Angus was silent.

During Angus's coma, Lin An had already searched and learned about the inner workings of this secret research institute.

This secret research institute is located halfway up a mountain peak not far from the location of the portal, and the main body is wedged into the interior of the mountain range, and is divided into three levels: one on the outside and two on the ground.

Among them, the layer exposed outside the rock formation is used for disguise and defense, and there are many magic arrays to monitor the situation near the mountain peak at all times; The first basement floor is the living area and activity area, and the second basement floor is the area where the real yàn monsters are held and the real yàn is carried out, and the energy center, warehouse and other functional buildings are also located on this floor.

Because there are no architectural drawings, some detection spells of the prophecy system cannot be cast in this sub-plane, Lin An suspects that there may be hidden building layers underground according to the structure of the building, but it is impossible to determine.

However, only from this basically fully functional research institute, Lin An can already see a lot of things.

Angus, who had just woken up and had not yet figured out the changes around him, probably also thought of this, and knew that many of the things he was hiding might have been exposed when Lin An successfully invaded this research institute, and in the face of Lin An's inquiry, he was silent for a short time before replying:

"That's right, this was supposed to be an important base in my plans."

The institute cannot be entered without his blood and spiritual power, and a forcible invasion will also start the self-destruction procedure, for this sub-plane that cannot be found by outsiders, it is more than enough to guard against some local demonic beasts.

The problem is that Angus didn't expect that he would fall into the hands of Lin An one day, and he took the initiative to introduce Lin An into this sub-plane.

Closing the book on his lap, Lin An fell into his own thoughts, as if he thought of something.

Her left hand on one armrest supported her face, and her right hand rested on the other armrest, her fingers tapping lightly, as if she was sure that the institute was safe.

This kind of steadfastness and composure did not correspond to her situation in the next era, and being trapped in this subplane did not seem to make her feel anxious, so this situation would in turn cause pressure on Angus.

Yellow wall lights poured down from the side, and from Angus's point of view, half of her perfect side face was hidden in the darkness, and her dark eyes were like stars, which seemed to contain palpitating wisdom.

"How long have I been unconscious?" Angus's eyes flickered, breaking the silence.

"About thirteen magic hours." After coming back to his senses, Lin An replied.

There is no night in the standard sense of the word, and the light does not change much, so it is impossible to express time in terms of normal day and night. But during this period of time, when the sky outside had been darkened with seven or eight magics, Lin An, who had already seen another sub-plane, was very receptive to this.

Except for some weakness and dizziness and intense hunger, Angus did not feel the physical pain, which shows that Lin An finally cast a spell to save him.

According to the normal situation, he would not be in a coma for so long, Angus vetoed the possibility of being in a coma, such as drugs, then the culprit is undoubtedly the effect of the divine magic array on the ceiling that extracts spiritual power, which also means that Lin An found this research institute that he hid very early on and put him in this cage.

Angus knew more about the laws of this subplane than Lin An: whether it was detection spells or divine spells, it was almost impossible to cast them here;

He also didn't think that Lin An could happen to find this place from the edge of another mountain, but judging from the previous conversation, Lin An did not intend to explain the reason for finding this place, and Angus wisely did not ask, but opened another topic, one that was closely related to their current situation:

"So, if I'm not mistaken, the portal is closed?"

Unexpectedly, this prison is a cage for Angus, but this sub-plane is not a cage for Lin An, so Angus has not completely fallen into a passive disadvantage, both psychologically and practically, and he will definitely mention this.

Lin An smiled slightly, keenly catching another layer of his meaning, "You mean, the closing and opening of the portal has a time pattern?" ”

Angus remained unmoved, "While the authority is still in this sub-plane. Of course, he won't answer directly and clearly, the rules of the portal, the less Lin An grasps the better.

"That's why you're still alive."

Of course, Lin An knew Angus's thoughts, but he didn't plan to give Angus the opportunity to take the initiative:

This is a psychological game, and she is completely sharp enough to suppress Angus's arrogance and keep his heart suppressed.

She immediately ended the conversation, narrowed her eyes slightly, and her spiritual power rolled up a piece of magic crystal on the side, wedged the cutting standard magic crystal into the core groove of a magic array next to her.

Angus felt the speed of mental power extraction increase dramatically, and soon there was a wave of dizziness in his brain, and his vision darkened.

At the last glimpse of Angus's dizziness again, he saw Lin An get up from his armchair and push open the metal door on the side of the cell, his back disappearing behind the door.

……

Angus awoke again, and the smell of food filled the sealed underground cell.

His stomach, which had lost sensation, burned uncontrollably, reminding him of the fact that he had not eaten a drop of water so far.

The feeling was strange and familiar, and it reminded him of his distant childhood memories, but since the age of six, he had not made any mistakes, and the hunger caused by the "food torture" of being locked up in the confessional to pray for sins has long been sealed in distant memories.

When he opened his eyes, he was not surprised to see Lin An sitting in the armchair again, after all, although his spiritual power had been extracted, Lin An had not concealed the sense of preservation in her gaze.

There was a slightly hot and spicy pain on his lips, Angus licked it, it was faintly salty, and it was not surprising that there were several cracks on his lips.

He sat up again, much slower than when he first woke up, instinctively saving the exertion of his body and mind.

Looking at eye level, his gaze slowly shifted from Lin An to a solid platform on the right side of the armchair.

The plate of grilled steak with black peppers on top is exactly where the aroma comes from.

The strong smell of the hungry has a tenfold allure in the sense of smell.

"Six magic hours."

This time, without waiting for Angus to ask, Lin An had already replied to the time between his two awakenings, and took the initiative to mention, "The portal did not appear. ”

Of course.

Angus shifted his gaze back to Lin An, wisely not saying the sentence.

Lin An said this, it was just a statement, and he didn't ask Angus to explain, anyway, they both knew that she couldn't get an accurate answer from Angus, but Lin An took the initiative to bring up this question, and Angus no longer had any basis that could provide him with a psychological advantage - continuing to dwell on this point would only make him fall behind in psychological warfare.

Lin An didn't have the pride of gaining the upper hand, she just tapped the handrail calmly.

"Well, let's get straight to the point," she said suddenly, but it was a different topic, "what will be the outcome of the battle between Angus II and the Lord of the Blue?" ”

Angus was caught off guard, his expression slightly paused.

Lin An's gaze always caught any abnormal movements of Angus, if it was under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for Angus to expose his inner feelings, but he had lost his spiritual power as a reliance at this time, and his weak body could not completely suppress his instinctive reaction under the interference of the smell of food.

So Angus's fleeting reaction has already allowed Lin An to get the answer.

"Sure enough, as expected, Angus II has fallen."

Lin An's eyes fluctuated slightly, "The Holy See has done so many actions before, all kinds of foreshadowing, all of which make everyone subconsciously think that Angus II will fight, and there must be a backhand, and the Pope will not fall so easily, but it is estimated that even His Majesty the Pope would not have thought that his fate had been ...... by him long before the decisive battle Biological son, it was decided. ”

The thrilling conspiracy was stated in the mouth of the most deservedly blinded person, and Angus's eyes finally narrowed slightly, looking directly at Lin An.

"How did you guess?" He paused and said, "Just because you saw this place?" "So, guess this is built in a hideout?

"Of course it's not all, seeing the existence of this institute just made me confirm this speculation." Lin An replied without losing the wind.

"So, where does my plan make you suspicious?" Angus smiled warmly and asked.

He thought that he had done all kinds of deception to Lin An, because of the prophecy of the daughter of fate, he had already raised Lin An to a level of importance that did not match her own strength.

"Of course there is nothing wrong with your plan, if there is a mistake, it is only because of the uncontrollable nature of the human heart," Lin An was confident and said lightly, "You still haven't figured it out, why did I walk out of the portal early?" ”

Angus's eyes flickered, as if he understood something.

"Your understanding of my strength, in addition to the collection of my deeds, is not a small part, it comes from Remus! After all, after receiving the blessing of God, my achievements in the ice field at that time were far from being able to accurately estimate my strength - after that, there were not many opportunities for me to be exposed to combat and understand my combat power.

And the vast majority of the witnesses are still people who will never betray me, and you don't dare to startle the snake and attack them, so Andre's time is already the limit of what you can do without arousing my vigilance-"

Angus never denied it, and Lin Anxin's guess was confirmed, and his eyes were gloomy, "So, Remus's opinion is undoubtedly a reference that cannot be ignored - then I'm afraid, what you know is far from my true strength!" ”

Angus's fingers on his lap trembled, and Lin An saw it in his eyes, and a trace of satisfaction crossed his eyes.
