There was no danger when approaching the box, but Ji Xun didn't dare to be careless.
He turned his head and asked Chujiu beside him: "Can this box be opened?"
This kind of thing is beyond his current understanding. It is better to ask knowledgeable people.
Chujiu took a look and said: "Well, the box is just an ordinary box. Catastrophic objects are not easily destroyed. It should be able to be opened."
Ji Xun felt relieved after hearing this.
Since it is a trophy, it must be taken away.
But it is impossible to just go out with this box, otherwise it will be seen by others, and disaster will happen instantly.
And the three of them were very curious about what was inside.
The box had a simple lock. Ji Xun took out the master key and heard a "click" not long after.
Just when this sound came out, even Chujiu and Nan Jing's eyes trembled for a moment.
The contents of this box were so mysterious that the three of them were looking forward to it.
Ji Xun calmed down his thoughts, carefully checked that there were no mechanisms, and then opened it.
I originally thought there would be something special inside.
But at first glance, it turned out to be a... clay pot slightly larger than a fist?
It looks like an ordinary clay pot, dusty.
But if you look closely, you will find that there are densely packed pocket incantations on the entire pot. Those mysterious lines are like chains, sealing the pot tightly.
At first glance, it seems unremarkable, but the closer you look, the more it has a sense of simplicity and mystery.
Enlightenment shows up very subtly.
【x-711-Mysterious Clay Pot】
Detailed explanation: Catastrophic object numbered ‘x-711’; can be exempted from all curses that are not higher than the legal level of the object itself;
Ji Xun now knows that the content displayed by Enlightenment is related to his own cognition.
This clay pot is immune to the curse, an effect they have already seen.
It doesn't mean it only has this single function.
The higher the level of the item, the more hidden information that cannot be pried into.
There was speculation on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year that if this guy had a storage ring in his hand, then there was a high probability that it was some special item that could not be contained.
This kind of ancient relic that cannot be contained has a specific name - catastrophic object.
Usually, this kind of thing has some magical effects.
Ji Xun looked at it very curiously and said, "Is this a catastrophic object? But what does this number mean?"
This is a high-end topic that people at the bottom have no access to.
Chujiu obviously knew these secrets and explained: "x stands for 'X Bureau', a mysterious department of the Federation. Its full name is 'Federal Catastrophic Emergency Management and Unknown Paranormal Object Containment Bureau'. The number 711 is temporarily assigned to this case The number of the catastrophic object. The catastrophic object is not necessarily an artifact. It may be energy, rules, monsters, viruses, divinity...or other strange existences. Once discovered, it is generally difficult to understand it in a short time. The federation usually uses this number to distinguish its specific role."
Hearing this, Ji Xun thought about removing his [joker] card.
Once in the 407 Research Institute, it seemed to be a source of disaster?
After a pause, Chujiu continued: "But what is certain is that the catastrophic objects that cannot be contained are all relics of gods and demons. All of them contain the power of top laws and point to some ultimate mystery of the universe that humans cannot control. ."
When Ji Xun heard this, he didn't know how serious it was.
Not to mention the ultimate mystery, just the full name of this "x game" shows that it is very high-end.
He didn't ask Chujiu why he knew it, but asked curiously: "There are more than 700 such catastrophic objects in federal storage?"
Chujiu shook his head and said: "The specific number is unknown. This number has a history of many years. Some of the catastrophic objects pointed to by the number have been lost, sealed, or no longer exist for other reasons. Some are not listed. But Qianbai
The accumulation over the years is indeed quite a lot.”
"I see."
Ji Xun was also immediately stunned.
He also thought that this might be a version of the legend that has been spread all over the city of innocence recently, the cataclysmic object obtained by the Cao family in the Governor's Mansion?
I thought someone was deliberately spreading false news, but I didn't expect it to be true.
But if you hadn't seen its ability to resist the Keeper's curse, it would be easy to overlook the value of this clay pot, and perhaps just ignore it as a broken pot.
As for opening the clay pot?
After thinking about it, I gave up the idea.
Not to mention that he didn't understand how to open the thing at all, even if he could, Ji Xun wouldn't dare to do it for the time being.
The explanation before the ninth day of the Lunar New Year was very clear. Regardless of whether you understand what it is, this jar must be very high-end.
I don’t know how he died if he touched randomly.
Now that it can block curses, once you use it, it is already an "artifact".
...
After all, people didn't kill themselves, and Ji Xun didn't have the nerve to put things away.
Chujiu didn't seem to care at all.
Her mood has always been very low.
After being stabbed in the back, he seemed to have no interest in anything.
The jars are placed in the secret room.
Ji Xun didn't rush to count the loot, but looked at the very fresh corpse and used the feast skill.
The corpse of the third-level spell card master was the highest quality corpse Ji Xun had ever encountered so far.
Its remaining extraordinary properties are very rich and cannot be wasted.
"You used Feast Devour, and your constitution is 0.009."
"You used Feast Devouring, power 0.016"
"You use Feast to Devour, and your ice affinity is 0.02."
"..."
With this swallowing, extraordinary characteristics are continuously integrated into the body.
No one else saw anything unusual when using the Feast skill. Ji Xun sat next to the corpse and ate it. He could also distract himself by looking at the carvings above his head and on the wall tiles around the secret room to find the doorway.
Not long after, Nanjing helped Chujiu take care of his new injuries, and she also began to ponder the carvings in the secret room.
But the symbols on the wall seemed to have another kind of drowsy magic power. After looking at them for a long time, my thoughts became hazy.
Nan Jing looked at the symbols that seemed to come to life and run around all over the sky. He was already dizzy and said faintly: "It's strange. Why do I feel that after looking at these symbols for a long time, it seems that a lot of things have been stuffed in my head, making me feel dizzy?
"
Hearing this, Ji Xun also raised his eyes and glanced at her.
Because he himself feels the same way.
I thought it was an illusion caused by the depressing environment, but it turned out that others also felt this way.
But I didn’t see any negative status displayed by Enlightenment.
At this time, Chujiu on the side thought of something and said: "It's normal. This is because the brain has been exposed to knowledge beyond cognition."
Nan Jing didn't know why: "Huh?"
Chujiu explained: "As far as I know, all the texts we know now are derived from ancient demonic languages. The older the civilization's texts, the closer they are to the original meaning of demonic languages. And Talungu script is one of the demonic languages.
A simplified version. These mysterious symbols are not just 'shapes', the words themselves contain the 'meaning' of the power of the law. A skilled craftsman can carve out that mysterious level of meaning. Just like making cards.
'Spell' is a magical word, and it is said to be a branch of some advanced demonic language."
"oh?"
Ji Xun was also very surprised to hear this statement.
He had discovered this problem before.
Many of the symbols on the stone carvings in this secret room are obviously the same as those in the previous information.
But to the naked eye, it seems to be different.
The symbols on the stone carvings are obviously much thicker, and it seems that a symbol contains many deep meanings.
He didn't understand what was going on before, but after hearing this, he finally understood it.
Just like the paintings of some masters, the information conveyed is not only images, but also some artistic conception levels, which are indescribable.
Ji Xun was really interested in this and wanted to know more.
But Chujiu looked at the look he cast, and said regretfully: "To understand that level of knowledge, you need very high wisdom and knowledge of the law. This is studied by spell card masters of the [5 Wisdom] sequence.
I only know a little bit about this stuff."
"oh..."
Ji Xun thought about it for a while and came to a vague realization.
Even if they see the same world, everyone sees it at a different level.
But the thought drifted away, and then came back again.
How to solve the puzzle now is the top priority.
Nan Jing felt that her head was no longer enough. She clearly understood the current situation and there was probably no hope of getting out on her own.
She could only glance at Ji Xun and asked, "Mr. Ji Xun, did you find anything?"
Ji Xun also shook his head and said: "At present, it seems that the clues in this maze point to 300,000 workers from beginning to end. I can only think that there is definitely some connection between the exit of the maze and the workers, but I am currently
I don’t see what direction this connection should lead to.”
Whether judging from the spatial layout or the distribution of monsters, it is now almost certain that this secret room is the exit.
But he didn't expect the way to break the situation.
Speak out your thoughts so that the three of you can discuss it.
Chujiu thought about it and came up with his own idea: "Workers? These carvings were carved by workers. Could it be that the method to solve the puzzle is hidden in the symbols? Or maybe there are those murals outside?"
"Hmm. This is almost certainly the idea. But I haven't seen any accurate clues so far. I may need to spend a little time reading all these contents slowly."
Ji Xun's tone was very calm, and there was no hint of worry.
The most taboo thing about solving puzzles is to create unnecessary interference for yourself.
The more panicked you are, the more it will affect your judgment.
"Um."
Chujiu also nodded.
Without saying much, he raised his head and grasped the dense carvings on the stone wall tiles.
The three of them stared at the carvings in the secret room and studied them.
Ji Xun also took the lamp and carefully inspected almost every inch of the wall tiles, even the details of the wall cracks in every corner.
Time flies by unconsciously.
After about half a day, he had recorded all the symbols he saw in his mind.
But still no clues were found to break the situation.
...
The great adventurer Yuri was stuck at this point.
Ji Xun felt as if he had fallen into the same predicament.
That feeling is very bad.
It's like being in a secret room, knowing everything is under control, but missing a key.
But unfortunately, I just can’t find it.
He thought that if he couldn't find any more clues, he might have to take a risk and look at the "Hui" corridor outside.
But his intuition told him that the most important clue was definitely in this secret room.
rather than outside.
Ji Xun's current understanding and experience in solving puzzles are clueless, and it will be even harder for others to find clues.
Chujiu beside him was also deep in thought, his frown never letting go.
And it's even more obvious that this kind of complex mental activity is not suitable for a certain fat-headed psychic lady.
I've been watching it for half a day, and the mirror looks really drowsy.
But she still tried very hard to help and never stopped.
While looking at it, Nan Jing muttered: "Ah...these symbols are so complicated. They look like a maze after looking at them for a long time. It makes me feel dizzy..."
Although he was chanting very quietly, he could hear it clearly in the secret room.
"..."
I am used to it on the morning of the ninth day of the lunar month.
Ji Xun couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this.
This psychic lady has been thinking about it for a long time...
I didn't intend to pay attention to it at first.
But suddenly, just this sentence, a flash of lightning flashed through my mind.
maze, symbol?
Rumeng woke up, and he shouted softly: "I found the 'key'!"
