Chapter 1021 Colosseum
Dozens of surveillance screens were hung on the walls in the dark room. The ever-brightening screens emitted porcelain-cold white light, illuminating the dense snake-like entanglement of cables on the floor of the room. There was no place to stand on the computer chair among the cables, so he squatted down and held a bucket of KFC.
The man skillfully took the two ends of the chicken wings and gently twisted them, then pulled out the chicken bones. He dipped the remaining tender and pure meat in flour, deep-fried and dipped in a large amount of chili powder into his mouth to chew. Special chew.
On the wall full of screens in front of him, a screen in the middle showed a picture of the ice cellar "garden". It was originally an original zoological and botanical garden that was prosperous and full of green plants after careful reconstruction, but now it can be seen on the screen What we arrived at was a devastated ruin. The artificial light above our heads had been extinguished, replaced by a dark red warning light. Under the red sky was the ferocious land that had been plowed by shock waves and huge forces, as well as the land that had dried up after being burned by high temperatures. In the dark and scorched earth, large tracts of evergreen forest burned like torches, making a series of crackling and collapsing sounds.
Behind the man who was watching this scene silently, someone asked softly: "Aren't you worried that he really died in Yuanxu? After all, he was your teacher and one of your few old friends. .”
"I remember I made fun of Professor Schneider before." The man did not look back. He just picked up another chicken wing and pulled out the chicken bones in the same manner. "I said that if I heard about his death one day, he would definitely not die in the same place. He will not die in obscurity on the battlefield. He will definitely die dramatically on the hospital bed. On a sunny afternoon, his friends will gather around his bed to see him off, and the white doves will flutter outside the window. Wings rose and fell, and old friends lined up one by one to sit by the bed and talk about the good old days."
"This is the greatest betrayal to him and the ending he least wants to see." The blue fluorescent light projected EVA's appearance. She walked to the man's side and looked at the screen with him and said, "The monkeys have brought in the reinforcements." Already on the way."
On the surveillance screen, among the ruins of the garden, a figure ran quickly from a distance. The man mumbled something blurry in a low voice. The light blue fluorescence in EVA's eyes flowed, and the picture quickly pulled into high frequency to refresh the clarity. The last person reflected was Patsy Gattuso wearing a Florentine shirt and a light gray formal suit.
He ran a long distance from EVA's computer room to the Botanical Garden, but because the soil was too fertile and had been plowed over, it was easy to sink every time he stepped on it. As a result, his speed plummeted a lot after arriving at the Botanical Garden. Now, His footsteps stopped in the center of the screen, and his attention was attracted by an eye-catching red bloodstain on the ground not far away illuminated by a torch-like evergreen tree.
"He wasn't messing around in your computer room, was he?" The man grabbed the chicken wings and looked at the surveillance screen, examining the crime scene with only blood stains and no body. Patsy asked worriedly.
"That depends on your definition of promiscuity." EVA tilted her head and said.
"Like messing with your database? I hate people messing with my girl." The man gritted his teeth and spoke with a ferocious tone, but the way he grabbed the chicken wings in his hand made him look a little unseemly, as if he was being cruel. The fat guy smells of fierce color and tenderness.
"His purpose is very clear, to copy the files in the core storage area."
"He didn't succeed, did he? The white card authority in his hand should not be comparable to my super command." The man said with some uncertainty.
"I did use the super command to limit the white card's permissions as you requested, but in contrast, I needed to stop part of the system, which allowed the enemy to seize the opportunity to invade. But in fact, in the end, the super command It was not put to use, but the enemy's attack gave me a more appropriate reason to stop his copying work," EVA said.
"I fainted. It seems that the super command can't be used randomly. This time it was invaded by the enemy. I don't dare to think about what will happen next time." The man sighed.
"Actually, the enemy's invasion of the ice cellar is not a particularly serious matter. After all, this is not the first time it has happened."
"Hey, hey, hey, what the hell is going on with your ordinary tone? How come my girl's back garden can be accessed by anyone? Uh." Halfway through the man's words, he noticed that EVA was staring at him sideways. After a moment, Only then did he realize that he was mouth-watering, so he stuffed a chicken wing and a chicken wing into his mouth with one hand and shut up.
"According to the design, I will indeed not be hacked by anyone, but also according to the design and theory, it is not Norma or me who have been prone to vulnerabilities, but Cassel College itself." EVA said lightly. .
"Weapons are perfect, but are the people who use them full of flaws?" The man sighed, "EVA, give us some tolerance and time. Human beings are inherently flawed, so they rely on supercomputers. "
"I know, because I was once a human being." EVA said softly, "Actually, every time you ask me to help Lin Nian and Lu Mingfei to make things easier and open the back door, you are leaving flaws and loopholes one after another. This is also your flaw, but I still chose to help you, because my boy has always been full of flaws and loopholes. If he were perfect, you wouldn't be you."
"As expected of my girl, she really knows how to talk about love, but to be honest, are you secretly reading romance novels on the Internet behind my back?"
EVA didn't answer the question, and the man pursed his lips.
"We'll really be late if we don't leave." EVA glanced at the screen and saw that Patsy had disappeared. He moved along the blood-stained route and headed towards the majestic and huge artificial pyramid. "Professor Schneider said at the moment before the attack Although the triggered ice cellar defense counterattack system delayed a glimmer of hope for him, he was still seriously injured. Escaping into Yuanxu could indeed prolong his life in the hands of the enemy, but not for long."
"Is there any other fire counterattack system in Yuanxu that can help him hold on a little longer?" The man squatting on the chair ate the last piece of chicken wings, wiped off the grease and chili powder on his fingers, and casually twisted a piece of toilet paper to wipe it. Rub.
"There is no firepower system in Yuanxu, because the professors of the Alchemy Department and the Spiritual Department are worried that heavy firepower firing in Yuanxu may affect the huge and sophisticated alchemy system." EVA said, "Besides, the alchemy matrix has already It is the largest counterattack system in Yuanxu. You should know its effect, and Schneider also knows it, so he dragged his seriously injured body to escape further down."
"If you want to escape to heaven, you should first go to hell, just as it is above, just as it is below. This is the mantra that those magicians say every day. It seems that the situation is indeed urgent. Help me arrange the fastest elevator. I don’t want to be the last person to arrive on the stage.” The man grabbed the empty paper bucket from KFC’s Family Bucket, dug two holes in the paper bucket corresponding to his eyes, put it on his head, then stood up, but immediately sat down again He muttered, "Damn it, I put it on backwards."
After correcting the orientation of the empty paper bucket, the man with two eyes exposed from the KFC paper bucket looked at EVA, snapped his fingers and asked, "The disguise is done, how do I look?"
"People who know you can tell who you are at a glance, and people who don't know you will think you are a fool." EVA reached through the KFC paper bucket and touched his stubble-covered face, leaving a faint blue Color stardust.
"This is the effect we want! Because funny characters will always have the last laugh." The man jumped down from the chair, carefully tiptoed through the gap in the cables, and waited quietly for the elevator that had already opened in the distance. he.
"." EVA turned to look at the man who was walking in a minefield, not knowing what he was doing. These cables were not as fragile as imagined, and she wouldn't feel anything even if she stepped on them.
But smartly, she didn't ask the other party what he was doing, because based on the understanding between the two of them for so long, the other party would definitely reply in a mean manner, "You can't step on my girl's tail no matter what, right?"
icehouse
Passy followed the clear bloodstains all the way into the five-sided pyramid that looked solemn and majestic under the blood-red sky. The intermittent bloodstains in the corridors extending in all directions were the best signposts, leading him deeper. Inside the pyramid, we passed through a magnificent corridor surrounded by sphinxes, and arrived at the door of a secret room.
The blood trail stopped here. Percy glanced at the closed door of the secret room. The bronze door didn't look like it could be opened with brute force. He looked around and finally stopped at a wall. On the extinguished torch in the Sphinx's hand, there is a circle of fresh blood around the torch.
Passi tried to shake the torch of the stone statue. There was a dense sound of mechanical transmission inside the pyramid. The door of the secret room opened with a bang. New blood stains appeared inside, but there was no sign of anyone.
Patsy walked into the secret room. The door behind him slammed shut and the floor began to sink.
The blood stains on the lost floor only remained at the edge. It can be predicted that after entering the secret room, Schneider lost his strength and sat on the edge of the floor. After reaching the bottom floor, he used all his strength to slowly climb out.
It can be guessed that Schneider did not die immediately after being seriously injured, but bought enough time to escape. For some reason, he did not run towards the elevator leaving the ice cellar, but chose to reach Yuanxu at the lower level of the ice cellar, as if he was in the ice cellar. Push yourself to the end.
Percy didn't think that the enemy who attacked Schneider would just let the seriously injured prey escape. He should continue to follow the blood trail just like himself. Then this meant that when the door opened, what would be in front of him would be The scene of a recently successful murder.
Judging from Patsy's experience, this elevator should be a one-way elevator. This is the only way to lead to and leave Yuanxu. This means that from the moment the secret room reaches the underground, there will only be one living person. The person once again went back on the same path and left.
From this point of view, this is just like the iron cage leading to the ancient Roman Colosseum.
But Patsy was not afraid. This was not the first time he had stepped into such a one-way elevator.
Amid the sinking vibrations and roars, Patsy picked up the square towel on his chest and wiped the blood on his hands. After finishing everything, he lowered his eyes and held his breath to adjust his state. The external gentle aura all over his body disappeared in an instant. The bundle is close to nothing. Breathing, heartbeat, and even more subtle body surface features began to become inaudible.
In the silent darkness, this young man was ready to face the enemy. No matter when the cage reached the end, it would be a pacing lion or a flapping dragon occupying the arena.
His hands were slightly back, waiting silently for the secret room to reach its destination.
Finally, the secret room under his feet stopped sinking, and a huge black space appeared in front of Patsy. In an environment without lights, the darkness swept and engulfed him, and he also opened his eyes at the same moment, blazing. The bright golden pupils were like glass lamps, with golden flames dancing in them. The sheathed knife handle hidden in the cuffs slipped into his palm at the same moment.
One second, two seconds.
There was no sudden attack. Patsy was a little surprised, but didn't show it, so he walked out of the elevator shaft.
Walking into the darkness, he concentrated on listening to all the subtle sounds in the darkness. After a few steps, he noticed that the air was filled with toxic substances and decisively stopped breathing. His hearing was instantly amplified to dozens of times than usual. Even the slightest trace of the wind can be captured by him.
After walking about thirty to forty steps forward, Patsy suddenly stopped. He looked at the darkness to his right. He noticed a breath of wind and the sound of a hunting knife in his sleeve. The hilt of the knife was gently held, and further action was about to take place.
At this time, a spotlight hidden in the dome of the grotto made a buzzing sound, and the iron core in the inductive ballast made a "clicking" sound due to the oscillation of the start-up.
In the darkness, a dazzling white spotlight fell from the sky, penetrating the darkness like a sharp sword.
Patsy, who was about to make a move, stopped, followed the light and sound, turned his head and looked up at the dazzling light beam that was suddenly cast in the distance.
The slender and dazzling light pillar illuminated a large area of darkness, and also illuminated the figure in the center. It was a black shadow, standing in the center of the light pillar with its back to Patsy.
In front of the black shadow was a huge lake of mercury. The air was filled with highly toxic gaseous mercury, but she stood there quietly without any protective gear, looking up at the miraculous lake in the center of the mercury lake. A huge dark golden tree.
