Quick Wear: Passerby A's Counterattack Revised Plot
Chapter 200 World 3: Finding the Secret Under the Light 18
They carefully searched every corner of the library and finally found Yan Ziwen behind a bookshelf full of ancient books. He was lying on the ground with several overturned books scattered around him. His face was pale and he was obviously injured.
"Yan Ziwen! What's wrong with you?" Shi Qi hurried forward to help him up.
Yan Ziwen forced a smile: "It's okay, I just ran into a little trouble."
Han Lin quickly checked his wound and found it was not serious, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, it's just some superficial injuries. What happened to you? How did you get hurt?"
Yan Ziwen took a few breaths and said slowly: "I found an important clue about the mastermind. It turns out that he has been looking for a legendary treasure. This treasure is said to have the power to control people's hearts. He plans to use this treasure to control the palace and then the entire country."
Han Lin was moved when he heard this: "Could it be that the 'treasure' they are talking about is the key?"
"A 'treasure' can control an entire country? Is it so hasty? You all know magic or fighting spirit, but what kind of 'treasure' can control so many people? To be honest, I'm quite curious." Shi Qi complained.
"Besides, where are we now? When we came in, we saw 'Men in Black'. When we turned around, we saw 'Men in Black' again. We have entered their lair, right? Where are all the palace guards? Is this still the palace?"
Although Shi Qi's words were full of ridicule and confusion, Yan Ziwen nodded solemnly.
"Shi Qi, you don't know. This treasure is not an ordinary thing. It is called the 'Scepter of the Mind' and is said to contain ancient and powerful magical power. Once it falls into the hands of someone with evil intentions, it may indeed cause immeasurable consequences." Yan Ziwen explained with a hint of worry in his tone.
Shi Qi said: "Mind... Staff..." Then, she used her consciousness to ask Lin Yida: "Isn't the Mind Staff a toy you made? How did it appear here?"
Lin Yi's voice sounded in Shi Qi's consciousness, with a hint of surprise: "Huh? Why did they mention the Mind Scepter? This is indeed a gadget I once made, but I only made it to study the conduction and amplification mechanism of objects. I never thought it would be used for evil purposes."
Shi Qi asked: "Yi Yi, is this Mind Scepter really that powerful? Can it control people's minds?"
Lin said after a moment: "In theory, it does have the ability to amplify and guide people's emotions and will, but the prerequisite is that the user must have a deep enough understanding of the target.
Moreover, this kind of control is not absolute, and people's willpower and mental strength can also play a great role in resistance. The Mind Scepter is more like an amplifier rather than a direct control tool. So, in fact, that thing is useless."
After listening to Lin Yi's explanation, Shi Qi frowned slightly and thought to himself: "If the Mind Scepter is really that powerful, then is the collapse of the small world related to it? I must find it and find out the truth."
Shi Qi said to Lin Yi: "Yi Yi, I will find the 'Mind Scepter' when the time comes, and you can see if it is yours. By the way, is your 'Mind Scepter' still there?"
Lin Yi responded quickly in Lin Qi's sea of consciousness: "Of course my 'Mind Scepter' is still in my system warehouse, and no tasker has chosen to redeem it. However, after hearing what you said, I think it is necessary to personally confirm the authenticity of this 'Mind Scepter'."
Shi Qi ended the conversation with Lin Yi and refocused his eyes on Yan Ziwen and Han Lin in front of him.
"Where were you guys just talking about? Sorry, I was distracted just now." Shi Qi said.
"Ah, we were talking about the mastermind who was looking for the 'Scepter of the Mind' and planned to use it to control the palace and the entire country." Han Lin took over the conversation and briefly repeated the previous conversation.
Shi Qi nodded, pretending to have just come to his senses, his eyes revealing determination: "This 'Mind Scepter' sounds complicated, we have to find it as soon as possible and not let it fall into the hands of the bad guys."
Yan Ziwen expressed the same concern: "Yes, I have found some clues about the mastermind, but now we have to be careful to avoid being discovered by the men in black."
Han Lin suggested: "Then let's leave here first and find a safe place to plan our next move."
The three of them left the library carefully and continued along the complicated corridor. Shi Qi thought to himself how to find and confirm the authenticity of the "Mind Scepter" without revealing his identity.
Suddenly, a man in black appeared from the corner in front of them, and the three of them immediately hid in the shadows on the side. The man in black didn't seem to notice them and hurried past.
After the man in black left, Shi Qi whispered, "We have to speed up. It's getting less and less safe here."
Yan Ziwen and Han Lin both nodded in agreement. They continued to walk through the corridors of the palace, taking every step carefully.
Finally, they came to a relatively hidden room. Yan Ziwen said softly, "This is a secret passage I discovered before. We can go deeper into the palace from here and maybe find the hiding place of the mastermind behind the scenes."
The three of them carefully pushed open the door and walked in. The passage was dark and narrow, but they did not stop, but moved forward firmly.
After a long journey, they finally arrived at a spacious underground hall, which was filled with various rare treasures and some very ancient magic props.
"Is this... the treasure room of the mastermind behind this?" Han Lin said in surprise.
Yan Ziwen carefully observed the items in the hall, and suddenly his eyes were attracted by a scepter emitting a faint light: "Look! That's the 'Mind Scepter'!"
Shi Qi immediately walked forward and looked at the scepter carefully. Its shape was simple and elegant, and it was inlaid with several dazzling gems, emitting a mysterious light.
"Is this... really the 'Scepter of the Mind'?" Shi Qi pondered in his heart, while communicating with Lin Yi with his consciousness.
Lin Yi quickly responded: "It's fake, there is no resemblance at all. This is not the 'Scepter of the Mind', it has no power at all, it's just a beautiful, useless stick."
Hearing Lin Yi's affirmative answer, Shi Qi felt relieved, but still maintained a solemn expression on his face so as not to arouse the suspicion of Yan Ziwen and Han Lin.
"It seems that what we found is not the real Scepter of the Mind." Shi Qi deliberately lowered his voice and pretended to be disappointed.
Yan Ziwen frowned, looking a little unwilling: "Did we find the wrong place? This shouldn't be the case. All the clues here point to this place."
Han Lin looked around more vigilantly: "Perhaps the real Mind Scepter is hidden in a more secret place, and this one is just used to confuse us."
Shi Qi nodded, agreeing with Han Lin's opinion: "That's right, we can't be fooled by superficial phenomena, we must continue to investigate in depth."
At this moment, a slight noise suddenly came from the depths of the underground hall, and the three people immediately became alert. They carefully approached the direction where the sound came from and found a closed stone door.
"There should be some mechanism here." Yan Ziwen carefully observed the carvings and runes around the stone door, trying to find a way to open it.
Shi Qi quietly communicated with Lin Yi with his consciousness: "Yi Yi, can you sense the location of the real Mind Scepter?"
Lin Yi was silent for a while, then replied: "I'll try, but the magic interference here is very serious and may affect my perception."
Just as the three of them were nervously looking for the mechanism and waiting for Lin Yi's response, the stone door suddenly opened slowly. A gust of cold wind blew out from the crack of the door, making the three of them shiver.
"Be careful, there may be danger inside." Han Lin warned.
Yan Ziwen walked in without hesitation, followed closely by Shi Qi and Han Lin.
They discovered that behind the stone gate was a huge underground palace. In the center of the palace was a magnificent throne, and on the throne lay a scepter emitting dazzling light - the 'real' scepter of the mind!
