I'm a villain, not a devil

"Which Saint is coming?"

When the electronic female voice asked the question, the woman did not answer, but took out the key and waved it again.

"Testing...Comparison passed, welcome to you."

The mechanical door made a push and pull sound, and a large amount of cold fog poured out from it.

Sean, who was hiding in the back, had a strange look on his face. This voice, this question...

It was basically no different from Noah.

"Noah."

"I'm here, Saint Three."

"Does your database have any records of this place?" Sean asked.

Noah immediately gave an answer: "There is no relevant record in the database. According to the comparison, the system in front of you has a 62% similarity with me-my voice was set by the founder of the database. When setting, the voice of a female researcher in the institute was used, and then modified and adapted according to the data from all parties. The uniqueness is not high."

"However, considering the particularity of the Thinking Hall, the system voices of other shelters when they were designed will not approach me-plus the questions asked by the other system, I think the other party may be some kind of imitation of the Thinking Hall."

Sean nodded thoughtfully, he thought so too.

Judging from the current situation, the other party is like a real version of the Thinking Hall. Of course, the specific situation depends on the internal structure.

The woman who saw Bai Zhan's body walked into the room. Noah reminded Sean just as he was about to go in: "There is an early warning device in this place. The outer layer of the Thinking Hall detected abnormal fluctuations, which was inferred to be etheric body scanning technology-this technology should have a unique nature, that is, only the Thinking Hall has it, but the other party seems to have mastered this technology."

"The guards are so strict... Noah, can you solve it?" Sean muttered. After the woman entered, the door began to close.

"The other party has an extremely solid grasp of the etheric body scanning technology. You are now an etheric body, and I am just following you as etheric data. Without a carrier, my computing power is insufficient. It is estimated that it will take more than four hours to hack in with this computing power alone."

Sean was surprised: "Is the computing power difference so big?"

"Yes, Saint Three. Moreover, even if you come in person, it will take me more than 20 minutes to hack into the etheric scanning layer of the system. This is the same level of cutting-edge technology as the Hall of Thought."

"Squeak——" In the short time that Noah and I talked in our minds, the door was closed.

"It's much more troublesome than I thought..." Sean muttered.

Noah gave his advice: "If I agree with your guess, then the other party is likely to refer to the design structure of the Thinking Hall - I can point out the location of the escape route for you according to the structure of the Thinking Hall. That is a place that only the owner of the Thinking Hall - that is, you are qualified to use, for the escape of the etheric body in case of an accident. There is only concealment, not defense."

"Is this okay? However, I am in a cemetery now. Can you scan the periphery?"

Noah was silent for a moment, and then said: "No, but I have reconstructed it based on the scene just now - Saint Three, do you need to try? If necessary, please follow my instructions."

"Yes, lead the way."

"Please go back to the previous exit..."

This cemetery based on the shelter is much larger than expected. After all, Sean is an etheric body, and he needs to remain hidden all the time. It took a lot of time to come to a place according to Noah's instructions.

This place is also a tomb, and the door of the tomb is closed.

Just when Sean was about to ask Noah how to get the key, the door opened by itself.

Noah explained: "While I was leading you, I used the database to analyze it. The preliminary judgment is that the shelter should have a certain relationship with the founder of the Mind Hall. It is likely that one of the founder's personal assistants secretly built it. If you want to reproduce the structure of the Mind Hall in reality, the necessary condition is the Genesis Slate."

"The key used by the woman you followed before is also a replica. That thing reproduced a slate, but it can only be similar in structure. In the end, only a few functions can be used, so it is used as the key to this place."

Sean couldn't help laughing: "They have met the ancestor."

Noah's voice was flat: "If you judge by the order of precedence, ability level, program capacity, etc., I can indeed be their ancestor in your mouth. The key only reproduces the ether band in the Genesis Slate, and all the ether bands of the Mind Hall are recorded in my database, and the exhaustive time is one minute and twenty-one seconds."

"Awesome."

Sean gave a thumbs up and walked into the tomb.

There is a medium-sized coffin in the tomb, which is much smaller than Bai Zhan's. Judging from the gap, the coffin is obviously opened and closed.

Sean glanced around and looked puzzled.

If the bodies of all the royal family members who entered the cemetery would be transported away, the coffins here should still be open... It is almost impossible for others to come in and explore this place except Sean.

It is already difficult to have an etheric body, and you need to have the Thinking Hall and Noah to come and go freely. Other people who enter here are either dead or the emperor's confidants... There is no need to come back to finish the work after finishing it.

Walking forward, Sean slightly moved. The physical force that the etheric body could control was not great, but the coffin was still easily pushed open. Obviously, the seal of the coffin had long been invalid.

Pushing the coffin lid slightly, Sean was about to take a look.

His etheric body had just approached, and just when he was about to see the scene inside the coffin, suddenly, a strong sense of palpitations surged into his heart.

Sean did not hesitate at all and took several steps back in an instant.

He looked shocked and looked at the opened coffin in doubt.

There were pollution, indescribable terrible things, etc. inside. Sean had expected it, and of course, he also had ways to deal with it.

However, what shocked him was that the palpitations did not come from him.

It is the mark left by the Seducer Gao Yu in Sean's spiritual world...

That mark has been completely suppressed by Sean, and even became one of the "energy sources" for Sean to strengthen himself. Logically, it should not have its own fluctuations...

A glimmer of enlightenment flashed in Sean's eyes.

Is it... something that I can't perceive at my current level? Only when I reach the level of the Seducer Gao Yu, will I be able to detect it?

At the same time, there is only a little bit of Gao Yu's remaining mark in my body, and the energy is obviously not enough.

That is to say, the things in this coffin... are at the same level as Gao Yu's body?

Thinking of this, Sean took a breath of cold air. There is actually a complete body of an evil god hidden in the cemetery?

This is obviously not the blood of the imperial family.

At the same time, the similarities between the emperor and the prisoners in the Black Pigeon Prison have provided a lot of room for imagination...More importantly, this place is the exit and entrance of the escape passage of the Thinking Hall mentioned by Noah.

Only Sean is qualified to use the escape passage in the Hall of Thought, so the "replica" in reality can only be used by the owner here.

Sean looked at the coffin.

This is the way out that the emperor left for himself... But why did he feel that he would be trapped in this unknown mausoleum and had to use the escape passage to get out?

Even, in this coffin, might be the next body prepared by the emperor for himself...?

Sean did not choose to ignore the instinct of the Gao Yu mark, but honestly closed the coffin again.

After scanning the surroundings, Sean finally found the original owner of this tomb.

"Bai Yuan..."

Sean read out the other party's name, and according to the introduction later, this coffin should have been a child who died prematurely.

Judging from the time, he died more than ten years ago. If he had not died, he would be an adult prince now. According to the laws of the empire, he would even be qualified to compete for the right of inheritance.

Sean continued to look down, and then his eyes narrowed slightly.

The mother of this prince who died young named Bai Yuan is... Grand Duke Yuantie?

Strange, I've never heard that Grand Duke Yuantie has a second son...

As the Grand Duchess of the Empire, Grand Duke Yuantie and the Emperor are more like a one-night stand, because she is powerful and belongs to the category of military commanders. Obviously, Grand Duke Yuantie does not get the trust of the royal family, let alone let her enter the palace as a concubine.

This can be seen from the attitudes of Bai Youming and the emperor. Grand Duke Yuantie's biological son, the second prince Bai Wen, is the most unpopular among the princes and princesses.

However, this also leads to another point. At least in the case of the son she gave birth to, Grand Duke Yuantie has more say.

With Grand Duke Yuantie's power and autonomy, would her son "unfortunately" die young? She is not one of those concubines with little real power...

Sean expressed doubts about this.

"Strange..." Sean muttered a few words and memorized the name Bai Yuan in his mind.

He had no way to deal with this coffin for the time being, and there were more important things to do.

Following Noah's instructions, Sean searched in the tomb and finally opened an escape passage in a hidden corner.

Unlike the previous one, this passage had obviously not been passed by living creatures for a long time, and even the most advanced dust prevention system could not avoid the dust on the ground.

However, Sean was an etheric body and did not have to worry about leaving footprints.

This time, he went down much faster and arrived at the door of the escape passage in a short time.

"Please wait..." A few seconds after Noah finished speaking, the door of the escape passage automatically popped open.

Looking at the traces left by the movement of the mechanical door, Sean pondered for a moment and then walked in.

There was indeed no etheric scanning network in this place. After walking through the short corridor, Sean was not discovered by any early warning facilities.

"Hmm, this place, why haven't I seen it in the Thinking Hall?" Sean looked around. This place was not as majestic as the Thinking Hall, but more like a utility room that had not been taken care of for a long time.

Noah replied: "Similar to the overall structure of the Thinking Hall, what you usually see are the main use areas. At the same time, you can regard this place as the energy area of ​​the Thinking Hall, and the escape passage is hidden here."

Sean nodded thoughtfully, and then walked out of the small room.

Then, even Sean, who had seen countless weird things and was used to big scenes, was slightly stunned.

What appeared in front of him was a large energy operation area, with densely packed pipes, data cables, etc., connected everywhere. Below the pipes were countless small energy cabins, and everything was connected to the bottom of the huge energy cabin above.

This place was like a high-tech ventricle that was magnified many times.

Everything was providing power for the huge energy cabin, which was the heart.

This was not what shocked Sean. What shocked him was that the small energy cabins that were densely packed in a specific order were operating, and through the brown cabin walls, one could see that human bodies were soaked in the red liquid one after another.

Men, women, young and old, all kinds of humans were immersed in the small energy cabins.

They floated in it motionlessly, and there was a worm-like tube on the top of the energy cabin connecting their heads.

Every time the huge energy cabin above rolled over, the energy cabin below would perform the same operation.

At this time, the humans floating silently in it would shrink rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, just like a balloon that was deflated all of a sudden.

The tube connected to the head will wriggle like a worm that has swallowed food, transferring what it has just absorbed to the "heart" at the top.

Then, the tube will fall off, and the human, who is almost only a skin, will slowly sink. A device near the bottom of the energy cabin will vibrate, and the movement will be like someone riding a bicycle inside, accompanied by waves of disgusting sounds of flesh and blood wriggling.

Finally, with a half-crying and half-laughing inhuman sound, the person with almost the same appearance as before will float up again.

The fleshy worm opened its mouth wide, revealing its terrifying ring-shaped teeth, and bit the person's head.

After a short twitch, the person who was sucked will float quietly in it again, waiting for the next beat of the huge heart at the top.

Sean narrowed his eyes and walked to the side of a small energy cabin.

Through the brown glass, you can see that there is a young woman about 25 or 26 years old in it.

She floated naked in it, like a floating corpse on the water.

The Heart of Deception was slightly activated, and Sean looked solemn.

The woman inside... is not dead.

She is still alive.

However, even Sean does not know how the other party survived.

After looking around, Sean noticed that there was an eye tattoo behind the woman's neck, and the style of the tattoo was exactly the mark of the Imperial Army's standard weapons.

This kind of tattoo is not something that ordinary people can get, and tattoo artists also have strict requirements when making it.

This also means that this woman... is a soldier, an Imperial Army.
