Demon Gatekeeper [Unlimited]

"What is this? A secret passage?" The players surrounded the stairs.

The left and right classics couldn't fall asleep, and the players planned to go downstairs to see what happened.

The lion persuaded: "Don't go all in, what if it's a trap?"

Shan Yu: "Do you want to go halfway?"

Dugu has already arranged for his teammates: "Xiao Yi and I will take Kong Ran down. You stay on top, pay attention to safety."

Killer: "Yeah."

Doctor: "Don't worry."

Gang Jing: "Let's be safe? You should worry more about yourself."

Yu Yuan put his hands between Dugu's fingers, interlocked his fingers, and smiled sweetly: "Brother Ajia is protected by me, you don't have to worry."

The trio eating dog food:  …

Chu Xing, who watched everything: ...

The person who enters the secret passage is determined.

On Shan Yu's side were still Chu Xing and Ning Yu, while the lion took Tutu and Xiaohou.

After confirming the candidate, several people formed a row and walked down the secret passage.

In order to prevent being trapped, the people who went down each brought their own backpacks and took out the lights from the inside to explore the way.

The secret passage was deep and narrow, allowing only one person to pass through, and everyone walked in a vertical row. Dugu asked Kong Ran to stand between him and Yu Yuan.After walking for an hour, I still haven't seen the end.

Dugu yawned a little. They didn't sleep for a few hours that night. Fortunately, there was food found in the supermarket yesterday in the backpack. Dugu opened a bag of candy to refresh everyone.

After another half an hour, an upward staircase finally appeared ahead.Everyone was shocked.The lion was the first in line, walked up first, pushed the top door, it was locked, and there was a disc-shaped mechanism facing him, with some strange lines on it, the lion twisted a few times, but nothing open.

The lion described the appearance of the lock to others: "Can anyone open this kind of lock? Or is there any other way to open the door."

"If there is a gap, I can turn it into sand and climb up the gap." Chu Xing thought for a while and said.

The lion looked up again at the exit above his head, shook his head and said, "It's sealed."

Xiao Hou stretched his right arm: "How about I just punch it away with my fist?"

Kong Ran hurriedly stopped: "No, this is a mechanism lock, the material is very strong, and if it is violently demolished, it will be locked automatically, and the hidden defense mechanism may be triggered."

"The mechanism lock?" The lion looked at Kong Ran: "Then can you open it?"

Kong Ran pursed his lips cautiously, took a quick glance at Dugu from the corner of his eye, and said in a low voice, "I'll give it a try."

The person in front turned sideways to make room for Kong Ran and asked him to move to the front of the line.

With the light of the searchlight, Kong Ran stretched out his hand to the mechanism lock above his head.

Kong Ran said to give it a try, but he actually knew how to open it. The technology of mechanism locks is a core technology of the Kong family. Only the direct descendants of the Kong family know how to unlock the locks, not even their cousin Dr. K.What Kong Ran couldn't understand was why such a lock appeared in the secret passage under the apartment. Isn't the research institute on this island in charge of his cousin?

Kong Ran was thinking about something, but his fingers quickly fiddled with the lock. Half a minute later, with a crisp metal impact, Kong Ran easily pushed open the upward door.

This is also a bedroom, and the place where they come out is under the closet.Pushing open the closet door, you are facing the big bed in the bedroom, and farther away is the floor-to-ceiling window, the curtains are not closed, from here you can see the garden outside and the dim light from the ground.

This is a garden villa, much more refined than the dormitory they lived in before.The players took out the map and compared it, and found that they had entered the experimental area unknowingly.The only person living in the experimental area was Dr. K himself.

"This is my cousin's house. I've seen it in pictures." Kong Ran gave a definite answer.

"Your cousin? Dr. K?" Chu Xing touched his chin and thought about it: "So from the residence of ordinary researchers, there is a secret passage that directly leads to Dr. K's bedroom. Does Dr. K know about this?"

Kong Ran shook his head: "I probably don't know, my cousin doesn't belong to the direct line, so he can't open that lock. Besides, the path is one-way. When this path is locked, it looks like an ordinary wardrobe from above."

Xiao Hou scratched his ears: "But why is this, the wealthy family is fighting among themselves? It doesn't make sense. Yu Gong, your father is the boss of X Group, so what else can you not get? Besides, the research institute on Yeguang Island is also the same. Does it belong to Company X? Doesn’t Dr. K’s research results also belong to the company, which means that your cousin is working for your father. In private, he is your cousin, so your father should be his own uncle, and use it with his nephew What is he trying to do with this method?"

"Xiao Hou." The lion gave Xiao Hou a hand. His teammate's character is blunt and frank, even if he is too blunt. Even if it is an NPC, it is not appropriate to say that the other party's father and cousin are at odds in front of others.

"Research diary!" Ning Yu found an exquisite cowhide book from the desk, which contained some handwritten research diaries.

A few people hurriedly followed around, Ning Yu flipped through a few pages, and found a large section of technical terms inside, which looked like a heavenly book, so he handed the cowhide copy to Kong Ran.

Although Kong Ran was young, he had shared the same interests with his cousin since he was a child, and he had read many related professional books. In the past, his cousin would occasionally treat some research findings as interesting stories to him.After getting the other party's experiment notes, Kong Ran quickly understood that there were not many responsible experiment parameters, and those were all written in the experiment report, which mainly included the experiments done every day. What did you discover, what problems did you encounter, etc.Very flowing, just a diary of a scientific researcher.

Kong Ran flipped through the pages from the front, and while reading, he briefly explained to the people around him.

"This diary started recording two years ago. At that time, the research on the force transformation experiment was just started here. The first experimental subjects were small animals, such as rabbits, frogs, and mice."

"There was a problem with the radiation parameters in the first few times, which caused all the experimental subjects to die. After almost half a month, the first mutation finally appeared..."

The lion interrupted him: "You don't need to go into such details, just give it a general idea."

"Yeah." Kong Ran flipped faster: "Two months later, they realized the animal mutation for the first time. Although the effect of the mutation was uncertain, the mutated animals became extremely powerful and ferocious without exception. Later they Experiments were carried out on medium-sized animals, large animals, aquatic animals, birds, insects and plants, etc. However, insects and plants could not accept the force radiation, and the experiments all failed.

"Other animals have found a stable radiation frequency, which can [-]% ensure that the animal mutates. And while the mutated animal is strengthening itself, the metabolism of the body is accelerated, and the cells are constantly reproducing and renewing. This means that if the mutated animal is not destroyed If killed by external force, they can almost achieve immortality."

"But there are also problems with mutated animals. Without exception, they lose their sanity and fertility."

"A year ago, the research hit a bottleneck."

Kong Ran suddenly became quiet.Look carefully, his hands are still trembling slightly.

"What's the matter?" asked the Lion.

Kong Ran raised his head, with fear and bewilderment in his eyes: "My cousin started the human experiment half a year ago. That's when my communication with him was cut off."

The players gasped, thinking of the monsters that appeared in the dormitory building.

"How could it be? My cousin told me that unless there is a sufficient theoretical basis, he will never conduct human experiments rashly. That is inhumane. Besides, their experiments are completely confidential. Where can they find volunteers?" Kong Ran quickly turned the page, the more frightened he looked: "Failure, failure again, failure again. They tried many times and failed without exception. Those people turned into irrational monsters. Afterwards ..."

Kong Ran wanted to know what happened here, but found that the diary stopped abruptly here, and there were a few pages of torn paper in the back of the book.

The lion was a little depressed when he heard it, and let out a foul breath from his chest: "It seems that we still need to go to the laboratory to find the experimental records."

He also said: "See if there is anything else useful, if not, go back, it's almost dawn."

After Dugu entered the room, he didn't speak, and stood quietly by the side, staring out the window in a daze.He felt very wrong.They discovered the secret passage because of the disappearance of Mou Zhen's team. Now it is known that the mechanism lock is one-way, which means that Mou Zhen has never been to the secret passage.So do they know the existence of the secret way, and where did they go after they disappeared?

And here, because of Kong Ran's existence, whether they were opening the lock or reading the notes, they all went smoothly, as if they were deliberately guided by someone. This passive feeling made him a little uneasy, but there was no basis for it.

And there are too few demons this time. So far, only four have appeared. Although these four demons are indeed very strong, except for the attack by the beast tide, they disappeared completely from behind. flustered.What made Dugu even more flustered was, where did Ling Jiuqing go?The opponent followed their team for three worlds. Although the reason is still unclear, since the opponent has five fragments, it should also appear five times.

Dugu Wu was in a daze, and the players in front had already returned to the secret passage one after another.

"What is brother thinking?" Yu Yuan's slender hand shook in front of Dugu.

Dugu came back to his senses, smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm probably sleepy, a little distracted."

Instinctively, he felt that it would be better not to mention the name Ling Jiuqing in front of Yu Yuan.

The warm light of the morning sun replaced the fluorescent light at night to light up the land bit by bit. Dugu was the last one to walk into the secret passage, and when he turned his head, he noticed a tall tower with a steeple outside the floor-to-ceiling window. They had seen it before when they entered the central city.

Dugu: "What is that?"

Kong Ran, who was walking in front of Dugu, poked his head out and looked: "That is a signal tower, it was mentioned in the records, because the restlessness of strange beasts is difficult to control, but they will be instinctively attracted by the signal of food. So we built it The signal tower uses the food signal to run around the Luminous Island with the beasts, consumes the energy of the beasts, and then sends out sleep signals at night to control the beasts to fall asleep."

Xiaohou suddenly realized, and slapped his legs: "If we knew this, shouldn't we be safe by traveling at night?"

Kong Ran shook his head: "When this signal tower finds outsiders entering, it will also send a food signal to the alien beasts to prevent outsiders from invading and spying on the secrets here. We encountered beast tides twice, which means that the signal trajectory is two concentric circles. And The signal tower directed the alien beast to the position where we meet us on the main road."

"But since you said that, could those humanoid monsters have been commanded by the signal tower last night, and someone moved the signal tower?" Dugu asked back.

Kong Ran was slightly stunned and then nodded: "Very likely."

Dugu lowered his eyes thoughtfully: Who could it be, the devil?Or Mou Zhen?

If it is a demon, how do they know the principle and operation method of the signal tower?If it was Mou Zhen...then his disappearance was intentional.

The author has something to say: I'm gooing again, sorry.It's the card text, the kind of card that writes one thousand in two hours and then deletes eight hundred later... QAQ, wait for me to sort out my thoughts.
