Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 4000 Cube Upgrade
The prototype of the geometric lock is a three-dimensional geometric Rubik's Cube lock, which can be large or small. When it is enlarged, it is like a cramped and quiet room, and when it is small, it is like a Rubik's Cube in the palm of your hand.

When Ingres integrated the "Embryo of Space" into the Geometric Lock, its overall appearance did not change significantly, but the black and white squares on the Rubik's Cube became deeper and more distant.

The black is like a curtain of emptiness, with occasional flickers, like pouring starlight. The white is like a mist of light, with bright edges, like the gilding of sunlight.

In addition to the deeper color, Ingres could sense that the internal space of the geometric lock had significantly expanded.

Before, it could only be enlarged to the size of a single quiet room, and it was crowded for people to sit in.

But now, it can be directly expanded to five or six times the original size, about the size of two classrooms.

However, the size of the internal space does not mean much to the Geometric Lock. It is not used for storage. When it becomes smaller, the space inside the Geometric Lock will also shrink.

The main purpose of increasing the size of the geometric space is to isolate the smell of large objects.

However, this is not very useful at the moment.

What Angel cares about most is the efficiency of the geometric lock in isolating energy aura, and whether it can isolate the mysterious aura?

With doubts, Ingres took out the dream conch.

He did not activate the Dream Conch, but relied solely on the mysterious aura naturally emitted by the Dream Conch to test the aura-isolating effect of the Geometry Lock.

After a moment, Ingres had a rough idea of ​​the result.

The suppression and isolation capabilities of the Geometric Lock have been increased by about two to three times. If based on the effects of the original version, the improvement is very large.

But for the mysterious aura, the suppression effect was still not enough to satisfy Angel.

If the activated dream conch is released, a small amount of mysterious aura will still escape. However, due to the suppression effect, the spread of this mysterious aura will be much weaker.

To put it more bluntly, the mysterious aura that had escaped before might have been sensed by a strong person outside Anjing Town. But now, unless one was near the warehouse, it was impossible to sense the mysterious aura.

The effect improvement is huge.

But Angel hoped to completely suppress the mysterious aura...so, he was still a little dissatisfied personally.

"I still have nine materials. Maybe I can refine a few more space embryos and integrate them into the geometric locks?" Angel pondered in his heart, but quickly shook his head in denial.

The increase in the Space Embryo has a diminishing marginal effect. Moreover, this diminishing effect is very obvious. The increase is very large at the beginning, but the increase becomes smaller and smaller as time goes by, and there may even be no increase.

Therefore, continuing to invest the embryo of space into the lock of geometry is not worth the effort.

"Forget it." Angel shook his head: "Although I am not completely satisfied yet, it is better than before. Even in a busy city, as long as I pay a little attention, I can use the Dream Conch."

However, at present, the Dream Crystal Origin does not really need the Dream Conch to pull items in. The Dream Crystal Origin has various fairyland copies and is not short of materials...

When Ingres thought of this, he prepared to put away the dream conch.

But at this moment, he suddenly thought of something.

He walked out of the Geometry Lock and asked Jiuwu to help contact Naples.

After a moment, he returned to the Geometry Lock carrying a small bag, and then shook it gently. The covering skin fell apart, and more than a dozen small items fell out.

There are pieces of paper, pine cones, crystals, scissors, ink and other things.

These are the "relics" that Naples has collected recently. Angel asked him for a small part of them, and planned to bring them into the Dream Crystal Origin. Then he will use Hertz's "story resonance" to see if he can determine which item has strong emotions.

Activate the Dream Conch and pull all these bits and pieces into the Word Manor.

He will be able to try it as soon as he leaves the copy later.

When the Dream Conch is activated, a mysterious aura emanates from it.

However, there was no one inside or outside the warehouse except the crystal puppet, so it did not cause any commotion. Only Jiuwu looked back at the geometric lock where Angel was, then shrank back in fear and continued to be lazy...

……

Underground Block 61 Town, Freedom Theater.

Angel opened his eyes.

This is the bathroom on the first floor, and he deliberately chose to enter when no one was around.

The Free Theatre has a very large flow of people every day. When Ingres came out of the bathroom, he saw people outside preparing to watch a show.

His appearance did not attract anyone's attention at all.

"It's almost evening now. Aduo should have gone to the space behind the painting. She should have made some judgment, right?" Angel muttered as he took out the contact card Aduo gave him yesterday.

After finding a fashion show with few people and which was obviously a "free show", Ingres contacted A-Do.

"Sir, I think you're very busy..." A Duo said resentfully as soon as they got in touch.

Angel: "What's wrong?"

A Duo: "I tried to contact Mr. 33 times today, and I was able to get through every time..."

Just when she was about to contact him for the 34th time, Angel took the initiative to contact her. Because of this, A Duo was full of resentment...

Angel: “Sorry, didn’t notice.”

A Duo: “…”

The contact card will send holographic images and sounds. You didn’t even notice this. Who are you trying to fool?

Although Ah Duo wanted to complain, considering the important business, she decided to change the subject and said solemnly: "Sir, I went to the space behind the oil painting today. After testing, I determined that the erosion energy was the ether energy of the dark corner. I have informed the master, and the master asked me to discuss the subsequent martial law level with you."

If she could make her own decision on this matter, or if Vera directly set the level of martial law, she would not be so resentful. But Vera asked her to listen to Angel's advice, so she contacted Angel again and again.

Angel: "I'll decide the level of martial law?"

A Duo nodded: "Yes, this is what the master ordered."

Angel did not give a direct answer, but asked: "Do you have any preliminary thoughts on the level of martial law?"

A Duo: "Although the etheric energy in the oil painting space is restrained, there is a certain possibility that it will leak out. In addition, there is another special space outside that contains a large amount of etheric energy. I personally suggest that the underground block enter... Level 3 martial law restrictions."

Previously, Aduo and Angel had discussed the levels of martial law, with level five being the lowest and level one being the highest.

At that time, A Duo didn't know it was ether energy, but just in case, she decided to impose level 4 martial law.

However, Angle felt that martial law would definitely cause a backlash, so he suggested not to rush into it.

A Duo did not object at that time, but now, after learning about the existence of ether energy, she felt that she could not just let it go. If the ether energy escaped, it would be really over.

Therefore, she personally hoped that the martial law level would be raised to the maximum, but considering that Angell belonged to the "moderate faction", she still lowered her psychological expectations and said a level three martial law.

"Level 3 martial law means blocking all entrances and exits and preventing communication between towns... This is a bit too extreme." Angel muttered, "If it was when the mutant virus was leaked before, we could use level 3 martial law, but it is not necessary now."

"Level three is still extreme?" A Duo's voice suddenly became higher: "Also, what is the mutant weird virus?"

Angel coughed and said, "It's nothing. I have solved the mutant virus. You don't have to worry about it. Let's get back to the point. I still think level three is too high. Listen to my analysis..."

There is no need to worry about the etheric energy sealed by the glass beads in the oil painting space for now.

To take a step back, even if he really escaped, the nightmare would not affect the people around him.

As for the strange space they are looking for, this does require attention, but Angel thinks there is no need to worry too much... This space has not been discovered for many years, which means that it is relatively stable inside. As long as there is no excessive stimulation, there will generally be no risk of leakage.

Even if it were to leak out, it would take time for the ether energy to spread.

As long as there is an Ethernet converter to convert it in time, everything will be fine.

and so……

"Personally, I still suggest not imposing martial law. If martial law is necessary, then it should be level five."

The Level 5 martial law will not affect the people living here, but the Dark Round Table will recall a large number of personnel to begin maintaining law and order in the underground town.

Therefore, the Dark Round Table and the Wandering House are more affected.

"Level 5 martial law is too mild, sir. You may not understand ether energy. It is..." A Duo wanted to explain.

But Angel interrupted her: "I understand ether energy, and I have the means to deal with ether energy."

"solve?!"

A Duo was a little bit unbelievable. As far as he knew, there was no solution to the ether energy.

Angel: "You can understand it as a void exile without any consequences."

Hearing that it was Void Exile, A Duo breathed a sigh of relief. However, exiling the ether energy without any consequences was also very powerful.

Because as far as Aduo knows, other cities that encountered ether energy relied on the accumulation of human lives, and ultimately used this to exile the ether energy... Every time the number of deaths caused by exile alone was not small.

Therefore, a kind of void exile without any consequences is definitely a secret technique among secret techniques.

"If there is such a secret technique... then we can let go a little more. However, I personally suggest raising the martial law level to level three, preferably, or even level four."

Angel: "Then no martial law."

A Duo: "?? I said level 4."

Angel: "You also think there's no need to mobilize so many troops? That's right, then there's no martial law."

A Duo: “???” I didn’t say that!!
A Duo was silent for a moment: "Then let's put it on level 5 martial law."

Angel: "Okay, let's impose Level 5 martial law, but it doesn't have to be too strict..."

Before Angel could finish speaking, Aduo had already disconnected.

After a moment, A Duo reactivated the contact card.

"There was a slight problem with the signal just now. I have already arranged for Level 5 martial law... Is there anything else you want to say, sir?"

Angel: "...If there are new clues in that strange space, you can contact me first. I will try to use some special magic to see if I can locate it directly."

Angel didn't say what special magic it was, but Aduo imagined that it might be the hidden magic of the heat-type monster.

If we can locate the target directly based on simple clues, that would be even better.

"I understand. The Slaanesh Knight had already contacted the descendants of the first pioneers yesterday. They stayed together all night, so there should be some progress."

A Slaanesh Knight? All night long?
Angel: "Is this clue legitimate?"

A Duo: "For the safety of the underground streets, no matter how unrighteous it is, it is justice in the end."

Angel: "..."

"I will disconnect first. If there is any news from the Slaanesh Knights, I will contact you immediately. I just hope you won't be 'busy' again by then."

"..."

After disconnecting from Aduo, Angel walked out of the Liberty Theater and immediately saw the airship floating on the sky outside.

These bloated airships were roaming back and forth in the sky above Sixty-one Town. The external light screens were displaying advertisements for major conglomerates and projecting stage performances of idol groups. It was bustling and noisy, with lights and shadows interlaced, and it looked no different from the surface of the earth.

This is the No. 61 Town, the last town built in the entire underground block and also the most central town.

At this moment, the consortium advertisement of the airship suddenly paused.

The projection of the clock appeared on the sky.

The current time is 7:30 pm.

"It's almost time." Angel yawned and walked towards an alley behind the theater.

He came online on time because he had made an appointment with Xiaolu yesterday to go to the Hermit Club at 8 o'clock tonight to help President Lira dismantle the pages of the book.

The Hermit Order is located in the deep underground black market below the 61st Town.

There are many entrances to the Deep Underground Black Market, and there is one near the Freedom Theater.

After walking up hundreds of steps in the dark tunnel, Angel returned to what the wastelanders called the new world: the deep black market.

Angel arrived half an hour early and thought he was already very early. But Xiaolu was earlier than him. He just walked out of the entrance and before he reached the door of the black market, he saw Xiaolu waving at him from an abandoned iron container.

"This way! This way!"

Angel walked over, and Xiaolu supported himself with one hand and jumped down from the container.

It landed, raising dust.

Xiaolu clapped his hands, took out the pipe from his waist, took a deep puff, and after he was slightly tipsy, he said to Angel: "Dear member, we meet again."

"You came so early? Are you waiting for me here?"

Xiaolu exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Although I really want to say yes, it's a pity. I was originally having a drink inside, but because I was craving for cigarettes, I came out to take a few puffs. Then I saw Mr. come in."

As Xiaolu spoke, he pointed to a crooked small building behind him.

Ingres looked in the direction of her finger. It was a small four-story building built with containers. At the entrance, rusty iron sheets were inlaid with broken neon lights, forming a row of "Iron Box Tavern" signs. Combined with a large number of windows flashing colorful lights, it was full of the feeling of iron wasteland.

"Mr. has arrived just in time. I was thinking of starting the banquet after he arrived." Xiaolu: "But now that Mr. has arrived, we can start early!"

Xiaolu's tone sounded a little excited, and she seemed to be looking forward to the party.

"Banquet?" Angel was stunned.

When he used a bird's eye view to spy on the hermit society yesterday, he didn't mention any banquet arrangements?

Xiaolu: "It was a last-minute decision this morning. After President Lila came back these past two days, he invited several new members to join the club. It just so happens that you're coming tonight, so we thought of getting together and having a welcome party!"

Seeing that Angel's brows were furrowed, Xiaolu thought that he didn't like the party, and hurriedly said, "Just go in and have a drink and sing some songs. If you don't want to join in, there are quiet rooms inside where we can talk about business."

Angel shook his head. He had no objection to attending the banquet, but was a little...surprised.

However, life often has unexpected things.

If this accident doesn't develop in a bad direction, he doesn't mind experiencing it.
