The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers-Chapter 985 What???
Ji You raised her hand and yanked a handful of hair: "Mecha, humans have all sorts of tricks, especially in secret chambers that obviously hide something. It says key, but it’s actually telling you it’s a bomb! If you believe it and touch it, you’re dead for sure."
As soon as the words fell—
Little Golden Dragon had already reached over, placing the Dragon Ball on the left into the dragon’s mouth on the right.
Then—
Then, there was a click—
The door opened.
Ji You: "..."
Chu Jiaojiao and others: "..."
Little Golden Dragon spread its hands and said, "See, I told you, it’s just a key."
Ji You couldn’t believe it, but the fact that the door opened couldn’t be denied. Chu Jiaojiao looked on, scratching her head, itching to rush over and investigate: "What on earth is wrong with the designer of this chamber? If the door is so easy to open, why set a lock at all? Why not just leave it open?"
Shen Changqing lowered his head in thought, Sheng Qingyan held the energy gun, half-squinting.
Shen Changqing said, "No... it’s not that simple, look—"
Before Shen Changqing’s voice faded, they saw the originally slowly opened door, after opening, a new door appeared before Little Golden Dragon could step through.
Everyone: "..."
Ji You asked, "How many doors is this?"
Shen Changqing softly replied, "If you count the pit you fell into, this is the third door."
Ji You tilted her head, murmuring to herself: "Could this be some Nine-Nine Linked Ring Door?"
Shen Changqing thought for a while and said, "It’s possible, maybe six doors, maybe eight, maybe nine, or ten."
Little Golden Dragon hesitated and asked Ji You: "Woman, should I keep opening the doors?"
Ji You asked, "Is there a hint on it?"
Little Golden Dragon said, "Yes."
Upon hearing that, Ji You perked up: "What does it say?"
Little Golden Dragon stared at the words above the door lock and recited word by word: "It says to hold the door handle, turn it three times to the left, then push forward, and the door will open."
Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Sheng Qingyan, Shen Changqing: "..."
Little Golden Dragon asked, "So, what now?"
What should it do?
Ji You pondered for a moment, gritted her teeth, and said, "Do it!"
Upon hearing this, Little Golden Dragon didn’t hesitate for a second, directly holding the door handle, turning it three times to the left, and pushing forward.
Bang!
The door opened.
Seeing this scene, for a moment, Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, and the others were speechless, Chu Jiaojiao said, "Damn, what kind of brain-dead design is this? It’s too boring, isn’t it?"
Hearing this, Ji You solemnly said, "No—based on my years of reading novels and seeing all sorts of scenarios, I’m sure there’s some purpose here."
As she spoke, Ji You’s tone was confident, her face full of assurance, without a hint of shame. Sheng Qingyan couldn’t help but raise her eyelids, glancing at her: "Poor dead girl, I almost believed you... If your confidence wasn’t from novels, it would definitely be more convincing."
Ji You straightened her back and said, "I can also get it from movies and TV series."
Sheng Qingyan: "..."
At this moment, Little Golden Dragon interrupted them, saying, "Woman, there’s another door, uh... please be quiet for a moment, I want to be quiet."
Ji You furrowed her brow: "Another one?"
Chu Jiaojiao clicked her tongue: "Could it really be the Nine-Nine Linked Ring Door like Ji You said?"
Sheng Qingyan yawned: "So boring... If you keep pushing doors, the audience will get tired of watching."
Shen Changqing asked, "Little Golden Dragon, is there another hint on it?"
Little Golden Dragon remained silent, standing with its hands behind its back, clearly still being quiet...
A few seconds later.
Little Golden Dragon finished being quiet and said, "The door lock’s hint, just shout ’open the door’ three times."
Ji You and others: "..."
Chu Jiaojiao said, "Damn, it’s trying to trick us, isn’t it? There must be a catch to this!"
Shen Changqing also said, "I have a feeling there’s something suspicious..."
Sheng Qingyan covered her mouth, saying: "So boring, why set such boring doors and locks..."
Little Golden Dragon also felt a bit indecisive, this—
Is the door lock serious?
Or is it joking?
Open?
Or not?
Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, and Sheng Qingyan all said together, "Don’t open it for now, see if there are any other clues around."
Little Golden Dragon turned its face, only to look at Ji You, inquiring with its eyes.
Ji You thought for a moment, then decisively waved her hand: "Shout!"
In the next moment, Little Golden Dragon said, "Open the door for me!"
"Open the door for me!"
"Open the door for me!"
After three shouts, it seemed as if it was joking with Ji You and the others, the door slowly opened in response.
After the door opened, it revealed a small passageway, the width of the passage about 50 centimeters, and about 10 meters long.
Shen Changqing noticed this and softly said, "With each door opened, the passage gets narrower and shorter."
Little Golden Dragon hesitated for a moment, then stepped in.
As expected, at the end of the small passageway, there was another door. This door, a wooden door, was slightly ajar, with no lock at all, and a line of hints written on it:
[The door is open, just push it to open.]
Little Golden Dragon turned its head and asked Ji You: "Push or not?"
Ji You thought for a moment and said, "Push."
Little Golden Dragon hesitated no longer and pushed it open.
"Creak—"
The wooden door is slightly old, its patterns somewhat gray, presumably at least several decades old, opening it with a creaky sound, it opened.
Little Golden Dragon stood still.
Inside the door, glancing quickly, apart from the closed alloy walls around, there was only a path leading forward, different from before. It was paved with small stones and sand, Little Golden Dragon bent down, picked up a small handful of stones and sand to observe, then said: "Woman, these stones and sand are nothing special, they are the original ore and dirt from Bee Head Star."
Ji You said, "Is this the sixth door?"
Little Golden Dragon replied sternly, "Yes."
Ji You asked, "Any hints?"
Little Golden Dragon said, "Please knock on the door three times."
Ji You stood outside the first door, slowly pacing in a circle, feeling slightly irritated inside, but outwardly remaining calm, composed, showing no sign of tension or panic.
Although the path forward became increasingly smooth, Ji You felt the pressure mounting in her heart. It wasn’t just Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, and Sheng Qingyan also felt no reduction in pressure on their minds.
The four of them exchanged glances and, in the end, all focused their gazes on Ji You. Shen Changqing gently said, "What to do depends on you, Ayan, Jiaojiao, and I will all listen to you."
Ji You raised her head, looking from one door to the next, finally falling on Little Golden Dragon, which had become a tiny dot due to the increasing distance. Little Golden Dragon also turned around, meeting Ji You’s gaze silently: "Woman?"
