Section 2402 Main Control Clue

This world of magic patterns is like a trap full of temptations. The more you wait and see, the easier it is to fall. Especially for a beginner like Kant who has only a limited understanding of magic patterns.

Continuous exploration will also sink into the dazzling lights, thinking that you are knowledgeable, but in fact you have gained nothing, and you may also be attacked.

With Kant's knowledge, he naturally understood that this was the consequence of insufficient qualifications and foundation, so he quickly retracted his sight and no longer focused on the magic pattern projection.

"What should I do next?" Kant asked.

"There is nothing else to do for the time being, let me take a closer look at these magic patterns." Angel quickly replied.

Kant nodded, let the authority eye float in the air, and gave it a little magic power, so that it could rotate the view at will.

Kant didn't dare to look at the magic pattern projection, fearing that his mind would fall, so he simply began to observe the surroundings. Finally, his eyes were fixed on a transparent cabin box that looked like a coffin.

In the cabin box was a tall mechanical puppet. From the lines carved on its face, Kant immediately recognized its identity.

"Hunting Sequence, No. 4... I didn't expect that the top of the hunting sequence is in the node of the magic array..."

Not long ago, after they met Hunting Sequence No. 18 and No. 19 on the first floor, Reynolds explained to them the status of the hunting sequence in the laboratory.

In the mouths of Reynolds and some low-sequence personnel, the hunting sequence is generally recognized as a cold law enforcer. All those who violate the laboratory regulations will be cleared by them. Because once they are dispatched, they will inevitably cause death, so there is a "cold" prefix.

However, Reynolds also mentioned one thing, law enforcer is just their name. The hunting sequence is called a scavenger in the mouths of high-sequence personnel in the laboratory.

As for why, Reynolds doesn't know.

There is another thing related to the hunting sequence. It is said that there are 20 hunting sequences, and the higher the sequence, the stronger the strength. However, there are only 6 to 20 hunting sequences active in the laboratory. The top 5 hunting sequences have never appeared since the establishment of the laboratory.

Reynolds even speculated that there might not be the first 5 sequences, or the first 5 sequences were not in the laboratory in the South Region at all.

Unexpectedly, the first 5 hunting sequences were actually hidden in the sub-control nodes of the magic array. The mechanisms on them were connected to the trigger points of the magic array, and they were the guardians of all the sub-control nodes. Once someone broke in, they would inevitably be attacked mercilessly by them.

Unfortunately, they encountered Angel, who was extremely proficient in magic patterns... Not only did they avoid the trigger points, but they were also criticized by outsiders.

Hunting sequence No. 4 was a creation of mechanical alchemy, and some magic patterns were also engraved on its body, but compared with the magic patterns on the wall, the magic patterns on its body were simply too friendly.

Even Kant could understand a little.

So, while Angel was studying the sub-control nodes on the wall, Kant was studying this hunting sequence.

About a quarter of an hour later, Kant came back to his senses. From the magic patterns on the outer shell of the mechanical puppet, Kant had roughly seen the level of this puppet... This was a wizard-level puppet.

Before, they thought that there were only three wizard-level combatants in the base laboratory, but now it seems that this is not the case. Hunting Sequence No. 4 is already a wizard-level combatant.

It is estimated that those with higher sequences are also wizard-level combatants.

In other words, there are at least 7 wizard-level combatants in the laboratory. From this point of view, the foundation of this laboratory is also quite profound, worthy of coming from the source world.

As for the other parts of this mechanical puppet, such as what its ability is, Kant can't see it.

But just talking about a mechanical puppet with wizard-level combat power, its value is already very high, but it's a pity that it is connected to the magic energy array, otherwise Kant really wants to pry it away and take it back.

Kant has roughly finished looking at this mechanical puppet, so he retracted his gaze and turned back to look at Angel again.

He found that the authority eye represented by Angel was still immersed in the magic pattern, and from time to time he approached the magic pattern. It was reasonable that the magic pattern would rebound all those who approached it, but there was no reaction to the approach of the authority eye. This showed that Angel had a complete grasp of the timing of the energy flow inside the magic pattern, and could move in the projection of the magic pattern without triggering the magic pattern.

This was incredible in Kant's view.

You know, Kant didn't even have the qualifications to continue to watch the magic pattern, but Angel could do this with an authority eye.

It can only be said that... the young are formidable.

The alchemy master recognized by the R&D Institute is not fooling around.

"No. 03 probably hasn't realized yet... what kind of person has entered their base laboratory..." Kant secretly lit a candle for No. 03 in his heart. No. 03 didn't know that Angel was here. If she knew Angel's identity, she probably wouldn't stay so calmly in the head of the Wave Machine.

When Kant was silent in his heart, there was finally movement from Angel's side.

I only heard Angell say in the mind band: "It's just as I imagined!"

Before Kanter asked, Nice, who was waiting outside the corridor, said first: "What's going on inside, what's the same as you imagined?"

Angel: "I can't control the sub-control node on the second floor now, but I found an important clue in this sub-control node."

"What clue?"

Angel: "The clue points to the main control node!"

The reason why Angell wanted to use the vision of the authority eye to see the sub-control node on the second floor was actually to verify an idea in his mind.

Can the main control node be found?

The magic array can have multiple sub-control nodes, but there must be a master control node that can control the whole situation. Generally speaking, there is some kind of interconnection and interaction between sub-control nodes and master control nodes.

However, Angel only saw the sub-control nodes on the first layer, and he could not judge which magic patterns pointed to the master control node. Therefore, he needed more evidence.

And these evidences came from other sub-control nodes.

Now, in the sub-control nodes on the second layer, Angel got what he wanted. Here he did see the direction of the magic patterns associated with the first layer of sequence nodes.

It can be confirmed that these magic pattern directions are connected to the master control node.

Angel: "I can now confirm that it is feasible to find the location of the main control node through the sub-control node."

Nice: "Now that you have looked at the sub-control nodes on the second floor, can you find the main control node?"

Angel: "With only two copies of data, it is not easy to calculate the location of the main control node, and the amount of calculation will be very large. If I can see the sub-control nodes on the third floor, I will be more confident."

Angel's meaning is very clear. If you want to find the main control node, then continue to take the authority to the third floor and look at the sub-control nodes on the third floor.

Do you want to do it? Nice and Kant did not hesitate at all, and the answer was definitely: do it.

As long as the main control node is found, the secrets hidden in this laboratory will basically be revealed.

Their safety will also be greatly guaranteed.

Angel may be able to control the magic array in reverse...

"Okay, let's go to the sub-control node on the third floor! Will the vision of this authority eye be blocked after going to the third floor?" Nice asked after making a decision.

Angel: "No."

Nice: "Then we'll go now."

Angel: "Okay, but before we leave, I need Lord Kant to do something."

Kant was stunned for a moment: "What?"

"Suppress the information isolation block between the second and third floors..." If it is not suppressed, even if Angel can see the environment of the third floor through the authority eye, he will not be able to communicate with them.

Kant looked at the dazzling magic pattern projections on the wall and swallowed his saliva.

After a long while, Kant hesitated and said: "Then I'll try."

Finally, when Kant successfully suppressed the information isolation block and walked out of the corridor, his face was pale, and there were spots of sweat on his wrinkled forehead.

Although Kant didn't say anything, just from these details, Nice knew that Kant probably went through a lot of torture to suppress the information isolation.

Nice is now very fortunate that it was not the sub-control node he entered at that time. Even a top true wizard like Kant turned pale, wouldn't he at least have weak legs when he came out? If your legs really become weak and you can't walk, it would be a huge embarrassment.

The rest of the journey was silent.

Angel was trying to use two pieces of evidence to crack the location of the main control node, while Nice was too embarrassed to speak, fearing that he would provoke Kant... Normally he could be unrestrained, but now Kant's face was too bad.

In this way, they walked all the way to a path that was narrower than the corridor of the sub-control node.

This path was curved, and there was a corner not far ahead.

Nice used his mental power to explore and found that after turning the corner, there would be a wall at most ten meters. In other words, this path was a dead end.

"Go to the third floor, are you sure you want to go this way?" Nice asked Reynolds.

Reynolds nodded: "I'm sure."

Nice opened his mouth to say something, but thinking of the situation from the first floor to the second floor, he finally closed his mouth. Anyway, Reynolds is a local snake, just follow him.

The path was not long, and soon they turned and arrived at the end of the dead end.

"Wait here for ten seconds." Reynolds said.

Ten seconds later, Reynolds led everyone back and stopped at the entrance of the trail, waiting for another ten seconds.

Next, when they walked forward again and turned the corner, they saw that the end of the trail was no longer a wall, but a long staircase leading down.

Nice: "It's exactly the same as the situation from the first floor to the second floor... I didn't expect you to go back after going downstairs. Is this a mechanism?"

Reynolds scratched his head: "I don't know if it's a mechanism, it should be? Anyway, if you want to go to the next floor, you have to go this way, and the third floor to the fourth floor is the same way."

At this time, Angel, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said: "In fact, there is no direct staircase between each floor of the laboratory."

"Huh, what do you mean?"

Angel: "From the first floor to the second floor, from the second floor to the third floor, they are all independent, and there is no direct road connection at all."

"Then what's the matter with the trail we are on now?"

Angel: "I call this trail a tentacle, the tentacle of the giant laboratory. Or, it can also be called an external corridor."

Angel's words made Kant and Nice think of one thing at the same time.

Before they entered the base laboratory, they used their mental power to sense the general shape of the entire laboratory. At that time, they found that the laboratory was surrounded by square "tentacles".

Now it seems that the path they are in is actually in the "tentacles".

The reason why they turned back and forth here and waited for twenty seconds before the entrance to the third floor appeared was because the tentacles were moving, moving from the independent second floor to the entrance to the third floor.

"So that's how it is... If someone finds us in the tentacles, can't they just cut off the tentacles, and we'll be buried underground?" Nice said.

Kant: "Can you stop being such a pessimist?"

Angel said seriously: "The situation that Wizard Nice said is very likely to happen. The lab probably does this for insurance. Once something goes wrong, the tentacles can be cut off directly, so that the layers can be completely independent."

Because of this, they are not actually safe.

Once someone discovers their invasion, they can completely cut off the tentacles between each layer. If they want to leave, they can only confront the lab head-on, and they will inevitably suffer a counterattack from the entire magic array.

Thinking of this, Nice had a slight bad premonition in his heart.

"The person who built this lab must have persecution paranoia, so it's so strict." After Nice finished speaking, he couldn't help but swear.

In order to prevent the premonition from coming true, it is now necessary to help Angel find the main control node as soon as possible. Only by finding the main control node and having a certain authority of the magic array can there be a way to avoid being constrained by others.

Thinking of this, Nice quickly stepped into the stairs to the third floor.

Everyone followed.

After arriving at the third floor, Angel immediately observed the direction of the surrounding magic patterns through the field of vision of the authority eye, and guided Nice and others to the sub-control node on the third floor.

As for the showroom, this is not urgent... The crisis is ahead, and personal gains and losses can be put aside.

Everyone hurriedly moved on the third floor, and all the rooms they encountered on the way were ignored. Their goal was only the sub-control node.

However, there was still a little accident on the way.

They encountered an obstructor.

This was the first time they encountered people since they entered the laboratory.

It was not just one person, but three people at once. Moreover, Reynolds knew these three people.

"Ya, Lin, and... Kama." Reynolds stared at the people who came, and whispered their names.

However, the other party obviously did not agree with this name, his eyes were cold, and he did not react at all.

From the appearance, these three people are all men, wearing silver-white base uniforms, standing tall, and quite imposing.

There were also numerical symbols on their faces, but their numerical tattoos were different from those of No. 03 or the hunting sequence, but similar to those of Reynolds.

On the left was X, and on the right was a number.

From left to right, the three of them were X5, X9, and X2.

When they saw the "X", everyone understood that the person in front of them was an experimental living being like Reynolds.

Reynolds had said before that nine people like him survived the experimental living being. In the process of carrying out missions, collecting intelligence, and assassinating over the years, four more died. Excluding Reynolds, there were only four people left.

They met three of them.
