Chapter 307 Incidents that Occurred in the Research Institute
With the help of the legendary Qin Rushi to resolve the erosion of the laws of the spell, the injuries on Ji Xun's body that originally required a lot of effort to suppress were all dealt with in a short time.
With their lives no longer in danger, the two began to search for clues in the central control room.
Thousands of years have passed, and the alchemy lamp on the wall of the room still shines brightly.
Each metal file cabinet is as good as new.
Ji Xun had noticed before that there was a crystal ball in the most conspicuous place in the room.
It looks like some kind of magic black technology.
Ji Xun guessed that this thing probably required permission to open.
It happened to be a coincidence that he had the [God Thief's Ring] in his hand, and Qin Ru was of Bai family blood.
The two of them met all the required permissions for this institute.
But after all, it was an instrument from thousands of years ago, so neither of them had much hope that it would work.
After some tinkering, I used the ring to gain permission, obtain bloodline certification, and get a few energy crystals to replace the stone powder in the energy tank.
I didn't expect that the magic device was actually triggered!
"Hey, it's still intact?"
Ji Xun looked at the crystal ball that slowly lit up. While amazed, he already guessed what it was.
Qin Rushi also found it very novel. This kind of ancient magic energy device cannot be seen now.
The two stared at the crystal ball, and patterns slowly appeared on it.
It was a green fluorescent thing like aquatic plants.
Qin Rushi hasn't understood what this picture is, but Ji Xun is very familiar with it: "Is this a real-time picture from the second floor of the research institute?"
It seems that I guessed correctly, this is a "visual crystal ball".
In other words, it is the monitor of this world.
With this reminder, Qin Rushi realized that those "fluorescent water plants" were the tentacles of the monster. But just because she recognized it, she glanced at Ji Xun even more surprised and said, "Did you survive the attack of this monster just now?"
Only when she saw the real thing did she realize how terrifying the Leech Emperor in Ji Xun's mouth just now was.
Just the size alone makes people take a breath when looking at it.
"Yeah. This monster is indeed quite tricky. It can break gangs, pierce armor, and suck blood."
Ji Xun nodded and introduced a few words briefly.
But now is not the time to talk about that.
He looked at the picture in the crystal ball, as if he had discovered something unusual, and his eyes gradually became serious.
Qin Rushi also discovered something at the same time and said, "Did those people from the Southern Continent escape? Or were they killed?"
Ji Xun also had a hint of doubt in his expression, and said, "He shouldn't have been killed."
The Leech Emperor can be seen in the crystal ball, but there is no trace of any battle.
It was obvious that not long had passed, and even if Heman's seventh-level enemies were defeated, their combined fighting power was very strong and they would never be killed so quickly.
A more reasonable explanation is,
Either they escaped;
Either they used some special relic to hide their whereabouts and avoid the Leech Emperor's attack perception.
His thoughts were rapidly deduced, and a flash of depth flashed in Ji Xun's eyes.
Suddenly, he looked at the wound on his chest that had not completely healed, and realized some deeper plans, and murmured to himself: "I see. This is what those guys in the Southern Continent have in mind."
Qin Rushi didn't follow his train of thought and cast a questioning look: "Huh?"
Ji Xun's eyes turned, and he had already repeatedly deduced the flash of inspiration in his mind.
There was a trace of determination on his face, and he explained: "If nothing else, I should have been 'marked'"
After saying this, Qin Rushi immediately understood what this meant and responded: "That seventh-level old woman is really good at marking and tracking. I was locked by her before and couldn't escape."
"Um."
This is exactly what Ji Xun means.
"Black Widow" Heather's spell just now was actually prepared with two hands.
If they kill themselves, they can take the opportunity to enter this central control room;
If not killed, the mark will be left as a backup.
But when he was marked by the enemy, instead of worrying, he had a bold plan in mind.
Ji Xun's lips slightly raised a scornful smile at the enemy, and he said to himself: "If nothing else happens, those guys should be waiting for me somewhere to help them lead the way."
Now it seems that Heman and the others have actually always had a way to escape from the second floor of the institute.
I had been holding on and not escaping before, just to find the "jar".
After all, their known information has confirmed that there are more than just them in this ruins.
There are also enemies of unknown origin.
Ji Xun felt that He Man and the others probably thought that they were the secret agents of the "arranger behind the scenes".
After all, he easily opened the door of this room in front of everyone just now.
Even if he is not an insider, he himself does not believe it.
Therefore, Heman and the others must be worried that the jar will be taken away quietly by others. Before, they could only fight hard.
But now, the prey has been marked.
There are better choices.
Pretending to retreat, wait until the "outsider" really gets the jar, then catch him off guard and reap the benefits.
Qin Ru was looking at Ji Xun's calm expression and guessed that he had a response plan, and asked: "So, what are you going to do?"
Ji Xundao: "I have carefully observed before that some of the people from the Holy See used cards that were suspected of being the 'Law of Space'. If those people have left the second floor of the research institute, there is a high probability that they have mastered it. Some kind of spatial law."
"Space spell?"
Qin Ru's face showed a hint of solemnity as he listened.
The law of space is a high-level law.
This ability is very tricky once you master it.
If it were a head-on collision, she felt that she might not even have a chance to escape.
But Ji Xun's expression was not so pessimistic.
He added: "But they have no ability to enter this room. That is to say, the prohibition rules of this room exceed their spatial displacement capabilities. There is a high probability that they do not know what is happening in this room now. So whether it is the Bai family Not even the people in the Southern Continent know of your existence, Aunt Qin. This is an advantage we can take advantage of."
"Um."
Qin Ru nodded.
Having said that, with her current strength and injuries, the situation is still not optimistic.
Before she could say anything, Ji Xun's eyes suddenly became sharp and he changed the subject: "I have a plan."
Hearing this, Qin Rushi actually guessed something and asked directly: "Are you planning to divert trouble to the east?"
There was an incomprehensible depth in Ji Xun's eyes, and he nodded: "Yes."
No matter whether the two of them faced the people from the Bai family or those from the Southern Continent, it seemed that they had no chance of winning at the moment.
The most ideal situation is that the two enemies fight to the death.
But neither party is stupid.
And the Bai family definitely doesn't want to face the people from the Southern Continent head-on.
Therefore, this requires a "fuse" to bring both parties together.
Just as it happened, Ji Xun was marked.
Once he walks out of this room, he will definitely be sensed.
Qin Ru thought of Ji Xun's plan, but his expression was not optimistic.
The plan doesn't sound difficult.
But the difficulty is the risk of execution.
Even if she thought that she would have no chance of survival if she went.
Qin Ru looked at Ji Xun and said bluntly: "But... that's very dangerous."
If you can't live.
There is no point in any plan.
Ji Xun shook his head, and an extremely confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "No. It looks dangerous, but in fact it is not. No matter who of them catches me, they will definitely be curious about the information on me. So I will definitely not be the first Time is being killed. And only by choosing this way will we have the best chance."
The more desperate the situation, the more excited the brain becomes, and the dozen selves in the mind are all helping to make plans.
He was in a very mysterious state at the moment.
The lines of the future that were deduced were clearly played out in his eyes just like the past.
That is a kind of certainty that has completely deduced the future development of the event line.
Thinking of something, Ji Xun added: "The fact that the Bai family can find this place means that their family has inherited some information about this research institute. Now that the sacrifices have begun, they have most likely found the [Ten Thousand Immortals Lamp] at this moment. If If we don’t do something, the opportunity will really be missed.”
"you"
Hearing this, Qin Ru looked at Ji Xun and hesitated for a moment, but couldn't say anything else.
As soon as the two communicated, she realized that Ji Xun had actually thought about everything.
He also thinks more carefully than himself.
Qin Rushi suddenly felt that the pressure was inexplicably lightened.
Although there is a big gap between the two, she admits from the bottom of her heart that this is a truly reliable teammate.
While Qin Ru was feeling happy and settled, she looked at Ji Xun and exclaimed: "The ability "I am the world" is really as tricky as the legend says."
She has never fought against the Light Chasers.
But now Ji Xun is experienced.
This kind of careful thinking ability predicts almost all possible situations in the future.
Before fighting, they already had some chances of winning.
In the crystal ball, the Leech King outside also stopped after losing his attack target.
It is still sucking nutrients from those corpses.
The central control room was very safe, and Ji Xun and Qin Rushi also had a moment of peace and rest.
The two of them were discussing the follow-up plan while rummaging through the information in the filing cabinets.
The science and technology civilization during the Talon Dynasty was very advanced, and even after thousands of years, everything in this room was well preserved.
Here, Ji found what he needed.
From those files, he knew what exactly happened in the institute.
"File number #001, the research institute contains a leaked special-grade contaminant. It involves a high-ranking outer god and is classified as SSS-level top secret. No one has independent access rights. Start trying to seal and contain it."
"File number #079, the third containment plan failed, confirmed to be high-level compound plague law pollution. Try to activate the backup plan, and use the 'Ten Thousand Immortals Lamp' to burn the power of the outer gods to weaken the pollution."
"File number #1089, a minor leakage accident occurred in the laboratory, the alien god attempted to escape due to contamination, level one alert, isolation and disinfection"
"File number #2213, the ghost watchers of Rune Highlands discovered the extinct mythical species 'Abyss Devil Leech Emperor'. This was a major surprise. We use the characteristics of monsters to absorb out-of-control plague pollution in organisms, effectively suppressing the spread of the disease, and also Let the experimental products survive longer; the record file is as follows."
"File number #2279, a related plague potion was initially researched and named 'Hope Potion'. However, the potion can only cure the plague to a certain extent, and cannot cut off the pollution. The alien gods cannot be killed, and our abilities cannot re-seal them. It will always exist."
"The psychics have come up with a new plan. Just like the immortals choose companion card masters, let humans become the carriers of the outer gods, and perhaps they can seal the pollution source in a limited number of years. Unfortunately, the probability of finding people who can withstand the pollution is very slim."
"File number # 3001, experiments confirm that the three-sequence professions of paladins, heroes, and plague doctors have strong resistance to pollution. Natural super antibodies to the disease were found in the experimental subjects."
"The research institute was attacked, and the central control room was automatically locked and the data was sealed."
"."
In the room, only the sound of "swish swish swish" of turning pages was heard.
The phantom of the clown appeared behind him, and his comprehension was blessed, and his brain was running to the extreme.
Ji Xun's eyes trembled frequently, and he changed lines quickly.
Wherever he looked, the lines of text on the files in front of him seemed to be copied in his mind.
These files were top secret even in the Bai family who had communicated with the gods thousands of years ago.
There were too many high-end secrets involved.
Ji Xun did not look at those obscure research materials.
More attention was paid to what had happened in the research institute.
Qin Rushi also looked aside slightly.
She originally wanted to help find the information.
But seeing this scene, Qin Rushi felt that there was no need for her to get involved.
This reading efficiency, which was ten times higher than her own, made her look at him with amazement.
But she didn't disturb him.
In order for Ji Xun to read more efficiently, she even helped to take out the information from the cabinets and neatly stacked it where Ji Xun could easily get it.
Ji Xun read dozens of lines at a glance, concentrating.
Soon, the information around him piled up like a small mountain.
He was sure that there was really a "pottery jar" in this [DP-955 Research Institute].
And the leech king outside was a monster used to filter the pollution leaked by the Lord of Plague.
However, compared with some expected intelligence,
Ji Xun was more concerned about the "words" captured in the details.
For example: the leech king was found by the soul-keeper in Rune Highlands.
He had heard of Rune Highlands before.
Ji Xun thought of the map he had obtained from "Valen City Rebel Camp" before, which pointed to a place with this name.
And the title of "wakeman" is also very special.
Only the top dignitaries will arrange professional watchmen to guard the family tombs for generations.
Judging from the various relics excavated in the Old Continent, there were a large number of dignitaries in the late Talen Dynasty, and there were also many large tombs.
It is not surprising that there are tombs in Rune Highlands.
Ji Xun looked at the line of handwriting and instinctively came up with a guess: "So. There is a very important tomb on Rune Highlands?"
This seems to be another broken message.
But Ji Xun thought of what Jia Yu said before: Any fragments in this world are meaningful.
Just like the porcelain fragments buried in the soil.
In the eyes of ordinary people, they are some useless fragments.
But in the eyes of historians, those broken porcelains are concrete symbols of countless information such as economy, technology, scientific and technological level, population distribution, climate, etc.
If there are enough fragments, you can see the historical truth buried by time without even seeing the whole picture.
Connecting a series of intelligence, Ji Xun suddenly had some guesses: "Could it be that the tomb of Augustus is in the Rune Highlands?"
This thought flashed through his mind.
Ji Xun remembered it in his mind.
For now, he has to focus on something else.
"No wonder Aragon's ancestors did not die after being infected with the plague. It turns out that the [Hero] sequence really has natural plague resistance."
"[Hope Potion] can solve more than 90% of the plague? In this way, it seems that the problem is not big."
"Use the human body as the seal carrier of the old gods? Hiss, how strong must the card master be to integrate the power of the old gods? Moreover, this plan has been almost completed? The ancestors of the Bai family are really amazing."
"."
As time went on, the information in Ji Xun's mind became clearer and clearer.
It was soon basically figured out what happened to this relic.
To put it simply, this secret research institute sent a can with a contaminated leak.
Then the Bai family began to study the sealing and treatment plan.
The experiment was conducted countless times over a long period of time.
In the end, due to some unknown accident, the control room was sealed and the files were suddenly cut off.
There is a lot of information in this central control room.
Ji Xun did not look at the research data that accounted for more than 90%.
It took nearly an hour to finish reading it.
No wonder they made such a special room.
It can be seen that the people of the Bai family also knew that the plague could not be stopped, and they wanted to preserve these precious research data.
"Huh"
Finally, Ji Xun finished reading the last piece of information and put it on his hand, and he also let out a long breath.
Looking at his relieved expression, Qin Rushi's eyes showed a hint of expectation.
She then spoke, curiously asking, "Did you find anything?"
Ji Xun's expression had completely relaxed, and he smiled brightly, responding, "This institute basically has no secrets for me anymore."
Qin Rushi: "Oh?"
Ji Xun accurately found a few drawings from the pile of information, pointed to the densely packed structural drawings, and said, "This is the design drawing of the institute. There is an emergency escape passage in it. We can leave the institute through this passage and avoid the Leech King outside."
Hearing this, a hint of surprise appeared on Qin Rushi's pretty face: "Can you go out?"
Although she has great fighting ability, she doesn't know everything.
Especially these clearly encrypted precise design drawings in front of me.
"Um."
Ji Xun nodded and said, "However, going out now is not a good choice. I plan to go to the third floor first."
That's right.
He had guessed before that in addition to the first and second floors, this research institute also had a third floor.
That’s where the jar is sealed!
I couldn't find how to get there before, but the design drawing of the research institute I just found pointed to a space more than a thousand meters underground.
After pondering for a moment, Ji Xun said: "If I guessed correctly, the Bai family should be there right now. And judging from the gathering situation of the Immortal family outside, the sacrifice process has been completed. They should be offering sacrifices at this time, Waiting for the approval of the Immortal Family. This is also the best opportunity."
Previously, Ji Xun was not sure how much time it would take for the Bai family to worship the immortal family.
But after Qin Rushi, an expert, explained it, what the Bai family wanted to do was no longer unknown in his eyes.
"."
Qin Ru's expression became serious after hearing this.
She knew that Ji Xun did this not only to prevent the Bai family from inheriting the inheritance.
The most important thing is that even if the two of them go out like this now, they will definitely be intercepted and killed by those in the Southern Continent.
Only by diverting the disaster eastward can there be a way out.
Thinking of this, she said decisively: "Okay! I'll go with you!"
Qin Ruzhi knew that this trip was dangerous.
But even if she narrowly escapes death, she will never let Ji Xun bear it alone.
Hearing this, Ji Xun shook his head and smiled mysteriously: "The Bai family's fox immortal Shanzhi leaked the news before, attracting people from the southern continent to surround you, Aunt Qin. Later, I must have known that you were rescued by others. I even guessed your hiding method based on the intelligence you left. If I appeared in front of them, they might not guess that you were parasitic in my body."
After taking a breath, he looked at Qin Rushu and said, "So, if you really want to go down with me, you will definitely be restricted."
Qin Ru frowned as he listened.
If you think about it carefully, this does make sense.
She now has a deeper and deeper understanding of the abilities of the God Thief Sequence, and she also understands more clearly that the Bai family's methods cannot be underestimated.
But,
If the secret embryo parasitism technique is not used, both the Bai family and those in the Southern Continent will find themselves.
If you really want to fight head-on, you will definitely not get any advantages.
She understood the truth, but she couldn't think of a better way, so she asked directly: "Then what should we do?"
The past few days during the Chinese New Year are even busier than working. I haven’t updated a little, but I’ll make up for it later.
