Cataclysm King

  Chapter 10 T-Class Disaster Source

   "Trapezoid.!"

  The girl is not stupid. After hearing this explanation, she observed the layout of the room again and suddenly realized.

   Vision is deceived!

  This room is a single color of cement, and in this color, the long and short lines are the most likely to be misjudged by the naked eye.

   And most importantly, this is room 2013!

  Under normal circumstances, the next door to 2012 is the cabin where the [Fallen Witch] stayed, and several rooms near it were mentally polluted.

   Nobody hangs around here.

   Even if someone passes by, the mental power will be disturbed, so those details will be ignored.

  Visual deception + mental interference, which also causes the small difference in the distance of the iron gate to be ignored.

  The door distance is poor. This is a new discovery that the most detailed information from the information merchant has never been recorded.

  What a clever design!

  The girl with the mechanical arm thought everything through, and then looked at the man who was so weak that she thought she could kill it with a single blow, her face full of disbelief: With such interference, this guy actually noticed something abnormal?

   This is no longer a question that can be explained carefully.

  “.”

   After Ji Xun finished speaking, his expression remained unchanged, and he didn't think it was a big deal.

  Actually, he discovered this problem a long time ago, but he didn't want to worry about it.

  Besides, I didn't trust this temporary teammate enough at that time, so I didn't talk too much if I wanted to go out until the third day.

   But now it's different.

  Actually, apart from what I said, there are still many details that Ji Xun didn't explain.

  The structure of this bunker is very simple, a '亖'-shaped building, with one hundred rooms on each floor, and only one rusted elevator on the upper and lower floors.

   This design itself has problems.

   First of all, the purpose of this bunker lies in its name, [407 Abnormal Creature Shelter] is obviously a bunker for a research institute or something.

   But the laboratory is only a place to keep monsters?

  In a research institute with a normal structure, it is probably easy for people to analyze the location of other rooms, so such a misleading parallel structure was created.

  Follow this line of thinking and check the structure of the rooms one by one to find problems.

  Of course, the premise is that it cannot be disturbed by the abnormal spiritual field on the second floor.

  Ji Xun himself has a keen observation of the environment that is different from ordinary people, and he discovered the problem first after walking a few steps.

  Then inversely deduced the problem of the entire space design.

  Now that it is confirmed that this is a copy of "clearance and rewards", the most interesting part for Ji Xun is the discovery of the secret door, which is not decryption.

   Instead, reverse the motivation of the designer to design this level.

  The robot girl has completely let go of her contempt for her temporary teammate.

  Time does not wait for anyone, she walked directly to the wall drawn by Ji Xun.

  The door frame was marked with a "" symbol in great detail.

  The girl didn't delay, she raised the mechanical arm that had already fully charged and aimed at the mark, and she didn't forget to remind: "Stand back."

   Ji Xun naturally hid behind the girl.

   Then there was a "bang", and the air wave almost knocked people over.

  The two also heard the sound of bricks breaking in the wall.

   "It really broke!"

  The girl with the mechanical arm looked at the big hole in front of her eyes, her eyes were full of disbelief.

  Although she had been informed of the reasoning process just now, she still felt like a dream when she found a new way to clear the level.

   This also means that the customs clearance method of [407 Abnormal Creature Shelter] may be exactly as the man said, and they have found a new customs clearance idea!

  Ji Xun looked at the hole without any joy, because he had already made up his mind.

  He looked at the dark hole, showing a thoughtful expression.

  It is easy to break the wall, but this does not mean that the hidden plot triggered is not difficult.

  On the contrary, he felt that the designer was very confident in his follow-up design, so he didn't make more articles on the wall.

   Before I had time to think about it, the smoke and dust from the cracked wall hadn’t dissipated, and the two saw a new enlightenment at the same time: "Trigger the hidden plot, increase the exploration speed by +5%, and get extra rewards for settlement"

  The girl with the mechanical arm carefully looked at the hole in front of her. It looked like a laboratory area. The green twilight was eerie, giving people a psychological hint of a monster ambush.

  Ji Xun didn't seem to care at all, and greeted: "Let's go, let's go in and have a look."

  “.”

  The girl with the mechanical arm glanced at him, but still stood in front of Ji Xun, and walked in first.

  She is very clear about her position in the cooperation.

  Before I was in charge, but now it is this guy.

   This is a very messy laboratory, with traces of battle everywhere. There are dried blood on the ground and several dry bones in white coats. There are also scratches left by unknown creatures on the metal instruments.

   A messy pharmacy table filled with scattered beakers and reagent bottles, an anatomy operating table, monster specimens soaked in yellow-green liquid, and various weird tools

  All kinds of instruments have a strong steampunk black technology style, and a strong sense of magic and mystery blows over us.

  It's like an alchemy laboratory, but also like a biology laboratory.

  The girl with the mechanical arm walked ahead cautiously, glanced around, and said, "This should be the research room of bunker 407."

   Sure enough, it is impossible for the research institute to only house monsters.

  Ji Xun looked around and nodded: "Yes. Let's find some useful clues."

  “.”

  The girl with the mechanical arm glanced at him, not knowing why this guy's tone was very firm, as if he would definitely find something.

   There are also gas lamps in the laboratory, the atmosphere is eerie, but the visibility is not bad.

  The laboratory is very large, and rustling sounds can be heard from time to time in the darkness, and it is unknown what monster it is.

  Ji Xun glanced at the layout of the laboratory, and walked straight to the row of rooms on the left.

  The robotic arm girl followed beside her without saying a word.

  Ji Xun walked all the way, and the single rooms were all kinds of functional laboratories. Some he went in to take a look, and some just passed by the door.

   "What are you looking for?"

   "I don't know yet."

  “.”

  The girl with the mechanical arm suddenly felt a little baffled. Instead of looking for the exit, this guy is looking for clues that he doesn't know what it is?

  But soon, Ji Xun stopped in front of a room, and said in a deep voice, "It should be here."

  The girl with the mechanical arm saw that this room was larger than the previous ones, and it seemed to be the management's office.

   Before she could figure out why she stopped here, Ji Xun had already walked in, and then rummaged through boxes and boxes for a while, and soon found a safe in the corner.

  Safe?

   It looks like a very important plot item.

   Before the girl with the mechanical arm was amazed why this guy was sure there was something here, she watched Ji Xun take out some crooked iron pieces, put her ears on the safe, and started to fiddle with the lock.

   This is the "Master Key".

   It's nothing to do during the day, Ji Xun made it.

  It was originally to deal with the iron door locks in the cabin.

  Although there are extraordinary powers and magic cards in this world, the lock is still a mechanical lock, no matter how complicated it is, there is a way to open it.

   Fortunately, this safe is not complicated in Ji Xun's view.

  “.”

  The girl with the mechanical arm watched quietly from the side without disturbing.

  This guy's calmness gives people a very reliable feeling.

  She was not in a hurry to find an exit.

  The laboratory is very quiet, only "creak", "creak". The friction sound of gears turning.

  Suddenly, there was a metallic "click".

  Ji Xun smiled slightly, and said softly, "It's open."

So fast?

  The girl with the mechanical arm was also a little surprised.

  Looking at his professional safe lock-picking skills, and thinking of the way he analyzed the problem of the wall before, she couldn't help asking curiously: "What is your occupation?"

"Profession?"

   Ji Xun pondered for a moment, and responded, "I'm an actor."

  Girl with mechanical arm: "I'm asking about the professional sequence. Thief?"

  I thought it was spiritual supernatural, but it seems not.

  “.”

   Ji Xun couldn't answer.

  He was an actor before time travel.

  A clown actor who was adopted by a circus since childhood.

  The inexplicably high spiritual power is related to this profession.

  The clown has played too many roles, and one day he played and played, but found that he didn't know which one was the real self.

   Or each is a part of itself.

  Ji Xun clearly felt that there were many selves in his mind, playing different roles.

   It seems that he has always been very calm, he is not without "fear". Instead, it is suppressed by other characters such as "reason", "curiosity", "excitement", "knowledge", "twisted madness".

  This kind of overloaded mental activity allows him to learn things quickly, and at the same time has a careful and active thinking.

   This also allowed him to learn and master almost all difficult juggling in the circus.

  What tightrope walking, knife throwing, underwater extreme escape, guns, flying cards.

   "Unlocking" is a required skill for underwater escape.

   But that mental power also troubled him endlessly.

  He cannot feel the emotional fluctuations of normal people, such as: happiness.

   This made him more fond of pursuing excitement some time before time travel.

  Use that sensory stimulation to find some ways to vent mental distress.

  Thoughts in my mind flew for a moment, and then turned back again.

  Ji Xun opened the safe and took out a stack of documents.

  The things inside are messy, it seems that someone has rummaged through it, and some parts are missing.

  The girl with the mechanical arm also approached, and after seeing it, both of them were attracted.

  Enlightenment translated an unknown script like cuneiform into a readable form.

   "On May 3, 1141 in the imperial calendar, the 'S-class catastrophe source' was unsealed, and the research began"

"Experimental cabin 1001, number #1144, the extraordinary ability of the subject's awakening has a new change, showing a super high tolerance to dark elements. After injecting ten times the dose of 'Heim Type VII Ash Reagent', the body's tolerance continued to increase. Five days later Unknown direction distortion occurred Conclusion: This source card has S+ grade dark element affinity growth."

"Experimental cabin 1099, number #815, the experimental subject tried to implant the contaminated limb [giant magic muscle], the potion induced a surge in strength, and the physical attributes miraculously broke through the upper limit without changing jobs, but the experimental subject lost his mind and deformed for 14 days Uncontrollable, died on the same day. Conclusion: The source of the catastrophe has super high growth potential of the power system.”

"In the 2012 experimental cabin, the experimental body number #549 tried to fuse, and mental distortion occurred. It is recommended to continue to observe. After seven days, the abnormality evolved into a B-level disaster [Fallen Witch], which has the ultimate charm. Conclusion: The source of the catastrophe has a super strong spirit Continuing to study in this direction, the distortion state of the experimental body tends to be stable. The sixteenth injection of the T3 reagent successfully induced secondary distortion, and the experimental body evolved into an A-level disaster [Fearful Witch]. Conclusion: The source of the catastrophe has growth potential. "

  「The subject in the 3045 experimental cabin is deformed twice into an A-level mysterious disaster [Curse Gambler], and the curse is death」

  「The test subject in the 4011 experimental cabin is deformed twice into an A-level assassin-type disaster [Shadow Thorn], hidden in the shadow.」

"1145.8.16, summary report: After fusion of the catastrophe samples, each subject's awakened talent is different. So far, experiments have confirmed 31 special talent growth directions. It has been confirmed that the source of the catastrophe is never in history. An epic source card that has never appeared before. Preliminary conclusion: the fusion of this card requires super-high basic spiritual power, dark affinity, manic power... and other incomplete cognition conditions."

   "The Institute recommends that the fusion and distortion probability of the experimental body is 100% at present, and there is a risk of spillover and spread of pollution. It is recommended that the ban level be changed from 'S-level' to 'T-level' and permanently banned."

  「.”

   This is what Ji Xun is looking for,

   Key clues!
