A long time ago, when computers first had the function of boot password, people would add password hints to prevent themselves from forgetting those characters when setting passwords.

Usually the password prompt will write some clues related to the password, so that people can see the password prompt and remember how they set the password in the first place.

Or those who have a bad memory but don't want others to know their passwords, they will provide some clues in those password prompts, and then calculate the characters to spell out the boot password.

Of course, the latter, there are almost few such people.

Jiang Ning glanced at the prompt on the white paper, and in his impression, such a prompt was basically the same as the latter who had just said about setting a computer password.

First of all, in the parentheses of the last line is an English sentence "KEY: Xinhua Dictionary 12th Edition", although there is no high level of English, but you can also understand the meaning of this sentence, KEY means key, and the subsequent translation is the twelfth edition of Xinhua Dictionary.

Therefore, the key to unlocking this password should be in the twelfth edition of the Xinhua Dictionary.

Jiang Ning looked around, this room was called the "study", and the owner of the secret room set the secret room here, so the so-called key should also be in this room.

In the end, he finally found the twelfth edition of the Xinhua dictionary on the third shelf, that is, the bookshelf of various picture checks and encyclopedias.

But why is the key the twelfth version and not the latest?

- Maybe it's because the owner of the secret room only has this one in his hand.

Jiang Ning laughed dumbly at his whim, he put aside the twelfth edition of the Xinhua dictionary, and continued to observe the string of decimal places in the password prompt, as well as the so-called "0←, 1 →" in the back.

Open the Xinhua dictionary at will, the page number is written on the outer corner of each page, except for the page number before the letter "diàn" that starts with D, the page number is within 100, this dictionary. Write the page number with numbers to seven hundred and eleven pages.

Jiang Ning really can't think of what this string of numbers has to do with the dictionary, if you want to say that it is really far-fetched, it should be the page number.

The first number is "397.12".

In order to confirm his conjecture, Jiang Ning turned the dictionary to page 377, which is the pinyin "qǐ", so what does the decimal point mean?

Jiang Ning found that this string of numbers, each of which has a decimal point, if the decimal point is preceded by the page number, then this symbol is definitely not its original meaning.

Combined with another somewhat incomprehensible prompt "0←, 1 →", you can find that the number after the decimal point is always 0 or 1, so what does this arrow mean?

It can be boldly guessed that the number zero represents the arrow to the left, the number one represents the arrow to the right, and there is a vertical line in the middle of each page of the dictionary, which sets the atmosphere of the page, the left and the right parts.

Therefore, it will soon be possible to find out that the numbers zero and one may be the first few words in that column, otherwise Jiang Ning really can't think of what the meaning of these hints is.

With the idea of making mistakes, Jiang Ning substituted all the numbers into it, but he didn't expect to really get a line of words composed of logical and informational words.

"The key to death is in the back of time".

To understand a little, this line of words and sentences is not strictly classical Chinese, but only some words are reduced into a sentence.

So after the enrichment, you can get the following sentence: "The key to unlocking death (undead/flight) is behind the time." ”

Is it true that anyone would regard the secret room they designed as death?

Jiang Ning didn't know, but according to the "Fairy Tale of Death" he saw on the shelf, the closest of his three guesses to the idea of the designer of the secret room was death.

So the first half of the sentence should be a reminder of where the key to open this secret room is.

This is followed by the second half of the sentence, "behind time", what does time mean?

Time is the eternal movement of matter, the continuity of change, and the sequential expression, including the two concepts of time and period.

Time is a parameter used by human beings to describe the process of material movement or the occurrence of events, and the determination of time is based on the law of the periodic change of matter that is not affected by the outside world.

So what represents time?

Jiang Ning only thought of clocks, which were the only tools for humans to determine the flow of time.

He thought of the grandfather clock in the lobby, could it be that the key to open this secret room was behind the grandfather clock?

Speaking of which, why does this secret room designer like to put East XZ behind his back so much, and the secret room is too, even the key, it's really a bit strange.......

However, it has nothing to do with what others think, so let's continue to act smoothly for the sake of safety and investigation.

Out of the study door, when he came to the lobby, Enoshima was already eating with a pot of stewed vegetables, the stewed vegetables exuded an attractive fragrance, which aroused Jiang Ning's hunger at once, but when he saw the display time of the grandfather clock, he forcibly dispelled this thought.

It's eleven forty-five now, fifteen minutes before the arrival of the black-robed man, although the door of the hotel has been blocked by himself, but the existence of that kind of foul, he can't be sure that it is safe now.

So I can only continue to search, and the newspaper clippings I saw before, as well as the letters sent to Enoshima, all mention a person from Dirktes, including his hospital, and his own trapped here should have something to do with this person.

And that secret room was very likely to contain this secret, and his curiosity about the incident overpowered Jiang Ning's hunger, and he walked straight to the grandfather clock and began to tinker.

But the grandfather clock is placed close to the wall, and even if you push the clock away a little, there is still a whitewashed wall behind him, so where is the key?

At this time, Jiang Ning once again glanced at the poster on the wall, one of which read, "Welcome everyone to experience the two-person horror theme house "House of Death", opening hours: twelve o'clock at midnight." "It made him think of the secret room.

The fanaticism for death, and the secret room that is also a room, makes it difficult for him to think of anything else.

At this time, after Jiang Ning saw "twelve o'clock at midnight", a somewhat absurd idea suddenly appeared, what would happen if the hands of the grandfather clock were turned to twelve o'clock?

Stretching out his hand to touch the bronze hands, Jiang Ning took a few deep breaths and wanted to calm down, because no one knew if the hands of this grandfather clock were really dialed to twelve o'clock, would it speed up the flow of this time reincarnation world?

But now he was not allowed to think about it too much, and there were still fourteen minutes left, Jiang Ning silently remembered this information in his heart, stretched out his hand and moved the pointer to the number 12.
