Clue B4

Clue B4 (code word: Displays)

Flavor Text: How quaint! A row of shophouses in the middle of a quiet housing estate. Don’t you feel as though you have been transported to another country? Ahh… the peace and quiet here. I come here sometimes in my study of Christian doctrines. It’s a good place to sit down with a cup of coffee, study and reflect. As you are still young, I advise you to learn to take time to study. No, not your academic pursuits, but study to gain knowledge and to learn wisdom. Work hard.

Clue B4:

What I think of Prayer

We pray in the name of the compassionate and benign Father who overlooks our lives. Yet sometimes our prayers go unanswered. Our wants and requests seem ignored by the God, whom we recognise as part of the Trinity. More often then not, the weight of our prayers is skewed towards our personal desires and selfish longings. Goodness sakes! We should not look at our wants and desires, but be selfless in our prayers. Although it is difficult remembering this each time we pray, just keep in mind Jesus Christ (part of the Trinity as well) – who lived as Man and selflessly died on the cross, washing away our sins.

Answer B3

And the solution is Greenwood Village behind Jane (one of the shops) (highlight to reveal)

Google Bonhoeffer's quote on obedience, and you will easily get:
"One act of obedience is better than one hundred sermons."
This is the message you were supposed to receive.

But you got NCZSQYMZAQHECNCQNBTVLLYJFQWPRKWQTVUITJLBSVWPBX
So, the coding method is quite obviously Cipher.

Now we come to the difficult part. In cipher cryptography, there is a plaintext (the original information), a ciphertext (the text after encryption), and the "key" (the encoding algorithm).

In this case, we have Bonhoeffer's orginal quote which is the plaintext, the jumbled letters which is the ciphertext, what we need to figure out is the "key".

From o -> n, key is y (25 spaces away)
n -> c, key is o (15 spaces away)
e -> z, key is u (21 spaces away)
a -> s, key is r (18 spaces away)
c -> q, key is n (14 spaces away)
... ... ...
The key you derive is "yournextlocationisatgreenwoodvillagebehindjane"

Fun? Sidenote: one of the simplest and most common cipher encryption method is the Caesar's cipher. What it means is that the key is uniform throughout. Try it!

After filling in the blanks, reading 1 across, you get STANDODOGRGREENPKEEPC
Identifying the words, you get Stand-O-DOG-R-GREEN-P-KEEP-C
So, it is a location at ORPC.
By solving the missing linking word:
Stand (guard) Dog; Green (house) Keep, the location is the guardhouse.
