Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1098 Dangerous situation in the city ()

"Uh... So Mr. Ban, what will happen if Gong Shuqiu is allowed to enter the forbidden area?" Thief Zhi followed the crowd and showed a solemn look like the others, but he raised such a question.

He knew that the forbidden area was important, but he didn't know exactly what was in it.

This is the same for Gao Jianli, Xue Nu, and Da Tiezhui, so they also set their sights on the senior class master.

"Hmm..." Master Ban had a gloomy face, glanced around at the people who were watching him, and replied in a quiet voice, "I don't know about this either, old man."

"Ouch!" Thief Zhi rolled his eyes when he heard this, "You don't know!"

Sledgehammer hugged himself in front of him with both hands, and said in a sullen tone, "Then why do you have such a long face?"

Master Ban choked back angrily, "I don't know the specifics, but outsiders must not be allowed to enter the forbidden area, let alone public losers... In short, it will not work if others are allowed to enter, that's for sure!"

Halfway through the words, Master Ben got stuck for a moment and skipped some content in an unclear manner.

Gao Jianli and the others were not interested in asking why at this time. Anyway, there must be a reason for the old man not to say anything.

"Then..." Master Zhizhi Class was really concerned about the forbidden area. After hesitating, he suggested, "How about I turn around and have a look after I run out later?"

As soon as he said this, Gao Jianli immediately objected, "No, you must find the giants as soon as possible to report the situation in the city, and there must be no extraneous matters!"

"But..." Thief Zhi looked at Master Ban with a troubled look on his face.

Fortunately, Master Ben relieved his difficulty, waved his hand and sighed, "No need, it's useless if you go, and you can't get in."

"Isn't the door open?" Daozhi was stunned and asked subconsciously.

The class master shook his head to the gear mechanism aside, "Isn't that locked again?"

"Can't open here?"

Master Ban shook his head, "No, all the organs in the forbidden area operate independently. The Black Ink Core Secret Room can only be viewed, not moved."

"And now that door can't be opened at all."

"What do you say?" Thieves Zhi simply started chatting with Master Ban.

Gao Jianli didn't care. He was still regulating his inner breath. When it was time to take action, he just chatted as much as he wanted.

"The door to the forbidden area is very special. It is always locked. To open it from the outside requires the ink core key to be unlocked - so it can only be opened with the permission of the giant or a majority vote."

"And once someone gets inside, another lock can be placed from the inside."

"That lock cannot be unlocked with any key, not even the person who locked it can unlock it. It will only be unlocked when you completely pass all the mechanisms in the forbidden area and come out from the exit."

Sledgehammer felt dizzy after hearing this, scratched his head and muttered, "It's quite troublesome to break the door..."

Thief Zhi grasped the key point, "Then if the person who entered did not break out and died directly in the forbidden area, wouldn't this door never be opened?"

Master Ban shook his head again, "No, there is another secret passage in the forbidden area. Going in from there is the end of the forbidden area."

"but……"

Thief Zhi laughed like he was playing tricks and said, "But you don't know, do you?"

Master Ben slapped the boy's outstretched finger away and said angrily, "Oh, then you are wrong, old man, I know."

"I just want to take that path, but the steps are much more troublesome. I don't think you can understand it just by dictating it."

"Hey!" Daozhi crossed his arms, leaned back, and curled his lips, "How do you know I can't remember it if you don't tell me." But Master Ban waved his hands directly, "Forget it, forget it, don't think about it. Now, focus on reporting the news to the giants."

"Weizhuang blocked us here but he is not worried at all. It is clear that he is just waiting for the giants and others to fall into his trap, or he is more anxious over there."

"But..." Master Ban picked up what he had just interrupted, "If Gong Shuqiu got the key to the ink core and the mechanism map, he should be able to find the secret passage directly without entering from the main entrance of the forbidden area. ?”

"And he took the initiative to lock it, cutting off his own escape route."

"Even if his machine skills are... just passable, they are still extremely dangerous. It's not something he would do anyway."

"Is it possible that the old guy's eyesight is so dim that he can't understand the drawings?" Master Ban muttered this, not so much making a guess, but maliciously cursing the other party. Hearing this, Thief Zhi scratched his head.

"Anyway... according to you, there is a high chance that the person who goes in is not a public loser?" Thief Zhi ignored the curse at the back and summarized the previous sentences.

Master Ben hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Judging from the current request for money, it is unlikely that the public will lose their revenge.

"So, this is good news?" Thief Zhi asked again.

Master Ban nodded again, "That's right."

"The mechanisms in the forbidden area are quite difficult to set up. Some of them are difficult for even martial arts masters like you to deal with."

"As long as it's not someone like Gong Shuqiu who is also proficient in mechanism skills, the chance of safely breaking through the forbidden area is not high."

Snow Girl was silently listening to the conversation between the two, and somehow she always had a bad feeling in her heart.

Her subconscious told her that maybe the person entering the forbidden area was completely unexpected.

At this time, the disciple responsible for observing the external situation interrupted the chat, "Commanders, there is a situation outside!"

Thief Zhi was the fastest and took the lead in reaching the observation hole, peering into the central hall outside.

The other people stopped when they saw this. It would be enough for one person to watch and wait for Thief Zhi to report it later.

And in Thief Zhi's sight, he only saw a figure whose whole body was covered by a black robe with strange patterns. No physical features could be seen clearly, and even men and women could not be distinguished. He walked to the table and meditated with his eyes closed while leaning on the shark's teeth. Wei Zhuang stood beside him and whispered a few words to him.

These words didn't seem to be good news, and Wei Zhuang's face was obviously gloomy.

After the two sides exchanged a few words, the shadow left.

After that, Wei Zhuang mobilized several more Qin soldiers, and calm returned to the central hall.

Seeing that there were no other noteworthy things happening, Thief Zhi left the observation position.

"What happened?" Snow Girl was the first to ask.

"Uh..." Thief Zhi organized his words, "A man dressed in black and completely faceless came to Wei Zhuang - I think he should be the black unicorn."

"He gives people a very strange feeling. He just... doesn't look like a specific person, or... in short, I feel that he fits the image of a master of disguise."

Although the whole story is based on men's intuition, everyone chose to believe in Robber Zhi.

Listening to his description, this man indeed looks like a master of disguise who doesn't want to reveal his true appearance.
