Chapter 2431 The Ominous Behind the Door
Observe that there is no one in Area D.
To be precise, there should be no living or dead things.
There is only a cold darkness and a bunch of cold machines, if those ecological tubes can be called machines.
That's right, under the cold candlelight of [Qingxing Lantern], in the eyes of everyone, the observation area D, which is larger than the first three observation areas combined, only has a total of 150 ecological tubes. Moreover, they are all severely damaged, and it is obvious that some kind of creature has exerted a force far beyond its impact resistance level from the inside.
By the way, the so-called [Observation Area D] is a temporary name given to this space by Pei Xi based on the on-site conditions. In fact, starting from the three areas in front, there was a lot of damage to the surrounding environment, and those replaceable signboards had already been It has become part of the ruins, but whether it is the previous restaurant or dormitory, it can be changed by Pexi from various Clues can be detected and functions can be deduced from the details, and the same is naturally true here——
Although the space is extremely wide, those ecological tubes have almost made it clear that this is another observation area, plus the people who were there before Since we have already passed through three observation areas A, B, and C, of course this can only be [Observation Area D].
Compared with the previous three observation areas with either humane or inhumane styles, the biggest difference between D area is that the equipment here can basically be considered to be destroyed corresponding to the 'subjects'. On this basis, Based on the mess here and the first two areas that were almost turned into ruins, Pexi made a very reliable inference.
That is - those beings who were originally supposed to be contained in Area D, but who had obviously successfully 'escaped', were the ones who encountered a large number of staff of this facility in the transit hall and completed super-godlike killings. The culprit.
“Not only that…”
Pexi stared at the ruins of the eco-tube in front of him that had been completely twisted, as if it had just been hit by a ballistic missile, and said softly: "Those things that escaped from here are probably the culprits of the end of this research base, and they may even be... The core project here.”
Jadeka stroked his beard and asked: "This entire ruins was built for the purpose of observing the existence in Area D?"
"It is possible."
Pexy looked around and said lightly: " Although it has been completely destroyed, even if you only look at the area, this place is much larger than the previous three observation areas. Not only that, almost every inch of the ground here is scattered with a considerable density of metal and parts. If they all belong to this area before becoming this state, the light In terms of equipment scale, Area D also exceeds the total of the first three areas."
Everyone nodded, only Mo Tan frowned covertly, the reason was simple, he didn't like Peixi. Subconsciously calling those beings who escaped from here 'culprits'.
After all, based on the previous inferences, Mo Tan has already reached a preliminary conclusion in his heart -
First of all, this research facility should belong to a force, and according to the "Research Log" in the observation area A , this force is probably not Wanderer's Inn, Thieves Guild, Adventurer's Guild, Miracle City, Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce and other organizations, but is similar to the Violet Empire or the Holy Union, which is much larger in scale and has 'subjects' ' or the existence of 'believers'.
The 'volunteers' in the observation area A are legal citizens or devout believers who enjoy normal civil rights under the force. They have extremely high loyalty to the force, although they cannot be called blind. But there was a bit of fanaticism in it, and these volunteers did receive very humanitarian treatment. Not only were they not done anything excessive, they were even able to leave safely with their pay.
But when it comes to Areas B and C, the situation has undergone a dramatic change. They are also mainstream races such as humans, orcs, and elves, but the subjects in these two observation areas are different from those in Area A. The volunteers in the area are almost not treated as the same kind as the staff. The difference is even greater than the difference between the treatment of the same kind by humans and the treatment of mice. It is more like the crazy killing of NPCs before the popularity of spiritual virtual games. Game players don’t even regard each other as beings in the same dimension as themselves.
As for why an attributive was added, it is because in [The Bound of Innocence] and those mental virtual games that are far inferior to its quality, it is difficult for normal players to be so cruel, even if the other party They are not real people with flesh and blood, even if the opponent is not an AI with an independent personality, even if the opponent is just a code that looks like an intelligent creature, normal people cannot use such horrific and abominable methods against them.
Of course, Mo Tan was not surprised that there were no normal people among the staff of this facility. Although he was willing to embrace all the 'good' in human nature, this made him view the 'evil' side of human nature equally. Clarity, so it's clear how cheap 'humanity' is in many areas.
In short, Mo Tan did not choose the perspective of experts in Pessina's related fields, but determined the social status of this ancient ruins through his own observations. Not only that, he even described it in his mind It has become a force that is so arrogant that it seems that it no longer treats 'foreigners' as human beings.
It is a pity that although Mo Tan is considered knowledgeable, he is not a historian after all. It is difficult to accurately identify one or a few suspects in the well-documented history of "Innocence Boundary" for more than 9,000 years. object, and connect it with the relevant information that lingers in the depths of his mind but cannot be recalled no matter how hard he thinks about it.
He has thought about what he saw and experienced during the 'fragment'. After all, from the perspective of painting style, there is really no conflict with his 'that side'. , but after thinking briefly, Mo Tan himself denied this possibility, because based on his experience of nearly a year, not even a trace of the memory during the 'fragment' would be synchronized to his other three personalities until Today was no exception.
【So why...】
Mo Tan secretly gritted his teeth and looked around at the environment where he had no impression of anything but some inexplicable impressions. It was an environment full of contradictions. A layer of fine and hidden beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Are you okay?"
Next to him, Ji Xiaoge shook his wings, secretly touched the back of Mo Tan's hand with the back of his hand, and whispered: "Sister Xiaole said you He seemed a little uncomfortable from now on."
"Don't talk about me."
Mo Tan smiled and shook his head slightly: "The look on your face just now. Even worse.”
"Okay, how dare you say I'm ugly? I'll come back to settle the score with you!"
Ji Xiaoge smiled, and then felt relieved after confirming that his sweetheart's problem was not serious, and then turned his attention to Peixi raised her little hand gracefully: "Sister Peixi——"
Pexi nodded slightly and said concisely: "What's the matter?" "
"I think the person who escaped from here...well...whether he is a human or not, he shouldn't be considered the 'culprit', right? "
The winged beautiful girl looked at Peixi seriously and said sternly: "After all, no matter how you think about it, they are all victims. ”
Peixi was stunned for a moment, as if he was recalling when he had said the word 'culprit', and then said simply: "I'm sorry, there is indeed something wrong with my statement."
" I’m also sorry, maybe I was a little too serious.”
Ji Xiaoge scratched his hair in embarrassment, maybe because the environment here is much better than the previous two observation areas. She and Lu Jiang both looked more energetic than before.
As for Peixi, she still kept her poker face... that is, expressionless, and said calmly: "Now, I plan to evaluate the strength of those 'missing people', Ye Ge, can you Did the test show how strong this eco-tube is?"
Ji Xiaoge thought for a while and said with a somewhat sarcastic expression: "Well... I originally had it, but I lost my temper with my instructor before and threw the equipment away. Workshop.”
Peixi: "Huh?"
"It's just that I baked a few scallion pancakes before!"
Ji Xiaoge lowered his face and said a little coyly: "The result may be because of a little It was a bit tough, and the instructor insisted on testing it with the equipment. It turned out that the thing was so annoying that it actually gave me an A+ rating..."
Although he was knocked down by a beautiful girl's cooking once before, Largo, who didn't seem to have a long memory, asked curiously: "Although I'm not as professional as Pexi, an A+ rating should be very good. It tastes good, right?”
“If it tastes good, it’s really good.”
Ji Xiaoge looked at Largo expressionlessly and said dryly: "But what if it is an A+ level fortification?" Largo was shocked: "Wouldn't that be a piece of cake?"
Ji Xiaoge covered his face in pain: "Yes, it is a cake..."
Largo: "..."
" Well, it’s a very humorous cake.”
After making an inappropriate complaint, Pexi turned to look at Largo, and ordered in an unquestionable tone: "Go and test the strength of the eco-tube, use a hammer."
"Oh. "
Large, who was just about to ask himself how to test, was prejudged by the other party and nodded, and then walked to a tree. Although there was a big hole two people high in the front, the structure was relatively intact. In front of the ecological management system, hold your breath and concentrate, and punch out!
Boom——
With a loud noise, the place hit by Largo suddenly became shattered, leaving a hole as big as a casserole, but the Highlander's expression suddenly changed. became serious.
"Epic."
Without any hesitation, Largo immediately said to Pexi: "If you want to break these ecological tubes, you need to be at least a high-level peak level, but if you want to cause the consequences we see This kind of thing is almost blown to pieces from the middle, and the scope of damage is ridiculously large. I think it requires at least a semi-epic or even an epic level. Done.”
“Very good.”
This work was compiled and uploaded by Liujiu Bookstore~~
Peixi nodded, with a rare smile on his face. , a pleasing arc: "On behalf of myself, I would like to express my gratitude that we did not encounter more than a hundred crazy epic heroes."
Perhaps it was because the somewhat paralyzed team leader finally smiled. Except for Mo Tan, who had an increasingly foreboding feeling in his heart, everyone also laughed in the increasingly relaxed atmosphere.
"Please continue to stay attentive."
While reminding everyone not to relax their vigilance, Pexi gave routine instructions: "Well, considering that there does not seem to be any valuable information here Need to collect feedback, let's take a short break Five minutes, and then set off to the next area."
After that, she walked to the relatively complete wreckage of the ruins, which was about the size of a refrigerator, and dug out the same things as before. The tools jingled and jingled.
The others started to rest directly on the spot. Although there was no fighting along the way, it was still very energy-consuming to stay focused and force oneself to stay calm in front of extreme scenes.
Just like that, five minutes passed.
However, just when Peixi reluctantly left the scrapped piece of metal and returned to everyone to announce that she would move on——
“Sorry.”
Mo Tan suddenly stopped, took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I suggest we call it a day and explore the area ahead later."
Pei Xi casually pulled down his goggles, Asked briefly: "Reason?"
"There is no reason..."
Mo Tan sighed and said helplessly: "But I have an ominous premonition."
"That's it."
Pei Xi slightly Nodding, he then said calmly: "Unfortunately, Brother Mo, although I completely trust you, I am willing to believe in observation for an ambiguous reason. Those experimental subjects in Area B were not made by "human body refinement", which does not mean that I will change my planned plan for the same reason. Of course, if you can be more specific, the possibility of me being convinced is actually very high. "
Mo Tan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But I really can't be more specific."
"Then let us put aside those inexplicable 'inspirations' and continue to act under the guidance of reason, logic and planning."
Paich said this, and then turned to hold himself down Gu Xiaole on the shoulder: "How to say?"
"I also said before that I can feel something disturbing here, and until now, that None of these things appeared."
Gu Xiaole looked away and said with a subtle expression: "In other words, the further back we go, the higher the possibility of encountering an accident, so..."< br>
“So if we retreat for now, will the aura that makes you feel uneasy disappear tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or someday in the future?”
"I don't think... no."
"Then do you know that according to the feedback from the team that originally discovered the ancient ruins [Codename: Purple Night], it will enter an unstable stage starting tomorrow, and it may happen at any time An unexplained purple light erupted, and none of us can guarantee that the next unstable phase will affect us, this place, and [ Loya] What impact will it have?"
"..."
"Then, if you have no objections, let's go."
After saying this simply. , Pexi, accompanied by Largo, walked to the passage at the end of the 'Observation Area D' and skillfully raised his hand to pat the wall.
Once...
Twice...
"No!!"
At this moment, Mo Tan suddenly widened his eyes, and in the next moment, he used [Blast] Appeared directly behind Peixi, held her wrist tightly, preventing the latter from hitting the wall for the third time -
"You can't open the door, there may be the master behind this..."
Boom! ! !
However, just half a second before Mo Tan finished his words, there was a roar. Logically speaking, because the anti-accidental touch mechanism had to be activated three times before it could be opened, the gate was slowly opened like this!
Two dim purple lights lit up quietly in the depths of darkness.
