Lam looked at Mathilda with some surprise and asked if this bookstore was so famous. Seeing Lam looking at her in surprise, Mathilda quickly waved her hand and said that only Hua people could understand the name of this bookstore, and only book fans knew this bookstore.
This bookstore was Marks Bookstore, and its full name was Marks & Co Bookstore.
"You don't know about Marks & Co Bookstore? Then you must have never read the novel about this bookstore. It is a classic love literary novel." Mathilda asked Lam with some fun.
Lam shook his head. As a typical man in science and engineering, he had always been an insulator in this type of novel, so he asked Mathilda for advice on the relevant content of this novel.
Mathilda introduced the novel to Lam and others as "84 Charing Cross Road", and then introduced the content of the novel, which was probably a story about a female writer and a second-hand bookstore owner expressing their love through letters.
Lam wanted to interrupt her because he already knew the clues, but Mathilda began to get lost in the memory of the novel's content and recounted the plot of the novel.
Although Lam had no intention of listening, he did so out of politeness. He stopped interrupting and could only sigh that he was worthy of studying language and literature.
After speaking the story, Mathilda sighed emotionally, while Lam nodded numbly and asked softly if she was done. After she finished speaking, he could tell everyone the clues.
Mathilda almost choked. Looking at Lam who was indifferent to the content of the novel, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.
When Lam finally told everyone about the clues, Mathilda felt a little embarrassed. They only listened to the her out of politeness, but she also secretly cursed in her heart,"A straight man who doesn't understand amorous feelings should stay single for the rest of his life."
"Wei's writing of this bookstore should be a hint to Charing Cross Street, so I speculate that Wei should be on this street. As for the specific house number, we may have to unlock the next two emails to know it. " Lam told everyone the clues of his inference, then picked up his phone and looked at the second message Wei sent to him, the number of Osiris.
"Hey, I have to do it again!!!! "Lam suddenly had a headache. When he found Wei, Lam immediately wanted to grab his sleeves, press him against the wall, and loudly ask him why, why he was tortured like this to other people.
Lam took a breath and began to analyze what the numbers of Osiris meant. Lam vaguely remembered Wei telling him this story.
Osiris was one of the Nine Pillars of Ancient Egypt, the god of fertility, and the first pharaoh of Egypt. As we all know, Osiris was divided into 14 pieces by his brother, but his wife recovered 13 pieces, and finally became the master of the earth and the judge of death.
This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.
Lam knew that the password would definitely not be that simple, so he began to recall the story about Osiris in his mind.
In ancient Egyptian mythology, the first son born to the earth god Geb and the sky god Nut was Osiris. Because he was the eldest son, Osiris became the pharaoh, controlled the entire Egypt, and married with his sister,the goddess Isis. Later they gave birth to Horus.
Because Seth, the god of war, was his younger brother, he could only control the dry and hot desert.
Seth was dissatisfied with the fact that he could only control the barren desert. Why could Osiris dip his feet in the cool water of the Nile? Was it because Osiris was born before him?
In order to break this injustice, Seth decided to kill Osiris and rule the entire Egypt by himself. So Seth ordered craftsmen to use precious wood to tailor a gorgeous coffin to the size of his brother Osiris, and decorated it with beautiful gems and gold.
The Egyptians at that time were very yearning for the world after death, so coffins were of great significance and value to the Egyptians.
Seth then held a banquet with 72 of his men and specially invited Osiris. At the banquet, he announced that the person who could lie perfectly in the box would receive the coffin.
Everyone was eager to try, but no one fit the size of the coffin. When it was Osiris' turn, Osiris lay down in it without hesitation. Unexpectedly, the coffin was just right, neither too big nor too small.
Just as Osiris was about to get up happily, Seth fulfilled his promise and gave the coffin to Osiris.
Before Osiris came out of the coffin, Seth closed the lid in advance, sealed the coffin with graphite, and then threw the coffin directly into the Nile. In this way, Seth usurped Osiris's position and became the second pharaoh of Egypt.
After Osiris' wife Isis learned that her husband had died in the Nile River, she hurried to the Nile River and used her powerful magic to find the coffin containing Osiris.
Osiris was already dead at this time, so Isis hid Osiris's body in the swamp and prepared to resurrect Osiris, but Seth, who was out hunting, found out.
Seth hurried to the swamp, divided the body of his brother Osiris into 14 pieces, and hid them in various corners of Egypt.
Isis could only turn to Seth's wife, Nephthys, the guardian goddess of the dead. With the help of Nephthys, Isis finally found the body of Osiris again, but only 13 pieces were found. Osiris's genitals were partially eaten by the fish.
Lam carefully recalled the whole story and found that the numbers related to Osiris were nothing more than 72, 14, 13 and 1, so Lam entered these numbers into the password box of the second email, but the password was wrong.
Lam tried to use these numbers to perform permutations and combinations, as well as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, but the password was always incorrect.
Lam tried to find the pattern between these numbers again, and indeed found a pattern that made sense, but without exception, the final password was still incorrect.
Just know that things were not that easy. Judging from the previous password, you may have to open your mind, otherwise this story and these numbers alone may not be enough to reveal the password of the second email.
Lam then began to search in his mind for the reason why Wei told him this story. However, because the interval was too long, Lam could not remember it clearly, and his memory was also somewhat confused.
Lam could only try to use one thing as a basis, and then work hard to extend the memory forward based on this thing.
What day was that day?Where was it? Why did Wei tell him this story?What did Wei say after telling him this story, and what was his expression at that time?
Lam followed this logic and began to slowly connect various memory points in his mind. The situation at that time slowly emerged bit by bit.
