Chapter 1165 - Passing Level One (2/2)
The pillar wasn’t very tall Because Reinitz was about 5’9″, he only needed to raise his hand when standing in front of it to be able to touch the entablature
“…The hope in your heart, built of gems, diamonds, and pearls…”
Gu Nianzhi murmured, “Look here, doesn’t this look like the line from the poem? This pillar was once encrusted with many jewels”
Reinitz examined it a bit more “…Many parts of the Taj Mahal were once encrusted with jewels, so this wasn’t the only pillar What are you trying to say?”
“But this is the only pillar that read, ‘the hope in your heart!’” Gu Nianzhi pointed to the Sanskrit writing near the top of the pillar “Look here This is in Sanskrit, so I translated it”
Reinitz’s heart thuht here?!”
He had been walking around the Taj Mahal for teeks now, but never noticed this pillar So, of course he hadn’t noticed the Sanskrit engraving on the top of the pillar either!
But this wasn’t really his fault
There were roughly only ten thousand people on the Blue Planet who spoke Sanskrit, and most of them were Brahmins in India
Furthermore, there were only about one thousand people who could actually read Sanskrit
Reinitz’s specialty wasn’t linguistics, so it was very understandable that he couldn’t read Sanskrit
His focus was never on this nondescript pillar, either
Anyone who came to the Taj Mahal would only look at the main hall
Gu Nianzhi had only come out to take a look after she failed to find any clues in theher instincts as a tourist
To Gu Nianzhi, one of the greatest joys of traveling was being able to take photos
Reinitz’s attention was also shi+fted to the pillar
“It’s even stranger if it’s actually here Can this pillar possibly hide the data?” Reinitz muttered to himself as he walked around the pillar in circles
Finally, he raised his hand and stood on his tiptoes to reach towards the small umbrella-shaped entablature on the top of the pillar
The sh space for hied around inside, circling around the entire inside of the pillar Finally, his expression was stiff when he felt a shter sized box that had been secured inside the pillar
He then felt around it again to realize it was probably taped on the surface inside
Reinitz, “…”
Taking out his arainst the pillar and reached his other hand inside Using the army knife, he cut away the tape and forcefully pried the shter sized ite inside?!” Gu Nianzhi was also very shocked, but smiled happily and said, “Hurry up and check what’s inside!”
Reinitz looked at what he had thought was the lighter in his hand Precisely speaking, it was not a lighter, but a shter
The tin box was secured by an even more exquisite little lock
Reinitz checked all sides of the box before re a tiny tool from his army knife He inserted it into the keyhole of the lock
His hand cautiously made small movements inside the keyhole as he attempted to find where it met
Finally, the tiny lock clicked open
Gu Nianzhi, “…”
He actually kne to pick locks…
Reinitz turned around to see her shocked look He was feeling overjoyed and couldn’t hold back anyive her forehead a quick peck “Thank you, Cereus”
He Zhichu was still hiding close by and witnessed this from his binoculars He couldn’t take it anymore
“Motherfcker!” He Zhichu thren the binoculars once again He grabbed his gun with one hand and slammed thesill with the other as he jumped down
“Attention everyone! Attention everyone! The target is in the corridor square! The target is in the corridor square!”
He Zhichu gathered his bloodthirsty subordinates and rushed towards where Reinitz and Gu Nianzhi were standing
