The tall figure rotated for a moment with the emergence of this voice, and the subtle sound of current overflow also resounded in the corner of this room with words that could not be fully synthesized, and Duan Qing, who was aroused by the vigilance action, also hurriedly jumped to both sides when they heard the sound, and the defensive actions raised by each other also slowly fell down with the confrontation between them: "You, you are still alive...... Uh, no, you're awake? ”

"The excessive voltage has broken through my body, and most of the functions in my body have lost their original function."

It seemed that only the square head could be turned back and forth, and Jiao Jing, who was also sparking in the magic machine named Kyle II, also slowly headed towards Duan Qing's side at this time: "But even so, as long as the power demon heart can be restored, I can repair the damaged unit in stages, please don't worry." ”

"Well, I'm not worried about you, in fact, as a unique being in this underground ruin, your recovery is normal in our hearts." Scratching his head with a dry smile, Duan Qing, who was being watched by the other party, moved his writhing body to the side a little unnaturally: "We're just...... Uh, a little worried about your current ...... Uh, attitude? Or is it the relationship between us? ”

"More than 90% of the combat system has been deactivated, and it is impossible to enforce agreements above the second level, including the punishment unit." Uttering these words in an emotionless voice, Kyle II's voice then reverted to its original human-like tone: "I also have a contingency plan for low-power consumption in my system, and I will try to deal with the current situation in low-power in a peaceful way, and-"

"Even according to what is written in the Human Profit Imitation Protocol, I shouldn't have counted the damage I suffered on your head, but the intruder you just killed, did I?"

When it said this, the sizzling electric current sound echoed in the ears of Duan Qing and the two of them, and he looked at each other for a while before he stopped breathing like an amazement, and at the same time slowly put away his same turbulent mood: "Okay, okay, this is really exciting news...... In other words, you won't settle accounts with me anymore? ”

"Your crimes are still there, but I can't hold them accountable." Kyle II replied in a calm voice, "Of course, you can also understand it in your own way, visitor. ”

"Well, can we peacefully move on to the next question?" Pursing his mouth with a complicated expression, Duan Qing then withdrew his quietly handed out glance from the direction where the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice was: "For example, what did you just say - what does the so-called 'Zero Life Form Transformation' mean?" ”

"At a time when you outsiders are not aware of it, humanity has tried to transplant all sorts of life forms into other directions and uses."

In the sizzling sound of electricity, the explanation from Kyle II seemed to become more indistinct as the current continued to leak out: "Transfer, graft, transplant, reorganize...... The transformation of almost all types of life has been carried out by my creator and their ilk, and most of the difficulties encountered have been overcome. ”

"But there is one of the simplest and at the same time most complex life forms that my creators have not been able to complete and break through." At this point, its voice paused: "Those lifeforms have always been under their attention, and have been transformed by them, they are very subtle but perfect, delicate, and once the transformation can be completed and perfectly matched with other lifeforms, all lifeforms, including the creators, will be fundamentally changed." ”

"They are called Zero Lifeforms, and they are beings that are more valuable than themselves in the minds of their creators."

Unable to make any movements, Kyle II's sparkling square head seemed to be trying to articulate in his own words the concept that Duan Qing and the others were listening to: "Zero Lifeform Transformation refers to the research and attempts of my creators in this area, and it has not stopped until my memory bank is updated. ”

"Maybe the study has been successful." Then this crackling voice, the deep groan belonging to Duan Qing also echoed in the dark corner of space: "That's what we see in front of us, right?" ”

Following his gesture, Snow Spirit Phantom Ice's gaze also fell on the range of the pitch-black metal furnace facing several people, and strange substances that looked like tangled balls then appeared in the dim and pitch-black vision, stretching haphazardly along the edges and corners between the furnace walls towards the depths of the narrow space that could not be seen: "Hmm, this almost like an unknown substance, and it has been scorched......"

"It must have been scorched a long time ago, not like a recent product." Without trying to get close to these substances, Duan Qing's gaze on that side did not drift in the slightest: "And judging from their completely unbalanced distribution, the result of the scorching should be an accident, a residue that violates the will of this furnace." ”

"Simply put, it's destroyed, isn't it?" Xue Lingphantom Ice, who knew something, frowned and replied, "Was it burned by the owner here with his own hands, or was it burned by outsiders?" ”

"When the previous fighting first broke out, there seemed to be no sign of invasion in this place." Signaling the surrounding ruins again, Duan Qing shook his head: "As the first person to visit this secret area after a thousand years, we are almost certain that these things were destroyed without outsiders. ”

"To destroy the evidence."

Furrowing his eyebrows slightly, the gray-robed magician spat out the last words he wanted to say, and his gaze full of a certain sense of inquiry also fell on Kyle II in the center with the attention of Snow Spirit Phantom Ice: "It's true that I haven't heard of the Zero Life Conversion Experiment, but among the human directors who once ruled this underground laboratory, there is indeed one supervisor who is good at the research of biological transformation. ”

"Mr. Fimmon de la Voche, representative of the Dravoche family." As if to understand that the two players in front of him were waiting for their answers, the giant magical machine immediately replied: "Although Dravoche is not the most powerful family in the dynasty, their achievements in the study of lifeforms are still few and far between. ”

"In other words, he is behind it all." Pinching his nose, Duan Qing then denied his conclusion: "No, it may be more accurate to use the word 'initiator' to describe it, because he definitely didn't expect that his hidden research would cause such a big tragedy." ”

"Wait a minute, you've got your goal in mind?" Xue Lingphantom Ice raised her hand in surprise and stopped in front of the other party: "Even if these things are really left by that Mr. Dravoche, what does this have to do with the existence of those undead creatures?" Who could explain it more clearly? ”

"Have you heard of Resident Evil? Nine times out of ten, this Mr. Dravoche has developed a similar virus or bacterium, the kind that can give people 'immortality'. Duan Qing replied expressionlessly: "We can't know what process and mistakes occurred in the middle, but this thing still played its due role in the end, and the 'zero lifeforms' that were enough to infect all the underground laboratories eventually spread to every corner, turning everyone into an undead existence." ”

"That's the last missing link - the reason why the humans in the recordings were attacked by the magic guards is valid." Speaking of this, Duan Qing snapped his fingers clearly: "Presumably, in the eyes of those magic guards, all infected humans have become the targets of purging. ”

"But whether it's the footage you see in the recreation area or the recordings you find in the central control room, the people who live in it seem to be normal?" Xue Ling's expression was still puzzled: "When did they become infected humans?" ”

"God knows when it will take effect, it may be immediately, or it may be after death." Waving his hand, Duan Qing's face began to become ugly: "Based on my understanding of those alchemy maniacs' pursuit of perfection, the possibility of the latter should be a little higher." ”

"In other words, the skeletons we encountered before were all made from the corpses of the members of this underground laboratory?" Xue Lingphantom Ice glared at his eyes: "But that's not right, this number is not right at all, how can there be so many people who have died in these hundreds of meters underground?" ”

"It depends on the level of rebirth of these skeletons—or how good the alchemists used to be." Narrowing his eyes, Duan Qing's eyes clearly showed a sense of thought and memory: "If a virus or bacteria is used to control the corpses, then the so-called deceased will not be completely dead at all, they may have already transformed the structure and existence of those human bodies that reside in them, so that they can be perfectly 'resurrected' by re-assembling those broken bones——"

"They may even regenerate from broken bones." He subconsciously looked back at Xue Ling's face and said, "Although we haven't seen deformed bone creatures until now, we can't rule out the possibility that they have evolved to divide and multiply themselves......"

"Stop, stop! Stop guessing. Hurriedly stopped these creepy words, and Xue Lingphantom Ice, who subconsciously rubbed his arm, began to look around: "How can there be such a mysterious thing, this must be your senseless worry, if those unwarranted things are really as powerful as you guessed, then wouldn't we have already ...... Already ......"

As if aware of some kind of consequence that had happened, the white-haired woman's voice slowly stopped like a tape jammed, and the silence mixed with the sound of crackling electricity then filled the darkness between several people for a long time, and finally was broken by an exclamation from Duan Qing, who was also pale: "I also said that I am an unlucky ghost, now you know who is the one who likes to plant flags, right?" ”

"You, don't spew blood." Xue Lingphantasm slapped the other party angrily: "I, I'm just talking casually, if what I say casually can come true, I would have changed my career to become a prophet a long time ago!" ”

"Then let the only authority in the room answer this question." Laughing involuntarily, Duan Qing then bent politely in the direction of Kyle II on the side: "As the only potential party present, you must have a way to see what's right, right?" ”

"Sorry, my sensing system has also stopped working." Still shaking his square head vigorously, Kyle II's answer made the two people present even more confused: "However, when I did the biometric scan before, I didn't find that the two of you have any anomalies in the field of zero lifeforms, but considering that you have been deep into the core area for so long, I can't guarantee that your physical state at this moment is still healthy." ”

"You'd better go back to the medical area and get a fresh check-up."

It made such a suggestion, and the electric sparks that kept vibrating around were also vibrating up and down with the broken electronic synthesis sound at this time, and Duan Qing, who was looking at each other, also lowered their heads in unison, and checked their respective character panels in a way that Kyle II could not detect: "Hmm, there doesn't seem to be any strange system prompt, and there are no unusual markups." ”

"Don't be in a hurry to rejoice, maybe it's because it hasn't taken effect yet, or if certain conditions have been met."

"I'm not afraid of this strange thing! Although if you die, you will become some strange skeleton, which can be very uncomfortable......"

"yes, maybe we can really become immortal, and one more life after we die......

The awkward laugh slowly faded as the two men's voices spoke more and more indistinctly, replaced by another period of indescribable silence: "...... Hey, let's go take a look. ”

"Judging from your current performance, the curative effect of that thing is pretty good, isn't it?"

"Well, we don't have anything to do right now, and we don't have any obvious enemies or threats - hey, Kyle II, can we get through safely?"

"Of course, as long as you remember the road."

The electricity in the darkness occasionally illuminated the space, and the words belonging to Kyle II echoed among the quiet ruins as Duan Qing and the two of them turned their eyes together: "I can't move anymore, and I can't continue to show you the way. ”

"Go ahead and leave me here."
