Chapter 404 Mastermind
"Ran?"

Hearing Franke's report, Ferran frowned.

"How did you run?"

"I don't know, master, but it is certain that she has escaped."

Franka would also be downcast at the moment, she had focused most of her attention on the avatar just now to fight against the inexplicable intruder.But I didn't expect that something went wrong at the end. Franke thought it was all cut like that, and it would be impossible to get up within a few minutes... Sure enough, he really ran away.

Are you the intruder gone?Or is it that I, Franka, can't hold a knife?
"Do you know how she got in here?"

Phelan shook his head, put this question to the back of his mind, and asked another question, to which Franka reluctantly gave a negative answer.

"I don't know, master, the portal is not activated, and the protective cover is normal. It is certain that the other party definitely did not invade through physical means. It may be a space transfer or something... Only God knows."

"Is it a familiar?"

"No, it doesn't look like a capable person... Strictly speaking, it feels more like Miss Shar and the others..."

"A visitor from another world?"

Hearing this, Fei Lun narrowed his eyes. Of course, he had heard from Shar and Su Lun that people from their world and even other worlds were gathering towards Earth.According to the two, such a plane without a native god system is an excellent colony for any god... Having said that, Su Lun seems to be reading Das Kapital recently, and she intends to Transform your own church into Marxism?

But... magic?

Thinking of this, Phelan clicked on his own shadow magic system. Although he didn't know the outside situation in New York, a city of distorted space, from the perspective of the shadow magic circle, the magic system is gradually being developed in the wasteland. To expand, as far as Faerun saw, there were [-] to [-] people who had been exposed to zero-level spells, but the higher the level, the fewer people they came into contact with.There are less than a thousand people with fourth-ring spells, and only a hundred or so people with fifth-ring spells.

Right now, in the entire Shadow Demon Net, Krona is still the tallest. After all, she is a disciple of Faerun, and she is born with more potential than others in this respect.

Most of them should be from the ninth district.

However, compared to the popularity of magic, other things built on the magic level are not so easy to handle.For example, things such as space protection barriers, although Fei Lun can learn the knowledge from the Shadow Demon Net, but he doesn't have enough materials at hand to make these barriers.In fact, there are some materials in it that can’t be found on the earth at all. You said that gems and diamonds may be able to gain something by robbing a jewelry store, but what the hell are fairy dust and soul powder?

It seems that this is really troublesome.

Magic is obviously something that came from another world, but now, there is no existence on earth that can effectively restrain magic. The abilities of capable users are stronger than magic in some respects, but they are also very restrictive.Especially when encountering such a problem, it may not be an easy task to solve it...

"Forget it, let's talk about it after we go out."

Now is not the time to solve this problem, so Phelan wisely chose to pause.But the next thing, he won't let it go so lightly.

"By the way, Franke, the host here..."

"It's done...in fact, it's easier than I thought..."

This time Franka finally showed a relieved expression, and then she curled her lips and looked at the huge metal face not far away.

"Oh?"

Hearing Franka's answer, Fei Lun couldn't help being taken aback, but when he followed Franka's gaze, Fei Lun finally understood what Franka meant.

I saw that the forehead part of the huge metal face embedded in the wall had been completely smashed open at this moment.A large hole was exposed.Of course, Ferran didn't care about the methods and methods Franka used to "dismantle" this place, but what was inside surprised him a little.

I saw that in the metal forehead, there was something that looked like a coffin made of crystal, and various cables protruded from its surroundings, connecting with the pipelines next to it.Of course, these cables have now been roughly torn by Franke, leaving only a pile of broken threads.

But what caught Fei Lun's attention the most was what was inside the crystal coffin.

"what is that?"

"Probably... a dead body?"

This time, even Snowbird's answer was not very sure. Through the liquid-filled crystal coffin, it could be clearly seen that what was inside should be a corpse—or a mummy, whose flesh and blood had basically disappeared. , only a skeleton remains, and occasionally some wool floating with liquid can be seen on the bones.

"This is not a corpse."

But soon, Franca gave objections.

"I wanted to hack into the mainframe just now, but it turned out that this thing was still alive... Hey, anyway, this is definitely not an electronic program... But it doesn't look like a living person... According to my investigation, this The core system of the mainframe..."

"Boom!"

"Wow!"

As if to verify Franke's words, at this moment, the skeleton trembled suddenly, then stretched out its hand, and hit the surface of the crystal coffin heavily.This just startled Snowbird, who was looking at the mummy with great interest by the crystal coffin, and she hurriedly backed away, staring at the skeleton in front of her in surprise.

"What the hell is this? Acting in a horror movie?"

While screaming, Snowbird raised his hand and aimed at the crystal coffin in front of him. Looking at this scene, Franke opened his mouth, wanting to say something.But before she could say it, she saw the liquid in the crystal coffin solidify and freeze quickly, and was frozen into an ice sculpture together with the moving mummy.And it wasn't until this time that Franke sighed helplessly and continued talking.

"...The core system of this host should be this mummy..."

"so what?"

"I want to say, master, you should be able to use the soul-binding magic to catch this guy out and ask him clearly..."

"Okay, I'll try."

Looking at the mummy that had been frozen into a ghost in front of him, Fei Lun also shrugged.He knew what Franka was talking about. When he was in Ten Towns, Phelan used a trick of shadow magic to bind the soul from a brain, and then obtained information.Looking at it now, this moving bone frame obviously has the same qualifications.

Thinking of this, Fei Lun raised his hand and quickly opened the core of the shadow magic ring. Soon, the power of darkness condensed at his fingertips, and then turned into a beam of light and shot out, passing through the coffin and hitting the bone frame inside. .

Soon, a cold breath emerged, and a translucent figure quietly appeared in front of Faerun, Snowbird and the others.

It was an old man in a suit, his body was trembling, and there was only darkness in his eyes.I saw him trembling and kneeling in front of Fei Lun, whispering.

"Great master...your faithful servant, come to answer your call..."

"Wow."

Seeing this scene, Snowbird whistled immediately, and then she looked at Faerun curiously and surprised.

"Doctor, when did you learn how to conjure gods and ghosts?"

"I recently learned a little Taoism with Taoist Maoshan, and I plan to ascend to immortality when the time is right."

Fei Lun made a nonsense casually, and then looked at the old man in front of him again.

"who are you?"

"I, I'm Harrison Jarrard, I'm a physicist..."

Having said this, the old man paused, and then he looked at his body with a bitter face.

"Once a physicist..."
