Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 401 Reversal of the plot

dead.

At the end of the team, a few unlucky people were cut off by the sudden appearance of an unknown space fetish, and their scarlet intestines flowed to the ground.

Others didn't know what happened, but Su Lun felt the imperceptible spatial fluctuations.

At the moment of the attack just now, his omniscient eye keenly captured the back of the disappearing monster. It was a silver-level monster with a skinned human head. It had a tongue like a sickle, and it identified a name called [Void Aberration Species, Scythe Tongue].

This is a monster that has never appeared before.

This monster is very fast, good at space teleportation, and has a fatal threat to third- and fourth-order professionals. Killing a few low-level slaves is naturally silent.

Su Lun expected the attack, but he also had a doubtful thought in his heart: "It's strange, it's not the old dean who did it, but the weirdness in the laboratory itself?"

He identified just now that the [Scythetongue] monster was the monster that the scientific researcher who died in the experimental accident in "Lab Zero" was transformed into a monster.

Su Lun felt that this should be an accident.

After a while of panic in the crowd, calm was restored.

After all, only a few slaves died, and no one would care about their lives and deaths.

But the team also stopped, and everyone loaded their firearms, showing a very alert look.

Dean Mason looked at the corpse with a sigh in his eyes, and persuaded: "Captain Tadina, I think we'd better not move on. There are a lot of pollutants in this laboratory, even me, Determine what it looks like inside. If it continues like this, I am afraid it will be very detrimental to the safety of the investigation team.”

Hearing this, Major General Tadina was unmoved and interrupted directly: "Go ahead."

The loss of a few slaves is nothing to the major general of the Royal Mechanical Guard.

Dean Mason saw her resolute attitude, then glanced at the corpse on the ground, shook his head and sighed, but couldn't say anything more.

The team continued to move towards the depths of the laboratory.

Some people died in the beginning, which means that there may be more tragic killings in the future.

While Su Lun continued to walk in the team, he was closely watching the old man's every move, and his heart was already ten thousand vigilant.

Those monsters can't kill him, and the only one with a fatal threat at present is this old dean.

But the thoughts in his head were racing, and Su Lun suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He carefully observed Dean Mason's expression.

It stands to reason that since you want to find a place to kill people, you shouldn't persuade the investigation team to turn back.

"Is it a reverse operation? The more you block it, the more people want to go to the depths of the laboratory to find out?"

Su Lun felt that it should be so.

The investigation team went all the way down, encountering monster attacks one after another, and more than ten people died.

But because of their precautions, the group also killed a few sneak attacking monsters.

But overall, there's not much of a risk.

Instead, there are void pollutants in the environment, suggesting a risk of distortion.

Gradually, Su Lun looked at the leader of Dean Mason, and felt more and more wrong in his heart: "It's all so deep, the old man hasn't killed anyone yet, why are you still hesitating?"

Now there are two key figures in this investigation team, one is He Su, a person who has been to the fourth floor of the library, and the other is Major General Tadina, the leader of the team.

Su Lun felt that if he was the old dean, he would definitely try to kill these two people who were trying to get close to the truth.

But the monsters killed several times just now, there should be a good opportunity to fish in troubled waters, but the old dean actually did not act.

This is very confusing.

Intuition tells Su Lun that there seems to be something wrong with the plot he deduced before.

It now appears that a laboratory accident did occur here.

What role did that "Herbert Hirbler" play in the accident?

Although Su Lun is sure that he is still alive, where is this person now?

Just as his thoughts were racing in his mind, that Major General Tadina had ordered her lieutenant to lead a small team of several hundred people to explore every corner of the laboratory.

Gunfire could be heard everywhere, and it was obvious that a monster had also been encountered.

But not too intense.

Explain that the monster is not too strong.

At this time, Su Lun suddenly realized something again, and said to himself, "Oh, that's not right. This woman's purpose is too strong, and the choice of multiple intersections did not show the hesitation and caution that she should have. She seems to have known the experiment in advance. The detailed structure of the room?"

"Lab Zero" has intricate tunnels, many forks, and space restrictions. There was no information in the North Sea Fleet before. Normally, it is not wise to explore an unknown and obviously dangerous area, and rashly divide your troops to explore.

But she, a major-general-level officer with rich combat experience, did so.

That's weird.

"Could it be that they obtained detailed information from the NPC, the head of the investigation team?"

Su Lun felt that was the only possibility.

At the same time, he was even more curious, what exactly was written in the document in the hand of Major General Tadina, which made her insist on coming to this "laboratory zero". What is she looking for?

At this time, the team probably came to the core area of ​​this underground laboratory.

Here is a huge space of several thousand square meters.

As soon as they entered the door, the first thing everyone saw were all kinds of dense instruments, as well as the Void monster materials contained in glassware.

[Void Dragon Lice Skeleton (Silver)], [Black Flash Pterosaur's Demonic Muscle (Gold)], [Dragon Lice's Dark Demon Skin (Dark Gold)], [Rocovalen's Brain (Legendary)], [ Void Mantis' Scythe (Silver)].

The beam of the magic lamp irradiated the past, and the various rare void materials contained in the glassware were all silver at the minimum, as well as gold, dark gold, and even legendary materials.

These things have very strong curse characteristics and are definitely the best void materials for refining alchemy plant equipment, and their value is immeasurable.

Moreover, there are more material materials in several places that are obviously material warehouses.

Although this core area is in a mess, it is obvious that it has experienced a fierce battle, and there is a high probability that there are monsters hidden. But it could not hinder the excitement of these foreign treasure hunters.

As soon as they saw these things, the people of the Royal Mechanical Legion could keep quiet because of military discipline, but the hundreds of slaves rushed in like crazy.

"Hahaha, I got rich this time! With these materials, we can get enough points to get out of slavery."

"Get it! Whoever gets it!"

"This is what I got first! Who the hell wants to rob me, I will kill whoever"

"."

The slaves have gone into a frenzy, excitedly loading various materials and treasures into storage rings.

Large objects that cannot be installed are carried on the back.

These high-quality materials, taken out almost at random, can give them freedom and great wealth. No one could stop their madness at the moment.

Not to mention the slaves who wanted to live out of slavery, even Su Lun felt hot when he saw these things.

Materials are one thing, there are a lot of experimental data, materials, manuscripts, detailed reports of research projects, those are things of immeasurable value.

But when others fell into madness, he became more and more calm.

Along the way, it seems that there is no big danger except for the unfortunate who died.

Moreover, Marfa and these people are acting strangely.

That Major General Tadina did not stop the slaves from robbing things, probably thinking that after going out, they would definitely be confiscated, and they would not be able to flow out.

Seeing this scene, Dean Mason's face was ugly for a while, and it seemed that it was difficult for the investigation team to understand this robbery behavior.

He painstakingly warned everyone: "Lab Zero used to be the research institute where the college's high-risk projects were concentrated. Many dangerous experimental subjects, specimens and materials are sealed here. Be careful, try not to touch, otherwise it may be contaminated. ."

At this moment, Major General Tadina spoke up and made a very strange request: "Dean Mason, please give me first-level management authority, and I will go to the 'T11 experimental area' to investigate the situation."

Upon hearing this, the dean's face changed suddenly, and he quickly responded: "The TII experimental area is very dangerous. There are many high-risk items sealed inside. You can't go!"

Hearing this, Su Lun looked sideways slightly.

This was information he didn't have either, and it was obviously found by Marfa and the others from the investigation team leader's file.

The old man's attitude was very firm. Su Lun thought that Major General Tadina would not insist, but he didn't expect that the woman's attitude was surprisingly tough at the moment.

She took out a sheepskin scroll with the coat of arms of the royal family, and said solemnly: "Our investigation team has its own judgment, and you don't need to remind the President. This is a warrant passed by the parliament, you just give me the authority!"

As soon as these words came out, the dozens of mechanical warriors around her faintly formed a battle formation, a sign that they were about to start.

permissions?

That's the point.

Su Lun squinted at everything in front of him, and said to himself, "It's going to be tough, but where did they get the confidence?"

At the same time, he also felt that the old dean had a good temper. Now that this is the case, why not kill everyone?

Things are going from bad to worse.

The plot that Su Lun originally expected was that the old dean wanted to kill someone, and then the "Bert Hirbley" who was hiding in the laboratory came forward, and the two sides fought hard.

But now that the old man did not attack, what kind of "first-level authority" do these Mafa people want to attack?

Dean Mason's intelligence is very high, almost the same as a real person.

He was about to say something, but at this moment, there was a sound of a door closing in the tunnel.

In order to prevent the leakage of pollution, this "No. 0 laboratory" has set up many defense measures. The corridors are built with particularly strong materials, which can prevent the leakage of energy, and even have special material walls that can prevent spatial displacement.

Su Lun had deliberately observed it before, but his chessboard has the highest authority in the laboratory and can also be opened from the inside. So it didn't matter too much.

But now, someone has activated the mechanism, and the doors slammed shut like lightning.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!".

The sound of closing the door came from far to near, and finally even the several roads in the core area were completely blocked.

Everyone is trapped in these thousands of square meters of laboratories.

Dean Mason looked at the "investigation team" in the imperial capital with an expression of disbelief, and asked, "You... those people just now, did you arrange for them to open the emergency safety device in the laboratory?"

Tadina obviously didn't mention this topic, but she acquiesced.

She emphasized again: "Please cooperate with the dean and give me the authority!"

Dean Mason didn't understand why she had to take the authority. He was stunned for a moment. He suddenly realized something. The blood on his face suddenly turned pale, and the majesty of a strong man burst out in an instant, shouting angrily: "Oh my God. , do you know what you are doing! This stupid behavior may even bring devastating disasters to the empire and the entire plane!"

After a pause, he had an angry and sad expression on his face, and added: "I finally only know why it brought you to the 'Experimental Base Zero', so that's what it is! Hey. You've been fooled."

Su Lun had never seen the old man so complacent before, and his heart thumped.

He finally realized that things were not what he expected.

People like Marfa are determined to ask for that "authority", and it seems that they want to do something big.

Suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind, and Su Lun finally understood why the time eruption of "Void Invasion" was different, and he said in his heart, "No! The clues left by 'Herbert Hirbore' are themselves something wrong!"

Su Lun looked at the excited attitude of the dean, and immediately realized that he was misled by the clues in the notebook, and Marfa and these guys were also misled by the clues in the file!

This old man is not the evil villain he expected at all!

At least, this guy never meant to kill the investigation team from beginning to end.

Su Lun quickly analyzed in his mind: "According to the intelligence, if the investigation team does not interfere, those NPCs will enter the plane passage every time. And shortly after entering, the 'Void Invasion' will break out. Therefore, the monsters invaded the academy. The real fuse is the fact that the investigation team entered the No. 0 laboratory!"

"Now the file of the investigation team has been cut off by the people like Mafa. They got the information and they went straight to it! There must be some special information in the file that points to this place, so that the people like Mafa can find the emergency in the laboratory. The safety device shuts down, making this move now."

Su Lun wanted to understand some causal relationships.

But at this moment, Major General Tadina waved his hand, "Do it!"

With this order, the group of mechanical warriors behind her suddenly took out strange firearms, and when they fired, a blue electric arc network condensed in the air.

This is the cursed space, and it is not the real world. Those people like Marfa don't have so many scruples.

Killing monsters and capturing treasures and breaking the cursed space is the ultimate goal.

Su Lun could have reacted in advance, but after seeing the identified situation, he immediately chose to stay.

[Particle Energy Arc Gun], this gun has no lethality, and its only use is to disturb the energy in the area, making it difficult for people to condense alchemy. This is a great weapon for mechanical warriors to restrain traditional alchemists from casting spells.

These guys trapped the old dean here, limited the spatial displacement, and used this high-tech, obviously to ambush him!

"These guys are really going to kill this dean."

Su Lun also understood their plan.

In the entire Void Alchemy Academy, there is only the confined environment of this laboratory, and it is possible to kill this old man who can move freely in space.

Although he hasn't fully understood the cause and effect of the incident, he will never let Marfa and the others kill the old dean!

But when Su Lun was about to start, a strange scene appeared.

The few waves of people who left before opened some emergency safety devices, not only closed the door, but also released a very terrifying monster.

At this moment, a strange creature made of black lines, like a slimy monster in a sketch, emerged from the gap in the floor, and then formed a terrifying void monster nearly ten meters high in front of everyone.

Su Lun watched helplessly as the monster transformed from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, with a look of shock in his eyes.

【Ultimate Aberration of Void Ditropes】

Detailed Explanation: Herbert Hirbley fuses the aberration monster that the god-level void mother worm's marrow fluid becomes. It is a void monster that has a random transformation between two-dimensional and three-dimensional forms. It has the ability to reduce three-dimensional objects into two dimensions, which is extremely dangerous; it is also the 'mother worm' of the Void Zerg, which can activate telepathy and summon billions of Void Zerg.

"Space dimensionality reduction?"

Su Lun was also surprised when he saw the identified ability.

It turns out that the space law is not only about teleportation and confinement, but also the ability to reduce dimensionality, which can be called a "magic skill".

But that doesn't matter anymore.

He looked at the word "Mother Insect" and thought of the actions of Mafa and the others, and then he suddenly realized: "I finally understand that 'Void Invasion' is a conspiracy directed and acted by Herbert himself from beginning to end! In order to attract the investigation team, let it out, and then kill the dean by the way, seize the authority, and completely open the void plane channel."

"But... why did he do this?"

Su Lun thought about the words in the notes, and it didn't look like a small composition.

Then Herbert Hirbler is an alchemist who loves the world, and there is no anti-human tendency in the text.

Moreover, if you really want to write misleading clues, you don't need to hide it so deeply.

"By the way, he was already distorted when he wrote this note! Part of the content in the note is true, and part of it may have been written under his distorted mental will after his mental distortion."

Su Lun thought of this and suddenly understood everything, "Herbert knew that the distortion could not be reversed, so he reported to the academy and put himself in 'Lab Zero'. At that time, human will dominated. After the complete distortion, the monster The will dominates, and it knows that it has no hope of escaping. So it can only use this excuse to attract the Imperial Capital Investigation Team!"

After this monster appeared, the tentacles on its head kept vibrating, as if sending out some kind of biological signal. The next moment, the laboratory suddenly shook violently like an earthquake.

The Void Invasion broke out as expected!

"That's how it erupted."

Su Lun narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched the completely reversed plot in front of him.

The safest option is to run away while the two bosses are fighting, but all the opportunities here have to be given up.

Moreover, the plot of the cursed space will follow the original direction, and there is a high probability that it will not be broken.

Su Lun's mind raced as he quickly assessed the risks of various options.

He found that things didn't seem so bad.

Although the process can be guessed differently, the ending is the same, at least the two big bosses are on the front bar.

This allows Su Lun's original plan for the second half to be applied as well.

It just seems that what he wants to help kill now is the two-dimensional monster, not the old dean.

He chose to stay.

At this time, the old dean looked at the monster in front of him and knew that the matter was irreversible, his face was full of bitterness, and he muttered to himself: "Herbert used to be my best friend, and he was also the most talented alchemist in the college for hundreds of years. Warlock. But he was tainted and distorted because he was researching some very dangerous projects. I always wanted to help him restrain him, but the will of the distorted monster gradually thought that I was going to kill him, and he became more withdrawn, suspicious and surly In the end, the distortion became uncontrollable, and he completely turned into a monster. And this monster has the 'two-way force of the void', I can't kill it, I can only seal it in laboratory zero."

After speaking, he glanced at the group of Marfa: "Hey, you have made a big disaster!"
