(Today...... I don't have the strength ps, but I still have to work hard ps: friends who have passed by ask for collections and recommendations, and your support is my biggest motivation)

"Whew, I'm so tired. Vivien let out a long breath, looked at the half-opened box and said, "No, I'm going to rest for a while to recover my magic." ”

"No problem, right?" Catherine patted Vivien on the shoulder, "If you're too tired, let's take a day off tonight and continue tomorrow." ”

"No, just take a break. Vivien wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked around and asked, "Why are you three running away?"

"Well, Lina and Pennis went on an adventure next door together," Catherine smiled wryly, "and you don't know her curiosity." ”

"Let's go, let's go take a look, and take a break anyway. Nicole, Rachel, come along, it's too cold in here. Vivien beckoned the other three out of the freezer and shouted in the hallway of the core, "Where are you two hiding?"

"The third door on the left. Lina's voice came faintly: "Come on, we have found something interesting." ”

"I'll just say she's going on an adventure, and she's definitely not going to get down to business. Catherine shrugged and walked over and replied loudly, "What did you find?"

"A couple of mirrors that can see what the cave is like outside. Lina said excitedly, "It's interesting. ”

"Hmm, it should be the monitoring system of the Mage Tower, the solidified Mage Eye and Projection Technique, that is the core control room. Vivien was suddenly stunned, and ran a few steps into the control room, shouting as she ran: "Hey, Lina, don't touch it casually, you are in the control room." ”

Lina glared back at Vivian, who ran in in a panic: "I'm not an idiot, how can I touch it casually, and I know this is the control room, Pannis just said." By the way, Vivian, eldest sister, tell her to come and see, there is something she is interested in. ”

"What's that?" Catherine then arrived at the control room, and as soon as she entered, she heard Lina's words and leaned over to ask.

Lina pointed to the image on one of the mirrors, "Look. ”

"It's so clear, it's so dark outside, but you can't feel the darkness at all from here. Seeing the impact on the mirror, Catherine first exclaimed.

"The solidified mage's eye can see through the darkness, which is one of the defense mechanisms of the mage tower. Vivien adjusted the base of the mirror a few times, and the picture in the mirror zoomed in.

"Hey, it's them?" Catherine took a breath of cold air and stared at the picture in the mirror with wide eyes. In the center of the mirror was the image of two men, both of whom were wearing hooded mage robes, one tall and fat, who looked to weigh a hundred and fifty or sixty kilograms, and the other was very thin and shrouded in loose mage robes, and it was impossible to tell whether they were male or female. Under the cover of the hood, it was impossible to see the faces of the two people, and they could only see that the two of them were holding a few spars in their hands, carefully packed into different small boxes.

"What are they doing?" Lina asked, confused, "What kind of hedron is that?"

"I don't know. Vivien leaned over to the mirror and carefully examined the hedron in the hands of the two men: "I've never seen a black hedron like this. ”

"Wait. Catherine suddenly pulled Vivien back from the mirror and said urgently, "Zoom out of the picture, something is wrong around you." ”

"What's wrong?" Vivien glanced at Catherine strangely, adjusted the magic array to make the picture into a vista, and suddenly exclaimed, "What's the matter with these people?"

In the picture, there are eight people around the two, these eight people are dressed differently, but there is one common feature, it is obvious that the equipment on their bodies is adventurers. Carefully discern the clothes of the two of them, the same two people who had been commissioned to rescue before entering the cave.

"Look, big sister. Lina suddenly grabbed Catherine's hand: "Look at their faces. "The faces of the eight people also have one thing in common, which is that they are extremely old. Everyone's hair was pale and dry, their faces and hands were skinny, and their skin was covered with old folds, like eight human old men who had lived for more than a hundred years.

"What's going on with them?" The gloomy environment, the mysterious mage, the weird black spar, and the eight adventurers who have become extremely old and weak, this strange picture made Lina, who had been adventuring for many years, shudder, and her voice trembled a little: "Lisa is still Lisa, she didn't say that their leader and mage are so old." ”

"Their lifespan has been siphoned off. Vivien swallowed and said a little nervously: "I have never heard of such an ability, which can directly drain a person's lifespan." It's terrible, it's even more terrifying than killing the other person directly. Is there such magic in the world? No way, there is no record or legend of such a thing. ”

"I can't stand it anymore. Catherine punched the metal wall, "Vivien, what's the location here, I'm going to go and save someone." ”

"Big sister, calm down. Lina pulled Catherine, who turned around to leave: "This is just a picture, if you want to go over, I'm afraid you will have to go around in a big circle, and when you get there, the other party will already be gone." ”

As he spoke, the two people in the picture began to move, and the two people walked up to the two frail old men who fell to the ground, raised their feet without hesitation, and stepped heavily on the heads of the two victims. The skull, crispy from old age, shattered under the trampling, red blood, white brains splattered everywhere.

"Bastard, asshole. Catherine's eyes were about to split, her hands were clenched into fists, her nails were deeply irritating her palms, but she didn't notice it, her eyes were staring at the backs of the two people in the picture, and she wanted to keep their backs firmly in her heart: "I will never let go of these evil people." ”

The two people in the picture didn't know that someone was staring at them, and they didn't know that they had been included in the list of mortal enemies by a knight with a strong sense of justice, and after crushing the eight heads, they sorted out their packages and disappeared out of the observation range of the mage's eye one after the other.

"Sister, don't be impulsive. Vivien softly reassured Catherine: "You can't catch up with them when you go out now, so you might as well keep this account." Their behavior is very special, and they will always show flaws in the future, and when the time comes, they will settle the ledger together. ”

"I know, I'm fine. Catherine's voice had regained its calm, and her clenched fist slowly loosened, and after taking a few deep breaths, she shook her head: "Don't worry, I won't be impulsive." I've memorized them, and I'll track them down anyway. ”

"It's best to think of it that way. Vivien smiled reluctantly, also affected by this incident, because the joy of finding the life force mixture was diluted a lot, and she checked the other projection mirrors with interest, and asked, "Lina, isn't Pannis with you?"

"I'm in there. Pannis's voice came from a small suite in the control room, "I'm looking at all the mana supply pathways of this institute. ”

"Did you find anything?" asked Vivien casually, too.

"A passage flashes blue light, if I'm not mistaken, it probably means that the passage is malfunctioning and can't deliver mana normally. Pannis asked.

"Yes, this is to remind the controller of the Mage Tower to repair it in time. Vivien replied in a loud voice.

"That said, there was a problem with the kitchen, the three rooms in the R&D area, and the four experimental material cells in the testing field. Pannis counted them one by one and said, "None of them are the key places." ”

"Well, those places don't affect us. Vivien continued to adjust the images in the other mirrors, trying to make sure of her surroundings: "Leave them alone. ”

"What about the red one? Does it mean that the path is completely damaged and cannot be repaired? My former mage friend didn't mention that there will be red flashes in the magic path map of the mage tower. Pannis asked.

"No, red is more troublesome. Vivien still kept her head down, and replied casually absentmindedly: "The red zone means that the ultimate defense measures have been activated there, and all members of the Mage Tower must be evacuated immediately." ”

As Vivien's words fell, there was a strange silence on the field. In silence, Vivien suddenly jumped up and rushed into the suite inside, and said in a loud voice, "What did you say?

Pannis pointed to a pathway map: "The entrance section, red flashes. ”

"Hell yes. Vivien saw an ominous red light flashing on the pathway map, and there was a prompt bar under the pathway map, and the progress had been more than halfway through, and couldn't help but curse loudly: "It must be that bastard monster, he didn't know how to activate the final defense when he was dying." ”

"What's the final defense?" Catherine asked Vivien, "What will it be? Could it be that the hundred or so magic golems at the entrance are activated at the same time?"

"No, those golems can only be activated from the security area, and the activation requires a password, and no one should be able to activate those things these days. Vivien shook her head and said, "The final defense of each mage tower is different, and I don't know what the effect is here, but it is certain that the final defense cannot be reversed after it is activated, and everyone must evacuate immediately." Many of the Mage Tower's final defenses are self-destructing, and hopefully that's not the case here. ”

"It shouldn't be a self-destruction. "You see, if it were to blow itself up, all the pathways of the entire institute would flash red together, but now there is none, only a ...... entrance." ”

In the middle of speaking, Pannis suddenly stopped, and after staring at Vivien for a few seconds, Vivien suddenly let out a scream: "Bastard, I finally know why he destroyed the teleportation array before he died, this cunning brute." ”

Pannis didn't say anything, picked up Vivien and made her sit on his shoulder, picking up her backpack like rushing to the door.

"Big sister. Vivien danced on Pannis's shoulder and shouted, "Run, everyone run, the entrance is about to be destroyed, the entrance is destroyed, we will all be locked up here and never be able to get out, hurry up, it's only more than an hour." ”

Catherine was stunned for a moment, and began to run after Pannis, waving to Nicole and Rachel as she ran: "Hurry up, don't fall behind, you will be left here, hurry up, you run ahead of me, hurry up." ”

Lina was completely stunned at this time, and let out a miserable scream: "Can't go, my partners." ”

"Idiot Lina, have you forgotten what I told you before?" "Pannis had already run to the door of the control room, and in order to wait for everyone to stop, Vivien turned back to Lina and scolded, "It's no problem, hurry up, stupid." ”

"Really?" Lina's eyes lit up, and she no longer bothered with the books she called her friends, and directly recited prayers to strengthen her physical strength, and quickly caught up with Pannis's footsteps.

Six men ran frantically through the passage at a much faster pace than they had come, running frantically to get out of the research institute before the entrance was destroyed.
