The moment the mental power invaded the wall and was blocked, Cheng Lin couldn't help but let out a sigh in his heart.
In his perception, there seemed to be a layer of spiritual energy barrier inside the wall, making it difficult for his spiritual power to penetrate deeply.
After a moment of hesitation, Cheng Lin turned off his "synaesthesia" and did not try to increase his strength and force the impact.
Although he can try to break through this barrier through mental storm, this is obviously some kind of device inside the institute. Thinking about it from another perspective, if he is the one who arranges this barrier, he will definitely consider the situation of someone forcibly breaking through, and finally
Good backup.
If you act recklessly, you may trigger the alarm device.
After giving up the invasion, Cheng Lin became even more confused.
"What exactly is stored here? It's actually protected."
After thinking for a while and having no clue, he settled down and stood outside the door waiting. Not long after, a familiar figure appeared at the other end of the corridor. He had gray hair, a ruddy and healthy face, and wore glasses. His eyes were soft but sharp.
He is full of scholarly aura.
It was Professor Wu Mingxun. He was wearing a white coat and black leather shoes with shoe covers... It looked like he had just arrived from a certain laboratory.
"Dean Wu."
Cheng Lin took the initiative to say hello.
Then Wu Mingxun suddenly pushed up the pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose and smiled: "I heard before that you were promoted to the fourth level. I didn't dare to believe it. But today I saw that it was indeed the case. Although it's already late, I still congratulate you.
.”
Cheng Lin hurriedly said a few polite words. Fortunately, Professor Wu was not a person who liked to talk too much about official talk. He was still a scholar at heart. He pulled Cheng Lin and chatted for a few words before getting down to business:
"I invite you here this time because there is a very important item that needs your ability to repair."
"I wonder what magic weapon you want to repair?"
Cheng Lin asked curiously.
Unexpectedly, Professor Wu shook his head mysteriously, "To be precise, it is not a 'magic weapon' but a device."
device?
The young man in front of him looked confused and didn't understand what he meant. Professor Wu smiled slightly, took out an access card from the pocket of his white coat, and then pasted it on a black card on the right wall of the silver-white alloy door next to him.
Tile position.
Then I heard a slight "beep" sound, and the closed door opened silently. It was actually a sliding door.
As the door opened, Cheng Lin's eyes finally came into view with many scenes inside.
This is indeed an open space similar to a gymnasium. There is no ceiling between the first and second floors. The entire height is more than six meters. The ceiling is lit up the moment the door is opened, and it is densely covered with white light tubes.
The interior has solid wood floors, which are very clean, but not spotless. Although the space inside is huge, it does not appear empty, because there are many objects scattered around the interior, including some strange-looking instruments with unknown functions, most of which are exposed to the air.
A small part of it is covered with white cloth and has never been used.
There is also an office desk made up of two desks next to the wall. Two computers are placed on it, both with black screens. There are also a lot of drawings scattered on the table. They are printed on A3 paper and look similar to engineering parts drawings.
, but upon closer inspection, they are completely different.
The most eye-catching objects in the room are some tall objects covered with white cloth. The shortest one is over two meters. The tallest one is located in the center of the room, placed on a strange jade base. The height is visually estimated to be about three meters.
More than one meter wide and covered with white cloth, it is reminiscent of an artistic statue.
"here it is……"
Cheng Lin stood at the door and stared at the room in surprise.
Wu Mingxun smiled slightly, walked in, and said, "Come in and tell me, this will be your workplace from now on."
"Should I wear shoe covers? Or change clothes?" Cheng Lin hesitated.
"No, there is no dust-free requirement here," the silver-haired old scholar explained with a smile, then walked straight to the "statue" in the middle of the room and said, "I came to you to repair this device, of course, not
Such a big whole, but just a piece, um, part of it."
Cheng Lin stepped on the wooden floor, took a deep breath, and walked closer. Only then did he realize that the base was actually carved with dense patterns. There seemed to be several layers stacked up, with a six-pointed star pattern on the top.
"What's this?"
Cheng Lin suddenly felt that this thing looked familiar.
"It's a good thing, you'll know it after seeing it."
The old scholar suddenly stepped onto the pedestal in a few steps, then stretched out his hand to grab a corner of the white cloth, and suddenly pulled it off. Then, Cheng Lin's pupils suddenly tightened, and he almost blurted out the word "puppet".
Fortunately, he stopped in time and exclaimed:
"This is...an altar guard?!"
In front of him, as the white cloth was torn off, the true appearance of the "statue" was revealed:
The tall and majestic dark gold armor covered the entire scene. He was holding an extremely flamboyant spear. Above his head covered with iron armor, a pair of gray eyes looked down emotionlessly. Although lifeless, they carried inexplicable majesty.
This is clearly a psychic puppet, the Radiant Knight.
And it’s not an ordinary model, but a six-core puppet, the Glory Knight Commander!
"Why is it here? Hasn't it been blown to pieces by Shen Shanjing?"
Cheng Lin's breath tightened, and his heart was in confusion. In his memory, the Glory Knight Commander had long been destroyed and disappeared due to a fierce battle with Shen Shanjing who had opened the golden body in front of the bronze gate. It faded along with the projection, not even the fragments were left.
Stay, but why is there one here?
"No! This is not the one that Shen Shanjing destroyed, but it should be another one of the projections explored by the Second Division of the Demon City!"
According to the information known to Cheng Lin, when the "altar" projection appeared and was simultaneously explored all over the world, it was the Second Division of the Magic City that was the first to open up the fifth floor and touch the center, which caused the holy statue to shine and fly away into the sky.
From this, it can be deduced that the Second Division should have obtained the center long before Cheng Lin, so it would be reasonable to defeat the six-core puppet and transport it out.
"So, what I have in front of me now is the harvest of the Second Division's original exploration? Well, after getting it, it was handed over to the research institute for research and repair? Wu Mingxun called me here this time to repair this puppet?"
Cheng Lin understood what happened in an instant, suppressed his surprise, turned to look at the smiling old scholar, and heard Professor Wu say with pride: "These are indeed altar guards, but they are not the low-level ones you have seen before.
Goods, but senior guards guarding the fifth-floor gate of the altar. In that second division exploration operation, among all the harvests, the overall value ranked second!"
After a pause, seeing the surprised look on the face of the young man in front of him, Wu Mingxun asked with a smile: "Do you know what the most valuable item is?"
"I guess it's the control center crystal ball." Cheng Lin answered silently in his mind, but on the surface he shook his head "honestly", "What is it?"
Then, the white-haired old scholar showed a proud smile, took out a crystal clear sphere from a cabinet behind him, and then introduced it with an admiring look and tone: "This is it, the control center crystal ball!"
