"You can even tell that they had quarreled before?" Shen Xixi raised her eyebrows.
"Well, I spent some time with Holmes in a previous quest," Zhang Heng explained as he started the car.
"How long can it take? Two months? Do you think you can learn his special deductive reasoning?" Shen Xixi asked.
"Actually … it's a little longer than two months."
"That's amazing," Shen Xixi praised. "It seems that 1810 has found the right person this time."
"… I'll try my best," Zhang Heng said. He then drove the car out of the parking lot and asked, "There's still some time left. Do you want to go back to school?"
"No need," Shen Xixi shook her head. "I have nothing to do when I go back. Yogurt has been missing for more than a week. The sooner we find her, the better. What about you, detective? Do you have any clues?"
"Well." Zhang Heng said, "If we want to find the guy behind the scenes, we must first accept the rules of the game. Do you remember the Sphinx?"
"Of course."
"Although it's a fake, its action pattern has always been imitating the Sphinx in Greek mythology. In the surveillance video that 1810 showed me, the four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles also went into the sewer after passing through the intersection. Except for Dumbledore, the rest of the characters basically tried their best to imitate the original. This shows that no matter who created them, the programming they wrote was trying to imitate the original."
"Ha, that's true." Shen Xixi thought for a while and said, "We can use this to find them."
"To be precise, we can make them come to us," Zhang Heng said. "Although their whereabouts have been erratic, we know the area where they often appear and their behavior logic. Maybe we can lure them out." Zhang Heng said.
"So … we are going to go into the sewer next?"
"No, I mean we can pretend to be the emperor."
"Who?"
"Sheev Palpatine, the former speaker of the Galactic Republic. He later launched the Clone War and declared that the Jedi Knights had committed treason. He single-handedly established the Galactic Empire. He is considered the number one enemy of the Jedi Knights." Zhang Heng briefly explained the emperor's identity. "If Master Yoda sees the emperor, he will definitely show up."
"Okay, I think I understand your plan. Where should we start next?"
"I need to find a way to get a set of clothes first. Can you get an emperor's outfit?" Zhang Heng could actually get one, but it was more troublesome. So, he decided to ask Shen Xixi first.
"Hmm, let me think." The latter raised an eyebrow. "We'll have to ask Bunny for this. She's an anime fan and joined a cosplay group. She should be able to find a way to borrow it."
"I'll have to trouble her then. It's best if she can buy it because I can't guarantee that it won't be damaged," Zhang Heng said.
An hour later, the two arrived at a residential area. A boy wearing glasses was already waiting for them at the entrance of the community. There was a box at his feet, containing a full set of cosplay emperor costumes. Zhang Heng glanced at it and found that it was quite realistic. Although it was still far from the Sphinx's level, if one didn't look closely at it at night, one could easily mistake it for the real thing.
"Are you really willing to spend two thousand yuan to buy this set?" the boy asked hesitantly.
The price of cosplay costumes fluctuated wildly, ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands. The emperor costume made by the boy was quite exquisite, but the cost was estimated to be about five hundred yuan. He was a little tired of cosplaying the emperor recently, and he wanted to change his look. When he heard that someone was willing to pay a high price for it, he immediately agreed.
"Hmm." Zhang Heng took out an envelope from the storage compartment under the car door and handed it to the boy. "You can count it."
The boy took the envelope, opened it, and felt its thickness. He then smiled. "No need. Bunny introduced you to me. I'm sure you can trust me."
After that, he looked at Shen Xixi again. "Bro, I still have a Shimakaze cosplay costume. Do you want it? It's definitely my collection. I originally planned to let my future girlfriend wear it for me, but now it seems that it's hopeless. I can sell it to you at a low price. "
"Thank you for your enthusiasm, but I think it's better not to give up completely," Zhang Heng said. "After all, who knows what will happen tomorrow?"
The bespectacled boy revealed a bitter smile. "Tomorrow. Maybe I'll go up myself tomorrow …"
Before he could finish, Shen Xixi suddenly asked, "Do you have Voldemort's costume?"
"I don't have Voldemort. He's not as popular as before, but I have a set of Hermione's costume. Do you want it?" The boy's eyes lit up.
"How much is it?"
He hesitated. "It's free. You can wear it and take a photo for me."
"Hmm?"
As if afraid that Shen Xixi would go back on her words, the boy with glasses immediately rushed home. "Wait a minute."
Less than five minutes later, he rushed downstairs, sweating profusely. He held another box in his arms. "Gryffindor uniform, tie, cloak, skirt, magic hat, scarf, and staff are all inside."
"You're quite well-prepared," Shen Xixi said.
"Of course. Everyone in the cosplay circle knows how serious I am. I spent the whole day cosplaying as Frog Seed, "the boy with glasses said. After he handed the box to Shen Xixi, he immediately shouted, "Oh, by the way, I still have something to do. I'll go back first. Have fun!" "That's right!" Shen Xixi said.
Shen Xixi frowned. When the boy with glasses slipped away, she opened the box. The equipment in the box was really as the guy said before. It was very complete, and they were all the styles in the movie. However, when Shen Xixi saw the size of the shirt and skirt, a hint of anger appeared on her face.
But then, the anger quickly disappeared, and she was a little dumbfounded. "That guy said he wanted my photo, but he didn't even add me on WeChat. Forget it. I'll just take it that he gave me an extra set of clothes," Shen Xixi said helplessly.
On the other side, Zhang Heng had changed into the emperor's costume. Compared to some of the more complicated images, the emperor's costume was quite simple. His whole body was wrapped in a black robe, and he wore a special skin mask on his face. Besides, the boy with glasses was not bragging. He did control the details well, and his wrinkled hands were made into a pair of gloves.
After Zhang Heng put on the costume, he had transformed into a big villain in Star Wars.
"It feels like … I'm going to a Halloween party," Shen Xixi commented after looking at him. My Day Has 48 Hours. The latest chapter is here.
