Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 278: Arm, crown, hourglass

Su Lun recorded everything he was planning to do now in his notebook.

Because he is not sure that even if he has his own "strategy", other variables will not happen.

After all, what if this isn't the first time he "dies" in this space?

There may be a first time, a second time, and a third time countless times.

The "self" who left the note may not necessarily be a success. Probably the only one that I can see in this current timeline.

If you record it in more detail, maybe next time you can give yourself a glimmer of hope in another timeline.

With these thoughts together, my mind becomes an endless nest of dolls.

"No wonder it is one of the supreme laws of the 'Law of Time', it is really the most difficult to figure out"

Su Lun put away the increasingly complicated thoughts in his head. He couldn't understand it and didn't think about it in detail. I just sighed, the chaotic laws of this "God Burial Place" are indeed beyond the comprehension of mortals

"According to the route in the notes, there is no need to waste time visiting most places in this maze"

Su Lun has memorized the route in his mind...

The first thing he had to do before going out was to find the black iron coffin in the Giant's Hall of Valor.

"The notes say that the thing sealed in the coffin should be one of the sources of energy support for this cursed space. It may also be one of the purposes of those in the Luying Royal Legion"

Su Lun walked carefully in the corridor.

The other timeline is that I have explored almost every corner of this underground palace very carefully, and have clearly recorded the dangers and mechanisms here.

Su Lun now doesn’t have to use his face to explore the way, which saves him a lot of effort.

Before the action, he was still a little worried that the actual situation he encountered might be different from the notes, but as soon as he entered the maze, he immediately gave up this worry.

Because it was a note left by "himself", Su Lun could immediately accurately grasp the meaning of that sentence as soon as he saw those words and matched them with the surrounding environment, and he could also understand what he needed next without any mistakes. do what.

Just following the route map, he easily avoided the monsters in the underground maze. Not long after, we came again to the "Giant Hall of Valor" that we had visited before.

There are no tangled roots here yet.

However, there are quite a few space cracks.

Moreover, there are countless floating ghosts.

Those ghosts are no longer normal souls, but polluted ghost aberrations.

The weirdness of black iron and silver is everywhere, even gold level.

"The notes say that you need to organize the cloak through the mirror, open the black umbrella and the shadow of death, and be careful to avoid the space crack at the ten o'clock direction, because monsters will appear there"

Su Lun looked at the detailed references in the notes and did not intend to make any mistakes.

It can be imagined that the former "self" probably spent a lot of time here and carefully tried many times before he figured out the correct route to get close to the coffin.

After he observed that the surrounding environment matched the description perfectly, he put on his cloak, opened his human-skin umbrella, and the shadow of Death holding a sickle appeared behind him, and then he walked out.

After making these preparations, the ghosts floating in the sky seemed not to notice that there was an extra living person here, and drifted about themselves.

Su Lun also breathed a long sigh of relief.

After a while, he approached the coffin easily.

However, it is not easy to get close.

The black iron coffin was not yet chained, but Su Lun felt a majestic pressure from dozens of meters away.

Mysterious, evil, ancient, terrifying, indescribable

It didn't look very real from a distance, but now that I'm close, these indescribable auras are rushing towards my face, like an overwhelming force.

It seemed as if there was an invisible force that pushed all foreign objects away from the coffin. Su Lun was under tremendous pressure every step he took.

"This aura of death is really exaggerated. If you don't understand the law of death, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even get close to this coffin."

Su Lun walked thirty-five steps and stopped at the location recorded in the note.

He also saw clearly the relief carving of evil spirits on the coffin. The content of the carving was probably a story about a hundred-armed giant fighting against a group of demons.

In the end, the fighting plane collapsed, and the hundred-armed giant died in the battle. The huge body was torn into pieces, shattered into countless pieces and scattered everywhere.

Su Lun looked at the content on the mural, his eyes were sharp, and he made another note in his notes.

[Baisha Suppresses the Demon Coffin]

Detailed explanation: The coffin is forged from the fallen black iron produced in the underworld, but it contains seal restrictions that you cannot understand;

The notes did not say that the coffin could be moved, and Su Lun did not dare to make any unnecessary attempts.

Following the method in his notes, he took out a space scroll and released the mechanical armor.

Then he controlled the mecha and started to open the coffin with brute force.

Well, cautious enough, which suits his style.

This is the most dangerous place in the underground maze. The old "self" was worried about the danger it would trigger, so he left it at the end before taking the risk to test it. In the end, a lot of time was wasted because of this.

The mechanical armor walked over, and the necromantic energy quickly corroded the runes and coatings on the armor. The living corpses inside also instantly turned to decay and disappeared into ashes.

Fortunately, the witch's hair can be forcibly reattached. Su Lun continued to control it intermittently, and finally let the armor get closer to the coffin.

The steam boiler accumulated strength and pushed away the heavy coffin board before it crashed.

The sound of "clicking, clicking" metal friction is like the sound of a devil grinding his teeth in hell, making people's hair stand on end.

The coffin opened little by little, and as soon as a gap leaked out, Su Lun saw the "black water" in the coffin.

He was curious about what was in the coffin before, but now he knew from the notes that it was the arm of a hundred-armed giant king.

It's just that the grade is a bit outrageous.

Just a corpse arm can be so powerful, but imagine how terrifying it must have been in life?

Moreover, the coffin is not black water, but the aura of death that is so rich that it turns into mist.

Originally, I could react quickly because I knew the steps to open the coffin.

But Su Lun didn't do that in order to avoid permanent changes. He counted the seven seconds in his mind before taking out a transparent bandage, which was the Iceman Oz's Shroud.

This thing is a real "forbidden object". In addition to being used for invisibility, it also has other uses.

But in reality, it is a sharp weapon used to bind corpses.

The water in the coffin was very dark, but also very clear.

Su Lun also saw clearly a curved arm as clear as jet jade in the water.

Just one arm is nearly three meters long.

The identification shows that besides the name, there is also a row of question marks.

[The arm of Briareus, the Hundred-Armed Giant King]

Detailed explanation:? ? ?

The law of corpse arm overflow is very terrifying. Even from such a distance, Su Lun can feel the terrifying dark energy formed by some special reaction of corpse decomposition, like a black hole, with the ability to tear everything apart. .

This thing, Su Lun's current elemental barrier, is not qualified to get close.

If you really have to touch it with your physical body, it feels like holding a red-hot iron billet with your bare hands. Just thinking about it makes your scalp numb.

The shroud is now at its best use.

He raised his hand, and a transparent strip of cloth floated over, like a snake, and nimbly got into the coffin.

The special material of the shroud made it completely unaffected by the aura of death, and it quickly wrapped the arm tightly, like a mummy.

The moment the energy was completely blocked, Su Lun immediately felt his scalp loosen, and the pressure around him was instantly gone.

The previous feeling of walking on the tip of a knife dissipated.

Su Lun walked over and took out the transparent object from the coffin.

He didn't know what use the Giant King's arm would be in the future, but now it had a big use.

Only by getting this arm can I pick up a key item to break the maze from another part of the maze.

Su Lun also collected the liquid in the coffin using a container.

Although he is not a necromancer, this is the best ration for [Death Bird].

You can’t find such pure necromancy anywhere else

After Su Lun retracted his arms, he opened the black umbrella again.

He looked at the [Eclipse Sun] totem on his chest. It was slightly white and looked like he couldn't hold on for much longer.

As expected, after this time, the totem will completely collapse.

Su Lun pinched the surgeon's seal and shouted softly: "Night Realm·Resolution!"

Although he didn't know whether this move had any significance in breaking the space, "he" had done this before, so he didn't hesitate too much,

The shadow spread from under the human skin umbrella, and the runes on the umbrella lit up with a brilliant golden light.

In an instant, as if they were attracted by something huge, the floating giant ghosts rushed towards the black umbrella like moths to the flame.

Then Su Lun watched the ghosts melt into the stones of the pool, splashed with water, and disappeared.

After a while, the huge space became empty.

The human-skin black umbrella is full of innocent souls, and its luster is black and shiny. Valley

With the addition of thousands of giant evil spirits, the effectiveness of the human-skin black umbrella has been increased by about 20%.

This is the power of a growable cursed object.

Su Lun put away the black umbrella.

Seeing the empty Hall of Valor, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: "When I came here before, there were no ghost species in this Hall of Valor. Could it be because I absorbed all the resentful spirits here? ”

At the same time, he also thought: "So, if I go out now, are there arms in the coffin opened by the Luying Royal Legion, or not?"

With these thoughts, his face immediately showed contemplation.

Like Schrödinger's arm, no one knows whether it is inside the coffin before it is opened.

The "law of time" in Su Lun's thoughts has become more and more complicated, and it seems to be related to quantum mechanics.

Su Lun didn’t think about it and didn’t think about it in detail.

He left the Hall of Valor, then followed the route in his notes, making many twists and turns, and came to a huge stone door in the maze.

My former self tried countless methods in front of this stone door, but failed to open it.

I later learned that a specific kind of law power was needed.

The giants believe in the Mother Goddess of the Earth. There are special restrictions on opening this stone door. It requires a specific bloodline of the earth to open, that is: the giants.

Now Su Lun is the only living person in the entire underground palace, so that corpse arm comes in handy.

I touched it with my arm and pushed the stone door open easily.

The space inside is unsurprisingly huge.

It's like a treasure house of the giants.

But everything inside had been emptied out, and the few scattered weapons, shields, etc. had all turned into decay.

And there is another thing in the most conspicuous position, a gold crown nearly one meter in diameter.

[Giant Crown]

Detailed explanation: It is said that only the giant king is qualified to wear the crown, which contains the inheritance message that only the giant family can understand;

Su Lun got the crown and walked out without stopping.

He bypassed the monster's lair, walked up the "endless dark stairs", and then returned to the main hall of the Giant City.

This is the last step to break this weird timeline

The last thing written in the note was: "I found that there is no crown on the statue of the Hundred-Armed Giant King in this timeline. After it is reset, the position of the Giant Guard sculpture can be moved. Then, I found that my reasoning was completely Correct, this is the key to cracking the 'time mystery'! Unfortunately, I found it too late. It took me several days to find it in the maze."

Su Lun looked at the sculpture of the hundred-armed giant on the throne with a somewhat complicated look.

After looking at it for a moment, he murmured with great emotion: "How much effort did I have to waste in the other timeline to try out this method of breaking the space?"

Without notes, he felt that he might not be able to find the right method for ten and a half days.

Without any delay, Su Lun walked up and put the crown on the stone sculpture's head. He bowed respectfully again: "Sorry, Your Excellency, the Giant King, for disturbing you."

As he spoke, he walked down and began to move the thirty-six guard statues.

At this point, even without notes, Su Lun knew what to do next.

When he entered before, he had carefully observed that in another timeline, the positions of the thirty-six guard statues were different from the current ones.

But it can't be moved.

The Giant King statue must be crowned.

Only like a king has the right to command them.

Su Lun moved ten of them to the location of the timeline in his memory.

He speculated that there may be other ways to place these statues, which may correspond to other timelines.

It's a bit like the hands of a clock. A specific position indicates a specific time.

If it were a puzzle game, Su Lun would definitely be curious about other solutions.

But now, he just wants to return to the original timeline and get out alive.

Not long after, after moving it, Su Lun returned the statue to its place.

Then, a gilded hourglass over half a meter high suddenly appeared in this hall. The transparent glass container contains some light blue crystal clear sand.

【Sands of Time】

Detailed explanation: God-level materials that contain the laws of time are the core of the restrictions in this time domain;

Su Lun looked at the hourglass and let out a long breath.

He finally cracked the special space of this chaotic timeline.

He put away the crown and hourglass, and then walked out of the "Gateway of Time" that suddenly appeared.

The surrounding scene changed, and Su Lun found himself in the previous corridor

"Hey, Yuta isn't here? Is the timeline still wrong?"

Su Lun didn't see his body, nor Yuta, and felt a little strange in his heart.

But when he thought about it, he thought of something else: "I am not dead now, which means that my body will not appear. If my body does not appear, Yuta will not receive the communication signal. Did you find the follow-up plot?"

Su Lun looked at it and saw that the engraving on the wolf tooth necklace was still there.

But the plot of the conversation with Yuta seems to have never happened.

The chaotic timeline led to the emergence of different parallel spaces?

So, does "Su Lun" also exist in other timelines?

For a time, Su Lun had a lot of complicated thoughts in his mind.

Time and space are mixed together.

It made him feel dizzy for a moment.

"No matter what, at least I survived."

Su Lun felt that he could not understand such profound things at his current level of advancement, so he did not force himself to figure it out.

He put aside those complicated thoughts and thought of the present.

"In other words, Yuta is in this space now, not far away?"

Su Lun frowned slightly.

This cursed space is full of dangers, so he is naturally worried about the Druid lady.

He took out his communicator and wanted to try to make contact.

But at this time, I happened to touch the notebook in the bag.

He thought about it and planned to write down all the experiences he had not had time to record just now.

But when he opened it, he was stunned.

There is nothing wrong with the previous notes recording the process of leaving.

But in the end,

Those few sentences were Su Lun's own notes, but he had no memory of anything he had written.

"When I opened the notebook, I realized that I seemed to have forgotten something very important. Even this idea only came to my mind after I saw the notebook. I realized that there might be something beyond cognition. Existence"

"Hey why did I write these sentences?"

"It seems that there is some mysterious power that makes me forget its existence. Even if I use a pen, I want to remind myself to remember it."

「」

Su Lun got goosebumps when he saw these words.

This was not the first time that he realized that he had forgotten something.

On the next page, there is a final inexplicable sentence: "The strength of the Daru tribe may not have been enough to stop the powerful deep-sea giant. Is there a 'third-party force' involved?"

Su Lun immediately realized that something happened in the "time mystery" that he had forgotten.

"Third-party forces? What did I see in space before that led me to this conclusion?"

Su Lun's expression became very strange.

Before he was forgotten by that mysterious power, he quickly recorded his current thoughts in his notebook.

The power of forgetfulness does not seem to be a threat to me, but I cannot resist it.

It seems that "it" doesn't want to be remembered or realized that it exists.

After thinking about it for a long time, Su Lun closed the notes

The moment he closed the note, Su Lun's frown completely relaxed, as if he had completely ignored the note.

He patted his head and seemed lost for a moment: "Hey, what did I want to do just now? Oh, by the way, contact Yuta"

Thinking of this, he took out his communicator and asked: "Yota, where are you?"
