"Teacher Xiaofang."
Mu Qingyun raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows.
"Next, we have to pass through the forty-ninth level of the agency to get to the main control room. We can't make a mistake on the way."
Lou Fang nodded solemnly: "I am your game character now, and you are the player. Don't worry, I will be able to command you, be well-behaved and obedient."
Even though his heart was heavy, Mu Qingyun still couldn't help but smile: "Well, when you pass these forty-nine mechanisms, open the safety valve, and the entire ancient city's mechanisms are locked, the dragon-breaking stone in the control room will fall, which is the explosion. Even if a master is there, it will be difficult to explode in a short time, and the poisonous gas will instantly fill the entire stone chamber. Generally speaking, death will be inevitable."
Lou Fang: "..."
In the conference room, Teacher Qiao and his group did not react much. Everyone had already agreed that the matter was not easy to handle.
Qiao Qing thought that he had prayed countless times for peace and blessings over the years, and it must be useful.
The young lady who broke in was the most panicked among the people present. She looked around with a dark expression on her face: "Mr. Jin, you have to save Lou Fang."
Mr. Jin: "..."
He didn't even understand the situation the little girl was talking about, how could he save her?
Everyone in the conference room gradually fell silent, but suddenly there was a noise in the ancient city. The building disappeared from the camera in an instant. Through the big screen, you could faintly hear the entire expedition team being in chaos, and many people were arguing.
Mu Qingyun listened carefully for a long time and was speechless. It seemed that the authenticity of what Teacher Xiao Fang once said was still guaranteed.
He once said that many of his friends particularly like to suffer from the disease of 'heroism'. Whenever these people fall ill, he becomes particularly irritable.
"cough."
Mu Qingyun coughed, and Qiao Qing pulled a chair for her to sit on.
After ten minutes of commotion, Lou Fang appeared in front of the screen again, still clean and beautiful, but everyone else was silent.
He straightened his collar seriously and said with a smile: "Is there anything else you want to explain, classmate Mu?"
Mu Qingyun smiled: "That's too much."
Inside and outside the screen, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Mu Qingyun was still distracted. She had never been as dominant as she is now. Before, she would have been too nervous to speak.
It seems that in this script, the influence of her previous life cannot be ignored.
"Look at these murals. There is a message hidden in them. The general idea is that the wind will tell us that the king left a way out for the warriors who knew how to sacrifice."
"Coincidentally, I have perfect pitch and am very sensitive to sounds. I have been listening to the sound of the wind in the ancient city over and over again these past few days. Finally, I discovered that the sound of the wind has its own rules. Every morning and evening, the sound of the wind changes. 'Saying' the same thing."
Mu Qingyun took a pen and circled the characters one by one on the sculptures and murals of Chongming Bird.
The breeze blows, leaving different traces on the murals.
"It means that the key to the door of life is located where Fengming is."
Mu Qingyun himself took out a bird's-eye view of the entire ancient city and zoomed in, "Here, according to the map, is where the phoenix cries."
As she said that, she pulled out another parchment scroll and said while flipping through it, "Just under the lake, through the narrow corridor, there is a spear of King Feather. The spear can also control the Dragon Breaking Stone in the main control room. As long as it is pulled Once it comes down, the falling of the Broken Dragon Stone will stop, and the people inside will be able to escape."
Following Mu Qingyun's narration, Qiao Qing sent a command, and countless frogmen descended to the bottom of the lake.
After looking for the coordinates, I found the entrance to the corridor.
"Apply for entry of underwater exploration robots."
"permit."
"The robot enters the corridor."
"..."
"Lost signal."
"Request to initiate wake-up procedure."
"permit."
"Failed to wake up, request to restart the system."
"permit."
"Failed to restart system."
"..."
Joe's various types of exploration robots entered the corridor, and lost contact within three minutes at the longest.
Everyone stopped talking and were speechless for a moment.
Mu Qingyun sighed: "I guessed it. In all the records that can be found, it is said that this is still a dead end."
She paused, with a little helplessness on her face.
"The spear will only work once, and there is no chance to verify the authenticity. Once the person who pulls the spear does it, there is no chance to regret it. He must hold it tightly. If there is a mistake, the Dragon Breaking Stone will fall immediately. , everything is over.”
"There is also an unknown fungus growing in the corridor. It is very corrosive and can melt away a steel knife in just ten minutes."
Before the people in the conference room discussed the issue of killing fungi, Mu Qingyun shook his head and said, "Their roots are connected to the main control room. There is almost no difference between clearing them in advance and breaking ground. The agencies will be touched."
"Wait until Teacher Xiaofang turns off the main gate of the machine and then clean it up. If you don't have time and they feel threatened, they will crawl inside. By then it will be Teacher Xiaofang who has no place to hide."
Everyone: "..."
Mu Qingyun sighed.
Who would have thought that the reason she did this in the first place was just to earn a few hundred yuan in data fees.
Other students earn pocket money by doing some work like distributing flyers at most. But she was brought in with 50,000 yuan from the big benefactor Qiao, and she also met Teacher Xiao Fang, so it was difficult to escape.
Qiao Qing looked up at the big screen and stood up, "Student Mu, you don't have to worry about anything. You just need to help Mr. Fang enter the main control room. I will do the rest."
He raised his sword eyebrows slightly, "The ancients may not have been able to deal with such a method, but I am different. I will soon find a protective device that can fight against that kind of fungus."
Qiao Qing is simply full of persuasion.
In the ancient city, the situation of the expedition team was not as easy as it appeared. The expedition team lost contact before, and Qiao conducted an exploratory excavation. At that time, the mechanism was triggered, and several expedition members were injured.
They have been holding on underground for too long.
Mu Qingyun took a deep breath, put on the equipment and VR glasses, countless staff acted silently, and the entire base machine began to operate.
"let's start."
She gradually entered a subtle state, all the sounds from the outside world disappeared, and there was only this familiar ancient city in front of her.
The sound of the wind blowing on the mottled walls became so intimate.
The hanging stones on the dome that would smash people to pieces, the invisible flames and crossbow arrows that could erupt from the walls at any time, could not make her feel even the slightest bit scared.
She had a subtle premonition that they would not hurt her, but were sharp weapons in her hands.
Mu Qingyun's mind became increasingly empty, relaxed and happy, as if he didn't want to think about anything——
"Xiao Jia, you are too close!"
Teacher Xiao Fang's voice broke through the air. Mu Qingyun suddenly came back to his senses, his heart skipped a beat, and he fell back to consciousness. When he looked up, Lou Fangzheng stared helplessly at the 'bodyguard' behind him: "I'm just a You don’t need two people to do this, it’s not cost-effective.”
The 'bodyguard' put on his crooked leather jacket: "Three hundred million."
Lou Fang: "Mr. Qiao!"
Qiao Qing happened to try her voice: "Liquidated damages are cancelled, you don't have to follow him."
"I've never been in debt."
The 'bodyguard' said softly, "Don't be upset, I didn't want to die for you... I'm not going to die this time."
After saying that, he said to himself that the matter ended here and there was no need to discuss it further.
Lou Fang: "..."
Mu Qingyun smiled, his mind free of distractions for a moment, his only purpose was to let everyone return to the sun safely.
They are all good people with fresh and beautiful lives.
Mu Qingyun was solemn, his chest full of different emotions. Just as he was about to speak, there was a faint burst of cheers, laughter, and various thunderous electronic dazzling firecrackers coming from outside.
"..."
Qiao Qing waved her hand calmly and asked someone to go out and deal with it.
"There was a TV program team just now. They took some high school and university students to visit various disaster sites. The car broke down, just near our base."
Lou Fang let out a chuckle and laughed so hard.
Mu Qingyun: "...let's go."
No matter how surging emotions are interrupted many times, they will be dispersed to the point where not even the dregs are left.
Walking down the jade steps step by step, the surroundings were finally quiet.
A slight breeze blew past my ears, and this city seemed to have remained unchanged forever.
Under the jade steps, the colorful golden birds on the ground shine brightly.
"I'll show you the way. If you step on it correctly, if you make a wrong step, the hanging stone from the dome will fall. Then you can only choose to be smashed into meat patties, or fall into the mercury sea and take a bath."
Mu Qingyun's instructions were clear and somewhat cold, "Towards two o'clock, the middle part of the golden third section, the southern section of the golden fifth section, towards ten o'clock, the red ninth section..."
In the conference room, Qiao Wenshu felt that her clothes were soaked with sweat.
The two experts couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so they turned their heads and looked into the distance. They had devoted decades of time to academics, but at this time, they could no longer care about those research projects.
The pressure was overwhelming.
Qiao Wenshu went to get an oxygen bottle and breathed oxygen for a while. She seemed to hear an old guy crying in fear.
Ah Qing, this kid, will definitely have a great future.
I don’t know how long it took, but on the big screen, Lou Fang and Xiao Jia passed through the arrow net, crossed the stone pit, passed the fire wall and fire hole, and bypassed the poisonous gas...
Everyone's emotions finally became a little numb.
There seemed to be a smooth road in front of me, and the ground was smoother than the floor at home. It was peaceful.
Mu Qingyun's voice was as steady as before: "This is in front, below is the flip board and balance beam. Go over there and the main control room is here."
The atmosphere suddenly became a little more relaxed.
Lou Fang nodded, and he and Xiao Jia shared a piece of compressed biscuit and drank some water.
Mu Qingyun counted the time and said softly: "If I tell you to run, just run. If I tell you to jump, just jump. If I tell you to stop, just stop - now, run!"
The two men swooped over like rabbits.
In just a few breaths, a special cave can be seen in the distance.
The main control room is right in front of you.
"Jump-run!"
The two of them responded without hesitation.
Coming!
The next moment, the four walls suddenly shrank, and the sound of the squeaking mechanism was heard.
Lou Fang tilted his body uncontrollably.
Mu Qingyun's expression changed in shock: "Throw it to the east."
Xiao Jia suddenly stood up and rushed over, grabbing Lou Fang, and the two of them fell off the flap.
Bang bang bang!
The sound of heartbeats echoed in the conference room.
Everyone stood up and turned pale.
"Cough cough cough."
Lou Fang choked and coughed several times.
The camera quickly turned around. The two of them stood up from the skeleton of an elephant with difficulty, patted their chests, clasped their hands together and bowed: "I will build you a tomb and erect a monument when you get back. Thank you for saving your life."
Xiao Jia rolled his eyes, threw out the rope and climbed up.
Mu Qingyun's heart dropped and he took the towel handed by the assistant to wipe his face.
Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief, and several assistants gritted their teeth.
It was obvious that there was a problem outside the ancient city just now. Such an accident had happened before when they tested it.
Mu Qingyun didn't care about the outside, looked at the blue-black cave in front, and said quietly: "We're here."
Lou Fang and Xiao Jia looked at each other, raised their feet and walked over.
This time, it was smooth sailing.
After passing through the stone steps, which are not very long, about 500 steps, the entire stone cave is filled with gear mechanisms linked one after another, making the stone cave look like a huge machine nest.
"The blue disk in the center." Mu Qingyun pointed to the arched platform not far from the stone steps. "Turn it counterclockwise to the end, and the safety valve will open, and the ancient city's mechanisms will be locked."
Mu Qingyun's voice became softer and softer, "At the same time, the Dragon Breaking Stone will fall, and in an instant, poisonous gas will be released from the walls and the ground."
"Hoo, hoo."
In the conference room, breathing was heavy and stagnant.
Lou Fang laughed: "Mr. Qiao, are you ready?"
Qiao Qing: "Okay, wait for my signal."
He paused and asked calmly: "Mr. Fang, how long do you need?"
The building was silent.
Mu Qingyun said softly: "Five hundred stone steps, at Teacher Xiaofang's speed just now, ten minutes is the minimum."
Qiao Qing: "Okay, Mr. Fang, I'll give you ten minutes."
Lou Fang chuckled: "Seven minutes is enough, I promise. Xiao Jia, go and wait at the door of the control room."
Xiao Jia turned around and left without saying a word.
Mu Qingyun lowered his head.
She suddenly understood.
After thinking for a while, Mu Qingyun said: "Teacher Xiao Fang, when you come out, I will tell you a secret. I guarantee it will be a secret that no one else in the world has thought of."
Lou Fang blinked: "Yeah, no, tell me now."
Mu Qingyun smiled, raised his hand and took off his VR glasses, stood up and silently left the conference room.
Lou Fang suddenly lamented: "Does everyone know now that I hate being titillated the most?"
After passing through one laboratory after another, Mu Qingyun slowly walked out.
Walked out of the door, sat on the steps, raised his hands to cover his ears, and looked into the distance.
Someone seemed to be talking and laughing in the distance, which was very happy.
She was not in that ancient city.
She also doesn't know whether Teacher Xiaofang can escape the fate given to him by the plot.
This journey is longer than imagined.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...
Mu Qingyun suddenly closed his eyes and curled up slightly.
I don’t know how long it took, it could be very short, or it could be the length of a lifetime.
A hand suddenly placed heavily on Mu Qingyun's shoulder: "Hahahaha."
Teacher Qiao laughed in a rare and unladylike way: "If you win, I will let Mr. Qiao fulfill his promise when you go back. Even if half a million is not enough for you, why don't you ask for one million, and the Mu family's old house..."
Mu Qingyun stood up suddenly, but did not return to the conference room and ran out.
It was a mess outside the laboratory, with several students looking like they were arguing with the staff.
"Our classmates are just curious. What's wrong with Dong Yi Dong? Isn't this ancient city still shady?"
There are also a few students clamoring to go to the ancient city to 'visit and study'.
"Students, please read this. This is the approval document given to our company's expedition team by the Cultural Relics Administration. The ancient city is still in the protection stage. Tourists are not accepted and photography is not allowed."
Mu Qingyun's eyes lingered on the students' raised eyebrows, and suddenly she felt that there was a slight gap between her and the secular world under the sun.
Finally reached the lake.
From a distance, I could see Qiao Qing sitting quietly under the tree by the lake and sleeping unconsciously.
There were semi-coagulated blood clots in his hair and all over his body.
That face looked very safe.
Several people in white coats were surrounding him, using tweezers to pick out thin hyphae from his body.
Qiao Qing's chest rose and fell slightly. The sun was falling, and her face was red. She looked miserable, but she was still alive.
Mu Qingyun's impetuous heart dropped slightly.
When she heard Mr. Qiao asking Teacher Xiaofang the time before, she felt something was wrong. If Mr. Qiao really finds a machine that can withstand these things, why should he care so much about time when the machine works underwater?
He went by himself.
"I don't know what kind of protective clothing he is wearing, but he is quite powerful."
