When Hua An and Tres used comparative physical means to open the door of the biological psychic laboratory in the sewer in the north of Azure City.

The first thing they felt was a kind of coldness.

Miss Goblin raised her head and looked towards the dark underground laboratory hall. The seemingly vast space gave people a narrow feeling.

Especially within the perception of fairies, this laboratory has inscriptions of 'forbidden', 'closed' and 'sturdy' everywhere, and it is also full of pain and despair. Countless people, beasts and monsters have suffered here. Torture and then die.

It makes all living beings, whether fairies or humans, instinctively feel a sense of fear... It can even be said that it is.

There was a chill of death that climbed up my spine.

"How many people died in this place..."

Hua An shivered and couldn't help hugging Shuangdie beside him, complaining: "It's even colder than my Shuangdie!"

"Good guy, is this a slaughterhouse?"

Tres on the other side even subconsciously assumed a fighting posture. He clenched the hilt of the sword at his waist and frowned: "I believe there is a ghost lair in this place."

But just when everyone was on alert, they were in the corridor not far away.

Two silver-blue lights lit up, followed by steady footsteps, dispelling all the malicious atmosphere.

"Here he comes."

Ian walked forward slowly, he calmly put the steel-patterned sword into its sheath, and faced all his teammates with a smile: "Everyone has almost finished cleaning up, and they happened to organize the information for us - let's bring the information with us You can leave now."

"That's good." After Tres saw the information box in Ian's hand, he nodded without hesitation and was ready to announce the team's departure.

Obviously, Ian's solo action must be related to Mikael's mission.

Now, the mission has been completed, so it's time for them to leave.

As for the content of the mission...

At most, Tres didn't want to use his brain. He was at the second energy level and still had a soul, so he wouldn't make such a mentally retarded mistake - given him ten thousand courages, he wouldn't dare to ask or even think about these things.

If you don't know, you won't be wrong. If you understand, you don't understand?

"Huh?"

But Hua An frowned. She hugged Shuangdie suspiciously and circled around Ian. Then when the boy was a little confused, she asked: "You don't want us to go in... Sure enough, it was discovered that What are you trying to hide from us?"

"No...you want to hide it from me, Mo Feng, and even Shuangdie!"

The goblin lady relied on her own instinct and said firmly: "This matter has something to do with us goblins!"

"……really."

Ian hesitated, but after silence, he still sighed and admitted this: "Okay, Hua An, you and Mo Feng come with me alone...but don't bring Shuangdie with you."

Frost Butterfly: "0⌒0?"

Although she was a little unhappy, Frost Butterfly was still very obedient and willing to obey. Like Tres, she watched Ian leading the two fairies Hua An Mo Feng into the depths of the research room.

"What on earth is going on that requires you to call me?"

Mo Feng, who had just finished writing the report, was a little confused. The wind fairy lady didn't even know that the team had already fought several encounters. After all, there were Hua An, Tres, and an entire team of patrol knights who were extremely capable of fighting. , there was no problem that could trouble her along the way.

But they also knew that Ian would never become the Riddler for no reason and call them specifically.

After reaching the depths of the laboratory, Hua An and Mo Feng knew why Ian insisted on not letting the little fairy Shuang Die come over.

because……

What appeared deep in the laboratory were the 'corpses' of several goblins.

Theoretically speaking, psychic creatures like goblins have no 'corpse'. But just as goblins even sell their own remains, their physical bodies are essentially their corpses.

However, the body contaminated by the goblin's death energy is different from the body that the goblin sheds voluntarily.

The source of the former will give all fairies a sense of 'hate', and as this disgust spreads, all fairies will know that these fairy sublimation materials and potions were obtained by killing a fairy. .

At that time, the outcome was not pleasant. It can even be said that...the person who did this will see one of Terra's darkest scenes.

Although fairies are careless and cute at ordinary times, this does not mean that they are a 'good and harmless' race as a whole.

On the contrary, the reason why the various countries were so courteous to the fairies of Falling Star City, and even allowed them to establish a fairy village in their own territories... was all because of fighting!

Although the final result was a tie, everyone knew that the consequences of offending these small and exquisite looking guys were not something ordinary people could bear.

However, in the underground laboratory of Azure City, Ian led Hua An and Mo Feng to show them the row of 'cadavers' in front of them.

"Chenyao! And Huanlan?!"

After seeing the appearance of the first two goblins, Hua An was startled, and then hurriedly stepped forward to observe: "Surprisingly... they are really dead! And judging from the traces of ectoplasm, the souls have not completely escaped!"

"This is too bad. After reincarnation, I will definitely lose a lot of memory... They might not even remember me..."

"Huanlan..."

Mo Feng also opened her eyes wide and stretched out her hands to cover her mouth. Her eyes were filled with tears. Big tears fell down her cheeks, but her expression soon became cold and cold: "Damn guy..."

A gust of dark wind swirled around the gentle-looking elf bachelor, and even the long alloy table turned into fine powder in an instant under her power.

For a moment, Ian could only see two fierce purple flashes on a small black face.

It was like the substantial murderous intention was surging out, condensed into waves.

——It seems that Miss Mo Feng is stronger than Hua An... she is worthy of being the resident bachelor of the imperial capital.

"Shuangdie was here just now, so I couldn't say this."

Ian whispered: "When I was clearing the defensive forces in this laboratory, I noticed the familiar scent of goblins. I was originally wondering if there were related goblin researchers, or if there were goblins imprisoned here... but Unexpectedly, they were all... corpses."

"Furthermore, looking at the description, it seems a bit similar to Hua An and Miss Mo Feng's friends..."

"Well, you're right. We can't let Frost Butterfly see this. She's still too young."

Hua An took a few deep breaths and suppressed her anger - there was a certain relationship between the goblin's character and attributes. She quickly calmed down like the earth: "Lan Lei, Chen Yao and Huan Lan, I remember they formed a group to go to the Seven Cities Alliance. The ones over there were probably captured on the road.”

"Lan Lei didn't see it. He's not sure whether he's dead or in another laboratory... But Awak... No, how dare Duke Thorin? He just killed the goblin, but he actually dared to capture the goblin soul and use it to Doing psychic experiments?!”

Having said this, Hua An gritted his teeth again.

No one cares about the physical death of goblins, and it doesn't matter to them. It doesn't matter if they are killed or captured. At most, they are tainted with a little aura, and they are taught a lesson by the passing big goblin, "Why do you want to beat the goblin?" Oh, the goblin beat you up first, then it’s okay. Call me next time and I’ll beat you too.’ After that, the matter will be over.

But to dare to do something to the spirit of a fairy is to completely kill or change the memory and cognition of a fairy... This is to kill a fairy in the true sense.

At least it will kill him or all her social relationships, and everything will have to start from scratch.

The fairy reincarnated with the incomplete fairy soul will become a stranger to everyone.

For those who are still alive, those relatives and friends of his past, what is the difference between this and death?

Ian knew very well that just as Hua An said, these friends of theirs had lost part of their fairy souls, even if the cores returned to the virtual realm and were collected by the reincarnation system in Falling Star City... Hua An and Mo Feng’s friends are gone too.

That is, 'reincarnation' in the true sense, without any memory of previous lives.

"They killed Huanlan..."

Miss Mo Feng, who was beside her, was still under pressure. Although she quickly calmed down, knowing that getting angry now was pointless and that she could not kill the enemy, her heart was still violently turbulent: "I want to go back to Falling Star City, please. Grand Master 'Dragon Striker' punishes Archduke Thorin!"

"Whether he is a noble of the empire or not, he can't escape!"

Because he has known Mo Feng for a long time, Ian also knows that the wind fairy named Huan Lan is not only a mutual friend between Hua An and Mo Feng, but also Mo Feng's best friend or good brother.

Whether they are beautiful girls or beautiful boys, they have traveled together for a long time, studied and adventured together, and are true friends.

For fairies who basically have no knowledge of reproduction, best friends are the highest level of relationship, much stronger than human marriage.

At least since the Skyfall Disaster, no goblin has ever betrayed a close friend.

But now... even if the core of the Fairy Soul escapes and loses such a large part, it is impossible for Huanlan to remember her anymore.

It would be better to kill Mo Feng - looking at Mo Feng's appearance, she really had quite violent killing intent.

However, just when the two goblin ladies were extremely angry and even planned to return to their hometown to change their relationship, and asked a scary goblin master to punish Archduke Thorin, Ian expressed a different opinion. .

"I think it shouldn't be that bad. Not to mention the abnormality of this place in Avak. By the time you go out and invite the Grand Master over, the matter will be over long ago, or even irreversible."

Ian recalled the clues he got along the way, as well as the information in the information box he just saw. He somewhat understood why the Archduke's laboratory wanted to capture goblins: "The purpose of Avak's laboratory should be to imitate the spirit of goblins." structure to create a human soul that can persist in the virtual realm... In other words, they want to replicate the fairy soul."

"But this is extremely difficult to succeed, because fairies are essentially direct derivatives of natural souls, and humans are still far behind in relationships. Regardless of this point, they will definitely not waste materials like fairy souls and let them dissipate."

Saying this, Ian noticed that the original highlights of Hua An and Mo Feng disappeared, and their almost completely 'blackened' eyes visibly lit up: "Wait, Ian, you mean..."

"Yes."

Ian nodded slightly, his eyes reflecting the still active blue and purple aura, and said seriously: "Since their purpose is to create a lasting 'artificial soul', then it is impossible for them to let the goblin's The soul, even the remnant soul, is damaged and dissipated so quickly."

"They must be saving these fairy souls in a more important place!"

This speculation is also because Ian did not discover Ruixi or the 'soul' storage room behind other 'phantoms' in the laboratory.

even.

Ian thought so. Whether it's to control the phantom or to rule and manage.

That place must contain all the natural or man-made souls in the entire Avak Territory.
