Alice's Dream Club

After the quick response, the second generation went to work. Lynch didn't pay attention to how the second generation, who was dancing and gesticulating, was "handling" the remaining second generation of abyss monsters. Similarly, he was not worried that the second generation would cause trouble at all.

First of all, the second generation is not Mu Xinyi, although she may get into trouble occasionally, she will never lose the chain at a critical moment like Mu Xinyi.

Secondly, the high-tech equipment of the base is something she values ​​more than anyone else, to the extent that Alice is to antiques, and Mu Xinyi is to figures and games.

So basically, even if you ask II to beat herself up, she won't be able to break any of the base devices.

After the second generation completely dealt with those second-generation abyss monsters, Lynch also used the light of the phone to determine the direction and route for the next stage, put away the map and left the laboratory, and came to a place with light outside. Only then did he realize that the girl behind him was not in the right state.

She seemed to have something to say to herself, but she hesitated to speak, it seemed that she hadn't made up her mind yet.

After thinking for a while, Lynch sighed, "If you want to move one back, I'll pretend I didn't see it."

"Ah? No, no, I'm not the kind of scumbag who knows to die when nothing happens."

Er Shi corrected her sentence and sniffed her nose vigorously, then she squatted down with her head in her arms, and buried her face in her dangling body between her legs.

Her tone was sincere, but full of grievances and worries.

"I, I just... accidentally smashed one just now... Actually, it can't be all my fault, it's too dark after all..."

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault that I didn't give you light."

At that time, Er Shi jumped up, and she grabbed Lynch's arm, shaking her whole body: "Boss, you are such a good person!"

Lynch: "..."

To be honest, Lynch doesn't know whether he should complain about his slap in the face too quickly, or wonder if this can be classified as a good person card.

In any case, II's emotions have been calmed down anyway. Even if she is not appeased, she can quickly put her claws on it and forget it with her lack of heart, but at least the second world in a stable state is not so noisy, and can also reduce the troubles caused. probability of accident.

The passage through the laboratory shown in the indication diagram will enter an area called the "buffer layer". This buffer layer covers a large area and presents a spherical space area, which can only be reached by passing through the buffer layer. Where the core furnace is located.

The Second King was looking at the map snatched from Lynch's arms: "Speaking of which, boss, do you know what this buffer layer is for?"

Lynch, who was prying open the door, turned his head and glanced at II: "You know?"

"Nonsense, of course I don't know, otherwise I would ask what you do! There are cat cakes."

"..."

Lynch almost knocked down the bastard's forehead with the crowbar in his hand.

The movement is absolutely open.

Temporarily stopping the work of prying the door, Lynch moved his sore arm: "I'm just guessing: Maybe this buffer layer is to relieve the energy surge of the core furnace during the accident, so as to prevent the impact from affecting other parts of Cronus. The functional structure is operating normally. Moreover, such a large-scale 'blank area' is very likely not only for responding to accidents, I am thinking that the core furnace may often malfunction or something."

As he spoke, Lynch pointed to the destination on the map: "Look, the core furnace shown in this map has undergone multiple renovations and expansions. I'm afraid these renovations are not all after the accident."

Returning the picture to Lynch, II crossed his legs and raised a newer question that was more worthy of thinking and exploring.

"Speaking of it," she shook her body, "boss, you can usually let something go to pieces while talking and laughing, right?"

"That word was wiped out."

"It's almost the same thing." Suddenly jumped up, the second slapped the gate that Lynch was about to pry open just now, "Then why do you still have to pry it, instead of snapping your fingers and directly ashes this gate?" Is the game over?"

Lin Qi was stunned when he heard this: "Yes, why didn't I snap my fingers?"

Seeing the collapsed expression on the second generation's face, Lynch finally smiled and said again: "You have destroyed an equipment base for others, so I can't destroy other people's hatches one by one? How inappropriate is that? .”

At that time, the mood relieved by the Second King fell back into depression because of Lynch's words.

She bumped her head against the gate and there was a moment of bang bang bang bang. Finally, she sniffled aggrievedly and said, "...then the compensation will be deducted from my project bonus?"

"This is what you said yourself. Originally, I thought about paying the bill to you directly at the club."

"...I really bit you!?"

After being teased by the Second King, her long hair was disheveled, and Lynch was finally satisfied and continued to pry open the door.

In fact, the choice to use a crowbar to pry the door is mainly for the stability of the internal structure of Cronus. After all, this is already the core area, and there is an abnormal phenomenon in the core furnace. The closer the gate of the core furnace is, the less damage it will cause. When it really blows up, at least the gate can be used as a buffer.

However, after all the hard work, the gate was still in a nearly sealed state. Just when Lynch got angry and planned to tear down the gate and finish the job, II lightly poked his arm.

The Second King seemed to be holding back a smile. She pointed to an operation panel next to the door and said, "Boss, don't bother, the sixteen-way metal anchor lock."

Lynch: "..."

He slapped the second king's forehead as punishment, ignoring her aggrieved glaring, Lynch called Alice again.

This time it was a video call, obviously Alice was not used to it, and the degree of her discomfort made Lynch see her potential double chin.

"I don't see anything."

"...I'm dead!"

"Don't, don't, don't," Lynch quickly got down to business, "Zeus is by your side, right? Just ask him to answer the phone, just use your eyes."

"...?"

Although she didn't understand what Lynch said, Alice still handed the phone to Zeus.

Seeing Zeus, Lynch pointed the screen of his mobile phone at the retina collection device next to the gate: "Blink, if it doesn't work, then I can only cut out your eyeballs like Loki and borrow them temporarily."

Zeus: "..."

I don't know whether to call it luck or to say that the system's recognition is very ugly. Zeus doesn't need to be eyeballed by Lynch, because the gate was successfully opened in this way.

After hanging up the communication, Lynch slowly opened the heavy gate.

The gate is very thick, the side thickness alone is as wide as two people. Following Lynch into the buffer zone behind the gate, II asked while looking at the surrounding environment: "Boss, I always feel that you are particularly wicked today."

"First of all, I think it's a mouthful." Lynch was also observing the place he came to. This is an endlessly empty space. It can even be said to be a specially opened blank space. The equipment and structure, the place where I stand is made of a material similar to a mirror surface, which can clearly reflect the figure, "Then it is mainly because I was a little disturbed by the representative of the dead song, I apologize?"

"There's no need to apologize, but I'll find it strange that you're not wicked," the second shrugged his lips, and then motioned Lynch to look into the distance, "Besides, I think we need to pay more attention to those things that popped up all of a sudden. .”

Looking in the direction indicated by the Second King, there are gradually appearing some "strange" things not far from the two of them.

They are like existences born from the mirrored earth under their feet. Although they have various shapes that can be seen in rough outlines, they are all smooth mirrored shapes that can clearly reflect everything around them.

Whether it's a human or a beast, they don't have facial features, let alone eyes, but even so, Lynch and the Second King can feel locked in by their eyes.

Not surprisingly, this should be some sort of defense mechanism here.

No need for Lynch to say much, the second escaped into the Shadow Realm immediately, and only a few seconds later, the voice of "Na" rang in Lynch's ears.

"There are chaos cores, every one of them," the second voice was very serious, and he even started to panic, "and... the whole floor is an extension of the chaos core, mom! Yay! Boss, I have a mass phobia. Wow!"

As Husheng II withdrew from the Shadow Realm, her face turned bitter. Obviously, the coercion just now did not come from the enemy, but that she really might have intensive phobia...

You said she has a lot of weaknesses.

Since the entire buffer zone is filled with chaos cores, even if he has not reached the core furnace, Lynch can roughly know what happened to the core furnace—it was polluted by chaos.

"Is there any connection between these guys and the chaos pollution over the core furnace?"

Second World was still relieving the discomfort caused by intensive phobia, and she was taken aback when she heard Lynch's question.

Immediately afterwards, she disappeared beside Lynch again, and when she reappeared, most of the many mirror creatures had disappeared.

"...Boss, have you turned it up?"

"No, I threw a Q," Lynch asked casually, "What did you do just now?"

"Of course I went back to the Shadow Realm to confirm, but you may not believe it, the core furnace...has no signs of chaos at all, not even a trace of chaos!"

The second generation himself could not believe this fact.

"And it can be seen that the core furnace is using the energy from the operation to expel the influence of chaos that is approaching. I guess... it may be because of the erosion of chaos that the core furnace has triggered some kind of self-defense mechanism, through continuous operation. Keep yourself safe!"

This statement is not impossible, but whether it is true or not, the first task now is to clear the surrounding chaotic cores that fill every corner of the buffer zone, or in other words, the extension of the dead song.

Taking a deep breath, Lynch rubbed his hands.

"Don't come out in the shadow world, I'll try to make a big one."
