Chapter 398: important clues

The void will always be associated with astronomy.

In the corridor on the fourth floor of the library, there are all kinds of very luxurious decorative ornaments, such as the complex alchemy astronomical telescope, the "Antikythera device" with pure gold gear structure, and the complex and artistic "Edmonds Planetarium". , and some people who don't understand the effect have practiced the golden instrument.

Many of these are classic astronomical instruments that are still in use today. Even after countless years, the shape has not changed much.

Su Lun was walking in the corridor, and along the way, she could see the treasures in the glass window who wanted to go.

Except for those "antique scrolls" and "codexes" that are collected like antiques, most books are carefully engraved collector's editions. The gilded book cover is neatly placed on the bookshelf, which looks very harmonious with the splendid carved wall decorations around it. The pavement has a thick intellectual atmosphere, but it has the unique luxury of the Royal Academy.

Presumably because of the chessboard in his hand, Su Lun entered every room on this floor unimpeded.

Because he was worried about triggering some bad changes, he did not take any of the classics into his pocket for the time being.

Finally, he found the archives of the academy and walked in.

The archive room looks larger than the outside, about three or four hundred square meters. Obviously, the technology of space folding is used inside to expand the original space by two or three times.

As soon as I saw it, I saw the dense kraft paper portfolios piled up into more than ten bookshelves as high as three stories. In order to facilitate access to the archives on the upper floor, it is also specially equipped with a movable mahogany staircase.

Each shelf has a breakdown by category, and there are labels on the archives.

Here you can investigate the list of all personnel, personnel transfers, and records of major events in the college.

He's going to find the "Herbert Hirbley" on the investigative file, and here's where it might be.

Su Lun looked at the dense files and smacked his lips: "There are so many files, but it's hard work."

And time is limited.

Under normal circumstances, he only has about five hours, and then he will usher in the "Void Invasion".

Relying on him alone, no matter how diligent and diligent it is, it is absolutely impossible to read the files here in a few hours.

Thinking of this, Su Lun double-surgeon Yin Yi pinch, "Space Alchemy Void Whale Swallow."

The blue-black six-pointed star formation lit up under his feet, he looked at the space black hole rapidly condensed in his hand, and muttered in his heart: "Sure enough, the space energy fluctuations in this academy are dozens of times stronger than the outside world, and the efficiency of casting spells is also faster. multiple times."

This is definitely a big plus for space professionals.

It was also one of the most important reasons why Su Lun felt that this cursed space was relatively less dangerous to him.

Here, his spatial ability will be several times stronger than outside.

In a blink of an eye, the black hole in his hand turned into an elliptical hole with a height of a person, and a figure rushed out.

His two disciples, Kama and Albuquerque, as well as Tani and Lolota, want to join in the fun and see the world, and there are all kinds of crew members in the Dawn Regiment who are talented in "fast reading", a total of more than 100 people.

As soon as these people came out, they almost filled the entire archives.

"teacher!"

"Mr. Sullen!"

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Su Lun had already communicated with them using consciousness before. As soon as these people came out and said hello to Su Lun, they did not delay at all, and immediately threw themselves into the task of flipping through the files on the bookshelf.

Su Lun himself untied the eight-armed spider spear, and flipped through the files at a glance.

His goal was clear, targeting some old archives.

He speculates that since "Herbert Hirbore" can issue a warning that there is a problem with the space channel, then the identity is definitely not simple.

And, the truth is, "Void Invasion" also really happened.

Then the question arises, others didn't find it, why did he find it? This means that either he has better abilities than others, or his status is not ordinary, and he can access some secrets that others cannot.

So Su Lun targeted the files of some "senior staff".

......

Su Lun knew that he had entered this library, and it was absolutely impossible that no one would know.

At least some admin-level npc must know what he's doing here. But no one has stopped him so far, which gave Su Lun the confidence to summon the partners of the Dawn Regiment to help.

In a monarchical society, the power of the king is paramount.

Su Lun has [Steinitz's Chessboard] in his hand, and his identity is a genuine investigator, so even if the senior management of the academy knows that he is investigating the files here, there is a high probability that they will not stop it, and they will not dare to stop it.

He didn't notify the people in the academy and went directly to the fourth floor to investigate. Those NPCs with low intelligence levels will probably acquiesce that he is a "secret investigator" and cannot trigger too complicated responses.

Of course, doing so does have some small risks.

This "Toxter Void Royal Alchemy Academy" might once have had a ninth-order, or even stronger professional. But at least judging from the current information, even that dean only has about seventh-order combat power left.

But the dawn regiment is not without the strength of a battle.

After trying it, the other party has not come out, so this risk is not a risk.

......

When there are more people to do things, more than 100 people help to go through the files together, and they quickly go through it roughly.

No one has ever found any files with the name "Herbert Hirbler" in it.

Su Lun was not at all surprised.

Since no information can be found in the academy, it is normal to find it in the archives.

What he was looking for was some relevant clues.

He guessed that the name is very feasible.

Not now, there is a high probability that it has been "erased".

This is an extraordinary world, and there are indeed some special methods that can directly erase all relevant text, but bugs have also appeared.

Archives can be erased, but it is impossible to completely erase "his" social relations and some activity tracks in this world.

as predicted.

After about two or three hours of browsing, Su Lun was still carefully checking the files of those faculty members. At this moment, Albuquerque, who was looking through the old archives in the corner, found something and whispered: "Teacher, take a look, I found something that may be what you are looking for."

Su Lun walked over and asked, "What did you find?"

Albuquer pointed to a file and said directly: "Teacher, this is a file called 'Pedro Rona', he is the second student of the year of the comprehensive assessment of the college in the year 3351 of the Tarcoru calendar. At the same time, according to the records, I found the file records of the third to the tenth place. However, I searched all the files of the same year, and I did not find any relevant information about the first place. Moreover, I also watched the assessment of that year. According to the archives records, the second place assessment score is 754, and the first place is 996. It's almost a crushing gap."

Having said this, he paused for a while, took out another file with the spider spear behind him, and said his analysis: "It stands to reason that such a 'genius' will never be an unknown person. Even if it is Any accident should also be recorded. Moreover, this person’s research direction is very special. I saw a name mentioned in the ninth place’s writing about the research topic he won. It’s called “On Void Gene” The feasibility of integrating into the human body". This seems to be the same thing as the [Void Gene Medicine] you mentioned earlier."

"..."

Su Lun listened to his disciple's narration, with a certain look in his eyes.

Albuquerque's [Seven Orifices and Exquisite Heart] talent has an excellent ability far beyond others in observation and analysis. Those files that were ignored by others and had been briefly read, he captured the key points in one fell swoop.

Su Lun took over the file in Albuquerque's hand and found that his disciple's thinking was completely fine!

"The first place 30 years ago should have been the 'Herbert Hirbler'."

Su Lun's eyes turned frequently, and he finally felt that he had found the key to breaking the game.

There is a strong research ability, which satisfies the conditions.

Moreover, it is also determined that this person's name was erased by some special means.

"Well done, Albuquerque!"

Now that the time is pressing, Su Lun didn't say much, and said instead: "Don't worry about it in the archives for the time being, everyone can help you find all the classics related to the 'Void Gene Project' in the library!"

He felt that since he was a genius, he should have left more clues.

"Yes, Mr. Suren!"

When everyone heard this, they all left the archives.

......

This "Toxter Alchemy Academy" is an academy specializing in the study of the void.

Almost everyone here is a space warlock.

But if the alchemist wants to integrate the Void Colony, the problem of "distortion" cannot be avoided.

Therefore, the academy studies various topics to prevent distortion and improve the affinity of the void.

Many results have also been studied.

People from the North Sea Fleet have actually discovered clues before. They found a simple description of a [Void Gene Potion] in the few words of some classics.

That is a kind of "crazy subject" that allows people to gain super Void affinity.

It is not some kind of temporary boosting potion, but directly integrates human beings into the void and permanently becomes a half-void bloodline creature.

But because there is no exact information.

It may be a subject conjecture, or it may be a research project with results.

But Suren had been injected with "x serum" before, and he believed it was feasible.

This is also one of the most important goals for him to enter this cursed space this time. If the potion is really there, he needs it himself. Qianjo just lacks some affinity fusion fifth-order breeding equipment, and the rest of the dawn group also need it.

If you can dig deep into this clue, you must not let it go.

So Su Lun saw the file just now and immediately connected the clues.

That "Herbert Hirbore" was most likely the "first place" in the student's assessment thirty years ago.

Moreover, as long as such talented students do not leave, they are usually high-level academies in the future.

Su Lun rummaged through the personnel files in the years following the annual assessment.

Only then did I discover that the Void Student Vice President usually comes standard with six, but in the past few years from 3360 to 3365 of the Tarkolu calendar, there were only five.

Seeing this, Su Lun is almost certain that Herbert is an erased vice president!

......

The number of people is powerful, and it didn't take long for all the books on the "Void Gene" topic of the entire fourth floor to be brought over.

None had that name written on it.

Moreover, it seems that there is no book that is the same as that subject.

But Su Lun didn't give up and checked every book himself.

The more talented you are, the more you like "showing off your skills".

When the ancient great alchemists recorded certain secrets, they usually used special encryption methods. The dawn age was almost the pinnacle of cryptography.

But cryptography is almost always time-sensitive, and most encryption methods have now been deciphered.

Suren himself is proficient in at least hundreds of types, covering almost all encryption methods known in the modern era.

"The Blood Gene Analysis of the Void Manta Ray", "The Dual Attribute Genetic Inheritance of the Void Electric Eel", "The Magical Gene"...

Su Lun looked at it one by one, and the speed was very fast.

But for fear of missing key information, almost every book has to be turned to the end.

His left eye all-seeing pupil scanned the books line by line, but saw a lot of content that showed "special encrypted information".

However, it was nearly an hour, and after flipping through one or two hundred copies, there was no gain.

Su Lun didn't panic.

Even if the "Void Invasion" broke out, now with this library, it is basically "guaranteed". If it doesn't work, I will find a way to come next time.

But at this time, he saw a book called "Void Zerg Research".

It doesn't matter what the author's name is, it can't be "Herbert Hirbler" anyway.

This is a manuscript, which is densely filled with various words when opened, as well as some hand-drawn drawings of the Void Zerg, which are very detailed.

On the Void Plane, the Zerg are almost at the bottom of the food chain, and few people will study those low-level creatures. This book records hundreds of Void Zerg species in great detail. And there are some interesting alchemy lab records in the back.

This was originally a very normal book, but Su Lun looked at it, and there was a prompt of "encrypted information" in his eyes.

Then he interprets it according to the decoding method, and interesting content appears.

The notes are as follows:

"Void zerg are low-intelligence creatures? Most probably, but some are very terrifying beings."

"Ants are not scary to elephants, but they are organized. I love this proverb."

"I researched the Void Zerg and found a problem. Our previous understanding seems to be wrong. Some Void Zerg can not be counted as an individual by a single one, but a group of thousands of them is counted as one. 'Individuals'. They have a core 'brain' that directs the group of bugs to do certain complex commands that they simply can't do alone. I've named it the 'mother bug'."

"Reproductive isolation between heterogeneous organisms is actually not complete isolation, but because a suitable 'bridge' has not been found. The more advanced the organism, the smaller the scope of reproductive isolation. The fundamental reason is that the gene chain is sufficiently complex and complete. . Then, what if I use a high-level life form as a carrier to establish a connection between two low-level alien creatures that I don't want to do? For example, use some kind of god-level life form to connect humans and void creatures. Gene chain ..."

"I succeeded in the first stage. I tried various void genetic materials, and finally chose a 'void mother worm's marrow fluid', which is a rare god-level material..."

"..."

When Su Lun saw these contents appearing on the note, he knew that he had found it right.

His eyes flashed fiercely, and he said to himself, "This must be that Herbert's note!"

It is another very powerful encryption method. The content of the notes is completely readable content, but it hides what the author wants to leave behind.

Although this note does not record a detailed research report, it records the truth of "falling to sleep in the void".

Su Lun frowned as he wrote down the content.

"I have calculated that it is possible that there will be almost 100% of 'mother worms' in such a group of billions. I notified the dean and explained that the 'Kate's Void Zerg' appeared recently near the space channel. The higher consciousness may even exceed the **** rank. The plane channel must be closed, otherwise it will bring unexpected disasters. But my proposal has not attracted the attention of the high-level empire. The void plane is the main source of the empire's financial revenue. The wealthy congressmen in this channel have brought strong resistance. Those who are greedy for money will not easily give up the faucet that flows out of 'black gold'. They deliberately lowered the danger rating of my notification, which dragged on for several years. The investigation of the empire The regiment hasn't come yet. I know, until the parliament decides, I'm afraid disaster is inevitable. Hey, greedy and stupid noble..."

"I'm distorted, both physically and mentally... I've also wanted to die. But I prefer to keep my research. It turns out that I was right, 'Void Gene Elixir' It can transform the human bloodline and greatly improve the affinity of the human void. As long as the side effects of that little bit are solved, I already have an eye on it. Unfortunately, because of those side effects, the hostile factions in the academic circle do not support closing the channel, because that would make the entire The academy lost everything. They launched a violent public attack on me. I lost everything. But I don't care about that. I only care about running out of time, I want to research the ultimate [Void Gene Elixir]..."

"Later I realized that it wasn't an accident, but someone who manipulated my experimental data, and I was distorted. It doesn't matter who is who, after all, the people who can approach my laboratory are the ones I trust the most. Friend. I'm really not interested in power struggles, why should I be involved..."

"I might be locked up and sent to 'Lab Zero'. But I told the Academy anyway."

"Even if I become a monster, I love this world and alchemy."

"..."

Su Lun read the contents of the note.

All in three sentences.

A genius who developed a [Void Gene Potion], and was killed by his academic opponents, his name and honor were wiped out;

It was probably a "warning" issued more than ten years ago, saying that there is a problem with this space plane.

Then, until now, the investigation team came.

......

"So, this is the main will of this cursed space?"

After Su Lun read it, she frowned and fell into deep thought.

The information obtained by the North Sea Fleet before, almost all pointed to that the dean might be the "master will" of the cursed space.

As a result, now that I got this note, I found out that "Herbert Hibbert" is.

And now there is a new clue, which is "Lab Zero".

Going there is very likely to get [Void Gene Potion], as well as more space breeding equipment, materials, and even crack the entire cursed space.

Good things, it looks like they are all in the experimental area. .

But the problem is that the laboratory area is now a "t-level" area, and it has never been alive, which makes Su Lun very tangled again.

At present, the "Void Invasion" broke out in less than an hour. After thinking about it, Su Lun still didn't plan to take the risk.

Now that you have these clues, go back and sort it out, and you may not be able to think of some other plans next time.

After reading those books, Su Lun put the summoned people into the small void world again.

He planned to wait for the battle, and then take the entire fourth-floor collection of the library in one pot.

There was still an hour left, and Su Lun had nothing to do, so he wandered around the four floors.

Just now I was looking for the file, but I didn't look closely at the things here. He plans to take a closer look now, so as not to loot for a while, if there are any missing treasures, it will be bad.

From large crystal chandeliers, murals, and sculptures to small doorknobs and teacups, each item has been identified.

Looking at it, I really found a lot of alchemy objects with special effects.

Even found several MiGs.

However, after Su Lun opened it with the chessboard, he found that there was nothing inside.

But not incomprehensible.

He guessed that there is a high probability that only the dean has the authority to open those dense grids. Therefore, the vice president knew that there was this hidden compartment, but he couldn't open it, and he didn't know what was in it.

It also confirmed whether the main consciousness of this cursed space is the dean.

Su Lun was also happily looking for "little surprises", thinking that he was going to stay here until the battle began.

Suddenly, the All-Seeing Eye once again identified a "space door" on the ceiling at the end of the corridor.

Just like going up from the third floor to the fourth floor before, you need to identify permissions.

......

Above the head is a grand, gorgeous and mysterious starry sky ceiling. If you take a closer look, you will find that the stars are all colored gems and magic nuclei.

Luxurious and charming, but nothing special on this fourth floor.

Su Lun looked up at the information identified in front of him, with a cautious expression on his face, and said in his heart, "Is there a fifth floor in this library? Will it open and meet an old guy?"

He thought that he must have been discovered, and UU reading had no psychological burden, so he took out the chessboard and activated the permissions again.

The nine-pointed star alchemy array lit up, and Su Lun watched the light and shadow of the starry sky ceiling swirl for a while, and then turned into an exit that seemed to go to outer space.

For a moment, Su Lun only felt that there was no gravity, and the whole person floated up.

Looking at the dense buildings in the space again, Su Lun's pupils shrank suddenly, and he was shocked: "T-level test area?!"

He never expected that there was an entrance on the fourth floor of the library that was directly connected to the test area in the plane passage.

"That is to say, the plane passage was closed after the 'Void Invasion'. But can you actually enter and exit the fourth floor of the library through this space door?"

At this moment, Su Lun's heart of adventure, which had been extinguished, suddenly burst into flames.

ps. No. 1 for a ticket~
