I'm really a crispy French

Chapter 73

"Miss Hilbert, you'd better recall carefully what happened five years ago. This kind of place is obviously not the place to study that kind of huge machine. Otherwise, you think the machine will be built in this kind of passage, and you can move it." Going out?" Eldy said, but got no answer, "Miss Hilbert?!"

Eldy raised her voice, frightened Miss Hilbert stumbled on the flat ground, and fell forward, onto Morifio's shoulder, and Morifio's feet slowed down.

At this moment, a black shadow hung down from above their heads, it was extremely fast, stretched out a pair of hands with slender fingers, and the target was Morifeo's head!

Eldy instantly jumped up and stabbed at the shadow, Morifio's body glowed with green light, and his not-so-gentleman's arm pushed back, causing Miss Hilbert to fall to the ground with a scream.Eldi's attack only sounded "clang!" on Sombra's body, and Sombra still grabbed Morifio's head, but the result was "sizzling", and the smell of burnt meat wafted into the air. At the same time as everyone's nostrils, the black shadow retracted the top of the head without saying a word.

Morifio jumped up, the light of his shield flickered twice, and two stalactites fell from it. Eldi was saved from being smashed because he was pulled away by Leon.Miss Hilbert touched her shoulder and groaned.Then Morifio stepped back: "This thing is too fast!"

"Is it a ghoul?"

"I'm not sure. After all, this thing is formed for the same reason, but the specific situation of each ghoul is different."

"Do you want...to go back? After all, the door is open, and it is likely to run out." Miss Hilbert said suddenly.

"My deer is right at the door, or it looks like a deer, but it doesn't eat grass. So, Miss Hilbert, Eldy is right to ask, this kind of place can't be shipped out." It’s a machine, you haven’t thought about it at all, what’s in here?”

Miss Hilbert was silent again, and when everyone thought she would not speak any more, she spoke: "I... I'm actually not sure whether those memories are real or my own imagination. Since the After seeing that kid in the factory - I'm not even sure if it was a boy or a girl - being crushed, I used to have nightmares and hallucinations. Before I lived in the city with a nanny, after that, the nanny It can’t give me a sense of security, so my parents can only take me to the institute during the day.”

Now it sounds like her tone is calm and a lot more rational.

"They were working and I was in their office. My parents were the ones who put my mind at ease, but the stuff they studied... the drawings on the parchment, and the models, big and small, was horrible. I I can’t face all that, so I look out the window day after day. Occasionally they want to go out, that is, go into the mountains to do research, and they will hand me over to another Uncle Bauer.”

This Uncle Ball, whom she had mentioned before, was the one who later worked as a tutor at home.However, since this Uncle Bauer has children for Miss Hilbert to teach, it seems that he is much younger than Miss Hilbert's parents.

"Outside Uncle Ball's window, you can just see this side of the cave entrance. Several times, a carriage stopped at the cave entrance, and many people came down, men, women, old people, children, they were all poor people, wearing shabby clothes , with a numb face, just like the workers in those factories. And I only saw them go in, but I didn't see them come out..."

"Human experiments are still being done here?" Morifeo's tone became severe.

"Is human experimentation prohibited?" Leon asked.

"Not all, after all, the world needs to move forward, and the development of civilization needs to move forward. Alchemy, magic, vindictiveness, magic, medical skills, etc., there are countless inventions every day. Many of them need to be tested on living people. But in the Muller Federation, this needs to be declared at least by an Orthodox church and the local city hall.” Morifio said, “But before I came here, I checked the church’s records, and there is no such thing—the declarer can Only declare in one, but the major churches will notify each other to prevent misunderstandings."

I thought it was mechanically made by energy stones, but now it has become an illegal human experiment?

"They are eating people! Or they are feeding their machines to eat people!" Miss Hilbert said loudly, her tone was excited and excited, as if she was a little happy, and so was her expression.Now she is standing sideways, and Leon and Erdi are children, looking from below, it can be clearly seen that there is still a little smile on her face.

There may be a ghoul that has been completely distorted here, but this Miss Hilbert who grew up in the sun may not be so normal.Just now I was saying that it might be a hallucination, but now I insist on it.

Morifio also sighed: "Just take it as if you are here today to explore the secrets." It seems that he has given up getting information from Miss Hilbert. If false information is taken as true, it is better than ignorance Even more dangerous, "Let's keep going."

When Morifio turned around, the armor squeaked against the wall, but Leon and Eldi still received his sight—I don’t know what will happen next, so keep an eye on this employer.

They have been on guard against another attack, but no, the monster that missed a single hit shrank to nowhere.After walking for another 10 minutes or so, something different finally appeared in front of them.

"Elevator?" Morifio turned sideways, trying to let others see what it was, "I heard that this was recently passed from the Cairns Empire. It is driven by energy stones and can automatically go up and down. I didn't expect that five years ago , we have this kind of thing here.”

The elevator looks more like an iron cage that is closed on one side, that is, the "cage door" is open. On the left hand side of the cage, there is something like a switch knife. The side of the switch knife is marked with numbers. Now the switch knife stays at 0. In the position, there are 0 and 1 above 2, and -1 and -2 below.

So, this institute actually has five floors.

"I don't want to go in! It leads to the devil's gut!" Miss Hilbert said firmly.

"We're not going to go in either." Morifio nodded, although the reasons for the refusal were different, but the conclusion was the same, "This kind of thing is a target if it goes in."

Morifio's sword swung across, and the cage-like elevator was dismantled immediately, and the lower half of the elevator fell into the elevator shaft. It took more than ten seconds for them to hear a "bang". Although the stepwell is only two floors down, it is high enough.Now in the elevator shaft, there is only one roof hanging there, making a teeth-stinging sound as it sways.

"There's still..."

Without the cover of the closed side of the elevator, the scene on the opposite side is exposed, and there is not a wall, but another passage.

"Go to the opposite side, or go down?" Morifio asked.

Miss Hilbert: "Go to the opposite side!"

Leon and Eldi nodded indifferently, Morifio understood, and took out a seed from his belt, the seed began to germinate in his palm, and after being thrown to the ground by him, it grew even more crazily , In a blink of an eye, a narrow vine bridge connecting the two sides grew.

Morifio himself didn't need a bridge, he would have stopped there as soon as he sprinted from this side.

Leon and Eldy looked at Miss Hilbert. The vine bridge was as wide as a chair, and the lift shaft was less than 30 meters wide. It's a little softer, and you can pass it quickly with normal walking, but Miss Hilbert took two legs and retracted: "Let's... let's go down."

So Morifio rushed over again and put his arms around her waist. This time, he only borrowed force from the center of the bridge once, but the speed was still extremely fast. Miss Hilbert hadn't realized what happened. They landed on the other side.

"You can't let me stay here alone!" As soon as the two people's feet hit the ground, Miss Hilbert hugged Morifeo's arm, she was afraid that Morifio would come to pick up Leon and Eldy.

Leon patted Eldy, and Eldy jumped onto the vine bridge.His speed was also very fast, but when he was halfway there, Miss Hilbert suddenly let out a scream—while screaming, she held Moriffio even tighter, and Morifio's eyes were wide open. Get chilly!

Eldi raised his head immediately, but no, the danger was not towards him.

"Leon!" Before he had time to confirm with his eyes, Eldy turned around and rushed towards Leon on the narrow vine bridge.

Leon had already been caught by the shadow, and he was reaching out his hand towards Eldy, and Miss Hilbert screamed even louder...

Morifio just saw the black shadow appearing, and wanted to rush to the rescue, just throw Miss Hilbert on his arm.His arms were raised, which was an instinctive reaction he thought he was protecting as a cycle knight all the year round.But Leon's specific situation quickly came to his mind. This suspected ghoul was very weird, but Morifio believed that if Leon didn't want to be taken away, then he wouldn't be taken away. Now he's voluntary, so he puts his arm down again.

Eldi, who was at a close distance, could see more clearly. Did Leon reach out to grab him and ask for help?No... He seems to be waving or waving. Is that saying that he will wait for him to find him, or is it a temporary goodbye?Either way, it shows that Leon is very confident about what will happen next,

But Leon's self-confidence belongs to Leon, Eldy jumped up from the spot and continued to chase!

"Leon!" You said yes!You promised me!

The black shadow suddenly turned around and grabbed Eldi. At this time, Morifeo was really worried, but that black shadow... didn't continue to run forward. It took a child in one hand and directly He fell down from the top of the cave, put the two children on the ground, and then, like a docile big dog, followed the two children's arms and walked to the side of the vine bridge again.

Miss Hilbert stopped screaming. She looked at the black figure in a dull and unbelievable manner, and then went to look at Leon and Eldie: "You, you! You have been infected by demons! You are also demons! You..."

Morifio threw Miss Hilbert who was still hanging on his arm to the ground: "Stop playing?"

"Never played," Leon said. "Eldy wanted to train himself."

As Leon spoke, he snapped his fingers, and the dark passageway lit up. Fist-sized fireflies fluttered in the air, shaking their bellies, and the gloomy and terrifying place suddenly became romantic.

Eldy lowered his head and walked to the opposite side without saying a word.Miss Hilbert, who just got up to speak, was kicked on her calf by him—he was a child, but his strength was not something an ordinary person like Miss Hilbert could handle—and fell down again , and this time she fell in the wrong direction, and she fell into the elevator shaft.

In fact, it was just her head facing the darkness at first, but when she got up, Eldi stepped on her waist, and she couldn't turn over, but Erdi "sent" her again, and now the whole upper body They all slipped out.

"Ah——" Miss Hilbert screamed and waved her hands, but this not only couldn't help herself, but also made her feel more weightless. Fortunately, Eldie's feet were strong enough, otherwise Hilbert Miss is likely to fall.

When Eldy was dealing with Miss Hilbert, Leon also came over, as well as the shadow.

Morifio took two steps back and looked at the tall thing vigilantly: "It's not a ghoul, but is it alive or dead?"

"It's alive, otherwise I can't control it." Leon replied.

This black shadow seems to be wrapped in a layer of black mist, it really looks like a shadow, but under the faint green light of the bugs, you can still see what it looks like in the black mist - it is very It is at least five meters tall, but the head and torso are at most one meter, and the rest are legs, and the four arms are stretched to the soles of the feet. Its hands are also very long. Just now, one hand can lift Leon's waist. Grab it, and its arms, legs, and hands are multi-segmented joints.

It has no clothes, its muscles are pitch-black, and it cannot be identified as male or female, and there are no reproductive organs.The shape of its head seems to have been cut off, leaving only three-quarters of the ball, and if you look closely, it is more like a head with the face dug out and only the brain left, without any facial features .

Morifio took off his iron glove and touched the black shadow. It was warm but hard: "What is this? It's like slightly hot steel. How can it have no senses?" active?"

"It has senses." Leon said, the black shadow group sat down with its body, it has such a tall body, but after all the joints are folded, the curled up size is only a little taller than Leon and Eldy , Leon pointed to its head at the same height as his own, which is probably the position of the forehead, "Here, it can sense heat, and its whole body can sense sound, but it can't make sound by itself."

"Somewhat like a snake?"

"Yes."

"Help me—! I'm telling you! I'll say anything! I'll say everything—!" Only one foot on Miss Hilbert's side was held by Eldy, and she fell into it lift shaft.Hearing her howl, Eldy finally dragged her back.

Miss Hilbert, who was on all fours again, had bruises all over her face. She covered her face with her hands, cried for a while, and said, "It was me... I did it..."

"What did you do?" Eldy was about to go up, and Miss Hilbert was really frightened by him, screaming and almost shoving herself into the wall, "I'm stupid, my parents—— ! And Rand——!!!”

As for the name of Rand, Eldy and Ryan thought about it before they remembered that Miss Hilbert's fiancé was called Rand Bossian.So... this lady is a thief calling for a thief?

"What happened, tell me clearly!"

When she was six or seven years old, her parents went to the factory to repair the machine for the factory owner, and she was also taken there, and witnessed a child of her age being shredded alive, and she was terrified at the time—these Everything she said was correct, but some of the follow-ups she said were wrong.

Her parents said that she was brought to the research institute, not because Miss Hilbert could not stay with the nanny, on the contrary, after that, Miss Hilbert developed stages of resistance and even disgust towards her parents and machines. I just want to live alone at home in the dormitory of the university, with the nanny.

But her parents did not accept her daughter's cowardice. They brought her into the research institute, hoping that she would have more access to mechanical knowledge, and that she would become an outstanding scientist one day.

"'Scientists?!' They call themselves that, but they are a bunch of lunatics! I don't want to learn those dirty things! I don't want to see those demons!" Miss Hilbert roared hoarsely, at this time even Leon I have some sympathy for her, it's like pushing a person who is afraid of water into the sea, hanging a person who is afraid of heights from a high tower, or even worse.

What's even more ironic is that Miss Hilbert is really talented in mechanical research...

"I scribbled on purpose! I answered every question they gave me wrong! I acted like a fool on purpose! I thought I'd be free, but they made me marry another madman! And I heard them say, They said that if I have become a paranoid lunatic, if I have a child, they will take the child away and raise it themselves, and this time they will definitely raise a good successor! It was my 16th birthday!"

Miss Hilbert covered her face and began to cry bitterly. Her life was rich. Perhaps in the eyes of some poor children, she was full of food. She obviously had a happy life but didn't know how to enjoy it, but even if she didn't suffer... Physical damage and mental damage are also huge...

"I made a little modification on my father's little model, and I knew he was going to take it underground. The thing was going to explode at [-] o'clock in the afternoon that day. There is a reason why the power stone is called a power stone. , when it is stable, it can supply a huge amount of energy. But my modification will cause the energy of the power stone to fall into sudden chaos, and then explode!"

She looked up at the surroundings: "If it really exploded at that time, then all of this should not exist now. That force is huge and indestructible."

"Why do you say that your fiancé is the same person as your parents, isn't he a doctor?" Eldy asked.

Leon moved two steps quietly, stood behind him, and quietly went to pull Eldi's hand. Eldi froze for a moment, but let him hold it.

"He became a doctor not to treat patients, but to better understand the secrets of human beings. He is also a part of the research. And after the destruction of the underground research institute, he has been intending to restart the research! So I... I killed him... I cut him into pieces and threw him into the sewer...hehehe...the sewer..."

"Their research?" Morifio's pointed ears almost stuck to the back of his head, showing how creepy he was.The three men looked at the curled up black figure together. Leon opened his big eyes and saw a distorted soul: "Is it necessary to make such a thing? Isn't there a golem?"

Golems are rare in cities, but Leon's avatars have also seen them near Diller City. Some large manor owners use golems instead of cattle and horses to cultivate, which can save a lot of labor.

"The golem needs a magician, but this thing is obviously created by ordinary people." Eldi explained to Leon, and Leon immediately grinned at Eldi. He took the hand he extended.

"Let's go, find a more comfortable place, and ask someone who knows more about these things." Leon said.

Morifio simply hit Miss Hilbert on the back of the neck, and after knocking her out, he resisted on the shoulder: "Wouldn't it be better if we did this earlier?"

Leon: "Eldy needs training! Need training!"

"Come back and follow me to the cycle knight station in Diller City, or to the Dawn Knight station of the God of Light. The training there is better than your random training."

Several people walked back to the narrow passage from the vine bridge. It was even more difficult for Morifio to walk that narrow passage now. The green light on his body flashed, and the seemingly solid rock in the passage A layer was scraped off, allowing him to walk smoothly.He himself also breathed a sigh of relief, but it was much more difficult and comfortable than turning around just now.

Eldy and Leon followed him, and with him leading the way, they could walk hand in hand.The black shadow also stood up from the ground, swaying and following at the end.

After walking a few steps, Morifio looked back at the black figure, his ears moved, and finally couldn't help asking: "Is it really alive?"

"It's really alive. Didn't you say that the body is controlled by the brain?"

"You don't need magic to do this... I thought the craziest people were the believers of the evil gods. These scientists are as crazy as the believers of the evil gods."
