Chapter 405: The Buried Key

The dazzling white light faded away, and Barrett realized that he was in liquid.

The liquid is warm, not cold, biting water, but something like a preservation solution.

Twisting his body, Barrett tries to find Hanyu and Ace, but finds no one around.

Perhaps it was the modifying tools in his body that activated the life support system, but Barrett didn't feel stuffy, but to be on the safe side, he wouldn't try to open his mouth to taste the preservation solution.

Although he couldn't find anyone else, he wasn't too worried.

If Hanyu and Ace encounter a mortal threat, they can also choose to abandon their bodies to escape the siege.

Because of the preservative solution, the sight is not good.

At least as far as he could see, he couldn't see any of the outer walls or walls of the container.

At that moment, a little white light on his forehead burrowed out of his body, and Karma came out.

"Someone approached our position." A wave of consciousness entered his mind.

But to his surprise, this consciousness was not Karma, but a voice he had never heard before.

"Who are you??" A sense of dread rose in his heart, but quickly disappeared without a trace.

Because soon he saw this man.

A woman dressed in a white researcher's coat with short black hair pinned to bangs by a small blonde hairpin appeared in front of him.

The hatch of the preservation pod was opened, and the woman looked curiously at Barrett, who was floating in the preservation solution.

Barrett looked at her, too.

Soon, all his fears and worries vanished, for this person was none other than the person he had always wanted to see---- Lily Barthoretti.

"You look sober." Lily laughed, her smile was warm, and her smart eyes were full of laughter.

I saw a hairy head stretched out and stared at Barrett.

"Not like me, are you sure it's him?" The hairy man with the beard scratched his chin and said.

"These data are not fake, and you don't understand them, go for them." As if to drive away the critters, Lily reached out and patted away the hairy hand that tried to reach out and ** a few times on the bulkhead of the preservation hatch.

Scratching his head in embarrassment, the bearded hunk could only obediently walk to the side and watch Lily fiddle with the controller in his hand.

"I can't let you out yet, because you're so dirty." I saw her wink playfully, and then said something with a slight mockery.

Barrett was stunned for a moment, and glanced down at himself, unable to find anything dirty.

Soon he understood that the so-called dirty did not refer to the body, but to the spirit, or the soul.

As white balls of light left his body, Barrett was a little apprehensive to find that Karma and her friends were gradually being squeezed out of his body.

The transformation tools that had protected him countless times all left his body, and he immediately fell into a feeling of suffocation.

The life-sustaining system could no longer work, and Barrett struggled, his gaze scanning wildly.

Lily carefully observed Barrett's state, her expression slowly becoming a little worried.

"No, it's almost a tipping point, but there's still something left." Lily said with a frown, even she didn't understand something.

Even Kama, who was the core, was pulled out of Barrett's body without any resistance, but there was still something left in his mental consciousness.

Reaching out to stop the device in his hand, bubbles continued to bubble from the lower edge of the storage chamber, indicating that the preservation solution was being withdrawn.

Barrett finally touched the floor of the surveillance, gasping for breath.

The encounter just now made him very uncomfortable, and I have to say that suffocation is not a very pleasant feeling.

"Whew...... ...... water continued to fall from his hair, and it took Barrett a moment to get up, feeling a little warmth in his left leg, and soon he realized what was going on.

A little embarrassed and embarrassed to look up at Lily outside the bulkhead, he asked with some difficulty: "It's really worthy of my own mother, is it really okay to toss me like this?" ”

Lily didn't seem to hear what he said, just looked at the data tablet in her hand and pondered, and only raised her head after a few minutes and said, "In order to ensure safety, it will be done twice, you are a man, bear with it!" ”

The bearded macho man next to him shivered, and he chose to flash people.

Barrett has a black line on his head: "I............ Can't I surrender?? ”

Lily stubbornly shook her head and said, "No! Give you ten minutes to rest and we'll continue. ”

Like a test subject, Barrett drank a stomach full of protective solution again.

This thing is different from ordinary liquids, it actually has the ability to hold transformation tools.

The tools that can deconstruct most of the matter themselves are completely ineffective in this liquid.

Another ten minutes passed, looking at the protective fluid gradually rising under his feet, Barrett leaned on the bulkhead and looked at Lily outside with a pale face.

However, he did not say goodbye as before, but said with a wry smile: "Although I don't know what you are looking for, I always feel that this feeling is getting more and more enjoyable." ”

Lily's originally worried expression suddenly turned into unpleasant.

Pinching her waist, she was a little unhappy, and she felt sorry for this guy for a long time, a guy with no skin and no face.

"Then you can continue to enjoy it, let's come a few more times."

This sentence scared someone who sold his mouth, and hurriedly bowed his head to his mother again: "Don't, don't, you are my mother, really!" ”

The experiment continues.

This time, Lily didn't continue her search, because she found that even if she changed her search method, she still couldn't find what she was looking for.

Although it seems to be the same process, except for the first time when he used the extreme method to stimulate his self-protection, the other times it was achieved by changing the protective liquid with different properties.

It's a pity that I didn't get the desired result in the end, and even if it wasn't safe, I couldn't continue to toss.

Barrett's physical condition didn't allow her to continue, and without the support of the transformation tools, his body didn't have that super recovery ability.

As she casually let go of the information board, the thin board slowly flew into the distance and landed on a platform.

Lily took two steps back, and the bulkhead of the protective pod was being opened.

Barrett walked out slowly, taking in his surroundings.

Not a lab as he thought it was, but a space that resembled a workshop.

Why? He thought he saw the hammer, the carving knife, the chisel and even the uncarved wood on the table behind Lily.

This must be Diner's work.

Barrett remembers what the cat told him that Diner was a farmer and that carving carpentry was his hobby.

Of course, this hobby was only for the pleasure of his wife.

"Well, it's the first time I've seen your real person, but I can't connect with an old lady who has lost a time crystal." Barrett's mouth is nonsense, and sure enough, Lily is depressed again.

"What is the old lady, your stupid virtue is really like him." Lily sighed, this guy was exactly like his father.

"The crystal is given to you, it doesn't mean that I have lost my ability." Lily tapped him lightly with the pen in her hand, but because of her height, she had to stand on tiptoe to reach his forehead.

Barrett laughed, he liked the angry mother more and more.

Although they have never met, the kindness and yearning engraved in the blood make him completely free from the estrangement and jerkiness between strangers.

"I saw your message, what does that mean?" Barrett turned his head to look for something.

Kama was evacuated, and although Hanyu and Ace were not dead, they had no idea where they were being held.

After all, it was Barrett's mother, and Lily said angrily: "You don't have to worry about that for the time being, because it will be your most important task, here." ”

Then she waved her hand in the air, and a virtual screen appeared in front of her.

In the rooms glowing with soft white light, Hanyu and Ace sat quietly on the floor with their knees crossed, just sitting quietly.

Kama, on the other hand, was watching something in front of a stage.

After making sure they were all right, Barrett was relieved.

"I didn't expect you to be able to handle the core." Barrett smiled.

Barrett, who had settled down, finally looked at his mother from such a close distance.

The more he looked, the more he felt that the cat was not right with him, that Lily was not at all as ignorant as she said she was, but a very ordinary young woman.

It's perfectly fine for you to even say she's a little girl.

After all, she is still the same as when she came back to life, eighteen or nineteen years old.

"My authority is much higher than hers, why not?" Lily gently straightened her coat, which was a little messy from her efforts to tiptoe, and then used her hands to pampering Barrett's hair, which looked like a hedgehog.

As a result, the liquid in his hair was almost dry and prickly again.

"So let's change the subject, what do you mean when you say someone is approaching here?" Barrett didn't dare to raise the bar with her, so he asked by clasping his ears with his fingernails.

Lily didn't dwell on it either, she turned to lead the way, and Barrett immediately followed.

"I don't know what these people are doing here, but there shouldn't be much of a threat." As soon as I went out, I saw Dina doing push-ups on the ground.

Seeing the two of them come out, he jumped to his feet, and then cautiously leaned over.

At this time, he became shy.

"It still looks a lot like me, at least this sturdy ...... Very good. Somewhat awkwardly expressing his thoughts, he walked over to Lily's side and said through her petite body. 、

Diner, who had a somewhat evasive look in his eyes, lowered his head and walked beside Lily, I have to say that Dina really cares for this little wife.

Looking at his slightly loving parents, Barrett actually felt very comfortable.

This feeling of harmony made him more and more pleasant, and he was even slightly moved.

After walking for about five minutes, Lily finally stopped.

It's a small room with a ring, and it's not that big.

Pointing to the ring, Lily ordered, "Throw him down." ”

Dina looked at Barrett with some embarrassment, and then looked back at Lily, and could only walk over.

Barrett was a little confused, what was this going to do?

Throw it down? Throw me down?

He is a specially trained special soldier, and his body has been modified to a considerable extent.

It is no exaggeration to say that his combat power now may not be able to defeat him even if he is a B-level or so capable person with all his strength, according to the cat, Dina is just an ordinary person, although his lifespan is skyrocketing.

Now Lily wants him to throw himself down? Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Barrett raised his hands and said, "Okay! All right! I jumped on my own. ”

Who knew that Dina still grabbed his arms and legs and carried them directly, muttering: "No, you don't know that if you can't throw it, you will have to fall on your ass." ”

It's rough, but it's very real.

While he was still confused, he saw Diner roar angrily, and he flew out.

It's flying out, but not forward, but downward............

Shocked, Barrett experienced a speeding ............ Sense of flight.

For a moment, he even had the illusion of going beyond the speed of sound.

Jumping directly to the ground, Barrett couldn't even control his body position, relying on Diner's precise throwing of him onto a small table.

Standing up and stabilizing his emotions, he had the time to check the situation around him.

It's a room-like entrance, and not far behind it is a deep crater, and you can't see the bottom at all.

There was no passage overhead, and Barrett knew that he could only move forward.

As soon as he entered the passage, Barrett felt a strange sense of disobedience.

Over here............ What is an old wooden crate, a clay vase of a strange material, a wooden shelf with simple tools?

Ancient times? Other than this, he couldn't think of adjectives at all.

Habitually walking over to investigate the materials of these things, Barrett found that everything he touched with his hands had turned into a blue state of nothingness.

Lily's whisper came from her ear: "Don't touch these things easily, they are the products of the Void, you just need to find the key." ”

Key? Barrett didn't know what it looked like, but he knew what he had to do.

Seventh? The seventh room? Or is it the seventh thing?

But it can't be easily touched, and it's really a bit difficult to get it.

Walking out of the room, Barrett roughly searched the surrounding rooms, but had no clue.

The exit was found, but he found that he couldn't get through.

In the middle of the arrange-like dilapidated portico are several tattered wooden crates.

But he has understood that he can't easily touch this kind of thing, so how can he get out?

Even if you want to get through the narrow gap above, it is too difficult and uncomfortable.

As he pondered, Barrett noticed something different.

The torches on the walls turned out to be burning, and a slight crackling sound caught Barrett's attention.

Trying to reach for the torch on the wall, Barrett realized that it was actually there.

This seems to be the key.

Pulling out the torch and holding it in his hand, Barrett found that he didn't expect the box to disappear, and there was no change in wool at all!
