Chapter 2412 Shortcut

Because of the physical disconnection of the outer corridor, the situation on the fourth floor is irreversible. It looks like an isolated island, but it is limited to the researchers trapped on the fourth floor.

Nice and Kant are on the fourth floor and will basically not encounter any danger.

Therefore, when Nice went to the data room, Angel was not worried and immersed himself in the study of the magic array again.

He has roughly mastered the magic array on the fourth floor. If he wants to master further or more core authority, he can't do it in a short time. Therefore, Angel put his target on other blocks.

The block he is most interested in now is undoubtedly the floor magic pattern that X0 wants to activate, and the situation on the fifth floor.

In terms of urgency, Angel first studied the floor magic pattern, after all, this may be related to the security issues inside the master control node. Moreover, he had already locked the magic pattern of the floor before, so it was more convenient to study.

As time went by, Angel continued to explore in depth in the gorgeous magic pattern.

"Blood contract, authority, level limit, activation."

As the magic pattern corners with a sense of foreign land were interpreted by Angell, the truth of the magic pattern hidden under the floor slowly surfaced.

"A magic energy array that can only be activated by blood with specific authority." Angell whispered softly: "The coordinates of the activated area are in the center..."

The perception began to radiate outward from Angell's eyebrows until it reached the center of the magic pattern.

Then, after suppressing the magic pattern corner representing "activation", Angell gradually penetrated his perception under the floor.

After a few seconds, Angell withdrew his perception.

"So that's it." Angell's eyes flashed with enlightenment. He had sensed something under the floor. It was a number with "yao" engraved on the left face and "0" engraved on the right face...hunting sequence.

Before, Angell was thinking that the sub-control nodes on the first, second and even third floors corresponded to hunting sequences numbered 5, 4 and 3 respectively. According to this rule, the fourth floor might be numbered 2 and the fifth floor might be numbered 1.

Who will the master control node correspond to?

At first, Angel guessed that it might be the legendary No. 00 who was still sleeping, so he was eager to study the truth of the underground magic pattern. But in the end, he guessed wrong. No. 00 was still not here. Under the magic pattern, the hunting sequence needed to be activated with the blood of No. X0.

Angel, through perception, discovered that his breath had broken through the upper limit of other hunting sequences when observing the hunting sequence No. 0.

From the breath point of view, it is stronger than him. But not much stronger. Even if X0 activates this hunting sequence, Angel believes that he can deal with it.

What's more, there are two major forces, Ermi and Toby. If one is not good, they will be directly besieged. No matter how strong, they will kneel.

However, now that he is sleeping, Angel did not activate it. If there is time and opportunity, he even wants to try to bring out the hunting sequence without activation.

This kind of mechanical puppet that exceeds the level of ordinary wizards is rare in the southern region. Angel really wants to study it.

However, judging from the current urgency, the matter of obtaining the hunting sequence will have to be postponed.

Now that the truth of the magic pattern under the floor has been cracked, Angell relaxed and prepared to study another block that interested him, the fifth floor.

What will happen on the fifth floor? Are there really only three rooms? Where is the legendary No. 00 sleeping?

These previously difficult questions, Angell believes, can be answered in this magic array that encompasses the entire base.

…

After Nice came to the data room, he immediately saw a researcher who was controlled in a very small area by a circular light arc.

This researcher No. 50 was facing a miniature light screen suspended in the air, and kept clicking. On the light screen was a cross-section of the entire fourth floor, with several glowing points in it.

But no matter how he pressed, the map on the light screen did not respond at all, as if it was stuck.

When Nice saw this scene, he immediately understood that what Angel said in the mind tie before, "the person who controls the fourth-layer magic array is not at the sub-control node, he may be using some external object to control it", the "external object" here should refer to the light screen floating in front of him.

Looking at the stuck light screen, Nice secretly felt lucky that Angel was there this time, otherwise this No. 50 would probably be able to play them around with the light screen.

While feeling lucky, Nice also became angry with this No. 50. It was because of this guy that they were forced to be trapped on the fourth floor.

However, no matter how angry he was, Nice suppressed it.

After all, the more important thing now is to find information, and No. 50 was also trapped by the circular light arc set by Angel and could not move. It would be okay to deal with him later.

Nice glared at No. 50 and went directly into the data area. As for No. 50, when he heard the door of the data room behind him open and the red light dot representing the intruder on the map on the light screen appeared outside the door, he lowered his head without hesitation and closed his eyes.

Don't look, don't listen, don't speak, don't ask.

It seems to express a certain attitude: I haven't seen your faces, I don't know who you are, and I don't know what you are doing in the reference room. I am just a wooden man without emotions.

This attitude seems calm, but the logic hidden deep inside is actually a hidden... begging for mercy.

This is indeed the case. No. 50's inner and outer expressions are completely different at this time. The calmer his expression, the more he trembles in his heart. He even wants to shout in fear: Why should he, an apprentice, face this group of wizard-level thugs? He is just a poor and weak researcher? And... why did the light screen suddenly fail?

No. 50's inner struggles, Nice and others are too lazy to pay attention, but his attitude is a smart move.

Nice and others walked into the data area.

The data area is very large, about the same size as a small exhibition hall in the Cloud Library. The interior furnishings are also similar to the Cloud Library, with neatly arranged steel bookshelves. According to the classification, the bookshelves are displayed with research materials, theme reports and related research books obtained by different researchers in the laboratory.

Because it takes authority to obtain information, Reynolds finally took the books, and Nice and Kant quickly screened the importance of books and information.

Reynolds took the maximum six books of his authority each time, three for Nice and three for Kant, and put them back on the bookshelf after reading them, and took six more. Even so, they were very fast.

Basically, they stayed on each bookshelf for one to three minutes at most, and then moved to another bookshelf.

Time passed quickly.

When they screened about 80% of the information, Angel's voice came from the mind band.

"Wizard Nice, how are you looking over there? Do you have any research materials on soul weapons?"

While Nice continued to screen with his hands, he had time to distract himself and replied: "Yes, but they are all scattered. They should be research conducted by different personnel. At present, we don’t know how much is involved, and we need to integrate them in the end. But I guess there shouldn’t be much core content."

To put it bluntly, it’s some marginal research on soul weapons. The core content is estimated to be found on the fifth floor.

However, even if it is just marginal research, Nice is very happy to collect it. With these contents, plus the soul-armed organs he obtained, even if he didn't find the core content in the end, he had a certain degree of confidence in analyzing it by himself.

"What about you? There was no sound just now. Did you find anything new? Is there really no way to other levels on the fourth floor?" Nice asked.

Angel: "I am sure that there is no passage to other levels on the fourth floor, but when I was observing the fifth-floor magic array just now, I found that there was only one way on the fifth floor, which is the passage from the fourth floor to the fifth floor. Now, the outer corridor of the fourth floor has been completely disconnected, which leads to the fifth floor..."

Before Angel finished speaking, Nice said: "The fifth floor has also become an isolated island?"

"You are right to say that. The fifth floor has indeed become an isolated island, but what I want to say is not this, but... the channel interface of the fifth floor has been vacated."

Nice asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

"Angel has said this, and you still don't understand?" The speaker was Kant. When Nice's thinking was a little slow due to distraction, Kant was very happy to mock him.

"Angel's meaning is very clear. Because the external corridors on the fourth and fifth floors are disconnected, the only channel interface on the fifth floor appears, which means that the new external corridor can be connected to the channel interface on the fifth floor."

Angel: "Lord Kant is right, that's what he meant."

Nice also recovered at this time and immediately understood the key. His eyes suddenly lit up and he said quickly: "Can you now connect the external corridors of other floors except the fourth floor to the fifth floor?"

Angel: "Yes, including the external corridor on the first floor."

In other words, as long as the external corridor is connected to the fifth floor, you can cross other floors and directly reach the fifth floor from the first floor.

"That's great!" Nice exclaimed in surprise: "Angel, you..."

Nice suddenly stopped, coughed twice, and said in a slightly serious tone: "You should be able to go from the first floor to the fifth floor now? Otherwise, let's make a deal, you go to the information room on the fifth floor to help me find it?"

Nice spoke carefully, thinking in his heart what kind of good news he needed to impress Angel.

However, Angel didn't think about the benefits at all, and said directly: "Okay."

Angel himself was also very interested in the fifth floor, and when he observed the layout of the fifth floor, he actually found several very hidden spaces.

There might be some secrets hidden there.

In addition, he was also interested in the information in the laboratory, including soul weapons, mechanical puppets, and even the information about the Setei Society and the source world mentioned by No. 03, which might be found on the fifth floor.

"You agreed?" Nice was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously.

"Why not agree?" Angel asked back.

Nice said dryly: "It's nothing, just agree, just agree."

After speaking, in order to ease the embarrassment, Nice turned back and glanced at No. 50 who was still closing his eyes in the distance: "This guy is self-righteous and disconnected the external corridor between the fifth and fourth floors. He probably didn't expect that he would end up making things worse."

The channel interface directly connected to the fifth floor on the first floor even saved Angel time.

Kant: "If you really want to go to the fifth floor, be aware that there may be traps and mechanisms there."

Angel: "Don't worry, I have roughly observed the situation on the fifth floor. I will suppress all the mechanisms involving the magic array in advance."

As for the mechanisms that do not involve the magic array... there should be very few or even no such mechanisms. After all, with the magic array as a convenient way, it would be a waste to use other mechanisms.

...

Although Angel decided to go to the fifth floor, he did not leave immediately.

He first roughly checked the magic array of the entire base laboratory to ensure that there was no danger of linkage; then, Angel called up the authority eye of the fifth floor through the main control node.

Through the authority eye, he directly observed the situation on the fifth floor.

Of course, the observation here is limited to the three rooms on the surface and the corridor. As for the hidden rooms, the authority eye cannot observe. If Angel wants to observe, he can only go there in person.

Angel observed the situation on the fifth floor mainly to see the fire scale familiar that broke into the fifth floor.

Before, he just roughly scanned the distribution of the fifth floor, and did not care about the fire scale familiar. But now that he is going to the fifth floor, he naturally has to take all the situations into consideration.

Through the previous details, whether it is Angel, or Nice, or Kant, they all think that the fire scale familiar is a bit weird.

If nothing unexpected happened, according to Reynolds, this fire-scale familiar should have escaped from the Monster Garden.

The Monster Garden is on the first floor.

And this fire-scale familiar is now on the fifth floor.

The fire-scale familiar does not have the shortcut that Angel can take. If it wants to go to the fifth floor, it must start from the first floor and go down layer by layer.

Normal fire-scale familiars are low-intelligence monsters, and it is absolutely impossible for them to find the passage to the next floor so accurately.

Even for monsters with high IQs, it is basically impossible to find the passage in a short time in this lab that is like a maze and full of magic arrays and traps.

It is incredible that this fire-scale familiar can do this.

Nice had previously speculated whether someone was connected with the fire-scale familiar? Otherwise, without the guidance of someone who is familiar with the road, it is difficult for the fire-scale familiar to know the way.

The truth is unknown, but Angel personally thinks that the fire-scale familiar may have really got the correct passage from someone in the laboratory, but it may not be connected.

Maybe the Fire Scale familiar threatened him with force?

Although the Fire Scale familiar is quite weak... But this Fire Scale familiar is different. Can it be called weak to be able to see through Kant's Night Shadow in the fourth-floor experimental center?

Moreover, if nothing unexpected happens, the No. 23 in the third-floor medical center is probably burned by the Fire Scale familiar.

Although No. 23 is a medical staff, his number is within 30, and he can barely be counted as a combatant. The Fire Scale familiar can even deal with No. 23, so threatening an ordinary researcher is not a problem.

It is precisely because of the above information that this Fire Scale familiar makes everyone feel weird.

It seems to be doing something with a purpose.

Moreover, if nothing unexpected happens, its target is on the fifth floor.

This makes Angel very curious, what will it do on the fifth floor?
