Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 1211: Chapter 1210: Digging Up the Grave?

Xia Xi lowered his head, dropped his voice, and said, "I’ve already dug this fire bag open before..."

"..." Gu Tong raised an eyebrow. "You dug up a grave?"

"Not just me, a lot of people have dug it up." Xia Xi bent down a bit, voice even lower, and said, "The inside is sealed. On top there’s a door made of some special material, and on it there’s a diagram with hidden holes—that’s the picture I showed you this afternoon.

I originally wanted to destroy that door. Since it’s a fire bag, just burn it, or use a power drill or something. But the old man said, don’t dismantle it by force, or the treasure inside will just blow itself up."

"..." Damn! Does he have to screw people over this hard...

No wonder so many people have been watching this place and racking their brains, but still can’t find the treasure.

Turns out the old man kept a trump card. This backhand move really is hard to crack.

"That door with the holes in it has nothing to do with the Gate Escape Armor either?"

"Shouldn’t have anything to do with it."

Gu Tong tried to recall the picture from the afternoon, but she also felt it didn’t look like an Array, because it was arranged left and right like a door, one part on the left, one on the right, with a gap in the middle.

Different from the characteristics of the Gate Escape Armor, even if you just set up the framework you could still tell its original structure.

This one was all holes, the patterns opened on both sides, like some kind of divine riddle.

Gu Tong lowered her voice and said, "Have you checked all the graves on the left and right?"

Since it was something the old man left behind, it definitely wouldn’t just be a single grave. Gu Tong felt that didn’t fit his style; even a wily rabbit has three burrows, let alone an old man that smart.

The graves on the left and right were definitely connected somehow.

Xia Xi thought for a moment, then pointed to the left. "This side has names. On the right they’re all nameless tombstones. But the names on these graves are all really weird."

Weird?

Heh, then that fits!

The old man deliberately set up this game, playing at mystery; there had to be some method to crack it.

Otherwise, no matter how much you rack your brains, you’d probably be completely stuck.

Thinking of this, Gu Tong stopped dawdling and went straight to search the graves on the left.

There were seven graves with inscriptions in front. Counting the fire bag grave, that made eight.

Gu Tong paused beside the first inscribed tombstone and lifted her flashlight to shine on it.

Under the faint light, the characters emerged.

"’Cloth Not Hard!’"

"..." What kind of name is that...

Seriously, does it have to be this weird...

Gu Tong didn’t drag it out and immediately looked at the second one.

"’Corpse Together!’"

"..." One after another, are they all planning to jump out of the coffin or what—these names are god-tier bizarre...

Third one!

"’Heaven Blows!’"

"..." Fine, at least it’s a bit better than the first two.

Fourth!

"’Scold No Mouth!’"

"..." No mouth left to scold with, and you’re still scolding—what exactly are you trying to do...

Fifth!

"’Stone Skin!’"

Sixth!

"’Head Its Charge!’"

Seventh!

"’Two Big!’"

This...

What the hell are these names.

Gu Tong was about to cough up blood. These names don’t connect anywhere with anything, do they.

Just what kind of setup did the old man arrange here? An ordinary person would be scared stiff just seeing this and run for it. Even a brave and clever person would feel like they’d walked into a maze, totally unable to figure out what these names really meant.

No wonder this has gone unsolved for so many years!

Xia Xi crawled over and muttered under his breath, "Is there some kind of link between these names?"

Gu Tong raised an eyebrow. "You noticed it?"

In theory, there should be.

It’s just that exactly where the problem lies, who’s connected to whom, still needs careful study to make it clear.

Xia Xi stuck out his tongue and said, "I can tell there’s something off. As for what exactly is off, that’s your job~"

"..." Thanks a lot for dumping such an important job on me!
