Chapter 171: Turning Decay into Legend (2)
At this moment, all over the city, there are large and small groups of people who are studying the puzzle that Carmon said, most of them want to catch Carmon and then ask for credit, and few like Snya and the others want to thank Carmon.
"Damn, I can't find it at all..."Kalifi was very frustrated, because according to the recent incident, from the Ripland Group to the Cult of the Gods, all the iconic buildings have been affected, down to the storage center, up to the Sizheng Building, no place has been spared, and it has been more or less regarded as a 'battlefield'.
"Could it be that we were wrong?" River's words were unmistakable, of course they were wrong, and if a puzzle could be analyzed by everyone on the surface, and its answer was not a puzzle.
"Talivi, have you thought of anything?" Snya and the others had no choice but to ask Tarivi.
"I was thinking... Could it be that the reason why your analysis did not find an answer is because the puzzle itself is seriously flawed?" Tarevi expressed his opinion, not saying that Snia's analysis was wrong, but because the puzzle itself was seriously problematic and led them into a misunderstanding.
"What's wrong with the puzzle?" Ammilo didn't know what was wrong with the puzzle, and it wasn't just Ammilo who had this question, but everyone else was equally confused.
"There are some words that are completely logically confusing. So I think... Actually, some text is missing in the middle. Tarevi's analysis is not unreasonable, and there are some hidden pitfalls in general puzzles, either text traps that lead to misunderstandings, or the puzzles themselves are not complete.
"Missing... It's possible, but what words are missing?" Snia agreed with Talivi, but the question of what exactly was missing was a serious question.
"Think about it...... Tarevi pinned everyone's hopes on him, he had to analyze it and find the complete puzzle, "According to normal logic, each word in this puzzle will only be missing 1 or 3 words, first analyze the last two words, 'Yimei'." If it is normal, as you said before, this is the meaning of 'still beautiful', then this sentence is missing the words 'old' and 'beautiful', and according to the same logic, the previous 'Yiwu' should also be missing two words. But based on this alone, it is still impossible to tell what is missing, but if the number of missing words in these two sentences is 2, then it is very likely that this puzzle is not five words. Since it is a puzzle that Lord Carmon came up with, it must have a certain logical relationship and a certain rhythm, so I guess... In the previous sentence, only two words are missing, and the order of the whole puzzle is '5454'. ”
Snia they all listened carefully to Tarevi's analysis, because as of now, this is the most likely outcome. "If, add two words to the front of 'people to heaven', and modify its logic... What will happen if the people live on food?"
"Then the logical relationship will change completely!" Sinya also suddenly had an epiphany, if the real puzzle was like this, then all the previous reasoning would be changed, and the point of this puzzle would no longer refer to a direct place.
If that's the case, then this might be a place where food is produced, restaurants. If this is the logic, then there is a good explanation for the later 'Yiwu', which may be 'Yiwu loves', which refers to Lord Carmon's love of food. Then the second half of the sentence can be interpreted as, the place where Lord Carmon frequents, so that the whole sentence means ......"
"The restaurant I frequent...", even Karifi understood that the answer to the puzzle given by Carmon was the restaurant that Carmon frequented. But there are hundreds of restaurants in the city, and only those who are familiar with Carmon know which one they are referring to.
"Lord Kamon's former residence is in the Samadhi district, so it's the restaurant in the Samadhi district, let's go find them separately. "Although Sinya's home is in the Samadhi area, after all, the restaurants are very far away, so if you want to effectively find the restaurants you know, then you can only spread out.
At this moment, not only Snia is looking for them, but there are many other people, and they have also analyzed the meaning of this puzzle, many people are looking for this 'Carmon's favorite restaurant', but some people do not know where Carmon used to live, or if there is a special restaurant that can make Carmon travel thousands of miles.
So, the restaurants in the whole city have become lively, and although most of the people are not going to the restaurant itself, there are also many people who believe that these restaurants are deliberately hiding the truth, so many people order some food, hoping that the restaurant will tell them the answer after dinner.
But Snia and they didn't think that they were still looking for each other, and soon Tarevi came to a restaurant called 'Pleasure Food', and he found a familiar person here, and this familiarity was not because of this person, Tarevi knew, but because this person was a baron.
"Lord Lothar, why are you here?" Although the person in front of him does not have a good reputation, he also has a title, Lothar.
"My brother has done such a big thing, of course I have to take part in it. I'd love to see my brother make a fool of himself. "Although Lothar is Carmon's eldest brother, he and Carmon are all the way, but Lothar also wants to find Carmon, for the simple reason that he wants to end it all himself.
At the beginning, it was because Carmon misunderstood his words that caused Carmon to embark on this road of no return, and Lothar felt that it was his responsibility to bring Carmon back to his senses, so he also joined this 'game', of course, his helpers were the eldest sons of the other three Zagoro families.
"It's great to see you here, but Lord Carmon is a regular customer of our shop, and we will do what he asks, after all, the customer is God. "The owner of the restaurant has come here, and this is indeed the place where Carmon set the test," Lord Carmon told us, and only those who have passed the trial can get this clue. ”
"What trial?" "There are three drinks here, one of which has 'snake venom' in it, which will not kill you, but it will make you feel painful. However, we have an antidote ready here... So, who will come first?"
Tarevi hesitated, but Lothar leaned back on the table and said calmly with a smile, "Give you a chance to overtake the progress, you first." ”
Tarevi looked at the three drinks in front of him, all of them were red, and because they were covered, they couldn't smell at all, Tarevi was very nervous, although it would not be fatal, but why did Carmon set up such a test, Tarevi still didn't know.
Many people entered the 'Enjoyment' restaurant, and the owner also told them the content of the trial, whether they drank poisonous drinks or not, they could continue the next test, but there were such tests in every place, and the difficulty and degree would become more and more difficult.
Many people are waiting for Talivi, and Tarevi is the 'first comer', and the others will naturally have to wait behind, but if they hesitate, the people behind are also qualified to 'experience' first. In order not to delay the team's retreat, Tarevi finally made up his mind, picked up the drink in the middle, opened the lid, and gradually raised his glass closer to himself, while Tarivi's hands were still shaking.
The others were also looking at Talivi, wondering what would happen to the other two drinks, because neither of them wanted to smoke the 'snake venom' drink.
Tarevi swallowed a mouthful of water, raised his glass and took a sip of the drink, then placed it on the table. Suddenly, Tarevi felt a little dizzy and felt like he was about to lose his footing, and immediately propped his hands on the table, and then quickly recovered.
"Congratulations, you didn't get that drink with snake venom. The restaurateur said with a smile on his face, and the others applauded Tarevi because he was the first to try it, which required a lot of pressure, but Tarevi did it anyway, "Now, please go to the back kitchen, where the person in charge will tell you what the next puzzle is." ”
"Is it my turn?" Tarevi greeted the applause and went to the back kitchen to get the clue, and then it was Lothar's turn, and the restaurant owner would naturally have to let Lothar try another drink that had been determined and was not poisonous, after all, they already knew which one was safe.
The owner of the restaurant asked the people in the back to prepare three drinks that were exactly the same as before, and the previous three glasses were handed over to the back kitchen for reordering, and after preparation, they were brought up again. "Start your choice, Lord Lothar. "What's there to be afraid of, come on. Lothar grabbed a drink and quickly opened it and drank it, while Tarevi stood in front of the back kitchen door and watched.
"Uh... Uh......" Suddenly, Lothar groaned in pain, then grabbed her throat with both hands, and staggered to the ground. Tarevi knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly ran over: "Lord Lothar, Lord Lothar, are you okay! Antidote, get the antidote!"
"Uh... Uh......" Lothar still groaned in pain, and her eyes rolled white, and the people in the back kitchen immediately ran into the back kitchen, ready to get the antidote, but soon, Lothar's eyes became normal again, and then Lothar's face was full of smiles, "Lie to you." ”
Of course, Lothar was not poisoned, he just thought it was very interesting, and the boss sighed secretly, signaling to the people in the back kitchen that the danger was removed and ready for the next test.
"It's really painful to fall like this. Lothar gradually stood up, and his 'acting' succeeded in fooling everyone, "However, now you give up your advantage." "Advantage or something, I can catch up later, anyway, the key to solving the puzzle is how quickly you get the answer." "Very well, then let's go to the back kitchen together and get the next clue." ”
