Reborn with the Infinite World Panel-Chapter 54: 66 Investigation Bureau 2

"Hello, Senior Shao," Nan Chu greeted.

"Hello," Shao Zheng nodded.

[This Nan Chu is Nangong Emperor’s cousin, better establish a good relationship.]

"How long have you been here?"

"Just a little while," Nan Chu replied.

As the two chatted, Su Xiao and Li Wenya arrived together.

Su Xiao was 24 years old, the same age as Li Wenya. They had worked together on a youth idol drama, so they were old acquaintances.

Li Wenya saw Nan Chu and happily greeted, "Nan Chu."

"Wenya," Nan Chu looked at her happily.

"Congratulations on finding your true family."

"Thank you."

After a while, Ke Nian and Xia Mingyu also arrived.

Ke Nian and Xia Mingyu were both 25 years old, also of the same age group.

As they just came in, the lights went out again, and the door was locked.

Suddenly, it was pitch black. Li Wenya and Su Xiao screamed and hugged each other tightly.

Xia Mingyu was startled by the sound of the door closing and almost fell to his knees.

Nan Chu, being experienced, went to turn on the lights.

When the lights were on, the television lit up, displaying a message: [Please solve the mystery, find the code to leave this room, and proceed to the sixth-floor hall.]

Nan Chu looked at the code lock and randomly entered something; the code was six digits.

Nan Chu said, "The code is six digits, and there are six pictures in this room, the code might correspond to these six pictures."

"Why do these pictures look so familiar to me?" Li Wenya remarked, looking at the second picture on the right.

Nan Chu said, "The third picture on the right is a photo of my high school campus."

After hearing Nan Chu’s words, Ke Nian said, "It seems each picture corresponds to one guest."

Li Wenya recognized it too, "This is a photo from my first time being in a film crew."

Su Xiao said, "This is a photo from the set of my first movie."

Ke Nian: "This is my university campus."

Xia Mingyu: "Mine is from my first trip."

Shao Zheng: "This is my first lead role in a drama."

Su Xiao tilted her head and asked, "Then what? How do we determine the code?"

Xia Mingyu: "The photos correspond to time. My first trip was on July 20, 2019."

Nan Chu: "I started high school on September 1, 2018."

Li Wenya: "I joined the crew on April 2, 2021."

Shao Zheng: "My lead role drama began shooting on August 19, 2022."

Su Xiao: "My first movie started filming on November 3, 2023."

Ke Nian: "I started university on August 30, 2020."

Xia Mingyu said, "It turns out they are in order, from 2018 to 2023!"

"Is the code 890123?" Su Xiao asked.

"Beep beep," two sounds, Nan Chu had already entered the code and opened the door.

"The code really is 890123!" Su Xiao said.

"No, it’s 930218," Nan Chu said. "The frames have colors, and the colors correspond to the order of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue. By the color of the frames, the code is revealed."

Upon hearing Nan Chu’s words, the other five guests looked up and indeed saw that the frames were colored.

Li Wenya praised, "Nan Chu, you’re so observant."

"Let’s go, to the hall," Nan Chu said.

Ke Nian brought along a pen and notebook from the room, just in case they might be useful later.

The group left the room, and as they walked down the hallway, the lights went out again.

Li Wenya and Su Xiao clung tightly to Nan Chu’s arms, squeezing her tightly.

"It’s okay," Nan Chu reassured them.

Nan Chu led the two along, and soon they reached the entrance of the hall, where the lights came on.

The entrance to the hall also had a password lock.

Next to it was an approval diagram.

On the yellow circular diagram, a question mark was written.

On the blue circular diagram, the number 1315 was written.

On the green circular diagram, the number 12552 was written.

On the pink circular diagram, the number 1121 was written.

On the red circular diagram, the number 251 was written.

"What’s the pattern here?" Su Xiao looked baffled.

This puzzle-solving was completely not her forte.

Nan Chu said, "It should relate to the English names of the colors; blue, green, pink, and red correspond to the number of digits, so yellow should be a six-digit number."

"Really," Li Wenya said.

Shao Zheng: "Blue corresponds to 1315, but according to the letter sequence, b should be 2, it shouldn’t be 1."

Ke Nian said, "e corresponds to 5, r to 2, l to 3, the others all correspond to 1, it’s really strange."

Nan Chu immediately thought of something, "It should be the frequency these letters appear in the color names, e appears five times, r appears two times, so according to this, the number for yellow should be 153311."

Xia Mingyu quickly entered 153311, and the hall door opened.

"Nan Chu, you’re too smart," Li Wenya looked at her in admiration.

"It was Ke Nian’s hint that led me to think of it," Nan Chu said humbly.

They entered the hall and saw a sumptuous dining table.

Once the guests were seated, a heavenly sound echoed: "Welcome investigators, today is your first day at the Six Six Investigation Bureau... We hope that, in the future, you will uncover the truth of various cases and bring clarity to the world."

"To help you get to know each other, we’ve prepared a few games. Let’s start with the first one, ’Guess Who,’ from left to right. If guessed wrong, one dish will be removed."

Then a baby photo was projected with the text "Guess who I am within thirty seconds."

Sitting first on the left was Shao Zheng. Shao Zheng looked carefully at the photo and then at the others, "Xia Mingyu."

"Correct."

The director’s voice came from off-screen: "No more hints. If you hint again, it’s considered wrong."

Shao Zheng didn’t figure it out, but Xia Mingyu winked at him madly, so he knew.

Fortunately, the other guests managed to guess correctly.

The second game was a song challenge.

This was Nan Chu’s weak spot. Lately, she had been busy reading and studying and hadn’t listened to any songs.

Nan Chu thought to herself: In the future, she needs to listen to more songs whenever she has free time.

After playing games and having a meal, suddenly a voice appeared on the projection, "Investigators, I am your bureau chief. We have an urgent mission."

"A girl named Ming Mei has gone missing. Before her disappearance, she was last seen at 1+1 Creative Co., Ltd. You are to disguise yourselves and investigate there."

"I will provide you with identities, and you can start at 1+1 Creative Co., Ltd tomorrow."

"Received."

"Understood."

Afterward, the guests received phones from the production team, added each other as friends, and created a group chat.

They then received a message from the chief.

It contained information about Ming Mei, with a photo of a very cheerful-looking girl, aged 26, who had been missing for six months since July 17, 2026.

After checking the message, filming for the day concluded.

"Nan Chu."

"Si Junyan, why are you here?"

"This show is invested by Charm."

"So you’re an investor."

"I happened to have work nearby, so I came to check out the recording," Si Junyan invited. "Would you like to have dinner together tonight?"

"I’m a bit tired from filming, I’d like to go back to the hotel and rest," Nan Chu declined.
