Chapter 207 The Secret Room

O'Falostik College, Chamberson's Office.

 A small treasure chest made of old world gold was placed on the table. Chamberson tried to open the lock by pouring controllable wind into it.

As a result, as soon as the breeze poured in, a large amount of gold liquid overflowed from the keyhole and blocked it directly.

"There is no way such a thing exists on the surface of the old world. William, have you gone to the depths? Even I have never seen this kind of gold processing method in the old world. It is too clever."

 “This is probably what happened…”

 Teacher Chamberson is absolutely trustworthy. Yi Chen did not hide anything and told him in detail about his chance encounter with the [Old World Businessman] and his gambling.

“I didn’t expect you to have such an opportunity. Maybe it was the good luck that staying with Patient Zero brought you.”

 For a time, Chamberson's "owl's eyes" seemed to be able to see endless possibilities in Yi Chen.

“Professor, do you want to see this relic?”

 “This is your property, you can show it to me if you like.”

 Yi Chen took out the golden key from his body and inserted it into the keyhole.

An alien Rubik's Cube with a 'maze-shaped' brain sulcus circuit engraved on its surface appeared. Its unique structure allowed Chamberson to quickly immerse himself in it, and he was even able to spy some indescribable strange phenomena.

 “There are such exquisite relics!

Relics are often by-products produced by life in the old world after they have completed an important stage of growth.

This by-product records its growth process and the remaining essential essence. Most of them are very intuitive, and their specific categories and functions can be determined at a glance, such as the umbilical cord you first got.

This Rubik's Cube is completely different. It hides its characteristics inside.

 If you want to truly make use of this relic and use it to break through the "limits of man", you must first decipher it.

It may take a long time, and unknown pathogenic substances may be produced during the decryption process, or even cause some pathological abnormalities.

 That’s great! I will arrange a secret room with a seal on the lower street. When you are free, you can go there to decipher the Rubik's Cube. "

 “Thank you, professor.”

“In addition, due to the special circumstances of the “Relic Incident”, the staff of the Gentlemen’s Hall should conduct some cursory questioning and psychological examination on you later.

 If you are asked about obtaining relics, this is your private matter and you may choose not to answer.

If you encounter a more troublesome situation, you can disclose the "black umbilical cord", but things about the Rubik's Cube must not be exposed in Zion.

The value of the three-attribute relics is immeasurable. It will bring out the greed hidden deep in the human heart and will inevitably lead to trouble. "

"knew."

“I’m going to prepare the [Secret Room] now, and I’ll let you know when it’s ready.

 It is best to meet with Instructor Bailey in the remaining time. Her students failed to come back with you. As the temporary captain, you need to give her an explanation. "

"good."

When Chamberson left, he patted Yi Chen heavily on the shoulder.

 …

  【Gethsemane】

In an office filled with display cabinets of fingers,

The long black legs were crossed on the table. Hearing Yi Chen tell the story of the incident,

“If Jin follows the direction of Honglian’s growth and explores, there should be no problem. She will not die. The worst case scenario is that she cannot be defined as a [person] and cannot return to the organization.

  She has never considered Zion her home anyway, so it doesn’t matter.

 Let her go~"

When talking about this, Yi Chen happened to have a question: "I have heard her talk about Jin's disease characteristics - [Red Lotus] before, and it seems to be related to 'father'... What does the specific disease correspond to?"

“It is one of the most dangerous “cancer diseases” and is almost the overlord among physical diseases. Since the development of the organization, there are only a handful of gentlemen who can control cancer.

 This is related to Jin’s tragic childhood experience. You need to understand the details yourself, provided that she can come back. "

 “Well, I do believe that Jin will come back.”

“Are you so sure? It seems that this trip has brought you two closer~”

 Speaking of this, instructor Bailey seemed to want to talk to Yi Chen about some personal matters and used the same tactics as before.

The soles of feet covered with black stockings appeared in a flash,

 Clamping Yi Chen's tie, he tried to drag him to the desk.

 But this time it’s different,

 Instructor Bailey received a very intuitive feedback - [Heavy].

 Compared to before, this time it felt like she was dragging ten Yichen's weight, which almost made her toes cramp.

"Why have you become so heavy? It's not exactly a matter of weight gain, it's more of a physical calmness... If you don't rub it for me quickly, it almost gives me a leg cramp."

Yi Chen, who was dragged to the desk, couldn't refuse, so he could only pinch his calf with both hands and rub it slowly.

"Your physique should be reaching its limit soon, right? And even if it reaches its limit, it shouldn't be so heavy... Has your body fundamentally changed during your journey to the old world?"

"Yes."

 “What changes, show me.”

Yichen didn't hide it either. After all, instructor Bailey was also half of his mentor.

 One hand is still rubbing the leg,

 An iron chain with needle **** grew from the palm of the other hand.

The moment the chain appeared, Bailey jumped back instinctively and pulled out a special length-changing blade from under the desk.

If it were not Yi Chen, but a strange gentleman, Bailey might directly cut his throat and behead him.

  The concentration of illness emitted by the acupuncture iron chain far exceeds the normal standard. Only in the old world can such alienated chain characteristics be seen.

Yi Chen quickly explained, "Instructor Bailey, the original plant disease in my body eventually turned into an iron chain like this after being infected by old world substances."

"Pain...this chain will cause pain, right?"

"Yes."

“It’s true! If other gentlemen could contain this kind of thing in their bodies, they would have died hundreds of times. I’m afraid only Zed and you have constitutions like yours in Zion that can tolerate this disease.

Your gains from this trip are really amazing. I can’t even imagine the specific state you can achieve after breaking through your limits.

 Originally, I was thinking about having a discussion with you, but I’d better forget it now. Being hit by this thing is enough to hurt me for days and nights. You’d better go back and have a good ‘communication’ with Zed. "

"Um."

“When you are ready to make a breakthrough, please remember to let me know if you are willing to show it publicly.”

 “Do you still need to rub your legs?”

Instructor Bailey bent down and poked his calf, "Don't... I don't want to have my calf pierced by a steel needle. You should have a lot of things to deal with just after you returned to the city, so go do other things quickly."

"OK."

Farewell to the instructor,

Yi Chen immediately went to the power station to meet with Reagan to see what relic the other party had obtained.

After arriving, he was told that Reagan was in an important stage of retreat and was in the deepest [charge area] of the power station, which was personally approved by the director.

 If you want to meet, you will probably have to wait until Reagan breaks through.

Yi Chen came out of the power station and was about to go back to school to meet Zed.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ification

A white owl stood on Yi Chen's shoulder in the blink of an eye, guiding him to the 'decryption room' prepared by Chamberson.

 The secret room is located next to the nameless clothing store, a remote store that has not been rented for many years.

In case there is a big change during the deciphering process, Ivan, the owner of the clothing store, can come out to smooth things over.

The shop full of spider webs is filled with weird models that Chamberson borrowed from the clothing store, and has a rusty signboard - "Unnamed Warehouse", pretending to be a clothing store rented to store excess models. Compartment warehouse.

Passing through the mannequin and touching the hidden button between the floor tiles, a secret passage to the basement opens.

The basement that has been buried for several years and has not been used has been simply tidied up by Chamberson using wind magic.

There are seals on the walls and between the cracks in the floor. The sound of wind lingering in the ears means that the barrier has been established.

“Ivan will handle some superficial problems. If the wind barrier is destroyed, I will rush over as soon as possible.

 You can just relax and carry out the deciphering work here. "

 “Thank you, professor.”

 “Continue to maintain this state and reach a level that exceeds our expectations.”

 After Chamberson left, Yi Chen found a chair and sat in the middle of the basement.

 With the help of a kerosene lamp hanging above his head, he began to decipher the relics for the first time.
