"How's it going, do you see what's going on?"

The little worm, which had always been able to hold her breath, was also a little unable to stand up now, and she couldn't help but poke her head forward when she saw Professor Dean pinching the piece of paper and looking at it for a long time without speaking. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"I can't decipher what that means."

Professor Dean looked up and gave the worm a "heartbreaking" answer.

"What?"

Worm's heart sank to the bottom on the spot, and she and Turtledove took such a lot of effort to get to this military base, and rescued these people from the gun-wielding robot in charge of escorting, but finally found Professor Dean, but he said to himself, "I can't decipher what this word means", isn't it a joke?

"Are you Professor Dean or not," the worm's face turned frighteningly cold, "Professor Dean in Zhang Lei's mouth is an expert in symbols and philology, you said you can't decipher it, it shouldn't be an impostor to fool me, right?" ”

"What's that called, of course he's Professor Dean!"

The middle-aged man wanted to say more, but the silver-haired Professor Dean waved his hand at it slightly, then turned his head to look at the worm, and said:

"Do you know why I can't decipher it?"

The little insect was so angry that her eyes were about to glow red, if it weren't for the age of the other party, she probably would have thrown the two big-eared scrapers fiercely, and grabbed the other party's collar, and scolded angrily: "Aren't you an expert in philology?" How dare you ask me why? Isn't this a deliberate attempt to find fault? ”

But the little worm was not such a person after all, she inhaled deeply, exhaled, inhaled, and breathed, and repeated several cycles, which barely suppressed the anger in her heart, and asked:

"Why?"

"Because there are so few."

Professor Dean habitually raised his hand, only to remember that his glasses had long since been lost, and he squinted his eyes, which really looked like an "old pedant".

……

"What is this old guy talking about?"

The turtledove's temper was much more irritable than that of the little worm, and he listened to the turtledove beside him, and the little worm took a word to Professor Dean, and then he said that he didn't know him, and then said that "too little", isn't this nonsense, - if you don't know one, you can know two?

Therefore, Turtledove estimated that this old guy may not be Professor Dean, it is likely that he wants to deceive Zhang Lei from the worm, or even if he is really Professor Dean, he is probably a deceitful and famous, and he has no real talent and learning, so he will deceive and deceive honest people.

When they saw the turtledove coming over with his arms dangling, not only Professor Dean, but also many people next to him couldn't help but be terrified, they had just seen with their own eyes how the turtledove fought those gun-wielding robots like a beast, and that strength and speed were not at all what humans should have.

"Don't get excited! Listen to me! ”

Professor Dean is afraid of an unreasonable and reckless man like Turtledove, as the saying goes, "When a talent meets a soldier, it is not clear to be reasonable", although Professor Dean is not a talent, the strength of Turtledove is much stronger than any soldier.

"Say, I'll listen."

The turtledove crossed his arms and walked to this station, Professor Dean was too frightened to look at him, and after steadying his emotions, Professor Dean pointed to the word on the paper and said to the worm:

"This is actually a kind of encrypted text that is not very difficult to decipher, and I can see it at a glance."

"Then why do you say you can't crack it?"

Ikaruga clenched his fists so loudly that the last thing he liked was dishonest people.

"Because you only gave me one word," Professor Dean said, looking up at the turtledove's face, and hurriedly continued, "You'll have to give me a few more words before I can help you crack it!" ”

"Why?"

The worm pulled the turtledove aside, and it was useful for the turtledove to scare Professor Dean, but if he continued to scare him twice, the worm was afraid that Professor Dean would be scared of him and had a heart attack.

"There are many ways to encrypt text, one of which I call 'structural encryption', simply put, it is to process a batch of text in a specific order and steps, such as adding horizontal or vertical lines on the basis of the original text, of course, it can also be diagonal lines and other various strokes, in this case, the more samples obtained, the lower the difficulty of deciphering will become, if there is only one word, then I will never be able to crack it."

"I see."

The little worm's brain spun very fast, and she immediately understood what Professor Dean meant by this, regardless of the ignorant turtledove next to her, the little worm quietly leaned into Professor Dean's ear and said:

"There are other samples as well, but this matter is to be kept secret and not let anyone else know."

The rescued people were still standing in place, and Professor Dean had been pulled aside by the worms, leaving the turtledove there to repeat Professor Dean's words, but they still didn't know what to say.

"I don't know a word, why do I know more than that?" -- The turtledove "tsk" twice.

……

"Okay, can you please help me see what is written on this map, especially these ones, which are marked in red."

Seeing that there was no one around, the worm took out the map that Roger had left in Wild Dog Town, unfolded it, and looked at Professor Dean with eager eyes, how she wished Professor Dean would give an affirmative answer.

"With so many samples, there's nothing wrong with interpreting them."

Professor Dean habitually helped the non-existent glasses again, he squatted on the ground and lowered his head, quickly glanced at the map, and already had a general idea in his mind, and not long after, Professor Dean raised his eyes and said to the worm:

"Almost."

"That's great!"

Worm was so excited that she almost burst into tears, and she couldn't wait to ask Professor Dean about the words on the map.

"Where did you get this map?"

Professor Dean was so surprised that he reached for the bridge of his nose for the fourth time.

"What's wrong?"

The worm asked, puzzled.

"This map is a city, a very unusual city."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because it's a legendary city."

Professor Dean tells Worm that he has been immersed in all kinds of books over the years, especially those related to myths and legends, and that although the things in these books are ethereal and illusory, if you patiently peel away the exaggerated parts of them, you can often get a glimpse of some truth.

For example, this legendary city represents a "destructive force". (To be continued.) )
