Chapter 961 Invading Illusions
Alice did not keep Leo waiting for too long. A few hours later, accompanied by people from the Bachelor's Association, she took Leo and Sylvia to the location of the intelligent core of Lanxi City.
Judging from various situations, the Bachelor's Association seems to attach great importance to Leo's contact with the intelligent core. Not counting the sergeants who accompanied him for surveillance and protection, the Bachelor's Association alone sent more than 20 people, three of whom were infected.
Wearing four purple ribbon badges, according to the status of the bachelor's association, these three people should all be senior bachelors who are outstanding in a certain exclusive field.
These bachelors of the Bachelor's Society are extremely proud of their identities, and naturally look down on Leo and Sylvia, even though Leo has mastered many things that they have not mastered, so much so that when Alice was about to introduce them to Leo, she
These people interrupted her with cold words and urged Alice to leave as soon as possible.
Alice also saw the mentality of these Bachelor Society members, so she did not consider introducing the two parties to each other. Then she led a group of people to a hidden entrance and exit at the edge of the defense zone. With the opened identity authority, she opened the entrance door and boarded the
A mobile platform is ready.
"Why not go from the city?" After boarding the platform, a senior bachelor asked with some confusion: "It's faster over there, and the equipment is newer."
As he spoke, the platform suddenly started. However, this platform did not use the more stable magnetic levitation power like other newly built platforms, but used the most primitive mechanical gear device, so the entire platform shook constantly when it suddenly started.
It seemed like it would collapse at any moment.
Among the people standing on the platform, Leo, Sylvia and Alice were still standing steadily on the platform, their feet motionless like tree roots rooted in the earth, while the others were shaken by the sudden vibration and shaking.
Everyone fell to the ground, even the sergeants who were escorting and monitoring people.
Immediately afterwards, the harsh metal friction sound from the old machine that had not been used for a long time resounded throughout the entire lift platform shaft. Even Sylvia and Alice couldn't help but cover their ears.
However, the harsh sound and shaking platform soon passed. Although there was still some noise around and the platform was shaking, it was no longer as intense as before. Everyone stood up from the ground and patted the venue.
, looking at each other awkwardly.
At this time, Alice also briefly answered the senior bachelor's inquiry and said: "You can directly reach the central area through this road. Taking that road also requires passing through the manager's city area and the upper conference room. They don't want to let outsiders
Close there."
As she spoke, she glanced towards Leo and Sylvia, and the senior bachelor said nothing more.
At this time, Leo paid no attention to the conversation between Alice and the senior bachelor. He was more focused on using the mental network to explore the surrounding situation.
After boarding the platform, the number on the platform and some vague steel-stamped slogans on the elevator shaft of the ruins platform allowed Leo to quickly find the corresponding elevator platform position from the structural diagram of the Prometheus in his memory.
As Alice said, this platform is numbered 001 on the Prometheus. It is one of the few central platforms on the spacecraft that can lead directly from the bottom to the top bridge area.
According to the markings on the drawing in Leo's hand, the main control computer of the spacecraft is located on the lower back side of the command bridge of the spacecraft. It is an independent cabin. During wartime, this cabin can be moved to the hinterland of the spacecraft and protected by other parts of the spacecraft. As long as
Unless the spacecraft is completely destroyed, the main control computer cabin will not be destroyed.
However, Leo did not take this spaceship drawing seriously, because when the later Earth Federation battleship merged with the Prometheus, each other's facilities were modified, so whether the main control computer cabin is still the original
The place is worth debating.
The platform did not rise very quickly. The group of people stayed in the lift shaft for about ten minutes before reaching the top of the lift platform.
After Alice opened the platform door, she led everyone into the bridge area where no one had been for a long time.
The structure of the bridge area is very simple. It is an enlarged patio-style building with a cylindrical hollow inner ring extending upward. The top is where the spacecraft bridge is. There are seven different elevators on the surrounding walls, leading to seven different elevators.
There are different floors, and the elevator in the middle leads directly to the top.
Perhaps because I haven't been here for a long time, a thick layer of dust has accumulated around me. Various facilities look like they have been corroded to the point of decay after tens of millions of years. Even the special alloy steel plates that make up the walls have deteriorated.
It has become brittle due to corrosion.
"Why is this place so badly damaged?" A senior bachelor frowned and asked displeasedly.
"No! The monitoring team only came here for routine maintenance two months ago." A sergeant who was the team leader said doubtfully, then squatted down and wiped the dust on the ground, and said: "It comes from the dust.
Look, it hasn’t been cleaned for almost two months, so the time can match it, but the damage here is probably what happened after that.”
As he spoke, the sergeant made a gesture, and all the sergeants responsible for protection took out their energy weapons and something similar to the church's holy symbol, placed it in their hands and shook it back and forth in the surrounding air.
At this time, the Holy Emblem in the hand of a sergeant suddenly flashed a faint light. Although this light was very weak and inconspicuous under the surrounding lights, it still attracted the attention of the sergeant who was paying attention to the emblem. Then he
He placed the Holy Emblem in the same place and shook it. After confirming that the light was not an illusion, he immediately shouted: "An abyssal object has sneaked in."
Hearing the sergeant's shout, the other sergeants immediately turned their heads and looked over there. However, when they turned their heads and focused their attention on the other side, they did not find that there was a block above their heads that was enough to include everyone below.
The luminous panel inside bulges out silently.
Then just when everyone's attention seemed to be drawn to the other side, the bulging object turned into a sticky object and fell from the top. It looked like it was going to catch everyone below.
.
This thing was silent from its appearance to its attack. Even when it fell, it did not cause any fluctuations in the surrounding airflow. It felt like it was a transparent phantom.
Seeing that no one had noticed the monster's attack and was about to be completely enveloped by the monster, a burst of bright light suddenly erupted from the top of Alice's head. This burst of bright light instantly illuminated the top of her head like sunlight.
The monster was wrapped up and burned to ashes before the sergeants looked up to see what was happening.
Alice suddenly used her power, which naturally alarmed the people around her. The sergeants and bachelors looked up one after another, just in time to see the last scene of the monster before it was completely burned to death.
"Damn it, it's a phantom insect!" A bachelor with extensive research on abyssal monsters immediately warned.
Hearing this warning, all the sergeants immediately gathered around the bachelor and watched the surroundings vigilantly. The leading sergeant said to Alice: "Your Holiness, this place should have been invaded by the abyssal phantoms. We don't have the necessary equipment on hand."
Cleaning tools, I'm afraid it may be dangerous to stay here any longer, I suggest..."
Before the sergeant could finish speaking, Alice raised her hand to stop the sergeant, then turned to Leo and Sylvia and asked: "What do you think?"
Leo and Sylvia looked at each other and seemed to be exchanging views. Then Leo came out and said, "I'll do it! There's no need to change the time."
As he spoke, Leo walked in front of everyone, glanced around, and used his spiritual vision to find the phantom insects that had transformed into various forms.
In fact, from the moment they entered here, Leo and Sylvia had already felt the weak abyss power around them, and also felt the source of these powers and what the hidden abyss monsters were.
Phantasmal insects, the lowest level monsters in the abyss, are usually regarded as daily food by some abyss monsters. However, if you underestimate this kind of monster because of this, then even top abyss predators like the Abyss Demon Dragon
You will also suffer a big loss.
Camouflage is the innate ability of this monster. Its camouflage could only be ordinary stones or moss at first, but as the phantom insect devoured more and more prey, its power became stronger and stronger, and finally
There are more and more types of abyss monsters that can disguise themselves. It is said that it can even perfectly disguise itself as the abyss dragon, abyss serpent and other existences at the top of the abyss. It can even disguise some of the abilities of the dragon and serpent.
From this aspect, its abilities are very similar to those of the Faceless Men, except that one is the prey at the bottom of the abyss, while the other is the predator at the top of the abyss.
In addition, in addition to the innate ability of camouflage, corrosion is also the most distinctive ability of the phantom insect. Almost anything will be corroded as long as it is exposed to the phantom insect for a long time. Therefore, during several abyssal tides, the advanced abyssal races with command will use this kind of ability.
The phantoms are used as corrosive bombs to attack the dome and ground turrets.
At first, this kind of attack was still very threatening. Many energy cannons were damaged and even unable to be used because of this corrosive ability. However, after learning about the habits of things, the bachelors quickly developed corresponding weapons.
Cleaning tools prevented the loss from expanding.
However, for Lanxi City, this weak phantom insect is a big headache, because the phantom insect has almost no abyssal power in its larval stage, so those in and around the defensive city to prevent the invasion of abyssal power,
All kinds of penetration arrangements are difficult to work on larval stage phantoms.
This makes it possible that in every abyss tide, there will be more or less some larval stage phantoms, avoiding all defenses, sneaking into Lanxi City, and then gradually growing up in Lanxi City, and finally attacking Lanxi City.
pose a certain threat.
For this reason, Lanxi City has a pest control corps that specializes in phantom insects. It is very rare for a place to be so severely corroded as it is now.
While figuring out the details of the phantom insects, Leo also easily discovered all the phantom insects hidden here through his spiritual vision.
Once the location of these phantom insects is exposed, their threat is reduced to the extreme, and any sergeant with an energy weapon present can easily deal with them.
However, Leo did not intend to teach others to solve this problem, because he did not want to waste time on such a trivial matter.
I saw that as he began to use the crystal magic he had mastered and improved during this period, crystals like ice flowers suddenly appeared out of thin air around his body.
This scene seemed very dazzling to others, and they could not feel the powerful power contained in these crystals at all.
Following Leo's mental control, these suspended crystals flew out in all directions instantly, and under the attention of everyone, they hit some ordinary-looking objects and walls around them.
And just when everyone was still wondering what Leo was doing, a very subtle but momentary scream suddenly came from the place where the crystals hit, and then a wave of power was generated, and an illusion emerged.
The form of the insect's body then shattered into countless crystal fragments, scattered in the air, and then fell to the ground like falling snowflakes and disappeared.
Except for Sylvia and Alice, everyone present was stunned by the scene that happened in front of them, especially the bachelors who were accompanying him, who looked at Leo with strange eyes like looking at a monster.
Before that, those bachelors just thought that Leo was also a foreigner who had mastered a lot of lost knowledge of Lanxi City from somewhere. They never thought that Leo had such a powerful extraordinary power.
Although those phantom insects are easy to deal with, dealing with so many phantom insects at once is definitely not something that ordinary people with extraordinary abilities can do.
And in the minds of these bachelors, a bigger question is that Leo is a bachelor who has clearly participated in the examination, but he has extraordinary power, which obviously goes against the common sense of the past countless years.
In Lanxi City, bachelors do have a special status and are the actual managers of Lanxi City. However, I don’t know if it is due to a curse. Before any official bachelor becomes a bachelor, no matter whether he has extraordinary power or not, after becoming a bachelor, he will have extraordinary power.
The power will weaken rapidly in a short period of time and eventually disappear. Even if you give up your status as a bachelor, the extraordinary power will not reappear in that person's body, so all the bachelors in Lanxi City are ordinary people.
But now, Leo has obviously broken this rule. He is not only a bachelor, but he can also use extraordinary power normally, which makes the bachelors feel extremely incredible.
