Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 2401 Master Control Clue
This world of magic patterns is like a trap full of temptations, the more you wait and see, the easier it is to fall into.Especially for a novice with little knowledge of magic patterns like Kanter.

Continuous exploration will also sink in the brilliance, thinking that you are mastered, but in fact you will get nothing, and you may be attacked.

Based on Kanter's knowledge, he naturally understood that this was the result of insufficient aptitude and background, so he quickly withdrew his gaze and stopped focusing on the magic pattern projection.

"What are you going to do next?" Kanter asked.

"There is nothing else to do for now, just let me take a closer look at these magic patterns." Angel quickly replied.

Kanter nodded, let the authority eye float in mid-air, and gave it a little magic power, allowing it to turn the angle of view at will.

Kanter didn't dare to look at the projection of the magic pattern, fearing that his mind would fall, so he simply began to observe his surroundings. In the end, his gaze was fixed on a transparent cabin like a coffin.

Inside the cabin box is a tall and straight mechanical puppet.From the lines carved on its face, Kanter immediately recognized its identity.

"Hunting sequence, No. 4...I didn't expect the first rank of the hunting sequence to be in the node of the magic energy circle..."

Not long ago, after they met hunting sequence No. 18 and No. 19 on the first floor, Reynolds popularized the status of hunting sequence in the laboratory to them.

In the mouths of Reynolds and some low-level personnel, the hunting sequence is recognized as a ruthless law enforcer, and all those who violate the laboratory norms will be wiped out by them.Because once they are dispatched, they will inevitably result in death, so they have the prefix of "cold".

But, one more thing Reynolds mentioned, enforcers are just what they're called.The hunting sequence is called the scavenger in the mouth of the high-sequence personnel in the laboratory.

As for why, Reynolds didn't know either.

Another thing is also related to the hunting sequence. It is said that the hunting sequence has 20 characters, and the higher the sequence, the stronger the strength.However, there are only 6 to 20 hunting sequences currently active in the laboratory, and the top 5 hunting sequences have never appeared since the laboratory was created.

Reynolds even guessed that there may not be the top 5 sequences, or the top 5 sequences are not in the laboratory in the southern domain at all.

Unexpectedly, the top 5 hunting sequences were actually hidden in the sub-control nodes of the magic array.The organs on them are connected to the trigger points of the magic energy array, and are the guardians of all sub-control nodes. Once someone breaks in, they will inevitably be attacked mercilessly by them.

It's a pity that they met Angel, who was extremely proficient in magic patterns... Not only did they avoid the trigger point, but they were also judged by outsiders.

Hunting Sequence No. 4 is a creation of mechanical alchemy, and has some magic patterns carved on its body, but compared to the magic patterns on the wall, the magic patterns on its body are not too friendly.

Even Kanter can understand a thing or two.

So, Angel was studying the sub-control nodes on the wall, and Kanter was studying the hunting sequence.

About a quarter of an hour later, Kanter came back to his senses. From the magic pattern on the mechanical puppet's shell, Kanter roughly saw the level of this puppet... This is a wizard-level puppet.

Before, they thought that there were only three official wizard-level combat powers in the base laboratory, but now it seems that this is not the case. Hunting Sequence No. 4 is already a wizard-level.

It is estimated that the ones with higher sequences are also wizard-level combat power.

In other words, the laboratory also has at least 7 wizard-level fighters.From this point of view, the background of this laboratory is also quite deep, as expected from the source world.

As for the other parts of this mechanical puppet, such as what its abilities are, Kanter can't see it.

But just talking about a mechanical puppet with wizard-level combat power is already worth a lot. It's a pity that it is connected to the magic circle, otherwise Kanter really wants to pry it away and take it back.

Kanter, the mechanical puppet, had roughly finished reading it, so he withdrew his gaze and looked back at Angel again.

He found that the authority eye represented by Angor was still obsessed with the magic pattern, and would approach the magic pattern from time to time. It stands to reason that the magic pattern would rebound all those who approached it, but there was no reaction at all to the authority eye approaching. This shows that Angel fully grasped the timing of the energy flow inside the magic pattern, and could move in the projection of the magic pattern without triggering the magic pattern.

In Kanter's view, this is incredible.

You know, Kanter is not even qualified to continue to watch the magic pattern, but Angel can do this through a privileged eye.

It can only be said... the younger generation is terrifying.

The master alchemist recognized by the research and development institute is not a fool.

"No. 03 is probably not aware of it at this time... What kind of person has entered their base laboratory..." Kanter secretly lit a candle for No. 03. No. 03 didn't know that Angel was also here , if she knew Angel's identity, she probably wouldn't be so calm in the head of the Wave Tool.

When Kanter was silent in his heart, there was finally a movement from Angor's side.

I only heard Angel say in the heart belt: "It is exactly as I imagined!"

Before Kanter could ask, Nice, who was waiting outside the corridor, said first, "What's going on inside you, what's the same as you imagined?"

Angel: "I can't manipulate the sub-control node on the second floor, but I found an important clue in this sub-control node."

"What clue?"

Angel: "A clue to the master control node!"

The reason why Angor wanted to look at the sub-control nodes on the second floor with the perspective of authorized eyes was actually to verify an idea in his mind.

——Whether the master control node can be found.

There can be multiple sub-control nodes in the magic array, but there must be a master control node that can control the overall situation.Generally speaking, there is some kind of interconnection and interaction between sub-control nodes and master control nodes.

However, Angel only saw the sub-control nodes on the first floor, and was completely unable to judge which magic lines pointed to the main control nodes.Therefore, he needs more evidence.

And these evidences come from other sub-control nodes.

Now, in the sub-control nodes on the second floor, Angel got what he wanted, and here he did see the direction of the magic pattern associated with the sequence nodes on the first floor.

What is certain is that these magic patterns are connected to the main control node.

Angel: "I can now confirm that it is feasible to find the location of the main control node through the sub-control nodes."

Nice: "Then you looked at the sub-control nodes on the second floor, can you find the master control node?"

Angel: "If there are only two pieces of data, it is not easy to calculate the position of the main control node, and the amount of calculation will be very large. If I can see the three-tier sub-control node, my confidence will be greater. "

Angel's meaning is very clear, if you want to find the master control node, then continue to go to the third floor with the right to look at the sub-control nodes on the third floor.

Do you want to do it?Nice and Kanter did not hesitate at all, the answer must be: do it.

As long as the master control node is found, the hidden secrets of this laboratory can basically be seen at a glance.

Their safety will also be greatly guaranteed.

Angel might be able to control the magic circle in reverse...

"Okay, let's go to the sub-control node on the third floor! After going to the third floor with this permission, will the vision be blocked?" Nice asked after making a decision.

Angel: "No."

Nice: "Then let's go now."

Angel: "Okay, but before I leave, I need Master Kanter to do something."

Kantor froze for a moment: "What's the matter?"

"Suppress the information partition between the second floor and the third floor..." If you don't suppress it, even if Angel can see the environment on the third floor through the authority, he won't be able to talk to them.

Kanter swallowed his saliva as he looked at the dazzling magic pattern projection on the wall.

After a while, Kanter hesitated and said, "Then I'll try."

In the end, when Kanter successfully suppressed the information partition block and walked out of the corridor, his face was already pale, and there were stains of sweat on his wrinkled forehead.

Although Kanter didn't say anything, just from these details, Nice knew that Kanter probably experienced a lot of torture in suppressing the information partition.

Nice is very fortunate now, fortunately it was not the sub-control node he entered at that time.Even a top true wizard like Kanter turned pale. Wouldn't his legs be weak when he came out?If it really happened that the legs were weak and unable to walk, it would be a shame.

The rest of the journey was silent.

Angel was trying to use two pieces of evidence to decipher the position of the main control node, while Niss was too embarrassed to speak, for fear of teasing Kanter... Usually he can be presumptuous, but now Kanter's expression is too bad.

In this way, we walked all the way to a narrow path than the corridor at the control node.

This path is curved, and there is a corner not far ahead.

Niss used his mental strength to investigate, and found that after turning the corner, at most ten meters, he would encounter a wall.In other words, the trail is a dead end.

"To the third floor, are you sure this is the way?" Nice asked Reynolds.

Reynolds nodded: "I'm sure."

Nice opened his mouth to say something, but after thinking about the situation from the first floor to the second floor, he finally closed his mouth.Anyway, Reynolds is a coward, just follow him.

The path was not long, and soon they turned a corner and reached the end of a dead end.

"Wait here for ten seconds." Reynolds said.

Ten seconds later, Reynolds led the crowd back again, stopped at the entrance of the path, and waited for another ten seconds.

Then, when they walked forward again and turned a corner, they saw that the end of the path was no longer a wall, but a long and secluded staircase leading down.

Nice: "It's exactly the same as the situation from the first floor to the second floor... I didn't expect you to go downstairs and go back. Is this an agency?"

Reynolds scratched his head: "I don't know if it's a mechanism, should it? Anyway, if you want to go to the next floor, you have to go through this way, and the third to fourth floors are the same way."

At this time, Angel, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "Actually, there is no direct communication ladder between each floor of the laboratory."

"Hey, what do you mean?"

Angor: "The first floor to the second floor, and the second floor to the third floor, all exist independently, and there is no direct road connection at all."

"Then what's going on with this trail we're on now?"

Angor: "I call this trail the tentacles, the tentacles of the giant laboratory. Or, it can also be called the external corridor."

Angel's words made Kanter and Nice think of one thing at the same time.

Before they entered the base laboratory, they used their mental power to perceive the general shape of the entire laboratory.At that time, it was discovered that the surroundings of the laboratory were covered with square "tentacles".

Now it seems that the trail they are on is actually in the "tentacles".

The reason why I turned back and forth here was that I waited for 20 seconds before the entrance to the third floor appeared.It is because the tentacle is moving, it moves from the independent second floor to the entrance that can go to the third floor.

"So that's how it is...then if someone finds us in the tentacles, can't they just cut off the tentacles, and we'll be buried in the ground?" Nice said.

Kanter: "Can you stop the crow's mouth?"

Angel said sternly: "The situation that the Wizard of Nice said has a high probability of happening. The laboratory is probably doing this for insurance. If something goes wrong, you can directly cut off the tentacles, so that the layers can be completely independent. .”

Because of this, they are not actually safe.

Once someone discovers their intrusion, they can completely cut off the tentacles between each layer. If they want to leave, they can only forcefully attack the laboratory, and they will inevitably suffer the counterattack of the entire magic circle.

Thinking of this, Nice had a slight bad feeling in his heart.

"The person who built this laboratory must have been persecuted and paranoid, making it so harsh." After Nice finished speaking, he couldn't help but swear.

In order not to let the premonition come true, it is necessary to help Angel find the master control node as soon as possible. Only by finding the master control node and having certain authority of the magic circle can there be a way not to be restrained by others.

Thinking of this, Nice quickly stepped into the stairs to the third floor.

The crowd followed.

After arriving on the third floor, Angel immediately observed the direction of the surrounding magic lines through the field of vision of the authority eye, and guided Nis and others to the sub-control node on the third floor.

As for the showroom, there is no rush... The crisis comes first, and personal gains and losses can be put aside.

Everyone hurriedly moved on the third floor, and the rooms they encountered on the way were all ignored.Their target is only sub-control nodes.

However, on the way, there was still a little accident.

They met blockers.

For the first time since they entered the laboratory, they met people.

It's not alone, it's three people.Moreover, Reynolds also knew these three people.

"Ya, Rin, and... Sickle." Reynolds stared blankly at the people, and whispered their names.

However, the other party obviously didn't agree with the name, his eyes were cold, and he didn't respond at all.

Judging from the appearance, these three people are all men, wearing silver-white base uniforms, standing tall and quite imposing.

There are also numbers on their faces, but their number tattoos are not the same as No. 03 or the hunting sequence, but similar to Reynolds.

On the left is an X and on the right is a number.

The three of them are X5, X9 and X2 from left to right.

When they saw this "X", everyone already understood that what appeared in front of their eyes was the same experimental living body as Reynolds.

Reynolds said before that in the end, nine people survived such an experimental living body, and four more died in the process of carrying out missions, gathering intelligence, and assassinating these years. Excluding Reynolds, now there are only four people left.

They met three of them.
