Chapter 11: The Gambler of Spells

Neither of them spoke, and the only thing in the room was the rustling of files.

The safe is full of experimental reports, and the amount of text is very large, but Ji Xun can read it quickly.

The mechanical arm girl obviously knew the meaning of those file levels better than Ji Xun, saw the key point, and secretly exclaimed: "What this 407 anomalous creature containment center is studying... It turned out to be a 'T-class calamity'! ”

Ji Xun listened to the imperceptible murmur while reading ten lines at a glance.

That's what he's looking for.

Some key clues to clear the level.

In the archives, he not only saw the [Fallen Witch] in Room 2012, but also the [Corrupt Giant] in 1099, and the [Cursed Gambler] in 3045... and something else.

Some of the most intractable calamities that have been explored so far have been recorded.

But obviously, Ji Xun had guessed a little wrong before.

This bunker isn't about the monsters that are imprisoned.

These monsters are just experimental products of research.

And the real object of research is what the "source of catastrophe".

I didn't understand what the source of the catastrophe was.

But judging by the description, it should be a dangerous item with super pollution.

And he always paid attention to the demeanor of the girl with the mechanical arm flipping through the files, and it was not difficult to deduce that this was probably something terrible.

......

The two didn't communicate, and Ji Xun quickly flipped through those files.

At this time, he opened another file bag and found an accident report.

"Archive Closed: S719 Incident Report"

"Incident Rating: Grade D"

"Details: On July 19, it was found that the monitoring data of the central experiment was abnormal, and there was a short period of abnormal commotion in the distortions of each cabin in the laboratory; After careful investigation, no suspicious conditions were found... Judged to be a low-level risk. solutions to strengthen inspections."

"Ombudsman: Dr. P. Law"

"File correction: On August 2nd, there was an aberrant riot in the experimental bunker, and at this moment I realized that I might have made a big mistake, it was an S-class cataclysm! In fact, the source of the catastrophe leaked and polluted a long time ago, and we have been polluted unconsciously; My perception, and even everyone in the lab, was eroded by some mysterious force that made us misjudge the risk level... It's too late to stop it, it's too late, the terror has already come..."

Seeing this, the puzzle-like clues in Ji Xun's mind seemed to be connected.

Although there are still a few pieces missing, he has roughly restored the cause of the incident of the [407 Anomalous Biological Containment Center]: someone once studied a dangerous "catastrophic source" in this bunker, and then made these monsters. But during the study, there was a contamination leak and the entire lab was infected. The monsters rioted and killed everyone in the lab.

It's not too complicated plot.

Ji Xun looked at the remaining files, and while continuing to flip through them, he casually reminded the mechanical arm girl beside him: "Be careful, the monster should appear." ”

When the mechanical arm girl heard this, she thought he had found something, and her expression immediately froze.

But after perceiving it for a moment, I didn't find a monster.

Although she was confident in her perception, she thought about it and confirmed, "What did you find?" ”

Ji Xun found something somewhere, and chuckled: "It's just that in terms of the normal plot, we got the key clues, and it's time to go to the intensity." ”

The mechanical arm girl was confused when she heard this black words: "??? ”

"I guessed too."

Ji Xun shrugged with a smile, only to realize that his words did not keep up with the other party's thinking.

He pointed to the information and said: "At present, it seems that these materials are necessary 'clues' for customs clearance." So if there are monsters, they will definitely appear after we get the information. Otherwise, the monsters will kill us as soon as we come in, and those elaborate level settings will be meaningless. ”

The mechanical arm girl is still a little incredulous.

Guess?

What kind of logic is this?

It was as if they had somehow found the file of these key clues, and she hadn't figured out why this guy was inexplicably sure that the monster was about to appear.

Ji Xun looked at the empty laboratory, didn't explain much, and said meaningfully: "I'll know in a while." ”

In this extradimensional space, he felt something unusual.

Just to confirm some conjectures.

......

However, the monster didn't wait, but the two waited for some outsiders first.

While they were still flipping through the archives room, they heard the sound of gunfire in their ears.

It seems that someone from the first floor rushed up and planned to force their way to the third floor.

The fire is fierce, but obviously the monsters are fiercer.

The sound of gunfire was kept suppressed near the second-floor elevator.

"Damn it! The monsters on the second floor are all mentally polluted, and it is difficult for us to rush to the third floor like this. Captain, are we going to step down? ”

"It's a dead end to go back, find a way to find an exit!"

"Huh... There was a hole in the wall of the 2013 room! ”

"Come into the room and hide!"

β€œ...”

I don't know if it's a coincidence, or if they open the door one by one, and those guys outside the door broke into room 2013 and found a hole.

There were a lot of people listening to the movement, and those guys also entered the research room.

Through the glass, Ji Xun saw that it was a bunch of heavily armed elite squads rushing in, about a dozen people.

The mechanical arm girl recognized the badge emblem on these people and reminded, "Be careful, they are mercenaries of the Blackwater Group. The guy who licked the blood from the knife edge. ”

To put it succinctly, Ji Xun immediately knew that these people were probably not good at stubble.

He rolled his eyes and asked, "Can you fight?" ”

β€œ...”

The mechanical girl didn't speak, just glanced at it.

The meaning of that look is obvious: I am safe for myself, the key is your oil bottle.

Ji Xun immediately understood, and Xiaoxiao didn't care.

Compared to the intensity of the levels he was about to encounter, he felt that the threat of these mercenaries was nothing.

On the contrary, there are more people, and there are more opportunities for trial and error.

......

After all, they were professional mercenaries, and the group of armed men could easily spot the whereabouts of the two of them from the traces on the ground.

"Captain, there's someone here!"

After Ji Xun and the two were discovered, both sides seemed very cautious.

You can't hit it.

There are more than a dozen people on the other side, and the probability of accidentally injuring a rookie is very high.

Ji Xun signaled his teammates around him not to be impulsive, spread his hands, and took the initiative to speak: "Everyone, we have no intention of being enemies with you. ”

Seeing him raise his hand and walk out of the room like this, the bald strong man in the leader of the other party glanced at him, lowered his guard a little, and asked, "You killed the monster outside?" ”

Everyone knows that the biggest threat in this situation is monsters, and it is not a rational choice to rush into conflict.

"Yes."

Ji Xun responded: "We were also lucky, we smashed the wall while fighting monsters and found this place. ”

As soon as he heard this, he guessed that the mercenaries didn't recognize what the puddle of flesh outside was.

Not everyone knows the A-class Calamity [Fallen Witch].

At least in this dungeon, everyone who had seen it in its monster form before was dead.

Otherwise, if they were recognized, these mercenaries would definitely speak more politely than they do now.

Ji Xun said, and didn't forget to inquire about the love report: "Everyone, what happened, why did this space suddenly increase in difficulty?" ”

The bald man clearly knew something, but did not answer.

He glanced at the two of them and asked rhetorically, "Did you find anything?" ”

probably thinks that Ji Xun is just two scattered people here, and this guy's demeanor and demeanor all reveal the arrogance and domineering of their many people.

His head was pointed at by more than a dozen guns, and Ji Xun also looked interested, and responded: "Oh." We just found a safe, but we can't open it. ”

After all, he is a professional actor, and at this moment he has played the luck of a chicken stealing adventurer who lives on shit luck to the present.

"Safe?"

Although the bald man was suspicious, he didn't see any flaws.

But apparently, the keyword "safe" grabbed everyone's attention at once.

Intuition tells them: this is the key clue!

Ji Xun and the two were pointed at by the swarthy muzzles, and they retreated very quickly.

Two mercenaries walked in and shouted, "Captain, there is indeed a safe." ”

The bald captain immediately ordered: "Sixth, you go and find a way to open it." ”

In the team, a mercenary with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks walked in: "Yes." ”

There will definitely be various professions in a mature mercenary group, such as the thief sequence, who is good at opening treasure chests and breaking traps.

Ji Xun looked at the lockpicking tool that the man took out, and knew that this person was very professional.

However, he was not worried that the other party would find that the safe was empty.

Because time doesn't allow.

Before, the two of them had small goals and small movements.

Now that there is such a big commotion, if there are monsters, this time should also come.

He pulled the mechanical arm girl next to him and found a position to stand against the wall, so that at least there would be no monsters on his back.

.....

Sure enough.

Suddenly, everyone obviously felt an inexplicable chill.

The mechanical arm girl was the first to discover something, and reminded in a solemn tone: "Be careful, something has come in." ”

Her gaze scanned everywhere with a grim look.

Ji Xun is quite relaxed.

If you have to fight, you can only call it risky, and if you can't fight it at all, you don't need to consider the risk.

His strength is superfluous to worry about.

Just leave the battle to your teammates.

His mind was sorting out and analyzing the complex information in the materials he had just found, sorting them one by one, and then picking out what might be useful, and then making a contingency plan in connection with the current situation.

My mind raced.

Among the blackwater mercenaries not far away, there were obviously transcendents of the perception system, and after a while, they also discovered something, and exclaimed, "Captain, the aura of calamity is approaching!" ”

As soon as these words came out, more than a dozen mercenaries immediately entered the battle state and formed a bucket-defended formation that looked very professional.

The muzzles of the guns pointed to the passage in the far part of the laboratory.

For a while, the huge space could be heard falling from the needles, and the sound of breathing became heavy.

.......

Now the difficulty of this extradimensional space has risen to "unknown", and no one knows what monsters will appear.

The atmosphere was tense.

Ground!

A black shadow flashed around the corner of the passage in the far distance of the laboratory, and several humanoid spiders sped out of the ceiling.

It was like cold water dripping from a frying pan, and at this moment, the huge experiment boiled.

"Da, da..."

"Knock, knock, knock, knock..."

All kinds of guns poured down like a torrential rain, and the sound was so loud that it seemed to stuff people in the drum and beat them randomly.

The muzzle of the gun gushed like a light elf in the darkness, flickering and jumping, illuminating the frightened and nervous faces.

It has to be said that the combat effectiveness of these Blackwater mercenaries is directly reflected in the equipment.

All kinds of heavy firearms, as well as steam black technology, have burst out with super lethality, what steam war hammers, high-pressure spray cannons, mechanical flying forks...

The individual boilers that these strong men have on their bodies are larger and more powerful.

More than a dozen people cooperated tacitly, and the firepower alternately covered it, and did not give the monster any chance at all.

As soon as the humanoid spiders appeared, they were beaten into a sieve.

Compared to any monster, Ji Xun is curious about those magic cards.

During the battle, he saw a new magic card.

He watched the bald head swoop out a few red cards, which suddenly exploded like a grenade near the monster.

Cards can fly many times at a time, and as long as the flying card skills are good enough, they can also blast accurately.

It's a lot better than grenades.

But in the blink of an eye, the monster at the end of the field of vision was lying on the ground and became a puddle of rotten meat.

However, the crisis is far from over.

The girl with the mechanical arm sensed something, and her expression became more and more solemn.

And Ji Xun also felt that this level of monster was far from reaching the expected intensity.

Sure enough!

Everyone had just killed a wave of mobs, and they didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, in another passage, a monster more than two meters tall slowly walked out.

It was a monster with a humanoid dog body with a hideous face and a severed hand.

Ji Xun looked over, his eyes narrowed slightly.

With such a high degree of recognition, it is obviously the B-class calamity of 3045 on the third floor.

But now it's not a B-class in intelligence.
