The sudden sound shocked the adults.
Everyone turned around at the same time, those who had weapons lifted their weapons, and those without weapons gathered their source power and were ready to attack.
Only when they saw the direction of the sound source did they realize that it was not a person.
There is a stone platform not far away from them. On that stone platform is a gray-looking stone slab. Whether it is the stone platform or the stone slab, it is engraved with exquisite and mysterious patterns, shining with extremely mysterious energy.
And at this moment, there was a phantom human figure on this stone slab.
He was wearing the Austrian robes and holding the rod of the Three Snakes. He was not tall and had a pair of dark blue eyes, which was exactly the image of the Austrian.
"What's going on?" Everyone gathered in surprise.
Su Chen looked at the stone slab, and then at the stone platform. He noticed that the pattern on the stone platform extended to the ground, and then spread in all directions like a spider web. He already understood in his heart, and said: "It seems that you are The central system here."
Central system
After hearing this, everyone immediately understood.
Before they went up the mountain, the prohibition in the mountain changed again and again. At that time, they felt that there were intelligent beings manipulating them, but after 36,000 years, I couldn't imagine what kind of life could live for so long.
But now it seems that the mystery is here.
Ji Ruoyu looked at the Austrian phantom dumbfounded: "This is the central system? What about him? Spirit?"
Su Chen replied: "Although the top-level source artifacts generally have tool spirits, that has already been developed after the fall of the Oise Empire. As for the one in front of us, he is not so much a tool spirit, but he is better. It's a ghost. A ghost stored in the central system."
Hearing this, everyone looked at the Austrian in astonishment.
The Austrian phantom trembled slightly: "It turns out that the Austrian Empire has been destroyed? So, the current Desolate World has become the world of the human race."
"You can understand this. Then who are you? Why are you in this slate?" Duan Jiangshan asked.
"I..." A confused color appeared in the eyes of the Austrian Xuanying.
He thought for a while before answering: "I think I should be called Elaine, Elaine Lamborn, one of the assistants of the great Patlock Arcanist... Sorry, I am stuck in this damn place. It’s been a long time, it’s so long that I almost forgot my name."
"But at least you didn't forget to trouble us." Yu Mengnan said with her arms folded.
"Oh, are you talking about the things that happened before? Yes, that was what I did." Elaine Lamborn replied, "But obviously it didn't work."
"It also includes those against the mob, right?" Su Chen said.
Mob? What happened to the mob
Everyone did not understand.
Elaine Lamborn has answered: "Yes, I turned off the source of the mountain so that they can catch up with you."
"What?" Duan Jiangshan suddenly became angry: "It turns out that the mob can catch up because of the good things you bastard did!"
Poor Duan Jiangshan has only now understood why the mob suddenly caught up with everyone.
He rushed up to pinch the opponent, but this Elaine Lamborn was a ghost, and his big hand passed through his phantom, and he couldn't help it.
"Enough, Jiang Shan, you don't need to be angry with a ghost, especially a ghost who has been detained for more than 30,000 years."
"The different bone died because of his behavior!" Duan Jiangshan replied.
"I know, but that won't make him come alive. Besides, as the master here, he has the right to refuse us to enter. It was originally us who broke in. We can't blame the master for being unwelcome." Su Chen said leisurely.
Everyone was stunned. Elaine Lamborn had smiled and said: "I am very pleased that I have met a reasonable young man. I think we might have a pleasant communication."
"No matter whether it is pleasant or not, you can no longer stop us from doing anything here." Duan Jiangshan hummed, "We will take away all the wealth here."
"You mean those materials?" Elaine Lamborn smiled slightly: "If your purpose is just that, I have no opinion."
"Huh?" Duan Jiangshan was taken aback for a while.
Elaine Lamborn has smiled and said: "As you can see, I am just a ghost that has been dead for more than 30,000 years. Fortunately, for some special reasons, I have not been scattered in this world. Those wealth has no meaning to me, I There is no need to care about them at all."
"Then why don't you let us in?" Yue Yusha asked.
"I just don't want you to make some major mistakes." Elaine Lamborn said: "You want wealth? It doesn't matter. You can take everything you can, but please don't touch the crystal ball."
"What is that?" Yu Mengnan asked.
"key."
"What key?" Ji Ruoyu asked.
Elaine Lamborn waved his hand, and the wall not far away started to become transparent.
So everyone saw that behind the transparent wall, there was a strange creature lying.
Said it has a strange shape because it looks like a mass of rotten meat, lying on the ground softly. If it wasn't for this rotten meat with a huge mouth on it, then it might really be just a piece of meat.
"What's this?"
"Patlock nightmare!" Elaine Lamborn sighed: "Maybe you think it doesn't look threatening, but believe me, it is definitely one of the most terrifying species in the world. If you put it into the world, then In ten years, the entire Desolate Continent will be occupied by it."
Everyone looked at each other.
Su Chen asked: "What the hell is this?"
"A synthetic life, from Patlock Labs, a by-product of our dreams." Elaine Lamborn replied: "This is a creature that will never die, whether you burn it with fire, flood it with water, or use any means. , It will never die. It has the appetite to swallow everything, metals, plants, ores, whatever it can eat. Whenever it swallows to a certain extent, it will split itself, from one to two, and then from two Become four, just like endless splits... ”
Everyone was shocked to hear.
No wonder Elaine Lamborn said it is a nightmare, such a terrifying life, once it enters the world, it will inevitably form a huge disaster.
"Why do you study this kind of thing?" Duan Jiangshan said angrily.
"Why else? Of course it is to pursue eternal life." Elaine Lamborn sighed.
Pursue eternal life
It turned out that this was the plan of the laboratory owner.
Elaine Lamborn said: "Patlock is eager to gain the power of immortality. He is a master of life studies, for this dream he has done countless experiments, and finally created the Patlock Nightmare. At that time it was not called Patlock's nightmare, called the eternal dream, represents the sustenance of our dreams."
"At that time, we have discovered that our life is formed by the most primitive basic substance in our lives. The continuation of life depends on the number of divisions of this substance, and the number of divisions of this substance is limited, so we The life span is also limited. So we try to create such a life, a life with infinite splitting power, and then extract its power."
"We succeeded, and we failed. This kind of life was created with infinite splitting power. But in order to satisfy its infinite splitting, it will swallow everything that can be swallowed infinitely. When we realize that this is a mistake, It's too late..."
Elaine Lamborn said, with a look of fear on his face: "We started to fear and tried to eliminate it. But at that time things had begun to get out of control..."
After a while, he said: "We failed to kill it with great effort, but suffered heavy damage under its attack. In the end, we could only put it in this eternal prison. And I was there. Died in a battle. When I woke up again, I found myself living in this slate in another form. In this way, I survived in this way until now."
It turned out to be so.
"What about the other Austrians who survived?" Yu Mengnan asked.
"I think they are all gone. Since there has been such a serious accident here, in order to ensure safety, the best thing to do is to blow the entire laboratory into the void. And I am in charge of guarding Patlock's nightmare, which is also The reason why they resurrected me."
Hearing this, everyone understood what Elaine Lamborn had done before.
He didn't want to let everyone in, because he was afraid that someone would accidentally open the restricted area and release that terrible life.
"As long as you don't touch the crystal ball, I can bring you all the wealth here. I know there are some treasures in very secret places."
Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.
"Great!" Ji Ruoyu said excitedly: "We agree!"
Others nodded.
There is no reason to disagree.
Su Chen said, "So, where is the treasure spot?"
"Don't worry, young man." Elaine Lamborn smiled. "First of all, you have to take this slate off the stone platform. Do you see the embedded hole next to the platform? Put this stone slab in Insert it into the hole, and then rotate it, and it will do after three turns."
"Okay." Ji Ruoyu promised to step forward.
Su Chen stopped him and asked, "What does this have to do with hidden treasure?"
"Because this is the way to open the treasure." Elaine Lamborn replied.
Su Chen still refused to let him go, but continued to ask, "Can't you open it yourself?"
"I'm just a ghost." Elaine Lamborn replied, "Although I have thoughts, I can't touch matter."
"Is that so?" Su Chen murmured.
"So, can I do it now?" Elaine Lamborn asked with a smile.
Ji Ruoyu wanted to step forward, but Su Chen still stopped him.
Everyone looked at Su Chen puzzledly, and Su Chen lowered his head in contemplation.
Elaine Lamborn became impatient: "What are you thinking? Young man? Don't you want those hidden treasures?"
Su Chen replied slowly: "I'm thinking, since you can't touch matter, how do you manage those source prohibitions? What is the point of staying here to guard that Patlock nightmare?"
Elaine Lamborn was stunned.
Everyone was stunned together.
Su Chen continued: "A jailer who can't even touch the key, but keeps on taking care of him, don't you think this is ridiculous?"
"Or, you are not a jailer at all, you are the prisoner in custody? Great Arcanist Patlock!"
