Chapter 727: The Underground Laboratory of the Western-style Pavilion
The group continued to descend, turning a staircase, down to the second floor of the basement, this level looked like a huge beehive built underground, completely different from the layout of the building above, in the middle of the hall was a very unique octagonal floor composed of red and white, the ceiling was gray, everything around it looked gray and cold, and the surrounding white square frame striped floor tiles showed a bleak light. Surrounded by cages of magical animals and humanoids, some of which shone coldly in the white light, and each one contained a werewolf.
At the top of these cages, a crystal ball that resembles the moon emits light. The grumpy werewolf had obviously lost his mind, and the werewolf, who was cowering in the corner and whimpering, heard the footsteps and moved closer into the corner.
Seeing Alan and them walk in, there were all sorts of howls coming from the basement. They bared their sharp wolf fangs at Allen, some strong werewolves, their expanding muscles and glowing fangs, which smelled of horror and horror in the white light. Some werewolves were still self-rational, holding silver-plated railings, and staring coldly at Allen. The werewolves, who have lost their minds, are constantly banging against the cage......
Passing through these cages, a silver-plated iron door clattered open to both sides, and the four eyes withdrew their wands, leaned forward slightly, and made a gesture of invitation to Eren with his palm outstretched out, and Eren stepped in, hearing not only the wails of werewolves, but also the miserable screams of unknown things.
In the lab to Allen's left, a werewolf was tied to a bare iron bed, and a wizard in a white lab robe and a mask poured a tube of a strange cyan potion into his mouth. On the other side, several humans seemed to be bound by invisible ropes, struggling but unable to resist. Ignoring this, the experimenter pulled the empty vial out of the werewolf's mouth, ignoring the blood that began to ooze from his facial features, and put the empty vial down and recorded it on a splint. When he looked up and saw Allen and them, he hurriedly walked out.
"George Carpenter, failed again?" asked Four-Eyes, pausing in his tracks.
"Yes, this is criminal No. 13, after injecting blood containing wolf venom, he still didn't wait to resist the wolf venom after taking our anti-transformation potion, and contracted wolf disease, so I poured this bottle of H7 wolf venom potion into him to test it to see if it could produce some effect. George reported seriously, "But look at the reaction, the effect is not sure yet, the side effects are a bit big, and at present, H7 does not seem to be suitable for sending to the basement on the first floor, it is not very safe." ”
"Well, you have to make sure it's safe to send it upstairs. Four Eyes turned to look at Allen, "Young Master, the potions that we have upstairs that have determined that they are low in danger and high in safety are screened out after continuous testing on this floor before letting Lupin and them test them a second time. ”
"You're doing a good job, it's the right thing to do if you don't let any more accidents happen to these good werewolves who have voluntarily followed the harsh "Werewolf Code of Conduct". Alan nodded in agreement.
As the group walked on, the doors on both sides of the hallway were closed, but the signs such as Horned Camel and Thestrals were written on the door. Through the large transparent glass windows of the horned camel's room, some staff members can be seen observing and measuring the data of a sleeping horned camel.
But Penelope's footsteps didn't stop at this level, but instead led them down the long, narrow hallway, where Four Eyes stood in front of a normal office door with Four Eyes' name written on it.
At the front of the door are large desks and swivelling office chairs, but in the back are like a reference room, with huge curved lattice bookshelves from the floor to the ceiling, distributed in rows and rows. Four Eyes closed the office door and pointed his wand at the chandelier above the shelves, and with a flicker of light, the shelves spun around, and when they stopped, a secret door appeared on the wall, where there had been a row of bookshelves.
"If you enter the door and just push open the bookshelf, you can't see this secret door, and you can only activate this secret door by turning the bookshelf by magic. The wand of the Four Eyes was aimed at the secret door, and the door opened silently.
A spiraling staircase spirals downward, and magic lamps light up the entire space on either side of the wall, leaving little shadow. The group descended the stairs, and at the bottom of the staircase was an arched corridor, each with a guard standing in front of each column, and a heavy metal gate at the end of the corridor.
After carefully checking the magic documents of the four eyes, the guard turned sideways and gave up his position, the creaking chain sounded, and after all the door chains were unfastened, Eren and his party walked inside, still a narrow hallway.
There was silence in the hallway, only the sound of Ellen's own footsteps could be heard, and after not far they had gone there was another heavy iron gate as before, the wand of the four eyes pointed at the door, and at the same time as the creak sounded, there was a muffled sound behind it, and as the door in front of them opened, the door they had entered before closed close. Moving on, when Eren and the others opened the same door again, the iron door in the middle also closed tightly.
"One of the three doors can only be opened when two doors are closed. "Four Eyes led the way ahead, and the deeper they went, the thicker the rusty smell of blood and the stench of decay became.
The subjects and sights in each laboratory were different, the skin of the invisible beast was hung intact on a shelf, and the long, silky silver hairs were still invisible or manifested irregularly from time to time. The bones of animals that had been broken down to discernible shapes were scattered on the test bench, bubbling to boil the crucibles of eeriely colored potions...... It is these unbridled experiments that are concealed under the heavy vigilance.
The cell was divided into dense cubicles, each of which housed a werewolf, all of whom had taken different forms, and werewolves who had completely turned into werewolves were irrational, shivering, sluggish, and wailing. In a few cubicles, ordinary wolves that had not been able to turn into werewolves were spinning around with their tails hanging down. There were also mutilated werewolves with parts fur and parts bare flesh whimpering between the lattices......
In one observation room, an abnormally decomposing werewolf corpse was chained to a shelf, some of its skin looking like it had been dead for a long time, but the decaying parts looked like it would have been going on for many years. The dead werewolf's skull was lifted off and placed on a table to the side.
"This kind of secret experiment is only open to a few high-ranking personnel, and the focus of our current research is werewolves, the Werewolf Capture Project Group, a subordinate department of the Beast Office of Director Josephine Harris of the Department of Magical Beasts Management and Control, and after reform, the previous situation has been changed, and they have cooperated with the Aurors to provide us with many test subjects. The four eyes pointed to the row of laboratories in front of the right, "That area is all classified as werewolf research, and the dissection room, the pharmacy room, and the observation room are ......"
The dissected corpse of another werewolf lay flat on the dissecting table, its mouth wide open, its entire chest exposed, and its internal organs were placed separately on another table, blood dripping down the test bench to the ground, and the blood that had not had time to clean up the walls began to turn black.
Alan glanced at the sticky nerve fragment in her wrist, which was clearly the nerve of the dissected werewolf inside.
Noticing Allen's eyes, the four eyes cleared the fragments, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I just observed the changes in the werewolf's body in this laboratory, because the guards notified the young master of your arrival, I was in a hurry to greet you, and I didn't have time to clean up the laboratory yet." ”
"It's okay, but ......" Alan narrowed his eyes and looked around again, turning his head to look at Penelope, who had been silent and his eyes were evasive, and asked helplessly, "Then Penelope...... Now you can tell me what you did to poor Dolores, or in which room should I ask her?"
