Chapter 660

【You're overthinking it. The reason the Prince of Gumo did this should be that he fully believes in the power of people.】

【As I said before, Mr. Zhang once said that if you can't do these things, you can't go to the Ancient City of Jingjue.】

【What the hell is actually there? If nothing else works, just drop a nuke on it—whatever's there will get blasted away.】

【That's a distance of ten meters. The dome above the cell is that high, and there isn't any hanging ornament either. It would be nearly impossible to borrow any force.】

【It's just that you think it's impossible. I feel that since Mr. Zhang said it out loud, he probably has a certain understanding of the abilities of the people above on the Second Archaeology Team.】

【Stop making wild guesses. Mr. Zhang being able to solve these puzzles is already impressive enough. He's not a member of the archaeology team.】

【Saying this much is already a favor. Whether anyone can do it has nothing to do with Mr. Zhang. The method is right there, and the sequence is clearly drawn.】

On another live broadcast feed from the Second Archaeology Team, Shen Qiong held the marker map in her hand and revealed a bitter smile.

For her, this task was not impossible to accomplish, but if she did it, Shen Qiong was afraid it would arouse everyone's suspicion.

As a member of the Wang family, she had received all kinds of professional training since childhood. Although her physical abilities were not as good as Yang Lu's, this task could not stump her.

Although she had not seen the specific structure of the cell, for a distance of ten meters she figured that as long as there was a door and a wall, she could borrow the force to step directly onto that stone brick.

Even if she couldn't borrow force from the wall, as long as she was given more than ten meters of distance for a running start, she could still pull it all off.

But at this moment, Shen Qiong's heart fell into an extremely conflicted state.

Young Master Zhao came over at an inopportune moment. Naturally, he had heard all this information as well.

He now wore a mocking smile and said: "Aren't you awesome? Don't you always give me a hard time? How about now?"

Both sides were clear that only the two of them could be used up above.

Young Master Zhao Has Already defaulted that the first mechanism belonged to him, so the second one must be Shen Qiong's.

Moreover, under the first mechanism, Young Master Zhao could still make some efforts of his own.

But this second mechanism inside the cell had nothing whatsoever to do with him.

If they let him do this task, it would be more straightforward to just shoot him dead on the spot.

Anyway, the result was destined to fail, even if his leg wasn't injured right now...

Thinking of this, a flash of cunning crossed Young Master Zhao's eyes, and he immediately said: "Sigh—if only my leg weren't injured. Otherwise, a distance of ten meters would be a piece of cake for me."

【You Zhao surnamed bastard! Can you shut that cesspool of a mouth of yours!】

【At a time like this and still showing off—looks like you weren't hit hard enough earlier!】

The live stream's chat immediately erupted in curses. No one would believe what Young Master Zhao had just said.

In fact, even Young Master Zhao himself didn't believe it, but he just wanted to use this method to give Shen Qiong a hard time.

It was also a way to pile pressure on Shen Qiong. If Shen Qiong couldn't pull it off in the end, then he couldn't be blamed.

Actually, when Young Master Zhao heard about the second shadow mechanism, his heart had skipped a beat.

He thought to himself that this matter was destined to fail, but very soon a sense of relief crept into his heart.

Since the first mechanism couldn't be cheated, the length of time he held on would also determine whether Shen Qiong's side succeeded or failed.

Young Master Zhao was afraid that if he couldn't hold the two pull rings, the Heavy Cage would fall again, causing the entire mechanism to collapse.

Then he would become the target of everyone's arrows, and never be able to hold his head up as a person again.

After all, tens of millions of people were looking forward to watching this scene unfold.

But now Young Master Zhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Some things are beyond human power. If Shen Qiong backed out at this point, it would save him the effort.

So right now Young Master Zhao felt he had to gain the upper hand verbally, as a roundabout way of whitewashing himself.

Shen Qiong knew that as a member of the Wang family, under any circumstances, she needed to maintain absolute caution.

Giving Young Master Zhao a hard time earlier was simply because she couldn't stand the sight of him.

But at a critical moment like this, she couldn't bicker with him anymore, because it was pointless and might even cause her to make some wrong choice.

But Shen Qiong was young after all. No matter how professional her training had been, at this moment she ultimately couldn't hold back.

She glared fiercely at Young Master Zhao and said sharply: "Does your leg not hurt anymore? Fine then, the team doctor can give you a nerve block to temporarily restore your leg. This task is yours then."

"I'll hold the pull rings up above. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Young Master Zhao's eyes suddenly went wide. He never in his life expected that Shen Qiong would actually counter him.

He subconsciously gulped, and had already begun imagining the scene inside the cell from earlier.

That pitch-black place—he hadn't been afraid before when he went in alone holding the Luo Pan.

The first reason was that when he saw the Luo Pan's needle spinning, he was extremely excited, feeling he could show off a bit.

Another most important point was that everyone was at the entrance and he could hear them talking. That was also why he felt reassured.

But now if you asked him to go down there alone, he would instinctively fear that darkness and silence. And most importantly, he had already developed a psychological shadow about that place.

Even when he got to that bank, he would recall the scene of Wang Wang Kaixuan mercilessly beating him with the military shovel.

There was also the matter of the sleeve-arrow mechanism inside the cell—any of these could make him piss himself in terror at the time.

All his unsightly moments would be exposed under the live broadcast cameras. Young Master Zhao would rather die than see such an outcome.

The next moment, Young Master Zhao steadied himself and said: "You think I don't dare? But my injury is external, not a fracture, and I don't have a cast on. What nerve block are you talking about? Do you have any sense of science?"

Shen Qiong smiled faintly and continued to press her advantage: "Fine, painkillers work too. There's always some way to stop your pain. Since it's not a bone injury, it won't affect your movement. As long as you can figure out a way, I'll go get it for you."

The implication was very clear. Since you, Young Master Zhao, have spoken so brazenly, it means you're very confident. I won't fight you for it—all the credit goes to you.

Let's see then how well you can get this done.

Actually, Shen Qiong's words were not just out of spite or joking.

The key lay in the conflict deep within her heart.

In fact, Shen Qiong was now seriously considering her own proposal. If she really did this, the livestream viewers would certainly curse her for shirking responsibility or being a coward, and so on.

But these were not what Shen Qiong cared about. The key was that she had to ensure her identity was absolutely not exposed.
