Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 2404 Mirror Corridor
After a while, they were standing outside a corridor flooded with water.

This corridor is completely different from the ones they passed through before. The walls are made of mercury-like substances, like a square mirror.

In such a corridor made of mercury mirrors, there is a pulsating water layer.

Because of the mirror reflection, standing outside the corridor and looking inside, it seems to create an infinitely wide shallow pool inside, but in fact it is about the same size as other corridors.

"Are you sure the sub-control node of this layer is inside?" Nice asked.

"The source of all magic pattern energy flows through to the depths of this corridor." Angel's voice sounded in the psychic belt, "If there is no other path, the sub-control node is inside."

Nice turned to look at Reynolds: "Have you been here before?"

Reynolds shook his head blankly: "I had no idea there was such a corridor on the third floor of the laboratory."

Nice sighed, and said angrily, "It's because you've lived here for decades."

Reynolds had a slightly embarrassed expression on his face. He had indeed lived here for decades, but that didn't mean he had been to all the places.What's more, they found this place and passed through a bathroom with a high serial number.

No one expected that there was a secret passage behind the bathroom with the high serial number.

It can be said that this area is unknown to the vast majority of laboratory personnel, and it belongs to the hidden snow area.

Since he couldn't get help from Reynolds, Nice stopped looking at him, but asked in the psyche: "What should I say next, go inside?"

Angor nodded up and down while manipulating the authority eye: "Time is running out, we must enter it as soon as possible to control the block of information transmission...Does Wizard of Nice have any suggestions?"

Niss said awkwardly: "I just think there is something wrong with the water in this corridor. How about I let the Skeleton Knight go in first?"

Angel: "There are also magic lines in the water, so you can't test them at will."

Nice: "Then..."

Without waiting for Nisi to hesitate, Kanter took a step forward: "It's better for me to go in with Angel. After all, I know some magic patterns, and Nice wizards don't know much about magic patterns."

Nice nodded immediately. He said so much, but he didn't want to move forward.

Angel himself didn't think about letting Niss follow, they just stayed outside.

Kanter: "Shall we go in directly? Or, let's observe again?"

Angel: "Wait a minute."

Through the field of vision of the authorized eye, Angel carefully explored the corridor ahead.After all, he didn't come here in real body, so he didn't have any premonition of danger, but from the dodge of Nice's eyes and Kanter's gradually solemn expression, it can be inferred that this corridor puts a lot of pressure on them, which is also the wizard's response to danger. early warning.

Because of this, Angel put aside his contempt and observed carefully.

1 minute, 2 minutes... soon, 10 minutes passed.

Kanter's expression became more and more serious, because he arranged the magic pattern in the medical center to delay the transmission of information, and he could clearly feel that the delay effect was gradually failing.In no more than 5 minutes, the magic pattern there will fail, and the information sent by the 23rd will reach all floors in an instant. When the magic energy array is fully activated, it will be quite unfavorable to them.

Although Kanter was in a hurry, he didn't dare to urge him. After all, Angel was an expert in magic patterns.

After another minute, Angor's voice finally rang out in the psychic belt: "Refraction, reflection, diffraction, scattering, and the use of light, shadow, and mirrors to create true and false magic lines, arrange this corridor That one is very cautious."

Nice looked confused: "What are you talking about?"

Angel: "It's nothing, Mr. Kanter, you can go in. You must follow my guidance and don't use subjective consciousness to make judgments."

Kanter didn't understand what Angor meant at first, until he stepped into the corridor and walked a few steps according to Angor's guidance, he gradually understood what Angor meant.

For example, there is a landing point, which should be where the magic patterns converge. From past experience, Kanter can judge the corresponding location.However, Angel pointed to a very "crooked" point, which didn't seem to be where the magic lines converged at all.

Kanter hesitated again and again, but finally listened to Angel's words.

Everything is safe and sound, which means they are on the right track.

This made Kanter a little puzzled, why did his judgment fail?After asking, Angel did not say directly, but motioned Kanter to look at the wall.

The walls of Mercury are all mirror surfaces, and the real magic pattern convergence point is projected onto the walls through the mirror surfaces.

Kanter seems to be standing in a "crooked" position, but the "he" projected on the wall is standing at the correct convergence point of the magic lines.

To put it bluntly, the magic pattern here is the application of mirror surface and light.

If you are not familiar with this, it is easy to walk according to the normal logic, ignoring the external mirror and light factors, resulting in wrong steps and wrong steps.

And Angor has been studying the mirror space recently, and has a relative understanding of light and mirror images.Moreover, he did not forget the common sense of physics that Jon taught him.Even if some physical constants in this world are different from those on the earth, the characteristics of light are not much different.

It is precisely because of such knowledge and literacy that Angel was able to see through the secrets here in a short time and quickly decipher the mechanism of the corridor.

With Angel's explanation, Kanter was enlightened, and then he no longer judged the route based on his own experience, but followed Angel's command, and walked deeper step by step...

While Angor and Kanter were walking towards the sub-control node, on the other side, Nice was thinking about the previous conversation with No. 23.

Although No. 23 committed suicide in the end, it doesn't mean they didn't get any information.

Among the information obtained, what concerned Niss the most was the sentence mentioned on the 23rd - "That noble, great, and invincible existence is still sleeping, as long as you confirm your threat, he will wake up and use the power of divine power to wake up." Sanction you!"

Judging from the state and mood at the time on the 23rd, this sentence was not arranged by him temporarily.

In other words, there is a good chance that what he said is true.

Once his message is transmitted, maybe it will really lead to a sleeping strong man.

Who will be this hidden 'strong man' prefixed by No. 23 with "noble, great, and invincible"?

Nice looked at Reynolds who was floating in mid-air, and asked questions.

Reynolds looked confused: "I don't know who the 23rd is talking about. Does such a laboratory really exist?"

Nice: "Why do I feel like you don't know what to ask. I am very confused now. Based on your understanding of the laboratory, how did you manage to escape after breaking in with Nausicaa?"

Reynolds scratched his head, and didn't know how to answer. He was very familiar with the laboratory's personnel shift arrangement, and he could only enter easily last time.However, this does not mean that Reynolds is familiar with all the secrets of the laboratory.

Reynolds hesitated for a moment: "In addition to the hidden area, there are also some restricted areas. I am familiar with the situation on the first four floors, but I have never heard of any hidden strong people. I think the one mentioned on the 23rd exists, Maybe it's hidden on the fifth floor?"

Reynolds has only been to the fifth floor once, and it is the reserved place for the first three sequences.Because of the few visits, Reynolds has a greater reverie about it.

Reynolds: "Oh, yes. There is an assistant on the 23rd. The serial number is 91. I heard that it is his wife. I don't know if it is true or not. But what I can confirm is that they often stay together on weekdays. Maybe she knows something."

Nice expressionless: "Then where do you think this number 91 is?"

Reynolds: "...don't know."

Nice: "Then what's the difference between what you said and nonsense."

Nice gave Reynolds a blank look, ignored him, and continued to fall into deep thought.

For that hidden existence, Nice actually had a guess in his mind: Could No. 23 be No. 00?
When talking with No. 03 outside, No. 03 never denied the existence of No. 00.

However, because of the influence of Reynolds, they preconceived that even if No. 00 exists, it is not in the laboratory... After all, there have been situations in the laboratory for decades, and it is always the first three sequences who come forward to solve the problem. 00 The number has never appeared, and has been in the "legendary" without showing up.

Thinking about it now, No. 03 didn't say that No. 00 had left. She just kept silent and didn't want to talk more.

Maybe number 00 is actually in the laboratory?

After all, when No. 03 learned that they wanted to go inside the laboratory, they clearly showed instigation.Maybe it's because they think that if they enter, they will touch the number 00?
If No. 00 is really sleeping somewhere in the laboratory, then their actions must be faster, and they must be more cautious and secretive.

Find the information and leave the laboratory as soon as possible to avoid being locked in the urn and being treated as a turtle.

……

Three minutes after Kanter entered the mirrored corridor, Nice received a message from Kanter from the psychic belt: "The block of information transmission has been controlled. The message sent on the 3rd has been processed."

About 10 minutes later, Kanter walked out of the mirrored corridor with his authority eyes.

Nice hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's going on inside?"

Kanter: "It's nothing, it's similar to the previous sub-control node, it's pure magic pattern."

Nice: "Has Angel found anything?"

The reason why Nice asked Kanter about Angor's situation was because the eyes of the authorized eye were closed at this time, and Angor was also silent in the soul belt. Obviously, Angor blocked the information from the outside world.

Kanter: "I didn't ask specifically, but Angel said that he can try to crack the location of the master control node, and he is probably in the process of cracking it now."

"Let's go, let's go to the showroom on this floor first. According to Angel, you can take two pieces from the showroom on this floor, and more than that will trigger an alert."

Nice nodded naturally. While looking for information, it would be good for him to obtain more exhibits.Even if no information is really found, these exhibits can still be used to study soul weapons.

On the way back, Niss asked: "In the sub-control node, is there nothing else except the magic pattern? Is there a hunting sequence?"

Kant nodded: "Yes, the hunting sequence numbered 3, sleeping in it."

Nice: "So, each sub-control node has a high-sequence mechanical puppet."

Kanter: "That's right."

The first floor is the hunting sequence with number 5, the second floor is the hunting sequence with number 4, and the third floor is the hunting sequence with number 3. According to this rule, it is not difficult to deduce that the fourth floor may be number 2, and the fifth floor It is number 1.

But if we really follow this rule, there will be a problem.

"The sub-control nodes of each layer have a hunting sequence, and as the number of layers increases, the sequence number increases, and the strength also increases... If this continues, what about the main control node?"

There are five sub-control nodes on the fifth floor, and the first five hunting sequences each guard one.

The master control node is obviously more important than the control node. Will there also be a "guardian" in the master control node?Could it be the legendary number 00?
Nice felt a little uneasy.

Kanter told Nice not to think too much. Even if there is number 00, his strength should not be much higher than other sequences. At most, he is at the level of a second-level true wizard. Kanter thinks he can still deal with it.Even if he reached the third level of true knowledge, Kanter felt that there was a way...to escape.

Rather than worrying about No. 00, Kanter is more worried about the person Ferro met who could blur his memory.

That existence may be the real hidden boss.

……

Minutes later, they returned to the medical center.

I didn't stay in the medical center for too long because I was eager to find a sub-control node.Now that I have time, I naturally cannot skip it hastily.

Such a medical center must have some experimental records.

Finding the experimental records may be of great help to Nice's future research on soul weapons.

Because Reynolds was "born" in the medical center, he was very familiar with it, and under his leadership, Nice quickly found a stack of records.

The vast majority of them are medical records, and the remaining small part is related to experimental records, all about the experimental subject with number X, and related research on the compatibility with the soul armament.

Although there is a gap with the envisioned situation, from a knowledge theory point of view, these also involve soul armaments, and there are some gains in the end.

And, from the medical records, they also learned one thing.

On the 23rd, the day before, that is, before the fighters went to the lair, they took the initiative to enter the cold water to recuperate.

The reason for cultivating is because No. 23 was attacked by a monster, but the specific monster was not recorded in the medical records.

Nis guessed from the burnt injury on the 23rd that it was probably a monster that was good at using fire.

But when Nice asked Reynolds if there were similar monsters in the laboratory, Reynolds shook his head.

Shaking your head doesn't mean no, it means you don't know.

As far as Reynolds knows, the monsters raised in captivity in the laboratory are basically water-type sea beasts, and none of them are good at fire.However, because the laboratory often needs monster organs, it is normal to occasionally have fire monsters in the laboratory, but they will be chopped into pieces soon.

Because the specific situation could not be determined, and it was not a very important matter, Niss did not continue to investigate. After packing up the relevant experimental records, they left the medical center and walked towards the exhibition room.

They did not encounter any obstacles along the way, and they arrived at the showroom smoothly.
