25 carp
Nightfall stared at the crystal ball on the table, and began to recite a long list of incantations that others did not understand.
Then he paused for a while, took Chen Ziheng's hand with one hand, and Lin Yi's hand with the other, and let the two of them hold hands together.
"Now, you need to listen to your inner voice. β
Lin Yi noticed that her hand seemed to have been moved to the other hand, and she felt that the joints of this hand were slightly distinct, wide, warm and dry.
When Chen Ziheng took Lin Yi's hand, there was a slight electric shock feeling between his fingers.
Nightfall looked at the two holding hands on the table with their eyes closed, then shifted his gaze to the crystal ball, and began to make various gestures to the crystal ball, and kept chanting incantations in his mouth that people couldn't understand.
"Now, you have to be careful to answer my question, and if the answer is wrong, the crystal ball will not tell you the answer. Nightfall said in a deep voice.
"How do you feel at the moment? β
"It was warm. Both replied at the same time.
Nightfall smiled with satisfaction, glanced at the crystal ball, and finally looked at the two of themβ"Now, you can open your eyes." Nightfall said.
Chen Ziheng and Lin Yi opened their eyes at the same time and saw that their hands were holding each other's hands.
"Wow-" Lin Yi was so frightened that he quickly pulled his hand away.
Chen Ziheng also took his hand back.
Lin Yi asked Nightfall: "Miss Night, may I ask what the result is, is there any clue to the ultimate prize?"
Nightfall said, "The answer has come out, and it is in your hearts." Then she got up from the table and went back to lie down on the blue felt.
"What. Coming out of the divination house, Lin Yi was a little dissatisfied, even if he was eaten tofu, he was teased by a witch, and in the end, the bamboo basket was empty.
"I think it's better for us to be on our own, and maybe the answer is in the video we recorded. Chen Ziheng said.
The two of them found a wooden bench in a corner of Flying City Park and sat down, and began to study the video they had recorded last night - they barely missed every element that appeared in the video.
Circles, triangles, squares, ovals, waves......
The video was played again from beginning to end, and still nothing was found.
"There are so many elements that there are at least hundreds of possibilities to rearrange and combine them, and we have to find other breakthroughs. Chen Ziheng said.
"The magician says everyone can create magic, including you β so could it be something I drew it?" Lin Yi said.
"Dolphins?"
"But there's no aquarium in Flying City. Lin Yi said.
"After that, he turned the dolphin into a carp, could it have something to do with the carp?"
"Possibly. β
"Where can I find carp...... I remember that there was a small reservoir next to the small bridge and flowing water, which was set up for fishing and picnic lovers. β
"Let's go, let's go and see, maybe we can find any clues. β
The person who takes care of the reservoir is an old middle-aged man in his forties, because the people who often come to fish are leisurely middle-aged and elderly people, so arranging a caretaker who can fish in his forties in the reservoir will have a common language with other people who come to fish.
"Hello uncle. Lin Yi politely greeted the staff who were guarding the reservoir.
The staff was a little surprised to see that it was two young people, after all, there are very few young people coming to this reservoir, and even if they occasionally meet a few young people, they come with the big family party.
"You two...... Are you going fishing?" asked the staff who was guarding the reservoir.
"Uncle, we want to ask you something. Lin Yi asked, and Chen Ziheng also nodded.
"What's the matter?" said the staff who were guarding the reservoir were a little surprised, could it be for thatββ?
"About the ultimate jackpot. Lin Yi explained.
"Hahahaha...... Young man, I didn't expect you to really ask this question, you must have taken a lot of time to get to my level, right?" the staff teased.
"It took about two days. Lin Yi said.
"It's only been two days since you found me, congratulations!
"Really?" Lin Yi was a little incredulous, "Then, uncle, can you tell us the clues about the ultimate prize?"
"I'm not going to give you a problem like anyone else, I can tell you where the clues to the ultimate prize are, but it depends on your luckβ" said the staff member who manages the reservoir sincerely.
"Where's the clue?"
"It's in the fishpond, in the belly of a certain carp. β
"Huh?" Lin Yi was stunned.
"That's right. This means that you need to fish out the carp and open your belly one by one to verify that the carp you are catching is not the one with the clue. The staff who manage the reservoir explained.
Chen Ziheng took out the black Supreme VIP card and said, "We need two fishing rods and some bait." β
"Okay. The staff then took out two fishing rods and a bucket of bait in the equipment room.
Lin Yi and Chen Ziheng each took a fishing rod about two or three meters long and walked to a corner of the reservoir, and finally the two sat on two stones by the water.
"Chen Ziheng, do you know how to fish?" Lin Yi was a little worried, she had never fished since she was a child, and this could give her a problem. And there are so many carp in this reservoir, how lucky you must be to catch the carp with a clue, either you are very lucky, or you need to try a lot of fish, which makes Lin Yi very devastated.
"I don't know how to fish, but I know how it works. β
"And then?" Lin Yi was curious about what Chen Ziheng would say next.
"Fishing is essentially about using a hook disguised as fish food to lure a fish into biting, and then using a buoy to show the fish bite. Chen Ziheng said, stretched out his right hand to pinch off a small piece of the bait in the barrel, put it on the hook, then stood up, handsomely threw the fishing rod, threw the hook into the reservoir, and the buoy floated.
After a while, the buoy began to jump on the water.
"When the buoy jumps, it means that the fish has taken the bait. Chen Ziheng explained, while pulling the fishing rod upward, turning the coil and starting to reel in the line.
A biting fish gradually surfaced.
"This one...... Is it a carp?" asked Chen Ziheng.
Lin Yi took out his mobile phone and began to look up the pictures of carp on the Internet, carefully comparing the fish he caught with the pictures of carp.
"This ...... It doesn't seem to be ......," Lin Yi said.
"Then we'll have to keep fishing, until we find a clue. Chen Ziheng said.
Even if Lin Yi didn't know how to fish, in order to save time and increase efficiency, he also learned from Chen Ziheng step by step and started fishing.
As time passed, the two kept getting hooks on their rods, but unfortunately, none of them were carp.
"How long are we going to fish? Lin Yi said.
"Meditation. Chen Ziheng said.
I don't know how long it took, but in the end, Lin Yi caught a fish, and when the fish surfaced, Lin Yi's eyes lit up - "Chen Ziheng, look! It's a carp!"
