Chapter 2290 No Coincidence
There was a crisp sound and a few wisps of smoke.
I was shocked. I thought Kailan was just threatening and losing his temper. Unexpectedly, he actually pulled the trigger.
In any case, the mechanical bird is an ancient technology, and it needs to be used to find the heritage of other Sky Tribe people. If it is broken into pieces here, wouldn't it be a huge loss?
I hurriedly stretched out my hand to stop Kailan and said anxiously: "You are really hitting me!"
Kailan looked confused. He first looked at the revolver in his hand, and then at the pulled trigger. His body suddenly trembled, and he suddenly came back to his senses. He cried and said, "Why did I shoot?"
As she spoke, her eyes wandered, looking around, looking for the mechanical bird in the sky.
After just a few glances, I found that the mechanical bird was still floating on the spot, motionless, as if nothing had happened just now.
I was so shocked that it couldn't happen for a moment.
Kailan is a real sharpshooter. She can hit wherever she points with perfect accuracy. Even if she hits a flying fly ten meters away, I won't be surprised.
Why?
She didn't hit the mechanical bird?
Missed the target?
This possibility is smaller than being hit by a meteorite.
on purpose?
Look at her reaction and expression just now, it doesn’t look like that!
That is how the matter?
Could it be that there are souls of the ancestors of the Celestial Clan out there, protecting this mechanical bird?
"It's a good idea, but it's not the right answer." Odachi suddenly said: "There are no magic fluctuations around the mechanical bird, so there can be no such thing as the protection of the souls of ancestors."
"Then how to explain the phenomenon of Kailan missing the target?"
"This is very simple." Odachi said in a relaxed tone: "Didn't you notice that the ground suddenly shook just now?"
I looked confused when I heard it, and after a while I said, "The ground shook? When? Are you kidding me?"
"Why am I teasing you? Is there any benefit?" Odachi said disdainfully: "Anyway, I really want to tell you, believe it or not."
After that, the Odachi actually became silent.
If you think about it carefully, what Odachi said makes sense. If there was no external force to control it, how could Kailan pull the trigger, and how could he miss the target?
But why didn't I notice the abnormal phenomenon of the ground shaking?
Turning my head, I turned my gaze to Kailan's face, which was full of guilt, and murmured: "Didn't she notice it too? Or..."
"Hey, Kailan, okay, don't feel guilty now, look at me, I have something to ask you!"
Shaking Kailan awake, who was still deep in guilt and self-blame, I said seriously: "Keilan, let me ask you, did you feel the ground shaking just now?"
Kellan shook his head.
"Then do you know why you pulled the trigger just now?" Looking into her eyes carefully, I said word by word: "I believe that is not your true idea. You definitely don't want to hurt the mechanical bird, right? "
She nodded in a daze, her pupils shrank suddenly, and she said with a trembling voice: "How could I hurt the mechanical bird? It is the inheritance left to me by my ancestors, and besides, it is very valuable. Even if I sell it, I won't." Hurt it!"
This is really a very convincing reason!
"Everything happens for a reason. Since you didn't take the initiative to pull the trigger, there must have been an external force exerted to subtly force you to pull the trigger. Maybe it was because of the shaking of the ground."
"But. I didn't feel the ground shaking at all, I just felt"
"What?"
"I just felt like my feet were weak, and my fingers pulled the trigger unconsciously."
Is that so?
It seems that the ground did shake just now, but we didn't notice it.
While I was thinking, there was a sudden tremor under my feet. This time, I clearly felt the ground shaking.
Kailan couldn't help but exclaimed: "Ah, is it an earthquake?"
"It's not an earthquake." Odachi's voice sounded again: "These two shakings produced magic waves. The first one was weak, but this one is strong."
I thought in shock: "Is there something underground that needs to be dug out?"
"Not from the ground, but from the metal hill in front of you!"
"Metal hill. Hiss, it can't be"
Before he finished speaking, there was only a dull rumble, and the smooth wall, which was like a whole steel plate, suddenly cracked a gap that was about an inch wide. Inside the gap, there was a pitch black, like ink.
"The door is open! The door is open!" Kailan screamed with joy, and a pair of delicate hands grasped my arm so tightly that it was deformed.
"Congratulations, master." Seeing this, the mechanical bird finally flew down confidently and boldly, carefully landed on Kailan's shoulder, and complimented loudly: "You have been recognized by the Wandering Gunner Research Base."
Kailan was in a very good mood. Naturally, he would not knock down the mechanical bird again. Instead, he stroked the small bird's head and said proudly: "That's natural. I am a descendant of the Celestial Clan. How can I not be influenced by my ancestors?" Inheritance recognition?”
The metal door slowly opened, but behind the door was not a spacious research base, but another door.
The two gates are several meters apart, with a metal puppet standing between them.
The puppet is tall, with long arms and legs. He wears a jazz hat, a dark red trench coat of unknown material, and dark blue trousers of the same unknown material. He holds a shiny metal cigarette in his mouth and holds a handful in each hand. Revolvers are placed on both sides of the waist.
Dressed in denim, standing in the white snow, he suddenly looked arrogant and unrestrained.
The metal puppet's eyes shimmered with white light, and a pair of arms suddenly raised. This sudden movement made me break into a cold sweat. I instantly drew my sword out of its sheath, and at the same time, I condensed my murderous intent, ready to deal with sudden attacks at any time.
Unexpectedly, the metal puppet did not intend to attack, but rubbed the metal cigarette a few times. With a soft sound, the metal cigarette was actually lit, but it only smoked and did not shorten.
Taking a deep breath and blowing out streams of white smoke, the metal puppet took a step forward and said in an electronically synthesized voice: "Excuse me, who activated this door?"
Kailan hesitated, not knowing whether to answer or not. She didn't even know whether she was the one who activated the door.
I thought about it, mustered up the courage, took a step forward, and asked, "May I ask your Excellency, what are the key steps to activate the gate?"
"Sacrifice a revolver."
I was so happy. What a coincidence. If Kailan hadn't finally collapsed and threw the useless revolver at the metal gate, it would have taken years and months to activate the entrance!
Kailan's expression was complicated and unclear, he took a deep breath and said, "It's me."
"Please come forward and accept the identity test," the mechanical puppet said: "The identity test is divided into two steps. In the first step, please place your palm in this position -"
He stretched out his right index finger and pointed to the palm of his left hand: "Repeat, please put the palm of your hand in this position."
