Chapter 52: Control the Hub
"Incense...... The incense is poisonous. ”
Zheng Ming, who was half-kneeling on the ground, muttered weakly and then fell to the ground, turning his head with difficulty to look at Sikoute. It happened to be opposite to the strange-looking Siscoute who was standing in place not far away.
Looking at Zheng Ming, who was lying on the ground in front of him and struggling in pain, the corners of Sikeut's mouth twitched violently a few times, and he said softly: "My lord." There is no poison in this incense. It only has the effect of refreshing the mind. ”
Under the teasing chuckle of Sikoute, Zheng Ming, who was originally full of pain, looked stunned, and he hurriedly said as if unintentionally: "Oops? Could it be that the poison in the barbecue meat I ate before finally worked? ”
Hearing Zheng Ming's words, Ciscoute smiled helplessly. He shrugged his shoulders and explained to Zheng Ming.
"Don't tease me, sir. I made the poison myself. Symptoms aside, the onset of poison is very rapid. Now that so much time has passed, it is impossible to be poisoned. ”
"Oh. I see. ”
The tentative act was exposed in person, and Rao was Zheng Ming's thick skin, and his cheeks began to heat slightly. It quickly stood up and put on a serious expression.
"Uh-huh...... That one...... I was suddenly a little sick before. Give me the necklace. You go in first. I came then. ”
Sikowut didn't say anything, he smiled at Zheng Ming, respectfully handed over the necklace in his hand, and then turned around and walked towards the passage in the center of the black wall without looking away.
As he reached out and pressed towards the passage, the liquid barrier on it, like oil, suddenly fluctuated around the center of his palm.
"Your Excellency. Don't worry too much, there's nothing dangerous here. ”
After turning his head to remind Zheng Ming, he was wrapped in a black liquid like a living thing, and then disappeared without a trace.
"Huh? This is in? This black thing looks like venom. It can't be a trap, right? ”
Seeing that there was no trace of Sikout, Zheng Ming muttered to himself in a low voice. It paced and struggled in place for a while, gritting its teeth and making up its mind.
"Mimicry. Goblin form. ”
This is the new form obtained by Zheng Ming by absorbing the clone that had been ambushed in advance. It was the doppelganger who devoured the goblins that were in ambush.
I saw that after activating its mimic ability, it turned into a goblin with light blue and pointed ears and fangs. It is about the same height as a normal goblin, about half a human tall.
However, unlike the emaciated and ugly goblins, the goblins it transformed into were muscular and well-proportioned, with protruding muscles on their knee-length sandbag-sized fists. There is a fierce aura all over the body.
It touched its pointed ears and face in a strange way, then took a deep breath and reached out to press the black liquid in the passage in the same way as Siscoute had done before.
Sticky, warm, without the pain of hypoxic suffocation.
Before Zheng Ming, who had closed his eyes tightly, came back to his senses, it was swept into the passage by a sudden burst of black liquid.
As the feeling of being wrapped in warm mud on his body faded away, Zheng Ming opened his eyes. The room full of technology in front of me suddenly came into view.
The room is not big, about 100 square meters. The four walls are smooth as mirrors, and the whole is composed of objects similar to the previous black walls, on which silver lines crisscross and finally intersect in one place, forming a complex rectangular circuit diagram. The glowing silver light illuminates the room as if it were daytime.
In the center of the room was a pitch-black column, on which the ball of light emitted a cold blue glow was unusually conspicuous.
I saw that the surface of this light ball was composed of fine blue light, which was too dense and emitted blue light, so it looked like a unified light ball.
Zheng Ming took a closer look and immediately found that these thin blue lines that formed the blue ball of light were composed of countless tiny lines that looked like words and codes.
The sudden slight sound startled Zheng Ming, who was observing the basket-colored ball of light, and it hurriedly looked in the direction where the sound came from. I saw that the Cisco Ut, who had entered one step earlier, was standing on the side, and there was unconcealed fear on his face.
The two looked at each other quietly for a while, and it was Sikoute who came back to his senses first. With a puzzled look in his eyes, he tried to ask out loud, "My lord? Are you a slime-slime? ”
Zheng Ming took a deep look at the shocked face, and his eyes showed fear in his eyes, and said lightly: "You are very smart." I can recognize me when I'm changed. ”
"Your Excellency, you've won the prize. I didn't expect adults to be so powerful and ever-changing. Not only can you turn into a human, but you can also become a goblin. ”
"Oh, it's just a trick."
"Your Excellency, you are too modest. How can your supernatural powers be compared to those superficial tricks? ”
It was obvious that Siscoute's sycophant slapped on the horse's hooves, and I saw Zheng Ming's eyes narrowing slightly after hearing his words, and his tone suddenly turned cold.
"Oh? What does it seem? How do you know that what I am now is not in vain? ”
Hearing Zheng Ming's inquiry, he realized that the face of the Cisco Wut who had leaked his mouth changed, and he quickly knelt on the ground and buckled his head.
"Your Excellency, spare your life. The villain didn't mean to hide it. The previous gate was not lethal, but would keep foreigners out. The villain didn't mean to murder the adult. I just want to take out the map that adults need and ....... ”
Seeing that Sikowut explained with a panicked expression, Zheng Ming interrupted his tirade.
"Forget it. I don't care about you this time. But if I find out that you are in charge of me again, then I will make you understand the cost of deceiving me. Get up. ”
Sikowut knelt on the ground, carefully looking at Zheng Ming's face, and refused to get up.
"What? Do you want me to help you? ”
Seeing that Zheng Ming's face was sinking and his tone was impatient, Ciscoute no longer hesitated and hurriedly got up.
He saw that after he got up, Zheng Ming no longer paid attention to him, and hurriedly followed Zheng Ming's line of sight.
"Your Excellency. The villain had heard the old priest say that this blue ball of light seemed to be called the 'Control Center'. ”
"Control the center?"
Hearing Zheng Ming's vaguely puzzled voice, Cisco Wut breathed a sigh of relief. He hurriedly stepped forward and told the information he knew, hoping to make up for it.
"Yes. I heard the old priest say that this inheritance chamber is a key in itself. Yes, it can be moved. And the way to move is in this 'control center'. ”
"Oh? What else did he say? ”
Cisco Ut hesitated, wondering if he should hide it. However, when he saw Zheng Ming's smiling expression and deep eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, he trembled all over his body, and cold sweat was like rain. He hurriedly and respectfully confided everything he knew.
"He said that our village had a long time ago in a noble place among the goblins. And here is the key to our legacy that has been passed down from generation to generation. He said that one day, if he had the opportunity, he would take this key to find the place of inheritance and inherit the long-lost knowledge and power of the Goblin Clan. And also...... Dignity! ”
"Oh? Did he tell you how to turn on this 'control center'? ”
"Yes. He said that the Goblin Clan had to hold the Magic Stone Key to open it. As for the method of opening...... It is to put the magic stone key into the blue ball of light. ”
Speaking of this, Siscoute glanced at Zheng Ming, and explained as if he remembered something: "Oh, the magic stone key is the necklace that the adults were going to go to before. ”
"Nothing dangerous?"
"As long as it's a goblin, it's not dangerous. As for the foreigners, I don't know. If the adult is not at ease, the villain can do it for him. ”
Zheng Ming glanced at the Siscoute in front of him, whose eyes were flickering and his face was full of hope, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then said lightly: "I'll believe you again." I hope you didn't lie to me. ”
"Don't dare, don't dare."
Under the continuous voice of Cisco Ute, Zheng Ming, who had made up his mind, strode forward. I saw that its face was full of solemnity, and the right hand holding the necklace resolutely crashed into the blue ball of light.
"Boom."
Suddenly, Zheng Ming's eyes were blue, and his brain roared. The blinding light made it close its eyes, and the loud roar made it distract slightly. The continuous sound waves poured into his ears, and Zheng Ming suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and a feeling of lightheadedness rose from the bottom of his heart.
"Oops. It was shaded again. ”
Suddenly encountering a great change, Zheng Ming only had time to secretly cry out in his heart that it was bad, and he fell into a state of distraction.
