Section 2376 No.

Compared with the dead sea filled with thick fog, the sea surface seems to be full of life.

There are schools of swimming fish as dense as a web, graceful dancing luminous jellyfish, corals so red that they seem to be dripping blood, and various marine creatures that cannot be named but have very distinctive looks. Together they have built a fairly rich underwater ecology.

At this time, such a beautiful and colorful seabed welcomed a rare visitor.

A group of humans enveloped in a strange glowing force field.

"We have returned to the territory of the purple giant beast that is suspected to be the cub of Shiz." Angel said while letting Toby sense the smell around him.

After a while, Toby chirped several times at Angel.

"The purple giant beast has no sign of coming back yet." Angel translated Toby's words.

Ness nodded: "It's okay if you haven't come back, and its smell is still here, so you don't have to worry about other sea beasts coming. Let's just wait here for noon."

After Nice finished speaking, he took out a bone deck chair from the space equipment, threw it on the seabed slope of a suitable height, and lay down lazily on it, looking like he was enjoying himself.

"There's still more than half an hour until noon." Angel turned to look at Reynolds: "I want to make sure again that what you said about the currents changing at noon is true?"

Reynolds pondered: "It does not change at noon every day, but if you want to find the location of the laboratory, you can only confirm it through changes in ocean currents."

The reason why their group came to the bottom of the sea was to wait for changes in the ocean currents.

According to Reynolds, the location of the laboratory is hidden on the deep sea floor somewhere in the fog zone, and the laboratory is mobile. To determine its coordinates, it can only be determined by observing the ocean currents at noon.

Angel turned to look at Nausicaa, and Nausicaa nodded slightly to Angel.

Nausicaa has been to that laboratory, and since she is so sure, it must be true.

"It's quite interesting to locate the position through changes in ocean currents." Ness lay on the recliner and said lazily: "Speaking of which, since that guy Ferro hasn't come back for so many days, he should have found the laboratory, right? I don’t know what the situation is like over there.”

"How about we go back to the Mayan witch and ask?"

Angel: "The Mayan Witch has left the Wilderness of Dreams."

Nice: "Okay, forget it."

Angel ignored Nice and looked at Reynolds: "Tell me about the specific situation of the laboratory. How many people are there? What are their positions? Also, what kind of combat capabilities are there in the laboratory?"

Reynolds had not even told Nausicaa this information before, because the more he knew, the easier he would be persecuted.

But now it was Angel who asked, a formal wizard close to the true knowledge level. Even if he faced the weapons of the laboratory, he should be able to calm down.

Thinking of this, Reynolds finally spoke and slowly recounted the information in the laboratory, starting from the most trivial details.

Following Reynolds' introduction, everyone gradually understood the basic situation of the laboratory.

The laboratory initially had more than three hundred people, one-third of whom were staff and the rest were experimental subjects like Reynolds.

In the eyes of the regular employees of the laboratory, experimental living subjects are not considered the same kind at all, but rather consumables.

Although I usually tell them guidance methods and even teach them some simple tricks, this is not to really guide their talents. It is simply to add different categories to the experiment and increase the success rate.

Moreover, if people who do not reach the spiritual power value forcefully practice the guidance method, they will basically become confused and die. This leads to more and more living bodies dying.

With the year-by-year consumption, there were fewer and fewer experimental subjects, and only nine people survived in the end. These nine people were completely used by the laboratory as tool men, or swords in their hands. They would be sent to various places to perform tasks. The types of missions include assassinations, collecting materials, and capturing slaves.

"This is completely using you as killers." Ness sighed: "But why did they capture slaves and conduct experiments on living subjects?"

Reynolds shook his head and uttered one word in a heavy tone: "Sacrifice."

Ness was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted: "Oh, I almost forgot about this. The cave in the Apocalypse Continent should be the sacrificial ritual done in the laboratory, right?"

Reynolds nodded silently.

Angel was silent for a moment and said, "Go on."

Reynolds took a deep breath and continued: "These nine people also include me. In order to distinguish them, they left tattoo marks on the faces of our souls as numbers. The left side of the face is all x, which means It means experimental subject, and there are numbers tattooed on the right side of his face, from 1 to 9. My number is 1.”

This is also the reason why Reynolds gave himself the nickname No. 1 in the Rising Stars Game.

Although the nine of them became weapons in the hands of those in the laboratory and dogs that worked for them, they still did not cherish them.

Over the years, four more people died in succession.

Among the remaining five, after years of brainwashing, they did not regard themselves as individuals at all. Only Reynolds still maintained his yearning for freedom.

Nice: "He said you escaped before, and there are still traces left on Sidro's Misty Island when they chased you."

Reynolds: "Yes."

Nice: "Knowing that you wanted to escape, you didn't punish you severely? You were allowed to keep your own thinking, and you even had the means to participate in the Rising Stars Competition?"

Reynolds lowered his eyebrows: "I don't know why, they really didn't use tougher means."

Even when Reynolds expressed that he didn't want to buy slaves, the people above agreed, and later assigned him tasks to collect materials and search for information.

Angel: "Maybe it's because you are special."

I am special? Reynolds looked at Angel in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

Angel didn't explain, but Nice and even Nausicaa immediately understood what Angel meant.

"John's counterattack." Nausicaa whispered this sentence, which was also the common understanding of Reynolds by all the contestants in the Rising Stars Competition at that time.

Reynolds: "Ah?"

Nausicaa shook her head: "Nothing, go on."

"Among the five surviving experimental subjects, except for me, everyone else could become an obstacle. However, their strength is not strong, and they should not pose a threat to the adults, but you need to pay attention to the 'x3'. Her soul weapon can control sea beasts. Although it cannot control formal wizard-level sea beasts, the attacks caused by some huge sea beasts in the sea are still terrifying."

Angel didn't care too much, because even if he faced the suspected descendant of Xiz, he was not afraid, let alone other non-wizard-level sea beasts.

Nice was quite interested in this x3. He had heard before that soul weapons not only had weapons, but also other functions. Now there is a special one, controlling sea beasts. This made Nice's expectations for soul weapons one step closer.

"Except for the five of us, there are official members in the laboratory. I haven't counted the exact number, but the largest number I saw on their tattoos was 99."

According to the situation that one number corresponds to one pit, there are at least 99 staff members in the laboratory.

"The smaller the number, the higher the status in the laboratory. Among them, those above 30 are basically non-combatants, full-time researchers, but they also have certain combat capabilities."

"And those with numbers below 30 are relatively stronger. I haven't seen them fight in detail, but there was a mutant blood-eating sea lion that invaded the laboratory before, and No. 30 solved it with one move. If it were me, I would never be able to do it."

In other words, at least No. 30 is much stronger than Reynolds.
