Chapter 1214 Mysterious Cross
Shi Lei specially bought a black sportswear, prepared a black mask, and a black baseball cap. Basically, he was shrouded in black.
It looks a bit like the night outfit worn by ancient thieves at night.
This is just a place for tourists to visit. Apart from those buildings, there are not many things worthy of strict protection. The most valuable ones are the building itself and the reliefs on it. These are almost impossible to be stolen without using large equipment.
Therefore, the security measures here are not too strict.
But even so, there are always guards on duty, and the guards on duty here are all equipped with guns, so Shi Lei carefully used ancient martial arts cards and patiently chose a martial arts master who is good at light skills.
Of course, this kind of light skills is not something that can be easily jumped by more than ten meters high in martial arts novels. Flying the eaves and walls are just exaggerations in martial arts novels. Shi Lei will definitely not be able to do it on the grass, but it is barely reliable to be as light as a swallow.
At least, the fence outside the temple could not stop Shi Lei at all. He just grabbed the railing and jumped gently, and relied on the power of his arms to make his body rise into the air, and then easily flipped over the fence.
After entering the temple area, Shi Lei lowered his body and fully displayed his speed.
I dare not say that compared with the world's top sprinters, at least his sprint speed is close to ten meters per second.
Without much effort, Shi Lei entered the main building of Hephaestus Temple. Then, without hesitation, he hugged a large stone pillar with his hands, and climbed up easily like an ape.
After reaching the top, he saw more clearly. There was indeed a gap about the thickness of a finger between the top of the stone pillar and the edge of the vault.
Shi Lei took out a strong flashlight from his pocket and shone it in along the gap. He saw the steel cable inside, and could vaguely see a little something similar to a gear.
With his hands swaying on the arch, Shi Lei pressed his body tightly against the edge of the arch. Although he was facing the ground, he still clamped the edge of the arch, like a gecko, gradually moving along the edge of the arch.
The speed was not fast, but this was not too big a temple. Shi Lei still took only more than two minutes to circle around.
No possible mechanism was found. Shi Lei knew that the mechanism in this temple was not above the vault.
Then, it should have fallen near those stone pillars.
After swimming upstream from another stone pillar, Shi Lei began to study and search for stone pillars one by one, but he found nothing at all when he found it at around 4 o'clock in the morning.
It seems that the mechanism of this mechanism is also very well hidden.
Shi Lei was not in a hurry. It was past four o'clock and it was not too far from dawn. He decisively found a corner he had touched during the day. This was a sunken beside the steps outside the temple, which could completely accommodate his body.
When the time for the temple to open for sightseeing was up, Shi Lei found an opportunity to get out of it, pretended to be a tourist who came to visit, left the temple and returned to the hotel.
I slept well during the day, woke up at night and went to have supper directly. Then, Shi Lei continued to wait until midnight and sneaked into the Temple of Hephaestus again.
After spending almost the whole night to study, Shi Lei still failed to find the mechanical cure smoothly, which surprised him. After all, the mechanical application knowledge he has now mastered is much better than the world, and he can't even find it. How did those people do it at the beginning?
Shi Lei suspected that he might have found the wrong direction.
On the third day, after dinner in the evening, Shi Lei sat in the hotel room and put out the photos he had taken before on the computer. After studying them carefully, he did not gain much.
Sitting on the sofa, Shi Lei closed his eyes and thought hard.
Could it be that the mechanisms in this temple are not in the temple, but outside the temple?
After twelve o'clock in the evening, Shi Lei set out again and entered the Hephaestus Temple for the third time at night.
This time, he no longer entered the temple, but searched around the edge outside the temple.
The guards of the temple came out to patrol from time to time, which caused some difficulties for Shi Lei's research.
Shi Lei knew that he had to find the place where Ji Kuo was tonight, otherwise he would not have enough confidence to come in tomorrow night.
He used ancient martial arts cards for three consecutive nights. Without the help of ancient martial arts cards, he really didn't dare to say that he would be able to successfully enter the temple through the surveillance and eyes of the guards.
If it really doesn't work, I can only wait until June to come again.
It just didn't go as expected. It was already dark at around 4 o'clock in the morning, and Shi Lei still couldn't find any mechanism.
He had no choice but to hide in the small depression on the side of the steps again. He felt very surprised that he had not discovered anything for three days, which was obviously not a normal thing.
The recessed space on the side of the steps is very narrow, and Shi Lei is almost unable to move while he is nestled inside.
I couldn't help feeling a little anxious, and Shi Lei felt tired earlier than before.
He tried to turn his direction and stretch his legs out and stretch them a little, but after such a turn, he knocked his head against a bulge on the inner side of the sunken.
It is almost difficult for light to come in here, so Shi Lei, who has been hiding here twice, actually doesn't know much about this depression.
He suddenly hit his head and felt something was cylindrical. Shi Lei couldn't help but feel a slight slight bump in his heart.
It's not such a coincidence...
Shi Lei didn't care much, listened and confirmed that there was no sound of the guard walking around. He barely took out a strong flashlight from his pocket.
Then, he turned the flashlight into normal light mode and turned it on.
With his head tilted, Shi Lei noticed that there was indeed a raised object on the top of his head.
After looking carefully, Shi Lei found that it seemed to be a cross that was not very standard.
cross?
This is obviously not something that should appear in a Greek temple. It is a symbol of Christianity. In other words, this thing must have been designed by the Byzantine architect. Otherwise, how could a symbol of Christianity appear?
In the depression, Shi Lei barely turned his body and finally faced the cross.
He stretched out his hand and tried to break the cross, but found that he couldn't break it at all.
Try pushing it in, still motionless.
Pulling out, still motionless.
However, a cross suddenly appeared in this ghost place, which itself means a special situation.
Shi Lei thought that it might be because of his current position that he could not exert force at all, and this cross, as a mechanism, must require considerable strength to make it move.
He hesitated for a moment and looked at the sky outside. It was almost bright. After a while, even the sun was about to rise.
Shi Lei listened carefully to the outside world and decided to take the risk.
