"A sync signal has been detected and the data content has been updated."

Some time later, at the edge of the connecting area, two magical mechanical creatures who had come together with heavy steps stood directly in front of each other near a square building: "-Update complete, confirm the emergence of a new threat." ”

"The 22nd is unable to confirm the elimination of hostile targets, and the search area is expanding." It didn't seem to be the entity in charge of local defense, and one of the huge figures coming from the depths of the darkness also flashed a red light at this time: "Alert is raised to prevent more threats from appearing." ”

"Received an order to strengthen the defense mission." As if absorbing all the red light that swept in front of his eyes, the electronic synthesis voice on the body of another magic creature also flashed up and down the pitch-black body for a moment: "Raise the search level, search: no enemy has been found yet." ”

"Confirm the energy transfer phase, the remaining time is -"

The emotionless electronic voice rang out alternately as the figures of the two magic weapons stood motionless in place, and finally gradually separated with their respective backward steps, as if one of the figures returning to their posts also stood quietly in front of the square outline of the building, allowing the wind that kept blowing through the place to sweep in front of them. The edge of the building made of reinforced concrete then appeared in the corner of the wall in the scene of the two tall giant shadows alternately leaving, as if there was a gap in the crack of the wall, and an emerald green light suddenly flashed in the dark depths of the wall, and the light gradually disappeared in the corner that no one could see, and disappeared into the unrecognizable outline, and finally turned into a curve that disappeared into the darkness with a quiet but unknown voice: "-Shhhh ”

"You really found the vent...... No, this is simply surrounded by enemies, right? ”

Cautiously looking outside for the last time, Shi Ayun, who was the first to submerge into this darkness, then also landed on the ground first: "Are you sure there is no problem?" That's how we barged in—"

"Don't worry, the defense of those magic weapons is external." With a light wind, it slowly landed in the same position, and Duan Qing, who was holding the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, also tried his best to lower his voice at this time: "Although I don't know if these magic weapons have the same defensive loopholes as humans when defending, as long as we don't enter their vigilant field of vision, it shouldn't react to our existence." ”

"The vigilance vision of magic weapons should be different from that of us humans, right?" A whispered warning rang in his ears, "If they're using magic sensing or infrared-like technology—"

Looking at Duan Qing's fingers, the white-haired woman's voice suddenly stopped in mid-air, and a faint blue-purple magical light then shrouded the two people under Duan Qing's instructions, and the slight humming sound that kept sounding seemed to completely isolate the aura emanating from the two people: "...... I see, you've enabled this strange thing again. ”

"Just because I don't know how to use it doesn't mean I dare not use it, I still have the guts." Duan Qing pointed to his cheek with a look of anger: "What's more, the more we use it, the more functions we can prove, isn't it?" ”

"I reject anything that is treated like guinea pigs and test subjects, even with you." Xue Lingphantom Ice angrily hammered Duan Qing's chest with the back of his head: "And this unknown aura of yours is not too small?" That Shiayun is still running around outside. ”

"Let him run around outside, I don't think there's anything wrong with him anyway." With a helpless expression, he glanced at the back of the self-guided figure that had disappeared into the depths of darkness, and Duan Qing then also lowered his gaze in other directions: "The focus now is to seize the time. ”

"Let's get to the bottom of this strange place."

Following the emerald green fluorescence that was still emitting from his body, the gray-robed magician gradually began to sweep the corners of the room illuminated by his own magic one by one, and the fragments of tables and chairs and broken glass that were also scattered on the ground for some reason also collided with the eyes of the two people passing by with the glow reflected by the emerald energy on the ground: "It looks no different from the rooms we have seen before, at least in terms of being eroded by wind and frost...... Well? ”

"No, things seem to have changed." Reaching out and picking up one of the metal poles near his feet, the gray-robed magician was the first to let out his own exclamation: "A metal skeleton? The furniture and décor here seem to have been upgraded. ”

"The hexagonal design is a little bit more like a real-life office outfit." Reaching out and gesturing among the metal fragments scattered in front of him, Xue Lingphantom Ice, who was dragging his weak steps, pointed around and replied in a low voice, "I prefer this simple and durable thing to the office rather than a rest place and furniture decoration." ”

"In other words, we are within the confines of the experimental area?" Duan Qing blinked his eyes: "Is it necessary for the underground laboratory to have similar facilities that need office processing?" ”

"Of course, no matter where there are 'people', management is an indispensable task." Bending sideways to reveal the confidence of a strong woman, Xue Lingbing unconsciously brushed her long white hair: "I have deeply experienced this in the past few years, so I am very familiar with this kind of similar place and atmosphere, as long as——"

She raised her head, and the words raised unconsciously suddenly stopped in mid-air, and the criss-crossed black pipes and the countless broken and fallen patent leather half-placed on it also reflected in the field of vision that Xue Ling Phantom Ice had just raised along with the brilliant green light emitted from Duan Qing's body: "This, this is—"

"Is this connected to the outside world?" As if he had just noticed these visions overhead, Duan Qing whispered in surprise, "Those pipelines are also all over the wall...... Damn, why didn't you notice when you jumped from it before? ”

"If you look closely, they're all connected to the edge of this space." Pointing to the wall that loomed behind the intertwined pipelines, Xue Lingbing's weak gaze gradually began to sharpen: "But with so many pipelines, it can't be just passing by in this room, right?" There must be something to concentrate on—"

Involuntarily took two steps forward, the white-haired woman's voice froze in place again, and Duan Qing, who also stepped forward, then fixed his gaze on the bottom of those pipelines, which were gradually illuminated by the light source he brought to the long metal cabinets covered with various operating levers and indicator lights: "-Wow." ”

"I can't help but want to give a whistle."

The magic lights that had been broken for an unknown amount of time, the dust that shrouded the various switches and levers, and the large console units formed by the combination of long metal cabinets were then mixed with a thick historical feeling that had not been cared for for a long time, reflecting a faint glow under the emerald light and blue-purple magic shield. It seemed that some of the railings used to control these metal consoles had been broken, and some other things like buttons were also a little damaged in front of Duan Qing's eyes at this time, some of the glass fragments scattered on them and the hard metal fragments deeply embedded in the metal table, as if they were trying to say something to the two players who came to visit in this way: "...... Look, look at this bleak scene. ”

"If I say there hasn't been a fight here, I'm afraid even I won't believe it." Pointing to the corner of the operating table that was exposed to the air and looked like a bullet hole left after being pierced by a bullet, Duan Qing's voice gradually turned from the previous frivolity to heavy: "They actually used the same firearm, presumably the situation must have been very intense at that time." ”

"Not only is it intense, but there may have even been casualties." Pointing to the unrecognizable broken silhouette at the foot of the metal platform on the other side, the jade finger that should have been as green as a green onion also looked a little pale at this time: "This was cut off raw, right?" There seem to be cuts on it. ”

"It's been so long, and the metal objects deep in these ruins still look extremely hard." Trying to reach out and touch it, Duan Qing, who stepped forward, pointed to the fragment in the other party's hand and replied in a low voice: "But they are either blown up or cut now—the people who attacked here at that time may be much more powerful than we imagined." ”

"Then the same problem arises." He looked around for a moment, and the outstretched palm also shook into the field of vision of the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice as if he had been prepared for a long time: "Let's not talk about who the attacker is—it seems that there is not a single corpse here." ”

"Maybe all the people who worked here at the time fled?" Xue Ling Phantom Bing shook his head in disbelief: "It's okay to say that there are blood stains or something, but the bones can't disappear out of thin air, right?" Those bones can last for thousands of years. ”

"Anyway, this must be the clue I've been looking for." There was finally a feeling of excitement in his voice, and a little light flashed in Duan Qing's eyes, who suddenly shouted out: "No matter what happened here, the reason for the disappearance of the bodies of the dead here must be the same as the situation in the entertainment room before, why did they die, and who finally cleaned them up to an unknown place——"

"As long as that thing exists in this place, we may be able to get a glimpse of the crime scene."

The green magic light began to sweep Duan Qing's eyes around and slashed through this dim space, illuminating the side of this mysterious room a little more clearly, and he deliberately shone on that side, and then he also began to look towards the inconspicuous corner area of the room with a slightly surprised look on the snow spirit phantom ice: "What are you looking for?" I thought you'd be the first to look into things like control panels. ”

"Surveillance equipment, of course." He replied without looking back, and the body belonging to Duan Qing was already squatting deep in the dark corner in front of Xue Lingphantom Ice: "This place is obviously more important than a place like a lounge, they must also install something like a surveillance device...... Damn it. ”

"No?" After drilling like a groundhog for a long time, Duan Qing's dusty appearance then appeared in front of Xue Ling Phantom Ice: "How is it possible?" Is it in another corner? Let's go over and see. ”

"Don't be in a hurry, think about it." Stretching out his hand to stop the other party's slightly anxious movements, Xue Lingphantom Bing smiled and reached out to wipe Duan Qing's gray-haired face: "You and I can see the importance of this place, and the people who once lived in this experimental area will definitely not make such a mistake, and it is possible for us to find similar facilities In addition to the fact that they used other methods, they didn't install them in this place at all." ”

"Is there a reason why this place won't be watched?"

As she said this, she gestured in the direction of the metal table that the two had just deviated from, and the wind from which direction it was also shaking the two players looking up at the countless broken pipes above, swaying back and forth with their thoughts that were also drifting around: "You mean-"

"No, it's just my random guess, you'd better verify it yourself by other methods."

"My approach? What can I do? As you can see by now, the magic circuits on it are all destroyed, and it would be impossible to restart them. ”

"Maybe you could consider fixing it a little bit? I remember when you were in the combat storage area up there, you collected a lot of messy parts......"

"Impossible! I'm not Kyle II! Even if that guy had actually taught me something about the mechanics of magic, I wouldn't have been able to learn it so quickly—"

Boom.

A heavy knocking sound then sounded behind the two people, and the hollow sound like water dripping into a stone also echoed gently in the small room at this time, and the two people who suddenly closed their mouths then hurriedly turned their heads to look behind them, and their vigilant eyes also swept in a panic in the endless darkness ahead: "Oops, no, wasn't it too excited just now?" ”

"The guards outside are alarmed?"

"Damn, there's no other entrance or exit around, if it's blocked in this case-"

"What are you two doing?"

Before the two players could stand up in a vigilant and nervous posture, Shi Ayun, with a lazy face and a long metal pipe dangling in his hand, then staggered to the front of the two men: "Look what good things I've found—uh." ”

"What's wrong with you?"

He blinked his eyes, then looked at the two adventurers who were looking at him with blank expressions, and asked in an innocent whisper.
