Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 2406
As soon as Nice and Kanter stepped into the fourth basement floor, they could clearly feel the difference in the atmosphere.

The first three floors seemed extremely cold and silent. Although there was no sense of death, 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 a person with their own eyes, the brighter lights, the different smells mixed in the air, and the distant rustling sounds from time to time all indicated that there was someone here. , and there are many of them.

Led by 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 shaking figures appeared.

Nice squinted his eyes and looked at Kanter: "Are we going there directly, or in a covert way?"

Kantor: "Before Angel finds the master control node, it is naturally best to be able to hide. However, how do you plan to hide?"

Nice had a wicked smile on his face, and pointed at the silent bone armor knight, the meaning was self-evident.

Covert way?Naturally, it is hidden by physical means.Just knock the two people in front of you unconscious, and you will be able to pass silently.

After understanding Nice's approach, Kanter only felt a slight twitch in the corner of his eyes.Sure enough, with Nice's behavior pattern, he would definitely choose this method of real name "hard core" and anonymous name "reckless".

Kanter sighed silently, stretched out his fingers, and there was a night-like darkness condensed on the fingertips.

After a while, the night-like darkness covered Kanter's body, and spread at an extremely fast speed, covering Ness, Reynolds, and the huge bone armor knight.

When the darkness covered everyone, standing under the light, the four of them looked like human silhouettes with black shadow mosaics, and they looked more conspicuous than before.

Nice looked at Kanter and tried to convey it with his eyes: it's not night, and being possessed by darkness is not as good as a hardcore attack.

However, they are all in the dark at this moment, and it is difficult to convey information with their eyes alone.

However, Kanter dared to use this ability, so he naturally had his intentions. Even if Nice didn't ask, he would explain: "Don't stand in the middle of the corridor, there is light on it, and walk against the wall."

The light source of the corridor comes from directly above, walking in the middle, they are just dark mosaics without any shading effect.

However, in the eyes of Nice and Reynolds, it is useless to step aside.Because, the corridor itself is not spacious, the light source is enough to cover the edge of the corridor.

If you walk aside, the light will be a little darker at most, and they will still be found as a few black shadows.

Amidst everyone's doubts, Kanter walked to the position against the wall first.

Then, a miraculous scene appeared. 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 the naked eye, energy eye, and soul eye, but even so, there is no trace of Kanter.

"A small trick, as long as there is a little shadow, it can amplify the effect of being covered." Kanter said.

Although the edge of the corridor is also covered by light, because of the angle, there is always a layer of less obvious shadow at the bottom of the edge.Usually these shadows do not affect the line of sight, but Kanter's trick directly borrowed this inconspicuous shadow to hide his figure.

With Kanter's example, others leaned against the wall.

Nice felt the strange feeling of being covered by shadows, and there was a bit of surprise in his eyes: "Is this the ability of the Shadow Department?"

Kanter didn't answer directly, but said lightly: "This is a gift from the night."

With the cover of shadows, 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 were the backs who had just walked away, and two people standing nearby. They were wearing silver-white uniforms with a mechanical feel. The face numbers are 61 and 62.

"The two of them are researchers. I don't know what they are researching. I have no contact with them on weekdays." Reynolds said in the psychic belt.

"Researcher? Listen to what they are saying." Nice didn't leave in a hurry, anyway, they were covered by shadows, and their abilities were enough to hide the leaking waves.

No. 61 and No. 62 did not stay where they were, but walked forward while talking.However, they didn't know that there were four figures hidden in the shadows around them.

No. 62: "Although No. 47 said that everything is under control, it is absolutely impossible to come to the fourth floor, but I always feel a little nervous."

No. 61: "Don't worry, all the Eyes of Power have been activated on the fourth floor, so it can't get in. Even if it does come in, it doesn't matter. Unlike the first three floors, the consoles on the fourth floor have been fully controlled. If it dares to come, even if you can't kill it in a short time, you can still trap it, use the magic energy circle to grind it slowly, and when the high sequence returns, it will be easy..."

While talking, they turned their heads and walked into a room.

Nice and the others didn't follow, not because they didn't want to, but because the magic pattern in this room was shining with obvious light. Maybe No. 61 and No. 62 have the authority to go in directly, but once they step in, they might be blocked. The magic pattern was discovered.

Nice looked at the glow of the magic pattern in the room, and sighed softly: "The fourth floor may not be as easy as the first few floors."

After a pause, Nice looked at Reynolds: "Do you know what's going on with these magic lines?"

Reynolds was also looking at the activated magic pattern at this time, and he was stunned for a while before saying: "This is the phenomenon that the magic array is fully activated. The last time this happened, I remember when a combatant rebelled. When the magic energy circle is activated, if there is no relevant authority, there is almost nowhere to escape."

Nice frowned: "That is to say, as long as the magic pattern is activated, you can't go in?"

Reynolds: "You must have permission to enter, otherwise you will be locked by the magic circle."

The magic array is recognized by energy, so as long as there is energy in the body entering it, it will be locked immediately, even a true wizard cannot escape.Unless someone who has mastered some special laws, or a space wizard who is proficient in magic patterns, it is possible to enter the activated area silently between the magic patterns.

But there are few space wizards themselves, and even fewer are proficient in magic patterns.What's more, the magic array here was arranged by magicians from the source world. If you want to find the flaws in this magic array, the strength of the magic pattern must be at least similar to that of the installer. The southern region is a place where magicians are weak, and it is basically impossible. Find similar people.

Nice: "Then do you have permission?"

Reynolds shook his head: "This kind of emergency authority is issued temporarily, and I don't have it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Reynolds felt a bit of fighting spirit floating in Nice. He could probably guess what Nice was thinking, so he added: "Authority cannot be taken away, even if you capture and control a person with authority , and it is difficult for us to use. Because the authority is engraved on the soul mark."

"Moreover, emergency authority is one for each person."

In other words, even if a person with authority is controlled to go to the magic circle, he can only use it alone. It is impossible to bring everyone else into the showroom with the authority of Reynolds alone like before. .

After Reynolds finished speaking, Nice immediately lost his mood.

According to the current situation, wouldn't it be impossible to enter most of the rooms?What about the showroom, his exhibits are gone?

More importantly, the information he wanted could not be placed in the corridor, and must be in a certain room.

I can't enter the room, and the data is also gone.

"Then what should we do now?"

Kanter: "If you don't want to force your way, the only way is to wait for the results from Angel."

Nice thought about it, and now it seems that there is only one way.He originally wanted Toby to call Angor and talk to him about the situation here, but in the end he decided to forget it. Angor must be studying the magic pattern to find the main control node. Interrupt, let's wait until he finishes his research.

In the following time, everyone walked carefully on the fourth floor while confirming the area where the magic pattern was activated.

During this process, they also met many researchers in silver uniforms. They all had a characteristic, their expressions were serious, and they walked in a hurry, as if there was danger following behind them, and if they walked a little slower, they would be swallowed by 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. It seems that some creature broke into the laboratory?" Nice: "I feel that this may be the reason why there are no people on the first three floors."

"Could it be some kind of monster?"

During the discussion between No. 61 and No. 62, the name of the intruder was not mentioned throughout, and only "it" was used instead.The interpretation of "it" is generally considered to be an inhuman creature in the common language of the mainland.However, sometimes "it" can also be used to refer to human beings. For example, extreme humanists will call other human species "it", which has a contemptuous meaning. There are many people who look down on Zhiren, even after the "Human Amendment Act" has been recognized for many years, they will use "it" to refer to humans.

"Monsters broke into the laboratory? It should be impossible. Generally speaking, it is 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 knew This place is too familiar, even the mechanism of duty is well understood, so that it can sneak in silently.

Without the leadership of the insiders, let alone creating 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 thought it made sense, just like this time, if there was no Angel, they would definitely be stuck at the door.

Even if a monster has a high IQ, does it still know how to use magic patterns?
"Could it be that the monsters raised in captivity in the laboratory rioted?" Nice: "Didn't you say that there were some monsters raised in the laboratory? Didn't you and Nausicaa were chased by monsters last time and forced to escape?" Ascension to heaven?"

Reynolds hesitated for a moment, then said: "There is such a possibility, but even if there is a riot in the captive monsters in the laboratory, no one can deal with them. What's more, if we dare to captive monsters, there must be manipulation their means."

"That's what I said, but how should I 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, which clearly stated that No. 23 was attacked by a monster, and finally had to take the initiative to enter the cold water repair.

Although there is no clear record on the 23rd of what this monster is, and it is impossible to determine whether it is a captive monster, but what is known is that there must be some monsters that have changed.

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 are infested by monsters.

Facing this medical record, Reynolds was also a little dumbfounded.

"Perhaps the combatants left, making it impossible to suppress certain monsters?" Reynolds guessed to himself, but he didn't really believe in this guess.

It is true that researchers are proficient in research, but it is impossible to say that they have no combat effectiveness.Because wizards are basically all-round development, it's just that some people are better at fighting, and some are good at research.

Because many things cannot be explained, it is meaningless to discuss further, Niss thought for a while and said: "Continue to investigate the news first, and then find the way to the fifth floor along the way."

There are so many people shrunk on the fourth floor, and they don't even care about the consumption. The magic energy array has been 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 attack inside the laboratory, they can escape to the fourth floor at most. The fifth floor should not dare to trespass of.

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 many halls, such as the experimental center.Will the magic circles in these places also be activated?

With trepidation, 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 sound of footsteps reverberated with a distant and repeated ghostly feeling.

"I always feel that every step of yours can make my heart thump, it's so bloody." Dan Gross trembled.

Angel glanced at Dan Gross: "Do you have a heart? Also, you made a mistake in using the word. You shouldn't say seeping people, but... Seeing fire."

"..."

Angel has left the sub-control node on the first floor at this time, and he can basically confirm that the main control node is on this floor.However, he still needs to determine where it is.

He can use the sub-control nodes on the second and third floors to calculate directly, but this is a bit slow, so he is going to visit the first floor, through the distribution of magic lines here, combined with the sub-control nodes on the second and third floors, and finally go to Lock the position of the master node.

That's how he spends his time wandering the corridors now.

After walking around for about 10 minutes, Angel's eyes suddenly stopped at a corner.

Abnormal energy fluctuations appeared there... moreover, it wasn't energy from the magic circle.
