"Little Meow, do you think the treasure map of Cromwell's pirate days is in this Rubik's Cube?"
Hayashi River muttered as he unlocked it remotely.
"Meow …"
On the other side, Blue Kitty waved its paw and gave an affirmative reply.
It also hoped that it was a pirate's treasure map. That way, it could follow its master and search for the pirate's treasure.
Hayashi River nodded. He also felt that it was very possible. After all, this Rubik's Cube contained amazing skills. Even Cromwell would not be able to make it easily. There must be something important inside.
Beep …
The last facet was unlocked. Hayashi River and Little Blue Kitty shrunk their bodies at the same time and quietly observed the movements of the Rubik's Cube.
Click, click …
The facets on the surface of the Rubik's Cube flipped. One by one, the small squares flipped and sank into the Rubik's Cube.
In this situation, it was as if the Rubik's Cube had become a pocket, and the innermost layer was flipped to the outermost layer.
Then, a picture appeared and lightly fell on the table.
Behind the defensive device, Hayashi River glanced at it and controlled Little White to touch the Rubik's Cube. There was no reaction.
He then examined the surface of the picture. There were no poisonous substances left.
Hayashi River got up and walked forward quickly. He picked up the picture and looked at it.
In the next moment, his body trembled. His face began to contort and his expression became ferocious.
Whoosh!
Blue Kitty also scurried over and stood on the table. From afar, its little body also trembled. Its expression was as ferocious as its master's.
It was a picture of a man.
This man was strangely tall. His long grayish-brown hair was draped over his shoulders. His eyes were deep. He wore a blue and white pirate suit. There was an arrogance between his brows.
Hayashi River was very familiar with such a character. He often saw him in history books. There was even a statue of this man on the Nanluo Mountain Range on the outskirts of Nanluo City.
A picture of the continent's Madman, Cromwell!?
Hayashi River: "(ー `′ ー)"
Blue Kitty: "(ー `′ ー)"
He threw the photo on the ground with a thud, and the man and the cat stomped on the photo, leaving footprints and cat prints all over it.
"That damned Cromwell. Is he afraid that others won't know that this Rubik's Cube was made by him?"
Hayashi River gritted his teeth. He had spent so much time and energy to solve the Rubik's Cube, only to find out that Cromwell had left behind a photo in order to put on an act. He was furious.
"Damn … I was hoping to find Cromwell's treasure …"
Hayashi River sat on the chair and felt a little exhausted. He didn't want to move at all.
"Meow …"
At this moment, the Blue Kitty tugged at Hayashi River's pants and pointed at the photo with its paw. It had found something.
"Hmm? What's in this photo … "
Hayashi River picked up the photo, and the mechanical arm turned into a detector. Light shone through, and a topographic map appeared on the photo.
After copying the topographic map, Hayashi River was surprised to find that it was a simplified map of the Cracked Scale Forest. There were two marks at the edge of the forest.
Comparing it to the current map, Hayashi River frowned and murmured, "These are the locations of the two observation stations in the Cracked Scale Forest …"
Sitting on the chair, Hayashi River was deep in thought. Was there anything special about the locations of these two observation stations that made Cromwell specially mark them?
With this thought in mind, Hayashi River picked up the Rubik's Cube and played with it for a while. To his surprise, he found that one of the edges of the Rubik's Cube was different.
After examining it, he found that the pattern on the edge was the [Ninety-nine Layers Yuan Code Lock].
"There's something else in this Rubik's Cube … Is this the Matryoshka's Cube?" Hayashi River was shocked.
After resting for a while, Hayashi River got up and put away the Rubik's Cube. He wasn't in the mood or energy to continue unlocking it today.
"Let's go. Let's go to Dark Water Beach and find the Dark Water Jumping Fish there to test the power of the mechanical arm. Let's see if it's worth upgrading … "
"Meow …"
…
Cracked Scale Forest, Cracked Scale County Observation Station.
Late at night, Bai Mi woke up. He was extremely thirsty.
Today was his first day at the Cracked Scale County Observation Station. His colleagues here were very enthusiastic and held a celebration for him. He drank too much and instantly passed out.
He tried to open his eyes. It was pitch-black all around. There was no light or sound.
Didn't the observation station turn on its lights at night …
Bai Mi found it strange. White dwarves had very good night vision. As long as there was a little bit of light, he could see his surroundings clearly.
He felt a little strange. Why was his lower body cold? It was as if he was sleeping on the ground.
Could it be that his colleagues left him alone after he passed out and let him sleep on the ground? His colleagues were so enthusiastic, they shouldn't have done that, right?
Or was this a prank on a newcomer …
Squinting his eyes, Bai Mi tried to look around and found that it was as he had guessed. He really was lying in the hall of the celebration, and he could even smell the strong smell of alcohol.
What was that …
Suddenly, he saw a figure standing at the entrance of the hall.
"Whoosh …"
A gust of wind blew, and the figure floated up. Oh, no, the figure was wearing a long dress, the kind that was very loose and fluttering in the wind.
"Who is this …"
Bai Mi felt a wave of fear. He felt that something was wrong, and his thoughts became much clearer.
Even in the middle of the night, there should be people on duty in the Split Scale Commandery Station. It was impossible for there to be no lights.
He moved his arms and legs, but to his horror, he couldn't move his body at all. It was as if he was being pressed down by a rock.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh …
The cold wind blew, and the figure swayed as if it was weightless. It floated over and seemed to have discovered that Bai Mi had woken up.
"What should I do … Why can't I move my body …"
Bai Mi was terrified. He tried to control his body. As long as his legs could move, he would be fine. After all, he was the Split Scale Commandery's long-distance running record holder.
At this time, Bai Mi was pleasantly surprised to find that his fingers could move, and his neck seemed to be able to move.
He turned his head slightly, trying to find an escape route. His eyes suddenly widened, and shock appeared on his face.
On the ground to his left was a White Dwarf. It was one of Bai Mi's colleagues who had tried to persuade him to drink before he passed out.
At this moment, this colleague was lying on the ground with his head facing Bai Mi. One of his eyes was red, and the other was drooping. The blood flowing out had already coagulated.
Boom …
Fear spread like a tide, and Bai Mi felt that his heart was about to stop beating.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the figure appeared in front of Bai Mi. He bent down and lowered his head to face Bai Mi.
The figure's hair was disheveled, and under the withered yellow hair was a burnt girl's face. Her eyes had no pupils, and she stared coldly at Bai Mi.
"Ah …"
Bai Mi could finally make a sound. He screamed in horror, his voice echoing throughout the observation station.
…
Morning.
West side of the Split Scale Forest, Gray Furnace Observation Station.
Second floor, station master's office.
"Ah …"
A young White Dwarf sat and screamed. His mouth was so wide that one could clearly see his jaw moving.
Hayashi River held a plate in front of him to prevent Amod's saliva from spraying all over him.
He secretly curled his lips. Was there a need to be so scared in broad daylight? This was not the Split Scale Commandery Observation Station, but the Gray Furnace Observation Station.
On the opposite side, Yi Xing held Blue Kitty in one hand and a cup of tea in the other. He drank as if nothing had happened, but there was a look of disappointment on his face. He thought that this horrifying incident would scare the two young people, but it only scared one.
Amod screamed for half a minute before finally stopping. He drank some water in shock and glanced at the two White Dwarf special forces soldiers behind him who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
"Get out! You don't know anything about what happened just now, understand? "Amod roared angrily.
The two special forces soldiers saluted and immediately left. They couldn't hold it in anymore.
"I've been afraid of hearing this since I was young, but if I'm at the scene, I'm actually very calm," Amod said.
Hayashi River squinted his eyes. This brother was really thick-skinned. The place he should be at was the Split Scale Commandery Observation Station, why did he come to the Gray Furnace Observation Station?
Looking around at the misty Split Scale Forest outside the window, Hayashi River didn't expect to arrive at the observation station so soon.
Two days ago, he was still planning to prepare for a period of time to break through to Rank 2 Heart Warrior before exploring the edge of the Split Scale Forest.
He didn't expect to receive Teacher Tie Yin's notice early in the morning that something terrible had happened at the Split Scale Commandery Observation Station. He was asked to follow Yi Xing to the Gray Furnace Observation Station to gather relevant clues.
"Sister Yi Xing, tell us the details. Did the only survivor, Bai Mi, really die in a night at the Split Scale Commandery Observation Station?"
Hayashi River looked at Yi Xing and said.
Yi Xing tilted her head and looked out the window. "In fact, it's already very lucky to have one survivor."
Di di …
Turning on the detector, Yi Xing brought out the data and let Lin Chuan and Amod look at their past records.
"This is …"
