Chapter 180 Scientists studying demons
After ending the call, Lu Heng put the visa bracelet back into his inventory, and then changed his footing to avoid exposing his whereabouts.
Today is already the ninth day of entering the abyss battlefield.
According to the description of the main mission, the duration of this abyss battlefield is 15 days.
Therefore, we can return in 6 days.
Although the matter of Xavier Matrix and the Black Feather Spirit has not been resolved, this matter is not a task that must be completed.
If you really can't solve it, you can give up temporarily.
What really needs to be solved is the mission issued by the Abyss Battlefield.
Every time Su Muyu enters the abyss battlefield, she will carefully read the mission prompts, think about the content of the mission, and extract useful information from it.
Every time you complete a task, you will confirm it again.
She checked the mission and reminded: "We still have 6 days, so we have to think about how to complete the mission. This is related to divine energy, and other things are secondary."
Lu Heng opened the task panel and took a look at the completion status of the task.
Of the three main quests, the first and second have been completed.
The third main task is to survive for 15 days, so there is no need to think about it. Just survive until the end of time and choose to return.
It can also be seen from the requirements of the main mission.
Although the world danger level of the abyss battlefield this time is level 5, the actual mission danger level is lower than level 5.
The main missions are all completed, and the next thing to consider is the challenge missions.
Three challenge missions.
[1. Battle for the essence, complete the fusion of the essence, and obtain the second-level job. 】
【2. Find the source of the pollution in the abyss and remove the pollution. 】
【3. Join one of the three major factions and complete the tasks assigned by the faction. 】
Among them, Lu Heng had already completed the first challenge task before he came in, and Su Muyu had also completed it.
Only Lin Zeyu has not yet obtained the second-level professional essence, so he needs to pay attention to it.
The third challenge task, joining the faction, has been completed, and there are still faction tasks that need to be followed up.
The last thing that needs to be focused on is the second challenge task, which is to find the source of pollution in the abyss and remove it.
So far, it is unknown where the source of the abyssal pollution lies.
However, the "thing" that ate the four corpses in the gas block could very well be a clue.
If that "thing" is really as suspected, it is a demon, or even a mechanically modified demon.
Then, by tracking down this demon, there is a chance that we can find the source of the abyss pollution.
……
Although Lu Heng felt that the gas block case was not related to Xavier Matrix, this was just speculation and this conclusion needed to be further verified.
Therefore, Lu Heng considered going to Xavier Matrix's plant garden to investigate again. Firstly, he could investigate whether there were traces of demons, and secondly, he could find out the secrets on the Black Feather Spirit.
The next morning.
Lu Heng used the Transformation Orb to transform into a Sykes man, and then went to the plant garden with Yeliana Sykes to investigate.
The reason why he changed his appearance was to avoid being noticed by Sikes officials and causing unnecessary trouble.
Moreover, only if her image changed would Eliana Sykes be willing to take Lu Heng there.
Because of the battle that day, Xavier Matrix's plant garden was severely damaged.
Half the house was missing.
The plants in the courtyard suffered heavy casualties, and there was basically no need to save them.
Only a broken flower pot was left lying under the courtyard wall, which was blocked by the courtyard wall, allowing the plants in the flower pot to be preserved.
Although only two leaves were broken off, the root system was intact.
Lu Heng walked over and picked up this goose-yellow plant that looked like tribulus, wrapped it in a little mud, found a container to put it in, and then held it in the palm of his hand, ready to take it back to see if it could be planted.
This time.
Another group of people walked into the courtyard, and it turned out to be a descendant of Sykes, who came in with three people from Alex Austin's team.
Not all five members of this American team came, only three.
Alex Austin glanced around and saw Lu Heng holding a plant in his hand, so he said to the Adventist manager next to him: "Is that in compliance with the regulations?"
The Adventist manager immediately pointed at Lu Heng and asked: "What is your identity? You cannot touch the items on site at will."
Elena Sykes immediately stood in front of Lu Heng and shot back: "Nelson, when did you have the right to question my employees?"
This Sykes man named Nelson is the No. 3 city manager of the Advent sect. He is considered a high-ranking person in the Advent sect, but he is not at the level of a leader.
Yeliana Sykes is the number one leader of the Fugitive Faction. Although the Fugitive Faction is not as powerful as the Advent Faction, Yeliana Sykes still has higher authority.
Nelson emphasized: "The items on site cannot be touched, let alone taken away. Does this matter need to be discussed?"
Lu Heng put the goose-yellow caltrop back on the half-collapsed wall, and then remained silent. Alex Austin walked up and checked the plants and containers a little, and found nothing unusual, so he stopped chasing them.
When he passed by Lu Heng, his eyes swept across Lu Heng's face.
Lu Heng also glanced at him, and the moment the two people made eye contact, their eyes changed for a moment.
But there was no follow-up, the two passed by each other without looking back at each other.
Elena Sykes didn't want to stay in the same place as Nelson, so she waved to Lu Heng and went into the basement of the courtyard together.
The basement of this courtyard is Xavier Matrix's laboratory.
There are a total of three floors underground, with many experimental materials and mechanical parts left inside.
However, the information and data have been cleared, so Sykes has not obtained any official experimental data.
Lu Heng walked around the basement, not looking for experimental data, but looking for traces related to the devil.
Then, on the second floor of the underground laboratory, something special was discovered, which was a pair of horns of a horned devil.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Yeliana Sykes also discovered the pair of devil horns and said: "Sure enough, Xavier Matrix is indeed related to the devil, and there are traces of the devil in the laboratory."
Lu Heng put on his gloves and picked up the pair of demon horns for inspection.
It was indeed a demon horn, and there were some experimental tools and a few demon nails next to it.
Apparently, Xavier Matrix is researching demons.
However, there seems to be no sign of being polluted by the abyss.
According to past experience, places polluted by the abyss will inevitably leave traces.
Therefore, Lu Heng felt that the appearance of a pair of demon horns in the laboratory did not prove that Xavier Matrix was related to the pollution of the abyss. It only meant that he was studying demons.
In a world invaded by the abyss, it is normal for scientists to study demons.
If scientists are not even allowed to study demons, how can a civilization find a way to fight demons?
Unless it can be proven that Xavier Matrix is related to the source of Abyssal pollution, studying demons should not be used as a reason for conviction.
In the underground laboratory, Lu Heng found several armor parts similar to those of the Black Feather Spirit. He picked them up and looked at them. They were the armor shells on the shoulders. There was nothing special about them.
As for the functional modules of the Black Feather Spirit, they were not found in the underground laboratory.
besides.
Lu Heng discovered that there was a microscope in the laboratory specially used to observe plant cells, and there was a piece of plant leaf tissue on it, which had dried up.
After looking around, Nelson, the Advent manager, walked in with Alex Austin.
Elena Sykes turned around and asked Lu Heng: "Have you finished reading?"
Lu Heng nodded and followed her out of the underground laboratory.
Back in the courtyard, Lu Heng looked around and found no other clues, so he finally removed the goose-yellow thorn plant on the wall.
……
In the anti-gravity car, Yeliana Sykes asked: "Have you seen any clues? Can you tell me now why you want to help Xavier Matrix? This person is a madman, and he will do whatever it takes to do research, and He has demon horns and nails in his lab, I don't understand why you would help him."
Lu Heng held the plant in his hand and replied: "I don't think there is anything wrong with studying demons. If you need to find a way to deal with demons, you need to study demons."
Eliana Sykes stared at Lu Heng's face and said in a deep voice: "Your answer is very dangerous. I am starting to regret giving you a visa."
Lu Heng changed the topic and asked: "You deliberately led me to investigate Xavier Matrix. What was your purpose?"
Clues about Xavier Matrix were first provided by Yeliana Sykes.
However, she had no evidence to prove that the case in the Gaseous Block was related to Xavier Matrix, but she directed her investigation to the mad scientist.
In fact, Lu Heng had doubts about this from the beginning, but he still followed her guidance and started investigating Xavier Matrix.
Because the third challenge mission in the Abyss Battlefield is to complete the faction mission.
And investigating Xavier Matrix is a faction mission issued by Yeliana Sykes.
Even though he had doubts, he followed her request and started looking for Xavier Matrix.
It’s just that Yeliana Sykes didn’t expect that the alien human in front of her would find Xavier Matrix so quickly.
Faced with Lu Heng's doubts, Eliana Sykes did not respond directly, but remained silent.
Lu Heng continued: "Do you want to get something from Xavier Matrix? I think you'd better tell me the truth, because the Adventists also want to get something from Xavier Matrix. If you don't tell the truth, I There is no guarantee whether this thing will fall into the hands of the Adventists.”
Yeliana Sykes narrowed her eyes slightly and asked: "Do you still have a way to find Xavier Matrix?"
Lu Heng did not answer her question and looked down at the goose-yellow caltrop in his hand.
After a while, Eliana Sykes said: "I need the information on the Mechanical Angel that he studied. It is a technical information that even the military covets. It is very important. Moreover, there is information that shows that he has mastered a kind of secret. Special technology that has never appeared before.”
In fact, Lu Heng had already guessed the answer.
The combat mechanical angel made by Xavier Matrix is a war weapon that can single-handedly defeat thousands of drones and sink anti-gravity fighters.
If it weren't for the appearance of Alex Austin, the Sykes military's capture of Xavier Matrix would never have been successful.
