Chapter 42 Revisiting the Institute

The little boy was reluctant to leave.

It can be seen from the trembling corners of his mouth that he still has many problems.

But as the sun sets, the sky turns darker.

Night watchmen were back on the streets, and residents and children were asked to quickly return to their rooms.

The little boy waved his hand and asked, "Can we meet again?"

"If we are destined, we will meet again."

Late at night, when Li Ang, Pompeo and Alice set out on the road back to the Dawn Research Institute, Li Ang looked back and glanced at the declining but hopeful and vibrant Xiyuan Town.

'Once I leave this time, I will probably never come back again.'

Regardless of whether he can find clues in the research institute, Li Ang's next plan is to leave here first.

The territory of the Blackstone Federation in the south is densely populated and has frequent trade exchanges.

And the attitude of the people here towards dark creatures is surprisingly consistent - they must eradicate all evil.

If he can't find any useful information this time, Li Ang's idea is to go north.

Go to United Fund territory.

The north is vast and sparsely populated, and the attitudes of goblins, barbarians and Gypsy Roma towards dark creatures are not as tough as those in the south.

Even many Gypsy Roma people are obsessed with studying dark abilities.

Perhaps, it would be easier to find clues about forbidden life there.

The night was shrouded, and without the burden of the stroller and the child, the three of them walked much faster.

Near dawn, we arrived at the mountain where Shuguang Research Institute is located.

After drying for more than two days, the black smoke in the institute has dissipated.

Looking from the bottom of the mountain, nothing unusual can be seen.

Along the way, Li Ang was not idle either.

Practice all the skills you have mastered.

When you watch your proficiency improve and freely distribute points into your account, you will feel a sense of satisfaction that "nothing was wasted today".

[Tentacle Control], which has the highest proficiency now, will be upgraded to lv2 in five days.

Li Ang was quite curious as to what changes his tentacles would have after upgrading.

Pompeii checked the ruts on the mountain road, and when he came back he said firmly: "The ruts are still the same as those from two days ago. No one has been there."

Li Ang frowned slightly and said after a moment: "I hope I didn't think too much."

"We go up along the ruts and don't go through the jungle."

If you follow the original ruts, you won't leave any footprints, and the speed will be faster than walking through the jungle.

As the sun fully rose from the horizon, the three of them returned to the tunnel of the Dawn Research Institute on the mountainside.

After two days of heat dissipation, the tunnel has been completely filled with black ash.

You can still feel the warm wind blowing against your face in the tunnel.

This shows the ferocity of this fire.

The three of them walked into the research institute, and the trucks and cargo piles on the underground floor were all burned to ashes.

Only the black frame of the truck was left, and the corpses on the ground turned black and turned into withered bones.

The three of them went straight to the experimental area on the second underground floor.

"That day, when I left, all the experimental equipment was broken down. Someone deliberately destroyed these materials."

Leon informed Pompeii of the situation when he left that day.

Compared to himself who has no memory, Pompeo should be more familiar with the institute.

When I arrived at the research center, I saw the equipment that had been completely burned.

The exposed transistors were broken, the plastic shell of the CRT monitor was completely melted, the motherboards of the equipment and instruments were all scrapped, and the storage media could not be found intact.

In this situation, even if you invite a mechanical master from another world, you will be disappointed.

Pompeii pondered for a moment and said: "Looking at the scale of this fire, it is estimated that all electronic storage equipment is hopeless to repair. Let's go to Med's... doctor's living room and try our luck."

Pompeii said as he glanced at Alice and found that Alice was not disturbed by the name, so he continued.

There was black burnt ash everywhere, and the temperature gradually increased as you walked inside.

From the cold spring outside the tunnel, we have now transitioned to "being in a sauna".

The main color of the doctor's living room has also become black.

Everything was almost charred, and the glass of the lamp exploded under the high temperature and turned into pieces.

Leon and Pompeii searched the ruins of bookshelves and desks, but found nothing useful.

Pompeii sighed softly: "There is none here, so we can only go to the Chamber of Resurrection."

Li Ang thought for a while and could only nod.

"Alice, you and Uncle Pompeii, wait here."

Li Ang had no intention of letting Alice experience the scene of waking up again.

Who knows if Alice will think of anything after seeing the doctor's skeleton.

After all, this is a world with extraordinary power, and anything can happen.

"Li Ang, search carefully. Don't miss any nook and cranny in the ruins or on the bones."

Pompeii was outside the Resurrection Chamber, holding his head and shouting.

After entering the Resurrection Chamber, the first thing Li Ang did was to look for the parchment cover of the "Black Code" that had not been burned on the ground.

With just one glance, Li Ang found the cover that he had longed for.

All the pages inside had turned to black and gray, but only the parchment cover remained intact.

The silver skull and sheep's head made of metal on the spine of the book shimmered with a strange light under the weak light, without being affected at all.

Li Ang pulled hard, and the sheepskin cover was extremely strong.

With Li Ang's strength three times that of a normal person, it was not damaged or even deformed.

‘It seems that this parchment book cover is indeed a good thing. It may be helpful in searching for the "Black Code" and tracing its origin.'

Putting away the parchment cover, Li Ang fixed his gaze on Dr. Med, who was charred and charred.

As an evil doctor who has studied the "Black Code" for decades and studied the structure of forbidden life sutures, Dr. Med's hands are stained with countless blood.

The countless suture fragments in the underground tomb are a reflection of his sin.

Li Ang fiddled with it with his tentacles.

As the deepest part of the underground research institute and the earliest place where the fire broke out, after the doctor's skeleton was roasted by the fire, many parts of his body had burst and broken under the high temperature, and some weak places were directly burned to ashes.

But soon Li Ang discovered something strange.

Because when the bones were turned over, something with a completely different color from the bones fell from the ribs, where the heart was.

It is only the size of a fingernail and black in color.

Li Ang swept under the skeleton with his tentacles for a long time before he found it.

After wiping it casually, the crystal texture is soft and completely black, looking like irregular obsidian.

Just when Li Ang was curious about why this crystal appeared in the skeleton, the system interface suddenly popped up in front of him.

[Discover dark energy crystal cluster x1, which can enhance dark attributes and abilities after use. Do you want to use it? Yes/No]

Dark energy crystal cluster?

Could this thing be a substance obtained by Dr. Med's long-term immersion in the "Black Code", accumulation of a large amount of dark energy, and refining after death?

Otherwise it would be difficult to explain why this thing was found inside the skeleton.

Looking at the prompts from the interface, Li Ang chose to use it without hesitation.

At the same time, the violent hum of a truck engine suddenly came from the foot of the mountain.

A mighty motorcade advanced along the winding mountain road and entered the tunnel of the research institute...
