Chapter 1390: Robbery (Part One)

“You don’t know? What does that mean? Don’t you just have to open them and look?” Elder Yu frowned.

“Elder Yu… There is no difference between opening both the life door and the death door. It’s just that they go to different places, one to the outside and one to where the coffin is. One leads to life and the other leads to death- choosing the wrong one means that you can’t come back,” Old Hei smiled bitterly.

“Oh, is that so?” Elder Yu blinked, “Then what are you waiting for, go solve it then!”

“That’s… It’s not something you can solve right away…” Old Hei awkwardly turned to Lin Yi and Xiaoke, “Mister Thief, Sparrow- what are your thoughts? I might not even be right either- perhaps these aren’t even the life and death doors?”

“You should be right,” Xiaoke said with a sigh as she looked at the doors, “We need to determine which is which.”

“How do we do that? They look the same?” Old Hei nodded.

“I’m guessing that the key is the two puzzles above them- most likely, they will form pictures that represent either life or death,” Xiaoke guessed.

“Meaning that we would know which one after putting them together?” Old Hei asked.

“In theory… but I feel like it’s not a guarantee that the puzzles are the solution. They might even be traps in the first place,” Xiaoke said, “If it’s supposed to be done in some sort of order and we mess it up, then it might result in terrible consequences, like permanently breaking the mechanism!”

“That serious?!” Old Hei didn’t exactly agree with the words, but with what had happened to them already, they needed to make sure everything was done properly.

“Perhaps- it’s just a guess,” She said.

“Then what do we do?” Old Hei frowned.

“First we need to find a way to copy these picture puzzles down and complete them on paper. Then we can determine which door is which,” She said after a sigh.

“Alright- let’s go with that!” Old Hei felt that was the first step in a stable direction as well.

Elder Yu wasn’t good at this stuff, so he kept silent- especially after Xiaoke talked about the dangers behind these doors. He was an Earth class, a god in the outside world- yet he had to act like a coward rat all the time in this tomb! He didn’t even dare make a sound at this point, and while that troubled him mentally, he still had no choice but to act this way.

Lin Yi didn’t bother with Xiaoke and Old Hei- he only sat down crossed leg. Although, he was not practitioning this time, and instead took out Zhang Liju’s doctor notes and flipped through them.

He wasn’t sure if he would be able to beat Elder Yu when they got out, or if Elder Yu would even have the patience for him to copy the entire thing. There were hundreds of pages, and it would take more than an hour to do it- even photocopying would take time, and with the impatient behaviouor he had been showing them so far, Lin Yi had to be prepared! He had to put his life on the line, but if he could find clues to the Fire Spirit’s fruit there’d be no reason to.

Seeing Lin Yi go through Liju’s medical notes made Elder Yu pause- he didn’t think that Lin Yi was capable to understanding what was written in it, but he couldn’t say anything to him either so he just sat down and tried to heal his wounds.

The medical notes in Lin Yi’s hands was similar to Old Lin’s- it detailed how he saved some patients, talked about recipes and also the making of medicine as well as the gathering of the ingredients. There were even notes about the nine Fu Xi needles.

Of course, he didn’t have any interest in that stuff just yet- although the Fu Xi needles did catch his attention. He needed clues about the fruit first

In the notes, there wasn’t an index and only the dates, so Lin Yi had to go through them page by page. His eyesight was powerful, and even with just the weak light from Xiaoke and Old Hei, he could make out the words.

Lingshan and Yutian couldn’t help him there, so they started practitioning. Weiwu, on the other hand, only sat beside them as if nothing had anything to do with him.

Time passed by, and in the darkness of the room, only Xiaoke and Old Hei’s voices were heard of which were mostly noises of confusion or happiness- they were experienced graverobers, but this just wasn’t their field!

The two traced down the pieces of the puzzle on paper and tore them into pieces, putting them back together in different combinations.

In Songshan, things weren’t as peaceful.

A land rover with no licence plate was quietly parked in front of a bank- if one were to pay attention, they would see that in some places of the car, the paint had been repaired. If Xiaoxiao was still conscious, she would see that the marks were the same as the ones on her land rover!

The doors to the car opened, and a man clothed in black stepped out. His body was very balanced, and gave off a familiar outline. Without saying a word, he went for the bank directly!

“Aaah!” Everyone inside began to scream as the black clothed man with a mask walked into the bank, alarming everyone around him.

But this man didn’t seem to hear them- he didn’t care what the patrons thought- he walked to the counter and smashed his arm through the glass!

The thick reinforced glass shattered from his blow, and the man jumped inside!

A piercing alarm sounded, but the man didn’t care! It was as if he didn’t hear it at all!

“Ah-!” The people who were in the bank started panicking as well.

They had seen footage of bank robberies before and had learned to prepare for it, but this was the first time they had ever seen something like this!
