The ground was damp, and he took a deep breath, his nasal passages invaded by a thick muddy smell. Li Weiyin was dizzy, sat on the ground, slowly closed his eyes, and seriously recalled his memory.

Time passes slowly.

It was five hours before the closed iron door opened again.

He was awakened by the sound of a key turning. What caught my eye was Instructor Wang, who had disappeared for a long time. On the wall behind him, the dim chandelier shone with sweat stains on his head.

"You can go. By the way, don't tell anyone about today. ”

Li Weiyin slowly stood up, passed past Instructor Wang, and turned around.

"Landscape Garden, is there a problem?"

"There is a problem." Instructor Wang was relieved when he said this:

"The one with the surname Lan...... A gardener's shovel was hidden in the bushes. I tried shoveling, and the ground was so soft that I dug a hole in two clicks, and I could easily get through the wall from underneath...... But I've already reported this to the mountain chief, and in two days someone will go to pour cement, and you won't be able to run away if you want to. ”

The crisis was resolved, Instructor Wang's expression looked relaxed, wiped his forehead, put one hand on his waist, and added:

"What's that...... That's right. If Lan Silin really left the other ciphers to others, I will come to you to decipher them when I find them, and the benefits are indispensable to yours, so don't even think about escaping, understand? ”

Li Weiyin nodded and left.

It was nearly half past eight, Calder had just finished and missed dinner time, Li Weiyin walked around the playground with a blank face, returned to the dormitory building, picked up a change of clothes and walked downstairs to the bathroom, there were already many people lined up.

After taking a shower and returning to the dormitory, several roommates have not yet returned, and it is free time from half past nine to ten o'clock. Li Weiyin was able to enjoy a moment of tranquility.

He lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and after five minutes to make sure that what he remembered was correct, he sat up again, pulled out a common notebook from the drawer, and after a little thought, wrote a new cipher on the paper.

SeTYII-.-.%

FiTY-FEIV.-*

ThTY-SNV-…！！

……

There are a total of five lines in the cipher. The corresponding is five words. But "Tin Man" has been locked in the box of the mountain chief's room by Instructor Wang.

Li Weiyin first wrote the word "find" under the first line of cipher, and then closed his eyes and frowned.

Half a minute later, he opened his eyes, picked up his pen, and wrote the word "to" on the second line of code.

The third line of cipher code corresponds to "back".

Fourth line: "Rebellion".

Fifth line: "Who".

Writing these five words, Li Weiyin breathed a sigh of relief, tore off the piece of paper, and looked carefully in the moonlight, and the eyebrows that had just been stretched out frowned slightly.

"Find the betrayer ......"

He read softly, and infinite doubts suddenly arose in his heart.

There is no doubt that these five words are the real answer to the string of codes left on the title page of "Tin Man".

The so-called "landscape garden has problems" is just a cover set by Li Weiyin.

He was good at observation, and he noticed the many management loopholes in Kanglong Academy early on, intentionally or unintentionally. He had several ways to get out of Kanglong Academy safely in his mind, and the hole in the loose soil in the southeast corner of the landscape garden was just one of them.

He took advantage of the weekly opportunity to take care of the landscape garden, and hid a small gardener's shovel in the bush early on to be prepared.

But he never chose to leave.

Because for Li Weiyin, he has no reason to leave.

The frog, who had been full of hope for the small starry sky above him, struggled to climb out of the bottom of the well, and was horrified to find that the well was surrounded by a huge game market...... Li Weiyin didn't think it was a romantic story.

All in all, in the end, he still couldn't restrain himself, as Lan Silin wished, to solve the first puzzle.

He had to admit that, whether it was intentional or not, Lan Silin really grasped the biggest weakness of his character.

He is Asperger's. Asperger's is very different from autism. People with this type of symptom tend to be able to exhibit stronger thinking skills than their peers, but due to the different ways of thinking, it is difficult for such people to have "normal communication" with normal people.

The biggest characteristic of Asperger's patients is that their behavior patterns are stereotyped, and their interests and hobbies are limited and special. To put it simply, it just doesn't chat.

So he deliberately suppressed his personality and became what others called "dumb".

But nature cannot be completely suppressed by acquired habits, and sometimes, the longer it is suppressed, the more likely it is to have side effects.

For Lee, the price of his long period of silence is his habit of spending a lot of time thinking on his own – and thus developing a curiosity and a desire to explore that far exceeds that of the general population.

Whether he wants to admit it or not, the riddle Lan Silin gave was the rain in the desert, the last cigarette in the smoker's pocket, and the temptation of the demon that he couldn't suppress with reason.

Although he had reminded himself countless times in his mind that there must be an unpredictable trap behind this letter, he was still deeply trapped in it, unable to help himself, and even in the process of running laps in the playground, he constantly pondered the answer to the "thing in the box".

According to the normal way of thinking, in order to successfully get "Tin Man" in your hands, you must go through the following stages:

1. Know what the "thing" is.

2. Know where it's stored.

3. Find the custodian of the item.

4. Find a way to get your hands on it.

These four links, layer by layer, are indispensable, and each line is further, and the difficulty will increase geometrically. Li Weiyin deduced many strategic plans in his heart, but finally fell into a dead end.

Then, he tried to reinvent everything he had in his head, starting from where he had started, and soon came up with a crazy idea.

Will be counted.

The inspiration for this strategy actually came from the prompt left by Lan Silin in the letter:

The riddle is the answer.

For the first puzzle, the puzzle is undoubtedly "something in the box".

And when Li Weiyin deleted a series of complicated considerations such as "what is the thing", "where is the box", "how to take out the thing", etc., it was like a new door opened in front of him.

This puzzle gives too few clues. If you take it step by step, it can be said that it is extremely complicated.

And when he thinks backwards, he discovers an incredible thing:

What Lan Silin wanted to imply was that there could be many clues, but only this one was enough.

- Lee only needs to know that "the thing is in the box", and it is enough.

Because Lan Silin once took out that book, if the "thing" refers to "Tin Man", it means that he put "Tin Man" back.

If this is an established fact, then there is a high probability that he got the book by deception. Because in terms of the security level of Kanglong Academy, theft is basically not feasible.

If Lan Silin cheats, there will inevitably be "victims".

The first step of Li Weiyin's plan was to find the victim, Instructor Wang, through the ambiguous sentence "I know about the tin people".

Then, what he had to do was to plan for it.

took advantage of the "victim's" wariness of Lan Sirin to further spread panic, so as to make Instructor Wang believe that the code was indeed true, and he could take advantage of the situation to get the "Tin Man" as a decoder.

This whole plan only needs to use the clue "the thing is in the box". As long as you find the person who Lan Silin has deceived, you can design for him to take him to find the "location where the box is stored", or even "open the box".

It's like a game with complex mechanics and full of instant FLAGs, which may take a lot of time and effort according to the rules. But Lee's situation is different. Before him, someone had already cleared the game, and all he needed to do was use the account that unlocked all the levels to complete the operation of skipping the level directly.

But there are also drawbacks to this plan. His contact time with "Tin Man" is only a short 20 minutes.

What can you do in 20 minutes? You can watch an episode of a cartoon, drink a cup of coffee, do two sets of eye exercises, smoke four cigarettes, and make five bowls of noodles.

But reading a book, for the average person, twenty minutes is not even enough to read a third of a book.

Fortunately, the "Tin Man" is a fairy tale picture book based on pictures.

Fortunately, he is Li Weiyin.

To use the book as a decoding tool when you don't have it at hand, you have to memorize it word for word. But Li Weiyin's situation is even more severe, because the cipher set by Lan Silin is a character-split password, and the arrangement of the entire book will affect the number of pages.

In other words, Li Weiyin cannot simply memorize the words in the book, he must rely on image mnemonics to carefully remember the location of every page, every paragraph and every word in the book.

That's why, even if he is as smart as him, he has repeatedly relived his memories several times after leaving the mountain chief's room, confirming that there is no mistake.

He did it. He solves the first puzzle perfectly in a near-cheating, unimaginable way, and gets the clue to the second puzzle.

But this second clue is far more outrageous than he expected.

What exactly is a traitor?
