Ch10 - Under the Fence

Edited by Ning

Zhou Ziheng clearly felt the changes in Xia Xiqing at this moment. Before, he was still lazily acting like an unconcerned bystander. As soon as he heard that a player broke through the room, he immediately became more invested in the game.

But he also knew that Xia Xiqing didn’t do this because his competitive spirit was ignited, but just because he wanted to leave here to watch the excitement. d2bhKY

It may be his real purpose to stir up a pool of muddy water even more.

“Don’t you think this poem is weird?” Xia Xiqing flipped a signature pen from somewhere and underlined the last few lines of the verse.

[Only by re-dismantling it,

Returning you to me, returning me to you. 1Y5LOx

From top to bottom, connected to each other.

Can everything have meaning again.]

He took out the reconstructed note that was put together by Zhou Ziheng at the beginning, with a string of garbled characters written on the front, “I think this poem is suggesting the decoding method of this code.”

Zhou Ziheng nodded in agreement and read the poem carefully in his heart.

[We used to be one. 

Fate pulled you away from my body, from my bones, my flesh and blood, and my heart, and crudely pieced together these meaningless organs.

Together with you who were torn up and reconstructed, we were buried one after another.

Buried under the fence where the lush roses grow. 0NaD9F

Only by re-dismantling it,

Returning you to me, returning me to you.

From top to bottom, connected to each other.

Used to be one, detached, pieced together, buried one after the other

He could not help but read out in a low voice: “Buried under the fence where the roses…”

Xia Xiqing replied casually, “My nephew is in IT, and for a while I studied a little cryptography with him…”

Your nephew? Zhou Ziheng frowned at Xia Xiqing. mB qd8

Where did you come from, old evil spirit? 

He didn’t say it out loud, but neither did he believe what Xia Xiqing said. He leaned over and took the pen he had found just now and prepared to decode it. Xia Xiqing flipped the poem to the other side and saw [2 you] written on it. He smiled and said, “In fact, the clues of the program group are really obvious. The 2 here is not ‘to’, it means that the original state of the password is divided into 2 columns, right.”

“Yeah.” Zhou Ziheng counted the long string of garbled digits with his fingers, and found the middle one, he draw a vertical line to disassemble them, although knowing that Xia Xiqing understands the decoding process, but in order to ensure that the audience of the show can also understand this process, Zhou Ziheng explained. “The first half of this poem is the process of encryption, and beginning from ‘only to be disassembled’ is a hint on the decoding process. According to the ‘2’ on the back, divide the garbled code into two groups equally, with seven letters in each group.”

PGOEUDE  AENHNRD QlPAY

‘Return you to me, return me to you’ should mean disassembling the letters in the group and restoring them.” As he said this, Zhou Ziheng re-transcribed the two separated groups and aligned the two lines.

PGOEUDE

AENHNRD

Zhou Ziheng lowered his head, chanting the penultimate sentence in the verse, “From top to bottom, connected to each other.” Starting from the letter P in the first row, use the stroke to draw the line, first point to the A in the second row, then turn the tip of the pen, the line wrapped around back to G, and so on, until the circuitous, rippled line penetrated each letter, reaching the last letter D. rhPx9D

“Write it down in the order of the lines…” Zhou Ziheng leaned over and transcribed the final answer seriously.

PAGEONEHUNDRED

Page one hundred.

“The hundredth page.” Xia Xiqing picked up the unbelievably thick book next to him and turned to the hundredth page. MHRXn3

The entire page was printed with densely packed characters like ants, and he saw four numbers on the forty-second line.

[I only live because of my desire, for this hot cliff, if possible, at the moment when my desire burns out, I will be the 1414th of the sea of ​​roses in your heart, no more, no less, just be that one. ]

“1414.” Xia Xiqing put down the book, walked to the study room, and entered these four numbers on the password lock screen on the door.

The code lock emitted a blue light, flashed three times, and finally displayed a green prompt message on the screen. aAMQyO

[Access Granted!]

Xia Xiqing tried to push the door, only to hear a click, and the door lock was really unlocked. Xia Xiqing, who originally wanted to slip away by himself, noticed the close-up camera on the door lock, so he smiled and said to Zhou Ziheng, “We can go out now, let’s go.”

Zhou Ziheng, who was leaning against the desk, gave him a meaningful look, and finally walked towards him with his hand in his jacket pocket.

There was the sound of a new notification. sBLV2R

[Please note that two players are now fleeing the original room and entering other players’ rooms.]

“Is the alliance still in place?” Zhou Ziheng suddenly opened his mouth.

Xia Xiqing smiled and pushed the door open. “Of course, if my usefulness has not been squeezed dry.”

The word ‘squeezed dry’ was so subtle that Zhou Ziheng didn’t feel that he was being teased by Xia Xiqing. He followed him blindly and walked out of the original room. 5lImzW

The structure of this apartment is very strange. There is no corridor-like partition between the rooms. They opened the door of their room and entered the new room directly. The person in the room was immersed in what he was doing. Hearing the wall, or at least the door he had thought was a wall, behind him suddenly open, he was startled and his back trembled.

Adhering to the original intention of his character setting, Xia Xiqing took the initiative to smile and greet the original owner of the room, “Hi, we are the players who just escaped from our room. You should have received news from the program team.”

The man was wearing a large cream yellow sweater, and his hair dyed light brown looked very fluffy. When he heard the sound, he turned around, the good-looking face suddenly showed a relieved expression at the moment when he saw Zhou Ziheng, “Ah! Ziheng, it’s good, it’s really you.” He smiled at Xia Xiqing again, “Hello, hey, aren’t you the one recently? The one on Weibo two days ago… ”

Xia Xiqing very considerately reported his name, “Xia Xiqing.” The other party was about to introduce himself. Xia Xiqing immediately said, “Shang Sirui, I like your songs very much.” 6yfl5d

Shang Sirui is the face of the popular group HighFive. Shang Sirui has worked with him in a drama before, it’s just a cameo role. Although Xia Xiqing only said that to be polite and doesn’t really like to listen to the songs of this kind of idol boy group, their popularity is still good in the circle of young people, in particular, Shang Sirui, with a beautiful face and a confused personality, has become the top popular member of the group.

“Really?” Shang Sirui said with a smile, “Ah, you’re so amazing. You’ve escaped so soon. I’ve been fooling around here for a long time and haven’t come up with anything useful. Hey, I’m so confused. Why did my agent give me such a difficult job?”

Xia Xiqing almost laughed out loud. No matter what he was still an idol. When he opened his mouth, it was like a comic dialogue. It’s no wonder that netizens complained that his mouth was shocking.

“With two people it’s always faster.” Zhou Ziheng walked to Shang Sirui’s side to check his current progress. rZi25W

He didn’t feel it before comparing, but when the two of them stood together, Xia Xiqing discovered that Zhou Ziheng was really tall and his shoulders were wider than Shang Sirui, which made Shang Sirui, who had a figure that was above the boy group idol standard, petite. If he remembers correctly, these two people seem to still have CP.

The entertainment industry’s overall gong character setting really doesn’t lie.

Although Shang Sirui and Zhou Ziheng have countless fans of their good looks, their good looks are totally different in two styles, Shang Sirui’s facial features are light and juvenile. He looks like a high school boy, however, Zhou Ziheng had a full-bodied face, and his deep facial features were once mistaken for mixed blood.

For Xia Xiqing, of course the latter is more exciting. 6asc2N

The author has something to say:

Popular science of cryptography:

In fact, I have tried my best to explain the decryption process in the most simple and easy to understand language (Zhou Ziheng’s words). Many readers may see the word “cipher” and be dissuaded 2333. In fact, it’s very interesting (really ~). If you are interested, you can take a look at the following popular science (simple operation without mathematical knowledge) E1C0oJ

The random code [pgoeudeaenhnrd] in these two chapters belongs to a fence password with two columns. I won’t talk about the concept. Let’s just use the password in the article as an example. The first half of the poem (which I wrote blindly, let’s call it Shiba) is the encryption process. Let’s map it one by one.

We used to be one. [the original code is page one hundred, and the blank space is removed to become one pageonehundred]

Fate pulled you away from my body, from my bones, my flesh and blood, and my heart, and crudely pieced together these meaningless organs. [how to “pull away”? Because the column is 2, it’s divided into seven groups (bone, flesh, heart, etc.) Then the first character (pgoeude) of each group is extracted and put in a heap, and the second character (aenhnrd) is put in a heap, which becomes two heaps

Together with you who were torn up and reconstructed, we were buried one after another. [Put together the two piles of letter sequences you just got, “one after another”, and you get the password PGOEUDEAENHNRD] rM2FCK

So this is the encryption method of the fence password. Let’s give another example, such as encrypting “I Love You”. If we encrypt it in 3 columns.

First, remove the space and change it into iloveyou, then separate it into three parts, ilo vey ou

Then the first letter of each part is heap (Ivo), the second letter is heap (Leu), and the third letter is heap (oy)

Finally, put them end to end: ivoleuoy WpQejJ

Dangdangdang, encryption complete! (take it to confess ~)

Did you learn the code? In fact, it’s very good to set the passwords of mobile phones and some accounts~

In the decoding part, according to the steps in the novel, first divide the random code into two columns, string them up with a wavy line, and write them in order.

End of class ~ did you find it boring? Hhhh, just If you’re interested, you can try with pen and paper~ wtFJ0n

  1. I’m a little sick and my brain isn’t working 100% but even if it was, it would take me a long time to figure everything out lol.

    thanks for the chapter <3

  2. It’s really interesting (´・ω・`) thank you for the explanation

    Thank you for the chapter 😘💕💕

  3. I didn’t quite process the first one, but i understood the “i love you” one so i got an idea on how it works… Damn, the author’s smart :0

    Thanks for the chapter! 🙂

  4. My heart ached so much for Rensley T^T

    Wow, the illustration is so gorgeous!!! Thank you for sharing it with us, you’re so talent, wahhhhhhhhhh, I loved iiiit
