Chapter 2421 Wrestling

"It seems that the mist shadow did come to the hidden room before." No wonder Angel had not found the location of the mist shadow when monitoring the sub-control node.

However, how did it enter the hidden room?

Could it be that the semi-void state can ignore the wall engraved with the magic array? If so, it can actually leave the laboratory at any time, and there is no need to possess Reynolds.

Unless, its purpose is not to leave, but to do something in the laboratory.

Moreover, this process must be carried out in the material world with the help of the flesh.

What is its purpose? Angel couldn't help but think of the first time he met the fire scale demon, the other party set fire in the corridor unscrupulously. Would its setting fire be related to its purpose?

"Or does it want to make trouble? Destroy the laboratory?"

Angel shook his head. He really couldn't guess the purpose of the mist shadow, so he could only put it aside for the time being.

"Angel, why did you suddenly stop talking?" At this time, Nice's voice sounded in the mind band.

Angel: "Nothing, I just found that Reynolds's body seemed to be hidden in the hidden room of No. 01."

"No. 01's hidden room? No. 01 is actually the leader of the base, right? Why is he so interested in Reynolds's body?" Nice muttered: "Could it be that he also has his eyes on the mascot's luck?"

Thinking of No. 01's current situation, Angel felt that Nice's guess might really be right.

Don't look at No. 01's crazy behavior now, but it doesn't mean that he is really crazy, just because he can't see hope, he can only go crazy in the end. But if there is really a little hope, he will never let go.

Maybe in the eyes of No. 01, Reynolds, who has a lucky aura, is a little hope.

Even if this kind of luck may be insignificant, No. 01 is willing to try, so he will keep Reynolds's body intact in the most secret place in the entire laboratory.

"By the way, what letter did you say you found just now?" Seeing Nice muttering beside him, Kant asked.

Angell: "It's letters from No. 01, the Setai Society, and some Void Business Travel Groups, probably hundreds of them."

"Letters? You only found letters in the hidden room, nothing else?" Nice didn't ask about the content of the letter immediately, because since Angell took the initiative to mention it, he would tell it sooner or later. Nice was more interested in the hidden room itself. In his opinion, the only hidden room in the entire laboratory that could not be explored should also have some secrets.

Angell was about to go out, but when he heard Nice's words, he paused again.

He turned his head and looked at this narrow room. There was nothing in the room except the laboratory table.

And there were only letters on the laboratory table.

This is indeed a bit inconsistent with the specifications here. Did No. 01 create this hidden secret room just to hide these letters?

Angell thought about it and came back to the laboratory table. He carefully examined the laboratory table that looked like a standard one.

There was nothing wrong with the overall appearance, but when Angell tried to probe his mental power into the interior of the laboratory table, he was blocked by a familiar force.

This is the power of the magic pattern.

Ordinary wizards would not care if they felt the magic pattern on the experimental table. Because the standard experimental table will have constant temperature and clean magic patterns, and according to the needs of different wizards, other force field magic patterns will be added.

But Angel is different from others. He knows a lot about magic patterns. He did feel the "temperature control" and "clean" magic patterns on the experimental table, but he also found other magic patterns:

"Hide, energy block, and camouflage."

Hide the secret, then block the mental power exploration, and then use the camouflaged magic pattern for energy feedback.

This allows the explorer to subconsciously ignore the secret inside.

This is also a magic pattern routine.

"I almost got tricked." Angel muttered secretly. If it weren't for Nice's reminder, he would probably ignore it.

I still suffered from my lack of experience.

I think this experimental table is a "standard model", which represents classics and is difficult to modify. Who knows, No. 01 really modified it.

After determining the problem, it is easy to solve it.

The magic array on the experimental table is not connected to the laboratory. It is independent and not difficult to crack.

However, Angel is not going to crack the magic array, but to open it directly.

This magic array is a breath encryption, and only recognizes the breath of No. 01. It is not difficult to get the breath of No. 01. The training ground outside is full of violent blood.

Collect some by special means, and you can directly open this magic array normally.

From this detail, it can be seen that the modification of the magic array of this experimental table is definitely not done by No. 01. If it was done by No. 01, he would not put the hidden room in the training ground... If someone really broke in, the blood in the training ground would be the code to help the enemy.

It only took a few seconds for the magic array to start smoothly.

In Angel's naked eyes, the experimental table slowly split into two halves, and a new platform rose in the middle.

In the middle of this new platform, there is a small box that can be held up with one hand.

"Is this the secret hidden by No. 01?" Because the box was not locked, Angel opened the box with curiosity.

However, there was nothing inside.

The only thing that can be seen is that the inside of the box is divided into two parts. Judging from the shape of the velvet cloth below, it seems that there were two bottle-like things in it before.

Angel carefully checked the box to make sure that nothing was missing, and could only put it back on the platform with regret.

"How is it? What's in it?" Nice's voice came from the mind band.

"There's nothing in the box." When Angel activated the magic array, he kept transmitting the situation here in real time, so Nice also knew his situation here.

Nice said with some disappointment: "So... It seems that No. 01 has taken it away."

Angel also left the hidden room at this time and prepared to return to the first floor along the way. As he walked, Angel also roughly recounted the contents of the letter.

"... The basic situation is like this." When Angel came to the external passage from the fifth floor to the first floor, he had already finished telling No. 01's current situation.

After Angel finished speaking, Nice and Kant on the other side of the mind band did not speak immediately.

This matter concerns a big figure in the source world, and they need to consider the next problem. No. 01 has obviously started hunting, and it is probably too late to stop it. If Gruzdewald is really angry about this, they might be affected if they stay nearby.

While Kant and others were thinking about what to do next, Angel walked into the outer corridor.

Everything went smoothly along the way, but when Angel climbed the stairs to the first floor, he suddenly saw a series of footprints on the ground.

There was a slight chill near the footprints, and from the extent of the marks, it seemed that they had appeared not long ago.

There is no doubt that this must be Reynolds, who was possessed by the mist shadow.

But Angel was a little confused. There were no footprints along the way before, why did they suddenly appear here?

Angel went up all the way, and when he was about to approach the entrance of the first floor, he saw another mark on the ground, but this time it was not a footprint, but a handprint.

Looking at the two handprints, plus a suddenly elongated footprint behind him

Angell could almost imagine the scene at that time: "Reynolds" was walking on the stairs, and suddenly his feet slipped, and he lost control of his body, and he fell hard, falling upside down.

Although humans with normal hands and feet are unlikely to fall, the opponent is "Reynolds" possessed by the mist shadow. Maybe it doesn't understand the way humans walk, or Reynolds has been "frozen" for too long, his limbs are stiff, and he may also fall.

So when he saw the traces of falling on the ground, Angell didn't think it was strange. He glanced at it and skipped it, and walked towards the exit on the first floor.

As soon as he walked out of the exit, Angell felt something was wrong.

Everything he could see was normal, but there was a smell of blood in the air.

Angel didn't immediately pursue the smell of blood, but first swept his eyes to the ground. The ground was very smooth, but in some places, the outline of footprints could be vaguely seen, and there was cold air escaping nearby.

Before, Angel was thinking that he would go to the main control node on the first floor to find Reynolds' whereabouts. But now it seems that maybe he doesn't need to go to the main control node. He just needs to follow the footprints to find the target.

After confirming the direction of the footprints, Angel began to smell the source of the bloody smell again.

He found that the direction where the bloody smell came from was exactly the direction where Reynolds was heading.

"Could it be that Reynolds's body is injured?" Angel was a little puzzled, otherwise where did the bloody smell come from? But if there was an injury, why didn't he smell the smell in the outer corridor before.

Soon, Angel came to the location of the bloody smell.

He looked at the corridor not far away and frowned.

This is a corridor that looks very ordinary. He walked through it when he went down before. But at this time, this corridor has become a little messy. The energy of the raging wind still remains in the air, and there are a few bloodstains on the floor.

The reason why Angel frowned is because he knows what is going on now.

The mechanism of this corridor has been activated.

Once activated, this corridor will release a large amount of violent wind energy in a short period of time. These wind energies will either form wind rolls or turn into wind blades, attacking all creatures in the corridor indiscriminately.

It sounds dangerous, but it is not. The mechanism of this corridor is triggered. As long as you don't touch the walls on both sides and walk straight, there will be no problem.

It is precisely because the triggering method is easy to avoid that Angel is confused.

Normal people will not touch it casually when they arrive at a strange place where they know there are traps, not to mention that the other party is Misty Shadow.

Moreover, Misty Shadow had previously controlled the Fire Scale Familiar to run from the first floor to the fifth floor. It didn't encounter the trap at that time. Why did it happen to encounter it this time?

Angel walked into this corridor with doubts.

While walking, he paid attention to the details around him. His eyes were obviously clearer than usual. This was the effect when the "Eye of True Vision" was turned on.

With the insight of the Eye of True Vision, Angel quickly found the location of the trigger.

Then, Angel looked around the trigger point again and saw a familiar mark.

It was a footprint that was stretched out in an instant.

It was very similar to the footprint he saw when he fell in the outer corridor before. If it was really because of a fall... Angel seemed to understand why the mechanism was triggered.

It is estimated that the mist shadow slipped here and subconsciously touched the walls on both sides. Then, the mechanism was triggered, the wind blade passed, and blood flowers bloomed.

Everything seemed to be just a coincidence, but Angel always felt that something was a bit strange.

Because Reynolds was injured in this windy corridor, it was easier to find his trace. Through the bloodstains and the pheromones scattered in the air, he could find his way.

However, as Angel continued to move forward, his brows became more and more furrowed.

He was about to reach the tenth corridor. Among the previous nine corridors, only two had mechanisms, and they were all trigger-type mechanisms.

But the two corridors with mechanisms were triggered.

Moreover, the triggerers all had obvious signs of being hit. For the time being, it is assumed that it was all caused by "unstable standing" and falling, but the previous ones were fine, what happened to this corridor in front of him?

Why was the mechanism in this corridor also triggered?

This corridor has a mechanism, which is also a trigger type, but its trigger point is a very hidden button. It is usually not triggered by the enemy, but by the enemy who discovers the danger and quietly presses the mechanism of this corridor to eliminate the enemy.

Such a mechanism, unless there is an outsider, if one person wants to trigger it alone, then it can only be said that... your hands are too cheap.

There is still a hissing "electric field" in the air.

Even if this electric field has reached its end, it still has an amazing deterrent power. This is the power of this mechanism, and it is also the most powerful of all the mechanisms that have been triggered so far.

Angel walked into it, and his skin could still feel tingling.

It can be imagined that the damage Reynolds suffered when he triggered the mechanism before would probably be terrible.

Walk all the way to the button where the mechanism is located.

When he saw the charred mark near the button, the traces of support on the nearby pipes, and the residual scratches on the ground. Angel roughly imagined the scene at that time.

Reynolds stumbled again near this place, but did not fall, but sprained his foot, so he supported the pipe next to him, not knowing that the hidden mechanism button was next to the pipe...

Is this another coincidence?

If we really follow the scene imagined by Angel, without any external interference, it does seem like a coincidence.

It’s just that this kind of coincidence has happened too many times before.

All coincidences lead to only one outcome: the mechanism is triggered and Reynolds is injured.

In summary, it is bad luck.
