Chapter XXXIV
Half a month later, Thor returned from the stature continent, and Kismet followed him.
At this point, Kismet seemed to have forgotten about the blow that failed to become the fifth target. Every day, I follow Thor, either playing music or lying on the roof and looking at the sky.
Thor thinks his problem should have something to do with the diary, but Kismet doesn't intend to talk about it.
However, Kismet, although he does not mention what happened to him, becomes obedient.
The only remaining stubbornness is probably the sentence "younger brother master".
After getting off the boat, Thor asked Kismet, "Are you going to go back with me?" ”
Kismet tossed the harp in his hand like a ball, "No, I'm not interested in the experiment you're doing now." If you want to kill someone, you can come to me. ”
Hearing Kismet's words, Thor, who originally wanted to leave, suddenly stopped and turned around, "Is it okay to kill anyone?" ”
"Hah! Anyone can do it! ”
"I remember your words."
After leaving the airship, Kismet really didn't follow, and as for where he was going, Thor had no way to track it.
Since this guy recovered his fourth-order strength, he has been much more low-key than before. As long as he doesn't want to show his face, no one seems to be able to find him.
As she walked to Byron's residence, Beth in the diary reminded Saul.
[This Kismet seems to be following you, afraid that you won't come back when you go back to Stadt.] 】
Thor didn't stop, "You see that, too?" ”
When he pretended to be angry and returned to Stadt, he suddenly appeared on the airboat. and left when he got a letter from Douglas asking him to come back.
Although this Kismet is no longer troublesome, it looks more complicated than doing it.
"Guess what he wants to do?"
[I really don't know about him. But I don't think he's from the Stargate Council. 】
"Yes, it's not the Stargate Council, who is afraid that I won't come back?"
Thor raised his hand, and saw a man walking against the flow of people.
It's Douglas.
"Lost your temper?" Douglas was carrying a book in his hand, "If you don't come back, I'm going to think that you really aren't going to cooperate with the Stargate Council." ”
As he spoke, Douglas handed the book in his hand to Thor, "If you still want to continue the experiment with red worms, take a good look at it." ”
Thor took the book, but didn't open it in a hurry.
"Did they agree to exchange information with us?"
"It's not easy." "Our experiments are far behind theirs," Douglas said. The right to speak is not on our side. ”
Seeing Thor frowning, Douglas smiled and said, "However, I gave them a little idea of how to deal with the starry sky pollution." If they can succeed in their experiments, they agree to leave the most important red worms to us at that time. ”
"The most important red worm?" Thor immediately understood that the key to increasing the number of red worms was here, "Could it be that the red worm species is also responsible for reproducing the queen?" ”
"You guessed it right again. That's right, it's just like the queen ant who is only responsible for reproducing offspring. But for now, Speaker Alik only agreed that we would let us meet the Red Worm if we were to help them make a breakthrough. ”
"Do you have any ideas for me?"
"Of course!" Douglas unceremoniously agreed, "We are now partners in the face of the Kuroshio apocalypse, and it is only natural that we should share information." ”
He pointed sideways to the carriage waiting for the two on the main road, "Let's talk as we go." Speaker Alik knows that you came in today's airboat and are waiting for us in the stargazing tower. ”
"Oh, and the Murrich you spoke of, supposedly pleading guilty to you personally."
Saul didn't feel any more complacent when he heard that Murrich was going to plead guilty. Although he had only seen one side for a short time, Thor could also see that the guy was a fairly rational guy.
Deliberately bullying Agu and provoking Thor are probably all for another purpose.
Perhaps Thor increased his importance in the Stargate by joining Stargate's escape plan, and the move to put pressure on Murridge was also in the other party's design.
But Thor had already thought it through, and it didn't matter if there was a conspiracy or not, and what kind of conspiracy there was.
The end of the Kuroshio Tide involves the fate of too many people, and all Thor can do now is to move straight towards the goal and encounter obstacles?
Just crush it.
Because of his anticipation, Thor didn't have the slightest fluctuation in his mood when he saw Murridge at the entrance of the stargazing tower.
Douglas told Thor in secret words, "Now this stargate escape plan is coming to an end. If you come up with something that improves Speaker Alex's experiments again, we can get the Queen of Bugs. ”
Stargate's escape plan, which Douglas always called Stargate's migration plan in private.
I have to say very accurately.
The two ignored Murridge at the door and walked straight in. During this time, Douglas often went in and out of the stargazing tower in order to study the red worm, and he was very clear about the layout and structure of the place.
He didn't even need to be led by anyone to lead Thor to the underground lab.
[Thor, you have to pay attention to this Douglas. 】
In the middle of the walk, Beth in the diary suddenly reminds Thor.
"Huh?"
[This guy appeared a little suddenly. It's nothing, but I always feel that there is an inexplicable calmness in this person. 】
Thor put his hand to his lips, coughed lightly, and stole a glance at Douglas.
The middle-aged man, who was also very thin in his back, walked in front of him on the right, with his head held high and his chest held high, and his steps were calm. Every time he stops and forwards, he has a kind of confidence that he has everything under control.
It was as if he wasn't taking Thor into someone else's territory, but taking Thor on a tour of his own.
Thor is the first to enter the core laboratory of the Stargazing Tower.
It's a dazzling white laboratory.
The area is very large, but there aren't a few wizards here. Before entering the lab, Saul and Douglas were thoroughly inspected and disinfected to prevent the contamination they had brought in could affect the results of the experiments in the room.
The core laboratory is equipped with numerous magical light sources, and the white light softly illuminates every corner of the room.
The ground and ceiling were crawled with silver-white pipes that were exposed, intertwined, entwined, converged and then spread out in all directions.
It's like a delicate and complex circuit board, and it's like the blood vessels that are all over the body.
All the information and energy was finally gathered in a huge glass column in the center of the laboratory.
Thor carefully avoided all the pipes and walked to the glass columns.
He placed his hand on the glass, which felt smooth and cold. The glass pillars were filled with a milk-like liquid, with occasional silver fines reflecting the light.
Before entering, Douglas told Saul that in this room, he could not release his mental power, otherwise it would affect the results of the experiment. Of course, the Stargate Council has also arranged a lot of devices to curb mental power, and will alarm and isolate the test subject as soon as abnormal mental power is discovered.
"The first test subjects are hatching after being modified by Wizard Douglas. It is not observable at this time. Wizard Thor can take a look at the experimental data we have recorded here. ”
Murridge walked up, and although he clearly sensed that Thor didn't like him, as one of the main leaders of the project, he didn't care at all what Thor thought of him.
Anyway, if Thor and the others want to use the Red Worm to fight the Kuroshio Doomsday, they can only get the Worm Queen after they leave the wizarding world.
To this end, Wizard Douglas has signed a cooperation agreement with Speaker Alex.
Survive in exchange for knowledge.
Very reasonable.
