The new mission of the CEO of the Miraculous Doctor after traveling through time

Meizi frowned, beads of sweat oozed from her forehead. She held the ancient book tightly in her hand, her eyes scanning back and forth between the magic box and the ancient book. The characters on the magic box flashing with strange light seemed like demons with bared fangs and claws, laughing at their powerlessness. "Ye Chen, this is a little different from what is recorded in the ancient book. It seems that we have overlooked some key information." Meizi's voice was a little anxious.

Ye Chen's face was solemn. He sat cross-legged and tried to gather his magic power to attack the seal of the magic box again. "I also felt that the power of this magic box seemed to be constantly changing. Our magic power was bounced away as soon as we approached it, as if it had its own consciousness." As he spoke, the magic formula in his hand changed, and a faint light rushed towards the magic box, but disappeared in an instant.

Meiko bit her lip and thought for a moment before saying, "Could it be that we opened it the wrong way? Although there are similar characters recorded in ancient books, perhaps this magic box has other hidden conditions." She walked over, squatted down, and carefully observed the complex patterns on the magic box. "Look, the lines here seem to be somehow connected to the surrounding characters, like a guide."

After that, Meiko took out a piece of special rice paper and a magic pen from her storage bag. She first waved the magic pen lightly and placed a dot on the rice paper, corresponding to the starting position of the line on the magic box. Her eyes were as focused as a falcon staring at its prey, not missing any details of the line. Her slender fingers held the magic pen steadily and moved along with the winding lines on the magic box.

"The curvature of this line is very subtle, in some places it is almost a perfect semicircle, and in other places it suddenly turns, as if it is trying to hide something." Meizi muttered to herself while copying. Her brows were slightly furrowed at times, as if she encountered an incomprehensible change, and sometimes they were relaxed, as if she had captured some pattern in the lines.

Ye Chen watched quietly from the side, not daring to make a sound, for fear of disturbing Meizi. Meizi's copying speed gradually increased, and the magic pen quickly shuttled between the rice paper and the magic box. The pattern on the paper became more and more complicated, and more and more similar to the pattern on the magic box. Suddenly, a faint light flashed across the lines on the magic box, and the lines copied by Meizi also glowed accordingly.

"It seems we have found the right direction. This copying is responsive!" Meizi said in surprise, but her hands did not stop moving at all. She drew the lines more carefully, especially where the lines intersected. She would repeatedly check the angle and thickness of the lines to ensure that every detail was accurately presented on the paper.

However, when she copied a particularly complex part, a strong suction suddenly came from the magic box, almost sucking away Meiko's spirit pen. Meiko's face changed, and she quickly stabilized her body and increased the output of spiritual power to resist the suction. "This magic box is really not simple. It even stops us from copying." Meiko wiped the sweat from her forehead and continued to focus on the movements in her hands.

Finally, after some effort, Meizi finished copying the lines on the magic box. She breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the vivid pattern on the paper, as if she saw hope of breaking the seal of the magic box. Ye Chen also came over, and the two began to conduct a new analysis around the copied pattern.

Ye Chen stood up and walked to Meizi's side, looking in the direction she pointed. "You mean, these lines are clues to cracking the seal of the magic box? But they look messy." He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch those lines, but when he was about to touch them, he felt a strong force that pushed his hand away. "Hiss, this power should not be underestimated."

Meizi hurriedly grabbed Ye Chen's hand to check if he was injured. "Don't be reckless. The defense of this magic box is very strong. We have to figure out the pattern of these lines first." She took out a pen and paper from the storage bag and began to copy the lines on the magic box.

Ye Chen was watching from the side, and suddenly his eyes lit up. "Meizi, look at the direction of these lines, is it possible that it is a formation? Let's analyze it from the perspective of the formation." Meizi stopped what she was doing and looked at the pattern she was copying. "Now that you mention it, it seems to be a bit similar, so we have to find the center and base of this formation."

The two of them once again cast their eyes on the magic box, carefully distinguishing the thickness of the lines and the depth of the color. "Here, this darkest point, could it be the center of the formation?" Ye Chen pointed to a corner of the magic box and said. Meizi nodded, "It's possible, then let's try to inject mana from here and see if there is any reaction."

Ye Chen took a deep breath, mobilized all his magic power, and slowly sent it to the point on the magic box that seemed to be the center of the formation. Meizi watched nervously from the side, and prepared the magic formula in her hand, ready to support Ye Chen at any time. But as soon as the magic power touched the magic box, it triggered a powerful energy wave, which shook Ye Chen away.

"Ye Chen!" Meizi exclaimed, and hurried over to help Ye Chen up. A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Ye Chen's mouth, and his face was a little pale. "This magic box is very powerful, it seems we can't act rashly." He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said.

Meizi looked at Ye Chen distressedly, with a flash of determination in her eyes. "We can't just give up like this, there must be a way to crack it. Maybe we can study the ancient book again to see if there are any details that we missed."

The two returned to the ancient book and read it again word by word. "It mentions here that if you encounter a stubborn seal, you can look for the power of the same source." Meizi read. "The power of the same source? What does this mean? Where can we find the power of the same source?" Ye Chen asked in confusion.

Meiko thought for a while, "This magic box looks like an ancient object, so could the power of the same origin also be related to the ancient times? Maybe we should look for some ancient relics or ask some predecessors who know about the ancient things."

Ye Chen nodded, "This is the only way. We can't crack this magic box for now, so let's put it aside and look for clues to the same power. I hope we can find it as soon as possible and solve this mystery." As he said that, he stood up and packed up his things with Meiko, ready to embark on a new journey to find the same power.

After the two left the place where the magic box was placed, the light on the magic box seemed to flicker, as if waiting for their challenge again, or as if hiding a deeper secret.

Meizi and Ye Chen sat opposite each other, with the ancient book spread between them. There was a dead silence around them, with only the slightly heavy breathing of the two. The ancient book that once carried hope now stood in front of them like an insurmountable mountain.

Their eyes were filled with exhaustion and helplessness. They had just gone through a whole circle of magic research, but now they were back to square one. Every method and every theory was like groping blindly in the dark, and every hope that was ignited was ruthlessly extinguished. Those magic characters used to be like shining stars guiding the direction, but now they were like a tangled mess in their hearts, becoming more and more tangled as they tried to unravel it.

"We seem to have hit a dead end." Meiko's voice was bitter, and her fingers gently slid across the pages of the ancient book, as if trying to dig out the missing clues from the ancient paper. Ye Chen frowned, looking in the direction of the magic box, his eyes full of unwillingness. "It feels like we are just a little bit short, but this point is like a chasm. We repeated everything we have learned and tried, but it still doesn't work." Every word was like a heavy stone, hitting this suffocating atmosphere. They knew that the stagnation at this moment might mean that all their previous efforts would be in vain, but they could not find a way out of this predicament.
