Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 399: Lab Zero

First draft, please refresh later. When Su Lun saw the space door on the fourth floor of the library, his thoughts became active again.

The information we received before is that once you enter the T-level test area, you will not be able to get out.

Because it is a plane passage, the space energy fluctuations are very strong. In order to prevent distortion and prevent people entering and leaving from bringing alien biological viruses to contaminate the college, there are also "isolation" measures in and out. People who enter cannot be immediately When you come out, you will undergo a set of tedious procedures. This process will probably last a whole day. But a "void invasion" will break out in half a day, and then in order to prevent the void from invading the real world on a large scale, the higher-ups of the guild will order the exit channels to be blocked immediately. Therefore, no matter how strong a professional is, he will definitely die when facing the endless tide of monsters.

But now that there was a "back door", Su Lun immediately began to evaluate the feasibility of this channel.

Judging from the current situation, unless we find more clues than what is in front of us. Otherwise, even if he comes in next time, he will still have to consider taking this path to enter the "T-level experimental area", and he will also face the decision of whether to take risks.

Su Lun guessed that this space passage on the fourth floor of the library might be the way for dean-level figures to enter the experimental area. This is a stable space door, which means it will not be closed due to blockade. There is a high probability that you will still be able to enter and exit the test area when the space is blocked.

Although there are still considerable risks.

But after entering, you actually have more choices.

The reason why it is a "T-level area" is because this cursed space has not been cracked.

If the "Herbert Silber" found in "Lab Zero" completes his obsession, he may be able to break the cursed space directly, and there is no need to consider using the original method to stay for three days. , leave the cursed space again.

Just like the original "The Hunchback of Notre Dame".

In fact, this type of plot-oriented cursed space has a hidden condition, that is, the will of this space will also help you get rid of your obsession, and it can also be freed from that ten-thousand-year obsession.

The obsession of "Herbert Hilber" is probably that the investigation team will find out the truth and clear his name.

Judging from the current situation, since his obsession can form a cursed space, it means that he has not completely turned into a monster, and he still has human kindness.

Su Lun felt that he now knew the truth of that year, which was roughly equivalent to getting the "key to customs clearance". He just needed to find the right keyhole to open it.

If that doesn't work, there is one last universal solution, which is to kill the wave of SS and go out. Although the risk is certainly high, at least

Of course, the premise is that he must first find the body of Herbert

"So, this is the current situation, what do you think?"

Su Lun explained the situation he had guessed in the simplest terms, and discussed it with Senjou and others in the small void world.

Su Lun is not alone now, there is a "think tank" behind him.

Everyone in the Dawn Group had actually been using the intelligence to evaluate the possibility of exploration. They brainstormed and took into account almost any overlooked detail.

After everyone discussed it, they immediately agreed with Su Lun’s idea.

Dr. Banks first expressed his opinion, saying: "The theory of 'gene bridging' that you found in your notes before is very similar to a research topic I had envisioned before, but because no suitable materials were found, , the progress of the project is very slow. If possible, I would like to get the detailed theoretical report and experimental data of Herbert's research project. Once this project is completed, it will not only be used for void creatures, but also for any other alien creatures in the future. Bleeding Vein Transformation Potion. Dragon Bloodline Potion, Titan Bloodline Potion, and Behemoth can theoretically be successfully transformed."

Alchemists are good at using foreign objects to enhance their own bodies. Clothing, employment materials, and blood potions have been the three main ways for alchemists to enhance themselves since ancient times. In the modern era, there is an additional machine.

Dr. Banks previously led a group in Old Town to successfully develop the "X serum" using the blood of fallen angels, and has conducted very in-depth research in the biological field.

So when the [Void Gene Potion] was mentioned, he showed great interest.

Although scientists don't like fighting, they will never tolerate scientific exploration, even if it involves taking risks.

These words also made Su Lun and everyone in the Dawn Group more determined. Not to mention that they originally had a need for this [Void Gene Potion]. If this project is really done by Dr. Banks, a group of "giants" will be created in the future. "Dragon Bloodline Warrior" and "Behemoth Bloodline Warrior" don't sound good?

Exploring the cursed space is an adventure, and the process is like opening a blind box, there must be treasures. There must be a lot of advanced void breeding equipment and materials in the T-level test area, which are simply impossible to obtain in the outside world, and the opportunity is rare.

The greater the risk, the higher the level of the treasure.

If you don't go, this thing will fall into the hands of the North Sea Fleet sooner or later.

The Dawn Group is now an adventure group, and no one thinks there is anything wrong with Su Lun's plan. Instead, they felt that because of his "little void world", they could explore such a rare cursed space with minimal risk. They were all very excited and always ready to go out and fight.

Qiantiao: "Agree!"

Barrett: "Agree!"

After several bosses expressed their opinions, others naturally had no opinions

Because the North Sea Fleet has explored it many times before, the information is actually rich enough. For example, there will be some void monsters, and the monsters have some abilities, characteristics, and weaknesses, and all have detailed information.

In the small void world, everyone in the Dawn Regiment is discussing and evaluating the possible situations they may encounter and planning strategies.

Su Lun had already jumped up and appeared behind the space door from the fourth floor of the library.

This was a small balcony. He stepped on the floor, gravity returned to normal, and the space door behind him disappeared.

Su Lun tried it again with the chessboard, and he could still open it normally, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

At least there is still a way out.

Looking around, the architectural pattern of this laboratory area is very strange, and it was identified as [inside the void plane passage].

Similar to what you see outside, the internal structure of this channel is also an elliptical barrel channel with a diameter of one kilometer and a length of several kilometers. Those buildings with white spherical domes are built on the inside of the cylinder wall. What's amazing is that the buildings above our heads are hanging upside down, and pedestrians are walking on the streets.

Su Lun guessed that the gravity here should be towards the ground.

The void energy here is obviously several times richer than before, and from the end of the dark void, rich energy like cold wind is constantly leaking out. There is a city wall-like building in the direction of the entrance of the other one, and several alchemy airships are stationed there, which are the means of transportation in and out of the passage.

"Is that an alien plane?"

Su Lun glanced at the end of the void, and he could be considered to have seen the scene of an alien plane.

He glanced around and took in the layout of the space.

The buildings here are all laboratories. If you look at them casually, you can see the existence of advanced space folding enchantments everywhere. The indoor space of these buildings is much larger than what you see, and the buildings themselves are even the pillars that maintain the space boundary.

Su Lun walked on the street. There were not many pedestrians, most of them were in a hurry. Only the instructors and senior students of the academy can stay in the experimental area, where they practice and research experimental projects. No need to guess, there must be a lot of good stuff in these laboratories.

However, Su Lun has no intention of hunting for treasure for the time being. He wants to get to "Laboratory Zero" as soon as possible.

Because he was wearing the uniform of an Imperial City investigator (visible), no one came up to ask anything.

Fortunately, there are house numbers on the labs.

#2335、#2001、#1993

As Su Lun walked over, the house numbers were irregular, but the closer he got to the endless void, the smaller the house numbers were and the rarer the buildings.

He looked at the few lonely buildings in the distance with a slightly solemn expression.

If a monster invasion really breaks out, those front row buildings will definitely bear the brunt.

#019, #013

Su Lun walked over, and the house number became smaller and smaller.

Every hundred meters he walked, the rich space energy became a few steps thicker, and his breathing felt a little stagnant. Moreover, most of the laboratory doors have signs that say "Dangerous experimental items are contained, please do not enter unless you are the first person to enter."

Su Lun circled the oval street for more than half a circle. He had not yet found Laboratory Zero, but he came across a group of people arguing about something.

Although he changed his attire, Su Lun still recognized at a glance that it was Mafa's group of mechanical warriors, and the leader was naturally the "Major General Tatina".

"Are these guys here too?"

Su Lun thought that he had been delayed in the library for several hours before, so it was not surprising that these people could be found.

There is no need to look for it, that sealed building is probably Laboratory Zero.

Not seeing the NPC leader of the investigation team, he also guessed that the guy was most likely controlled by people like Mafa. People like Marfa may also have some clues about "Herbert Hilber", pointing to this Laboratory Zero

Su Lun looked at it and saw that hundreds of the more than a thousand people who had entered the cursed space were here.

Think about it, he quietly blended into the crowd.

An old white-bearded deputy dean of Void Academy was still arguing with Major General Tatina.

"Laboratory Zero was once the college's research laboratory for the most dangerous projects, and you are not allowed to enter."

"We are the Imperial City Investigation Team and have the right to investigate and evaluate anywhere in the academy!"

"Your Excellency Tatina, it's not that our college deliberately obstructed your investigation, but 'Lab Zero' has been permanently closed. There was a major experimental accident inside, and no one who entered it survived. .You”

"Open the seal immediately and cooperate with our investigation. If any accident occurs, I will bear the responsibility!"

""

Major General Tatina's attitude shows the particularly toughness of professional soldiers.

Besides, she is now the acting leader of the adventure group, which is a very useful identity.

The white-bearded vice president seemed helpless, but still had no intention of opening the laboratory seal.

Su Lun listened silently the whole time. Having these people solve the entrance problem for him also saved him a lot of trouble.

But looking at the situation, it doesn’t seem to be easy to get in.

Are we going to attack by force?

Su Lun doesn’t think people like Marfa have that ability. The NPCs in this experimental area have extraordinary combat power. Even the deputy dean is enough to give these people a drink.

And just when he thought things were about to reach a stalemate, suddenly, a figure appeared beside the vice-president without warning.

It was an old man with a tea beard wearing a magic cloak with red stripes on a black background and glasses. He had a kind face and wise eyes.

Su Lun felt the very slight fluctuation of the law of space, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Space displacement?"

This kind old man is none other than the dean of the Void Academy, "Void Walker" Hector P. Mason.

He appeared in front of everyone and said calmly: "'Laboratory Zero' is indeed too dangerous. Since Captain Tatina must insist on going in to find out what's going on. Let me take you in."

When Su Lun heard this, instead of feeling relieved, his eyes became solemn.

After reading that note, he kept thinking about another question.

That is, "Herbert Hilbery" was already the deputy dean at the time. Even if he was transformed into a monster, his academic achievements would never be easily erased.

But the fact is that he didn't even leave his name in the academy.

This also shows that his enemy status in the academic circle is very high.

Obviously, the former deputy dean who was a contemporary of Herbert and now the dean has serious suspicions.

Herbert issued a warning to the upper echelons of the empire more than ten years ago, but someone within the academy deliberately obstructed it.

Now that the investigation team is here, will those who obstructed them let them dig out the truth?

Major General Tatina did not know what was going on back then.

She saw that the dean was willing to lead the way. Although she felt something was inappropriate in her gut, she nodded in agreement: "Then I'll bother Dean Mason."

Su Lun wasn’t too surprised when he heard this. It can be seen from their choice to enter this "T-level experimental area" that these people may have received the death order from Princess Frost Moon. This time they must investigate some progress of the cursed space.

Dean Mason didn't say much. The double magician's seal changed quickly, and he completed an extremely complex magician's seal in an instant. The moment the nine-pointed star formation under his feet lit up, a huge void energy suddenly surged from his body, and he shouted softly: "Seal, release!"

This was the first time Su Lun saw such a complicated space technique, and his eyes were dazzled. After careful observation, I found that I couldn't understand and couldn't learn, so I gave up.

But he has already made an assessment in his mind. Although this old man is only at the seventh level, his actual combat ability is unfathomable.

At least outsiders like Su Lun want to kill him, it is absolutely impossible!

Without any further thought, the purple-black luster dissipated, and a jelly-like translucent barrier suddenly formed outside the building in the distance.

Dean Mason still had a tepid tone and said to everyone: "Sorry, it is too dangerous in Laboratory Zero, so the barrier cannot be fully opened. Please come with me."

As he spoke, he took the lead and stepped into the barrier.

The lieutenants around Major General Tatina took the lead and followed her, and then she walked in.

Then there are the one or two hundred mechanical warriors and hundreds of slaves.

Su Lun watched the crowd filing into the barrier, thoughts flashing through his mind quickly, and he quickly made a decision.

He also followed.

Because he also saw just now that this space barrier also uses the same "authority identification" as in the previous library. This means that it would be reckless if this seal could not trap him

As soon as Su Lun entered the barrier, he immediately sensed the intricate underground structure of Laboratory Zero. Those cobweb-like corridors and small rooms extend hundreds of meters underground.

Probably because it is abandoned, there is no light here. Everyone could only use the magic lamps in their hands to illuminate the cement tunnel. The narrow and deep corridor gives people a spine-chilling feeling.

The queue of several hundred people was very long. Su Lun was among the crowd, always paying careful attention to his surroundings. He saw some strange marks on the wall, like scratches made by someone's fingernails.

While walking, Major General Tatina's voice came from the front of the team, "Dean Mason, can you tell me what happened in Laboratory Zero?"

The sound echoed in the dark underground corridor, and Su Lun also listened.

He was also curious about what happened after that "Herbert Hilber" came here.

As soon as these words came out, Dean Mason let out a long sigh, and he responded: "This can also be regarded as a scandal in the college. At first, a researcher who was eager for quick success and quick success privately conducted a taboo experiment, and then it became abnormal. Void monster. That disaster resulted in the death of more than a hundred outstanding teachers and students in the laboratory, and there was also the possibility of serious contamination leaking. Therefore, the college closed the laboratory."

"That 'Herbert Hilber'?"

"Yes. In order to cover up the fact of his experiment, he also lied to the college about the 'void invasion' and wanted to close the space passage. But the fact is that the top management of the college organized seminars and conducted very careful investigations. There is no indication that that will happen."

""

This is the most appropriate thing to say to the investigation team.

But Su Lun became alert.

Su Lun looked at the plot happening here from the perspective of an outsider. He guessed that the "main will" of this cursed space was the "Herbert Silber".

So, that guy must not be dead now.

In this Research Institute Zero.

And Dean Mason was so kind in bringing them in for only one purpose, and that was to cover up the truth.

He didn't know that the "Void Invasion" would break out in ten minutes, so his normal thinking was to cover up if anyone came to investigate, and kill if anyone came to investigate.

Su Lun knew that what he did on the fourth floor of the library could not be hidden from this guy.

There is a high probability that the other party also guessed that he found some key clues.

The reason why he didn't take action was probably because he wanted to kill the "investigator" and silence him, and he also needed a legitimate excuse.

There is nothing more suitable than a laboratory that has experienced group-killing accidents. If a few people die, they can be directly blamed on the monsters.

As the situation deepened, Su Lun felt that it was time for this old guy to take action.

However, he was not too panicked.

Because this is not the real world after all, but a cursed space formed by resentment. Generally speaking, spatial will will help the development of the plot that restores the truth of the incident.

Su Lun felt that if he guessed correctly, if that Herbert was still alive, he would definitely intervene!

He and his Dawn Team couldn't defeat the dean, but Herbert definitely could.

Because this is "his" resentment space!

Only when two strong powers compete can they possibly benefit from it.

This is the most feasible plan after Su Lun and everyone in the Dawn Group painstakingly calculated various possibilities

Sure enough, the plot unfolded as Su Lun expected!

Just as the team gradually went deeper into the ground, suddenly, an exclamation sounded from the rear of the team.

"Captain, this is bad!"

"What's wrong?!"

"Some monster flashed past just now and killed Fred and others!"
