Chapter 693: The Origin of the Phantom Tower
"What do you mean?"
Inside the tent, Lin Shi asked immediately after hearing Yang Wangchen's words.
Looking at Yang Wangchen who suddenly started speaking ill of his brother, Lin Shi suddenly became interested. In fact, compared to Yang Wangchen, Lin Shi was more interested in Yang Wangxing.
This person is very interesting!
Yang Wangchen lowered his eyebrows slightly, looking a little lonely.
"Yang Wangxing has changed a lot compared to before. Don't look at him as decadent now, but he used to be more crazy about research than me, and he was more unscrupulous."
"Perhaps because he lost a leg in an accident, his personality has become much more restrained, and he has been deliberately avoiding me, but I can sense that he is definitely hiding something, so you should pay more attention to him."
Lin Shi nodded silently, but at the same time he felt a little strange.
According to what Yang Wangxing said, Yang Wangchen once took his academic achievements for himself, and the two brothers fell out because of this. Now it seems that Yang Wangchen still cares about his brother...
"I see. Also, Expert Yang, I am very honored to be able to participate in the cooperation you just mentioned. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation!"
As he spoke, Lin Shi smiled and stretched out his hand, and Yang Wangchen also stretched out his hand and shook it with him, and the two smiled at each other.
After leaving Yang Wangchen's camp, Lin Shi returned to his own side. He did not gain much from this meeting with Yang Wangchen. It seemed that the other party's understanding of the Phantom Tower was also very limited.
However, based on the fact that Jirachi was once the totem of the Meteor People, and this Phantom Tower was built by the Meteor People, there must be a connection between the two. In other words, it is very likely that Jirachi is hiding in the Phantom Tower.
After returning to the camp, everyone else seemed to have rested, but Lin Shi still felt energetic. He went back to his tent, not wanting to sleep at all, and casually took out a few photos, as well as paper and pen.
The photos naturally showed six murals. In the end, they still failed to find mural No. 4, but the six photos in their hands should be able to provide most of the information.
Lin Shi arranged the photos in order from beginning to end and tried to decipher the secrets. Except for the first and last murals which had no patterns but only abstract lines, the rest seemed to have a certain logical connection.
Lin Shi picked up the first and the last murals. The lines on the two murals had nothing in common. Lin Shi tried to outline the common lines on the two murals on paper, but the resulting pattern was still messy and there were some unconnected lumps.
If this is a map, then the person who designed this route must have cement in his brain...
"Tsk."
After smacking his lips, Lin Shi turned his gaze to the remaining four murals, namely mural No. 2 [The Praying Man], mural No. 3 [Falling Star], mural No. 5 [Phantom Tower] and mural No. 6 [Star in the Clouds].
Scanning them one by one, Lin Shi couldn't help but guess what the content of the missing mural number 4 might be.
In sequence, what should happen after people pray to the shooting star, then the wish is fulfilled, the Phantom Tower appears, and then the shooting star disappears and hides in the clouds.
"It seems that the mural on number four is likely to record the changes of the meteor, or... the awakening of Jirachi?"
Lin Shi whispered to himself, this was the most likely answer he thought.
"That is to say..."
Lin Shi looked into the distance, as if he wanted to see through the obstruction of the tent and look at the Phantom Tower outside.
"This tower was most likely created by the power of Jirachi's wishes, which fulfilled the wishes of those who prayed, the people of the Meteor, and built the Phantom Tower."
"From this point of view, the real map should still be murals No. 1 and No. 7. As long as we can understand their secrets, we may be able to find the hidden Jirachi."
"but……"
Lin Shishen took a deep breath and fanned himself with the photo.
"What the hell is this painting?"
……
A night passed in a flash, and early the next morning, Yang Wangchen's camp in the distance had already begun preparations. And here, perhaps because Lin Shi's physical fitness had been enhanced by the power of super-conquering, even though he studied until very late yesterday, he was still energetic.
"Come on, freshly baked buns and soy milk, come and have some."
Looking at the steaming breakfast on the table, Qin Liuying felt like she was still sleepy.
No, how did Lin Shi get these things?
"Come and eat, Liuying. It tastes pretty good. Let's finish breakfast quickly so we can head to the next floor and try to reach the last floor today."
Meng Wan was not surprised at all. She sat down without hesitation and started eating the buns. She also greeted Qin Liuying warmly.
"Ah~"
At this time, Yang Wangxing was also yawning, and walked out of the tent with a tired face. Looking at the red bloodshot eyes, Lin Shi asked curiously.
"Old Yang, what's wrong with you? Didn't you get enough rest?"
"It's just a headache, an old problem, it's nothing serious."
Yang Wangxing touched his head and said that he was indeed a little depressed.
"Then come over and have dinner. By the way, I have something to tell you." Lin Shi greeted the two of them.
At the dinner table, Lin Shi, Meng Wan and others told him that he had reached a cooperation with Yang Wangchen to fight against the elves in the tower together. Meng Wan and Qin Liuying had no objections, while Yang Wangxing frowned slightly but did not say much.
"Old Yang, I know you and your brother don't have a good relationship, but don't worry, this is just a temporary solution. We'll cut ties with him when we find what we want. As for now, this is a mutually beneficial thing." Seeing that Yang Wangxing didn't react, Lin Shi specifically brought it up.
"Also, from my contact with him yesterday, I felt that he seemed to care about you as his brother."
Lin Shi paid attention to Yang Wangxing's expression, but at this moment Yang Wangxing's expression was indifferent, without the awkwardness of the past, which made him feel as if he saw Yang Wangchen.
"Maybe he just feels a little guilty about what happened in the past. Don't worry about him. I won't forgive him anyway. As for the cooperation, don't worry. I'm not a person who doesn't know the big picture. As long as we can achieve our goal, it doesn't matter."
"Look, what is the pattern? This is the pattern."
Lin Shi gave a thumbs up.
Then, after finishing their meal, Lin Shi and his group started to act together with Yang Wangchen's team.
However, somewhat unexpectedly, the journey to the rest of the sixth floor was exceptionally smooth. Perhaps because of the suffering they suffered yesterday, neither the ancient armor nor other wild elves living on this floor attacked them.
Just like that, without much effort, everyone successfully left this floor and stepped into the brand new fifth floor...
