No one other than the three managers of the underground cavern would have known that one of the entrances to the deepest part of the underground would be in the utility room where the lab supplies were kept.

After confirming that no one had been discovered, Artist used his authority to open the hidden passage.

"Looks like they've found the entrance, and I thought I'd have to wait for them."

Behind the door was the last winding staircase, and as soon as the door was opened, you could see some footprints on the faint dust on the ground, and a bell rang from time to time where it stretched out.

"We can't keep them waiting."

He relieved himself to hand over the magnetic *** scrambler to Lu Yuansheng, while he picked up the box containing Cheng Jiang, closed the entrance of the passage, and continued to lead the way in front.

The stairs were deeper than expected, and Lu Yuansheng recalled the map he had seen at the beginning and the direction he had first entered, and he could roughly confirm that this place led to the underground area in the center of the entire cave.

As I walked deeper up the stairs, I could hear the bells ringing more and more clearly, followed by the murmuring of chanting.

Even if he couldn't hear what this scripture was chanting clearly, Lu Yuansheng unconsciously felt a little sleepy.

"Mr. Judge, it's here."

Artiste's voice sounded just in time to bring him back to his senses, and the bell and the inexplicable chanting came to an abrupt end.

At the end of the stairs was a sealed wall, and Zhang Daoquan had already taken off his protective clothing at this time, and was meditating with his eyes closed in front of the door.

Two unfortunate fellows knelt down in front of him, and as soon as he stopped chanting, their faces turned terrified and wept, and they clung to his robes and cried incessantly.

Zhang Daoquan let them cry and pull unmoved, opened his eyes and turned his head to Lu Yuansheng and nodded wordlessly.

Then the two stood up in front of them, the sleeves of their robes waving downward, signaling that their keys were in place.

Lu Yuansheng looked left and right, but didn't see the figure of the little man in the shadow.

"No problem, it's them."

Artiste half-crouched down to take a closer look, but the two keys looked like they had been stimulated by something, and they shrank into the corner.

"But, what about Shadow?"

He also noticed the problem.

Zhang Daoquan shook his head and pointed to his mouth, he was not allowed to speak.

"Say it."

The thin Taoist priest still honestly kept his agreement with Artiste.

"The Shadow Monk didn't like the cramped environment here, so he went out first."

"Got out?"

Artist also didn't expect it, this is a little different from what he said.

"It's okay, she's not important."

He patted the little face of the two keys, not very concerned about anything else.

"Mr. Judge, please give the jammer to the group of fellow Daoists, from this wall onwards, our authority will not be fully effective."

However, he whispered a message to Lu Yuansheng through his nerves: "In order to prevent my heart's device from being affected, I will avoid using the jammer for a while, you can see how he will use the jammer, but you also need to be careful of his spells and missing shadows."

This coincides with Lu Yuansheng's thoughts, and the shadow hidden in the shadows is the most dangerous.

"I have a proposal, I don't think you can spare your hands, why don't you teach me how to use this jammer?"

Lu Yuansheng didn't plan to hand over this jammer easily, this obviously critical and dangerous weapon was better in his hands.

And holding this jammer, to a certain extent, it can also prevent Zhang Daoquan from having bad intentions and quietly affecting his spiritual senses. When the opponent fights him for the first time, he should be able to know that mind control does not work on him immediately, and if the opponent still wants to do something small, he can also destroy this key jammer.

"Good proposal!" Atiste immediately chimed in.

Seeing this, Zhang Daoquan did not object, and he couldn't even see any change in his face.

"Put your hand on any opposite side of the cube, gently press it and wait for ten seconds, you can enter the unlocked state, and then follow the prompts to select the gear, but pay attention to the stored energy state."

"If you don't have enough energy and you choose an overloaded gear, it may cause the jammer to be locked up until it is recharged."

Lu Yuansheng followed his prompts, and sure enough, ten seconds later, the originally tightly knit cube shone out a faint white light from the lines on it, and then slowly unfolded into an irregular shape along the lines.

Originally, different display information appeared in the center of the six faces, and each opposite face was a separate gear.

"Mr. Judge, you can take off your protective suit, and after the magnetic *** scrambler is activated for a while, the electronic components of this set of equipment are estimated to be useless."

One last time Atiste sent a message, he took off his hazmat suit and found the hidden start switch between the walls.

[There is a forbidden area ahead, please verify your identity]

The sweet girl rang from the direction of the door, and he took out the frozen eyeball, and placed his hand and eyeball on top of the hidden sensor.

【Verifying】

【Verified Approved】

【Organism testing begins】

【Warning! Warn! 】

[There is an unknown organism following you at the current entrance, please check your safety again]

"Okay, my job is done, and then I'll trouble the two of you, I'll avoid it for now."

Artist gracefully hugged him and apologized, then turned and walked back.

"Dao Chief, in order to avoid problems with my operation, I hope you can pay a little attention to your words and deeds in a while."

After Atiste left, Lu Yuansheng didn't forget to remind Zhang Daoquan not to think anything about him.

"Don't worry, I'll remind you to stay away if necessary."

Zhang Daoquan was still so breezy and calm, and after speaking, he shook the bell lightly.

Qi Hui, who was wearing a lab coat on the ground, stumbled to his feet and found the hidden start switch.

[There is an unknown organism following you at the current entrance, please check your safety again]

The bell rang again, and another manager, Liu ***, also repeated this set of actions.

Eventually, the prompt changed.

[Three verifications passed, access control opened]

The security system was not triggered as expected, the gate was opened normally, and a circular corridor appeared behind it, empty of ambushes.

"Use it, third gear."

Zhang Daoquan stood motionless in front of him, and just said softly.

Lu Yuansheng did not hesitate, and immediately urged the jammer in his hand, and the invisible electromagnetic storm swept the entire space, and even the lights of the passage flickered under the interference and went out with a bang, plunging the entire underground space into darkness.

Only the surrounding walls were still crackling, and electric currents flickered above the walls, suggesting that there were many electrical systems buried under the smooth walls.

But soon, the channel was lit up again, and the DC-based backup circuit was not damaged by the magnetic storm too much, and could be replaced as soon as the original AC circuit was destroyed, so as to maintain the stability of this critical center area as much as possible.

Two minutes later, Artist walked back in, the high-brightness flashlight that had been prepared to illuminate the passage even brighter.

"Let's go, this first entrance is really just a trap, and even if you collect all three keys, if an undocumented organism rushes in, the invisible laser may shatter everything until only these three managers with biological records are left."

He passed a few people and continued to lead the way.

The crowd walked in the middle of the circular corridor, keeping a distance from the walls on both sides.

Because after the electromagnetic storm, part of the remaining circuits are still strong, behind the wall

Some capacitors also accumulate a large amount of charge, and they can burst from time to time.

Inside the middle column is their purpose this time, the most critical control center in the cave.

The entrance to the control room is not specifically hidden, and a heavy door with a verification system is revealed.

It's just that the verification system is also flashing an arc, without any display, and obviously it has not survived the electromagnetic storm.

"It's actually a trap, it's not a control room switch, even if it's a rights manager, no matter what order they activate this verification switch, it will trigger further security measures to kill all intruders."

Artist distanced himself from the ruined verification system, then gently pressed his hand against the door.

"You can rest assured that the central system has taken into account the most extreme cases, so it will not be damaged by a simple electromagnetic storm."

With a slight effort, a dent appeared in the door where he had pressed, and with a slight turn, a mechanical combination lock appeared on the door.

"Who would have thought that the real method of opening this control room is actually a traditional mechanical switch?"

He smiled and pulled out a key and inserted it first.

"Alright, the rest of the password is up to the other two."

The bell rang again, and Zhang Daoquan lightly said the word "go", and the two rushed forward and entered part of the password they had mastered.

Lu Yuansheng sighed at the end, looking at the somewhat dilapidated scene around here, he really admired the mind of the security designer, if it was an ordinary intruder, he might really be easily killed between the traps that confused him and the reality.

The final curfew opened, revealing the most mysterious control room.

Cylindrical consoles occupy almost the entire room, and stout lines are neatly buried in specific pipes and scattered across the surrounding ground.

At the top of that console, there was also a mechanical pile-shaped device, three regular crystals shining with golden light, buried in the three corners of the device through three cylinders with transparent windows.

Lu Yuansheng recognized that this was a miniaturized high-energy reactor using flare crystal confinement.

It turns out that this place is not only the most central control room, but also the energy core of this cave.

"All right, gentlemen, there is only one last step left."

Atiste lifted Cheng Jiang out of the box, pulled out a nerve patch from the console and pasted it on top of his head.

"Fellow Daoists, please."

With all that done, he retreated out of the doorway.

"Mr. Judge, please take a step away to avoid being affected."

Zhang Daoquan nodded to Artiste first, and then turned to Lu Yuansheng and said.

Lu Yuansheng also followed Artist to retreat outside the door, finding the farthest place where he could see the internal scene, and at the same time gently put the magnetic *** scrambler on the ground to avoid affecting his operation.

He looked around again, but there was still no sign of the shadow.

The bell in Zhang Daoquan's hand rang again, and at this last step, Qi Hui and Liu *** looked a little reluctant, but with another bell, the fear on their faces became rich again, as if they thought of something desperate, and they trembled and put on the nerve patch.

"Look inside the mind, the mind without the mind; The appearance is its shape, and the shape is not its shape; Look at it from afar, and there is nothing in it......

The verses of the Qingjing Sutra were chanted by him in an ethereal and empty chanting method, and then walked slowly around the console in the middle, stopping one sentence at a time, and rattling the bell one by three.

Gradually, the situation in the control room became weird.

At first, the three keys with the nerve patches on them all had happy smiles on their faces, but as the rattles rang one after another, their faces gradually became hideous, and their bodies also showed struggling movements.

Including Cheng Jiang, who was originally in a coma, he also fell into an unknown illusion, and the tape tied to his body tightened him under the contraction of his muscles

There were many more fresh traces of blood.

"Mr. Judge, you should be alright, right? If there's something you're not comfortable with, you can talk to me."

Artiste came to Lu Yuansheng's side, looked at his strange panda mask and said softly.

"Okay, so you can control the other person's mind?"

Lu Yuansheng pinched his chin and looked into the distance, he could also hear the illusory sound and bell, but it was only the same as before, as long as he concentrated, he could resist the past.

"This is the secret of the Church of Doom, I don't know how it works, but it must have something to do with the mental state of the person involved."

"Just like many people who are scared to death, in fact, because the fear in their hearts is infinitely magnified, and in the end, they are scared to death by themselves, not by external objects."

Artiste rubbed his wrist and whispered his guess.

After watching Zhang Daoquan gradually go around in a circle, he reminded in a low voice: "Mr. Judge, the supreme control can be transferred after the blockade is lifted."

"Hmm."

Lu Yuansheng naturally understood what he meant, he was telling himself that Zhang Daoquan would be the first person to contact the authority, and he should be careful that he took the opportunity to transfer the authority.

「...... True and always adapted, true and always available; It should always be quiet, always quiet."

"Open, open, open!"

As a scripture was recited, Zhang Daoquan's rattle became larger and larger, and the three words "open" mixed with the crisp bell ringing were instilled into the brains of the three keys.

Finally, the display lit up.

Zhang Daoquan looked at the content on the screen and was a little stunned.

And the next moment, he was attacked from behind by a sudden huge force and fell to the ground.

Lu Yuansheng pressed his neck with his knees to prevent him from making a sound, and at the same time, he knocked down the other party's bell as soon as possible.

However, when he also looked at the screen, he couldn't help but be stunned.
