It wasn't until late at night that the bus returned to town.

The mayor's office building is on the west side of the town, a small two-story building, the second floor is the mayor's office, and the first floor is the exhibition hall, which contains the town's sand table model and some exhibits.

This time it was Lin Pei who accompanied Xu Xu, and he fumbled to turn on the main switch of the office building, and the small second floor lit up all of a sudden.

"There's electricity here?" Xu Shu paused as he pulled out the lighter.

"In the whole town, except for those riddle mechanisms that ring from time to time, only this office building has electricity, and these places should be wired separately." Lin Pei explained, and walked to the sand table again, "We have seen this sand table many times. ”

The above model is exactly the same as the appearance of the town, the size is scaled in a certain proportion, and the structure of the town can be roughly outlined just by looking at this sand table.

"There are puzzle traps everywhere the little flags are planted?" Xu Xu paid attention to it, there were too many puzzle mechanisms in this town, and almost half of the buildings had them.

"That's right." Lin Pei nodded, "The clock master Nisse in the background of the game is the mayor of this town, he was obsessed with puzzle games in his later years, and small notes of puzzles can be seen everywhere in all towns. ”

"But honestly, those puzzles aren't puzzles at all, just common sense questions that should be simple for NPCs in the game, such as how many clocks Nisse made in his lifetime, Nisse's favorite flowers or colors."

"There are also some more strange, what Nisse wears reading glasses or myopia, there are a few potted plants in the mayor's office, what time did Nisse go to bed yesterday and had a few pies for breakfast."

Xu Xu was comparing the model with the building he had seen in the town today in his mind, and suddenly raised his head, "These are not riddles. ”

"Of course not." Lin Pei smiled: "It's probably the childlike innocence of a master." ”

"These questions are aimed at small children." Xu Yu thought for a moment and said, "They are not real puzzles, they are just used to make children happy. ”

Lin Pei opened his mouth and said with a retrospect: "So that's the case, no wonder you will be rewarded with chocolate candy for answering the wrong question." ”

At one point, he guessed that Nisse was an overly narcissistic person, or that the entire town was a fanatical fan of Nisse, even paying attention to such trivial things as eating and sleeping.

"These puzzles are fixed, but the content is the details of life, and Nisellai should not have come alone to settle in the town, at least with a child." Xu Shu asked, "Have you seen Master Nise's residence?" Not on the sand table. ”

Lin Pei shook his head, "There is a residential area in the center of the town, but we haven't searched deeply. ”

"Do you want to look for it now?"

The bus had already gone far and it was not easy to move at night, and they had already planned to spend the night in the office building when they got off the bus.

"Let's go again tomorrow." Xu Yu said: "Look at whether there is a clue to open the door in Nise's residence, and there is always a way to open the door if people in the town want to enter and exit." ”

From the window of the office building, you can just look at the gate on the west wall, Lin Pei shook his head and said: "You can't speak loudly, you can't go out in groups, you can't say something good, you can't cry when a child is born, and the door is also sealed, this is not like spending your old age in peace, but like going to prison." ”

Xu Xu's eyes moved slightly, and before returning to the sand table, he carefully looked at the photos marked on the model, in addition to the basic needs of life, the audience of other shops is generally young, children's clothing stores, doll shops, handicraft shops, picture galleries, crayon shops, plus the riddles that can be seen everywhere in this town, this town seems to be built for children.

And just looking at these, this town should be full of childlike fun, but with a fence on the outside, there are such strange rules in the town, and security guards are hired at a high price...... Equating xenos with security guards is not about keeping the town in order, it's about slaughtering unruly people.

Master Nisse is not on good terms with the townspeople.

The town was built for children, and it was inhabited by a group of Nisse masters who didn't care about their lives or their lives. There are such strict rules, and if you are not careful, you will even take your life, and some people choose to stay.

The town is full of contradictions.

However, the more contradictory the place, the more likely it is to solve the problem.

Xu Xu casually tore off the puzzle attached to the handrail of the stairs, looked at it and stuffed it into his pocket, and walked up to the second floor with his hands and feet.

Pushing aside the toys all over the floor, he entered the mayor's office.

Like the watch shop, the walls are covered with all kinds of clocks, the potted plants in the corners have died, and the shelves are littered with books about clocks, picture books and fairy tales.

There was not a single finished clock on the desk, some work utensils were scattered on the table and floor, the drawers were all opened, empty, there were no other paper items in this office except the bookshelves, not even a blank piece of paper could be found, as if it had been looted.

"After all, he is a master watchmaker, and the manuscripts he left behind must be very valuable, and it is normal for the townspeople to move away and steal something." Lin Peidao.

Xu Xu nodded slightly, walked to the windowsill behind the desk, and looked at it, just taking the West Gate into his eyes.

By the faint moonlight, he could see a little ghostly light reflected off the wall, and the point of light was still moving.

"It's the second hand of the big clock on the roof." Lin Pei noticed his gaze, "The tip of the second hand of the clock on the roof is a shiny reflective surface. ”

When the second hand had gone around to the twelfth position, the doll hanging behind the office door suddenly began to play music, "Twelve, twelve, a pleasant evening is coming, this is the time that the watchmaker Nisse loved most." ”

"Today's question is, how many watches did Master Nisse, who loved watches, make in his lifetime?"

Xu Xu picked up the picture book on the bookshelf and found the largest number inside, "20,001." ”

"Toot toot! Answer is correct! ”

"The solver gave the correct answer, and Master Nisse decided to reward you with a hand-folded little star."

Xu Shu stretched out his hand to catch it, it was a thumb-sized paper folded five-pointed star, the kind that children like.

"It seems that this is also used to tease children." Lin Pei couldn't help but feel disappointed.

But instead of announcing the end of the question, the doll continued to ask: "Clever puzzle solver, the second question is, what is Master Nisse's favorite flavor of pie?" ”

"Strawberry flavor." Xu Xu glanced at the strawberry graffiti next to the picture book.

"Toot toot! Answer is correct! ”

"The solver gave the correct answer, and Master Nisse decided to reward you with a small strawberry mirror."

When I held the mirror in my hand, it was a makeup mirror with a strawberry pattern in the shape of a half palm.

Then there is a third question: "What is Master Nisse's favorite game?" ”

"Puzzle solving."

"Didi! Wrong answer! ”
