Zhou Wen tried using the mysterious phone's camera function to take a look at the metal block, but there was no reaction. Clearly, it was something that couldn't be stored in the phone.
Zhou Wen tried pressing the nine-palace grid again and realized that although the grid didn't sink, there seemed to be a faint glow.
Don't tell me these grids are really keys? Zhou Wen pressed the other grids. As long as the pressure reached a certain level, every grid would emit a flash.
Could it be that this metal block is really a box with a password? Then what's the password? Could it be the ten-digit number that the former principal gave me? Zhou Wen thought for a moment and felt that something was amiss.
There were no numbers on the grid. Even if the ten numbers given by the old headmaster were really the password, he did not know which grid was 1 and which grid was 9.
Typically, the number keys are arranged in order. 123 is the first row, 456 is the second row, and 789 is the third row. However, the grid is a square. I don't know which side is the first row. Zhou Wen thought for a moment and felt that he could give it a try.
If it was really arranged in order, he should be able to figure it out after a few more tries.
Therefore, Zhou Wen tried using the ten-digit password. 5156942730. Zhou Wen remembered this number very clearly, but he soon realized that something was amiss.
This was because the grid only had nine keys, and one of the ten digits was a zero. There was no way to press this zero.
It doesn't work at all. From the looks of it, I was overthinking things. Zhou Wen looked at the metal block and suddenly recalled that he had seen a similar grid on the metal block that locked the silver-haired Companion Beast. However, there were numbers on the grid.
Zhou Wen carefully recalled the numbers on the grid.
Thankfully, he had a good memory. Back then, he had looked carefully and quickly recalled that the numbers in the grid weren't arranged in order, but were messed up.
249 … 715 … 603 … I remember that the numbers on the metal block should be distributed like this. Strange, there's no 8 in the grid. Zhou Wen's heart stirred as he thought about the ten-digit password. Indeed, there wasn't an 8 in it.
Although this didn't mean anything, Zhou Wen suddenly felt that he might be able to give it a try.
"If the numbers on this small metal block are arranged in the same way as the big metal block, then it should be pressed like this." Zhou Wen pressed the ten-digit password according to his memory, but the metal block still didn't react.
Zhou Wen turned the grid 90 degrees clockwise before continuing his attempts. When Zhou Wen finished pressing the tenth digit, he suddenly heard a very faint click.
Zhou Wen was immediately delighted as he hurriedly looked at the metal block. Indeed, he saw a crack on the side of the metal block. With a gentle twist, the metal block split into two.
It was different from the box Zhou Wen had imagined. The metal block was nearly solid. In the middle, there was a circular crystal that was about the size of Yuan Datou's silver dollar.
After the metal block cracked, the crystal fell out and landed on the table with a clang.
The crystal was transparent, but there were many silver points of light inside. It was as though countless galaxies were flowing inside, making it look extremely beautiful.
Zhou Wen picked up the crystal and took a closer look. It was slightly cold to the touch, but there weren't any special energy fluctuations. On the side that Zhou Wen saw, there was a symbol of an anchor engraved on it.
This anchor symbol wasn't unfamiliar to Zhou Wen. He had seen it a few times before. It was on the large metal block, and Gu Dian also had a similar tattoo.
However, the anchor symbol was somewhat different. There wasn't a woman's side profile on it. It was just a simple anchor symbol.
Perhaps it's just a coincidence? Zhou Wen thought to himself as he flipped the crystal over to take a look. He couldn't help but be stunned.
The crystal looked transparent, but when he flipped it over, he realized that it wasn't the case. There was a woman's head engraved on this side. She had a side profile and looked extremely beautiful. It was identical to the one Zhou Wen had seen on the anchor symbol in the past.
It's really related, but what's the use of this thing that looks like a commemorative coin? Why did the former principal tell me the password to the box? Why didn't he just give me the box or the crystal coin? If I hadn't seen the metal block that locked the silver-haired Companion Beast, or if I hadn't come here to obtain the small metal block, it would be useless even if I had the password. Countless thoughts flashed through Zhou Wen's mind, but the more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became.
From the looks of it, I won't be able to answer these questions if I don't find the former principal. I wonder what this crystal coin is used for? Zhou Wen studied it for a while, but he didn't discover any use for the crystal coin. All he could do was place it back into the metal block.
When the cracked metal blocks were placed together, they immediately seemed to have a powerful magnetic force that sucked them together. There wasn't even a gap in the middle.
Zhou Wen tried to pry it open a few times, but it didn't budge at all. It was as though there was no gap at all.
This metal block is really magical. I wonder if the large metal block that locked the silver-haired Companion Beast can be opened with a password. Although Zhou Wen felt that it was very possible, he didn't plan on giving it a try.
After putting the metal block into the chaos space, Zhou Wen was about to take out the Torch Dragon Companion Egg to see if he could hatch it when he suddenly heard someone walk into the tent.
"Young Master Wen, someone from the encampment is here. They want you to head over immediately. Adjutant An wants to speak to you," Lu Yunxian said as he entered.
"Got it. How's the investigation on the blood sacrifice?" Zhou Wen asked casually.
"It's still being investigated. There are more than twenty people who handled it. We're investigating them one by one, but we haven't found anything yet. Adjutant An said that he will personally investigate this matter. Before he comes, no one related to this matter is allowed to leave," Lu Yunxian said.
Zhou Wen was relieved when he heard that An Sheng was personally investigating the matter.
He took Xu Wen with him and left the underground trail in a chariot. After returning to the encampment, Zhou Wen's phone finally had a signal.
Before Zhou Wen could call An Sheng, An Sheng had already called. "Young Master Wen, didn't we agree to wait for me to return? Why didn't you wait for me? You took all the credit for yourself. It's really sad. "
"Didn't you go hatch the Mythical pet? I just didn't want to distract you," Zhou Wen said with a smile.
"Young Master Wen, remember to bring me along if there's such a good thing in the future. Look at me. I've worked hard for so many years, but I'm still just an adjutant. I also want to make a contribution and be promoted. The next time you go to the Qiongqi temple, you have to bring me along. Now that I have a love letter, I should be able to help, "An Sheng said.
"Alright, I'll definitely bring you along next time." Zhou Wen knew that An Sheng was joking. Although An Sheng was only an adjutant and didn't have a high position, he actually had a lot of authority. He could be said to be a figure with real power in the Sunset Army.
An Sheng said that mainly because he didn't want Zhou Wen to take the risk alone.
"Did Torch Dragon drop anything good?" An Sheng didn't say anything else since he had gotten the message across.
"Companion Egg," Zhou Wen answered.
"Young Master Wen, you're really lucky. Overseer has killed some Mythical creatures in recent years, but his luck with Companion Eggs isn't that great. You previously killed Love Letter with us and a Companion Egg dropped. Now that you killed Torch Dragon, another Companion Egg dropped. You're really lucky. If I were to kill a Mythical creature next time, Young Master Wen, you have to help me, "An Sheng said with a smile.
Zhou Wen thought to himself, It would be a wonder if my luck is good. I've killed countless Mythical creatures in-game, but not many Companion Eggs dropped.
"By the way, Young Master Wen, we've found out some information regarding the cube rankings." An Sheng's tone turned solemn.
