Chapter 82 Decryption
Du Yuqi said slowly after a while:
"What about Lansat? It should not be far away, right?"
The driver said:

"Yes, sir, although these houses on both sides of Shell Avenue are old, they are still durable and quite good, but why are they regarded as slums? That is because it is not far from Lansat, and it is not that there are no rich people who want to live here, but it is said that mysterious deaths, ghosts and other supernatural events often occur here, and only poor people who don't care about anything will live here."
Du Yuqi nodded and suddenly said:
"Okay, let's stop here. I think you are right. It is too unlucky to go to a place like Lansat. On the contrary, I think a place like Shell Avenue is also full of great beauty, so I think this place is also quite good. As long as you don't stay here until night, then supernatural events will not follow me, right?"
After hearing this, the driver said happily:
"Okay, sir, you get off here?"
Du Yuqi nodded, got off the car, gave a generous tip, and then began to look at the surrounding buildings.
Yes, after he came here, he felt that he could do another thing - that is, the clues from the dead ghost Shi Siding. At that time, Du Yuqi thought he was wearing a dimensional ring, which was actually a very ordinary thing, but later he met the old man Feng Lin and realized that this thing was actually a prop used to hide extremely confidential information, and even on the Arad continent, there were only a handful of people who could unlock it.
At this time, Du Yuqi felt that the secret hidden in this thing might be extraordinary, and according to the content decrypted by the old man Feng Lin, it directly pointed to Cantwin! To be precise, it was No. 17, Cantwin Shell Avenue, and the password was "The carrot is very sweet."
At this time, Du Yuqi found that he had arrived at Cantwin Shell Avenue, so there was no reason not to stop by. At first, he took this thing from Shi Siding and thought it was just a side job. It was not until he met Feng Lin that he realized that this thing probably contained a very big secret.
After the driver left, Du Yuqi stood on Shell Avenue. At this time, he could get closer to the buildings on both sides, and he could feel more and more that these buildings were old but full of historical accumulation, and at the same time there was an indescribable familiarity.
When Du Yuqi came to a high place where he could overlook the buildings on both sides of Shell Avenue, he immediately found the source of this familiar feeling, the prison or the barracks!
The last time he was in Shatley,
Du Yuqi climbed up to overlook the city layout of Shatley. It was originally built as a war fortress, so it looked dull, strict, and tough.
The buildings on both sides of Shell Avenue, looking down from a high place, were neatly arranged on both sides of the avenue, with exactly the same style. Of course, they were five points similar to the situation in Shatley, but they formed a completely different style from the prosperity and complexity in Cantwin. However, due to the erosion of time, this building also has an amazing beauty of wind and frost, which can be particularly touching if it is in the sunset.
Then Du Yuqi began to look for No. 17 Shell Avenue. He thought it was a very simple thing, but it was not the case. Du Yuqi asked several people in succession, and without exception, all shook their heads, saying that they had never heard of this place.
Du Yuqi never expected that the first thing he encountered would lead to a deadlock. He even thought about whether the source of the information was wrong, but he immediately ruled out this possibility. Shi Siding could not have predicted that he would be beaten to death, and Feng Lin, the old man, was even more focused on breaking his own limits, and it was impossible for him to do anything in this regard.
After confirming that the information on his side was correct, Du Yuqi began to think about other possibilities. He currently imagined several possible situations, such as language communication and translation problems. There were some information left by Shi Siding that needed to be translated, and Feng Lin followed his own translation.
This situation is very common on Earth. For example, benz cars are called Benz in Taiwan, Mercedes-Benz in Hong Kong, and Mercedes-Benz in the mainland because of translation.
Another possibility is that the information left by Shi Siding is the same as the way the scabbard transmits information, which directly acts on the mind, so Feng Lin may have some deviations when retelling it.
At the same time, Du Yuqi also remembered one thing, that is, there is another way to transmit information in the Arad world, which he had personally experienced, just like what the Poison Cat King did when he regained his sanity, directly imprinting the information he wanted to transmit into his mind, so after Feng Lin obtained this information, he could only repeat his memory, which would also lead to deviations.
Knowing where the problem probably occurred, Du Yuqi naturally knew how to crack it, and he simply entered the buildings on both sides of Shell Avenue for field investigations, and at the same time spent a lot of money to obtain relevant intelligence.
With money opening the way, a large amount of information was gathered at Du Yuqi's place. Of course, everything has pros and cons. The most indispensable thing in such slums is criminals, so Du Yuqi suffered three thefts and four robberies in a short period of time. Well, Du Yuqi was in a good mood today, so after giving them a slight punishment, he spared their lives and told them that if they had any information about No. 17, Shell Avenue, they could come to him in exchange for a silver coin.
History is often changed by seemingly insignificant things. Du Yuqi did not expect that the problem in front of him would be solved by as cheap as three silver coins. A gangster he let go quickly returned and took Du Yuqi to a building next to Shell Avenue.
This building, like the other buildings, was severely eroded by the wind and was old. Even so, the structure of the upper and lower floors was still very solid. The gangster took Du Yuqi around to the back of the building. I discovered that a big hole had been dug out against the corner of the wall. It looked like it had been dug recently.
This gangster told Du Yuqi that he and a few brothers dug this pit for a simple purpose. It was used to bury people. There was a guy who owed them a lot of money and had not paid back, so these guys planned to dig a pit and bury him alive. , but this guy was lucky enough to come up with the money before the deadline, so this trap was useless.
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that the location of this pit was built close to this ancient stone building, so you can see a strange symbol carved on the underground wall of the stone building. , this symbol is about the size of a washbasin, and many people will not recognize it. However, Du Yuqi’s understanding of the language system on the Arad continent is different. It comes from the drop of apostle’s blood he absorbed, so he mastered it. I have learned about many more languages and cultural systems than most people!
Therefore, this symbol looks like a rope with many knots, but it actually means a number. To be precise, it is the number eight!
The gangster pointed at this symbol and told Du Yuqi that it was a unique symbol spread in the culture of their tribe. He had seen his grandmother use this symbol to record events, so this symbol was the number eight, and Du Yuqi could find him This is also a very lucky thing, because their tribe is on the verge of extinction.
This kind of demise is not due to the withering away of the population, but because of the imperial culture that has been popular among Cantwen for many years. Therefore, the next generation of these tribes have also begun to subtly accept the imperial culture and forget the civilization they inherited. ——Well, this situation has been common in China's history for thousands of years. The Han culture has assimilated countless foreign races.
Du Yuqi suppressed the excitement in his heart, and then hired a few people to dig in the same part of the building next to him. Sure enough, he found the same number next to it. Although this number was a little mottled, it could be seen that it was the number seven.
After determining the order of the numbers, the location of the first building should be easy to determine. Why is Du Yuqi so excited? Because he had already thought of a possibility. Since there is no such place as No. 17, Shell Avenue, there is another possibility, that is, No. 7, Building 1, Shell Avenue. If Feng Lin read consecutively at that time, there might be some problems due to typography or writing. The reason is directly pronounced as number seventeen.
At the same time, www.a. cm Du Yuqi discovered that these ancient buildings did not seem to have only three floors to the naked eye, so he went inside and inspected it, and found that it was indeed the case. The building had six floors, three of which were buried in the soil. Inside, the locals thought it was a basement, but Du Yuqi didn't think so, because how could there be windows in the basement?
Therefore, the only explanation is that the earth's crust here has been sinking for hundreds of years, and the strong wind and sand have buried half of this six-story building. After a few years, this building even It will be buried directly underground. However, judging from the time period when it was originally built, it is appropriate to write the building number on the waist of the building.
After arriving at the building that was determined to be the same building, Du Yuqi asked someone to dig a hole on the side of the building to see the number. However, after digging out, he was a little confused. The mark left on it was actually No. 14!
Du Yuqi immediately felt an indescribable strangeness, because under normal circumstances, the buildings marked as one should be at the starting point, or end, of Shell Avenue, because according to common sense, this building should be The building should be built first. He also had people dig holes next to the other buildings to check the marks on them, and found out some unfortunate news. The order of the buildings here should be out of order, or At least they are arranged in an order that Du Yuqi doesn't understand! wt
