Chapter 1212 The Mysterious Cross

Shi Lei bought a black sportswear, a black mask, and a black baseball cap. Basically, he was shrouded in black.

It looked like the night clothes that ancient thieves wore at night.

This is just a place for tourists to visit. Apart from the buildings, there are not many things worth protecting. The most valuable are the buildings themselves and the reliefs on them. These are almost impossible to steal without using large equipment.

Therefore, the security measures here are not too strict.

But even so, there are always guards on duty, and the guards on duty here are all armed. Therefore, Shi Lei still used the ancient martial arts card very carefully, and patiently chose a martial arts master who is good at light work.

This kind of light work is certainly not the light work in martial arts novels that can jump more than ten meters high at will. Flying over eaves and walls is just an exaggeration in martial arts novels. Shi Lei certainly can't fly on the grass, but things like being as light as a swallow are barely reliable.

At least, the fence outside the temple couldn't stop Shi Lei at all. He just grabbed the railing and jumped lightly. He relied on the strength of his arms to make his body fly into the air, and then easily climbed over the fence.

After entering the temple, Shi Lei lowered his body and exerted his speed to the fullest.

I dare not say that he can compare with the world's top sprinters, but at least his sprint speed can reach nearly ten meters per second.

Without much effort, Shi Lei entered the main building of the Temple of Hephaestus. Then, he hugged a large stone pillar with both hands without hesitation and climbed up easily like a monkey.

After reaching the top, he saw more clearly that there was indeed a gap about the thickness of a finger between the top of the stone pillar and the edge of the arch.

Shi Lei took out a strong flashlight from his pocket and shone it along the gap. He saw the steel cable inside and vaguely saw a few things similar to gears.

With his hands on the arch, Shi Lei pressed his body tightly against the edge of the arch. Although he was lying on his back, he still held the edge of the arch, like a gecko, and gradually moved along the edge of the arch.

The speed was not fast, but this was not a very large temple, and Shi Lei only took more than two minutes to go around.

He did not find any possible mechanism. Shi Lei knew that the mechanism of the mechanism in this temple was not on the arch.

Then, it should fall near those stone pillars.

Swimming down from another stone pillar, Shi Lei began to study and search for each stone pillar, but he still found nothing until more than four o'clock in the morning.

It seems that the mechanism of this mechanism is still very well hidden.

Shi Lei was not in a hurry. It was more than four o'clock, and it was not far from dawn. He decisively found a corner he had found during the day. This was a depression next to the steps outside the temple, which could fully accommodate his body.

When the time for the temple to be open for sightseeing came, Shi Lei found an opportunity to get out of it, pretending to be a tourist, left the temple and returned to the hotel.

He had a good sleep during the day, woke up at night and went to have dinner directly, then Shi Lei continued to wait until midnight and sneaked into the Temple of Hephaestus again.

After spending almost the whole night to study, Shi Lei still failed to find the mechanism smoothly, which surprised him a little. After all, the mechanical application knowledge he now possessed has surpassed this world a lot. Even he couldn't find it, how did those people do it at the beginning?

Shi Lei suspected that he might have gone in the wrong direction.

On the third day, after dinner, Shi Lei sat in the hotel room, put the photos he had taken before on the computer, and studied them carefully, but did not gain much.

Sitting on the sofa, Shi Lei closed his eyes and thought hard.

Could it be that the mechanism in this temple is not inside the temple, but outside the temple?

After midnight, Shi Lei set out again and entered the Temple of Hephaestus for the third time at night.

This time, he did not enter the temple, but searched around the edge of the temple.

The temple guards came out to patrol from time to time, which caused some difficulties for Shi Lei's research.

Shi Lei knew that he had to find the location of the mechanism tonight, otherwise, he would not have enough confidence to come in tomorrow night.

He used the ancient martial arts card for three consecutive nights. Without the help of the ancient martial arts card, he really did not dare to say that he would be able to successfully hide from the surveillance and eyes of the guards and enter the temple.

If it really doesn't work, he can only wait until June to come again.

But things don't go as planned. At more than four o'clock in the morning, the sky was already a little light, and Shi Lei still couldn't find any mechanism.

He had no choice but to hide in the small depression on the side of the steps again. He felt very surprised that he had not found anything in three days. This was obviously not a normal thing.

The concave space on the side of the steps was very narrow, and Shi Lei was curled up in it, and could hardly move.

Feeling a little anxious, Shi Lei felt tired earlier than the previous two days.

He tried to turn around and stretch his legs a little, but when he turned around, he hit his head on a bulge on the side of the concave.

It is almost impossible for light to come in here, so Shi Lei, who has already hidden here twice, actually doesn't know much about this depression.

He suddenly hit his head, and he could feel that it was a cylindrical object, and Shi Lei couldn't help but feel a slight shudder in his heart.

It can't be such a coincidence...

Shi Lei didn't care much, listened carefully, and made sure there was no sound of guards walking, and he reluctantly took out a strong flashlight from his pocket.

Then, he adjusted the flashlight to the normal light mode and turned it on.

Tilting his head, Shi Lei noticed that there was indeed a protruding object on the top of the back of his head.

After a careful look, Shi Lei found that it seemed to be a cross shape that was not very standard.

Cross?

This is obviously not something that should appear in a Greek temple. It is a symbol of Christianity, that is to say, this thing must have been designed by the architect of the Byzantine School, otherwise, how could there be a symbol of Christianity?

In the depression, Shi Lei reluctantly turned his body and finally faced the cross.

He stretched out his hand and tried to bend the cross, but found that he couldn't bend it at all.

I tried to push it in, but it still didn't move.

I tried to pull it out, but it still didn't move.

However, a cross suddenly appeared in this ghost place, which itself meant some special situation.

Shi Lei thought that it might be because of his current position that he couldn't exert any force at all, and this cross, as the mechanism, must require a lot of force to make it move.

He hesitated for a moment and looked at the sky outside. It was almost bright. In a while, even the sun would probably rise.

Shi Lei listened carefully to the movement outside and decided to take a risk.
