C802 Broken Mechanism
After knowing each other's identity, Qin Loong and Qi Qi basically let their guard down, and the two of them unceasingly used words to exchange detailed information.
After their conversation, they finally confirmed that the other party was Qi Qi and Qin Loong.
However, even though they were able to avoid killing each other, a new question came up, "How do we remove the shell of Qi Qi the Wooden Puppet Man next, as well as how do we escape from here?"
Qin Loong thought about it, his understanding of the puppet mechanisms should be much stronger than his own understanding of himself, so he used words to ask Qi Qi: "With my strength, do you think that I can forcefully break your wooden puppet shell without harming you?"
Letting Qi Qi out of the wooden shell was the first thing she had to do.
It was hard to say if the other things she saw in the wooden shell would be distorted, so she couldn't be sure if the trap she saw was real or not.
If she was the one facing the wooden shell first, then she did not need to worry about Qi Qi being in danger, since Gong Shuban wanted to take her as a disciple, but if she used it to observe whether or not she could break the mechanism, it would be hard to say if she could lure them into another trap.
"I think it's very difficult. Before you came here, I tried to install a miniature nuclear explosion device on the exterior of the shell, but the end result was that the exterior of the shell was blown black. Not long after that, even the charred shell automatically recovered."
Qi Qi quickly used spirit energy to write in the air, and then shrugged her shoulders, expressing her helplessness.
"Can't even destroy a nuclear explosion? This is going to be troublesome. "
Qin Loong had witnessed the power of Qi Qi's tools before. Even if he could exceed the power of the miniature nuclear explosion with all his might, that would be too dangerous.
"Right!"
Qin Loong thought about the trap they had fallen into, and suddenly thought in a reverse direction: "Maybe this trap was formed intentionally to create this kind of situation, and the reason to maintain the defensive power of this shell, was probably because of this space. In that case, why does this seemingly normal shell have such a defensive power, it makes sense."
The more Qin Loong thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. He quickly used words to communicate his thoughts to Qi Qi.
"So what's next?"
Qin Loong wrote: "First observe your surroundings to see if there are any clues that can remove the mechanism, then I will confirm."
Actually, Qin Loong had already thought of this idea from the beginning.
However, this method was actually quite risky.
Since it was possible for Gong Shuban to create such a situation by setting up this trap, it would be too easy for Gong Shuban to do anything about it.
For example, setting up a mechanism that was difficult to describe with words, twisting the mechanism into something else meaning when Qi Qi saw the words that mentioned it, or simply making Qi Qi not be able to see any clues regarding the mechanism at all.
However, when Qi Qi saw through the arrangements of a few mechanisms, she tried to communicate with Qin Loong, but nothing seemed to be amiss.
"Perhaps it's because of my bet with me, so the old man withdrew his dangerous plans."
Qi Qi guessed this and then wrote it down for Qin Loong to see.
Qin Loong nodded, and felt that it should be true.
After they communicated for a bit longer, they finally made up their minds. Qin Loong listened to Qi Qi's command and started attempting to remove the mechanism.
Qin Loong followed Qi Qi's instructions, and knocked on the east side, then pressed on the west side, stepping on the south side, and then shot some Spirit Qi into the north side.
After nearly five more minutes, there was finally movement.
The entire sealed space began to tremble, and then a ray of light appeared in the darkness to the south.
A door opened.
Qin Loong once again channeled his spirit energy and walked in front.
Qi Qi carried the wooden shell and walked behind.2
When Qi Qi stepped out of the door, the wood person's shell on her body started to creak and emit a few sounds. Then, it transformed into countless ordinary wood pieces, and fell off her body.
"Wow, it's really like that! I'm so stifled that I'm about to die. You can't hear me when I speak, nor can you when I'm speaking. It's like I'm deaf and mute. That old man is really wicked …"
It was probably because he had been holding it in for too long, that when Qi Qi came out, he started chattering non-stop.
"Qi Qi, let's not talk about all this. It seems like we are still in the hall."
Qin Loong looked around and was shocked to find that although he was clearly wrapped up by an extended wall and wooden door in the front yard, he seemed to have entered the front hall.
"It's fine, it's fine. The little traps in these mansions won't be a problem for me."
Qi Qi said happily. After walking around, she moved a few vases on the table and knocked on the door a few times. Then, with a "Zi la" sound, the door automatically opened.
"Seems like you can easily deal with these traps. Why don't you just directly leave?"
Seeing Qi Qi's relaxed appearance, Qin Loong could not help but to ask.
Qi Qi shrugged her shoulders: "All the mechanisms and traps in this house are different, but most of the times, I can see how to remove them, but this so called" human type mechanism room "isn't just a house, it's also made up of countless other houses, it's like a maze, I still don't have any idea how to get out."
However, Qi Qi immediately changed the topic and said: "But Qin Loong, now that you have come, there is no problem. With you assisting me, I can remove the mechanism of this room, and it will be just around the corner."
"Didn't you just say that you have no clue on how to exit this maze? Why would I be able to break through the mechanism when I'm here? I am completely clueless about these golem arts. "
The more Qin Loong heard, the more he was puzzled.
"What I said just now was that I don't have a clue."
Qi Qi shook her head and laughed: "But if you are going to break the mechanism, it will be much simpler in terms of technique. It's just like the difference between master lock picking and breaking a lock."
"Are you talking about forcefully breaking the mechanism? "I tried it earlier. It seems that with my current strength, I am not completely confident."
Qin Loong spoke the truth.
"That's because you don't know how to use mechanisms."
Qi Qi said confidently, "If you can't smash the lock, but if you know the structure of the lock, you will know that as long as a drop of strong sulfuric acid is poured into the eye of the lock, then it would be easy for the lock to be opened."
Hearing Qi Qi's analogy, Qin Loong instantly understood what Qi Qi meant.
However, before he made his move with Qi Qi, he first said: "Qi Qi, before we make our move, I have something to tell you."
Qin Loong and Qi Qi began to whisper in each other's ears.
