"I'm not used to the lack of warning from the roar," Ness muttered.
Kanter: "Speaking of the roar, I remember that the last time there was a roar, there were obvious beasts' screams mixed in."
Nice: "I also noticed that the lair they explored is indeed the lair of sea beasts. I just don't know if our guess is correct, whether it is really the descendant of Sheets... Hey, mascot, don't you say you have a job?
Why can't I see any personnel? If I can catch one person and ask, maybe I can get the answer."
"The staff are usually nearby. I don't know what happened. Maybe they went to the lower level?" Reynolds' voice came from the psychic belt. Regarding the mascot's nickname, he was already very calm. Anyway,
If you can't resist, you can only accept it.
"Then go to the lower level. However, I remember you said that there is also a showroom for soul weapons on the first floor? Anyway, we have already made it this far. Let's go and have a look." It can be seen from Nice's slightly excited tone that he obviously
Not just want to 'see'.
Angel listened to the conversation about the psychic belt for a while, and then blocked it again, because it was basically a monologue and self-pleasure by Niss alone. Instead of wasting time listening to his chatter, it would be better to study the magic pattern.
After the air wave disappeared, Angel once again immersed himself in the study of magic patterns.
On the other side, Reynolds went to the showroom on the first floor at Nice's strong request.
Along the way, they passed by the experimental center, storage room and material warehouse. Niss went in and looked at every room. His goal was not just to "see", it would definitely be better if he could take it away; but, in the end, he still
Just "take a look" because there is really nothing on the first floor that he can take notice of.
According to Reynolds, there are only two most valuable things on the first floor: the staff and the showroom.
Staff are the core of the laboratory. Even the first-level staff will be involved in a lot of core-related research, and their value is unquestionable.
As for showrooms, although they are available on every floor and the value increases layer by layer, this does not mean that the showroom on the first floor has no value.
Like Reynolds' soul weapon, it was originally a showroom. The value of the soul weapon does not lie in itself, but in the person who uses it.
Reynolds led the way, while Nice walked and observed the surroundings.
I had always heard Reynolds say that there were no dangers inside the laboratory. There were mechanisms but they could be avoided as long as they were careful. This gave Nice the illusion that the laboratory was not very dangerous.
But when he actually walked in the laboratory, Nice realized that Reynolds' words were purely a personal deviation of his understanding.
Reynolds has lived in the laboratory all year round and has become accustomed to everything here, and many agencies have permission to identify. Reynolds has basically never triggered the agencies here, so his knowledge is limited.
They are now following Reynolds in the laboratory, and it seems that no mechanism has been triggered, but this is just because Reynolds led the way. If they had just barged in without a guide, Ness believes that he would not be able to please him now.
As an experienced wizard, Nice has seen several dangerous traps along the way.
The danger is nothing more. The most important thing is that the interior of the laboratory is not as spacious as imagined. Although it is connected in all directions and has many spacious rooms - such as the experimental center and storage room, most of the places are narrow and cramped corridors.
Along the way, they spent 80% of their time in narrow passages.
These passages are all mechanical structures, covered with magic patterns and inlaid with energy pipes.
Ness's knowledge of magic patterns was not very good, but he could still see that if they triggered the magic patterns in such a passage, they would suffer backlash from the entire magic array.
Therefore, when walking in a narrow passage, they cannot attack the surrounding walls. This makes their safe passage area even narrower.
Moreover, in such a narrow and complicated passage, if you accidentally take the wrong path, you will end up in a dead end and encounter a mechanism that can destroy everything.
If this is not dangerous, Nice doesn't know what is.
It can only be said that they are lucky. With Reynolds as a rebel, they can move around the laboratory relatively safely and unimpeded.
After walking for about ten minutes in the passage filled with green lights, red lights, mechanical valves and energy tubes, they finally arrived at the showroom.
The door of the showroom was closed tightly, and the two huge steel doors blocked the route. The nameplate of the showroom was displayed directly above the door, and it lit up with a normal white light.
It is worth mentioning that, in addition to the normal general text, the characters on the nameplate in the showroom also include tadpole-like Quest World characters.
If it were in other places, faced with a closed secret room, the first intrusion method Nice would choose would definitely be soul infiltration, but it is different here. The laboratory is almost full of magic patterns. These magic patterns are integrated and have protection.
The role of the energy body.
There are also similar magic patterns flashing on these two steel doors. In other words, it is also connected with the magic patterns in the entire laboratory. Unless the magic patterns in the entire laboratory are destroyed, if you want the soul diamond
Entering is basically impossible.
Nice turned to look at Reynolds: "Is there a way to get in?"
Reynolds hesitated for a moment and said: "The last time I came with Nausicaa, I could enter, but now, I don't know if I can enter without my body, and I don't know if I have permission.
Blocked. Let me give it a try first."
Reynolds stepped forward, took a deep breath, and looked very cautious.
But this solemn atmosphere was easily broken by Nice, who silently said in his heart: "Mascot, don't forget that you are a soul body now. I'm sure you can't breathe. You
What I breathe is loneliness."
Reynolds almost couldn't hold back. The soul power in his soul body fluctuated for a while before he suppressed it forcibly. He ignored Nice's complaints beside him and stretched out his translucent hand towards the steel door.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The moment Reynolds' soul hand touched the door, the magic pattern arranged on the door immediately reacted.
The energy flow began to flow towards the nameplate above the door.
The nameplate with the characters "Showroom" written on it also changed from white light to yellow light. At the same time, a mechanical eye drilled out of the nameplate.
The appearance of the Mechanical Eye is a bit like the Magic Eye of the Sky Mechanical City, except that it lacks the flying wings and has a few silver tentacles like spider legs. These tentacles allow the Mechanical Eye to smoothly cling to the nameplate.
After the mechanical eye appeared, the one eye did not look at anyone else, but stared directly at Reynolds.
Reynolds felt his whole body tense and his heart beating faster - of course, he forgot that he didn't have a heartbeat yet.
After about two or three seconds, the mechanical eye returned to the inside of the nameplate. At the same time, the nameplate that was flashing yellow light turned into a flashing green light.
When I heard a "clicking" sound coming from my ears.
"Okay, the door is unlocked." Reynolds also let out a long sigh of relief.
"That was that just now?" Ness looked at the position of the nameplate curiously. When the mechanical eye came out, he didn't feel anything, but then the mechanical eye released a very interesting ripple, covering Reynolds.
, and the ripples contained a soul power, which made Nice a little curious.
"The butler of the showroom, or the authority eye."
Almost every showroom has a mechanical eye-style butler, which controls the authority to enter and exit the showroom. All people entering and exiting the showroom will be inspected by it. The yellow light indicates that the verification is in progress, and the green light indicates that the verification has been passed.
Red light indicates verification failure and alert mode is activated.
Nice: "You have become a soul, can it also recognize you?"
Reynolds scratched his head: "I actually don't know, but I once heard a saying that the authority eye does not identify people, but soul marks. Now it seems that it may be true."
If the permission eye determines access permission by identifying the soul mark, then even if Reynolds becomes a soul, he will not be restricted by this. Because the soul mark itself is engraved on the soul.
Right now, Reynolds' soul body still has two marks, X and No. 1, on his face.
"Identify the soul mark. The person who tinkered with this thing probably had the involvement of the force in the Quest world." Nice thought secretly. However, he still knew nothing about that force and could only guess secretly in his heart.
I didn’t think too deeply about it, the most important thing was that the door opened.
The magic pattern on the steel door has been unlocked, and with a rumble, the door slowly opened.
It was different from the other rooms they had gone to before. The moment the door opened, white steam with biting frosty air rolled in from the crack in the door.
When the doors on both sides were completely opened, everyone could see the scene inside.
The showroom has a larger space than the experimental center, and is as empty as a small or medium-sized square.
There are large and small metal platforms everywhere inside, and on each platform, a special transparent container is displayed.
Because the temperature inside was extremely low and white frost mist was everywhere, it was not clear what was inside the transparent container for a while.
But looking at the overall layout of the showroom, it reminded Nice of the cave that Angel discovered in the Central Empire.
There are stone platforms all around the cave altar, and there are similar containers on the stone platforms. The situation here is very similar to that in the cave, except here, the stone platform is replaced by a metal display platform, and the appearance is more refined.
If it is really consistent with the situation in the cave, then what is contained in the transparent container may be those... organs.
When Nice was thinking this, the white mist gradually disappeared on a small platform closest to the gate due to the flow of outside air.
The frost mist on the transparent container also began to dissipate, revealing the true contents.
That's a head.
To be precise, it was half the head soaked in the yellowish liquid.
From the round nose, the dark rough skin, and the big ears like cattail fans, it can be seen that this half of the head is probably from a "pig".
In other words, a pig-shaped humanoid?
This kind of humanoid with a certain beast form almost does not exist in the Southern Territory. However, in the Druna plane, there are quite a lot of them. After all, the outer gods in this plane are in the form of beasts.
"It's really an organ for transplantation." Nice walked on the stage and carefully observed the pig's head. He found that its skin looked rough from a distance, but up close it was not that rough. The surface of its skin was covered with very...
Each of the tiny black holes is absorbing energy fluid from the outside.
Pig people - let's call them pig people.
The pig's ears are carved with some primitive-style totems, which vaguely point to some inexplicable existence. It looks like it makes Nice feel faintly heartbroken.
"This is a believer of an alien god from the Druna plane. He has been baptized many times. If there is a correct transplantation method, he will have a very powerful increase in power." The speaker was Kanter. As a well-informed scholar,
He recognized the origin of this pig man at a glance.
"That's what I say, but would anyone really choose to transplant a pig head?"
Ness cursed and stretched out his hand, ready to take the container away.
No matter whether the pig head is good or not, its value is definitely not low. After all, the ones that can be placed in the showroom have been successfully integrated into the soul weapon.
However, just when Nice stretched out his hand, Reynolds said in the psychic belt: "Sir, the showroom has its own protection system. The number of displayed items fluctuates occasionally, which is no problem, but if there are too many missing items,
Might put showrooms on alert."
"You mean, we can't take more?" Nice looked dissatisfied.
Reynolds explained: "I don't know the specific situation. This is what I heard from people who studied the sequence."
Once upon a time, Reynolds also entered the showroom and often saw items coming in and out of the showroom. At that time, he thought that the items in the showroom could be taken away at will. Later, a person who studied the sequence told him that the items in the showroom were always taken away.
There is a daily direct withdrawal amount, which is convenient for researchers. Once the direct withdrawal amount exceeds the limit, the showroom will enter an alert state.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If you want to take the items in the showroom, the people in the first three sequences must make the decision.
This is actually a protective mechanism in the laboratory.
It can not only facilitate the work of ordinary researchers, but also avoid unlimited losses when loopholes occur.
Nice looked puzzled: "Is there such a restriction?"
On the other side, Kanter motioned for Nice to look at the metal platform. Before, Nice had been paying attention to the pig's head in the container, but ignored the others. Now when he took a closer look, he discovered that there was actually a magic pattern connection between the metal platform and the container.
In other words, once the container is moved, it may really cause the magic energy array to counterattack.
Ness couldn't help complaining in the psychic belt: "This is really unfriendly."
Others remained silent.
"Then what should we do now? Can't we take this pig's head?"
Reynolds: "As long as it doesn't exceed the limit, you can take it. Once you get close to the limit, the permission eye will appear and flash a yellow light to remind you. Don't continue to take it at that time... But it's best not to let the permission eye remind you, because
This may be noticed by those still in the laboratory."
Although the combatants may have left, the staff are still there, and their authority is not low. If they are alert in advance, some treasures in the showroom below may be hidden by them in advance. What's more, they can directly order the authority eye to close the display.
If you don't have access to the room, you may not be able to collect anything later.
"Then when will the authority eye appear?"
"Generally speaking, if there are more than three items, it may trigger the permission eye prompt."
Although he was helpless, this was the reality. In order not to make the next journey difficult, Nice could only suppress his thoughts of collecting everything.
As for this pig's head... Nice will not let it go for now.
It's better to look at other displays before making a decision.
