Chapter 188: Uncover the location! The reward of order!
Looking at the phone and counting silently to five minutes, Lin Yu replied to Li Nian.
"This puzzle is about the time and place, right? Can't the entire 'Free Alliance' solve it?"
"I'm beginning to doubt the correctness of my desire to join you."
His words were undoubtedly offensive.
However, after having direct contact with the "Magician" in the previous copy, Lin Yu did not think it was wrong to show this side of him.
really……
Li Nian's next response was not anger, but explanation.
"The Free Alliance isn't an organization where everyone is constantly working towards the same goal. This is simply a request from one of its members, the Magician."
"Currently, the only ones who have taken on this commission are me, the 'Prisoner,' and the 'Embarker,' who are in Jiangcheng."
"Unfortunately, the 'Prisoner' isn't the type to be good at solving puzzles. The 'Undertaker' is very intelligent... but she has a strange personality and isn't responsible."
Lin Yu chewed over these codes carefully in his mind.
"'Prisoner', 'Undertaker'..."
The outside world has confirmed that there are only nine known members of the "Free Alliance", of which only four have known code names: "Thief", "Magician", "Chef", and "Mountaineer".
"Prisoner" and "Embarker" were the code names that Lin Yu heard for the first time.
Afterwards, Lin Yu sent the message again.
"I see. That's what you and the 'Magician' haven't figured out?"
"It seems that you two are a bit dull in this regard."
Li Nian sent a smiling emoticon.
"If you can figure it out, just tell me now. Don't beat around the bush and make me feel disgusted!"
"Of course I can, just give me some time."
After Lin Yu sent the message, he turned off his phone.
Of course, he didn't intend to tell Li Nian the answer right now...
Because the timing is not right.
Lin Yu sat in the back seat of the van and quietly changed to another mobile phone.
The one belonging to "Lao Yao".
And just as he expected...
He also saw the puzzle in the internal APP of "Jiang'an Tang".
Tycoon: @All members, anyone who's good at puzzles, please quickly uncover the time and place this sentence refers to! This is a request from "Order"!
Tycoon: Whoever solves the puzzle will receive 1000 points from the Order Rewards and an item of your choice from the Order! Those who provide clues will also receive rewards!
"The decision-makers of this organization are even more decisive and prudent than I imagined..."
Lin Yu muttered to himself as he looked at the message on his phone.
This is the "opportunity" that Lin Yu has been waiting for.
If he were to solve these puzzles himself...
Then Lin Yu would definitely take all the rewards he could get.
If the people from the "Free Alliance" knew the "location" in advance, they might reveal it to the "Order" based on their whereabouts!
and so……
He planned to send the answer to the puzzle to all the organizations he could contact at the same time!
Lin Yu took the initiative to send a private message to the "tycoon".
"I can untie it."
Three seconds passed and the tycoon's reply came as expected.
"What's the answer?"
Lin Yu pressed the keyboard of his mobile phone and replied to the tycoon casually.
The tycoon's "announcement" did not include any information about the time when "Order" had been released.
Lin Yu felt that this must have been done on purpose.
The purpose is to further verify the accuracy of the "answer".
Therefore, Lin Yu also answered the question of time again.
Even more precise.
"It's seven o'clock on Thursday evening."
"The reason is that 'the jingle of thirty coins' refers to the 'Last Supper,' which happened on a Thursday."
"Here, allusions from the Bible are used..."
The tycoon replied in amazement.
"You're quite capable, Lao Yao. I've figured it all out for you!"
Seeing the tycoon's quick and concise reply, Lin Yu became more convinced...
The "order" was indeed intentional, and "time" was not released.
For those who can figure out the time, the answer about the location will naturally be more credible!
The tycoon quickly continued to ask.
"The time has been confirmed, but what about the location?"
"'Thirty pieces of silver' refers to Judas' betrayal of Jesus and the Last Supper..."
"Does this mean that 'rainbow' corresponds to another allusion in the Bible, the 'rainbow oath'?"
The tycoon asked.
Lin Yu was not surprised to see the tycoon's speculation.
It seems that the tycoon is not the only one who thinks so.
Because compared to "thirty silver coins", which is a metaphor that only clearly points to an allusion, "rainbow" is indeed a much broader image.
Influenced by the second half of the sentence, many people will think of the "Rainbow Covenant" mentioned in the Bible!
After Noah built the ark to escape the flood, God made an eternal covenant with Noah, "Surely the rainbow will appear in the clouds, and I will see it, and I will remember the everlasting covenant between me and every living creature on earth" - this covenant was witnessed by the rainbow.
but……
Once the rainbow is understood with this oath, it becomes difficult to find the corresponding landmark in reality!
and so……
Lin Yu gave a negative answer.
"Not at all, sir, rainbows have nothing to do with the Bible."
The tycoon's reply came quickly.
“Would you like to do something?”
Lin Yu did not give the answer directly, but began to explain his thoughts.
Of course, as the person who set the question, his thinking must be extremely clear.
"Although the second half of the sentence uses a well-known allusion from the Bible, the first half of the sentence does not come from the Bible."
"It comes from the most famous story in another well-known mythology..."
"If you look at the rainbow alone, you can't pinpoint this range, but there's an adjective before the rainbow."
"'Rainbow at dusk'."
"The second half of the sentence clearly locks in the time, so why does it emphasize dusk here?"
"The answer, of course, is because... this 'dusk' and the rainbow are inseparable, a puzzle about location."
"It refers to... the 'Twilight of the Gods' in Norse mythology."
"And the rainbow mentioned during the Ragnarok era is the Rainbow Bridge connecting Asgard and Midgard!"
The tycoon sent a shocked expression.
"Rainbow Bridge...meaning...bridge?"
"But, Jiangcheng has so many bridges, big and small, which one could it be?!"
Seeing the tycoon's question, Lin Yu gave the final answer slowly.
"During Ragnarok...the Rainbow Bridge is broken."
"Although there are many bridges in Jiangcheng, only one is broken."
"That is not a bridge over water."
"As a native of Jiangcheng, you should know this very well, right?"
"That place... is also a perfect place for players to settle their grudges!"
Lin Yu looked out the window.
On the southern outskirts of Jiangcheng, a building stood, abandoned and unfinished due to municipal planning issues. It had also collapsed due to extreme weather ten years ago...
The southern section of the ring road viaduct!
Before the tycoon could reply, Lin Yu added another sentence.
"Boss, I didn't figure out the above, but as you know... I do have some connections."
"All of the above were solved by a 'friend' of mine - can I take the credit for this reward?"
