Chapter 1117 Cursed Light

Although the laboratory was designed by him, Roland still felt a sense of shock when he saw it with his own eyes.

In this underground place that should have been invisible, the luminous magic stone illuminated the road ahead. The surrounding stone walls were covered with two-meter-square lead plates, finally forming a regular space the size of a basketball court.

The even and smooth lead baffles, with straight gaps interlaced with each other, looked lifeless with cold light falling on them. But it just so happens that this kind of room breeds an invisible beauty.

This is the beauty of the industrial age.

"If we fail to win the Battle of Divine Will, hundreds of years later, this place will become an ancient ruins, right?" Roland whispered.

Moreover, it is a ruin with a very different style, different from underground civilization and devils.

The delicate wear marks on the lead plate are the marks carved by humans.

"Maybe so." Pasha gently put the two of them down, "But I have never believed as much as I do now - I believe that humans will make it to the end."

"I think so too." Roland smiled and walked into the laboratory.

The entire room is divided into two areas, the operating area and the observation area - the two are separated by a concrete partition wall nearly half a meter thick, and are also hung with lead sheets. The glass placed in the center of the wall was specially made by Lucia. Lead oxide was added to the regular ingredients. Due to technical limitations, the light transmittance of lead glass is far less bright than that of later generations, but at least it allows people to see clearly on the opposite side. Case.

"Here you are, Your Majesty." A main beard stretched out from behind the door of the operating area, followed by Celine's huge body. Her appearance was quite a bit like a horror movie, except for the bolts and hair wrapped around her auxiliary beard. The ruler quickly weakened this feeling, "When I was installing the last lead plate, I heard Pasha's announcement. Have Zoe and the others brought the ancient relics back?"

"It's in this box." Roland placed the lead box on her main beard, then walked into the operating area and inspected it carefully.

"How's it going? This place is completely arranged according to your request," Celine raised her tentacles, "But is it really necessary to go so far? If the curse is just a kind of light, ordinary walls will be enough, right?"

"Just in case. If it is what I think, the light it emits is not only invisible to the naked eye, but also extremely penetrating. Ordinary walls can indeed block it, but at least that It has to be several meters thick." He turned back to look at the two ancient witches, "So don't act based on intuition - even if the original carrier has extremely high resistance, you still have to be careful before you fully understand the properties of the Rubik's Cube. Conduct trials in accordance with the charter.”

Because ionizing radiation can damage the DNA structure of cells and cause replication disorders, it is most harmful to tissues with fast metabolism. Organs such as the heart and brain that cannot be replaced once mature are much more resistant to ionizing radiation. Judging from the original carrier's lifespan of hundreds of years, the aging cycle is astonishingly long. In theory, it should also have a certain degree of immunity to radiation. This is also the reason why Roland handed over the test to Celine.

Celine laughed, "You look a bit like the president of the Quest Society now. Don't worry, strict rules have always been the principles followed by the Quest Society, and I won't be careless."

Roland nodded, "Then let's get started."

The isolation door was closed, and Celine was the only one left in the operating area.

Article 1 of the test regulations states that when studying the Ceremony Rubik's Cube, the exits inside and outside the laboratory must be closed. Except for the operator, others can only wait in the observation area.

Through the lead glass, Roland saw Celine opening the box and taking out the Rubik's Cube inside.

Just as Sean said, a shallow blue light flowed along the cracks in the stones and pointed directly at the coins placed on the test stand.

"Interesting thing," Celine looked at it for a while, "This thing isn't activated, is it?"

The isolation wall blocked the transmission of sound. Roland concentrated and replied with the same consciousness, "According to Sean, it was still closely contacted by the Earl of Grand Duke Island after it emitted blue light, so I think it was just an indicator or something." function."

"I understand." Celine grabbed the Rubik's Cube, and countless tentacles rushed towards it, instantly wrapping it into a ball.

"What...is she doing?" Nightingale asked.

"Perception." Pasha explained, "The tentacles are far more sensitive than human fingers. Not only do they have all the senses of touch, but they can also smell and remember every ridge and bump on the surface of an object. It is sunken. And a magic genius like Celine can directly construct its outline and details in his mind - unfortunately this part is described using carrier thoughts, and normal people cannot understand it even if they accept it."

"Can you see the picture she perceived?" Roland said slightly surprised.

"If she is willing to share." Pasha stretched out a tentacle and tapped it in front of the glass, "Now the Rubik's Cube is right in front of me."

This is really a convenient ability, just like a spiritual network... He used to think that it could only transmit consciousness, but he didn't expect that he could even share three-dimensional scenes.

"The length and width of the Festival Rubik's Cube are basically the same, about fifteen centimeters. It is hollow inside and you can feel the gaps. It doesn't look like a whole." Celine suddenly said.

"What's the meaning?"

"It's a bit like several stones put together. Wait... I seem to have found the mechanism. "

As soon as he finished speaking, the entangled tentacles dispersed one after another, and a small mouth opened behind the Rubik's Cube, as if the treasure buried for many years had finally opened its entrance.

"It's amazing," Roland couldn't help but sigh, "I actually figured out the clue so quickly."

It has been nearly a hundred years since the ritual Rubik's Cube was left among the people. Those who have dealt with it in the past must have messed with it a lot. But judging from the records, no one noticed that it was not actually a complete stone.

"I just said it's okay to leave it to her," Pasha said with a smile. "The magic core of the underground civilization was all repaired and pieced together by Celine from a broken state."

"Your Majesty, I have an idea," Celine put the tentacle into the small mouth to explore, "that is why it reacts to this coin alone. You said that the Rubik's Cube has been silent for many years. I thought it was magic power at first. The problem of running out is just like magic stones or sigils. But after getting the actual object, you should also notice that there is still magic power inside it. So what this thing lacks...could it be what you said, manufacturing The element of the sun’s radiance?”

"Same as I thought." Roland raised the corner of his mouth, "You can try to put the coins in - but this may activate the Rubik's Cube, so you have to be prepared for protection."

"Understood." Celine moved to the baffle on one side of the test bench - it was an arc-shaped lead block with four small holes in the center for the auxiliary whiskers to pass through. It was similar to a giant with observation holes. shield. After she dropped the uranium coin into the inside of the Rubik's Cube, the opening closed instantly, and the light at the top also turned crimson.

Guessed it!

Roland and Nightingale looked at each other and suddenly became excited.

Celine then fumbled for a while, and suddenly, a red light shot out from one end of the Rubik's Cube and fell straight on the wall, adding a new color to the cold laboratory.
