"As expected!" Xu Xiaolin's eyes lit up. "How could a method of immortality with only clues help the First Emperor two thousand years ago?"
"So there must be only three doors! It's perfectly normal that the scene behind the third door is different from the first two. We're already nearing the end, so there's naturally no danger!"
Some people couldn't help but applaud, and the applause became louder and louder, until it became continuous.
Everyone sighed in their hearts, is this what it feels like to have someone help you think?
Fortunately, these outsiders don't have to take action, otherwise just knowing the detailed life and thinking habits of a Chinese emperor would be enough to screen out most people.
Knowing a little and being familiar with something are two different concepts.
Xu Xiaolin's eyes sparkled: "Captain, what do you think?"
Gao Chen supported his chin and thought, then agreed: "I agree with you, there are indeed three gates."
Even Gao Chen thought so, so Ning Tao completely gave up his idea.
It seems that I really guessed wrong.
"But I also support Ning Tao's idea. There are still challenges behind the third door."
He turned his attention to the piles of pottery and bronze artifacts.
"This is where the test is, so the door to progress never appears."
"Just because we've reached the end doesn't mean there won't be any more tests. The first door tests our identity. The person behind it needs to be a transcendent, or at least someone with a transcendent physique."
"The second gate tests our combat prowess, the Extraordinary Forest tests the average strength of each of us, and the Two-legged Dragon tests the top strength of our team."
"As for the traps along the way, they are likely intended to test our cautious approach during a prolonged crisis."
This type of ancient mechanism filled with mortise and tenon joints was the biggest challenge faced by the ancients in the excavation of other imperial tombs.
Gao Chen even suspected that the frequent traps were not only to test their reaction ability, but also simply to vent their anger at people entering their ancestral graves.
Even though they were forced to come in...
Gao Chen temporarily put aside this emotional possibility and concluded:
“So there won’t be a place where there’s no use.”
Although the tomb chamber for storing burial objects did serve a purpose, it was for the tomb owner and did not have any meaning for outsiders like them.
Xu Xiaolin tilted her head in confusion.
"But Captain, according to what you said, we have encountered a complete range of challenges along the way. There is no other place that needs to be investigated."
"Qualifications, abilities, endurance, details...we passed them all!"
Gao Chen said calmly: "No, there is one thing that has not been tested yet."
Ning Tao reacted and answered quickly: "Human heart!"
Gao Chen gave him an approving look.
That’s right, human heart.
Although their team was not united to begin with, and to be more serious, it could be said to be a mess.
But this has nothing to do with the people behind the scenes, it is the influence of the forces behind them.
What kind of human heart do the people behind the scenes want to see?
What he saw and heard along the way told him that the relationship between the person behind the scenes and the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor was not just a random test site, but a real and close connection!
The only thing Gao Chen could think of was to do something with the antiques in the room.
The "human heart" they want to see is probably on these antique vessels.
Looking around the room again, Xu Xiaolin was even more confused.
"Is the person behind this afraid that we will steal the antiques?"
There was a sneer from the audience.
"Who would be interested in a pile of junk?"
After coming in, Yamazaki Seiichiro's gaze stayed on the antiques for longer than he observed the three extraordinary people affiliated with the Chinese government.
A pile of foreign antiques of unknown origin.
Even if they successfully left the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, left the foggy area, and even avoided the search by the Chinese customs, and brought the antiques back to their own country, they still couldn't convert them into cash!
Antiques have unique anti-counterfeiting marks. The Chinese people present must have registered these antiques as soon as they left, and described their appearance and characteristics clearly.
They can't find any loopholes.
What's more, at their level, they became extraordinary people when the big trend came, and ordinary money could no longer move their hearts.
Yamazaki Seiichiro gave a mocking smile: "Don't joke, Chen-san, we are not interested in these things!"
There were echoes from the crowd.
"Yes, the craftsmanship from two thousand years ago is too crude. How can it compare to the treasures of our country!"
"That's right, it's just a toy made of mud and impure copper. Our antiques are all gold and gems. They are full of value no matter what era they are from!"
Xu Xiaolin was so angry that she laughed.
"You don't even know if any of your countries existed two thousand years ago, yet you're still dreaming of owning the technology to mine gold and gemstones?"
Although she knew that the other party wanted to clear herself of suspicion, she was very unhappy with this attitude.
Ning Tao looked at everyone indifferently.
"I don't know why major museums have collected hundreds and thousands of our cultural relics."
He was furious when he thought about how the faucets in the fountains of the Summer Palace had been removed and taken away!
Gao Chen didn't say anything, and his expression turned a little colder.
Seiichiro Yamazaki already knew the other party's possible attitude and was very calm about it.
Given the disparity in strength between the enemy and us, he temporarily filtered out the sarcasm with his ears and then spoke.
"Anyway, we really don't care about the antiques in the corner. Isn't this what the people behind the scenes want to see? Why won't they let us move on?"
Gao Chen carefully looked at everyone's expression.
The micro-expression psychology he studied told him that what Yamazaki Seiichiro said was true. No one present really cared about taking away the antiques whose value could not be transferred.
So what's the problem?
Is there something they haven't noticed?
He even looked inside the containers of all the antiques in the corners, trying to find new discoveries.
Unfortunately, there was nothing inside except dust.
The delay was too long, and some of the people whose movements were restricted began to doze off.
After walking all the way, their energy has been exhausted. Their bodies can still walk, but their brains are very tired.
Anyway, there were "hard workers" who volunteered to investigate, and these people simply ignored the fact that the place they were in was not safe and closed their eyes.
Ning Tao didn't want to watch a group of lazy people, so he simply handed over all the soft surveillance work to Xu Xiaolin and devoted himself to the antiques in the corner.
Unlike Gao Chen, he was stunned as soon as he touched a bronze wine jug that was more than 30 centimeters long.
Gao Chen turned around in surprise: "Did you find anything?"
He glanced at the tall, slender bronze flagon.
He had examined the wine jug and found nothing unusual. The mouth of the jug was so small that it could only hold liquid and had almost no capacity to hold other objects.
The test results were exactly the same as he expected.
Did I overlook something?
