In this underground "labyrinth", several members of the investigation team walked extremely slowly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Bartlett ordered Master Clark and Miss Julie to be kept in the center as much as possible, and the group chose the path to travel according to Master Clark's judgment while guarding the surroundings.

From time to time, they inspect the facilities in the passage, gauge the purpose of the area, and guard against possible enemies to avoid falling into deadly traps.

But what they don't know is that all their actions, all their words when they communicate, are seen by one person.

Not long after separating from Fei'er, Ian easily followed the trail of several of them with his own mental perspective.

However, because the "lighting" in these passages was unexpectedly good, he didn't dare to get too close, but hung far behind them, hiding his figure through some blind spots and some corners, and locking on a few people in front of him with his mind, so as not to lose people and not be easily discovered, keeping a distance just enough to eavesdrop on their conversations.

"I didn't expect there to be such a big labyrinth underground!" said Miss Julie. Since entering this underground building, the few of them have been traveling for about half an hour, but after turning several corners in the direction of the explored hypocenter,

They actually saw the staircase to the next level.

"Obviously, it was once inhabited, but it was abandoned not long ago. Bartlett pushed open an unlocked iron door on the side of the passage and found a stone bed, a wooden table, a few chairs, and a closet, in the shape of a small bedroom. However, when he stepped in, he found that although all the items were complete, there were no traces of anyone using them for a long time.

"It seems that this is not a so-called underground mausoleum. Bartlett's eyes grew serious.

"They shouldn't have completely evacuated yet, they should still have some people here!" Master Clark pondered for a moment, then judged.

"Why, grandpa?" said Miss Julie, giving her grandfather a surprised look. A thin layer of ash had accumulated on the table in the room, and it seemed to her that there was no one else here except for the outsiders.

"Because of this!" the old scholar looked up, gesturing to the glowing crystals above his head. Everyone looked up with his movements, and suddenly realized when they saw the crystal lanterns arranged in the ceiling.

"Yuanjing!"

These lanterns can only be lit up by relying on the energy of the source crystal.

"That's right. Source Crystals and Source Crystal Fragments are precious, and if they have really all been evacuated, then they will definitely not leave such treasures here. ”

"An underground city for outcasts?" Bartlett said with a frown.

As we all know, there are a group of outcasts who have been expelled from the empire living outside the circle of the empire, and there will always be lucky people among them who find one or two fragments of source crystals or real source crystals outside the circle, dig into the underground or mountains, set up a mental image sealing array in it, establish an underground base belonging to their own group, and even an underground city, so as to avoid the invasion of demons and form a tribal city-state regime different from the empire.

However, as far as Bartlett knows, this kind of base is generally located in the lofty mountains outside the Eastern Regions, after all, only in such lofty mountains and wooded areas can there be rich resources for human survival. He really didn't expect that he would actually see such a base outside the northern region. This is a vast barren wasteland, where are they going to make a living?

"It doesn't have to be a city. Master Clark shook his head and looked down the staircase, "To know the answer, we have to go down." And the epicenter detected by Lord Gale is still further down. ”

"Hmm. Bartlett nodded, and said to the red-haired woman beside her: "Becky, make a mark when you get down there, with the size of this building, I'm afraid there won't be only one such passage, I don't want to find our way back by then." ”

"Yes, Commander. The woman named Betsy nodded yes.

With apprehension, several people walked down the stairs, and halfway through, Miss Julie, who was guarded in the middle, was suddenly startled and turned back suddenly.

"What's wrong, Julie?" asked Master Clark in surprise to his granddaughter.

"I don't know if it's a delusion, but I always feel like someone is following us. Miss Julie furrowed her good-looking brow, and after a moment of hesitation, muttered.

"Haha, Miss Julie, if you're scared, let Lawson send you up first. Pullman took a few steps back, looked twice, and after making sure there was no one, he teased at the blonde girl, "I guess Picole misses you a lot right now." ”

"No, I have to stay and take care of grandpa. Miss Julie raised her eyebrows, and hurriedly wrapped her arms around the old man beside her, urging everyone to go down.

Several middle-aged men in the field looked at each other and smiled, and continued to walk down. With a subtle gesture from Bartlett, their formation quietly changed as they went. Pullman, who was standing in front, walked last.

Bartlett doesn't feel that anyone is following, but sometimes a woman's intuition is often unreasonably accurate, and in such an unknown place, it may be better to have a "rather believe it" attitude.

Of course, he didn't know that not far behind them at this time, there were people holding the same emotion as him. Miss Julie's turn around really startled Ian, who was hiding in the shadows. He was confident that he had absolutely not shown the slightest hint of qi, but sometimes a woman's intuition was so unreasonable that it almost made them realize their existence.

After evading Pullman's detection, he followed behind several people, and couldn't help but secretly discuss and continued to follow.

The stairs had more steps than anyone could have imagined, and after nearly five minutes of descending, several people finally reached the next level.

The style of the facilities on this level is obviously extremely bizarre, and it looks very different from the living area above. As they walked out of the hallway, they were on a huge platform. Around this platform are huge wardrobes of the standard, and the passages around the platform that connect with other rooms are obviously set up with small mental image sealing arrays.

"It's ...... Changing room?" Miss Julie asked uncertainly, and her grandfather, Clark, a college scholar, answered her question with a look of seriousness that had never been seen before.

"That's right, it's the changing room. ”

"But why build such a big changing room?"

"It's a different form, but I've seen it in the home of a Middleton University scholar in the City of Knowledge. The old man recounted in a reminiscent and serious tone: "The passage outside this changing room should be connected to the isolation room, and after the isolation room, we will enter a huge laboratory that has never been heard of......"

"Here, we may see something very remarkable. (To be continued.) )
