Chapter 171: Institution Fortress
Zhou Ping turned around suddenly. What caught his eye was a man wearing a shirt and a pair of jeans. He was carrying a bulging backpack.
“Who are you?” Zhou Ping narrowed his eyes, a little wary.
“Me?” The man smiled kindly. “Meeting me, you are lucky. I specialize in mechanical art. This kind of mechanical fortress is definitely a professional counterpart to me.”
The man stretched out his hand to Zhou Ping. “Yan Xingqing, Yan family in Hexi.”
“Zhou Ping.” Zhou Ping and Yan Xingqing shook hands.
“You are also majoring in mechanical techniques?” Yan Xingqing asked with interest.
“No.” Zhou Ping said.
“No? Then why did you choose this entrance?” Yan Xingqing looked surprised.
“I used the secret technique of the division gate, and I carefully observed it for a long time before choosing this entrance. Don’t look at this entrance which seems to be shocking, but in fact it uses the secret circumstance of the’Nine Palaces’ Key Techniques’. And this entrance is the easiest entrance to pass through among the eight entrances,” Yan Xingqing talked freely.
“Oh.” Zhou Ping was expressionless.
“Oh? Do you know how exquisite the choice of this entrance is? You really haven’t learned mechanical arts?” Yan Xingqing frowned.
“No, I just saw that there were few people here, and I chose casually.” Zhou Ping didn’t fluctuate, and he even wanted to laugh a little.
“Okay, okay, luck is also a kind of strength. However, it is still difficult to pass this entrance without strength.” Yan Xingqing was a little disappointed.
“I thought I met someone on the same path. Forget it. You are lucky to meet me. I’m a genius of mechanics! Let’s go, I’ll take you in.” Yan Xingqing looked familiar and took the lead.
Zhou Ping was noncommittal. It seemed not bad to have such a person solve the trouble for him.
Stepping into the fortress, a row of auto-sensing lights lit up, illuminating the path very brightly.
“Be careful, the mechanics are inherently unpredictable. Coupled with modern technology, it can be said that the power is very huge, and there are more changes.”
Yan Xingqing looked serious and took out a two-decimeter-long metal rod from the bulging bag behind him.
“This is my own special detector. Most of the mechanisms that use modern technology are driven by electricity. This detector can detect very weak current flows,” Yan Xingqing said, holding the detector and walking around.
“Detector? Why do I have an unreliable feeling.” Wu Jingxian was very interested at first, but after seeing the ordinary-looking metal rod, she looked disappointed.
“Let’s go. Like him, I don’t know how long it will be delayed.” Wu Jingxian shook her head and stepped out.
“Wait!” Yan Xingqing suddenly shouted.
Wu Jingxian was taken aback, half of her foot hung in the air, looking at Zhou Ping awkwardly. Zhou Ping shrugged his shoulders, his expression indifferent.
Seeing Wu Jingxian stop advancing, Yan Xingqing rushed over and took out a bunch of weird things from the backpack behind him.
After a lot of beating, the ground where Wu Jingxian was about to land was uncovered by Yan Xingqing. Under the uncovered floor, a metal piece the size of a fingernail laid quietly. Several small wires were connected to the metal sheet.
“This is the most common type of sensor in modern mechanical arts. It can feel even the slightest pressure. Do you see the few wires connected behind it? Once you step on it, it will trigger the mechanism. Modern mechanics are better than the previous ones and are much stronger. The above situation may happen at that time.” Yan Xingqing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the metal pieces.
After carefully cutting several connecting wires, Yan Xingqing just stood up.
“This is a mechanism fortress arranged by the mechanism master. Carelessness may trigger a trap. We must be careful!”
Diwu… Diwu…? Alarm, someone broke in! Alarm, someone broke in! All the mechanisms in the passage are activated immediately! All the mechanicals in the passage are activated immediately!
As soon as Yan Xingqing finished speaking, an alarm sounded fiercely.
When Zhou Ping and Wu Jingxian looked at Yan Xingqing, Yan Xingqing’s face turned red.
“Um, this is because the alarm device is connected behind the wires. Cut these wires, disrupt the current loop, and cause the alarm to sound. It is a trap set by the master of the agency, and the creative arrangement is ingenious.” Yan Xingqing looked around. He was afraid to look at Zhou Ping and Wu Jingxian.
“I think it’s more reliable for us to go on our own.” Wu Jingxian looked indifferent.
“Ohhhhh, this is just a small mistake, you have to believe me.” Yan Xingqing looked excited.
“Isn’t it just the activation of those mechanisms? The big deal is that I will crack them all. You must believe me!” Yan Xingqing jumped on the spot and saw Zhou Ping who didn’t pay attention to his meaning. With a strange cry, he quickly rushed in front of Zhou Ping and Wu Jingxian.
“Okay, I’ll let you see what I can do!” Yan Xingqing said with a look of blood on his face.
It’s like performing on stage. The first performance failed, and he definitely had to work harder to get back on the scene.
Although Zhou Ping and Wu Jingxian looked plain, in the end, they didn’t rush in. Both of them didn’t know anything about mechanical techniques and rushed in recklessly, but the final result was probably not much better.
Yan Xingqing deserved to be a self-proclaimed “genius” in mechanical art. Although he lost the act the first time, he never made any mistakes later. He recognized all the mechanisms along the way and solved them one by one.
Their speed was not too slow. That was until they stopped in front of an alloy gate. This alloy gate was five meters wide and four meters high. It’s covered with patterns, dazzling symbols. Yan Xingqing stood in front of the alloy gate for a long time, staring at the pattern on it.
“Did you crack it?” Zhou Ping asked.
Yan Xingqing did not speak, but suddenly stretched out his hand and touched it on the alloy gate. “Fortunately, fortunately, as expected…”
After touching for a while, Yan Xingqing withdrew his hand with a complicated expression.
“What are you talking about? What is okay?” Wu Jingxian looked inexplicable.
“Sure enough, I mean that the alloy gate was built using the technique of the Master. Look at the pattern on it…” Yan Xingqing pointed to the pattern on the alloy gate.
.
“Patterns? Does this pattern have any meaning?” Wu Jingxian looked at these patterns in confusion.
“These patterns can’t be seen like that,” Yan Xingqing said.
“What do you mean?” Wu Jingxian asked puzzledly.
“Stand three meters in front of this alloy gate,” Yan Xingqing said with a mysterious face.
