Su Chen carefully examined the back of dusa's head.
The statue was so lifelike that if not for the hard and cold touch,
Su Chen would have thought it was a real human head.
Except that the hair on this person's head was all snakes.
After learning that this statue was dusa's head, Su Chen specifically looked up information.
There are many legends about dusa.
dusa, also known as dousa or dusa, is the snake-haired monster in Greek mythology and one of the three Gorgon sisters, living at the place where Oceanus ets the land of night.
Her father was Phorcys, son of Gaia and Pontus, and her mother was Ceto, his sister.
A widely spread legend says that Poseidon was attracted to dusa's beauty and did sothing unspeakable to her in Athena's temple, which enraged Athena. Athena couldn't punish Poseidon, so she turned dusa into a terrifying snake-haired monster, making any man who looked into her eyes instantly turn to stone.
If this legend is true,
it ans that,
it's not seeing dusa's face that causes petrification,
but rather, seeing dusa's eyes that causes petrification.
To verify this hypothesis,
Su Chen had Gu Niwei'er bring a kitten.
Then, he covered dusa statue's eyes with a black cloth.
Then let the kitten see dusa's face.
A few minutes passed, and the kitten remained lively.
Then, Su Chen uncovered the black cloth from dusa's eyes.
The kitten saw dusa's eyes.
And the kitten quickly turned into a stone cat!
It seems indeed that dusa's eyes have the power to petrify.
Though now Su Chen knew it was dusa's eyes that worked,
even knowing it was dusa's eyes and not her face,
it didn't help in breaking dusa's curse.
What Su Chen needed to do was to find out how to restore people petrified by dusa's eyes to normal.
Or rather, to know if those people can be restored to normal.
Although there are many legends about dusa online,
none of those legends ntion how to break dusa's curse.
Su Chen put the black cloth back in place.
He placed dusa's head back into the box.
This thing, if used properly, is more terrifying than a nuclear weapon.
It cannot fall into the wrong hands.
"So, have you thought of a way?" Gu Niwei'er looked at Su Chen.
Su Chen shook his head.
"Oh no, this is troubleso. I told them the eting would last three days. But if they don't see those elders in three days, they'll definitely think I did sothing to them. What should I do!" Gu Niwei'er said, tapping her forehead.
Su Chen was also speechless.
You said you wanted to play around, why not just use so kittens or puppies?
Why on earth test on people?
If they can't be restored,
how will you explain?
But if they really can't be restored,
Su Chen also couldn't explain.
There's no way to explain to Tang Zhengguo.
But this matter cannot be rushed.
"Perhaps, she might know sothing about dusa." Gu Niwei'er suddenly said.
"Who?"
"I'll take you!" Gu Niwei'er said, grabbing Su Chen's hand.
In the next second,
Su Chen and Gu Niwei'er appeared in a very archaically decorated room.
Instantly, six eyes t.
"Ah!"
Then, a high-pitched scream echoed in the room.
A few minutes later.
"Uh, Wendi, s-sorry, I didn't know you weren't ready..." Gu Niwei'er said awkwardly.
Sitting across from Gu Niwei'er was a Western woman.
Her appearance was slightly inferior to Gu Niwei'er's, but still very beautiful.
Especially her eyes, which were very special.
Two pupils, and they were of different colors.
One pupil was blue.
As blue as the sky.
The other pupil was red, as red as blood.
Having different colored pupils, Su Chen had seen before.
But a person having two colors in one pupil,
Su Chen was seeing for the first ti.
The Western woman nad Wendi said with a grim face, "How many tis have I told you, when you co to my house, knock before you co in, don't just co in, and you even brought... a man!"
If Gu Niwei'er had co alone, it wouldn't have mattered much.
But this ti, Gu Niwei'er actually brought a man.
"Ahem, Wendi, don't be mad, he's actually blind," Gu Niwei'er said.
"Yes, I'm blind, I didn't see anything just now," Su Chen quickly agreed.
"Do you take for a fool?" Wendi rolled her eyes.
Fortunately, Western won are generally more open-minded.
Wendi didn't pursue this matter.
"So, what brings you here?" Wendi asked.
Gu Niwei'er said, "Let introduce you first, this is Wendi, a Harvard history professor, the youngest female professor."
Then pointing at Su Chen, she said, "This is my friend, Su Chen."
Wendi smirked without humor and said, "Sure it's your friend, not your man?"
"Of course just a friend!" Gu Niwei'er said in a fluster.
"Gu Niwei'er, have you forgotten our agreent? Whoever gets a boyfriend first would..." Wendi narrowed her eyes at Gu Niwei'er.
"Would do what?" Su Chen asked curiously.
