Vol 2 Chapter 2404: Mirror corridor

Chapter 2404 Mirror Corridor
After a while, they stood outside a corridor full of water.
This corridor was completely different from the corridor they had passed through before. The four walls were made of mercury-like substances, like square mirrors.
In such a corridor composed of mercury mirrors, there is a layer of veined water flowing.
Because of the mirror reflection, standing outside the corridor and looking inward, it seems to create an infinitely wide shallow pool, but in fact the size is similar to other corridors.
"Are you sure that the sub-control node of this layer is inside?" Nice asked.
"The source of all the energy of the magic veins points to the depths of this corridor." Angel's voice sounded in the soul tie, "If there is no other road, the sub-control node is inside."
Nice turned his head to look at Reynolds: "Have you been here?"
Reynolds shook his head blankly: "I have no idea that there is such a corridor on the third floor of the laboratory."
Niss sighed and said irritably: "You have been living here for decades."
Reynolds' expression was slightly embarrassed. He did live here for decades, but it doesn't mean that he has been to all places. What's more, they found this place and passed through a high serial numbered bathroom.
No one thought that there was a secret passage behind the high-sequence numbered bathroom.
It can be said that this area is unknown to most laboratory personnel and belongs to the hidden snow area.
Since he couldn't get help from Reynolds, Nis stopped looking at him, but asked in the psychic belt: "What should I say next, get inside?"
Anger nodded his head up and down while manipulating his authority eyes: "Time is running out. You must enter it as soon as possible to control the block of information transmission... Does the Wizard of Nice have any suggestions?"
Niss was a little bit murky: "I just think the water in this corridor is something wrong. Or, I let the bone knight go in and try?"
Angel: "There are also magic lines in the water, so you can't try it at will."
Nice: "That..."
Without waiting for Nice to hesitate, Kanter took a step forward slightly: "I'm still going in with Angel. After all, I know some magic patterns. The wizard of Nice doesn't know much about magic patterns."
Nice nodded immediately, he said so much, he just didn't want to go forward.
Angel himself didn't think about letting Nice follow, they just stay outside.
Kanter: "Shall we go directly in? Or, let's take another look?"
Angel: "Wait a minute."
Through the vision of the permission eye, Angel carefully explored the corridor in front. After all, he did not come in real body, and there is no premonition of danger, but from the dodge in Nice's eyes and Kanter's gradually solemn expression, it can be inferred that this corridor puts a lot of pressure on them, and this is also the wizard's danger to them. Early warning.
Because of this, Angel also put away his contempt and observed it carefully.
One minute, two minutes... Soon, ten minutes passed.
Kanter's expression became more severe, because the magic pattern in the medical center that delayed the transmission of information was arranged by him, and he could clearly perceive that the delay effect began to gradually fail. In no more than five minutes at most, the magic lines there will be invalid, and the message sent by the 23rd will reach all floors in an instant, and the magic array will be fully activated by then, which will be quite detrimental to them.
Although Kanter was anxious, he didn't dare to urge, after all, Angel was an expert in magic lines.
After another minute, Angel's voice finally rang in the soul tie: "Refracted, reflected, diffracted, scattered, and used light and shadow, mirrors, to create true and false magic patterns, layout this corridor The one who is very cautious."
Nice looked dumbfounded: "What are you talking about?"
Angel: "Nothing, Lord Kanter, you can go in. Be sure to follow my guidance and don't use subjective consciousness to make judgments."
Kanter didn't understand Angel's meaning at the beginning, until he stepped into the corridor and walked a few steps according to Angel's guidance, he gradually understood Angel's meaning.
For example, there should be a place where the magic patterns converge. From past experience observations, Kanter can judge the corresponding position by himself. However, Angel pointed to a very "crooked" point, which did not seem to be where the magic patterns converge.
Kanter hesitated again and again, and finally heeded Angel's words.
Everything went well, indicating that they were on the right track.
This makes Kanter a little puzzled, why did his judgment fail? After inquiring, Angel did not say directly, but motioned Kanter to look at the wall.
Mercury’s four walls are all mirrored, and the real magic pattern converging point is projected onto the wall through the mirror.
Kanter seems to be standing in a "crooked" position, but the ‘him’ projected on the wall is standing at the correct converging point of magic patterns.
To put it bluntly, the magic pattern here is the application of mirror and light.
If you are not familiar with this, you will easily walk according to normal logic, ignoring the external mirror and light factors, leading to wrong step and wrong step.
And Angel has been studying mirror space recently, and he has a relative understanding of light and mirror. Moreover, he has not forgotten the common sense of physics that Jon taught him. Even if some of the physical constants of this world are different from those of the earth, the characteristics of light are not much different.
It is precisely because of this knowledge that Angel was able to see through the secret orifice here in a short period of time and quickly crack the corridors.
With Angel’s explanation, Kanter was fully understood, and then he stopped judging the route according to his own experience at all. He listened to Angel’s command and walked deeper step by step...
When Angel and Kanter walked to the sub-control node, on the other side, Nice was thinking about the previous dialogue with No. 23.
Although they committed suicide on the 23rd, it does not mean that they did not get any information.
Among the information obtained, what makes Nis most concerned about is the sentence mentioned on the 23rd-"The noble, great, and invincible being is still asleep, as long as you confirm your threat, he will wake up, with the power of God Punish you!"
Judging from the state and mood at the time on the 23rd, he did not arrange this sentence temporarily.
In other words, what he said is likely to be true.
Once his message was transmitted, it might really lead to a sleeping powerhouse.
Who is this hidden ‘strong man’ who is prefixed with "Noble, Great, Invincible" on the 23rd?
Nice looked at Reynolds floating in the air and threw out the question.
Reynolds looked confused: "I don't know who the 23rd is talking about. Does the laboratory really exist?"
Niss: "How do I feel that you don't know if you ask three questions. I am very puzzled now, as far as your understanding of the laboratory is, how did you manage to escape with Nausicaa after breaking in?"
Reynolds scratched his head and didn't know how to answer. He was very familiar with the shift arrangement of the laboratory personnel, and could easily enter last time. However, this does not mean that Reynolds is familiar with all the secrets of the laboratory.
Reynolds hesitated: "In addition to hidden areas, there are some restricted areas. I am familiar with the first four floors, but I have never heard of any hidden powerhouses. I think the person mentioned on the 23rd exists, Maybe it’s hidden on the fifth floor?"
Reynolds on the fifth floor has only been there once, and it is a reservation for the first three sequences. Reynolds had a bigger daydream about it because of the lack of travel.
Reynolds: "Oh, yes. There is an assistant on the 23rd, the serial number is 91. I heard that it is his wife. I don’t know if it is true or not. But what I can confirm is that they often stay together on weekdays. Maybe she knows something."
Nice expressionlessly: "Then what do you think of this 91?"
Reynolds: "...I don't know."
Nice: "Then what is the difference between what you said and nonsense."
Nis gave Reynolds a white look, then ignored him, but continued to sink into thought.
Regarding the hidden existence, Nice actually had a guess: Would the 23rd say that the 00 is?
When talking with No. 03 outside, No. 03 has never denied the existence of No. 00.
However, due to the influence of Reynolds, they preconceived that even if 00 exists, it is not in the laboratory... After all, there have been situations in the laboratory for decades, and it is always the first three sequences that come out to solve the problem, 00 The number has never appeared, has been in the "legend", has not shown up.
Thinking about it now, No. 03 did not say that No. 00 has left. She just kept silent and didn't want to talk more.
Maybe number 00 is actually in the laboratory?
After all, on the 03rd, when they learned that they wanted to go inside the laboratory, they obviously showed agitation. Maybe they just think that they will touch 00 when they enter?
If 00 is really asleep somewhere in the laboratory, then their actions must be faster and they must be more cautious and secretive.
Find the information and leave the laboratory as soon as possible to avoid being locked in an urn and being treated as a turtle.
...
Three minutes after Kanter entered the mirror corridor, Nice got a message from Kanter from the psychic band: "The block of information transmission has been controlled. The message sent on the 23rd has been processed."
About ten minutes later, Kanter walked out of the mirror corridor with permission.
Nice quickly stepped forward and asked, "What's the situation inside?"
Kanter: "Nothing, it's almost the same as the previous sub-control node, it's pure magic pattern."
Nice: "Did Anger find anything?"
The reason why Nis asked Kanter about Anger's condition was because the eyes of the authority eye were closed at this time, and Anger in the psychic band was also silent. It was obvious that Anger had blocked outside information.
Kanter: "I didn't ask for details, but Angel said that he can already try to crack the position of the master node. He estimates that he is cracking it now."
"Let's go, let's go to the showroom on this floor first. According to Anger, the showroom on this floor can take two pieces. If it exceeds it, it will trigger an alert."
Nice nodded naturally. While searching for information, it was also good for him to obtain more exhibits. Even if no information is found, these exhibits can still be used to study soul weapons.
On the way back, Nis asked: "In the sub-control node, except for the magic pattern, is there nothing else? Is there a hunting sequence?"
Kan Feature nodded: "Yes, the hunting sequence numbered 3, sleeping inside."
Nice: "In this way, each sub-control node has a high-sequence mechanical puppet."
Kanter: "That's it."
The first layer is the hunting sequence numbered 5, the second layer is the hunting sequence numbered 4, and the third layer is the hunting sequence numbered 3. It is not difficult to deduct it according to this rule. The fourth layer may be numbered 2, and the fifth layer It is number 1.
But if we really proceed according to this rule, a problem will arise.
"Each layer of sub-control node has a hunting sequence, and as the number of layers increases, the sequence number increases, and the strength increases...If this continues, what about the master node?"
There are five sub-control nodes on the fifth floor, and the first five hunting sequences each guard one place.
The master node is obviously more important than the sub-control node. Will there be a "guardian" in the master node? Will it be the legendary 00?
Nice was faintly disturbed.
Kanter asked Nice not to think too much about it. Even if there is number 00, his strength should not exceed that of other sequences. At most, he is the second-level true wizard level. Kanter thinks he can still deal with it. Even at the level of Level 3 True Knowledge, Kanter felt there was a way... to escape.
Instead of worrying about 00, Kanter is more worried about the person Fero met who can blur his memory.
That existence may be the real hidden boss.
...
After a few minutes, they returned to the medical center.
I didn't stay in the medical center for too long because I was eager to find the sub-control node. Now that I have time, I can't skip it hastily.
Such medical centers must have some experimental records.
Finding the experimental record may be of great help to Nice's future research on soul weapons.
Because Reynolds was "born" in the medical center, he was very familiar with it. Under his leadership, Nice quickly found a stack of records.
The vast majority of them are medical records, and the remaining small part is related to experimental records, all about X-numbered experimental subjects, and related research on the fit with soul arms.
Although there is a gap between the situation and the envisioned situation, in terms of knowledge theory, these also involve soul weapons, and there is a little gain in the end.
Moreover, they also learned one thing from the medical records.
On the 23rd, the day before, that is, before the combatants went to the lair, they took the initiative to cultivate in the cold liquid.
The reason for training is because on the 23rd, a monster was attacked, but the specific monster was not recorded in the medical records.
Nis guessed from the burnt injury on the 23rd, it is estimated that it is a monster good at using fire.
But when Nice asked Reynolds if there were any similar monsters in the laboratory, Reynolds shook his head.
Shaking his head does not mean denying, but not knowing.
What Reynolds knew was that the monsters kept in the laboratory were basically sea beasts of the water system, and none of them were good at fire. However, because the laboratory often needs monster organs, it is normal to occasionally have fire monsters in the laboratory, but they will soon be dismantled.
Because they couldn't determine the specific situation, and this was not a very important matter, Nice didn't continue to explore and packed up the relevant experimental records. They left the medical center and walked towards the showroom.
They did not encounter any obstacles along the way, and they arrived at the showroom smoothly.
