The boss has no descendants, but he encounters four smaller versions of himself

As he spoke, he once again cast his gaze towards the strange, glowing symbols on the surrounding walls and the intricate patterns on the ground, trying to sort out useful clues from these seemingly disorganized yet mysterious details and find the correct path to the safe exit.

Xiao Hengyu disagreed, curled his lips and said: "I don't have your ability, I'm just waiting to see how you show off your magical powers."

He said this, but in his heart he knew that what Bo Jingzhou said made sense, but he was too embarrassed to admit it, and he didn't want to cooperate with Bo Jingzhou, so he just stood there, looking like it had nothing to do with him.

But his eyes still unconsciously glanced at the surrounding walls and the ground, secretly paying attention to whether there was anything unusual.

Bo Jingzhou then began to observe this new mechanism array.

After a while, his eyes became stern, as if he had caught some key clue, and his expression became extremely focused and serious.

He slowly raised his hand and carefully touched a symbol on the wall. Then, he turned to look at Su Yutang and said, "Come here."

Su Yutang hurried forward and asked softly, "Jingzhou, have you figured out anything?"

Bo Jingzhou nodded slightly and said in a low voice: "Well, the symbols on the wall are related to the patterns on the ground. Give me your hand."

His tone was calm and firm, making people trust him involuntarily.

Su Yutang extended her hand without any hesitation.

Bo Jingzhou took her hand and pressed it on a specific symbol, saying, "Hold it, don't move."

This whole scene fell into Xiao Hengyu's eyes. His gaze fell on the two people's overlapping hands. His eyes deepened and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart, including jealousy and a trace of unspeakable loneliness. But at the moment, he could not care about these. He just secretly paid attention to Bo Jingzhou's next move, wanting to see if he could break this mechanism array.

After giving Su Yutang his instructions, Bo Jingzhou immediately squatted down and began searching on the ground.

His eyes moved quickly along the lines on the ground. After a moment, he seemed to have confirmed something. He reached out and pressed down hard on a hidden spot underground.

At this moment, there was a slight vibration and a buzzing sound from the surrounding walls, as if a new mechanism had been triggered.

Bo Jingzhou's face changed and he shouted, "Be careful!"

After shouting, he quickly grabbed Su Yutang and protected her by his side, while looking around vigilantly.

Suddenly, a strong feeling of dizziness came over me, as if the entire underground palace began to spin.

Su Yutang felt that the scene in front of her eyes became blurred, and she subconsciously grabbed Bo Jingzhou's arm.

Bo Jingzhou felt equally uncomfortable. He endured the dizziness and tried to stand firm, but the force was too strong and he had no chance to resist.

In this dizziness, the underground palace changed again.

The seemingly flat wall began to move slowly, and the glowing symbols seemed to come alive, moving quickly along the wall and forming new patterns.

The patterns on the ground were also changing. The originally crisscrossing lines seemed to have come to life and began to spread and grow, interweaving and overlapping with each other, forming complex circuits. They also emitted a faint glow, making the entire underground palace even more eerie and strange.

Xiao Hengyu was also a little flustered by this sudden change. He stumbled and fell without any preparation, which made him a little annoyed.

However, he had gone through a lot of twists and turns, and soon he stabilized himself and shouted at Bo Jingzhou: "Can you do this? Why are things getting worse and worse? Why do I feel like we are going in circles?"

Xiao Hengyu was right, they were indeed spinning in circles.

Bo Jingzhou replied, "We're experiencing spatial confusion now. We're constantly going around in circles and have entered a loop. If we can't find the correct symbols and patterns, we'll never stop."

Xiao Hengyu: "What? A circular passage? Wouldn't we be spinning around here and die?"

Bo Jingzhou frowned and ignored Xiao Hengyu's complaints. Instead, he once again looked at the ever-changing symbols on the wall and patterns on the ground. His brain was working rapidly, trying to recall the mechanical knowledge in his grandfather's notes to see if he could find a solution that suited the current situation.

"Every time these symbols on the wall are exchanged and combined, the corresponding patterns on the ground react. The symbols on the wall act like a 'command code'. Through specific arrangements and combinations, they transmit information to the patterns on the ground to open or close mechanisms. The patterns on the ground, in turn, are the 'veins' that execute the mechanisms' actions. Based on the commands, they change their form and trigger different mechanism effects, whether it's opening a passage or activating defensive or offensive devices."

Xiao Hengyu felt dizzy at the moment and could not even stand steadily. He felt that everything around him was spinning. Bo Jingzhou's words sounded like heavenly books in his ears and he could not understand what they meant at all.

He just roared angrily: "Bo Jingzhou, hurry up, I can't take it anymore... If you don't make it stop, I'm going to faint here."

His face turned pale and his stomach churned, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Su Yutang wasn't feeling much better either. She held her dizzy head with one hand, feeling as if the whole world was spinning madly. Her body was becoming lighter and lighter. She said weakly, "I...I can't do this anymore."

Bo Jingzhou glanced at Su Yutang, then quickly grabbed Su Yutang's hand and, relying on his memory and instant judgment, accurately pressed several symbols on the wall.

At the same time, seeing that Xiao Hengyu was still making a lot of noise, affecting his concentration, he kicked Xiao Hengyu to the right rear.

With a bang, Xiao Hengyu hit the wall.

Xiao Hengyu felt a pain and was about to curse, but before he could say anything, he saw Bo Jingzhou make several quick movements in succession, constantly changing the position of his hands pressing on the wall and the ground.

Finally, with a slight "click" sound, the frustrating circulation channel stopped.

The moment the entire underground palace stopped, Xiao Hengyu felt his whole body go limp and he could no longer support himself. He vomited with a "wow".

The acid in his stomach mixed with the remnants of the dry food he had eaten before and vomited all over the floor. His miserable appearance was completely different from his previous arrogant image.

Su Yutang was not in a much better condition. She leaned against the wall for a long time before she gradually came to her senses from the extreme dizziness. She felt like she had been to the gates of hell and had no strength left in her body.

Bo Jingzhou walked over, helped Su Yutang up, and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

Su Yutang took a moment to finally see everything clearly. Then, looking at Bo Jingzhou, who looked calm, she asked curiously, "Why do you look like nothing happened?"

She really couldn't understand why Bo Jingzhou could be so calm and composed, as if he was not affected at all, even though they had also experienced this terrifying cycle.

Bo Jingzhou said, "I've had an unusually keen sense for these command symbols since I was a child. When I'm immersed in something, whatever's happening around me has no effect on me, and I can automatically block out external interference."

He coughed lightly: "Maybe this is a kind of talent."
