"Huh?" Pannis twisted his neck again and turned his gaze to the small device on the side of his shoulder, "Where have you seen us?"

"It's not time to tell you. Eva said, "Maybe I'll explain it to you later." ”

"Maybe?" Pennis repeated, "just maybe, but I guess where you met us, Freya, you haven't." ”

"Now we're passing through the gates of the 14th arrondissement. Eva said in a mechanical voice: "Area 14 is the research area of micro creatures, and in 6854, scholars discovered that there is an extremely small energy creature in the world of Yala, which is often as large or slightly larger than the several elemental bodies that make up the matter, which cannot be observed with the naked eye, and can only be distinguished by some magnifying instruments. Because they are energy creatures and are too small, they will hardly have any effect on the body, but there are exceptions, when the energy creatures are too large or too concentrated, they will have an impact on the physical body, such as Selqi syndrome is a typical example, if the energy creatures are larger, they can even directly affect the present world and even cause large-scale disasters. ”

"Okay, okay, I won't ask. Pannis said helplessly: "I really don't know how you developed this habit." ”

Catherine patted Pannis on the back as a reassuring gesture before she turned to his shoulder and asked, "Eva, when we first came in, we had an identity verification, and that authentication had already clearly identified us as unknown creatures, but it still inexplicably let us pass. I wonder what happens if we don't get certified?"

"There will be evictions. Eva replied, "Individuals who do not pass the certification will be returned to the position they entered, and if the person who should be expelled is violent, they will be forcibly expelled, and it is not certain where they will be expelled, and they will most likely be expelled into the void." If the individual is too strong to be expelled, it will be considered an intruder and will be attacked with all the strength of the central defenses. ”

"So, we have inexplicably passed the verification, is it under your control?" Catherine asked, "The voice of the verification suddenly changed its attitude, it should be that you interfered." ”

"Yes, I found out that it was you who came in, so I interfered. Eva admitted, "I like you." ”

"Are you subject to some restrictions, so there are many things that can't be clearly explained to us now?" Catherine asked softly, "such as permission settings?"

"Yes, but don't keep guessing. Eva lost the calm in her voice again, and said a little anxiously: "When the time comes, I will definitely tell you." ”

"Okay, then we'll not ask. Exchanging glances with Pannis, Catherine actually agreed, as if she was not at all worried that Eva's concealment would bring unnecessary danger, and nodded: "Then leave it to you, I know there must be problems here, and I know that these problems are likely to cause trouble, but from your previous behavior, I believe that you are still on our side, I hope you will not let us down." ”

"I'll try to do it. Eva's voice was lowered, "Try not to disappoint you." ”

There was an eerie silence in the Jingneng car again, whether it was Eva or the five members of the adventure group, they were all silently thinking about their own thoughts, only the Jingneng car was still quietly driving on the smooth road. The Goblin Crystal Energy Vehicle is much better than the Crystal Energy Locomotive that people imitate according to the Goblin Technology, even if the weight of the body is far heavier than the Crystal Energy Locomotive, but the driving is still smooth and fast, but I don't know if the energy consumption is the same. In addition, when you are in the car, you can't hear the wind when you are driving fast outside, and the car is unusually quiet.

After driving for a while, Lina suddenly remembered something, sighed softly, and asked Eva: "Actually, you know the end of the goblins, yes, I heard you mention the catastrophe, this is the matter of the destruction of the goblins." ”

"Yes, I know. Eva replied, "And I witnessed the whole process of the great tribulation." ”

"However, I have been to the ruins of a goblin city before. Lina's mind was about Clockwork City, which had been found deep in the sewers of the City of Innocence: "The city there is full of the corpses of goblins who died suddenly, and apparently the catastrophe you are talking about happened suddenly." But here, I didn't see any bodies, and it stands to reason that there were so many researchers here, at least tens of thousands of corpses, but there wasn't a single body in the whole city, including the square and the residential area on the other side. ”

"The body has been removed according to the preset instructions. Eva replied: "All the bodies will be cremated in a centralized manner, and the ashes will be sent to various parts of the Fillias Mountain, which is the preset plan in the event of a mass death accident in the research center, which I have carried out shortly after the catastrophe, and the puppets who control the center carry it out." ”

"In other words, even if we don't come, you can control the puppet to carry out some actions?" Lina asked suspiciously, "Then why don't you go to the areas where there is no answer and check what happened?"

"I can't do it. Eva explained: "I control the puppet, it is controlled by the crystal energy network, if a node of the crystal energy network loses its response, then all the areas under this node will be out of my control, just like the ninth laboratory we saw just now, if I maintain the current state, I can indeed observe the internal situation through other external devices, and the signal can be transmitted back to me, but I cannot operate any equipment within the coverage area through the node, including the external equipment I originally controlled." If you go to District 11, you can see that the ground is already full of golems that I tried to enter District 11, but lost their response when I entered. ”

"The same goes for emergency shelters?" asked Pannis.

"It's different there, I can't control it even if the crystal energy network is intact, and I can't even take the initiative to enter, but if you carry this puppet that I control now, it won't matter. Eva replied, "In general, most of the research center is still under control, and only a few are out of control. ”

"Huh", during the conversation, the crystal energy car has already driven to the depths of the research center, silently stopped at the door of a building that is very inconspicuous compared to the surrounding buildings, Eva prompted: "Get off the car, this is the core building of the center, all the core control system equipment is stored here, including the emergency shelter is also underground here." According to the strength of the defense, even if the energy attack of the gods, it will take thirty minutes for several gods to join forces to break the defense system here, which is the safest place on the Yara continent. No, it's not part of the Yarra continent anymore, but it's still the safest place in the world. ”

"Can I try it?" Pannis asked, with a strange look, "Test the strength of the defenses here." ”

"It's okay now, I've turned off the counter-attack system here for the time being. Eva replied, "But how do you want to test it?"

"That's it. Pannis suddenly drew his sword, and a one-meter-wide vacuum slash shot out from the arc of the blade, and the moment the vacuum slash touched the metal building, most of the energy contained in it was instantly absorbed, and the power was reduced to less than one-tenth, leaving no trace on the wall. Pannis was stunned, swung his sword and stabbed forward, the blade formed by the fighting qi stabbed squarely on the wall, but he didn't expect that a large part of the energy carried by the penetrating attack was also absorbed. Pannith didn't attack again, withdrew his one-handed sword and said with interest: "Interesting, Vivien, this way of absorbing energy shocks to strengthen yourself, I remember you have a similar combat method. ”

"Well, the ideas are relatively close. Vivien nodded, "I didn't expect the goblins to already apply it to practice. ”

"But there is still an upper limit to this kind of absorption. Pannis asked Eva, "Once the cumulative absorption exceeds the upper limit, the defense system will collapse, and this defense will not be able to protect against the demigod's inherent mental realm." ”

"Yes, the Intrinsic Mind Realm only appeared in what you call the Third Age, and it is not in the scope of consideration, and I cannot understand the meaning of the Inherent Mind Realm. Eva admitted very directly: "However, if you remove the factors of the inherent spiritual realm, even if a few of the strongest people of the Three-Eyed Clan come here, it will take a certain amount of time to break through." ”

"It's a very effective defense indeed. Pannis nodded, "It's not too much to say that it's the safest place in Yara's world. But why would the goblins build such a strong defense? They don't have any particularly strong enemies, do they have the Three-Eyed Clan as an imaginary enemy? But there must be the Three-Eyed Clan involved here. Okay, you don't have to answer, I know you're going to introduce the surrounding equipment again, you better save a little energy. ”

"Well, I can't answer that. I don't know if it's an illusion, but there seems to be a little more cheerful feeling in the straight voice of the Eva mechanical version, as if he was amused by Pannis, and he didn't respond with a blind approach: "You'll know, but not now." ”

"Seriously, I smell trouble, and it's getting closer. Pannis sighed and said, "If it's possible, I'd really like to know how big the trouble is this time, how dangerous it is, if it's too dangerous......"

"You don't have to think about it. Catherine squinted at Pannis and said, "Do you want to leave us in danger and face us on our own? Besides, if we're in trouble, we'll run away, what do you think we're like?"

"I'm sorry, I was wrong. Pannis smiled bitterly and said, "Let's face it together, Eva, can you answer?

"Rest assured, there will be no danger to your life. Eva's voice sounded a little bitter: "Logically, at least the five of you will not be in danger of life. (To be continued.) )
