Volume 1 Chapter 284 Expedition
March 2, 438 A.D. at 5:40 a.m
"How would you feel if someone from the National Guard saw it?
This Master Li Tianlin is crazy, he won't touch me with his tongue, right?
I'm going to let us come here, it's not going to be a trap, is it?
Oh my God~ It's disgusting! ”
Musk, the director of Cook, and the two old men, thinking of the terrifying picture in their minds, have retreated to the corner of the room by supporting each other.
"Let's make it~Hmm~ This taste is very special~"
Master Li Tianlin finally stopped the spicy eye movement of his long tongue on 007's chest, and Hanazawa Coriander on the side did not react much, and seemed to have been accustomed to it for a long time.
Master Li Tianlin pursed his mouth, savoring the unique taste, and said to the two frightened guys in the corner.
"Huh? Why are you two hiding so far away?
Come on~ huh? Come here! ”
"No, no, no~ Let's just watch it here~"
The two old men in the corner, their heads shaking like rattles, were afraid from the bottom of their hearts to approach Master Li Tianlin again.
"Oh? Ahaha~ Two guests, I think you think too much, let you be frightened! Finish!
It's my lack of thought to tell you that my tongue has been modified and strengthened to have a genetically tasting functional prosthesis.
Of course, for the world, it may be a little evil~heyhehehe~"
Master Li Tianlin was wearing a pure white overalls, and his temperament was somewhat similar to that of King Stan, but this one was a little excessive, and he didn't seem to be able to put his tongue in his mouth, which was too disobedient.
"This, so? It was we who misunderstood Master Li Tianlin! ”
It was Director Cook who was more knowledgeable, and only then did he dare to take a tentative step towards the center of the room, as if there was a tiger out of the cage in front of him.
"I said, are you two finished?
Let's take a closer look at 007!
Don't you also need to explain the situation to our big benefactor, Lady Elizabeth? ”
"Master, it's good to say it!
We hear you! ”
Musk can't care about his face at this time.
"Well, there are a few things to report to you.
The black active substance appears to have completely parasitized SCP-007.
I'm still unsure how much control this substance has over 007.
The pros and cons are also difficult to judge for a while.
What is certain is that 007 is not life-threatening at this time.
Whereas, the endoskeletal alloy armor in 007's body has been forcibly removed.
What I need you to convey to Miss Elizabeth is that the mecha I purchased from Shangfeng involves a brain-computer interface, and it is likely that it will not be able to be used on 007's body.
That is, the money may be spent in vain! ”
"What the hell is that black active substance?
Will there be the same danger as the blackened orcs on the field again?
We're not in danger, are we? ”
Director Cook regained some of his looks.
"The specifics need to be tested to be sure.
Can you two get closer? My next words are still about some confidentiality!
Coriander, you go out first to avoid it~"
Master Li Tianlin seemed to remember something, and said in a low voice.
"Yes! Teacher! ”
Kana Hanazawa glanced at 007 and walked straight out of the room.
"And secrets?"
Director Cook took his junior brother Chairman Musk and moved to Master Li Tianlin's side.
"To tell you the truth, my career has a lot to do with my own interests.
In addition to technological artifacts, I personally like to collect all kinds of natural and mysterious objects and even stories.
Some time ago, I heard from an old friend that an expedition had discovered a new miracle in the southwestern region of the continent of Osblow! ”
Master Li Tianlin's voice became lower and lower, and it seemed that the information in his heart was not as mysterious as this news.
"Miracles? What the heck?
Aren't we relatively serious micro-Microsoft sci-fi? Is this a miracle?
What am I talking about? ”
Director Cook suddenly said something inexplicable.
"Senior, don't interrupt Master Li Tianlin's words!"
Musk's ears were pricked up, motioning for Master Li Tianlin to continue.
"Oh, it's classified, and it's quite a bit of my own speculation.
Some time ago my collection went online and sold me a piece of metal that didn't seem to belong in this world.
And the origin of this piece of metal is said to be in the southwestern mountains of the Osbhui continent.
At that time, most of the expedition team did not return, and it is unknown whether there was an accident during the miracle or whether it was wiped out by the orc forces that appeared later. ”
"Huh? Why didn't I understand what you were saying? Aside from a piece of metal, is there any accurate information about what you said?
Including miracles is a name that you have chosen casually yourself? ”
"Miracles are the name of the Upper Peak system, and my level is not enough to detect the operational intelligence of the Upper Peak.
However, I do know that the approximate time of the appearance of the blackened orcs is exactly what happened after the local Radiant Faith sect and the scientific truth will go out in a big way to perform miracles. ”
"You're saying the black active substance is a miracle? It was the people from the upper peak who obtained this substance and went back to create the blackened orcs? ”
Director Cook finally understood what Master Li Tianlin was going to express.
"What is the name in the upper-peak system? Osbhai is a mountainous region southwest of the continent?
Could it be that this incident you are talking about is the very famous mass disappearance of bounty hunters that caused a lot of uproar last year? ”
Chairman Musk remembered some clues.
"That's right! That's it! ”
"I know of this incident because one of the more successful local farmers hired bounty hunters to solve the problem of losing livestock so often.
But then several teams went one after another, but they all disappeared completely.
This caught the attention of the Bounty Hunters' Guild, who suspected that the farmer had set up a plot to kill the bounty hunters, and a higher-level team was sent to investigate. ”
Chairman Musk talked about this strange story that he heard at the wine table at the time, and he still remembers it vividly.
"I've heard about it, too, and I've made a special trip to inquire about it afterwards.
The higher-level team went and only one of the camp guards survived, and it is said that they found a huge underground cave complex!
Unknown imprints of biological activity!
Then it attracted the interest of some local elites, and even the Bounty Hunters League itself organized a larger expedition.
And then suddenly there was no news about it.
It's as if all those in the know have disappeared! ”
Director Cook clearly wanted to be a part of it at the time.
"I also learned later that the two local factions of the Shangfeng system, the Radiant Faith Sect and the Scientific Truth Society, have sent teams there.
Combined with what I have seen with my own eyes now, the black active substance in 007's body, as well as other information that has been learned before.
I am convinced of the existence of miracles! ”
"So, Master, what do you mean?"
Director Cook asked Master Li Tianlin, but he was thinking, where did you see it with your own eyes, obviously you tasted it with your own tongue.
"To keep it a secret, I want to form an expedition team and go to the miracle to find out!
The Institute of Science and Technology Equipment can be responsible, of course, the funds still need to be funded by the two and Ms. Elizabeth! ”
Master Li Tianlin is an old pedant, so naturally he doesn't have the twists and turns of businessmen, and he thinks and says anything.
"This? Is this too risky? Guru!
Not to mention anything else, it was said that at that time, the Osfpu Continent, which already lacked a team of high-level bounty hunters, lost almost one-third of its team.
What's more, all of you people on the upper side have been there! What more do you think we can gain? ”
"Yes! Guru!
To be honest, money is a small thing, what I don't understand is, what do you want out of such a high-risk thing?
I don't see any benefit in this! ”
Director Cook and Chairman Musk have the same opinion, not to mention that there is danger there, and I'm afraid it's too late to go.
"As a businessman, you're looking for profit, and that's fine.
What I'm chasing is the exploration of the unknown.
Of course, for you, there are naturally benefits.
Look! ”
Master Li Tianlin said, took out a ring-sized carbon black sheet from his pocket, and lightly scratched the metal operating table where 007 was lying next to him, and a deep incision appeared on the table, and the cut surface was flat like a mirror.
"This, this is the little thing you bought?"
In the eyes of Director Cook and Director Musk, there was an instant release of a strange brilliance, although the material used in the metal operating table is not a high-strength metal, but looking at the incision, even the diamond in the cognition can't do it.
"Exactly, to tell you the truth, this item was purchased from the scavengers in that area.
That is, it is possible to obtain this exotic metal even if it is not a core area.
For you, it's okay to go and buy with the money, and there is no risk.
If I get enough of this metal, I can't talk about research and production, but at least I can make a peerless weapon for 007. ”
Master Li Tianlin spoke eloquently, and it seemed that he had already decided to form this expedition no matter what.
"It seems pretty good to hear you say that~"
"And that's just the lowest goal!
I suspect that the black active substance was most likely found in the massive underground caverns.
There's another piece of information that I believe you don't have! This information also strengthened my determination to go for a trip! “
Master Li Tianlin said, and sold Guanzi again.
"What information?"
"Master Li Tianlin, I suddenly feel that if the orcs go to the miracle, there must be a limit to what they can find!
If you go, even if there are only a few clues left, you will definitely find something new! ”
Chairman Musk is telling the truth, cracking the secret of the black active substance is obviously also harmful to 007.
"Chairman Musk, you're right!
As long as I can go there, even if there is nothing, I think I can find out quite a secret.
Another piece of information is that Kevin in the gladiatorial arena, Kevin in the Kevin Welfare Institute, Kevin with almost perfect defense, has also been there! ”
The news that Master Li Tianlin whispered made the two people present feel a sense of surprise.
