487. The exhibition hall is open to visitors only!
"It's snowing, it's so big, it reminds me of the night I was picked up by you"
Murphy hovered in the snowy night sky, looking condescendingly at the scarlet keep, and said to Trace, who was beside him:
"I still don't know what you picked up me for dying that night? It's just that I feel that I'm more handsome, and it would be a pity to starve to death in a bleak night? ”
"Phew, shameless, how can anyone say that he is handsome?"
Tracy spread her hands in the air to let the snowflakes fall on her palms, and she complained with a straight face:
"You're cheeky, it's quite shameless among the generally shameless vampires, so let me be kind that night. However, the snow is heavy enough, and according to the weather in Translancia in previous years, there should be at least three more snowfalls in the next two months, and then a colder early spring will come.
To make matters worse this year, the land will face another challenge when early spring arrives.
However, the Jackals who live in the Dark Mountains don't like to be active in cold climates, so if all goes well, their entry into Translancia will be delayed. ”
"They can't get in!"
Murphy confidently said:
"We'll keep them in the barren mountain defenses, and we'll never let them break through the swamp! My territory is finally getting better, and I won't allow the barbarians to destroy this. ”
"It's good to have faith."
Tracey hesitated, but still didn't say what she was thinking.
Murphy didn't care about Tracey's thinking of things in the worst way, he took out his broken pocket watch, looked at the time, turned to Tracey and said:
"The purge over there in the swamp forbidden area should be over, and I was going to go over tomorrow to have a look, but it's rare to snow tonight, and it's a pity to sleep in the room with such a good view. So, my dear Lady Trissy, may I have the privilege of inviting you to join me on my expedition to the Land of Creation tonight? ”
"Okay."
Tracey readily agreed.
She is very interested in the hidden land of the Creator in the swamp.
If it weren't for the fact that the key to enter it was in Murphy's hands, the powerful psionic master would not have cared about the so-called "martial law purge", and she would definitely rush in for a walk as soon as she found it.
Strong strength is the basic condition to ensure that Tris dies but will not really die, and from this point of view, the Scarlet Witch is actually quite a chicken thief.
For more than 100 years of her downfall, she didn't die everywhere, but lived in the broken courtyard of Cadman City as a housemaiden.
Obviously, Tracey's understanding of "security" is definitely the leading version.
She had already recorded the location of the swamp forbidden place, which would clench Murphy's wrist and disappear in the teleportation streamer, and after a few seconds of astral walking, re-enter the material world and appear at the bottom of the bare mountain.
The heavy snow in Translancia obviously does not fall here, and while the outside temperature plummets, the stable ecology of the swamp will not be broken.
Murphy awakens the Vientiane Device in his hand and puts it into the form of an astral guide staff, and he walks forward with the strange-looking metal staff, Tracey following closely behind, not forgetting to apply various protective spell states to himself and Murphy.
This time, when Murphy stepped into the passage to the mountains, his character card did not pop up to prove that the internal blockade of the area had been lifted, so the vampire lord walked forward with confidence and boldness.
After a few minutes of descending the stone staircase, Murphy's eyes narrowed at the sight of a metal staircase and a heavy blast door.
Hey, the style of painting has changed!
All of a sudden, from a fantasy world set in the Middle Ages to an exploration of suspected "relics of prehistoric technological civilization" with a vampire lady, Murphy is sure that if he opened this area to his young players, they would also exclaim that it was unscientific.
And now it seems that the mystery of the so-called "creator" should indeed be related to "future technology", after all, you see that the steel gate in front of you is definitely a thousand tons and has a modular design, no matter how you look at it, it can't be related to the mystery of psionic energy, right?
Not to mention, you're swaying around the edge of this gate with a few things levitating. Hiss! That's a camera, right?
Depend on.
It's pretty advanced.
Murphy grumbled inwardly, and as he and Tracy approached the blast door, the three levitation devices hovering around the metal wall quickly approached.
Their insect-like shells opened with a click and glowed blue, a sight that made Tracey warily pull out the Serenade Scepter, only to be held down by Murphy.
"Just a detection scan, don't worry."
He whispered, then lifted the Vientiane device in his hand.
This thing is the legacy left by the creator, and it will inevitably form a connection with the place of creation in front of him, and Murphy also has the identity of the administrator Alpha.
No matter how bad it is, it shouldn't provoke a hostile reaction here, right?
As Murphy watched, an iron beetle-like device stopped in front of him, and the vampire lord waved at it in a friendly manner, before the shell of the thing opened, and a flashlight-like object popped out and aimed.
"Whoosh"
A dark blue beam of light scanned from the top of Murphy's head all the way down to his feet, and a blue light curtain was projected next to the iron beetle, showing Murphy's body scan in the form of parameters.
Then Murphy tragically discovered that his platelet level was only one percent of a normal person's, which meant that his blood could not clot naturally at all.
But if you think about it, maybe it's because you're a vampire?
He also wanted to take a closer look at his "medical report", but the beam of the iron beetle in front of him disappeared in the next moment, and then hovered over Murphy's shoulder in a soft stance.
"Welcome to the core area of the Swamp Ecozone Exhibition Hall, Your Excellency Administrator Alpha!
The control core has given you temporary guest permissions, please go to the underground data station to authenticate and complete the 'Vientiane' device binding, and the process will be completed to obtain more advanced permissions for you. ”
The soft female electronic voice sounded in Murphy's heart along with the vibration of the iron beetle on his shoulder, which confirmed Murphy's guess that he, the administrator, was indeed the "creator" from this world!
But the voice only echoed in Murphy's mind, and Triss couldn't hear it.
She could only see that after Murphy was scanned by the blue light, the three levitating iron beetles with energy fluctuations quickly converged their attack movements, and even took the initiative to levitate beside Murphy, as if they were protecting his safety.
This made Triss sigh in her heart that her little Murphy was really a different man.
He said that he was concerned by the subspace shadows and endowed with some kind of power, and now it seems that the subspace shadows who pay attention to little Murphy are most likely the creators worshipped by the Songhai people, right?
"Follow me, Tracey."
Murphy reached out and grabbed Tracey's left hand, and as he browsed the rules of the newly popped-up swamp ecozone exhibit on the translucent interface in front of him, he said to Trace:
"This is a no-show zone, temporary visitors can't use psionic spells once they enter it, and you'll have to store any psionic items on your body in a locker in the visitor area."
"Psionic exclusion zone?"
Tracey's face changed dramatically when she heard this.
For a psionic master like her, it was obviously an unacceptable adventure to enter an unknown area where psionic energy could not be used.
She instinctively refused, but when she saw Murphy's affirmative eyes, she knew that her little Murphy had confirmed that the area in front of her was not a threat to her personal safety.
"Don't be afraid, this is the land of creation, and we have become guests of the Creator, and as long as we don't violate the rules here, we won't be harmed.
Come. ”
He pulled Tracy forward and stood in front of the heavy blast door, and was scanned again in front of the window waiting for the "ticket to enter", this time the prompt simply marked all the "contraband" on Murphy and Tracy's bodies.
Surprisingly, however, Necessary Evil is not labeled as contraband, and it seems that the sword that terrifies life is also in the "safe category" of the Creator's system.
The vampire lord didn't care too much about taking off his ornaments and armor, and only wore a single coat, and the three iron beetles floating next to him showed him the area where to store his clothes.
As he tapped, a very high-tech black box popped up from the metal wall next to it.
This fist-sized thing may have some kind of spatial quality, after all, Murphy has a lot of belongings, and it is impossible to fit into such a small area.
Probably because of the unusual identity of Administrator Alpha, after Murphy removed the "contraband", an iron beetle also brought him a very plain, unadorned black robe to replace.
It's a pity that Tracey doesn't have this treatment.
Every ornament on the Vulture Archduke's body is basically a psionic item, and the front hints that Tracey must take off these before she is allowed to enter the Land of Creation.
This made the Scarlet Witch hate itchy, and she waved the Serenade Scepter and prepared to try to "force her way".
As a result, as soon as the psionic power was deployed, a piercing warning sound sounded around the blast door in front of him.
Red warning beams cast into the air, sealing the path to the Land of Creation, and more than fifty oddly shaped guns of various calibers popped out at her as if by magic on the surrounding tumbling metal blocks.
There is also a very advanced electromagnetic cannon that looks very advanced, uses energy as a weapon, and has already begun to charge.
This turn of events startled Murphy.
He immediately opened his arms in front of Trith, and the Administrator's identity worked wonders, and although the shrill warnings still echoed, the threatening defensive firearms were recovered into the weapons bay.
"This is the land of creation! Tracey! I have reason to believe that there is enough power hidden here to hurt you. ”
Murphy looked back at the Archduke the Vulture, and he whispered:
"If you really can't adapt to an environment without psionic powers, why don't you stay here first? Wait until I go in and get higher clearance, and then let you in? ”
"Nope! I will not allow you to set foot in this dangerous place alone. ”
Tracey bit her lip.
It didn't take her long to convince herself, and with a sigh she placed the Serenade Scepter in the tray that the iron beetle poked out of front of her, and took off her clothes with various psionic protective effects under Murphy's gaze, until she was still told not to set foot in the Land of Creation when she was left with only a close-fitting single garment.
Murphy's eyes twitched as he looked at the black underwear on Tracey's body, and he said:
"As for it? You even have a protective spell on your underwear? Are you psionic masters sick? ”
"You don't understand! This is called precaution, but there have been cases of psionic masters being assassinated in bed before, otherwise I wouldn't be so vigilant. ”
Tracy blushed and shouted to Murphy:
"You turn around."
"Hush."
The vampire lord made a nasal noise, but turned around and handed the black robe to Tracy to cover his body.
After a few seconds, Tracey finished changing her clothes, and now there were no more "contraband" on her body, and the red warning beam in front of her finally turned into a green glow for safety.
Click.
The closed, heavy metal door recesses inwards and then stretches and rotates to the left, revealing the exhibition area within.
The combination of a sleek floor, an empty visitor lobby, a lighting beam hidden in the dome, a floating cleaning robot that moves across the ground for cleaning, and an optical signage and eco-zone presentation projected along the side of the flower beds give Murphy a rather futuristic feel.
The moment he stepped into the visitor hall, an invisible pressure enveloped him, not heavy but like a shackle that temporarily sealed Murphy's connection with psionic energy.
It's like an organ in his body being "cut off", which makes Murphy feel uncomfortable.
His connection with psionic energy is not deep, and it is already so, and the Triss beside him is even more unbearable.
The moment her connection with psionic energy was cut off, the Grand Duke of the Blood Vulture let out a mournful cry, clutched her forehead, fell to the ground, and was held in place by Murphy.
"I told you to stay outside."
He helped Tracey, who was weak and had a splitting headache, to sit on the chair next to him, and found and activated the massage function on the chair's control panel, holding Tracey's wrist to soothe her while checking the rules and regulations of the exhibition area.
After a few seconds, he frowned and said:
"Originally, the visitor area was not completely closed to psionic circulation, but the vicious theft that occurred three days ago has increased the security level of the control core here. This 'psionic zone' was temporarily activated to prevent the recurrence of theft. ”
"So, the torn flesh really took some of the Creator's treasures from here?"
Tracey lay pale in the visitor's chair, she breathed smoothly while looking at the unusual facilities and environment around her, she rubbed her eyebrows and said to Murphy:
"Leave me alone, you hurry in and see what the meat has taken away! If the gnolls take some kind of terrible weapon left behind by the Creator, we will have to contact Lord Pa Ying immediately.
The Black Plague is terrible enough, and the Gnolls can't afford to take away more deadly things. ”
"Don't worry, this is just an exhibition area, and the Creator or His servants will not leave the weapons that could destroy the world here. You stay here and rest for a while, don't run around, and if you can't do it, just quit and wait for me outside. ”
Murphy examines the control panel of the visitor chair, where he invokes the "Visitor Life Support" and pulls down the breathing mask that pops out of the back of the mechanical chair and places it over Tracey's cheek.
As Tracey inhaled certain gases, her uncomfortable motion sickness-like symptoms were quickly relieved and she became a little drowsy.
"Take care of her for me."
Murphy stood up and spoke to the three iron beetles hovering beside him.
He wasn't sure if he could understand it, but after the order was given, an iron beetle did land and hover next to Tracey.
The vampire lord glanced at Trith, who had already gone into hibernation, and he no longer hesitated, holding the Vientiane device and following the guidance of the street signs projected on the flower beds, and quickly entered the corridor deep in the exhibition hall.
As a result, as soon as he stepped inside, he was confronted by two heavily armed mechanical guards who were still patrolling, and stopped Murphy.
They resemble another of Murphy's memories of Robocop!
Its grayish-black appearance is humanoid, with a V-shaped goggle helmet and a blue security personnel uniform and cape.
The two security robots were armed with a variety of weapons that Murphy couldn't understand but were certainly very awesome, and even had a saw-bladed knife around their waists.
Once this brutal weapon is in operation, it shouldn't be a problem to shred a gnolf in a matter of seconds.
However, the two pavilion guards did not stop Murphy from advancing, on the contrary, they politely moved out of the way and made a "please" gesture.
The Doge blinked, smiled back very decently, and strode forward.
At the end of the hallway was an elevator, and next to it stood something Murphy was very familiar with.
"Vending machines?"
The vampire's heart welled up with emotion for no apparent reason, and he quickly stepped forward to manipulate the thing to select one of the things that resembled happy water, but he had a hard time making the payment.
This thing popped up a weird-looking QR code for him, leaving him frozen in place, not knowing what to do next.
Feed!
I don't have a thing like that, so how can I pay?
Just as he complained, when his eyes swept over the QR code, a familiar sound of scanning the code sounded in his head, the payment was completed, and a can of "Creator's Drink" popped out of the shipping port.
And a line of concise words popped up on the character card in front of Murphy's eyes:
"Payment complete! Achievement Points -5! The owner is atmospheric, thank you for your patronage. ”
"! What an achievement! ”
Murphy screamed:
"Lao Tzu finally saved up so many achievements, and only 10 points were given for one achievement, and I bought you a can of soda and took 5 points?
Are you fucking human?
Lao Tzu wants to return it! ”
He grabbed the vending machine and punched and kicked it, and tried to use the "Sister Cannon Repair Method" to get this ghost thing back his achievement points.
But I don't know which strange mechanism was triggered, and in Murphy's wide-eyed gaze, the thing actually retracted into the wall with a click.
Only a black can of soda remained in front of Murphy's eyes.
The Governor sighed, feeling that he was really a, but at this point, he had no choice but to pick up the soda and prepare to reminisce about the "taste of childhood".
But just as Murphy picked up the soda, out of "professional sensitivity", he casually initiated the identification of the items of this thing, and then

】
"Whew, isn't it a system failure but a 'starter pack'? You bastard just scared the hell out of me. ”
Murphy cursed, and the moment he opened the elevator, he pulled the tab of the drink in his hand, and then poured the bubbly drink into his mouth.
He wanted to see what the snacks that the Creator of the dog day had worked on.
This dog thing!
Don't let me get stronger in the future and meet you again, hum, if you don't pick my waist for you, I'll write my name Murphy upside down!
