Chapter 404: Rookie Beats Expert

Bob's heart had climbed to his throat; he was utterly focused, paying attention to every rustle of grass and gust of wind around him. Time ticked away second by second, yet nothing happened.

Bob let out a long sigh of relief and almost collapsed to the ground.

"Is it seriously this simple?"

Bob picked up the box from the ground, still feeling a bit incredulous.

How could something so important be left here without any protection?

That was like tossing a gem of immeasurable value onto the streets.

What Bob didn't know was that the room he was in was a Chamber of Mechanisms filled with peril; triggering any one of them would mean certain death.

The mechanisms were hidden behind the metal walls, inactive.

This was actually easy to understand; once a mechanism was activated or even partially activated, there would definitely be a leak of energy.
