Angel inquired in detail and found out the reason.
Unexpectedly, when he was studying the magic energy formation, Nice had quite a lot of experience there.
Hunting sequence, mechanical puppet. Sounds like pretty good? Unfortunately, it has been destroyed and cannot be further studied.
Angel looked at Dangros: "When did the psychic belt become silent? Did they say anything about what they were going to do or where they were going before it became silent?"
Dangros: "No one spoke an hour ago. Before that, the spirit named Reynolds seemed to be leading them..."
Dangros was lost in memories. Because he couldn't understand some of the topics in the psychic tether, his attention was a little distracted at the time.
At this time, Toby suddenly chirped.
Angel looked at Toby: "You mean, the second floor?"
Toby nodded, and on the other side, Dangros also suddenly remembered: "Yes! It's the second floor! I still remember that the gray-haired old man kept muttering before he fell silent, saying that the road to the second floor was strange or something. of."
"What's weird?" Angel asked.
Dangros paused for a moment, and it didn’t remember...
Angel sighed. He originally thought that Dangros would be more reliable because he could speak, but now it seems that he still has to rely on Toby.
Angel turned his attention to Toby. Toby raised his head rather arrogantly, glanced sideways at Dangros with his small eyes, and then chirped in an ups and downs voice.
Dangelos was confused, but Angel, who had reached the full level of Birdsong, nodded repeatedly.
"I see."
According to Toby's transmission, Angel learned what Nice said before entering the second floor: "This road is very strange. You have to walk back and forth twice, making it look like a maze."
Not long after saying this, Nice and the others' voices broke.
A strange road that needs to be walked twice? Angel narrowed his eyes and had some guesses in his mind.
"Did they have an accident? Is the gray-haired old man dead?" Dangros' voice came over.
Angel replied casually: "No."
Angel was not too worried about the situation of Nice and the others. Although the psychic tether could not hear their conversation, the psychic tether itself was not severed, which meant that Kanter was definitely fine. If Kanter is fine, Nice will be fine.
As for what Nice said before he fell silent, it sounds weird, but it may be some kind of mechanism in the laboratory. Reynolds is very clear about this place, and he didn't say anything, which means they are taking the right path. .
Judging from this situation, it is estimated that they are already on the second floor at this time.
Once on the second floor, the Psychic Tether cannot hear their voices, which may be the problem. Perhaps there are some magic energy arrays on the second and first floors that can block the information transmitted by the psychic belt.
Although this is Angel's speculation, it is not without purpose.
In a large, strictly confidential, hierarchical laboratory, it would be a bit absurd if cross-level communication could be carried out so easily. Once the internal personnel collude and rebel, they can even learn all the conditions below without risking all the lower levels, just through the psychic tether.
This situation is obviously foreseeable, so it is normal to isolate information between layers.
As for whether this speculation is correct, you will know if you go and take a look.
Angel stood up from the ground, dusted himself off, and walked deeper into the corridor.
"Where are we going now? Are we going to the second floor to find them?" Dangros climbed on the storage beads of the cloak and curiously stretched out half of his hand from behind Angel.
Angel shook his head: "No, Reynolds is not here, and I don't know how to get to the second floor."
"Let's find the sub-control node of the magic energy array."
Angel seemed to be walking around randomly, but in fact he had been tracing the direction of the energy in the magic pattern. In his field of vision, the surrounding metal walls, gear structures, and energy transmission tubes were just external piles. What he saw were the deeper magic patterns. They appeared and disappeared, complex but with the beauty of exotic elegance, with unique The flow of information guides the way forward for Angel.
While walking, Angel also passed by a huge experimental center. Angel took one look and left.
The research projects in the experimental center were not suitable for him. Moreover, there is no too profound research on the first level. Therefore, rather than staying in a meaningless experimental center, it is better to find sub-control nodes.
If we can find the sub-control node, maybe we can solve the problem of psychic tethering.
After following the vector of the magic pattern on the first floor for about ten minutes, Angel came to a narrow corridor that looked ordinary.
At first glance, this place looks like other corridors. Except for the wood grain treatment on the floor under the feet, the other three sides are made of silver-white or iron-green metal. Ventilation ducts, valves, energy pipes... everything looked normal.
However, this is just the surface.
In Angel's field of vision, the metal walls of this corridor were covered with a large number of magic pattern passages. If every line represents an energy torrent, then the walls and floors here are almost entirely surrounded by energy torrent.
The presence of so many magic pattern channels for energy supply shows that there must be a control node for the magic energy array deep in this corridor.
The control node of the magic energy array is the central core on the first floor of the laboratory. An ordinary person can guess that there must be risks here.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
As long as you step into this corridor, every step may trigger the rebound of the magic energy array. This kind of rebound is definitely more terrifying than the rebound of more than three exhibits in the showroom. It will be locked as the enemy by the magic energy array, overturning the power of the entire magic energy array, and clearing out and destroying the intruders.
Ordinary people would definitely not dare to break into such a dangerous corridor. Even internal personnel, including Reynolds, had never entered this corridor.
However, Angel didn't pay too much attention and stepped in without any hesitation.
Although one wrong step in this corridor will lead to devastating consequences, with Angel's current level of magic patterns, it is not difficult to find the accurate landing point.
To put it bluntly, this is actually a competition between computing power and foundation.
The landing point changes dynamically, but as long as you have a solid foundation in magic patterns and have online computing power, you can calculate the landing point in advance.
Angel seemed to be walking along this corridor that was only a few dozen meters long, but in fact every step was carefully calculated. In the end, he came over unscathed.
When he reached the end, Angel saw a large door.
The door is not locked, and you can clearly see the clearly visible magic pattern nodes behind the door.
However, he did not go in immediately because he saw a very difficult-to-find magic pattern trigger point near the door.
Under normal circumstances, as soon as you step into the door, this trigger point will inevitably be activated.
Although I don’t know what is connected behind the magic pattern trigger point and what will happen if it is triggered, it is definitely not a good thing.
Angel decided to suppress this trigger point first to avoid overturning.
The method of suppression is also very simple. Just like when Angel entered the laboratory, he directly connected an external magic pattern platform and briefly moved the energy of the trigger point to the platform.
Two minutes later, Angel successfully installed the external magic pattern platform on the side of the gate.
As long as you don't actively touch it, the trigger point will not be activated.
After doing all this, Angel stepped through the door.
As soon as he entered the door, the first thing Angel noticed was not the dazzling magic patterns all over the wall, but an independent cabin behind the door covered with frost marks.
It looked like a coffin, standing there quietly.
Angel walked over and gently wiped the frost mist on the bulkhead, revealing the transparent glass wall.
What can be seen through the glass is a mechanical puppet with closed eyes in the cabin. Its left face has two overlapping "X"s, and its right face has a single number 5.
"Hunting sequence, No. 5." Angel whispered its name.
At this time, the mechanical puppet of this hunting sequence is sleeping. Even though Angel was watching it through a bulkhead, it showed no sign of waking up.
Angel searched near the bulkhead and found a magic pattern passage connecting the outside side of the door.
Seeing this, Angel already understood that the trigger point at the door was probably the connected mechanical puppet.
If he had stepped directly into the door at that time, he would definitely not have faced such a sleeping puppet.
Angel studied the mechanical puppet carefully for a while with interest, but soon withdrew his attention and walked aside.
He is very interested in the workmanship of this mechanical puppet, but if he wants to thoroughly study it, it will not be possible in a short time. Therefore, Angel decided to put it aside first, and now it would be better to focus on the sub-control nodes.
Angel was very familiar with the sub-control nodes of the magic energy array.
The house here seems to be full of complicated magic patterns. A non-magic pattern warlock would be dizzy and have a headache just looking at it, but in Angel's eyes, no matter how complicated the magic patterns are, they can be deconstructed.
Now, these magic patterns have been decomposed into different blocks by him, and different blocks are responsible for different functions.
Among the core blocks, there are the "norms and sentencing" discussed by Nice and others before, or in other words: 10,000 ways to trigger the rebound of the magic energy array.
Including the trigger rebound method of the corridor outside, it is also recorded in this block.
These core blocks are the top priority of the laboratory, and the magic patterns are relatively complex. However, in Angel's view, that's it...if he has enough time, he can modify this core block and let him formulate the "sentencing" for the magic energy array.
But if you really want to do it, it will take a lot of time. With the level of this magic energy array, it will take at least ten days and a half.
Angel didn't have time to waste here, and even if the core block was really modified, it would only be the core block of one layer, and there was no way to affect the core blocks of other layers.
Therefore, Angel directly ignored the core blocks, and among the countless blocks he sorted out, he looked for blocks that blocked the transmission of information between layers.
Angel quickly reviewed the information, and soon he found his target.
…
The second underground floor of the base laboratory.
In a semi-closed room, Nice looked at the gradually dissipating shadow on the ground with an expression of regret.
He turned back suddenly and glared at Kanter: "You must have done it on purpose! You clearly knew the value of the Shadow Demon, but you didn't catch it, but just shot it in the head."
Nice's voice was filled with anger.
"Shadow Demon! My Shadow Entering Technique!"
Kanter leaned leisurely against the wall nearby and said calmly: "You understand the reason yourself. The power of the Shadow Demon has invaded Reynolds' soul. If you want to solve it quickly, you can only kill the Shadow Demon. In other words, you can Solve the shadow demon's power that invaded Reynolds' body in a short time?"
After five or six seconds of silence, Nice said: "It's clearly stated in the contract, so the profits are all mine..."
"Still the same question, can you solve the power of the Shadow Demon?"
Nice said: "You can use the devil's source power to arrange..."
"I'm talking about solving the shadow demon's power in a short time."
Nice was silent for a moment: "No."
Kanter: "Since you can't solve it, do you want to give up on Reynolds?"
Nice was silent this time. In the outside world, Reynolds would definitely be no match for a rare Shadow Demon, but in this laboratory, Reynolds plays a huge role and must not be given up.
Niss understood this truth, but when he thought of the Shadow Demon, Niss felt his body ache. The Shadow Demon is famous in "The Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them". It is a semi-extinct monster in the Southern Region. No one has discovered it for at least a hundred years. It is the only shortcut to practice the Shadow Technique across departments.
Niss had never thought about practicing the shadow-entering technique before, but if he could practice it, he would be happy to do so. But now, as soon as hope was raised, it was extinguished.
Ness couldn't help but sigh.
Just when Nice sighed, a familiar voice rippled from the psychic tether: "Is Reynolds okay?"
Nice was stunned for a moment, and looked at each other with Kanter, exchanging the same information in their eyes: "Did I hear you correctly?"
"should not."
"Then this isn't an auditory hallucination?!"
Nice woke up and asked in the psychic belt: "Are you... Angel?"
