48 Hours a Day

A week of tranquillity soon passed.

This afternoon, Zhang Heng was in the library flipping through a Photographic Composition, and received a call from Shen Xixi.

“Can we talk now? ”

“Wait a minute. ”

Zhang Heng rose up, left the borrowing area, walked into the safe passage, looked nearby. Only a few freshmen were discussing the group's work in the heat of the day, and no one even noticed him walking past.

Zhang Heng then picked up his phone and asked, "What is it? ”

“I thought you said you could drive? ”

“Hmm.” Zhang Heng of course knew that Shen Xixi was not talking about getting a driver's license, but about having a certain level of driving skills.

“Can I ask you a favor?” Shen Xixi Road, “the news in the forum during this time, you know. ”

“Sorry, I haven't been to the forum much this week. ”

“Oh, well, you can take a look first, then if you want to talk, you can come to me at the sculpture time in the food alley. ”

“Okay.”

Zhang Heng hung up the phone, opened the notebook, plugged in the USB disk that would not be tracked by the IP, logged into the players forum, browsed the city's hot posts. In fact, he just had to sweep around and didn't have to look for it, he could already know what Shen Xixi was talking about.

Not too much news from Sphinx is of most interest to the players in this forum.

Unlike Moresby and Xavier Cha, which Zhang Heng had previously encountered, Sphinx belonged to a familiar mythical species.

Originally derived from Egyptian mythology, of course, its most famous story is in Greek mythology.

Sphinx squatted on a cliff near the city of Tebai, intercepting past passers-by and playing riddle questions and answers, “What animal walks with four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon, and three legs in the evening?” Those who cannot answer will be swallowed up by it until one day Oedipus passes and gives the mystery that Sphinx is ashamed to die jumping off a cliff.

Like all Greek mythology, such stories are filled with downward light rings, not to mention why Sphinx was guessed to have jumped off a cliff and committed suicide. Most importantly, according to the versions, Sphinx is a monster with a lion trunk and a woman's face bearing wings at the same time. With those pairs of wings there, it doesn't look like a cliff would have fallen to death.

And the post about Suspected Sphinx was originally sent by a player called Goldbach Guess.

He said he was a high school teacher, and one night after studying at night, when he came home, he suddenly ran out of the street a monster similar to a big hound dog, which looked exactly like the legend of the myth, stood by the trash can, and what happened after that was similar to what happened in the myth.

The monster suddenly spat and asked Godebach to guess and play a riddle game with it. If he answered correctly, let Godebach guess and leave, and if he answered incorrectly, he will be punished.

Goldbach guessed suddenly nervous, and as a player he knew of course that it was a supernatural event, and that it was likely a fatal supernatural event, although the other party had not clearly indicated that it would take his life, but as someone who knew the story of Sphinx, he certainly knew what would happen if he could not answer the riddle.

So Goldbach thought he was scared to death.

He lived in a more sketchy place where there were few pedestrians on the road, and he himself was not a combat player, but had to start listening with a hard scalp, and unfortunately the mystery of Sphinx was as bad as the legend.

“The upper and lower limbs are all hands, sometimes crawling, sometimes walking, walking like a person, climbing like a dog, beating an animal, remember, you only have one minute, three chances.” That's what the animal suspected of Sphinx said.

Goldbach thought that because he was so nervous, his brain was blank once, but then he came back, and he quickly came up with the answer, “Monkey, it's a monkey, right? ”

“Congratulations, that's correct.” Sphinx said it with no emotion like Google's mother, and then went into the green belt and disappeared, as if it had never happened.

Given the relatively large battle power gap between the two sides, Godbach didn't dare to ask why I answered the riddle. You didn't jump off a cliff like the mythological legend. He didn't wake up in a big dream until Sphinx left, because he was afraid that he would lure the monster home. He didn't dare to go in the direction of the neighborhood. He came straight to the game point and stayed at the game point for one night. After that, his wife and daughter almost misunderstood the affair. It was really painful to say.

He then sorted out his experiences and sent them to the Forum.

Because the whole process was so childish that no one even believed it at first, there were people leaving messages below. Is my brother from UC, and I have to create news without news? It wasn't until the next one, and the next victim, appeared that this post suddenly became the hottest in the forum.

And the second victim was not so lucky. He walked the dog downstairs in the morning, and when he walked to the garage of nobody, the dog suddenly screamed, and at the same time he wouldn't go any further. Although the player reacted quickly, he was still fast, but suddenly the head protruded from the garage.

“Not too old, with a huge beard, no matter how big or small, I would just call my mom and beat an animal.” That thing has no expression on it.

“What the hell?!” The second victim was almost frightened to sit on the floor.

“Wrong answer, two more chances. ”

“Is this one time? ”

“Wrong answer, one more chance. ”

The second victim didn't dare to talk any more at this time. It took a while to get an answer. "Is it a cat? ”

“Wrong answer. ”

With this phrase, the lion-faced monster jumped on the second victim, who thought he was going to hang up, the monster waved his paws, caught three bloodstains on his arm, and then jumped into the garage in Teddy's bark and went over the wall again.

Immediately after that, the second victim arrived at the hospital for an examination, and found no abnormality. After a dose of rabies vaccine, he went home to rest. Currently, he is in good health. Mild fever is only a normal reaction after the vaccine, and he will continue to go to the hospital to finish the remaining four injections.

There's a lot of people throwing up under his post.

Brother, the answer is sheep, can you answer wrong? It also took three chances.

When did Sphinx talk so well, he just scratched the wrong number and left?

Where's your dog? Didn't he save you at the moment?

Friend upstairs, you're pointing at Teddy to save you, and he's pointing at you to save it.
