"Huh?"

At the moment when the spiritual power invaded the wall and was blocked, Cheng Lin couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart.

In his perception, there seemed to be a layer of aura barrier inside the wall, making it difficult for his spiritual power to penetrate.

After a little hesitation, Cheng Lin turned off the "synaesthesia" and did not try to force it with more force.

Although he can try to break through this barrier through the mental storm, this is obviously some kind of device within the research institute, empathy, if it is himself who arranges this barrier, he will definitely take into account the situation that someone forcibly breaks through, and it is best to do it later.

If you act recklessly, you are very likely to trigger the alarm device.

gave up the invasion, but Cheng Lin was even more confused.

"What's in there? It's still being protected. ”

After thinking for a while, he had no clue, so he settled down and stood outside the door and waited, and after a while, a familiar figure appeared at the other end of the corridor - gray hair, a ruddy and healthy face, wearing glasses, his eyes were soft and sharp, and his body was full of a strong scholarly style.

It was Professor Wu Mingxun, who was wearing a white coat and black leather shoes with shoe covers...... It looks like he's just come from a lab.

"Dean Wu."

Cheng Lin took the initiative to say hello.

Then I saw Wu Mingxun suddenly push the pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, and smiled: "I heard that you were promoted to the fourth grade before, I didn't dare to believe it, but today I saw that it was so, although it was late, but congratulations." ”

Cheng Lin hurriedly said a few polite words, but fortunately, Professor Wu is not a person who likes to play official too much, and he is still a scholar in his bones, so he pulled Cheng Lin to chat a few words and got to the point:

"I invite you to come over this time, mainly because there is a very important item that needs to be repaired with the help of your ability."

"I don't know what kind of artifact you want to repair?"

Cheng Lin asked curiously.

Professor Wu shook his head mysteriously, "To be precise, it's not a 'magic weapon' but a device. ”

Device?

The young man in front of the meeting looked confused and didn't understand what he meant, Professor Wu smiled slightly, took out an access card from the pocket of his white coat, and then pasted it on a black tile on the wall on the right side of the silver-white alloy door next to him.

Then I heard a slight "drip" sound, and the closed door opened silently, and it was actually a slide rail.

With the opening of the gate, many scenes inside finally came into Cheng Lin's eyes.

It was an empty space similar to a gymnasium, with no ceiling between the first and second floors, and the entire height was more than six meters, and the ceiling was lit up the moment the door opened, and it was densely covered with white light tubes.

The interior is made of solid wood, very clean, but not spotless, although the space inside is huge, but it does not appear empty, because there are many objects scattered in the room, including some strange shapes, unknown instruments, most of which are exposed to the air, and a small part is covered with a white cloth, which has not been used.

There is also an office desk made of two desks on the wall, on which are placed two computers, both with black screens, and there are many drawings scattered on the table, printed on A3 paper, which look similar to engineering parts drawings at a glance, but look very different.

The most eye-catching thing in the room are some tall objects covered with white cloth, the shortest is more than two meters, and the tallest one is located in the center of the whole room, placed on a strange jade pedestal, the height is about three meters, the width is more than one meter, covered by a white cloth, reminiscent of an art statue.

"This is ......"

Cheng Lin stood at the door, staring at the room in surprise.

Wu Mingxun smiled slightly, walked in, and said, "Come in and say, this is your workplace next." ”

"Do I need to wear shoe covers? Or a change of clothes? Cheng Lin hesitated.

"No, there's no dust-free requirement here," the silver-haired old scholar explained with a smile, and then walked straight to the "statue" in the middle of the room, and said, "I came to you to repair this device, of course, not such a large whole, but a piece of it, well, a part." ”

Cheng Lin stepped on the wooden floor, took a deep breath, and approached, only to find that the pedestal was actually carved with dense lines, which seemed to have several layers, stacked together, and the top was a six-pointed star pattern.

"It's ...... What the? ”

Cheng Lin suddenly felt that this thing was very familiar.

"Good stuff, you'll know when you see it."

The old scholar suddenly stepped onto the pedestal in a few steps, then stretched out his hand and grabbed the corner of the white cloth, and ripped it off suddenly, and then, Cheng Lin's pupils suddenly constricted, and he almost blurted out the word "puppet", but fortunately stopped in time, and then exclaimed:

"It's ...... Altar Guard?! ”

In front of him, as the white cloth was torn off, the true face of the "statue" was revealed:

Tall and majestic dark gold armor, covering the whole picture, holding a spear with an extremely flamboyant shape, the head covered with iron armor, a pair of gray eyes looked down without emotion, although lifeless, but carrying inexplicable majesty.

This is a psionic puppet and a radiant knight.

And it's not an ordinary model, it's a six-core puppet, the Radiant Knight Chief!

"Why is it here? Hasn't it been shattered by Shen Shanjing? ”

Cheng Lin's breathing was tight, his heart was like a mess, in his memory, the Radiant Knight Captain had already been destroyed and disappeared because of a vicious battle with Shen Shanjing who opened the golden body in front of the bronze gate, and faded along with the projection, and there were no fragments left, but why is there one here?

"Nope! This is not the one that Shen Shanjing broke down, but it should be another one in the projection explored by the Second Division of the Demon Capital! ”

According to the information that Cheng Lin knew, when the "altar" projection appeared, and all parts of the world were explored simultaneously, it was the second division of the demon capital that took the lead in opening up the fifth layer and touching the center, which attracted the holy statue Qi Hui to fly away.

In this way, it can be deduced that before Cheng Lin, the second division should have obtained the center a long time ago, so it is reasonable to defeat the six-core puppet and transport it out.

"So, what I have in front of me now is the harvest of the second division's original exploration? Well, after getting it, it was handed over to the research institute for research and restoration? Wu Mingxun called me here this time just to repair this puppet? ”

Cheng Lin instantly figured out what had happened, held back his surprise, turned his head to look at the smiling old scholar, and listened to Professor Wu's tone of pride and said: "This is indeed the altar guard, but it is not the low-level goods you have ever seen, but the senior guard who guards the gate of the fifth floor of the altar, in that second division exploration operation, among all the gains, the value ranking second in the comprehensive ranking!" ”

After a pause, seeing the surprised look on the face of the young man in front of him, Wu Mingxun smiled and asked, "Do you know what the item with the highest value is?" ”

"Control the Crystal Ball, I guess." Cheng Lin replied silently in his heart, but on the surface, he shook his head "honestly", "What is it?" ”

Then, seeing the white-haired old scholar smile proudly, he took out a crystal clear sphere from a cabinet behind him with his backhand, and then introduced it with an admiring look and tone: "This is it, control the central crystal ball!" ”
