Quadruple split

"Woo——"

Bathed in the blood-red hazy light that was constantly making people feel uncomfortable and flickering at a high frequency every minute and every second, Yaya wrinkled her nose subconsciously and let out a few threatening growls.

"It seems that some bad accidents have happened here."

Peshi frowned slightly, looked around the unusually spacious "front hall" in front of her, which was full of broken walls and ruins, and asked casually: "Can you contact Xiaolu?"

"No problem."

Almost at the moment when Klaus's voice disappeared, Ji Xiaoge opened the friend list and confirmed the situation with Lujiang as soon as possible. He nodded vigorously and said seriously: "He said that Mr. Klaus is trying to adjust the equipment and it is expected that he can recapture our letter within 30 minutes..."

Peshi shook his head, waved his hand to indicate that Ji Xiaoge did not need to continue to convey it, and whispered: "Tell Klaus. Don't There is no need to bother with those things anymore. This place has become a strong interference area. Even the several monitoring instruments I brought with me have fallen into serious chaos. Although it is not impossible to recover, the most cost-effective idea is to find the source of interference from our side, rather than letting him make a large frequency adjustment. "

"Understood."

Hovering in the air, Ji Xiaoge nodded slightly, and two seconds later, he said seriously: "Okay, Mr. Klaus has turned off the recording equipment and is on standby for the time being."

Peshi nodded to indicate that she heard it, and then quickly walked to a long milky white table covered with cracks in front of her, and lowered her head to study.

The others were cautiously alert to the surroundings. Perhaps because the blood-red light was constantly flickering, everyone's spirits were subconsciously tense, and their expressions were also very solemn.

"It's safe here. If you hate the 'warning light', you can just look for a manual switch to restart the lighting equipment."

Pexi, who was studying the table, said without looking up, and then added: "There should be a rectangular metal plate with several concentric circles. Focus on checking the wall. There may be decorative shells outside those switches. It should not be difficult to find them if you look carefully."

As soon as these words came out, except for Largo and Gu Xiaole who continued to protect Pexi closely, everyone immediately dispersed to look for the switch. Even Wang Badan cursed while moving his body and looking at the wall, trying to turn off the dazzling red light that should theoretically be accompanied by a sharp explosion.

And just as Pexi said, the so-called switch was indeed not difficult to find. Less than three minutes later, Ji Xiaoge found the panel behind a severely faded decorative oil painting, and then locked the lighting switch with his professional knowledge and reset it.

Buzz——

The next moment, the light that almost illuminated the place as bright as day came on again, and everyone finally got rid of the anxious warning light and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, they were in a good mood to look around carefully and observe this "front hall" that seemed to have had a serious accident in Peschi's words.

There was no sign to prove its "identity". The furnishings in this hall were extremely simple. It can be seen that even if it had not encountered chaos, its style revolved around the concepts of simplicity and efficiency.

"Transit hall."

Peshi put his hands on the table in front of him and said to everyone seriously: "If nothing unexpected happens here, it should be the transportation hub of the front half of this ruins. I just noticed that there are almost three to five fast passages behind each wall, which can allow qualified people to move quickly over short distances through space magic, but judging from the fact that these passages are locked, there is probably a problem with the energy supply device deep inside."

Because it concerns the safety of [Loya], Lar, who was protecting Peshi next to him, immediately asked: "So you already know who uses this building for what?"

"Unfortunately, up to now, I have no idea about it."

Peshi shook his head and explained to Largo casually: "The reason why we can make a basic judgment is that most of the layouts of such facilities are not much different. After all, intelligent creatures have commonalities to a certain extent, so many simple basic designs are very similar. Understand?"

Largo immediately nodded silently, indicating that he understood and had no intention of asking more questions.

"The conventional channel is still there, but the top priority now is to restore contact. Klaus has a lot of equipment that can perform in-depth analysis. There is no reason for us not to keep them in use."

Peshi piled various equipment on the table in front of her, which she temporarily requisitioned as a workbench, and squinted her eyes to stare at the readings fed back by one of the small devices: "Now it is certain that the 'front hall' we are in is a huge source of interference. In other words, when this relic was not yet a relic, it not only fell into a state of alert after a very critical situation broke out, but also began to perform high-intensity shielding operations, isolating it from the outside world."

Jadka frowned and said puzzledly: "Logically speaking, if there is an accident that is difficult to solve inside the facility, such as a lot of staff being trapped, then shouldn't the most reasonable action be to ask for help from the outside world? Why should we cut off contact with the outside world?"

"In my personal judgment, this is mostly because one of the 'facility' or 'accident', or both, has some hidden secrets that are inconvenient to see."

Although his life experience is far less than that of Jadekar, Pexi, who has extremely rich experience in related fields, gave the answer without hesitation, and then added: "Not only that, although the shielding operation can isolate contact with the outside world , but it can also be regarded as a signal. After all, most of these facilities will have regular communication rules. If one of the parties suddenly loses communication, the relevant party will definitely come to confirm the situation, but..."

She frowned slightly and looked around at the empty ruins. After a while, she continued: "It's just that this place didn't seem to be able to wait for the arrival of 'reinforcements'."

Peixi's rare sad tone made the atmosphere a bit solemn, but soon, Gu Xiaole, who was standing next to her, broke the silence with a smile and said cheerfully: "So, our main purpose at this stage is to let the person who has already The shielding device that has been running for who knows how long has stopped operating and has restored contact with the outside world, right?"

"That's right."

Peixi nodded and said seriously: "The equipment we brought this time is a device with a very limited service life but very high power. If we can find a way to remove the shield, Klaus can theoretically be with us throughout the process. Stay in touch.”

Gu Xiaole nodded and asked: "Then what is the core issue now?"

"It is impossible to determine the specific location of the shielding device, and once the specific location is determined, you may not have the authority to turn it off."

Peixi picked up the device in his hand that was constantly refreshing the readings, and while slowly finding a direction, he explained: "So I have to continue to observe the shielding strength in a relatively primitive way, and then pass after finding the general direction." The core is in the position of the reverse push switch. The duration of the whole process will not be too short. You can simply take a rest. "

"Sister Xiaole, go and take a rest."

Largo, who knew very well how tiring personal protection is, smiled at Gu Xiaole and said cheerfully: "I have been led everywhere by this girl since I was a child, and I am used to it. Please take good care of yourself, and we will set off again later. hour……"

"Wait."

As a result, Gu Xiaole interrupted Largo with a thoughtful look on his face, then suddenly turned to look at Ji Xiaoge, who was on guard in mid-air, beckoning: "Little pigeon! Come on!"

"ah?"

Ji Xiaoge was stunned for a moment, then put away the [Cateline Valkyrie] in his hand and flew down, standing lightly in front of Gu Xiaole: "What's wrong, Miss Xiaole?"

"I remember you also have a lot of powerful devices on your body, right?"

Gu Xiaole blinked at the field engineer in front of him, who had completely regarded him as a flying scout, and said, "Sister Peixi is troubled at the moment because she cannot find the source of interference."

"Looking for the source of interference?"

The beautiful winged girl who hadn't paid attention to the conversation between the two just now shook her wings, and then took out a magic crystal board from her bag that God knows when Lu Wei gave her to play with, and then put two matching talismans into it. The Wen probe was thrown into the air, and his little hand lightly scratched the crystal plate a few times: "I'll give it a try!"

The next second, I saw the two shuttle-shaped probes emitting a faint blue light that quickly circled in mid-air, and flashed at a high frequency in front of everyone, and finally——

"Well, I think that's where it should be."

Ji Xiaoge lowered his head and glanced at the magic crystal board that suddenly refreshed a large amount of data. He raised his finger and pointed at the ceiling on the side of the entrance passage of the room: "The source of interference seems to be in the mezzanine about three meters up there."

"Woof——"

Yaya was the first to jump to the designated position. With two straight, healthy long legs, he jumped high with a little effort. Then he turned like a kite in the air and tried to insert the Altaïr Blade in his left hand on the ceiling. As a result, accompanied by a harsh sound of fighting, a blue-purple arc of light suddenly erupted between the cutting blade and the ceiling. Not only did it bounce off the cutting blade, it also put Yaya's body into a state of paralysis.

【Cunning·Blast】

Then a quick shadow flashed by, and Mo Tan, holding a dagger, had crossed more than ten meters in an instant, caught Yaya who was about to be pressed to the ground by a powerful force, and moved slightly While bending his legs to release his strength, he swung the [Akatsuki Ruthless Sword] with his backhand, using an extremely sharp sword light to shatter the two arcs of light that followed.

"Well...I owe you one."

He fell into a state of 'madness' almost as soon as he was hit by the arc of light. As a result, as soon as he released the [Wang's Claw], which would bring a great burden to the body in the current state, he was caught by Mo Tan and his teeth were pinched. He pursed his lips, murmured something in a low voice, and then said with some reluctance: "But even if you don't come, wow... bah bah bah, I'll be fine. I'm very powerful."

"Well, I know you are great."

Mo Tan smiled, and then put down his companion whose eyes had been coated with a layer of blood red, and his Common Language skills would be greatly improved in the mad state, and then he cautiously placed the [Dawn·Longyuan Stick] horizontally. The direction in which those arcs of light fell just now: "Just in case."

"Very handsome."

Yaya tilted his head and rubbed Mo Tan's shoulder twice, and then inserted the Altaïr blade in his left hand into the 'Tengu Sacred Clothes Box' behind his back, turning it into a [violator] with a huge gear connected to the end. ], gritted his teeth and said: "You protect me, I'll smash that ceiling!"

"Don't..."

"Wait a mininute."

At this moment, Peschi, who was dazed for a rare time, finally came to her senses and ran towards the two of them while loudly stopping them: "The security measures here are very comprehensive. In order to avoid a chain reaction, let me handle it."

Although her personality will become more "crazy" after entering the frenzy state, Yaya is also a very professional adventurer. So since this expert and one of her employers said so, she naturally did not insist on fighting with the ceiling, but silently inserted another Altaïr blade into the "Sacred Cloth Box", turning it into a [Meat Ripper] with a huge drill embedded on the top.

"Well, let me handle it."

After explaining to Yaya again with some concern, Peschi slightly raised the device in her hand that the Archaeologists Association spent a lot of money to order in the Artisan Town, but was crushed in terms of performance, confirming that this is indeed the place with the highest interference intensity.

Ji Xiaoge also flapped her wings and flew over at this moment, holding her tablet with an embarrassed expression and asked: "Is it here, Sister Peixi?"

"It is here."

Peixi nodded slightly, without looking at the tablet in Ji Xiaoge's hand, and said directly to the girl: "I need to find the switch of the interference device now. It should be searched one area at a time with folk methods, but..."

Ji Xiaoge immediately understood and asked enthusiastically: "Is there anything I can help with?"

"This kind of switch is generally remotely controlled, and it is unlikely to use a physical link or a tangible element array."

Peixi looked up at the ceiling that Yaya had hated, and said seriously: "According to my guess, the interference core area should hide a relatively stable parameter, and another place with similar parameters in this hall is the approximate location of the switch."

"Oh! So as long as I can find that location, it will be fine, right?"

"It should be impossible to do this, but you... eh?"

Peixi just said halfway, and suddenly widened her eyes.

At the same time——

"As expected of Ms. Peshi."

Klaus's clear and steady voice came from the equipment behind Largo, and his words were full of admiration: "Such a strong interference was dealt with so quickly."

"No, it's not me..."

Peshi shook her head subconsciously, and then felt someone pulling her sleeves. She turned around and found that Gu Xiaole was happily making a scissor hand gesture to her——

"I just took down that device with my spirit body!"

"Largo..."

"Hmm?"

"You should give me more commission..."

"Hey, that's what I said!"
