Chapter 2622 Prison Cell
Although the door is also covered by the magic array, it is difficult to depict the advanced techniques in the magic array, such as three-dimensional magic patterns, overlapping magic patterns, etc., because of its simple and thin structure. Therefore, although there is an extension of the magic array on the door, it is a relatively vulnerable part of the entire magic array.
Just look at these two buildings.
All the doors of these two buildings have been destroyed. Even if there is a magic array attached to the door, when it is hit by a large number of witch ghosts, the door will still be broken.
Therefore, when Angel saw a door that was still intact, he was actually quite surprised.
Why is only the door here still intact?
With doubts, Angel came to the door, and the "server" of the Eye of Nalda was quickly constructed in the thinking space. By running the knowledge accumulated in the "server", Angel quickly identified various information about the door.
The material of the door, the size of the door, the traces left on the door... All kinds of information were processed by the "server" and gave Angel intuitive answers.
Sure enough, this door is essentially very different from other doors.
It is made of excellent stone, even higher than the material of the building itself, which allows this door to carry more magic patterns than other doors.
Among them, Angel found at least hundreds of magic pattern corners related to "reinforcement". Other doors may only have a few magic pattern corners like "tough" and "firm".
This is why this door has remained intact so far, because it is too hard.
Unfortunately, except for the magic patterns of reinforcement, which are extremely compatible with the stone, they are still running so far, and most of the other magic patterns have been destroyed, which is why this door was opened.
However, from those magic patterns that have been destroyed, we can get a glimpse of how tight this place was back then.
If it were not for the erosion of the power of time and the impact of too many witch ghosts, this door would have been a copper wall, strictly protecting the entrance and exit of the two buildings.
Such tight protection made Angel more and more curious. What were the fifth and sixth floors of the building opposite originally used for?
Passing through the gate, Angel walked into a closed corridor. The other end of the corridor was the top floor of the building where Angel first entered.
There was no witch ghost on the corridor, and Angel successfully came to the terrace at the other end.
On this terrace, there was also a door.
The situation of this door was almost exactly the same as the previous one. The material was intact and solid, but the other magic patterns were still broken.
With a gentle push, the door was slowly pushed open.
Behind the door was a dark staircase leading down.
Angel walked in without hesitation. The length of this staircase exceeded the obvious spatial boundary, which also meant that the fifth and sixth floors of this building were not as big as the outside world saw, and its interior should have been expanded.
After walking quickly for about ten seconds, Angel came to the corner of the stairs.
There is an open door at the corner, and behind the door you can clearly see a bright and wide hall.
However, this is not the end of this staircase. If you continue walking along the corner, you will see another staircase going down.
If the space expansion is only carried out on the original floor, then the sixth floor should be behind this door, and going down is to the fifth floor.
But if the space expansion is a three-dimensional expansion that is not carried out according to the specifications, then it is difficult to say how many floors there are here.
Angel personally thinks that the answer may be the latter.
If there are only two floors in such a tightly guarded place, wouldn’t it be a waste of talent?
Angel did not continue to go down to verify how many floors there are here, but walked into the nearby door first.
He did not forget his purpose. The first thing is to find a suitable witch ghost and let Ermi merge into the shadow. As for exploration and verification, this is not something that needs to be done immediately.
After entering the door, there is a familiar hall layout inside.
Similarly, there are quite a few witch ghosts in the hall. The open space plus a large number of witch ghosts are not suitable for Ermi to complete the task.
Angel called out "Speed Spirit" softly in his heart.
Without Angel's instructions, Speed Spirit had already controlled the flowing wind and began to quickly explore the general situation of this layer of space.
Because he was worried that the power of wind would alarm the Wumu ghost, Speed Spirit controlled the wind that was already flowing here, which also reduced its efficiency and detection accuracy a lot. But in general, it was still faster than Angel's own exploration.
After a while, Angel's mind came with the approximate distribution map of this layer of space given by Speed Spirit.
"Is it bigger than expected?" And... it is staggered, with multiple stairs going down at different heights.
Now there is no need to go to the stairs under the corner to verify, it can be basically confirmed that the space here is expanding in a three-dimensional direction. Angel does not know how many floors there are. But it is definitely more than two floors.
Although Speed Spirit has explored the general distribution of the space, the specific situation still needs Angel to investigate it personally.
The rooms on this floor are relatively large, and the central room is not the current hall, but another circular hall.
All other rooms are built around the circular hall. Including the hall in front of him.
The first place Angle went to was naturally the circular hall, which was well connected and was the best transfer station.
When he walked into the circular hall and saw the scene in front of him, Angel's brows slightly frowned.
Although this place has been almost destroyed, from some fragments on the ground and familiar metal handles, it can be basically confirmed that this circular hall is a laboratory.
Moreover, it is a huge, open laboratory.
It is even larger than the laboratory with hundreds of people working together that I saw before.
What kind of research was Naraku City doing back then? It requires so many and such large laboratories, and the location of this laboratory is so hidden?
Angel could not get any clues from the debris on the ground, so he could only suppress this doubt.
The Wumu ghosts in the circular hall are more concentrated. Angel carefully avoided them, passing through different corridors and shuttling in various rooms.
After walking about two or three rooms, Angel decided to give up. Each room here is very large, maybe used for different experiments. Anyway, it is not a suitable place.
However, this floor is not suitable, which does not mean that other floors are not suitable.
According to the results of Su Ling's exploration, there are three stairs leading down here. It only explored one shallowly. The other two are too deep, and the wind flowing inside is very thin. If it forcibly explores, it may attract the attention of the witch ghost inside.
The floor that Su Ling only explored briefly has small rooms and many compartments. Maybe a suitable place can be found there.
Thinking of this, Angel turned back to the circular hall, followed Su Ling's guidance, passed through the corridors, and found the first staircase.

This staircase is the one that Su Ling explored shallowly.
The stairs are of normal height, and soon, Angel saw the layout of the lower floor.
Not too big room, and three corridors leading to different directions, there is a room every other distance in the corridor.
It is worth mentioning that although many of these rooms have been destroyed and their original appearance cannot be seen, from some clues, Angel roughly guessed the function of these rooms.
"Imprisonment." Angel muttered to himself in a low voice.
These rooms should be places where people are imprisoned.
Angel had previously speculated that the fifth and sixth floors were so tightly sealed, could they be temporary prisons for those criminals?
Now it seems that this speculation may not be wrong.
It's just that... the lower floor is a prison and the upper floor is a laboratory. This design gave Angel some bad ideas in his mind.
Have large-scale live experiments been conducted here?
Angel narrowed his eyes and didn't think about it further. Or rather, he didn't dare to think about it in detail.
Although Angel still doesn't know the specific reasons for the decline of Naraku City, it seems that Naraku City will definitely not be completely innocent.
There are many secrets here, and the water is very deep. Angel is not going to explore in depth... Even if he really wants to check, he will go to the projection of Naraku City in the Nightmare Realm to check.
After all, there are still old monsters alive here. For example, the wise master mentioned by Zhu.
This is just the ladder of the suspended prison. An official institution of Naraku City has an old monster who has lived for ten thousand years, not to mention other places.
Perhaps, there are more old monsters here.
They watched the decline and plunder of this place coldly, but they were indifferent and never left... Just thinking about it made me sweat coldly. This was wrong, very wrong.
Angel exhaled deeply and suppressed the sudden panic in his heart.
Then, he didn't think about anything else and walked quickly between the prisons.
What happened here, what secrets were there in the past, he didn't want to know now. The only thing he had to do now was to find a suitable place for Ermi to sense the state of shadow fusion...
Soon, this layer of prison was searched by Angel. There was a compartment with six witch ghosts hanging upside down on the ceiling for "cultivation".
This was the most suitable position Angel found.
But there are two things to note. First, there are witch ghosts wandering in the compartments on both sides of this compartment and in the corridor outside. Once the final battle begins, it may alarm the witch ghosts outside. Since the witch ghosts can transmit information through shadows, they may instantly make the witch ghosts on this floor notice them.
Second, Ermi is performing shadow fusion for the first time, and he has to fight with six witch ghosts. Is it too much? Will he bear too much redundant information, resulting in hidden dangers?
The best choice is two or three witch ghosts.
Based on the above two points, Angel temporarily gave up this compartment. But it was only a temporary abandonment.
He guessed that the other two staircases that Su Ling had not explored might lead to similar prisons. Go to other prisons to have a look. If there is really no suitable one, then go back.
As for continuing to explore the stairs under the corner, or going back to the dark alley before, Angel is no longer going to do it.
He has been away for almost five minutes now. Although the time is not too long, he does not want to delay too long because of a small matter.
Now there are still two staircases to go, and those two speed spirits have not explored in depth, but it doesn't matter, as long as you know where the location is.
Because you don't know the situation on both sides, it doesn't matter which one you go, so in order to save time, Angel chose a staircase that is close.
As soon as he went down this staircase, Angel vaguely felt a different atmosphere.
This staircase... seems very long?
Also, the smell of Wumu ghosts in this staircase is very faint.
There are not too many scratches and signs of damage on the walls on both sides of the stairs, which seems to mean that there may be fewer Wumu ghosts here?
This is good news.
If there are fewer Wumu ghosts, then it will be easier for them to fight or leave in the end.
Moreover, if the place below is still a prison, it must be a relatively closed space. Put a blockade array at the entrance of the stairs, or directly cover it with an illusion. Even if these Wumu ghosts make a fuss, they should not affect the Wumu ghosts outside.
With this idea, Angel walked down quickly.
Ten seconds later, Angel landed and saw the familiar "prison manager" room. It was still very dilapidated, but compared with other places, the tables and chairs in this room still existed, which also showed that there were really few Wumu ghosts here.
In addition, the difference between here and before is that there is only one corridor here.
Moreover, this corridor is a dead end with a wall at the end. If you want to leave, you can only return the same way.
If this is still a prison, then the "prisoners" that were once imprisoned here are probably much more important than those in the other prison.
This can be seen from the layout and size of the cells.
The cells here are obviously larger, and the materials used for the prison doors are relatively good. Angell saw from a distance that he found several cells whose doors had not been completely destroyed.
With anticipation, Angell walked into the corridor.
Walking into the first prison gave Angell a surprise. There were five witch ghosts coiled in a circle.
Although the number is still large, this location is good, close to the stairs, as long as the goal is achieved, you can quickly withdraw and leave.
Angell quickly forgot the cell with six witch ghosts before, and gave the first place in his heart to this cell.
However, Angell did not let Ermi act immediately. Since he came to this prison, he continued to walk forward. Anyway, this corridor is not long, and you can see the end at a glance. Maybe there are better options in other rooms.
Facts have proved that Angell's ideas are sometimes not extravagant.
Avoiding the Wumu ghosts wandering in the corridor, Angel walked all the way inside, and soon, he saw a room with only two Wumu ghosts practicing.
In terms of the number of people, this is better than the previous one with five Wumu ghosts!
It's just a little regrettable that there are also two Wumu ghosts in another cell opposite this cell, and these two Wumu ghosts are not in the state of practice.
If these two are also in the state of practice, it will be perfect. Just pick one and you can start.
But now, from the order, Angel still prefers the first cell.
Shaking his head, Angel continued to walk forward for a distance, and he could already see the wall at the end of the corridor. It can be seen that he has come to the second half of the cell.
Unfortunately, he still didn't find a better cell than the first one.
Just as Angel sighed slightly, suddenly, a faint fragrance floated from not far away...
