HBWnovel Chapter 202 Halloween Event - Pumpkin Mystery 5
Chapter 202 Halloween Event - Pumpkin Mystery 5
After finishing her night watch last night, Prefect Fia quietly returned to the dormitory in order not to disturb her roommate's sleep.
Although prefects can have single dormitories, considering the huge number of students in Hufflepuff House, all Hufflepuff prefects gave up the opportunity to have single dormitories and chose to live with their classmates.
It's just to free up more beds, so that the students can have more affluent living conditions, even if it's just a little bit.
Fiya, who was already sleeping late, woke up early under the influence of strong willpower.
Because Saturday is Halloween, Hogwarts celebrates Halloween every year, and as a prefect, she should help the professors and staff organize the Halloween party.
After Fia woke up, she got up immediately.
From the corner of the eye, he glanced at the room and found that there were some Halloween decorations such as pumpkins and spider webs in the room.
Because she returned to the dormitory very late and went to bed in the dark, Fia saw that although there were some extra things in the dormitory, she thought it was specially arranged by her roommate last night to celebrate Halloween.
(It’s still the same sentence, after Hogwarts changed to Halloween skin: other colleges→color changes; Hufflepuff→invalid decoration)
It wasn't until she quickly tidied herself up, came out of the bathroom, put on her wand, carried her small bag, and added a coat to herself, then walked to the door, stretched out her hand to grab the doorknob, and pulled hard——
Door: Still.jpg
Fia:? ? ?
Fia pulled harder——
Door: Still.jpg
Fia: The door lock is broken?
After discovering that the door couldn't be opened, Fiya's first reaction was that she didn't have enough sleep and didn't eat breakfast, so she was too weak to open the door, but this idea was quickly dispelled.
Fia tried her best to pull the doorknob again, but still made no progress.
The motionless door panel seemed to be laughing silently.
Before Fiya realized that something was wrong, a little pumpkin that had been eyeing Fia for a long time flew to Fia's side and rubbed her face.
Small pumpkin: (っo￣3￣)っ
Fei Ya: (*゜ー゜*)? ? ?
Then, under the guidance of the enthusiastic little pumpkin, Fia obtained information about the event.
Fia: щ(???)щ
Fei Ya immediately woke up her roommates, and mobilized them to work together to find clues.
After all the roommates established contact with the little pumpkin, the little ghost, the little bat, the little black cat... the locked door seemed to sense something, and it was confirmed that all the dormitory members had participated in the activity. .
Then, under the eyes of everyone, a square box appeared out of thin air on the door panel.
At first glance, the front of this square box has nine raised buttons, each of which is engraved with Roman numerals from one to nine.
On the right side of the square box is a row of black holes, roughly counting, no more, no less, a total of nine.
Fia and roommate: ...
Fiya, who is keen on reading mystery and detective books, quickly found clues in the fragmentary information that her roommates found everywhere.
Fia started from the extra pumpkin decorations in the room, and found three pumpkins that were obviously darker than the others. It was found that these three pumpkins were real pumpkins, and the other light-colored pumpkins were just decorations in the shape of pumpkins. .
They emptied the "belly" of the three real pumpkins, and took out a small cabbage, an eraser, and a copper Knut.
Fia and the roommates: ? ? ?
They started with the cabbage first.
The first reaction is quantity - snap off the cabbage leaves one by one and count the leaves.
But something like cabbage...
Everyone understands that the blades are all rolled together, no matter how meticulously they are "decomposed", the blades will always be damaged.
Add to this the fact that the leaves in the middle are too small to count, so the clue to the number of cabbage leaves comes to a dead end here.
And then there's the color—
color, color...
Fia: Does it matter if the pumpkin stem is green?
Finally, there is the type—cabbage is a vegetable, and they turned their attention to the breakfast prepared for them on the coffee table in the bedroom.
Then several people looked at the only large plate of cabbage salad lost in thought.
After falling down on the cabbage, they turned their attention to the eraser.
Everyone acted in unison to rummage through their schoolbags and find their own stationery, and then fell into an eerie silence in front of a small pile of strange stationery on the ground.
Fia: Is this reliable?I mean...the eraser is the clue given, and this pile of stationery is our own, there should be no connection between the two, right?Is it possible that the school will also come up with puzzles based on our personal stationery?
Everyone: ... (patting the head) You are right!
Then someone had an idea and said that the eraser eraser must be used to erase something.
So, under the watchful eyes of everyone, she took this eraser and wiped it on the surface of every object that did not belong to the dormitory, and the result——
nothing.jpg
Fia and Roommate: Bitterness.jpg
Eventually the eraser ended its short life in constant use—it was used up.
After the first two guests left,
The remaining copper Knut bears the hope of the entire dormitory.
They learned the lesson of the eraser and tried to find the extra things in the dormitory that were related to copper nuts, rather than all the things in the dormitory that were related to copper nuts.
The result is that there is no result!
The only thing that can be related to the material of copper Nat is the small metal star that is extra on the outside of the bed curtain and used for decoration—it belongs to metal.
Fia and roommate: a mess in my head.jpg
In the end, the idea of finding a blow was too confusing to find the next step.
Only then did Fiya shake her head vigorously, throwing out all the messy connections and thoughts in her mind, and began to focus on the detective books she had read.
Three unrelated items appearing in the same place, it should not be possible to point to multiple clues, it should be that the three items together point to the same next step.
Either each of the three items leads to the same clue, or the combination of the three items leads to the same clue.
Fu Ling's heartfelt Fiya had an idea, and hurriedly searched for the three pumpkins that had been "dismembered" by everyone.
finally--
Each pumpkin has a different number of leaves hanging on the stalk, one, two and three.
The directionality of different numbers is very clear. Fia hurriedly touched a quill on the ground, grabbed a piece of parchment that she didn't know belonged to, and began to write three words on the parchment:
cabbage
rubber (eraser)
coppernatter
Then it went smoothly, and when everyone couldn't remember which item was taken out of that pumpkin, Fia began to arrange and combine.
The first idea is to take the corresponding number of letters and combine them.
c, ca, cab;
r, ru, rub;
c, co, cop.
After taking out the materials that meet the requirements, they are combined and arranged in different orders.
*+**+***
*+***+**
**+*+***
**+***+*
***+*+**
***+**+*
Obviously the first idea has too many permutations, and the formed words don't exist.
So they began to deduce the second idea-take the letters of the corresponding digits and arrange them.
c, a, b;
r, u, b;
c, o, p.
Divide the letters into three groups according to the same item, and combine them with different digits between different groups. Finally, according to the first letter "c" of "cabbage", the second letter "u" of "rubber" and "coppernatter" "'s third letter "p" and got the answer of "cup".
cup→cup
Then a group of them crowded around the coffee table, each of them holding a breakfast cup and began to reason in the next step.
After discovering a "fragment" of a constellation pattern appeared at the bottom of a cup where all the liquid in the cup had been drunk, they all acted in unison, "gudong gudong" and drank boldly, gulping down all the liquid in the cup.
Then everyone racked their brains, and after finding that the constellation clues given seemed to be related to the content of the thesis assigned by the astronomy professor this week, they began to frantically flip through this week's astronomy class notes.
Fia: Oh shit!Slapped in the face!I said before that the clues given in the event had nothing to do with everyone's personal belongings, but it didn't take long before I was severely slapped in the face!
According to the astronomy class notes, they found the test site mentioned by the professor in class, and then obtained a string of date information based on the star map mentioned in the test site.
Then they pressed a series of numbers on the square box on the door according to this date information.
"Clap."
As the last number was pressed, a crisp mechanical sound made them hold their breath nervously.
"Squeak-"
The door of the bedroom opened slowly.
------
The way Fei Ya and the others push clues in a panic for no reason is just like me when my thoughts flew out of the sky when I was playing the escape room.
Fia's bedroom is one of the regular ways to play this event. Let's look at some unconventional and different ways to play later.
……
"Pumpkin Mystery" event setting patch:
1. The secret room was formed last night after the house-elves placed things at the door of each dormitory.
2. The light curtain feedback screen only appeared after the little wizards in the entire dormitory had established contact with the little pumpkins.
After the little wizard wakes up, the little pumpkins take the initiative to check whether the little wizard’s state is awake, and if sober, establish contact with the little wizard (the moment the connection is established means that the student is participating in the activity at this time); after the connection is established (the little wizard has After "following pets"), the room will determine whether every little wizard in the room has participated in the activity (that is, whether everyone has "following pets"). After confirming all participation, it will start to search for the outfit of each little wizard Whether it is appropriate (if it is too private, the little pumpkin will remind you), then a square box will appear on the door panel, and at the same time, on the light curtain of the principal's office, the grid belonging to the dormitory will light up, showing the interior of the dormitory picture.
Of course, based on the protection of privacy, some things will be intelligently blurred by the light curtain.
So you don't have to worry about whether the professors will violate the privacy of the light curtain, if you ask, there will be no problems, and they will be handled well!
