"Synchronization signal detected, start updating data content."
Some time later, at the edge of the connected area, two magical mechanical creatures walked towards each other with heavy steps and stood next to each other directly in front of a square building: "——Update completed, confirming the emergence of new threats."
"No. 22 cannot confirm that the enemy target has been eliminated, and the search scope is being expanded." It seems that it is not the individual responsible for local defense work. One of the huge figures coming from the darkness also flashed a scanning red light at this time: "Alert Improve and prevent more threats from emerging.”
"Received the order to strengthen the defense mission." It seemed that he had absorbed all the red light that swept into his eyes, and the electronically synthesized voice of another magical creature also flashed up and down the dark body for a moment: "Increase the search level, search : No enemies have been found yet.”
"Confirm the energy transmission stage, the remaining time is-"
Emotionless electronic sounds alternately sounded as the figures of the two magic weapons stood motionless. Finally, they gradually separated with their retreating steps, as if they had returned to their posts. A figure also stood quietly in front of this square-shaped building, letting the strong wind that kept blowing here pass by in front of him. The edge of the building made of reinforced concrete then appeared in the corner of the wall as the two tall giant figures alternately left. It seemed that there was a slight gap in the wall and a emerald green light suddenly flashed in the dark depths. , the bright light gradually disappeared in the corner where no one could see it, and extinguished within the unrecognizable outline, and finally turned into a curve submerged in the darkness, and brought out a quiet and unknown voice: "——Shh."
"You actually found the vent... No, this means that you are surrounded by enemies, right?"
Carefully looking outside for the last time, Shia Yun, who was the first to submerge into the darkness, also landed on the ground first: "Are you sure there are no problems? Let's just break in-"
"Don't worry, the defenses of those magic weapons are all for external use." Duan Qing, who was holding Xue Ling Huan Bing and holding Xue Ling Huan Bing, lowered his voice as much as possible at this time: "Although I don’t know if these magic weapons have the same defense loopholes as humans when it comes to defense, but as long as we don’t enter their alert field of vision, they shouldn’t react to our presence.”
"The warning field of view of magic weapons should be different from that of us humans, right?" Then a low-pitched warning from Xueling Huanbing sounded in his ears: "If they use magic induction or a technological method similar to infrared - "
Looking at the finger that Duan Qing then pointed out, the white-haired woman's voice suddenly stopped in mid-air. A faint blue-purple magical light then enveloped the two people under Duan Qing's instructions, and a slight buzzing continued. The chirping sound also seemed to completely isolate the auras emanating from the two people: "...I see, you have activated this strange thing again."
"The unknown purpose does not mean that I dare not use it. I still have the courage." Duan Qing pointed to his cheek with an air of pride: "What's more, the more you use it, the more functions we can explore. ,Is not it?"
"I reject any behavior of being treated as a guinea pig or an experimental subject, even with you." Xue Ling Huan Bing hit Duan Qing's chest with the back of her head angrily: "And your unknown aura shielding barrier Is the range too small? That Shi Ayun is still running around outside."
"Let him run around outside. Anyway, I don't think there's anything wrong with him." With a helpless expression, Duan Qing glanced at the back of the man who had gone his own way and disappeared into the depths of darkness. Duan Qing then also set his gaze on In other directions: "The focus now is to seize the time."
"Let's explore this strange place first."
Following the emerald green fluorescence that was still emanating from his body, the gray-robed magician gradually began to scan the corners of the room illuminated by his magic one by one. The fragments of tables and chairs that were also scattered on the floor for some reason At this time, the broken glass and the emerald energy reflected on the ground collided with the eyes of the two people passing by: "It looks no different from the rooms we have seen before, at least in full In terms of being eroded by wind and frost, it seems... huh?"
"No, the situation seems to have changed." He reached out and picked up one of the metal poles near his feet. The gray-robed magician was the first to sigh: "Metal skeleton? The furniture and decoration here seem to have been upgraded. It’s over.”
"The hexagonal design - it looks a bit more like real office equipment." He reached out and gestured among the metal fragments scattered in front of him. Xueling Huanbing, dragging his weak footsteps, pointed around and replied in a low voice: "Compared to resting places and furniture decoration, office areas prefer to use simple and durable things like this."
"In other words, we have arrived within the scope of the experimental area?" Duan Qing blinked his eyes: "Is it necessary for the underground laboratory to have similar facilities that require office processing?"
"Of course, no matter where it is, as long as there are 'people', management is an indispensable task." Bending sideways showed the confidence of a strong woman, Xue Ling Huan Bing unconsciously brushed herself Long white hair: "I have experienced this deeply in the past few years, so I am very familiar with similar places and atmospheres, as long as-"
She raised her head, and the words she unconsciously raised suddenly stopped in mid-air. The crisscrossing black pipelines and the countless damaged and fallen patent leathers that were half-draped on them also followed the shining green light emanating from Duan Qing's body. Reflected in the field of vision that Xueling Huanbing had just raised: "This, this is -"
"Is this connected to the outside world?" Duan Qing seemed to have just noticed the strange phenomena appearing above his head. Duan Qing whispered in surprise: "Those pipelines also spread outside the wall... Damn it, from above before Why didn't you notice when you jumped down?"
"Look carefully, they are all connected to the edge of this space." Pointing to the wall that was almost visible behind these intertwined pipelines, Xueling Huanbing's weak eyes gradually became sharper. Standing up: "But with so many pipelines, it's impossible for them to just pass through this room, right? There must be some concentration -"
Involuntarily taking two steps forward, the white-haired woman's words were once again frozen in place. Duan Qing, who also stepped forward, also fixed his sights below the pipelines, which were being touched by himself. The light source gradually shone clearly on a row of long metal cabinets covered with various operating levers and indicator lights: "——Wow."
"I can't help but want to whistle."
The magic indicator light that has been broken for an unknown period of time, the dust covering the various switches and operating levers, and the large console device formed by the combination of long metal cabinets are also mixed with a heavy sense of history that no one has cared about for a long time. Under the emerald light and the blue-purple magic shield, a dim light is reflected. It seems that some of the railings used to control these metal consoles have been broken, and other things like buttons also appear somewhat damaged in front of Duan Qing's eyes. Some of them are scattered with broken glass and The hard metal fragments deeply embedded on the metal table seemed to be trying to say something to the two visiting players in this way: "...Look, look at this miserable scene. "
"If I said there was no fighting here, I wouldn't even believe it myself." Duan Qing said, pointing to a corner of the console that looked like a bullet hole left after being penetrated by a bullet. The previous frivolity gradually turned to seriousness: "They actually used the same firearms. The situation must have been very intense at that time."
"Not only is it fierce, there may even be casualties." Pointing to the broken outline that was unrecognizable at the foot of the metal platform on the other side, Xue Ling Huan Bing's jade fingers that should have been as green as green onions also looked a little pale at this time: "This is It was cut raw, right? There seem to be cutting marks on it."
"It has been such a long time, but the metal objects deep in these ruins still look extremely hard." Duan Qing tried to touch it, and Duan Qing, who came forward, pointed to the fragment in the opponent's hand and replied in a low voice: "But now they are either exploded or cut - the people who attacked here may have been much more powerful than we imagined."
"Then the same problem arises." He looked around, and the open palm swayed into Xue Ling Huan Bing's field of vision as if he had been prepared: "Let's not say who the attacker is - There doesn’t seem to be a single body here.”
"Perhaps all the people who worked here at that time escaped?" Xue Ling Huan Bing shook her head in disbelief: "The blood stains are okay, but the bones can't disappear out of thin air, right? Those white bones can remain. Thousands of years."
"Anyway, this must be the clue I've been looking for." There was finally a sense of excitement in the voice, and a bright light flashed in Duan Qing's eyes as he suddenly shouted: "No matter what happened here, here The reason why the bodies of the dead people disappeared must be the same as the situation in the entertainment room before. Why did they die, and who finally cleared them to an unknown place——"
"As long as that thing exists in this place, we may be able to get a glimpse of the crime scene."
The green magical light began to pass through the dim space as Duan Qing glanced around, illuminating one side of the mysterious room a little more clearly. He who was deliberately shining there then also With a slightly surprised expression, Xue Ling Huan Bing began to search for an inconspicuous corner area in the room: "What are you looking for? I thought you would be the first to study things like operation panels."
"Of course it's surveillance equipment." He replied without looking back. Duan Qing's body was already squatting in the dark corner in front of Xue Ling Huan Bing: "This place is obviously more important than places like the lounge. , they will definitely install something similar to surveillance equipment... Damn it."
"No?" After burrowing like a groundhog for a long time, Duan Qing's dusty appearance appeared in front of Xue Ling Huan Bing: "How is it possible? Is it in another corner? Let's go and see look."
"Don't be anxious yet, think about it carefully." Reaching out to catch the slightly anxious movement of the other party, Xue Ling Huanbing smiled and stretched out her hand to wipe Duan Qing's dusty face: "You and I can understand how important this place is. It can be seen that the people who once lived in this experimental area will definitely not make such a mistake. The only possibility that can prevent us from finding similar facilities is that they use other methods, but they simply do not have them. Install them in this place.”
"Is there a reason why this place won't be monitored?"
She said these words, and at the same time gestured in the direction of the metal table that the two people had just deviated from. The wind coming from an unknown direction was also shaking the two players at this time, each of them looked up at the numerous damaged pipelines above. With their thoughts that were also wandering around, they were swaying back and forth: "You mean-"
"No, this is just a random guess on my part. You'd better verify it yourself using other methods."
"My method? What method do I have? As you can see now, all the magic circuits on it have been destroyed. It is simply an impossible task to restart them."
"Perhaps you can consider repairing it a little bit? I remember that when you were in the combat readiness storage area above, you collected a lot of messy parts..."
"Impossible! I'm not Kyle II! Even if that guy had really taught me some knowledge about the structure of mechanical magic, I wouldn't have been able to learn it so quickly—"
Boom.
A heavy knocking sound then sounded behind the two people. The hollow sound like water dripping into stone also echoed gently in the small room. The two people who suddenly closed their mouths also hurriedly turned their heads. Looking behind him, his wary eyes also swept across the endless darkness ahead: "Oh no, no, were you too excited just now?"
"Were the guards outside alerted?"
"Damn it, there are no other entrances and exits around. If the door is blocked in this situation-"
"What are you two doing?"
Before the two players could stand up in alert and nervous postures, Shi Ayun, who looked lazy and had a long metal pipe dangling in his hand, then staggered up to the two players: "Look at me. Found something good—uh.”
"What happen to you guys?"
He blinked his eyes, then looked at the two adventurers who were looking at him expressionlessly, and asked in a low voice with an innocent look on his face.
