Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 2399 Shadow Demon

After listening to Angor's explanation that was so brief that it could be merged into one sentence, both Nice and Kanter fell silent.

"The information in the psychic belt cannot be transmitted because the magic energy array has the effect of separating information between layers. I found the sub-control node of the magic energy array and temporarily closed this isolation effect."

This is Angel's explanation.

It sounds like you can find someone at random, just find the switch and press it, and the current situation will be presented.But Nice and Kanter are not stupid, and their rich experience is enough for them to understand the size and complexity of this magic circle.

Angel's ability to find the sub-control nodes so quickly, and even control them for a short period of time, is entirely a manifestation of his profound magic pattern background.For others, even some magic pattern masters, it would be difficult to succeed.Because the magic array in this base laboratory is not only magic patterns, but also involves the field of mechanical alchemy. Only a person like Angel who has a deep understanding of magic patterns and is a master of alchemy can do this. degree.

"Angel's growth rate is simply beyond my imagination." Kanter sighed.

"Yeah, such a good seedling, why did Sanders get cheap at the beginning." Nice said jealously.

The two of them didn't use the soul tie when they spoke at this time, so Angel didn't hear their emotions.But even if he heard it, he wouldn't care, Greya said this kind of thing almost every day.

Angel is talking with Reynolds about their current situation

Facing Angor's concern, Reynolds was slightly touched, after all, the two wizards around him are really unreliable.So when Angel asked about their situation, Reynolds didn't hide anything, and told them in detail what happened after they went down to the second floor.

The situation on the second floor was roughly the same as that on the first floor, and no one was encountered along the way, including the experimental center, which was also empty.

So, Nice is going to follow the routine on the first floor and go to the showroom first.

Halfway to the showroom, they were attacked.

The attacker was a Shadow Demon.

As soon as the Shadow Fiend appeared, he rushed towards Reynolds with all his teeth and claws.Reynolds was invaded by the power of the shadow demon in a short period of time. In order to quickly save Reynolds, Kanter directly shot the shadow demon.

This is how they had their previous conversation in the psychic tie.

"I didn't meet anyone along the way, the only thing I met was the attacker... Have you been discovered?" Angel asked after listening.

This is actually a question in Nice's mind: "I also think it's a bit weird. Reynolds himself said that we didn't trigger the mechanism. But the Shadow Demon still appeared, and judging from its movements, it was a sneak attack. That is to say , it's ambushing us."

"We, shouldn't we have been discovered? Is it because the hunting sequence was triggered on the first floor?"

After Niss finished speaking, everyone's expressions were a little solemn, and no one spoke, and the soul tie fell into a brief silence.

After more than ten seconds, Kanter took the lead in breaking the silence and said, "It's just speculation at the moment, but I have an idea."

After a pause, Kanter continued: "Since Angel, you are already at the sub-control node on the first floor, can you find out whether we have touched the magic circle?"

Nice's eyes lit up at this time, what Kanter said was indeed a method.

Angel: "Okay, wait a minute."

Speaking of which, Angor originally contacted them with a similar meaning.They may be a bit constrained in their actions in the magic circle, and Angel can help them avoid danger to a certain extent through their understanding of the magic circle.

After a long while, Angel's voice resounded in the soul belt: "No, you didn't trigger the magic circle 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, an interesting block was found."

Nice: "What interesting block?"

Angel: "You will find out later."

After speaking, Angor's voice disappeared from the psychic belt. No matter what Nice called, Angor did not respond. Obviously, Angor blocked the outside information.

After failing to contact Angel, Nisi simply gave up and turned to look at Kanter: "What do you think, Your Excellency Ru Ye?"

Kanter: "After entering the laboratory, the only place where the magic circle may be triggered is when we encounter the hunting sequence in the showroom on the first floor. Since Angel has confirmed that the magic circle was not triggered on the first floor, the possibility of us being discovered Sex, it shouldn't be too big."

"Moreover, Angor'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 our sneaking into the laboratory."

Nice also nodded, and he also agreed with what Kanter said: "However, how should the Shadow Demon explain it?

Kanter: "As for why we encountered the sneak attack of the Shadow Demon here. My personal opinion is that the Shadow Demon may have been here a long time ago. He was not for the surprise attack on us, but for... "

When Kanter said this, his eyes turned to Reynolds.

Nice also seemed to have thought of something, and squinted his eyes: "I remember, after the Shadow Demon appeared, he ignored the others at all, but went straight to Reynolds, right?"

When the Shadow Fiend appeared, their positions were: Bone Armor Knight at the front, Reynolds at the second, Nice and Kanter at the end.

It stands to reason that the Shadow Demon should attack the Bone Armor Knight, but it directly bypassed the Bone Armor Knight and aimed directly at Reynolds.

If the Shadow Demon is to attack and kill the energy body, the bone armor knight is also a soul inside, and it should not look far away.As for bullying the weak and fearing the hard, that's not true. The weakest breaths present were Nice and Kanter. These two didn't release their breath from the beginning to the end. With the meager IQ and weak perception of the Shadow Demon, if it wants to bully the weak, it should Nice and Kanter were picked, not Reynolds.

With this clarification, the Shadow Demon's goal is already very clear. It doesn't exist to sneak attack other people, but to deal with Reynolds.

Kanter: "Do you remember the ability of the Shadow Demon?"

Nice nodded.

The Shadow Fiend can hide in the shadows of living things, absorb the energy in the shadows to survive, gradually invade the living things, and finally control the living things... until it replaces the living things.

But if the Phantom Demon invades an energy body, such as a soul, it doesn't have to wait too long to directly achieve the effect of controlling the soul.

"In other words, once the Shadow Fiend invades Reynolds' soul body, it means that it can control Reynolds."

"Its original intention is to manipulate Reynolds' soul... Maybe it will return to his physical body in the end, and then completely replace Reynolds."

Kanter nodded and agreed with Nice's statement: "Besides, this road is a public road on the second floor. Whether you go to the showroom or the third floor, you will pass through here. That is to say, if Reynolds returns to the laboratory, he will definitely Go through this corridor. It makes sense that the Shadow Demon was arranged to ambush here."

Taken together, the Shadow Demon did not come for them, or to ambush Reynolds.

Of course, this is a guess.Moreover, in order to make this guess reasonable, there must be another premise: Reynolds has something special, and is valued by the person who controls the Shadow Demon.

Otherwise, the opponent would not have sent such a precious Shadowfiend to ambush Reynolds.

As for Reynolds, is there anything special?some.

Kanter and Reynolds have been in contact for a short time, and may not be able to realize it, but Nice has experienced it several times: Reynolds has the "John's counterattack" template.

Lucky, a mysterious concept, except for prophecy wizards, most wizards will scoff at it, because it is too difficult to figure out, and it is impossible to give a clear and traceable definition.

But with Reynolds, luck is like a constant talent that pops up every now and then.

If the person who controls the Shadowfiend knows that Reynolds has the talent of "luck"... No, it's not an assumption, the other party must know.After all, Reynolds has lived in the lab for decades.

Then, it is reasonable for him to deal with Reynolds.

No one will let such a lucky one go, even if he doesn't need it, it's good to have it as a mascot at home.

Including Nice, he very much hoped to lure Reynolds back to Soul Valley.

On the other hand, after listening to Nice and Kanter's analysis, Reynolds felt that it might really be aimed at him. After all, based on his past experience, it is impossible for the Shadow Demon to appear here.

However, after thinking about it carefully, I felt wrong: "If it is really ambush me on the only way, the first floor will be fine."

Nice: "Why are you going back to the lab?"

"For the body."

"Where is your body?"

"At a deeper level."

Nice: "That's it. They may not be sure whether you will come back, but as long as you come back, they will definitely go deep to find your physical body. It is normal to ambush you wherever you are. As for why you are not on the first floor, maybe It's to make you relax."

Kanter: "There is also a possibility that they were planning to capture you on the first floor, and the shadow demon on the second floor is just a case, just in case."

"As for who will arrest you on the first floor, isn't the answer already clear..."

Reynolds froze for a moment, and a graceful silhouette of a witch appeared in his mind, with 0 engraved on one side and 3 engraved on the other side.

03 number.

Perhaps, the person who originally wanted to arrest Reynolds was No. 03, but the appearance of Ferro and others delayed No. 03.

"Whether this guess is true or not, you must have been targeted by them." Kanter patted Reynolds on the shoulder with pity in his eyes.

Nice: "It's good to be targeted. I hope that on the road ahead, it's better to ambush a few more Shadow Fiends."

"Okay, don't waste time here, go to the showroom on the second floor first."

Reynolds was placed between Nice and Kanter this time. During the journey, Reynolds' expression was still a little dazed: "The people in the laboratory know that I know the internal route. If they really want to ambush me, will they Will route the route also..."

"You are not important enough to let them follow the internal route of the laboratory, don't worry, at most send some people or monsters to track you." Niss said, he seemed eager to try the ambushers he might encounter later.

It's a pity that they didn't encounter any other ambushers all the way to the gate of the showroom on the second floor.

The Shadow Demon that Nisi had been thinking about never appeared again.
