706: Chapter 695 Blurred 706: Chapter 695 Blurred Song Yun walked leisurely in the middle of the group, aware that this bunch must have some ulterior motives.
He had followed them thus far; either he would accompany them to their destination,
or they would try to ditch him by leading him out of these mountains.
Either way, Song Yun wasn’t concerned; his navigational skills were quite formidable.
If he really could find his way out, then it wouldn’t be hard to come back later and take Li Shishi with him.
Ten minutes into the walk, they entered another mountain cave, which appeared much more secluded than the ones Song Yun had seen before, and it was evident that it had been modified by human hands.
“Are you sure you want to come with us?” Zhou Guang asked with a smile.
“Of course,” Song Yun replied proudly.
“If this place were to be used as a bunker or stronghold, that would be quite dangerous.
I have to follow all the way; who knows if this area might be taken note of?”
“Haha, then suit yourself, but I hope you won’t make trouble for us,” Zhou Guang said as he quickened his pace and walked up beside Yamamoto Goro, whispering something to him.
Not even five minutes into the cave, a slide-like structure suddenly appeared ahead.
“Jump on it.
We need a 1-minute gap between each person, otherwise, the slide won’t hold up!” Yamamoto Goro leapt onto the slide first, sliding downward before Zhou Guang, Ghost King, and Divine Calculator followed suit.
Song Yun knew these people intended to shake him off.
Since that was the case, if he slid down immediately and they noticed him, they would surely try to ditch him again or deliberately mislead him.
It would be better to wait until they thought they had lost him, and then he could go down.
That way, following them quietly from behind would be much easier.
At the end of the slide, Yamamoto Goro said triumphantly, “There are five branches off this slide; I don’t believe he can find us!
Hahaha, we’ve finally shaken him off; otherwise, it would have been troublesome.”
“Hehe, thank goodness Mr.
Yamamoto prepared thoroughly; otherwise, we wouldn’t have known to take the right-hand path,” Zhou Guang said, chuckling.
“Hehe, there were hints on the map,” Yamamoto Goro shook his head and added, “Let’s wait two more minutes.
If he doesn’t come down, he has certainly gone somewhere else, and we can proceed without worry.
But if he does turn up, there is a trap at the next spot, just as able to deal with him.”
“Good!”
After waiting two minutes and still not seeing Song Yun, Yamamoto Goro said proudly, “Let’s go; it’s impossible for him to catch up now.”
Shortly after Yamamoto Goro and the others departed, Song Yun appeared at the end of the slide.
“Damn, there are several branching paths!” Song Yun recalled the scene he had just witnessed with some trepidation, for the slide down had not been fast, but after sliding for a while, there were several paths to choose from.
If it weren’t for the faint sound of someone landing in one of the branches, he might have chosen the wrong one.
Song Yun softened his footsteps and ran forward a short distance, and indeed, about fifty meters ahead, he saw Zhou Guang and his companions.
Zhou Guang and his group were especially careful, and when they reached a paved stone path that clearly was man-made, they hopped on and off in a particular pattern across the tiles and successfully made it across.
Song Yun memorized their method of crossing the stone path and waited until they had moved on before approaching the start of the path.
“Damn, there are traps too!” Song Yun looked at the stone path and, following the method he had remembered, crossed it with some close calls.
He also memorized several other mechanisms that were encountered along the way, just as had been done by the group ahead.
After roughly half an hour, by the looks of it, Yamamoto Goro and his team had reached the endpoint.
Song Yun gazed in surprise at the stone door about two meters high not far away, wondering why such a thing existed in this place.
Could it be that there really was some treasure buried here?
Song Yun hid behind a rock, observing Yamamoto Goro and his companions.
They didn’t seem to be doing anything else when Yamamoto Goro inserted a key-like object into a hole, turned it, and the stone door opened, revealing a stone slab inside.
The slab had some kind of writing on it.
Song Yun was too far away to see clearly, but he could see Yamamoto Goro take out a notebook and start scribbling away and then heard him exclaim, “This is it, no doubt!”
“Great!
Mr.
Yamamoto, please hurry with the calculations.
I’ve heard that ten minutes after someone looks at this, the place will collapse.
Let’s aim to get this done in five minutes!” Ghost King said excitedly.
“Mhm!
Wait!” Yamamoto Goro wrote attentively in his notebook; Song Yun was genuinely curious about what he was writing.
He stealthily crawled along the uneven wall to an outcropping and peered down at them.
Squinting, Song Yun glanced at the notebook beside Yamamoto Goro and saw a page full of complex equations.
Then he watched as Yamamoto Goro put down his pen and declared, “I’ve deduced it—this is the general solution for all the equations above.
With this, any equation on anything can be derived, hahaha!”
“Quick, to prevent any mishaps, take a photo!” Ghost King instructed.
“Alright!” Yamamoto Goro placed his notebook beside the aforementioned stone slab, then turned to rummage through his backpack.
Song Yun seized the moment; he whipped out his domestically made smartphone, boasted to have several million pixels, and took a photo of the paper.
Then while everyone’s attention was on Yamamoto Goro, he discreetly adjusted his underwear to conjure some moisture and flicked a series of droplets onto the paper.
Some of the letters blurred immediately, becoming indecipherable.
Then, Song Yun drifted away.
Yamamoto Goro took two SLR cameras out of his bag and handed them to Zhou Guang and Ghost King.
“Take your own pictures.
Remember, include that stone slab as well.
I only have the latter half of the equation; the slab has the first half!”
“Mhm!” Li Xu and Ghost King each took a camera, photographed both the notebook and the stone slab, and after checking the clarity of the photos, they contentedly removed the memory cards from the cameras and tossed the devices aside.
