Chapter 1332 is complete!
Xiao Ce saw this thing; it looked familiar. He had seen it before, before on Lost Island...
Somewhat similar.
Xiao Ce was truly starting to feel a bit dazed. The environment he had been through all along was, in fact, a testament to his past.
Even this strange stone door bears the marks of time...
It doesn't look like an aftermarket installation...
Just as Xiao Ce was sizing him up.
Xiao Dingshan's gaze immediately locked onto the crystal disc device.
He didn't stop walking and went straight to the stone gate.
Two androids followed closely behind, one of whom immediately pulled a probe-like connecting wire from his personal device and precisely inserted it into a nearly invisible miniature interface on the side of the stone gate.
Another android raised its scanner and began a detailed scan of the crystal disc and the entire stone door.
"Sir, the energy field interference is too strong, making wireless connection impossible. The physical interface has been established and is attempting to parse the portal protocol... The structure is extremely strong, and a non-violent destruction method is feasible. The core verification mechanism points to biometric identification, but the type is... unknown, and there is no matching entry in the database."
The android babbled a bunch of things in a language that Xiao Ce couldn't quite understand...
"Biometric identification..."
Xiao Dingshan repeated in a low voice, his gaze, hidden behind the black veil, seemingly piercing through the bamboo hat, fixed intently on the crystal disc. "Then let's try it."
Without hesitation, he stepped forward and stood in front of the crystal disc.
He raised his right hand and slowly, steadily placed his palm on the smooth, cold crystal mirror. Almost the instant his palm touched it, the light spots inside the crystal disc suddenly accelerated and converged into a dazzling halo, clearly reflecting the outline of his palm.
Xiao Ce was somewhat surprised. Could it be that he hadn't tried before?
Shouldn't he have failed first, which is why he brought him here to try again?
Hum...!
A deep, resonant hum, seemingly emanating from the depths of the earth, resounded.
The crystal disc burst forth with intense white light, the rays sweeping across Xiao Dingshan's palms as if they were tangible, even penetrating his black veiled hat, seemingly scanning the contours of his face. The stream of light repeatedly washed over and compared his palms and head.
One second...two seconds...three seconds...
The white light continued to scan, emitting a low buzzing sound, but the stone gate remained motionless.
Xiao Dingshan maintained his posture and directly took the bag out of his pocket.
Suddenly, the buzzing sound turned sharp and piercing! The light inside the crystal disc instantly changed from white to red, flashing violently!
A red light flashed throughout the tomb chamber, followed by a mechanical warning sound.
"Warning! Biometrics mismatch! Verification failed! One last chance. Verification failure will trigger the elimination plan..."
This was accompanied by a cold sound.
The silver patterns around the stone gate suddenly glowed with a dangerous red light, and a powerful energy fluctuation began to gather...
Xiao Dingshan frowned slightly as he looked at the thing, and after hearing the sound, he said with some frustration, "It still doesn't work... Isn't it still the same?"
Clearly, Xiao Dingshan believed he had grasped the pattern or trick to this identification method, so he modified his body.
But it still didn't work...
"You, come here." Xiao Dingshan's voice was low and hoarse, carrying an unquestionable command, and also containing a barely perceptible, suppressed irritability and probing.
This was clearly the last chance; if there had been any other opportunity, he wouldn't have let Xiao Ce test his skills...
Xiao Ce said to Xiao Dingshan, "You know there are still two chances, can't you let me try first? What is this 'elimination plan' he's talking about?"
Xiao Dingshan was clearly still very unhappy after his defeat.
"Why are you meddling so much... You're my prisoner, you have no right to ask... Go ahead and try..."
Xiao Ce continued to ask Xiao Dingshan, "What is the purge plan? If you don't tell me, do you think I'll go?"
When Xiao Dingshan heard Xiao Ce say this, he said sternly, "This is an order to you, not a discussion!"
Xiao Ce snorted coldly, then looked at Xiao Dingshan with a provocative expression: "Xiao Dingshan, you really don't understand the situation... Tell me properly, and we can all talk... Do you think I'll fall for your act?"
After Xiao Ce said that, Xiao Dingshan's emotions calmed down...
He gave an awkward laugh, then said to Xiao Ce, "Xiao Ce... I was just in a hurry, wasn't I? The cleanup plan involves using laser beams to attack... and kill everyone here... of course, not ordinary people, so there are ways to avoid it..."
Upon hearing Xiao Dingshan's words, Xiao Ce's expression grew even more unpleasant as he said to Xiao Dingshan, "Listen to this...listen to this...is what you're saying even human? You knew this was the case, so why didn't you let me try it earlier...? Even though you brought me here, were you still worried that whoever got tested would be allowed in, right...?"
Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Dingshan's expression grew increasingly grim; clearly, Xiao Ce had guessed correctly...
"I have a way to keep you alive... Alright... Just tell me if you'll take the test or not. If you don't, we have ways to control you. Don't be stubborn and ask for trouble..."
Xiao Ce also detected a hint of hostility in Xiao Dingshan's words...
Xiao Ce raised an eyebrow, feigning nonchalance, his tone carrying a perfectly balanced mix of teasing and helplessness, "Go ahead... I didn't say I wouldn't... don't rush me..."
As he spoke, he strolled forward at a leisurely pace, as if he were merely visiting an ordinary historical site.
Xiao Ce stood before the crystal disc, just a step away from the invisible force field emanating from the stone gate. He didn't immediately reach out, but instead closed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath.
The ancient and pure yin energy deep within the tomb, mixed with the strange fluctuations emanating from the stone gate, was quietly absorbed by him, pushing his spiritual perception to its limit. His senses were magnified infinitely, allowing him to clearly "see" the incredibly precise microscopic energy structure inside the crystal disc, and to sense the call contained within it that subtly resonated with a certain dormant imprint deep within his own bloodline.
He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze deep and unfathomable, devoid of any mockery.
“Since we’re already here, let’s give it a try…” Xiao Ce said in a tone that was a mix of resignation and curiosity, as if he were just satisfying his curiosity. He raised his right hand, his movements much more casual than Xiao Dingshan’s before, even somewhat nonchalant, and pressed it down on the smooth, cold crystal mirror.
Just as his palm was about to touch the crystal surface—
call out!
The crystal disc reacted faster and more violently than ever before! Countless points of light inside, like iron filings attracted by a magnet, surged wildly toward the area that Xiao Ce's palm was about to cover, converging into a dazzling halo.
There was no buzzing during the scanning process, no probing process!
The instant Xiao Ce's palm was completely pressed against the mirror, the entire crystal disc suddenly burst forth with an indescribable, warm, and vast turquoise light!
The light was not dazzling; instead, it gave people a warm and peaceful feeling, like a gentle breeze or returning to the womb, instantly dispelling the heart-palpitating repulsive force field around the stone gate and the coldness of the tomb!
The azure light flowed gently around Xiao Ce's palm, as if it were alive, and quickly spread upwards, outlining every line on his palm, and even through his skin, as if trying to touch the most core mark deep in his bloodline.
As the light shifted, the milky white halo of the stone gate itself intensified, and the silver patterns on the door frame seemed to come alive, flowing with brilliant silver light that shone in harmony with the azure glow.
No warning! No rejection! Only a strange whisper, as if an ancient creation, dormant for millennia, was being awakened, silently resounded in everyone's hearts.
Snap... Rumble...
Xiao Ce was overjoyed upon seeing this, because he never expected that he was the person with the legendary bloodline.
Actually, when he tried it just now, he didn't have any other hopes...
At that moment, a look of madness flashed in Xiao Dingshan's eyes...
"It's done, it really is done..."
Just as he was filled with excitement, his face contorted and contorted with greed and anticipation as he stared at the stone gate, a sudden change occurred...
