Chapter 71 Psychological Trap

For a long time, a flash of light flashed in Wen Zuo's mind, he stopped looking around, pointed at the pile of protruding rocks at Zhang Tingzhong's feet and said.

"Could it be that the mechanism is in the pile of stones next to your feet? It's so inconspicuous that other people probably wouldn't expect it!"

Zhang Tingzhong laughed, looked at Cheng Shi and said, "Agent Cheng, what do you think?!"

Wen Zuoxuan also turned his attention to Cheng Shi. Cheng Shi stared at Zhang Tingzhong and then looked at the rocks beside his feet.

Cheng Shi suddenly chuckled and said softly: "I think although the stone on the ground is a trap, it is also a trap!"

Wen Zuoxuan couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, and even Zhang Tingzhong was no exception!

Wen Zuoxuan looked puzzled and said, "Brother Cheng, why do you say that?!"

Cheng Shi already somewhat understood what Zhang Tingzhong meant. Ever since he came to the rockery, he had been showing off!

Moreover, Zhang Tingzhong is so confident, so the answer cannot be that simple, there must be another mystery!

Cheng Shi then said calmly: "Because if the person who comes here is not just one person, the first person falls into the trap because of that conspicuous mechanism!

People's habitual thinking will make people think the opposite, so the pile of stones at Mr. Zhang's feet, which seems to be very inconspicuous, will jump into their sight.

But when they thought they found the real mechanism, they didn't know that they had fallen into the trap of another mechanism!"

Zhang Tingzhong reacted from his stunned state and said with a smile: "Agent Cheng is right, this one under my feet is also a trap!"

Wen Zuoxuan became a little impatient and said, "Brother Zhang, I can't guess. You'd better tell me where the agency is?!"

Zhang Tingzhong curled his lips slightly and said softly: "Agent Cheng, since you have seen these two agencies, have you figured out where the real agency is?!"

Cheng Shi said with a smile: "In my opinion, the people who set up this mechanism use the most mental traps!

So the most unlikely place is the real switch, which is where Brother Wen and I saw it at the beginning!"

Zhang Tingzhong and Wen Zuoxuan were both stunned for a moment. Before Zhang Tingzhong could speak, Wen Zuoxuan had already said anxiously.

"How could it be where it is? Brother Zhang just said it was a trap, and it's really obvious there!"

Cheng Shi continued: "It's just because it's too obvious, and when pressed, it becomes a trap, so no matter who it is, they won't regard it as a switch!"

However, the strange thing is that it is concave, why not make it flat or convex?!

Thinking about it this way, the first possibility is to make it into a trap to attract thieves!

Second, if it is recessed, the place cannot be rotated and can only be pressed, so this is what I feel is suspicious!

The designers used this mechanism mostly as psychological traps. Based on my personal speculation, that mechanism is not for pressing!

But to bring it forward is the real way to open the mechanism. Mr. Zhang, I wonder if my guess is correct?!"

After hearing this, Zhang Tingzhong's expression became obviously not good-looking, and Wen Zuoxuan also saw Zhang Tingzhong's expression!

Wen Zuoxuan suddenly laughed and said, "Brother Zhang, could it be that what Brother Cheng just said is the correct answer?!"

Zhang Tingzhong didn't say anything, and took out a bunch of strange keys from his body, and then picked out a strange black piece from the bunch of keys!

Zhang Tingzhong walked to a place as high as a person and put the black piece into the sunken pit, only to hear a snap!

Zhang Tingzhong's right hand began to rotate vigorously. After a long time, there was a snapping sound, and then Zhang Tingzhong pulled out hard!

I saw that the stone in the small pit was pulled up by him, and finally became as flat as the rockery outside!

Not far from the rockery, a smaller rockery slowly moved about three meters to the left, revealing a dark hole!

Zhang Tingzhong then looked back at Cheng Shi and the others, and said softly: "Agent Cheng's guess is good, this is indeed the mechanism to open the door!

I have been visited many times by thieves, and they are usually caught in the first trap!

Occasionally, someone will trigger the second trap and be caught, but no one has ever opened my trap!"

Wen Zuoxuan looked at Cheng Shi with an admiring look, and soon he secretly shook his head!

Because when he saw Cheng Shi staring hard at the moving rockery pass, he thought Cheng Shi was interested in what was inside!

A person who is so greedy for money, he naturally does not want to be friends with such a person, and he admired the other person's heart just now, but now he is a little disgusted!

Cheng Shi knew that the small rockery was solid based on the slight movement coming from the foot of the ground!

He didn't expect that stones weighing thousands of kilograms could be moved away easily with a mechanism, and he was very confused about the principle!

Cheng Shi stared hard at the mechanism. He was actually interested in the designer of the mechanism and how he designed it!

He is not very interested in the valuables inside, because he wants to make money, and he has many ways!

He was now more interested in this ancient mechanism, so Cheng Shi asked excitedly.

"Mr. Zhang, I wonder who built this complicated mechanism. It can move boulders weighing several kilograms. How ingenious is it?!"

When Wen Zuoxuan heard Cheng Shi's question, he was stunned for a moment. Then he realized that he had misunderstood Cheng Shi just now, and he was just curious about the mechanism!

Wen Zuoxuan was also very interested in the person who set up this mechanism, so he also asked: "Yes, who designed such a clever mechanism?!"

Zhang Tingzhong looked at the curious two people and said with a smile: "This is a secret room built by the descendants of Hong Zejing, a master of the Qing Dynasty mechanism, based on the mechanism drawings passed down by him!"

"Where is this person now?!" Wen Zuoxuan also wanted to find such a secret place, so he asked curiously.

"He is friends with my father and often travels around the world. I don't know where he is now. Let's go and have a look first!"

After Zhang Tingzhong finished speaking, he took the lead and walked to the entrance behind the rockery, and then walked in slowly!

After the two of them glanced at each other, they also went in one after another. Once inside, Cheng Cai realized that his thoughts were too simple.

They were actually walking up, walking a distance of more than two meters, and the three of them entered a space about the size of a bedroom!

I don’t know where Zhang Tingzhong pressed the button, but the rockery blocked the entrance again!

Then in the middle of the darkened rockery, the surroundings suddenly lit up again. There were actually 8 oil lamps here!

After the oil lamp slowly turned on, Cheng Shi began to look around at the surrounding environment!
