'Boom——'
'boom--'
A violent kick directly pinned the robots to the wall.
Fortunately, the walls of the Science Research Institute are made of special materials, so there is no phenomenon like the doll factory that breaks through several roofs at once.
As robots were killed one after another, the researchers inside who were responsible for some trivial matters watched in horror on the monitoring screen.
Looking at the seniors he usually sees, they are each doing the work they are doing. Even though there is a lot of fighting outside, as long as it does not affect the experiment, they can pretend they have not seen it.
Just as he was about to call in, the newly promoted young researcher's palms became sweaty.
Until someone called his number.
"4798, hand me the information from a minute ago."
Hurrying away from the screen showing the situation outside, the young researcher numbered 4798 stuttered in response: "Okay - okay - here we go."
As if noticing his abnormality, the senior researcher who ordered him to get the information raised his glasses frame, looked at his hurried back calmly and said: "As long as the intruders haven't affected your work, you must stick to it. Do you understand your position?"
"Oh - okay -" The young researcher who was taught the previous lesson wiped the sweat from his palms and hurriedly went to the database to search for the information his senior wanted.
The short conversation ended.
An external electronic sound came out:
"drop--"

[Welcome to the core research room——]
"Huh?" This welcome was in the same tone as the system's, and Ana Shen always felt that she had heard it somewhere.
Maybe he was overthinking it, the sounds of all systems might be like this.
As outsiders come in, even though the people inside know that the comers are not good, they still do their own work.
It seems that to them, outsiders are just a few more people here to observe.
Furthermore, most of the information here is just information. In the center of the core laboratory is a large circular platform filled with various colorful information and countless potions mixed in, making it dazzling.
Several researchers were looking back and forth for some numbered chemicals and materials needed for experiments.
The only sound in the entire research room was the sound of rummaging through papers.
On their backside are five more internal core corridors, leading to the actual research sites.
What Ana Shen saw when he came in was the scene of these researchers working hard to find information.
Pei Yukai, who was not sure why, loaded his pistol and raised the muzzle to point it at the researchers who were also wearing white clothes.
The index finger was slightly folded, and the bullet was stuck in the magazine. Even if the dark muzzle of the gun was pointed at the researchers, they still remained unmoved.
Just when Pei Yukai was about to press down with his index finger, a pair of hands pressed down his gun hand.
He turned his head in confusion, and Ana Shen's rare expression was conveyed with some gentle words:
"Don't shoot them."
"There must be very few people who are here voluntarily."
"There's no point in killing them."
"The ones outside are the ones who really deserve to be killed."
Pei Yukai, who felt that what he said was reasonable, nodded and silently put down his pistol, putting away his soldier's coldness.
"We won't disturb your work, so please show me the real way to the core laboratory."
A rare politeness appeared on Shen Yan's face. The boy who usually used his fists to solve problems became particularly well-behaved at this moment.
Maybe Shen Yan subconsciously warned himself that he would probably encounter the two people from before in this core area.
He felt that he still needed to maintain the image of a well-behaved young man.
Therefore, Ana Shen tried his best to look very good, completely different from the boy who kicked the robot in front of the screen.
Fortunately, his attitude was quite good. Among the busy researchers, the only white-haired old man sitting there wiped his reading glasses and muttered: "I'm just saying, young people nowadays just can't I’m so impatient, no wonder I can’t even find the core laboratory..."
Before Shen Yan came, there were about five or six players lying in front of the core laboratory without breathing.
They all had surprised expressions before they died.
Judging from the costumes, they probably came after Shen Yan and Xie Yi. While they were still watching the show in the running-in laboratory, this group of people had already arrived here.
It seemed that someone had been here before Shen Yan.
It’s just that – everything has been resolved.
The wounds on those people told Ana Shen that they were definitely not caused by robots.
That could only be caused by the core lab researchers.
"Senior said that, so please tell me which of these roads should I take?" Putting on a humble tone, Ana Shen came to the old man.
He moves in the hearts of all with every step he takes.
Some researchers can even imagine what he looked like before his death.
It's a pity, but he still seems to be a polite and good-looking young man.
What's wrong with being young? You have to touch people or things that you can't mess with.
"I'm afraid not." This rejection was expected by all researchers.
They continued their methodical work.
Ana Shen, who was rejected, also knew that if the other party really let him in just because he was polite, then there would be a problem.
But right now - if you want to find the passage to the core research room without taking action, it seems to be a bit difficult...
Just when Shen Yan was thinking about how to bribe the old man to make things easier for them.
The cards in the storage space flashed and flashed.
Without Ana Shen's call, Akasha turned into a ball of white light and jumped out suddenly.
A tiny baby girl appeared without warning and shocked everyone.
Fortunately, Pei Yukai had met Akasha, so he was the only one present who was not surprised.
"Aka-Aka-that-" A soft little hand pulled one of Ana Shen's fingers, and Akasha pointed to one of the five passages with the other little finger.
After pointing it out, the little hand actually pulled the old man's long white beard directly, and his round eyes showed big doubts.
The little guy's pronunciation is not very accurate yet, but he can still say some words compared to before: "You - bad - don't say - bad -"
Although Akasha is inside the card, she still has some awareness of the outside world.
That is to say, she can sense whatever happens to Ana Shen.
She saw inside that the old man refused to give directions, so the little guy thought he was a bad guy and opened his mouth to bite it.
Fortunately, Ana Shen caught her in time.
Ana Shen thought to herself: It seems that in the future, she will be taught what to eat and what not to eat...
The appearance of Akasha made the old man who always gave Ana Shen a cold face soften slightly.
He said slowly for a long time: "It turns out that 'she' chose you, then you can go in..."
"I'm so old, but I can still see this little girl looking so angry, hahaha——"
With a hint of relief in his eyes, the old man waved his hand, but he didn't point out what he wanted to say.
Regarding Akasha’s identity——
Ana Shen didn't have any guesses.
But speculation is just speculation and cannot be verified.
Opening her lips slightly, Ana Shen looked at the old man and asked, "Do you know 'her'?"
Here, Ana Shen used honorifics. Since he wanted to ask the other party questions, he must have an attitude of asking questions.
Ana Shen will never forget this point.
Looking back at Shen Yan who was being dragged forward by Akasha, the old man was sitting in front of the stage with his face in his hands, drowsy, and murmured before falling asleep: "Sooner or later you will know -"
Pei Yukai had just taken a few steps as Ana Shen was pulled by Akasha into the black inner corridor.
The old man's leisurely tone came out again: "I let him go, but I didn't let you go -"
"Just—just stay outside and wait."
Pei Yukai: "......"
