Ye Ling looked at the flickering energy field of the mecha and her heart tightened.
It feels like a game with cheats suddenly freezes, which is very frustrating.
This is no joke. What if this precious gem suddenly goes on strike? Wouldn't she be demoted from Queen to Bronze?
She took a deep breath, her eyes as firm as steel.
The dense alien characters on the surrounding walls were twisted like ghostly scribbles, making people's scalps numb.
This is not a relic, it is clearly a large escape room scene!
Duan Yu leaned against a stone pillar beside him, his face pale and beads of sweat on his forehead.
He looked so weak, like a wounded little animal, which made Ye Ling feel distressed.
This guy took on several waves of attacks just to protect her. What a fool!
No, she must crack the damn code as soon as possible and take him out!
"What kind of a code is this thing?" Ye Ling scratched her hair in annoyance, feeling like her brain cells were about to burn out.
At this moment, Li Qing sent an encrypted message, which turned out to be a key clue after decryption!
"Great! It seems like God is helping me!" Ye Ling clenched his fists excitedly and immediately began to compare the words on the wall.
"Hey, isn't this our great hero Ye Ling? Why are you scratching your head over these heavenly books? Can't you solve them?"
A sarcastic voice came, and Ye Ling knew who it was without turning around—Evelin, the lingering green tea bitch!
Now she just wanted to throw this white lotus into the energy vortex of the ruins and let her feel what it meant to truly "take off".
"It's none of your business!" Ye Ling retorted without even raising his head, his hands moving non-stop, afraid of missing any details.
Evelin smiled contemptuously, walked to Ye Ling, and said hypocritically, "Hey, don't be so irritable, be careful not to get angry and hurt yourself. Do you want me to help you? After all, I'm very good at cracking passwords~"
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand with bright red nail polish, pretending to touch the part of the clues that Ye Ling had pieced together.
Ye Ling was quick-witted and grabbed her wrist, her eyes as sharp as a knife: "Don't! Touch! It!" Evelin's wrist was firmly clamped by Ye Ling. She grimaced in pain, but still pretended to be calm: "Ouch, you hurt me! I just want to help you, why are you so fierce?"
Ye Ling sneered, and increased the strength of her hands. Her tone was as cold as ice: "Help me? I think you want to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble? Don't think I don't know your little tricks! If you really want to help, stay away from me and don't get in my way!"
Evelin's face turned pale and blue, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it and replaced it with an aggrieved expression: "Ye Ling, how can you say that to me? I mean well..."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Ye Ling interrupted her mercilessly. "Your tricks may be enough to fool a three-year-old child, but in front of me, you'd better put away your hypocritical face!" After that, she suddenly shook off Evelin's hand and threw her aside like garbage.
Evelin staggered a few steps and almost fell, glaring at Ye Ling in anger, but she didn't dare to step forward to provoke her again.
She knew that Ye Ling was not someone to be trifled with, and if she angered her, the consequences would be disastrous.
Seeing this, the people around couldn’t help but whisper, looking at Evelin with eyes full of contempt.
Evelin felt her face burning, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Ye Ling was too lazy to pay attention to her and focused her attention on the password again.
With the clues provided by Li Qing, she quickly found the key.
Her fingers flew as she quickly input a string of complex characters on the console. As the last character was entered, the alien text on the wall suddenly emitted a dazzling light, then slowly rotated, and finally combined into a strange pattern.
"It's done!" Ye Ling shouted excitedly, with a confident smile on her face.
At this moment, she suddenly felt Duan Yu's fingers tremble slightly.
She quickly turned her head and saw that Duan Yu's face was even paler, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his lips had lost their color.
"Duan Yu, what's wrong with you?" Ye Ling was anxious and hurried to support him.
Duan Yu smiled weakly and wanted to speak, but no sound came out.
The air around seemed to freeze, and an oppressive atmosphere enveloped the entire ruins.
Ye Ling held Duan Yu's hand tightly, her palms full of sweat.
"Duan Yu..." She choked with sobs.
"I..." Duan Yu opened his mouth with difficulty, "I'm fine..."
Duan Yu leaned weakly against the stone pillar and forced a smile: "Don't worry." These few short words were like a warm current flowing into Ye Ling's heart, relaxing her originally tense nerves a little.
Their eyes met, and without words, trust and dependence spread silently in the air.
The flickering energy field around them seemed to have sensed this warmth as well. The light was soft and danced lightly like a firefly, enveloping the two of them in a dreamy halo.
"With the clues given by Li Qing, cracking the code is no big deal!" Ye Ling raised the corner of his mouth with a confident arc, and his fingers danced rapidly on the operating table, like a pianist playing an exciting piece of music.
Complex characters danced on her fingertips like jumping notes, eventually forming a perfect melody.
"Done!" As the last character was input, the console issued a crisp prompt sound, and the alien characters on the wall stopped rotating and combined into a clear pattern.
Ye Ling clenched her fists excitedly, with a gleam of victory in her eyes.
Li Qing's voice came from the communicator: "Congratulations, Ye Ling! You succeeded!" His tone was full of joy and appreciation, as if he had personally experienced this thrilling puzzle-solving journey.
Ye Ling's success is not only a recognition of her own abilities, but also the best reward for their teamwork.
However, just as Ye Ling was immersed in joy, she suddenly noticed a new symbol appearing in the center of the pattern, a symbol that she had never seen before and was full of mystery.
It is like a ghost hidden in the fog, exuding a strange aura.
"What is this..." Ye Ling frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy.
The appearance of this symbol seems to indicate that new challenges are coming.
"Wait, this symbol..." Li Qing's voice also became solemn, "I seem to have seen it somewhere..."
