Chapter 54 Let's Run

(Today... I don't have the energy to PS, but I still have to work hard: friends who pass by ask for collection and recommendation, your support is my greatest motivation)

"Huh, I'm so tired." Vivian let out a long sigh, looking at the box that had been opened for more than halfway, and said, "No, I want to rest for a while to restore my magic."

"No problem?" Catherine patted Vivian on the shoulder: "If we are too tired, we will take a day off tonight and continue tomorrow."

"No, just take a break." Vivian wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked around for a week and asked, "Why are you three? Lina also ran away?"

"Well, Lina and Penis ran to the next door for an adventure together," Catherine smiled bitterly, "You don't know her curiosity."

"Let's go and have a look, we're going to have a rest anyway. Nicole, Rachel, come together, it's too cold here." Vivian called the other three people out of the freezer and shouted in the corridor in the core area: "Where are you two hiding?"

"The third door on the left." Lina's voice faintly came: "Come on, we have found something fun."

"I just said she was going to explore, and she must not be doing a serious business." Catherine shrugged and walked over and replied loudly, "What have you found?"

"There are several mirrors where you can see the cave outside." Lina said excitedly: "It's very interesting."

"Well, it should be the surveillance system of the Mage Tower, the solidified Mage Eye and Projection technique, that is the core control room." Vivian was suddenly stunned, ran a few steps and ran into the control room, shouting while running: "Hey, Lina, don't touch it casually, your control room is there."

Lina turned around and glared at Vivian who ran in panic: "I'm not an idiot, how could I touch it casually? And I know this is the control room, Panis said just now. By the way, Vivian, sister, please call her to see it. There are things she is interested in here."

"What's the matter?" Catherine then arrived at the control room. As soon as she entered the door, she heard Lina's words and came over to ask.

Lina pointed to the images on one of the mirrors: "Look."

"The image is so clear. It's so dark outside, but from here you can't feel the darkness at all." Seeing the influence on the mirror, Catherine exclaimed first.

"The solidified mage's eye can see through the darkness and is one of the defense mechanisms of the mage tower." Vivian adjusted a few times on the base where the mirror was installed, and the picture in the mirror was magnified.

"Hiss, are they?" Catherine took a breath and opened her eyes to look at the scene in the mirror. The images of two people were reflected in the mirror. Both of them were wearing hooded mage robes. One was tall and fat, and looked 150 or 60 kilograms, while the other was very thin and covered by the loose mage robes. It was impossible to see whether they were men or women. Under the cover of the hood, they could not see the faces of the two people clearly. They could only see that they were holding a few crystals in their hands and carefully put them into different small boxes.

"What are they doing?" Lina asked in confusion: "What crystal is that?"

"I don't know." Vivian leaned into the mirror and carefully observed the crystals in the hands of the two people: "I have never seen such black crystals."

"Wait." Catherine suddenly pulled Vivian back from the mirror and said urgently: "Pull the picture away, something is wrong around."

"What's wrong?" Vivian glanced at Catherine strangely, adjusted the magic circle to pull the picture into a long view, and suddenly exclaimed: "What's going on with these people?"

In the picture, there are eight people lying upside down around the two of them. The eight people dressed differently, but they have one common feature. Judging from the equipment on them, they are obviously adventurers. I carefully distinguish the clothes of the two of them. They were the two people who were commissioned to rescue before entering the cave.

"Sister, look." Lina suddenly grabbed Catherine's hand: "Look at their faces." The eight people's faces also have one thing in common, that is, they are extremely old. Everyone's hair is pale and dry, their faces and hands are also skinny, and their skin is covered with old folds, just like eight human elderly people who live in their 100s.

"What's going on with them?" In the dark environment, the mysterious mage, the strange black crystal, the eight adventurers who have become extremely old and weak. This strange picture made Lina, who had been adventure for many years, shivered, and her voice was a little trembling: "Lisa or Lisa, she has never said that their leader and mage are so old."

"Their lifespan was taken away." Vivian swallowed and said nervously: "I have never heard of such a ability that can directly remove a person's lifespan. It's so terrible, it's even more terrifying than killing the other party directly. There is such magic in the world? It's impossible, there is no record or legend that there is such a saying."

"I can't stand it anymore." Catherine punched the metal wall hard: "Vivian, where is this place? I want to go and save people."

"Sister, calm down." Lina grabbed Catherine who turned around and was about to leave: "This is just a picture. If you want to go over, you may have to go around in a big circle. When you get there, the other party will have left long ago."

As they were talking, the two people in the picture began to move. The two people walked to the two weak old men who were lying on the ground, raised their feet without hesitation, and stepped heavily on the heads of the two victims. The skull, which became crisp because of the old age, burst into pieces, and the red blood and white brain matter were splattering around.

"Bastard, bastard." Catherine was so angry that she was furious that her hands were clenched tightly. Her fingernails deeply stimulated her palms but she didn't notice it. Her eyes stared at the backs of the two people in the picture, and wanted to keep their backs in her heart: "I will never let these evil people go."

The two people in the picture did not know that someone was staring at them, nor did they know that they had been listed as a list of mortal enemies by a knight with a strong sense of justice. After stomping eight heads on their own, they sorted out the package and disappeared from the observation range of the Eye of the Mage.

"Sister, don't be impulsive." Vivian whispered to Catherine: "You can't catch up with them when you go out now. It's better to keep this account in mind. Their behavior is very special, and there will always be flaws in the future. Then we will settle the accounts together."

"I know, I'm fine." Catherine's voice had calmed down, and her clenched fists slowly loosened. After taking a few deep breaths, she shook her head: "Don't worry, I won't be impulsive. I've remembered them, and I will track them down anyway in the future."

"It's best to think about it this way." Vivian smiled reluctantly, and was also affected by this incident. The joy of finding the power of life was diluted a lot. Yixing looked at the other projection mirrors and asked, "Lina, isn't Penis with you?"

"I'm inside." Panis's voice came from a small suite inside the control room: "I'm looking at the map of all the magic supply pathways of this institute."

"Have you found anything?" Vivian asked casually without going in.

"A section of the path flashes blue light. If I remember correctly, it should mean that the path has a fault and cannot deliver magic properly." Panis asked.

"Yes, this is to remind the controller of the mage tower to repair it in time." Vivian replied loudly.

"That is to say, there are problems with the kitchen part, the three rooms in the R&D area, and the four experimental materials cells in the experimental field." Panis counted one by one and said, "None of them are the key places."

"Well, those places have no effect on us." Vivian continued to adjust the pictures in other mirrors, trying to confirm the surrounding environment: "Don't worry about them."

"What about the red one? Does it mean that the path has been completely damaged and cannot be repaired? My former mage friend never mentioned that there will be a red flash in the magic path diagram of the mage tower." Panis asked.

"No, red is more troublesome." Vivian still lowered her head and replied absent-mindedly: "The red area means that the ultimate defense measures have been activated there, and all members of the Mage Tower must evacuate immediately."

As Vivian finished speaking, a strange silence suddenly appeared on the field. During the silence, Vivian suddenly jumped up and rushed into the interior suite, whispering: "What did you say? The red flash?"

Penis pointed to a path diagram: "The entrance part, red flashes."

"Damn it." Vivian saw an ominous red light flashing on the path map. There was a prompt bar under the path map. The progress had been more than halfway through, so she couldn't help but curse loudly: "It must be that bastard monster. When he was dying, he didn't know how to activate the final defense."

"What is the final defense measure?" Several other people who found that the situation was wrong also surrounded him. Catherine asked Vivian: "What will be the effect? ​​Will the more than one hundred magic puppets at the entrance be activated at the same time?"

"No, those puppets can only be activated from the security zone, and activation requires a password. No one can activate those things today." Vivian shook his head and said, "The final defense of each mage tower is different. I don't know what the effect is here, but it is certain that the final defense cannot be reversed after it is activated, and everyone must evacuate immediately. The final defense of many mage towers is self-destruction, and I hope this is not the case here."

"It shouldn't be a self-destruction," said Panis. "Look, if it were self-destruction, all the channels of the entire institute should flash red light together, but now there is no, only one section of the entrance..."

Halfway through, Panis suddenly stopped and looked at each other with Vivian for a few seconds. Vivian suddenly screamed: "Bastard, I finally know why he wanted to destroy the teleportation array before he died, this cunning beast."

Panis said nothing, picked up Vivian and let her sit on her shoulder, and picked up her backpack and rushed to the door.

"Sister." Vivian shouted with joy on Pannis's shoulder: "Run, everyone runs together, the entrance is about to be destroyed. If the entrance is destroyed, we will be locked up here and we will never be able to get out. Run quickly, it's only more than an hour."

Catherine was stunned and started running with Pannis, waving to Nicole and Rachel while running: "Come on, don't fall behind, if you fall behind, you will be left here, hurry up, run ahead of me, hurry up."

Lina was completely stunned at this moment and screamed: "Can't leave, my friends."

"Idiot Lina, have you forgotten what I told you before?" Panis had already run to the door of the control room. At this time, in order to wait for everyone to stop, Vivian turned around and scolded Lina: "It's no problem, go quickly, idiot."

"Really?" Lina's eyes lit up, and she no longer struggled with the books she called her friends. She directly recited silently and strengthened her physical energy, and quickly caught up with Panis's footsteps.
