But with my calm complexion and indifferent eyes, the frivolous people around me gradually faded into silence.

Staring into Lin Sheng's eyes, I asked, "Can you start?" Seeing the pair of Danfeng's eyes flashing with cruelty, a sneer on the corner of his mouth twitched, and his gaze shifted, "Peter, it's time for you to appear." ”

I watched the figure slowly walk out of the crowd, a black first-class suit, a white shirt with a base, suit pants of the same color, and shiny black leather shoes, completely dressed as an elite.

There are some things that I expected when I walked in here, so at this moment I only had four words in my heart.

The moment their eyes met again, they only saw indifference in each other's eyes, as if we had never known each other before today.

Under Lin Sheng's high-five, everyone moved out of the way, and two piles of puzzle color pieces were scattered on a European-style white long wooden table. I stood with him at both ends of the long wooden table, and there was no pattern on the table.

Sure enough, Lin Sheng came over and stood beside him, grabbed his arm, and said softly: "For the graduate students of the Art Department of Q University, blind puzzles can show their true skills, right?" Always wish. ”

Xiaoting muttered intentionally or unintentionally: "It's just a graduate student at Q University, Peter is a returnee from Stanford in the United States." Lin Sheng laughed: "Don't say that, Peter and I have just returned to China, and we don't want to be too high-profile." After speaking, he turned his head and exchanged eyebrows with him beside him.

Someone pinched the watch and gave an order, and the game officially began.

Anyone who has ever played a puzzle knows that there are letters on the reverse side of each piece of the puzzle, and as long as you categorize the letters, the puzzle can be complete, but this is also a tedious project. It is necessary to sort out the same letters in a messy pile of color blocks, and then put various different shapes corresponding to the plates. This is a thousand-piece puzzle, and for ordinary people, it can take as little as three to five hours to complete it, and as much as a day or two.

So the rule is one hour, which is a huge challenge for puzzle people, even impossible tasks.

He is an expert at playing puzzles.

In fact, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have touched puzzles at all.

Knowing that he has his own set of special memory rules, he was admitted to Stanford in the United States with his super memory and high IQ at that time, and of course, there are also his "connections". At the very beginning, he quickly flipped all the color blocks to the side of the letters, and then stared at them intently and scanned them up and down. I know he's memorizing the order of the letters, and might save time sorting them and start the puzzle directly.

Compared with his memory, I lost steadily, so I didn't fight according to his method, but unhurriedly flipped the color block to the front.

There were a few eyes behind him that showed doubts, obviously puzzled by my opposite, and I don't know who sneered: "Little sister, why don't I help you change a pair of joyful puzzles for children to play." You just have to look at the front side against the original picture. As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter from the crowd, and Xiaoting said sarcastically: "Sister, she doesn't know how to play at all, and she doesn't even know how to play the most basic puzzles." ”

Halfway through, the other side also looked at me, and smiled meaningfully and confidently after seeing my chaotic approach. He must have thought that I was just dozing off the table full of puzzles like I used to.

Twenty minutes later, Peter started to put his hands on it, and at this time I was still in front of me, one piece east and one west, and there was no fixed shape at all. But at the moment he made his move, the speed of my hand suddenly increased. The noise and voices around me gradually isolated from my world, and my eyes were filled with various colors and shapes.

As the puzzle became more complete, the more excited my nerves became and the faster my hands moved. When I pressed the last color block, I sighed lightly, and it turned out to be Van Gogh's famous painting - Starry Night.

"How long?" I asked.

There was silence.

As if time stood still, the people around me kept their original movements in advance, motionless, staring at the puzzle I had finished on the table with an incredible eye, as if this puzzle had a kind of whirlpool magic at this time, and once people's eyes looked into it, they couldn't take it back.

Raising his eyes to meet the shocked and inexplicable eyes on the other side, his whole body seemed to freeze there, and the puzzle in his hand was only half completed, leaving the lower left corner vacant.

It seemed that a strong gaze came from the top of his head, but when he craned his neck, he saw only an empty attic hallway and a closed door. I felt a slight irritation in my heart, as if I had been in this delusion since I stepped into this private mansion, and I couldn't help but flash that dark shadow in my mind. As his gaze wandered, he stared at a certain place on the railing of the hallway, and had an epiphany.

There's something very hidden, small, but there's something there.

There were two clapping clappings on the right, and everyone turned their heads to see a man standing tall at the top of the stairs. The black shirt buttoned down under the suit pants, the short hair was not messy, there was no tie, the chin was slightly raised, and the eyes looked gentle.

If there was a word to describe this man, his aura was stronger than that of anyone present. The surroundings called one after another: "Brother Qin." But the man didn't pay attention, only raised his watch and looked at it, and then said, "Half an hour." I raised an eyebrow, deliberately slowing down at first, and the original scheduled time could be less than twenty minutes.

There are nearly 10 puzzles hanging on the wall of my apartment, many of which are thousands, and even the largest starry sky on the wall is 10,000 pieces. There are no letter hints behind these puzzles, and when Zhu Ke witnessed my puzzle process, he asked me in amazement: Wish, are you a monster?

And the reason why I put most of my energy into the puzzle is because of the two people on the other side of the long table.
