Chapter 124: When Miss Green Tea became the love group controller (18) Part 2
He has enough reasons to believe that this guy, who is apparently the head of the Chamber of Commerce, is actually an underground arms dealer, and his real purpose must be to find and seize the genetic stock solution and develop new weapons.
Arnold didn't know what kind of agreement the other party and the government reached, and what price they paid, but in any case, the question now is who can find the hidden location of the original liquid faster.
As such, they are all contenders to watch out for each other.
In order to disguise the real purpose and explore the island in depth, the government gave them the "Garden of Eden" program as a cover, so as not to scare the snakes and arouse the vigilance of the primitive tribes.
Those old folks are willing to open the ruins only because they are sure the government will never find the secrets of their ancestors.
Arnold knew, however, that the government had been looking for connections between the planet's remains. A large number of scientific expedition teams were dispatched to study the ancient Blue Star culture constantly, and finally they found the clue.
The ruins here—the key to the other dimension is hidden.
By obtaining the key, they can open the real ruins and obtain the coveted ancient human genetic stock solution that represents infinite possibilities.
"Doctor... Then what are we going to do?" Nina's voice interrupted Arnold's thoughts. "If this goes on, finding the key is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
The blue-haired girl stood up straight, her brows full of worry.
Arnold glanced at the subordinate of the institute and said lightly: "Don't worry, if you can't find it once, just look for it a second time, and things won't run away."
Nina sighed, and suddenly remembered a casual question from her friend before leaving this morning: "Nina, do you know the meaning of that Sphinx mystery?"
She shook her head honestly then.
"Man, know yourself." The blonde girl whispered in her ear with a brisk tone, "It's very interesting, the essence of the question is this sentence."
Now, Nina said those words softly.
Arnold frowned. "What are you talking about?"
"Doctor, Testai told me that the riddle of the Sphinx is so hard to solve because people don't always know themselves."
"…"
"I wonder if the password to enter the ruins has something to do with the direction we are looking for the key?"
Christian and Arnold are both human beings. But compared to Nina, who was half a beat slower, they had already discovered the hint from Bi Ming—
"Know yourself…"
So what kind of room can you [recognize yourself]?
The two sentries said at the same time: "Mirror!"
After speaking, they looked at each other and rushed to a special room in the ruins without hesitation, the [Mirror Room].
Christian suspected this place, but found that the entire room was just pasted with mirrors, and there was no extra place to hide things, so he left.
Now that the two are here at the same time, Arnold and Christian see a lot of themselves in the mirror at the same time.
"The crux of the matter is, where will the half key be hidden in this room?"
"Are you going to smash all the mirrors?"
Arnold stopped Christian's rude thoughts and suggested: "Forcibly destroying the organs is easy to trigger traps, so lets observe first."
The silver-haired man's eyes quickly swept across the entire space. The four walls were covered with mirrors, and the light in the room was so abundant that the portraits reflected by the mirrors were exceptionally clear.
Christian followed his gaze, and suddenly thought of something. With a thought, there were some light small hammers in the room, which kept hitting the mirror with a slow and gentle force.
Soon, the sound of a mirror being knocked on in one place was unusual.
The Sentinels smiled keenly.
"A very plain...old practice." Arnold walked over there.
"I remember that Blue Star's mirrors are all made of glass and a reflective layer," Christian said solemnly. "According to the transmittance of the reflective layer, there will be double-sided mirrors and single-sided mirrors."
"And their identification is also very simple. The back of the double-sided mirror is generally empty, and the single-sided mirror is not."
Christian moved his fingers, and the mirror disappeared instantly, revealing a deep hole the size of a fist.
The white fox stretched out its small claws, scratched it inside, and grabbed the shiny objects—
The remaining half of the key.
Arnold looked at the other mirrors, the giant anaconda slammed into them, and the mirrors suddenly cracked, revealing the dense organs below.
Because the mirror was not completely broken, the alarm mechanism did not trigger, but Christian was relieved: "It seems that your reminder is right, fortunately we didn't directly smash all the mirrors."
The Sentinels, relying on their strong physique, were not afraid of these traps, but if the ruins self-destruct, it will be troublesome.
When they got the key and went out, Arnold suddenly asked, "Did you find any clues when you came that day?"
Christian was slightly startled, then shook his head: "We didn't have time to open this room that day, because the 'door key' hasn't been cracked, and it's locked here."
"Then Testai..." Arnold was suspicious, "How did she think of reminding Nina?"
"It's probably just a coincidence," Christian shrugged. "Don't be too suspicious. She arrived at the ruins that day and was playing flying games with Tang the whole time..." He seemed to be caught in unpleasant memories.
Arnold also thought that at that time, he didn't even start to study the "door key", and people didn't even know the existence of this [Mirror house].
"That's true," he returned his thoughts to the key in his hand, "Then we have our first key."
After the two half keys were put together, the program team also issued a voice announcement to everyone on time:
[Dear guests, congratulations on finding the key to the second stage with your concerted efforts!
Now for Phase 2 - Notes on the Jungle Tour:
1. The guests need to live in the jungle with harsh environment and rich resources for ten days. During this period, the program team will provide a smart camping tent, which will be shared by two people. The size must not exceed thirty meters.
2. Start the free teaming mechanism. Sentinels and guides can be matched by themselves. Teams of more than two people will conduct jungle adventures and food collection. There is no need to force rotation of team members. It is recommended to form a fixed team of three to four people to ensure safety.
3. There is a ruin in the depths of the jungle, where the key to the next stage is hidden.
4. The way to enter the jungle is in the ruins of the beach. All guests are invited to go back to the hut tonight to pack up and leave tomorrow morning.]
In the hall of ruins, after the keys were combined, the statue of the goddess made a "rumbling" sound. After a burst of dust, the eyes of the goddess turned into two holes that leaked light, and the sunlight from the outside leaked through the gap.
"It turns out that the statue is the 'gate'." Nina took a deep breath and suddenly realized, "Where is the key to be inserted?"
Several people looked up and down the statue, but did not find any "keyhole" positions.
Since it was getting late, Arnold made a final decision: "Tomorrow, we will wait for everyone to find it, and go back now."
Christian didn't care either, as long as the key was in hand, nothing else mattered.
…
During dinner time, under Nina's narration, everyone turned their eyes towards Bi Ming.
"Anyway, if we hadn't said that, we might not have been able to find the most critical room today." Nina's voice was not too small, but it was particularly clear on the dining table.
"Don't say it," the blonde girl was stared at a little unnaturally, and the knife and fork made a crisp collision sound on the dinner plate, "I just mentioned it casually, it's nothing."
"Isn't it good to mention it casually as well?" Phoenix, who was sitting beside her, smiled and gave her a new plate with the meat he just cut into small pieces.
Bi Ming whispered "Thank you" to him, and then heard Lilith's sigh: "Yes, yes, Testai, you are our lucky star!" This sentence is a bit flattering, and it is also a bit after that, Cecia frowned immediately—
"I think it's more important that Arnold cracked the 'door key'. There's no way to open that room, and no amount of information will help." Her voice was a little weird.
Bi Ming glanced at her lightly, but did not refute: "I also think that Dr. Arnold is the biggest contributor, there is nothing to argue about, is it?"
Arnold, who was suddenly cued, looked up and looked in Bi Ming's direction. His gray pupils showed a strange emotion: "The ruins are everyone's credit. Without you, we might not be able to enter this ruins."
Bi Ming looked at him with a reserved smile. Seeing this, the corners of the silver-haired man's lips also subconsciously raised an extremely subtle arc, but after he reacted, it quickly stopped.
Tang and Christian were sitting together, not knowing what to exchange, and they raised their heads at this time, with a hint of teasing in his tone: "Testai, this is not the time to be humble, don't forget that you found the 'door key' too."
As soon as these words came out, the others could only nod their heads.
From entering the ruins, discovering the "door key", and providing crucial "clues"... Even if Bi Ming only went for a day, it still has the same important role as Arnold who unlocked the "door key" password.
And Cecia, who was watching all this silently, gritted her teeth and looked at Bi Ming, who became the focus of the crowd, and felt resentful: She also knows what Sphinx is, and she also understands the meaning of it. If she goes there on the first day, The "port key" must have been discovered by her.
Why is this Miss Vase so lucky?
Bi Ming's idea is very simple, holding the script in hand is the greatest "luck".
Although at present, the deviation of the script is getting bigger and bigger, and the behavior of the Sentinels is very different from that in the original work.
And she is not a god, and she can only take a step by step for this change.
The next day, everyone who packed their luggage was ready to take the beach buggy provided by the program team to the ruins.
"Testai, wait for me, I'll come down immediately!" Lilith shouted anxiously at the entrance of the stairs, looking at Bi Ming and Nina who were dragging their luggage to go out.
She doesn't seem to want to be alone or lose her most popular "ally". She has become more enthusiastic about Bi Ming these two days.
Cecia was behind her, pulling the suitcase and speaking mockingly: "Please make way, don't block me."
Only then did Lilith realize that something was wrong. Even Cecia, who usually pays the most attention to appearance and likes to put on makeup slowly, set off, so wouldn't she be the last one?
The fear of being dropped by everyone made her rush back to the room, and quickly stuffed the scraps on the table, the little dolls and clothes on the bed into the suitcase, and then she looked around the room for a week to make sure that nothing fell. She hurriedly slammed the door and went downstairs with her luggage.
Impatient, she did not notice that at the foot of the bed in the room lay a vial of reagents with the words [Beta-guide inhibitor] on the label.
The author has something to say: In the world where Bi Ming had not come, Phoenix was in a very pure state of doing tasks.
Just like Arnold is now, although he will tease, his attributes are rational, suspicious, cold, arrogant, and cannot be easily shaken. Any change requires accumulation and opportunity, eh.
