As soon as Nice and Kanter stepped into the fourth underground floor, they clearly felt the difference in the atmosphere.
The first three floors seemed extremely cold and desolate. Although they didn't feel the breath of death while walking, there was also no breath of living people. It was like walking in a forgotten wasteland. But it was different on the fourth floor, even if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes.
I saw a person, but the brighter lights, the different smells in the air, and the distant rustling sounds from time to time all showed that there was someone here, and there were many people.
Under the leadership of Reynolds, they walked forward not long before they saw traces of living people.
At the corner at the end of the long and narrow corridor ahead, several swaying figures appeared.
Nice narrowed his eyes and looked at Kanter: "Should we go there directly or in a hidden way?"
Kanter: "Before Angel has found the main control node, it is best to be hidden. However, how do you plan to hide?"
An evil smile appeared on Nice's face, and he pointed at the silent knight in bone armor beside him. The meaning was self-evident.
Concealment method? Naturally, it is to use physical methods to conceal it. Just knock the two people in front of you unconscious and you can pass through silently.
After understanding Nice's method, Kanter felt a slight twitching sensation in the corner of his eye. Sure enough, with Nice's behavior pattern, he would definitely choose this "hardcore" method in real name and "reckless" in anonymous name.
Kanter sighed silently, stretched out his fingers, and there was a darkness like night condensing on his fingertips.
After a while, this night-like darkness covered Kanter and spread at an extremely fast speed, covering Ness, Reynolds and the huge bone-armored knight.
After the darkness covered everyone, standing under the light, the four of them were like human silhouettes with a black shadow mosaic, looking even more conspicuous than before.
Nice looked at Kanter and tried to convey with his eyes: It's not night now, and engaging in dark possession is better than hardcore beating.
However, they were all in darkness at this time, and it was difficult to convey information by just looking at them.
However, if Kanter dared to use this ability, he naturally had his intention. Even if Nice didn't ask, he would explain: "Don't stand in the middle of the corridor, there is light above, walk against the wall."
The light source of the corridor comes from directly above. Walking in the middle, they are a dark mosaic without any blocking effect.
However, in the view of Nice and Reynolds, even if they move to the side, it is useless. Because the corridor itself is not spacious, and the light source is enough to cover the edge of the corridor.
If you step aside, if the light is darker at most and they are just a few dark shadows, you will still be spotted.
While everyone was confused, Kanter walked to the position against the wall first.
Then, a magical scene occurred. When Kanter walked to the wall, his whole body blended into the environment, and there was no trace of him anymore.
"What's going on?" Reynolds asked blankly. He is now a soul body, and his eyes naturally have triple vision of physical eyes, energy eyes and soul eyes. But even so, there is no trace of Kanter.
"A little trick, as long as there is a little shadow, you can amplify the effect of being obscured." Kanter said.
Although the edge of the corridor is also covered by light, due to the angle, there is always a layer of less obvious shadows at the bottom of the edge. Usually these shadows do not affect the line of sight, but Kanter's trick directly borrowed this
The inconspicuous shadow hides my figure.
Following Kanter's example, others backed up against the wall.
Nice felt the strange feeling of being covered by shadows, with a bit of surprise in his eyes: "Is this the ability of the shadow system?"
Kanter did not answer directly, but simply said: "This is the gift of the night."
With the shadow covering them, their actions were much simpler. Even if they saw a figure in front of them, they walked over without hesitation.
"No. 61 and No. 62." When they came to the corner, the first thing they saw was a few silhouettes who had just walked away, and two people standing nearby. They were wearing silver-white uniforms with a mechanical feel.
The numbers on the face are 61 and 62.
"The two of them are researchers. I don't know what they are studying specifically. I have no contact with them on weekdays." Reynolds said in the psychic belt.
"Researchers? Listen to what they are saying." Nice was not in a hurry to leave. Anyway, they were covered by shadows, and their ability was enough to hide the leaked fluctuations.
No. 61 and No. 62 did not stay where they were. Instead, they walked forward and talked. However, they did not know that there were four figures hidden in the shadows around them.
No. 62: "Although No. 47 said that everything is under control and it is absolutely impossible for it to come to the fourth floor, I still feel a little nervous in my heart."
No. 61: "Don't worry, all the power eyes have been activated on the fourth floor, so it can't come in. Even if it does come in, it doesn't matter. Unlike the previous three floors, the consoles on the fourth floor have been fully controlled. As long as
If it dares to come, even if you can't kill it in a short period of time, you can still trap it. Use the magic energy array to grind it slowly. When all the high-sequences come back, it will be easy..."
As they talked, they turned and walked into a room.
Niss and others did not follow, not because they were unwilling, but because the magic patterns in this room were shining brightly. No. 61 and No. 62 may have permission to go in directly, but once they step in, they may be
The magic pattern was discovered.
Ness looked at the flickering magic patterns in the room and sighed softly: "The fourth floor may not be as relaxing as the previous floors."
After a pause, Nice looked at Reynolds: "Do you know what these magic patterns are about?"
Reynolds was also looking at the activated magic pattern at this time. He was stunned for a while and then said: "This is the phenomenon of the magic energy array being fully activated. The last time this happened, I remember it was when a combatant rebelled.
When the magic energy array is activated, if you don't have the relevant permissions, there is almost nowhere to escape."
Ness frowned: "In other words, as long as the magic pattern is activated, you can't enter?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Reynolds: "You must have permission to enter, otherwise you will be locked by the magic energy array."
The magic energy array is identified by energy, so as long as there is energy in the body entering it, it will be locked immediately, and even the true wizard cannot escape. Unless it is a person who has mastered some special laws, or is proficient in magic patterns
Only space wizards can enter the activated area silently through the gaps between the magic patterns.
But there are only a few space wizards, and even fewer are proficient in magic patterns. What's more, the magic energy array here was arranged by enchanters from the source world. If you want to find a flaw in this magic energy array, the strength of the magic patterns must be at least as strong as the one who arranged it.
Basically, the Southern Territory is a place where magicians are weak, and it is basically impossible to find similar people.
Nice: "Do you have permission?"
Reynolds shook his head: "This kind of emergency authority is temporarily assigned. I don't have it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Reynolds felt a bit of fighting spirit floating around Ness. He could probably guess what Ness was thinking, so he added: "Permissions cannot be taken away, even if you capture and control a person with authority.
, it is also difficult for us to use it. Because the authority is imprinted on the soul mark."
"Furthermore, emergency authority is limited to one person."
In other words, even if you control a person with authority to go to the magic energy array, he can only use it. Reynolds cannot take everyone else into the showroom with his authority like before.
.
After Reynolds finished speaking, Nice immediately felt bad.
According to the current situation, wouldn't it be true that most of the rooms are inaccessible? What about the showroom, whose displays are gone?
More importantly, the information he wanted could not be placed in the corridor, it must also be in a certain room.
If you can't enter the room, your information will be lost.
"What should we do now?"
Kanter: "If you don't want to force yourself in, the only way is to wait for the results from Angel's side."
Niss thought about it, and now it seems that this is the only way. He originally wanted Toby to call Angel and talk to him about the situation here, but in the end he forgot it. Angel must be studying magic patterns now.
Looking for the master control node, every interruption may interrupt his thoughts, so it is better to wait until he has finished researching.
In the following time, everyone carefully walked around the fourth floor while determining the area where the magic pattern was activated.
In the process, they also met many researchers wearing silver uniforms. They all had one characteristic. They all had serious expressions and walked in a hurry, as if there was danger following behind them. If they walked a little slower, they would be swallowed by the darkness.
This kind of cautiousness to the point of stress also made Nice interested in what happened on the fourth floor.
"I heard the conversation between No. 61 and No. 62 before, and it seemed that some creature had broken into the laboratory?" Nice: "I feel that this may be the reason why there is no one on the first three floors."
"Could it be some kind of monster?"
When No. 61 and No. 62 were talking, the name of the intruder was not mentioned throughout the whole process, and they were only replaced by "it". The interpretation of "it" is generally considered to be an inhuman creature in mainland China's common language. However, sometimes "it"
"" can also be used to refer to human beings. For example, extreme humanists will refer to other human beings as "it", which has a connotation of contempt. For example, many Karabit people look down on human beings.
Even years after the "Humanity Amendment Act" has been recognized, they will still use "it" to refer to humans.
"Monsters breaking into the laboratory? It shouldn't be possible. Generally speaking, it's very difficult for humans to break into the laboratory." Reynolds said. The reason why he was able to sneak into the laboratory with Nausicaa was because he was very familiar with it.
I am so familiar with this place, I even know the duty mechanism very well, so I can sneak in silently.
Without the leadership of internal personnel, let alone causing a storm in the laboratory, it would be impossible just to enter the laboratory door.
Because... there is no authority.
Nice thought about it and felt that it made sense. Just like this time, if it weren't for Angel, they would definitely be stuck at the entrance level.
Even if a monster has a high IQ, can it still understand the application of magic patterns?
"Could it be that the monsters raised in the laboratory rioted?" Nice: "Didn't you say that there were some monsters raised in the laboratory? Last time, you and Nausicaa were chased by monsters and were forced to escape.
Are you going to ascend to heaven?"
Reynolds hesitated for a moment and said: "This is possible, but even if there is a riot among the monsters kept in the laboratory, no one can deal with it. What's more, if we dare to keep monsters in captivity, we must have control
their means."
"That's what I say, but how should we understand this record?" A medical record appeared in Nice's hand, which was recorded on the 23rd.
Nice turned to the record from the day before yesterday. It clearly recorded that on the 23rd, he was attacked by a monster and had to take the initiative to enter the cold liquid to repair it.
Although there is no clear record of what this monster is on the 23rd, and it is impossible to determine whether it is a captive monster, but what we can know is that there must be some strange movement of the monster.
Nice didn't pay much attention to this at the time, but now it seems that this record seems to point to the source.
Combined with the remarks of No. 61 and No. 62, it is very possible that everyone is huddled on the fourth floor because they were invaded by monsters.
Reynolds was speechless when faced with this medical record.
"Maybe the combatants left, making it impossible to suppress some monsters?" Reynolds guessed, but he didn't quite believe this guess.
It is true that researchers are proficient in research, but it is impossible to say that they have no combat effectiveness. This is because wizards are basically fully developed, but some are better at fighting and some are better at research.
Because there were many things that couldn't be explained, and there was no point in further discussing them, Nice thought for a while and said: "Let's continue to explore the news first, and then look for a way to the fifth floor."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There are so many people on the fourth floor, and they don’t even care about consumption. The magic energy array is fully activated. It is basically difficult to get anything on the fourth floor. But
The fifth floor is different. According to Reynolds, the fifth floor is the private area of the first three sequences. Even if there is a monster invasion inside the laboratory, they can only escape to the fourth floor. The fifth floor should not dare to break into it without permission.
.
Reynolds nodded, he secretly knew a lot about the fifth floor, and his target was also on the fifth floor.
It's just that Reynolds is a little worried. On the way to the fifth floor, he needs to pass through a lot of halls, such as the experimental center. Will the magic energy arrays in these places also be activated?
With an anxious mood, Reynolds walked in the shadows...
…
On the first floor of the base laboratory, footsteps sounded in the empty corridor.
Because of the narrow space, the footsteps echoed with a distant and repeated ghostly feeling.
"I always feel like every step you take makes my heart beat a little, it's so heart-wrenching." Dangros said tremblingly.
Angel glanced at Dangros: "Do you have a heart? Also, you used the wrong word. You shouldn't say infiltrate people, but... infiltrate fire."
"..."
Angel had already left the first layer of sub-control nodes at this time, and he was basically sure that the main control node was on this layer. However, he still needed to confirm where it was.
He could directly calculate based on the sub-control nodes on the second and third floors, but this was a bit slow, so he planned to visit the first floor, and through the magic pattern distribution here, combined with the results from the sub-control nodes on the second and third floors, he finally went to
Lock the location of the master node.
That's how he now spends his time wandering in the corridor.
After wandering around for about ten minutes, Angel's eyes suddenly stopped at a corner.
Abnormal energy fluctuations appeared there...and it was not energy from the magic energy array.
