Chapter 15: The Opening of the Hidden Portal

Unknown location, Laboratory 9. "Blake, are you nervous right now?" Suddenly, a voice rang out in the utterly quiet environment. I don't know if it's because the surroundings are too quiet, and it's obviously not much louder than whispering, but it sounds like I'm standing in front of everyone and giving a speech. "You shouldn't have removed everybody." Booker said with his hands on his shoulders and a frown. "Without knowing what exactly is on the other side, I think it would be more convenient if it was just the two of us." Rey replied unhurriedly. He knew that someone else who wasn't Blake was standing side by side with him right now would say something similar. "Listen, I don't mean to accuse you. However, don't you think that's a bit ...... Unwise? Bregon looked at Rey, pondered his words, and said in a somewhat sharp voice.

"Believe I've thought through the questions you might have in mind." Rey replied dryly. He suddenly felt a little irritated, thinking about what he had seen a few nights ago. Goodbye to Lab Nine, he always felt a little illusion in front of his eyes. He twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, and continued, "This is the best solution I can think of. "However, this place has not been used for so many years. In case the ...... has been checked no less than three times, the line is intact and can be used normally. Rey interrupted Blake with some impatience, "The only problem now is the lack of energy. That's all. The moment he stopped talking, Rey seemed to hear a scream - which undoubtedly made his mood worse. Kindness...... I didn't say I didn't believe you. Blake paused for a moment, then said lightly, "I just think we were in a bit of a hurry. And, you're in ...... state" At this point, Blake stopped. Then, he added in his heart: it's not normal.

It's impossible to say that you are not worried. But for Blake to say it himself—except for Cassius, it would be fatal for him. "Me?!" Rey was startled and came to his senses in an instant. "I'm sorry, I lost my temper." He said slowly, half-squinting, as he bent slightly towards Blake. Ray was surprised to interrupt Blake or something—he hadn't even realized the problem at all. "It's fine." Blake shrugged his shoulders and replied in a tone of nonchalance. "In order to avoid long nights and dreams, I think it is the right thing to do to open the teleportation channel as soon as possible." Immediately afterward, Blake said lightly, "But before that, you might as well tell me what you are hiding?" "Oh, what?" Rey took a step back and frowned. "I ...... It's really nothing. He said with some surprise, placing his left hand behind his back and pinching the small piece of fabric of his white shirt with his fingers.

"Didn't we know each other on the first day?" Blake hugged Rey, put his hands on his shoulders, raised his head slightly, and said word by word, "You are impatient, anxious, deliberately suppressing your emotions today, restless, and your eyes are scattered, saying one thing but making people think that you are thinking about something else. Please forgive me for being rude now, but...... Even Gaia, the god of war, would never think that your current situation is caused by your current nervousness. "......" Rey frowned, not saying a word. After a long while, he slowly asked, "I'm acting ...... Is it that obvious? "You didn't even realize it, how serious do you think it is?" Blake curled the corner of his mouth on the right side and said with a very rare smile. Rey would interrupt himself, which made Blake immediately realize that something was wrong with Rey.

"Well, actually, nothing matters...... Rey whispered, feeling a little embarrassed. Are you fooling me? Blake asked coldly. He didn't mind if Rey had any little secrets of his own, but Rey's attitude made him feel a little unhappy. What's more, Rey's mood is not stable now, and if something happens, he Blake won't have time to cry. "I'm just a little worried, about some personal matters." Rey gritted his teeth, smiled at Blake, and replied, "Thank you for your concern, but I'm really fine." "Rey didn't want to tell Blake about those records now — maybe later, but definitely not now.

"Alright, let's go now." Hearing Rey say this, Blake was too embarrassed to ask any more if he had a thicker skin than the corner of the wall—not to mention that he hadn't. He took the lead in walking towards the hidden corridor where he had been discovered, as if he had thought of something, he stopped again, and said lightly: "If something goes wrong, just say it." Although the Ziyang is not good, it can be regarded as one of the three main ships. Although I hate to admit it, you are the captain of the God of War Alliance. With that, he walked forward without looking back. I'll remember. Rey smiled and took a step to keep up with Blake. He suddenly felt light, but not too easy—at least the few unnamed things that had been pressing on his heart these days had lessened a lot. The steel plates that hide the corridor have long since been removed by the crazy Byron's experimenters, who make it effortlessly to the second portal.

"There is no connection between the energy unit of this portal and the main energy bank of this laboratory." Blake stood in front of the portal, looked left and right, and didn't find the switch. "yes, it's completely separate here." Rey walked to the right side of the portal, touched the metal wall with his hand, and said, "Our people also found this corridor through energy scattering scanning. "The wall after being touched by Rey lit up with a rectangular light blue square frame with a side length of thirty centimeters, and the wall inside the light frame silently recessed inwards and then rose upwards, revealing the dark chamber inside." Ten blocks of energy, enough to last for a day. Rey said as he reached out to Blake and looked inside the chamber. Hold on. Blake put the backpack on the ground, crouched down, and unzipped the bag, revealing the neatly folded boxy blocks of energy inside.

Those energy blocks were ten centimeters long, four centimeters wide, and three centimeters high, shimmering with a somewhat hazy rainbow-colored light. Blake picked up an energy block and handed it to Rey. Rey took the block and loaded it into the energy device in the chamber. The two of them repeated these actions until the ten energy blocks were reloaded. Black had never thought of reloading the energy blocks himself, as he hadn't tried to reload so many at once before - if something went wrong, it would be troublesome. "Alright." Blake stood up and put his backpack back behind him when he heard Rey say this. "Click!" A voice came from the dark cabin. "The energy is on." Rey walked over to the portal and stood to Blake's right, "How many energy blocks are left?" ”

"Four." Blake stared at the pale blue teleportation tunnel that was slowly lighting up—unlike the last time he had seen it in the Ziyang's escape pod—and replied, "You can only hold a maximum of fourteen pieces in the shipping bag, and you can't take a normal package. "That should be enough." Rey also looked at the teleportation channel getting brighter and brighter, thought for a moment, and then replied. Suddenly, he added, "The energy block can't be compressed, that's a problem. "......" Blake opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't say anything. The energy block is originally a high-concentration entity energy obtained by compressing pure energy, how do you, the Helka Star Elve, want to compress it?! Blake twitched the corners of his mouth to hide his shocked heart. Eventually, he took a deep breath and said, "I'll do whatever you want, as long as I don't blow up the Byron experimental module and affect me." As soon as Rey said this, Blake immediately understood what he was thinking.

"We'll take it one step at a time." Rey shrugged his shoulders and smiled very rebelliously like Rey, then replied. "Are you possessed by the ancient Helkas?" Blake crossed his hands over his shoulders, looked at the portal in front of him that was gradually stabilizing, and asked word by word, "Or have all you Byron people become like this?" "It's time for us to go." Rey laughed and gestured to the portal. "Cut." Blake pursed the corners of his lips, but agreed with Rey's words. "But you're right, the people on the Byron are getting a little crazy." The two of them walked in unison towards the portal. "Oh, really?" A second after the blue light of the portal engulfed the two figures, Blake's voice echoed through the empty hallway. The portal shimmered with a bright blue light of pale blue - that was the first time it had been lit.
