Chapter 323 Too Childish, Master
The next target was the Imperial Observatory where the imperial teacher was hiding.
This place is located outside Taihe Gate, far away from their current location, separated by seventeen or eighteen palaces.
Everyone first sent Lan Cui back to Wanchun Palace where she worked, and then headed towards the Imperial Observatory.
Deep in the palace, the air was filled with fragrant mist.
Butterflies dance and flowers bloom on the road.
But what is dancing is the dead soul butterfly, and what is blooming is the Dan Tai Sui.
The palace maids who were parasitized by the strange flowers were scattered everywhere. Some squatted in the corners, while others strolled around, swaying madly, looking for prey everywhere.
The dead soul butterflies hovered and flew around them, which could be considered a cluster of flowers.
Traveling quickly.
Zhong Liang carried Yu Lao on his back and led the way in front, while Jiang Yuan and Huo Hu provided cover on both sides to disperse the approaching monsters.
In just a cup of tea, everyone arrived at their destination.
The Imperial Observatory stands in a large open space. It is deep and tall, with black tiles and green walls. It is nearly a hundred steps higher than ordinary palaces. It looks more like a lonely temple than a palace.
The surroundings are quiet and there is no strangeness.
The door was slightly opened with a gap as thick as three fingers, as if waiting for someone to visit.
This way of closing the door, which was both welcoming and rejecting, immediately made everyone alert.
Yu Lao: "The door is ajar, there must be something fishy going on."
Huo Hu also nodded: "For safety reasons, let's take a detour."
"It's not a big problem."
Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, "It will be a little dangerous next. Follow me closely and don't fall behind."
Based on his understanding of Jiang Jian, even if he took a detour, there would definitely be many traps. Instead of wasting time, it is better to rush forward!
He knocked on the door with his hand, stepped over the step, and with two clicks, he rushed into the Imperial Observatory at lightning speed.
Huo Hu was about to catch up, but he realized something was wrong---!
Whoosh----!
The wind was whistling and the man took three steps back, barely avoiding the two giant beheading axes that were falling from the sky on his left and right!
Before he could recover, explosions were heard in the Imperial Observatory. Huge rocks rolled out from the main hall, chasing Jiang Yuan around until they fell into the Ten Thousand Snakes Pit.
Then there are giant thorn arrays, rotten bone pools, heart-piercing arrow rains, evil ghost banners...all kinds of traps, one after another, it is very lively.
In the small courtyard, there were hundreds of deadly traps, filling it up like a large trap supermarket.
But so what?
Even though every step was difficult, Jiang Yuan didn't take it seriously. He either avoided the traps or dodged them before they appeared, or even used the characteristics of the traps to counteract each other. In the blink of an eye, he rushed into the main hall and passed the level without any injury.
Now, the pressure is on the three teammates.
The three of them stood at the gate of the Imperial Observatory, looking at the hustle and bustle inside, not knowing where to start.
Yu Lao sat on Zhong Liang's shoulder and asked, "Why don't you follow?"
Zhong Liang glared: "Fuck you, you are really sitting on my head without any pain, how can I follow you!"
Huo Hu wiped his sweat and said, "...wait a little longer, there's no rush."
I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
Huo Hu felt that Jiang Yuan was no longer as relaxed as before. He was restless and irritable, as if he wanted to rush directly to Jiang Jian and twist his head off and chop it into meat sauce.
Inside the main hall of the Imperial Observatory, there are many bookcases and simple furnishings. Instruments for astronomy and divination as well as books and materials are placed everywhere. No matter how you look at it, it is just an ordinary ancient office.
There was a cup of tea on the desk in the middle, with steam rising up and drifting out of the wide-open wooden window.
It was as if someone was sitting here drinking tea, heard the noise outside, and opened the window and ran away.
Too childish, Master.
Jiang Yuan saw through the trap at a glance, walked over the desk and came to the wall facing the door.
There is a huge star map hanging here. On the black paper, stars are shining, and each pearl represents a star.
Jiang Yuan watched for a moment, then reached out and swapped a dozen of the pearls, took out the three extra ones, and threw them into the warm teacup.
The next moment, the ground trembled slightly, the walls flipped, and the entire main hall began to change----
Slightly---
Creak-----
Boom boom boom----
When Huo Hu and his companions entered, the entire interior of the main hall had changed.
The pale ceiling lights lit up automatically, the stone floor turned into marble, the wooden walls flipped into explosion-proof steel walls, and electrical circuits, networks, and various mechanical equipment were all available, turning it into a highly modernized research institute.
On the south side of the first floor, there is a tempered spiral staircase leading to the underground. Going down from here is a huge space comparable to a football field, which almost hollowed out the entire underground of the Imperial Observatory.
The basement was a mess, with the floor littered with instant noodle boxes, biscuit boxes, plastic bags, fruit peels, paper scraps and other household garbage.
It was obvious that someone had lived here for a long time.
There were many dismantled door frames and door panels on the walls and on the ground, piled up in a mess. It looked more like a recycling station than a research institute.
There were strange patterns painted on the colorful door panels, and Huo Hu was shocked when he saw them.
"Are these all tricks?"
"Well, it's all emptied out."
Jiang Yuan said: "It seems that the old man is here, doing research on Gui Men."
He pointed to the destroyed computer console and asked, "Huo Hu, can this be restored?"
Huo Hu: "I'll try."
He clicked on an old-fashioned silver tin flashlight from the mobile phone app.
This is a time flashlight. Just shine it on an object and rotate the knob on the flashlight to restore the object to a specific point in time.
This item can only be used on low-level items. Although the effect can only last for half an hour, it is more than enough for them now.
Huo Hu restored the computer to its working state. Yu Lao quickly flipped through the documents, extracting key points from the redundant information, but the more he read, the more frightened he became.
"Jiang Jian really has a prop in his hand that can control the game."
"He used this item to suck the souls of all the living beings in these 3,700-plus doors. As long as he collects another 80,000 souls, he can make this game surpass... the level of extinction."
"Beyond the level of extinction?"
Zhongliang took a breath and said, "How much trouble is that?!"
The previous inversion of the Heavenly Palace had already dealt a heavy blow to the Security Department. If another one comes that is beyond the level of extinction, will the people of this Earth still be able to survive?
Yu Lao said seriously: "If the game exceeds the extinction level and the players' abilities are infinitely suppressed, then once this game appears, it will kill everyone on Earth and cause real suffering!
In our academic community, we have always speculated about this, so we have already given this level a name, which is..."
"net."
Jiang Yuan blurted out.
Old Yu nodded: "Yes, it is completely clean. As long as the clean-level game appears in the world, then... it's not right!"
"This is our internal secret. How could you..." The old man's eyes widened, his eyebrows raised, and he said angrily:
"You planted a spy in my house too!?"
Jiang Yuan fumbled around and said calmly, "What do you mean by placement? This is my care for you old people."
During the period when Jiang Yuan was hostile to the whole world, he planted many spies around these senior politicians.
Almost every time the top executives hold a meeting in the morning, Jiang Yuan can come up with a plan by noon and play these people around.
The so-called internal secrets were nothing more than a collection of jokes he told after dinner.
The elder of the Yu family couldn't hold it in any longer: "You rascal...!!!"
He was halfway through cursing when he was interrupted by a strange noise.
Click---!
The originally blank wall on the west side suddenly cracked, revealing a piece the size of a refrigerator.
Jiang Yuan felt around on the west wall for a few minutes and finally opened the deepest hidden safe.
The warehouse door, which was as thick as a city wall, slowly opened, and what came into view was a deep and empty scene.
But it's not all bad.
There were some scraps of paper and fruit peels scattered on the floor of the ten-square-meter safe, like a ruthless mockery of Jiang Yuan.
He propped up the entrance to the safe with a stool, walked in and took a look around. After making sure that all important items had been moved away, he was about to leave when he spotted a familiar object next to a waste paper box.
Looking at the object, the Son of God felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, his brows tightened, and he walked over. He saw a white round paper package like a jade plate lying on the ground under several plastic bags. It would be easy to overlook it if you were not careful.
Jiang Yuan bent down to pick it up, opened the wrinkled paper wrapping, and saw that there was indeed a dark brown tea cake inside.
There is a piece the size of a fingernail missing from the upper left corner of the tea cake, not more, not less, just enough to make a cup of hot tea.
It was that year that Jiang Yuan personally broke it off and made it for Jiang Jian.
Looking at this apprenticeship gift that was abandoned like trash deep in the safe, Jiang Yuan felt a tightness in his chest, his eyes felt sore, and he fell into a trance for a moment.
In fact, Jiang Jian didn't want to accept Jiang Yuan as his disciple at first.
But the bench wouldn't let the carrying pole be tied to it, and the carrying pole insisted on being tied to the bench.
The young Son of God took a liking to Jiang Jian and insisted on making him his apprentice.
the reason is simple.
Every time Jiang Yuan got into trouble at school and the teacher asked him to call his parents, little Jiang Yuan didn't dare to bother Ms. Jiang, so he would beg Jiang Jian to let him go to school to trick the teacher in his father's name.
