Chapter 567

"Let's see what secrets are hidden here."

…

ps: Tickets, hungry.

105.Child

The two of them walked towards the depths of the already messy room, and their attention first fell on the inconspicuous futon.

King Indra had been sitting on it just now, and according to his own words, the clone seemed to be based on this futon and could not be too far away from it.

"This is a pretty magical item."

Celcia picked it up and examined it carefully in her hands.

"It contains powerful magic power, and it should be used to provide power to the clone. After all, this place is completely isolated from the outside world, and there is no way to give his clone functions through King Indra's body."

"magic?"

Mu En asked:

"Isn't King Indra a pure warrior? At least I haven't seen him use magic. There is magic in it, is that okay?"

"Of course, magic power is the basis of all things in the world, and fighting spirit is just a special power derived from the inside of the human body. Magic power can be stored for a long time through special magic stones and magic circles, but once fighting spirit leaves the body, it will dissipate quickly."

Celcia replied:

"The magic power maintains the flesh and blood, and then the flesh and blood derives the magic power. This is one of the basic principles of the puppet magic system, don't you know?"

"I haven't learned the basics of magic yet, third-year senior."

"Being called senior by you always makes me feel inexplicably unhappy."

Celecia glared at Mu En coldly, then weighed the futon in her hands:

"Do you want it? This kind of magic item that can maintain the supply of magic power for fifth-level clones is worth a lot of money."

"No, I'm not interested in something like this that an old man has sat on." Mu En shrugged in disgust.

"Too."

Celecia didn't feel any distress at all, she froze the futon directly and then crushed it into ice shavings.

"Let's go, enough time has been wasted."

"OK."

The two of them stopped staying and searched along the wall behind where King Indra was sitting just now. Finally, they found a secret door in an inconspicuous place.

Different from the previous need for Mu En to read soul information, due to the melee just now, the walls here were already in tatters, so the secret door was revealed naturally without much effort at all.

Besides, it has already come to this point. Think about it, even if the other party is too cautious, it is impossible for him to spend so much energy on concealment at this time.

The door was opened quickly. After all, a intact door couldn't stop Mu En for a few minutes, let alone such a shabby door.

The two looked at each other and walked into the darkness.

After the magic power recovered, the firefly-like light point floated in front again, illuminating the way forward.

Celecia took a deep look at the light spot and discovered that along the way, this lighting technique, which was learned only in one semester and was once made a joke by all the teachers and students in the school, turned out to be extremely convenient.

"be careful."

Celcia raised her hand to signal.

In front of the two of them, there was another dark and deep corridor, leading to nowhere.

But she analyzed the vague airflow and a faint strange smell, and concluded that they should be reaching their destination soon.

"Do you want me to go to the front?"

Mu En winked at Celecia.

"Stay well."

Celecia responded with her still cold gaze.

The two continued to move forward. Although they seemed to be light-footed and relaxed, in fact they had already heightened their vigilance.

After all, even if King Indra dies, facing this unknown place, no one knows what monsters and monsters will appear in the future.

Both of them have tasted the bitter pill of being lax and will naturally not make this mistake again.

…

Sure enough, not long after walking, when a door was opened again, the flickering light covered the star point of the illumination technique.

The lighting magic stones on both sides of the corridor prove that people have been active here for a long time, and the slender pipes that snake through the hidden corners of the wall and shine with a faint magical luster prove that the function of this place is definitely not as simple as a food processing factory.

"What is the taste?"

But as soon as she walked in here, Celcia frowned slightly and subconsciously covered her nose with her hands.

"Like some kind of potion."

Mu En couldn't help but pinch his nose. The strong pungent smell reminded him of the disinfectant from the hospital in his previous life, but it was much stronger and made people feel sick.

The two looked at each other and saw some kind of speculation in each other's eyes.

Continuing forward along the road under my feet, the lights flickered all the way, but no one was seen. There were some debris and papers scattered everywhere on the ground. A cup of coffee was poured and spilled on the floor, and there was even a faint heat.

"Looks like he ran away in a hurry."

Mu En bent down and picked up a piece of paper from the ground, and found that there were various dense calculation formulas written on it like ghostly drawings. Instantly, he remembered the fear of being dominated by high numbers.

Damn it, has mathematics in this world developed to this extent?

However, Mu En took a closer look and found that they were just similar. The calculation formulas above were extremely unfamiliar and completely different from those in the previous life.

"What is this, I can't understand."

Mu En quickly handed the piece of paper to Celcia.

Celecia glanced over and gently shook her head:

"I don't understand it very well, but I can probably tell that it's calculating some kind of dose or something."

"dose?"

"It should be some kind of medicine."

Cecilia looked around.

"Medicine..."

Mu En whispered in a low voice, and an inexplicable cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes.

He seemed to remember something, but before he had time to think deeply, a sudden movement in the shadows made him alert instantly.

"Who?"

Mu En drew his sword and slashed, and the sharp sword light dispelled the darkness.

But the existence hiding in the darkness was faster than he imagined. In a flash, it was able to dodge Mu En's sword light and rushed towards Mu En at once.

It's a bit interesting.

Mu En's expression condensed, and he no longer held back. The low thunder sound was poured into the pure white blade, locking onto the thing that was about the size of his knee.

But, just as the sword light was about to fall, Mu En's hand suddenly stopped.

His eyes widened slightly, and he stared at the thing that ran out of the darkness with some surprise.

That was... a child.

At least, if you just look at the face, it's a child.

He was only about five or six years old, and his chubby face still had the innocence of a child.

But the back half of his body was sewn onto some twisted and weird creature, and his six legs were like spider legs stepping back and forth on the ground. He was able to move so quickly just now with these six legs.

One of his hands was as short and tender as a normal child, waving randomly, and the other hand... couldn't be called a hand at all, it was a sickle-like limb.

At this moment, he did not attack Mu En, but used the slightly longer sickle limb to swipe Mu En's trouser legs with awkward movements.

Like a panicked child, he tried his best to grab something that would make him feel at ease.

But the sharp sickle couldn't grab anything.

"You...I..."

The child's voice was extremely childish, and there were tears in his confused big eyes:

"I...big brother...I'm hungry..."

106, Research Institute

This is an innocent child, with tears flowing from fear in his cute big eyes, which looks extremely pitiful.

But the limbs of his back half are hideous and terrifying monsters, and six spider-like legs are scratching the ground, leaving clear and visible marks on the hard floor.

The sickle is also extremely sharp, and it is obviously just scratching randomly like trying to grab something, but Mu En's trouser legs have become tattered, and even his skin has been accidentally scratched several times, leaving several blood marks.

The little boy seemed to be unaware that he had become "different". He still followed his instincts and pleaded pitifully to Mu En:

"Big brother... I'm hungry... I'm hungry..."

The trembling of Mu En's pupils had not stopped. Looking at this poor little boy, some pictures flashed through his mind quickly, including the simple residents of the town whose brains were eaten by insects, Emily who lost her only relative, and the gang members who turned into monsters...

The last picture was fixed, showing the half-human, half-monster little boy in front of him.

"..."

Mu En took a deep breath, temporarily suppressed some emotions deep in his heart, half squatted down, and took out some food he brought with him.

The little boy saw the food and soon showed a happy smile, but he seemed to be unskilled in his body. He used the tip of the sickle awkwardly to pick up the food handed by Mu En and carefully put it into his mouth.

He swallowed it voraciously.

"Eat slowly, I still have more."

Mu En didn't know what to say, but just touched the little boy's head, turned his head and looked at Cecilia.

Cecilia also frowned.

"What should I do?"

"I don't know."

"Is there a way to treat it?"

"What do you think?"

Cecilia said expressionlessly:

"Let's not talk about the possibility of treatment. Haven't you discovered that he..."

Cecilia suddenly fell silent.

She looked into Mu En's eyes and read what was hidden under those azure pupils. She found that he was not unaware, but just holding a one-in-ten-thousand hope and asking.

Mu En turned his head back silently.

The little boy who was eating spasmed a few times, and his expression instantly became hideous. He threw away the normal food, and his eyes, which had turned scarlet, stared at Mu En who was close at hand.

No more innocence and cuteness, only cruelty and violence.

The little boy finally couldn't resist the temptation of blood. After a few roars in a low voice, he rushed towards Mu En.

Then he was picked up by Mu En's short knife, turned over and pressed to the ground with the back of the knife.

"So hungry... so painful..."

"So hungry... so painful..."

The little boy's limbs struggled, his scarlet eyes shed red tears of blood, and his face was sometimes ferocious and sometimes fearful.

"Is the consciousness controlled by the body, and... rejection reaction?"

Mu En quickly analyzed the boy's current situation. In fact, from the first glance, he saw the boy's fragility. His skin was too tender, like a baby, and his whole body exuded the pungent smell that Mu En and Cecilia smelled before. It seemed that he had been immersed in some liquid before and had never been exposed to air.

"Help him get rid of it." Cecilia said.

"I know." Mu En replied.
