Chapter 183: The Abandoned Laboratory

It was a heavy wooden door covered in iron sheets, which at first glance was much stronger than the other rooms, and it also showed the importance of what was behind this door. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Ollie wanted to swing her sword again, but Phil grabbed her sleeve: "Don't do it yet!"

He fumbled around the door a few times, put his ear to the tin sheet and listened carefully for a while, then turned to Ollie and Lukka and said, "There is a mechanism here, and violent destruction may be dangerous. ”

"What then?" Lukka thought, if only he had woken Thea up and brought her in the first place.

Phil tinkered a few times near the door shaft, as if trying to crack the mechanism, but his height was simply not above the door shaft, and he shook his head with a sad face.

"What happens if this trap is triggered?" Lukka asked.

"Do you see the floor under our feet, those little holes will shoot arrows, if you want to turn into a hedgehog, please let me retreat to a safe place first!" Phil's tone was still so intonable, although he lowered his voice.

Ollie walked over to Phil, bent down to check the doorway he was inspecting, straightened up and looked at the linkage above, a smile on his face.

She didn't wait for Phil to stop again, she picked up her greatsword and slashed at the door lock, and the bronze lock was so strong that it hadn't been completely broken under Ollie's sword.

"Damn, didn't you hear me say that you're going to kill us?" said Phil.

Then he looked at his feet, stayed for a few seconds, and finally reacted: "Why is it okay?"

"Don't swear, kids!, do you want to lure the guards over?" Ollie tapped his hand on his forehead, "The mechanism here was meant to be like you said. However, it fell into disrepair and did not work. ”

"It's a fake when you hear it!" Phil wasn't fooled.

"Alright," Ollie said with a sword in her left hand and a lingering lock in her right hand, "this mechanism is nothing new, at least it was decades ago. When I was a child, I used to sneak here to play, and the former captain of the guard was afraid of hurting me, so he told me about this thing a long time ago. ”

"But even so, the agency won't recognize people!" Phil still got to the bottom of it.

"It's not that I recognize people, it's that I accidentally broke it seven years ago. Ollie's face flushed slightly, "I didn't tell anyone, not even Kate. ”

It seems that when Ollie was a child, the level of bears was probably a lot more than that of Phil. But Luca still regretted that he couldn't meet her at that time, and he couldn't meet the really carefree girl.

Ollie finally pulled the brass lock down, and she reached out to push open the heavy wooden door.

The room was huge, and the dim light in the hallway could only shine a few steps to the door, and then inside, it was pitch black, and nothing could be seen clearly.

Lukka summoned a cloud of light in his hand, and unlike Nora's living flame, his light spell did not carry heat and could not fly out of thin air, but could only attach to the entity.

There was no sign of Linde in the room.

On the innermost wall, there is a row of wooden shelves, on which are scattered with several bottles and cans, but they are basically empty, and the gaps between the cans indicate that the full ones should have been taken away.

Next to the shelf was a workbench with some dissecting tools that made the hairs stand on end, presumably because the metal tools were heavier, so they were left behind.

At the front of the workbench, in the middle of the room, there was a chaise longue similar to the one Lukka had sat in when he went to see his teeth, but it was much larger and more than enough to put down a half-giant. The chair is made of wood, which is uncomfortable to look at, and there are belts for holding the limbs and waist in place.

Everything here bears the obvious Imperial Laboratory insignia on it.

Linde wasn't in that chair, which might be a good thing.

Lukka stepped forward and took a closer look, and there were no suspicious blood stains on the floor, chair, or workbench.

"He's not here?" Phil muttered under his breath, having always been confident in his judgment, but this time he pounced.

"Is your message accurate?" Lukka walked around the room holding the light source, scrutinizing every nook and cranny.

"I saw with my own eyes that they brought Linde to this basement!" Phil's face turned a little pale.

"Wait, what is this?" Ollie called out to Luca and ran over to pick up a rag in a corner of the room.

It was a piece of linen of unknown color, as if it had been cut from somewhere, and showing signs of wear.

"It's from Linde's vest!" said Phil, rushing over and holding the rag in his hand.

"Sounds a little bad. Lukka frowned, he wasn't impressed with Lindh, but the chair and the tools on the workbench made him uncomfortable. No visible bloodstains, maybe just because they've been cleaned?

"If I say something you might not want to hear, will he already ......?"

Before Luka could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Phil: "Impossible! Linde won't die!"

"Calm down. Ollie patted him on the back from behind.

"No, you don't understand!" Phil's voice began to tremble, but he did not lose his mind, "Imperial Labs will not let Linde die so easily. He's so valuable to them!"

"This lab is really difficult, it's poison, it's new explosives, it's mixed with the ruins, and now it's kidnapping, is there anything they don't do?" Lukka said, shaking his head.

"Probably, don't do a good thing. Ollie summed it up.

"What now, will Linde be moved to another room?" Lukka remembered the dungeon he had been in the previous year, and had never had a chance to revisit it.

"No, the rooms in the Red Shield Keep that meet the requirements of the Imperial Laboratory are all in this building. Phil was sure.

"If so, judging by their defenses," Lukka thought about for a moment, "he may not be on the island anymore." ”

"Then he must be- oh no! he must have been taken back to the lab!" Phil said as he rushed to the door, now that he had really lost his mind.

Ollie grabbed the clothes on his back, causing Phil's legs to spin in place, "It's okay if you go to him, if he's not on this island, you can't swim over, right?"

"Uh......" Phil's mind went blank, and then it was pitch black again. As soon as Ollie let go, he fell limply to the ground.

"It's too heavy, isn't it?" said Luca.

"It's not me," Ollie looked innocent, "didn't he say that he hid in the tower for a day?

"Yes, but what are we going to do now?" Lukka scratched his head.
