Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 2397 Hunting Sequence
Nice looked suspiciously at Reynolds, who was floating in mid-air.

Reynolds' expression was also very surprised at this time. He looked at the flashing red authority eyes with suspicion in his eyes.

Nice: "Is this a warning that the number of take-outs is approaching the limit? Could it be that someone else entered the showroom today to take something?"

According to Reynolds, once the number of things taken in the showroom exceeds the limit, the authority eye will issue a warning.

But now Nice complied with the rules of the showroom and only took three samples, which logically would not trigger a warning.The only possibility that Nice could think of was that he was not the only one who entered the showroom today.Others, such as the researchers here, have also entered the showroom to take items, so he took three more items, and he was close to the limit.

However, Reynolds shook his head at this time: "No."

"No? What's that?" Nice looked at Reynolds.

"If you are approaching the limit, the yellow light should be flashing to remind you. But now the flashing light of the authority eye is red." Reynolds stared at the authority eye and said.

Nice thought that Reynolds said before that red is more urgent than yellow, so now that the authority eye is flashing red, isn't it... the magic circle was touched?
Nice's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, "What does this mean? Has the magic circle been triggered? Are we leaving here?"

"No, I don't think the magic circle was triggered, but another mechanism should be triggered." Reynolds looked thoughtful: "It's very familiar, but I can't remember it..."

After pondering for a few seconds, Reynolds suddenly seemed to think of something, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "I remember, my lord, I remember!"

At this time, Nice did not turn his head to look at Reynolds, but looked at the gate solemnly.

On both sides of the gate, two white steel cabins with various energy tubes inserted suddenly rose up.

With a loud bang, the door of the cabin opened automatically.

Two silver-white mechanical puppets appeared in front of Nice.

These two mechanical puppets are in fruit clothes, without any clothes, directly exposing the machinery, gears, and pipelines of the whole body.Under the light of the halo above his head, all the parts of his body exuded a strange silver light.

Although they didn't wear clothes, it was worth mentioning that, like Reynolds, they also had words engraved on their mechanical cheeks.

On the left are two "X" superimposed together, a bit like "Yao".On the right are numbers, one is 19 and the other is 18.

When Niss was observing them, the two mechanical puppets opened their eyes at the same time, and the energy pipes on their bodies were instantly separated, and steam and frenzied energy were emitting from their bodies.

Click, click.

Two metal footsteps sounded.

Two mechanical puppets stepped out of the cabin at the same time.

After the three-meter-high body stood still, it slowly lowered its head, its empty eyes locked on Nice and Kanter, and then, the eyes turned red without warning.

"The target has been locked, the hunting time, open." The voice of the machine said from the mouths of the two puppets.

As soon as the words fell, puppet No. 19 suddenly disappeared. It seemed to melt into the water and into the surrounding space.

The other puppet with the number 18 engraved on its right face leaped lightly into mid-air, pinched the wrist of its right hand with its left hand, stretched out its index finger with its right hand, and used the index finger as a gun, bang——

A colorless energy flow shot out from the hole in its fingertips, aiming directly at Nice.

At the same time, Reynolds also recovered from his own thoughts and saw the two mechanical puppets.Horror flashed across his face, and he yelled at Nice: "No, they are the hunting sequence of the base!"

"No. 18 in the hunting sequence, the attack is a mental wave! If you get shot, your head will explode!"

As soon as Reynolds' reminder ended, the mental wave was already approaching Nice.

But Nis didn't move at all, because in front of him, there was already an extra "person"...or in other words, there was an extra knight soul wearing bone armor.

The bone armor knight waved his hand directly, and the bone armor on his arm turned into a huge square shield. There was also a whale-shaped relief on the giant shield, which meant that this set of bone armor was obtained from a whale-shaped sea beast.

"Shields are useless! The hunting sequence that can operate in the showroom will not directly attack the material world, and all matter will be ignored, including shields..."

Before Reynolds could finish his sentence, he saw the mental wave from No. 18, which was blocked by the bone armor knight's shield and was directly blocked.

Reynolds opened his mouth wide, watching this scene in astonishment.

The bone shield...isn't it from the material world?How can we guard against mental waves?

Reynolds was a little puzzled, but in fact, as long as he observed carefully, he would find that there was a layer of faint blue energy attached to the shield of the bone armor knight, which was the soul power of the bone armor knight.It is true that it is difficult for a mental wave to cause damage to the material world, but when it collides with the soul power of the same energy, it will naturally produce an interactive reaction.

After the bone armor knight blocked a mental wave, he charged forward and slashed at number 18 with the bone knight sword.

When the bone armor knight was fighting with No. 18, Reynolds heard the wind in his ears.

Looking back subconsciously, I saw ripples in the space not far away, and a silhouette of a human figure appeared beside Kanter.

"Your Excellency Ru Ye, be careful! Hunting Sequence No. 19 is proficient in space assassination..."

Before he finished speaking, Reynolds saw Kanter stretching out his hand at will, directly into the space ripples on the side, and only heard a bang, and the mechanical puppets behind the space ripples turned into dust.

Dust, scattered freely in the cracks in the space.

Kanter stretched out his hand, and casually wiped the Lanwei Hua Xingyue robe on his body, and then looked at Reynolds: "What did you just say?"

"No, nothing." Reynolds silently closed his mouth.

It's too cruel... Reynolds's evaluation of Kanter is only one sentence at this time.

While Reynolds was fluctuating, on the other side, there was a click, and Hunting Sequence No. 18 was cut in half by the bone armor knight's sword.

The mechanical structure and the gear chain fell to the ground.

No. 18 flashed an electric spark, and then the red light in his eyes disappeared. Like No. 19, he was completely destroyed.

The 18 is a little better than the 19, though, and it at least still has wreckage.

The knight in bone armor turned over the wreckage of No. 18, and after a while, he came over with a huge oval spar and handed it to Niss.

Nice took a look, raised his eyebrows and said, "This is a rare magical material that can carry spiritual power. It seems that this is its mechanical core... Unfortunately, the magic pattern has been carved, and the magic pattern is also broken , basically useless."

After finishing speaking, Nice threw the spar aside casually.

Only then did Nice turn his head to look at Reynolds: "What did you say you remembered?"

"What do you remember?" Reynolds was still in a dazed state. In his eyes, the incomparably powerful hunting sequence No. 18 and No. 19 were destroyed without any disturbance, which made him not come to his senses for a while.

"Before these two broken iron puppets appeared, didn't you say you remembered it?" Niss said angrily.

Reynolds was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses: "Oh, yes... yes. I remembered, what I wanted to say at the time was that the flashing red light of the authority eye was not because we triggered the magic circle, but because we stayed too long. long."

Nice looked puzzled: "What? We stayed too long?"

Reynolds nodded: "My memory is a little fuzzy. I didn't have these impressions at all before. I didn't remember another rule of the showroom until I saw the authority eye appear just now: each time the showroom is opened, you can only stay for 10 minutes at most. Once this limit is exceeded, it will be regarded as an enemy, and the hunting sequence will carry out pursuit."

"Because this is an internal rule and a restriction on the behavioral norms of laboratory personnel, it will not touch the magic circle. But as long as you commit a crime, you will end up being chased to death by the hunting sequence."

After Reynolds finished speaking, he showed guilt, and he only thought of it later.If I could remember it in advance, this would not have happened.

"Limited time? There is still a time limit?" Nice understood: "A showroom, and there is a time limit for visiting? What do you think?"

Kanter said silently: "Your treasure secret room, you also have a visit..."

Nice immediately interrupted: "That's different. I'm a treasure room, a 'secret' room, a secret room, and it's normal to have strict restrictions. This is a showroom. What does it mean to display? And exhibition halls, galleries It’s the same, it’s for people to see. There must be something wrong with setting a time limit for this kind of place.”

Obviously, Nice is a little sophistry.But Kanter didn't care, and he didn't continue to expose it. Anyway, he mentioned it from time to time, and he was happy to make himself sulky.

Nice calmed down for a while before accepting the result.After all, they are in someone else's laboratory, and the rules are set by others, and no matter how many slots there are, they can only hold back.

"Since the authority eye... Hey, that eye is gone? Forget it, it doesn't matter if it's there or not. What I want to ask is, does the authority eye flashing red mean that we have been discovered?"

Nice doesn't care about other things, what he cares most about is being discovered by the internal personnel, which will cause them to look forward to the next journey.

Reynolds shook his head: "Probably not. The internal norms of each showroom are different. If the internal norms are violated, it will only be dealt with by the corresponding hunting sequence, and will not attract the attention of others."

After all, most of the people in the laboratory are researchers, and they are always doing research. The most feared thing in research is that their thoughts will be interrupted in the middle of the research.Therefore, unless it is a big and important event, it will generally not be disturbed too much.

After finishing speaking, Reynolds added: "Perhaps the first three sequences will be discovered, but the first three sequences are not in the laboratory now, so there is no need to worry."

Hearing this, Nice breathed a sigh of relief.It won't be discovered by others, that's fine.

Nice, though, notes the other side of what Reynolds mentioned: "Is the interior code different in every showroom?"

Reynolds nodded: "Yes. In fact, the overall rules are the same, but some details are different. For example, you can stay on this floor for 10 minutes, but you can only stay on the next floor for 8 minutes."

Nice shook his head, and was speechless about the rules here: "Weird... You can't stay here anymore, so leave first."

After leaving the showroom, Reynolds floated forward again, and their next stop was the second basement floor.

On the way, Niss was still struggling with the weird rules: "If you take something that exceeds the limit, you will trigger the magic circle, which may be discovered by other people in the laboratory. But if you stay for a long time, you will be hunted down by the hunting sequence." , but will not be perceived by others. The norms here are really strange."

"The former is basically impossible. Once it occurs, it means that there may be a theft. Whether it is internal theft or external personnel entering the theft, this is a major event for the entire base laboratory and will involve many people. So it must be more serious." Reynolds: "As for exceeding the time limit, it may be due to inattention, it is personal misconduct, and it is not too serious."

What Reynolds said was very logical, but Niss, who already had prejudices in his heart, must still feel that something was wrong.

So, in the process of discussing "violation and sentencing", their figures went deeper and deeper until they disappeared into the darkness and disappeared on the quiet first floor.

……

Time kept passing, and after an unknown amount of time, Angel raised his head from a corner on the first floor.

There are still narrow corridors around, and there are branch roads everywhere.

He has been studying the magic pattern, and has been walking along with the flow of the magic pattern, but he doesn't know where he is now.

Angel looked at Toby: "How far is it from the entrance?"

Standing on Angor's shoulder, Toby yawned and muttered a few times, as if to say: Go forward...then turn left...then we're here.

Seeing that Toby remembered the way, Angel felt relieved.

But even if Toby didn't remember the way, Angel wasn't too worried. At worst, he could go back to his original position by walking backward along the direction of the magic pattern.

This time Angel woke up from the study of magic patterns, not because of the problem of getting lost, but because he discovered some characteristics of this magic circle, and he was going to talk about it with others.

Thinking of this, Angel sank into the psyche.

The frenulum was rarely quiet, and Angel muttered to himself: It's strange that Nice didn't speak.

Putting aside irrelevant thoughts, Angel said with a heart tie: "Where have you been?"

There was a moment of silence, and no one answered.

Half a minute later, Angel came again with doubts: "How are you doing now? Wizard of Nice, Lord Kantor, Reynolds?"

Still no reply... No, someone spoke this time.

"Chick, chick, chick."

"Dear Lord Toby, your voice is still so beautiful even in the soul belt."

Angel: "..."

No need to guess, the former is Toby and the latter is Dan Gross.

Ignoring the conversation between the two little guys, Angel asked directly to Dan Gross: "I just asked you to pay attention to their conversation, did they say anything? Why are they silent now? Something happened, why did you Didn't notify me?"

Dangros blinked his eyes in the palm of his hand, with an innocent face: "Nothing happened."

"Nothing happened, why is there no sound?"

Dangros shrugged: "I don't know either. Before they stopped talking, they didn't hear any strange conversations over there."

"What were they talking about before the soul belt had no sound?"

Dangros thought for a while: "It seems to be the code of conduct and punishment and sentencing. Yes, this is it."

"Huh? What?"

Dangros repeated it, and Toby yelled at the right time, indicating that it was true.

"Code of conduct? Punishment and sentencing?"

Angel was confused, why did they suddenly talk about such a weird topic?
