Destiny Thief

Chapter 124 Aborted Experiment

Under the night sky is the street scene of Cemetery City.

Unlike the cities of surface humans, the underground world does not have a clear distinction between day and night.The streets, alleys, squares, and even the whole city were in an extremely rare silence in the gray mist overhead.Occasionally, a horse-drawn carriage drawn by skeletons and undead sped past the corner of the street, and the iron-wrapped hardwood wheels hit the joints of the pavement slabs, making a soft "clang" sound, which made this silence even more obvious.

Angus looked from near to far.

There were only a few pedestrians in the street. Although the Lich's body had lost its vitality of flesh and blood, its powerful spiritual perception was not inferior to the human eyesight. He could clearly see the scene at the end of his sight - the furry red flowers in the flower bed on one side of the street. Behind the ball moss, two resurrected people, residents of Cemetery City, are walking at a slow and leisurely pace. Their speed is as slow as running snails, but for the long-lived dead, it is a waste of time and life. Not a shameful thing.

This should be considered a comfortable and comfortable day.

In the room, an old bronze clock made a continuous ringing sound - the small copper hammer of the clock's internal mechanism struck the reed, once, twice, three times... until the eighth time.Angus withdrew his attention. He knew that according to the standard time of the human world, it should be eight o'clock now.

Just, is it eight o'clock in the morning?Or eight o'clock at night?He wasn't sure.Staying in this deserted and boring city is always easy to make people forget the time. If you can't find something interesting, it will be boring enough.

He had just conducted a comprehensive examination on Nina, and her sudden coma made him nervous like a heart-wrenching one, and he couldn't even take care of that major experiment that was listed as Dill's core secret.Fortunately, the final inspection results proved that this was just a false alarm. Over the past 300 years, Nina’s soul has gradually stabilized and is no longer as fragile as before. But it caused some soul shocks.

Maybe, when should I go back to the surface world and bring back those things that Nina likes.As for those nasty bugs who broke the ban, there are still many more important things right now, and there will always be opportunities in the future...

Eddie Gregory, the chairman of the Undead Council and the leader of Dill, saw Angus return to the laboratory——the purple soul fire contained a trace of haggardness that could not be concealed. This important core member of the experimental team asked him After saying hello lightly, he continued to bury his head and returned to work.

Beside the long table, experimental assistants came and went, and soon, a high stack of manuscript papers was piled up.During Angus's absence, some less important branch experiments had been completed. He picked up the manuscript papers and sorted them one by one according to the serial numbers in the upper right corner - this was his request. This special arrangement made this Eddie and the lichs who participated in the experiment were greatly impressed by the benefits of the complex project.

In the still busy underground laboratory at this moment, Eddie was not the only one who noticed Angus' fatigue. Beside him, a lich in a long robe and a woolen hat with a round brim approached. , looks ridiculous.But in this busy underground laboratory, no idler laughed.He walked up to Angus and tapped his knuckles on the table. The hard white bones collided with the wooden table and made an unpleasant noise:

"Angus, our No. 4 reagent has failed due to someone."

The Lich said calmly.His voice was hoarse and his tone was even.But a hint of accusation is self-evident.To abandon the important work at hand because of a woman, causing the expensive medicine to lose its effectiveness and be scrapped, in his opinion, this is not something that can be easily forgiven.

Although Lord Eddie didn't say much, it didn't mean that other people didn't have any opinions.And he, just as a representative of these disaffected people.

He stared at Angus, expecting a normal reaction - an apology and a corresponding loss.

But Angus didn't even look up at him. While he was copying the experimental data on a brand new piece of animal skin manuscript paper, he inserted the formula into the calculation and started to calculate.

The Lich was even more displeased, and he was planning to continue reminding Angus about this matter with greater noise - a not tall figure stood in front of him.

"Robert, have you finished your work?"

Eddie's rickety figure was at least two heads shorter than Lich Robert's, like a poor dwarf.But the Lich didn't dare to be negligent or negligent. He put his right hand on his chest and performed a standard mage salute, took a step back and replied respectfully, "Lord Eddie."

"Everyone must do their part first. This trial is very important!"

The chairman of the Undead Council seemed to be partial to Angus, so he changed the subject and put the emphasis on the word "important" at the end.

"But we can no longer configure Reagent No. 4."

Lich Robert was unwilling and decided to tell the truth.

"what is the reason?"

Eddie hesitated slightly and quickly asked with concern.

"Ingredients! We no longer have that ingredient in our inventory."

"Provide a list of requirements, and the parliament will make supplements."

"But……"

Angus, who was concentrating on his work, had nothing else to do. His calculation process quickly filled a page of manuscript paper in just a few minutes. Until then, he finally looked up at the two liches who were talking quietly beside him—Speaker Eddie The appearance seemed to be lost in thought. After a long silence, he asked Robert:
"Do those Karthus smugglers have these on hand?"

"Maybe... no."

In the undead council, Robert does not hold the position of material transaction.He saw Angus standing up from the long table, turning his head to stare at the skull with fragments of flesh hanging from it.

The two soul fires looked at each other.

"What do I need to do?"

The purple soul fire in Angus' eye sockets jumped, which looked like a blinking action.Lich Robert took advantage of the opportunity to say the raw material that No. 4 reagent lacked. When this situation was in front of them, the three liches frowned unanimously—of course, Senbai's bare skull could not vividly show this expression Yes, but being in a daze is their common state at the moment.

As the main experimenters, they all know that Reagent No. 4 is a key requirement that cannot be bypassed in the entire experiment. It is on a core technical route.Due to the lack of raw materials, the experiment would have to be temporarily suspended - realizing this fact, the three lichs immediately left the long table filled with manuscript papers.Under the temporary call of Speaker Eddie, several important members who participated in the experiment rushed over soon. Then, these high-ranking undead from Dill walked into the conference room of this underground place one after another.
