After listening to Angel's explanation that was so concise and condensed into one sentence, both Nice and Kanter fell silent.
"The information in the psychic tether cannot be transmitted because the magic energy array has the effect of isolating information between layers. I found the sub-control node of the magic energy array and temporarily turned off this isolation effect."
This is Angel's explanation.
It sounds like just looking for someone at random, just find the switch and press it, and the current situation will appear. But Nice and Kanter are not stupid, and their rich experience is enough for them to understand the hugeness and complexity of this magic energy array.
Angel can find the sub-control nodes so quickly and even control them in a short time. This is completely a manifestation of his profound foundation of magic patterns. It would be difficult for others, even some magic pattern masters, to succeed.
.Because the magic energy array in this base laboratory is not only magic patterns, but also involves the field of mechanical alchemy. Only someone like Angel, who has a deep understanding of magic patterns and is also an alchemist master, can do this.
General level.
"Angel's growth rate is simply beyond my imagination." Kanter sighed.
"Yes, such a good seedling, why did Sanders get the better of him in the first place?" Nice said with envy.
Neither of them used psychic belts when they were talking at this time, so Angel didn't hear their emotions. But even if he heard them, he wouldn't care. Greya said this almost every day.
Angel is currently chatting with Reynolds about their current situation
Faced with Angel's concern, Reynolds was slightly moved. After all, the two wizards around him were somewhat unreliable. So when Angel asked about their situation, Reynolds did not hide it and sent them down to the second floor.
Afterwards, what happened was explained in detail.
The situation on the second floor was roughly the same as on the first floor. No one was encountered along the way, including the experimental center, which was also empty.
So, Nice planned to follow the first-floor routine and go to the showroom first.
On the way to the showroom, they were attacked.
The attacker was a shadow demon.
As soon as the Shadow Demon appeared, it rushed towards Reynolds with all its teeth and claws. Reynolds' soul was invaded by the power of the Shadow Demon in a short time. In order to quickly save Reynolds, Kanter directly shot the Shadow Demon in the head.
This led to the conversation they had in the psychic tether.
"I didn't meet anyone along the way. The only ones I met were attackers... Have you been discovered?" Angel asked after listening.
This is actually a question in Nice's mind: "I also find it a bit strange. Reynolds himself said that we did not trigger the mechanism. But the Shadow Demon still appeared, and judging from its movements, it was a sneak attack. In other words,
, it’s ambushing us.”
"Have we really been discovered? Is it because the hunting sequence was triggered on the first floor?"
After Nice finished speaking, everyone's expressions were a little solemn, no one spoke, and the Psychic Tie fell into a brief silence.
After more than ten seconds, Kanter was the first to break the silence and said: "It's just speculation at the moment, but I have an idea."
After a pause, Kanter continued: "Since Angel is already at the sub-control node on the first floor, can you find out whether we have touched the magic energy array?"
Nice's eyes lit up at this time. What Kanter said was indeed a method.
Angel: "Okay, wait a moment."
It seems that Angel originally contacted them with a similar intention. They may be a little constrained in their actions in the magic energy array. Angel can help them avoid danger to a certain extent through his understanding of the magic energy array.
After a while, Angel's voice resounded in the psychic belt: "No, you didn't trigger the magic energy array on the first floor. As for the second floor, I don't know... By the way, I was checking the sub-control nodes just now.
When I was there, I discovered an interesting block.”
Nice: "What interesting block?"
Angel: "You will know later."
After speaking, Angel's voice disappeared from the psychic belt. No matter how Nice called, Angel did not respond. Apparently Angel had blocked information from the outside world again.
After failing to contact Angel, Nice simply gave up and turned to look at Kanter: "Sir Ruye, what do you think?"
Kanter: "After entering the laboratory, the only place where the magic energy array may be triggered is when encountering the hunting sequence in the first-floor exhibition room. Since Angel has confirmed that the magic energy array is not triggered on the first floor, it is possible that we will be discovered.
Sex, it shouldn’t be big.”
"Moreover, Angel's confirmation also allowed us to rule out one important point: there is no one on the first and second floors, so it should have nothing to do with us sneaking into the laboratory."
Nice also nodded, Kanter was right, and he agreed: "But how should we explain the Shadow Demon?
Kanter: "As for why we encountered a sneak attack by the Shadow Demon here. My personal opinion is that the Shadow Demon may have been arranged here a long time ago. He was not here to sneak attack us, but to...
"
When Kanter said this, his eyes turned to Reynolds.
Ness seemed to have thought of something, and narrowed his eyes: "I remember that after the Shadow Demon appeared before, he didn't pay attention to other people at all, but went straight to Reynolds, right?"
When the Shadow Demon appeared, their positions were: Bone Armor Knight at the front, Reynolds at the second, and Nice and Kanter at the end.
Logically speaking, the Shadow Demon should attack the Bone Armor Knight, but it directly bypassed the Bone Armor Knight and aimed directly at Reynolds.
If the purpose of the Shadow Demon is to attack the energy body, the Bone Armor Knight also has a soul inside, and it should not seek the far side. As for bullying the weak and fearing the strong, this is not correct. The weakest people present are Niss and Kanter.
It didn't release its breath until the end. With the Shadow Demon's meager IQ and weak perception, it wanted to bully the weak and be afraid of the strong, and it should pick Nice and Kanter, not Reynolds.
With this clarification, the target of the Shadow Demon is already very clear. It does not exist to sneak attack others, but to deal with Reynolds.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Kanter: "Do you still remember the ability of the Shadow Demon?"
Nice nodded.
The Shadow Demon can hide in the shadow of a living thing, absorb the energy in the shadow to survive, and gradually invade the living body, and finally control the living body... until it replaces the living body.
But if the Shadow Demon invades an energy body, such as the soul, it does not have to wait too long to directly control the soul.
"In other words, once the Shadow Demon invades Reynolds' soul, it means that it can control Reynolds."
"Its original intention is to control Reynolds' soul...perhaps it will eventually return to his body and completely replace Reynolds."
Kant nodded and agreed with Nice's statement: "Moreover, this road is a public road on the second floor. Whether you are going to the showroom or the third floor, you will pass through it. In other words, if Reynolds returns to the laboratory, he will definitely
Passing through this corridor, it makes sense that the Shadow Demon was arranged to ambush here."
Taken together, it seems that the Shadow Demon is indeed here either for them or to ambush Reynolds.
Of course, this is a guess. Moreover, in order for this guess to be reasonable, there must be another premise: Reynolds has something special and is valued by the person who controls the Shadow Demon.
Otherwise, the other party would not have sent such a precious Shadow Demon to ambush Reynolds.
As for whether there is anything special about Reynolds? Yes.
Kanter and Reynolds have only been in contact for a short time, so they may not be able to understand it yet, but Nice has experienced it several times: Reynolds has the template of "John's Counterattack".
Luck is a mysterious and mysterious concept that most wizards except prophecy wizards will sneer at because it is too difficult to figure out and cannot give a clear and traceable definition.
But for Reynolds, luck is like a constant talent that pops up from time to time.
If the person controlling the Shadow Demon knows that Reynolds has the "lucky" talent... No, it's not if, the other party must know. After all, Reynolds has lived in the laboratory for decades.
Then, it makes sense for him to deal with Reynolds.
No one would let such a lucky person go. Even if he doesn't use it himself, it would be nice to have it as a mascot at home.
Including Nice, he very much hopes to bring Reynolds back to Soul Valley.
On the other side, after listening to Ness and Kanter's analysis, Reynolds felt that it might really be targeting him. After all, based on his past experience, it was impossible for the Shadow Demon to appear here.
However, when I thought about it carefully, I felt something was wrong: "If you really want to ambush me on the only way to go, just one level is enough."
Nice: "Why do you want to go back to the lab?"
"For the body."
"Where is your body?"
"At a deeper level."
Nice: "That's okay. They may not be sure whether you will come back, but as long as you come back, they will definitely look for your body in the deep layers. It's normal to ambush you anywhere. As for why it's not on the first floor, maybe
It’s to make you relax your guard.”
Kanter: "There is another possibility. They were planning to capture you on the first floor, and the Shadow Demon on the second floor was just an afterthought, just in case."
"As for who will arrest you on the first floor, isn't the answer already clear..."
Reynolds was stunned for a moment, and a graceful witch figure appeared in his mind. On the other side of the face, 0 was engraved, and the other side was engraved with 3.
No. 03.
Perhaps No. 03 was originally the one who wanted to capture Reynolds, but the appearance of Ferro and others delayed No. 03.
"Whether this speculation is true or not, but you are definitely being targeted by them." Kanter patted Reynolds on the shoulder with pity in his eyes.
Nice: "It's good to be targeted. I hope it's better to ambush a few more Shadow Demons on the next road."
"Okay, don't waste time here, go to the showroom on the second floor first."
This time Reynolds was placed between Nice and Kanter. During the journey, Reynolds' expression was still a little dazed: "The people in the laboratory know that I know the internal routes. If they really want to ambush me, will they?
The route will also be…”
"You are not important enough for them to know the internal routes of the laboratory. Don't worry. At most, they will send some people or monsters to track you." Nice said, looking eager to face any ambushers he might encounter later.
Unfortunately, they didn't encounter any other ambushers all the way to the showroom door on the second floor.
The Shadow Demon that Nice had longed for did not appear again.
