Alien Paradise.

Chapter 397 "New Energy"

"Why?" Elodie accelerated her strokes twice and caught up with him from behind. "Don't the evil gods want to corrode this world? Even if it is trapped by the God of Hidden Mist, you have dispelled it fifteen years later. Clearing the fog is equivalent to helping it regain its freedom. Theoretically, it can escape and invade the world, so there is no need to torment us alone..."

"You are right. This is also a question that I haven't figured out yet. But I believe that the answer will be revealed after meeting Vanrik Fish."

While they were talking, a new steep slope appeared in front of the pool, which meant that they had passed through the water area and arrived at the other end of the cave. Climbing up the steep slope to the shore, Chaoyang couldn't help but frown.

Many people also died here. Judging from their physical characteristics, they belonged to the Triton clan. Many of the corpses were swollen, with pus flowing from their mouths and noses, and were emitting a pungent stench.

"They were killed by the pot plant monster." Elodie covered her nose and whispered, "The one who planted the seeds was probably not Van Rik. Li Qiong has probably been active here for quite some time."

"Look there." Coco Moqi floated between the two of them and pointed to the darkness ahead and to the right.

Even without torches, the three of them could see at night, and the blind cave could not block their vision - the direction pointed by the goddess of magic was the northward extension of the metal wall, which was originally indestructible. On the top, a neat gap unexpectedly appeared.

"Go over and have a look."

"Follow me." Elodie stopped him and walked towards the gap first. "Please, please have some devilish self-consciousness."

"Devil?" Coco Moqi tilted his head.

"His nickname."

"Oh, you can control the wind and rain in the game, right." The little girl nodded seriously.

After getting closer to Chaoyang, I realized that this was not a gap at all, but a passage that was originally used to pass through the wall. There were no signs of damage around it, and it was smooth as if it had been polished.

"It seems we have all underestimated Van Rik."

He knew how to enter this underground ruins from the beginning.

"There won't be any traps hidden inside..." Angel looked worried.

"Probably not." Chaoyang pursed his lips to the ground, "Look, there are arrows printed below, which seem to tell us how to go after entering. Ruins that are closed to people thousands of miles away are not so considerate."

As he said, not long after entering the passage, we came to the first three-way road, and there were written road signs printed on the ground of each road, which were "airtight room", "disinfection room" and "No. 1 storage room". Library". Among them, only the branch road marked with the storage warehouse had dirty muddy footprints, while the other two were evenly covered with dust.

Now all fools know which way to go.

"A lot of iron must have been used to build this place." Coco Moqi sighed.

"According to the fishermen, the ruins existed when this was still a village."

The three of them walked forward for several dozen meters, Chaoyang couldn't help but let out a sigh.

There is light ahead! It was not the flickering light of a candle or an oil lamp, but an extremely stable light source, which reflected a soft yellow color on the metal wall, just like...an incandescent lamp!
He quickened his pace and when he came to the corner, he saw an inlaid light source appearing on the wall at his feet! Just incandescent lamps, tubular light strips? Is this a direct evolution to LED lamps? But the problem is, there is no electricity in this world, so what is the principle of this light?
"Wow... so beautiful." Coco Moqi couldn't help but squat down and reach out to touch the light, "I have only seen such a light source in your temple before."

These lights illuminated the entire passage, and not far ahead was a metal door.

Chaoyang suddenly remembered Barif's work diary... They were looking for a new type of energy...

Could it be that this is their goal?
Even after hundreds of years, the energy supply equipment can still make the lamps shine stably. If it does exist, the market for steam wonders will indeed be dealt a fatal blow.

Chaoyang walked to the door and saw the nameplate on the door lintel with the words "Repository No. 1" written on it.

He looked at Elodie, who nodded and condensed the strong wind in his right hand. He pressed his left hand against the door and slowly pressed hard. Unexpectedly, the metal door was not locked. Although it was heavy, it was still slow. Xu was pushed away by her.

"Coco Mochi, please."

"I know." The goddess of magic immediately cast her invisibility spell, making all three of them invisible. When everything was ready, they crossed the threshold.

"Oh my god...what are these things..." Elodie was stunned.

Even Coco Moqi took a breath.

Inside the door was a huge warehouse. The floor was filled with half-person-high glass jars. The upper and lower ends of the jars were sealed with metal, and the middle was filled with liquid. There were tens of thousands of them. It would be nothing more than a jar filled with liquid, but brains are still soaked in it... And there are as many as three or four brains in a jar. These completely naked brain tissues are like specimens in the laboratory. The difference is that they are covered with cloth. Full of silk threads, and emitting strings of blue light, when tens of thousands of jars glow at the same time, almost the entire dome of Storage No. 1 is reflected in a faint blue!
Is this cult behavior?
The bronze tube syringes used by the God of Karma to inject seeds are somewhat similar to these bottles and jars, but in order to highlight the mystery, those bronze tubes are engraved with crazy patterns and characters, and you can tell at a glance that the thing is not normal.

But what about these glass jars?
Chaoyang even saw words clearly written on the seal such as "This is facing up" and "Handle with care". The metal cover on the top actually has production date and instructions for opening the cover! It has a simple design, well-organized reminders, and exudes the unique beauty of industrial products...if you don't look at those brains.

Precisely because it has nothing to do with a cult, it makes it even more creepy.

"This is the new energy source that the Phlogiston Company is looking for..." he whispered, "an energy supply device that can completely replace the steam wonder..."

"Chaoyang, ahead!" Elodie suddenly exclaimed, "That's Vanrick Fish!

They did find Van Rik, who was standing at the end of the warehouse, holding a beating heart in one hand, and the other hand turned into a black cloth, fighting with another petite woman. .

Although the latter was small in stature, his strength was astonishing. He could actually grab the piece of cloth while grabbing his heart.

Who is she if she isn't Fanshu's "sister"! ?
The three of them ran towards Vanrick together, but unexpectedly, two potted plant monsters suddenly fell from the ceiling, blocking their way, and the invisibility spell was forcibly removed.

"Yu's power actually failed..." Coco Moqi said in surprise.

"Your Excellency, God's Envoy, you are here after all." Vanrick glanced sideways, with no hint of surprise in his tone, "Why, the Paradise Sect, which claims to be equal and just, also wants to stand against me? "

"Don't believe anything he says. He's just a puppet of the evil god now! He can't be considered a normal person at all!" The Hidden Mist user saw three more people suddenly in the warehouse and couldn't help but cheer up. "Take that heart, otherwise This city will be destroyed...no, all mankind will be destroyed!"
