been found!" "Okay, you newspaper one by one, I will mark one by one, remember, exclude those fake bombs and bombs that do not produce high-temperature explosions, only those that have been planted with real bombs and then taken to other places to detonate." ”
Old newspapers were flipped through the pages of news about the bombings, whether they were real or near explosions, or the detonation of magic bombs, or fake bombs that smoked.
And Kalifi read it, and Snya drew it on the map. There are a few places where explosions have occurred or bombs have been planted. Ripland Building, General Electricity Administration, three hospitals, a shopping mall near Merlin Avenue in Quinn District, and a bar near Sanchuan Avenue.
"We were able to go through all of these places and investigate them one by one, but if it was a mistake, it would have been in vain, so... Let's let Tarevi analyze it first. "The previous reasoning was Ammilo's assumption, not Talivi's speculation, so it may be wrong, and in order to avoid 'working in vain', Sinya still wants Tarevi to analyze it first.
"I think it's right, but I always feel like there's something wrong. Tarevi thought that Ammilo was right, but he had always had a strange feeling, "I always felt like I had heard about flames and ashes somewhere. ”
"Is this the case?' The city was reduced to ashes in the war, and the end of the war meant the rebuilding of the city's civilization." River found a newspaper with this passage written on it, and the word 'ashes' happened to be in it.
"If I'm not mistaken, it was reported after the evil genius Vicanlo was imprisoned? But at the time, it seemed like the explosion of a magic bomb was involved. (Snia)
"But it was Lord Carmon and the police who solved the case at that time, and the report at that time was ...... One step ahead, Hero Calambie...", River stopped talking halfway through, and when the others came to watch, they realized why River didn't continue.
Because of the above report, the latter is 'one step ahead of the stupid cops, and Tarivi, who leads the team, runs around with the police team like a headless fly. ’
"Talivi, don't worry. After all, Ammilo comforted Talivi, after all, it was about his brother's previous 'black history', and Tarevi relented, and then said, "I'm fine. ”
"At that time, the answer to the puzzle of hiding the bomb was 'Phoenix Nirvana', and the answer given by the police at that time was that the phoenix was reborn from the flames, which corresponded to the 'Sorrowful Road' and 'Huishen Road' in the city streets. After River said the real thing that was true to the rest of the report, Tarevi finally thought of something.
"That's right, it's the phoenix! The symbol of the phoenix is the flame, and when the life is burned out, the phoenix does not die, but turns to ashes and is reborn from the ashes. The meaning of this sentence is that let's look for an institution that has been reborn from the ashes, and the key to the clue is there. (Talivi)
"However, there are many such buildings. (Carifey)
"The last destruction... Maybe it doesn't mean destruction in the true sense of the word, it's not that something is destroyed, maybe... It is the destruction of the original corrupt system...... It's the Ripland Building!!" Suddenly, Tarifi said firmly, "There is actually a text trap in this puzzle, but this time the text trap is the problem of ordering, in fact, this 'destroyed' should be in front." Together, the old corrupt system was destroyed and the new one was reborn from the ashes, and the Ripland Building was the only institution that experienced an explosion, the upper echelons being wiped out, and then restored. ”
"Okay, let's go to the Ripland Mansion immediately, this time, five people go together, even if it is wrong, we can immediately analyze and adjust. Snya thinks that since there is only one destination this time, then it is better to act on all of them, except for accidents, if the analysis is found on the way back, then everyone can be immediately assigned to another place to conduct a second investigation.
Soon, they were under the Ripland Mansion, and the guard at the door immediately let them in. Although there are many floors in the Ripland Building, the group went straight to what was once the 'top floor' because this is the site of the explosion, and the explosion site is in Ruijin's office.
But here, the group saw two familiar faces, one of which was very unfriendly.
"Yo, you're the first to come. What should I praise you? You are the first batch every time. "Gukkomon!!" Snya and the others immediately went on alert, because they all knew the true face of Gukkomon, they all knew that he was a 'bad guy', and the other person here was also a former Cult of God.
"What, you five, you want to do something to me?Without the stimulation of the incense, the mana that was forcibly activated in your body has long been stopped, and you five mortals want to fight me?"
"The people of the Royal Legion are not allowed to join this competition, why are you here!!" Sinya said hoarsely, his hatred for the Cult of the Gods had not stopped.
"What makes you think that I'm from the Royal Legion? I've always been the leader of the Cult of God, and I don't have any direct relationship with the Royal Legion, so I'm not a violator. "However, the five of you, some of whom have sabotaged my plans, and some of whom have not reported it, should I... Execute you now, and avenge your 'personal vendetta'?" Gurkmonn was tempted to kill the five of Snya now, but the other man stopped him.
"You've gotten a loophole in the rules, but don't forget that there is no room for clashes during challenges, especially in the Trials Place. "There's not that in the rules. "Oh, that's what I'm going to do now. The other man finally turned around, and he was Cafidia.
"You're a traitor yourself, and maybe I should have dealt with you too. "You are a non-combatant ancient evil god, fight an assassin with me, do you think you have a chance of winning?" Cafidia is not afraid of Comonne, because Cafidia has information about Cocomonne in his hands, and he knows at a glance what tricks Cocomonne will use.
"You're all here to participate in the 'game', and the answer to the puzzle is in this office, so use your own case-solving skills. "Cafidia was also the one who received Carmon's invitation to join the event, and Cafidia was more than happy to 'play' in the city for a while to see what Carmon could do to turn things around.
"That chair..."Although the whole office was already very messy, Tarevi noticed a chair that was not in the right place, because there was only one desk in the office, and there was already a broken chair on the other side of the desk, and this chair was brand new, and it was placed by the window.
Then, Tarevi walked to the chair, then sat on the chair, looked at the beautiful scenery of the city outside the window, and couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that this is the feeling of Ruijin at that time, being able to look at the whole city from the highest point of the city... What is that?"
Suddenly, Tarevi noticed that something was wrong, he immediately stood up, and walked to the window, because the glass of the window over there had not been repaired, it was easy to fall directly, so Snya and they immediately ran over and tried to stop Talivi, but Tarevi stretched out his hand to stop them, signaling that he was fine, and the reason why he wanted to approach such a dangerous place by the window was because he found that there were some words patched together with red tape on the roof of the building complex in the southeast corner of the Quinn district not far away.
And this, in other places, is completely invisible, and just now Tarevi sat on the chair, he can't see at all, because of the height, he can only see one side, and he can only see it when he stands up, as for walking to the window, it is Talivi's own decision, because he wants to look more carefully, and this time the puzzle is posted on the top of his head, so the number of words has been reduced.
This time, there are only two words, falling.

As mentioned before, the windows in Ruijin's office are connected from the floor to the ceiling, and there is no wall on the side facing the canal, and after the accident, it was abandoned and unmaintained
