Hodney excitedly dug out the answer, which indeed matched Stanford's notes.
The original anxiety was swept away, and Hodney raised the notebook above his head and shouted at the Sphinx.
"It's a cat! Cat! I answered it! Hahaha!"
In fact, this riddle was very simple, and Victor figured it out after just a moment's thought. However, he was horrified to find that the sphinx's face was still approaching Hodney.
"Something's wrong..."
Sensing something strange, Victor immediately reminded Hodney: "Run!"
However, his shout was still too late, and a frightening smile suddenly appeared on the face of the sphinx, as evil as a demon crawling out of hell.
Two devil-like horns grew out of what was originally a human face, and a harsh and evil laugh came out of its mouth, mercilessly mocking the two people in front of it.
"I lied to you..."
A simple sentence, but it makes people shudder.
Then, the monster opened its mouth again and sucked forward!
Hodney was too close to it and was sucked to the monster's mouth in the blink of an eye.
He kept screaming and calling for help from Victor, who opened the scene door, sprayed out a burst of Samadhi True Fire in mid-air, and took the lead in jumping into the monster's mouth.
The penetrating power of the Samadhi True Fire was extremely terrifying. While Hodney was still struggling, it penetrated the monster's body and rushed out from the back of its head.
However, the other party is not a living creature at all, but some kind of weird thing in an unknown state. Since it is not alive, it has no fear of death and pain. This Samadhi True Fire cannot make it stop sucking.
So, in front of Victor, Hodney was sucked into the sphinx's bloody mouth, and the next second, the upper and lower jaws quickly bit down, and the prey inside was about to be crushed in an instant.
broken!
"Save me~~!"
Hodney's last cry was hoarse. Victor took a step forward to save him, but suddenly! He found himself in the mouth of the Sphinx, and was crushed by the huge force in the blink of an eye.
Already...
And where Victor was standing just now, Hodney's figure appeared. He raised his head and stared at the giant chewing thing in the darkness, with a mysterious smile on his face.
"The weight difference between us is just within the transfer range. If you gain more weight, I won't be able to take advantage of you, Mr. Victor..."
Hodney sighed softly, and then his hunched back suddenly stood up, and his eyes changed from dull and dull to bright.
While the monster was eating Victor's body, Hodney stood up, walked around it leisurely, and entered the black door.
“The folly of mankind is…never being able to learn from past failures…”
He muttered to himself proudly, and after a moment of trance, the familiar thick fog and boundless emptiness appeared before his eyes.
"It turns out that this is the feeling of the physical body entering the secret place... I believe that the knowledgeable ones also feel this way, it is so wonderful."
Hodney observed his surroundings. The fog of mental pollution kept irritating his skin. Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he had already achieved the Third Secret Transmission and completed the Ceremony of Enlightenment, so he would no longer be eroded by these dense fogs.
Glancing back at the entrance where he came from, he could see the outline of the door made of transparent material.
"So that's it." In a short period of time, Hodney had discovered the mechanism of the connection between the Black Gate and the Secret Station.
"The door is divided into two layers. The inner layer is made of secreted magic crystal, and the outer layer uses the relic that sealed the Sphinx. Presumably, that relic can also support the synchronization of the physical body and the spiritual world, and the two are combined.
Next, the physical body of the seer can enter the secret place and appear in a fixed place."
After the analysis was completed, Hodney concentrated his attention and saw the scattered things on the ground through the thick fog.
These are all items thrown in by White Crown, and among them is the thing he needs.
It's more like a garbage dump than a place where the world's secrets are stored...
Yes, the riddle of the Sphinx Gate has no answer from the beginning. The reason why the Sphinx asks intruders to guess the riddle is just to tease its prey, making people think that guessing the riddle will solve the problem.
Get the qualification to enter the Black Gate.
The real reason why White Crown chose to throw things into the black door is that they will never take things out again, nor will they allow anyone to take things out.
What is behind the door is not the connected woodland, but the thick fog of the Secret Lodge, a mysterious area that is ten thousand times more bizarre than the surrounding woodland.
This mist of spiritual pollution, if touched by a seer below level three, will immediately lead to trance.
If you don't go through the black door and want to get the things inside, you can only step into the thick fog to try your luck after falling into a dream. This is a very risky thing and the probability is extremely low. It is harder than finding a needle in a haystack.
No one knows how big the secret place is, let alone exploring it in the dense fog with extremely low visibility...it is tantamount to committing suicide.
Then the only option is to go through the black door, which is where Hodney's initial plan was aimed.
Threshold wound meeting?
Those are just his partners, he himself does not belong to that organization.
He knows what the other party's purpose is, murdering the president, abolishing prohibition, and then causing mortals around the world to fall asleep...
Hahaha, Hodney is not interested in this ridiculous "great" vision. He has only two purposes, and that is to achieve mastery and get the most important sermon!
Although it is not difficult to disguise himself and sneak into the White Crown staff, the defense methods with special mechanisms still make him feel troublesome.
Then, the assassination of the Gate Threshold Wound Society can divert more than 90% of his attention. When Mr. President is facing a threat, few people will pay attention to some trivial things inside the White Crown.
The operations in the Brass Tower and Platinum Tower were very smooth. Although the "Declaration of Freedom" was only a copy, Hodney had already made plans and preparations to enter the black door of the Crystal Tower.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Oh, by the way, when he stole the fake "Declaration of Freedom", he was almost caught by Victor, but luckily he changed his clothes
For Ebony Tower's work clothes, he successfully deceived the other party.
This made everyone think that the thief had exchanged himself with Hodney himself. Who would have thought that the latter just changed his clothes?
Back to the topic, Hodney worked hard to plan an unexpected performance in Missouri and successfully completed the enlightenment ceremony.
But later he discovered that becoming a knower was not that simple. He also needed to master a secret four and acquire the characteristics of the demigods.
Yes, "Freedom to Promote" is determined to win. If it is not in the Platinum Tower, it must be hidden in the Crystal Tower.
Hodney had already made a plan to break into the Crystal Tower, which was also related to his second purpose - the most important sermon was 100% hidden by the white crown in the black door.
Therefore, even without the Declaration of Liberty, Hodney had to enter the Black Gate.
Becoming a knower is the most important thing now, but getting that sermon is related to how far Hodney can go on the mysterious road in the future...
He has known for a long time that there is no answer to the mystery of the Black Gate. If you want to enter it, you have to get around the monster when it is not prepared. In this case, there must be a scapegoat.
The first thing he thought of was to let Zoe be the scapegoat.
But after Zoe completed her first mission, she was discovered by the Inspection Bureau, so Hodney adopted a backup plan, which was to trick Victor into his trap by following the temptation.
The Stanford notebook was fake to make Victor believe that guessing the riddle would let the Sphinx go.
For this reason, he killed Stanford in a sneak attack and replaced his heart while the other party was not paying attention. Fortunately, Stanford noticed it too late. Otherwise, if the two sides fought head-on, it would not be certain who would die.
In this way, Victor cannot verify the correctness of the riddle notes from Stanford.
And as long as Victor didn't press him, Stanford wouldn't take the initiative to tell him this in order to catch the thief.
Hodney took advantage of this information gap and sent Victor into the Sphinx's mouth as a scapegoat.
Now, he is the winner. He is standing in the thick fog of the secret residence, and he can find the two things he wants from the pile of items with peace of mind.
