Liliana found a nearby larch and placed her palm on the tree trunk. She closed her eyes and began to sense the life force in the entire campus. This process didn't take much time. Ten seconds later, she suddenly opened her eyes, "She is no longer in the search range. Looks like other than that God knows what's going on with the Space Teleportation Device, she prepared quite a number of escape methods for herself."
I could only sigh at this result.
I was too careless.
If she was serious, even if it was an opponent several times stronger than her, it would still be impossible for her to escape so easily.
Speaking of which, the reason why Medusa managed to escape from under my eyes was because of my negligence. I didn't confirm the situation and recklessly assumed that the other party didn't have the ability to resist. Furthermore, I didn't treat a normal metahuman from Earth as a true opponent. In the end, I was actually frozen by the Frost Nova.
It was really a failure. Looks like Lin Xue's jinx came true in the end. I actually suffered a small loss in the hands of a normal metahuman. If the prophet who was known as the "omniscient and omnipotent" were to find out about this, I would probably become the latter's after-dinner entertainment for the next half a month. Also, considering Lin Xue's vile personality, the above was a conservative estimate after considering humanitarianism and humanitarianism …
Just as I was feeling depressed, Liliana suddenly called out to me, "Wait … Boss, there's something else!"
"Something else?"
My eyes lit up, and I selectively ignored a certain fake loli's nondescript way of calling me "Boss".
"Underground!" Liliana's eyes shone with a sparkling magic radiance under the night sky. Although I knew that this was a normal phenomenon after using magic, I still decided to ridicule this pair of eyes that had the ability to see through the night. "There's something underground. The area 200 meters deep is completely empty!"
200 meters deep? Then I can completely rule out the possibility of it being an underground structure of the school. Because from any angle, a school wouldn't be so troublesome as to dig a 200 meters deep underground, right?
That was already a depth that was even more troublesome than a war shelter.
"Can you find the entrance?" I looked at the fake loli who still had her hands on the tree trunk and her eyes were shining.
"The animals down there are basically dormant," Liliana retracted her palm and shook her head at me, "It's already not easy to get them to report to you about their living environment. Do you expect them to run a few kilometers to find the entrance for you? You should know that creatures that can live 200 meters underground are basically creatures that have reached a certain level of laziness … "
I was suddenly curious about who Liliana was asking for directions from two hundred meters underground.
"I'm not willing to go back just like that. Since that woman has been in this school for a week, there's no guarantee that she has discovered something. If we delay, I'm afraid that the most important thing will be lost. However, it doesn't seem appropriate to call a team of Schilling Engineers to demolish this school …"
Liliana walked next to me and muttered to herself while biting her nails. Then, she suddenly raised her hand and pointed at a passerby who had just completely lost his sense of existence. Like a spoiled princess, she said matter-of-factly, "Trash! Come here! "
Then, Liu Fan obediently came over.
Can't you just give me a little rebuttal? Don't show such a helpless smile just because the other party is a Lolita, like a big brother moving out an insensible little sister and then run over with a silly smile! Do you have any idea what kind of evil Obasan this girl who looks like an innocent and willful little girl in your eyes is?! Ahhhhhhh!!!
Liliana immediately looked over with a dangerous gaze and made crunching sounds in her mouth.
What are you looking at! I was very careful this time and didn't send it to everyone!
Liliana: "I can guess what you're thinking just by looking at your expression."
"Me?" Liu Fan jogged over and revealed his signature silly smile while scratching the back of his head with an indescribable glow on his face.
After the initial fear, this guy must have felt a little excited after experiencing such a surreal thing, right? Even if he's just a passerby, he at least has a normal teenager's heart.
"Yeah, I'm calling you." Liliana raised her head with great effort and maintained eye contact with him. At this moment, I couldn't help but think of a certain loli who had a huge grudge against her height. If it was Pandora, this ordinary boy named Liu Fan would probably be forced to kneel and reply. "Do you know if this school has any mysterious underground warehouses that have never been opened before?"
"About that … I don't think so …"
"What about the old basement that students are forbidden from entering?"
"Also no."
"What about the oak planks that are fastened to the ground of the underground parking lot with huge chains?"
"That's even less possible …"
"What about the heavy metal doors that are locked with suspicious red marks and rusty rivets and always make a sharp noise like nails scratching against glass at midnight?"
"… That's impossible …"
Speaking of which, I feel like the question has already deviated from the original direction.
"That's also not possible …" Liliana tilted her head and bit her finger with an innocent expression, "Then there must be a secret door with the word 'Umbrella' written on it, right? What about the passageway with the 'NEST' sign? Wooden doors tied with yellow talismans and straw ropes? Walls with blood-red words and abstract graffiti? Chandelier that gently swings on a windless night and ancient mirrors that reflect the chandelier's reflection? And … Ah, it hurts! "
I retracted my knifehand and said sternly: "Are you here to cause trouble or to cause trouble!?"
Liliana snorted in disdain: "It's just that this loser's expression is getting more and more interesting, so I bullied him a little …"
Alright, although I don't want to say it out loud, Liliana, your point of view is too correct …
Just when I was thinking about whether I should call the twin sisters to send us down at this time, Anveena suddenly said weakly: "Master, how about I go down and take a look?"
… I actually forgot that there was a mystical creature called specter here.
Two hundred meters underground wasn't a problem for us, but it was slightly impossible to dig out the two-hundred-meter underground area without alerting ordinary people. But for Anveena who could turn into a spirit, it was just a tunnel with poor lighting conditions.
In less than ten seconds, the little specter successfully reached the underground area and shared her vision with me.
What we saw was a corridor filled with blue halos.
In reality, this corridor that had been abandoned for who knew how long wouldn't have a blue halo. The reason for this was that there was no light underground. Thus, in An Weina's undead vision, the entire corridor had become a ghostly appearance filled with a sense of horror and suspense.
"It looks like a research base. How vulgar."
Due to the lack of lighting, this half-collapsed corridor appeared unreal and distorted in my eyes. The walls were crisscrossed with cracks, and half of the ceiling had collapsed to the ground, revealing numerous pipes and wires. On both sides of the corridor, there were many rooms with metal nameplates. With my pitiful English vocabulary, I could only make out the words "sample room".
"Sample room, research room, observation room, resting room, tool room …"
Liliana translated at the same speed as Anveena's vision. Speaking of which, was this fellow using this method to subtly mock me?
"Phew … Looking at the nameplates on the equipment, this underground base has at least twenty years of history. Moreover, it was built by foreigners. There's an eighty percent chance that it was some kind of organization. It was only after being abandoned for so many years that it was coincidentally discovered by us. Just thinking about it makes me feel aggrieved, but …" Liliana rubbed her eyes. She was still not very used to sharing her vision with Anveena. "It's better to leave it to the ability group or some other official force to negotiate. They must have a lot of experience in dealing with illegal foreign organizations."
"Then, is Medusa looking for this underground base? Fortunately, she didn't have time to discover the entrance to this place. But it's also possible that the entrance to this place had already disappeared in the collapse. "I muttered to myself as I gradually had some doubts." Strange, how did this place collapse? Logically speaking, since they had the ability to build a research base two hundred meters underground, it shouldn't have collapsed due to the quality of the construction, right? "
"There was a small earthquake here before," Liliana recalled her time in this school. "At that time, the buildings on the ground didn't suffer too much damage, but it seems that the movement underground was much bigger … It could also be that the collapse of this base caused that small-scale earthquake …"
While I was discussing with Liliana, Anveena was still walking through the maze-like corridors. It wasn't an easy task because some sections of the road had been completely buried by the fallen soil. She had to rely on the physique of a ghost to move freely in this godforsaken place. Also, the collapse of the base didn't seem to happen suddenly, so the people inside had enough time to evacuate. The little ghost entered a few seemingly intact research labs, but almost everything inside had been moved away. Ten minutes later, we still didn't find any substantial clues.
"Master! There's someone in front! "
Just as I was about to give up and bring a battalion of "Shadow of the Lost" to conduct a carpet search tomorrow, Anveena suddenly exclaimed.
