Chapter 376 Obstacles one after another
It was already past three in the morning when the scientific trio finished their break.
"Go ahead and see if we can figure out the situation before 7 o'clock." Sister Xu stood up first. "It would be better if the signal could be restored, so as not to bother others to come and get us."
Lin Fan then remembered that they had registered before departure. If there was no information report within 24 hours, the institute would send other teams. Come to the rescue.
Although there are constant dangers along the way, judging from the current situation, it seems to be okay and not to the point of needing rescue.
John Woo and Lin Fan had looked around just now and couldn't find the mechanism to open the door.
I thought that Sister Xu’s observation angle was different and she could find problems with the agency that they couldn’t see, but in the end she didn’t.
The wish to use the mechanism to easily open the door was shattered.
So Xingchen went out again and opened the door with brute force.
Wu Yusen helped Lin Fan carry things and stood in the passage with Sister Xu.
Sister Xu put on a shield to prevent any poisonous gas from coming out after the door was broken down.
If an unexpected situation occurs, Xingchen will carry him if he can, and if he can't, he will run away with him. She held the sealing talisman in her hand, ready to issue it at any time.
Resist hard? What doesn’t exist has not yet reached this point of life and death.
Go back and wait for the rescue to come. With more people, it’s easier to negotiate and everything will be easier to handle.
Sister Xu saw the stars for the first time. Although she had heard many rumors, she still felt a different shock and couldn't help but whistle loudly.
John Woo and Xingchen both turned to look at her, not expecting Sister Leng Ruxu to do such a thing.
"Leave me alone, you continue." Sister Xu shrugged with the same expression, as if the whistle just now had nothing to do with her.
I didn’t expect that the stupid fat girl back then would transform into what she is now...
The process of breaking in was smoother than expected.
After Lin Fan had made the same mental preparation as before for Xue Ping's stone door, he shot in... and the door cracked.
Compared to the extremely hard stone door before, the door here was like tofu, breaking into pieces in just a few clicks.
There is nothing strange in the door. There is no water, no smoke, and there is not even a light-absorbing area. It is just like an ordinary door, only serving as a partition.
As a result, when Lin Fan took the coat from John Woo and put it on, he still felt a little unreal.
Sister Xu is still leading the way.
Lin Fan scabbarded his sword and walked behind her, while Wu Yusen took a step behind.
Not far away, I saw that the wide passage was blocked by rocks.
"Let me just say, there must be something wrong with that door being so big and so easy to open." Lin Fan complained to John Woo in a low voice, "It turns out it's blocked inside."
Wu Yusen glanced at her, embarrassed to say that for Xingchen's spear, there was basically no place that was not easy to shoot.
In fact, if Xingchen hadn't broken the door, he and Sister Xu would have had to wait for rescue before they could think of a solution.
Many times, Lin Fan seems to have a relatively clear understanding of Xingchen's strength, but sometimes it seems a little vague. IQ also fluctuates a bit.
He once discussed this issue with Jin Sichen and wondered whether the cell evolution process had reached the brain cells, but they were still unstable?
The rubble in front of me seems to have collapsed from above. Although the pressure is not very tight and there are many gaps, people will definitely not be able to get through.
No way, the stars have to come.
Lin Fan wondered if he should react to Quan Yingdong when he went back. Putting on and taking off the scabbard was a bit troublesome.
With a little effort, Xingchen easily opened up a passage again.
Lin Fan put his coat back on and buckled the belt of the scabbard as he walked. Before he let go of his hand, he raised his eyes... Well, the road was blocked again...
If she had known she would have returned unchanged just now...
Now, no matter how well she integrates with the stars, the pain of the mecha penetrating her body is still there every time she transforms and transforms back.
It may just be that you are used to it, and with the help of recovery ability, the pain is not as strong as it was at first, but it does still hurt.
Xingchen's body is relatively large. Although he is not afraid of being seen in this place, of course the more concealed the better during an investigation where the situation is unknown.
If there is something, a normal-sized person can still hide. A star is as big as a star and can shine. There is no way to hide. It is like a target.
Moreover, most of the time, the stars are indeed not used, and energy is wasted for no reason. Therefore, Lin Fan will only transform when he can use it, and when he doesn't need it, he will change back directly.
You can also take the opportunity to exercise your own abilities.
However, if she knew that it would change three times in such a short period of time, she might as well just come back unchanged.
Lin Fan resignedly took off the scabbard he had just fastened to his waist and handed it to John Woo, then turned to Sister Xu and said. "There are so many layers of cover, doors, and gravel. Is there really something very dangerous inside?"
"It looks like it." How could Sister Xu not see it? But we must advance when we need to.
After seeing Xingchen’s actual performance, her confidence is much stronger than before.
"Then if we just open it like this, will it cause very bad consequences?" Lin Fan hesitated in his steps.
I don’t know who set up so many mechanisms, traps, dangers, and shields just to prevent people from coming in and to prevent the things inside from getting out.
Doesn’t what they are doing now violate this person’s original intention?
"It's possible." Sister Xu's face remained unchanged, "It's just that in the past few months, the domain has only blocked signals and affected the thinking of insiders. Preliminary judgment that the things inside are not malicious It’s huge.”
If it’s something relatively evil, three months can be enough to cause a lot of bad effects.
It cannot be said that there is no grass growing, but at least the villagers are not happy every day, just gathering and entertaining underground.
Judging from the current results, apart from forgetting to contact the outside world, the villagers are still living a happy life.
If something really evil was sealed inside, Sister Xu felt that the impact would not be so light.
"It makes sense," Lin Fan nodded, "But the risk cannot be completely ruled out. What if it is because it has not been released and the power has not been fully released?"
"Well, I've thought about it, but the stones we broke can't cover up the effects you're worried about except for blocking the entry and exit of ordinary people." Sister Xu replied.
Just like those blocked signals and affected thoughts, they all happened before they came in or even destroyed the door.
"I speculate that there was something originally restricting the things below, but for some unknown reason, it started to fail three months ago, but it may not have completely failed." Sister Xu said. Then he showed Lin and Fan the golden prop between their fingers, a small metal chrysanthemum-like decoration.
"This is a good treasure given by Mr. Qian. It can deter and ban demons and ghosts at the level of great demons. Even Chitose-sama cannot withstand it without any precautions."
"Huh? Chitose-sama? That's not refining. The ancestor of the instrument group?" Lin Fan was stunned, and his thoughts suddenly went astray.
"You have just arrived and have never met Chitose-sama. It is normal that you don't know." Sister Xu smiled and said, "He is a thousand-year-old monster. So far, he is the most powerful monster known in this place. He's on the same level as Qian Lao."
"So Master Chitose always has no control over him," Wu Yusen added, "Originally, their demon clan advocates freedom of nature. If you don’t like to follow the rules, basically it’s good if you don’t cause trouble.”
“So, with this, our safety is still guaranteed.” Sister Xu looked at the magic weapon in her hand and smiled. Unless the being inside is more powerful than Chitose-sama.”
Lin Fan wanted to continue asking Chitose-sama about the topic, but when Sister Xu said her last words, her thoughts were pulled away again.
More powerful than a thousand-year-old monster?
Is it possible?
...Isn't it possible?
