It's not too much to say that a beauty is a little bit stronger

Every word Eve said was filled with temptations and implicit warnings.

There was a tense atmosphere in the air. Xiao Huai stood in front of the top-secret box, his eyes as calm as ever.

Xiao Huai raised his hand and opened the top-secret box without any hesitation.

He was calm and composed, after all, he had no reason to feel guilty.

Sure enough, there was a letter lying quietly in the box, with a line of words written on it in elegant handwriting: "Please ask the newly appointed police officer Xiao Huai to open it."

The envelope was sealed with wax, and the handwriting was exactly the same as the previous notice letter, undoubtedly the work of Kaito K.

Xiao Huai's memory was involuntarily pulled back to what happened when he first entered the game.

At that time, he received a tarot card. The man who gave him the tarot card was most likely the Kaito K.

Maybe that was not his true face, but Xiao Huai could vaguely feel that he had met him before.

But why did K only ask Xiao Huai to open this letter and not others? Xiao Huai couldn't help but wonder what K's goal was?

He smiled lightly. If K really had such great powers, then he should be able to see through the surveillance camera the scene of Xiao Huai, Lu Yuanshi and Fu Chuan entering the museum together.

Xiao Huai tore off the sealing wax and the envelope opened, but the contents inside made his eyebrows tremble slightly.

It was just an ordinary photo, a photo of the sea.

The photo looked like it had been cropped from a magazine cover; the corners weren't even neatly aligned, and there was nothing special about it.

Eve stood aside, staring at the photo.

Her brow furrowed slightly, obviously disappointed with the contents of the letter.

She originally thought there would be some more valuable clues, but she didn't expect that there was just such an ordinary photo inside.

The tension in the air seemed to dissipate a little at once, but in Xiao Huai's mind, he had more speculations.

Eve looked at the ordinary photo of the sea and felt speechless.

She picked up the photo and looked at it carefully for a long time, trying to find any clues in it, but neither the paper, the corners, nor the content of the photo showed anything unusual.

She couldn't help but start to wonder if this was K's prank.

Eve checked the photo several times and finally confirmed that there was nothing wrong with it. She sighed and said to Xiao Huai, "It seems there is nothing special for now. The alert can be appropriately lowered. You can go back and rest first."

Xiao Huai nodded, and when he was about to leave, his eyes suddenly fell on the photo again.

He picked up the photo casually.

Eve saw this, frowned, and asked, "Why did you take it away?"

Xiao Huai smiled faintly, a hint of relief in his eyes: "I quite like this photo, what's wrong? Can't I keep the things given to me?"

Eve looked at his harmless smile, and although she was still a little confused, it was just a seemingly harmless photo after all, so there seemed no need to stop him.

She shrugged slightly and relaxed her tone: "Whatever you want, it's nothing special anyway."

Xiao Huai nodded slightly, yawned, and left the room with the photo.

----

In this copy, no one can help Xiao Huai, everything depends on himself.

Xiao Huai returned to the dormitory. The light in the room was dim and warm, but his mind was on the inconspicuous photo of the sea.

In fact, he smelled a faint scent as early as when he opened the envelope.

The smell wasn't strong, but it caught his attention instantly.

He didn't show any strangeness, and it was quite amusing to see Eve's confused look.

Xiao Huai sat at the desk. He held the photo in his hand and looked at it carefully. On the surface, it looked very ordinary.

He remembered a special invisible ink principle. Some words can only be seen under specific conditions.

Xiao Huai bought a portable ultraviolet lamp from the system mall and pointed it at the surface of the photo.

As the ultraviolet light shines on the photo, the originally blank areas begin to show some faint marks.

Sure enough, K did not disappoint him.

A string of numbers gradually emerged on the back of the photo, hidden yet clear.

The number is "".

There is no pattern to this string of numbers.

Another new puzzle.

Xiao Huai stared at the string of numbers and began to analyze it quickly in his mind.

K chose to hide this string of numbers in the photo, so it is obvious that it is not a meaningless random combination.

Xiao Huai stared at the photo of the sea, his eyes thoughtful.

In what kind of magazines does this kind of scene, filled with a sense of vastness and freedom, usually appear?

His fingertips gently brushed the edge of the photo, his thoughts wandering.

The deep blue sea and the open sky reveal a yearning and desire for freedom.

It’s a scene often reminiscent of travel magazines, perhaps found in publications that encourage adventure and exploration.

Xiao Huai half closed his eyes, thinking about these possibilities.

After all, the sea symbolizes the endless distance, and people like K seem to have some similar meaning.

Always walking between freedom and shackles.

His thoughts lingered on this photo for a long time, and finally he sighed softly and put the photo away.

He turned around and lay back on the bed, his thoughts still lingering on the secrets behind the string of numbers and photos.

He knew that there were too many eyes watching here, and any slight movement might be magnified or even distorted.

So, Xiao Huai decided to go to a nearby newsstand early the next morning to look at travel magazines, hoping to find some clues related to the photo.

And that night, his mind was like the boundless ocean, with waves surging.

The next morning, the entire city was still immersed in a hazy sleep, but the chimes from every dormitory pierced the early morning silence and woke up all the players.

The sound was sharp and persistent, penetrating directly into the players' ears, with an urgency that could not be ignored.

The players sat up in bed one after another, with expressions of impatience and annoyance on their faces.

I feel grumpy when I wake up, no matter where I go.

Their eyes were confused and they were not yet fully awake, but the restlessness in their hearts was already rising.

"It's so noisy." A player muttered unhappily, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

"This is so annoying," another player threw back the quilt, sat down on the edge of the bed angrily, and scratched his messy hair with his fingers.

Soon, a call-up message was issued over the radio, requiring players to go to the museum and set traps according to the instructions of each team.

Although some people were a little impatient, they immediately entered the game state after hearing this sentence.

Despite the urgency of the mission, all players were allowed to go to the cafeteria for breakfast before the action.

Xiao Huai did not go to the cafeteria. He chose to set off with the others on an empty stomach.
