(Today's second more release, friends who have passed by ask for collections and recommendations, your support is my biggest motivation)

With the lessons of the previous traps, everyone is cautious for the next part of the road. But fortunately, there was no danger. Room doors in the living quarters were opened, and boxes, cabinets, and drawers were rummaged through, but nothing was found. As Pannis said, it seems that someone has deliberately hidden all the information except for the materials that the two hidden corpses are carrying with them, and nothing related to the institute can be found at all, or even anything related to daily life.

Sadly leaving the residential area, Vivien still walked in the front, with a look of wistfulness. Pannis followed her, but a little distracted.

"What's wrong Pannis, what's wrong?" Catherine, who walked at the very end, noticed Pannis's gaffe.

"I'm just thinking about the pitfalls we ran into before. I always felt that the trap was laid out meaninglessly, and even marked in front of the door to warn us, I can't figure out why this is, is it delaying our progress, or is it reminding us to be aware of danger at all times?"

"Don't think about it yet, Pannis. Vivien suddenly stopped: "There's a door here. ”

"I saw it. Pannis didn't understand what Vivien meant: "I've seen a lot of doors along the way." ”

"There shouldn't be a door here. Vivien explained, "This is the corridor leading from the residential area to the R&D area, which is already a relatively important place, and there should be no unrelated rooms. ”

"Just open it and see it. Catherine said.

"I'll try. Pannis walked to the door and inspected it for a moment, shaking his head: "This is a magic lock, and it can't be opened by ordinary methods. Vivian, you give it a try. ”

Vivien pressed her right hand against the door, closed her eyes and was silent for a few minutes: "It's troublesome, it's very troublesome." It is indeed a magic lock, and it can only be opened if it is oscillated with accurate magic attributes and accurate magic oscillation frequency, and if it is entered incorrectly in a row, it will activate the security defense system of the mage tower, oh no, activate the security defense system of the research institute. I don't think anyone would want to challenge the system?"

"This gate is so well guarded that it must be an important place. Catherine said, "Is there a way to crack it?"

"I'm trying. Vivien didn't even roll her eyes, and replied casually to Catherine: "The magic defense system of the gate is connected to the magic power supply of the entire research institute, so the energy is almost infinite, and the idea of trying to exhaust the magic power of this defense will not work." If you directly destroy the gate, not only will the security system of the mage tower be activated, but the gate's own counterattack measures can exert the power of almost the legendary apex with the supply of all the energy of the research institute, and none of us will survive. ”

"What about breaking through the wall without breaking through the gate?" Pannis clasped his hands to his chest and patiently watched Vivien figure out what to do, "Is it possible?"

Vivien shook her head: "I thought about it, but I probed it just now, and the wall is also within the security system. I guess the room inside, up, down, left, right, front and back six sides are covered by a security system, which doesn't work. ”

Vivien put the big backpack on the ground beside her, and kept taking out some strange instruments from the backpack, knocking or sticking to different positions on the door, and then took it back in disappointment and replaced it with another one, and the whole person jumped up and down with the change of position, and fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead.

"It seems that there is a little bit of an idea. Vivien was suddenly stunned for a moment, stunned, and came back to her senses with joy on her face: "I'll see, I'll see, hope it's feasible, it must be feasible, you are a genius, there must be a way." By the way, big sister, you lift me up, I want to look at the top. Forget it, I'll do it myself. Muttering a few words softly, she reached out to the ground and pointed to the ground, where a rope appeared out of thin air, wrapping around her waist and lifting her to the top of the hallway.

"Hah, the magic passage is really here. Well, no, not here, but forward, a little further, oops. With Vivien's thoughts, the activation rope that was fixed to the ground continued to tilt and extend, and the angle with the ground continued to decrease, until finally the tilt was too large, and the soft rope could no longer support her body, and she fell to the ground solidly.

"Well deserved. Seeing Vivian rubbing her forehead aggrievedly with tears in the corners of her eyes, Catherine went over angrily and funny to help her up: "Always so reckless, and I'm not afraid of falling to death." How many times have I told you to think about the consequences before doing things, and you always don't listen. Think about it, it's not too high this time, what if it's higher, what if it's on the edge of a cliff? You fall like this? You ...... yourself."

"Sister, I was wrong. Vivien folded her hands above her head: "You spare me, I just had some thoughts, don't mess with me, please." ”

Catherine sighed helplessly: "Forget it, I don't care about you, it's better to fall to your death." ”

"Don't make a fuss. Vivien snickered, took Catherine's hand and ran forward a few more steps and said, "Big sister, you now stab hard at the ground." ”

"Anywhere else on the ground?" Catherine didn't ask why, drawing her sword and looking around for a landing spot.

"That's it. Vivien said casually, pointing to the ground.

Catherine raised her sword in silence, and after a few breaths, she let out a loud cry and stabbed hard into the metal ground. Under the infusion of fighting energy, the knight's sword pierced deeply into the metal ground for about half a meter before stopping.

"Great, enough. Vivian clapped her hands happily: "Eldest sister, give me the sword." ”

Catherine handed over the knight's sword, and watched suspiciously as Vivien used the method of drawing a magic circle out of thin air that she learned from Pannius not long ago, condensed the magic silk thread and carved a few magic circle runes on the sword surface of the knight's sword, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Is this ...... I don't know anything about magic. ”

"It's okay, you just do what I tell you to do. Vivien rose to the top again with the help of the activation rope, took out her pen and drew a mark on the roof of the corridor, and commanded the activation rope to retreat two meters away: "See that line, after I shout for a while, no matter what you do, after five seconds of hearing my shout, you have to make sure that your sword pierces into that position, not a second late." When I shout to draw my sword, pull it out immediately, I can do it. ”

Catherine silently repeated Vivien's request, rehearsing it in her mind before nodding and saying, "No problem." ”

Vivien also put away the smile on her face, her palm pressed against the roof, and she closed her eyes to feel the flow of magic in the metal-covered magic channel, silently calculating in her heart. Suddenly, she snapped open her eyes, "It's now, Thorn." ”

When Catherine heard "It's now", she was already full of fighting energy, jumped high in the air, heard the command of the thorn, and the knight's sword in her hand slammed into the position engraved with thin lines, and it was exactly the same.

"Push the door. Vivien remembered that she had forgotten to tell Lina and Pannisy to be ready to push the door at any time, and she was about to be in a hurry, but she found that Pannis seemed to be prepared, and had been standing by the door, and immediately pushed the door when she heard her command. The gate, which had not been pushed at all, opened as the knight's sword pierced into the roof and opened as soon as it was pushed, and Pannis felt that he had no effort to push it at all, and the metal gate that was a meter thick opened inward lightly, and there was no sound during the whole process of opening the door.

"Draw your sword, quick. The knight's sword was stuck on the roof at this time, and Catherine's right hand held the sword in the air, hanging under the knight's sword. Hearing Vivien's shout, Catherine used her right hand hard, her body flipped up, her feet stepped on the roof to borrow strength, and easily pulled out the jammed knight's sword, curled up in the air and somersaulted, her feet firmly on the ground.

"Perfect, done. Vivien landed on the ground too, and without rushing in the door, she ran to her backpack and pulled out some items, and re-ascended to the gap that Catherine had punctured in the roof, and was busy for a moment. When she returned to the surface, the crack in the roof was completely invisible.

"Awesome. Lina, who was completely unhelpful, consciously took on the role of satisfying the little girl's vanity at this time, and applauded: "It's worthy of a genius, how did you do it?"

"Hey, hey. Vivien replied with a smug smile, "Actually, it's quite simple, I deceived the magic transmission channel of the Mage Tower. Seeing that everyone didn't understand very well, he continued to explain: "What I found just now is the magic channel that supplies the energy of the magic lock of the gate, if you cut off the channel rashly, the blocking of the magic power transmission path will cause an alarm and activate the defense system of the entire mage tower, so I used deceptive means." First of all, I used my own magic power to block the passage for about half a second, and if it was only half a second, it would be ignored by the security system as a normal passage block, and then I used this half second to let the eldest sister insert the sword into the position of the passage. The sword depicts a magic absorption circle, which also has the effect of deception, the magic power transmitted by the magic channel will be absorbed by the magic circle, and at the same time, the magic circle sends out a deceptive message, so that the security system mistakenly thinks that the magic power has been transmitted normally, so that the magic lock of the door will temporarily lose the energy supply and be opened easily. However, this deception can only last for a few seconds, after which it will be recognized by the security system, so that the door must be opened as fast as possible, and then the sword will be drawn to restore the flow of magic in the passage. I'm going to say these simply, but the actual calculation is very troublesome, so don't close that door, and you will have to do it again. ”

"Then let's go inside, and open the door with great difficulty, to see what secrets are hidden inside. Lina put back the book she was holding in her hand back into her backpack, picked up the mace on her waist and swung it: "If there's still nothing in there, I'll smash this room." ”

"Don't go in yet. Pannis stretched out his hand to stop Lina: "There are a lot of corpses inside, and they have been closed, wait for the gas to be deflated before entering." ”

"There's a corpse in there too?" Catherine realized something, "So it's not cleaned up?"

"It should be. Pannis nodded, "Apparently the person who cleaned up the corpse didn't make it into this room either." It seems that the purpose of this room is not simple. ”
