Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Strange Room
There was a thin layer of ash in front of the dark red bronze door, which looked like the ashes that the phantom had turned into after his death, but it was different.
The ashes that the phantom demon turned into after his death were actually too damaged by the phantom demon, and he could no longer control the balance between the phantom energy and human genes, and the phantom energy in his body spontaneously combusted, and finally only the phantom beads condensed by soul energy were left.
This spontaneous combustion is not very complete, and there are often some hard bones and flesh tissues left in the ashes. And now the ashes in front of the copper door are as fine as powder, and they are evenly sprinkled in front of the door, and when you look closely, it looks like rust powder scraped off the metal.
Qin Lun put away the space-time energy collector, and now, the progress of his space-time core mission has reached 3/10. Immediately, he looked up at the bronze gate on the right, then at the bloody pit on the left, and then turned and walked towards the bronze door.
Qin Lun didn't know what the layer of ashes in front of the bronze door was, maybe it was the phantom guard, or maybe it was the phantom trap on the bronze door. However, he believed that Matthew and the others must have already entered, and even if there was danger inside, they should be eliminated by now.
Despite this, Qin Lun was still very careful. He ate a piece of rye cake to make up for the health he had lost from a previous neck injury. He took out the only self-healing crystal and pinched it in his hand, summoning the black bear BEN, which allowed the summoned creature to slowly push open the bronze door.
Qin Lun's prudence saved his life, and as soon as the black bear Ben entered the bronze gate, he let out a miserable scream. Qin Lun, who was standing behind BEN, saw a flash of cold light in front of him, and the upper body of the black bear was splashed with blood, and he froze in place. It's just that the body of the black bear is huge. Stuck between two bronze doors, preventing the copper doors from closing on their own.
Qin Lun's eyes flashed, and through the gap between the two bronze doors, he could see clearly what the black bear was killing. I saw a half-moon-shaped axe like a shovel at the top of the door frame, which slashed into the left rib of the black bear and pierced out the right rib, almost cutting the upper half of Ben's body into two pieces.
The corners of Qin Lun's mouth twitched slightly, the height of the black bear was much taller than him. Judging from the height of the sharp axe, if he had entered the bronze door in front, then the sharp axe was aimed right at his head.
The trap was silent, and the direction of the attack was from the side, making it difficult for those who came in through the main entrance to notice it at the first time. If the head is cut in half, even if it is a law body, I am afraid that it will not survive.
Through the gap in the copper door, Qin Lun observed for a long time to confirm that there were no other traps by the door, and then squeezed in from under the black bear's crotch.
After entering the bronze gate, Qin Lun raised his eyebrows slightly, in front of the copper door, in addition to the corpse of the black bear Ben standing in place, there was actually a human corpse.
"It's that middle-aged fat man with gold-rimmed glasses!" Qin Lun recognized him from the clothes of the corpse, this was already the second acquaintance he had seen after entering the labyrinth.
Unlike the black bear Ben stuck in the sharp axe trap, this fat man who is in a high position in the real world has his head completely split into two pieces by the sharp axe. The entire face had been cut off from the side with a sharp axe, and the body was covered with blood and brains.
Qin Lun just glanced at the fat man, then looked away and observed the surrounding environment. It stands to reason that with the strength of the newcomer, he should not be the first to enter the bronze gate. However, since he entrusted his life to the veteran, he naturally had to be prepared to be a pawn, and he could only blame himself for his lack of eyes when he died.
Behind the bronze door is a "weird room" with an area of about 100 square meters. The reason why it is called a weird room is because it has everything in it, and it is difficult to tell what it is used for.
For example, there are wooden boxes of different sizes stacked in the corners of the room, which look a bit like a storage room. But there was a long workbench in front of the room, piled high with glassware and metal instruments.
But it's not quite right to say that it's a research room, because there is a large wooden bed on the right side of the room, which is not luxurious, but the decoration is also very beautiful, but the bedding and sheets are very dirty, and it seems that they have not been cleaned for many years.
Most strikingly, there is a small pavilion with a staircase in the center of the room. The small pavilion was circular in shape, closed on three sides, with only one side opening, and resembled a demon's head with a wide open mouth. There are also several "sharp teeth" on the "lips", and there are even two metal cones representing demonic horns at the top of the pavilion.
The inside of the demon's mouth was very small, less than a square meter, and only one person could stand in it. On the inside of the demon's mouth is a control plate with a row of buttons on it, and a small lever next to it.
At this time, the room was a little messy, as if it had been turned over, and the wooden box, the big bed, and the workbench were all in a mess. Qin Lun knew that this must be the masterpiece of Matthew's three veterans, but he didn't know what they had gained.
The search of the three veterans was very meticulous, not only all the wooden boxes were opened, but even the canes and bedding on the bed were dismantled, leaving Qin Lun with almost nothing of value. The reason why I said almost was because Qin Lun found the only undamaged gene reagent on the workbench.
"Phantom Gene Reagent III (Unidentified): This genetic reagent is an incomplete test that does not possess complete genetic laws, and its forcible use may cause irreversible unknown reactions. Cannot be stored in the storage space, and cannot be taken out of the magic world. ”
No wonder Matthew and the others smashed all the reagents casually, and the only remaining one was not taken. They don't dare to use it for themselves, and they can't bring it out of the illusory world, which is equivalent to waste.
However, Qin Lun's eyes rolled, and he put this reagent into his arms. Matthew and the others didn't dare to use it, it didn't mean that he couldn't use it, at least he still had a summon that could be used as an experiment.
With the growth of Qin Lun's strength, the role of the black bear BEN is no longer too big. This mutilated reagent is the best way to strengthen its combat power, and if it can't, the most you can do is give up this summon.
After searching the room, Qin Lun faintly felt that this might not be a formal phantom real room, maybe it might just be a phantom scientist's living room. Although there are some utensils and instruments on the workbench, there are definitely more than so many instruments in the regular room. Besides, there is no real room with a large bed.
As for the small pavilion with the same demon head, Qin Lun estimated that it might be a short-distance teleportation ladder used to send the owner out of the bone maze and into the interior of the illusion base.
It can be seen from the control board with a small light on inside the conveyor ladder that this conveyor ladder should still be usable. However, Qin Lun believed that Matthew and the others should not have used this teleportation ladder, who knows where it would teleport to. In case that place is full of illusions, it will really be a meat bun beating a dog.
I got a tube of potion but couldn't use it myself, and I knew that the teleportation ladder could reach the illusion base, but I didn't dare to use it. Qin Lun was a little crazy in his heart, for a paranoid person like him who was eager to learn, this was simply worse than death.
Qin Lun angrily walked around the room again, until he found that there was really nothing to find, and then he froze in place. Looking at the dirty bed, he felt a wave of exhaustion welling up in his heart.
From the moment he obtained the Space-Time Core mission, he set the mission stay time in the death list. At this time, it should already be night in Paris, and I am afraid that the final general attack of the Phantom demons on the armed forces of Paris has also begun.
Qin Lun carefully recalled his experience today, thinking about what to do next. He's already got the three Space-Time Cores, and it's okay to return right now. However, since he had entered the bone labyrinth and was only one step away from the illusion base, he always felt very unwilling.
Qin Lun looked back at the teleportation ladder again, his eyes flashing with a crazy light. The fist is clenched and released, and immediately after it is released, it is clenched again.
"If I give up, why should I live, and what is the meaning of survival?" Qin Lun raised his head and muttered to himself, his face slowly calmed down, "It's almost to the limit, find a place to rest first!" ”
From the time the illusion descended on Paris in the morning until now, Qin Lun has gone through several life-and-death battles, and his nerves have always been tense. Now when I am relieved, I feel that my whole body is weak and weak.
He carefully squeezed out the bronze door again, but left the black bear Ben's corpse stuck in the threshold. The black bear's soul has returned to the summoning space, leaving behind only the abandoned summoning body.
Qin Lun had already decided to resurrect it quickly, and one of the purposes was to inject that genetic reagent. However, it takes not only soul energy to build a new body from a summoned creature, but also a certain amount of time. Of course, the process of building a summoned body can also be accelerated if it costs a little more.
Qin Lun sighed, he felt the importance of adventure experience for the first time. This time he entered the illusory world, and he made at least two mistakes.
One of them was equipment items, which he thought he had prepared perfectly. I didn't expect that the equipment items would be restricted by the laws of the Otherworld, and as a result, the Shabak Ring did not play any protective role. If you knew this, it would be better to exchange the Shabak Ring for some blue quality defensive items, it doesn't matter if the quality drops, at least one or two things can be used.
The second mistake he made was that he didn't leave some virtual currency behind, and he now had to sell some of his recovery items in order to quickly revive the minion. You must know that in the list of redemptions of the broken starry sky, the ratio of the price of the items sold and purchased is 1 to 5, and this loss is simply a lesson in blood.
Qin Lun pursed his lips helplessly, walked towards the original three-way entrance of Yongdao, and came to the front of the fishy deep pit. The hole in this corner is about ten meters deep, and there is a metal ladder next to it that can be climbed directly.
He stretched out his head to look into the deep pit, the light below was dim, and the bones of many creatures could be faintly seen, presumably this was a garbage dump where the phantoms discarded some of their remains.
"What a great resting place!" Qin Lun grinned and climbed down lightly.
