The Steady Mage in the Pirate World

In the end, Kong Ming still didn't think of any good way to solve the password lock.

But the door was still opened. To be precise, after Arrita hit the door three or four times with her stick, although the password was still a problem, this very high-tech door was no longer a problem. . The price was that the camouflaged stones posted outside the door fell to the ground, and the main body of the steel plate inside had been completely deformed, which made Kong Ming feel a little distressed.

This prodigal bitch, everything belongs to her from now on, why would she do such a cruel thing?

Inside the door is a quite spacious hall. Judging from the furnishings in the hall, it should be a place similar to a reception desk. The reason why it is said to be similar to a reception is entirely because the ancient writings posted in this hall indicate that Kong Ming does not recognize them.

There are several doors and two corridors on the left and right around the hall. Because there are no windows, the entire hall looks eerie. Judging from the dust on the floor and furniture, no one has been here for a long time.

Kong Ming found a row of buttons on the wall next to the door that he didn't know what they were for. They were probably power switches. However, for safety reasons, Kong Ming still planned to use a lighting technique first. As for the functions of these buttons, he could slowly Study further.

The light is on

"Alita, what are you doing?"

"Turn on the lights." Arrita, who didn't know when she appeared next to Kong Ming and pressed all the buttons, looked at him with confusion, "Boss, don't you think it's too dark in here? Can’t you even see it?”

"Do you know what these buttons are for? Just press them randomly. What if there is a self-destruct button in this place?" The eyes under the glasses were piercing, as if to make Arrita feel her mistake.

"Don't worry, boss, everything is under control." He slapped his chest and the waves surged.

Kong Ming covered his face with his hands. He felt that he needed to be quiet now, "Arrita, send a signal to the ship and ask some people to come over and clean this place. This will be our territory from now on."

"Oh oh oh"

"I asked you to call someone to clean the house. What are you doing there?"

"Boss, come here and take a look." Arrita stood at the door of a door on the left side of the hall. "It's so scary."

Although what he said was scary, Kong Ming couldn't see any other expression from Arrita's excited face except one of eagerness to try.

"What's going on?" Kong Ming also walked over curiously, holding his hands on his glasses as he walked, adding a shield to himself against physical attacks. In addition to the shield he had opened to isolate the surrounding air after Arrita broke the door open, Kong Ming already had two shields on his body.

After thinking about it, it was still not safe, so Kong Ming activated another anti-magic stance.

There is no way. Now Kong Ming is in the process of exploring ancient ruins. This is very dangerous. Maybe the rooms here contain things like T-virus. As we all know, people who play biochemical experiments have a dirty mind. They don't do research on Viagra or something to benefit all mankind. Instead, they go on and on, desperately studying viruses, and spend all day thinking about how to destroy the world.

As the only mage in the entire pirate world, Kong Ming shoulders the important responsibility of promoting arcane knowledge in this world. For the brighter future of the entire pirate world, it is very important to protect yourself.

"What did you see that was scary?" Kong Ming walked behind Arrita and stopped, looking through the door opened by Arrita.

The conscience of heaven and earth, the reason why Kong Ming adopted this posture was entirely because Arrita blocked the door, and he absolutely had no intention of using Arrita as a human shield to worry about any danger in the room.

Is Kong Ming the kind of person who uses his partners as human shields?

Inside the door is a small fan-shaped room. Judging from the furnishings, it should be a place like a lounge. There are cabinets, a bed, and a few posters of celebrities on the wall. After removing these ordinary-looking furnishings, all that was left were mummies, crisscrossed and crisscrossed. Kong Ming counted at least seven or eight of them.

What makes people feel frightened is that at the moment of death, these mummies were all facing the direction where Arrita and Kong Ming were. Although their skin and flesh had been weathered, Kong Ming could still see from the faces of these mummies. The fear they felt before they died.

"In other words, these people didn't know why they gathered in this room, and then the door opened." Kong Ming held his glasses and analyzed secretly in his mind, "Something that made these people feel scared appeared in front of the door, and then a In an instant, all these people died, so that their frightened expressions did not fade away.”

"Oh, oh, boss, there are no wounds on their bodies, and there is no blood on the ground." Arrita circled around the first mummy standing at the door, "There is only one truth."

Arrita waved her hand decisively, "They were scared to death."

Kong Ming pushed up his glasses. Since Arrita said this, it means that it is definitely not the truth to be frightened to death in an instant. So how did these people die? Is it because they were poisoned, just like the poisonous gas in the concentration camps on earth? It was like a room, and the people who died in it also had frightened faces.

Kong Ming took another look at the door opened by Arrita. It was a very ordinary wooden door that could be kicked open with one kick. This means that these people definitely did not die in a way similar to the gas chambers of concentration camps. Could it be that these people were poisoned with a hallucinogenic poison that not only poisoned them but also brought fear to them?

"Don't destroy these things yet." Kong Ming grabbed Arrita, who was about to use a stick to forcefully dissect the mummy, "It's so dirty, you go out first, send a signal to the people on the ship to come over, and take the cleaning staff with you. Things, clean this place first.”

"Okay, boss" Arrita agreed easily this time.

Before his crew members rushed here, Kong Ming roughly checked all the rooms on this floor. Seven or eight of the rooms contained such horrified mummies. Taken together, there were more than thirty people. .

To be honest, with the deserted research institute and the horribly dead mummies, Kong Ming couldn’t help but wonder if he had time-traveled into some horror movie.

"On the first floor, excluding lounges, warehouses, and offices, there are about four to five rooms that may be research rooms. Each research room can accommodate four researchers, plus office clerks. "As for the cleaning and security personnel," Kong Ming calculated secretly, which meant that basically everyone on the first floor of the research institute was dead, and the manner of death was exactly the same.

As for how these people died, although Kong Ming didn't have any clue, he didn't care much about the truth of what happened in this research institute. Not surprisingly, these dead people should be scientists who conducted research on this island during the Great Kingdom.

Generally speaking, if such evil happened in the institute, it would be impossible for the great kingdom not to send people to investigate, but these mummies showed no sign of being moved. That means that when these people died, the superiors of the great kingdom or the research institute had completely ignored these people, and no one knew that this place existed after that.

There is only one point in time that satisfies this situation, and that is the Lost Hundred Years, when the present world government replaced the Great Kingdom. If Kong Ming's estimate is correct, then these people have been dead for at least 800 years. Even if they were murdered, the crime was committed at least 800 years ago.

Even criminal cases have passed the prosecution period eight lifetimes ago.

What could Kong Ming do even if he found out how these people died? Could it be that Kong Ming could still find a place to dig the murderer's grave?

"Boss, boss!" Just when Kong Ming was about to find the stairs and go to the second floor of the research institute, he heard Arrita's shout. When he looked up, he found that a certain bastard was standing there. Standing in front of a door, waving to himself and jumping up and down. "Here here"

Every time he sees such lively Arrita, Kong Ming always feels that she is not suitable for eating slippery fruits. The animal type dog fruit, the husky form is more suitable for her, at least it is more suitable for her now.

But there’s no telling. Arrita is already very lively now. If another Husky fruit is added to the mix, Kong Ming is worried that this idiot will die if he doesn’t demolish the door and replaces the load-bearing wall. It’s unclear.

Alas, I keep such a guy with me all the time. What a contribution I have made to the entire East China Sea.

"What did you find again?" Kong Ming walked to Arrita's side and pushed up his glasses with his hand.

"Look, boss." Arrita slapped the door in front of her twice as if she was offering a treasure, "If I slap it so hard, the door won't open, right? Then I'll give it to you. You did a magic trick, oh oh oh, why did it open?"

"Because I saw the button to open the door." Kong Ming knocked on the side of the door with his hand.

"Oh oh oh, boss, you are so sharp, you discovered this little secret so quickly." Arrita didn't seem to be frustrated at all, and still said confidently, "Look, boss, there is a small house inside." , empty, with nothing, then I go in, you close the door outside, and after a minute, you open the door again, and you will find out."

"The little house is empty. You ran upstairs or downstairs."

"Oh oh oh how do you know it again, boss?" Arrita was really surprised this time, with the word incredible written in her two big eyes.

Because I recognized it as an elevator at a glance.

Now Kong Ming really admires the science and technology of the ancient kingdom hundreds of years ago. Hundreds of years ago, people were able to produce high-tech things such as elevators, robots, laser weapons, etc. As a result, hundreds of thousands of years have almost passed, and people in the pirate world have degenerated into using muskets.

However, Kong Ming thought about the robots that appeared in the anime and imitated the Shichibu Sea Bear, as well as the laser weapons used by the robots, intelligent query systems and other things, and felt that the technology in the current pirate world is actually quite powerful. .

Well, the pirate world is a world where the technology tree grows all over the place.

This research institute has a total of nine floors. This is the information Kong Ming got from the elevator button. Although Kong Ming did not recognize the words on the button, he could tell from the arrangement of the buttons. For example, the button that is currently lit may be a layer, then the five buttons below it represent the negative one to negative five layers, and the three buttons above it represent the second to fourth floors.

It's pretty good, at least the elevator buttons are arranged in the same way as on Earth.

Although this research institute may have many valuable things, Kong Ming has not forgotten what his true purpose is.

In Kong Ming's perception, the dancing magic power, which looked like a flame or a fountain, was right below him. Judging from the distance, it should be on the negative second floor.

Pressing the button for the negative second floor and the button to close the door, the elevator that had not been running for eight hundred years started to operate again. The speed was not very fast. At least Kong Ming did not feel that it was very fast, because now he could clearly see He felt his heart beating hard. In just two floors, his heart seemed to beat dozens of times.

With a ding, the elevator door slowly slid open to the left and right.
