A week of peaceful life passed quickly.

That afternoon, Zhang Heng was flipping through a copy of "Photography Composition" in the library, and received a call from Shen Xixi.

"Is it convenient to talk now?"

"Wait a minute."

Zhang Heng got up, left the borrowing area, walked to the safe passage, and looked around, there were only a few freshmen who were discussing group homework in full swing, and no one even noticed when he walked over.

Zhang Heng then picked up his mobile phone and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"I think you said you could drive?"

"Hmm." Of course, Zhang Heng knew that what Shen Xixi said about being able to drive did not mean getting a driver's license, but having a certain level of driving skills.

"Can you please do me a favor?" Shen Xixi said, "You know the news on the forum during this time. ”

"Sorry, I haven't been on the forums much this week."

"Oh, in this case, you can take a look first, and then if you want to talk, you can come to the carving time in the food alley to find me."

"Okay."

Zhang Heng hung up the phone, opened the notebook, plugged in the USB flash drive that would not be tracked IP, logged in to the player forum, and browsed the hot posts in the city, in fact, he only needed to glance at it roughly, and he didn't need to deliberately look for it, he could already know what Shen Xixi was going to say.

The most interesting news on the forums right now is the Sphinx.

Unlike the Molesby and Zavelcha that Zhang Heng had met before, the Sphinx belonged to the kind of mythical species that they were familiar with.

Originally derived from Egyptian mythology, it is of course best known for its story in Greek mythology.

The Sphinx crouched on a cliff near the city of Thebais, intercepting passers-by and playing riddles, "What animal walks on four legs in the morning, two at noon, and three at night?" Those who can't answer will be swallowed by it, until one day Oedipus passes by and gives the answer to the riddle, and the Sphinx is ashamed and jumps off the cliff to his death.

Just like all Greek mythology, such a story is also full of the aura of wisdom reduction, not to mention why the Sphinx committed suicide by jumping off a cliff when the answer is guessed, the most important thing is that according to the descriptions of various versions, the Sphinx is a monster with a lion's torso and a woman's face and wings on its back, with that pair of wings, it doesn't look like it will fall to death if it jumps off the cliff.

The post about the suspected Sphinx haunt was first posted by a player named Goldbach Conjecture.

He said that he was a high school teacher, but one night when he was returning home from his evening self-study, a monster similar to a large hound suddenly appeared from the side of the road, and it looked exactly like in the myth and legend, standing by the garbage can, and what happened after that was similar to the myth.

The monster suddenly spoke and asked Goldbach to play a riddle game with it, and if it answered correctly, it would let Goldbach Guess go, and if it answered incorrectly, it would be punished.

Goldbach's conjecture suddenly became nervous, as a player, of course he knew that he had run into a supernatural event, and it was likely to be a fatal supernatural event, although the other party did not explicitly indicate that he would take his life, but as someone who knew the story of the Sphinx, of course he knew what would happen if he couldn't answer the riddle.

Goldbach guessed that he was scared half to death.

He lived in a relatively remote place, there were few pedestrians on the road at that time, and he himself was not a combat player, so he could only start listening to the questions, and fortunately the riddles of the Sphinx were as bad as the legend.

"The upper and lower limbs are hands, sometimes crawling and sometimes walking, walking a lot like a person, crawling a lot like a dog, hitting an animal, remember, you only have one minute, three chances." The animal that appeared to be a Sphinx said so.

Goldbach guessed that his mind went blank for a while because he was so nervous, but then he came back to his senses and quickly came up with the answer, "Monkey, it's a monkey, right?" ”

"Congratulations, you got it right." The Sphinx uttered this sentence in an emotionless voice like a Google lady, and then disappeared into the green belt as if it had never appeared.

Considering that the gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides is relatively large, Goldbach conjecture did not dare to ask why I answered the riddle, you did not jump off a cliff and die like in myths and legends, until the Sphinx left, he was like waking up from a big dream, because he was worried that he would lead this monster home, he did not dare to go in the direction of the community, went straight to the game point, stayed at the game point for a night, and then was almost misunderstood by his wife and daughter to have an affair, it is really bitter and can't say.

Then he sorted out his experience and posted it on the forum.

Because the whole process was too child's play, no one even believed it at first, and someone left a message below, is my brother from UC, and if there is no news, you have to create news? It wasn't until another victim appeared that this post was suddenly pushed up and became the most popular post in the forum now.

The second victim was not so lucky, he was walking the dog downstairs in the early morning, and when he walked to the carport where no one was there, suddenly the dog barked, and at the same time refused to go any further, although the player reacted quickly, but it was still as fast as the head that suddenly poked out of the bicycle shed.

"I'm not very old, I have a lot of beard, no matter how big or small, I can only call my mother and hit an animal." The thing said expressionlessly.

"What the hell?!" The second victim almost sat on the ground in fright.

"The answer is wrong, and there are two more chances."

"Is this one time?"

"The answer is wrong, and there is one more chance."

The second victim didn't dare to speak more at this time, and after a while he barely managed to hold back an answer, "Is it a cat?" ”

"The answer is incorrect."

With that, the sphinx-faced monster pounced on the second victim, and just as the latter thought he was going to hang up, the monster flicked its claws, scratched three blood marks on his arm, and then jumped onto the carport with Teddy's barking and disappeared over the wall.

The second victim immediately rushed to the hospital, did a check-up, and found nothing abnormal, and went home to rest after receiving a rabies vaccine, and is currently in good physical condition, a slight fever is just a normal reaction after vaccination, and will continue to go to the hospital to complete the remaining four injections.

There are a lot of complaints under his post.

- Big brother, the answer is that the sheep is so simple, can you answer it wrong? It also took three chances.

- When did the Sphinx talk so well, and if he made a mistake, he just scratched it and left.

- What about your dog, didn't he save you at a critical time?

- Friend upstairs, you pointed at Teddy to save you, and it pointed at you to save it.
