Chapter 717 Dave's World (XVI)

"So that's it..." The moment he saw that number, the many pieces of information in Feng Bujue's mind instantly twisted together to form a complete clue chain, "Thirteen pictures, thirteen coordinates, thirteen nouns pointing to 'somewhere'... can just lead me to find thirteen command codes." When he said this, he had already turned around and walked towards the bicycle, "Because only the ghost postman knows everyone's command code, so... on each illustration photo, you can find the tire marks left by him when he passed by..."

Brother Jue kicked up the support frame of the bicycle, stepped on the seat, and read: "Well... Although the inference itself is valid, the possibility of 'coincidence' or 'individual exceptions' cannot be ruled out... To be on the safe side, let's step on each coordinate in the order of the newspaper page..."

He thought very carefully. After all, he has only confirmed one clue so far, and he can't draw conclusions as a matter of course. He has to go to at least three places, find three numbers that are suspected to be command codes, and match them with the recipients one by one, before he can be completely sure that his inference is correct.

…………

To make a long story short, twenty minutes later, Feng Bu-Jue arrived at the third page of the newspaper...that is, the place recorded in the second illustration...

According to the coordinates and nouns, he found the number "16" at the bottom of a trash can...which was exactly the command code of Fatty No. 2.

Then, he went to the location of the third illustration without stopping - a farmland in the west of the town. And on a fence beside the farmland, he found three numbers painted with paint - "219".

After getting this three-digit number, he naturally went straight to Fatty No. 3's residence and knocked on the door of the recipient again.

This time, Brother Jue didn't say a word of nonsense. As soon as the other party answered the door, he said: "Command code 219, take the letter for me."

As a result... Fatty No. 3 really took the letter.

So far. Feng Bujue's inference has been basically confirmed. What he had to do next was no difficulty at all... He only needed to design the most time-saving and efficient route in his mind, and then follow this route to explore the ten locations with command codes and let the remaining ten fat men receive the letters, then the side mission would be completed.

Although the final completion time was longer than he initially expected, it should still be completed before 8 o'clock in the evening. There were still four full hours before the "before midnight" required by the mission, which was more than enough.

At that time, Jue Ge... did plan it this way, but his plan changed soon after.

…………

Afternoon, 4:15.

Jue Ge, who had explored five coordinate points according to the established route, suddenly stopped the action.

"Damn... stupid!" He stopped in the middle of the road and cursed himself. "Such an obvious pattern... I should have discovered it earlier..."

I don't know what he thought of, anyway, he immediately turned the front of the bicycle and ran towards the address of the recipient closest to him.

Ten minutes later, Feng Bujue arrived at the porch of Fatty No. 13.

The order code of this recipient was a fourteen-digit number, and Brother Jue had not yet checked the coordinates of the code, but he still knocked on the other party's door firmly.

"It's you again..." After opening the door, Fatty No. 13 stared at Brother Jue through the crack of the door and said, "I said it. Without the order code, I won't..."

"Wait a moment." Feng Bujue interrupted the other party, and at the same time took out his mobile phone and tapped on it for a while. About five seconds later. He handed over the thirteenth letter with his other hand, and continued at a very fast speed, "Three zero two eight seven five one zero six five nine two two five."

After the voice fell, the fat man was stunned for two seconds. These two seconds made Feng Bujue quite nervous...

Fortunately, two seconds later, Fatty No. 13 took the envelope obediently. He said depressedly: "Damn..."

"Humph... Great." Feng Bujue smiled.

At this moment, he had completely cracked the code pattern of the thirteen fat men; he could tell all the thirteen codes without having to check the coordinates indicated in the newspaper.

Moreover, through this "pattern", he also knew in advance... there was an abnormal person among the thirteen fat men.

…………

In the evening, half past six.

Feng Bujue rode his bicycle to the door of a hotel on the west side of the town.

At this time, his side quest [Send all the letters before midnight] had been completed. Because he did not go to any coordinates indicated in the newspaper to look for the code, but directly ran through all the remaining recipient addresses, reported the fat men's command codes one by one, and asked them to accept the letters.

The impact of completing the side quest ahead of time was that… The moment Jue sent out the last letter, he received three new quests in succession:

[Investigate and solve the reason why Enoch was late]

[Try to participate in the "Last Supper"]

[Crack the world view of the script before completing the main quest]

All three of these were classified as hidden quests…

Of course, for Feng Bujue, this was not a bad thing. It could even be said that… this development was just what he wanted.

"Well... according to the map, this is the only hotel in the town. If Enoch (Juege inferred from the content of the task that Enoch is the name of the man in the felt hat) is an outsider like me, and he arrived yesterday... then there is a high probability that he stayed here overnight." Juege thought to himself when he walked to the door of the hotel, "But... we can't rule out the possibility that he has relatives in this town, or that he hooked up with a girl in the bar last night."

As he thought, he pushed open the door of the hotel.

"Hmph... it's open, right..." The moment he pushed the door open, Feng Bujue knew that he was in the right place.

Although Otaku Town is very large, there are only a few buildings that players can enter. It's rare to encounter a place that can be entered, so it must be famous.

"Is anyone there?" After a few seconds, Feng Bujue walked through a not-so-long corridor and came to a counter. Since there was no bell or anything on the counter, Juege could only shout for people.

"If there's no one, I'll do it myself!" He waited for a moment, and when no one responded, he shouted again.

But the result was the same, no one was there.

"Very good." Feng Bujue smiled, walked around the counter, lifted the countertop and walked in.

The first thing he did was to look through the thick register on the table and found the name "Enoch".

"Well... it seems that there are still many people living here..." When looking through the records, Brother Jue unexpectedly found that there were quite a lot of names in this booklet. According to the content recorded in it, 70% of the rooms in this hotel are occupied at the moment.

"Most of the people who come to stay in the hotel are from outside the town..." Feng Bujue said thoughtfully, "I can try to communicate with them later to see if I can get any information."

He quickly wrote down some room numbers and the names of the guests, then turned around and took out the key of Room 204 where Enoch checked in from the key cabinet behind the counter, humming a little tune and ran to the second floor.

This kind of small hotel usually has no elevator. Feng Bujue went up the stairs, passed a dimly lit corridor with red carpet, and soon found Room 204.

He stood in front of the door, thinking for two seconds, and then... inserted the key, opened the door, raised the shotgun at high speed, and aimed at all angles inside the door.

After confirming that there was no obvious threat in his sight, he quickly stepped into the door again, imitating the actions and sequence of the police searching the house in the police and gangster movies, and explored all corners and blind spots such as behind the door, under the bed, and in the bathroom.

During the whole process, he did not speak, and even the sound of his footsteps was very low. It can be said to be quiet, fast, and accurate.

Unfortunately... In the single-player nightmare book, there are always fewer monsters, and his professional clearing process is just a waste of emotion...

After a circle, Jue Ge returned to the door, closed the door, and sighed...

"OK..." He put the gun on the cabinet next to the door, freed his hands, looked at the empty house and said, "You can officially search..." (To be continued...)
