I'm not a hero, but I didn't say I couldn't beat you.

"Report, Miss Milani, I have arrived at the target location."

Fu'er stood in the ruins, feeling the fluctuations in front of him.

It was like a layer of gauze covering all the breath. If he hadn't been quick to react, he might not have even noticed that the door to his destination was in front of him.

"How do I get in?"

I knocked on the barrier in front of me and it felt soft, like a layer of bubbles.

"You must have brought all the equipment assigned to you."

"Ah."

Fu'er put down his backpack. Just yesterday, all the rations provided by the Administration for his actions were delivered to Fu'er through Gerald. There were not many things. In addition to communication equipment and portable sensory synchronization equipment, there were only two machines.

A "cracking key", a highly sensitive disaster probe.

"Take out the secret key and press the red button."

Fu'er took out the cracking key and opened the button cover to prevent accidental touch. Apart from a small screen showing an English code, there were only two buttons on it.

One red, one blue.

"Then what is that blue button for?"

Fu'er couldn't help but asked curiously.

"I know this! It was a self-destruction!"

"what?"

A blood-pressure-raising sound came from the communication device.

"...Hartz, go back and investigate your case!"

"Oh……"

With a clicking sound of electricity, Hartz's communication line was disconnected, leaving the support officer with a long sigh.

"Hey--"

"Then... let me continue the investigation?"

"Let's investigate. By the way, the blue button is for adaptive environment data reset. This thing was developed by the expedition team. The standard is fool-like one-button operation. Don't worry about Hartz's nonsense."

"I see……"

Fu'er nodded, and then pressed the button of the secret key in his hand.

As a special wave spread from the instrument in his hand, it collided with the barrier and melted. Finally, a door appeared in front of Ful.

Different from the Greek-style buildings of Prometheus University that occupies the main building area on this border, and different from those modern laboratories composed of metal and lines, what is in front of you is a stone door.

Shimen Mountain seems to be carved with patterns, like a big tree hanging upside down.

"This is…………"

"It seems that the abandoned research institute you are investigating may contain important information. Be prepared. Is there any reaction from the highly sensitive probe?"

Through Ful's sense sharing, Milani also saw the graphics on the door at the headquarters. He turned his head and looked at the video record on Hartz's side, which was completely different from the other side.

Since it is different, it represents something special.

"The probe has no response, and the surrounding distortion is still within the normal range of this border."

"So, what about your ability? Or Harts's."

Fu'er called out the battle ax and felt it carefully.

"nor."

"Then let's get ready to investigate. Can you open this door?"

"Let me try."

Fu'er tried to push the door hard and looked around for the mechanism.

"It seems like it can't be opened directly, and I haven't seen any mechanism. Can't the secret key open this place?"

"I checked and found that the energy supply to this gate has been cut off, so it can only be demolished by force."

Milani shook her head.

"There won't be any accidents in the forced demolition."

"No, the energy supply system of the gate is not in the same circuit as the internal one. The defense system is with the gate. But this is good news. It means that no matter what big move you make, you are not afraid of machine gun bombs. I'm kind of looking at you."

"That's really good news -"

Fu'er clenched the battle ax in his hand, adjusted his thoughts slightly, and recast the weapon.

"In other words, can we make a big fuss?"

"Don't be like this, I have some PTSD."

"Oh...Sorry, it's always a little bit..." when using his abilities.

Fu Er smiled awkwardly, then raised his weapon.

The light condensed, gathered, and turned into a hammer.

"So--"

Fu Er jumped up with all his strength.

"Sledgehammer 80!"

"boom!"

Along with gravel and dust, the door was smashed into pieces.

"Uh...it seems like I've used too much strength. There's probably no need to save this door..."

"You've smashed it all...forget it, as long as the image data is saved, let's continue exploring. The first goal is to find the data storage center inside. Do you understand?"

"learn."

He casually recovered the giant hammer in his hand and re-condensed it into a short sword suitable for fighting in a small space.

"It's a pity that I'm still too inexperienced to concentrate on things like firearms."

Fu'er said while walking in the long and narrow passage.

"That may be a bit difficult. Hartz also tried for a long time before he could successfully construct a firearm. According to him, constructing a firearm that perfectly complies with the laws of physical construction is not as fast as directly constructing a Gundam. Sometimes when creating entities through fantasy , maybe you need to ignore some of the rules, you can try it next time you have a chance."

"Row."

Passing through the corridor is a square hall with two floors, with Fulzheng on the upper floor.

"There is a door on the opposite side, one on the left and one on the lower floor, and an elevator on the opposite side. How should I get there?"

After scanning the surrounding environment, Fu'er said.

"Wait a minute, the format of this internal structure... I seem to have an impression."

Outside the screen, Milani frowned and kept flipping data with her other hand.

"Found it, strange... Atlas Institute's D-type research institute?"

"You mean...this laboratory belongs to the Atlas Institute?"

"I'm not sure where it belongs, but I compared the internal structure and format and it's indeed the same."

"That is to say, at least it is related."

"Maybe, this part seems necessary to go up and give the guys above a good beating."

While Milani was investigating relevant information, Ful was thinking about something else.

[Atlas Institute], I have not heard of this institution for the first time, but this is the first time I have actually come into contact with it.

My own understanding of it is limited to knowing that it is an organization formed by top "scholars" and that it contains many technologies that can and cannot be said, including even the [Eye of Atum], which was also developed by this organization. out.

The last time I heard the name of this institution was from Teacher Du Rein.

He said that the hero named Yu Yuan died in a mission more than 30 years ago. Even though he was sent to Atlas Academy, his life could not be saved.

"Shred to pieces..."

Fu Er muttered softly.

"what?"

"No, it's nothing. Where should we go next?"

"Take the elevator and go to the bottom floor. The laboratory of this structure, the most important experimental field, is there."

"OK."

Fuer stood up, jumped off the second floor, and walked into the elevator.

He was still thinking before the elevator doors closed.

Why, Teacher Dulain, emphasize the matter of being shattered into pieces?
