The trail was not long, and soon they reached the end of a dead end.
"Wait here for ten seconds," Reynolds said.
Ten seconds later, Reynolds led everyone back again, stopped at the entrance of the trail, and waited for another ten seconds.
Next, when they walked forward again and turned a corner, they saw that the end of the path was no longer a wall, but a long staircase leading down.
Nice: "It's exactly the same as the situation from the first to the second floor... I didn't expect that when you go downstairs, you have to go back. Is this a trap?"
Reynolds scratched his head: "I don't know if it's an agency, maybe it is? Anyway, if you want to go to the next floor, you have to walk like this. The same goes for the third to fourth floors."
At this time, Angel, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Actually, there are no stairs directly connecting each floor of the laboratory."
"Hey, what do you mean?"
Angel: "The first floor to the second floor, and the second floor to the third floor, all exist independently. There are no direct roads connecting them."
"Then what's going on with the trail we're on now?"
Angel: "I call this path the tentacles, the tentacles of the huge laboratory. Or, it can also be called the external corridor."
Angel's words made Kanter and Nice think of something at the same time.
Before entering the base laboratory, they used their mental power to sense the general shape of the entire laboratory. At that time, they discovered that the laboratory was surrounded by square "tentacles".
Now it seems that the trail they are on now is actually in the "tentacles".
The reason why I went back and forth here and waited for twenty seconds before the entrance to the third floor appeared was because the tentacle was moving. It moved from the independent second floor to the entrance to the third floor.
"So that's it... Then if someone finds us in the tentacles, wouldn't they be able to cut off the tentacles directly and we would be buried underground?" Nice said.
Kanter: "Can you please stop talking?"
Angel said sternly: "The situation mentioned by the Nice Wizard has a high probability of occurring. The laboratory does this probably for insurance purposes. If something goes wrong, the tentacles can be cut off directly to make the layers completely independent.
.”
Because of this, they are actually not safe.
Once someone discovers their intrusion, they can completely cut off the tentacles between each layer. If they want to leave, they can only attack the laboratory, and they will inevitably suffer a counterattack from the entire magic array.
Thinking of this, Nice had a slight bad feeling in his heart.
"The people who built this laboratory must be suffering from delusions of being persecuted, and they made it so harsh." After Nice finished speaking, he couldn't help but curse.
In order to prevent the premonition from coming true, we must now help Angel find the main control node as soon as possible. Only by finding the main control node and having certain authority over the magic energy array can we not be restricted by others.
Thinking of this, Nice quickly stepped onto the stairs to the third floor.
Everyone followed suit.
After arriving on the third floor, Angel immediately observed the direction of the magic patterns around him through the vision of the authority eye, and guided Nice and others to the sub-control node on the third floor.
As for the showroom, there is no rush for this...the crisis comes first, and personal gains and losses can be put later.
Everyone moved in a hurry on the third floor, ignoring the rooms they encountered along the way. Their goal was only the sub-control node.
However, something unexpected happened on the way.
They encountered blockers.
This was the first time they met a human being since they entered the laboratory.
Not just one person, but three people. Moreover, Reynolds knew these three people.
"Ya, Rin, and... Kama." Reynolds stared blankly at the people who came, and softly spoke their names.
However, the other party obviously didn't agree with the name, his eyes were cold and he didn't react at all.
Judging from the appearance, these three people are all men. They are wearing silver-white base uniforms. They stand tall and look quite imposing.
There are also numerical symbols on their faces, but their numerical tattoos are different from No. 03 or the hunting sequence. Instead, they are similar to Reynolds.
On the left is an X and on the right is a number.
The three of them are X5, X9 and X2 from left to right.
When they saw this "X", everyone already understood that what appeared in front of them was the same experimental living body as Reynolds.
Reynolds said before that nine experimental living subjects like him eventually survived. In the process of performing tasks, collecting intelligence, and assassinating people over the years, four more people died. Excluding Reynolds, there are only four people left now.
