Rachel said intently while eating the beef bowl with rice and watching the TV series on the screen.
While Todd was studying the map of the royal city on the computer screen, he said casually: "Oh."
Rachel glanced at Todd: "She keeps asking me, who saved him?"
Todd wrote down a series of numbers on the paper, still looking unconcerned: "What did you say?"
"I told her that Mr. Derek saved her."
Todd didn't react for a moment: "Who is Derek?"
"Did you forget? We were on her ship and you used that alias."
Todd was stunned for five seconds, and then finally remembered that when he left Twilight City, he transformed into a young man in order to conceal his official identity.
Putting this question aside, Todd turned the monitor to Rachel and pointed to a place one kilometer outside Armagh City: "The exit of the secret passage is here."
Rachel followed the direction he pointed, nodded and said: "From here, less than two kilometers south, you can walk into the forest. It will be difficult for the enemy's pursuers to catch up with us."
Todd said nothing, staring at the screen motionless.
Rachel asked strangely: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"I'm reminded of a quote from Cumberland."
"Which sentence?"
"There are a lot of uncertainties in war because everything is changing. To a certain extent, implementing plans in chaos is the true meaning of war."
After an hour of discussion, Rachel was sent out of the soul space, and Todd began to build a contact network with another identity.
During the days when he had the identity of Boyle, Todd got to know many new people, and these people would play a huge role in the construction of the barbarian outpost in the future.
Integrating them into the soul space is a very important step in the subsequent escape.
Having said that, we need to briefly introduce Todd’s soul space.
After the battle against Lawrence, when Todd first acquired the soul space power, the space was extremely small, with only a flat floor of about 300 square meters, and the main body inside was only a conference room.
As the number of souls linked increases, the soul space continues to expand.
To this day, the main building in Todd's soul space is a three-story research institute, with a building area of about 1,600 square meters on each floor, including conference rooms, sample rooms, network centers, chemical laboratories,
Functional rooms such as imaging room, cafeteria, swimming pool, fitness room, etc.
The outdoor space gradually expanded from the original void of thick fog to a small town of four square kilometers.
Although there are no buildings in the town except for the research institute in the center. There are only natural scenery such as grasslands, hills, creeks, and snow-capped mountains, but things related to soul linkers can be seen everywhere. For example, Mary
Liliel, the beloved flower, Windwhisper, Cumberland’s beloved horse, Rachel’s favorite rare fruit tree...
Looking out at the soul space outside through the window of the institute, Todd became more and more puzzled as to what kind of secrets this space embodied by thinking held.
After thinking about it, he still had no answer, so Todd simply focused on the current matter.
First, you must find a place in the soul space to receive the soul linker who is Boyle.
In order to prevent the soul linkers of the two identities from becoming aware of each other's existence, this place must be isolated from the research institute and should be consistent with Boyle's identity.
After much deliberation, Todd chose to use the underground of the institute as a reception place for the soul of Boyle's identity.
Since it is a concrete place for thinking, it is not difficult for Todd to open up a new world underground in the institute.
There is no need for construction and no need to transport waste.
Just implement a high-speed elevator directly in the central courtyard on the first floor of the institute.
A huge temple with a height of 70 meters and an area of about 5,000 square meters was dug out at a depth of about 500 meters below the ground of the institute.
In terms of decoration style and architectural layout, Todd plans to refer to the Undercity in the previous World of Warcraft game.
In the soul space, Todd spent almost 48 hours to roughly complete the entire dungeon.
In the center of the circular underground temple is a huge circular platform, with countless colorful ores lighting up the entire underground space. 12 huge statues of gods are located in 12 directions of the temple, facing the high throne in the center.
Todd sat in the throne in the center of the temple, looked at the surrounding underground scenery, and breathed a long sigh of relief: "The place is almost ready, the next step is the members."
Using Boyle's identity to organize the escape on the day of the celebration, Todd's first thought was to use Ackerman and Casper as the first batch of soul linkers.
Todd will definitely be forced to participate in the gladiatorial competition on the day of the celebration, so the task assigned to the Boyles will naturally fall on the heads of this pair.
If you can keep in touch with these two people at any time in the soul space, you can grasp the entire trend of the escape.
After leaving the soul space, Todd found the two of them at the training ground on the underground level of Red Circle.
Taking them to a deserted corner, Todd looked at them and asked calmly: "Do you believe me?"
Although they didn't know why Todd suddenly asked this question, the two of them answered truthfully.
The taciturn Casper just nodded, and Ackerman said: "Mr. Boyle, without your help, we might have died on the duel field now. Your kindness and strength are all we look up to.
Your reasons.”
Todd stretched out his hands toward their foreheads: "Next, I'm going to take you to a place. All you have to do is relax your spirit and let your soul respond to my call."
Watching the two people opposite him slowly closing their eyes, Todd turned his fingers into hair-thin spikes, pierced Ackerman and Casper's noses, and drilled directly into their brains.
The next second, when the two opened their eyes, they found themselves in the underground temple that Todd had arranged in advance.
"This! This is?!" Ackerman looked at everything around him, his eyes seemed to fall out, and his voice was trembling to the point of being unable to control himself.
Casper wasn't much better. After looking around, he almost tripped over even taking a step.
Todd snapped his fingers, and a sea of stars appeared in the sky of the temple, and complex and enigmatic words appeared on the surrounding walls.
A light blue light enveloped Todd's body. His size gradually grew larger, and his eyes emitted a dazzling white light. He looked like a god from a fairy tale.
With his psychological defense completely defeated, Ackerman's knees weakened and he fell to his knees directly on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Casper knelt down on one knee and lowered his head respectfully.
Todd's voice became ethereal and distant, deafening: "Mortals, I have a task for you."
