The third victim was in a different situation from the first two. He had a more violent temper. He didn't say any nonsense at that time, and didn't care about riddles or not. He just rushed up with a fruit knife. As a result, The sphinx deftly avoided his assassination, and then used its claws to leave three scratches on his face.
Just like it did to the unlucky guy who answered the wrong question before, when its life was threatened this time, it only used this method to punish it, and did not take the opportunity to take the life of the third victim. At the same time, after the attack was completed, Then he disappeared.
The above is the sphinx riddle incident that has been uploaded on the forum recently.
It is said that similar situations have occurred among ordinary people who are not gamers, but most of the statements from the victims are just regarded as urban legends, and are also regarded as sand sculptures by enthusiastic friends.
Like the second victim before, the scratches on their bodies were also identified as being caused by ordinary dogs. They could only consider themselves unlucky, spend money to eliminate the disaster, and get rabies vaccinations.
…………
Zhang Heng already had a rough understanding of the current situation and what Shen Xixi was looking for.
After the battle with Light Arc, although the alliance has been basically disbanded, Shen Xixi has not stopped what he has been doing. Although this riddle incident is not too serious, it has indeed disrupted the lives of ordinary people. Shen Xixi is sure Want to solve this problem.
However, without the support of the coalition, she is probably a bit stretched in terms of manpower, and the reason why she wants to find a driver is easy to understand. Judging from the information collected before, the thing is obviously moving very fast. .
It is almost impossible for ordinary people to catch up on two legs.
From the current point of view, the risk of this incident is not high. As a driver, you don't even need to participate in front-line battles, so Zhang Heng did not refuse to help with this small favor.
He turned off the computer and went to the Carving Time Cafe in the Food Alley.
This place is a bit similar to the predecessor of those Internet celebrity stores today. A lot of thought was put into the decoration, and every corner has a literary and artistic atmosphere. At its peak, it opened many branches. However, with the increase of similar cafes , including the impact of new retail coffee and the increase in various costs, it is increasingly unsustainable. Now it is operating in a bleak manner, and there was a wave of store closures some time ago.
There were not many people in this store. As soon as Zhang Heng walked in, he saw Li Bai, who was sitting swaggeringly at a table in the middle, drinking a glass of juice. When he saw Zhang Heng, he immediately stood up and greeted Zhang Heng warmly.
Zhang Heng pointed at his hair, "Why is it dyed red?"
"I was watching Slam Dunk recently, and Sakuragi Hanamichi's hair is red. Rabbit said that I'm as stupid as Sakuragi, so I just imitated him and dyed my hair red. How about it? It's very handsome." Li Bai was delighted. touching his hair.
"How should I put it...it's quite retro." Li Bai's red hair reminded Zhang Heng involuntarily of the love-burial family that was popular all over the country when he was a child.
After a brief greeting, Li Bai introduced Zhang Heng into a cubicle.
As soon as the door was opened, the inside was filled with smoke. In addition to Shen Xixi and Rabbit, there were five other people, three men and two women, two of whom were heavy smokers. They directly ignored the anti-smoking regulations in public places and made the compartment look like Penglai Wonderland. Likewise, there were at least a dozen cigarettes in the ashtray in front of him.
One of the men with a crew cut raised his head and glanced at Zhang Heng, "It's so impressive. It kept us waiting for so long."
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Zhang Heng to answer, he said impatiently to Shen Xixi on the side, "Okay, everyone is here, let's start."
Shen Xixi looked apologetic towards Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng didn't care, he found a stool and sat down.
Li Bai closed the door, and Shen Xixi said seriously, "Everyone should have learned about the general situation on the Internet. What we have to deal with this time is probably the Sphinx in Greek mythology. Everyone knows the story of the Sphinx. , Oedipus answered its riddle, causing it to jump off a cliff and commit suicide, but this trick has now been proven to be ineffective. The Sphinx's riddle is not difficult to guess, but even if we guess the riddle, it just leaves. That’s all.”
Shen Xixi paused, looked around, and continued, "But the good news is that this Sphinx is not as strong as in myths and legends. It can block a city by itself. Its size should be close to that of an adult Caucasus." The fighting power of dogs is about the same at present. The main method of attack is scratching. Because it has the body of a lion, its limbs are very strong and it also has wings. However, so far, no witnesses have seen it fly. However, to be cautious, we assume that its wings are It works."
After speaking, Shen Xixi turned on the projector and projected a city map on the wall.
"I mapped the locations of three victims and interviewed regular people who had posted online before, so I could map out its range."
Shen Xixi drew several red circles on the map, and finally connected them with straight lines. It happened to be a triangular area located outside the Fourth Ring Road.
"This place is not small." A woman with a choker around her neck extinguished her cigarette and said.
"Yes, this is why I want to cooperate with you." Shen Xixi said, "According to my previous strength analysis, this action plan is tentatively decided to attack by force. When the time comes, we will disperse and be at least as close to each other as possible. A teammate must stay within a distance that can be reached within one minute. That thing always only targets lone people. If someone is targeted by it, he will immediately contact other people, and then delay for one minute, waiting for other teammates to arrive. Support, be careful, no matter how stupid the puzzle is, don’t tell the correct answer, otherwise it will disappear immediately.”
"Because the target's weaknesses are not yet clear, we have prepared a variety of weapons for tonight's operation, including but not limited to stun guns, tranquilizer guns, gasoline, water cannons, fishing nets, as well as two crossbows and sabers. What do you have? Weapons can also be worn. As for clothes, although the weather has started to heat up now, I still strongly recommend that everyone choose clothes that can cover the whole body and have comfortable fabrics. If you really can’t find them, you can come to me to get canvas work clothes.”
"No need to be verbose, we don't need others to teach us how to fight." The crew-cut man's patience was indeed average.
"Simon." Shen Xixi looked at Zhang Heng again, "You keep maneuvering in the car. If everything goes well, you don't have to do anything tonight, but if that thing escapes from our encirclement, it will be up to you to chase it. But you don’t need to be too nervous. So far, it’s not very destructive. If it really gets away, we can just take action again.”
Zhang Heng nodded to express understanding.
