Chapter 402 Scraping the Library
Seeing that the monster's size became more and more exaggerated, and it was irreversible to get out of trouble, Dean Mason's already old face darkened, and his energy suddenly weakened by three points.
He muttered to himself: "Herbert is my best friend, and I know that his research direction is the gene fusion of void mother worms. Exploring a direction that has never been studied by anyone will inevitably involve unpredictable risks. So When I found out that I couldn't kill his mutant, I had a premonition that there would be an uncontrollable situation. That's why I sealed the zero laboratory to prevent anyone from entering. I also erased all his existence in the academy, It’s just to prevent anyone from accessing the information. I didn’t think about it, but it was leaked.”
These words seem to be talking to himself, but it seems more like wanting to explain the truth to the people of the Imperial Capital Investigation Team.
Su Lun could hear the deep helplessness and regret in this tone.
In the academy, as the dean, he can keep anyone away.
But they couldn't stop the investigation team who came with the imperial order.
I thought that I could avoid those troubles by bringing it myself, but I didn't want to be secretly arranged. From the beginning to the end, Major General Tatina's group did not tell him the real purpose, but directly sent someone to open the emergency device of the laboratory in secret.
Listening to Dean Mason's words, at this moment, all the plots are completely clear.
It turned out that the old man had never lied from beginning to end.
Su Lun also frowned, and said with emotion in his heart: "Sure enough, when you judge a person as a bad person preconceived, all your thinking and logic will help you make up for this point of view. See how his kindness has become a disguise, see His advice turned out to be hypocrisy”
He also felt that this time it was a long lesson, but fortunately the problem was not too big.
In other words, a "void invasion" that would have happened had occurred.
People like Mafa got the information and went directly to Lab Zero to release the monster. This is no different from the nature of those NPCs who released the monster before.
Su Lun reorganized all the clues again in his mind, and thought again: "However, at least I am not wrong, the 'main will' of this cursed space is that Herbert. Good thoughts. In order to finally break this cursed space, we still have to find a way from this guy."
He was very sure of this judgment.
The encryption method of the notebook I saw on the fourth floor of the library is very special. Only when words and patterns are connected together can the code be decrypted. If it is not for me, even someone who has read it may be able to write down the text, but it is absolutely impossible to write down all the details.
Moreover, it was identified just now that there are some other information about the [Bidirectional Worm], and there are obviously details that can be dug deeper.
Su Lun thought of this, and he felt that the "T11" area that Tatyna kept mentioning seemed to be a key place.
However, he doesn't know enough about the structure of this underground laboratory, so it's a big problem to look for it blindly.
Su Lun looked at the group of Mafa.
In their hands, they happen to have the information they lack.
The so-called "big disaster" is nothing more than triggering the void invasion.
But for foreign adventurers like Su Lun, the problem is not a big deal, and there is no burden on their hearts.
After all, this is a cursed space, and there will be no destruction of the world. So no matter what people like Mafa want permission to do, they can't change some facts that have happened in history, for example: this "Toxter Void Royal Academy of Alchemy" has been destroyed.
Su Lun didn't know the final outcome, but in history, the space channel was successfully blocked without destroying the plane.
In other words, Dean Mason can at least cover the bottom line.
The premise is that people like Mafa don't help.
At this moment, looking at the [Void Two-Way Insect] that suddenly appeared, Mafa and the others were obviously confused.
Seeing their astonished expressions, Su Lun obviously didn't know that there was such a terrifying monster here, and he didn't expect that the "Void Invasion" was caused by them releasing this monster.
Now the facts are clear. The information in the hands of the head of the investigation team is the misleading information that "Herbert Hiberle" deliberately leaked out after being distorted into weirdness. There must be some inductive clues in it, making them deliberately avoid the academy and come to find something.
But in the same way, inductive clues must require "bait".
That's why Su Lun felt that there should be enough attractive things in the "T11 Experimental Area" to make people like Mafa take these risky behaviors.
There are thousands of thoughts in my head, but they pass in a flash in reality.
The sketch-like [Void Two-way Insect] condensed into a slime monster, and the "black lines" around its body also flowed on the ground.
And then, a strange scene happened quietly.
No matter what those black caterpillar-like lines touch anything, those things will be melted instantly as if they fell into strong acid, as if they were "eaten" by monsters.
Su Lun himself was proficient in the laws of space. He could clearly perceive that the monster had fluctuations in the laws of space like a "black hole", and even light was directly sucked into it.
The touched object does not disappear, but is reduced from a "three-dimensional" state to a "two-dimensional". It became like a pattern in an oil painting, blending into the black lines on the monster's body.
Not just objects, but real people.
The place where [Void Two-Way Insect] appeared happened to be in the distance of this laboratory, where more than a dozen slave adventurers happened to be scrambling for treasures. Before they had time to react, black lines appeared under their feet without warning. When they found out, their feet had been glued to the spot and they couldn't move at all. Then the whole person became shorter rapidly, and the whole person "melted" from the legs.
They were still alive and struggling hard, but their feet seemed to be stuck in a quagmire. The more they struggled, the deeper they sank, and they could only watch their bodies disappear.
Where have these people seen such a terrifying scene? Although they didn't feel any pain, they screamed wildly in horror.
"Help! I don't want to die!"
"Major General, please help me!"
"Who of you kill this monster quickly, save"
"."
Before the words fell, the dozen or so people had completely disappeared.
The black line was still spreading, and not far away, the slaves quickly dropped the things in their hands, and while retreating violently, they raised their guns and fired at the monster in bursts of "sudden", "sudden", "sudden". Someone even sparked a man rocket past.
However, an even more terrifying scene appeared that sent chills down the spine.
Countless bullets and rockets flew over, but the moment they touched the monster's body, the movement stopped abruptly.
When the bullet hits the water, there will be at least a little splash. But when it hit the monster, not to mention the blood, except for some black spots, it didn't cause any damage at all.
Seeing this scene, Su Lun quietly hid far away, but reassessed the risk in his heart: "This [Void Two-Direction Force] is really incomprehensible, and it is almost certain to die if it is contaminated."
The Eye of Omniscience observed every detail of the monster, and came to the conclusion that as long as the comprehension of the law of space is not higher than it, once it is infected with dimensionality reduction, it is impossible to survive.
Fortunately, the spreading speed of the "black line" is not particularly fast, which can be regarded as a shortcoming.
But isn't this confined space just the killing field for this monster?
Su Lun was not in a hurry to go out, because Mafa and his fellows were definitely more panicked than him.
This weirdness was revealed a little, and Mafa and the group of mechanical warriors were stunned.
They just used the [Microparticle Energy Arc Gun] to disperse the energy particles in the laboratory, in order to prevent the condensation of magic spells, so that the combat power of the mechanical warriors can be maximized.
Well now, all physical attacks seem to be useless against monsters.
But it seems that this monster is injured by the law system.
Moreover, the door of the laboratory was closed by them.
This kind of emergency door is easy to close, but it takes time to open it.
Fortunately, Dean Mason is strong enough.
He probably thought that this was a member of the investigation team of the Imperial Capital. Even if he made a mistake, now is not the time to pursue it.
Regardless of previous suspicions, he did not blame Mafa and his group any longer, and immediately entered a fighting state.
He pinched Warlock Seal, but frowned slightly.
The spell, which was originally performed in one shot, froze for two seconds, obviously affected by the [micro particle gun].
Fortunately, it was released.
"Void Profound Truth Four Elephant Cube!"
The moment the nine-pointed star array lit up under the old man's feet, a translucent cubic space barrier appeared in his hand, covering the monster inside.
The warlock seal changed again, and he pushed forward with the cross-shaped handprint of both hands: "Secret technique, space turbulence strangling technique!"
Looking at it again, the mud-like [Void Two-way Insect] was trapped on the spot, as if it had been frozen into an ice cube. Before it had time to react, its body was torn into pieces by the cracks that suddenly appeared in countless spaces, like lumps of minced meat falling to the ground.
Su Lun looked at these two space spells that were originally at least eighth-level, and exclaimed in his heart: "It's so powerful!"
The first technique is the advanced technique of [Void Imprisonment] that Su Lun is learning now, and it is almost impossible to escape if you control it; and the second space turbulence is probably equivalent to using a black scythe to cut out continuously. One hundred and eighty knives. One control, one kill, this combination of spells can definitely instantly kill most professionals of the same level.
The fighting power of top spatial ability professionals is indeed terrifying.
Killed?
No, obviously not.
The moment he shot, the old dean seemed to know the outcome. His face changed suddenly, and he shouted anxiously at the investigation team: "This monster is stronger than it was a few years ago, and it cannot be killed at all. You should find a way to leave quickly! If you can go out, report the situation here to the empire!"
This old man doesn't say anything else, he clearly distinguishes between public and private, which is really admirable.
As soon as the old man said this, he saw that the [Void Two-Way Worm] that had been hacked into pieces just now condensed into the shape of a mud monster again. But at the same time, the door of the laboratory hadn't been opened yet, and the panicked cry for help came from the crowd again, "Be careful where you step, the monster is coming!"
After this voice, everyone saw that black line had appeared under everyone's feet.
This time, in addition to dozens of slaves, more than a dozen mechanical warriors were "glued" to the spot by the black thread.
The strength of the mechanical armor is so great, but it still can't break free at all. They can only watch helplessly as they are devoured by the monster's dimensionality reduction. Others dare not pull it. Even if it is ejected and grabbed by a mechanical arm, it will have no effect at all.
The guns on the armor of this group of trapped mechanical warriors fired at the monster, but still did not cause the slightest damage.
The defensive advantage of the mechanical armor was not brought into play at all, and this dimensionality reduction ability directly bypassed the thick armor, killing them all with dimensionality reduction.
The only one left alive was a very determined slave. Seeing that his feet were caught in the black line, he raised his sword and cut off his feet to the knees, and then took off with the help of his winged suit, only to recover half of his life.
Su Lun looked at this scene with a serious expression on his face.
Although he discovered the spatial fluctuations a moment in advance, he had to admit that the attack of the [two-way worm] was very subtle. If its "black lines" covered the lab floor, everyone would die.
"Monsters are immune to attacks in the house, use magic devices!"
"yes!"
Now those people in Marfa are also aware of the critical situation, they put away the physical attack methods such as guns and ship-chopping knives, and activated the magic energy device on the armor.
All of a sudden, flames, frost, lightning strikes, holy light... all kinds of elemental attacks greeted the monster, and the colorful light in the laboratory flickered like a boiling pot of elemental magic.
With the old dean's full delay, the spread of the monster is not fast.
At this moment, the heavy emergency door of the laboratory slowly opened.
Su Lun originally planned to blend in with the crowd and teleport out, but from the corner of his eye, he saw that Major General Tatiana, who was already in full armor, did not leave.
Even at this juncture, she still yelled at the old dean: "Your Excellency, please give me the authority, I will find a way to prevent this disaster!"
Although his tone was much more polite than before, he still insisted on the "authority".
Su Lun's thoughts became active when he heard his eyes roll.
Although he doesn't know the woman's intentions, what the enemy wants to do is what he wants to stop.
Hearing this, the old dean had a flash of thought in his eyes, but he seemed to have made a decision immediately.
He had to hold back this [two-way worm] and couldn't get out, and it was just right to have people from the "investigation team" help, so he responded decisively: "Okay, take it, remember to close the inner void channel first, Absolutely don’t let void monsters invade the plane!”
As he spoke, the old man threw out an item.
[The Forbidden Clockwork of the Void Channel]
Detailed Explanation: The key that can control the restriction of the void channel requires special permission to use. Twist the alchemy clockwork, the space within the range will be reinforced, unable to be affected by space fluctuations, immune to space cracks, teleport close to the body, and can pass through various restrictions of the plane channel. The method of use is as follows, pouring spiritual power and twisting clockwise requires a lot of spiritual power and time;
"Key? So it's here to pay attention!"
When Su Lun saw him taking out something, his pupils shrank suddenly.
He immediately identified what it was, and shouted loudly: "Don't give it to them!"
Although Su Lun didn't want to be exposed at this juncture, he teleported there decisively.
And he also knew that if he didn't shout this voice, it would be impossible to snatch something in front of such a top space professional!
Sure enough, when Dean Mason heard Su Lun's words, he grabbed Void, and the thrown object reappeared in his hand.
The old man looked at Su Lun who suddenly appeared in surprise, and obviously recognized him as the secret investigator who went to the fourth floor of the library.
But I am also very puzzled, how could the members of the investigation team have internal strife?
Major General Tatina was overjoyed when she saw what she had already got. As long as she could get that thing, not to mention saving her life, she might even have a chance to break the cursed space.
Even if it doesn't work this time, it will work next time!
But looking at a stranger who suddenly came out, Tatyna's heart sank suddenly, and the voice trembled a little, "Who are you?!"
The adventure group is full of people and slaves from the North Sea Fleet, and they will never show up to make trouble at this juncture.
The only possibility is the spies of hostile forces.
Moreover, looking at the [teleportation] ability, she immediately thought of an old acquaintance who made her gnash her teeth. Naturally, it was the hateful guy who intercepted and killed the submarine!
While speaking, she waved the long red whip in her hand, and "cracked" the whip into the air.
If Su Lun hadn't reacted quickly enough, the whip might have killed him half of his life.
Some words beyond the cognition of the NPC in the cursed space will be blocked automatically, but Su Lun did not hesitate, and shouted at Dean Mason very fast: "They intercepted and killed Captain Markle and wanted to destroy the plane channel! "
As soon as Su Lun punched out, all the plans of Mafa and his group were smashed to pieces.
Markle was the former NPC leader, and it was a fact that they intercepted and killed them, but at this juncture, they couldn't explain it clearly anyway.
Moreover, the actions of releasing the monster before gave the old dean a very bad impression.
The hearts of Mafa and his group are ashamed. Now they have to face not only the monster, but also the old dean. No matter what, they have no chance of winning.
But now the void invasion has just begun, and the monsters are not too dense. If they give it a go, they may find other opportunities to get out alive.
Major General Tatina was also extremely decisive and cursed angrily, "Damn it, let's go!"
With these key clues in hand, as long as they can survive, they can almost break this cursed space the next time they come in.
With that said, this group of mechanical warriors filed out.
As soon as they went out, there was a huge explosion sound in the passage, and the air waves shook the sky, and there was no chance for anyone to rush out with them.
Even the laboratory door that had been opened was immediately closed again.
Su Lun was not surprised, these people would never let him leave the laboratory safely.
But since he was exposed, he would never let these mechanical warriors live.
What's more, he still needs the information in the woman's hand.
At the beginning of the void invasion, a large amount of void energy poured into the plane channel, like a mountain torrent exceeding the safety line of the reservoir, and the space channel gradually became unstable.
However, it is also good for professionals who have mastered the space ability.
At this moment, Dean Mason's spellcasting efficiency was significantly higher. He trapped and strangled the [two-way worm] many times, but he still couldn't kill it.
As soon as Mafa's people left, Su Lun also asked the same question, "Dean Mason, can you give me the key?"
Dean Mason had a gloomy face and did not respond directly. The members of the imperial investigation team have completely lost his trust, and they just said: "I can't re-seal it anymore. The disaster that will be brought this time may be very bad."
Su Lun guessed what he was thinking, and knew that the old man would never trust anyone easily again. Without hesitation, he just said: "Your Excellency, Dean, take care!"
With that said, he took out the chessboard and placed it on the authority identification restriction that had been identified long ago.
The next moment, the sealed laboratory door slowly opened.
Before the laboratory door was fully opened, Warlock Suren pinched a black hole in his hand, and sternly said to the group of slaves who hadn't had time to escape before: "If you want to live, go in!"
These war slaves are not evil people, and their strength is not weak. Many people in the dawn group have such identities.
If Su Lun thought he could help, he would do so.
Those slaves obviously didn't have much trust in a stranger, and poking a black hole with bare hands was too unimaginable for normal people. It is better to fight for yourself than to give your life to others.
Therefore, most of the three to five hundred slaves scrambling to get out of the laboratory door, only half of them believed in Su Lun and rushed into the small void.
Putting away these people, Su Lun didn't hesitate any longer, and rushed out towards the passage outside the laboratory.
He was not in a hurry to negotiate with the old man.
Judging from the information obtained from the previous exploration of other cursed spaces by the North Sea Fleet, the dean has persisted in the plane channel for at least three days, and it is impossible to lose in a short period of time.
Now the old man's fighting power is still at its peak, and so is the monster.
Even if you want to participate, you have to wait until both sides are exhausted in the boss fight before you can take advantage of it.
Before that, Su Lun decided to get the "guaranteed harvest" that came to curse the space first.
The group of slaves who ran out followed the passage they had come back to, and there were explosions in the passage.
When the guys from Mafa retreated, they also set up booby traps, which also caused heavy casualties to those who went out behind.
However, Su Lun had no effect. His current space ability has been greatly improved, and he teleported all the way out of the zero laboratory.
When we came to the ground, there was already a big battle here.
Countless void monsters poured out from the depths of the plane passage.
Various void zergs as small as mosquitoes, large void winged bats with a wingspan of hundreds of meters, void big eyes, and void pythons.
They gathered together, like locusts crossing the border, with hundreds of millions of them densely packed into the eyes.
It was also the first time for Su Lun to see such a terrifying wave of monsters, and his scalp was numb.
The teachers and students in the plane channel have already started to block. There are various defensive restrictions in the passage, and there are also powerful alchemy towers and magic cannons set up in those laboratories, in order to prevent monsters from invading.
Immediately after the "Void Invasion", all kinds of powerful alchemy equipment had been activated, and various high-level spells were thrown into the void as if they didn't need money.
Boom, boom, boom
It was like the movement of the end of the world, as if it was going to break the plane apart.
Bursts of brilliant colors erupted from the crowd of monsters, and corpses fell like a torrential rain.
But even so, the number of void monsters has not decreased in the slightest, but has increased.
As soon as Su Lun came out, hundreds of [Void Scythe Mantis] rushed over him. These praying mantises, which are only half a meter tall, may not even have the energy fluctuations of a first-order magical beast, but their number is astonishing. These Void Zerg with the talent [Flash] flicker and flicker in the void very fast, it is difficult to catch the movement, and the attack methods are also hard to guard against.
Su Lun untied the eight-armed spider spear, hacked at the black sickle in his hand, and pulled the cutting thread to harvest these insects in pieces.
The defense of these low-level void creatures is very weak, almost like paper, very easy to kill. But their attacks were also sharp. Su Lun arranged the weird dolls around his body and just after a few fights, they were cut into pieces of rotten wood by the sharp Void Scythes of those bugs.
The tide of monsters has come, and there are more and more high-level void monsters behind.
Su Lun didn't dare to delay in the slightest. He rushed towards the small space gate building on the fourth floor of the library.
On the way, I also saw Mafa's group of mechanical warriors forming a charge formation, rushing towards the exit.
Because they are very powerful and fast.
Seeing this, Su Lun also understood why the Stiga princess was willing to send her mechanical warrior guards in.
Punishment for losing battles is one.
There is another more important reason, and that is that mechanical warriors are less likely to cause space cracks than traditional professionals.
Now that the void is invading, the space channel is very unstable.
The huge energy fluctuations fought by high-level professionals will lead to cracks more and more easily.
The physical attacks of the vast majority of mechanical warriors are driven by steam boilers, and the physical energy is negligible, so the probability of triggering cracks at certain law levels is much smaller; and their artillery explodes remotely, even if the energy overload triggers a space attack. The cracks can't hurt the body of the mech.
But Su Lun didn't think these guys could escape.
Because the college's emergency plan is that once the void invades, the exit will be blocked immediately!
Thinking of this, Su Lun ignored these people for the time being.
The combat effectiveness of the mechanical warriors of the Marfa Royal Legion is not for display. Originally, Su Lun alone could do nothing to them. Even if all members of the Dawn Regiment were mobilized, it would be very difficult to confront this mechanical army head-on, at least the loss would be considerable.
Now there are endless void monsters to help consume, which also saves Su Lun's effort.
Wait for them to run out of ammunition, and then come out to pick up bargains later.
Su Lun rushed all the way, and soon came to the balcony of the small building before.
He took out the chessboard, opened the space door smoothly, and stepped into the fourth floor of the luxuriously decorated library in one step.
Looking at the dazzling collection of precious books and treasures, Su Lun's eyes sparkled.
I didn't dare to collect it before because I was afraid that others would stop it. Now the dean is trapped in the zero laboratory, and the administrators are fighting outside, probably no one can stop him.
Thinking about it, he raised his hand and released dozens of Liming members who had already prepared empty storage rings. Let's help together and quickly collect the treasures on the fourth floor of the library.
With these things in hand, even if there is no other gain, it is worthwhile to venture into the cursed space this time.
