The forbidden library that had been sealed in dust for thousands of years finally opened a crack in the door.
That terrifyingly heavy door requires the user to inject a huge amount of magic power to unlock it. And after unlocking it, it still needs to be pushed open. Either push it open with superhuman arm strength, or move it away with telekinesis, neither of which is easy.
Work.
Lianyin was still busy using telekinesis to open the door, but Vivian was squatting there not knowing what to do...
"What...are you doing?" Vivian didn't come to help, which made Lianyin a little depressed. She didn't dare to offend Vivian, so she could only ask tactfully.
"We are collecting the ashes of the jet-black bicorn. Even though it was burned to ashes, it is still valuable for research." The succubus replied matter-of-factly.
A drop of sweat broke out on Lianyin's forehead.
"Sorry, there was a delay." Vivian also finished collecting the ashes of the two-horned beast and came over to help. However, Vivian consumes a lot of magic power and is not very good at kinetic energy magic, so the places she can help are limited.
Before she succeeded in pushing the blocked door with magic power, Lianyin had already pushed it open.
The forbidden library finally appeared in front of the two of them. However, there were no books here. It looked more like a computer room. A bunch of ancient people's sophisticated electronic instruments were running quietly there, and only occasionally some data transmission devices flashed on the tubes.
light.
"Is it an electronic database..." Vivian has already seen something similar. It is better to say that she has the authority to run it. It was through the authority she had to analyze the database left by the ancients that Great Britain obtained
It has acquired a lot of valuable technology and knowledge. That knowledge was not originally allowed to be given to humans.
This forbidden library is one of them, a think tank sealed by the ancients, a treasure trove of information that should not be owned by the world. If humans and demons know too much, it will be detrimental to the ancient people's return to rule the earth in the future.
"That old woman is indeed very scheming." Vivian had an unhappy expression on her face.
"What's the meaning?"
"She said she would allow us to enter the Forbidden Library, but she never said she would allow us to read the books in the Forbidden Library. If it were a normal paper medium, it would be easy to browse the books, and her permission would not be required. But here is an electronic medium.
You probably need a username and secret to log into the computer."
"Ah this..."
That’s why the leader of the Lolita clan asked Vivian and Lianyin to deal with the jet-black bicorn when they knew there would be no loss. For the succubus clan, this matter had only advantages and no disadvantages. It was a very careful calculation.
.
Calculated to the point of being annoying.
"I just hope that the old fox will really fulfill her promise and let us find the so-called [original blood] in the forbidden library. If she dares to let us work in vain, I will definitely settle the score with her."
"Ah ha ha ha..." Lianyin smiled helplessly.
"Anyway, let's search here first." Vivian sighed: "I hope that thing won't be hidden in a too secret place, making it difficult for us to find it."
"Scanning. It was detected that the seventh database administrator of the fleet, Vivian Nivell Conwell, is present. The administrator authority link is being established."
The artificial intelligence of the database was actually activated without authorization. Because Vivian had obtained the administrator rights of the [Unknown Ruins] hidden in the Everglades seven years ago, was she regarded as the administrator of some kind of system?
"Allow the establishment of a link." The succubus boldly asked: "After establishing the link, perform a keyword search: [Primal Blood]."
"Link established. Temporary permission granted. Keyword search: [Original Blood], which took 0.0000125 seconds and found 1 matching record. Now play the record:
[Primordial Blood] is the experimental product used to initially generate the demon race.
By injecting this serum into the human body, the body of the qualified person will be demonized and mutated, transforming into a [Demon King].
[Demon King] is the origin of the demon clan. It is neither a race nor a plurality of individuals. Send [Demon King] for dissection and mating experiments, and the stable individuals that will eventually be produced will be differentiated into various demon clans."
"...I knew it would be like this." Vivian groaned: "The so-called devil is just a guinea pig of the ancients."
"Where is the storage place of the original blood?" She asked the system's artificial intelligence.
"Answer: It is impossible to contact other research institutes. The number of samples stored in this database is 7, and the number of serum samples in proliferation is 0.8. The next proliferation will be completed in six months."
(There really is a serum here!)
"Then, take me to get the serum." Vivian ordered.
"Retrieve administrator extended permissions. Answer: The extended permissions have been confirmed and the serum distribution permission has been obtained. Route induction is now started."
Light emerged from the ground, and a long holographic image beam pointed toward the depths of the database, seeming to lead Vivian and the others to a certain room.
"It's really a big help." Vivian said, winking at Lianyin. The two of them moved together with the guiding beam.
"So the leader of Lolita didn't lie to you. He even helped you reduce the time it takes to search for information." Lianyin followed Vivian and said, "What, she is actually a very nice person unexpectedly."
"Hey, we risked our lives to help her get rid of the Black Bicorn. What does the little help she provided mean? Moreover, if I read correctly, she is already quite weak and is probably planning to inherit the position of matriarch.
To other succubi, we will also transfer the administrator rights of this database. If we had not eliminated the two-horned beast, she might have been very troubled."
"Really, are you really that weak..."
"In the past, as long as we approached the door of the room, she would use telekinesis to open the door. Now, it takes her ten seconds to use telekinesis to open the door. The difference is huge."
(I don’t see any difference at all.)
A drop of sweat broke out on Lianyin's forehead. What kind of strange criterion is this?
"But this matter has nothing to do with me. I am no longer one of them. Even if the position of the matriarch is handed over to an annoying guy, it will not affect me. After all, there are few people in the succubus' hometown who I don't care about.
Annoying guy..." Vivian's face turned gloomy: "When my mother was in danger and I asked them for help, these snobbish guys never came to help."
"Didn't you yourself help Miss Igraine?"
"I can't. My mother told me not to interfere. If I take action, I will definitely become an enemy of her husband Uther Pantoracon, that is, an enemy of the Knights of Pantoracon. And then our situation
It would be embarrassing."
"All right……"
The two came to a room. The locked unknown metal door was slowly opening, and the complicated buckles on it were shifting, releasing the bonds between them, allowing the door to be opened smoothly. Then there was a dark room inside
, when Vivian and the others walked in, the room gradually became brighter.
There is no light, and the dim light generated by the entire ceiling permeates every corner of the room, making this room with walls and floors made of metal and complex textures full of futuristic feeling.
Something was working on a metal pedestal in the middle of the room. A translucent liquid was dripping drop by drop from the glass-like transparent container, and was collected by a larger spherical container below. The liquid collected by the container was gradually divided.
Put it into a transparent container protected by a metal shell next to it.
The slightly viscous liquid with a shimmer that is barely visible to the naked eye is probably the so-called [Primordial Blood], the mutated serum used to create the [Demon King].
If you inject that thing into Palamedes, he might become the devil and be resurrected.
Of course, he may also die directly. And this possibility is much higher than the possibility of him being resurrected as a demon king.
And we have to make sure that Palamedes, who has now turned into a stone statue, is still alive inside. If it is already a lifeless stone statue, even if it is injected with [Primordial Blood], it cannot be saved. This serum can only
Turning people into devils cannot bring them back to life.
There were too many subjects. There were too many things to worry about. Vivian let out a long sigh. She actually wanted to place her hopes on such elusive things. This was not the attitude that a scientific worker should have at all.
.
However, even if the possibility is only one in a hundred thousand, she must take the gamble. If she does nothing, she can only watch Paramedes die slowly. And she is tired of doing this.
Vivian stepped forward and reached out to touch one of the containers. Now that we are here, and since we have defeated the jet-black bicorn, we must not return empty-handed.
She took it off, and the library remained in its original condition, with no alarms or other accidents.
"Confirm that the serum distribution is complete." The artificial intelligence of the management system said.
"...That's it?" Lianyin couldn't help complaining: "According to the normal routine, we shouldn't sound the alarm next, lock us up with a mechanism, and then let the dogs out, right? Let's let the golem attack us?"
"You have read too many novels. How could there be so many dramatic plots in the real world?" Vivian rolled her eyes at Lianyin.
"Answer: No." The artificial intelligence replied without emotion: "The serum is distributed free of charge and is given to administrators for experimental purposes. Administrator Vivian Conwell has been approved to use the serum, so there is no reason to stop it."
"Uh-huh..."
"Are there any downsides to becoming a [Demon King]?" Because she felt uneasy, Vivian asked again: "Will it shorten my lifespan? Will I be controlled by ancient... um, pioneers, or something like that?"
"Answer: Negative. Negative.
The individual who becomes the [Demon King] is the original demon, and the theoretical lifespan is the same as that of the demons. Individual mutant individuals may gain an unusually long lifespan, or have unusually strong self-healing powers.
[Demon King] is the original demon and the benchmark sample of the demon clan, so no obedience adjustments have been made within the gene. [Demon King] cannot be controlled by the Pioneers, so it is very dangerous. After the experiment and sampling are completed, please check the mutated form as soon as possible.
The [Demon King]’s individual body will be disposed of."
Disposal means that Vivian must kill Paramedes. The devil has to do what this system tells him to do.
"...What if I never dispose of it?" Vivian asked tentatively again.
"Answer: The system will re-examine the experimental subject 65536 days after the experiment is completed. At that time, if the experimental subject is still alive, the system will make a disposal request to the administrator. The administrator has the right to reject the request once. If rejected, the system will be lenient
The deadline has been extended for another 65,536 days.
If the grace period ends and the manager responsible for the experiment has not discarded the experimental body, the system will revoke his manager's authority and submit a report to the superior manager.
Superior managers have the right to personally dispose of experimental objects."
Okay, this is a stupid system. Even if Vivian does nothing, the system will take 131,072 days, that is, 359 years, before it attacks Vivian and Paramedes.
It's not a big deal that Vivian's administrator rights were revoked. Moreover, after 359 years, even if any higher-level managers want to hunt down Paramides, they may not be able to defeat Paramides who has become the [Demon King]
Si?
Moreover, it is unknown whether the upper-level managers are dead. Maybe these people are gone long ago and will not appear in more than three hundred years.
More than three hundred and fifty years may have been just a moment to the ancient people who had almost eternal life;
For the demons, these three hundred years are not a long time, it has passed in the blink of an eye;
But for Vivian and Palamedes, every day of these more than three hundred years of time spent together will be precious. Even if Palamedes will die in three hundred and fifty years, it won't matter.
...Also, the orcs can normally live for about two hundred years at most. Living for three hundred years is already considered profitable?
"Understood. I have no other questions." Vivian put the serum into her bag.
