"No. 1, you have violated the rules by leading people into the laboratory twice in a row. You must come with us to see the adults, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences." The speaker was X9, his pupils were white, and there was a slight chill in his words.
escape from the mouth.
Although X5 and X2 did not speak, it could be seen from their cold and disgusted expressions that they were also on X9's side.
Obviously, although they are experimental subjects like Reynolds, they do not have free thinking at all like Reynolds. They have been completely brainwashed.
Under the gaze of the three people, Reynolds lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.
After a long while, he said: "Rin, I once told you that I am not No. 1, I am Reynolds."
X9, the man whom Reynolds called ‘Rin’, after listening to Reynolds’ words, his eyes fluctuated slightly, but he finally returned to his indifference: “It seems you are still stubborn, so don’t blame us.”
After X9 finished speaking, he stopped talking to Reynolds and directly entered an attack stance with X5 and X2.
However, just when Reynolds thought they would attack, he found that they turned their heads and ran away, and the momentum they had accumulated disappeared in an instant.
Reynolds was stunned for a moment and quickly realized what was going on.
Reynolds believed that the three of them might be similar to the Shadow Demon on the second floor, and they also wanted to ambush him.
However, the three of them are different from the Shadow Demon. They have vision and independent judgment.
As these surviving experiments, the most common work they do is to collect information. With their knowledge, how could they not know Nice and Kanter?
One is a famous soul wizard, and the other is directly the patriarch of a secret family. Even if they face one of them, they can't win, let alone face both of them at this time.
In this case, it was impossible to ambush Reynolds, so the best way was to run away and seek help.
However, the possibility of escaping in front of an official wizard is quite low.
Ness, Kanter and even himself didn't move. They just let the bone armor knight step forward and stopped the three of them single-handedly.
Perhaps because they were facing only the Bone Armor Knight, they did not completely despair. They used their highest combat power to defeat the Bone Armor Knight and escape.
Unfortunately, the manipulator of the Bone Armor Knight was Ness. With his absolute strength, it took less than two minutes to directly press the three of them to the ground and rub them.
But this does not mean that they are not strong. If they were placed in the Rising Stars Competition, they would also be qualified to compete for the Supernova. Moreover, they also had quite shining points in their battles, such as - soul weapons.
Their soul weapons are different. X9 is called "Rin" by Reynolds. He can control massive amounts of cold air with his soul weapon and can act as a control hand in battle.
X5 is also "Tooth". His soul weapon appears as a dark green dagger, which can cut through the soul and poison people. It can weaken the opponent in battle.
As for X2, who was called "Scythe" by Reynolds, he was the strongest among the three. He pulled out a dark long-handled scythe directly from the land of souls, and opened his eyes to fight the bone armor knight head-on. Initially.
At that time, it even chopped off the head of the Bone Armor Knight, which shows how manic its attack was... However, the Bone Armor Knight had a soul inside. The so-called head was chopped off, but actually the helmet was chopped off. To it,
No impact.
The three of them have weakened, controlled, and attacked. They are already a complete team. They have the strength to fight against any strong apprentice. Even the champions and runner-ups of the Rising Star Competition, Onassis and Trom, will be able to fight against each other.
It is estimated that such a combination is likely to fail.
The three of them cooperated to catch Reynolds, and they could easily catch him. However, this time Reynolds came back, accompanied by two super bosses...
After catching the three people, Nice immediately sealed their souls, making them unable to move from the inside out. Because according to Reynolds, they had suicide switches hidden in their bodies, and if the mission failed, they would commit suicide directly. Doing so
, also just in case.
After sealing their souls, Nice began to torture them through their souls, trying to get more information.
However, they did not give more information than Reynolds. This is normal, Reynolds is ahead of them in the sequence, and he definitely knows more than them.
The only information they got was that they were indeed here to ambush Reynolds. Moreover, they had been stationed here three days ago. As soon as Reynolds showed up, they would be captured as soon as possible.
It is worth mentioning that the person who sent them to arrest people was No. 03, and they did not know that there was a Shadow Demon on the second floor.
Of course, this does not mean that the Shadow Demon on the second floor is not here to ambush Reynolds. According to various signs, it can be inferred that the person standing behind the Shadow Demon is No. 02, that is, the shadow wizard who is good at concealment and sneak attacks.
No. 03's people didn't know about the ambush set up by No. 02. It's possible that No. 03 didn't communicate with them, but it's also possible that... No. 03 didn't know about No. 02's arrangement either.
If it's the latter, that would be interesting.
No. 03 wants to capture Reynolds, and No. 02 also wants to capture Reynolds, but they are both operating in secret.
If this is the case, it means that Reynolds must have something they covet, such as...lucky talent?
Of course, the above are just speculations, and it is difficult to say whether they are true or not.
But if it is true, maybe No. 01 also has plans for Reynolds, and maybe he has also laid an ambush somewhere?
That's all the information these three people knew. They had been hiding nearby for the past few days and ignored other things. They didn't even know that all the combatants had gone out.
Nice also asked them about where the researchers from these layers were going, but they also had no idea.
In order not to waste time, Nice did not continue to ask any more questions. Instead, Reynolds thought about it and asked: "Do you know where the 'song' is?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The three were silent for a moment, and finally X9 said: "I don't know, you should know better than us, she rarely appears in the laboratory. Maybe she is doing tasks outside.
.”
Reynolds nodded and said no more.
After the inquiry was over, it was time to consider how to deal with the three of them.
Reynolds took the initiative to intercede with Ness. Even if they had different personalities, he couldn't bear to see his former companions die in front of him.
After thinking for two seconds, Ness did not kill them, but put the three of them into claustrophobia in his exile space.
It's not that Reynolds' intercession worked, but that Ness was very interested in soul weapons. These three people were carefully selected by the laboratory and were the final successful experimental subjects. They might be helpful to his future research on soul weapons, so they stayed here.
They have one life.
Next, they encountered no other dangers and followed Angel's guidance to find the sub-control node on the third level.
On the way to search, Nice asked Reynolds curiously: "Who was the 'song' you were talking about when you asked them just now?"
"She is...No. X3." Reynolds' voice was slightly deep, and he was inexplicably depressed.
"Is that the one you said can control sea beasts?" Nice still remembered that Reynolds specifically singled out X3 when he introduced his fellow experimental subjects not long ago, saying that her soul weapon could control large sea beasts to a certain extent.
The most unique person among the experimental subjects.
"Yeah." Reynolds: "Her ability is very dangerous and she can control sea beasts, so most of her usual tasks are patrolling nearby waters. Half of the ships that break into the fog zone will be swallowed by the harsh sea conditions, while the other half will basically
It was sunk because she controlled the sea beast... If you encounter her, you need to be careful."
After hearing this, Nice raised his eyebrows slightly. The ability to control sea beasts to drive away outsiders in the fog zone is indeed very powerful. Even if he cannot control the formal wizard-level sea beasts, in the harsh environment of the Devil's Sea, ordinary sea beasts are enough to be guarded by extraordinary beings.
The freighter capsized.
Nice: "X3's ability is to control sea monsters. When we came here, there were very few sea monsters nearby. Perhaps X3 also went to the lair with the combatants and was responsible for luring the sea monsters away."
This is Nice's guess, but judging from the current situation, it may be true.
Angel: "Reynolds, judging from your tone, you seem to care about her very much?"
Reynolds was silent for a moment and nodded: "Yes, she used to be my best partner and had the same philosophy as me, but she was also brainwashed by the laboratory."
To put it simply, Reynolds and X3 were once barely soul mates, but later X3 abandoned its past ideals and embraced the foolish loyalty of the Seiko Society. This was a huge blow to Reynolds. If there were some things that were not there at the beginning, then
I don’t care about losing it, but it has existed since the beginning. Once it is lost, it will naturally be difficult to accept it.
No one commented on the past between Reynolds and X3, they just talked about it lightly.
Next, they did not talk much about the topic of X3 and continued walking in the three-story corridor extending in all directions, looking for the final destination.
After a while, they came to a spacious corridor.
This is still not a sub-control node, but there is a gate here that Nice cares about.
Showroom.
The third-floor showroom is just along this corridor.
They were originally looking for a sub-control node, but they passed by here on the way.
"Do you want to go in?" Angel also noticed the nameplate of the showroom, turned around with his authority eye, and looked at Nice.
Nice didn't hesitate and shook his head directly: "Don't be busy now. It won't be too late to wait until we find the sub-control node."
Although Nice is eager for the exhibits, he is also very aware of the current situation. They are not safe. Only after finding the sub-control nodes, helping Angel determine the location of the main control, and solving his own safety problems, he has the idea
Think of good things.
Therefore, even if they saw the showroom door, they simply skipped it.
Nice forced himself not to look at the showroom, while Kanter stared at the showroom door, seeming to be thinking about something.
After a while, Kanter picked up the authority eye and asked Angel: "Speaking of which, have you ever thought about getting a soul weapon?"
Angel replied without hesitation: "No need."
Angel has some interest in soul weapons, but in order to obtain soul weapons, he must undergo an organ transplant. This is the reason why Angel refused.
It's not that he rejects organ transplantation, but Sanders once mentioned that it is best not to transplant organs randomly before the projected bloodline is completely clarified.
Transplantation of organs from other organisms will cause rejection. If not handled properly, it may even contaminate one's own bloodline. There is no conclusion yet as to whether the projected bloodline can accept "contamination". But generally speaking, when the bloodline is mixed,
May cause body breakdown.
Of course, there are ways to eliminate the drawbacks of mixed bloodlines. The bloodline side can use spells, and the non-bloodline side can use magic patterns and potions.
But this is based on the research of ordinary bloodlines. Angel's projection bloodline is currently the first in the wizarding world in the Southern Region, so it is best to deal with it carefully.
It is precisely because of this consideration that Angel would not choose transplantation even if he was interested in soul weapons.
Kanter: "I vaguely know something about you from Sanders. Although he didn't say it clearly, the main reason why you are unwilling to transplant organs is probably because you are afraid of contaminating your blood, right?"
Angel nodded.
Kanter: "You have actually fallen into a thinking trap. You are afraid of contaminating your bloodline. Why don't you choose an organ that will not contaminate your bloodline?"
Angel was stunned for a moment: "Is there such an organ?"
This time it was not Kanter who spoke, but Nice who said: "It seems that your retreat in the ruins some time ago was not enough."
"What I have accumulated is the ability of the illusion system..."
Nice: "Organs that can pollute blood vessels generally overlap with human body organs, or they must enter the body's circulation in order to be used. For example, eyes, ears, mouth, nose, tongue, limbs... these are the human body itself.
Yes, if external organs are transplanted and they want to be effective, they must enter the body's circulation, which may contaminate the blood vessels."
"But some organs that the human body does not have, or are simply driven by energy circulation, will not participate in the body's circulation. You can transplant these organs. In fact, this can no longer be regarded as a transplant, it can only be said to be embedded in your body.
It’s a special prop that you can replace at any time.”
"For example, the phantom beard of White Night Butterfly does not exist in the material world at all. It is an energy product and cannot pollute your bloodline."
"Also, the snakehead widow's exoskeleton is an external skeleton. It is used for defense and does not participate in internal circulation."
Under Nice's popular science, Angel was stunned for a while. This was the first time he had heard of this type of transplanted organ. If it could really not contaminate the blood and could be replaced at any time, then it would be very interesting.
It suits him.
Nice: "Of course, the effects of such organs that do not participate in the circulation of the body are generally not very good. In the eyes of most wizards, these organs are not even as good as the alchemy tools they carry, and they are considered nondescript when placed on the body."
"Actually, I think so too."
"However, although the reputation of this type of organ is not very good, I think it is very suitable for you. You don't need the effects of organ transplantation, but you can try soul weapons. After all, non-soul souls are very fragile. If you can
It is definitely not a loss for you to be protected by a soul weapon."
