The ground was wet, and I took a deep breath, and my nose was invaded by the thick muddy breath. Li Weiyin was dizzy and sat on the ground, slowly closing his eyes, and seriously retracing his memory.

Time passes slowly.

The closed iron door opened again, five hours later.

He was awakened by the sound of the key turning. What caught his eye was Instructor Wang who had disappeared for a long time. On the wall behind him, the dim chandelier shone with bright sweat stains on his head.

"You can leave. By the way, don't tell anyone about today."

Li Weiyin slowly stood up, passed by Instructor Wang, and turned around.

“Landscape Garden, are there any problems?”

"There is a problem." Instructor Wang felt relieved when he said this:

"That person named Lan... actually hid a gardener shovel in the bushes. I tried to shovel it. The land was very soft and it dug a hole in just a few seconds. It was easy to pass through the wall from below... But I have reported this to the mountain leader. In two days, someone will be poured into cement. You can't escape if you want to."

The crisis was resolved, and Instructor Wang looked very relaxed. He wiped his forehead and inserted his hand into the back of his waist, adding:

"Then what... by the way. If Lan Silin really leaves other passwords to others, I will come to you to decipher when I find them. Your benefits are indispensable. Don't you think about escaping, do you understand?"

Li Weiyin nodded and left directly.

It was nearly 8:30, and Kaud had just finished it. I missed the dinner time. Li Weiyin walked around the playground expressionlessly, returned to the dormitory building, picked up the clothes and changed into the bathroom downstairs, and there were already many people lined up.

After taking a shower, he returned to the dormitory. Several roommates had not returned yet. It was the time to freely move from 9:30 to 10:00. Li Weiyin was able to enjoy a moment of tranquility.

He lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and spent five minutes to make sure that the content in his memory was correct, then sat up again, pulled out an ordinary note from the drawer, and after a little thought, he wrote a new string of codes on the paper.

setyii-.-.%

Fity-feiv.-*

thty-snv-…!!

...

There are five elements in the password. It corresponds to five characters. However, "Tin Man" has been locked into the box of the mountain chief's room by Instructor Wang.

Li Weiyin first wrote the word "find" below the first line of password, then closed his eyes and frowned.

Half a minute later, he opened his eyes, picked up his pen, and wrote the word "to" in the second line of code.

The third line of password corresponds to "口".

The fourth line: "Treason".

The fifth element: "those".

After writing these five words, Li Weiyin breathed a sigh of relief, tore off the paper, and carefully observed it in the moonlight. His eyebrows that had just been stretched gently frowned again.

"Finding the betrayer..."

He recited it softly, and infinite doubt suddenly arose in his heart.

There is no doubt that these five words are the real answer to the string of codes left on the title page of "Tin Man".

The so-called "there are problems with the landscape garden" is just a guise set by Li Weiyin.

He was good at observing and noticed many management loopholes in Kanglong Academy intentionally or unintentionally early. He had several methods to safely escape from Kanglong Academy. The loose soil in the southeast corner of the landscape garden was just one of them.

He took advantage of the opportunity to take care of the landscape garden every week and hid a small gardener shovel in the bushes, ready for trouble.

But he never chose to leave.

Because for Li Weiyin, he had no reason to leave.

The frog who had been full of hope for the small starry sky above his head and struggled to climb out of the well was horrified to find that there was a huge game market around the well... Li Weiyin didn't think it was a romantic story.

In short, in the end, he could not suppress himself, and as Lan Silin wished, solved the first puzzle.

He had to admit that whether it was intentional or not, Lan Silin really grasped the biggest weakness in his character.

He is a patient with Asperger's disease. Asperger's disease is very different from autism. People with this type of symptoms can often show stronger thinking ability than their peers, but due to different ways of thinking, it is difficult for such people to have "normal communication" with normal people.

The biggest characteristic of Asperger's patients is that their behavioral patterns are rigid, their interests and hobbies are limited and special. When talking, this type of person often becomes very interested in certain obscene topics and keeps talking, but cannot develop an interactive awareness of "gladies" in the general sense. Simply put, it is impossible to chat.

So he deliberately suppressed his personality and became the "dumb" in the mouths of others.

But nature cannot be completely suppressed by acquired habits. Sometimes, the longer it is suppressed, the more likely it is to have side effects.

For Li Weiyin, the price of staying silent for a long time is that he habitually spends a lot of time thinking alone - thus developing a curiosity and desire to inquire far beyond the ordinary people.

Whether he wants to admit it or not, the puzzle given by Lan Silin is the rain in the desert, the last cigarette in the smoker's pocket, and the temptation of the demon that he cannot suppress with reason.

Although he had reminded himself countless times in his heart that there would inevitably be an unpredictable trap behind this letter, he was still deeply trapped in it and could not control himself. He even kept thinking about the answer to "things are in the box" while running around the playground.

According to normal thinking, to successfully get "Tin Man" into your hands, you must go through the following stages:

1. Know what "things" are.

2. Understand where it is stored.

3. Find the custodian of the item.

4. Find a way to get it.

These four links are progressing layer by layer, and none of them are indispensable. Each step further will increase the difficulty in geometric multiples. Li Weiyin deduced many strategies in his mind, but he eventually fell into a dead end.

Then, he tried to push back everything that was deduced in his mind, and began to think from the first place, and soon came up with a crazy idea.

Take a plan.

The inspiration for this strategy actually comes from the prompt left by Lan Silin in the letter:

The puzzle is the answer.

For the first puzzle, the puzzle is undoubtedly "things are in the box."

When Li Weiyin deleted a series of complex considerations such as "what is the thing", "where is the box", "how to take out the thing", etc., it seemed like a brand new door in front of him was opened.

This puzzle gives too few clues. If you go step by step, it can be said to be extremely complicated.

And when he thinks in reverse, he will find something incredible:

What Lan Silin wants to hint is that there can be many clues, but only this one is enough.

——Li Weiyin only needs to know that "things are in the box", which is enough.

Because Lan Silin once took out that book, if the "thing" refers to "Tin Man", it means that he put "Tin Man" back.

If this is a certain fact, then there is a high probability that he got the book through deception. Because in terms of the security of Kanglong Academy, theft is basically unfeasible.

If Lan Silin is cheating, there will inevitably be "victims".

The first step in Li Weiyin's plan was to find the victim Instructor Wang through the ambiguous saying "I know the matter about the tin man."

Then, all he had to do was to follow the tricks.

Using the "victim"'s vigilance against Lan Silin, he further spreads panic, so that Instructor Wang believes that the password is indeed true, and he can get the book "Tin Man" as the decoder.

This entire plan only requires the clue of "things are in the box". As long as you find the person Lan Silin has deceived, you can design him to take him to find the "place where the box is stored" or even "open the box".

It's like a level-breaking game with complex mechanisms and full of dead flags. According to the rules, it may take a lot of time and energy. But Li Weiyin's situation is different. Before him, someone had already passed the game, and what he needed to do was to use the account that unlocked all the levels and complete the operation of jumping directly.

But this plan also has its drawbacks. His contact with "Tin Man" was only 20 minutes short.

What can I do in 20 minutes? You can watch an animation episode, drink a cup of coffee, do two sets of eye exercises, smoke four cigarettes, and soak five bowls of noodles.

But reading - for ordinary people, twenty minutes is not even enough to finish a third of a book.

Fortunately, the book "Tin Man" is a fairy tale picture book that focuses on pictures.

Fortunately, he is Li Weiyin.

To use the book as a decoding tool without it, you must memorize it word by word and completely. But the situation Li Weiyin faced is even more serious, because the password set by Lan Silin is a character-segmented password, and the arrangement and layout of the entire book will affect the number of pages.

In other words, Li Weiyin cannot memorize the text in the book simply. He must rely on image memory to carefully remember the location of every page, every paragraph and every word in the book.

This is why, even though he was as smart as he, he repeatedly looked back at the memory several times after leaving the mountain chief's room, confirming that there was no mistake.

He did it. He perfectly cracked the first puzzle in a nearly cheating, beyond imagination, and got clues to the second puzzle.

But this second clue is far more outrageous than he expected.
