Signed: Matteo Sikura"

……

"That's right!" Roy took out the previous receipt and compared it, and said excitedly, "This teacher and the buyer of the golem are the same person. Renius W. Steingard, this Owner of the secret laboratory!"

"The key to open that door must be on him!"

"Calm down, boy..." Serrit immediately poured a bucket of cold water on it, "We searched all over this place, except for this research note, and a dead demon spirit. We couldn't even find a mouse, let alone a key." !"

"Maybe that mage has abandoned the entire laboratory long ago and hid somewhere."

"In the end, I have to get some explosives to blow up the laboratory!"

"No! Since you have encountered a demon spirit... it means that there should be a dead body nearby..." Lei Suo said with confidence.

"Sorry, there are no remains..." Owl suddenly walked up to a statue and took a closer look. On the pillar, there was actually a small movable lever. "But I've found some mechanism."

The cat eagle gently pulled the lever down.

"Im--Im--"

The ground shook and dust overflowed.

The tall stone sculpture that was originally facing everyone responded immediately and rotated [-] degrees clockwise.

"Adjust their orientation correctly, and you should be able to get the answer...the skeleton and the key!"

"Sneaky warlocks like to do these troublesome things. What are you waiting for?" The hooded witcher went straight to the westernmost lever, "Let Master Oakes solve this puzzle!"

"Idiot! Mathematics idiot!" Serrit smiled disdainfully, "Do you know how many possible combinations there are, even if you spend three days and three nights, you can't try them all!"

Roy glanced at the words, and there were seven statues in a circle, each with four orientations.

"This means that the probability is, four to the seventh power..."

Roy's heart skipped a beat, "More than 6000 possibilities!"

Everyone's face changed greatly.

"So what? To survive the grass trial, the most we need is time!" Oakes rubbed his nose, quickly recovered his fighting spirit, chose a statue at random, and started to pull the mechanism, "Even if you use the most stupid method, how many It’s better to spend some time trying each of them than to stand still and just complain!”

"Wait, idiot! You don't mark something? I can guarantee that it will be all messed up in less than a hundred times, and start all over again!" Serrit began to cooperate with his brothers tacitly, and Fliers walked over to help.

A fire burns in the chest,

He had to unlock the mechanism, open the laboratory, and meet the cat-pie demon hunter Roy had foreseen.

……

And Roy stood where he was, his eyes turned, lost in thought.

He only remembered that there was a laboratory under the Temple Island, but the mechanism's solution had long been vague.

"Little devil, come and help me!"

"This research note... Lei Suo, I remember that water ghosts are obviously immune to toxicity," the young demon hunter asked a strange question. He didn't intend to turn the mechanism mechanically, and there must be some kind of trick, "Why inject it?" After tetrodotoxin, will you be in a coma and die?"

"I'm not a warlock, and I haven't done such detailed experiments, but as far as I know, the poison in puffer fish is different from other poisons. It is a kind of neurotoxin, the most toxic in nature, and its mechanism of action is similar to other poisons. Toxins are completely different."

"Tetrodotoxin will not corrode or damage flesh and blood directly. After being absorbed, it will act on the nervous system of living things and paralyze the nerves, causing them to lose all mobility and thus die..."

"Even if it is a water ghost, there are nerves in its body."

"I see."

The bald man patiently explained the science, and cooperated with the three companions to pull the lever.

And Roy repeatedly flipped through the receipt and the research note, and searched the entire room twice.

Got nothing.

"Roy, as a junior, you actually sit back and watch your seniors do their coolies. If you continue to be lazy," Oakes threatened, "If you crack the mechanism and find something valuable, it will be privately owned. Don't even think about confiscating it!"

Roy shook his head and smiled, and only took the ridicule as a deaf ear, muttering to himself, "With such a complicated mechanism, is it possible that the researcher only memorizes the answer?"

"There should be some kind of reminder?"

But both documents have been read.

The place was also searched.

"Have I overlooked something?"

What is not being used?

He closed his eyes and filtered all the experiences after entering the cave again.

Two minutes later, he suddenly opened his eyes, and the dark gold pupils shone with a strange look.

"Could it be that sentence—"

On the stone tablet, there is a strange ancient saying!

"To stare into the abyss is to be flattered."

Staring—these seven stone sculptures look expressionless, don't they seem to be staring at something?

Then I should turn the statues so that they face the so-called abyss to unlock the mechanism.

But what does the abyss refer to?

Roy looked around. Apart from the statue, there were no notable features on the four walls of the entire room, which were full of bumps and holes, which conformed to the meaning of the abyss.

So--

He passed the busy four witchers.

Enter the center around the statue, a circular clearing.

Squat down and tap your fingers on the marble floor.

"Bang, bang..."

Below is empty.

"Guys, stop!" Roy stood up suddenly, "I think, I know the answer to the mechanism!"

……

2 minute later.

With the joint efforts of the five demon hunters, all the statues were adjusted to face the central area.

"Crack-"

After the crisp sound.

The circular marble slabs slowly opened to the sides, revealing a deep pool.

The light was dim, and there was something faintly moving under the dark water, and ripples appeared on the surface of the water.

"The so-called abyss originally refers to this pool!"

"We are old, our thinking is rigid, and we are still young people with bright minds." Oakes patted Roy's shoulder appreciatively, sketched with five fingers, and quickly put on the Kunn seal.

Gearing up, raised his chin towards the pool, waved his hand,

"What are you waiting for, guys, let's go fuck the mother!"

"Pfft..."

"Pfft..."

The water splashed everywhere, and three snake factions entered the water one after another.

Fliers and Serrit stayed outside to prevent accidents.

"Grumbling..."

The surface of the water rolled, and huge bubbles appeared one after another.

Less than ten seconds.

The five-headed water ghost showed its pale belly and died.

Because of the thoughtfulness of the Snake faction comrades, Roy gained another [-] experience points.

Demon Hunter Lv7 (1340/4500)

Then, he dragged a skeleton wrapped in tattered cloth onto the shore.

"Human Skeletons"

Even after being dead for a long time, some magical energy still lingers on the bones.

There is a high probability that he was a spellcaster during his lifetime.

"Is this dead bone at the bottom of the pool the owner of the laboratory, Irenius wa Steingard, or his student and assistant, Matteo Sikura?" Roy was full of doubts.

"What's the matter? Anyway, I got the key... It's time to go and see the trapped cat brother!" Oakes squeezed the rusty iron key from the skeleton, his face full of excitement.

"But how did this guy die?"

"The bones are full of teeth gnawing marks," Serrit picked up a tibia, thinking, "For some reason, it fell into the pool and was swallowed by the water ghost."

No matter which teacher or student the dead body is, water ghosts have been used to carry out various cruel living experiments, such as tetrodotoxin experiments.

Have you ever thought that you will become the dish of the experimental subjects?

Staring into the abyss, is it flattering?

Just don't know whether the soul after death is lifted to hell or heaven? !

"That's not a good sign."

Oakes strutting like poetry,

"The engineer was crushed by the golem he repaired himself, and the researcher was devoured by the research object. So, will the demon hunter die under the claws of the monster?"

Everyone felt creepy.

"Shut your crow's mouth!" Serrit snatched the key.

"Go, open the door!"

Chapter 19 The Most Painful

outside the laboratory door.

The braziers on both sides were blazing, illuminating a few figures standing proudly.

"Guys, before I open this door, I have to say a few words... According to what I foresee, the demon hunter friend in the laboratory is in a very strange state. He is full of murderous looks, and his pupils are like red lightning! From inside , I don’t see any calmness and reason at all.”

Roy stared at the slightly nervous face of the cat vulture, and sighed, "I think he has lost his self-awareness and cannot distinguish friend from foe. Once he finds us, he may launch an attack and never stop dying."

"You mean, the clerk at the door has become a lunatic?" The rusty iron key froze in front of the keyhole. Oakes thought for a while,

"You can't restore him to normal? What's your hunch?"

"Sorry, I can't be sure, but the possibility of recovery is unlikely..." Roy looked embarrassed. In his memory, the same kind behind the door had become a weird and terrifying figure after being tortured. biology.

Compared with humans, it seems to belong to another species!

The dark gold pupils turned to the right, "Cowling, do you have any suggestions?"

The Maopai witcher, who was leaning his face against the door, closed his eyes and listened, took a deep breath, and suddenly clenched his fists.

"Actually, the picture you mentioned is very similar to the aftereffects of Qingcao decoction. I lost control of my emotions and fell into madness for a while... There is a possibility of recovery..."

"And we have five people here, and he has only one. With five enemies and one, he can be easily restrained. How about making a decision at that time?"

"Well, let's give it a try." The bald man looked at his companions, and everyone nodded, "But the ugly words are up front. If the situation is not right, we will definitely give priority to self-protection! I hope you can understand."

"As it should be!"

"Then later, let's use the seal to restrict his movements, and then tie him up with a rope for inspection!"

Roy took out a few lengths of forearm-thick cables from the trophy package, tied them carefully, and distributed one to each person.

"Crack-"

Door open.

Five people poured into a fairly spacious hall. Looking around, the entire hall was clearly divided into two areas.

The right side belongs to the living and experimental area.
