"No one has ever walked through... this emergency escape route..." Professor Lin's voice trembled, clearly indicating that he was not entirely confident in the safety of this route.
Afu quickly added, "However, there might be a self-destruct mechanism at the end of the secret passage, requiring you to crack the code to pass through."
Lu Zhaoming narrowed his eyes, his brain working rapidly as he analyzed the situation before him.
With the Green Serpent blocking his way outside and the White-Robed Army hot on his heels, he didn't have much time left.
He took a deep breath. "Blacksmith, get the tools ready."
"Damn it, fortune favors the bold, let's take a gamble!"
Upon hearing this, Qinglian immediately took out a small scanner from her backpack and began scanning and recording the runes on the wall.
Her fingers flew across the instrument, as if afraid of missing any detail.
As Leng Feng's assistant, she is no mere pretty face; her support-type superpower grants her memory and analytical abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people.
The blacksmith didn't hesitate and immediately pulled out various wrenches, pliers, and screwdrivers from his seemingly endless toolbox.
This guy is like a walking treasure chest; he can pull out all sorts of strange and wonderful things.
As he fiddled with his tools, he muttered, "Hey, this is the kind of exciting work I love most! Leave it to me, I'll clear the way for you!"
Without further hesitation, Lu Zhaoming pulled open the entrance to the maintenance passage.
It was a rusty iron gate, covered in dust and cobwebs, as if it hadn't been opened for decades.
He shone his flashlight inside, and it was pitch black, bottomless, like a black hole ready to devour anyone.
"Be careful, everyone," Lu Zhaoming said in a deep voice, and took the lead into the maintenance passage.
The passageway was narrower than I had imagined, barely wide enough for one person to pass through.
The walls were covered with pipes and wires, and emitted a damp, musty smell.
By the light of his flashlight, Lu Zhaoming saw faint fluorescent symbols beginning to appear on the wall.
These symbols are somewhat similar to the runes in the previous passages, but they are more complex and harder to recognize.
“Mr. Lu, these symbols…” Qinglian followed closely behind Lu Zhaoming, carefully observing the symbols on the wall. “These symbols seem to be a kind of dynamic code that changes over time.”
"Dynamic password?" Lu Zhaoming frowned; this was a bit troublesome.
He reactivated the "Doomsday Judgment System" and focused his attention on the runes on the wall.
His gaze seemed to penetrate the wall, revealing the complex structure inside the runes.
Those seemingly chaotic lines actually contain some profound rules.
"Time delay!" Lu Zhaoming shouted, activating the system's special function.
In his eyes, everything around him slowed down.
Those constantly changing symbols also slowed down the pace of change.
He was able to observe the patterns in the symbols more closely and look for any flaws.
"Damn, this thing's got something." Lu Zhaoming couldn't help but swear as he looked at the complex symbols.
He discovered that each symbol corresponded to a kind of supernatural energy fluctuation, and that there was a subtle connection between these fluctuations.
"These supernatural energy fluctuations... are a code!" Lu Zhaoming
These symbols are actually a kind of supernatural code, which can only be activated through specific supernatural energy fluctuations.
These supernatural energy fluctuations are the key to unlocking the secret passage.
"Qinglian, scan the frequency of the supernatural energy fluctuations of these symbols!" Lu Zhaoming immediately said to Qinglian.
Upon hearing this, Qinglian immediately adjusted the scanner's frequency and began scanning the symbols on the wall.
Her instruments hummed as beams of green light swept across the wall.
“Mr. Lu, the scan is complete, and data analysis is underway…” Qinglian’s voice was somewhat hurried. “These supernatural energy fluctuations have very complex frequencies, and it will take some time to decipher them.”
"Hurry up!" Lu Zhaoming urged, sensing that the white-robed troops outside were approaching.
Time passed second by second, and fine beads of sweat appeared on Lu Zhaoming's forehead.
He kept calculating the various possibilities in his mind, trying to find the correct order of the password.
Just then, the cold system notification sounded in my mind again:
【warn!
Life energy is running low; it is recommended to stop using energy-intensive skills.
"Shut up! I'm not dead yet!" Lu Zhaoming roared inwardly.
He knew that if he stopped using the system now, it would mean giving up any hope of cracking the password.
He gritted his teeth, enduring the weakness coursing through his body, and continued to analyze the symbols with complete concentration.
"Eye of Judgment!" Lu Zhaoming shouted, activating another special skill of the system.
His eyes instantly turned blood red, and his vision was greatly improved.
He can see the logical relationships between symbols more clearly and sense the changes in supernatural power fluctuations more acutely.
"Found it!" Lu Zhaoming
"Blacksmith, adjust the mechanisms in this order!" Lu Zhaoming immediately said to the blacksmith, while also telling him the correct arrangement.
Upon hearing this, the blacksmith immediately followed Lu Zhaoming's instructions and began adjusting a complex mechanical device on the wall of the secret passage.
His movements were very skillful, like those of an experienced locksmith.
With a soft "click," the blacksmith successfully adjusted the mechanism to the correct position.
"Boom!"
Immediately afterwards, a muffled sound came from deep within the secret passage.
