"It seems that the key to opening the God's Kingdom lies on the scale in Anubis' hand!"
Guhan looked at the scale in Anubis' hand. It was a rather simple and primitive scale. There was a plate on each end of a cross. That was all.
At first glance, one would feel that the scale was rough and frighteningly irregular. Even if one did not place anything on it, one end would still sink.
However, if one observed the scale carefully, one would realize that the two plates were perfectly on the same level. There was not a single difference in height. This was sufficient to show that the scale was in a state of absolute balance.
"I only need to find two objects of the same weight and place them on the scale?
Isn't that a little too simple? "Yi Qing felt that this request was too simple. It was unbelievably simple.
"Do you think this is simple and easy to accomplish?"
Guhan's tone was full of ridicule. "Can you tell me what we can find that has the same quality?"
"This …" Yi Qing subconsciously felt that he could say a lot of things. He just needed to place two identical objects on the two ends of the scale.
However, when the words were at the tip of his tongue, he could not say anything for a while.
It was impossible to find two objects that had the same quality in this world. Even if it was the same object produced on an assembly line, there would be slight differences in quality. It was impossible for them to be exactly the same.
Moreover, they were in ruins. It was impossible to find two objects that had the same quality.
However, Yi Qing did not want to admit that he could not find it. When he entered the door, he had already been shown off by Guhan's intelligence. Yi Qing was unwilling to accept this. He was in a state of hoping that he could turn the tables.
Therefore, after thinking hard for a while, Yi Qing's mind flashed, and an idea came to him.
Yi Qing grabbed a handful of hair from his head and handed it to Guhan. He smiled and said, "Come, use this!
Pick one that is the same length. "
Needless to say, Yi Qing's hair was indeed a good idea. This was because hair grew according to the same genes. The thickness and density were about the same. As long as the length was the same, it would be almost identical.
More importantly, the hair was light enough. A strand of hair weighed about 0.0004 grams. Two strands of hair with the same length, thickness, and density would probably have a difference in weight of about one ten-millionth of a gram. Such a difference was impossible to measure even with an accurate scale.
Although Guhan still had some doubts about hair, there was nothing more appropriate than hair.
Therefore, Gu Han picked out two strands of Yi Qing's hair of the same length, and placed them on the two ends of the scale … As a result, the left side of the scale suddenly sank down, as if it was being pressed down by a strand of hair, as if it was weighed by a thousand tons.
"F * ck, what kind of scale is this?!" Yi Qing's heart suffered a heavy blow.
"It's useless. Lord Anubis' scale is specially used to measure the weight of good and evil. It can even measure an illusory weight like good and evil, let alone two strands of hair," Assam said proudly, as if the scale was his.
"It seems that it is impossible for real items to pass the test of this scale. As long as there are two items, they will never be exactly the same in terms of quality!" Yi Qing said thoughtfully after hearing Assam's words.
"But, if we don't use something that exists, what should we use to measure it?"
Yi Qing pulled at his hair in pain. "Are we really going to find some good and evil thing to measure?"
"It's useless. Even if you find something as illusory as good and evil, you can't be sure if good and evil are the same … In fact, the possibility of two people having the same good and evil throughout their lives is much smaller than the possibility of having the same quality." Guhan's words made Yi Qing a little listless. The whole thing seemed to have reached a dead end.
Suddenly, Guhan asked Assam, "Assam, does it mean that as long as the scale is balanced, the gate to the Divine Kingdom can be opened?"
"Yes … but I'm not sure, because that's the literal meaning of the text. I don't know if God Anubis has any deeper meaning."
"That's fine, then it's easy. I have an idea!"
Guhan smiled and took out a small bottle from his dimensional pocket. He fiddled with the scale for a while before returning to Yi Qing's side.
"Wait five minutes, let's try again!" Guhan said with a smile, as if he had found a way to balance the scale.
"Lord Military Governor, what did you do on the scale just now?" Yi Qing asked curiously.
"I'm just keeping you in suspense. You'll know in five minutes!" Guhan smiled but did not answer. Yi Qing had no choice but to wait with Guhan for five minutes.
After five minutes, Guhan, who had been calculating the time, finally moved. He brought Yi Qing to the side of the scale and said to her, "Come, sit on it!"
Yi Qing was stunned. She confirmed with Guhan that she did not hear wrongly … Yes, she did not hear wrongly. Guhan wanted Yi Qing to sit on a tray of the scale.
Could it be that Lord Military Governor found something as heavy as me?
That's impossible, right?
Although Yi Qing's heart was filled with guesses and suspicions, she still obediently listened to Gu Han's words and sat on the tray.
I wonder what Lord Military Governor is using to balance his weight! Yi Qing silently guessed. Could it be that Lord Military Governor has some sort of duplication skill?
There are so many types of Swordmaidens in the world. It's not impossible for Swordmaidens to have the ability to duplicate!
Just as Yi Qing was guessing what method Guhan would use to find something as heavy as her, Guhan sat on the tray himself.
Yes, that's right. Guhan sat on the other side of the scale all by himself.
Oh my god, what's going on?
Yi Qing would never believe that Guhan, who was a head taller and fatter than her, would weigh the same as her.
In the end, something shocking happened. The scale, which was so sensitive that it could even detect the difference of two strands of hair, did not move at all. It was as if Guhan and Yi Qing's weight were exactly the same!
"What's going on?"
Yi Qing and Assam were once again bewildered like they were at the gate. They couldn't understand why the scales didn't change.
While the two of them were still in a daze, the statue of Anubis began to move. The staff fell from his hand and smashed onto the ground.
The ground shook, and then a circular opening suddenly appeared on the ground. From the opening, a faint red light shone out.
"Assam, is this the entrance to God's Kingdom?" Guhan asked Assam.
What else could Assam do? He could only nod his head blankly. He could not understand how Guhan was able to maintain the balance of the scale.
"Lord Military Governor, how did you do it?"
Assam's confusion did not last long. Yi Qing could not hold back her curiosity and rushed to ask Guhan.
"Use this!"
Gu Han passed a small bottle of something to Yi Qing. Yi Qing took a closer look and saw that on the bottle's label, there were four numbers written in standard Song script: "1080".
Below the number 1080, there was a line of extremely small words: Instant Strength Adhesive.
"What is this?"
Forgive Yi Qing for being used to living in a barren place like the desert. He didn't even know what adhesive was.
"It can be considered a type of glue!
It is an evolved version of 502 from before the apocalypse. It has an extremely strong adhesive ability. Once it is stuck, even two trains won't be able to pull it apart, "replied Guhan. This 1080 was actually a descendant of 502.
"Glue!"
Yi Qing once again felt the crushing of her intelligence. No wonder Guhan had used this bottle to fiddle with the scale. It turned out that he had used glue on the fulcrum of the scale … With the powerful adhesive effect of 1080, even if two elephants were to sit on the two ends of the scale, they would not be able to move the scale.
"Is that so …" Assam wanted to cry, but no tears came out. He began to doubt his own life. He felt that he had lived for more than 200 years in vain. This was the pain of having his intelligence raped. Assam would rather have his body raped, or even his soul raped, but why did his intelligence have to be raped?
Yi Qing's behavior was much more relaxed compared to when she was at the gate. She had already gotten used to Guhan's intellect. At the same time, she felt a deep admiration for Guhan.
Women, regardless of whether they were the timid and helpless type or Wu Zetian, all of them yearned for men who could conquer them … It was the same for men. If they met a woman who could completely conquer them, they would become bronchitis.
Facts had proven that Guhan had completely conquered Yi Qing, be it in terms of strength or intelligence. Yi Qing's heart began to palpitate. She thought that if she could be with Guhan forever, then she would be able to live freely, safely, and happily for the rest of her life!
Alright, enough with the idle chatter. Since the gate of the God's Kingdom was open, Guhan and Yi Qing entered the God's Kingdom without any fear.
Of course, although Assam was very unwilling, he was still dragged in by Guhan.
Not to mention, Assam had given Guhan a lot of help and hints along the way. This fellow was useful!
…
Anubis was the God of Death in charge of Hell. It was only natural that the God's Kingdom of Anubis should be like the Hell described in the legends, with flames, lava, and corpses everywhere.
But what the hell was this place? Why was the God's Kingdom of Anubis a boundless ice field filled with bones and flesh?
