Su Qiong frowned slightly. "That's possible. Let's not act rashly just yet; I'll probe it with sound waves first." With that, she brought her jade flute close to the compartment and played a short, low melody. The sound waves drifted slowly toward the compartment, but upon contact, they did not trigger any unusual response.
