At the end of the dark maintenance passage was a shell-like gate, but in front of the gate were two siren sentinels armed with weapons. Hao Ren hid behind a few pipes and looked up at the guards in the distance. "I think they won't let us pass... and they don't look like the siren puppets that have lost their ability to think."
Hasse carefully took out his crossbow. "Looks like we have to fight. I'm confident that I can kill them in an instant without making too much noise."
Shaqira quickly stopped him. "Wait a minute!"
"We have to do it." Hasse seemed to have misunderstood Shaqira's meaning. "These sirens have been controlled, and now they are the enemy."
"I'm not talking about that. If you kill them here, they will soon resurrect elsewhere in the palace area, and it will attract a large group of guards." Shaqira waved her hand slightly. "Without full preparation, it is very, very difficult to completely kill a siren. It requires a complicated sealing ritual."
Lily pulled her ear. "Oh... that's why you guys have to evolve so much."
However, Shaqira's word "sealing" reminded Hao Ren. He quickly looked around and waved his hand to indicate that he had a solution. "Step back a little. Shaqira, can you make some noise to attract the two of them? "
Shaqira did not understand, but she still nodded. After the others had stepped back, she opened her mouth in the direction of the two sentinels. No one heard anything, but the two sirens were immediately on guard. After they looked at each other, they twisted their bodies and swam towards the corner where Hao Ren was hiding.
As the distance between them approached, Hao Ren's body also tensed up. When the two sentinels were less than five meters away from Hao Ren, they clearly sensed the presence of strangers in the water. Their expressions changed slightly at the same time, and then they raised their tridents high!
At that moment, Hao Ren sprang out like a spring, his body was as swift and powerful as a spring. The two siren sentinels were startled. Before they could react, Hao Ren had already caught their tails. Then, with a swoosh, the two sirens were gone.
Hao Ren clapped his hands and blew out a string of bubbles. "Done."
Shaqira was stunned. "Where did you throw them?"
"Dimensional pocket," Hao Ren shrugged. "Now they are fighting with two mechanical tentacle monsters. Oh, they are tied up …"
Shaqira said, "Huh?"
Nangong Wuyue looked at Hao Ren's hand with a strange expression on her face. "Wait a minute, why do I feel like that technique of yours is somewhat familiar?"
Hao Ren chuckled. "Of course. This is how I usually drag you back when you're crawling around the house."
Everyone: "…"
Vivian patted Hao Ren's shoulder. "Let's go. The brain monster will soon realize that it has lost two chess pieces. It will send someone to investigate. We'd better leave this place immediately."
They quickly swam towards the gate. This time, they were finally lucky: the gate was not locked. Shaqira and Sorma operated a few levers next to the gate, and the shell-like gate slid to the side with a string of bubbles.
Hao Ren swam in front. After crossing the gate, he was shocked. "Holy sh * t … look!"
Behind the gate was a fan-shaped hall. In the center of the hall, there was a spherical luminous object that looked like a giant pearl floating quietly. Under the illumination of this luminous object, they could see many cuboid platforms placed neatly around the hall. On each platform, there was a 'person' lying quietly. Their skin was gray and lifeless. They wore old and tattered World War II military uniforms, and their chests were inlaid with strange gray-blue crystals …
They were the World War II Allied soldiers known as the 'Dead Bodies'!
Vivian heard Hao Ren's exclamation and was the first to come in. She was shocked to see the situation in front of her. "Dead bodies? Don't tell me they recharge here? "
"It seems that this resonance chamber is the place where their crystals are charged." Hasse pointed at the grayish-blue crystals on the chests of the dead. The crystals and the luminous ball in the center of the hall intertwined, changing in a clear pattern. "These corpses seem to be in a deep sleep."
Y 'lisabet looked curiously at the luminous sphere. There was a mysterious rune platform below it. The little girl could not move when she saw it. She swam over with a small screwdriver. Just as she was about to poke it, someone grabbed her and pulled her up. "I said, don't touch anything here!"
Y 'lisabet danced in the air while being pulled by Hao Ren. "Uncle Ren, there's something embedded here! There's something embedded here! "
Only then did they see a large piece of crystal inlaid in the center of the rune platform below the luminous sphere. The crystal looked a little familiar. White Flame scratched her chin and thought for a moment. She suddenly remembered where she had seen it before. "It looks like the crystal inlaid on the weapons of the siren overseers."
White Flame's reminder reminded them of the strange weapons they had seen in the hands of the Siren supervisors outside the city. The weapons were shaped like halberds, and the most striking thing about them was the large sapphire-like object in the middle of the two curved blades at the tip, which made it look more like a staff than a weapon. Only the siren overseers who were responsible for commanding the 'Dead Bodies' carried this gem. The sirens who monitored the otherworldling slave workers used ordinary halberds.
The crystal in front of them was almost identical in shape and color to the sapphire-like object. Even the rune patterns on the surface were similar, but it was many times larger. Vivian immediately figured out what it was for. "Is this the thing that's controlling the undead? Is it a main controller? "
As soon as Shaqira heard this, she immediately reached for the crystal. "Then we must destroy it!"
Nangong Wuyue stopped her. "Don't rush. What if it's not a controller? What if it's an alarm? "
Shaqira suddenly hesitated. Hao Ren saw her hesitation and pulled her hand away. "Wait a minute, let the MDT scan it —"
Before his voice trailed off, his finger accidentally touched the corner of the crystal. Under everyone's watchful eyes, the surface of the crystal was quickly covered with cracks, and then silently turned into a pile of debris.
Hao Ren was dumbfounded. "Wait a minute … I didn't do anything!"
Vivian was also dumbfounded for a moment. Then, she slapped her forehead and said, "It's your intermittent Anti-Magic Physique!"
"F * ck me!" Hao Ren suddenly felt that his life was being challenged by fate again. "Who am I … Wait a minute, they're moving!"
The shattering of the 'main control crystal' did not trigger any alarm, but it produced a more unexpected result: with a strange sound like a wind chime, the sleeping dead around the hall suddenly stood up one by one!
It was a creepy scene. Countless zombie-like dead from World War II got up one by one, adjusted their balance with stiff postures, and checked their status in confusion. Then, they all turned their eyes to Hao Ren. Pairs of shriveled and deformed eyes stared at him, and the white hairs on Hao Ren's forehead could not stop sweating. He could actually feel the sweat on his forehead even though he was soaking in the water. What a great feat!
Of course, Hao Ren was not afraid of the zombies. He just felt that the atmosphere was too scary!
Lily and Rollie bristled at the same time. One tucked her tail and the other hunched back. The others were also on guard. Only the heartless Lil Pea happily swam out to greet the zombies, but Nangong Wuyue dragged her back by the tail. Hao Ren looked at these shaking World War II souls with a weird expression on his face. He raised his hand awkwardly and said, "Ahem, we mean no harm … We just want to help you get rid of the control."
He used English, French, Russian and several other languages to greet them. Hasse was surprised. "I didn't know you were so versatile."
Hao Ren shrugged and did not answer. He looked at the nearest World War II soldier, who was a Soviet submarine commander in uniform. "I'm sorry to disturb you. We were passing by and saw that you were troubled by magic. We wanted to help, but we didn't expect that there would be a problem with the procedure."
The Allied officer tilted his head slightly as if trying to get his stiff brain to work again. Then he looked down at the gray-blue gem on his chest and suddenly raised his arm as if he was cheering silently.
Hao Ren: "?"
