Chapter 17: The Whereabouts of the Flower of Heaven

After returning to the safe house, the three of them sat down in the living room around a coffee table with an LCD screen on the desktop, and Liu Ye opened the storage box.

"Well, a water glass, clothes, and an alarm clock...... Alas, sure enough, have all the research materials been recycled by the company?" Liu Ye squatted on the ground and took things out of the box one by one, "Even the computers distributed by the company have been taken away." ”

Shi Lan slipped quietly behind him, reached out and picked up a magazine hidden at the bottom of the box, and pretended to be surprised and said, "Eh? What is this? Summer Limited--Eh~ So you have this kind of habitβ€”β€”"

"Hey, hey, hey, give it back to me. Liu Ye snatched back the magazine and put it back at the bottom of the box, "Don't mess with my things, and children, don't read these." ”

"Don't make a fuss. Smith patted the table lightly, "Liu Ye, is there anything special in the box?"

"One more of this. Liu Ye threw a USB flash drive to Smith, "But my computer was taken away by the company and can't be opened for the time being." ”

"Can you open it?" Smith tossed his hand, and the USB flash drive was in Shilan's hand.

"Well, I'm afraid not, there's a password. Zeng Chen is still good at these things. Shi Lan put the USB flash drive on the table, and a blue pop-up window popped up, "I'll ask them." ”

With that, Shi Lan walked to the back room and looked at the person who had gone to contact Century Dawn.

"Anyway," Liu Ye turned his head to Smith, "Don't magicians don't like technology, why would Song Liuyun leave a message in this way?"

"As I said, she's not an ordinary person. Smith shook his head slightly, "Being able to do research and development with you for so long is enough to prove that she knows a lot about technology, and it is not surprising that she will leave you information in this way." Moreover, not all magicians hate technology. ”

"Not all?" Liu Ye was a little surprised.

"Well, quite a few magicians are not averse to technology, and most magicians, although they don't like it, use modern technology as well. Smith paused, took out a mobile phone from his arms, and shook it in front of Liu Ye's eyes, "There is also a very interesting phenomenon, the high-level of the wizarding world are very interested in technology. ”

"High-level?" Liu Ye thought back to Yan Heling's library, as if he didn't use any technological products.

"Chairman Watson is like that, although with his strength, there is almost nothing that cannot be done, but he still does a lot of research. Smith put away his phone, "In the past, magicians thought that science was the wrong way to understand the world, but in the last thirty years, the attitudes of top magicians have changed subtly. ”

"What subtle changes?" Liu Ye asked.

However, Smith didn't say anything more, but walked to the balcony and quietly looked out the window, as if he was unwilling to continue the topic, Liu Ye had no choice but to continue counting the contents of the box.

"Strange, the key is missing?"

"What's missing?" Smith asked, looking back at him.

Liu Ye scratched his head and said, "The key, the key to Chen Siyun's house." ”

"Chen Siyun?" Smith frowned, "Who is it?"

"It's the one who was with me the day you came to me. Liu Ye made a few blind gestures in the air, "He disappeared in that truck attack and his whereabouts are still unknown." ”

"Oh, I have an impression. Smith nodded thoughtfully, "It seems that he has not only become a target of the scientific community, but also a mage." ”

"Magician, you mean Song Liuyun? No, they haven't met. Liu Ye didn't believe it, "And Chen Siyun is not of much value to a magician." ”

"That's hard to say. Smith smiled slightly, "Didn't you think so before? Another thing, if your employee account can continue to be used, it means that you haven't been fired at all, right? Then why are there so many of your things here? Don't you think it's strange?"

Liu Ye was stunned, Smith was right, there was a high probability that he was not fired from the company. There must be someone who is maintaining the illusion that he is still working, and only Song Liuyun can do this. And this box of sundries in front of me...... Since they were not fired, these things that were originally in the safe lost their reason to be cleaned up by the company.

"So, these are all selected by Song Liuyun. Smith held out a finger and shook it, "She's got what she wants." ”

"Is the key to Chen Siyun's house......" Liu Ye muttered to himself, he was getting more and more confused now, he was originally just by himself, but he didn't expect that now even Chen Siyun has an entanglement with the magician, could it be said that there is some kind of connection between the people who attacked Britain and the people behind Song Liuyun?

London, Italy, Watson, Yan Heling, Song Liuyun...... And the guy in the mask who gave him the empty envelope, what the hell are they planning?

"Ah-" Liu Ye rubbed his hair in pain, "There is too little information to reason about it-Brother Smith, do you know how to track it?Can you help me find out Chen Siyun's whereabouts?"

"No, no. Smith simply rejected him, "The tracking technique is quite complicated, it is a very remote magic, there are not many people who can do it, and we must use magic as little as possible in Boyun City, this is explained by the chairman of the board of directors himself, presumably Mu Shilan's side, Director Yan also specifically mentioned it." ”

"Afraid of revealing our identities, but don't we have a perceptual isolation technique?" Liu Ye was a little puzzled.

"I don't know why. Smith shook his head, in fact, he had his own guesses about this matter, but he had no evidence, and he didn't want to tell Liu Ye about them now.

"I'm back. Shi Lan walked into the living room, "Liu Ye, I have good news for you, the European side has finally confirmed your innocence, and now you are not a suspect in the attack on St. Paul's Church and the Altar of Julius!"

"Huh-" Listening to Shi Lan's words, Liu Ye breathed a sigh of relief, the big stone hanging in his heart finally landed, but he suddenly realized that something was wrong, "Eh, wait, then you ...... Are you leaving?"

"No, no, what are you thinking? Grandpa said, you have learned so much magic in Century Dawn, and you are already a member of Century Dawn, so your business is the business of all of us, and then we will help you track down the case of Chen Siyun's disappearance, and as for the attack, I will leave it to the Europeans to investigate by themselves." As she spoke, Shi Lan glanced at Smith, who was sitting motionless, "Soon Sister Tang Yin and they will all come over, I believe they will be able to find him soon." ”

"What about the USB flash drive?" asked Liu Ye.

"It's still analyzing, the encryption method is very complicated, Zeng Chen said a lot, I didn't understand much...... But it will take at least two or three hours, but they are already on their way, and it is estimated that they will be able to solve it by this point. ”

"Wait patiently, I have a hunch that there will be something we need. Smith slowly closed his eyes.

"Hey, aren't you going back to London?" asked Shilan,

Smith didn't answer.

Liu Ye glanced at Shi Lan, shook his head, and motioned for her not to ask again.

After making a grimace, Shilan also sat down quietly cross-legged, and the three of them fell silent.

Three hours later.

"Smack. The door of the safe house opened, and Tang Yin, who was wearing a purple dress, yawned and walked in, followed by Ouyang Gu and Fourier, while Zeng Chen walked at the end with a computer in his hands sweating profusely.

"Sister Tang Yin!" Shi Lan jumped over and grabbed Tang Yin's arm, "We've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

"Hello, long time no see!" Ouyang Gu happily greeted Liu Ye and them.

"Why do you look like you're here for a tour, I haven't seen you for a long time, obviously we only set off in the morning......" Liu Ye was still sitting cross-legged on the ground, with a translucent storage box beside him, "Inexplicably, I became a member of Century Dawn, and I always had the feeling of getting on a thief ship." ”

"Hehe, didn't I tell you a long time ago, we are 'partners'!" Ouyang Gu smiled and gently punched Liu Ye in his chest.

"How is it, has the USB flash drive been unlocked?" asked Liu Ye.

"Not yet," Zeng Chen said, putting the computer on the table, "In addition to the traditional SHA1 algorithm, the encryption method of this disk also introduces the permutation and combination of arrays, which cannot be solved at all unless it is a magician like me who is proficient in computers, which is very strange, because there are very, very few people like me." ”

Fourier stroked the blonde bangs on his forehead, and said lightly: "Since it was a message deliberately left by the other party, it means that she knows that you will definitely be able to untie it." ”

"In other words," Ouyang Gu grinned, "that Song Liuyun clearly knows that the magic organization around you is Century Dawn, and knows our existence, and understands the characteristics of each of us. ”

"Ha-yawn" Tang Yin sat on the sofa and stretched, and said lazily, "This time it's a little tricky." ”

"Unraveled!" Zeng Chen tapped the keyboard quickly, "Hmm, why is there only one picture?, wait, this, this is ......"

Zeng Chen's eyes widened, his hands trembling and pointing to the screen, a dark blue flower was slowly spinning.

"The silver-gray stems are born with pale golden angel patterns, and the pure white stamens in the dark blue petals are intertwined in the shape of a bird. Smith, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly spoke, "That's right, this is the Flower of Heaven." ”

"I didn't expect that the stolen magic weapon of the British Magic Association would appear here. Fourier's eyes lit with azure flames, "Now the two things are connected." ”

Liu Ye's face was gloomy, the last thing he wanted happened, he thought that Chen Siyun was just kidnapped by others to do scientific research, and his life was worry-free, but he didn't expect that he really had something to do with the magic world.

Shi Lan saw that he was depressed and gently tugged at his sleeve.

"I'm fine," Liu Ye smiled at Shi Lan, "So what are we going to do next?"
