Chapter 2400 Shadow Demon

After listening to Angel's explanation, which was so concise that it could be combined into one sentence, Nice and Kant were silent.

"The information in the mind band cannot be transmitted because the magic array has the effect of isolating information between layers. I found the sub-control node of the magic array and temporarily turned off this isolation effect."

This is Angel's explanation.

It sounds as if anyone can find a switch and press it to present the current situation. But Nice and Kant are not stupid. Their rich experience is enough to let them understand the hugeness and complexity of this magic array.

Angel can find the sub-control node so quickly and even control it in a short time. This is completely a manifestation of his deep magic pattern foundation. If it were someone else, even some magic pattern masters, it would be difficult to succeed. Because the magic array in this base laboratory is not only magic pattern, but also involves the scope of mechanical alchemy. Only people like Angel who have a deep understanding of magic pattern and are also alchemy masters can achieve this level.

"Angel's growth rate is beyond my imagination." Kant sighed.

"Yeah, such a good seedling, how come Sanders got it cheaply at the beginning." Nice said with envy.

Neither of them used the mind band when they talked at this time, so Angel didn't hear their sighs. But even if he heard it, he wouldn't care, Graya said this almost every day.

Angel was talking to Reynolds about their current situation at this time

Facing Angel's concern, Reynolds was slightly moved, after all, the two wizards around him were really unreliable now. So when Angel asked about their situation, Reynolds didn't hide it, and told them in detail what happened after they went down to the second floor.

The situation on the second floor was roughly the same as the first floor. No one was met along the way, including the experimental center, which was also empty.

So Nice prepared to follow the routine of the first floor and go to the exhibition room first.

On the way to the exhibition room, they were attacked.

The attacker was a ghost shadow demon.

As soon as the ghost shadow demon appeared, it rushed towards Reynolds with its fangs and claws. Reynolds' soul was invaded by the power of the shadow demon in a short time. In order to quickly save Reynolds, Kant directly blew the shadow demon's head.

This is why they had a conversation in the mind band before.

"We didn't meet anyone along the way. The only thing we met was the attacker. Have you been discovered?" Angel asked after listening.

This is actually the question in Nice's mind: "I also think it's a bit strange. Reynolds himself said that we didn't trigger the mechanism. But the shadow demon still appeared, and from its movements, it was a sneak attack. In other words, it ambushed us."

"We, haven't really been discovered? It's because the hunting sequence was triggered on the first floor."

After Nice finished speaking, everyone's expressions were a little solemn, no one spoke, and the mind band fell into a brief silence.

After more than ten seconds, Kant broke the silence and said, "It's just a guess at the moment, but I have an idea."

After a pause, Kant continued, "Since Angel is already at the sub-control node on the first floor, can you find out whether we have triggered the magic array?"

Nice's eyes lit up at this time. What Kant said was indeed a method.

Angel: "Okay, wait a moment."

Speaking of which, Angel originally contacted them with similar intentions. They may be somewhat restricted in their actions in the magic array, and Angel can help them avoid danger to a certain extent by understanding the magic array.

After a while, Angel's voice sounded again in the mind band: "No, you didn't trigger the magic array on the first floor. As for the second floor, I don't know. By the way, when I was checking the sub-control nodes just now, I found an interesting block."

Nice: "What interesting block?"

Angel: "You will know in a while."

After speaking, Angel's voice disappeared from the mind band. No matter how Nice called, Angel did not respond. Obviously, Angel blocked the information from the outside world again.

After failing to contact Angell, Nice simply gave up and turned to look at Kant: "Mr. Ruye, what do you think?"

Kant: "After entering the laboratory, the only place that may trigger the magic array is to encounter the hunting sequence in the first floor exhibition room. Since Angell has confirmed that the magic array was not triggered on the first floor, the possibility of us being discovered should be small."

"Moreover, Angell's confirmation also allows us to rule out a key point: there is no one on the first and second floors, which should have nothing to do with our sneaking into the laboratory."

Nice also nodded, and he also agreed with what Kant said: "But how to explain the ghost shadow demon

Kant: "As for why we were attacked by the ghost shadow demon here. My personal opinion is that the Shadow Demon may have been deployed here a long time ago. He is not here to attack us, but to..."

Kant said this and turned his eyes to Reynolds.

Nice seemed to have thought of something and narrowed his eyes: "I remember that when the Shadow Demon appeared before, it ignored everyone else and rushed straight to Reynolds, right?"

When the Shadow Demon appeared, their positions were: Bone Knight in the front, Reynolds in the second, and Nice and Kant in the back.

In theory, the Shadow Demon should attack the Bone Knight, but it bypassed the Bone Knight and aimed directly at Reynolds.

If the Shadow Demon is to attack the energy body, the inside of the Bone Knight is also a soul, it should not go far away. As for bullying the weak and fearing the strong, this is not right. The weakest auras are Nice and Kant. These two did not release their auras from beginning to end. With the Shadow Demon's meager IQ and weak perception, it should pick Nice and Kant, not Reynolds, if it wants to bully the weak and fear the strong.

With this clarification, the Shadow Demon's goal is very clear. It does not exist to sneak attack others. It is to deal with Reynolds.

Kant: "Do you remember the Shadow Demon's ability?"

Nice nodded.

The Shadow Demon can hide in the shadow of a creature, absorb the energy in the shadow to survive, and gradually invade the organism, and finally control the organism until it replaces the organism.

But if the Shadow Demon invades an energy body, such as a soul, it does not need to wait too long to directly achieve the effect of controlling the soul.

"That is to say, once the Shadow Demon invades Reynolds' soul, it means that it can control Reynolds."

"Its original intention is to control Reynolds' soul, and perhaps finally return to his body, and then completely replace Reynolds."

Kant nodded, agreeing with Nice's statement: "Moreover, this road is a public road on the second floor. Whether going to the showroom or the third floor, you will pass through here. In other words, if Reynolds returns to the laboratory, he will definitely pass through this corridor. It makes sense that the Shadow Demon is arranged to ambush here."

To sum up, the Shadow Demon is indeed not here for them, but to ambush Reynolds.

Of course, this is a guess. Moreover, in order to make this guess reasonable, there must be another premise: Reynolds has something special and is valued by the person who controls the Shadow Demon.

Otherwise, the other party would not send such a precious Shadow Demon to ambush Reynolds.

As for whether Reynolds has something special.

Kant and Reynolds have been in contact for a short time, and may not be able to understand it, but Nice has experienced it several times: Reynolds has the "John's Counterattack" template.

Luck is a mysterious concept. Except for the prophecy wizards, most wizards will sneer at it because it is too difficult to figure out and it is impossible to give a clear and traceable definition.

But for Reynolds, luck is like a constant talent that pops up from time to time.

If the person who controls the shadow demon knows that Reynolds has the talent of "luck", no, not if, but the other party must know. After all, Reynolds has lived in the laboratory for decades.

Then, it is reasonable for him to deal with Reynolds.

No one will let go of such a lucky person. Even if they don't use him, it's good to put him at home as a mascot.

Including Nice, he really hopes to take Reynolds back to the Soul Valley.

On the other hand, after listening to the analysis of Nice and Kant, Reynolds felt that it might really be aimed at him. After all, according to his past experience, it is impossible for the shadow demon to appear here.

However, after thinking about it carefully, it seems wrong: "If they really ambush me on the road they must take, the first floor will do."

Nice: "Why do you want to go back to the lab?"

"For my body."

"Where is your body?"

"In a deeper layer."

Nice: "That's it. They may not be sure whether you will come back, but as long as you come back, they will definitely go to the deeper layer to find your body. It's normal to ambush you anywhere. As for why they didn't come on the first floor, maybe it's to let you relax your guard."

Kant: "There is another possibility. They were originally going to capture you on the first floor. The shadow demon on the second floor is just a spare case, just in case."

"As for who will arrest you on the first floor, isn't the answer already clear?"

Reynolds was stunned for a moment, and a graceful witch figure emerged in his mind. On the other side of her face, there was a 0 and a 3.

No. 03.

Perhaps, the person who was originally going to catch Reynolds was No. 03, but the appearance of Ferro and others delayed No. 03.

"Whether this guess is true or not, you are definitely being targeted by them." Kant patted Reynolds on the shoulder with pity in his eyes.

Nice: "It's good to be targeted. I hope that on the way, it would be better to ambush a few more shadow demons."

"Okay, don't waste time here, let's go to the exhibition room on the second floor first."

Reynolds was arranged between Nice and Kant this time. During the walk, Reynolds' expression was still a little dazed: "The people in the laboratory know that I know the internal route. If they really want to ambush me, will they also..."

"You are not important enough for them to know the internal route of the laboratory. Don't worry, at most they will send some people or monsters to track you." Nice said, and he seemed eager to try for the ambushers that might be encountered later.

Unfortunately, they did not encounter any other ambushers all the way to the door of the exhibition room on the second floor.

The shadow demon that Nice was thinking about did not appear again.
