Vol 2 Chapter 2399: Shadow Demon

Chapter 2399 Shadow Demon
After listening to Angel's simple and straightforward explanation, Nice and Kanter were silent.
"The information in the psychic band cannot be transmitted because the magical array has the effect of separating information between layers. I found the sub-control node of the magical array and temporarily turned off this partition effect."
This is Angel's explanation.
It sounds as if you are looking for someone at random, as long as you find the switch and press it, you can present the current situation. But Ness and Kanter are not stupid, and their rich experience is enough to let them understand the huge and complex of this magic array.
Angel's ability to find the sub-control node so quickly, and even to control it for a short time, is entirely a manifestation of his profound magic veins. For others, even some masters of the magic pattern, it is difficult to succeed. Because the mana formation of this base laboratory is not only magic lines, but also involves the category of mechanical alchemy. Only people who have a deep understanding of magic lines and are alchemists like Angel can do this. degree.
"Angel's growth rate is beyond my imagination." Kanter sighed.
"Yeah, such a good seedling, how could it be cheaper for Sanders in the first place." Nice said with jealousy.
Both of them didn't use the mind tie at this time, so Angel didn't hear their emotions either. But even if he heard it, he wouldn't care, Grea said this almost every day.
Angel is chatting with Reynolds about their current situation
Faced with Angel's concern, Reynolds was slightly moved. After all, the two wizards around him were a bit unreliable. So when Angel asked about their situation, Reynolds didn't hide it, and explained what happened after they were down to the second floor.
The situation on the second floor is roughly the same as that on the first floor. No one was encountered along the way, and the experimental center was also empty.
So, Nice is going to follow the routine on the first floor and go to the showroom first.
On the way to the showroom, they were attacked.
The attacker is a shadow demon.
As soon as the Shadow Demon appeared, he rushed towards Reynolds with his teeth and claws. Reynolds was invaded by the power of the Shadow Demon in a short time. In order to quickly save Reynolds, Kanter directly shot the Shadow Demon with a headshot.
This is where they had the previous dialogue in the soul tie.
"There was no one encountered along the way, the only one encountered was the attacker...Have you been discovered?" After listening, Angel asked.
This is actually the question in Nice's heart: "I also think it's a bit weird. Reynolds himself said that we didn't trigger the mechanism. But the Shadow Demon still appeared, and from its movement, it was a sneak attack. In other words. , It's ambushing us."
"We, shouldn't we have been discovered? Is it because the hunting sequence was triggered on the first floor?"
After Nis finished speaking, everyone's expressions were a little condensed, no one spoke, and the soul tie fell into a short silence.
After more than ten seconds, Kanter took the lead to break the silence and said: "It's just a guess at the moment, but I have an idea."
After a pause, Kanter continued: "Since Angel you are already at the sub-control node on the first floor, can you find out, have we touched the magic array?"
Nice's eyes lit up at this time, and what Kanter said was indeed a way.
Angel: "Yes, wait a minute."
Speaking of which, Angel originally contacted them, but also had a similar meaning. Their actions in the Magic Array may be a little constrained, and Angel can help them avoid danger to a certain extent by understanding the Magic Array.
After a while, Angel's voice resounded in the mind band: "No, you didn't trigger the magic circle on the first floor. As for the second floor, I don't know... By the way, I was investigating the sub-control node just now. When I found an interesting block."
Nice: "What interesting block?"
Angel: "You'll find out later."
After speaking, Angel's voice disappeared from the soul tie. No matter what Nice called, Angel was not responding. It was obvious that Angel had blocked outside information.
Contacting Angel failed, Niss simply gave up, turned his head to look at Kanter: "What do you think of the Lord Ruye?"
Kanter: "After entering the laboratory, the only place that may trigger the magic circle is when you encounter the hunting sequence in the showroom on the first floor. Now that Angel has confirmed that the magic circle is not triggered on the first floor, then we may be discovered Sex, it shouldn't be great."
"Furthermore, Angel's confirmation also allows us to rule out an important point: there is no one on the first and second floors, and it should have nothing to do with our sneaking into the laboratory."
Nis also nodded, Kanter said, he also agreed: "But, how should the Shadow Demon explain?
Kanter: "As for why we encountered a sneak attack by the Shadow Demon here. My personal opinion is that the Shadow Demon may have been arranged here a long time ago. He was not for sneak attacks on us, but for... "
When Kanter said this, his eyes turned to Reynolds.
Niss seemed to have thought of something, and squinted his eyes: "I remember that after the Shadow Demon appeared before, he ignored other people at all, but went straight to Reynolds, right?"
When the Shadow Demon appeared, their positions were: Bone Armor Knight at the front, Reynolds second, and Nice and Kanter at the end.
It stands to reason that the Bone Armor Knight should be attacked by the Shadow Demon, but it bypassed the Bone Armor Knight directly and aimed at Reynolds.
If the Shadow Demon is to kill the energy body, the inside of the bone armor knight is also a soul, and it shouldn't be near and far. As for bullying and fearing hardship, this is not right. The weakest auras present are Nice and Kanter. These two did not release their breath from beginning to end. With the meager IQ and weak perception of the Shadow Demon, it wants to bully and fear hardship. It was Nice and Kanter, not Reynolds.
With this clarification, the goal of the Shadow Demon is very clear. It does not exist to attack other people, it is to deal with Reynolds.
Kanter: "Do you remember the abilities of Shadow Demon?"
Nice nodded.
The shadow demon can hide in the shadow of the creature, absorb the energy in the shadow to survive, and gradually invade the organism, and finally control the organism... until it replaces the organism.
But if the shadow demon invades the energy body, such as the soul, it does not need to wait too long, and directly achieves the effect of controlling the soul.
"In other words, once the Shadow Demon invades Reynolds' soul body, it means that it can control Reynolds."
"Its original intention was to control Reynolds' soul... Maybe it was to return to his physical body in the end, and then completely replace Reynolds."
Kan Feature nodded, agreeing with Nice's statement: "Moreover, this road is a public road on the second floor. Whether you go to the showroom or the third floor, you will pass through here. In other words, if Reynolds returns to the laboratory, Passing through this corridor. The Shadow Demon was arranged to ambush here, which makes sense."
Taken together, it is true that the Shadow Demons did not come for them, or they ambush Reynolds.
Of course, this is a guess. Moreover, to make this speculation reasonable and reasonable, there must be another premise: Reynolds has something special and is valued by those who manipulate Shadow Demons.
Otherwise, the opponent would not send such a precious shadow demon to ambush Reynolds.
As for Reynolds, is there anything special? some.
Kanter's contact with Reynolds is short, and may not be able to realize it, but Nice has experienced it several times: Reynolds has the "John's Counterattack" template.
Fortunately, the concept of mystery and mystery, except for prophecy wizards, most wizards will sneer at it, because it is too elusive to give a clear and traceable definition.
But in Reynolds, luck is like a constant talent, and it will show up from time to time.
If the man who manipulates the shadow demon knows that Reynolds has a "lucky" talent... No, it is not if, the other party must know. After all, Reynolds lived in the laboratory for decades.
Then, it made sense for him to deal with Reynolds.
No one will let such a lucky guy go. Even if he doesn't use it, it's not bad to put it at home as a mascot.
Including Nice too, he very much hopes to abduct Reynolds back to the Valley of Souls.
On the other hand, after listening to Nice and Kanter's analysis, Reynolds felt that it might actually be aimed at him. After all, based on his past experience, it is impossible for a Shadow Demon to appear here.
However, after thinking about it carefully, I feel wrong: "If you really ambushed me on the only way, the first floor will be fine."
Nice: "Why are you going back to the laboratory?"
"For the body."
"Where is your body?"
"On a deeper level."
Nice: "That's not enough. They may not be sure whether you will come back, but as long as you come back, they will definitely go to the deep level to find your physical body. It is normal to ambush you wherever you are. As for why you are not on the first floor, maybe It’s to relax your guard."
Kanter: "There's another possibility. They were planning to capture you on the first floor. The Shadow Demon on the second floor is just a surplus, just in case."
"As for who will arrest you on the first floor, isn't the answer already clear..."
Reynolds froze for a moment, and a graceful figure of a witch appeared in his mind, with a 0 engraved on one side and a 3 on the other.
Number 03.
Perhaps the person who was going to catch Reynolds was 03, but the appearance of Ferro and others dragged 03.
"Regardless of whether this guess is true or not, you must have been targeted by them." Kanter patted Reynolds on the shoulder, his eyes pitying.
Nice: "It's good to be targeted. I hope that on the next road, it's best to ambush a few more Shadow Demon."
"Okay, don't delay here, go to the showroom on the second floor."
Reynolds was placed between Nice and Kanter this time. During the journey, Reynolds's expression was still a little dazed: "The people in the laboratory know that I understand the internal route. If they really want to ambush me, they will not The route will also..."
"You are not important enough to let them change the internal route of the laboratory, don't worry, at most some people or monsters will be sent to track you." Nice said, he seemed eager to try the ambushers he might encounter later.
Unfortunately, all the way to the gate of the showroom on the second floor, they did not encounter other ambushers.
The shadow demon that Nis was thinking of did not appear again.
