Please Have a Cup of Green Tea

Chapter 136: When Miss Green Tea became the love group controller (30)

In the confined and narrow space, dust was flying, Bi Ming curled up and coughed a few times in a low voice.

One hand was hugging her from behind, and the other hand was on top of her head, blocking the rocks falling from the ceiling for her.

If you adjust the viewing angle a little farther, you can see that in this small room full of mud and collapsed rocks, a man with long silver hair and a girl with blond hair are huddled in a narrow corner, their bodies are very close, while the man is raising his hand to shield the girl from dangerous rubble and branches.

"Cough cough..." Bi Ming opened her eyes with difficulty, but there was no trace of light.

If the man behind her hadn't blocked it in time, the small rocks above her head would have smashed and made her bleed.

How did all this happen?

About three minutes ago, she was studying the red-gold mechanical Rubik's Cube that Arnold handed to her near the statue on the first floor.

She was careful enough to slowly try to turn the grids one by one—

But it only took a moment for misfortune to come. An unknown cube piece was turned, and the entire mechanical cube suddenly made a slight vibration.

The next second, she saw the familiar blue light spot haunting her, exactly the same as the "Port Key" effect in the first stage.

Before she could throw the Rubik's cube out, her body was already in a very delicate particle state, and at the same time, she heard the exclamation of Nina who was closest to her, and another cool palm touched her on her shoulders.

When she woke up, she found that she had been teleported to a small, abandoned room built with rock and earth walls.

The most terrifying thing is that it seems that because of her arrival, loose stones began to fall from this dilapidated room, and the man who arrived later raised his hand in time and wrapped her in his arms, covering her head and body for her.

The atmosphere right now was awkward.

Bi Ming turned her head slightly, trying to avoid the hot and humid breath behind her ears, but her shoulders were pressed on.

"Don't move—" The man's cold voice sounded so sexy for the first time, rubbing her eardrums hoarsely, "There are stones behind me, this should be a disrepaired utility room."

The blond girl felt the heat coming from behind her, and her back was tingling with heat: "But, but..."

Her awkward voice also made the silver-haired man behind her frown.

He didn't know how he teleported toward her subconsciously at that moment, and his rational explanation for this was that he needed to determine the rules for using the 'Door key', so it was okay to take a risk.

Arnold has always been nicknamed 'The insulator of the opposite sex', but now holding the piece of warm nephrite in his arms, he just felt that the other party was like a fragrant ointment, and a slight movement made him lose his concentration.

Due to the dark and narrow corner, the two had to lean against each other, and the sound of each other's breathing was clearly audible, and the man's hand on the girl's waist was half-clenched into a fist, avoiding an overly affectionate touch, but even so, it was still ambiguous enough.

"Arnold..." The girl tugged at his arm, "Can you let go first, I can't move..."

The man behind also wanted to let go, but as soon as his elbow moved, he hit a huge stone wall.

"Sorry." He could only apologize. No one thought that this tree tower would have such a small room. It was just right for one person to stand, and two people could only huddle together.

Because of the darkness in front of them, the sense of unease had also increased.

Arnold felt the body of the girl in front of him was shaking, and a strange emotion surged in his heart, like a pebble thrown into a deep lake, stirring a faint ripple.

He moved the corners of his lips, and finally comforted: "Don't worry, pick up the Rubik's Cube, let's find a way to get out first."

Men obviously rarely speak like this, and the overly blunt tone and imperative tone made the girl tremble even more.

"I…, the Rubik's Cube I was holding was thrown out." Her voice was low and low, with slight shame and fear.

Arnold's night vision ability is very good. He glanced around and saw a glowing mechanical Rubik's cube parked on a low rock in front of him.

However, this thing is still a bit far from them.

Arnold measured it and asked Bi Ming softly, "You reach out and see if you can reach it in a certain direction."

"I'll try my best." The girl avoided the breath of the man speaking, her earlobes were already red from embarrassment.

At the prompt of the man, she saw the Rubik's Cube rolling down the ground. It was about two meters away from her, a distance that could be reached with a little effort... Unfortunately, even though she was about to dislocate in pain, her fingers were still some distance away from the Rubik's Cube. 

Arnold stopped her from tossing herself roughly like this: "Forget it, I'll do it."

"But you can't reach it either—" Bi Ming couldn't help but feel frustrated when she thought that Arnold was still one position behind her.

The silver-haired man lowered his head, attached to the girl's ear, and entered her ear with a faintly magnetic and graceful voice:

"It's within reach, this will just make you feel uncomfortable, do you mind?"

The eldest lady was too naive, and now she is full of rebellion, so she urged: "As long as you can leave this ghost place."

The silver-haired man nodded: "Don't worry." After speaking, his palm rested on the girl's waist, hugged her tightly, and stretched out his arms from her side.

"!" If the other party hadn't informed her in advance, the eldest lady would have screamed in shock.

Because the man's arm is so strong and powerful, like a mechanical arm made of steel, she couldn't move even when he was holding her waist.

"Eh..." The eldest snorted, the back of her neck became numb due to the surge in hormones, and her face flushed red.

"Sorry, bear with me." The man's body was attached to her, only separated by a thin shirt, and the lines of his muscles could be perceived almost perfectly by her.

The worst thing is that the girl was wearing tight sweatpants today, and she felt the heat behind her, so she didn't dare to move.

If Arnold's character is more frivolous, I'm afraid he can't help being distracted.

It's just that the big scientist is very focused now. He really wants to get the door key back, and his arm length is much longer than Bi Ming's. With a flick of his fingertips, the cube was back in his hand.

"Okay..." Holding the 'Door key', Arnold twitched his lips, and immediately realized that the girl in his arms was in a wrong state.

The sentinel's night vision ability was excellent, and when he lowered his head a little, he saw the blond lady's hair was scattered in a mess, her earlobes were red, and her breathing was short and uneasy.

Arnold's heartbeat suddenly quickened a bit, and his eyebrows also wrinkled slightly.

Did he just...do something outrageous?

Finally, he put his hand on her shoulder and released her slightly: "Are you alright?"

The eldest lady didn't want to speak, she felt that she was about to lose her face, and when she was locked in arms by the other party just now, she actually had a sense of fear unique to those who were dominated.

"Testai," the man called her name again, trying to stop her trembling, "I didn't mean to offend just now, there's just too little space for us in this room..."

"Needless to say, Doctor." The girl's voice was inaudible, with a bit of shame, "It's my problem." She just felt the guide's desperate lack of physical strength in front of the sentinel, and she couldn't convince herself not to be afraid.

Arnold lowered his eyes and put the Rubik's cube in front of her: "Let's take a look at this, let's find a way to leave first."

The secret room and darkness will deepen a person's fear, but he doesn't want the girl in front of him to be afraid of him.

Bi Ming took a deep breath: "Okay."

They started talking about speculation about the cube.

"This is not the ancient six-color Rubik's Cube, it's more like a combination lock." Arnold pointed to the looming digital patterns in the small grids on the Rubik's Cube, "It's marked from 0 to 9."

In essence, there are not many squares with numbers in the Rubik's Cube. From their perspective, the first column of the Rubik's Cube is 0-9, spanning two faces. The leftmost column is also 0-9, and the grid of 0 overlaps with the row, like a starting point.

Bi Ming recalled where she touched just now, and pointed it out to him: "I finally twisted the number '1' in the first row, so that it and the number above show the value of '10946'."

10946 is the number of rooms on the top floor counted by Phoenix.

Arnold gave a "hmm" and then analyzed: "If the room number corresponds to the door key as in the first stage, then this is the room we came to. It's not surprising why the materials used in the house are so primitive. The tops are all small and thin branches, which cannot bear the weight of the alloy wall after being cut through, so an earth wall is used.”

"According to this idea, let's turn the Rubik's cube and turn it into '00001' to see if we can go back."

At this moment, he wrapped his arms around her, holding the Rubik's Cube in his hand, and let her twist it as before.

Due to space problems, the two of them couldn't move their bodies, and could only maintain a hugging posture, while the eldest lady could only shrink her shoulders to minimize physical contact.

"Oh...you can come." She pursed her lips and found that she would touch his arm when she moved her arm.

Arnold heard the girl pretending to be indifferent and sighed: "Okay, I'll try."

Soon, after the numbers "00001" were aligned in vertical columns on the Rubik's Cube, they paused for a few seconds, and saw the mechanical Rubik's Cube made a 'Humming' vibration, just like the 'Click' opening of the bicycle combination lock in the earth's modern era which feels the same.

Blue beams lingered around them, and soon, the two finally disappeared from the small room and returned to the hall where they came.

"Testai!" Nina, who was so anxious, immediately grabbed her arm, "Are you all right?"

Bi Ming had to appease her: "It doesn't matter, I was just sent to a small room."

The other sentries who were about to use violent means to open the door were also relieved, and then looked at Arnold with a calm face.

They wouldn't miss the action of the other party hugging the girl's waist the moment they came back.

"You just come back." Phoenix approached his childhood sweetheart, bent down and gently stroked her head, "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

The blonde girl touched her slightly hot cheeks and shook her head gently: "No, Fini, don't worry."

"Testia," he ran his fingers through her blonde hair, warm and relaxing, "I can't help but worry."

Whether it was out of a desire for protection or something else, he couldn't accept the feeling of watching her being sent away before.

The eldest lady only felt that her body gradually became warmer, which was a unique effect of Phoenix's super power.

The anxiety in her heart was relieved a lot, so she raised her head and smiled at the red-haired man: "Thank you."

Arnold looked at the pair of childhood sweethearts who were looking at each other closely, his face was expressionless, but he felt that the air in the hall was getting thinner and harder to breathe.

In his mind, he recalled the previous scene where the girl shrank in his arms, and the evasive, trembling body had silently told her distrust of him.

If there is no comparison, he probably won't feel so obvious.

If it was Phoenix, would she keep dodging?

Though the idea made no sense, Arnold had let his mind go into this clutter for the first time.

Even after knowing the usage of the 'Door key', the exploration of the ruins was still stuck at the bottleneck, that is because of the number of rooms.

Bi Ming mentioned to others that the number of rooms on each floor has a regular pattern to follow, so that the range of room numbers on each floor can also be arranged, and the sentries who used another mathematical tool to calculate it quickly understood construction here.

"Its rooms are built according to the law of natural growth of tree branches. Think of the bottom of the trunk as 1, the first bifurcation is 2, the second bifurcation is 3... All bifurcations will be made by them into passages, passages The room at the end will continue to expand as the tree grows." Sean stared at the spiral staircase, thoughtfully.

Tang glanced at the time: "Even if we know the total number of rooms, we have to search through them exhaustively. It's meaningless. It's almost noon now, and we still need to reserve time to go to the secret passage you said yesterday."

The search for secret passages and new relics was agreed upon by everyone yesterday.

And after they opened the room on the first five floors of the tree tower and found nothing, they were a little impatient.

"The column with blue liquid in the middle should be the 'Aorta' that maintains this big tree. I think we can follow it to find the central control room." Christian suggested.

His thoughts inspired Bi Ming, and she nodded seriously: "We should find the most special room, just like in the first ruins."

"Is it also related to the 'Eye of Horus'?" Nina asked a question.

"The 'Eye of Horus' involves the field of scores, and maybe we can mark several special room numbers based on this feature."

Everyone brainstormed, but Bi Ming vaguely felt that what the "Eye of Horus" wanted to tell them was not an exact number, but an idea.
