C1704 the redemption of the Saint Ray
After entering the building, Maya Canter turned on her flashlight and continued to lead Xia Lei and her friends to the entrance of the basement.
When Xia Lei threw himself down at Kangtu Nana in the library, his body did not emit light anymore. Now that Maya Canter had the flashlight, there was no need to gather any more Natural energy to emit light.
In the basement, there was a mattress on the floor. There was also a bunch of random things that looked like a homeless person's house. It was messy and shabby.
"I'm in a bit of a mess here." After all, she was a woman.
Xia Lei smiled slightly. "You're welcome, Aunt Maya, I also lived in this kind of place before."
He had never lived in a place like this before, and this was only to ease the awkward atmosphere. While speaking, his gaze had already scanned the basement and found traces of a hidden door on one of the walls. However, he didn't point it out, but just knew that it was enough.
Maya Canter walked over to the spear and pressed her hand against a place on the wall. It was a fingerprint check. After checking the prints, the wall suddenly opened, revealing a passage. There was a light in the passage. It went all the way down to the ground. One couldn't see the end of it.
This seemed to be one of the reasons why Maya Canter wasn't willing to leave. If the blue moon man was here, she could easily hide in this underground tunnel and only come out after the war ended. There might even be other exits in this underground tunnel. The Kante Family had guarded a secret for more than a thousand years, treating it as the Patriarch's most important mission. How could they not have any measures to deal with this crisis?
"Come in with me." Maya Canter went into the underground passage.
Kangtu Nana looked at Xia Lei and nodded at him. Only then did Kangtu Nana follow Maja and saw him going into the underground passage. When Xia Lei went in, the wall behind him closed once again.
After walking for a full 10 minutes, they reached the end of the tunnel. A square, concrete and steel space was placed inside a huge safe. When Xia Lei first saw it, he was also shocked. This was because it was the biggest, strongest, and toughest safe he had ever seen in his life. It was at least the size of two containers. Its body was silver in color, and judging from the material's luster and visual properties, it should be the alloy used to build the engine of the spaceship. It was also the most powerful alloy that humans in this world could make.
There was no lock on the huge safe, no scanning equipment, just a palm shaped dent.
It was a strange safe.
"That's it. It weighs five hundred tons. I can't take it anywhere else." Maya Canter said: "Our family has been waiting for generations for the descendants of the Saint Ray to come here and open it, you think I want to stay here? I was chosen by my family to carry out this mission and have dedicated my life to this safe. I also want a normal life, the kind of life a woman should have, husband, children, grandchildren, I don't have any. "
Xia Lei bowed towards Maya Canter, "Aunt Maya, you are a woman worthy of respect. Your faith and your persistence are of the utmost value. "
Maya Canter's face revealed a trace of a smile, "Thank you, this is the first time someone has said this to me, I really ?" She turned away and wiped the tears from her eyes with the back of her hand.
Not her, not her belief, her long life of perseverance, no one can understand her feelings at this moment.
"Aunt Maya, what's in the box?" Kangtu Nana asked.
Maya Canter shook her head, "I don't know."
"You don't know?" Kangtu Nana looked very surprised.
Maya Canter replied: "I really don't know, but there's a story passed down in our family, and it can be said to be a secret." She organized her thoughts and continued, "This safe was left behind by the Saint Ray before the last battle. After the death of the Saint Ray, this box disappeared. My ancestors found it after all sorts of clues and tried to open it, but they couldn't. "
"Can't open it? I wonder what's in it? Yet, your family has protected it for more than a thousand years? " Kangtu Nana's tone was filled with amazement. For dozens of generations to protect a safe that could not be opened, it was something that ordinary people could not understand.
Maya Canter said: "Commander Contu, although I am not sure what is inside, but my ancestor Kante left behind some information regarding this safe, he said that this safe deposit box contains Saint Ray's salvation."
Xia Lei could no longer hold it in, "Saint Ray's salvation?"
"It could also be said to be the redemption of the entire human race." Maya Canter said: "Before the final battle left, Saint Ray told some of the important figures beside him that if he were to die in battle, his child would be able to open this chest, and give humanity one last hope."
"Why must his child open it?" Kangtu Nana asked curiously.
Maya Canter said: "Because this safe was personally made by the Saint Ray. Did you see that handprint? It's the only way to open the safe, and only the person with his genes can open it. "
"Can't you cut it open?" Kangtu Nana said.
"You can't do that. There's an explosive device in the safe, and a special item left behind by the Saint Ray. If you do that, it will explode and destroy the things inside." Maya Canter said.
"This is really troublesome ?" Kangtu Nana sighed as she thought to herself, "I need to think of a way to convince her to give this safe to the Rebel Army. Since it is the last hope of the human race left behind by the Saint Ray, then it should be left to the Rebel Army to deal with. But even if I can persuade her, without a descendant from the Saint Ray's genes, and without this safe, how can I open it? "
Just as she was thinking this, Xia Lei had already made his move. He did not care about Kante's family's mission, nor did he care about the descendants of the Saint Ray. He had a feeling that the things in this safe were extremely important and were related to that mission. Therefore, no matter what, he had to see what was inside!2
Xia Lei's eyes jumped a little as he awakened his ability to see through things. Then, he looked straight at the huge safe in front of him. At the same time, branding power flew to the top of the safe and quietly went through it.
BOOM!
A energy field suddenly awakened, immediately cutting off Xia Lei's line of sight. Even the branding power that was sent into the safe was reflected out.
The energy of the energy field was the energy of the Saint Ray. Xia Lei, who had come into contact with the remnant soul of the Saint Ray, instantly recognized it. He was also shocked by the sudden change, and said in his heart: "What exactly is Saint Ray hiding in this safe? The Saint Ray actually needs to be on guard, why must his descendants be able to open it? "
Now, he began to believe in Maya Canter's words. Only the descendant of the Saint Ray could open the safe. Gene lock, gene lock. As the name implied, a specific gene had to be satisfied before this safe could be opened.
At this time, Kangtu Nana spoke out, "Aunt Maya, I know that this is a mission that your family has followed for a thousand years, but I still ?"
"Commander Contu, stop talking." Maya Canter said: "I know that you want to advise me to give this box to you. I also want to, but my mission that has lasted for a thousand years cannot be destroyed by me. Kill me, and kill me and you can take this safe away. "
"You ?" Kangtu Nana didn't know what to say, and asked for help as she looked at Xia Lei. She felt that Xia Lei had the same thoughts as her, and he definitely had a way to solve this problem.
However, Xia Lei was still staring at the huge safe, secretly feeling a headache, and also racking his brains to guess what was inside.
"There's one other way." Maya Canter suddenly said: "I can give you guys a chance, try it, maybe you have the Saint Ray's genes on you, that way you can open this safe and take it away. And the mission that plagued our family could reasonably be ended. I don't want anyone living here like I do, sacrificing a lifetime of happiness, living here like a rat. "
No family, no friends, no lovers, no children. That kind of loneliness wasn't something anyone could bear. Maya Canter's strange temperament, her terrible living environment, and her long time of enduring loneliness were all linked.
Xia Lei regained his senses and said: "Then I'll try it out. Maybe I have the Saint Ray's genes on me too." He walked towards the gene lock on the safe and thought to himself, "My birth is so special, I might not have the Saint Ray's genes on me." If there are none, then we might as well hypnotize Aunt Maia and have her and her family end their mission. This is actually a heavy shackle for her and her family. "
Maya Canter and Kangtu Nana's gazes were focused on Xia Lei.
Xia Lei walked in front of the gene lock, lifted his right hand, and placed it into the palm print.
The gene lock didn't budge, nor did the safe.
"Hmm? Don't tell me I don't have the Saint Ray's genes on me? " Xia Lei was a little disbelieving, and then he switched to his left hand and placed it within the palm print.
The gene lock didn't budge, nor did the safe.
He tried a few more times, but to no avail.
"Looks like I can't." Xia Lei retreated, then said: "Commander Contu, try it."
Kangtu Nana followed, "Forget about me, how could I have the Saint Ray's genes?"
"You might as well try." Xia Lei said: "What if, what if there is?"
"How is this possible? How about, after driving out the blue moon man, I gathered all of the warriors here and let them try it out one by one. If it doesn't work, I will call the people of Saint Underground City here to try again, one by one. If there is a descendant left in the Saint Ray, I think someone can open this safe. " Kangtu Nana said. This was the best solution she could come up with. She didn't want it, but she had to open it.
Maya Canter said, "Commander Contu, you still have to end my mission. If you don't even want to give it a try, how are you going to convince me to let someone else try? "
"Mm ?" "Alright, I'll give it a try." Only then did Kangtu Nana walk to the safe, and put her right hand into his palm.
