"How does it feel?"

“…… I didn't feel any discomfort, and I didn't feel the water immersion or iron pipe plug like you might expect. ”

After a while, in the center of the rectangular hall, the figures belonging to Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantom Ice also began to wander next to one of the square medical cabins, and after a long time of selection, they finally opened the hatch that looked the most intact, and shoved the white-haired woman's body into it first by hiding from the dust: "Don't worry, it's not the kind of situation in the real world, there will be no big problems." ”

"I think so, at most, it's just a convenient device that the system has set up here to provide us with to restore our strength and magic." Nodding his head a little slowly, Duan Qing's answer also wandered outside the hatch that had not yet closed: "Of course, I still don't have any impression of this kind of device, and I have never used it, so no matter how much I comfort myself, I can't guarantee that there will be any problems with it." ”

"Ha, if you're really worried, why don't you lie in first?" Slanted his eyes and looked at the other party's face, and the corners of Xue Ling's phantom ice mouth involuntarily curled: "What's the matter with putting me in alone as an experiment?" ”

"What do you mean by letting you in alone? At most, let you in alone. Duan Qing gestured backwards with a reasonable expression: "I will also find another treatment cabin to lie in, now I just give this device that looks more intact!" Or would you like to squeeze in this cramped cabin with me? Tsk tsk, I don't mean anything - ouch! ”

"That's why I said I don't like to be an experiment."

Sullenly withdrew the hand that was knocking on the other party's head, and Xue Ling's gaze also withdrew from the direction of Duan Qing's retracted head: "If something really goes wrong, you and I may suffer together." ”

"Anyway, it's not going to be worse than it is now, so it's not impossible to take the risk and give it a try." Putting on a comforting smile, Duan Qing, who had regained his body, turned to his left arm: "I personally still believe in Kyle II, since it says there is no problem, of course I will not let go of this opportunity." ”

"You're really honest enough." So Xue Lingphantom Ice had no choice but to shake his head and close his eyes: "Okay, I will treat it as a temporary rest, if it is too long, I can also consider going offline to hide for a while." ”

"It's all about waiting, and you're always looking for another way to pass the boring time, isn't it?"

The sound of the hatch closing began to sound at the edge, gradually separating the space between the two people, and Duan Qing, who was no longer able to see each other, also took a deep breath, and the smile that had been on his face gradually retracted: "Have a good dream." ”

Opening his eyes again, the gray-robed magician began to carefully observe the countless energy circuits and magic runes that were circulating on the surface of the healing cabin, and the faint and imperceptible humming sound also began to ring in Duan Qing's ears along with the surrounding runes that appeared on the surface of the cabin, and gradually connected with the energy pipelines running through the ground and walls of this rectangular hall into a crystal straight line: "Although I can't understand how this thing works, But hopefully they'll help a little bit. ”

"Aren't you going to enter the treatment pod, visitor?" Behind him rang out a question from Kyle II: "The energy supply has been activated, and everything is starting to fall into place." ”

"No, I'd better wait." Without looking back to notice the sound made by the tall body as it gradually approached, Duan Qing replied in a low voice, "Didn't you say before that the energy supply in the medical area has not been fully restored?" The only device that can be activated is the one she is using now, right? ”

"I've taken over the operation of this area, and I can of course reset the distribution of energy supply."

The square head turned to Duan Qing's body, and one of the scarred mechanical arms belonging to Kyle II also pointed towards the other healing capsule in front of him: "If the two of you use these devices together, the operation efficiency of the capsule can still be maintained at more than 80%. ”

"That's still not necessary." Frowning and thinking for a while, Duan Qing shook his head and replied, "It's better to use all the energy on her, after all, she still has a curse on her body...... By the way, the curse attached to her can be removed, right? “

"Although it is not an area of expertise, the Morris family has borrowed the highest medical technology from the Roderick dynasty to create these devices, with the aim of ensuring that everyone who suffers any accident in the experimental area can receive the best possible treatment." Nodding his head, Kyle II's electronically synthesized voice seemed to have a sense of confidence: "These medical cabins can deal with all forms of pain, illness, and magical effects, and curses are naturally part of the magical effects, as long as they are not unrecognized, they should be able to be recovered by them." ”

"The unrecognizable part...... Is it? Let's hope so. Sighing softly, Duan Qing turned his attention away from the surface of the square cabin in front of him, which was constantly flowing with magical brilliance: "Then next-"

"Where are you going?" He looked at the motionless tall body of Kyle II behind him, "You shouldn't be able to use your operation here for the time being, right?" They'll take care of it themselves. ”

"If you don't have other needs, yes." The glow of the scan fell on Duan Qing's body, and Kyle II's electronically synthesized voice began to fall silent: "Since there is no new demand here, then allow me to leave for a while." ”

“…… You're going to the testing area, right? ”

"Yes."

The simpler the answer, the heavier the weight, Kyle II's square head also turned to the other direction of this rectangular hall with the appearance of these two words, and Duan Qing, who followed the other party's line of sight and noticed a certain passage there, then also sighed deeply, and only after a while broke the increasingly obvious silence between them: "...... Can I come with you? ”

"There's a lot of danger there." Reminding the humans in front of him in this way, Kyle II raised his mechanical arm slightly: "And my departure will cause this place to lose sufficient security, and if those undead units come here, the facilities here and the life of the visitor will be threatened." ”

"Then I have to gamble on my luck, after all, I'm just dying if I stay here now." Duan Qing replied casually: "Instead of wasting this opportunity, it is better to follow you, and by the way, I can continue to accept your protection." ”

“……”

Fell into a long silence, as if he was thinking about something, Kyle II didn't make any movements or sounds for a long time, and Duan Qing, who was standing in place, didn't seem to have any intention of urging and continuing to persuade, just quietly waiting for Kyle II's almost inevitable answer: "Okay, agreed." ”

"Please follow me."

It turned around, and its body, which no longer spoke much, also walked in the direction it had indicated earlier, and Duan Qing, who did not follow immediately, then also stood in place and hesitated for a moment, and finally turned around and placed a few pitch-black parts in his arms on the side of the treatment chamber of Snow Spirit Phantom Ice: "Even if they pick it up, they shouldn't use this kind of thing...... It's coming, it's coming! ”

As if noticing the scanning light coming back from ahead, the gray-robed magician quickly followed the footsteps of the huge magical artifact in front of him, and the conversation between a man and a machine was also accompanied by the fainting of the light in those passages, and gradually spread through this rare opportunity to be alone: "Our suspicion is that there must have been some major accident here that led to the destruction of this ruin. ”

“……”

"We once found some images left by surveillance cameras in the rest area, and although there were no important scenes, the key points were still preserved." didn't care about the other party's silent reaction, Duan Qing, who followed the tall back, continued to say these words to himself: "There is no major accident that is enough to disturb the entire core area, those people will not be so flustered, combined with those recordings we heard in the central control room, there are most likely counterattacks and attacks of magic weapons here." ”

"Since they're all the same mass-produced types as beings like you, they certainly have enough power to destroy the entire lab." Speaking of this, Duan Qing's voice also became much heavier: "Although it is still unclear what caused them to suddenly turn against each other and kill all humans, this should be the last disaster that this laboratory will encounter." ”

"That's where this Varro ruin comes from."

Pointing above his head, Duan Qing's raised gaze seemed to want to penetrate the endless layer of soil: "Let me ask a question first: After being destroyed for such a long time, did you really not notice it at all?" ”

"There is not a strong connection between the core area and the upper area, which was originally a place to manage supplies and reserves, as well as an extension of the experimental area." This time, Kyle II finally made his voice heard: "I also need to reiterate: we are magic weapons, and we will only operate according to the agreements imposed on us by the people who created us, and we will not actively intervene in anything outside of our area of responsibility until the necessary conditions appear." ”

"Even if the agreement itself is no longer necessary?" Duan Qing naturally asked, "Just like now—the laboratory itself is no longer there, do you still want to continue to perform the duties of a guard?" ”

"Of course, because it's not completely destroyed." Still moving forward, Kyle II raised his mechanical arm pointing forward: "Since it is not destroyed, it will naturally restart one day." ”

"I don't think it's likely, but I think I'd better ask." Scratching his cheek, Duan Qing's voice became much more cautious again: "You don't have the idea of completely repairing this laboratory, right?" ”

"Of course, I have that option in my agreement." Without hesitation, Kyle II replied, "However, based on the information available, it may be difficult to achieve this goal. ”

"I don't want to help you, and we don't have time to stay with you." Duan Qing smiled dryly and waved his hand: "However, things may not be as simple as you think." ”

“……”

"The reason for the collective rebellion of the magic guide weapons to slaughter human beings, are you really not interested?"

As if to understand that the other party was waiting for his voice, Duan Qing took it upon himself to break the silence that Kyle II continued to maintain: "The production machines may have acted because of some strange rules, or because of a fatal error in the system, but it could also be due to more intuitive reasons, such as——"

"What would you do if the researchers in those labs wanted to destroy the lab?" He shook his left wrist and casually gave some examples: "Or maybe the researchers here have come up with an explosive experiment and swept everything here......

"Impossible."

Before Duan Qing could finish his words, Kyle II's answer voice rang out unswervingly, and Duan Qing, who had been waiting for a long time without waiting for a continuation of his answer, also sighed deeply, and at the same time pressed his forehead with his fingers: "So we finally returned to the original question." “

"What exactly is the experiment that was going on here?"

He pursed his mouth, but the light in his eyes added a bit of seriousness and seriousness, and Kyle II, who was walking in front, fell into a longer silence, and only after a while did he reverberate the long-established answer to the heavy footsteps that were still regular: "Please check the permissions." ”

“…… I X. ”

couldn't help but burst out with a foul word, and Duan Qing, who was a little pale, exhaled the breath he had been holding for a long time and exhaled vigorously: "Forget it, let's change to a better question: for such a long time, is there really no other 'visitor' who has arrived here?" ”

"Absolutely." Kyle II's square head moved up and down in accordance with human custom: "Not all of the visitors have accepted my reception, though, and even though some of them are highly intelligent first-order beings, they don't seem to want to communicate with me amicably. ”

"Uh...... Maybe your appearance is a little too wild. Instantly imagining the scene that had happened between the people who had come here and this magical creation, Duan Qing couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead: "But that's it...... Not. ”

"I don't have much hope, but I'll ask one more question - are there any humans with chains among those visitors?"
