Chapter 2388: Mechanical Core

"What is she going to do?" Nice also noticed where No. 03 was going, and asked with a puzzled look on her face.

A water wizard suddenly rushed to the area covered by the flame veins. Is this to seek death?

Or is she just faking her way out and turning halfway?

When everyone was confused, No. 03 showed no sign of turning and plunged into the flame magic land.

As soon as she entered the flame magic land, No. 03 felt the horror of the surrounding flames. The raging fire even burned the space and repelled all forces.

In the flame magic land, No. 03 couldn't even condense the power of water.

It was for this reason that her crystal clear dress turned into ashes without the ability to condense the power of water for protection.

The flames burned her dress and invaded her fair and flawless skin.

Under the protection of the blood, No. 03 could only barely maintain the surface of decency, but her skin had begun to show signs of pink. If she stayed in the flame magic land for a while, she would inevitably suffer devastating damage.

It can be said that the Flame Land is a natural flame cage, and the most restrained are the wizards of the ocean system.

However, the restraint itself is not absolute. If the ocean wizard also mastered the power of the veins, the result might be different.

However, the law veins themselves are extremely rare, and No. 03 has never learned them. Faced with such a terrifying power of fire, she has almost no way to resist unless she leaves the Flame Land.

However, No. 03 did not show any signs of escaping, and her goal was very clear.

"Robot head!" Nice: "She ran towards the robot head!"

As soon as the voice fell, No. 03 had already rushed to the vicinity of the robot head in the face of the fire on the shop. At this time, under the control and burning of the Flame Land, the outer shell of the robot head has been completely melted, and all the internal parts are exposed.

Some large gears and special chains were also burned and melted into a lump, and the appearance of the "head" could not be seen at all. In its current situation, Ferro's name for it is obviously more appropriate: "Iron Lump".

Looking at the almost deformed head of the Wave Machine, No. 03 was not too disappointed, and even had a hint of relief in her eyes.

Because in her sight, the inside of this "iron lump" that was shining with silver liquid light was releasing a familiar wave of water vapor.

"Sure enough, the machine core has not been burned." No. 03 let out a long breath. The reason why she rushed into the "Jedi" was that the machine core would not be burned so easily.

Facts have proved that she won the bet.

"This is the first time I have seen someone who is so eager to die." Ferro's voice came in: "If you still want to live, you'd better come out now. Don't expect me to put away the fire magic."

"This is actually pretty good..." Nice swallowed his saliva: "I haven't seen enough of the white body just now. Now with a little pink, why do I feel more excited?"

No. 03's clothes were burned to ashes. If it weren't for the cover of the flames, it would be truly visible.

No. 03 snorted coldly and did not reply, but stretched out his hand to touch the "iron lump".

Sizzle

This is the sound of flesh bursting open, with a hint of burnt smell.

In such a dangerous situation, No. 03 completely ignored it and even stretched out his other hand.

Both hands slowly melted into the "iron lump"... Later, the whole body embraced it, until the whole person was immersed in it.

Ferro: "She... melted with the iron lump."

"What do you mean?" Because of the cover of the flame, Nice didn't know what happened inside.

Ferro carefully felt the situation in the flame magic land, and then said: "She took the initiative to run into the inside of the iron lump. I can't sense her existence now."

"She ran to the flame magic land just to merge with the robot head? What kind of strange habit is this." Nice muttered to Ferro: "Since she is inside the robot head, keep burning."

As long as the robot head is completely melted, No. 03 inside will naturally be exposed.

Ferro thought about it and followed the method Nice said, and began to increase the intensity of burning the iron lump. Although he thought it was a bit strange for No. 03 to run into the iron lump, there was no other way now, so he just burned it and saw it.

At first, it was okay, and the mechanical parts on the outside of the iron lump burned easily.

But after reaching the inside, a water force appeared, resisting the burning of the flame.

This surprised Ferro a little. You know, the inside of the flame magic land repels all non-flame energy, but at this time there is still water power inside that can compete with the flame magic land, which means that the energy level of the water power must be not low.

Ferro continued to increase the intensity, but the water power inside was still not broken, as if there was a soft but resilient force protecting the internal core.

"Wizard Ferro, although the energy is blocked, I know you are outside."

Suddenly, the cold voice of No. 03 came from the inside of the iron lump.

"If the mechanical core is not controlled by someone, it is indeed easy to burn, but I have taken over it now. As long as my magic power is not exhausted, it will always exist."

"Even if you increase the flame veins, you will not be able to break through the external defense in a short time."

Fero narrowed his eyes: "Are you provoking me?"

No. 03: "No provocation. I am just stating a fact."

"I entered the Mechanizer just to protect myself. My previous promise remains unchanged. When No. 01 and No. 02 come back, I will explain to them and compensate them at that time."

"But now, I will not leave the inside of the Mechanic."

The attitude of No. 03 is already obvious. She would rather hide inside the weapon maker than be controlled by others.

Because both sides have no basis for mutual trust, even if there is the possibility of communication, everything is in vain under the premise of mutual distrust and mutual defense.

Ferro continued to burn, while also testing No. 03 with words.

But it's no use.

The Fire Magic Land was continuously resisted by the power of water, and No. 03 was completely silent.

Under this situation, Ferro was also a little helpless. He looked back at Nice and said using the sound transmission technique: "What should we do now?"

Nice was silent for a while, and instead of answering Ferro's question, he asked instead: "Do you think what she said is true?"

"You mean her promise?"

Nice shook his head: "I don't believe in the promises made by women. Without seeing the benefits, everything is just empty talk."

"I'm referring to what she said before about the 'mechanical core'."

Although what exactly is the core of the Mechanic is still unknown. But from the tone of No. 03, we can basically guess that the core of the weapon is the central power source of the iron lump.

"She said that the core of the Mechanic is easily destroyed if no one controls it. But now that she has control of it, it can be maintained as long as the magic power is not exhausted. Do you think this is true?"

Ferro: "If it's true, she has basically revealed the weakness of the weapon's core."

Although Ferro didn't say it directly, he didn't believe No. 03's statement.

Nice also nodded: "Whether it's true or not, I'm sure she must be hiding something."

No. 03 rushed towards this robot head desperately, and he must have his own plan. According to her statement, she was just looking for a place to shelter. In Nice's view, this was most likely a lie. The power of water at the core of the weapon can even resist the flame veins. Such a powerful force was described by her as a useless shelter. No matter how you think about it, the logic is wrong.

"I guess there are other tricks in that Mechanic Core."

But the specific situation cannot be found out at present. Only by breaking through the iron barrier of water protection can we understand the truth.

But how to break it open is a difficult point.

Even the energy of the flame veins couldn't break through the power of the water, and they couldn't think of any other way.

"Since she can't come out for the time being, let's wait and see." Nice: "If the air wave appears again later, we will see if she will reveal any flaws."

Ferro also nodded. After all, the Flame Land is a cage. He is always in control of the internal situation and can detect any slightest disturbance immediately.

Instead of guarding the Flame Land, they walked back into the depths of the mist.

When they saw Angel again, Angel was talking to Nausicaa and Reynolds about No. 03.

"Are you sure there are no secrets inside this base laboratory?" Angel asked Reynolds.

Previously, No. 03 had tried to encourage them to enter the laboratory, which made Angel a little wary of the laboratory.

Reynolds thought for a moment and was about to answer when he was interrupted by a distant roar.

After the roar, air waves also appeared on time. Facing this irresistible wave of energy, everyone was once again frozen in place.

Tens of seconds later, the afterglow of the air wave dissipated, and Nice immediately looked at Ferro: "How is the situation in the flame field?"

Ferro shook his head: "The woman was not forced out."

"Even this weird wave of energy didn't force her out. The core of that weapon is not simple." Niss was still hesitant before, but now she is very sure. No. 03 must have been hiding something just now. She is definitely not just going to The core of the Mechanic is used as a shelter.

Angel: "She hasn't come out yet, so don't worry about her yet. I've asked Ermi to hide near the Flame Land. As soon as she appears, Ermi will naturally deal with her."

After Angel finished speaking, he turned to look at Reynolds: "Do you know what this air wave is about?"

Reynolds shook his head with palpitations and fear: "I have never encountered such a situation before when I was in the laboratory."

Reynolds knew nothing about air waves, so Angel could only give up and continue asking about the situation in the laboratory.

"Is there any secret in the laboratory? I can't be sure, but there are five underground floors in the laboratory, and I have been to every floor." Reynolds paused and briefly described the internal layout of the laboratory: "The first four floors contain experiments The center, material library, storage room... and so on, there are also the display rooms for our experimental subjects, and the serial dormitories after No. 04. As for the fifth floor, I have only been there once. There are three rooms there. The residences of Nos. 01, 02 and 03.”

"In the decades I have lived in the laboratory, I have basically figured out the layout of the institutions. It is true that there are many isolated institutions, which are dangerous to a certain extent, but when it comes to secrets... I really haven't discovered them yet. Moreover, if there are If so, Nausicaa and I have gone in before and have not encountered any threats from the laboratory itself. "

Because Reynolds had lived in the laboratory for decades and had not encountered a strong threat, he had a preconceived concept.

But for Angel and others, they have never entered a laboratory, and facing the unknown, they are naturally full of fear and temptation.

Nice: "Are you sure it's only the fifth floor?"

Reynolds nodded: "I'm sure. Because the laboratory often moves on the seabed. I have seen the overall structure of the laboratory and I can be sure that there are only five floors."

"That's strange. The people in the first three sequences all have separate residences, so what about No. 00?" Nice asked suspiciously.

Reynolds was also stunned. Yes, if No. 00 really exists, as an existence above the sequence, he must have a separate residence. Where would he be?

Nice: "Maybe in your opinion, the structure of the laboratory is already very clear. But I guess there should be a secret place in this laboratory, and the so-called No. 00 is probably there."

Whether Nice's guess is correct or not, No. 00 can be confirmed to exist. Since there is this sequence, he must occupy a certain position in the laboratory. But now he seems to be hiding... Maybe this is why No. 03 secretly instigated them to enter the laboratory.

Of course, everything is still speculation.

The real situation needs to be confirmed after trial.

Angel looked at the anxious Reynolds: "Do you feel your body now?"

Reynolds shook his head: "No, maybe it's because the laboratory has isolated my perception. I can only know it when I open the laboratory."

Angel was about to say something comforting, but at this time, the roar came again with the air wave.

After the air wave passed, Angel did not talk to Reynolds again, but turned to look at Ferro.

Ferro was looking at the direction of the roar source with doubts. If nothing unexpected happened, that was also the source of the air wave.

When Angel walked forward, he happened to hear the conversation between Nice and Ferro.

Ferro: "The nest... The nest is over there. That group of people are heading in this direction."

Nice turned to look at Ferro with a puzzled look on his face: "I wanted to ask before, what exactly is the nest you mentioned?"

Ferro shook his head: "Actually, I don't know what a nest is. The word nest was told to me by others."

"Others?" Angel: "Apart from the laboratory in the base, are there other people here?"

Nice was also curious: "Who is the person you are talking about?"

Ferro: "Didn't I say before that I met someone nearby?"

Angel and Nice both nodded. At that time, Ferro was telling them "I found traces of people nearby and followed them, and then met a person." As a result, before he could finish who that person was, the attack of the robot head interrupted him, and there was no time to ask again.

"That person is very strange. I am sure that there was nothing around me at the time, but he suddenly appeared in front of me. He stopped me and told me that if I didn't want to die, I should not go over and get involved."

"I asked him what was in front of him, and he dropped the word "nest" and disappeared."
