Chapter 312 Invasion of the Brain Cell 20
After changing his own perspective, Feng Bujue soon found the location of the first hidden clue—it was on the protective film of his LCD television Only when he leaned in closer to examine the television screen did he realize that there were e and curious traces on the protective film Then, he swiftly removed this layer of film from the surface of the television screen and raised it to the light However, even after he had done so, he still could not fathoe on the film was
”The film itself is translucent, and the unevenness of the traces is not that conspicuous…”
He studied the object with more than a hint of interest on his face, and after a few seconds, an idea appeared in hisBujue quickly took off into the kitchen and found the vacuum cleaner that was placed inside the cupboard He turned thewas half full In that rabbed the filround, and then sprayed the dust as evenly as he could over the protective file from the dust, some letters started to surface from the transparency of the film
”Ha… this re Bujue commented to himself as he patted away the dust that was left on his hands Then he looked at the letters that had materialized before him and read them out loud ”M, V, E, M, J… U, N”
The hint on the filed in a simple row Other than a space that was left between J and U, the distance between the other letters was all the sa of these seven letters be?” Feng Bujue lish names of all the Calabash Brothers?”
He was half joking, but it was indeed this seave hi Bujue's eyes scanned over the row of letters again, and soon, a smile started to crawl on the corner of his lips ”Hah… They represent the eight planets”
Brother Jue's astrological knowledge was very average But at the very least, he knew the correct arrange for the six of them He was not certain how one would correctly spell Neptune and Uranus, but at the very least, he had an impression of the first letters of these two nouns After he caed back to the bookshelf that was placed in the living room From the rows of books, he pulled out one that was related to astrono Bujue's bookshelf was aled, and everything here it should be The books were arranged according to their naenre, year of publication, and so on This way, no matter what kind of information Brother Jue was in need of, he could locate the necessary book instantly and without much fuss
In the year 2055, why could he not just look for that infor Bujue nor for s online, but he had this belief that the internet was not all enco Humans could not possibly fit all the information that was and would ever be inside a couarantee that the keyed in information could be found online Further material, encyclopedias, and dictionaries would be far more accurate and detailed than the entries on public 'wiki's
Other than that, and this was the crucial proble Bujue had already confir hub, and phones were not functioning The television could be switched on, but it could not receive any signal, and there was no recording that was left inside the hard drive
”Based on the distance from the sun The correct order should be… Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune” Feng Bujue read out fro ”The seven letters on the protective film correspond to the first five and the last two of the planets in our solar system Therefore, the space that was purposely left out has to be Saturn”
He put down the book and lifted his head ”So, the empty letter is S?”
He lifted the film and temporarily placed it on the countertop of his kitchen He took out a bowl fro to hint at the word Earth, since Saturn is literally translated in Chinese as Earth Planet? Or is it a hint about Saturday, Saturn being the root word for Saturday?”
Even though he had found the solution, what this hint was referring to was quite hard to deduce
”Then… it is fairly obvious that there'sBujue held his chin in his one hand ”This answer is just one piece of the whole puzzle”
The search began again, and another tenstrange on the back of the clock that hung on the wall It was a small blue clock, circular in shape and with a flat surface The clock fingers and the nulance, one could tell it was a cheap clock that could be purchased at any night n was si It was a hole that was used for hanging Further down from there, there was a place for the battery It was the kind that did not even have a cover There was currently an AA battery sitting inside Next to the battery was a circular plastic gear, or one should say, a dial It was used to adjust the time It was directly connected to the hand that told theBujue discovered was… once one turned the dial on the back of the clock, it was not the minute hand that ine how anal-retentive the person who could find this kind of clue was… This was equivalent to people who played Zelda without the use of the online guide
”The hint is the hour hand of the clock?” Feng Bujue said to himself ”Hour hand… hour hand… Hourly hand? Hands that ?”
In that brief few seconds, his ih the sky
”Hmht caht ”No, if it simply wants to hint at time, it could have been the second hand or the minute hand, and there are many other ways that the syste the time on the clock turn backhen I turn the dial on the back forward So, it represents 'hour'? One hour?”
Feng Bujue placed the hanging clock gingerly on the coffee table before the sofa
”assu to hour or time, the clue on the protective film points to Saturday?” He huht ”H”
After the appearance of the second clue, the situation did not appear to have cleared up If anything, things see Bujue continued the search inside his living room This time, he even turned the sofa over and moved many pieces of furniture He pulled open the drawers of all the cupboards, e, and even disasse for his effort
”Eh?” When Feng Bujue came to the litter box, he suddenly said, ”Why did I use the dust inside the vacuum earlier, I could have used the sand here…”
So, it was not that an idea had come to him, but he realized he could have used the sand in the litter box to solve the puzzle on the protective filh this as well?” He flipped the litter box over and threw all the stuff inside on the floor, but the content was only a thin layer of sand, and it was not hiding anything else
”Aha!” Feng Bujue was about to put the box down and move elsewhere when he saw the hint at the bottom of the box There were two sets of numbers carved there, 599 and 602
”Ok, but what do theyBujue tapped his chin as he squatted there on the ground ”602 perhaps has some relation to a time, but 599's connection to time is even more strenuous Post code? Phone number? Identification number? SCP project code?”
His brain started to turn and work
”Wait aBujue's eyes, and theHe uttered urgently, ”Could this be page nued back to the bookshelf, and his gaze wandered up and down the bookshelf swiftly In just two seconds, he filtered out all the books that had fewer than five hundred pages co the width of the books on the shelf
”Ha… I aht hand to knock on his head slightly ”The answer of the puzzle on the protective film is 's', and the hint from the clock is the same The puzzle also only has one letter…”
He quickly tossed his eyes to the other end of the shelf, and that end was arranged with books with titles that all started with the letter S or H
”Ninety percent of the books on the shelf are Chinese books Discounting those without enough page nu the pinyin of the first Chinese character, but that does not preclude the possibility that the hints are pointing at the first letter of the books' translated English title…”
As that thought entered hisBujue's brain, and soon after, the name of a book popped up
”Hh like a crazyabout the bookshelf stopped to do so Ten seconds later, he reached toward one corner of the books and pulled out a thick and heavy title He heaved the book to the living roo Bujue returned to the kitchen He looked at the protective film that was dirtied with dust He picked it up, scrunched it up, and threw it into the trash bin Then, he took out an aluminum kettle from the cupboard, poured so the water
”Hmm… it will take at least five to tenBujue turned around to look at the living room, which appeared like it had just been swept by a typhoon ”I have found the answer that three hints point to, so the puzzle of the living room should be completed already”
He turned to look at the door that led to the bedroom and said to himself, ”Perhaps I should o in to take a look”
After his decision was rab the broom that he had in his house and then slunk his way to the door to his bedroom He turned the doorknob as a try, and there was no probleap carefully The light in the bedroom was on He reached the broo for … he pushed the door open But after he opened the door and saas waiting for hi sentence bounded up in his brain
”ItPerhaps I did not open the door the right way”
”Hi…” The beauty lying in bed used a seductive voice to greet Brother Jue She was lying on her side on Feng Bujue's bed, and she was dressed in, to put it politely, a very 'siown, her full and round breasts flickered in and out of view The curve of her shoulders, the slender waist, and her long slender legs—her whole body was stretched out in a gorgeous and incredibly sexy curve Her hair avy like enveloping waves, spreading behind her head It fell softly on Feng Bujue's pillow One did not need to spend much description on the beauty's face, but the most fatal feature on our lady here was her eyes If there was an electro through the roof In a silimpse, thousands and a Bujue could not help but ame in a serious expression
”Dear handsome, how can I help you?” the beauty asked
”YouBujue said shamelessly
