Mechanical Alchemist

dead.

Just at the end of the line, a few unlucky guys were cut off by the gods of unknown space who suddenly appeared, and their scarlet intestines flowed all over the floor.

Others didn't know what happened, but Su Lun felt the subtle space fluctuations.

At the moment when the attack happened just now, his omniscient eyes keenly captured the back of the monster that flashed away. It was a silver-level monster that looked like a skinned human being. It had a tongue that looked like a sickle, and it identified a name called [Void Aberrant Species Scythe Tongue].

This is a monster that has never appeared before.

This monster is very fast, good at space teleportation, and has a fatal threat to third- and fourth-tier professionals. Killing a few low-level slaves is naturally silent.

The attack was expected by Su Lun, but he also had a doubtful thought in his heart: "It's strange, it's not the old dean who did it, but the weirdness in the laboratory itself?"

He just identified that the [Scythe Tongue] monster is the monster that was deformed by the scientific researcher who died in the experimental accident in the "No. 0 Laboratory".

Su Lun felt that this should be an accident.

After a moment of panic among the crowd, calm was restored.

After all, only a few slaves died, and no one cared about their lives.

But the team also stopped, and everyone loaded their guns, showing a very alert look.

Dean Mason looked at the corpse, with a look of lament in his eyes, and persuaded him: "Captain Tatyna, I think we'd better not go any further. There are a lot of pollutants in this laboratory, even I can't Determine what has become inside. If this continues, it may be very detrimental to the safety of everyone in the investigation team.”

Hearing this, Major General Tatina was unmoved at all, and interrupted directly: "Go ahead."

The loss of a few slaves is nothing to the major general of the royal mechanical guard.

Dean Mason saw her resolute attitude, then glanced at the corpse on the ground, shook his head and sighed, but couldn't say anything more.

The team continued to move toward the depths of the laboratory.

Someone died at the beginning, which means that there may be more tragic killings in the future.

As Su Lun continued to walk in 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 who is mortal threat is the old dean.

But thoughts were spinning in his mind, and Su Lun suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He carefully observed the expression of Dean Mason.

It stands to reason that since they wanted to find a place to kill people and silence them, they shouldn't persuade the investigation team to turn back.

"Is it the reverse operation, the more you stop it, the more people want to go deep into the laboratory to find out?"

Su Lun felt that it should be so.

The investigation team went all the way down, encountered monsters one after another, and killed more than a dozen people.

But because of their precautions, the group also killed a few sneak attacking monsters.

But overall, there isn't much risk.

However, there are void pollutants in the environment, suggesting that there is a risk of distortion.

Gradually, Su Lun looked at the leader, Dean Mason, and felt something was wrong in his heart: "It's so deep, the old man hasn't killed anyone yet, why are you still hesitating?"

Now there are two key people in this investigation team, one is him, Mr. Su, who has been to the fourth floor of the library, and the other is Major General Tatina, the team leader.

Su Lun felt that if he were the old dean, he would definitely try to kill these two people who were trying to get closer to the truth.

But the monsters killed several times 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 puzzling.

Intuition told Su Lun that there seemed to be something wrong with the plot he deduced before.

It now appears that there was indeed a laboratory accident here.

What part did that "Herbert Hiberle" play in the accident?

Although Su Lun was sure that he was still alive, where was this man now?

Just as his thoughts were spinning, the major general Tatina had ordered her lieutenant general to lead a team of hundreds of people to investigate every corner of the laboratory.

The sound of guns and guns can be heard everywhere, and it is obvious that monsters have also been encountered.

But not too intense.

It shows that the monster is not too strong.

At this time, Su Lun suddenly realized something, and thought, "Huh, that's not right. This woman's purpose is too strong, and she didn't show the hesitation and caution she should have at all in the choice of multiple intersections. She seems to have known about the experiment in advance. The detailed structure of the chamber?"

"Laboratory Zero" has intricate tunnels, many forks, and space restrictions. There was no intelligence in the North Sea Fleet before. Normally, it is not wise to rush to explore unknown and obviously dangerous areas.

But she, a major general-level officer with rich combat experience, did so.

This is very strange.

"Could it be that they got detailed information from the investigation team leader NPC?"

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 Tatyna, which made her insist on coming to this "Laboratory Zero". What is she looking for?

And at this time, the team probably came to 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 densely packed instruments, as well as the void monster materials contained in glass containers.

[Void dragon locust skeleton (silver)], [black flash pterosaur's magic muscle (gold)], [dragon louse's dark devil skin (dark gold)], [Rocovarin insect king brain (legendary)], [ Thorn Scythe of the Void Mantis (Silver)].

The beam of the magic lamp irradiated the past, and the various rare void materials contained in the glass containers were all of the lowest quality of silver, as well as gold, dark gold, and even legendary materials.

These things have very strong curse characteristics, and they are definitely the best void materials for refining alchemy plant equipment, and their value is immeasurable.

Moreover, there are several places that are obviously material warehouses, and there are more materials and materials.

Although the core area is in a mess, it is obvious that it has experienced a fierce battle, and there is a high probability that there are monsters hiding in it. But it can't hinder the excitement of these foreign treasure hunters in the slightest.

Seeing these things, the people of the Royal Mechanical Legion could still keep quiet because of military discipline, but the hundreds of slaves rushed in with ecstasy as if they were crazy.

"Hahaha, I got rich this time! With these materials, we can get enough points to get out of slavery."

"Hurry up and grab it! Whoever gets it belongs to him!"

"I got it first! Whoever the hell wants to snatch it from me, I'll beat him to death"

"."

The slaves have fallen into madness, and they excitedly put all kinds of materials and treasures into the storage ring.

Large objects that cannot be loaded are carried on the back.

These high-quality materials, almost casually carried out, can give them freedom and great wealth. No one can stop their madness at the moment.

Not to mention those slaves who wanted to get out of slavery alive, even Su Lun felt jealous when he saw these things.

Materials are one thing. There are also a lot of experimental data, materials, manuscripts, and detailed reports of research projects, which are of inestimable value.

But when others fell into madness, he became more and more calm.

Along the way, it seems that there is no major danger except for the unlucky one who died.

Moreover, people like Mafa behaved very strangely.

The major general Tatina did not stop the slaves from robbing things, probably because he felt that after they got out, they would be confiscated and they would not be able to go out.

Seeing this scene, Dean Mason's face turned ugly, as if it was difficult to understand the robbery of the investigation team.

He earnestly warned everyone: "Laboratory Zero used to be a research institute for high-risk projects of the college. There are many dangerous experimental subjects, specimens and materials sealed up here. Be careful, and try not to touch them, otherwise they may be contaminated. .”

At this moment, Major General Tatina spoke up and made a very strange request: "Dean Mason, please give me a first-level management authority. I will go to the 'T11 Experimental Area' to investigate the situation."

Upon hearing this, the dean's face changed suddenly, and he quickly responded: "The TII experimental area is very dangerous. There are many high-risk items sealed inside. You can't go there!"

Su Lun looked sideways when he heard this.

This was information that he didn't have. Obviously, Mafa and the others found it from the files of the investigation team leader.

The old man's attitude was very firm. Su Lun thought that Major General Tatyna would not insist, but unexpectedly, this woman's attitude was surprisingly tough at the moment.

She took out a sheepskin scroll with the royal family's coat of arms, and said solemnly: "Our investigation team has its own judgment, and there is no need for your Excellency to remind you. This is a warrant passed by the parliament, just give me the authority!"

As soon as these words came out, the dozens of mechanical warriors around her vaguely formed a battle formation, showing signs of making a move.

permission?

It turns out that the focus is here.

Su Lun narrowed his eyes and looked at everything in front of him, and said in his heart: "I'm going to be tough, but where do they have the confidence?"

At the same time, he felt that the old dean's temper was too good. Now that the situation is like this, why don't they kill everyone?

Things are going from bad to worse.

What Su Lun originally expected was that the old dean wanted to kill people to silence him, and then the "Bert Hiberle" who was hiding in the laboratory showed up, and the two sides fought hard.

But now that the old man didn't make a fuss, what kind of "first-level authority" do these Marfa people make a fuss about?

Dean Mason's intelligence is very high, almost like a real person.

He was about to say something, but at this moment, there was a sound of closing the door in the tunnel.

In order to prevent pollution leakage, this "Laboratory Zero" has set up many defensive measures. The corridors are all made of particularly strong materials, which can prevent energy from leaking out, and even have walls made of special materials that can prevent spatial displacement.

Su Lun had observed it before, but his chessboard has the highest authority in the laboratory and can be opened from the inside. So it didn't matter too much.

But now, someone activated the mechanism, and those doors closed like lightning.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!".

The sound of closing the doors came from far to near, and finally even the few doors in the core area were completely sealed.

Everyone is trapped in these thousands of square meters of laboratories.

Dean Mason looked at the "investigation team" of 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?"

Tatyna obviously didn't mention this topic, but she 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, he suddenly figured out something, the blood on his face suddenly turned pale, and the majesty of a strong man erupted instantly, and he shouted angrily: "Oh my God , do you know what you are doing! This stupid behavior may even bring a devastating disaster to the empire and the entire plane!"

After a pause, he added with an angry and sad expression on his face, "I finally only know why it attracted you to the 'No. 0 Experimental Base'. It turned out to be like this! Hey, you were fooled."

Su Lun had never seen the old man lose his composure before, and his heart skipped a beat.

He finally realized that things were not what he expected.

People like Mafa are determined to get that "authority", as if they want to do something big.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Su Lun's mind, and Su Lun finally understood why the time eruption of "Void Invasion" would be different, and said in his heart: "No! The clues left by 'Herbert Hiberle' itself are has a problem!"

Seeing the excited attitude of the old dean, Su Lun immediately realized that he was misled by the clues in the notes, and Mafa and others were also misled by the clues in the file!

This old man is not the evil villain he expected at all!

At least, this guy didn't intend to kill the investigation team from the beginning to the end.

Su Lun quickly analyzed in his mind: "According to the intelligence, if we don't intervene in the investigation team's actions, those NPCs will enter the plane channel every time. And shortly after entering, the 'Void Invasion' will break out. Therefore, the monsters invaded the academy. The real trigger is the fact that the investigation team entered Laboratory Zero!"

"Now the files of the investigation team have been intercepted by people like Mafa. They got the information, and they came here directly! There must be some special information in the files that point to this place, so people like Mafa can find the emergency laboratory. Safety shut off, made the move."

Su Lun figured out some causality in his mind.

But at this moment, Major General Tatina waved her hand, "Do it!"

With this order, the group of mechanical warriors behind her suddenly took out strange firearms, and when they fired, a blue arc network condensed in the air.

This is a cursed space, and it's not the real world. People like Mafa don't have so many scruples.

Killing monsters to seize treasures and breaking the cursed space is the ultimate goal.

Su Lun could have reacted in advance, but seeing the identified situation, he immediately chose to stay.

[Microparticle Energy Arc Gun], this gun has no lethality, its only use is to disturb the energy in the area, making it difficult for people to condense alchemy. This is a great weapon for mechanical warriors to restrain traditional alchemists from casting spells.

These guys trapped the old dean here, restricted the spatial displacement, and used this kind of high technology, obviously to ambush him!

"These guys are really planning to kill the dean."

Su Lun also understood their plan.

The entire Void Alchemy Academy, and only the airtight environment of this laboratory, may kill this old man who can move in space at will.

Although he hasn't fully figured out the cause and effect of the incident, he will never let people like Mafa kill the old dean!

But when Su Lun was about to do something, a strange scene appeared.

The few waves of people who left before turned on some kind of emergency safety device, not only closed the door, but also released a very scary monster.

At this moment, a strange creature made entirely of black lines, like the mud monster in the sketch, emerged from the cracks in the floor, and then formed a terrifying void monster nearly ten meters high in front of everyone.

Su Lun watched the transformation process of the monster from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, and his eyes couldn't hide the shock.

[Ultimate Distortion of Void Diversity]

Detailed Explanation: Herbert Hillbolt is a deformed monster that has been transformed from the marrow liquid of the god-level void mother worm. It is a void monster that can freely switch between two-dimensional and three-dimensional forms. It has the ability to reduce the dimension of three-dimensional objects into two dimensions, which is extremely dangerous; it is also the 'mother insect' of the void zerg, which can initiate telepathy and summon hundreds of millions of void zerg.

"Space dimensionality reduction?"

Seeing the identified ability, Su Lun was also taken aback.

It turns out that the law of space is not only about teleportation and imprisonment, but also the ability of dimensionality reduction, which can be called a "magic skill".

But none of that matters anymore.

He looked at the word [Mother Worm] and thought of the current behavior of the people in Marfa, and then suddenly realized: "I finally understand that 'Void Invasion' is a conspiracy directed and acted by Herbert himself from the beginning to the end! In order to attract the investigation team, let it out, and then intercept and kill the dean by the way, seize authority, and completely open the passage to the void plane."

"But...why would he do that?"

Su Lun thought of the words in the notes, and it didn't look like a short composition.

Then Herbert Hillbolt is an alchemist who loves the world, and there is no anti-human tendency in the text

Moreover, if you really want to write misleading clues, there is no need to hide it so deep.

"By the way, he was already deformed when he wrote this note! Part of the content in the note is true, and part of it may be written under his distorted spiritual will after his mental distortion."

Su Lun thought of this, and suddenly understood everything, "Herbert knew that the distortion could not be reversed, and then he took the initiative to report to the academy and locked himself in the 'Laboratory Zero'. At that time, human will was still dominant. 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 investigation team from the imperial capital!"

After this monster appeared, the tentacles on its head kept vibrating, as if sending out some kind of biological signal. The next moment, the laboratory suddenly shook violently like an earthquake.

The Void Invasion exploded as expected!

"That's how it exploded."

Seeing the completely reversed plot in front of him, Su Lun narrowed his eyes slightly.

The safest choice is to run away when the two bosses are fighting, but all opportunities here have to be given up.

Moreover, the plot of the cursed space will continue in the original direction, and there is a high probability that it will not be broken.

Thoughts were spinning in Su Lun's mind, quickly assessing the risks of various plans.

He found that things didn't seem so bad.

Although the process can be guessed to be different, the ending is the same, at least two big bosses are fighting head-on.

This allowed Su Lun's original plan for the second half to be applied as well.

It just seemed that what he was going 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, knowing that the situation was irreversible, and with a bitter face, he murmured to himself: "Herbert used to be my best friend, and he was also the most talented alchemist in the academy for hundreds of years. Warlock. But because he researched some very dangerous projects, he was polluted and deformed. I always wanted to help him suppress it, but the will of the deformed monster gradually thought that I was going to kill him, and he became more withdrawn, suspicious and surly .In the end, the distortion became uncontrollable, and he completely turned into a monster. And this monster has the 'two-dimensional force of the void', I can't kill it, I can only seal it in the zero laboratory."

As he said that, he glanced at the group of people in Mafa: "Hey, you have caused a big disaster!"
