Universal Mechanic

Chapter 584

At this time in the office of the Lord of the Stars

After taking a sip of tea, Luo Xiaoyao said: So has the traitor been caught?

The Lord of Stars sighed and said: He was caught. The other party used the panacea as a reward to get him to send the patrol team away.

After taking a bite of the tea, Luo Xiaoyao said: That's quite generous. I won't ask the reason, but we must prevent similar things from happening again.

The Lord of the Stars nodded and said: I am already investigating, but I need some time.

Luo Xiaoyao smiled and said: But we don’t mind this little time.

When the Lord of the Stars heard Luo Xiaoyao’s words, he shook his head helplessly and said: You really haven’t changed.

Luo Xiaoyao shrugged and said: You will understand when you live to a certain age. So remember to notify me if anything happens. I have something else to do, so I’ll leave first.

After saying that, Luo Xiaoyao opened the space door and left.

The Lord of the Stars sighed and said: Okay, it’s time to continue working overtime!

After a while, outside a cake shop

Luo Cangyue leaned against the wall, looked at the camera with a smile on his face, waved his hands and said: Today's shooting will come to an end here, see you next time!

Ain also waved and said with a smile: See you next time.

Xi Qiling finished recording and said: "Okay! That's it! It was really comfortable to shoot you two without any problems."

Luo Cangyue said while turning her hair: "Well, I'm a little uncomfortable, and my concentration is a little distracted. How about you, Ain?"

Ain thought for a while and said: I'm a little unaccustomed to talking. It's probably because I've been lying alone in the deserted area for too long.

As he spoke, Ain's eyes suddenly became dim, and he went from being heroic to dejected.

Xi Qiling was reviewing the film using the projection of the bracelet and said: You are just overthinking it. I can guarantee that the result will be very good. Your style is more stable than before.

Ain said doubtfully: Really?

Xi Qiling rolled his eyes and said: Please believe in my professionalism, okay?

Suddenly, someone behind Xi Qiling said: Do you mean that once Yi Sheng is filmed, it will automatically enter full affirmation mode?

Xi Qiling turned around and said: "Your Majesty, you are the best in the world and there is no doubt about that! And Luo Yueshang, your scary skills need to be improved."

Luo Yueshang said with a smile while tidying up her long hair: Haha, after all, I didn’t intend to scare you. Oh, by the way, Ain, long time no see.

Aiyin smiled and said: Ahhaha, seeing Cangyue is the same as seeing you, isn't it? Anyway, you must be watching secretly.

Luo Yueshang spread his hands and said: Oh, that’s a bit too much. I was just looking at it from my sister’s perspective, and didn’t you notice anything wrong?

As he spoke, Luo Yueshang smiled.

Then, a "Wow!" sound suddenly came from behind Ain.

Ai Yin was suddenly startled and immediately turned around to see Luo Cangyue with his hands raised and his teeth bared.

Aiyin turned her head and saw Luo Cangyue, then turned to look at Luo Yueshang and froze instantly.

Ain: ...Huh?

Please wait while Ain grills

After a while, when everyone returned to the dormitory, Ain finally reacted.

Ain took a sip of the drink and looked at him: So you are breaking up?

Luo Yueshang said while eating cake: Strictly speaking, we are separated temporarily, and things will go back to normal after a while.

Luo Cangyue gestured with victory and said: The principle is to use a large amount of elf stones as raw materials to create an avatar that is identical to the original body. However, because it is my sister who is controlling it, using the avatar is not very accurate.

Luo Yueshang simply moved his hands and said: My strength hasn't changed at all, but the activity time is not long, so it's a small price to pay.

Zhu Rongnian took a sip of coffee and looked at Luo Cangyue and said: No wonder you want me to redesign the weapon, but this will require the branches of the World Tree and the technology of the Rainbow Bridge. Of course, I am talking about the original one.

Luo Cangyue smiled and said: We still have a lot of time in the afternoon, so we plan to go there and give Sister Hill a surprise!

Luo Yueshang chuckled and said: It will definitely scare a lot of people.

As they spoke, the two sisters happily high-fived each other.

Zhi Qianshang said: Before that, let me prepare a set of clothes for you. Your color tone is completely different from Cangyue's. Don't you feel awkward wearing Cangyue's clothes?

Luo Yueshang blinked and said: It’s okay. After all, we only have one day to move around, so there’s no need to go through so much trouble.

Zhi Qianshang sighed and said: Just give me ten minutes, and see how I dress you up!

As Zhi Qianshang spoke, she opened the space door and took her away without waiting for Luo Yueshang to react.

Luo Cangyue followed and said: Oh my god, come on, take me with you!

Just after they left, Ain suddenly remembered something.

After taking a bite of the biscuit, Aiyin said: So Tianyu is dealing with the ruins?

Anna took out a pot of black tea from her own field and said: He said that if everything goes well, it will be over soon, which is why I told you not to worry about it (provided that no idiots commit suicide).

At this time in the ruins

Chen Tianyu, who was already wearing armor, looked at the corpse in front of him whose head was crushed by the trap and said: It seems that we are lucky. There is a high probability that there is no virus in this relic, but just in case, you should continue to wear the gas mask. As for the corpse... I'm sorry, but now is not the time to recycle it.

At this time, several fully armed researchers following behind him were also unwilling to leave the bodies of their colleagues in such a place, but they had to give priority to those who might still be alive, so they could only say reluctantly.

Yes!

Chen Tianyu placed a small transmitter next to the corpse, patted the leader on the shoulder and said: Cheer up, maybe there are still people alive.

The leader could only nod and cheer up and said: I understand, let's go! Maybe we can save someone! Then let them treat us to a good meal!

oh! ! !

Chen Tianyu looked at the people who were perking up, nodded and said: That’s right, remember to count me in when the time comes!

Ok!

After making sure the team's spirits had recovered, Chen Tianyu used his mental power to contact Michael and said: (How is it, is there anyone alive?)

Michael's confused voice sounded in Chen Tianyu's mind: I'm sorry, the detection range is very small, at most it can determine whether there is any life reaction within about 100 meters.

Lucifia also said: I have bad news to tell you, I have the same thing, I guess there is something here that can interfere with the magic power, so I have to bring more technological products next time.

Chen Tianyu smiled helplessly and said: (That's true, but this is troublesome. Judging from the lethality of the trap, although it is a one-time trap, it also means that this is not an ordinary place. Judging from the appearance, it is most likely a temple or a mausoleum that seals something, right? But if that's the case, this place is too monotonous.)

Just at this moment, Chen Tianyu's bracelet flashed and someone called him.

Chen Tianyu smiled when he saw the name displayed, answered the phone and said: Sorry to bother you suddenly.

The person on the other end of the phone sighed helplessly and said: If I hadn't just been conducting a related investigation, I would have exploded with you! Damn it, I finally got a chance to sleep for a while!

Chen Tianyu moved the bracelet away and said: Sorry, I will fulfill our agreement next time I go to the headquarters.

As he spoke, Chen Tianyu swung the weapon in his hand and smashed the suddenly activated rolling stone trap into pieces.

After hearing what Chen Tianyu said, someone on the other end of the phone said in surprise: Are you serious! ?

Chen Tianyu picked up a piece of stone and said: Of course, can you tell me what you found?

Someone on the other end of the phone sighed helplessly and said: Well, although it is just an unconfirmed speculation, this relic may be a facility like a trial field.

Chen Tianyu swung the golden sword to cut off the arrows shot from both sides and said: If this is the case, the fatality rate is too high, although this place is indeed too simple.

Someone on the other end of the phone shouted: That makes it even more possible! My research has found a passage that only those who have overcome the trials can become heroes! This is probably the trial!

Chen Tianyu thought as he removed the trap: ...Only those who have passed the trial can become heroes? ...Are you sure you didn't translate it wrong?

Someone on the other end of the line was silent for a moment and then said: Wait a minute, I'll check it again, damn it! Don't make any mistakes!

Just as he was translating again, Chen Tianyu stopped because there was no road ahead.

Chen Tianyu touched the wall in front of him and said while checking: Tsk, there must be something here.

Someone on the other end of the phone: Hello, what’s going on?

Chen Tianyu frowned and said: It seems that your inference is more than half right. This relic can change. I am sure that there was a road leading downwards in front of it, but now the road is gone.

Someone on the other end of the phone: Gee! I really want to go there! Forget it, remember to share the results with me!

Chen Tianyu nodded and said: Thank you for your support.

Someone on the other end of the phone: I understand. According to the murals I found, they have a tradition of living in mazes, but after the evolution process, they gradually moved to the ground to survive. But I haven't found any relevant records yet. The ruins you are in are probably made using maze-related technology.

Chen Tianyu said while looking for roads and mechanisms: Is this what you called a maze?

Someone on the other end of the line: Oh? I thought you were sleeping?

Chen Tianyu: I haven’t gone that far. Oh, I found the way.

As he spoke, Chen Tianyu pressed the protruding button on the wall, causing the wall to slide down, revealing a path leading to the next level.

Chen Tianyu turned to the team leader and said: You should retreat first with the corpses. This is not something you can handle.

The team leader was about to retort: ​​But this!

Suddenly a silver light flashed and shattered an arrow flying out of the passage.

Chen Tianyu frowned and let go of the sword in his hand to let the two sisters move freely. As the two divine swords flew into the passage, Chen Tianyu issued a final ultimatum.

Chen Tianyu: This is no longer a rescue mission. Leave quickly or I can’t guarantee your safety.

Someone on the other end of the phone also said: You'd better listen to him. According to the information I have, there are only a handful of people who can pass this trial. I also have an additional discovery. The word "sacrifice" is on the fragments of the same batch of murals.

Chen Tianyu walked down the stairs without looking back and said: Trial, hero and sacrifice, three very common words.

Someone on the other end of the phone: If this word is included, then the complete sentence should be that only those who overcome the trial and complete the sacrifice can become a hero.

Chen Tianyu came to the second floor and said: This is much more reasonable, and it is right not to let them follow. Even if you come, I will throw you out. There is obvious malice here. I roughly understand what they are worshipping. They are worshipping the maze itself.

Someone on the other end of the phone was silent for a while and then said: So that's how it is, it all makes sense, in order to live in the maze they would hold trials regularly to offer sacrifices... wouldn't it be more reasonable to offer sacrifices of human lives? The reason they left the maze was probably because the effect of the sacrifices became less and less effective and the maze began to threaten their lives for nutrients, right? As for the word hero, it was probably just a title, right?

Chen Tianyu said while collecting Lucifia and the others: Now there is another question: how to kill this maze.

Someone on the other end of the phone sighed and said: I knew it would be like this! Although this is part of the job, it is still very depressing!

Chen Tianyu said as he moved forward through the trap: "You have done this many times, right? Didn't you blow up a ruin last time?"

Someone on the other end of the phone: That’s because what’s recorded there is something related to human sacrifice. We have to blow it up. After all, it’s our job to completely erase dangerous things from history. By the way, how’s the situation over there?

Chen Tianyu asked the two sisters to protect himself while waving the metal whip to form a defense net and forced his way through the trap. Then he said: If anyone else came, they would all be wiped out.

Someone on the other end of the phone said in a disgusted tone: I'm really sorry to hear that. Can you do it by yourself?

Chen Tianyu: Of course, but I don’t plan to waste so much energy. This maze won’t let me get close to the core, so I want to go straight to the heart of it.

As he spoke, Chen Tianyu stopped and pointed his swords at the ground.

Chen Tianyu: Let the Heavenly Prison crisscross and penetrate under the brilliance of the black and white wings!

As holy light and hellfire erupted simultaneously, a big hole was blasted out in the ground of the maze by Chen Tianyu!

Chen Tianyu used the wings generated by his two swords to fly to the lower level and said: It seems that I am lucky and they can still be saved.

At this moment, in front of Chen Tianyu was a red sphere that absorbed several researchers. Then countless arrows and ground spikes suddenly appeared and tried to strangle him here.

Chen Tianyu let go of his two swords and then pulled out a long whip and swung it downwards to break the spikes on the ground. He then turned his wrist and deftly caught the arrows that were attacking him with the whip. He swung it hard and threw bundles of arrows towards the red sphere, but they were blown away by the repulsive force generated by the red sphere. However, this also caused the researchers in the red sphere to fly out.

Chen Tianyu: It’s time to end.

As Chen Tianyu spoke, he swung the whip at high speed, destroying the red sphere's defenses bit by bit. Then, accompanied by flashes of gold and silver, the red sphere was completely torn into pieces.

After confirming that the core of the maze was completely destroyed by himself and that the researchers were still alive, Chen Tianyu opened the space door, tied them up with a whip, and dragged them out of the gradually collapsing maze.
