Chapter 601 Chapter 603 Awakened Memories

Finally, Lloyd had to "follow the local customs" and put on a miner's hat, turned on the headlamp, and looked around.

After making preparations, Professor Fernande asked curiously:

"By the way, Lloyd, didn't you say that there are demons imprisoned down here? Why don't you feel any mental pollution?"

Doctor Maomao at the side also let out a few strange noises, saying that he came here to help deal with the karma demon.

As it spoke, it used its tentacles to roll out a few bottles of medicine with blood-red skull logos from its stomach and raised them to indicate that it would try a new medicine.

"Uh... I have temporarily imprisoned these monsters with a space loop, so the mental pollution cannot spread. But don't be impatient. We have to go deeper and must go through the area where the demons are imprisoned. Shall we go there now?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and opened a portal, and on the other side was the deep experimental area where the devil was imprisoned.

"Wait three seconds before coming in."

Lloyd reminded them again, then he stuck a piece of "Aho-Ha" on each of his teammates' foreheads, and then he was the first to walk into the portal.

As soon as he landed, a ferocious roar mixed with a massive amount of mental pollution hit him in the face.

Lloyd teleported himself to a distance, and was almost face to face with a hideous and twisted monster.

Its half-mechanical, half-biological appearance was vaguely visible in the darkness, and only a huge outline could be seen. Under the faint light from above its head, there were some curious combinations of gears and screws stuck in its flesh and blood.

In this situation where it is impossible to see the full picture of the monster, the fear and oppression brought by the unknown squeeze each other, making the air around them become heavy.

But that is for ordinary people. For Lloyd now, these things that are still in the category of "monsters" all look the same.

The [Distorted Realm] was casually unfolded, instantly covering the huge body of the Karma Demon, and then first controlled its movements with a twist of thought, and then accurately locked onto several mechanical joints on its body with inspiration, and gently twisted it with physical twist...

Boom~

With a dull thud, the demon who had just stood up fell to the ground with a bang, unable to move anymore.

This high-risk monster, known for its ferocity and violence and said to have infinite vitality, couldn't even roar a second time before it was completely subdued by Lloyd.

The whole process took less than two seconds, so Lloyd was able to reach out and pat the dust off his shoulders before his teammates showed up.

Even the mental pollution on it only brought a little bit of "mosquito legs" to Lloyd, and he quickly got used to it, and even the "mosquito legs" were taken away.

There was no way. Ever since he became his complete self again, the mental pollution emitted by the monsters could no longer pose a threat to Lloyd. It was more like the monsters were paying tribute to him rather than attacking him.

At this time, the remaining teammates appeared one after another. Several of Doctor Maomao's tentacles were wrapped with high-power searchlights, which instantly illuminated the surrounding environment and made the demon appear in its original form from the darkness.

How should I put it...it's very bizarre and disgusting, and it's hard to describe it in words.

One can only vaguely see the prototype of this thing. It should be some kind of humanoid creature, but not a human, but one that evolved from a monster.

Then there were metal parts embedded in the flesh all over his body, such as gears, screws, springs, etc., as if he had undergone some kind of inhumane torture.

The bones and organs on her body are very similar to those of 'Miss Shebelida' whom Lloyd had dealt with before. They are both made of half metal and half bone. The joints and other parts are also a combination of machinery and flesh. Even the spine is made of the same material.

Although everyone present had seen the general structure of the Karma Demon in various "popular science" illustrations, this was the first time they saw it with their own eyes, and they were so shocked that they were speechless for a moment.

It was not until a long while later that Dr. Maomao was the first to break the silence:

"Aa ...

It is expressing that the biological structure in front of us should not exist at all.

Lloyd nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, I think so too. No matter how you look at it, this thing can't be naturally generated."

Professor Fernando on the side asked:

"Is it still alive? But why is it not moving at all, just standing there emitting mental pollution?"

"It's still alive, but I destroyed a few of its joints, and then used the power of [Veto] to prevent its recovery and regeneration. It can't move now."

Lloyd explained first, then smiled and commented:

"It's pretty easy to deal with."

"Well... I'm afraid that's just for you..."

Randy, who was also a lecturer in the [Veto] department, responded quietly. His companion, Lecturer Lille, also said with a smile:

"Yes, I have been involved in the [Negation] system for many years. Today is the first time I know that even the recovery ability of the Karma Demon can be denied? It is really amazing. I originally thought that it was at least possible at the Saint level."

"How can a saint be so weak? The upper limit of [Veto] is very exaggerated."

Lloyd replied casually.

He had seen what Hiltina did before. She could even [negate] the environment in the "Forbidden Library", so what was that to her in terms of dealing with a demon?

However, it is difficult for the extraordinary people under her command to reach this level, and their understanding and development of [Veto] is far from reaching the upper limit of this system.

"Okay, enough of the small talk. If Dr. Mao Mao wants to study this monster, please do it as soon as possible. Let's also hurry up and investigate this laboratory."

Professor Fernando suddenly spoke up, bringing the topic back to the topic.

"Wow!"

Doctor Maomao then waved a bunch of test tubes and medicine bottles, boldly approached the demon, and began to study and take samples from it.

The three people from the History Department started from the areas that were not occupied by the demons, stayed as far away from them as possible, and then began to search for the things inside.

But looking at their expressions, it's not that they don't trust Lloyd or are afraid that the demon will suddenly break free. Instead, they seem to be afraid of Doctor Mao Mao and are afraid that the medicine will splash on them...

Lloyd was not idle either. He looked around for road signs or maps. He also boldly extended his inspiration to explore deeper areas.

Compared to the last time he came in, his [Inspiration] has doubled, and the exploration distance has naturally been greatly expanded, basically covering the entire ancient ruins.

And with the help of the space system's abilities, he could also restore a three-dimensional map of this place in his mind, allowing him to grasp the surrounding situation more accurately and in detail.

Even if you don't find any road signs or anything like that, you don't have to worry about getting lost.

Could this be considered a benefit of having high [Inspiration]?

Judging from the map restored by Lloyd, the area covered by this relic is probably two times larger than the southern city area of ​​the Brilliant City.

Besides being large, it is also very deep.

Even the deep experimental area where everyone is currently located is not the deepest place. Further down here, there is a vast unknown area.

But no one knows what this area is used for. When Lloyd touched it with his inspiration, the result was "empty", as if it was just a simple underground hole?

Could it be that it was just unearthed and abandoned before it could be developed?

A little weird...

He was pondering this when he heard the people from the history department nearby had made some discoveries and began to discuss it.

"This is the research report of the Karma Demon... Is this damn place really researching such dangerous things? Is this unnatural life really artificially created?"

"What a bunch of lunatics... I'm afraid they are desperate and are trying every possible means to control this monster to gain an advantage on the battlefield?"

"I also found an accident report here. It records that the demon lost control once. During a battle against a monster, it suddenly broke free from control and turned against the monster on the spot... Then the experimenter was forced to start the self-destruction program..."

"But the self-destruction did not completely stop it, but instead created more demons? What does this mean? Isn't this thing artificial?"

"What does the report say later?"

"It's gone. It doesn't seem like it was lost. It seems more like it was only recorded here."

"Wait! I also found an experimental log here, which analyzes the reasons and probability of the Karma Demon losing control. Let me read it to you briefly..."

"The situation looks very bad. Several attempts at contingency plans have had little effect. The probability of losing control is gradually increasing, causing great trouble to the front line. Pressure from all sides is forcing us to give up research in this area..."

"They are a bunch of incompetent and cowardly guys. They don't realize the value of our research at all. They are killing the future of mankind with their own hands! Have they forgotten how they won the previous victories? As long as we can solve the problem of out-of-control, our future will be full of hope!"

"No! No! No! Why is it still wrong? He was so obedient before, why is he suddenly completely out of control? What's wrong?"

"Could it be... because of the influence of that thing down there?"

"We must get rid of the big guy down there first, otherwise the experiment won't be able to proceed!"

"Why didn't any of the experimenters who went down come back? Were they addicted to some kind of beauty?"

"Hahahaha, hahahaha, then I'll go down myself!"

"I want to personally witness that great being from ancient times. I am willing to give everything for it!"

"Uh... the log ends here. Judging from this, is there something else under this experimental area?"

Lloyd heard this and quickly interrupted and said:

"There is indeed a wider area, and it is impossible to explore it using inspiration..."

"Ah??? Lloyd, you dare to use your inspiration in such a place? Do you want to die?"

"Ahem, don't worry about such details. Anyway, I'll put the [projection] down and take a look."

Lloyd said as he pulled out his own [projection], calculated a suitable spatial coordinate, and then used a relatively reliable old-fashioned portal to control his [projection] to enter it.

Following the perspective of the [projection], Lloyd also came to the deepest underground of the ruins, and then he was a little surprised to find that his inspiration was not wrong and was not disturbed. There was actually an empty underground cave underneath?

This is not right, right? Whether from a logical analysis or from the log, it shouldn't be so empty down there, right?

Could it be that the final abandonment of this ancient base was not influenced by some great and precious object mentioned in the log?

However, judging from the various traces left behind, the people here evacuated in a hurry, so hastily that they even abandoned those important experimental records. It was obvious that they encountered something major and fled in panic.

It can't be that the existence of underground cavities causes the unstable geological structure, right?

Lloyd certainly didn't believe this explanation, so he controlled the [Projection] to fly around and look around, but still found nothing.

He thought about it, and first retracted the [Projection] a little, guarded near the landing point of the portal just now, and activated the self-defense function of the [Projection].

Then he activated a bunch of protective equipment on his body, unfolded the [Realm of Distortion], and activated a new version of teleportation, and disappeared silently from the spot.

He was planning to go down and take a look himself.

As soon as he gained his foothold at the previous landing point, his vision suddenly became blurred and he sensed a strange atmosphere, as if there was something in the air that he could not understand.

I even smelled a strong smell coming towards me, very...

Sweet and delicious?

Even Lloyd couldn't control himself. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva, awakening some memories in his mind that should have been forgotten long ago.

A strange thought came to my mind:

I haven't eaten this for a long time, I really want to try it again...

Fortunately, this loss of consciousness only lasted for a short moment. With the support of 8800 points of [rationality], Lloyd quickly regained his composure.

He quickly reached out to wipe the tears flowing from the corners of his mouth, then looked away again.

Although the hole was still empty, a bright and huge mushroom appeared in the center.

The mushroom was about one meter in size, dark red all over, and still wriggling slightly. It was unknown whether it was made of mycelium or flesh and blood.

The fragrance that awakened Lloyd's memory came from the mushrooms.

Even until now, it kept reminding Lloyd that this thing was delicious!

It must be delicious because Lloyd had actually tasted it back then.

It was picked for him by his 'good brother' himself.

That was probably his first full meal after traveling through time?
