Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 41: Racked the library

Seeing that the size of the monster is getting more and more exaggerated, and the escape is irreversible, Dean Mason's already old face seems to have lost three points of vitality.

He murmured to himself: "Herbert is a close friend of mine. I know that his research direction is the genetic fusion of void mother insects, and it will be very dangerous if it is distorted. So when I can't kill his mutant After that, I suspected that there would be uncontrollable mutations. That’s why I sealed Laboratory Zero to prevent anyone from entering. I also erased all his presence in the academy, just to prevent anyone from accessing that information. . I didn’t think about it, but it was still leaked.”

This seemed like he was talking to himself, but it seemed more like he wanted to explain the truth to these people in the Imperial Capital Investigation Team.

Su Lun could hear the deep helplessness and regret in these words.

In the academy, as the dean, he can keep anyone away.

But they could not stop the investigation team that came with the imperial order.

I thought I could avoid the trouble by bringing it in person, but I didn't want to be tricked secretly. From the beginning to the end, Major General Tatina and her team never told him the true purpose, but directly turned on the emergency device of the laboratory in secret.

Listening to Dean Mason’s words, at this moment, all the plot was completely clear.

It turns out that the old man never lied from beginning to end.

Su Lun also frowned and sighed in his heart: "Sure enough, when you prejudge someone as a bad person, all your thinking logic will help you supplement your brain. Look at his kindness. Disguise, watch his advice turn into hypocrisy”

He also felt that this time he had learned a lesson, and fortunately the problem was not too big.

That's it for now.

In other words, the "void invasion" that was bound to happen in the first place occurred.

Mafa and the others got the information and came directly to Laboratory Zero to release the monster. This was no different from the previous NPCs who released the monster.

Su Lun reorganized all the clues in his mind again, and thought: "However, at least I am not wrong. The 'master will' of this cursed space is Herbert. Although he was deformed into a monster, He still has good intentions. In the end, if we want to break this cursed space, we still have to find a way from this guy."

He was very confident in this judgment.

The encryption method of the notebook I saw on the fourth floor of the library is very special. Only by connecting words and patterns can the code be unlocked. If it is not the person, even someone who has read it may be able to write down the text, but it is absolutely impossible to write down all the details.

Furthermore, we have just identified some other information about the [Two-Way Insect]. It is obvious that we can dig deeper into the details.

When Su Lun thought about this, he felt that the "T11" area that Tatina kept mentioning seemed to be a key place.

However, he didn’t know enough about the structure of the underground laboratory, so blindly looking for it would be a big problem.

Su Lun looked at Mafa's group.

They have exactly the information they lack in their hands

The so-called "catastrophe" is nothing more than triggering the void invasion.

But for foreign adventurers like Su Lun, the problem is not big in the first place.

After all, this is a cursed space, and the world will not be destroyed or anything like that. So no matter what people like Mafa want to do, they can't change some facts that have happened in history. For example, the "Toxte Void Royal Alchemy Academy" has been destroyed.

Su Lun doesn’t know what the final outcome will be, but the space channel has been successfully blocked, which means that Dean Mason can at least get the bottom of it and fight the monster evenly.

The premise is that people like Mafa don’t do any harm.

At this moment, looking at the sudden appearance of the [Void Two-Way Insect], Mafa and the others were obviously confused.

Su Lun looked at their shocked expressions, obviously not knowing that there was such a terrifying monster here, nor did he expect that the "Void Invasion" was caused by them releasing this monster.

Now the truth is clear. The information in the hands of the head of the investigation team is the misleading information deliberately leaked out after "Herbert Hilbery" distorted it into something weird. There must be some misleading clues in it, so those who see it should deliberately avoid the academy.

But similarly, inductive clues must require "bait".

That's why Su Lun felt that there should be something tempting enough in the "T11 Experimental Area".

There are thousands of thoughts in my mind, and they pass by in reality in a blink of an eye.

The sketch-like [Void Two-Way Insect] condensed into the shape of a mud monster, and "black lines" around its body also flowed on the ground.

And a strange scene appeared.

Whenever those black caterpillar-like lines touch any object, that object will seem to have fallen into strong acid and be instantly melted, as if it was "eaten" by a monster.

Su Lun himself is proficient in the laws of space. He can clearly sense that the monster has "black hole"-like fluctuations in the laws of space, and even light is directly sucked into it. All objects did not disappear, but were reduced from a "three-dimensional" state to a "two-dimensional" state, turning into something like a painting, blending into the black lines on the monster's body.

The place where [Void Dichotomous Worm] appeared happened to be far away from the laboratory, where there happened to be more than a dozen slave adventurers snatching items. Before they had time to react, black lines appeared under their feet without warning, and then their feet seemed to be glued to the spot, unable to move at all. Then the whole person quickly became shorter, and the whole person "melted" starting from the legs.

They were still alive and struggling hard, but their feet seemed to be stuck in the quagmire. The more they struggled, the deeper they sank, and they could only watch their bodies disappear.

These people had never seen such a terrifying scene. Although they did not feel any pain, they all screamed in terror.

"Help! I don't want to kill!"

"Major General, please help me!"

"Which of you will kill this monster quickly and save"

""

Before he finished speaking, the dozen or so people had completely disappeared.

The black line was still spreading, and the slaves not far away quickly dropped what they were holding, and while retreating violently, they raised their guns and fired at the monster in a burst of "bursts". Someone even sent an individual rocket over.

However, an even more terrifying scene appeared that sent chills down the spine.

The countless bullets and rockets flew past, but stopped abruptly the moment they touched the monster's body.

Such a large amount of water will at least cause a splash, but hitting the monster, not to mention blood stains, except for a few more black spots, did not cause any damage.

There were sounds of bullets coming out of the barrel and bullets rubbing the air, but no echo was heard. This monster's ability was full of weirdness.

Seeing this scene, Su Lun quietly hid far away, but reassessed the risk in his heart: "This [two-dimensional force of the void] is really unexplainable, and if you are infected, you will almost certainly die."

The Eye of Omniscient observed every detail of the monster, and came to the conclusion that as long as the laws of space are not higher than it, once it is contaminated by dimensionality reduction, there is no way to survive.

Fortunately, the spread speed of the "black line" is not too fast, which can be regarded as a shortcoming.

But isn’t this confined space just the killing ground for this monster?

Su Lun is not panicking, because those guys in Mafa are definitely more panicked than him

This weirdness was revealed a little bit, and Mafa and the mechanical warriors were confused. They had just used the [Particle Energy Arc Gun] to disperse the energy particles in the laboratory, in order to prevent the magic spells from condensing and allowing the mechanical warriors to maximize their combat power.

It's better now, all physical attacks seem to be useless against monsters.

But it seems that this monster takes damage from the magic system.

Moreover, the door to the laboratory was closed by them.

This kind of emergency door closes easily, but it takes time to open it.

But fortunately, Dean Mason is powerful enough.

Perhaps he felt that this was a member of the Imperial Capital Investigation Team. Even if he made a mistake, now is not the time to pursue him.

He ignored the previous suspicion and stopped blaming the consciousness of Mafa and the others. He pinched the sorcerer seal, but then frowned slightly.

The technique that originally came out in one shot was now frozen for two seconds. It was obviously affected by the [Particle Gun].

But fortunately it was released.

"Mysterious Void Cube!"

The moment the nine-pointed star formation under the old man's feet lit up, a translucent cubic space barrier appeared in his hand, covering the monster inside.

The Warlock Seal changed again, and he pushed forward with the cross-flower seal on both hands: "Secret Technique: Space Turbulence Strangulation Technique!"

Looking again, the mud-like [Void Two-Dimensional Insect] was trapped on the spot, and its body was torn into pieces by the countless space cracks that appeared, like lumps of broken meat falling on the ground.

Killed?

No, apparently not.

The moment he took action, the old dean seemed to already know the outcome, and shouted anxiously to the members of the investigation team: "This monster is more powerful than it was a few years ago, and it is impossible to kill. You think of a way to leave quickly! If you can Go out and report the situation here to the empire truthfully!"

If nothing else, this old man can distinguish between public and private affairs, which is really admirable.

Su Lun looked at these two space spells that were originally at least eighth level, and exclaimed in his heart: "So strong!"

The first technique is the advanced technique of [Void Confinement] that Su Lun is currently learning. Once controlled, it is almost impossible to escape; and the second space turbulence is probably equivalent to using a black scythe. One hundred and eighty cuts were made in succession. One control and one kill, this combination of spells can definitely kill most professionals of the same level instantly.

The combat effectiveness of top spatial ability professionals is truly terrifying.

As soon as the old man said this, he saw that the [Void Two-Way Insect] that had just been chopped into pieces condensed into the form of a mud monster again. At the same time, before the door of the laboratory was opened, frightened calls for help came from the crowd again, "Be careful where you step, the monster is coming!"

After this voice, everyone saw that the black line had appeared at everyone's feet.

This time, dozens of slaves and more than a dozen mechanical warriors were "glued" to the spot by black threads.

The power of the mechanical armor is so great, but there is still nothing that can be done about it. They could only watch helplessly as they were swallowed up by the monster, and others did not dare to pull it. Even if a mechanical arm ejected and grabbed it, it had no effect at all.

The guns on the armor of these trapped mechanical warriors were fired at the monsters, but still had no effect at all.

The advantages of the mechanical armor were not used at all. The dimensionality reduction ability directly bypassed the thick armor and killed them all.

The only one left alive is a very decisive slave. Seeing his feet sinking into the black line, he raised the knife with his hand and cut off his feet at the knee level. Then he took off with the help of his winged suit, and then he recovered half of his life.

Su Lun looked at it with a solemn expression. Although he discovered the spatial fluctuations a moment in advance, he had to admit that the attack of the [Two-Way Insect] was very concealed. If it really covered the floor of the laboratory, everything would be lost. Everyone must die.

Now those in Marfa are also aware of this. They put away physical attack methods such as guns and ship-cutting knives, and activated the magic energy devices on the armor.

For a time, fire, frost, lightning and various elemental attacks were directed at the monster. Colorful lights flashed in the laboratory, like a boiling elemental magic hair pot.

Su Lun watched the heavy emergency door of the laboratory slowly open. He originally planned to teleport out among the crowd, but when he saw from the corner of his eye, Major General Tatina, who was already fully armored, had not left. .

Even at this critical moment, she still shouted at the old dean: "Your Excellency, please give me authority, and I will find a way to prevent this disaster!"

Although his tone was much more polite than before, he still insisted on the "authority".

Su Lun's eyes narrowed when she heard this, not knowing her intention.

But anyway, what the enemy wants to do is what he wants to stop.

When the old dean heard this, a flash of thought flashed in his eyes, but he seemed to make an immediate decision.

He had to hold back this [Two-Dimensional Insect] and couldn't free his hands at all. It was just right to have people from the "Investigation Team" to help, so he responded decisively: "Okay, take it, remember to turn off the introversion first. Void passages must not allow void monsters to invade the plane!"

As he spoke, the old man threw an item.

[The forbidden clockwork of the void passage]

Detailed explanation: The key that can control the restriction of the void passage requires special permission to use. By twisting the alchemical hair, the space within the range will be reinforced, unable to be affected by space fluctuations, immune to space cracks, teleporting close, and able to pass through various restrictions on plane passages. The method of use is as follows. Inject spiritual power and twist clockwise, which requires a lot of spiritual power and time;

"Key? Turns out this is the key!"

Su Lun's pupils shrank suddenly when he saw him taking out something.

He immediately identified what it was and shouted: "Don't give it to them!"

Although Su Lun didn't want to be exposed at this juncture, he teleported over decisively.

And he also knew that without shouting, it would be impossible to steal something in front of such a top space professional!

Sure enough, when Dean Mason heard Su Lun's words, he grabbed the void and the thrown object reappeared in his hand.

The old man looked at Su Lun who suddenly appeared in surprise, obviously recognizing him as the secret investigator who went to the fourth floor of the library. But I am also very confused, why are the people in the investigation team fighting among themselves?

Major General Tatina felt happy when she saw what she had already obtained. As long as she could get that thing, not only could she save her life, she might even have a chance to break this cursed space.

Even if it doesn’t work this time, it can work next time!

But looking at a stranger who suddenly came out, Tatina's heart sank suddenly, and her voice trembled a little when she shouted, "Who are you?!"

The adventure group is all members of the North Sea Fleet and slaves, and they will never show up to cause trouble at this juncture.

The only possibility is a spy from a hostile force. Moreover, looking at the [Teleport] ability, she immediately thought of an old acquaintance who made her gnash her teeth. Naturally, it was the hateful guy who intercepted the submarine!

While speaking, the red whip in her hand swung over, and the whip struck the air with a "snap".

If Su Lun hadn't reacted quickly enough, this whip might have killed half of his life.

Some words that are beyond the knowledge of the cursed space NPC will be automatically blocked. Su Lun did not hesitate and shouted directly to Dean Mason at a very fast speed: "They intercepted and killed Captain Markle and wanted to destroy the position." Face passage!"

As soon as these words came out, all the plans of Mafa and his group were shattered.

Markel is the previous NPC leader. It is a fact that they intercepted and killed him. It cannot be explained at this juncture.

Moreover, the previous actions of releasing monsters had given the old dean a very bad impression.

Mafa and the others are desperate. Now they not only have to face the monster, but also the old dean. They have no chance of winning anyway.

But now the void invasion has just begun, and the monsters are not too dense. If they give it a try, they may be able to find other opportunities to get out alive.

Major General Tatina was also extremely decisive and yelled angrily: "Damn it, let's leave quickly!"

As long as you can survive, you can almost break this cursed space next time you come in.

As he said that, a group of mechanical warriors filed out.

As soon as they exited, there was a huge explosion in the passage, and the air wave shook the sky, leaving no chance for anyone to follow them out.

Even the lab door that had been opened was immediately closed again.

Su Lun had already predicted that these people would never let him leave the laboratory safely.

But now that they are exposed, he will never let these people live.

Besides, he still needs the information in the hands of those people

At the beginning of the void invasion, a large amount of void energy poured into the plane channel, just like a flash flood exceeding the safety line of the reservoir, and the space channel gradually became unstable.

However, it is also a good thing for professionals who have mastered spatial abilities.

At this moment, Dean Mason's spellcasting efficiency was obviously much higher. He trapped the [two-dimensional insect] many times and strangled it into pieces, but he still couldn't kill it.

Su Lun also asked the same question, "Can you give me the key?"

Dean Mason had a sullen face and did not respond. These members of the Imperial City Investigation Team had completely lost his trust. He just said: "I can no longer seal it again. This time it brings disaster, which will probably be very bad."

Su Lun guessed what he was thinking and knew that the old man would never trust anyone easily again. Without hesitation, he just said: "Take care, Mr. Dean!"

As he spoke, he took out the chessboard and placed it on the permission identification restriction that had been identified long ago.

The next moment, the sealed laboratory door slowly opened.

While the laboratory door was not fully open, Su Lun’s Warlock Seal pinched it, and a black hole quickly formed in his hand. He sternly shouted at the group of slaves who had not had time to escape: “If you want to survive, go in! ”

These war slaves are not very evil people, and they are not weak in strength. Many people in the Dawn Regiment have this status.

Su Lun thought he could help, so he did.

Those slaves obviously had little trust in a stranger, and poking a black hole with bare hands was too unbelievable to normal people.

Another group of three to five hundred slaves alive rushed out of the laboratory door. Only half of them looked at Su Lun and rushed into the small void world.

At least they could tell that the blade in front of them was not the one who forcibly sent them in to die in the North Sea Fleet.

After putting away these people, Su Lun rushed out towards the passage outside the laboratory without any further hesitation.

He was not in a hurry to negotiate with the old man.

Judging from the information obtained from the North Sea Fleet's previous excavations of other cursed spaces, the dean persisted in the plane passage for at least three days, and it is impossible to lose in a short time.

Now the old man's combat power is still at its peak, and so is the monster.

Even if you want to participate in a Bo-SS fight, you have to wait until both parties are exhausted before you can take advantage.

Before that, Su Lun decided to collect the "guaranteed harvest" from this visit to the cursed space

The group of slaves who ran out followed the passage they came from before, and explosions were heard one after another in the passage.

When the Marfa guys retreated, they also deployed booby traps, which also caused heavy casualties to those who went out behind.

However, Su Lun had no impact. His space ability has been greatly improved, and he teleported all the way out of Laboratory Zero.

When we came to the ground, the place was already a mass battle.

Countless void monsters emerge from the depths of the plane passage.

Various void bugs as small as mosquitoes, as large as void bats with a wingspan of several hundred meters, as well as void eyes, voids

They gathered together, like locusts passing through the border, hundreds of millions of them densely packed into the eyes.

This was the first time Su Lun had seen such a terrifying wave of monsters, and his scalp was numb.

The teachers and students in the space passage have already begun to block the attack. There are various defensive restrictions in the passage. There are also high-power alchemy towers and magic turrets prepared in advance in the laboratories to prevent monster invasion.

At the first moment of the "Void Invasion", various powerful alchemical equipment were activated, and various high-level spells were thrown into the void as if they were free.

Boom, boom, boom

A wave of energy erupted from the monster group, and corpses fell like a rainstorm.

But even so, the number of void monsters not only did not decrease at all, but became more and more.

As soon as Su Lun came out, hundreds of [Void Scythe Mantis] swarmed around him. These mantises, which are only half a meter tall, may not even have the energy fluctuations of a first-order monster, but their numbers are astonishing. The Void Zerg with these talents can flash in the void, and their attack methods are also hard to guard against.

Su Lun untied the eight-armed spider spear, chopped with the black sickle in his hand, and cut the silk thread to harvest these insects in pieces.

The defense of these low-level void creatures is very weak, almost like paper, and they are very easy to kill. But their attacks were equally sharp. Su Lun arranged the puppet dolls around his body and after just a few battles, they were cut into pieces of rotten wood by the sharp void scythes of those insects.

The tide of monsters has arrived, and there are more and more high-level void monsters behind them.

Su Lun did not dare to delay at all. He rushed towards the small space door building on the fourth floor of the library.

On the way, I also saw Mafa's group of mechanical warriors forming a charge formation and rushing towards the exit.

Because they have very strong firepower and extremely fast speed.

Seeing this, Su Lun understood why Princess Stika was willing to send her mechanical warrior guards in.

Punishment for losing a battle is one;

There is another more important reason, that is, compared with traditional professionals, mechanical warriors have very small fluctuations in their ranks and are less likely to cause space cracks.

Now that the void is invading, the space passage is very unstable.

The huge energy fluctuations that high-level professionals fight will lead to cracks more and more easily.

The physical attacks of the vast majority of mechanical warriors are driven by steam boilers. Their physical energy is very small, and the probability of triggering cracks at certain legal levels is much smaller; and their artillery explodes remotely, even if the energy exceeds The load triggered spatial cracks and could not damage the mecha itself.

But Su Lun doesn't think these guys can escape.

Because the college’s emergency plan is that once the void invades, the exit will be sealed immediately!

Thinking of this, Su Lun ignored people like Mafa for the time being.

The combat effectiveness of the mechanical warriors of the Marfa Royal Legion is not just for show. Originally, Su Lun alone could not do anything to them. Even if all members of the Dawn Regiment are dispatched, it will be difficult to defeat this mechanical army in a head-on confrontation, or at least they will suffer a lot of losses.

Now there are endless void monsters to help consume it, which saves Su Lun's effort.

Just wait until they run out of ammunition and come back later to get some bargains.

Su Lun rushed all the way and soon arrived on the balcony of the previous small building.

He took out the chessboard, opened the space door smoothly, and then stepped into the fourth floor of the luxuriously decorated library.

Looking at the dazzling array of precious books and treasures, Su Lun’s eyes flashed.

I didn’t dare to put it into my pocket before because I was afraid that others would stop me. Now that the dean is trapped in Laboratory Zero, and the administrators and others are fighting outside, probably no one can stop him.

Thinking about it, he raised his hand and released dozens of Dawn members who had already prepared empty storage rings. Everyone helped together and quickly collected the treasures on the fourth floor of the library.

With these things in hand, even if there is no other gain, the risk of entering the cursed space is worth it.
