The flying car traveled all the way, and Shen Yi sat on the car, his chin was supported with his right hand, and his brows were tightly locked, as if he was thinking about something.

Everyone now knows him and knows that whenever he looks like this, he must be thinking about something important, so no one dares to disturb him.

After a long while, Shen Yi asked, "Yiyu, how far is it from the main goal?"

"Ten minutes away. ”

"Have you been tracked?"

"Yes, Purple Moon returns, the Empire's satellites are spying on us. ”

"Find a way to get rid of them. ”

"Huh?" Zhou Yiyu said in surprise: "Aren't we going to spread the war to the main target?"

"Plan changes, don't take this step for now. Shen Yi shook his head and said, "Let's stop here today." ”

Hong Lang looked at each other a few times, and looked at Shen Yi gently: "Why did the plan change suddenly?"

"The other side may have found out, and I think we may have overlooked one person. ”

"Who?"

"Xie Rongjun. ”

Edmund and the others jumped out of the car in advance, giving Shen Yi a warning, making him realize that the Purgatory Sect might see through some of his actions.

After thinking about it repeatedly, Shen Yi finally put his suspicion on Xie Rongjun.

Shen Yi is not ignorant of Xie Rongjun's traceability ability, but some things are indeed not preventable if you know them. Retrospection has its own limitations, and it is only possible to trace what happened in the past time period when a point of value is identified.

Because of this, Shen Yi didn't think that Xie Rongjun could do anything with retrospective at first, until Edmund and others jumped out of the car, making him realize that he might still underestimate Xie Rongjun.

He knows himself too well.

This forced Shen Yi to modify part of the plan and temporarily stop the strategy of the main target, otherwise he did not dare to guarantee whether Xie Rongjun would see his intentions.

"We need a better plan. Shen Yi said.

Zhou Yiyu looked at each other and shrugged his shoulders: "Okay then, but what does the Imperial Garrison say over there?"

Shen Yi replied: "This is simple, add some game content, and we will make it into an enhanced version." If the Sect of Purgatory already knows about our connection to the Empire, let them run after the Empire for a while. ”

――――――――

Garo Air Terminal.

Director Edward Jones, who looked like a butcher with a sideways face, stood in front of the locker number 1461 and looked at his subordinates with a gloomy face: "How is it? Can you force it open?"

A lockpicking expert shook his head with a look of embarrassment: "I've already tested it with a molecular instrument, sorry sir, that bastard was right, unless we don't want clues, we must use passwords." ”

"Isn't it okay to use the Force to control it?"

The other shook his head.

Edward Jones turned around and yelled, "Did our guessing experts get the problem done?" Hurry up, we must solve that damn riddle!"

"I'm afraid it's unlikely. One of his subordinates replied boldly: "The riddle expert said that the mystery component of this riddle is too wide, and the real riddle should be quite pertinent and irreplaceable, so as to become a clue to deduce the mystery." But the riddles woven by the bastard himself have too many directions. To be exact, it's not that you can't find the answer, but that there may be too many answers. ”

"So they can't solve the problem?"

"Not necessarily. Everyone has their own way of thinking, and if you know enough about that guy, you may be able to find out some characteristics from his habits. The question is...... We don't really know each other. ”

Edward Jones was completely furious: "It's, I want the answer! The answer, not the excuse to shirk responsibility! Do you want me to use this reason to explain to the emperor why the empire has not been able to catch that separatist until now?"

The subordinate was also visibly nervous: "Guess the expert gave three answers, but I can't be sure if it's true." ”

"Then let's try!"

So far, the director can only do it once.

The password to the locker is very simple, just a three-digit number, and if it weren't for the serious consequences of entering the wrong secret, even if it was just a thousand attempts, you would have been able to find the answer.

The subordinate quickly went up to enter the password, and with the input of these three numbers, the password disk turned slightly, making a snapping sound, and just when everyone thought that the cabinet was opened, the cabinet made a cold voice: "The password is entered incorrectly." ”

"Damn!" Edward Jones stamped.

The subordinate trembled visibly, and then entered the password a second time, and the wrong sound made him fall into an ice cave.

He wanted to try a third time, but Edward Jones was not stupid, pulled his man away, and yelled at him, "We only have three chances, do you want to waste the last chance?"

The subordinate suddenly felt extremely aggrieved, and thought to himself, didn't you ask me to do it?

Fortunately, someone came to relieve the siege at this time.

A clone soldier hurried over: "Sir, the call from the Imperial Security Center, they said they might be able to help. ”

Edward Jones turned around: "What help?"

"The controlling mastermind of the security center was once tried to infiltrate by this group of splinters, but was repelled by Purple Moon's defenses. Purple Moon has collected some information about this group of people, and it is possible to solve the riddle from their behavior patterns. ”

"Connect me to the Purple Moon!"

The next moment, Purple Moon's voice came: "Hello, Chief Edward Jones, Purple Moon is happy to serve you. ”

"Tell me, can you crack this riddle and find out?"

"I can't, sir, I can only make the most optimal analysis based on the information I already have, and give the most probable conclusion. But the specific results are not within my control. ”

Edward Jones sighed: "Understood, then do your best, our guessing experts are no longer reliable, and there is one last chance left." ”

"Yes sir. I noticed that at the time when the separatists were trying to invade me, an ancient language was used, Old Earth. ”

"Old Earth language?" Edward Jones was visibly stunned.

After entering the interstellar age, due to the needs of rapid development, human beings have already developed a new universal language of the universe. When Shen Yi and others entered the Star Wars world, they all exchanged this language. In contrast, Chinese and English are both Paleo-Earth languages in the interstellar age, and almost no one has mastered them in modern society.

"Yes, sir. Ziyue had already replied expressionlessly.

"Do you think they could be some Returnee?"

In the interstellar era, there were also some extremists who always called for a return to the home planet, the earth, believing that the earth, as the origin of mankind, should become the eternal core symbol. However, for both the Galactic Empire and the Galactic Republic, the existence of these returnees is neither dangerous nor meaningful, but they did not expect to encounter a group of "super terrorists" who can use Old Earth Languages at this moment.

"That's true. Ziyue still replied coldly.

"Then, the so-called 'walking in the footsteps of the past towards the day of dreams' should refer to ......"

"The time before humanity embarked on an interstellar voyage...... To go to the stars was once the dream of all human beings on earth. ”

Edward Jones shook his head: "It's too far away, I don't know much about that history. ”

"Luckily, I still have some information about that history in my database, but I still can't analyze the answers based on these materials alone, or rather, there are too many answers. Fortunately, just now, I noticed that we were all ignoring one piece of information. ”

"What?"

"1461, the number of the storage cabinet. As I understand it, this is a well-behaved, crazy and daring bunch who have always acted with a strong sense of purpose. Locker numbers are always issued in order, and I've just checked the records of the time this locker was issued, and guess what I found?"

"They indicated that they wanted this locker?"

"Yes, sir, when I imported the number 1461 into the arithmetic system, I found a very interesting message. ”

"Just tell me straight, I'm not in the mood to play tricks on you. ”

"Yes sir. I think it probably has something to do with a chronology of the Paleo-Earth era. In the Paleo-Earth era time records, there is a very special definition of time, called a leap year. It was established to compensate for the time difference between the number of days of the year and the actual orbital cycle of the earth caused by the man-made calendar......"

As Purple Moon explained, Edward Jones pouted, "Backward timekeeping methods. ”

People in the interstellar age have long since stopped using this method of dating, and it is no wonder that they do not know about the existence of leap years.

"It's really backward, this kind of chronology can't even be accurate to every day, and it has to be constantly corrected manually. The most obvious example of this is that every four years on Earth, there is an extra day. If you add up the four years, then the number of days in those four years is exactly 1461 days. ”

"So what does it mean, 'I will welcome the 242nd rebirth in a thousand years'?"

"The calendar of leap years, even if it is added by one day every four years, is still not precise enough. The exact time of the Earth's orbital cycle around the Sun is actually 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds. Every four years, a leap year would be an average of 0.0078 days per year, or about 3 days after 400 years. Thus, three leap years are reduced every 400 years. ”

Edward Jones muttered, "I welcome the 242nd rebirth in a thousand years...... It's ......"

"Birthday, sir. To welcome a new birth is to celebrate a birthday, and to live for a thousand years, but to welcome only 242 new births, means that he was born on that most special date. In the ancient earth, this date is February 29. ”

"I see!" Edward Jones roared, "Enter the password, 229!"

The subordinate hurriedly typed in his birthday.

With a soft snap, the storage cabinet opened.

Edward Jones let out a long breath, "Well done, Purple Moon, I thank you on behalf of the Empire for your outstanding contribution, to be honest, this riddle is boring. ”

As he spoke, he had reached into the storage cabinet, where there was a clue left for him by Shen Yi.

An envelope.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Director. Ziyue replied: "According to my analysis, this is a group of fierce, cunning, and cruel separatists, and their tricks will never end here. If you agree, maybe you can let me join them in the encirclement. ”

"You?" the director was a little surprised, "but you are the brain of the security center, and I have no authority to call you." ”

"According to the Galactic Empire's security laws, if you request a call in your capacity as the Administrator, and the incident is serious enough to threaten the security of the Empire, and with my consent, then you can call it. ”

"That's ......" Edward Jones touched his chin, "Okay Purple Moon, for the sake of your outstanding contributions, I will apply to the above." But can I ask why you're so eager to help?"

"They broke into the security center and tried to hack me, and I was just enforcing the Fight Back ordinance and carrying the fight back to the end. ”

"Understood, thank you very much for joining, you will be a good helper for us. ”

"I will help you eliminate those hateful separatists. Ziyue replied mechanically, "As for now, I can send you another message." Your security phone is likely to have been tapped, so it's recommended that you immediately switch lines and re-strengthen your defenses. ”
