Chapter 1237: The Gap in the Mind (Part I)

When the gray-robed man walked to the factory building, which was exactly the same as the surrounding laboratory, his eyelids couldn't help but jump when he looked at the door lock.

Damn, it's not an ordinary door lock or a magic lock, it's a 'mechanism combination lock'!

The gray-robed man looked at the door lock in front of him like an octagon, with incomprehensible words and patterns written on it, and his face suddenly became tangled and melancholy.

This...... This may be one of the 'otherworldly knowledge' brought by the head maid, right?The text should have been translated, but these graphics don't have anything to refer to, so it can be confirmed that the news they got really may not be fake news deliberately released by the Principality of Sorrowful Winds, otherwise, the door lock here can't be so complicated.

If it was really a trap, the door lock here shouldn't be so complicated, otherwise if you just turned around and ran away now, no matter how fast the others were, it would not be as fast as a legendary wanderer.

The previous arrangements can be avoided, but this door lock can't, if everything is a trap now, then the door lock doesn't need to be so complicated at all, at least in order to let an intruder like him relax his vigilance and use some door locks that seem more cumbersome, but can still be opened by conventional methods, this is more normal.

But now everything is showing that the information they have heard from the undercover agents is very likely to be 'true'...... In other words, the Principality of Sorrowful Wind may have actually found a way to create an 'Elemental Furnace', and is now stepping up experiments.

Although this matter is based on their speculation, the organization believes that those two notebooks are in the hands of the Principality of Sorrowful Wind, the [Ship of the Star Sea] has a complete elemental furnace, and the security of the R&D area has suddenly increased, all of these things seem to indicate one thing!

His actions this time, even if the target he saw was not the elemental furnace, but the information of something else, then it was worth it.

Something that can improve the security force of the Winde City R&D District so much is quite precious to the Duchy of Sorrow, and even to the world of Asathom.

Moreover, the previous epoch-making inventions coming out of the R&D area only strengthened his confidence in this action - as long as it was not a trap, then this harvest might have a huge inspiration for the empire.

Thinking like this, the gray-robed man silently put on a monocle that could see through the outer shell of the door lock and peek into the structure of the mechanism.

With the help of the glasses, it took him two hours to finally unlock the lock.

It was also to avoid the frequent patrolling guards, otherwise, he wouldn't have spent as long as two hours - who would have thought that the guards would go out of their way to fumble with the door lock to ensure the safety of the laboratory while patrolling?

As for why he went through the gate, was it because in such a place, was it possible that the head maid didn't make some arrangements for the ventilation ducts?

What's more, the ventilation duct is also a special product of the Principality of Sorrowful Wind, and only this country will design the ventilation duct scheme when building a building, and the rest of the place, only when building underground buildings, will the ventilation duct be designed.

In that kind of narrow place, if you really bump into something, then you will die unjustly.

It was okay if the ventilation duct was broken—as long as it could kill the enemy and block the intruders, then it didn't matter how many times the ventilation duct broke, and if it was broken, it could be repaired again anyway—he believed that the head maid must have thought so, judging by her usual practice.

Ever since it became clear that the head maid was a growing threat to their organization, someone in the group set up a task for the head maid and created a research group.

Even when manpower was at its most scarce, they didn't send members of that group to other research groups, because over time they found that the head maid was too much of a threat to them and to the Empire, and they had to take it seriously.

Some lube was dripped on the door shaft, and to be honest, the people of the Principality of Sorrow were too immoral.

They didn't even lubricate the door shaft, if he wasn't cautious, as soon as he opened the door, his whereabouts would have been directly exposed.

Even after lubricating the door shaft, the gray-robed man still didn't act immediately, he stood nervously in front of the door, constantly looking up and down, for fear that the Principality of Sorrow would do something 'small trick' on it.

Thankfully, after two or three checks, I still didn't find any signs.

With a slight sigh of relief, the gray-robed man raised his gloved left hand and pulled open the front door of the lab.

This glove is able to insulate the temperature, and it also distributes the power evenly throughout the doorknob, so even if the Principality of Screaming Wind has designed a 'sensor' on the doorknob, it will not be able to detect it by either heat or pressure sensing.

For this operation, they had been preparing for a long time, and before that, the organization had already made many plans to deal with the Principality of Sorrowful Wind, but each time the plan was not fully finalized, the Principality of Sorrowful Wind came up with something new, making the plan in their hand invalid.

But in the process, they also accumulated a lot of things and acquired some new technologies, and now the equipment on his body is a by-product of those plans.

Pulling out a narrow gap in the front door, the gray-robed man slipped in, and then carefully closed the door, which was a little more relieved.

After experiencing so many traps of lack of virtue before, his nerves have been completely tensed, and he is afraid that if he is not careful, what if this door makes a loud noise when it closes?

After closing the door, the gray-robed man still did not act immediately, but scanned the surrounding of the corridor under his feet with a sharp gaze, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he confirmed that there were indeed no monitors, nor any traps or traps.

Then, he walked slowly forward with cautious steps, each step falling as if he had been walking on the sand before - what if there was pressure sensing somewhere under his feet?

He had to admit that everything before was about to torture him crazy, and he should be careful to complete a perfect infiltration, but it shouldn't be like this!

Now he is like a nervous person, afraid that there will be some immoral mechanism somewhere, which will lead to the failure of his infiltration this time.

His mission this time was different from the previous ones, not to assassinate anyone, but to destroy and steal information, if killing people would solve the problem, he would like to do so, but unfortunately, killing those guards would not solve the problem at all.

Even now, he didn't know where it was stored, but the computer as thick as a steel plate could help him find the answers, as long as he could gather enough information beforehand.

After taking a light breath and turning on the 'tracking mode', many footprints and palm prints appeared in his monocle, and he was looking for the ones that appeared the latest.

At the end of the day's research, the researchers should need to aggregate and organize the records, and then store or destroy them together, which is what the researchers in the organization do, and presumably the Duchy of the Winds of Sorrow should be similar.

Walking slowly through the dark corridors, there was no light around, but with his excellent sense of direction and hearing, the gray-robed man was still able to walk freely in this research institute.

In the lenses, the imprints that emitted faint fluorescence were of different levels, and the imprint closest to the present time had been marked, and it was included in the calculation, and soon, a path appeared in his eyes.

The gray-robed man walked slowly along the marked path, even if he didn't find it this time, he could continue to search, anyway, the night was still long, and he still had a lot of time.

Soon after, though, he stopped.

It was also at this time that a snap of the fingers snapped, and the surrounding lights lit up!
