Chapter 402 The reversal of the plot
Dead people.
At the end of the team, a few unlucky guys were cut off by the unknown space artifact that suddenly appeared, and their scarlet intestines flowed all over the floor.
Others didn't know what happened, but Su Lun felt the subtle spatial fluctuations.
The moment the attack occurred, his omniscient eyes keenly captured the disappearing figure of the monster. It was a silver-level strange creature that looked like a skinned human being. It had a sickle-like tongue, and it was identified as [Void Abnormality, Sickletongued One].
This is a monster that has never appeared outside of intelligence.
This monster is very fast and is good at spatial teleportation. It is a fatal threat to third-level and fourth-level professionals. Killing a few low-level slaves will naturally be silent.
Su Lun had expected the attack, but he also had a doubtful thought in his mind: "It's strange, it wasn't the old dean who did it, but the weirdness in the laboratory itself?"
He had just identified that the [Silly Tongue] monster was the monster transformed by the scientific researchers who died in the experimental accident in "Laboratory Zero".
Su Lun felt that this should be an accident.
After a moment of panic, the crowd returned to calm.
After all, only a few slaves died, and no one cared about their life or death.
But the team also stopped. Everyone loaded their guns and showed a very alert look.
Dean Mason looked at the corpse, with a trace of sadness in his eyes, and persuaded: "Captain Tatina, I think it's best not to move forward. There are a lot of pollutants in this laboratory, and even I can't." Determine what is going on inside. If this continues, it may be very detrimental to the safety of everyone in the investigation team."
Upon hearing this, Major General Tatina was not moved at all and interrupted directly: "Keep going."
The loss of a few slaves was nothing to the major general of the Royal Mechanical Guard.
Seeing her resolute attitude, Dean Mason looked at the corpse on the ground again, shook his head and sighed, but couldn't say anything else.
The team continued to move deeper into the laboratory.
Someone started to die, which meant that more brutal killings might follow.
As Su Lun continued walking with the team, he kept a close eye on the old man's every move, feeling extremely alert in his heart.
Those monsters can't kill him. The only one currently posing a fatal threat is the old dean.
But thoughts were racing in his mind, and Su Lun suddenly felt that something was wrong.
He carefully observed Dean Mason's expression.
Logically speaking, since they want to find a place to kill people and silence them, they shouldn't persuade the investigation team to turn back.
"Is it a reverse operation? The more it is blocked, the more people want to find out what's going on deep in the laboratory?"
Su Lun felt that it should be so.
As the investigation team went down, they encountered monster attacks one after another, and more than ten people died.
But because they were prepared, the group of people also killed several monsters that sneaked up on them.
But overall, there's not much risk.
However, there are void pollutants in the environment, indicating the risk of distortion.
Gradually, Su Lun looked at the leader, Dean Mason, and felt more and more something was wrong: "We have gone so deep, so why is the old man still hesitating if he doesn't kill people and silence them?"
Now there are two key figures in this investigation team. One is Su, a person who has been to the fourth floor of the library, and the other is Major General Tatina who leads the team.
Su Lun felt that if he were the old dean, he would definitely try his best to kill these two people who were trying to get closer to the truth.
But there were several monsters killing people just now, and there should be good opportunities to fish in troubled waters, but the old dean didn't take any action.
This is very confusing.
Su Lun's intuition told him that there seemed to be something wrong with the plot he had deduced before.
It now appears that a laboratory accident did occur here.
What role did "Herbert Hilbery" play in the accident?
Although Su Lun was sure that he was still alive, where was this man now?
Just as thoughts were racing in his mind, Major General Tatina had ordered her deputy general to lead a small team of several hundred people to explore every corner of the laboratory.
Gunfire could be heard everywhere, and monsters were obviously encountered.
But it’s not too intense.
It shows that the monster is not too strong.
At this time, Su Lun suddenly realized something again and thought to herself: "Oh, that's not right. This woman's purpose is too strong, and her choices at multiple intersections did not show the hesitation and caution she should have. She seems to have known about the experiment in advance. The detailed structure of the room? ”
There are intricate tunnels in "Laboratory Zero", as well as many forks and space restrictions. There was no information at all in the North Sea Fleet before. Normally, when exploring an unknown and obviously dangerous area, it would be unwise to rush into separate groups to explore.
But she, a major general-level officer with rich combat experience, did this.
This is very strange.
"Did they get detailed information from the NPC, the leader of the investigation team?"
Su Lun felt that this was the only possibility.
At the same time, he was even more curious about what was written in the document in the hands of Major General Tatina that made her insist on coming to this "Laboratory Zero". What is she looking for?
At this time, the team probably arrived at the core area of this underground laboratory.
This is a huge space of several thousand square meters.
As soon as they entered the door, the first thing everyone saw was a variety of dense instruments, as well as void monster materials contained in glass vessels.
[Void Dragon Lice Skeleton (Silver)], [Black Flash Winged Dragon’s Demonic Muscle (Gold)], [Dragon Lice’s Black Demonic Skin (Dark Gold)], [Loco Valen Insect King’s Brain (Legendary)], [ Void Mantis' Thorny Scythe (Silver)].
The beam of the magic lamp shines through, and the various rare void materials contained in the glass vessels are at least silver quality, as well as gold, dark gold, and even legendary materials.
The curse properties of these things are very strong, they are definitely the best void materials for refining alchemical plant equipment, and their value is immeasurable.
Moreover, there are more supplies and materials in several places that are obviously material warehouses.
Although this core area is in a mess, it has obviously experienced a fierce battle, and there is a high probability that there are monsters hiding there. But this cannot dampen the excitement of these foreign treasure hunters at all.
Upon seeing these things, the people of the Royal Mechanical Corps could still keep quiet due to military discipline, but the hundreds of slaves rushed in like crazy and ecstatically.
"Hahaha, we got rich this time! With these materials, we can get enough points to escape from slavery."
"Grab it quickly! Whoever gets it belongs to whom!"
"I got this first! Whoever wants to snatch it from me will be beaten to death"
"."
The slaves have gone crazy and excitedly put all kinds of materials and treasures into the storage ring.
Large items that cannot be carried are carried on the back.
These high-quality materials can bring them freedom and great wealth if they are taken out almost casually. No one can stop their madness at this moment.
Not to mention the slaves who wanted to escape from slavery alive, even Su Lun felt jealous when he saw these things.
Materials are one thing, but there are also a lot of experimental data, materials, manuscripts, and detailed reports of research projects that are of inestimable value.
But while others fell into madness, he became calmer and calmer.
Along the way, it seemed that there was no big danger except for the unlucky guy who died.
Moreover, people like Mafa behave very strangely.
That Major General Tatina did not stop the slaves from grabbing things. She probably thought that after they went out, they would be confiscated and they would not be able to escape.
Seeing this scene, Dean Mason's face turned ugly for a while, as if it was difficult to understand the robbery behavior of the investigation team.
He earnestly warned everyone: "Laboratory Zero was once a research institute where the college's high-risk projects were concentrated. Many dangerous experimental subjects, specimens and materials were sealed here. Please be careful and try not to touch them, otherwise they may be contaminated." .”
At this time, Major General Tatina spoke up and made a very strange request: "Dean Mason, please give me first-level management authority. I want to go to the 'T11 Experimental Area' to investigate the situation."< br>
Upon hearing this, the old dean's face changed suddenly, and he quickly responded: "The TII experimental area is very dangerous. There are many high-risk items sealed in it. You can't go!"
When Su Lun heard this, he looked slightly sideways.
This was information that he didn't have. Apparently, people like Mafa found it from the investigation team leader's files.
The old man's attitude was very firm. Su Lun thought that Major General Tatina would not insist, but unexpectedly, this woman's attitude was surprisingly tough at this moment.
She took out a parchment with the royal crest and said in a deep voice: "Our investigation team has its own judgment, and we don't need to be reminded by the dean. This is a warrant passed by the parliament. Just give me the authority!"< br>
As soon as she said this, the dozens of mechanical warriors around her formed a faint battle formation, showing signs of taking action.
Permissions?
It turns out that this is the point.
Su Lun squinted at everything in front of him and thought to himself: "They are going to be tough, but where do they get the confidence?"
At the same time, he felt that the old dean had a too good temper. In this situation, why not kill everyone?
Things are going from bad to worse.
The plot that Su Lun originally expected was that the old dean wanted to kill people and silence them, and then the "Bert Hilbery" hiding in the laboratory came forward, and the two sides fought fiercely.
But now the old man has not raised any objections. Instead, these Marfa people have raised objections. What kind of "first-level authority" are they asking for?
Dean Mason's level of intelligence is so high that he is almost like a real person.
He was about to say something, but at this moment, there was a sudden door closing sound in the tunnel.
In order to prevent pollution leakage, this "Laboratory Zero" has set up many defense measures. The corridors are made of extremely strong materials, which can prevent energy leakage, and even have walls made of special materials that can prevent spatial displacement.
Su Lun had made special observations before, but his chessboard had the highest authority in the laboratory and could be opened from the inside. So I didn't take it too seriously.
But now, someone activated the mechanism, and those doors closed like lightning.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!".
The sound of several doors closing came from far to near, and finally even the doors in the core area were completely sealed.
Everyone is trapped in this several thousand square meters laboratory.
Dean Mason looked at the "investigation team" in the imperial capital with an expression of disbelief and asked: "You, those people just now, did you arrange for them to open the emergency safety device of the laboratory?"
Tatina did not mention this topic, but acquiesced.
She emphasized again: "Please cooperate with the dean and give me the authority!"
Dean Mason didn't understand why she had to take the authority. He was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly figured out something. The blood on his face suddenly turned pale, and the majesty of a strong man burst out in an instant, and he shouted angrily: "Oh my God. , do you know what you are doing! This stupid behavior may even bring devastating disaster to the empire and the entire plane!"
After a pause, he added with an angry and sad look on his face: "I finally know why it wants to lure you to the 'No.
Su Lun had never seen this old man lose his composure before, and his heart thumped.
He finally realized that things were different from what he expected.
People like Mafa are determined to get that "authority", and they seem to be doing something big.
Suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and Su Lun finally understood why the time burst of the "Void Invasion" was different. He said in his heart: "No! The clue left by 'Herbert Hilbery' itself is There’s a problem!”
Seeing the excited attitude of the old dean, Su Lun immediately realized that he had been misled by the clues in the notes, and that guys like Mafa were also misled by the clues in the files!
This old man is not the evil villain he expected at all!
At least, this guy had no intention of killing the investigation team to silence him from the beginning to the end.
Su Lun quickly analyzed in his mind: "According to intelligence, if we do not interfere with the investigation team's actions, those NPCs will enter the plane channel every time. And soon after entering, the 'void invasion' will break out. Therefore, the monsters invade the academy." The real trigger was the investigation team’s entry into Laboratory Zero!”
"Now the investigation team's files have been intercepted by people like Mafa. They got the information and came directly to find it! There must be some special information pointing here in the file, which allowed people like Mafa to find the laboratory. The emergency safety device was closed and the current action was taken.”
Su Lun figured out some causal relationships in his mind.
But at this moment, Major General Tatina waved her hand, "Do it!"
At this order, the group of mechanical warriors behind her suddenly took out strange firearms. When they fired, a blue arc network condensed in the air.
This is a cursed space, not the real world, so people like Mafa don’t have that much scruple.
Killing monsters, grabbing treasures, and breaking the cursed space is the ultimate goal.
Su Lun could have reacted in advance, but after seeing the identified situation, he immediately chose to stay.
[Particle Energy Arc Gun], this gun has no lethality. Its only use is to disrupt the energy in the area, making it difficult to condense alchemy. This is a powerful weapon for mechanical warriors to restrain traditional alchemists from casting spells.
These guys trapped the old dean here, restricted the spatial displacement, and used such high technology. They were obviously here to ambush him!
"These guys are really ready to kill this dean."
Su Lun also understood their plan.
In the entire Void Alchemy Academy, only the sealed environment of this laboratory could possibly kill this old man who could move space at will.
Although he hasn't fully understood the cause and effect of the matter, he will never let people like Mafa kill the old dean!
But just when Su Lun was about to take action, a strange scene happened.
The few waves of people who left before turned on some emergency safety device, which not only closed the door, but also released a very terrifying monster.
At this moment, a strange creature that looked like a mud monster in a sketch and was completely composed of black lines emerged from the cracks in the floor, and then formed a terrifying void monster nearly ten meters tall in front of everyone.
Su Lun watched the monster transform from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, with shock in his eyes.
[The ultimate aberration of the Void Diphragm]
Detailed explanation: Herbert Hilbery merged the marrow fluid of a god-level void mother insect into a deformed monster. It is a void monster that can convert between two-dimensional and three-dimensional forms at will. It has the ability to reduce three-dimensional objects to two dimensions, which is extremely dangerous; it is also the 'mother worm' of the Void Zerg, and can activate telepathy and summon hundreds of millions of Void Zerg.
“Spatial dimensionality reduction?”
Su Lun was also surprised when he saw the identified ability.
It turns out that the laws of space are not only teleportation and imprisonment, but also the ability to reduce dimensions, which can be called a "magic skill".
But that doesn't matter anymore.
He looked at the word [Mother Insect] and thought of the current behavior of the people in Marfa, and then suddenly realized: "I finally understand. The 'Void Invasion' has been a conspiracy directed and acted by this fellow Herbert himself from beginning to end. ! Just to attract the investigation team, let it out, and then intercept the dean, seize authority, and completely open the void plane channel."
"But why did he do this?"
Su Lun thought about the words in the notes, and they didn't look like they were made up.
Then Herbert Hilbery is an alchemist who loves the world, and there is no anti-human tendency in his writing
Moreover, if you really want to write misleading clues, there is no need to hide it so deeply.
"By the way, he was already distorted when he wrote this note! Part of the content in the note is true, and part of it may have been written under his twisted mental will after his mental distortion."
Su Lun thought of this and suddenly understood everything, "Herbert knew that the distortion could not be reversed, so he took the initiative to report to the academy and let himself be locked up in the 'Laboratory Zero'. At that time, human will was still dominant. But after the complete distortion, the monster The will dominates, and it knows that it has no hope of escaping, so it can only use this excuse to attract the Imperial Capital Investigation Team!"
After this monster appeared, the tentacles on its head kept trembling, as if it was sending out some kind of biological signal. The next moment, the laboratory suddenly shook violently like an earthquake.
The void invasion broke out as expected!
"So that's how it broke out."
Su Lun narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the completely reversed plot in front of him.
The safest option is to run away while the two bosses are fighting, but all opportunities here have to be given up.
Moreover, the plot of Cursed Space will proceed in the original direction, and there is a high probability that it will not be broken.
Su Lun's thoughts were racing and he was quickly assessing the risks of various plans.
He found that things didn't seem that bad after all.
Although the process is different as expected, the ending is the same, at least the two big bosses are facing each other head-on.
This allowed the second half of Su Lun's original plan to be applied as well.
It just seemed that the one he wanted to help kill now was the two-way monster, not the old dean.
He chose to stay.
At this time, the old dean looked at the monster in front of him and knew that things were irreversible. He looked bitter and murmured to himself: "Herbert used to be my best friend. He was also the most talented alchemist in the academy in hundreds of years." Warlock. But he was contaminated and deformed because of his research on some very dangerous projects. I always wanted to help him. Suppressed, but the distorted monster's will gradually thought that I wanted to harm him, and he became more withdrawn, suspicious and surly. In the end, the distortion became uncontrollable, and he completely turned into a monster. Xiang Li', I can't kill it, so I can only seal it in Laboratory Zero."
As he said that, he glanced at Mafa's group: "Hey, you have caused a big disaster!" (End of Chapter)
