My queen is rebelling!

The moment the research institute rose from the ground, it felt as if all of time and space had come to a standstill.

The air around the research institute emitted a sharp whistling sound due to intense friction.

Windsor Della looked at the horrifying scene before her, her red lips slightly parted, and asked with a tone of surprise and uncertainty:

"What's going on?"

Cohen's eyes swirled with contemplation.

Could it be that Windsor Della's elven royal bloodline caused the Nightmare Mist to bring them here?

No, there must be another reason.

He suppressed his thoughts and answered Windsor Della's question:

"Obviously, it's ascending to the heavens.

Such a sight is rare, so your Excellency Special Envoy definitely didn't come to the Northwest Continent for nothing."

After a while, Cohen suddenly reminded her out of the blue:

"Oh right, try not to use extraordinary power later, this is an illusion created by the Nightmare Mist, you won't really die."

Windsor Della stared blankly at the research institute disappearing into the sky and asked:

"Why would I use extraordinary power? Is there going to be any danger later?"

Cohen looked up at the sky, where a red dot was faintly visible, followed by a roar even more intense than before.

He said matter-of-factly:

"What goes up must come down!"

Windsor Della didn't have time to react to the meaning of Cohen's words.

The behemoth was falling rapidly at an alarming speed.

Under the relentless pull of gravity, the powerful friction had already ignited the surrounding air.

"Trust me, this is just an illusion, you won't really die.

Don't be afraid, don't use extraordinary power, or it will be even harder to bear later!"

Windsor Della's expression froze, and she instantly fell into a state of intense thought.

In the end, Cohen's performance throughout the journey led the Winged Elf lady to choose to trust him once.

However, the immersive, earth-shattering scene still made her heart tremble.

Cohen, on the other hand, remained calm, his eyes bright, staring intently at the research institute that was constantly falling.

He wanted to see what exactly was happening inside!

The scorching temperature and the overwhelming pressure made it difficult to stand.

With a deafening crash that shook the earth, the entire world was shrouded in blood and fire.

… …

Windsor Della opened her eyes again, her heart still pounding violently.

Realizing that she was indeed still alive, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But soon, she noticed something was wrong.

She was still wearing a white coat and a protective mask.

Suddenly looking up, the towering research institute stood intact before her.

A huge sense of unreality filled her mind.

As if unwilling to admit it, she focused her gaze towards the inside of the research institute.

A female researcher spilled coffee on a short, fat man!

Several men in purple uniforms, seemingly leaders, were gathered by the window, talking about something!

There were also many security personnel in yellow uniforms constantly gathering towards a room in the very center.

Everything was exactly the same as before, every detail was perfect!

The Elf lady felt goosebumps all over her body, and her breathing couldn't help but stop.

Just then, Cohen's voice rang out from behind her:

"Obviously, this is a cycle.

I just looked at the time and date.

We should have been brought to before the destruction of the research institute by the Nightmare Mist.

The Nightmare Mist has simulated the identities of two low-level researchers for us based on our aura.

As long as the two of us die, we will enter the cycle.

I just roughly estimated that from the time we appear here.

To the research institute starting to ascend to the heavens, it's about five minutes."

Windsor Della turned around, Cohen's presence inexplicably made her feel a sense of security.

In this bizarre environment, having someone who can always calmly analyze the situation is definitely a lucky thing.

She immediately asked, as if she had found her backbone:

"Then what should we do?

Do we have to endure this near-death feeling five more times?"

Windsor Della's eyes showed a hint of unease.

She really didn't want to experience this intense fear of being close to death again.

Cohen grabbed Windsor Della's hand and said:

"There's no time to explain in detail, let's talk as we walk."

The series of bizarre scenes had greatly impacted the Winged Elf lady's mind.

In this unknown fear, she could only choose to trust Cohen.

Soon, Cohen pulled Windsor Della to directly below the research institute's gate.

He signaled her to take out the white card from her pocket, and the two swiped the card at the gate, two white circles appeared before their eyes.

Cohen explained as he walked:

"Similar scenarios do have to be experienced five more times.

I can only tell you that this is a tempering of your willpower.

I believe that after coming out of the Nightmare Mist, your legendary attribute will have a considerable increase."

Cohen's words immediately made Windsor Della's face look much better.

He continued to say:

"Also, are you choosing to wait for death in vain below?

Or do you want to tour this great human civilization from a thousand years ago with me?"

Windsor Della immediately understood Cohen's words, and the spirit of adventure in her bones gradually overcame her fear.

She broke free from Cohen's hand and regained her composure:

"I understand, how much time do we have left?"

The two stepped into the light circle, their figures disappeared, and they entered the interior of the research institute.

Cohen said:

"Three minutes, next time move faster, we should have more time left."

Windsor Della quickly asked:

"This research institute is so big, do you know where the most valuable place is?"

Cohen led Windsor Della straight inside:

"The most valuable thing is definitely the core research room, which is where they study the ancient elven civilization.

But we have white cards, our permissions are not enough, so we may have to force our way in."

Windsor Della instantly gained confidence and said:

"Leave this kind of thing to me, I just roughly looked around, there are no high-level transcendents here."

Cohen quickly said:

"You can take action, but try not to use extraordinary power.

The Nightmare Mist's illusion has a rule, once you use extraordinary power.

Your extraordinary power will be absorbed by the Nightmare Mist, thus forming a more powerful illusion.

The specific manifestation is that when you enter the research institute again, the lowest level of everyone will be the level you showed after using extraordinary power.

You don't want to face an entire research institute of gold-tier next cycle, do you?"

Windsor Della's expression froze and she said:

"Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Cohen said helplessly:

"It's not too late to say it now, you can use the Golden Body to subdue them if you encounter any situation.

But you also have to be careful, the power of the Arcane Empire should not be underestimated, I suspect they have weapons that can subdue high-level transcendents."

The two shuttled through the huge building at a rapid pace, and soon, Cohen stopped in front of a deep blue door.

Windsor Della frowned and asked:

"Are we there yet? So fast?"

Cohen suppressed the excitement in his eyes and shook his head:

"To get to the core location of the research institute, you have to go through many teleportation arrays.

You must have a complete array star map to find the exact address.

I observed it outside just now, there is one inside.

But there are several security personnel in the room, you will be responsible for luring them away later."

Cohen's eyes showed a hint of regret, it's a pity that this is an illusion simulated by the Nightmare Mist.

He can't use "Shadowmeld".

Because the essence of "Shadowmeld" is to enter the sub-dimension.

Once you enter the Shadow Plane and leave the main plane, it is equivalent to directly coming out of the illusion.

Otherwise, there would be no need for so much trouble, painstakingly enticing the Elf lady to come with him.

Windsor D'Lehdan had a dark expression, saying: "So, you brought me along as bait?

I am a special envoy of Her Majesty the Empress!"

Cohen answered without blushing or panicking:

"Big sister, this is a win-win cooperation.

I'm just a Bronze, do you think my little body can withstand their attacks a few times?

Moreover, you don't know where the star chart is.

Your Excellency Special Envoy, please rest assured, I certainly won't hog all the valuable things we find."

Windsor D'Lehdan snorted coldly.

Cohen urged Windsor D'Lehdan with his eyes.

Windsor D'Lehdan didn't hesitate and kicked the door open directly.

Seeing this, Cohen quickly hid far away, pretending to be a passerby watching the excitement.

Although he couldn't use extraordinary power, the Golden Body was still genuine.

Windsor D'Lehdan kicked the door to pieces.

Several security personnel in yellow uniforms in the room showed a moment of confusion on their faces when they saw a low-level researcher kicking open their door aggressively.

Windsor D'Lehdan's provocative words blurted out:

"A bunch of useless men, only knowing how to hide behind women, letting a woman charge ahead and fight to the death.

I hate you kinds of men the most, come out and fight."

Cohen felt that the Elf Miss was talking about him.

Several security personnel instantly showed anger on their faces, took out a weapon similar to a hand cannon from their chests, and rushed towards Windsor D'Lehdan.

Windsor D'Lehdan sneered and ran straight outside.

One minute left!

After the security personnel were lured away, Cohen dashed into the room.

He rummaged inside and finally found a formation star chart flickering with a faint blue light.

Looking at the intact star chart, Cohen's memories from his previous life floated up:

[Task Name: Find the damaged formation star chart.

Task Reward: 1000 experience points

Task Location: The 'Starfall Valley' ancient civilization ruins, inside the abandoned blue door.]

Cohen didn't expect that an ordinary item-finding task from his previous life would give him such great help today!

What place to study the ancient civilization of the ancient Elven race.

Those were all Cohen's lies to Windsor D'Lehdan.

Those ancient civilizations are indeed valuable, but they must be heavily guarded, and there must be Saint-level people guarding them.

The two of them simply couldn't break in.

Cohen's only purpose in finding the star chart was to find the control center of the space formation covering the entire research institute!

Cohen remembered that the thing that could control this space formation was a semi-divine artifact!

In his previous life, the star chart was impacted by the fall of the research institute and was not completely preserved.

Most of the key information was lost, and even the players couldn't find this semi-divine artifact.

Now it's different, he was actually brought by the Nightmare Mist to five minutes before the destruction of the research institute!

Then everything still has a chance!

Cohen quickly opened the star chart and started looking through it on the spot.

However, before he could even take a few glances, the shrill scream that almost pierced his eardrums during the first cycle came from underground.

Immediately afterward, Cohen only felt a huge force suddenly pulling his body downward, and his whole person instantly fell to the ground.

It was as if a pair of invisible giant hands were tightly pressing people in place, and the body became extremely heavy.

At the same time, the scenery outside the window began to fall rapidly!

Five minutes were up, and the research institute ascended!

Cohen endured the body that was about to fall apart and laboriously raised his head to look at the star chart.

Every movement seemed to be struggling in thick mud.

His gaze swept across the star chart paper, and finally, he discovered the control center of the magic formation, which was where the semi-divine artifact was located!

However, before he could be excited for long, the speed at which the entire research institute rose suddenly stopped.

Cohen suddenly felt his head buzzing, and his blood seemed to be surging upward.

His thinking also became chaotic.

Boom!

A strong sense of weightlessness came, and Cohen passed out directly.

… …

"Phew!"

Opening his eyes again, Windsor D'Lehdan had already turned her head to look at him.

The Winged Elf Miss's beautiful face was filled with anger:

"What are those hand cannons they were holding?

Why can't even my Golden Body withstand it?"

Windsor D'Lehdan rubbed her arm unhappily, as if she had been injured there just now.

Cohen smiled apologetically:

"I heard that the Arcane Empire combined technology with the extraordinary to create very powerful magic cannons.

A casual strike is equivalent to the Gold rank, you should pay attention next time, don't use your body to withstand it."

Seeing that the other party still wanted to continue speaking, Cohen quickly urged:

"Let's go quickly, don't delay, I already know where the laboratory for studying the ancient Elven civilization inheritance is."

These words were naturally to fool Windsor D'Lehdan again.

Cohen could barely even find the location of the magic formation control center, let alone have time to find any laboratory.

The path he was leading was to the place where this control center was located.

Although he already knew where the thing was, he still didn't know how to activate the semi-divine artifact.

He had to find a way to grab a living person and force them to tell him how to activate this semi-divine artifact.

However, a semi-divine artifact, although not as important as the Elven race's ancient civilization research laboratory, which would have a Saint-level guardian.

At least there would be a Legend-rank guard.

Even if the two of them didn't consider the next cycle and recklessly used their extraordinary power, they couldn't possibly be a match for a Legend-rank opponent.

What should he do?

Cohen walked and thought, leading Windsor D'Lehdan, and walked through several teleportation formations according to his memory, arriving at the westernmost corridor.

Just as he was about to walk down to the next teleportation formation, a middle-aged man in a purple uniform suddenly walked out of a room next to him and stopped them.

Cohen had already figured out the research institute's level divisions.

White coats are the lowest-level researchers.

Yellow uniforms are intermediate security personnel.

Purple uniforms are senior administrators.

As for black uniforms, it is very likely that they are the person in charge of this research institute.

A senior administrator stopped them, Cohen estimated the time, he couldn't waste time here.

He directly opened his mouth:

"Do it!"

This time, Windsor D'Lehdan had experience and didn't give the other party a chance to take out a weapon.

Her body shone with a brilliant golden light, the Golden Body unleashed its power, and she clenched her fist and slammed it towards the senior administrator.

However, the next scene that happened left the two of them dumbfounded.

A trace of astonishment appeared on the black uniform man's face, and he didn't dodge or avoid the fist that was coming at him.

Boom!

A shield with a misty blue light appeared out of thin air in front of the man.

The Golden Body's strike didn't cause the shield any damage.

Cohen's heart suddenly sank!

Bad!

Even intermediate security personnel have means to deal with the Golden Body, the senior administrator must have even more powerful weapons on him!

What is this shield?

Is it a kind of formation?

But why can't I feel any magic fluctuations?

Weird!

Without giving Cohen too much time to think, the senior administrator roared.

Two teams of fully armed intermediate security personnel poured out of the rooms on both sides, each with a gleaming hand cannon.

They instantly surrounded the two of them.

Windsor D'Lehdan was anxious and glared at Cohen angrily:

"This is what you call doing it?"

Cohen didn't have any embarrassed expression and said:

"Miscalculation, miscalculation, it's okay, if we die, we'll just start over!

We still have three chances!"

Saying that, he took out a dagger, and in the horrified gazes of everyone, smiled evilly and stabbed it into his heart.

"See you all later!"
