The Card Maker of Time Travel

Compared to Wen Yiji and Ji Numin who stayed up all night because of their anger, the two of Murong's family fought all night.

"Who is this Tang Shen? The analysis of military insights is quite subtle and accurate." Gu Chen pointed to the military observation section on the inner page of the newspaper ten years ago. There were many people's views on the battle at that time, but this belonged to Tang Shen. Shen's view is the most subtle, and the speculation on the development of the war situation is also the most consistent.

Murong Zhuoqi didn't know why Gu Chen was suddenly interested in this, so he leaned over to take a look, and said, "This person has a mixed reputation. He was originally the chief of staff of the [-]th Army of the Federation, and he was also a very powerful person. At the fifth level of a card master, but very good at combat arrangements."

"Have a mixed reputation?"

"Tang Shen is a person who is greedy for fame and fortune. He doesn't care about military medals or anything. He just wants money. I don't know if it's because he was born too poor. Later, he voluntarily resigned from the position of chief of staff and became a military critic. , appearing on the TV stations of the major interstellar networks, you can see him if you watch similar programs. My father's evaluation of him is that he is a talent that cannot be reused."

"Oh." Gu Chen nodded. "I don't think he's really greedy for money. It's just a law of survival."

Murong Zhuoqi was puzzled.

"You think, he came from a poor family, and he is only a fifth-level magic card master. In this place where the magic card master card maker is respected, he has reached the position of chief of staff of the [-]th Federation Army by relying on his military skills. Wouldn't it be embarrassing?"

"fear?"

"The so-called master of meritorious service, the sixteenth federal army can achieve so many achievements, largely because of his combat deployment. Then when people all look at his military talent, those who are above him will how to think?"

When Gu Chen talked about what he was good at, he suddenly started talking non-stop.

"I read a story before. An emperor named Yingzheng and a general named Wang Jian. Before a great battle, Wang Jian led his army to leave and then rode back to ask for good land, and then sent his son to ask for a beautiful house for the second time. The third time he sent someone to ask for a hunting ground. At that time, Wang Jian’s subordinates and his son thought that Wang Jian’s repeated asking for land and homes before his departure was a general’s style, and they were very puzzled. However, Wang Jian told his son in private that Ying Zheng sent the army Leave it to him, if he doesn't do this, can Ying Zheng rest assured? If he does this, Ying Zheng won't feel that he has a different heart. If he has, then after he seizes the world, everything will be his own, so why ask others? want?"

Murong Zhuoqi listened to Gu Chen telling the story with a serious expression, her eyes were smiling like crescent moons. "And that's what you read in that book you found when you were a kid?"

Gu Chen heard the teasing from the other party.

He knew that he must have exposed a lot of flaws. How could the other party be so smart that he didn't notice it at all.And my excuses are so bad that I feel a little guilty when I say them, but the other party never asks, gives him enough respect, and tells him not to show his feet in front of outsiders.This thoughtfulness moved Gu Chen very much.

"This is...another book." Gu Chen didn't bother to think of excuses, so he said casually.

Murong Zhuoqi didn't go to ask, but took a small stack of newspapers that Gu Chen had sorted out.

"You're right. Maybe what he did was to protect his own life. This kind of thing is a personal choice. Others can't understand the heart of the person involved.

But what you said is the master of high gong, that's really not the case.The Marshal of the Sixteenth Army was Wen Zhiqin, a good friend of my father and uncle of Wen Yiji's mentor.He is not a person who is jealous of talents, he has always taken good care of talents. "

Gu Chen nodded, and then looked at the pile of newspapers that had been cut out. "But I always feel that there is something wrong with what he wrote, but I can't tell."

Murong Zhuoqi looked through it, and didn't find anything unusual.

These are some views on the deployment of troops and the development of the war in the tide of alien beasts. If there is anything unusual, Tang Shen’s judgment is very accurate. , Tang Shen's judgment is well-founded and convincing.

"I have to admit that he is indeed a very good military strategy talent." Murong Zhuoqi said.

Gu Chen glanced again, but still felt that something was wrong.

Outside the window, the sky has turned pale.

"Let's rest first." Murong Zhuoqi tidied up the materials on the ground and said to Gu Chen.

For some reason, Gu Chen's mind flashed the image of the two sleeping in each other's arms.Obviously, they used to sleep together in the secret realm a lot, but now the relationship between the two has been broken, and some getting along with each other has become awkward.

"Go to sleep in my room, I'll sleep in the guest room." Murong Zhuoqi saw his hesitation.

Gu Chen didn't sleep well this time, all kinds of wild thoughts were running in his mind, so when there was a slight sound from outside the room, Gu Chen woke up immediately.

Gu Chen went downstairs and saw Murong Zhuoqi sitting at the dining table, holding a newspaper in his hand, and there were broken dinner plates on the floor.

"What's wrong?" Gu Chen's drowsiness hadn't subsided yet, and he looked at him in a daze.

Murong Zhuoqi handed over the newspaper in his hand with a complicated expression.

This is a newspaper from a few days ago.Murong Zhuoqi seldom paid attention to current affairs because of the strange beast forest incident on campus before, but today he casually flipped through the piles of newspapers that he hadn't read in a while, and found a piece of news.

Gu Chen took the newspaper.

The news on the front page of the newspaper was still that a certain federation meeting was held, but Gu Chen always ignored it automatically. He continued to scroll down, and then paused.

It was a notice to solicit witnesses. A man in a villa area in Central Star died tragically at home. His mental power was emptied and his body was divided into corpses. The nature was extremely bad.

And this victim was Tang Shen, the military commentator who Gu Chen was a little curious about last night.

How could it be such a coincidence that I turned to the information ten years ago and found a special person, and the person died.

Gu Chen's expression was unbelievable: "Is it...a coincidence?"

Murong Zhuoqi clenched his fist and pressed it to his chin. "Maybe, what does this person have to do with what happened ten years ago? Or, what does he know? But now that the person is dead, there is no way to verify it."

For the first time, the always pleasant dining atmosphere has become so dull.Both of them were silently pawing at the food on the table.

"Newspaper." Gu Chen said suddenly, and the hand that was putting the millet porridge into his mouth suddenly stopped.

Murong Zhuoqi put down his chopsticks and looked at him puzzled.

"I always feel that there is something wrong with the military commentary in that newspaper." Gu Chen said.

Murong Zhuoqi didn't make a sound, not wanting to disturb him.Gu Chen also said this sentence last night, Murong Zhuoqi has always trusted Gu Chen's sixth sense.

Gu Chen thought for a long time without a clue, and scratched his hair in confusion.

Murong Zhuoqi got off the seat, walked to Gu Chen's side, and gently pressed his head from behind. "Relax, take a rest, this is not the way to do it, I will accompany you to read the newspaper again later."

Gu Chen's sensitive spot is on the head, he knows this very well, because before time-traveling, he really liked to go to the barber shop to wash his hair, in fact, it was to enjoy the extra head massage service.Now that Murong Zhuoqi's fingers were just moving over his head, the otaku quickly forgot what he was thinking just now, and was immersed in a kind of pleasure.

But the little otaku man is not the kind of person who gets carried away when he feels comfortable, not to mention that the latter person is not a brother to him.After they finished their breakfast, they went back to the study and flipped through the pile of newspapers that Gu Chen found last night.

Murong Zhuoqi didn't bother him, but logged on to the interstellar network, searched and downloaded some Tang Shen's information, hoping to help Gu Chen find clues.

As time passed by, Gu Chen had read over and over the twenty newspapers in front of him more than a dozen times, but still had no clue.

Murong Zhuoqi gently kneaded his temples from behind, and comforted him softly: "It's nothing, just take a rest first."

Gu Chen shook his head. "Tell me why I am so stupid. It would be great if I were like Sherlock Holmes."

kindness?

Holmes?

Gu Chen suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Yes, he can try to make character cards to solve the problem.Although the character cards produced will still be linked to the card making rules of this world, how will you know if you won't succeed if you don't try it? It's much better than thinking about it here.

I told Murong Zhuoqi what I thought, although Murong Zhuoqi didn't know who Gu Chen was talking about, she still looked at him with encouraging eyes.

Gu Chen took out the white card, sat on the ground, thinking about what card to construct.

Holmes?Akechi Kogoro?Kindaichi Kosuke?Poirot?

In the end, Gu Chen decided to make Bao Zheng.

I have read too many stories about Bao Zheng, and Gu Chen constructs cards very smoothly, with an endless supply of mental power and a very clear mind.

Soon, a card landed on the ground, Gu Chen seemed to be exhausted, leaning his back against the bookcase, sweating profusely.

Murong Zhuoqi fed Gu Chen two cups of tea, thoughtfully helped him dry off his sweat, and then scanned the cards with the card presenter.

Card Name: Bao Zheng (two-star card)

Skill [-]: The bright moon hangs high.When this skill is activated, the attack power of one's side is doubled, and there is a certain chance to trigger the special skill 'Bright Moon in the Forehead'. Triggering the special skill will continue to produce blood loss effect and make the enemy's vision black.When this skill is launched in non-combat state, it can be illuminated.

Skill [-]: See the details clearly.Activate this skill to break the enemy's camouflage.Only works on [-]-star and below cards.When this skill is launched in non-combat state, abnormality can be found.

Skill Three: Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness.Activate this skill to obtain the state of Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness.In this state, the blood volume is doubled.There is a certain chance to summon Nanxia Zhanzhao or Beixia Ouyangchun to launch powerful physical attacks.

Murong Zhuoqi handed the card showing the data to Gu Chen, Gu Chen glanced at it, and hurriedly handed it to Murong Zhuoqi. "Quickly activate the second skill to try."

Soon, Bao Zheng was summoned, with a face like black ink and a crescent moon on his forehead.

Gu Chen collected the newspapers scattered on the ground and put them in front of Baogong.

The summoned card didn't move. Just when Gu Chen thought it had no effect, Bao Gong took out a brush, drew a bunch of circles on the newspaper, and then disappeared.

Gu Chen looked at Murong Zhuoqi, thinking that the other party had stopped activating the cards.

"The skill effect of the two-star card is limited, and the skill effect activated now is probably the ultimate of this card." Murong Zhuoqi explained.

Gu Chen nodded, yes, if the investigation of the case is really as clear as Bao Gong, then it will be too smooth.Gu Chen picked up the newspaper that Bao Zheng had circled just now.

"Yes, that's it, I'll just say what's wrong." Gu Chen clapped his hands and said with a look of sudden realization.

Gu Chen spread out the newspaper and pointed to the circled area.

"You see, Tang Shen's language skills are very good, and all the articles are very fluent, which is typical of no nonsense, concise and concise. But if you look at his articles, except for the first comment and the last comment, all the articles There are numbers in it. This number is indeed necessary. For example, in the first article, it was two years ago, the 28th Army and the [-]th galaxy. It seems to be a normal description, not abrupt, but you look at all these There are more than two dozen comments in each article, and there are exactly three numbers in each article."

Murong Zhuoqi took the newspaper, and opened it one by one. The pages circled by Bao Zheng's card were very conspicuous, and there happened to be three of each.

"This... shouldn't be a coincidence." Murong Zhuoqi frowned.

Gu Chen looked at the newspaper, and based on the accumulated experience of many detective novels he had read in the past, he said: "I guess, this is a common password, and these numbers should correspond to the page number, number of lines and digits of a book. , Has Tang Shen said which book he likes the most?"

"Wait a minute, I'll check." Murong Zhuoqi logged into StarInternet, downloaded all the text and video materials of Tang Shen's public occasions, and then used the search engine to search for the title of the book, and finally listed 120 six books list.

"After all, Tang Shen is also a character who has been active on the screen for a long time. He recommends books and talks about his favorite books frequently. This is the list searched by the system. We enter the numbers of each sheet in order, and see See what the spelled sentence is." Murong Zhuoqi said.

Gu Chen nodded, and found that it is convenient to have a high-tech system, and there is no need to worry about looking through books one by one to find words.

Time passed by minute by minute.

"They are not coherent sentences." Murong Zhuoqi looked at the analyzed list.

"How about changing the order of the words?" Gu Chen asked.

Murong Zhuoqi printed out the analysis result and handed it to him. Gu Chen looked at it for a long time and found that it was really difficult to put together a sentence.

Gu Chen was a little tangled, and looked around the big study of Murong's house. "By the way! Maybe it's not a specific book, but some general books, such as the basic manual for card masters, the basic manual for card creators, or some books that every family will have."

Feeling that Gu Chen's idea is feasible, Murong Zhuoqi continued to search for related books.

There are quite a few books called basic books in Interstellar, and Murong Zhuoqi selected them one by one, from the parenting classics to basic general knowledge to brief history, etc., but Murong Zhuoqi selected all the books that were relatively common.

I can only be thankful that the level of technology in this world is still good, and the speed of searching for relevant characters after screening the books is not slow. Soon, another long analysis conclusion was printed out.

Gu Chen hurriedly stepped forward to check together, after a long time, the two sighed, but still found nothing.

"Is my thinking wrong?" Gu Chen looked at the stack of newspapers in front of him.

Murong Zhuoqi took him into his arms and stroked his broken hair. "No, your idea is correct, it's just that we haven't found the book yet."

"But there are so many books in the world, even if you can use the search to select the relevant characters, how can you read them all?" Gu Chen doesn't know how many books there are in this world, but based on his experience before time travel, sometimes writing books There are more people than people who buy books. The world is so complex that there must be countless types of books.

Murong Zhuoqi thought for a moment: "Why don't we go to Tang Shen's house and have a look?"

Gu Chen was a little surprised. It was reported in the newspaper that Tang Shen died tragically at home, and his mental power was exhausted, and he was divided into corpses. It was judged to be a vendetta.Because Tang Shen used to be a soldier. For soldiers, whether they are retired or active, in addition to the federal police, there will also be military investigation teams entering. At this time, Tang Shen's home must be heavily guarded.

Gu Chen's question was quickly answered: "After all, I have been retired for more than ten years. Although the federal regulations state that a military investigation team will be established, many of them are just passing through the scene. It is difficult to take actual actions. Most of them are The final investigation by the police is directly archived. On the other hand, even though it is a vicious case, the police will close the scene after the collection of the scene is completed, and the corpse and evidence left at the scene will be brought back, and no one will be assigned to guard it."

Gu Chen quickly diverted his thoughts: "Then what if a thief gets in?"

"This..." Murong Zhuoqi was suddenly overwhelmed by the question.The police judged that it was a vendetta, so it means that the property at the scene was not taken away. Although the police will take away some evidence, there must be a lot of property.Tang Shen was alone and had no relatives, so it seemed like a good opportunity to steal.

Murong Zhuoqi, who felt that she was suddenly led astray by Gu Chen, grabbed Gu Chen again, rubbed his hair for a while, and then patted him on the shoulder: "Take a rest, we will go there at night."
