  Chapter 572 The Dead King of the Past (13)

   After a brief conversation with the laboratory employee who attacked him and observing his behavior, Ian has already deduced a lot of information.

  First of all, just like the Azure City Laboratory, the researchers of the Central City Laboratory can also control some monsters and phantoms for their own use.

   But there is a limit, and there are some powerful monsters and phantoms that they cannot control, so these researchers of the Academy of Gnosis choose to hide, cooperate with the phantom monsters, and kill other people who want to get close to them and explore the laboratory.

  Obviously, they still have other enemies in the central laboratory, whether it is the people of the Archduke or the phantom monster itself, so they can only choose this aggressive defensive strategy, so that they want to kill themselves as soon as they see them.

  Besides, even these laboratory employees should not be able to find a way out of this subspace, and even...they certainly don't know how to get to the control center and other key areas.

  Ian could see that the employee who sneaked up on him showed a distressed expression that he really didn't know about the questions he asked, or that he didn't know how to take Ian there.

   But none of this is a problem.

  Because he was a prophet.

  He doesn't need a map to find his way.

   "Frost Butterfly, let me see."

  Ian gathered Frost Butterfly in his hands, then observed the little fairy who tilted his head to look at him, and smiled: "Well, go to the right."

  Not to mention that after Frost Butterfly became stronger, she became a little less sensitive to the prediction of danger...but the prediction of "benefit" is still reliable.

  Through this, Ian can determine the direction he is going, which is 'beneficial' compared to his purpose.

  Of course, his behavior, in the eyes of others, is obviously a bit inconceivable or even inexplicable.

   But now that he has arrived in the subspace, the boy doesn't bother to cover up unnecessary things.

   Pulling out the steel pattern sword from the chest of the corpse stuck on the wall, Ian flicked away the flesh and blood on the blade, and then put it back into the sheath.

  He set off, walking through the subspace labyrinth as if walking in his own house.

  —Avak Central Laboratory Subspace Labyrinth—

  Psychic test area monitoring room.

"What's going on, how could the C-13 area be completely wiped out? Didn't the Huaiguang Rescue Team let them pass? Don't stop those guys who are not easy to mess with. We really want to prevent 'that guy' from getting new men, but more importantly The most important thing is not to lose our own strength!"

   "What's the matter with Gary, why did he die before sending out the signal for help? Damn it, I said not to shoot, there are monsters in this world, only his three-legged cat can beat anyone!"

   There was a little confusion in the monitoring room. Obviously, the short battle that Ian experienced before had a huge impact on these people.

   "Which side are you from?"

The leading research director wiped off the cold sweat from his brow, looked at the older monitor on the other side, and urged: "If he can communicate, tell him as soon as possible not to f*ck intrude! It doesn't matter if you die, let that monster get his soul, and everyone else who is still alive will be finished!"

"It's the patrolling knight, Director!" The monitor was also sweating profusely. He mobilized the monitor to observe the looming badge on Ian's armor in the dim environment: "Although it is not obvious, it is the patrolling knight—only Among the patrolling knights, there is only this kind of freak who can fight five!"

   "Patrolling Knight!"

The researcher on the other side gritted his teeth and hammered the table: "It's them again! They have been investigating our research all the time, so the raw materials for the last 'divine marrow extraction experiment' couldn't be shipped. Aren't these people specialize in arresting nobles? What are you doing against us!"

   "Don't be stupid." The director scolded: "Isn't the Grand Duke Sorin who is cooperating with us one of the biggest nobles?"

"Since you are a patrolling knight, you can barely be regarded as half of your own in this situation—send an alchemy crow to tell him the relevant information in the subspace labyrinth. It is fine if you are willing to cooperate. Lead to the 'Fire Hell', even if you die, you can't take advantage of that monster!"

  He gave the order decisively, and everyone went into action.

   After the director in charge gave the order, he sat on his seat a little tiredly.

  Since the first abnormality appeared in the Avak area a few days ago, the employees of the central laboratory have been trapped in the subspace.

After all, all of them are scholars and alchemists in related fields. Everyone knows the current situation, so they are not very surprised. I've known for a long time that such a day might come.

But the problem is that the out-of-control this time is obviously caused by the "inner ghost" deliberately making trouble... Inside the central laboratory, there is a psychic fluctuation that can be restrained due to "resentment", even if there is an extraordinary emotional concentration, Vibration Void, the laboratory also has early warning facilities, allowing them to evacuate safely in advance.

  However, this time the loss of control was very sudden, and it surpassed all warning facilities...

'That guy' didn't know what it was for, but he untied all the restraint devices of the souls of the experimental subjects, and the super psionic vibration hundreds of times beyond the estimated limit knocked the entire Avak laboratory, and even Covered by the small half of the Avak collar.

During this process, a large number of phantoms and monsters escaped from their cages. The laboratory was alright, because there were countermeasures, and not many people went crazy because of psionic energy fluctuations, but the phantoms and monsters caused a lot of deaths. ' provides strength.

However, the subspace of the laboratory was also beyond the expectation of "that guy". The beasts, each occupying a part of the warp labyrinth, held their ground against the constant attacks of 'that guy'.

Just after the initial chaos, the positions of those guys in the Feiyan district were breached, but they also used their last resort to severely injure each other, causing a large number of phantoms and monsters to lose control. people control.

  This is also the reason why there are those high-energy phantoms and strange beasts running around in the outside world.

   In this way, it also gave the Institute of the Intellect and Grand Duke Sorin a chance to breathe.

   But it’s just a respite—if they don’t find a way out of this subspace maze as soon as possible, they will be completely swallowed by each other in the end!

   "But the problem is, that guy's lair is blocked at the exit!"

Thinking of this, the director couldn't help gnashing his teeth: "Attacking indiscriminately is just giving him a soul, and the only way to consume his power is to increase the exchange ratio by defending... It was fine at first, but with the arrival of foreign 'rescuers', the balance of power was overwhelmed." broke."

   "They don't know the chaos in the subspace maze at all. Walking indiscriminately, they will only become food for that guy!"

  As for why it is called 'that guy'... the main reason is that in the subspace, calling one's name at will is a kind of 'summoning'.

  The director not only knew who the other party was, but also knew that the other party was just an ordinary young researcher, a bachelor sent by the Grand Duke.

But for some unknown reason or method, he actually destroyed all the safety valves in the central laboratory with his own hands, turning the souls of those extremely dangerous test subjects into his own power... After that, he even made himself The power spread to the entire Avak Territory, gathering the entire territory, almost all the souls in his arms.

  If those souls weren't too weak and couldn't provide much power before being nurtured and formed, that guy wouldn't be stopped by them at all, and he would have controlled the entire subspace maze long ago!

  Up to now, even the director who hates the other party has to admit one thing.

   That is, after creating such a tragedy, 'that guy' actually accomplished the three goals they expected to end up with, and obtained the power that can be called the highest level of spiritual power inheritance...

  The power called "The Dead Lord of the Past"!
