624 Chamber of Secrets 1
There were faint force field fluctuations in the narrow passage more than ten meters long, which made it impossible for Raymond to predict the situation behind the passage in advance.
After Raymond walked slowly to the end of this passage, two side-by-side lanes appeared in front of him, the left alleyway mouth had an isolation force field that could resist the entry of third-level wizards, and the right laneway mouth was set up with a strong blocking force field that second-level wizards could not break through.
Raymond, who stopped at the mouth of the alleyway, was hesitating about how to choose, but he heard a faint sound coming from the passage on the right.
These voices were either shrill or low, or hoarse, not like they could be produced by the same creature, and Raymond, who frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to enter the alley on the right to check first.
After clenching his right fist, the blocking force field that could resist the entry of the second-level wizard was immediately broken by Raymond, and after walking in, Raymond found that there was still a breeze in this extremely long and curved alleyway.
But as Raymond progressed, the smell of urine and feces grew stronger, and finally when Raymond appeared at the end of the passage, the scene in front of him made him understand the cause of the smell.
In a huge warehouse-like room, rows of metal cages stacked together were neatly arranged in the room, and among these cages that shone with the luster of the imprisoning force field, there were all kinds of creatures.
Humans, Orcs, Elves, Sea Tribes......
But Raymond's arrival caused all the creatures in the cage near the entrance of the passage to shut up and stop making a sound, and they also cowered and retreated to the corner of the cage, hiding their heads in various ways, and trembling violently as if they were frightened.
The whining and howling that had filled the room gradually diminished until it was all gone, but Raymond, who had begun to walk along the corridors formed by these cages, inspected all the cages after a dozen minutes. The imprisoned creatures inside appear to have been tested by Algernon.
Two-thirds of the cages were empty, but the traces left in the cages indicated that any of the cages had been held in some kind of creature.
There are a total of 320 metal cage rooms, and there are 97 creatures in the cages, which can be divided into 17 races according to race.
A random imprisoned human girl was chosen, and Raymond asked. "Who are you, and why are you being held here?"
The human girl, who was hiding in the corner of the cage with her hands clenched and her legs hanging down, did not dare to answer. The already trembling body trembled even more.
Raymond, who smashed a punch directly on the cage where the imprisoning force field was set up, thought for a moment after destroying the imprisoning force field, and then continued to ask in a slow voice. "I'm here to rescue you, and I hope you'll tell me the truth!"
The human girl huddled in the corner of the cage felt a slight decrease in the trembling of her body at the sound of the sound. After a moment, she looked up hesitantly.
Her long hair obscured her countenance, and it took a moment for her lifeless eyes to regain a glimmer of clarity.
"I, I'm ...... I'm ......."
Dry voice. A human girl who seems to have lost the ability to speak. Stumbling began to tell.
Birya, who had been discovered to have wizarding potential two years earlier, had been abducted from her home in Grantham Plains a few months earlier and was imprisoned there.
The human girl is unfamiliar with the other creatures in the cage, but the creatures in the cage around her are taken away every once in a while by a guy whose whole body is shrouded in a thick fog, and never appears here again.
So a human girl who learns what fate she is about to face. Living in such fear every day, until now she has basically lost the desire to survive, and it is in this cage waiting for the day to be taken away.
"She doesn't even have the strength of a first-level wizard apprentice, just a girl with wizard potential. Raymond, who was crouching outside the cage and listening to her intermittent remarks, was a little incomprehensible. "What kind of evil test is Algernon doing?"
The narration continued to make the human girl remember everything before, and she howled when she felt the danger lifted.
The sound of howling and crying caused a commotion among the creatures in the cage around her, and feeling the winceing eyes coming from all directions, Raymond hesitated for a moment and stood up and said to her. "It's not just humans who are imprisoned here, there are some races that are more aggressive, so you need to be patient for a while and stay here and wait for me!"
After explaining, Raymond turned around and left the room, and after returning the same way, he directly broke into the passage with the existence of an isolated force field.
Two protective force fields of warning were set up in the extremely short passage, and Raymond, who had become very heavy, directly broke through violently in the harsh siren.
At the end of the passage was a large and bright room, which Raymond found to be larger than he had ever expected.
The room illuminated by the magic lamp was five meters high and separated by an insulating force field, and a little look at Raymond determined that this was Algernon's testing laboratory.
Approaching the passage is the most standard wizard's testing room, with a variety of utensils on a ten-meter-long testing table.
After passing through this ordinary testing area, the second area is the area for the production and purification of medicines, and from the third area, the equipment used in biological testing and specimens of various organisms appear.
Complete biological skeletons, specimens with skin removed to dry, and even biological brains that have been preserved in solution, as well as a variety of organs......
A variety of biological specimens are carefully placed in different parts of the area as if they were on display, and are divided according to ethnicity.
Slowly moving through this area, Raymond also found creatures from the Underworld, as well as some lower species that should belong to the Nightmare Realm.
There were hundreds of biological specimens, which surprised Raymond more and more, but after he broke the barrier field behind the third area, it was like a scene that made Raymond shiver.
There was a small amount of blood on the ground that had not fully coagulated, and two humanoids whose skin had been stripped and bound by the imprisoned force field were glaring at him with their protruding eyes.
The two humanoids, who had not yet died completely, had not only been completely stripped of their skin, but also had no internal organs in their abdominal cavity that had been cut along the chest line.
The purple blood was already in a semi-congealed state in the wooden barrel placed under the bodies of the two humanoids, and the spilled blood made the barrel seem to accumulate a lot of purple-black jelly around the barrel.
Sighing secretly, these two humanoid creatures who have been treated like this have no possibility of salvation, they have lost all their senses and are on the verge of dying, just relying on the powerful survival ability given by the race, they are trying their best to delay the time of death.
Bypassing the two humanoids suspended in mid-air, Raymond began to inspect along the wall, and soon found a small wooden barrel that had not been completely slatted at the long table on the left......
After lifting the lid, Raymond saw crystals that had condensed on the surface like a crust due to moisture, and with a slight shake, the thin crust shattered, revealing an extremely fine powder as white as jade underneath.
This substance, which emitted a spicy and slightly sour smell, made Raymond frown, and after a moment of thought, Raymond suddenly realized that this should be a dehydrating agent that can absorb water in the body of living organisms, and is known for its strong effect.
In this small area, which is not particularly large, a large number of sharp knives and odd-looking tools are neatly placed on the long table, and on the small table near the two dying humanoids, Raymond sees some tools that are still stained with purple blood and white pulp.
In the corner near the isolation field, when Raymond lifted a circular carpet with a diameter of more than two meters, he found a bottomless cave...... (To be continued......)
