Chapter 19: Mechanical Towers (2)
It was actually a statue of a tiger lying on the ground on all fours, the size of which was exactly the size of a palm. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Clams? It's just a stone tiger!" When Fumizaki saw it, she was a little disappointed, she thought that Yan Feng should come up with something rarer or more precious, but it didn't, "Is this stone statue really worth risking your life to change it?"
"Yan Feng, this shouldn't be the talisman used by the ancient general to give orders, right?" Xia Cen looked at him thoughtfully.
"I'm guessing, it's very likely." Yan Feng himself wasn't sure if it was true or not.
"But I haven't seen half a person here, so where can I send a soldier?" Chen Yu continued.
"And, since we've come in, we don't seem to see anything other than a dazzling array of weapons." Even Fumizaki felt strange.
"For no reason, he gave us so many weapons," Xia Cen didn't understand, "What is the intention?"
"Yes, this time the situation is different from the past, although no trace of the demon has been found, there are many hidden mysteries everywhere," Yan Feng frowned tightly: "For a while, I can't say, I always feel that this place seems to be more difficult to deal with than the previous situation, everyone must be careful."
"Ah, could it be that someone suddenly found out with his conscience and knew that we had a hard time dealing with demons, so he specially prepared these powerful weapons so that we could easily deal with those demons in the future?" Fumisaki said whimsically.
"Fumizaki, you're thinking too much," Xia Cen almost fainted when he heard this, "If someone really has such a good heart, they won't use drastic means every day at dawn to force us to leave the church, fall into the trap set by the devil, and fight them."
"Ha, that's right," Fumizaki scratched his hair embarrassedly and stuck out his tongue again, "I'm sorry, I didn't say it!"
"Oh, anyway, it's right to be careful, it's useless to talk about it now, let's be practical, let's find a way to get out first." Chen Yu then spoke.
In the middle of the tower there is a spiral staircase that leads directly to the top. The four men climbed up in order.
When you get to the second floor, it's like you're at a dead end.
There are four gates, which are arranged in four directions, east, west, north and south, and are arranged around the spiral staircase facing the middle.
Other than that, there is nothing else.
"It's really hateful, this is clearly not letting the family escape!" Fumizaki grumbled dissatisfiedly.
"Of course," Chen Yu continued, "Be careful, don't take it lightly."
"There are four gates here, what do you think is better to do now?" Yan Feng asked everyone.
"It's better to be responsible for one door per person, so that you can save a lot of time exploring." Fumisaki proposed.
"Chen Yu, what do you think?" Yan Feng asked him.
"Fumizaki, you're on your own, is it really okay?" Chen Yu was a little worried.
"Well, don't look at my bloated body, but I'm very flexible?" Fumizaki patted his chest, his face full of confidence, "Besides, each room is so close, if something happens, you can come over and help immediately."
"That's right," Chen Yu agreed, and then turned to her and asked, "What do you mean by ..... Xia Cen?"
"Heh, I'm not as weak as you think," Xia Cen was originally very confident, but suddenly thought of the situation that he had been rescued all the way, and hesitated again, "Hmm...... It should be fine, right?"
"Are you sure?" Yan Feng looked incredulous.
"Hey, it's rude, what's your expression?" Xia Cen was provoked by him, "I'll also grow up, okay?"
"Wow, the tigress has decided to exert her might," Chen Yu winked at her, then turned to Yan Feng and said, "You just let her try, anyway, it's so close, we can go over and support it right away."
"If you really think it's OK, then I don't have anything to say." Only then did Yan Feng agree.
"Okay, so now, ladies first, which door do you choose?" Chen Yu continued, "After choosing, we will each stand in front of the door, and then open the door and go in together."
After speaking, everyone silently walked to the door they chose and stood up.
"I'll shout one, two, three, and everyone will open the door together." Chen Yu announced loudly.
"One, two, three, open!" Four people turned the handle at the same time and walked into the room at the same time.
As soon as Xia Cen stepped into the room, a strong and pungent smell of potion greeted his nose.
A long, large metal table sits directly in the center of the room.
On the table, there are also a lot of special conical transparent glass bottles for laboratories. Some of these bottles already contain some seemingly thick unknown liquid, which comes in four colors: red, blue, black, and purple.
There are about a dozen bottles of liquid.
Coincidentally, there happened to be a glass bottle of liquid in red, blue, black, and purple, which was constantly bubbling at the moment, and a little white smoke was wafting from the mouth of the bottle.
To the right of the metal table, there is a desk with several books stacked on top of each other and a microscope next to it.
Xia Cen walked directly towards the desk without thinking. Reaching out and picking up the books stacked on the table, he flipped through them at random.
I went through all the books in one go, and I didn't find anything.
The content of the book is almost all about the clinical trial records of research. Other than that, there is nothing else.
Xia Cen put down the book in his hand, looked around and touched it to the east and west.
Except for the unidentified objects on the metal table that emitted white smoke, and she never touched them, she had touched almost everything in the room that was within her reach.
In the end, only the large iron cabinet in the far corner of the room remained.
She walked over to it, stood in front of it, and looked at it carefully.
The cabinet was about one meter seven high, and Xia Cen lifted both hands outward at the same time, unexpectedly, the door of the iron cabinet was easily opened.
The layout inside is simply three metal partitions to divide the inside of the iron cabinet into four layers.
There are many small sealed glass jars on each floor, and the entire iron cabinet is occupied by small glass jars.
The jar was filled with a seemingly thick and bright colored liquid.
"Wow, that's beautiful!" Xia Cen stared at the dizzying glass jar in front of him and couldn't help but exclaim.
When you're ready to reach for it.
"Don't touch it." Suddenly, a voice rang in her ears.
"Who?" Xia Cen was startled, immediately retracted his hand, and looked around in a panic, trying to find out the source of the sound. "Who's talking?"
After waiting for a while, the man's voice that sounded in my ears just now did not appear again.
"Phew, I'm really scared of myself," Xia Cen exhaled heavily, comforting himself, "Isn't it because I was so nervous just now that I had auditory hallucinations? Yes, it must be so, there is nothing but me hereβ."
"Who said that?" The deep male voice rang in her ears again.
"Ahh
Suddenly, there was a "bang", and the door of the room was forcefully opened.
"Xia Cen, are you alright?" Yan Feng and the three of them rushed in with a worried face.
"Huh?" Xia Cen turned around and asked with a puzzled expression, "Why did you suddenly come here?"
"Besides," Fumizaki was the first to say, "I don't know who just shouted so loudly?"
"Clams?" Xia Cen innocently pointed to himself, "The person you are talking about shouldn't mean me, right?"
"Is there anyone else here besides you?" Chen Yu continued.
"What the hell is going on?" Yan Feng didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly.
"Haha, because there was no one next to me just now, but I heard someone talking in my ears, and I was startled by accident," Xia Cen laughed dryly, "However, it's okay now!"
"Are you really okay?" Yan Feng was still very skeptical, "Are you sure?"
"It's true," Xia Cen nodded vigorously, "that voice hasn't been heard since the three of you rushed in."
"Well, it's okay," Chen Yu was relieved to hear her say this, and then asked, "Aside from this, have you found anything else special or strange?"
"Yes, look at this." Xia Cen pointed to the small glass bottle in the iron cabinet and showed them.
"Wow, it's so cute~" When Wenqi saw it, he immediately wanted to reach out and take it, but was slapped hard by Chen Yu.
"No, bad habits," Chen Yu reprimanded, "In case there is poison in it, if you touch it casually like this, you will be tricked immediately."
"When I was downstairs just now, that hunting knife was too, and now it's again," Chen Yu continued, "Fumiki, if you don't change this bad habit, it's really possible that your life will be lost at any time."
"You liar, how can you be so serious," Fumizaki opened his eyes wide, "Isn't our enemy just demons? Why do you have to be careful with everything around you?"
"Chen Yu is right," Yan Feng also came out to speak, "Only by taking precautions before they happen, can we minimize the harm when a real crisis arises."
"Well, Fumiki, the two of them are quite right," Xia Cen nodded, and explained bitterly, "Soldiers are not tired of deceit, and sometimes, the enemy will take advantage of human curiosity to attract you to approach, and then set a trap behind you, and when you touch something, it may be fatal."
"Well, since everyone said so, I'll be careful not to do it again next time," Fumizaki assured everyone. "I'm sorry to worry you."
"Okay, let's get down to business, these little colorful glass jars really look a little weird." Chen Yu approached and glanced at them several times, then looked at Yan Feng.
"Do you think we should take some back and study them?" Chen Yu asked him.
"Research what?" Yan Feng casually asked, "Ingredients? Or is it a constituent molecule?"
"Hmm...... I don't know about that," Chen Yu didn't know what to do for a while, "I just had a simple instinct, and I just thought this thing was weird."
"That...... If you just feel weird and don't feel any danger," Xia Cen was silent for a long time, "Well, it's better to have more than one thing, so let's ignore them, how about it?"
"I'm for it." Yan Feng nodded.
"I'm for it too." Fumizaki nodded as well.
"Looks like everyone thinks the same way, oh yes," Xia Cen nodded, and then asked, "How is the situation over there with the three of you?"
