Chapter 1812 Shuttle Tunnel
Shangguan Hou was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect King to suddenly mention the key at this time, but he quickly came to his senses, sat up a little straight, and said, "I have some clues, please give me a little more time."
King frowned, not satisfied with Shangguan Hou's reply, "You're taking too long."
Shangguan Hou lowered his head, and no one could see the expression in his eyes for a moment. "I will get the key as soon as possible."
King glanced at him again and said, "Only people of your Shangguan clan know how to open the shuttle tunnel. After all these years, I hope you won't let me down."
"I understand." Shangguan Hou responded lightly.
King just said that and stopped looking at him, "I have some things to deal with recently, so I may not be at the base."
The people present had long been accustomed to King's occasional disappearances, so no one had any objection to this.
Soon, the meeting ended.
When Shangguan Hou was about to leave, he was stopped by King's assistant. He then took the elevator down to the underground third floor with the assistant.
The third floor below ground is the core simulation room of the base, which has more mechanisms than those outside.
King was already in the simulation room, and when Shangguan Hou came in, he was standing in front of a stone platform.
There were Sanskrit characters engraved on the surface of the stone platform, and in the middle was a Tai Chi Bagua diagram. However, the Bagua diagram was not complete, and the two grooves in the center were obviously missing a token that could match it.
King's eyes were fixed on the Bagua map, and he didn't look at Shangguan Hou who had walked to his side. "Shangguan, you haven't been in a good state recently."
Shangguan Hou also looked at the stone platform in front of him. After a while, he smiled bitterly, "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you."
King's fingers gently brushed over the words on the stone platform and said, "These are all copied by you. Apart from the people of the Shangguan clan, you are the only one who can unlock the secrets above."
Shangguan Hou curled his fingers in his pocket. He certainly understood what King meant by that. "If nothing unexpected happens, Shangguan Tong should have appeared."
A strange look flashed across King's brows.
"But I'm afraid she won't open the shuttle tunnel for us." Shangguan Hou knew Shangguan Tong very well. She was so stubborn and nothing could surpass her sense of responsibility.
"That's hard to say. Everyone has weaknesses. The fact that she was able to fake her death and reappear now means there is still a chance to pry her mouth open." King said casually.
"No, you don't know her." Shangguan Hou shook his head, "But the key to opening the shuttle channel is not with her."
"Oh?" King finally turned his head to look at Shangguan Hou, "It seems that Shangguan, you have been hiding some secrets from me for so many years."
"It was just that when I suddenly saw a person, the fog that had surrounded me for many years gradually dissipated." Shangguan Hou said slowly.
King was interested. "Who is it?"
"Shangguan Yu."
King heard the name and thought of the person quickly because it sounded familiar. "Isn't she dead?"
Shangguan Hou chuckled, but his voice was a little sarcastic, "So this is the magical thing about the Shangguan clan."
Even he himself has not yet figured out the significance of the Shangguan clan's special existence in this materialistic world.
"So you mean, Shangguan Yu is needed to open the channel?" King reacted very quickly.
"If my guess is correct." Shangguan Hou's eyes narrowed slightly, and he added: "But her current identity is the eldest daughter of the Huo family."
