Chapter 31: Unauthorized Action
Professor Nivanch never allowed anyone to approach his lab building unless he was personally leading it.
I remember one time, the naughty little slingshot came here because of chasing a magic cat, and only stood on the steps of the first floor for a short while, and was scolded by the professor, so aggrieved that the little guy was in tears, and then secretly told people that at that time he simply suspected that Nivanch was not his own grandfather.
Mengqi expected that his unauthorized approach would sooner or later trigger the detector to send a signal, and let Nivanch detect his intrusion. But the wisdom city is in danger, if he can't find out who is the spy and eliminate the strange light and the unknown particles in the atmosphere, whether it is a human or a demon here, he can only wait for death, how can he not take a risk?
So Mengqi put aside his worries, turned into an illusory appearance in the way of penetrating into people's dreams, and slipped around the wall roots, and came to the laboratory where the storage bottle of the unknown light source was placed without danger.
The instrument that can open the door by pressing a finger is quietly embedded in the wall, Mengqi arches the black, pointed claws in front of his eyes, looking left and right but he can't see where there are fingerprints, but without fingerprints, how can he pass the instrument verification and open the metal door?
The heavy metal door, which could become as light as a feather under Nivanki's fingers, was now an insurmountable obstacle to Mengqi. But he gave up his plan like this, and honestly went back to the house to sleep, Mengqi was not reconciled, he slid against the wall and sat on the ground, his mind was fiercely engaged in the ideological struggle, and looked at the two paws again, counting one finger after another: "In~No~In~"
Ten claw fingers, the first one is "in", and the last one is "not in", Mengqi frowned when he looked at this result, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he changed the way to use "not enter" for the first claw finger, and then counted to the last one, and the result was changed to "in".
"Hahaha~ The result of the lot is to let me in, this is God's will, the professor can't blame me!" Mengqi played tricks with himself, and when he got the desired result, he closed his eyes and let his subconscious mind fall asleep.
"Oops~" Dizzy, Mengqi slammed his head against a solid hard object as he walked forward, hurting him so hard that he bared his teeth. The thing was cold and cold, and as soon as the cold feeling hit his heart, he was startled, and secretly thought: "Oh no, even if you use the dream stealing technique, wouldn't it be successful to break into the laboratory by dreaming into the way?" When did the Dream Thief of the Mengqi clan miss? I don't want to disgrace my people! ”
It turned out that the method used by Mengqi to decide to invade the laboratory was the dream theft technique that Mengqi and his family were best at. It is said that no matter how tightly sealed the place is, even if it can't penetrate even smoke, as long as there are living creatures in it, they can sleep and dream, and the Mengqi clan has a way to sneak in through the dream.
Knivanki said that the unknown particle is still a mysterious and unknown territory for the scientists of the smart city, not to mention the strange light, and few people in the entire city-state know about its existence at all. Rushing into the dreams of those things is likely to further provoke their hostility towards the city, leading them to take extreme actions that will lead to the city's early demise, so they must not act rashly.
For more than a month, Ni Vanqi was in a dilemma, sitting in front of various analytical instruments every day and observing carefully, intending to have a deeper understanding of the light source to judge whether he could use Mengqi, and the final result of his observation was to give up the dream exploration plan.
Tonight, Mengqi acted on his own, and he had no idea how much risk he was taking. In his simple thoughts, if he can't fall asleep, he will die, so why not die clearly, instead of dying in a daze?
The little guy thought he was more courageous than the professor, and proudly performed the dream theft, but he was a little intimidated when he hit a hard object, thinking that the trick had not yet worked, and failed.
"Hey~" sighed, Mengqi planned to withdraw the spell and retreat outside the laboratory building.
"Hey~" The same sigh suddenly sounded, reverberating in the empty space, but the effect was enough to frighten people to death.
"Oops! What is it? I scanned the front of the building just now, but I didn't find anything abnormal! ”
Mengqi screamed in fright, and retreated with his hands on the ground, but he couldn't find a way to escape in the darkness.
"I want to go home! After coming to the King Continent for so long, it is estimated that he will never be able to go back. Host, I'm so sad......"
The thing that was sighing, as if it didn't notice the existence of Mengqi, only let out a low cry of grief.
"Master? Could it be that the guy who spoke was also a demon seed? Why didn't he answer me? ”
Mengqi felt inexplicable, but the fear was gradually decreasing, and he rubbed his eyes vigorously, rubbing the left side and the right side, trying to see what was going on in front of him.
Ah~ The light is coming!
A faint, dark red starlight leaps and dances through the darkness, then slowly rises and begins to increase in brightness. It wasn't the result of Mengqi rubbing his eyes, but something was waking up from the darkness and revealing its true face.
It didn't take long for Mengqi to see clearly, what was rising was actually a black ball the size of his fist, which was too dark to appear in the dark at first, but then it was a point of light from the ball, and the shape could be seen clearly.
The ball is cracking, the initial point of light is elongated or widened, showing a long strip, or a circle, or a square spot of light, from a distance, such as from countless cracks blooming bright flowers, flowers are radiant, that kind of power should belong to light energy, powerful light energy illuminates the world outside the ball.
"Monster! You...... What kind of monster are you? How did it come from a black ball to something like this? ”
In the strange light source, Mengqi was even more frightened than when he was in the dark. Those colorful lights, he looked extremely familiar, he had just seen them in the Demon King's dream, they were things that Professor Nivanch had put in a glass bottle and had been doing research for many years!
But the thing was changing, talking to himself, as if he didn't notice the existence of Mengqi at all, so Mengqi understood that what he entered was just a dream made by that thing, and the dream was illusory, and the self in the dream was also illusory, and this illusion was his talisman that could protect him from being discovered by the target of the reconnaissance. If he continues to struggle and question, he may wake up the other party and do bad things!
"It turns out that the light collected by the professor really exploded from this weird black ball. But where did these black ball creatures come from? What the hell is the idea of fighting the King Continent again? If I can't communicate with the black ball, I won't be able to figure it out! ”
Mengqi was anxious, and his brain was also spinning quickly to find a countermeasure.
Suddenly, he recalled the dream of the Demon King, when the black ball exploded, the tint produced a pinprick itching sensation that was unbearable for him, and after the black ball exploded in front of him, why couldn't he feel anything?
