Su Chen carefully examined the back of Medusa'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 Medusa's head, Su Chen specifically looked up information.

There are many legends about Medusa.

Medusa, also known as Medousa or Medusa, is the snake-haired monster in Greek mythology and one of the three Gorgon sisters, living at the place where Oceanus meets 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 Medusa's beauty and did something unspeakable to her in Athena's temple, which enraged Athena. Athena couldn't punish Poseidon, so she turned Medusa into a terrifying snake-haired monster, making any man who looked into her eyes instantly turn to stone.

If this legend is true,

it means that,

it's not seeing Medusa's face that causes petrification,

but rather, seeing Medusa's eyes that causes petrification.

To verify this hypothesis,

Su Chen had Gu Niwei'er bring a kitten.

Then, he covered Medusa statue's eyes with a black cloth.

Then let the kitten see Medusa's face.

A few minutes passed, and the kitten remained lively.

Then, Su Chen uncovered the black cloth from Medusa's eyes.

The kitten saw Medusa's eyes.

And the kitten quickly turned into a stone cat!

It seems indeed that Medusa's eyes have the power to petrify.

Though now Su Chen knew it was Medusa's eyes that worked,

even knowing it was Medusa's eyes and not her face,

it didn't help in breaking Medusa's curse.

What Su Chen needed to do was to find out how to restore people petrified by Medusa's eyes to normal.

Or rather, to know if those people can be restored to normal.

Although there are many legends about Medusa online,

none of those legends mention how to break Medusa's curse.

Su Chen put the black cloth back in place.

He placed Medusa'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 troublesome. I told them the meeting would last three days. But if they don't see those elders in three days, they'll definitely think I did something 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 some 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 something about Medusa." 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 met.

"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 time.

The Western woman named Wendi said with a grim face, "How many times have I told you, when you come to my house, knock before you come in, don't just come in, and you even brought... a man!"

If Gu Niwei'er had come alone, it wouldn't have mattered much.

But this time, 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 me for a fool?" Wendi rolled her eyes.

Fortunately, Western women are generally more open-minded.

Wendi didn't pursue this matter.

"So, what brings you here?" Wendi asked.

Gu Niwei'er said, "Let me 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 agreement? Whoever gets a boyfriend first would..." Wendi narrowed her eyes at Gu Niwei'er.

"Would do what?" Su Chen asked curiously.
