The Frog in the Treasure Chest
Irving and James stood silently, staring at the treasure chest for a while, as if both of them were trying to find a clue to the chest's key.
Wendy, standing not far away, was slightly speechless.
"Didn't you both say that finding the treasure chest was already extremely lucky? Since even Irving can't detect the presence of a key, let's not dwell on it any longer."
Wendy's words had no effect.
Irving and James continued to fix their eyes on the chest.
After a moment, Irving slowly said, "I have a feeling there's a living creature inside the chest."
As he finished speaking, Irving tapped the chest with his finger.
Wendy hesitated slightly before asking, "If I'm not mistaken, the chest has been sealed in this underground area for a very long time. If there really is a living creature inside, its lifespan must be extraordinarily long."
