Restricted area grave keeper

Chapter 238 I Am the Scariest Taboo in the World
Parliament, Stele Research Institute.

"Dr. Xue, Mr. Huang just asked someone to bring a message, saying that he is asking you to come over."

In the laboratory, the busy long-haired woman heard the notification from the assistant outside and wanted to refuse directly as usual, but when she heard that Huang Lao was looking for her, she put away her impatient attitude.

There are many high-ranking and powerful people in the council, and there are not a few powerful extraordinary people, but among so many people, the only one who can make her obedient is Huang Lao.

The woman is tall and slender, wearing a loose lab coat, her hip-length hair spread out like a waterfall, her bangs are very long, almost covering half of her face, and she wears a pair of rimless glasses on the bridge of her nose. It was a pair of full red lips, which looked like a house girl.

It was Xue Hongyu.

Perhaps because of the long-term stay in the laboratory without seeing the sun, her skin is white and delicate, like suet jade, so that the assistants feel envious every time they look at it.

"What are you looking at, hurry up and lead the way."

Xue Hongyu took off his lab coat, straightened his fluffy hair, and said, "Hurry up, let's go back quickly, there is still a problem to be solved."

"Yes." The assistant withdrew his thoughts, hurriedly walked to the front to lead the way, and soon walked out of the gate of the research institute, feeling deeply in his heart.

Dr. Xue's character and ability are good in everything, but Lu Chi can't be changed at all. Every time he travels, he needs someone to lead the way.

In fact, most of her responsibilities as an assistant lie in this, either to run errands, and she can't help much with other things. Dr. Xue's thinking is out of bounds, and it is difficult for anyone to keep up with her rhythm, otherwise She can't do research alone.

Seeing the two walk out of the laboratory, a tall figure in a black robe slowly stood up at the door of the laboratory, and silently followed behind them—

To be precise, it was behind Xue Hongyu.

This person was Ye Xiao. After Dongyang City and his party, the council decided to let Ye Xiao protect Xue Hongyu's safety from now on, even within the sphere of influence of the council.

Xue Hongyu didn't have much opinion on this, Ye Xiao was just a cyborg with a pure personality, she didn't have any messy thoughts, and it wouldn't affect her to do experiments on weekdays, at least it was much better than those stinky guys.

The three of them soon came to Mr. Huang's office, which was the highest level of the council headquarters. His assistants and Ye Xiao stayed outside the door, and Xue Hongyu walked into the house alone after verifying his identity.

"coming."

When he walked in, an old man was making tea with a smile. There were all kinds of tea sets and tea leaves in the house, but it just seemed bluffing. Can't help snickering.

She joked: "Old Huang, according to me, your tea is not as good as the distilled wine in my laboratory."

"Nonsense." Huang Lao blew on his beard, "How can wine compare with tea?"

The old man's hair and beard are gray, his face is wrinkled, and he is obviously old, but his waist is very straight, his smile is kind, his eyes can't see the slightest turbidity, and he doesn't see the twilight of the old man at all.

Who would have thought that such a kind old man would be one of the top figures in the entire safe zone at the end of the power of the council?
"I didn't say that wine is better than tea, but it's better than your tea anyway. Tell the truth." Xue Hongyu laughed.

"Girl, it's not easy for an old man to have a hobby. It's fine if you don't give a few compliments, but you still have to spoil the fun."

Mr. Huang looked at the teacup, and found that the quality of the tea was a bit dull, so he picked up the teapot and drank the tea directly into his stomach like drinking boiled water.

He wiped the corners of his mouth happily, then looked at the woman's long fluffy hair, shook his head and said, "Look at you, I know that research is your hobby, which is a good thing, but you can't stay in the laboratory all the time, right? My hair is so long that I don’t know how to take care of it.”

Xue Hongyu muttered and lowered his head, pretending he didn't hear it.

Mr. Huang also guessed that she would have this kind of virtue, so he was not angry, his expression was a little serious, and he asked, "Do you know why I asked you?"

Xue Hongyu said without hesitation: "I don't have much room to interject. If it's a serious business, it should only be about research on restricted areas. Do you have anything to ask me?"

She guessed Huang Lao's purpose when she came.

"Huang Quan brought a research report, you can read it first."

Sure enough, Mr. Huang quickly took out a document from the drawer and handed it to Xue Hongyu.

research report?

Xue Hongyu took the document and became interested in it instantly. Excitement flashed in his eyes, and he held it in his hand and examined it carefully.

Her browsing speed was very fast, and after a while, thoughts flashed in her eyes——

This is the latest research report on the stele of the restricted area, which focuses on the causes of the formation of the buffer zone.

Xue Hongyu knew that Huang Quan had been arresting the spokesmen recently, and seemed to intend to use this as a breakthrough. After this period of hard work, Huang Quan's research on the forbidden stone tablet has indeed made new progress.

It is speculated in the report that there is a powerful blocking power in the restricted area stele, which is established with reference to the most powerful individual in each restricted area, which is the upper limit of the restricted area's blocking power.

The stronger the individuals in the restricted area, the stronger the banning power, and the higher the danger level, and this is the origin of the letter grades on the restricted area stone tablet.It does not imply a lower limit, but an upper limit.

In the past six months, the reason why creatures in the restricted area have gradually broken the ban and left the restricted area is not because the power of the ban has weakened—on the contrary, the power of the ban has become more and more terrifying, but it has gradually become more targeted, that is, focused concentrated on certain individuals—

Combined with the statements of some spokespersons, Huang Quan speculates that those guys may be gradually waking up.

In other words, most of the banning power in the restricted area is now being used to block the most dangerous existences in the restricted area. A large amount of power is concentrated in one point, and the power in other places will naturally become weaker. In this way, more and more forbidden creatures appear outside the forbidden zone.

It is worth mentioning that this banning power is maintained in the form of an inverted pyramid along with the power level of the creatures in the forbidden area. The stronger the ban, the stronger the ban, and vice versa.

In other words, as time goes by, the weaker the shrimp soldiers and crabs will be able to leave the restricted area more easily, and the stronger it will be more difficult to break free.

The deduction of this conjecture is very detailed, but it does not have much value, because Xue Hongyu has already guessed and verified this deduction, and the result is positive.

Therefore, this is a conclusion that Xue Hongyu knew a long time ago, and at most it is mutually confirmed with her thoughts.

She is interested in the contents of the second page of the report.

According to the report, the banning power of the stone tablet in the restricted area probably comes from a great existence called "Jin". This is information obtained from a certain spokesperson, and its authenticity is unknown.

But once the news is true, then this "forbidden" is absolutely inseparable from the emergence of the restricted area.

The restricted area was man-made, something that Xue Hongyu guessed and confirmed a long time ago.

From the emergence and expansion of the restricted area, to the gradual formation of the buffer zone, and even the forbidden creatures that can escape from the restricted area follow the law from weak to strong. Humans have to face the restricted area. The same as the copy of the game that has been set.

The key point is that this dungeon will really provide players with rich "experience" and "rewards".

Xue Hongyu believes that there seems to be a special power in the expanded restricted area, and the cell activity of the intruders will be strengthened at different levels. The most sensitive, it seems to have been instructed by a famous teacher.

Combined with rare treasures, source stones, and taboo sequences that are easier to find in today's restricted areas, it seems to increase the "explosion rate". Both quantity and quality are improving.

...Of course, more people died.

And Jian Wugui, who learned of this situation, left the parliament a month ago, and has been going around in different restricted areas, just to touch the power that he had seen in Equality Paradise——

A terrifying power beyond S rank.

Xue Hongyu put the report on the table, pushed his glasses, and did not speak for a long time.

"Any ideas?"

After a long time, Huang Lao's soft voice came.

He was just asking casually, who knew that the other party really gave the answer.

"Yeah." Xue Hongyu said, "We seem to have overlooked a problem."

"what is the problem?"

"The banning power of the restricted area is established by 'Forbidden', and there are all kinds of monsters in the major restricted areas. It can be said that monsters and ghosts are everywhere, including various unknown races. I don't know what the principle of such a banning power is, but I I'm curious—why can't humans be banned after entering?"

Huang Lao's eyes were fixed.

"There are monsters in the restricted area that have not been transformed from human corpses, or controlled humans, but they still cannot leave the restricted area—but we can."

Xue Hongyu paused, "Only as human beings, we have the ability to enter and leave the restricted area at will. Although not many people pay attention to this, it is unreasonable in itself."

Huang Lao subconsciously retorted: "What about the zombies? What about the guardian beasts? Although they are only the unique means of certain extraordinary people, they do not belong to humans. Why can they also freely enter the restricted area? Also, maybe the rules of the restricted area It's just a prison, so that the 'natives' inside can't leave, so it doesn't target outsiders."

Xue Hongyu said without hesitation: "No, it is not difficult to find monsters transformed from modern people in the restricted area. They are not aborigines, but they also cannot leave the restricted area. As for the reason why zombies and other strange creatures can follow their masters in and out of the restricted area ...just because their owners are humans."

Seeing that the old man was a little puzzled, she calmly said, "Old Huang, you might as well think about it, you must know that some taboo sequences are alive and you can go wherever you want, but why don't they leave the restricted area all the time, but wait until they are found?" Then it will be revealed to the world?"

A gleam flashed in Huang Lao's eyes, and he murmured: "Yes, it's not that they don't want to leave, but they can't leave...Only by treating humans as their masters, or humans themselves, can they freely enter and exit the restricted area?"

He vaguely felt that this was a very important piece of information, but the old man's thinking was somewhat dull, so he had no choice but to look at Xue Hongyu.

The latter really lived up to his expectations and said: "I once found a sentence from the stone tablet of the restricted area-'The restricted area is not a bondage, let alone a protection'. I didn't understand it at the time, but now, I think I may be able to explain this sentence." Talk."

Xue Hongyu said solemnly: "The restricted area is neither a restraint for the creatures in the restricted area nor a protection for human beings. In my opinion, it is a trial."

"Trial?" Huang Lao was stunned.

"That's right, this is a life-and-death trial between humans and creatures in the restricted area. The difference is that in this trial, humans take the initiative, while the creatures in the restricted area are trapped in cages." beast."

Huang Lao quickly understood what she meant, and said in shock, "That is to say... this trial is actually biased towards humans? The restricted area is actually beneficial to humans?"

"Yes, in fact, many things have been revealed for a long time."

Xue Hongyu said, "Many Origin Stone Taoism uses swords and guns as the carrier, and they are simply tailor-made for humans. You must know that although there have been many animal mutations, I have never heard of animals learning Taoism; as for some strange things. This is even more so for Jane, for example, the illuminated stone produced by Boundless City can only be lit by living people, which almost clearly shows that this is an exclusive prop for human beings."

"We have been ignoring these things, just because we always think that the restricted area is a disaster for human beings. In fact, we might as well think about it. If there were no restricted area, would human beings have become extinct long ago?"

The restricted area is a trial, a trial that is biased toward humans...

Huang Lao was silent for a long time, finally sighed, took out another document, and handed it to Xue Hongyu.

"After listening to your analysis, combined with the narration in this file, I seem to have a little understanding."

There was a look of understanding in his eyes, but there was still more worry that couldn't be concealed.

Xue Hongyu took the document and looked at it, his expression changed drastically, and he suddenly raised his head to look at Huang Lao with an expression of disbelief.

"Don't doubt it, it's all true."

Mr. Huang was silent for a moment, then said solemnly, "The town meeting, which has been postponed for a long time, seems to have to be held."

Xue Hongyu nodded silently. This is indeed a matter of human survival.

"In this case, the appearance of the spokesperson is worth paying attention to. They probably signed some kind of equality treaty with the creatures in the restricted area, so that they can leave the restricted area as equal human beings."

Huang Lao nodded. He asked Xue Hongyu to come for a casual chat, just to report Huang Quan's research to her. Who knew that the other party would come up with such an astonishing deduction in a few clicks.

young man...

Xue Hongyu left the office, and on the way back, a thought suddenly flashed in her mind. For some reason, she always felt that she seemed to be ignoring something.

Suddenly, she froze in place, a pale and delicate face, and information about the gravekeeper appeared in her mind——

It was clearly mentioned in the red envelope that one of the characteristics of the gravekeeper is that he can freely enter and exit the restricted area, and it is worth mentioning that, including Mu, who has a close relationship with him, there are suspected other restricted creatures that have this kind of behavior. ability.

According to Xue Hongyu's previous analysis, couldn't these guys be human?

But it's not necessarily true. Bai Mo and others are obviously deeply related to the emergence of the restricted area. Perhaps it is not impossible to get to know that "forbidden" person. As a creator, it is of course reasonable to leave a back door for yourself.

only……

It is not easy to build such a trial site that is biased towards humans. The position of Bai Mo and others is obviously biased toward humans, but their attitude is elusive, and they even conceal many things. Purpose……

This was the most puzzling thing for Xue Hongyu.

However, both Bai Mo and Mu had disappeared. The council had been searching everywhere for the past six months, but they couldn't find them.

……

Under the tunnel.

"You can now have the idea of ​​wanting to die, which means that the desireless dandelion has returned your desire to die."

Bai Mo said to Wen Ziya, suddenly felt a strange throbbing feeling in his heart, and turned his head to look at the door of the tent.

Before he could open his mouth, Ziya said solemnly: "I'm sorry, there's something wrong with the camp. A kind of branch broke through the limit and grew out of the ground, controlling my subordinates, and..."

She closed her eyes, suppressed the sudden killing intent towards Bai Mo in her heart, and said with difficulty, "...I want to kill you more and more."

Bai Mo's eyes froze, came for me?

Wen Ziya's desire to kill was obviously driven again, and there was only one guy who could control Wen Ziya and her subordinates at the same time, and that was Wuyu Dandelion——

To be precise, it was the guy in the coffin where the Desire Dandelion took root.

Bai Mo had doubts before. Logically speaking, it is impossible for Wuyu Dandelion to appear in the dark forest, which is a D-level restricted area. Otherwise, with the terrifying power of that thing, the dark forest cannot be as simple as a D-level restricted area——

At this stage, this is an existence that needs to be forcibly blocked in the restricted area. It should be still asleep. Could it be that it wakes up so quickly?
It seems that the time is too long, and some unexpected things will happen...

Thinking of this, Bai Mo laughed instead.

Although Wen Ziya closed her eyes, she could see the calmness and calmness in Bai Mo's eyes through the plants on the ground.

This guy is actually laughing...

Her killing intent surged like a tidal wave, and she had no choice but to use the fascination flower empathy to restrain her killing intent, and couldn't help asking: "Aren't you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of?"

"That thing found you. It seems to be coming for you. I have faced it directly, and I can feel that it is a terrifying forbidden creature." Wen Ziya gritted his teeth, "If you don't want to die, you should run away quickly. I will do my best to help…”

"How terrible?"

At this moment, Bai Mo suddenly spoke, interrupting her next words.

Wen Ziya was taken aback.

Although Bai Mo's body was devoid of strength and aura, for some reason, Wen Ziya suddenly felt an indescribable sense of oppression, which was fleeting, like an illusion.

Bai Mo's indifferent voice sounded——

"There is nothing in the world that I fear."

"Because I myself...is the scariest taboo in this world."
