Chapter 187 You’re a Liar
At the same time, both Taylor and Bob took a few steps backward as well.
They were apprehensive about the Cosmic Octagonal Nexus disk as nobody knew what might suddenly emerge from it!
The special forces soldier standing in front of the stone door quickly prepared himself.
He was aware that a long knife was hidden within the disk. If anything happened, he’d be the first to dodge
This time, things seemed to be going more smoothly.
Henry moved a few pieces forward and saw that the situation was getting better. He took another few more steps and was almost close to unraveling the puzzle.
But in the next moment, the situation took a drastic turn. One move changed the entire
scenario.
Henry was utterly stunned.
At this moment, he realized that he wasn’t fully prepared to solve it.
Although there were only 28 constellations, there were hundreds of possibilities that could happen!
He had to be cautious in making every move!
Henry had always considered himself knowledgeable in this field. He had decoded similar Cosmic Octagonal Nexus puzzles before and thought this would be equally easy to solve.
However, he realized he had been careless.
“What do I do next?” The soldier sensed something was amiss and immediately inquired.
To dispel his concerns, Henry had no choice but to pretend as if nothing was wrong and continue directing.
When the soldier saw the subtle change in Henry’s expression, he had a feeling that something bad might’ve happened. He got ready to dodge.
As anticipated, the White Tiger constellation tore the Azure Dragon constellation apart!
They failed once again!
Henry’s face darkened as he immediately bent and retreated a few steps.
The constellation chart was becoming increasingly hard to read!
Sensing that something was amiss, the soldier immediately turned to escape
But the unexpected occurred in the next moment.
This time, the long knife didn’t swing out

Instead, faint glints appeared on the walls.
Hundreds of arrows swiftly shot toward the soldier, killing him!
Witnessing this, everyone’s expression froze in horror. They gasped and began to retreat hastily.
No one had anticipated such hidden traps!
Everyone present was shaken to the core.
They grabbed their flashlights and began looking around, fearing more unforeseen events.
Nobody knew what other traps might spring up!
At this moment, the Cosmic Octagonal Nexus disk reverted to its original state.
“Mr. Shaw, why did we fail again? Weren’t you confident this time?” Bob was infuriated as he
lost another comrade.
“I didn’t expect it. I was careless just now!” Henry said, somewhat embarrassed.
The ever–changing puzzle was beyond his control.
“Because of your carelessness, I’ve lost another soldier! If you can’t do it, we’ll get someone else!” Bob impatiently retorted.
“I’ll be more cautious next time, just wait!” Henry swallowed hard and reassured him.
However, the soldiers felt that Henry was unreliable as he was flustered and panicking
They felt that he was playing games with them and they would bear the consequences!
“Mr. Taylor, I think his title is probably fake. We should leave first and discuss this matter in- depth,” Bob urgently suggested.
“What did you say? When I was in my prime, you were probably still nursing! If I can’t solve this, nobody in this world can!”
