Everyone's phone received a service text message.

[The rules of the first round of tasks are as follows:

The pick-up point for this mission is the No. 1 Banquet Hall of the Fuji Will;

The mission location is the entire range of the Fuji Will;

The task is a time-limited puzzle solving, which is divided into four difficulty levels: A, B, C, and D. The higher the difficulty grade, the greater the chance of getting high-quality rewards after successfully solving the puzzle;

The number of tasks of each level of difficulty is limited, 50 for A grade, 100 for B grade, 100 for C grade, and 50 for D grade.

During the mission, participants will receive mobile phones, tablets and other electronic devices, which will be returned after the task is over;

The task starts with the participant getting the mystery object to the task collection point, and it is judged to be successful after confirmation;

The first task reward is 20 random grade cruise rooms, one of which can be selected as the participant's cruise room, the higher the difficulty of the task, the greater the probability of high-quality rooms;

Task Reward 2 is a random lunch coupon, which can be used at any chef's restaurant, Category B lunch coupon can be used in family restaurants and canteens, Type C lunch coupons can be used in coffee shops or dessert shops, and Type D lunch coupons can be used in the cafeteria to receive instant noodles;

The first 10 participants to complete the mission, and the first 10 participants to complete the A-level mission, will receive additional rewards;

The task time ends at 11:55, and if the time limit is exceeded, it will be automatically judged as a failure, and the loser will receive the lowest grade room and a Type D lunch coupon by default;

Participants who exchange tasks or task rewards will be disqualified from participating in all subsequent events.

The task topics are all formulated by the class guidance group of the winning group;

The final interpretation of this mission belongs to the Student Union of Toyo Bunka. 】

Asama's first reaction when he saw this text message,

Does Chiyo Konoe want to use this mission to humiliate the students who won the June monthly test?

But puzzle solving is not a matter of getting better grades, getting better at it.

The monthly test of Yinghe Academy is a systematic test of academic ability, and it is not as easy to fool as the Ravenclaw door in Harry Potter.

He took out a map of the ship from his pocket and flipped it open to find the location of Ballroom No. 1.

Luckily, it's on the 6th floor.

Now in the 10 floors of the White Sea Fortress,

The scenery of the upper floors is occupied by the 3rd grade, the entertainment facilities on the lower floors are occupied by the 2nd grade, and the boring middle floor of the 4th and 7th floors is exactly where Asama Futami and the others are.

When Asama, Futami, and Fukasawa rushed to the task collection location, there were still 17 A-level difficult tasks that had not been claimed.

Nine class guides and more than a dozen staff members on the cruise ship maintain order.

Sakuragi smiled and looked at the three, but did not speak.

A beautiful staff member dressed in a bunny girl costume explained the details of the mission to Asama again.

After the three of them left their luggage, they lined up to hand in their mobile phones one by one, and there were about 30 people waiting to pick up the task in the No. 1 banquet hall.

Asama they are ranked 10th to 12th.

Everyone in front of them chose A, and all three of them had room to choose A.

There was a sudden commotion outside the banquet hall.

"Did you hear that?"

"What?"

"Class K of the first year and Class R of the third year blocked the passages in several directions to the banquet hall, and only the people in their class and those who received the task in front of them were released. Others have to wait half an hour before they can come in. ”

"That's an exaggeration! Will the students not care? ”

"Didn't you see that the teachers didn't react?"

Asama was speechless for a while. Class K. Kiyoichiro Hasaka seems to be a very good person.

His monthly test score this time seems to be the 8th in the grade and the first in the K class.

Sure enough, because Class A Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, you can't underestimate the rest of Yinghe.

The three of them walked over to the large hotel table with four large boxes.

Each large box is marked with a letter and a counter next to it.

"Jingshui-kun, you choose first."

"Asama-kun, you can choose first."

Both Futami and Fukasawa voluntarily gave up their positions and let Asama choose first.

"Yuehai, do you like to eat sweet or salty?"

"Sweet."

Asama chose the task of difficulty C and pulled out a red and white square envelope with the student council emblem printed on it from the box.

In Futami and Fukasawa were speechless for a while, Asama said lightly:

"Let's go out and see what the mission puzzle is."

Futami also chose a C.,Nothing else.,Eating with Asama is the most important option.。

Fukasawa originally wanted to choose A, but when the first two people who were better at reading than her both chose C, she retreated and chose the B-level difficulty task.

After walking through the muscle-forest-like blockade area arranged by Class R of Year 3 in the passage of the east gate of the banquet hall, at the suggestion of Fukasawa, the three of them returned to the golf putting practice area just now.

It's already 10:42, and according to the time limit for handing in the task before 11:55, there is still more than an hour to solve the puzzle, but others who are delayed by Class K of Year 1 and Class R of Year 3 may only have more than half an hour of task time.

I don't understand why Sakuragi didn't come out to stop it.

This kind of fierce competition by any means is not common in the free and joyful Yinghe.

In the task of embodying the supremacy of strength led by Konoe, is it understandable that there are more vignettes that embody [collectivity] in the eyes of the teachers?

Rather than the sea breeze on the deck, Asama enjoys the air-conditioning and air treated with air purifiers and aromatherapy.

The sun is a headache, and the ultraviolet rays at sea seem to be stronger.

Asama felt a slight itch in his skin, so he stood against the shadow.

As an ordinary student with 66 students in three monthly tests, Asama is not confident in his intelligence, after all, he is just a [hindsight], A is not interested in challenge, what about getting the presidential suite?

Anyway, choosing B, C, and D doesn't make any difference to him, and he can make do with eating instant noodles once in a while.

Solving puzzles within the scope of your ability can maintain the dignity of the lonely person's heart.

The envelope was taken out of his pocket and opened it, and the cardboard folded in half was written in bold black letters with the number "C-6".

Open the jammed paper, and the puzzle inside comes into view.

Futami and Fukasawa poked their heads left and right, looking at the information on the cardboard.

[The first half represents the wealth and luxury of the king, and the luxury and comfort of the world's master. 】

[The second half shows the other side of man, observe him, it is the king of the sea.] 】

[Aha! All of this will change when they become one! 】

[The rights and freedoms that men flaunt have come to naught. 】

[The lords of the earth and the sea bow down. 】

[Lovely man, you are the proud master. 】

The three of them stared at the subject for a moment of silence.

"Is this a C-level puzzle?"

Fukasawa Yuki, who was confused, regretted taking the B-level difficulty task a little.

"It feels familiar."

Futami bit his lip lightly, thinking about this sentence.

Asama couldn't cry or laugh for a while, and he had read this sentence too.

Why do I remember it clearly, because in this sentence, the hostess's hobby is to be someone else's matchmaker.

The point is, she's still a redneck.

This kind of peer can't remember, even if it's fictional.

"In Jane Austen's Emma, the court represents the palace, the country, and the earth, and the ship represents the ship, the feelings, and the sea.

But the word courtship, which is combined, stands for courtship, marriage proposal.

Since the mystery is courtship, then the noteworthy points of this ship are probably these places. ”

Asama opened the map of the Fuji Will and pointed to several places,

"If it refers to prop rings, then it is a jewelry store on the first floor of the commercial street, if it is a wedding scene, then it is two banquet halls that can hold weddings, and the No. 1 banquet hall has been requisitioned, so it is likely to be the No. 2 banquet hall, if not, you can consider going to the No. 1 banquet hall to find it. The third, the library, finds the book. ”

Fukasawa looked at Asama with admiration on his face and added,

"Why not the bow of the possibly ship? Is the Titanic so romantic? ”

If I remember correctly, during the bow hug, Jack didn't propose to Ruth, did he?

Asama shook his head,

"In general, what goes beyond a puzzle is distracting information."

Futami looked at Asama with sparkling eyes,

"Then the still water-kun can go? There are additional rewards for the top 10! ”

Asama shook his head and said to Futami,

"Look at your puzzle again."

Futami opened his envelope. Puzzle No. C-26, flip through the cardboard.

【The Pain of Soberness】

【Sea Immersion Boots】

【Direction of the Sea】

【Reflection Shadow】

"Asama-kun, what does that mean?"

Asama glanced at Fukasawa, can't you use your brain?

The problem of second sight has a lot of gold content,

"The king of still water, the division of the sea, does it mean that Moses divided the sea and went out of Egypt?"

"Chances are."

"Then the direction of the sea refers to the east?"

"Moses was taking people to Canaan in the east of Egypt, but the direction of the sea was theoretically north-south."

"But if it's north-south, isn't there no direction?"

Asama thought about it for a while,

"That's right. It feels like these four have to be seen together. The shadow of the reflection is probably water, glass or mirror, and it is easier to guess the combination of the boots of immersion in the sea and the pain of sobriety. ”

Unfortunately, Asama was silent for a while, and neither girl answered, just waiting for him to announce the answer.

Asama unfolded the map again and continued,

"Soaking boots in the Mediterranean, you always know which country it is, right?"

"Italy!" X2

"What's there in Italy that makes people sober and bitter?"

"Is espresso correct?"

Asama nodded,

"So, there are only two places to drink coffee on the whole ship, one Starbucks and the other is an Italian café, and the location is very clear. I think the last two sentences should be clues to further describe the location of the mystery in the café. ”

"In the window or mirror on the east side of the café?"

Asama gave Futami a thumbs up, and the girl responded with a smug smile.

The smile of the second sight is the cleanest Asama has ever seen, and there is an extraordinary sense of innocence.

Hurriedly coughed, looked at Fukasawa, and the second saw that he also responded,

"Yuki-chan, we have roughly the answer to our mystery. Won't you show Jingshui-kun and help you consult? ”

Fukasawa breathed a sigh of relief,

"Then I'm saved, it's so much trouble just for the C-level, and I don't feel like I can finish the B-class. It's a pity that you can't exchange rewards for Asama-kun. ”

Asama shrugged,

"I can't guarantee that it will be solved."

Fukasawa glanced at the second sight, and folded his hands to Asama to make a gesture of praying for God and worshiping Buddha,

"Isn't the C-level two missions just now a matter of minutes for Asama-kun? Don't be humble anymore, I thank you first of all for being a god of wisdom. ”

The three looked at the puzzle.

[When I say it, as soon as the first sound comes out, it is the past.] 】

[When I say it, I break it.] 】

[When I say it, I'm creating its opposite.] 】

[Cut off their heads in turn, and a new legend is being born.] 】

Seeing this topic, Asama secretly sighed luck.

If you hadn't read Szymboska, you might have to meditate for a long time.

When the future is spoken, the "future" becomes the past.

When silence is spoken, the "silence" is broken.

When you say nothing, there is something out of nothing.

So since "not silent" has no meaning, the [FNS] composed of "future", "silent", and "nothing" in English is the thing related to legends.

Asama couldn't think for a while that this thing had anything to do with the cruise ship, but he told Fukasawa the clues that had been pushed out.

The three looked at the time, 10:53.

It took Asama only 11 minutes to solve 2 and a half puzzles.

Futami said with pride and a little excitement,

"Jingshui-kun, let's go and find out the mystery object together~ I think we are expected to be in the top 10~"

But I saw Asama shake his head,

"Let's take a break. There's not much need to compete for the top 10 or something. ”

As soon as the words fell, the cruise ship radio made a sizzling sound,

[This puzzle solving mission, the first completer, the first A-level task completer, one year Class A, Konoe Chiyo] X3

There is a feeling that the examiner joins the ranks of candidates and wins the top prize.

Asama even suspected that the puzzle he got was arranged by Chiyo Konoe.

The luck in the eyes of the lower animals may be the charity given by the higher dimensional beings.

In the past, when I raised ants, I had this feeling of being a creator.

Apparently, Chiyo Konoe is enjoying this sense of manipulation.

"The eldest lady of the Konoe family is really powerful."

Fukasawa Xue sighed that the gap between her family and the Imperial House was almost the gap between the Imperial House and the Konoe family.

The real aristocracy makes people jealous, and for her, there is only a sense of oppression.

Asama didn't think the puzzle solver was very good.

Solving puzzles is too lucky.

In Huaxia, there is a puzzle of "boundless falling trees and Xiao Xiaoxia", and the puzzle is the word "day".

Most of the people who uncover the mystery do not know the cause and effect.

This mystery first from "Xiao Xiaoxia" to the five generations of Qi Liang two generations of emperors named Xiao Daocheng and Xiao Yan, Qi Liang under the Emperor Chen Wu, that is, "Chen", and then the word "Chen" boundless to "阝", falling wood to "wood", is a "day".

This kind of riddle that is made behind closed doors only understands by the person who wrote the problem himself, and there are too many in this world.

Therefore, Asama feels that solving puzzles does not depend on intelligence, but on the amount of knowledge and luck.

Fukasawa Yuki learned from Asama and Futami and sat on the carpet against the wall on the deck, looking at the clouds in the distance.

The sun was on their right, casting plenty of light and heat.

At around 11 o'clock, the Sun was about due south and easterly in the Northern Hemisphere, so it was judged that the Fuji Will was sailing due south.

The 22-knot cruise ship has sailed out of the port of Tokyo.

On the side of the 6th deck where Asama is located, you can see the distant shadow of Futsu City.

The three of them blew the sea breeze with a temperature of about 30 degrees Celsius, and quietly looked into the distance for 2-3 minutes.

Maybe in a swim or at night, the wind is more comfortable.

Asama looked at Fukasawa who was in a daze and asked,

Fukazawa, let's go back to the topic that was interrupted earlier. How did Goxingin reject you at that time, and how did you answer? ”

Fukasawa suddenly stood up, patted the skirt that had just sat on the carpet, and smiled at Asama,

"Let's go to the café in Nimi, let's have a drink and talk."

Thank you to the bosses of [Star Moon] [Fantasy December] [Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Slightly Slightly Every Day] for their tips.

The update time is back to the underworld, and I believe that tomorrow will be earlier.

Thank you to the owners for their support
