Chapter 2403 Song
"No. 1, you have brought people into the laboratory twice in a row, which has violated the rules. You must go with us to see the adults, otherwise you will bear the consequences." The speaker was X9, whose pupils were white and a hint of coldness escaped from his mouth.
Although X5 and X2 did not speak, from their cold and disgusted expressions, it can be seen that they also stood on the side of X9.
Obviously, although they were experimental subjects like Reynolds, they did not have free thinking like Reynolds, and they had been completely brainwashed.
Under the gaze of the three, Reynolds lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.
After a long while, he said, "Rin, I told you that I'm not No. 1, I'm Reynolds."
X9, the man Reynolds called 'Rin', had a slightly fluctuating look in his eyes after hearing Reynolds' words, but he eventually returned to his indifference: "It seems that you are still stubborn, so don't blame us."
After X9 finished speaking, he stopped talking to Reynolds and directly took an attacking stance with X5 and X2.
However, just when Reynolds thought they would attack, he found that they turned their heads and ran away, and the momentum accumulated before disappeared in an instant.
Reynolds was stunned for a moment, and soon realized what was going on.
Reynolds believed that the three of them might be similar to the second-floor ghost demon, and they were also trying to ambush him.
However, the three of them were different from the ghost demon. They had good eyesight and independent judgment.
The most work done by these surviving experimental subjects was to collect intelligence. With their knowledge, how could they not know Nice and Kant?
One is a famous soul wizard, and the other is the patriarch of a secret family. Even if they face one of them, they can't win, let alone facing both of them at this time.
In this case, it is impossible to ambush Reynolds, so the best way is to run away and ask for help.
However, it is very unlikely to escape in front of a formal wizard.
Ness and Kant didn't even move, and directly let the bone armor knight come forward and stop the three of them by himself.
Perhaps because they were only facing the bone armor knight, they were not completely desperate, and they all took out their highest combat power, wanting to defeat the bone armor knight and escape.
Unfortunately, the operator of the bone armor knight was Ness, who used his absolute strength and pressed the three of them to the ground in less than two minutes.
But this does not mean that their strength is not strong. If they were placed in the new star competition, they would also be qualified to compete for supernovas. Moreover, there are also many shining points in their battles, such as soul armament.
Their soul weapons are different. X9 is called "Rin" by Reynolds. He can control a large amount of cold air with his soul weapon and can act as a controller in battle.
X5 is also called "Ya". His soul weapon is a dark green dagger that can cut through the soul and poison people. It can weaken the opponent in battle.
As for X2, who is called "Sickle" by Reynolds, he is the strongest among the three. He directly pulled out a black long-handled sickle from the soul land and confronted the bone armor knight head-on. At the beginning, he even chopped off the head of the bone armor knight, which shows how manic its attack is... However, the bone armor knight has a soul inside, and the so-called head being chopped off is actually the helmet being chopped off, which has no effect on it.
The three have weakening, control, and strong attack. This is already a perfect team. They have the strength to fight any apprentice strongman. Even Onassis and Trom, the champion and runner-up of the Rising Star Competition, are likely to fail when they meet such a combination.
If the three of them cooperated to capture Reynolds, it would be easy. However, this time Reynolds came back with two super bosses...
After catching the three people, Nice immediately sealed their souls, making them unable to move from the inside out. Because according to Reynolds, they had a suicide switch hidden in their bodies, and if the mission failed, they would commit suicide directly. This was done just in case.
After sealing their souls, Nice began to torture them through their souls, trying to get more information.
However, the information they gave was not more than Reynolds. This was normal, Reynolds' sequence was higher than theirs, and he must know more than them.
The only information they got was that they were indeed here to ambush Reynolds. Moreover, they were stationed here three days ago, and as long as Reynolds appeared, they would be captured as soon as possible.
It is worth mentioning that the one who was stationed here to capture people was No. 03, and they did not know that there was a shadow demon on the second floor.
Of course, this does not mean that the shadow demon on the second floor was not here to ambush Reynolds. According to various signs, it can be inferred that the person standing behind the Shadow Demon is No. 02, the shadow wizard who is good at hiding and sneak attacks.
No. 03's people did not know about the ambush set by No. 02. This may be because No. 03 did not inform them, but it may also be that... No. 03 did not know about No. 02's arrangement.
If it is the latter, it would be interesting.
No. 03 wants to catch Reynolds, and No. 02 also wants to catch Reynolds, but they are all acting secretly.
If this is the case, it means that Reynolds must have something they covet, such as... lucky talent?
Of course, the above are just speculations, and it is hard to say whether it is true.
But if it is true, maybe No. 01 also has something against Reynolds, and he may have set up an ambush somewhere?
This is all the information these three people know. They have been hiding nearby for the past few days, not paying attention to other things, and even not knowing that all the combatants have gone out.
Nice also asked them about where the researchers on these floors went, but they didn't know anything.
In order not to waste time, Nice didn't continue to ask, but Reynolds thought about it and asked: "Do you know where 'Song' is?"
The three were silent for a moment, and finally X9 said: "I don't know, you should know better than us, she rarely appears in the laboratory. Maybe, she is doing a mission outside."
Reynolds nodded and said no more.
After the questioning, it was time to consider how to deal with the three of them.
Reynolds took the initiative to plead with Nice. Even if they were not compatible, he couldn't bear to see his past companions die in front of him.
After thinking for two seconds, Nice did not kill them, but put the three of them in his exile space.
It wasn't Reynolds's plea that worked, but Nice was very interested in soul weapons. These three were the final successful experimental subjects carefully selected by the laboratory. They might be helpful to his future research on soul weapons, so he kept them alive.
Next, they did not encounter any other dangers. They followed Angel's guidance and searched for the sub-control nodes on the third floor.
On the way to find it, Nice asked Reynolds curiously: "Who is the 'song' you mentioned when you asked them just now?"
"She is... No. X3." Reynolds' voice was slightly low, and his mood was inexplicably low.
"Is it the one you said can control sea beasts?" Nice still remembered that Reynolds introduced his fellow experimental subjects not long ago, and specifically pointed out X3, saying that her soul weapon can control large sea beasts to a certain extent, and is the most unique among all the experimental subjects.
"Yeah." Reynolds: "Her ability is very dangerous. She can control sea beasts, so her usual tasks are mostly patrolling nearby waters. Half of the ships that enter the fog belt will be swallowed by the bad sea conditions, and the other half are basically sunk by the sea beasts she controls... If you meet her, you need to be careful."
Nice raised his eyebrows after listening. Controlling sea beasts in the fog belt to expel outsiders is indeed a powerful ability. Even if you can't control formal wizard-level sea beasts, in the harsh environment of the Devil's Sea, ordinary sea beasts are enough to capsize freighters guarded by extraordinary people.
Nice: "X3's ability is to control sea beasts. When we came here, there were very few sea beasts nearby. Perhaps X3 also went to the nest with those combatants to lead the sea beasts away."
This is Nice's guess, but combined with the current situation, it may be true.
Angel: "Reynolds, from your tone, you seem to care about her?"
Reynolds was silent for a moment, nodded: "Yes, she used to be my best partner, and she had the same philosophy as me, but later she was brainwashed by the laboratory."
In short, Reynolds and X3 were barely soul mates, but later X3 abandoned his past philosophy and embraced the blind loyalty of the Setei Society. This was a big blow to Reynolds. If some things didn't exist at the beginning, you wouldn't care about losing them, but if they existed at the beginning, once they were lost, it would be difficult to accept.
No one commented on the past between Reynolds and X3, but just mentioned it lightly.
Next, they didn't talk much about X3, and continued to walk in the three-story corridor that led in all directions, looking for the final destination.
After a while, they came to a spacious corridor.
This is still not a sub-control node, but there is a door here that Nice cares about.
Showroom.
The showroom on the third floor is on this corridor.
They were originally looking for a sub-control node, but they passed by here on the way.
"Do you want to go in?" Angel also noticed the nameplate of the showroom, turned around with the authority eye, and looked at Nice.
Nice did not hesitate and shook his head directly: "Don't rush, it's not too late to talk about it after finding the sub-control node."
Although Nice was eager for the exhibits, he was also very clear about the current situation. They were not safe. After finding the sub-control node, helping Angel determine the location of the main control and solving his own safety problems, he had the mind to think about good things.
So, even if they saw the door of the showroom, they still skipped it directly.
Nice forced himself not to look at the showroom, while Kant stared at the door of the showroom, as if thinking about something.
After a while, Kant picked up the authority eye and asked Angel: "Speaking of which, have you ever thought about getting a soul weapon?"
Angel replied without hesitation: "No need."
Angel was somewhat interested in soul weapons, but to obtain soul weapons, he had to undergo an organ transplant. This was the reason why Angel refused.
He was not against organ transplantation, but Sanders had mentioned that it was best not to transplant organs at will before the projected bloodline was thoroughly clarified.
Transplanting organs from other organisms would produce rejection, and if not handled properly, it might even pollute one's own bloodline. There is no conclusion yet on whether the projected bloodline can accept "pollution". But generally speaking, if the bloodline is mixed, it may lead to physical collapse.
Of course, there are ways to eliminate the disadvantages of mixed bloodline. The bloodline side can use magic, and the non-bloodline side can use magic patterns and potions.
But this is based on research on ordinary bloodlines. Angel's projection bloodline is currently the first in the wizarding world in the Southern Region, so it is best to deal with it carefully.
It is precisely because of this consideration that Angel would not choose transplantation even if he was interested in soul weapons.
Kanter: "I vaguely know something about you from Sanders. Although he didn't say it clearly, the main reason why you are unwilling to transplant organs is probably because you are afraid of contaminating your bloodline, right?"
Angel nodded.
Kanter: "You have actually fallen into a thinking trap. You are afraid of contaminating your bloodline. Why don't you choose an organ that will not contaminate your bloodline?"
Angel was stunned for a moment: "Is there such an organ?"
This time it was not Kanter who spoke, but Nice who said: "It seems that your seclusion in the ruins some time ago was not enough."
"What I have accumulated is the ability of the illusion system..."
Nice: "Organs that can pollute blood vessels generally overlap with human body organs, or they must enter the body's circulation in order to be used. For example, eyes, ears, mouth, nose, tongue, limbs... these are the human body itself. Yes, if an external organ is to be transplanted and it wants to be effective, it must enter the body's circulation, which may contaminate the blood. "
"But some organs that the human body does not have, or are simply driven by energy circulation, will not participate in the body's circulation. You can transplant these organs. In fact, this can no longer be regarded as a transplant, it can only be said to be embedded in your body. A special prop that you can replace at any time.”
"For example, the phantom beard of White Night Butterfly does not exist in the material world at all. It is an energy product and cannot pollute your bloodline."
"Also, the snakehead widow's exoskeleton is an external skeleton. It is used for defense and does not participate in internal circulation."
Under Nice's popular science, Angel was stunned for a while. This was the first time he had heard of this type of transplanted organ. If it can really not pollute the bloodline and can be replaced at any time, then this would suit him very well.
Nice: "Of course, the effects of such organs that do not participate in the circulation of the body are generally not very good. In the eyes of most wizards, these organs are not even as good as the alchemy tools they carry, and they are considered nondescript when placed on their bodies."
"Actually, I think so too."
"However, although the reputation of this type of organ is not very good, I think it is very suitable for you. You do not need the effects of organ transplantation, but you can try soul weapons. After all, non-soul souls are very fragile. If you can It’s definitely not a loss for you to have a soul weapon to protect you.”
