Section 2399 Block

Angel asked in detail and understood the reason.

Unexpectedly, when he was studying the magic array, Nice had quite a rich experience.

Hunting sequence, mechanical puppet. It sounds good? Unfortunately, it has been destroyed and cannot be studied further.

Angel looked at Dangros: "When did the mind band start to be silent? Before the silence, did they say where to do or go?"

Dangros: "No one spoke an hour ago. Before that, the soul named Reynolds seemed to be taking them to..."

Dangros fell into memories, because it didn't understand some of the topics in the mind band, so its attention was a little distracted at that time.

At this time, Toby suddenly chirped.

Angel looked at Toby: "You mean, the second floor?"

Toby nodded, and on the other side, Dangros suddenly remembered: "Yes! It's the second floor! I still remember that the gray-haired old man was still muttering before he was silent, saying that the road to the second floor was strange or something."

"What's strange?" Angel asked.

Dangros paused for a moment, and it didn't remember...

Angel sighed. He originally thought that Dangros could speak and would be more reliable. Now it seems that Toby is still needed.

Angel looked at Toby. Toby raised his head rather proudly, glanced at Dangros with his little eyes, and then chirped in a rhythmic voice.

Dangros was confused, but Angel, who was at the top of the bird language, nodded repeatedly.

"I know."

According to Toby's communication, Angel learned what Nice said before entering the second floor: "This road is very strange. You have to go back and forth twice, making it like a maze."

Not long after saying this, Nice and the others' voices were cut off.

Strange road, have to go twice? Angel narrowed his eyes and had some guesses in his mind.

"Did they have an accident? The gray-haired old man is not dead, right?" Dangros' voice came over.

Angel casually replied, "No."

Angel was not too worried about the situation of Nice and the others. Although the mind tether could not hear their conversation, the mind tether itself was not broken, which meant that Kant must be fine. And if Kant was fine, Nice would be fine.

As for the words that Nice said before he fell silent, it sounded strange, but perhaps it was some mechanism of the laboratory. Reynolds knew this place very well, and he didn't say anything, which meant that they were on the right path.

According to this situation, they are probably on the second floor at this time.

As soon as they went to the second floor, the mind tether could not hear their voices, which might be the crux of the problem. Perhaps there are some magic arrays between the second and first floors that can block the information transmitted by the mind tether.

Although this is Angel's speculation, it is not aimless.

It would be absurd if it was so easy to communicate across levels in a large, strictly confidential, and clearly hierarchical laboratory. Once the internal personnel are connected and rebel, they don't even need to risk all the lower floors, and can learn all the situations below through the mind tether.

This situation is obviously predictable, so it is normal to make information isolation between layers.

As for whether this speculation is correct, we will know when we go and see.

Angel stood up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, and walked towards the depths of the corridor.

"Where are we going now? Are we going to the second floor to find them?" Dangros climbed on the storage beads of his cloak and curiously stuck half a palm out 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 go find the sub-control node of the magic energy array."

Angel seemed to be walking around randomly, but in fact he was tracing the energy direction 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 was the deeper magic pattern, which appeared and disappeared from time to time, complicated but with exotic and elegant beauty, and used unique information flow to guide Angel in the direction of progress.

While walking, Angel also passed a huge experimental center, and Angel took a look and left.

The research projects in the experimental center are not suitable for him. Moreover, there is no profound research on the first floor. Therefore, it is better to find the sub-control node than to stay in an experimental center that does not have much meaning.

If the sub-control node can be found, the problem of the mind band may be solved.

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, it was the same as other corridors. Except for the wood grain treatment on the floor under the feet, the other three sides were silver or iron blue metal. Ventilation ducts, valves, energy pipes... everything looked normal.

However, this was just the surface.

In Angel's vision, the metal walls of this corridor were covered with a large number of magic pattern channels. If each line represents an energy torrent, then the walls and floors here are almost all surrounded by energy torrents.

So many magic pattern channels for energy supply appeared here, indicating that there must be a control node of the magic energy array deep in this corridor.

The control node of the magic energy array is the core of the first floor of the laboratory. Any ordinary person can guess that there must be risks here.

In fact, it is indeed the case.

As long as you step into this corridor, every step may trigger the rebound of the magic array. This rebound is definitely more frightening than the rebound of taking more than three exhibits in the exhibition room. The magic array will lock you as an enemy, overturn the power of the entire magic array, and clear and destroy the intruder.

Ordinary people would definitely not dare to break into such a dangerous corridor at will. Even the internal staff, including Reynolds, have never entered this corridor.

However, Angel did not care too much, and stepped in directly without hesitation.

Although a wrong step in this corridor will lead to devastating consequences, it is not difficult for Angel to find the exact landing point with his current magic pattern level.

To put it bluntly, this is actually a competition of computing power and background.

The landing point is changing dynamically, but as long as the magic pattern foundation is solid and the computing power is online, the landing point can be calculated in advance.

In this short corridor of dozens of meters, Angel seems to be walking normally, but in fact every step has been carefully calculated. In the end, he walked over unscathed.

At the end, Angel saw a door.

The door was not locked, and the magic pattern node behind the door could be clearly seen.

However, he did not go in immediately, because he saw a very difficult to find magic pattern trigger point at the door.

Under normal circumstances, as long as you step into the door, this trigger point will be activated.

Although I don’t know what is connected to the magic pattern trigger point and what will happen when it is triggered, it must be something bad.

Angel decided to suppress this trigger point first to avoid a rollover.

The method of suppression is also very simple, just like when Angel entered the laboratory, he directly connected an external magic pattern platform and temporarily 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 door.

As long as you don’t touch it actively, the trigger point will not be activated.

After doing all this, Angel stepped into the door.

As soon as he entered the door, the first thing Angel noticed was not the dazzling magic pattern on the wall, but an independent cabin covered with frost marks behind the door.

It looked like a coffin, standing there quietly.

Angel walked over and gently wiped the frost on the bulkhead, revealing the transparent glass wall.

Through the glass, you can see that there is a mechanical puppet with closed eyes in the cabin. There are two overlapping "X"s on its left face, and a single number 5 on its right face.

"Hunting sequence, No. 5." Angel whispered its name.

At this time, the mechanical puppet of the hunting sequence was sleeping. Even if Angel was watching it through a bulkhead, it showed no signs of waking up.

Angel looked around the bulkhead and found a magic pattern channel connecting to the side outside the door.

Seeing this, Angel already knew in his heart that the trigger point at the door was probably connected to this mechanical puppet.

If he had stepped directly into the door at that time, he would definitely not be facing such a sleeping puppet.

Angel studied the mechanical puppet carefully for a while with interest, but soon withdrew his attention and walked aside.

He was very interested in the workmanship of this mechanical puppet, but it would take more than a short time to thoroughly study it. Therefore, Angel decided to put it aside for now and focus on the sub-control nodes.

Angel was too familiar with the sub-control nodes of the magic array.

It seemed that the whole room was full of complicated magic patterns, which would make non-magic pattern warlocks dizzy and headache at a glance, but in Angel's eyes, no matter how complicated the magic patterns were, they could be deconstructed.

Now, these magic patterns have been deconstructed 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 array.

Including the triggering 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 complicated. However, in Angel's opinion, it's just like that... If he has enough time, he can modify this core block and let him formulate the "sentencing" for the magic array.

But if you really want to do it, it will take a lot of time. With this level of magic array, it will take at least ten days and a half months.

Angel didn't have time to waste here, and even if he really modified the core block, it was only the core block of one layer, and the core blocks of other layers could not be affected.

So, Angel ignored the core block directly, and among the countless blocks he sorted out, he looked for the block that blocked the information transmission between layers.

Angel quickly reviewed the information, and soon, he found his target.

…

The second underground floor of the base laboratory.

In a semi-enclosed room, Nice looked at the gradually dissipating shadow on the ground with a sad expression.

He turned his head suddenly and stared at Kant: "You must have done it on purpose! You clearly knew the value of the ghost shadow demon, but you didn't catch it, but directly blew its head."

Nice's voice was angry.

"Shadow Demon! My Shadow Entry Technique!"

Kant leaned against the wall leisurely and said calmly: "You know the reason yourself. The power of Shadow Demon has invaded Reynolds' soul. If you want to solve it quickly, you have to kill Shadow Demon. In other words, can you solve the Shadow Demon's power that has 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 "Magical Where to Find Them". It is a semi-extinct monster in the Southern Territory. No one has discovered it for at least a hundred years. It is the only shortcut to practice the Shadow Technique across departments.

Ness 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?"

"Probably not."

"Then this is not an auditory hallucination?!"

Nice woke up and asked in the psychic belt: "Are you... Angel?"
