I'm a villain, not a devil

"Which saint is coming?"

When the electronic female voice asked the question, the woman did not answer, but took out the key again and waved it.

"Testing...Comparison passed, welcome."

The mechanical door made a pushing and pulling sound, and a large amount of cold fog poured out from inside.

Sean, who was hiding in the back, had a strange look on his face. This voice, this question...

It's basically the same as Noah.

"Noah."

"I am here, Saint Three."

"Is this place recorded in your database?" Sean asked.

Noah immediately gave an answer: "There is no relevant record in the database. According to the comparison, the system in front of you is 62% similar to me. My voice was set by the founder of the database. It was set using the voice of a female researcher at the institute, and then modified and adapted based on data from various parties. The uniqueness is not very high."

"However, considering the special nature of the Mind Hall, the system voices of other shelters during design were not close to mine. In addition, considering the questions asked by the other party's system, I think the other party might be imitating the Mind Hall in some way."

Sean nodded thoughtfully, he thought so too.

Judging from the current situation, the other party is like the real version of the Hall of Thought. Of course, the specific situation depends on the internal structure.

The woman who looked at Bai Zhan's body walked into the room. Just as Sean was about to go in, Noah reminded him, "There is an early warning device in this place. The outer layer of the Mind Hall detected unusual fluctuations, which was inferred to be the etheric body scanning technology. This technology should have a unique nature, that is, only the Mind Hall has it, but the other party seems to have mastered this technology."

"The guards are so tight... Noah, can you handle it?" Sean muttered. After the woman entered, the door began to close.

"The other party has an extremely strong grasp of the etheric body scanning technology. You are now an etheric body, and I am just following you as etheric data. Without a carrier, my computing power is insufficient. It is estimated that it will take more than four hours to hack in with only this computing power."

Sean was surprised and asked, "Is the computing power difference so big?"

"Yes, Saint Three. Moreover, even if you come in person, it will take me more than 20 minutes to hack into the etheric scanning layer of this system. This is cutting-edge technology at the same level as the Hall of Thought."

"Squeak——" In the short time that I was talking to Noah in my mind, the door was closed.

"This is a lot more troublesome than I thought..." Sean muttered.

Noah gave his suggestion: "If my guess is consistent with yours, then the other party has most likely referred to the design structure of the Mind Hall. I can point out the location of the escape route based on the structure of the Mind Hall. That is a place that only the owner of the Mind Hall, that is, you, is qualified to use. It is used for the etheric body to escape in case of an accident. It is only concealed and has no defensive properties."

"Is this possible? However, I am in a cemetery now. Can you scan the periphery?"

Noah was silent for a moment, then said, "No, but I have reconstructed it based on the scene just now. Saint Three, do you want to try? If so, please follow my instructions."

"Okay, lead the way."

"Please return to the previous exit..."

This cemetery based on a shelter was much larger than expected. After all, Sean was an etheric body and needed to remain hidden all the time. It took him quite a while to arrive at a location according to Noah's instructions.

This place is also a tomb chamber, and the door of the tomb is closed.

Just as Sean was about to ask Noah what to do with the key, the door opened by itself.

Noah explained, "While I was leading you, I used the database to analyze it. My initial judgment is that this shelter should have some relationship with the founder of the Mind Hall. It is very likely that one of the founder's personal assistants secretly built it. If you want to reproduce the structure of the Mind Hall in reality, you must have the Genesis Stone Tablet."

"The key used by the woman you followed before was also a replica. It was a replica of a stone tablet, but it was only similar in structure. In the end, only a few functions could be used, so it was used as the key to this place."

Sean couldn't help laughing: "They have met the Grandmaster."

Noah's voice was flat. "If we judge by order, ability level, program capacity, etc., I can indeed be their ancestor as you said. The key is just a replica of the ether band in the Genesis Slate, and all the ether bands in the Mind Hall are recorded in my database. The exhaustive time is one minute and twenty-one seconds."

"Brilliant."

Sean gave a thumbs up and walked into the tomb.

There was a medium-sized coffin in the tomb, which was much smaller than Bai Zhan's. Judging from the gap, the coffin was obviously opened and closed.

Sean glanced around, looking confused.

If the bodies of all the royal family members who entered the cemetery were taken away, the coffins here should still be open... It would be almost impossible for anyone except Sean to come in and explore this place.

It is already extremely difficult to possess an etheric body as a carrier, and one must also have the Hall of Thought and Noah to come and go freely. Other people who enter here are either dead or the emperor's confidants... There is no need to come back to finish the work after finishing it.

Walking forward, Sean moved it slightly. The physical force that the etheric body could control was not great, but the coffin was still easily pushed open. Obviously, the seal of the coffin had long since failed.

Pushing the coffin lid slightly, Sean was about to move over to take a look.

Just as his etheric body approached and was about to see the scene inside the coffin, suddenly, a strong feeling of palpitations surged into his heart.

Sean didn't hesitate at all and took several steps back in an instant.

He looked shocked and looked at the opened coffin in doubt.

Sean had anticipated the pollution, indescribable terrible things and so on, and of course, he also had ways to deal with them.

But, to his shock, the palpitations did not originate from him.

It was the mark that the seducer Gao Yi left in Sean's spiritual world...

That part of the mark had been completely suppressed by Sean, and even became one of the "energy sources" for Sean to strengthen himself. Logically speaking, it shouldn't have its own fluctuations...

There was a flash of understanding in Sean's eyes.

Is it... something that I cannot perceive at my current level? Only when I reach the highest level of a potential seducer, I will be able to perceive it?

At the same time, there was only a tiny trace of Gao Wei left in my body, and it was obviously not enough energy.

That is to say, the things in this coffin... are on the same level as Gao Zhi's body?

Thinking of this, Sean took a deep breath. There was actually a complete body of an evil god hidden in the cemetery?

This is obviously not the bloodline of the imperial royal family.

At the same time, the similarities between the emperor and the prisoners in the Black Dove Prison have provided a lot of room for imagination... More importantly, this place is the entrance and exit of the escape passage of the Thinking Hall mentioned by Noah.

Only Sean is qualified to use the escape passage in the Thinking Hall, so naturally only the owner of this "replica" in reality can use it.

Sean looked at the coffin.

This was the escape route the emperor left for himself... But why did he feel that he would be trapped in this unknown mausoleum and would have to use the escape passage to get out?

It is even possible that this coffin contains the next body that the emperor has prepared for himself?

Sean did not choose to ignore the instinct of the high-ranking mark, but honestly closed the coffin again.

After taking a quick look around, Sean finally found the original owner of the tomb.

"Bai Yuan..."

Sean read out the other person's name, and according to the subsequent introduction, this coffin was supposed to be that of a child who died young.

Judging from the time, he died more than ten years ago. If he hadn't died, he would be an adult prince now. According to the laws of the empire, he would even be eligible to compete for the right of inheritance.

Sean continued to look down, and then his eyes narrowed slightly.

The biological mother of this young prince named Bai Yuan is... Grand Duke Yuantie?

Strange, I've never heard that Grand Duke Yuantie has a second son...

As the Grand Duchess of the Empire, the relationship between Grand Duchess Yuantie and the Emperor is more like that of a chat or a night of sleep. Because she is powerful and a military commander, it is obvious that Grand Duchess Yuantie cannot gain the trust of the royal family, let alone be allowed to enter the palace and become a concubine.

This can be seen from the attitudes of Bai Youming and the emperor. The second prince Bai Wen, the biological son of Grand Duke Yuantie, is the least popular among the princes and princesses.

However, this also leads to another point. At least when it comes to his own son, Grand Duke Yuantie has more say.

With the power and autonomy of Grand Duke Yuantie, would the son she gave birth to "unfortunately" die? She is not one of those concubines with little real power...

Sean was skeptical.

"Strange..." Sean muttered a few words and memorized the name Bai Yuan in his mind.

He has no way to deal with this coffin for the time being, and he has more important things to do right now.

Following Noah's instructions, Sean searched the tomb and finally opened an escape passage in a hidden corner.

Unlike the previous one, this passage had obviously not had any living creatures pass through it for a long time. Even the most advanced dust prevention system could not prevent the ground from being covered with dust.

However, Sean is an etheric body, so he doesn't have to worry about leaving footprints.

This time, he went down much faster, and soon arrived at the door of the escape passage.

"Please wait..." A few seconds after Noah finished speaking, the door of the escape passage automatically popped open.

Looking at the traces left by the movement of the mechanical door, Sean pondered for a moment and then walked in.

There was indeed no ether scanning network in this place. After walking through the short corridor, Sean was not discovered by any early warning facilities.

"Hmm, this place, why haven't I seen it in the Thinking Hall?" Sean looked around. This place was not as majestic as the Thinking Hall. It looked more like a storage room that had not been taken care of for a long time.

Noah replied: "Similar to the overall structure of the Mind Hall, what you usually see are the main usage areas. At the same time, you can regard this place as the energy area of ​​the Mind Hall. The escape passage is hidden here."

Sean nodded thoughtfully and walked out of the small room.

Then, even Sean, who had seen countless weird things and was used to big scenes, was slightly stunned.

What appeared before his eyes was a large energy operation area, with dense pipes, data cables, etc. connected everywhere. Below the pipes were countless small energy cabins, and everything was connected to the bottom of the huge energy cabin above.

This place is like a high-tech ventricle magnified many times.

Everything is designed to power that huge energy compartment, which is the heart.

This was not what shocked Sean. What shocked him was that those small energy cabins that were densely arranged in a specific order were working, and through the brown cabin walls he could see human bodies soaking in the red liquid.

Men, women, young and old, all kinds of human beings are immersed in the small energy capsule.

They floated motionless inside, with a worm-shaped tube connected to their heads from the top of the energy capsule.

Every time the huge energy cabin above rolls, the energy cabin below will perform the same operation.

At this time, the humans floating silently in it will shrink rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, just like a balloon that has been deflated.

The tube connected to the head will wriggle madly like a worm that has swallowed food, transmitting what it has just absorbed to the "heart" at the top.

Then, the tubes would fall off, and the human, who was almost left with only skin, would slowly sink. A device near the bottom of the energy cabin would begin to vibrate, and the movement would be like someone riding a bicycle inside, accompanied by disgusting sounds of flesh and blood squirming.

Finally, with an inhuman sound that was half crying and half laughing, a person with almost the same appearance as before would float up again.

The fleshy worm opened its mouth wide, revealing its terrifyingly sharp ring-shaped teeth, and bit the man's head.

After a brief twitch, the person who was sucked in would float quietly in it again, waiting for the next beat of the huge heart at the top.

Sean narrowed his eyes and walked to a small energy cabin.

Through the brown glass, you can see that there is a young woman who is about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

She floated naked in it, like a corpse floating on the water.

The Heart of Deception was slightly activated, and Sean's face looked solemn.

The woman inside...is not dead.

She is still alive.

However, even Sean didn't know how the other party survived.

After looking around, Sean noticed that the woman had an eye tattoo on the back of her neck, and the style of the tattoo was exactly the mark of the Imperial Army's standard weapons.

This kind of tattoo is not something that ordinary people can get, and tattoo artists also have strict requirements when making it.

This also means that this woman... is a soldier, a member of the Imperial Army.
