经过一段时间,吉姆带领着团队离开了校园。走了一小段距离后,人群中的一名男子,戴着一顶高高的礼帽,突然大喊一声“够了!”然后对准吉姆掏出一把塑料手枪。一群时间警察随即赶到并逮捕了吉姆,在此过程中,他将棕色纸袋扔到了地上。一对相反方向的时空旅行者出现了,而被捕的时间警察则乘汽车逃离现场,与追逐他们的相反方向的旅行者展开了一场追逐战。一名摩托车手出现给团队传递了一个信息后也离开了。[https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1UJZ5YzERS/?share_source=copy_web&vd_source=6b9818128c7ced4665bfecfbe857ed6f 这里]是当时同行者拍摄的视频。 | |||

=== Train Hot Dog and Red Pages Podcast === | |||
Train Hot Dog (THD) 是一个每周播客节目,里面的内容是 Jim Crawford 在乘坐火车的时候进行的讨论。首期播客于2015年5月28日发布。播客的第一集首先发布在 [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCy5JGFfB4yEmIajXWgD17Ag Twinbeard YouTube] 频道上,之后再发布到 [https://web.archive.org/web/20190905082452/http://trainhotdog.cool/ trainhotdog.cool] 网站。播客的听众被称为“乘客”,他们可以通过拨打 "乘客邮件" 号码进行提问,这些号码是469-BEARDS-4 或者 469-CEASE-PI,或者通过在 YouTube 视频下的评论区提交问题。 | |||
在[https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1t6ZVYKE7Y/?share_source=copy_web&vd_source=6b9818128c7ced4665bfecfbe857ed6f 第十二集]里,有一个声音说:“Brought to you by time dash travel dot club”,因为这个我们发现了[https://web.archive.org/web/20161006132714/http://time-travel.club/ time-travel.club](这个网站之后会重点介绍)。而这个发现也证明Train Hot Dog参与了青蛙分数2(这句话我们后面会说很多很多很多次) | |||
与此同时,[https://web.archive.org/web/20190905082452/http://trainhotdog.cool/ trainhotdog.cool]网站也有变动(需要2015年7月30日之后的网站切片),网站下方有一段话:“To leave a Rider Mail, call (469) BEA-RDS4”。在第十二期播出以后“call (469) BEA-RDS4”这串字符加入了一个链接。 | |||

Red Pages Podcast(RPP)是一个以电子游戏和书籍为主题的播客,由《Frog Fractions 2》的作者Justin Bortnick和他的朋友们Gord和Paul共同主持。播客的内容发布在其[http://redpagespodcast.com/ 官方网站]上。 | |||
在[http://redpagespodcast.com/listen/chatting-with-jim-crawford “Extrasode 3: Chatting with Jim Crawford”]这期中,在第 37 分 30 秒到大约第 40 分钟之间,可以听到一些杂音。里面是摩斯电码,翻译过来就是 | |||
RPS SSENIHSUM TNAREBUXE ERIM SSENIHSUM TNAREBUXE ERIM | |||
将文字反转过来,就是 | |||
MIRE EXUBERANT MUSHINESS MIRE EXUBERANT MUSHINESS SPR | |||
将重复的话翻译过来就是 | |||
泥潭旺盛的粘液 | |||
而且对应的背景音中也引用了“我,机器人”的作者艾萨克·阿西莫夫的话: | |||
"You can't tell them," droned the psychologist slowly, "because that would hurt and you mustn't hurt. But if you don't tell them, you hurt, so you must tell them. And if you do, you will hurt and you mustn't, so you can't tell them; but if you don't, you hurt, so you must; but if you do, you hurt, so you mustn't; but if you don't, you hurt, so you must。。。。。 | |||
翻译过来就是 | |||
"你不能告诉他们," 心理学家慢悠悠地说, "因为那会伤害到他们,而你不应该让他们受到伤害。但如果你不告诉他们, 你自己会感到痛苦, 所以你需要去告诉他们。如果去了告诉他们, 自己又会感到痛苦且不应该被伤害,所以你不能告诉他们;但如果不去告诉他们,你会受苦的,所以你应该去告诉他们;但是如果你去告诉了他们,你会受到伤害并且不应该这样,所以你无法去告诉他们;但如果我们不去告诉他们,我们也会有痛苦,所以我们应该去告诉他们;但如果我们去告诉他们,我们会感到痛苦且不应如此,因此我们不能去告诉他们;但如果我们不告诉他们,我们仍然会受苦,所以我们应该去告诉他们。。。。。。 | |||
而这个发现也证明Red Pages Podcast参与了青蛙分数2。 | |||
=== Ashby Brewery and Indie Games Studio === | |||
在青蛙分数2的宣传片中我们就可以看到亨特和艾米这对夫妇和他们的独立游戏工作室,同年4月推出的[http://twinbeard.com/kickstarter-simulator-2015 《Kickstarter模拟器》]游戏中,这对夫妇再次现身,但是我们并没有在那个游戏中找到任何有效和有用的线索 | |||
吉姆早在2012年就在个人博客上提到过阿什比啤酒厂和独立游戏工作室,并附上了一张啤酒标签的照片。他说这个啤酒是他的室友约翰酿造的,还半开玩笑地表示希望啤酒上没有Twinbeard的品牌标识。原文链接在[http://goombas.org/1347_ashby-brewery-indie-game-studio.html 这里] | |||
[[文件:青蛙分数2:樱桃小麦啤酒.jpg|缩略图|那篇帖子里面提到的樱桃啤酒]] | |||
这篇帖子上面有提到一个樱桃小麦啤酒,并且我们也发现在相同的时间段内,有一个[https://twitter.com/AshbyBrewery 同名的推特账号]使用了这个照片作为头像 | |||
2015年9月23日,《青蛙分数2》(Frog Fractions 2)的Kickstarter项目发布了[https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/475057068/frog-fractions-2/posts/1362203 第11号更新](视频点击这里)。这个视频主要就是说的阿什比啤酒厂与独立游戏工作室的《2015年秋季季度酿酒通讯》,有三个特定单词前出现了音频故障: | |||
1. 0:55的“decay” | |||
2. 1:44的“truth” | |||
3. 2:08的“info” | |||
将这些单词组合起来,可得到网址 | |||
[https://web.archive.org/web/20151206203830/http://decaytruth.info/ http://decaytruth.info] | |||
这个网站正是阿什比啤酒厂的官方网站。 | |||
该网站声称啤酒厂创立于1777年,但根据创始人查尔斯·阿什比在时间线上明显矛盾的传记描述,他显然是一名时空旅行者。网站还标注了一个营业时间及地址,前往那个地址发现其实是一家杂货店,且并不销售阿什比啤酒。 | |||
此外,在[https://web.archive.org/web/20151029075831/http://decaytruth.info/privacy.html 隐私政策]页面的最底下有一个“π”符号若在登录框中两次输入相同单词,系统会返回该单词并附带一个问号(例如输入"test"会返回"test?")。英文这个特性,我们可以玩一些有趣的东西,比如返回一个青蛙分数1游戏什么的 | |||
[[文件:青蛙分数2:有趣的玩意.png|居中|缩略图|849x849像素]] | |||
在这个网站的每一个页面里面都有一段MD5值,经过暴力破解之后我们可以发现这些值都是我们当前的ip加上一个字符。具体如下: | |||
Index: MD5(IP + '1') | |||
Hours: MD5(IP + '2') | |||
About: MD5(IP + 'b') | |||
Menu: MD5(IP + 'z') | |||
Beer: MD5(IP + 'a') | |||
Privacy: MD5(IP + 'y') | |||
Admin: MD5(IP + 'x') | |||
所有的字符组合在一起就是 | |||
12bzayx | |||
访问者的IP地址还会影响啤酒101页面上"Hops marley malt yeast and water"这一字符串中哪个单词会被大写。目前尚不清楚为何这样设计。 | |||
2016年8月27日,Justin在他的Twitch直播中喝了阿什比啤酒厂与独立游戏工作室的姜汁啤酒。他坚称这家啤酒厂很容易找到,并提到了一个电话号码,还表示该啤酒的配方源自1901年——这一说法在他的直播中经常被提及。 | |||
有用户向这个被认为已停用的推特账号发推文后,该账号不仅做出了回应,随后还发布了一条[https://x.com/AshbyBrewery/status/769951980890370048 推文]。 | |||
One of our most popular brews is our classic 1901 recipe for ginger beer! Why not stop in and try one? | |||
翻译过来就是: | |||
我们最受欢迎的酿造款之一就是经典的1901年姜汁啤酒配方!何不亲自来尝一杯呢? | |||

成功登录后可见页面标题为"未来抵抗组织驻防1.50版"(简称FROG 1.5)。该网站实际上是一个被称为"The Resistance"组织的主站点,后续剧情揭示该组织成员实为对抗名为"Decay"实体的赛博格,这构成了整个ARG(替代现实游戏)故事的核心主线(剧情什么的本文不过多介绍了)。 | |||
==== gadsby ==== | |||
在2015年8月6日发布的[https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV12WZAYTEv7/?share_source=copy_web&vd_source=6b9818128c7ced4665bfecfbe857ed6f 《THD 13: Butt Folk》]中,频谱图中隐藏着一组用户名和密码。 | |||

贾斯汀·博特尼克曾从他的推特账号发布了一条关于新超级马里奥制造关卡代码的推文(该推文似乎已被删除),关卡代码为04AA-0000-00A6-45F2。 | |||
在一个名为"Dispatch 2"的关卡中,方块拼出了"PWD:SCREAMED"。 | |||
这一内容呼应了《RPP Extrasode 3》中"I, Robot"短语的结尾部分——故事接下来的台词是"-and '''Herbie''' screamed."。 | |||
[[文件:青蛙分数2:马里奥制造的关卡.png|居中|缩略图|800x800像素]] | |||
[[文件:青蛙分数2:经过机械化改造的黑桃K.png|缩略图]] | |||
2015年10月11日,RPP还发布了一条推文:"昨天红页办公室收到了这个,附带一张来自''''Herbie'''<nowiki/>'的纸条,写着'碎片在你们手中'。诡异!"推文配图是一张经过机械化改造的黑桃K图片(这张图片与THD 10的频谱图存在对应关系)。 | |||
这两个点都证明这个密码对应的用户名就是:“Herbie” | |||
所以我们得到了新的用户名和登录密码: | |||

此外,在《马里奥制造》的关卡中,那些方块实际上是摩斯密码,破解之后是"Hello Number Six"。 | |||

在2016年的GDC大会上,贾斯汀发推表示他制作了一张全新的名片,因为那个时候没有没有人进当时的GDC会场,所以同行的一个开发者分享了具体的名片的图片,而且在同期的活动上,他们也分发了4张虫子贴纸,这四张贴纸的图案后来在[https://www.facebook.com/FrogFractions/posts/1126961720672011 青蛙分数的facebook主页]发布。该名片采用螺旋状文字排列,其中包含红色字母。原文如下(红色字母用[]标注): | |||
They arrived at dusk. The experimets had been wildly successfu[l], more so than we could have hoped or feared. At first, we welc[o]med them. The people of Tunisia are friendly and, [g]enerally, we expected that our vis[i]tors would treat us with the same wonder and amazement with which we regarded them. That could [n]ot have been further from the truth. They did not care about our presence, or lives, or [c]ities, or us. They went about their brutal business as if we were ants in their path: with a comp[l]ete disregard for our [e]xistence. Their capability for warfare thwarted our greatest weaponry, and their unearthly abilities countered the strategies of our greatest [m]ilitary and scientific leaders. As the d[e]cay radiated out like a cancer from the Tunisia[n] coast, those in power around the world watched in helple[s]ness, knowing that soon their nations would suffer the same fate as outs. There are at this [p]oint in history fe[w] of us remaining. Those who survived have banded [t]ogether [u]nder the guidance of we origi[n]al six, though at this point only four remain. Our numbers are smaller by the day, and our enemy has all but forgotten us. Their victory was total, an[d] out defeat pushed ou[r] species to the brink of extinction. We now resist the decay. We hide. We w[a]it. And we plan. -Excerpt from An Oral History of the Decay, Interview 8674-B | |||

其中的Terminal链接又吧我们带到了一个新的登录页面,后面的Party Lounge链接点击进去以后是一个墨西哥乐队演奏的动图和一些音乐。查看网页源代码可以看到这段文字(因为是剧情相关,所以就不过多翻译了): | |||
This seems like a secure place to hide information, so here goes: watch out! You may be using this Party Lounge to take your mind off of the grueling reality outside this base. You may be secure in your position as a high-ranking resistance officer. Be warned: danger lurks in even the safest of places. Do you know what relationship Numbers 1, 3, 5 and 6 have to the decay? Have you never wondered what happened to Numbers 2 and 4? Have you questioned the abductions of individuals from prior eras, or the futures you are trying to prevent? Stay alert. I'll be in touch as I am able, but do not look for me - it may be some time until my next communication is able to get through to you. | |||

因为全都是无用信息或者是剧情相关,所以就不过多介绍了。 | |||
=== Terminal === | |||
==== 账号入侵 ==== | |||
有人发现了一个自称隶属于"时间旅行俱乐部"并代表"[https://twitter.com/RESIST_DECAY 抵抗组织"的Twitter账号]。该账号发布了一条联系"Coughlan实验室"(一个完全独立的、已被破解的ARG项目)的信息。 | |||
起初无法确认该账号的官方性,直到有人启动Twitter密码重置流程,通过显示的邮箱片段确认该账号与萨缪尔(青蛙分数2剧情相关人物)的Gmail账户相关联。2016年8月15日,当相关证据图片被发布到Discord后,该Twitter账号遭到教皇Zagmar入侵。 | |||
入侵期间发生以下变化:<blockquote>头像更改为弗朗西斯·培根的《[[wikipedia:Study_after_Velázquez's_Portrait_of_Pope_Innocent_X|仿委拉斯开兹的教皇英诺森十世肖像]]》画作 | |||
横幅替换为《黑暗之魂3》的大教堂场景截图 | |||
[https://x.com/RESIST_DECAY/status/764602103461322752 发布推文]:"这名囚犯以自由为条件加入我们的事业...他声称已被囚禁多年",并附有吉姆的照片</blockquote>抵抗组织随后夺回控制权并声明:"入侵者正接受囚犯JC101-B的协助。必要时实施拘捕或清除。" | |||
在教皇Zagmar入侵Twitter事件后,[https://web.archive.org/web/20200224213444/http://time-travel.club/client.html 终端] 页面曾短暂变为仅显示"help"字样。恢复后,6号成员(Number Six)的登录凭证获得了访问[https://web.archive.org/web/20200224213444/http://time-travel.club/client.html 终端] 的权限。 | |||
最开始访问返回拒绝访问的提示,后经贾斯汀在Twitch直播中证实这属于技术性问题。 | |||
而六号成员的登陆凭证是从下面这些渠道获得的: | |||
在[http://redpagespodcast.com/listen/art-has-no-meaning RPP 77]的ID3标签中,可以发现一个短语:“''密码就在你眼后''"(The password is behind your eye)” | |||
其后,一位参与ARG并赞助过RPP Patreon的用户收到实体信件,信件内容如下图: | |||
[[文件:青蛙分数2:PatreonEyes1.jpg|居中|缩略图|400x400像素]] | |||
[[文件:青蛙分数2:PatreonEyes2.jpg|居中|缩略图|400x400像素]] | |||
[[文件:青蛙分数2:PatreonEyes3.jpg|居中|缩略图]] | |||
所以就得到了新的用户名和登录密码: | |||
用户名:number six | |||
密码:theeyeshaveyou | |||
进去以后是一个标准的终端,里面有这些命令可以用: | |||
dir, email, exit, help [target], list [target], read [email date] | |||
[[文件:青蛙分数2:Sombra.png|缩略图]] | |||
同样,因为绝大部分都是剧情和无用信息所以这里就不过多描述了 | |||
不过在这个终端里面还是有一些有趣和好玩的内容的比如说在2016年8月28号,终端内出现一篇仿造《Sombra ARG》风格的新邮件,内容翻译如下: | |||
要不要试试另一种分数? | |||
因为当时游戏侦探正在努力破解同时期的另一个很有名的ARG《Sombra ARG》。青蛙分数2官方肯定也是关注到了这一点,所以也就进行了一次恶搞。 | |||
==== sigil ==== | |||
这里可以算是另一个完全独立的ARG了。只不过最终的解密结果和Terminal相关,具体可以看[[Eye Sigil ARG|这里]]。简要概括就是许多的玩家都在一些独立游戏里面发现一个 the eye标志和一个大图像的碎片。经过不断地寻找,最终玩家们在28个独立游戏里面都发现了sigil碎片,并随着看火人的一次更新找到了这些碎片使用的地方。经过漫长的解密以后,我们得到了新的用户名和登录密码: | |||
用户名:number one | |||
密码:elmourouj | |||
登陆进去以后,经过仔细寻找,我们可以发现这四个视频 | |||

|} | |||
不过很遗憾,这些视频完全没有任何有用的线索。 | |||
=== Indiecade 2015 === | |||
在2015年10月15日发布的《THD 23》中,音频的频谱图依旧是有东西的,在这次的频谱图的上方有一些额外的点。 | |||
[[文件:青蛙分数2:频谱图上的点.png|居中|缩略图|894x894像素]] | |||
经过试错,玩家们发现这些需要按照排成三行,一一对应以后可以发现是一段盲文,具体如下图: | |||
[[文件:频谱盲文.png|居中|缩略图|893x893像素]] | |||
34°1'30.5148"N 118°23'36.1932"W 这是Indiecade 2015的举办地坐标。 | |||
所以在Indiecade 2015展览中,一位ARG参与者来到了jim身边,并对他说了“17”以后(这个是RPP 62期的一个提示:“RPP提醒所有抵抗组织成员:如果你不以数字#17开头传达信息,那还不如什么都别说”)他们就让参与者从马里奥和路易吉的Amiibo手办中任选一个,对方选择了路易吉。 | |||
[[文件:青蛙分数2:路易吉amibo.jpg|缩略图]] | |||
2016年1月15日,这个路易吉Amiibo最终被扫描接入Wii U游戏机。系统显示该Amiibo的拥有者是"pastebin",而Amiibo名称是"DTP61rrp",这串字符指向了网页链接<nowiki/>http://pastebin.com/DTP61rrp<nowiki/>。 | |||
这个Pastebin内容显示为邮箱gustav.klimt.69@yandex.com发送的"备忘录"邮件标头信息。有玩家尝试去登录该邮箱,发现需要回答密码重置安全问题,具体是:“您母亲的婚前姓氏是什么?”答案是输入真实历史人物古斯塔夫·克林姆特母亲的婚前姓"芬斯特(Finster)。之后就收到了来自ltsamuelresist@gmail.com的邮件,大致内容就是给这个邮箱的主人公邮寄了物品。前去领取以后的内容如下图: | |||
[[文件:青蛙分数2:水晶.jpg|居中|缩略图|754x754像素]] | |||
不过可惜,里面并没有什么有用的线索。 | |||
==== 侏罗纪科技博物馆活动 ==== | |||
[[文件:青蛙分数2:侏罗纪科技博物馆.jpg|替代=1|缩略图]] | |||
2016年1月12日,贾斯汀[https://twitter.com/LordHuffnPuff/status/687021746227023872 发推]表示马里奥amiibo"免费送给有爱心的好人家"。当被问及邮寄事宜时,他要求必须亲自领取。他还补充说:"安全起见,“好人家'的标准之一就是要知道领取的时间和地点。" | |||
在[https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1v7ZnYNE9M/?spm_id_from=333.1387.homepage.video_card.click&vd_source=feedb8de83a3c989368887c5b7f591e9 《THD 37》]中,假如我们将视频下载下来,可以发现缩略图是[http://www.mjt.org/ 侏罗纪科技博物馆]的logo。 | |||
2016年2月6日,贾斯汀在Twitch直播中展示了马里奥amiibo,确认仍在寻找接收者。在由吉姆参与录制的[http://redpagespodcast.com/listen/neil-degrasse-titan 《RPP》第68期]中,ID3标签包含以下信息: | |||
Genre: A secret hidden in the ID3 tags, hello there friends | |||
Comment: vzthe.pbz/cU1Fd6o | |||
下面评论的内容,使用rot13解码过来以后就是: | |||
[https://imgur.com/pH1Sq6b imgur.com/pH1Sq6b] | |||
点击进去之后发现是一张日历图片,显示时钟指向2月18日下午2点,并附有留言:"别迟到 -6号" | |||
[[文件:青蛙分数2:RPP日历.png|居中|缩略图|570x570像素]] | |||
与此同时,gustav邮箱收到ltsamuel发来的一张地图图片,图中箭头从侏罗纪科技博物馆入口指向附近一个画着皇冠的公园。 | |||
[[文件:青蛙分数2:RPP地图.png|居中|缩略图|600x600像素]] | |||
而且,贾斯汀的推特已多次出现与国际象棋相关的暗示,还包括一组经过失真的图片——瑞秋·萨拉(Rachel Sala)的Tumblr上出现的乌鸦(象征国际象棋中的"车"),以及推特上流传的马匹图片(象征"马")。在[http://redpagespodcast.com/listen/he-is-number-zero 《RPP》第67期]开头,播客以"我们把兵走到g5"开始,这步棋正是"博格弃兵"的开局走法,并在活动现场实际重现。 | |||
当ARG参与者抵达现场时,贾斯汀和一名疑似《青蛙分数》系列画师瑞秋·萨拉的女孩已摆好棋盘,并将白兵推进至g5位置。马里奥Amiibo扮演黑王。当参与者索要Amiibo时,贾斯汀要求他们必须赢得这盘棋(贾斯汀执黑,参与者执白)。贾斯汀故意走错几步让参与者获胜后,突然出现一名戴着"锡纸"帽子、穿着背心的人,声称是"时间警察"并将其带离。现场有人询问是否需要帮助或跟随时,对方回答"不用"。 | |||
[[文件:青蛙分数2:抵抗军海报.jpg|缩略图|其中一张抵抗军海报]] | |||
和路易吉的amibo类似,马里奥amiibo由"imgur"用户"a/e4RLf"持有,链接为<nowiki/>http://imgur.com/a/e4RLf<nowiki/>,内含三张推测为抵抗组织制作的海报。 | |||
次日,Rachel将这些图片发布到她的tumblr。当下载tumblr上的图片并用记事本打开时,可见三个驼峰式拼写的单词: | |||
cyborgDirt | |||
distressedSparkles | |||
oldTree | |||
不过amibo的线索也就止步于此了,之后的推进中再也没有用到这些内容。 | |||
=== Indicade 2016 === | |||
==== 背景 ==== | |||
2016年9月18日,贾斯汀在他的twitch直播的时候展示了一个盒子,并一直强调观众都应该去参加今年的indiecade活动,Ryan Ike(《青蛙分数2》的作曲家)、Rachel Sala以及可能还有吉姆都会出席。10月12日,他再次直播呼吁人们参加Indiecade,称“时间线可能会崩塌”,并提到这个盒子只能在Indiecade现场获得,如果没人拿到就会永远错过。随后,他开始数正在玩的游戏(《风暴英雄》)中的肖像画数量,数到17时重复强调(这也是2015年Indiecade活动的密码)。 | |||
2016年10月15日,一位ARG参与者的朋友拿到了盒子,密码是17。他走到带着盒子的贾斯汀面前说“Seventeen”,贾斯汀便把盒子给了他,并叮嘱要保持盒子大致直立。当天吉斯坦在[https://twitter.com/LordHuffnPuff/status/787356181396385793 推特]上发布了盒子照片,随后又发[https://x.com/LordHuffnPuff/status/787401940498087937 推]“已认领”。 | |||
==== 内容 ==== | |||
2016年10月24日,盒子被打开,内含以下物品: | |||
[[文件:青蛙分数2:打开的盒子.jpg|缩略图|盒子被打开以后第一眼的样子]] | |||
一个普通木盒,重65.6克,高约18厘米 | |||
一个未拆封的草莓味Baby Bottle Pop棒棒糖 | |||
一些苔藓/地衣(可能是假的) | |||
四个小骷髅头 | |||
部分被沙子覆盖 | |||
一个亡灵节主题的骷髅迷宫(拆解后未发现隐藏内容) | |||
盒盖内侧及迷宫固定处贴有闪光胶带 | |||
想要看打开的盒子的全部的相关图片,可以看[[青蛙分数2:打开的盒子|这里]]。 | |||
==== 紫外线 ==== | |||
在2016年Indiecade活动结束几周后,经朋友建议,获得盒子的用户用紫外线灯照射盒子,发现了大量文字。盒盖顶部写有一串数字,侧面则刻有西里尔字母书写的俄文。 | |||

|} | |||
顶部的数字如下: | |||
9730098228905583 | |||
269874686586084998 | |||
81637310991215244 | |||
175564364133957374 | |||
51648068005811729 | |||
13136598424620810 | |||
然而,盒子内部有一条"哈哈,那是个骗局"的信息,并附上了修正后的第一行数字。 | |||
97300982289905583 | |||
269874686586084998 | |||
81637310991215244 | |||

51648068005811729 | |||
13136598424620810 | |||
盒子侧面的"是/否"提示可能指向二进制。将这些数字转换为二进制并用零填充至相同长度后数字如下: | |||
0101011001101011101011101001010101101011111011011110101111 | |||

0000101110101010111010101010101010101010000000111100001010 | |||
另一侧的"看"(See)则暗示盲文。将这些二进制按2x3的块分割并解码为盲文后得到: | |||
WITHSHAPELYBUTTSTHEYDONTPLAYF | |||
AIRYQOQRZPSOMQLSPTOKFDDYVCDMO | |||
合并为一行: | |||
'''with shapely butts they don't play fair yqoqrzpsomqlsptokfddyvcdmo''' | |||
这提示需要对后半段乱码使用Playfair密码解密。密码确定为'''callipygian'''。解密结果(注意Playfair规则中j=i): | |||
'''GOTOTWITTERATISTHEIIGUPYET''' | |||
即最终指令: | |||
'''"去[https://twitter.com/IsTheJigUpYet Twitter @IsTheJigUpYet]"''' | |||
=== IsTheJigUpYet和虫子火星 === | |||
[[文件:青蛙分数2:视频中的海报.jpg|缩略图|视频中出现的当前时间线海报]] | |||
在盒子谜题破解后的24小时内(2016年11月19日00:00 PST),Twitter账号@IsTheJigUpYet发布了一条ROT9加密的短链接(szk.cp/2x3BKJB,即bit.ly/2g3KTSK,不过现在已经删除了),指向名为"A Flesh Virtuosi Worm"("From Russia With Love"的字谜)的YouTube频道(现在这个频道也早已不存在)。当时该频道仅有一段标题为《Мы положим киндзу во все!!!》("我们会往所有东西里加香菜!!!")的无声电影风格视频(同样,视频早已无法播放),内容为几名疑似俄罗斯人讨论时间旅行、最近获得的盒子,以及饮用Ashby啤酒的场景。 | |||
频道描述写着"Теперь вы можете увидеть!"("现在你终于能看见了!"),后接一大段Base64编码。解码后得到一张条形码PNG图片,扫描后跳转至[http://pastebin.com/Ce3ziANv Pastebin上的另一段Base64],再解码生成二维码PNG。该二维码本身又是另一张数据矩阵图的Base64编码,最终导向的[https://pastebin.com/gxC0Qpg4 Pastebin]包含大量坐标数据。 | |||
将这些坐标绘制在地图上会呈现西里尔字母组成的句子"Не забудьте выпить ваш Овальтине"(直译为"别忘了喝你的阿华田")。这是关于"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdA__2tKoIU 加密信息最终只是广告梗]"的经典迷因(曾多次出现在Eye Sigil ARG的解密过程中)。但坐标的玄机不止于此——每个字母由一组偏离初始坐标整数值的坐标群构成(尽管原始坐标带有长小数位且位于特定地理位置),其中首字母坐标还被加粗标记(<nowiki><b></b></nowiki>),这些坐标都在后面的数据混洗的Zagmar图片中被用上了。 | |||
回到视频:某个镜头显示角色正在浏览另一个名为"The Museum of Relics of Extinct Timelines of Bug Mars"的YouTube频道,其名称"[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrt1LJo0glUwJO0022BqMPw A Fiend Bronzes Mugs]"实为"Denizens of Bug Mars"的字谜重组。 | |||
这个YouTube频道上传了大量的视频,视频本身的内容并不重要,重要的是每一个视频的简介里面都有一个DS和LaS标签(这两个之后会解释)。整理之后就有了以下的表格(因为视频本身的内容不重要所以这里的链接就都是油管的链接了) | |||

"DS"代表经过[[oeis:A270877|"衰减筛法"(Decaying sieve)]]处理后保留的数字序列 | |||
而"LaS"则指视频描述中出现的[https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%A4%96%E8%A7%80%E6%95%B8%E5%88%97 "外观数列"(Look-and-say sequence)]数字 | |||
这些坐标点基本分布在DS#16到DS#35、LaS#5到LaS#11构成的矩形区域内。现有的DS/LaS坐标点分布图显示,它们正在逐步拼出单词"BUTTS"的形态。后来BUTTS成为了一个梗,被疯狂用于ARG解密人员的玩梗和与官方人员的互动中(完整坐标映射图可参见[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aPVY0XkcWlYauaYCNSqdAx3hayL74XILSzFmqZrAp6A/edit?gid=0#gid=0 这个链接]) | |||

2016年11月24日[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7wg8ZTByzo&ab_channel=AFiendBronzesMugs 音乐视频]描述中链接的[http://pastebin.com/0Dw39izK Pastebin]内容如下: | |||

这是一个[[Befunge]]程序。运行时将输出 | |||
"What's the sound of infinite turkeys?GobblGobblGobblGobbl"("Gobbl"部分会无限循环) | |||
考虑到发布时间,这个小谜题可能是给我们的感恩节问候。 | |||
注:该程序本应无限输出"Gobble!",但由于无限循环缺少两个逗号,最后两个字符被无限压入堆栈而未打印。 | |||
解决此问题后不久,@RESIST_DECAY[https://x.com/RESIST_DECAY/status/801853751166279680 发推]称"Operation Gobbledrop"行动成功。 | |||
==== Closed for repairs ==== | |||
[[文件:青蛙分数2:虫子火星视频截图.jpg|缩略图]] | |||
2016年12月2日,频道更新了一个26秒的静态视频,内容和其他的视频不一样,显示:“CLOSED FOR REPAIRS”。画面类似YouTube的"视频不可用"界面,但带有"CEIKLMORS"字样和一个播放列表。视频描述仅写有"该视频或播放列表不存在" | |||
播放列表包含以下歌曲: | |||
1.Rogue Wave -- In the Morning | |||
2.The Jesus and Mary Chain -- Commercial | |||
3.Alabama Shakes -- Heavy Chevy | |||
4.Psychostick -- Numbers | |||
5.David Bowie -- Five Years | |||
6.The Flaming Lips -- Your Bats | |||
7.Florence + The Machine -- Between Two Lungs | |||
8.Rammstein -- Du Hast | |||
9.Ben Folds Five -- Brick | |||
10.Idlewild -- Bronze Medal | |||
11.Radiohead -- All I Need | |||
12.Chromeo -- Fancy Footwork | |||
"CEIKLMORS"中的字母已按字母顺序排列。视频时长26秒也暗指字母表数量。 | |||
所有歌曲都包含数字相关歌词(包括"Du Hast"中的"nine")。根据这些数字从"CEIKLMORS"中提取对应字母,可以得到 | |||
ROCKLEESMILE | |||
而这个指向一个youtube博主[https://www.youtube.com/@rockleesmile RockLeeSmile]在"Closed For Repairs"视频发布同时,他的频道上传了[https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1EsZbYaESN/ 《Resident Evil 7 - Don't Let Appearances Mislead You》]若将该视频加速并放大音量,可听到《Frog Fractions》初代游戏中的文本"boxing: a history"。在0:16秒处,白光中手部上方显示数字35.955;1:34秒右下角出现数字-83.93,这些是田纳西大学某分校图书馆的坐标。该图书馆藏有《Keys to the Insects of the European USSR. Volume V Pt.2》——这是"A Warning from the Vermicious Knids"视频描述中提到的相对冷门书籍。值得注意的是,自"Real Bugs Don't Eat Quiche"视频以来所有通过文物编号提及的书籍,都存放在该图书馆的同一个书架上。 | |||
==== Denizens of Bug Mars ==== | |||
之前我们提到过:<blockquote>YouTube频道的名称"[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrt1LJo0glUwJO0022BqMPw A Fiend Bronzes Mugs]"实为"Denizens of Bug Mars"的字谜重组</blockquote>这个后来被发现其实是一个facebook用户的用户名,这个页面发布的视频和图片都和YouTube频道相当类似。 | |||
在2016年11月19日的帖子中,出现了一个代码"6uCuB7Rc"以及提示,引导用户将其粘贴到Pastebin网站上,即 | |||
[https://pastebin.com/6uCuB7Rc pastebin.com/6uCuB7Rc] | |||
具体内容如下 | |||
Mr. Vigen Ere, | |||
Thank you :g your interest in our :hfdtf company. Your :vrfk comes at a good :time, | |||
as there is a space :in our dots and :dashes division. It is a :fun and exciting :place | |||

is open, and I think :from your friendly letter :that you will fit very :well in between | |||
our :existing zv projects. As luck :would have it, we :have one space in dots, :and two | |||
in dashes. :Do either of these wulxkxzurz :suit your needs? If :so, please write back | |||
as soon :as time allows :and let us know if :we'll have the pleasure of :working with | |||
you in the :future. I sincerely hope you :are able to make the :most of this :offer. | |||
Hoping you'll join our path, | |||
Jpvvvpvy :Traveler | |||
将空格视为点、双空格视为破折号、冒号作为分隔符,我们得到: | |||
.-../...--/.--/.----/...../.-../--.../.--/-..../.-../-..../.--/-..../.-../....-/.--/....-/.-../-..../.--/---../.-../...--/.--/.----/-..../.-../.----/...--/.--/..--- | |||
这段摩斯密码翻译后为 | |||
L3 W15 L7 W6 L6 W6 L4 W4 L6 W8 L3 W16 L13 W2 | |||
按照"第N行,第M个单词"的规则提取文字,得到: | |||
good luck from a friendly time Traveler | |||
如果记下所有看似"随机字母"的错误单词: | |||
g hfdtf vrfk szdx zv wulxkxzurz Jpvvvpvy。 | |||
用"good luck..."字符串作为密钥,通过Vigenère密码解密后得到: | |||
a trail that ends in shimmering Sparkles | |||
翻译过来就是 | |||
一条通往闪烁微光的路径 | |||
==== 图书馆 ==== | |||
2016年12月3日,由一位玩家前往了田纳西大学图书馆,并依次按照书的名字依次寻找过去,最终,他们在5本书中都找到了一个相同的小纸条,上面写着: | |||
4kmVdND3 | |||
这是一个Pastebin的网址: | |||
https://pastebin.com/4kmVdND3 | |||
内容如下: | |||
However you made it here, it must have been an astounding feat. | |||
I'll be brief; I cannot post anything obvious here. A certain level of obfuscation is... required. | |||
A box was stolen from us. Or, depending on your perspective, many boxes at many times. | |||
There was a password associated with this box; email it to me through a secure channel. You may have been searching for something... something beyond the reward of the journey itself. Or not; I obviously can't know your motivations. | |||
TTraveler0451@gmail.com | |||
翻译过来就是: | |||
不论你如何抵达此处,这必定是项惊人壮举。 | |||
长话短说:我无法在此透露明显信息。某种程度的混淆...是必要的。 | |||
有人从我们这里窃走了一个盒子。或者——取决于你的视角——是许多时空中的许多盒子。 | |||
这个盒子关联着一个密码;请通过安全渠道将其电邮给我。你或许在追寻某物...某种超越旅程本身回报的东西。当然,我无从揣测你的动机。 | |||
联络方式 | |||

"该死的- | |||

无论发现什么,请务必回复我。我相信这个渠道目前是安全的。按照你们的相对时间概念,我会'很快'回到这条时间线。" | |||
附件是一张名为"sacre.png"的图片。 | |||

Chirp French Butts [https://twitter.com/60minutesto @60minutesto] | |||
[[文件:青蛙分数2:escaperoom.jpg|缩略图]] | |||
这是俄勒冈州波特兰市一家密室逃脱游戏设施"Chirp French Butts"的推特账号,该设施有一个名为"抵抗之火"的主题密室,剧情涉及特工失踪和时间旅行者绑架开发者,其官网展示了一个[https://www.60minutestoescape.com/ 转盘电话],而sacre.png似乎基于该场所拍摄的照片,该密室的一名员工曾协助解决过早期的amiibo线索 | |||
2016年12月12日,一个小组参加了密室逃脱的特别场次。他们需要帮助一名双重间谍从一个类似俄罗斯的国家逃脱,并获得了一把带有青蛙钥匙扣的钥匙,以及一张写有先前找到的密码"elmourouj"(对应"Number One")的纸条。 | |||
==== 数据损坏的Zagmar图像 ==== | |||
[[文件:青蛙分数2:数据损坏的zagmar.jpg|缩略图]] | |||
2016年11月23日发现的坐标列表(源于@IsTheJigUpYet推文的最终线索)对应地球上特定城市。若提取这些城市名称的首字母,可拼出以下信息: | |||
'''YOURJIMISINDANGERGOOGLARSW0C''' | |||
(即:'''Your Jim is in danger → goo.gl/aRsw0c''') | |||
该链接指向2016年11月5日上传的一幅'''数据损坏(datamoshed)的Zagmar图像'''。 | |||
对比原始的图像,我们可以发现数据损坏的图片中有下面的这些文本 | |||
We are aware of the Transgressions of those who would bring the Decay faster than Natural Order would dictate, to suit their own vile Designs. | |||
They must be stopped, by any and all Means. | |||
Follow me, for the one true Path is that which inverts the Universe and exposes us to our Creator. | |||
Do not imprison the Keys to your Salvation; neither in your Mind, nor in your Reality. | |||
翻译过来就是 | |||
“我们已知晓那些加速‘腐朽’之人的罪行——他们违背自然秩序,只为满足自身卑劣的企图。必须不择手段阻止他们。追随我,因真正的路径将倒转宇宙,使我们直面造物主。莫将救赎之钥禁锢于思想或现实之中。” | |||

这个编号QL641.A12 H35 2000的书就在Marian Koshland生物科学与自然资源图书馆——正是谜题中另一个答案所指的图书馆。该书是Sally Haines所著的《Slithy toves》,书名引用了《爱丽丝镜中奇遇》中的造词"Jabberwocky"、 | |||
==== ashby的信 ==== | |||
2016年12月12日,玩家前往那个图书馆,并在里面发现了一张折叠的纸,里面又一张ashby的信件,原文如下(同样因为剧情相关就不翻译了), | |||
Reader, greetings to you. Please, let me confess my tale. Your timeline will be the only one to contain this artifact, unless there are other versions of myself whom have gotten the same idea. I cannot, of course, vouch for their actions. They are… it hardly matters. Forgive me; I am getting too far ahead of myself. I will try not to get bogged down in details. | |||
When I was young, it seemed too that the world was young. Before I write about any of my journeys, let me tell you this: I was happy once, and so was Gustav. We played in a tree swing, in a big, old chestnut, which creaked and croaked in a way that suggested a song. We leapt between stones in the creek, and studied our maths. I was good at catching fireflies on summer nights, those brilliant motes of life rising into the sky. Gustav drew pictures, inventing bizarre characters that accompanied us in our play. I planned to become a botanist. Gustav would settle for nothing less than traveling to distant stars. I chided him for having such elaborate dreams, but in the end I was happy that we dreamed together. | |||
When the Tunisians approached us, we were no longer children, but neither were we truly adults. They had seen us through their strange machines, and determined our importance to future dealings surrounding a great event. They made it their mission to find us and teach us the ways of travel between timelines. Gustav spoke to them in French. When had he learned French? He spoke to a woman with a certain familiarity before they were formally introduced. I did not understand, but then I only knew a very few words in any foreign language. They were offering us something unusual. They wanted to demonstrate. | |||
The first portal they opened for us was to some Eden. It was astounding. Blue and purple moons rose over tropical pools. A scent like jasmine floated on soft breezes, over rolling hills that led off to vertical escarpments grazing the sky. I have never found this place again, for they never shared these, or any other time-space coordinates with us. Gustav tore off his shoes and dove into one of those silken-water pools with no regard for what might be waiting under the surface. He knew, somehow, that they had brought us to a place meant to entice; a place that would be safe for us. I am still puzzled as to what bred such confidence. | |||
Beyond the knowledge that we were somehow crucial to events in some other time and place, the Tunisians had no information, and no inkling of how we would eventually set the awesome mechanisms of our choices into their courses of influence. What they gave us was merely teaching without any advice on how to employ them. It was unwise, what they did, but they had plans of their own, they said. It was their way. They were resistant to changing their approach. Gustav and I could barely contain our excitement at having been told we were to be masters of time travel, very much out of the blue and quite in keeping with how special, nay, truly incredible, the exuberance of youth had convinced us we were. “Quelles époques désirez-vous visiter d’abord?” they addressed us. “Les passé!” Gustav shouted. “The future!” I proclaimed simultaneously. We looked at one another. Gustav had a wry smile. His intentions were unreadable. I was confused. I reached for him, and he walked confidently into the past, without looking back for a moment. I faltered. He had left, but why? I thought I was right. The future! The future... was the future. How could we deny ourselves a glimpse of that? | |||
We parted, there, unexpectedly, with that disagreement. I so want to remember it as a minor thing, but perhaps there was slight animosity; having shared our lives for so long, now we were fundamentally divided as to our goals. That specific memory feels hollow now, having revisited it so often… a story’s shell, devoid of feeling. I don’t know what happened. I will never recover the true memory. | |||
I have never been able to revisit that moment bodily. For all of my searching in time and space, and through the timelines I could discover, I have never seen him again, nor have I encountered any evidence of him. On reflection, it was not I who was special, though I will not say the same of Gustav. It was, however, our friendship that was so extraordinary; a connection that by its astonishing nature has persisted clearly in my mind, while oceans of later experience have foundered and sunk below oceans of forgotten memories. I have no doubt he became a great artist of some kind. His imagination was a great Cathedral, or even more than this - vast cities of ideas, waiting to explored and understood, When we were children, he would sing songs of planets of insects, and the hungry frogs that would settle in their midst, undetected. He wrote stories that felt as if they were real, and he was only a conduit through which they passed. This may have been the case. I have seen things beyond explanation in my travels; worlds nearly prophesied by his inventions. | |||
The future turned out to be a bleaker existence than one might imagine. There is no joy in seeing cities that once housed your schoolmates ground to rubble through the relentless action of time; no pleasant feeling in seeing your family home decrepit, ruined and eventually forgotten as all things are and must necessarily be. The curiosity you sate by discovering the fates of the people and thing most beloved to you is - like lightning - flashed away into the massive loneliness experienced without them. I sat in front of my childhood home. I said, “I give your eulogy, house, and I will represent humanity, and you will represent the civilizations so vast that my heart cannot comprehend their loss.” I sat there, weeping, and resolved to find my friend. Gustav had made the wiser choice, travelling back to see the world when it was vibrant. He must have had a chance to learn from the masters. To grow also, and mature in a way that was denied to my young self. I took my opportunities and threw them to the cruel winds, on which sailed the Decay. | |||
I have nothing to tell you of the Decay, other than that the time traveling itself has brought it. At least, this is what I theorize. I am not sure how they are related, but I knew nothing of this vile occurrence before we encountered the Tunisian scientists. I have never encountered it myself by opening a portal. It is likely that those otherworldly scientists had a hand in all of this, and their mistake was what caused them to seek out Gustav and myself. You will not find evidence of them, as our first encounter was during the gold rush in San Francisco. The portals they opened and much of their clockwork gadgetry were destroyed in an earthquake some decades later. Though the pull of those original portals is strong. You can still sometimes see the timelines crossing through in this location on earth. | |||
Eventually I followed in Gustav’s path and traveled pastward. It was only then that I started recording my travels, trying, with increasing… and then decreasing… desperation to find Gustav. At first I wished to apologize or explain myself, to demand an apology or an explanation. Eventually, I just desired to see that he existed, and that he was not my own mind’s invention. I have resigned myself to writing this confession, and leaving tokens of my friendship in the timelines I visit. Your may have already speculated that for all of my meanderings through time and space, that there is a vanishingly small chance that I am, in fact, your timeline’s Ashby. Perhaps ownership of “your Ashby,” that is, the Ashby that originated in your timeline, means something to you. Now that I can take these moments to reflect, I see that “belonging to a timeline” is a feeling I can no longer identify in any of my thoughts. Indeed, the issue of where and when each us belongs is, to me, merely a matter of accounting. | |||
Reader, make your decision. Travel without care and let the universe decide your fate, or plan the safer route. I cannot tell you that my way of journeying is the better way. For some of us, we do not end where we think we should. We end at a time and a place that once felt wild and infinite, and suddenly feels quite lonely, or halts unexpectedly. In that, I see no difference in how we choose. | |||
I am leaving an artifact here, and in every timeline I visit. If Gustav should find one of these, he will know that I think of him, often. | |||
[[文件:FF2 models 01.jpg|缩略图|其中一个3d模型的样子]] | |||
信件的右上角还藏有一组代码:'''znjnlq5'''。这组代码最终被证实对应一个TinyURL短链接——'''[https://tinyurl.com/znjnlq5 tinyurl.com/znjnlq5](现在已经失效)''',该链接指向标题为《汤类食谱》的Google Drive文件夹。里面有一个文本文件和一些3d模型文件。 | |||
这些3D模型设计有插销和孔洞结构,经3D打印后可互相堆叠组装——莲叶垫在底部,青蛙置于顶端。整体来看,这似乎是本次调查线索的终极奖励。 | |||
=== Unboxing Story === | |||
2016年12月15日,在twinbread网站(旧页面新增链接)上发现了新线索。后续另有线索将TTraveler0451的追踪路径与此发现相关联。 | |||
该链接指向一个[https://pan.baidu.com/s/1uft_6DamsSBhSfG2sS-FIg?pwd=pfh Unity游戏压缩包](原链接已经失效,该链接为后期整理包含游戏本体和解包文件):仿照《Her Story》风格制作的《Unboxing Story》。游戏中可输入关键词并观看前5条匹配的监控录像视频(不过因为bug有些系统上可能无法观看视频)。根据HTTP的Last-Modified字段,该压缩包于2016年12月13日上传至网站。 | |||
游戏内一共有63个视频,61个正常视频,一个隐藏视频和一个需要复杂的步骤才能得到的终极视频。正常视频这里就不过多描述了,这里直接说隐藏视频的观看方法。 | |||
==== 隐藏视频 ==== | |||
玩家可以通过输入下面的任意关键词来解锁隐藏视频: | |||
''mystery hidden secret mysterious secrecy enigma'' | |||
[[文件:Ff2-unboxing-story-sigil-map.jpg|缩略图]] | |||
视频内容展示了一个完整的 Eye Sigil ARG 的地图。有一些桶和一些黑色的物质组成,然后一只猫从上面跳过,并碰到了其中一个代表圆形节点的桶,音频就是两个人用很滑稽的语调重复说着“'''password'''”。同时被放慢了4-5倍。 | |||
[[文件:FF2 Unboxing Story Sigil Maze.png|缩略图]] | |||
观看过这个视频之后,我们可以通过输入在Eye Sigil ARG中得到的答案“'''elmourouj'''”来进入“sigil maze” | |||
==== Sigil Maze ==== | |||
在迷宫中,玩家控制一个ASCII字符上下左右移动,每进入一个新画面都会显示一个"眼之符记ARG"的符印(不同前景/背景色组合)。当从画面边缘离开时,角落的数字会递减。初始计数器为20(对应灰底黑字的符印),即玩家共有20步移动机会。 | |||
若按"错误"路径移动,最终会回到起始画面。但若遵循"正确"路径,将解锁第63段隐藏视频(游戏文件中加密存储,预览图是青蛙图案)。此后使用密码"elmourouj"将直接播放该视频,无法再返回符记迷宫。 | |||
但存在误判情况:某些路径会被错误识别为正确(例如当前记录的路径:下x11→右x1→下x1→左x2→上x2→左x1→右x1→下x1),导致视频解密失败无法播放。 | |||
正确的迷宫通关方法是依据符记地图本身的路径指引(地图上20个节点对应20步移动): | |||
* 当节点位于'''直线路径'''时 → 在迷宫中向上(UP)移动 | |||
* 当节点位于'''转角处'''时 → 按'''即将转向的方向'''移动 | |||
完整移动序列为: | |||
'''上 左 左 上 上 上 右 右 上 上 上 左 左 上 左 上 上 左 左 上''' | |||
最后解出的视频可在[https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1buZhYnEV8/?share_source=copy_web&vd_source=6b9818128c7ced4665bfecfbe857ed6f 这里]查看. | |||
而其中的一位玩家Randomiser在破解符记迷宫后,已按要求将联系地址发送给指定收件人。 | |||
=== 尾声 === | |||
2016年12月19日,在寄出地址仅一个工作日后,包裹就送达了。包裹内含6个防震气囊(其中1个破损),与气泡纸共同保护着看似是《青蛙分数2》启动器的物品。这个启动器是需要钥匙的,而对应的钥匙就是之前在密室逃脱获得的钥匙。 | |||
启动视频见[https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1k6Z8YgEkB/?share_source=copy_web&vd_source=6b9818128c7ced4665bfecfbe857ed6f 这里] | |||
按钮触发后,"A Flesh Virtuosi Worm"频道(即From Russia With Love)立即更新视频[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cdq_-AZsglk 《Ну, мы оторвались на славу!》](现在已经被删除)(意为"我们狂欢得太棒了!"),描述栏致谢"非常震撼" | |||
视频中朗读的书籍正是Justin此前收购亚马逊低价库存的版本(存档于Imgur) | |||
同步更新"Denizends of Bug Mars"脸书页面,重要引述: | |||
"你追寻之物早已存在,只需在某个角落找到它!" | |||
2016年12月26日,当"启动FF2"按钮被按下时,人们注意到一款游戏突然发布了大型更新(更新体积达游戏本体一半),且更新日志包含大量ARG相关词汇(闪光、腐朽、按钮按压等)。这款游戏正是《Glittermitten Groves》,而这游戏最终也被证实就是那个被玩家一直寻找的青蛙分数2。青蛙分数2ARG也就此宣告结束 | |||

介绍
青蛙分数2ARG是由twinbread制作的一个非常纯粹的网络ARG,整个ARG的目的就只有一个,就是找到青蛙分数2这个游戏。并由此和玩家展开了一段非常庞大复杂的你追我赶的ARG
信息
名字 | 青蛙分数2ARG |
状态 | 已结束(不可重复游玩) |
开始时间 | 2014年3月10日 |
结束时间 | 2016年12月26日 |
制作者 | twinbread |
流程
前言
因为青蛙分数2的流程和整个事件的复杂度,所以这里只会叙述ARG本身,ARG以外的内容不会去涉及。如有想要了解更多更加详细的内容,可以去看看game detective wiki上的文章。文章链接在这里【插入链接】
以及本文不会涉及青蛙分数2的剧情部分(主要是制作者对于剧情完全不上心,完完全全就是在瞎搞,讲了也是完全浪费时间)
众筹
2014年3月10日,青蛙分数2在kickstarter上开始了众筹,在众筹页面上说了一大堆的意义不明的话。总结下来就是这4点
1.游戏不会命名为青蛙分数2或者和青蛙分数有任何的相似之处。 2.这款游戏的制作者不会是twinbread 3.游戏的发布时间未知 4.当游戏被找到的时候,所有的支持者才会得到游戏的副本
这也就说明了这个ARG的最终目的就是找到青蛙分数2这个游戏。
宣传视频
和众筹页面一起的还有一个宣传视频。在这个视频中有两个需要注意的点。(事实上是3个,另外一个是剧情相关)
- 2分26到2分37秒到时候有一个女声重复0451(这个是一个相当经典的密码)
- 视频的最后的黑板上有着大量的书写内容

黑板中写了一段url,地址为(友情提示,如果读者想要自己跟着流程走一遍的话很多网页目前都是不可用的,推荐使用wayback machine)
http://twinbeard.com/eolo5387.html
网页内有一个面包图片和一行文字:“抱歉,请再试一遍”

这里仔细看网站的url可以发现“beard”这个单词拼错了,将单词拼正确之后就是这个网页
http://twinbread.com/eolo5387.html
网页是一幅字符画。

这里我们可以发现这个网页是一个二级页面,将后面的后缀删除我们可以进入主页面

翻译过来就是

rickroll
我们回到eolo5387子页面。
我们可以看到组成这张字符画的字符绝大多数都是由brainfuck字符组成,如果将所有的brainfuck字符移除,我嘛可以看到这个文本。
watch?v=YzVP-gRfRTY

这个是一个youtube视频的后缀,对应的视频是这个
视频内的声音是藏有东西的,不过需要一系列的相当复杂的步骤,具体步骤如下。
1.将音频反转 2.使用UberCassette转换为TAP格式 3.通过TAPClean将其编译成.prg文件 4.在 VICE 中运行。
经过这一系列的步骤,最终我们得到了这张图片

egb13.ugzy
凯撒移位13位之后,我们就得到这个
rot13.html
在网页中我们可以找到一个奇怪的rom,名字叫castlevania_passacaglia_of_disrepair(点击下载)

而这个rom可以用gba模拟器打开,打开以后是经典的rickroll

给奥巴马剃胡子!!!!!!
在子页面http://twinbread.com/makebread.html中,我们可以看到这一段制作面包的步骤
TYPE 101675 ON KEYPAD PUT FLOUR IN BREAD MACHINE PUT SALT IN BREAD MACHINE PUT MILK IN BREAD MACHINE PUT WATER IN BREAD MACHINE PUT BUTTER IN BREAD MACHINE PUT HONEY IN BREAD MACHINE PUT YEAST IN BREAD MACHINE PUT GLUTEN IN BREAD MACHINE PUT MALT IN BREAD MACHINE PUT SUGAR IN BREAD MACHINE PUT EGG IN BREAD MACHINE PUT CORN IN BREAD MACHINE PRESS START FORE FORE GO TO SLEEP
这些指示比起现实中的制作面包的步骤,更像是一串串的游戏指令。在前作青蛙分数中有一段文字冒险的流程,而我们也可以将这些指令输入到这里。,输入完成以后,我们可以得到这个指示

"You wake to the smell of freshly baked bread. A wispy human figure in a bathrobe and crown walks in, carrying a loaf of sliced bread. "It's ready!" she says. Then she gets a good look at you. "Oh dear. No time for bread; you have to do something about that beard before your meeting starts!" She pushes you into the bathroom.
翻译过来就是
你醒来时,闻到了刚出炉面包的香气。一个穿着浴袍和王冠、若隐若现的人形走进来,手里拿着一袋切片面包。“好了!”她说。然后她仔细打量了你一眼。“天哪。没时间吃面包了;你的会议要开始了,你得先处理一下那胡子才行!”她把你推到了浴室里。
之后玩家就被带到了这个页面http://abeardforevervoyaging.com/leadership.html(现在很难正常游玩) 里面是一个给奥巴马剃胡子的小游戏。

在每次奥巴马刮胡结束后,会显示一些推文。如果奥巴马的胡子刮得完美无瑕,其中一条推文将会包含以下信息:
Kenneth Salazar @Salza . @OBeardy. If you want to see PUBLIC_FIGURE alive again, bring the money to 37.871764,-122.265303 at 2014-04-05, 3PM local time.
翻译过来就是
肯尼斯·萨拉萨尔 @Salza . @OBeardy。如果你想再次看到公众人物,带上钱在本地时间2014年4月5日的下午3点到这个坐标位置:37.871764,-122.265303。
文中的地点是一个真实存在的地点,青蛙分数2ARG解密也就进入了线下阶段
现实
时空旅行者的抓捕
2014年4月5日,吉姆·克劳福德(Jim Crawford)按照指定的聚会坐标携带一个棕色纸袋指定的地点,并给同样到了这里的人分发了名片,这些名片他也在参加GDC的时候使用过,背面印有Twinbeard标志和一些字符:
JCRNWmZiVE5DXGhfTg==
将卡片放置于光线之下的时候会显示出另一段文字

经过一段时间,吉姆带领着团队离开了校园。走了一小段距离后,人群中的一名男子,戴着一顶高高的礼帽,突然大喊一声“够了!”然后对准吉姆掏出一把塑料手枪。一群时间警察随即赶到并逮捕了吉姆,在此过程中,他将棕色纸袋扔到了地上。一对相反方向的时空旅行者出现了,而被捕的时间警察则乘汽车逃离现场,与追逐他们的相反方向的旅行者展开了一场追逐战。一名摩托车手出现给团队传递了一个信息后也离开了。这里是当时同行者拍摄的视频。
玩家可以在这里看到袋子里面的内容的照片,里面有
12张擦手纸 4根塑料叉子 4根塑料汤匙:其中一个擦手纸上有一个贴有瓢虫的花卉贴纸。 木蛙雕像:它在其中一面刻有昆虫贴纸。 真真正正的花和仙人掌叶 软盘:10 个未标记的软盘,用锡箔包裹。大多数软盘上都有瓢虫或青蛙的贴纸。 每张软盘里面都有一张虫子色图
虫子色图!!!!!!
在10张软盘中可以得到5个压缩包,和5张虫子色图,虫子色图的详细图片可以在这里观看,每一张虫子色图exif数据都有一些字符,具体请看下表:
这串字符首先经过hex转换,在使用EBCDIC编码转换以后就会得到下面这句话
COFFEE WITH A PAT OF BUTTER; OMELET WITH CH EESE AND BACON; HASH B ROWNS; TOAST WITH BUTT ER AND STAWBERRY JAM
翻译过来就是
咖啡配一小块黄油、煎蛋卷内含奶酪与培根、炸土豆饼以及烤面包涂上黄油并搭配草莓果酱。
之后就是那五个压缩包,分别是:“stinky.arj, stinky.a01, stinky.a02, stinky.a03, stinky.a04”。这五个压缩包都需要密码才能打开,密码正是之前提到的“0451”。打开以后里面有一个视频,可以在这里看到
Train Hot Dog and Red Pages Podcast
Train Hot Dog (THD) 是一个每周播客节目,里面的内容是 Jim Crawford 在乘坐火车的时候进行的讨论。首期播客于2015年5月28日发布。播客的第一集首先发布在 Twinbeard YouTube 频道上,之后再发布到 trainhotdog.cool 网站。播客的听众被称为“乘客”,他们可以通过拨打 "乘客邮件" 号码进行提问,这些号码是469-BEARDS-4 或者 469-CEASE-PI,或者通过在 YouTube 视频下的评论区提交问题。
在第十二集里,有一个声音说:“Brought to you by time dash travel dot club”,因为这个我们发现了time-travel.club(这个网站之后会重点介绍)。而这个发现也证明Train Hot Dog参与了青蛙分数2(这句话我们后面会说很多很多很多次)
与此同时,trainhotdog.cool网站也有变动(需要2015年7月30日之后的网站切片),网站下方有一段话:“To leave a Rider Mail, call (469) BEA-RDS4”。在第十二期播出以后“call (469) BEA-RDS4”这串字符加入了一个链接。
https://web.archive.org/web/20170702174639if_/http://trainhotdog.asymmetric.net/beards.jpg
点击以后我们就发现了这张图片

这张是一张魔术眼的图片,里面隐藏了一句话DANGER SPARKLES

Red Pages Podcast(RPP)是一个以电子游戏和书籍为主题的播客,由《Frog Fractions 2》的作者Justin Bortnick和他的朋友们Gord和Paul共同主持。播客的内容发布在其官方网站上。
在“Extrasode 3: Chatting with Jim Crawford”这期中,在第 37 分 30 秒到大约第 40 分钟之间,可以听到一些杂音。里面是摩斯电码,翻译过来就是
RPS SSENIHSUM TNAREBUXE ERIM SSENIHSUM TNAREBUXE ERIM
将文字反转过来,就是
MIRE EXUBERANT MUSHINESS MIRE EXUBERANT MUSHINESS SPR
将重复的话翻译过来就是
泥潭旺盛的粘液
而且对应的背景音中也引用了“我,机器人”的作者艾萨克·阿西莫夫的话:
"You can't tell them," droned the psychologist slowly, "because that would hurt and you mustn't hurt. But if you don't tell them, you hurt, so you must tell them. And if you do, you will hurt and you mustn't, so you can't tell them; but if you don't, you hurt, so you must; but if you do, you hurt, so you mustn't; but if you don't, you hurt, so you must。。。。。
翻译过来就是
"你不能告诉他们," 心理学家慢悠悠地说, "因为那会伤害到他们,而你不应该让他们受到伤害。但如果你不告诉他们, 你自己会感到痛苦, 所以你需要去告诉他们。如果去了告诉他们, 自己又会感到痛苦且不应该被伤害,所以你不能告诉他们;但如果不去告诉他们,你会受苦的,所以你应该去告诉他们;但是如果你去告诉了他们,你会受到伤害并且不应该这样,所以你无法去告诉他们;但如果我们不去告诉他们,我们也会有痛苦,所以我们应该去告诉他们;但如果我们去告诉他们,我们会感到痛苦且不应如此,因此我们不能去告诉他们;但如果我们不告诉他们,我们仍然会受苦,所以我们应该去告诉他们。。。。。。
而这个发现也证明Red Pages Podcast参与了青蛙分数2。
Ashby Brewery and Indie Games Studio
在青蛙分数2的宣传片中我们就可以看到亨特和艾米这对夫妇和他们的独立游戏工作室,同年4月推出的《Kickstarter模拟器》游戏中,这对夫妇再次现身,但是我们并没有在那个游戏中找到任何有效和有用的线索
吉姆早在2012年就在个人博客上提到过阿什比啤酒厂和独立游戏工作室,并附上了一张啤酒标签的照片。他说这个啤酒是他的室友约翰酿造的,还半开玩笑地表示希望啤酒上没有Twinbeard的品牌标识。原文链接在这里

这篇帖子上面有提到一个樱桃小麦啤酒,并且我们也发现在相同的时间段内,有一个同名的推特账号使用了这个照片作为头像
2015年9月23日,《青蛙分数2》(Frog Fractions 2)的Kickstarter项目发布了第11号更新(视频点击这里)。这个视频主要就是说的阿什比啤酒厂与独立游戏工作室的《2015年秋季季度酿酒通讯》,有三个特定单词前出现了音频故障:
1. 0:55的“decay”
2. 1:44的“truth”
3. 2:08的“info”
将这些单词组合起来,可得到网址
http://decaytruth.info
这个网站正是阿什比啤酒厂的官方网站。
该网站声称啤酒厂创立于1777年,但根据创始人查尔斯·阿什比在时间线上明显矛盾的传记描述,他显然是一名时空旅行者。网站还标注了一个营业时间及地址,前往那个地址发现其实是一家杂货店,且并不销售阿什比啤酒。
此外,在隐私政策页面的最底下有一个“π”符号若在登录框中两次输入相同单词,系统会返回该单词并附带一个问号(例如输入"test"会返回"test?")。英文这个特性,我们可以玩一些有趣的东西,比如返回一个青蛙分数1游戏什么的

在这个网站的每一个页面里面都有一段MD5值,经过暴力破解之后我们可以发现这些值都是我们当前的ip加上一个字符。具体如下:
Index: MD5(IP + '1') Hours: MD5(IP + '2') About: MD5(IP + 'b') Menu: MD5(IP + 'z') Beer: MD5(IP + 'a') Privacy: MD5(IP + 'y') Admin: MD5(IP + 'x')
所有的字符组合在一起就是
12bzayx
访问者的IP地址还会影响啤酒101页面上"Hops marley malt yeast and water"这一字符串中哪个单词会被大写。目前尚不清楚为何这样设计。
2016年8月27日,Justin在他的Twitch直播中喝了阿什比啤酒厂与独立游戏工作室的姜汁啤酒。他坚称这家啤酒厂很容易找到,并提到了一个电话号码,还表示该啤酒的配方源自1901年——这一说法在他的直播中经常被提及。
有用户向这个被认为已停用的推特账号发推文后,该账号不仅做出了回应,随后还发布了一条推文。
One of our most popular brews is our classic 1901 recipe for ginger beer! Why not stop in and try one?
翻译过来就是:
我们最受欢迎的酿造款之一就是经典的1901年姜汁啤酒配方!何不亲自来尝一杯呢?
Time-travel.club
这个网站是在火车热狗的第十二集被发现的,表面上看,time-travel.club(TTC)网站像是一个业余时间旅行爱好者制作的粗糙网站。网站包含三个可点击链接:
- 第一个浮动链接显示"想了解
时间旅行吗?",点击后会跳转至一个直接复制粘贴科幻维基百科中"时间旅行"词条的页面 - "关于我们"页面会导向404错误页,页面充斥着大量"施工中"的GIF动图
- "登录"链接最初会跳转至相同页面,但后期更改为accesslevelalpha.php入口
成功登录后可见页面标题为"未来抵抗组织驻防1.50版"(简称FROG 1.5)。该网站实际上是一个被称为"The Resistance"组织的主站点,后续剧情揭示该组织成员实为对抗名为"Decay"实体的赛博格,这构成了整个ARG(替代现实游戏)故事的核心主线(剧情什么的本文不过多介绍了)。

贾斯汀·博特尼克曾从他的推特账号发布了一条关于新超级马里奥制造关卡代码的推文(该推文似乎已被删除),关卡代码为04AA-0000-00A6-45F2。
在一个名为"Dispatch 2"的关卡中,方块拼出了"PWD:SCREAMED"。
这一内容呼应了《RPP Extrasode 3》中"I, Robot"短语的结尾部分——故事接下来的台词是"-and Herbie screamed."。


2015年10月11日,RPP还发布了一条推文:"昨天红页办公室收到了这个,附带一张来自'Herbie'的纸条,写着'碎片在你们手中'。诡异!"推文配图是一张经过机械化改造的黑桃K图片(这张图片与THD 10的频谱图存在对应关系)。
这两个点都证明这个密码对应的用户名就是:“Herbie”
所以我们得到了新的用户名和登录密码:
用户名:Herbie 密码:screamed
使用用户名和登录密码登陆进去以后可以得到这一段文字(同样,内容不翻译)

Number Six(未修改前)
此外,在《马里奥制造》的关卡中,那些方块实际上是摩斯密码,破解之后是"Hello Number Six"。
(注意,以下内容存疑)
在之前的RPP播客中,那段摩斯密码被证实是一个字母重组,揭开以后的内容是:"Username is the number six password is revolution",所以我们就得到了新的用户名和登录密码
用户名:number six 密码:revolution
登陆以后显示:

2015年12月15日,Polygon网站发表了一篇名为《如何为奥巴马刮胡子:解密历时近两年的<青蛙分数2>寻宝之旅》的ARG事件总结文章。在评论区,用户LordHuffNPuff(即Justin Bortnick的已知别名)留言道:

拨打该号码后会听到留言:"这里是抵抗组织特工3764,萨缪尔中尉。我可能正在执行保护人类幸存者的任务,或者在训练新兵,但如果我没死也没被奴役,留言必回!"该录音存档于此。
2016年1月6日,虫火星旅行社向留下电话号码的参与者进行了回电,告知其旅行密语为"caravanserai",来电者特别强调了这个单词的拼写方式。
所以我们就得到了新的用户名和登录密码:

在2016年的GDC大会上,贾斯汀发推表示他制作了一张全新的名片,因为那个时候没有没有人进当时的GDC会场,所以同行的一个开发者分享了具体的名片的图片,而且在同期的活动上,他们也分发了4张虫子贴纸,这四张贴纸的图案后来在青蛙分数的facebook主页发布。该名片采用螺旋状文字排列,其中包含红色字母。原文如下(红色字母用[]标注):
They arrived at dusk. The experimets had been wildly successfu[l], more so than we could have hoped or feared. At first, we welc[o]med them. The people of Tunisia are friendly and, [g]enerally, we expected that our vis[i]tors would treat us with the same wonder and amazement with which we regarded them. That could [n]ot have been further from the truth. They did not care about our presence, or lives, or [c]ities, or us. They went about their brutal business as if we were ants in their path: with a comp[l]ete disregard for our [e]xistence. Their capability for warfare thwarted our greatest weaponry, and their unearthly abilities countered the strategies of our greatest [m]ilitary and scientific leaders. As the d[e]cay radiated out like a cancer from the Tunisia[n] coast, those in power around the world watched in helple[s]ness, knowing that soon their nations would suffer the same fate as outs. There are at this [p]oint in history fe[w] of us remaining. Those who survived have banded [t]ogether [u]nder the guidance of we origi[n]al six, though at this point only four remain. Our numbers are smaller by the day, and our enemy has all but forgotten us. Their victory was total, an[d] out defeat pushed ou[r] species to the brink of extinction. We now resist the decay. We hide. We w[a]it. And we plan. -Excerpt from An Oral History of the Decay, Interview 8674-B

同样的,e-Mail链接指向的也是一个网页返回500错误的一个页面。就和之前的more链接一样
Number Six(更新后)
2016年3月前后,Number Six登录页面发售了变化,变成了下面这段文字:

其中的Terminal链接又吧我们带到了一个新的登录页面,后面的Party Lounge链接点击进去以后是一个墨西哥乐队演奏的动图和一些音乐。查看网页源代码可以看到这段文字(因为是剧情相关,所以就不过多翻译了):
This seems like a secure place to hide information, so here goes: watch out! You may be using this Party Lounge to take your mind off of the grueling reality outside this base. You may be secure in your position as a high-ranking resistance officer. Be warned: danger lurks in even the safest of places. Do you know what relationship Numbers 1, 3, 5 and 6 have to the decay? Have you never wondered what happened to Numbers 2 and 4? Have you questioned the abductions of individuals from prior eras, or the futures you are trying to prevent? Stay alert. I'll be in touch as I am able, but do not look for me - it may be some time until my next communication is able to get through to you.

因为全都是无用信息或者是剧情相关,所以就不过多介绍了。
Terminal
账号入侵
有人发现了一个自称隶属于"时间旅行俱乐部"并代表"抵抗组织"的Twitter账号。该账号发布了一条联系"Coughlan实验室"(一个完全独立的、已被破解的ARG项目)的信息。
起初无法确认该账号的官方性,直到有人启动Twitter密码重置流程,通过显示的邮箱片段确认该账号与萨缪尔(青蛙分数2剧情相关人物)的Gmail账户相关联。2016年8月15日,当相关证据图片被发布到Discord后,该Twitter账号遭到教皇Zagmar入侵。
入侵期间发生以下变化:
头像更改为弗朗西斯·培根的《仿委拉斯开兹的教皇英诺森十世肖像》画作
横幅替换为《黑暗之魂3》的大教堂场景截图
发布推文:"这名囚犯以自由为条件加入我们的事业...他声称已被囚禁多年",并附有吉姆的照片
抵抗组织随后夺回控制权并声明:"入侵者正接受囚犯JC101-B的协助。必要时实施拘捕或清除。"
在教皇Zagmar入侵Twitter事件后,终端 页面曾短暂变为仅显示"help"字样。恢复后,6号成员(Number Six)的登录凭证获得了访问终端 的权限。
最开始访问返回拒绝访问的提示,后经贾斯汀在Twitch直播中证实这属于技术性问题。
而六号成员的登陆凭证是从下面这些渠道获得的:
在RPP 77的ID3标签中,可以发现一个短语:“密码就在你眼后"(The password is behind your eye)”
其后,一位参与ARG并赞助过RPP Patreon的用户收到实体信件,信件内容如下图:



所以就得到了新的用户名和登录密码:
用户名:number six 密码:theeyeshaveyou
进去以后是一个标准的终端,里面有这些命令可以用:
dir, email, exit, help [target], list [target], read [email date]

同样,因为绝大部分都是剧情和无用信息所以这里就不过多描述了
不过在这个终端里面还是有一些有趣和好玩的内容的比如说在2016年8月28号,终端内出现一篇仿造《Sombra ARG》风格的新邮件,内容翻译如下:
要不要试试另一种分数?
因为当时游戏侦探正在努力破解同时期的另一个很有名的ARG《Sombra ARG》。青蛙分数2官方肯定也是关注到了这一点,所以也就进行了一次恶搞。
sigil
这里可以算是另一个完全独立的ARG了。只不过最终的解密结果和Terminal相关,具体可以看这里。简要概括就是许多的玩家都在一些独立游戏里面发现一个 the eye标志和一个大图像的碎片。经过不断地寻找,最终玩家们在28个独立游戏里面都发现了sigil碎片,并随着看火人的一次更新找到了这些碎片使用的地方。经过漫长的解密以后,我们得到了新的用户名和登录密码:
用户名:number one 密码:elmourouj
登陆进去以后,经过仔细寻找,我们可以发现这四个视频
在终端里的名字 | 视频链接 |
---|---|
french_onion.mp4 | 点击这里 |
chicken_tortilla.mp4 | 点击这里 |
top_ramen.mp4 | 点击这里 |
pasta_with_chicken.mp4 | 点击这里 |
不过很遗憾,这些视频完全没有任何有用的线索。
Indiecade 2015
在2015年10月15日发布的《THD 23》中,音频的频谱图依旧是有东西的,在这次的频谱图的上方有一些额外的点。

经过试错,玩家们发现这些需要按照排成三行,一一对应以后可以发现是一段盲文,具体如下图:

34°1'30.5148"N 118°23'36.1932"W 这是Indiecade 2015的举办地坐标。
所以在Indiecade 2015展览中,一位ARG参与者来到了jim身边,并对他说了“17”以后(这个是RPP 62期的一个提示:“RPP提醒所有抵抗组织成员:如果你不以数字#17开头传达信息,那还不如什么都别说”)他们就让参与者从马里奥和路易吉的Amiibo手办中任选一个,对方选择了路易吉。

2016年1月15日,这个路易吉Amiibo最终被扫描接入Wii U游戏机。系统显示该Amiibo的拥有者是"pastebin",而Amiibo名称是"DTP61rrp",这串字符指向了网页链接http://pastebin.com/DTP61rrp。
这个Pastebin内容显示为邮箱gustav.klimt.69@yandex.com发送的"备忘录"邮件标头信息。有玩家尝试去登录该邮箱,发现需要回答密码重置安全问题,具体是:“您母亲的婚前姓氏是什么?”答案是输入真实历史人物古斯塔夫·克林姆特母亲的婚前姓"芬斯特(Finster)。之后就收到了来自ltsamuelresist@gmail.com的邮件,大致内容就是给这个邮箱的主人公邮寄了物品。前去领取以后的内容如下图:

不过可惜,里面并没有什么有用的线索。
侏罗纪科技博物馆活动

2016年1月12日,贾斯汀发推表示马里奥amiibo"免费送给有爱心的好人家"。当被问及邮寄事宜时,他要求必须亲自领取。他还补充说:"安全起见,“好人家'的标准之一就是要知道领取的时间和地点。"
在《THD 37》中,假如我们将视频下载下来,可以发现缩略图是侏罗纪科技博物馆的logo。
2016年2月6日,贾斯汀在Twitch直播中展示了马里奥amiibo,确认仍在寻找接收者。在由吉姆参与录制的《RPP》第68期中,ID3标签包含以下信息:
Genre: A secret hidden in the ID3 tags, hello there friends Comment: vzthe.pbz/cU1Fd6o
下面评论的内容,使用rot13解码过来以后就是:
imgur.com/pH1Sq6b
点击进去之后发现是一张日历图片,显示时钟指向2月18日下午2点,并附有留言:"别迟到 -6号"

与此同时,gustav邮箱收到ltsamuel发来的一张地图图片,图中箭头从侏罗纪科技博物馆入口指向附近一个画着皇冠的公园。

而且,贾斯汀的推特已多次出现与国际象棋相关的暗示,还包括一组经过失真的图片——瑞秋·萨拉(Rachel Sala)的Tumblr上出现的乌鸦(象征国际象棋中的"车"),以及推特上流传的马匹图片(象征"马")。在《RPP》第67期开头,播客以"我们把兵走到g5"开始,这步棋正是"博格弃兵"的开局走法,并在活动现场实际重现。
当ARG参与者抵达现场时,贾斯汀和一名疑似《青蛙分数》系列画师瑞秋·萨拉的女孩已摆好棋盘,并将白兵推进至g5位置。马里奥Amiibo扮演黑王。当参与者索要Amiibo时,贾斯汀要求他们必须赢得这盘棋(贾斯汀执黑,参与者执白)。贾斯汀故意走错几步让参与者获胜后,突然出现一名戴着"锡纸"帽子、穿着背心的人,声称是"时间警察"并将其带离。现场有人询问是否需要帮助或跟随时,对方回答"不用"。

和路易吉的amibo类似,马里奥amiibo由"imgur"用户"a/e4RLf"持有,链接为http://imgur.com/a/e4RLf,内含三张推测为抵抗组织制作的海报。
次日,Rachel将这些图片发布到她的tumblr。当下载tumblr上的图片并用记事本打开时,可见三个驼峰式拼写的单词:
cyborgDirt distressedSparkles oldTree
不过amibo的线索也就止步于此了,之后的推进中再也没有用到这些内容。
Indicade 2016
背景
2016年9月18日,贾斯汀在他的twitch直播的时候展示了一个盒子,并一直强调观众都应该去参加今年的indiecade活动,Ryan Ike(《青蛙分数2》的作曲家)、Rachel Sala以及可能还有吉姆都会出席。10月12日,他再次直播呼吁人们参加Indiecade,称“时间线可能会崩塌”,并提到这个盒子只能在Indiecade现场获得,如果没人拿到就会永远错过。随后,他开始数正在玩的游戏(《风暴英雄》)中的肖像画数量,数到17时重复强调(这也是2015年Indiecade活动的密码)。
2016年10月15日,一位ARG参与者的朋友拿到了盒子,密码是17。他走到带着盒子的贾斯汀面前说“Seventeen”,贾斯汀便把盒子给了他,并叮嘱要保持盒子大致直立。当天吉斯坦在推特上发布了盒子照片,随后又发推“已认领”。
内容
2016年10月24日,盒子被打开,内含以下物品:

一个普通木盒,重65.6克,高约18厘米 一个未拆封的草莓味Baby Bottle Pop棒棒糖 一些苔藓/地衣(可能是假的) 四个小骷髅头 部分被沙子覆盖 一个亡灵节主题的骷髅迷宫(拆解后未发现隐藏内容) 盒盖内侧及迷宫固定处贴有闪光胶带
想要看打开的盒子的全部的相关图片,可以看这里。
紫外线
在2016年Indiecade活动结束几周后,经朋友建议,获得盒子的用户用紫外线灯照射盒子,发现了大量文字。盒盖顶部写有一串数字,侧面则刻有西里尔字母书写的俄文。
上 | 下 | 左 | 右 | 内 |
---|---|---|---|---|
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
顶部的数字如下:
9730098228905583 269874686586084998 81637310991215244 175564364133957374 51648068005811729 13136598424620810
然而,盒子内部有一条"哈哈,那是个骗局"的信息,并附上了修正后的第一行数字。
97300982289905583 269874686586084998 81637310991215244 175564364133957374 51648068005811729 13136598424620810
盒子侧面的"是/否"提示可能指向二进制。将这些数字转换为二进制并用零填充至相同长度后数字如下:
0101011001101011101011101001010101101011111011011110101111 1110111110110010011001100011111011110101010101111010000110 0100100010000010001011001110101010000011001010101010001100 1001101111101110101101101111100111011010111111111011111110 0010110111011111011010010011101010110100100101011000010001 0000101110101010111010101010101010101010000000111100001010
另一侧的"看"(See)则暗示盲文。将这些二进制按2x3的块分割并解码为盲文后得到:
WITHSHAPELYBUTTSTHEYDONTPLAYF AIRYQOQRZPSOMQLSPTOKFDDYVCDMO
合并为一行:
with shapely butts they don't play fair yqoqrzpsomqlsptokfddyvcdmo
这提示需要对后半段乱码使用Playfair密码解密。密码确定为callipygian。解密结果(注意Playfair规则中j=i):
GOTOTWITTERATISTHEIIGUPYET
即最终指令:
"去Twitter @IsTheJigUpYet"
IsTheJigUpYet和虫子火星

在盒子谜题破解后的24小时内(2016年11月19日00:00 PST),Twitter账号@IsTheJigUpYet发布了一条ROT9加密的短链接(szk.cp/2x3BKJB,即bit.ly/2g3KTSK,不过现在已经删除了),指向名为"A Flesh Virtuosi Worm"("From Russia With Love"的字谜)的YouTube频道(现在这个频道也早已不存在)。当时该频道仅有一段标题为《Мы положим киндзу во все!!!》("我们会往所有东西里加香菜!!!")的无声电影风格视频(同样,视频早已无法播放),内容为几名疑似俄罗斯人讨论时间旅行、最近获得的盒子,以及饮用Ashby啤酒的场景。
频道描述写着"Теперь вы можете увидеть!"("现在你终于能看见了!"),后接一大段Base64编码。解码后得到一张条形码PNG图片,扫描后跳转至Pastebin上的另一段Base64,再解码生成二维码PNG。该二维码本身又是另一张数据矩阵图的Base64编码,最终导向的Pastebin包含大量坐标数据。
将这些坐标绘制在地图上会呈现西里尔字母组成的句子"Не забудьте выпить ваш Овальтине"(直译为"别忘了喝你的阿华田")。这是关于"加密信息最终只是广告梗"的经典迷因(曾多次出现在Eye Sigil ARG的解密过程中)。但坐标的玄机不止于此——每个字母由一组偏离初始坐标整数值的坐标群构成(尽管原始坐标带有长小数位且位于特定地理位置),其中首字母坐标还被加粗标记(<b></b>),这些坐标都在后面的数据混洗的Zagmar图片中被用上了。
回到视频:某个镜头显示角色正在浏览另一个名为"The Museum of Relics of Extinct Timelines of Bug Mars"的YouTube频道,其名称"A Fiend Bronzes Mugs"实为"Denizens of Bug Mars"的字谜重组。
这个YouTube频道上传了大量的视频,视频本身的内容并不重要,重要的是每一个视频的简介里面都有一个DS和LaS标签(这两个之后会解释)。整理之后就有了以下的表格(因为视频本身的内容不重要所以这里的链接就都是油管的链接了)
"DS"代表经过"衰减筛法"(Decaying sieve)处理后保留的数字序列
而"LaS"则指视频描述中出现的"外观数列"(Look-and-say sequence)数字
这些坐标点基本分布在DS#16到DS#35、LaS#5到LaS#11构成的矩形区域内。现有的DS/LaS坐标点分布图显示,它们正在逐步拼出单词"BUTTS"的形态。后来BUTTS成为了一个梗,被疯狂用于ARG解密人员的玩梗和与官方人员的互动中(完整坐标映射图可参见这个链接)
Thanksgiving pastebin
2016年11月24日音乐视频描述中链接的Pastebin内容如下:

这是一个Befunge程序。运行时将输出
"What's the sound of infinite turkeys?GobblGobblGobblGobbl"("Gobbl"部分会无限循环)
考虑到发布时间,这个小谜题可能是给我们的感恩节问候。
注:该程序本应无限输出"Gobble!",但由于无限循环缺少两个逗号,最后两个字符被无限压入堆栈而未打印。
解决此问题后不久,@RESIST_DECAY发推称"Operation Gobbledrop"行动成功。
Closed for repairs

2016年12月2日,频道更新了一个26秒的静态视频,内容和其他的视频不一样,显示:“CLOSED FOR REPAIRS”。画面类似YouTube的"视频不可用"界面,但带有"CEIKLMORS"字样和一个播放列表。视频描述仅写有"该视频或播放列表不存在"
播放列表包含以下歌曲:
1.Rogue Wave -- In the Morning 2.The Jesus and Mary Chain -- Commercial 3.Alabama Shakes -- Heavy Chevy 4.Psychostick -- Numbers 5.David Bowie -- Five Years 6.The Flaming Lips -- Your Bats 7.Florence + The Machine -- Between Two Lungs 8.Rammstein -- Du Hast 9.Ben Folds Five -- Brick 10.Idlewild -- Bronze Medal 11.Radiohead -- All I Need 12.Chromeo -- Fancy Footwork
"CEIKLMORS"中的字母已按字母顺序排列。视频时长26秒也暗指字母表数量。
所有歌曲都包含数字相关歌词(包括"Du Hast"中的"nine")。根据这些数字从"CEIKLMORS"中提取对应字母,可以得到
ROCKLEESMILE
而这个指向一个youtube博主RockLeeSmile在"Closed For Repairs"视频发布同时,他的频道上传了《Resident Evil 7 - Don't Let Appearances Mislead You》若将该视频加速并放大音量,可听到《Frog Fractions》初代游戏中的文本"boxing: a history"。在0:16秒处,白光中手部上方显示数字35.955;1:34秒右下角出现数字-83.93,这些是田纳西大学某分校图书馆的坐标。该图书馆藏有《Keys to the Insects of the European USSR. Volume V Pt.2》——这是"A Warning from the Vermicious Knids"视频描述中提到的相对冷门书籍。值得注意的是,自"Real Bugs Don't Eat Quiche"视频以来所有通过文物编号提及的书籍,都存放在该图书馆的同一个书架上。
Denizens of Bug Mars
之前我们提到过:
YouTube频道的名称"A Fiend Bronzes Mugs"实为"Denizens of Bug Mars"的字谜重组
这个后来被发现其实是一个facebook用户的用户名,这个页面发布的视频和图片都和YouTube频道相当类似。
在2016年11月19日的帖子中,出现了一个代码"6uCuB7Rc"以及提示,引导用户将其粘贴到Pastebin网站上,即
pastebin.com/6uCuB7Rc
具体内容如下

将空格视为点、双空格视为破折号、冒号作为分隔符,我们得到:
.-../...--/.--/.----/...../.-../--.../.--/-..../.-../-..../.--/-..../.-../....-/.--/....-/.-../-..../.--/---../.-../...--/.--/.----/-..../.-../.----/...--/.--/..---
这段摩斯密码翻译后为
L3 W15 L7 W6 L6 W6 L4 W4 L6 W8 L3 W16 L13 W2
按照"第N行,第M个单词"的规则提取文字,得到:
good luck from a friendly time Traveler
如果记下所有看似"随机字母"的错误单词:
g hfdtf vrfk szdx zv wulxkxzurz Jpvvvpvy。
用"good luck..."字符串作为密钥,通过Vigenère密码解密后得到:

图书馆
2016年12月3日,由一位玩家前往了田纳西大学图书馆,并依次按照书的名字依次寻找过去,最终,他们在5本书中都找到了一个相同的小纸条,上面写着:
4kmVdND3
这是一个Pastebin的网址:
https://pastebin.com/4kmVdND3
内容如下:
However you made it here, it must have been an astounding feat. I'll be brief; I cannot post anything obvious here. A certain level of obfuscation is... required. A box was stolen from us. Or, depending on your perspective, many boxes at many times. There was a password associated with this box; email it to me through a secure channel. You may have been searching for something... something beyond the reward of the journey itself. Or not; I obviously can't know your motivations. TTraveler0451@gmail.com
翻译过来就是:

之后玩家们向这个邮箱发送了许许多多的内容,不过大多数都是一些剧情相关或者无用信息。直到
帮助时光旅行者0451

2016年12月9日,我们收到来自"festival of yellowrumps"的邮件,标题为"机密":
"该死的- 我一直在追踪偷走我物品的窃贼。这些人试图帮助敌人,带来'腐朽'。我们绝不能允许此事发生。我找到了这个文件,相信它能带我们找到他们,或至少找回他们从我这里偷走的东西。 我看不懂这个文件,需要某种可靠的解读方式。我是个很基础的人,没有能力解读其中奥妙。我需要你们的帮助,因为这里的一切都毫无头绪。 无论发现什么,请务必回复我。我相信这个渠道目前是安全的。按照你们的相对时间概念,我会'很快'回到这条时间线。" 附件是一张名为"sacre.png"的图片。
图片的蓝色通道实际上是由可读文本字节组成的(而非图像数据),按列读取后得到以下内容(可识别出混入了Lorem Ipsum文本,不过wiki中的图片因为经过压缩所以现在已经无法看出):

这是俄勒冈州波特兰市一家密室逃脱游戏设施"Chirp French Butts"的推特账号,该设施有一个名为"抵抗之火"的主题密室,剧情涉及特工失踪和时间旅行者绑架开发者,其官网展示了一个转盘电话,而sacre.png似乎基于该场所拍摄的照片,该密室的一名员工曾协助解决过早期的amiibo线索
2016年12月12日,一个小组参加了密室逃脱的特别场次。他们需要帮助一名双重间谍从一个类似俄罗斯的国家逃脱,并获得了一把带有青蛙钥匙扣的钥匙,以及一张写有先前找到的密码"elmourouj"(对应"Number One")的纸条。
数据损坏的Zagmar图像

2016年11月23日发现的坐标列表(源于@IsTheJigUpYet推文的最终线索)对应地球上特定城市。若提取这些城市名称的首字母,可拼出以下信息:
YOURJIMISINDANGERGOOGLARSW0C
(即:Your Jim is in danger → goo.gl/aRsw0c)
该链接指向2016年11月5日上传的一幅数据损坏(datamoshed)的Zagmar图像。
对比原始的图像,我们可以发现数据损坏的图片中有下面的这些文本
We are aware of the Transgressions of those who would bring the Decay faster than Natural Order would dictate, to suit their own vile Designs. They must be stopped, by any and all Means. Follow me, for the one true Path is that which inverts the Universe and exposes us to our Creator. Do not imprison the Keys to your Salvation; neither in your Mind, nor in your Reality.
翻译过来就是
“我们已知晓那些加速‘腐朽’之人的罪行——他们违背自然秩序,只为满足自身卑劣的企图。必须不择手段阻止他们。追随我,因真正的路径将倒转宇宙,使我们直面造物主。莫将救赎之钥禁锢于思想或现实之中。”

左右两列的答案可以组合成城市名称,而连接线会穿过某个时间戳。具体如下图

不过有两组词不符合这个模式且没有时间:"Marian Koshland"和"bibliotheque",这就是加州大学伯克利分校的Marian Koshland图书馆。
地点及其连接线上时间戳的列表(按右侧带向下箭头的列排序)和时区名称如下:
Fiji 1:08am FJT (Fiji Time) Christmas Island 8:15pm LINT (Line Islands Time) Juneau 3:30am AKST (Alaska Standard Time) London 6:38am GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) Tehran 6:30am IRST (Iran Standard Time) Christchurch 8:30am NZST (New Zealand Standard Time) Hong Kong 8:08pm HKT (Hong Kong Time) Kabul 11:08am AFT (Afghanistan Time) Nepal 12:30am NPT (Nepal Time) Davis Station 10:00am DAVT (Davis Time, Antarctica) Caracas 3:45am VST (Venezuela Standard Time) Jerusalem 2:08am IST (Israel Standard Time) Buffalo 5:30am EST (Eastern Standard Time, North America and Caribbean) Cameroon 2:30am WAT (West Africa Time) Armenia 10:45am AMT (Armenia Time) Port Stanley 9:38am FKST (Falkland Islands Time) Baghdad 3:38am AST (Arabia Standard Time) Houston 6:38pm CST (Central Standard Time, North America & Central America)) Cape Cod 1:30am EST (Eastern Standard Time, North America and Caribbean)
时区名称首字母拼出:

这是一个提示,要将时间戳转换为UTC时间后(副标题"the universal question"暗示),根据时钟指针位置解读为旗语信号。最终得到的旗语代码是:
641A12H352000
这个编号QL641.A12 H35 2000的书就在Marian Koshland生物科学与自然资源图书馆——正是谜题中另一个答案所指的图书馆。该书是Sally Haines所著的《Slithy toves》,书名引用了《爱丽丝镜中奇遇》中的造词"Jabberwocky"、
ashby的信
2016年12月12日,玩家前往那个图书馆,并在里面发现了一张折叠的纸,里面又一张ashby的信件,原文如下(同样因为剧情相关就不翻译了),
Reader, greetings to you. Please, let me confess my tale. Your timeline will be the only one to contain this artifact, unless there are other versions of myself whom have gotten the same idea. I cannot, of course, vouch for their actions. They are… it hardly matters. Forgive me; I am getting too far ahead of myself. I will try not to get bogged down in details. When I was young, it seemed too that the world was young. Before I write about any of my journeys, let me tell you this: I was happy once, and so was Gustav. We played in a tree swing, in a big, old chestnut, which creaked and croaked in a way that suggested a song. We leapt between stones in the creek, and studied our maths. I was good at catching fireflies on summer nights, those brilliant motes of life rising into the sky. Gustav drew pictures, inventing bizarre characters that accompanied us in our play. I planned to become a botanist. Gustav would settle for nothing less than traveling to distant stars. I chided him for having such elaborate dreams, but in the end I was happy that we dreamed together. When the Tunisians approached us, we were no longer children, but neither were we truly adults. They had seen us through their strange machines, and determined our importance to future dealings surrounding a great event. They made it their mission to find us and teach us the ways of travel between timelines. Gustav spoke to them in French. When had he learned French? He spoke to a woman with a certain familiarity before they were formally introduced. I did not understand, but then I only knew a very few words in any foreign language. They were offering us something unusual. They wanted to demonstrate. The first portal they opened for us was to some Eden. It was astounding. Blue and purple moons rose over tropical pools. A scent like jasmine floated on soft breezes, over rolling hills that led off to vertical escarpments grazing the sky. I have never found this place again, for they never shared these, or any other time-space coordinates with us. Gustav tore off his shoes and dove into one of those silken-water pools with no regard for what might be waiting under the surface. He knew, somehow, that they had brought us to a place meant to entice; a place that would be safe for us. I am still puzzled as to what bred such confidence. Beyond the knowledge that we were somehow crucial to events in some other time and place, the Tunisians had no information, and no inkling of how we would eventually set the awesome mechanisms of our choices into their courses of influence. What they gave us was merely teaching without any advice on how to employ them. It was unwise, what they did, but they had plans of their own, they said. It was their way. They were resistant to changing their approach. Gustav and I could barely contain our excitement at having been told we were to be masters of time travel, very much out of the blue and quite in keeping with how special, nay, truly incredible, the exuberance of youth had convinced us we were. “Quelles époques désirez-vous visiter d’abord?” they addressed us. “Les passé!” Gustav shouted. “The future!” I proclaimed simultaneously. We looked at one another. Gustav had a wry smile. His intentions were unreadable. I was confused. I reached for him, and he walked confidently into the past, without looking back for a moment. I faltered. He had left, but why? I thought I was right. The future! The future... was the future. How could we deny ourselves a glimpse of that? We parted, there, unexpectedly, with that disagreement. I so want to remember it as a minor thing, but perhaps there was slight animosity; having shared our lives for so long, now we were fundamentally divided as to our goals. That specific memory feels hollow now, having revisited it so often… a story’s shell, devoid of feeling. I don’t know what happened. I will never recover the true memory. I have never been able to revisit that moment bodily. For all of my searching in time and space, and through the timelines I could discover, I have never seen him again, nor have I encountered any evidence of him. On reflection, it was not I who was special, though I will not say the same of Gustav. It was, however, our friendship that was so extraordinary; a connection that by its astonishing nature has persisted clearly in my mind, while oceans of later experience have foundered and sunk below oceans of forgotten memories. I have no doubt he became a great artist of some kind. His imagination was a great Cathedral, or even more than this - vast cities of ideas, waiting to explored and understood, When we were children, he would sing songs of planets of insects, and the hungry frogs that would settle in their midst, undetected. He wrote stories that felt as if they were real, and he was only a conduit through which they passed. This may have been the case. I have seen things beyond explanation in my travels; worlds nearly prophesied by his inventions. The future turned out to be a bleaker existence than one might imagine. There is no joy in seeing cities that once housed your schoolmates ground to rubble through the relentless action of time; no pleasant feeling in seeing your family home decrepit, ruined and eventually forgotten as all things are and must necessarily be. The curiosity you sate by discovering the fates of the people and thing most beloved to you is - like lightning - flashed away into the massive loneliness experienced without them. I sat in front of my childhood home. I said, “I give your eulogy, house, and I will represent humanity, and you will represent the civilizations so vast that my heart cannot comprehend their loss.” I sat there, weeping, and resolved to find my friend. Gustav had made the wiser choice, travelling back to see the world when it was vibrant. He must have had a chance to learn from the masters. To grow also, and mature in a way that was denied to my young self. I took my opportunities and threw them to the cruel winds, on which sailed the Decay. I have nothing to tell you of the Decay, other than that the time traveling itself has brought it. At least, this is what I theorize. I am not sure how they are related, but I knew nothing of this vile occurrence before we encountered the Tunisian scientists. I have never encountered it myself by opening a portal. It is likely that those otherworldly scientists had a hand in all of this, and their mistake was what caused them to seek out Gustav and myself. You will not find evidence of them, as our first encounter was during the gold rush in San Francisco. The portals they opened and much of their clockwork gadgetry were destroyed in an earthquake some decades later. Though the pull of those original portals is strong. You can still sometimes see the timelines crossing through in this location on earth. Eventually I followed in Gustav’s path and traveled pastward. It was only then that I started recording my travels, trying, with increasing… and then decreasing… desperation to find Gustav. At first I wished to apologize or explain myself, to demand an apology or an explanation. Eventually, I just desired to see that he existed, and that he was not my own mind’s invention. I have resigned myself to writing this confession, and leaving tokens of my friendship in the timelines I visit. Your may have already speculated that for all of my meanderings through time and space, that there is a vanishingly small chance that I am, in fact, your timeline’s Ashby. Perhaps ownership of “your Ashby,” that is, the Ashby that originated in your timeline, means something to you. Now that I can take these moments to reflect, I see that “belonging to a timeline” is a feeling I can no longer identify in any of my thoughts. Indeed, the issue of where and when each us belongs is, to me, merely a matter of accounting. Reader, make your decision. Travel without care and let the universe decide your fate, or plan the safer route. I cannot tell you that my way of journeying is the better way. For some of us, we do not end where we think we should. We end at a time and a place that once felt wild and infinite, and suddenly feels quite lonely, or halts unexpectedly. In that, I see no difference in how we choose. I am leaving an artifact here, and in every timeline I visit. If Gustav should find one of these, he will know that I think of him, often.

信件的右上角还藏有一组代码:znjnlq5。这组代码最终被证实对应一个TinyURL短链接——tinyurl.com/znjnlq5(现在已经失效),该链接指向标题为《汤类食谱》的Google Drive文件夹。里面有一个文本文件和一些3d模型文件。
这些3D模型设计有插销和孔洞结构,经3D打印后可互相堆叠组装——莲叶垫在底部,青蛙置于顶端。整体来看,这似乎是本次调查线索的终极奖励。
Unboxing Story
2016年12月15日,在twinbread网站(旧页面新增链接)上发现了新线索。后续另有线索将TTraveler0451的追踪路径与此发现相关联。
该链接指向一个Unity游戏压缩包(原链接已经失效,该链接为后期整理包含游戏本体和解包文件):仿照《Her Story》风格制作的《Unboxing Story》。游戏中可输入关键词并观看前5条匹配的监控录像视频(不过因为bug有些系统上可能无法观看视频)。根据HTTP的Last-Modified字段,该压缩包于2016年12月13日上传至网站。
游戏内一共有63个视频,61个正常视频,一个隐藏视频和一个需要复杂的步骤才能得到的终极视频。正常视频这里就不过多描述了,这里直接说隐藏视频的观看方法。
隐藏视频
玩家可以通过输入下面的任意关键词来解锁隐藏视频:
mystery hidden secret mysterious secrecy enigma

视频内容展示了一个完整的 Eye Sigil ARG 的地图。有一些桶和一些黑色的物质组成,然后一只猫从上面跳过,并碰到了其中一个代表圆形节点的桶,音频就是两个人用很滑稽的语调重复说着“password”。同时被放慢了4-5倍。

观看过这个视频之后,我们可以通过输入在Eye Sigil ARG中得到的答案“elmourouj”来进入“sigil maze”
Sigil Maze
在迷宫中,玩家控制一个ASCII字符上下左右移动,每进入一个新画面都会显示一个"眼之符记ARG"的符印(不同前景/背景色组合)。当从画面边缘离开时,角落的数字会递减。初始计数器为20(对应灰底黑字的符印),即玩家共有20步移动机会。
若按"错误"路径移动,最终会回到起始画面。但若遵循"正确"路径,将解锁第63段隐藏视频(游戏文件中加密存储,预览图是青蛙图案)。此后使用密码"elmourouj"将直接播放该视频,无法再返回符记迷宫。
但存在误判情况:某些路径会被错误识别为正确(例如当前记录的路径:下x11→右x1→下x1→左x2→上x2→左x1→右x1→下x1),导致视频解密失败无法播放。
正确的迷宫通关方法是依据符记地图本身的路径指引(地图上20个节点对应20步移动):
- 当节点位于直线路径时 → 在迷宫中向上(UP)移动
- 当节点位于转角处时 → 按即将转向的方向移动
完整移动序列为:
上 左 左 上 上 上 右 右 上 上 上 左 左 上 左 上 上 左 左 上

而其中的一位玩家Randomiser在破解符记迷宫后,已按要求将联系地址发送给指定收件人。
尾声
2016年12月19日,在寄出地址仅一个工作日后,包裹就送达了。包裹内含6个防震气囊(其中1个破损),与气泡纸共同保护着看似是《青蛙分数2》启动器的物品。这个启动器是需要钥匙的,而对应的钥匙就是之前在密室逃脱获得的钥匙。
启动视频见这里
按钮触发后,"A Flesh Virtuosi Worm"频道(即From Russia With Love)立即更新视频《Ну, мы оторвались на славу!》(现在已经被删除)(意为"我们狂欢得太棒了!"),描述栏致谢"非常震撼"
视频中朗读的书籍正是Justin此前收购亚马逊低价库存的版本(存档于Imgur)
同步更新"Denizends of Bug Mars"脸书页面,重要引述:
"你追寻之物早已存在,只需在某个角落找到它!"
2016年12月26日,当"启动FF2"按钮被按下时,人们注意到一款游戏突然发布了大型更新(更新体积达游戏本体一半),且更新日志包含大量ARG相关词汇(闪光、腐朽、按钮按压等)。这款游戏正是《Glittermitten Groves》,而这游戏最终也被证实就是那个被玩家一直寻找的青蛙分数2。青蛙分数2ARG也就此宣告结束
