Chapter 691: Breaking the Lock (Part 1)

Perhaps there are some secrets in the story told by the King of Thieves, but it seems that Wu Laogou does not intend to continue telling it.

Han Xu glanced at the other party in confusion and didn't say much.

After all, the story itself seems to have something to do with the Jiuzi Yuanyang Lianxin core, but in fact, the correlation is not big.

It seems that Wu Laogou deliberately concealed something.

However, Han Xu was not particularly concerned. Instead, he looked at the nine-piece mandarin duck chain core in his hand and asked doubtfully, "Master Wu, do you know the whereabouts of this strange lock?"

Wu Laogou shook his head, "The story I just told you was handed down from my ancestors. As for what happened next, there are several theories, but they are not very reliable. The original Nine-Son Mandarin Duck serial core has been around since then. His whereabouts are unknown.

When I saw this strange lock just now, to be honest, I was very shocked!

Officer Xiao Han, may I venture to ask, where did you get this lock? "

Han Xu didn't expect Wu Laogou to turn against the guest, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

After all, the matter is too important to be leaked out easily.

But when you ask others to do something, it’s hard to lie and hide it.

Wu Laogou was very discerning. Seeing Han Xu's hesitant expression, he chuckled and said, "Officer Han, if it's inconvenient, then there's no need to say anything. A bad old man like me is all People who are half buried in the loess are no longer interested in many things.

But before it was buried, I could still see this nine-piece mandarin duck chain core. Alas, God has been kind to my Wu family! "

Han Xu didn't understand the last words of the Wu family, so he had to apologize, "I'm really sorry, Master Wu."

"It's the same for everyone in your line of work. It's nothing." Wu Laogou, the thief king of the generation, didn't mind at all.

In fact, not much time is wasted in telling the story of a vignette.

Next, under the guidance of Wu Laogou, Han Xu began to crack the nine-piece mandarin duck serial core in front of him!

Qisuo is indeed Qisuo!

Even though Han Xu was very talented, under the guidance of a famous expert, it still took him more than half an hour to open the first layer of the Nine-Son Mandarin Duck Chain Core.

But the progress is indeed much faster than that of Cheng Zi's unlocking master.

Of course, the biggest credit should be credited to Wu Laogou.

Without the assistance of this generation of thief kings, Han Xu wouldn't even know where to start, let alone opening the first floor.

Now we’re on the second floor!

"Officer Xiao Han, the next crack is much more difficult than the previous one."

Wu Laogou couldn't help but remind him.

Han Xu nodded and became more focused.

Wu Laogou talked eloquently on the side, "The design of locks like Jiuzi Yuanyang Chain Core is unique and even combines knowledge in mathematics, physics, psychology, etc. However, as long as you understand the principles thoroughly and have a steady hand, With a calm mind, it is not as difficult as imagined to open up.

In fact, although the internal structure of previous locks was very complex, there was still some gap compared with today's locks.

However, this nine-piece mandarin duck chain core is an exception. Not only is the exterior workmanship exquisite, but the internal structure is also no less than modern top locks!

To be honest, this thing can even be said to be a complete collection of locks! "

This was not the first time Han Xu heard similar words. Chengzi had used these words to praise Datong Suo before.

However, after actually getting started, Han Xu realized that what Wu Laogou said was true. The complexity of the Nine-Son Mandarin Duck Link Core in front of him was quite frightening.

If Han Xu's memory wasn't strong enough and he couldn't figure out the general structure inside, would this be just the second level?

Who knows how many floors there are behind it? !

"Master Wu, is it possible that this nine-piece mandarin duck chain core really has nine layers?"

After Wu Laogou heard this, he chuckled and said, "I don't think so. The core of this nine-piece mandarin duck chain is the lock core. It is complex and changeable, but the number of layers is not necessarily too many. The first layer is actually just a shell.

Just like the door god posted on the door, the purpose is actually to scare away some laymen.

In the hands of people like us, it can still be opened easily. "

Han Xu understood. "According to your opinion, there may be only one layer left of the Nine-Son Mandarin Duck Chain Core?"

"Nine times out of ten," Wu Laogou, the king of thieves of the generation, was still very confident in his professionalism. He slightly nodded and said, "The mechanism in the lock cylinder focuses on the flexible use of reeds. The so-called "mechanism" is How clever it is to "collect" and "release", so if people like us are willing to unlock it, it is not as difficult as imagined, but my eyesight is not good, and I am too sophisticated to do anything. "

Han Xu nodded silently and focused his energy on the Jiuzi Yuanyang serial core again.

However, this strange lock was not as simple as Wu Laogou said. An hour later, he still couldn't get in.

Even Wu Laogou, the thief king of the generation, frowned.

Han Xu didn't mind at all. If this strange lock could be opened so easily, why would it be called a strange lock?

Even someone with an astonishing artistic talent like Wu Laogou still has to work hard for a long time.

While the two were working hard to study the core of the Nine-Son Mandarin Duck Chain, Li Le and Cheng Zi wandered back from outside.

Thanks to the patience of the two of them, what is there to do in such a small village?

After being out for half an hour, I walked around the entire village.

It was so boring that I had to turn back early.

Li Le also bought some vegetables at the canteen at the entrance of the village. He had made plans early in the morning to have a meal at the house of the king of thieves at noon.

Cheng Zi was stunned, feeling that this guy seemed to be here to experience rural life.

After the two came back, they greeted Han Xu and the owner of the room, and Li Le went directly to the kitchen.

Chengzi had nothing to do and it was not convenient to watch and unlock, so he could only follow Li Le and start fighting.

When it was noon, there was still no movement from Han Xu and Wu Laogou.

After Li Le prepared a table of meals, while serving the steamed rice, he asked Xiang Chengzi, "Hey, Chengzi, do you think they can open that core?"

Chengzi shook his head slightly, took the chopsticks to taste the saltiness, and then replied, "I studied that thing for most of the night. The first layer is okay, but the later ones are simply not for humans, even if Mr. Wu is better than me. I don’t know how much higher it is, but if I want to open that lock easily, I think it’s quite awkward!”

"Then let's ask them to come down and eat! People are like iron, and rice is like steel. Let's finish eating first."

Li Le cooked a large table of dishes and didn't want to touch them at all, so he encouraged Cheng Zi.

Chengzi nodded, didn't move, didn't move his feet, and shouted with a broken gong, "dinner is ready!"

At that volume, not to mention the two people upstairs, they could hear it clearly even from three to five miles away.

Li Le couldn't help but be dumbfounded. There was really nothing he could do against the rough man in front of him.
