There was a discordant "whirring" sound in the cold air, and a clone pod-like thing slowly appeared in a clearing in front of him, and with the sound of air pressure being released, the hatch with a flashing red light turned green, and the hatch opened, and a young man in a black trench coat came out.

"Wow, punk retro style, I like it!" he looked around with a look of surprise.

He's in a steampunk-like lab here, full of bronze gears and tinkling devices all over the world.

"This is the reverse ion polymerization accelerator, wow, this should be three hundred years old, wait, this is the earliest time jammer, good thing, this thing is also a hundred years old. Xie Liu was like a profiteer who had discovered a treasure, constantly counting the instruments in the laboratory.

Just as he was counting the instruments by himself, two more girls came out of the hatch, Ye Ling in a white robe and Angela in a witch costume.

"Xie Liu, what kind of place is this?" Ye Ling asked with some curiosity. Angela behind her also looked around in surprise, obviously such a steampunk house made her curious.

"You could call this the birthplace of fantasy, but if I'm not mistaken, this is a very old place, an underground laboratory that has been built since the days of [Ravelage]. Xie Liu raised his hand and hooked a weakly swinging metal pipe in front of him, and a childlike smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Ravelage, the twenty-second consul, was one of the greatest consuls in the history of the city, who introduced parliamentary reforms, first proposing the separation of education and research. Angela quickly thought of what she was learning in class.

Xie turned around and pointed at Angela, "Thank you for your science, wow! Xie Liu raised his eyebrows, quickly came to the pile of rags, opened his bow left and right to throw away the mess, and then picked up a small dagger.

"The Rhythm Dagger, that's a rare thing. Xie Liu laughed and threw the dagger to Angela, "This dagger will recognize audio and automatically attack, but don't trust its ability too much, there are many people who have been injured by it by mistake." You try?"

Angela looked at the small dagger in her hand in a little surprise, at a loss, Xie Liu raised her index finger, "By the way, its opening voice should be, Nias's singing voice, well, try it in Latin, not try it in French." ”

Angela nodded, whispered something to the dagger, the random dagger trembled slightly, the dagger that was originally full of rust emitted a strange light at that moment, the dagger that was originally self-contained scattered at that moment, turned into dozens of pieces of different luster, and the colorful luster floated on all the pieces, at this moment Angela was like holding a beautiful kaleidoscope in her hand.

"This was the weapon of the Rhythm League back then, a weapon controlled by voice. Xie Liu's team Angela's weapon in his hand explained. "If you can master the rhythm of this dagger, you can even play a beautiful tune when you are facing the enemy. ”

The dozens of fragments of different lusters in front of him revolved around the colorful luster in the center of the dagger, seemingly harmless to humans and animals, but Xie Liu knew how powerful such a weapon was back then, you know, the user of this weapon almost subverted the entire fantasy city back then.

"Put it away, this weapon has not been made since the 'Singer Rebellion', and most of it has been destroyed, very few people can save this thing, and we are lucky to meet the remnants here, and the owner here has a treasure that he doesn't know, it's really stupid. Let's go, let's go in and see, huh? What is this?"

Xie Liu let out a surprised voice as he spoke.

I saw Xie Liu walk in front of a pillar, the rusty pillar was carved with incomprehensible characters, Ye Ling and Angela also walked up and saw the things carved on the pillar.

"Is this a magic array?" Ye Ling asked, the thing in front of him was too similar to the magic array in the movie, Xie Liu sneered, "Maybe this magic array can blow up here." ”

"What are you kidding, who would engrave this suicidal thing on their own laboratory, besides, magic array, this thing is a joke no matter how you look at it......"

Ye Ling couldn't go on, others didn't know, but she knew, after all, she had really seen the so-called magic world, she asked Xie Liu in a low voice: "Xie Liu, what is this magic array for?"

"I said it blew us up, do you believe it?" Xie Liu's eyes turned cold, and after speaking, he walked straight forward. Ye Ling obviously didn't believe it, but seeing that Xie Liu didn't want to say it, she didn't ask, and the two girls followed Xie Liu towards the laboratory.

The innermost part of the laboratory was a door, and when Xie Liu walked over with the two girls, this door suddenly opened.

When the three of them didn't react, four or five people rushed out of the door, each with a weapon in their hand, "Stop, raise your hands!"

The men rushed in, closing the trio with great speed, all weapons aimed at their heads.

Xie Liu raised his eyebrows and slowly raised his hand, Ye Ling subconsciously held the thin sword in his hand, and Angela was still a little at a loss.

"Who are you?" asked a woman in black at the head.

"Misunderstanding, we are scientific research quality researchers. Xie Liu raised his hands and smiled, looking at the woman in black in front of him, although she was wearing a combat uniform, she couldn't hide her proud figure and heroic face.

She was the only one who didn't have a hot weapon in her hand, but Xie Liu knew that this person was the most difficult to deal with. Because Xie Liu felt a strong superpower reaction in her.

"Oh, scientific research quality researcher?" The woman in front of her looked at Xie Liu and the two girls behind him respectively with a mocking tone, "Are you three like, do you see behind you, a fool playing COSPALY and a natural fool wearing a witch costume?"

"Do you want to die?" Ye Ling was furious, the sword in his hand was already half unsheathed, the woman in black sneered, and was just about to make a move, but she felt a premonition of danger, and immediately retracted, at this moment, Xie Liu's eyes had turned silver-gray.

The woman in black glanced at Xie Liu vigilantly, sneered, and immediately knew where the feeling of danger came from.

"You're good, my name is Yuna. After speaking, he stretched out his hand, "It seems that you are also a superpower, then, you will not be a member of the Special Alliance." ”

Xie Liu blinked, and when he opened it again, the silver pupils had already returned to black, and he held Yuna's hand, "Hello, I'm Xie Liu, to be precise, we are from the hunting team." This is Ye Ling, this is Angela. ”

"Hunting party?" Yuna frowned, but didn't say anything, there had been the other side of the hunting party here before, but it didn't cause any trouble, no matter what, she still didn't like dealing with hunting parties. Then he looked at Angela to the side, "Angela? is that the miracle princess Angela?"

Angela didn't refute.

"Alright, lay down your arms. "Yuna commands the group," she said, introducing herself again, Yuna Tinjac, a researcher at the Underground Research Institute Seven. ”

"Hello, my name is Hanny. The young man who put down the gun next to him smiled brightly, and a slightly dark girl behind him pointed her mouth towards the roof, "Jennifer, they like to call me Black Rose." Then there was a lot of boos.

"Wang Ti. A skinny Oriental man lowered his weapon, apparently it was too heavy for him.

The last big man smiled, carrying the weapon on his shoulder, and a smile appeared on his face with a thick beard, "I'm Ben, they call me Uncle Ben." Welcome. ”

Xie Liu nodded, and then, he raised his finger, "Okay, the introduction is over, and then, I have a question." ”

Xie Liu quickly put down his hand, slid past everyone, and leaned against the door, "Can you tell me why you turned on all the fixed-point defense systems?"

After being asked this question, Yuna's face suddenly changed, and Xie Liu smiled when he saw that Yuna didn't speak, "Or are you in trouble." ”

Yuna still didn't speak, Xie Liu snorted coldly, "Don't think we don't know what you're doing in the Seventh Laboratory, don't hide it, take me over, I want to meet Dr. West." "The name Xie Liu heard from Vladimir.

Yuna sighed when she heard this, "We said in advance, don't embarrass the doctor, he's not wrong." ”

Xie Liu snorted coldly, "It's not you or I who have the final say." Well, lead the way. ”

Yuna sighed, "Let's go, this way." After saying that, Xie Liu walked through her to the back of the door, Ye Ling also glared at Yuna, and followed Xie Liu, Angela looked at Xie Liu who was walking away a little dumbfounded, and then didn't say a word, lowered her head and followed.

Walking through the old steampunk house, Xie Liu and the others soon came to a laboratory shrouded in white light, without the retro steampunk style, replaced by somewhat oppressive white walls and rows of desks.

"Professor West, someone wants to see you. Yuna shouted to a middle-aged man who was busy on the desk in front of him, and when he heard Yuna's voice, he put down his pen, looked at this side in a little panic, and then got up, Xie Liu had already walked in front of the doctor at this time.

This is a middle-aged man who looks very ordinary, a little bald, with old-fashioned glasses, and a white lab coat, Xie Liu stepped forward and stretched out his hand with a smile, "Dr. West, hello, I am a scientific research quality researcher, you can call me Xie Liu." ”

"Hello, hello. The doctor responded with a smile and took Xie Liu's outstretched hand, Xie Liu's eyebrows raised slightly, and then looked at Dr. West in some surprise. Then he withdrew his hand, "It seems that I am too lonely and unheard, I didn't expect that in this underground laboratory, there are such powerful people as the doctor." ”

After Xie Liu finished speaking, he retreated slightly and retreated to Ye Ling's side, "This guy is too powerful, I may not be an opponent, be careful." ”

Ye Ling glanced at Xie Liu in surprise, since Xie Liu opened the power eye, in terms of melee ability, he can already be said to be almost invincible, and there are also signs that Xie Liu is about to open the eighth level of ability, but even so, Xie Liu still thinks that he is no match for this doctor, what is it that makes Xie Liu so cautious.

Dr. West had a smile like a good old man on his face, but Xie Liu had a creepy feeling, and in order to alleviate the embarrassment, Xie Liu raised his index finger, "By the way, what am I here for?" Ah, that's right, quality research, yes, quality research, Dr. West, please." ”

Xie Liu stretched out his hand slightly, the smile on Dr. West's face gradually disappeared, looked at Yuna beside him, and then nodded, "Then come with me." After speaking, he raised his hand and tapped it lightly on the desk beside him.

The scenery in front of him distorted for a moment, and then Xie Liu and the others appeared in a small passage, Xie Liu raised his eyebrows slightly, "This is the space flow technology?"

"That's right, I didn't expect you to see it at a glance. Dr. West smiled, and Xie Liu exclaimed, "I have read this paper, but I don't understand the theory that the size of space is infinite by the flow of time. ”

"It's nothing difficult to understand, different things can fit in the same space at different times of the day, that's all. Dr. West pressed the button on a small door in front of him, "Be careful, this door is a time device, don't go wrong, otherwise we will spend a lot of time looking for you, and at this time, the only space-time door in the entire city that can travel in both directions, the person who built it has passed away, and we can't imitate it yet, so try not to get lost." ”

Several people walked through this miraculous space-time gate together.

"I parked this space two thousand three hundred years ago from today, through this door we can get a special space, okay, you don't need to know that much, come in with me. Dr. West brought Xie Liu and the others in, and Ye Ling behind him was still a little confused, but he still followed Xie Liu in.

"There's a lot of research here, but you also know that since that era, our research has been shady, but you hunters should know that there are many things that we can't see in our city. West carried Xie Liu into a corridor-like room, and Xie Liu's eyes were quick and he picked up the same thing as a pocket watch that he had at hand.

"Wow, is this the space-time compass?" Xie Liu had an excited look on his face.

"I prefer to call it the Space-Time Cage. West took the compass from Xie Liu's hand, "This is just a pseudo-space-time theory, it just restores what happened in the previous time, not a real reversal of time." Don't move, you don't want to be locked inside. ”

Xie shook his head again and again, and then saw the instrument that was placed in the crystal cabinet.

"This is the [Soul Trap], I heard that after people die, their consciousness will remain in this space for a while, and we can feel their last thoughts. Xie Liu looked at a rotating metal ball in front of him, as if it was suspended in the air, "It's kind of interesting." ”

"What is this?" Ye Ling curiously pointed to a pistol-like thing not far away, and Dr. West shrugged, "This is a frequency gun, which decomposes substances with a set frequency, and can generally be decomposed to the molecular level. But you'd better not touch it, a lot of matter in this world is mixed together, and if you don't use it well, this space will be gone. ”

"It's a prediction bug. West saw Angela interested in an object covered in tentacles and reminded him.

"This is the creatures we found from the dark side, their tentacles can touch this space, and then they can predict something that will happen in the future, we don't know how they work yet, and they are extremely aggressive. ”

Xie Liu frowned and glanced at the prediction worm, he could probably guess why this guy could predict the future, in fact, it was similar to his own power eye, he could feel the movement trend of various substances in this world, so as to make predictions, making people mistakenly think that he could predict the future.

"Alright, let's move on. Xie Liu took out a blue metal rod from his arms, and Dr. West's face changed, "Supersonic sonde, where did you get it?"

Xie Liu shrugged, "I just picked it up at the door." Is this your stuff too?"

Xie Liu was stunned for a moment, hehe smiled, Dr. West frowned, "Who took this thing out, we will go back......"

Then he couldn't go any further, for in the crystal cabinet not far away, another identical blue metal rod was lying there quietly.

"Everyone, come here!" Professor West snorted, his face becoming very cold. Xie Liu was stunned for a moment, only to see Professor West raise his hand, "Everyone, get ready for battle." ”

Xie Liu was also taken aback by the sudden scene, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

I saw that Professor West's face was gloomier than the dark clouds in the sky. "We've only made one of this thing, it's impossible to have a second one, but you can see it, obviously there are two of these things now, and there is only one possibility for this thing in your hand, from different planes!"

Xie showed a look of surprise, "You mean, someone brought this out from different time periods and left it here?"

That's what it means. Professor West nodded in the affirmative, and the people around him gathered around him to defend themselves.

"That is, someone has been here before us. Okay, it's dangerous here, let's get out!" Professor West snorted coldly, and everyone picked up the weapons in their hands and wanted to retreat, but the next moment, West seemed to remember something, and said in a low voice: "No, we can't go yet, that thing is still inside." ”

"Doctor, but it's dangerous right now. Yuna shouted in surprise, and Dr. West shook her head slightly, "Yuna, you also know what that research means to us, we can't give up, if someone really comes in, then what is their purpose? ”

A look of surprise appeared on Yuna's handsome face, "I understand, Professor, let's go over and have a look." After speaking, she looked at Xie Liu behind her a little vigilantly.

Xie Liu shrugged, "What do you see me doing, aren't we here to help?" After speaking, the demon knife on his waist had already appeared in his hand.

Dr. West coughed lightly, signaled Yuna not to be impulsive, and then said to Xie Liu: "What you are going to see next may be a little unacceptable to you, but I still want to show you, I believe that after reading it, you can understand its meaning." Because our research will eventually change the definition of human beings. ”

"Uh......" Xie Liu didn't know how to answer this doctor's words, the definition of human beings? What does that mean?

He looked back at Ye Ling, Ye Ling was also confused, Xie Liu turned his head directly, Angela didn't have to think about it.

"Let's go. Yuna took Ben to the front, the lights in the laboratory were not very bright, to be precise, it was a little cold, and the group of nine people quickly walked through a short corridor and finally came to a small laboratory.

"It's here. ”

West pointed to a small laboratory in front of him, but Xie Liu's gaze was attracted by the road in front of him.

"What's up ahead?" Xie Liu asked, pointing to the front, Yuna shrugged, "I don't know, this laboratory has been built for hundreds of years, and no one knows how big it is. Alright, let's go, this way. ”

Xie Liu and the others followed Yuna into a small laboratory, there was an instrument like a hospital B-ultrasound, Xie Liu looked at this with some curiosity, "What is this for?"

He asked, puzzled, and Black Rose put the gun down, "This is what changes the meaning of people." ”

"Huh?" Xie Liu was a little curious, and Dr. West stepped forward excitedly, stroked the machine, and sighed softly, "It's a miracle, you'll see it later." Alright, let's get started. After that, the assistants worked closely to debug the instrument.

Xie Liu was bored to be a melon eater, he tore open the lollipop package, sat on the chair by the door, and when he saw Angela beside him, he gave her a lollipop.

"What about Ye Ling?" Xie Liu didn't notice Ye Ling's figure, Angela shook her head and didn't speak.

Xie Liu turned around at this time, "No matter, this girl, make trouble." ”

......

The preparations in front of him were quickly completed, and Xie Liu stood up, "Okay, what special things are you going to show me?" You know, we don't know if there are any enemies here, and someone in my family seems to be lost...... Huh?"

Xie Liu's eyes fell on West, only to see him sitting on the bed in front of the instrument, Yuna handed him a helmet, "Is your little girlfriend? It's okay, I'll find her later." A smile crossed West's face.

After saying that, he put on his helmet.

"Alright, here begins, Jennifer, you go to the main control room. Yuna ordered, and the black girl nodded and walked out. "Alright, let's get started. ”

Xie Liu solemnly looked at the scene in front of him, he didn't know what Dr. West was going to do, but it shouldn't be easy to think about, thinking of this, he stared at the scene in front of him carefully, of course, he didn't forget to hold his lollipop.

"Energy ready. ”

"The stabilizer is working fine. ”

"Vital signs are normal. ”

"The separator is working fine. ”

"The quantification procedure is normal. ”

As one by one the reports were normal, and the ones in front of him began to work, Xie Liu frowned, his power eyes activated, and he saw that the energy in it was working in a strange way.

"Quant Activation!" With Yuna's words, she pressed the red button, and the instrument in front of her spun rapidly, with blue sparks extending continuously, Xie Liu raised his hand to cover his eyes, and the strong light pierced his eyes uncomfortably.

At this moment, Xie Flu felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, as if the whole world had been distorted.

"What the hell is this!" he almost shouted, and he even wondered if this ghost device would explode later!

Thinking of the piercing noise, as if someone was screaming, Xie Liu's ears hurt, he covered his ears, but he couldn't stop this sound, and the next moment he couldn't help shouting, "Is it enough!"

Then, as if in response to Xie Liu's shout, the voice quieted down, and the light in front of him gradually faded.

Xie Liu froze in place, looking at the scene in front of him in horror, he couldn't believe his eyes.

In front of him was a pale green light, fluttering like a ghost, but this ghost looked like Dr. West, floating gently in front of Xie Liu.

"Hello, Xie Liu, I'm Professor West, and again, it's a pleasure to meet you......"
