Then, the Black Gate is guarded by something that looks like a sphinx. If you want to enter it, you must answer the riddles it raises accurately.
That's what Stanford meant. The monster's body was so huge that it almost blocked the black door. If you didn't lead it open, you wouldn't have a chance to step in.
Once the answer is wrong, the monster will open its mouth and suck in everything in front of it, making it difficult for trespassers to survive.
The real "Declaration of Freedom" is inside the Black Gate, and Stanford hopes to use the power of the guardian monster to get rid of the thieves.
Regarding more information about the Black Gate, Stanford was unwilling to talk to Victor.
For example, Victor once asked him: "Is there a possibility that the other party has other goals besides the Declaration of Freedom?"
Stanford kept silent. Judging from his attitude, he didn't seem to care about the overall purpose of the thief. Even if the guy was really the seer of the nocturnal phase, he would never be able to survive the sphinx and him.
Victor disagrees with such self-confidence, and he also has a hidden plan that needs to be implemented in a step-by-step manner...
This is a plan that was formulated after careful consideration, and Victor has been making adjustments based on the performance of all parties and the situation.
Compared to protecting the president on a speaking tour or catching the thief who stole the white crown, Victor valued the plan he had planned more.
This revenge plan...
After finding out the secrets in the Crystal Tower, Victor contacted Hodney alone and invited him to the Inspection Bureau for discussions.
…
"That guy at Stanford is always secretive and doesn't want to share too much with us, so I need your help..." Victor directly extended an invitation to Hodney.
Hodney didn't expect that Victor would break into the Crystal Tower rashly. At first, he complained that he was too reckless, but Victor said...
"Our informant just revealed that the person behind the theft had mentioned the Crystal Tower, so I went to the White Crown... Actually, I planned to contact you first, but the guards there became tighter.
Now, I can only sneak in."
After Hodney heard the word "informant," his eyes, which were always dull, showed rare fluctuations, and his eyeballs clearly turned in their sockets.
"Crystal Tower...well, this Crystal Tower...is really too troublesome..."
Hodney kept shaking his head and sighing, bowing even lower.
"What's wrong? What's behind that black door?" Victor asked quickly.
Hodney coughed and turned around: "Just like the information room of your Anti-Suppression Department, there are secrets hidden behind the black door, which are different from the state secrets in the Brass Tower... If the secrets in the Brass Tower are
The secret is related to Saiguo... The things in the crystal tower are related to the essence of this world, the most mysterious and dangerous things..."
Dangerous secret?
What a strange description, Victor complained in his mind.
He was not wearing a coat, leaning on the chair with his legs crossed, looking at Hodney with interest.
"So, the door is actually an independent space? The white crown stores all the really weird things inside?"
This mechanism is the same as the internal data room of the Department of Defense and Suppression, and it is also the same form as what Stanford said.
Unexpectedly, Hodney also revealed more information, and his explanation was slightly different from Stanford's.
"Yes, an independent space. Have you ever thought about why that space is independent?"
"Why?"
"Because if you defeat the Black Gate, you can directly enter the Secret Palace!"
After hearing this, Victor's eyes froze and he didn't respond for a long time.
Hodney continued: "That door is an entrance to somewhere in the secret place. If the seer can step into it, he can bring the material body into the secret place, and those truly mysterious things will be covered by the white crown."
Hidden in a secret place!”
Victor understood immediately.
In other words, this black door is made of materials rarer than the secret magic crystal, and it is essentially different from the inner data room of the Anti-Suppression Department.
The inner data room of the Anti-Suppression Department has completely opened up an independent space, but this black door takes advantage of the boundless characteristics of the spiritual world of Misu.
In the room in the Brass Tower before, the President's itinerary was also stored in the Secret Bedroom. He relied on those ladybug-like Secret Bedroom creatures to hide in all directions. He used twin entanglements to direct them to gather and disperse, and then relied on the box containing the secret magic crystal.
Dragging files in and out of secret files is a complicated but safe process.
So what is the storage mechanism of this black door?
After Victor thought for a moment, he suddenly had an idea and said to Hodney: "I thought of an idea. Since you are convinced that the thief will try to break into the black door and steal the "Declaration of Liberty", then we might as well ambush inside!
"
"?" Hodney's eyes were dull and confused, "Entering the black door to ambush? Wait a minute, what do you mean?"
"It's been so long. It turns out that Stanford guy has been led by the enemy. I suspect that the opponent has a way to bypass the 'watchdog' without being discovered by Stanford, so we must do the opposite.
If so, take the lead in hiding in the secret hotel and catch the opponent by surprise!"
Hearing this "outrageous" plan, Hodney was not excited at all. Instead, he objected: "No! Your plan is too dangerous. After Mr. Stanford finds out, he will not treat you like he did today. To be honest,
You almost destroyed our ambush and alerted the enemy. If you are so reckless next time, Mr. Stanford will definitely kill you!"
"That's why I talked to you secretly, Mr. Hodney Skimp, you yourself don't trust Stanford's ability to catch the thief, right?" Victor showed a sly smile.
Hodney was silent immediately, but after a few minutes, he objected again: "But we don't have the ability to get around the monster on the black door... I heard that you have to answer its riddle, and we don't
I don’t know how many puzzles there will be and what the answers will be..."
After hearing his explanation, Victor smiled and patted his shoulder: "Since the riddle is the lock, then the answer is the key. Since Stanford dares to cooperate with the sphinx to deal with the thief, I believe he must know the answer to the riddle.
Yes, what do you think?"
When Hodney heard this, he immediately reacted.
"Do you want me to trick Mr. Stanford?"
"You have the ability to get the key to the office of Lord Varun Galilean. Is it so difficult to trick Stanford? Is it harder to sneak into the office of the Chairman of the National Security Council or to inquire about information from the White Crown Security Department?
?”
Victor stared at Hodney meaningfully, and his look made Hodney feel uncomfortable all over.
"I...let me try..."
…
Hodney decided to give it a try, and Victor waited for his good news. Unexpectedly, he actually brought the news back the next day.
"I managed to sneak into his office and found a locked notebook in the drawer, which contains all the answers to the Black Door puzzle!"
