Vol 2 Chapter 2403: 23rd

Chapter 2403, No. 23
"So, in the eyes of the wizard of Nice, my soul is actually very fragile?" Authorized eyes slowly turned his head and stared at Nice.
Because you couldn't see Anger's expression through the eye of authority, Niss couldn't tell whether Anger was talking irony with emotion or really asking.
Nice thought for a while and said: "Your soul has a very special nature, and it can even be immune to a large part of the soul attack. But can this special ability really be controlled by yourself?"
Angel was silent, and the answer was clear.
Nis clicked on the speciality of Angel's soul for a moment, and then stopped saying more. After all, this involved some of the secrets of Angel and even Magic Island.
"Your soul has great potential, and perhaps it will become one of the foundations of your opponents in the future, but before that, what you need to do is to study it, take care of it, and avoid being attacked by soul-savvy people when you are fragile." Nice: "And the soul armed, may be able to your soul for a period of time."
Angel still didn't say a word, but he had a slight bias in his heart.
"So, when you go to the third floor showroom, you don't want to study the magic array, first pick one." Kanter suggested.
Angel groaned: "Soul Armament... needs more in-depth research."
Although Angel did not directly agree, his reply actually expressed his attitude. He didn't care about Soul Arming before, but now that he wants to study in depth, it means that he has also given birth to his mind.
Nice: "Of course, we must first study whether there are any drawbacks, otherwise I will not easily transplant. This is related to the soul."
Because I can see that Angel's description of soul weapons is changing. As a result, on the next journey, Nice and Kanter challenged Angel Cope with some types of transplantable organs that would not enter the internal circulation and were replaced by relatively simple transplantable organs.
As they were introduced along the way, they followed the direction of the magic pattern and came to a double-opening door.
"This time the sub-control node is straightforward. Don't you need to go to the death corridor?" Nice looked at the door.
Angel shook his head: "The magic pattern points here, but it should not be the end of the sub-control node."
Angel's point is that the sub-control node may be in other places, but instead of walking through the normal corridor, it is necessary to use this room as a transit to go to other places.
Nis nodded clearly. Instead of pushing the door directly in, he turned to look at Reynolds: "Do you know where it is?"
Reynolds seemed to recall something, his expression was a bit ugly, and after a long time he spoke: "Inside is... the medical center."
"Is there a mechanism?"
Reynolds: "No, you can go in by sliding the door."
"There is no institution, or a medical center. What is your face?" Niss didn't understand, he shook his head and opened the door with emotion.
After the door was opened, a large amount of white frost and mist filled out the same feeling as the showroom.
The cold breath pierced into the nasal cavity, prickling his head slightly.
After a long while, the air of frost and mist gradually dissipated, and everyone was stunned when they looked inside.
There are many people in it.
But they are not living people, but dead people who are soaked in pure cold liquid in nearly a hundred transparent glass columns.
These dead people were suspended in the cold liquid, all maintaining the state they had at the moment before death. Some of them died as human beings, but more often, some parts of the body changed and turned into terrible monsters. For example, some are covered with green mucus, some are covered with tentacles, some are swollen with blood spurting from the abdomen... etc. Ordinary people will be scared to get sick when they see the abnormal appearance.
And these dead people immersed in the glass pillars have a common feature. They all have X tattoos on the left side of their faces, and the numbers on the right are random. Some are hundreds, some are ten, and some are...ones.
Reynolds was standing next to a corpse with a single-digit right face.
Her serial number is X7, and she maintains a human shape as a whole, and she looks quite mature and gorgeous, at least in line with the taste of Nice to choose women. But she was severed from the waist down and disappeared.
"...She is'Ying'. When we were on a mission to clean up defectors, she died with the defectors, and I... survived. She was brainwashed by the laboratory, but before she died It seems to wake up and tell me that I am envious of my name, and many people agree with the meaning of the name. She has a desire and wants to have a name that can be recognized, even if only for a second."
"So, at the moment before her death, I gave her the name "蕥". The meaning of this name is a flower spike that will wither before it blooms."
Reynolds lowered his head, as if he was talking, and as if he was murmuring: "Because of this, I am very keen to name my companions. Like the'tooth', 'Sickle','Rin', and the'song' I mentioned earlier, I took them for them according to their characteristics..."
When Reynolds said this, he obviously paused. He might want to say: However, they don't seem to agree.
There are very few awakened subjects like "蕥". Maybe others will awaken before death, but what's the use?
Everyone listened to Reynolds's narration. Although the story he told was not ups and downs, and it was not as miserable as imagined, it was as plain as a supporting role story in a novel. However, it made everyone understand something.
Why is Reynolds obsessed with wanting to eliminate the sequence mark of the soul body, and even willing to join Nausicaa to break into the laboratory to steal data?
Because what he wants to get back is himself.
This self is not just a name, but an "I" in an ideal sense.
Only when he finds "I" can he truly give up the past and embark on the road to the future to find the freedom he yearns for.
For him, this is more important than everything, even more than the value of life.
In this world, everyone has their own story, and the little people of the big era also have past. This is Reynolds's past. Even if everyone cannot empathize with Reynolds, they at least begin to understand his beliefs.
Because of Reynolds's account, the atmosphere was slightly silent.
It wasn't until a "click" sounded that everyone recovered.
When Reynolds raised his head, he found that Nice, Kanter and even the bone knight standing not far away were gone.
After a closer look, he found that Nice was moving fast beside a group of glass pillars, while Kanter was standing in the distance not knowing what he was doing.
A few seconds later, Nice stood still in front of a glass column.
Reynolds thought for a while and walked over.
"My lord, what happened?" Reynolds asked respectfully.
Nice pointed to the person floating in the glass pillar in front of him and asked, "Who is he?"
Reynolds looked up and found that there was a man with scorching on most of his body. At first glance, the situation was similar to the other glass pillars around, but if you look closely, you will find that the number sequence on this man's face is similar to other Is different.
Everyone else has an X on the left and numbers on the right. But his left face is 2 and his right face is 3.
"Serial number 23! How could it be him!" Reynolds: "He is here like this? Isn't he a doctor in the laboratory, why did he die here?"
"Dead?" Nice sneered: "This guy is not dead."
As Nis's voice fell, the man in front of him opened his eyes quickly, his muddy brown eyes staring at Nis.
"This glass column isolates the breath. I haven't noticed it for a while. I thought it was all dead. But this guy made some movement before, otherwise it would be really difficult for us to find him."
Nice's words, let Reynolds realize that the "click" just now came from the 23rd?
"Wow, wow – vomit –" the man number 23 said, he seemed to want to laugh and express frantically, but under the inflow of cold liquid in the glass column, not only "haha" laughter became "wow" , And was choked.
After a while, he was relieved.
He also learned to behave this time and didn't laugh, but the gloomy expression did not disappear: "No. 1, I didn't expect you to become a traitor too... You should behave like other goods. Here. This is where you belong."
Reynolds snorted: "It is you who are in the cage now. This is your home, not mine."
No. 23 stared at Reynolds with dark eyes: "It won't be long, you will come in too..."
On the 23rd, Reynolds suddenly had a bad feeling: "What do you mean?"
On the 23rd, a wicked smile was evoked: "What do you mean? You will know soon...JieJieJieJieJie..."
Reynolds turned his head to look at Nice with a worried face, but Nice didn't speak, as if waiting for something.
After about a few seconds, Kanter came over from a distance.
Kanter didn't use his mind tie to speak, and he said directly: "He should have activated a certain switch just now and wanted to send information to other people."
The "click" sound is the sound of the switch.
Now that he has been seen through, No. 23 has not concealed it. He covered his cough with a sore throat, and resisted the discomfort: "It doesn't matter if you know it. Soon, the law enforcement sequence and hunting sequence will come soon. , You'll be done by then, wow wow..."
"Is that so?" Nice sneered: "Unfortunately, your idea will soon be shattered. The law enforcement sequence should be your combatants. They all went to the lair. It seems that you don't know yet. This also includes The three official wizards in your laboratory, yes, 03 did not go, but he has been locked in a flame cage."
"As for the hunting sequence, those mechanical puppets that are not even qualified to tickle us, how can they withstand us? Of course, if you have enough authority, you may also know the first 5 hunting sequences, but they are in the control of the magic array. In the node, if it is not triggered, it will not appear actively."
The words of Nice made No. 23 stunned. He didn't know if what Nice said was true, but Nice could even point out the position of the top 5 hunting sequence. Perhaps it is more likely?
On the 23rd, the cold eyes stared at Nis. He is a doctor and a researcher in the medical center. He doesn't know much about the wizarding world of the Southern Territory, and he doesn't know Nis. But from the other party's calm demeanor and his disrespectful remarks towards No. 03, it can be known that the opponent's strength is not bad, maybe it can really match No. 03.
In other words, the opponent may be an official wizard.
Thinking of this, No. 23's expression is even more ugly, no matter if what he said is true or not, but an official wizard broke into the laboratory, this is definitely not a small accident!
"What you said is true or false, but even if they are not there, you can't escape. The noble, great, and invincible existence is still sleeping, as long as you confirm your threat, he will wake up and use the power of God Punish you!"
At the beginning of the 23rd, speaking was normal, but now it clearly smelled of madness, like a mad believer of the evil god.
However, his behavior stopped abruptly in Kanter's words.
Kanter: "The button for you to transmit information is under your feet. There is a magic pattern block connected there. It will bypass all the glass pillars and pass to the sub-control node through the white metal door behind. Let others notice this with the feedback from Magic Array, right?"
No. 23 was stunned and said: "How did you know?"
Kanter smiled slightly: "Of course...I know magic patterns. By the way, your message transmission has been cut off."
No. 23 shook his head sharply: "This is impossible!"
Kanter shrugged indifferently: "There is nothing impossible in this world. If you don't believe it, you can continue to step on the button under your feet and try."
No. 23 hesitated for a moment, and according to Kanter's statement, pressed the button under his feet, but as Kanter said... there was no reaction.
"Now you understand your situation. Alright, next, I will ask you to answer."
The 23rd wanted to refuse, but Kanter's eyes suddenly showed the pattern of the sun and the moon. The 23rd stared at the pattern, her eyes gradually blurred, and she was about to be hypnotized.
But when No. 23's thinking became rigid, he suddenly bit the tip of his tongue. As the blood on the tip of the tongue was filled in the cold liquid, it seemed to activate a certain switch, and a tadpole twisted pattern suddenly appeared on his eyebrows. After a burst of red light, No. 23 screamed and buried his head.
Everyone: "..."
Reynolds: "He seems to be dead."
Niss: "It doesn't seem to be, it is indeed dead. The symbol just now is the text of the world of Quest... Forcibly breaking hypnosis, but the price is death."
Kanter looked at the dead No. 23 and didn't say anything. He just turned his head and took a deep look at Reynolds: "The brainwashing in your laboratory is quite popular."
On the 23rd, he was obviously very sincere to the laboratory, and even committed suicide by force, and was unwilling to disclose any information.
This caused Kanter to have some doubts.
Since the brainwashing in this laboratory is so successful, can Reynolds really maintain his true self?
Of course, Kanter didn't doubt Reynolds. At least for now, Reynolds doesn't have too many doubts and no trace of brainwashing.
Kanter was thinking about another thing: Why didn't the laboratory brainwash Reynolds?
This goes back to the previous question. Two consecutive ambushes were all aimed at Reynolds.
Reynolds obviously has some special status in the eyes of the senior management of the laboratory.
Nice also thought of this. He didn't say it, but there was a thought in his heart. When he was negotiating with 03, Reynolds did not show his face from beginning to end. If Reynolds appears, maybe 03 will change to other ways to deal with it, instead of hiding in the core of Toolman.
However, whether Reynolds's face is good or bad is still unknown. But the current situation, at least in a controlled state.
While Nice was thinking this way, Kanter hurried out.
"We quickly find the three-tier sub-control node, otherwise we can't control it!" Kanter said quickly.
Nice dumbfounded: "Huh?" What do you mean?
Kanter: "How can information transmission be so easily cut off? Just now I suppressed the rate of information transmission according to Angel's words. But with my magic pattern level, this suppression will soon fail. I want to completely To solve the problem of information being transmitted to each layer, the sub-control node must be found immediately, and the block where the information is transmitted is controlled there!"
Nice slammed his heart, he naturally understood what Kanter meant. Once the information here is known to others, the consequences will be very serious!
Maybe the items in the showroom will be blocked, and his income will not be lost! Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the people in the laboratory may disconnect the attached corridor in order to catch the intruder. Then the third floor will become an isolated island with no entrance and exit. Can't leave! Unless the magic array is destroyed, how can such a super large magic array be so easy to destroy, and it is easy to be backlashed.
There is indeed only one way to quickly find the sub-control node and prevent the transmission of information!
