Anne didn't show a surprised look, because after all, Stern was born in special forces, and he must have received more course training, but this kind of training also requires a certain amount of talent to be able to play to the extreme, and the man in front of her is definitely a person with this kind of talent, which also subverts her previous view of the arrogant American soldier.

"In fact, many methods are completely useless here in the Indochina Peninsula, especially after entering this reincarnation city, I feel that I can't find answers to many things with my logic, such as when we were trapped in Stonehenge." Stern stretched his waist and continued, "So let's not talk so much, it's important to get out, Donnie will help me up and go to the stone gate first, I want to find out where the mechanism for opening and closing the stone door is, maybe the hidden exit is similar to this mechanism." ”

So with Donny's support, Stern limped to the stone door with pain, groped carefully, and then asked with a puzzled face: "Donnie, do you see if the material of this stone door is the same as the material on the stone wall next to it?" ”

"Yes, it's all black basalt."

"Nothing, just that there shouldn't be any overly complicated mechanisms here." After saying that, Stern touched the wall around, and the other senses of a person would become more sensitive when he was blind, so he soon found a hidden gap in the stone wall with the same exit as the stone door, and confirmed it again, and sure enough, it was a crack.

"I found a not-so-obvious crack in this wall, which could be the hidden stone door. Let's see if you can push the stone door open. ”

Anne walked over and took a closer look, and as Stern had said, there was a very inconspicuous gap in the clanderly basalt surface. On closer inspection, the gap outlined a rectangle that resembled a door, so she tried to push the stone door as Stern had said, but the stone door did not move. So she called Donnie and Kansa to push together, and the three of them used all their strength to push the stone wall in this gap, but the stone wall still did not move, and it felt like a wall.

"Medium... Sergeant, are you mistaken? The stone wall can't be pushed at all. Donnie asked, gasping.

"If it can't be pushed open, it means that it is locked, and it is very likely that it is locked from the outside."

"That's... So what to do? So we can't get out? ”

"By the way, could this door have a doorknob-like mechanism?"

When Stern heard Anne say this, he remembered the possibility, and at the same time he went into the stone door and groped around, and found that it was bare except for a bronze statue of a fairy holding a lotus lamp. This made him a little suspicious, and at the same time, his sense of smell, which had become more sensitive due to his temporary blindness, came into play again: "Annie, if you go and smell the smell of each lamp, is there a difference?" Then smell the one on the stone wall in particular! Is the scent of sandalwood in this secret room coming from this copper lamp? ”

"Isn't this sandalwood scent always there? Can you still smell it? ”

Anne was puzzled at first, but after she smelled the fragrance of each copper lamp as Stern said, only the copper lamp in front of Stern emitted a fragrance, while the other copper lamps only smelled of oil smoke. Then she took a closer look and found that the lotus flowers on the copper lamp were all made of different materials, the others were pure copper lotuses, and only this one was a black sandalwood pedaling copper lotus.

"That's true, I was only focusing on lighting the lamp before, and I didn't pay attention. In other words, it is possible that the mechanism is on this bronze statue. ”

"It should be, you touch the place where the lotus lantern is touched, and see which part of the bronze statue can be moved."

As she spoke, Anne, she tried to turn the lotus lantern on the bronze statue's hand, and then the bronze statue suddenly made a dull click.

"Wait! Don't move yet! ”

When Anne heard that voice, and before she could continue to turn the lotus lantern, Stern suddenly said something, and she immediately looked back at Stern in confusion: "What's wrong?" Listening to this voice, isn't this lotus lantern the mechanism of the stone gate? ”

Not only Annie, but even Donnie on the side stared at Stern with wide eyes, and finally found the mechanism that hid the stone door. It felt like playing a puzzle game, and I felt an irrepressible sense of excitement at the thought of this stone chamber being cracked by them at once.

"Isn't that obvious? This is the doorknob of this hidden stone door! Why don't you turn it on? ”

"I have a strong sense of uneasiness, what if behind this stone gate is not a stone gate to go out, but to another place?"

After listening to Stern's analysis, Anne also thought of this possibility, but she thought about it and said to Stern: "But this stone door won't open, and we don't know if it's going out to the outside!" ”

Donnie chimed in, "yes, if we don't open the door first, how do we know where it's going?" ”

"Although the truth is correct, I am worried that there will be some danger inside, after all, this is not a normal place, and it is better to be careful."

As soon as Stern said this, the flame of hope that had just been ignited by Anne and the others began to slowly go downhill again, which caused everyone to fall into silence for a while. If, as Stern said, there is some danger behind the stone gate that they can't open, then they really have to be trapped here and wait for death.

"So what do you think we should do? We'll have to find a breakthrough in the end, or we'll have to wait here to die. Anne looked at Stern, who was leaning against the stone wall in a pensive state.

"I can't see now, I can only rely on other senses to judge, although this secret room is simple, but I always feel that I can get more useful clues." Stern gave his opinion, and then suddenly thought of something, and said, "By the way, when we met the Rock Maze before, it was the professor who finally led us out, right?" ”

"Well, yes, at that time you insisted on burning the Linga stone statue, and the professor disagreed, saying that he had thought of other ways. Later, when the ground cracked, he ventured to find the ferromagnetic properties of the boulder, and then he found the ancient path. ”

Stern was a little embarrassed by this, thinking that if he hadn't been so embarrassed by the strong desire to get out of the maze, he wouldn't have been so embarrassed, and he wouldn't have almost been swallowed by the giant ancient octopus monster. So this time he doesn't plan to think about all the solutions from his point of view again.

So he asked Anne, "You have been working with the professor for a long time, can you think from the professor's perspective and deduce the role of this hidden stone door?" In other words, the Khmer people's intention to build a hidden stone gate here? Of course, you should put aside the most basic reason, which is to prevent the creatures in the stone chamber from escaping, because this is just my speculation. ”

"This....if I were a professor, my first instinct would be to look at the written records and narrative reliefs here, and judge the purpose of their construction here."

"That's right! Didn't you say you've been looking at the reliefs on the stone walls? Do you see if there is anything special or unreasonable? It is to intuitively see if there is anything wrong from the professor's point of view, especially the relief on the stone wall where the stone gate is located. ”

"Yes!"

As soon as Stern finished speaking, Anne immediately responded to him, and then she said, "It happens to be the one that hides the stone door on the other side, and it is very different from the other six." ”

"How so? You describe it! ”

"There seem to be a lot of ghosts carved on this relief!"
