The male protagonist survives in the infinite game by supporting his wife

Chapter 214: Brick City Race (13)

Moving in the air to kill monsters was very efficient. The four of them fought until dawn, and all the buildings in two blocks were gone.

The ground was covered with black and gold liquid, and there were melting ice crystals on it.

Jiang Yu raised his arms and stretched lazily with satisfaction, "The points I earned in one night are enough for my retirement. This is really a good place for rheumatism."

With the crystal and the points, she knew she would win the points race and could relax.

"The monsters behind are all combined, so I still lost." Shi Jinzhe said with a little regret, "I was just a few short of a perfect number, but it's a pity that it's already dawn."

He looked towards Sheh, it was really inconvenient to have someone around.

【Ding--】

[Congratulations to the players in zone 1782 for killing a total of monsters. The system has determined that you are eligible to obtain hidden clues. Now we will give you the location clues of the thirteenth special crystal stone. If you successfully obtain the hidden crystal stone and complete the hidden task of this copy, you will get the right to unlock the skills in the original world. ]

When Shi Jinzhe stopped buying props, there was still the thirteenth piece?

After waiting for a while, he prepared to wait until the system had distributed all the clues before clicking the purchase button.

After a long time, a card fell into Shi Jinzhe's hand.

He waited for a while to make sure that it was just this one card before he felt relieved to buy the flying prop worth 14,000 points. After buying it, he asked Sheh, "Is there anything you need?"

"No, but I'm hungry."

I bought a bunch of snacks for Sheh, and then picked up the card and looked at it.

[I have to kill one person every day for ten consecutive days so that the world will not end. But when I killed the ninth person, I was arrested. Thirteen is indeed an unlucky number.]

"Is this the only sentence on the clue card?" Sheh didn't expect that this was a clue that he needed to find the answer himself.

"Yes, one hundred thousand points." Shi Jinzhe handed the card over, "The clue to the thirteenth special crystal, take a look, do you have any ideas?"

Jiang Yu was puzzled: "There is a thirteenth piece?"

Shi Jinzhe: "Yes, the thirteenth piece that was hidden."

Shekh finished reading and then asked, "What does it mean that thirteen is an unlucky number?"

Shi Jinzhe: "In the West, the number thirteen has a bad connotation. Just like our Chinese zodiac, there are many symbols in the West that are based on twelve, such as the twelve gods, the twelve constellations, and the twelve disciples. But once there is an extra thirteenth person, the extra number often represents disaster, death, taboo, and betrayal."

Jiang Yu: "That's right. Many cultures have this in common. Twelve is a large number. When twelve plus one is added, the extra number will make people think it is unpredictable."

She pulled out a card from the props that Shekh had never seen before. "The thirteenth card of the Tarot, the Death card."

Then he pulled out another book. "The thirteenth zodiac sign not recognized by astrology, Ophiuchus, represents the murdered god of medicine, Asclepius."

Shi Jinzhe also said: "In addition to myths, there are also religious legends, such as the so-called Friday the 13th and the most well-known story of the 13th disciple betraying Jesus, etc."

Jiang Yu nodded: "Yes, that's right. Let's not talk about myths and legends. Just look at the Apollo moon landing program abroad. Didn't it explode on the 13th?"

"But thirteen is sometimes an auspicious number in the East and in Buddhism." Jiang Yinxue listened to it for a while before speaking:

"Thirteen escapes the cycle of reincarnation. It is the number of the emperor. Only the emperor can use this number. Since the thirteenth crystal is special, the world may have become like this because the most important one was hidden by someone."

"If it was really hidden by someone, I don't know whether it was intentional or not. If it was intentional, then this is an energy imbalance caused by greed." Shi Jinzhe sighed, "In a sense, its uniqueness has led to the disaster and turned itself into an unlucky thing."

He remembered that the news he looked up always mentioned twelve crystals, and people might not even realize that there was a thirteenth crystal.

The three of them chattered a lot, and Sheh almost understood: "So when this person was arrested, something happened that made him think of the unfortunate number thirteen."

Jiang Yu: "It may be because of the number of people who arrested him, or because of what he saw, that he has such an exclamation."

"It should be the date." Shi Jinzhe pointed to the first sentence on the card. "If he kills ten people in a row, one every day, he will definitely look at the calendar and calculate the starting and ending dates."

Sheikh: "That means he was captured on the 13th, killed nine, and then moved forward to the 5th, where he started killing the first person."

She looked at the other three people: "So do these two numbers have other meanings?"

"Four and nine... and thirteen." Shi Jinzhe paused for a moment and asked, "Do you know that there were ten days missing in October of 1582?"

Sheikh was very interested in things he didn’t understand: “Tell me about it.”

Shi Jinzhe: "The Pope of Rome changed the Gregorian calendar, and because there was a difference between the old calendar and the old calendar, there were ten extra days, so in October 1582, the ten days from 10th to 5th were deleted, and the 14th came directly after the 4th.

The number four is considered unlucky because of its pronunciation, and October 1582, 10 was a Friday, which is also an unlucky number in the West. The ten days missing from these two numbers are the time when he committed the crime.

Jiang Yu complained: "I didn't expect that this is still an idealist criminal who deceives himself."

"1582.10.5.9.13." Shekh read out the key numbers. "These are very similar to the coordinates you taught me. At first glance."

Shi Jinzhe: "As for coordinates, these few numbers can only give an approximate location. If you want the exact location, you need a few more digits after the decimal point. If you want to be specific about the building, the longitude and latitude must be at least nine digits."

Sheikh: "Then add the numbers between 5 and 14."

Jiang Yu reminded: "You can use the guide pointer I gave you to locate the target and input more. The more specific the image is, the more accurate the answer will be."

Shi Jinzhe took out the prop guiding pointer and used a prop that increased luck before taking action.

When I tried the fourth number, a church appeared on the virtual screen where the pointer was guided.

The route leads to a metal block behind the statue inside the church.

The angle was tricky and the location was cramped, and there was nothing there except a lot of dust.

"It's right here." Shi Jinzhe held the pointer. "The specific coordinates of the previous test were either empty or impossible to search. This location is very precise, and it's a place like a church, so the probability is very high."

After determining the target location, several people did not even sleep and accelerated towards the church.

In the morning, the temperature rose, but the second collapse did not come yet, and no one wanted to waste time.

As the sun was reaching its highest point, a church appeared at the end of the road.

It is ordinary and not very big. It cannot be compared with those churches that serve as tourist attractions. It has no artistic sculptures and no gorgeous stained glass. It is just an ordinary church.
