Under the instructions of the machine, Ji Jiu and the others finally passed through the equipment layer and came to a concentrated area that was more like a studio.

No enemies were encountered along the way, but other people seemed to have encountered battles one after another. The background sound when Stark was talking to her was the sound of messy impacts and falling to the ground.

"Hey Ji, tell me you're okay."

"Ah! Well, I'm fine." Ji Jiu replied as he walked forward, "I'm just going to meet you."

Stark breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "I'm glad to hear this, in fact, I did encounter some trouble."

"Trouble?" Ji Jiu stopped and asked carefully, "What exactly?"

The other party paused for a moment: "Sterak hid, maybe you can find him."

Ji Jiu thought for a moment: "What does he look like now?"

"Oh, that's not important." Judging from the voice, Iron Man probably punched someone just now, "He escaped from his original body."

...That's why I asked her to look for it.

Ji Jiu finally understood, and quickly responded: "I see, I will find a way."

It seems that the situation of Strack and Dave is different again. Dave is trapped in the body that does not belong to him, and cannot escape until the body rots, but Strack can choose to leave by his own will. It is estimated that he Haven't done the experiment on myself yet.

But now is not the time to think about these things, it will be troublesome if Strucker is allowed to go out from here.

Ji Jiu quickened her pace, she needed a precise and effective way to find him.

It is impossible to seal off this building, and it is not practical to search every corner, so we can only lure him out.

Ji Jiu immediately turned around and went upstairs.

She remembered that the core area except for the laboratory was on the upper floors, and there must be precious materials left there.Will Sterak show up when she is known to be in the same place as the profile?

The layout upstairs is more spacious than the laboratory area, just like a school library, there is no fixed corridor between the small reference rooms, and they are directly connected to each other to form a huge general library.

The staff probably all escaped, and now there is no one here.Many tables were scattered with books and papers. Ji Jiu looked at each table and stuffed all the materials he found useful into his bag.

John was guarding the entrance and exit to prevent anyone from breaking in suddenly. Seeing that he was not there, the copper coins moved a little, and he said, "Do you want to use their research results?"

Ji Jiu didn't expect her to speak at this moment, so she couldn't help but look at John's position, and then replied in a low voice: "Just in case, maybe there are some parts that can help? At least the mistakes can be regarded as Lessons learned from the past.”

The old ancestor pondered: "I hope. But no matter what happened to that guy just now, it's too disgusting."

"After all, it's not my body." Ji Jiu paused, and simply stopped, "But even if it's my body, it's still dead, right? After all, resurrection..."

The old ancestor snorted disdainfully: "You, a psychic, still care about this? Our existence itself is abnormal. Anyway, I won't be as entangled as you are, and the best policy is to enjoy yourself in time."

Ji Jiu: "...I can see it."

Sometimes she also felt that her ancestor was really unrestrained, but she couldn't hurt others for her own sake. This was probably the biggest difference between them.

Of course, she is not as capable as her ancestors.

Ji Jiu moved to the next reference room, and at this moment John came back suddenly, reminding her in a low voice: "Be careful."

Be careful of what?

Before she could ask the question, she heard footsteps—the man seemed to be avoiding something, and his movements seemed a little messy, but he deliberately controlled the volume when he landed, and it became obvious when he got closer.

John didn't directly knock down the opponent, does that mean that the person is not Strack's?

Ji Jiu hid in the corner in doubt, and when he looked again, a thin figure had already entered the field of vision.It was a young boy, no more than a teenager, and he looked familiar.

John whispered, "It's Ben, the teenage hacker."

Ji Jiu: "!???"

In the end, he was still caught here by Strucker?

Holding a laptop computer in his arms, the boy staggered and hid in the depths.Just as he passed by Ji Jiu, he subconsciously turned his head to look at him, and suddenly yelled out in fright: "You! Who are you!"

Ji Jiu didn't answer immediately, and looked at him for a while before smiling: "You don't know me?"

Ben's face changed slightly, and he immediately said seriously: "It's impossible for me to know everyone in this base."

During the conversation, he never set his eyes on John, even if he passed by, he immediately passed through.That is, he couldn't see John.

Ji Jiu and John exchanged glances, bent slightly to look into the boy's eyes, and asked, "If I say I'm not from here, but I can save you, would you believe me?"

Ben suddenly opened his eyes wide, looked left and right, and suddenly grabbed her sleeve and pulled her to the innermost bookshelf: "Are you with the Avengers?"

Ji Jiu asked without answering: "You know they are here? Then why did you come here?"

"They are still upstairs, but all the passages are blocked and I can't walk around. Moreover, some parts of this base can move freely, and if you accidentally trigger it, it will take you to an unknown place, which is more risky." Probably Because he felt that Ji Jiu could be trusted, he lowered his voice and spoke quickly, "I know there is a secret way here to go out directly."

After they talked so much, Ji Jiu didn't see any trace of the young man being possessed, so he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and his tone softened: "When you go out, you will also meet the remaining mechanical soldiers. Upstairs?"

Ben thought for a while, and finally nodded: "From the information I have so far, it should also lead to other places. But I need to recalculate the route."

As he spoke, he opened the laptop and started operating it quickly.Ji Jiu glanced at it, and found that the floor plan was similar to the ones she had seen, wondering if the machine also knew about secret passages.

Just thinking about it, Ben closed the computer and said firmly: "I remember the route."

He took a deep breath, pressed the mechanism on the wall of the bookshelf with a serious face, and the bookshelf facing them moved away, revealing a dark hole.

Ben took a step into the door, and the dim light suddenly extended from his feet, outlining a long and narrow passage.He turned his head and motioned to Ji Jiu, and walked in first by himself.

There are no cameras installed in the passage, which means that the help of the machine cannot be obtained.Ji Jiu hesitated for a moment, but followed suit.

The bookshelf closed silently behind them, and the passage in front of them became darker, and the road under their feet could only be seen clearly through the floor lamp.

There was a straight staircase after the turn, and Benmo counted the numbers until he reached the third such staircase before starting to go up.The upper floor is still a labyrinth-like passage, long and narrow and dark, giving Ji Jiu the illusion of walking in the belly of a giant.

She couldn't help asking, "Is this taking a long way?"

"It doesn't count, it's just that the room we're going to and the reference room just now are diagonally located, so it's not close no matter what... Ah!" Ben suddenly let out a low cry, as if something had fallen to the ground.He quickly squatted down to pick it up, and Ji Jiu also went over to help: "What are you looking for?"

He didn't raise his head, and seemed really anxious: "It's a note, it might be too small, I don't know where it fell."

Ji Jiu responded, turned her head to look around, and at this moment, a faint chill came from behind her, she immediately tensed up, turned around and said, "Ben, we have to leave...!"

The voice stopped abruptly, and she subconsciously dodged to the side, but it was too late when her eyes saw the cold light clearly, pain soon came from her waist, at the same time gunshots rang out, and the boy's figure quickly backed away, moving swiftly and quickly. simply.

Holding the gun in one hand, John supported Ji Jiu in the other, looked down, and said in a very low voice, "Are you injured?"

Ji Jiu didn't know if he saw it clearly, but endured the pain and looked at Ben.The atmosphere around the young man has completely changed. If it could only be said that he was pretending to be old-fashioned just now, now he completely gives the impression of an adult, from his standing posture to his eyes, everything is wrong.

Ji Jiu collected himself, frowned and said, "Strak?"

The other party did not deny: "It's a pleasure to meet you here."

When did this change occur?In such a short time just now, it was impossible for him to possess himself without being discovered, unless he was already there.

But if it was there, why is there no breath at all?

Ji Jiu asked her doubts honestly, and Strack stared at her coldly, with a half-smile on the corner of his mouth: "Miss psychic medium, I think our goals are the same, why don't we consider cooperation? "

"I don't think so." Ji Jiu squeezed the string of copper coins tightly while talking, "Of course it's a bit ridiculous to say that, after all, it's wrong to let spirits have entities."

Strack shook his head in disapproval: "Everyone has the right to live, and rebirth is just a new superpower. This is the era of miracles." As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly took out a pistol from his chest, Approved Ji Jiu, "Anyway, I won't kill you now."

The sound of the bullet passing the silencer was amplified by the narrow aisle. John pushed Ji Jiu to the ground, and quickly raised the muzzle of the gun with his other hand to fight back.

Strack was obviously familiar with the terrain, and immediately took a step back to hide in the corner.But Ji Jiu and the others still stayed in the unobstructed corridor, they could only be used as living targets.

John hugged her and leaned against the wall, Ji Jiu frowned and whispered, "I'm fine."

That being said, her voice had already started to weaken, and the hand pressing on the wound also felt more viscous.The temperature in the corridor was too low, she felt a little cold and a little sleepy, and even panting carefully, for fear of hurting the wound.

The gunshots from both sides continued, but they also had an advantage. After all, the body Strack was using was young, not as good as an adult's physical fitness. John stepped forward decisively while the bullets were reduced, and directly shot the pistol|gun , Seeing that the situation was not good, Strack immediately left his body and rushed to Ji Jiu first.

Is his real target her?

Ji Jiu held his breath subconsciously, seeing the figure of the other party getting closer, he immediately threw out the string of copper coins with the greatest strength.The copper coins stretched into chains in mid-air, as if they had self-awareness, they locked Strucker's ghost firmly.The opponent froze and fell to the ground, and she immediately trapped him in it with the enchantment talisman, and the movement was done in one go.

However, the wound immediately became more painful, and Ji Jiu tilted her body. Fortunately, John caught him in time and did not fall to the ground.

John lifted the corner of her clothes, with a tense expression: "You have to stay awake, nine."

"I'm fine, anyway, contact other people to take this big trouble away." Ji Jiu said in a relaxed tone as much as possible, "But I tried it just now, and there is no signal inside, so I have to go out."

Seeing her like this, John frowned again: "I can go directly to notify, it's faster." After a pause, he said worriedly, "Are you okay alone?"

"In such a short period of time, I can still do it by watching Strack." Ji Jiu raised his hand with a smile, and made an OK gesture.

John stared at her for a while, and kissed the corner of her mouth when he got up: "I'll be right back."

"Ok."

The man's figure quickly disappeared into the aisle, Ji Jiu took a rest for a while, really didn't want to see Strucker struggling in vain, so he just clutched his wound and moved to the corner to check on Ben's situation.

He seemed to be just unconscious, but there was no trauma, which made her relieved.

However, at this moment, a hand suddenly covered her mouth and nose, and a slightly sweet and pungent smell poured into her nostrils, and she lost consciousness without even being able to resist.

Darkness comes.

When John returned to the secret passage, Ben was lying in the corner, Strack was still trapped in the barrier, and the chain was gone.

There is no sign of Ji Jiu anywhere.

His heart trembled, and he suddenly raised his voice: "Nine? Where are you?"

The corridor was always silent, and there was no echo.Only a puddle of blood remained at the foot, indicating that Ji Jiu was still here not long ago.

"Nine?!"
