Department of Medical Medicine, underground research room.
This is a place set up underground and specially used for research on magic armored insects.
Because one of Alice's main purposes for coming to "Mist Ridge" was to obtain samples of the "Antare" mutant species, everyone came here first before heading to the Wanrong Alchemy Department.
"Da-da-da-da-"
Amidst the clearly audible footsteps, Luo Zhen, Furlong, Alice and Chris walked in the corridor of the underground research room, heading towards the fifth research room, which specializes in highly confidential research.
During the process, no one in the group of four spoke, they just walked in silence.
The temperature is properly managed through air conditioning.
There was a very noticeable lighting coming from all around.
As the head of the academy, Chris opened the automatic door of the fifth research room with a security pass, allowing everyone to enter together.
"Woo..."
Upon entering, several girls immediately frowned.
Just because, here, a somewhat unpleasant smell spreads in the air, making people somewhat resistant.
However, compared to the scene that appeared in front of me, the mere smell was nothing at all.
This is an unexpectedly very vast and spacious research room.
The indoor space reaches deep into the back, and there are countless cables and screens in operation.
There are many large machines of unknown purpose scattered around.
The figures of researchers immersed in experiments are walking around here.
"This place is a highly confidential facility for ordinary students. It is a secret area known only to a small number of high-level officials in Mister Gang. Without the committee's permission and passes, no one except relevant researchers can No one can enter."
Chris introduced the situation here to Alice.
But I don’t know if Alice listened.
The girl just looked ahead without saying a word.
That's natural, right
I saw that in this research room, there were many culture tanks or culture tanks filled with unknown liquids placed in this corner one by one.
In those culture tanks and culture tanks, either the corpses of the magic armored insects were placed, or part of the body of the magic armored insects was placed, which looked extremely terrifying.
However, the most eye-catching thing is the large cultivation tank in the center.
This large culture tank was filled with light blue culture fluid and a strange-shaped piece of meat.
The piece of meat looked like it was alive, actually like a caterpillar, moving from the inside as if it was struggling.
"That is a part of the body of the mutant Antares. It was recovered by several SpaceX teams in Mist Ridge after the previous battle. It is currently being analyzed and dissected."
Chris said this, making Alice nod her head moodily, her expression indifferent, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Luo Zhen also remained silent from beginning to end, glancing at the scene in the entire research room with an uninterested look.
As for Furlong, as if he were the representative of everyone, he took a step forward.
"I am the Chief of the Air Combat Mage Section. Who is the person in charge here?"
Furlong opened his mouth to the inside of the research room.
Then, a voice responded.
"I'm so sorry, I'm late."
The person who said this and ran over was a slender boy wearing a white coat and glasses. He looked like a researcher, but for some reason, he gave people a nervous feeling.
"Um?"
Luo Zhen, who was not very interested at first, suddenly sounded suspicious, turned his head and looked at the other party.
"What's wrong?"
Alice and Chris, who had been secretly paying attention to Luo Zhen, were immediately stunned and noticed something strange about Luo Zhen.
But Luo Zhen didn't respond. He just narrowed his eyes and looked at the researcher who was trotting over.
"This is the first time we meet. I am Real Nuya. I am a second-year undergraduate student in the Department of Medical Sciences. My supervisor is not here at the moment, but the section chief has already given instructions. Thank you very much for coming."
The man who called himself Real spoke to everyone present with a flattering smile.
Even in this situation, the other party's attitude and voice were full of trance and nervousness, coupled with his groveling posture, which made several girls frown again.
However, the people doing the research here are somewhat inclined in this direction.
They stay in this kind of underground research room all year round and perform dissections and other work. They face the corpses and internal organs of magic armored insects every day. Their spirits are somewhat different from ordinary people, and they are generally people who are kept at a distance.
For example, now, the director of the academy has arrived, and he is accompanied by the chief of the air combat magician section. Even the researchers from are here, and even Luo Zhen is present. As a result, except for Real, , the other researchers only glanced at it, then ignored it and continued with the work at hand.
If this is to be said to be rude, it is indeed very rude.
Of course, everyone is not so generous that they can care about a group of people with mental problems.
At that moment, Fulon stepped forward again.
"Now that the chief of the medical department has informed you, you should know what we are here to do, right?"
Furlong said this in a businesslike tone.
"Of course, of course." Rayal nodded and said, "Is this the director of the academy? Is this the magic insect researcher of ? You two are so beautiful. ah!"
Real showed a somewhat intoxicated expression.
"Hello."
Chris could only nod.
"sorry to bother you."
Even Alice did not salute, but only greeted with the minimum words.
From this, it can be seen that everyone is still unhappy with the person in front of them.
But Real was completely unknown. He just turned his head and looked at the last person in the group.
"This is our hero Lorelai Agne of Mistgun, right?"
Real smiled ugly at Luo Zhen.
"What a welcome welcome. I didn't expect that a big shot like you would come with me."
Hearing this, Luo Zhen's eyes, which had been watching Real since the beginning, flashed slightly.
Soon...
"It's nothing, please don't pay attention to me, I'm just traveling with you."
Luo Zhen replied calmly.
"Even so, he is still a guest. I am Real Nua. Please give me your advice."
Real smiled sarcastically and stretched out a hand towards Luo Zhen.
Seeing this, Luo Zhen narrowed his eyes, then stretched out his hand as well, and held Real's hand together.
At this moment...
"——"
Real's eyes changed somewhat.
Luo Zhen's eyes also focused, and then became playful again.
