We rushed to the door and found that it had closed itself shut.

I froze for a moment, and then I heard the creaking of chains coming from inside.

Is this some kind of secret agency?!

In my memory, Lan Jia didn't have this kind of skill when he first met us. Could it be that he learned this kind of mechanical skill from somewhere?

Or were they deliberately left here to frame us?

I sighed deeply and remarked, "That kid is really cunning."

I quickly took two steps forward and grabbed the doorknob. When my hand touched the metal, I suddenly felt a bone-chilling coldness, which made me involuntarily pull my hand back immediately.

This temperature doesn't even feel like the boundary between shallow and deep water; it's more like the kind of temperature we encountered in the deep sea before.

The things in the deep sea were not only extremely cold, but they also had a certain backlash effect on my body.

I think this is probably due to the inherent properties of those objects themselves. For example, the sea marrow we saw before was an excellent product.

When I touched this thing, I could clearly feel waves of warmth, and my body felt as if it was being given some energy.

But when I pulled on the handle and gave it a hard tug, I found that the door simply wouldn't open!

The sound of the mechanisms and chains inside was still coming slowly, and I immediately felt the coldness coming from my palms.

If I had known, Yiyi and I would have hesitated a little longer before coming in. Even if we couldn't find the blue-armored people, it would have been better than being trapped here!

I deeply regret it; it's like killing someone behind closed doors now.

If that guy really had any ill intentions towards me, I reckon I wouldn't even need to wait for anything else; he could just swagger in right now and I'd be done for.

This is his territory, so it's perfectly normal for him to set up some traps and mechanisms here.

However, since we couldn't figure out the mechanisms and tricks of the Blue Armor, I found this problem somewhat tricky when it was presented to us.

I quickly grabbed my flashlight and carefully examined the iron gate. The handle and the texture on it were completely different from when we came in.

The texture has become very strange, and I noticed that the handle seems to be rusted!

The rust on it looks like it took many years to form.

But I remember clearly that when we came in, it was brand new.

Even the last time I came here, this door wasn't an iron door, it was a wooden door!

Such rapid changes...

Just as I was hesitating, I suddenly noticed a red button switch in the corner illuminated by the flashlight.

It's like the button with a similar shape to the accelerator on that hovercar I saw before.

This thing is the only one that looks slightly new.

I suspect this was very likely prepared specifically for us by the Blue Armor.

If that's the case, then he's planned everything too perfectly, calculating with incredible precision that we obtained the sea marrow from Boss He.

No, to be precise, they got these things from the Riverside Hotel.

Another possibility is that we can get back through that alley and send that strange guy in the green clothes there to wait for us to board the car and deliver the message.

He even calculated precisely that we would definitely come to his sunken compass house and set up our plans there.

Blue Armor is thinking way too much and too precisely!

My mind was completely in a mess at that moment.

Without further hesitation, I pressed the switch with skepticism, yet with no other choice but to trust.

If he doesn't want us to die, this should be the only way out.

Such traps are usually designed with an escape route, but it seems there's no way to escape from this area.

All I can do is gamble that this button is my only hope.

But as soon as the button was pressed, an even more dazzling white light, brighter than the flashlight, instantly illuminated the entire stone house.

Caught completely off guard, Yiyi and I were blinded by the white light and had to retreat repeatedly. For a moment, everything in front of me was white.

It was just like the white light we encountered before, except this time the white light was fleeting and immediately turned into normal light.

Only then did I get a better look at it and realize that the walls around this compass chamber were slowly moving!

Holy crap...

My worldview has been shaken; this house is now like a Rubik's Cube!

Yiyi almost lost her footing and stumbled before regaining her balance.

I looked around and noticed that the wall that was closest to the door was now being pushed inwards, as if someone was pushing it from the outside. This was simply impossible!

Meanwhile, the wall opposite the door kept shrinking back.

Even the stone bricks on the ground are quietly changing positions, moving little by little.

And those branches that I kicked away earlier, at this moment, seemed to have come to life, falling to the floor in unison and arranging themselves into a square formation.

Soon, these things were pieced together to form a strange S-shaped pattern.

It looks like a formation.

However, I don't understand this style at all; it's somewhat like the kind used in ancient Western rituals.

Even more strangely, as these walls moved, a series of intermittent sounds drifted over...

I listened carefully, and it was definitely not a modern tune, but rather sounded like it was being played on some kind of ancient instrument.
