Angel glanced at a dazzling block at the main control node and replied, "Indeed, the magical energy array on the fourth level has been fully activated, hmm... including the sensing methods you mentioned."
Kanter: "You’re beside the main control node now, can you take over the magical energy array on the fourth level?"
If Angel took over the magical energy array on the fourth level, they wouldn’t have to worry about being counterattacked by it.
Angel thought for a moment: "I can try, but the magical energy array here is very complex and might take a bit of time."
In other words, Angel was preparing to go silent again.
To prevent Angel from going offline the next moment, Nis quickly said: "Wait a minute, are you sure there’s no trouble on your side? No hunting sequence?"
Angel: "Everything is fine here, no hunting sequence detected, only sequence X0."
Mentioning sequence X, especially number 0 in the X sequence, the first thought that came to everyone’s mind was Reynaud, because he is number X1.
"Reynaud, are you sure you don’t know about sequence X0?"
Angel described the characteristics of X0, but Reynaud still looked confused: "I’ve never heard of this person."
Nis: "It seems that the internal 0 number in the laboratory is basically secret."
Even X0, the experimental subject, has never been exposed.
They chatted briefly again, and ended their short communication. Angel continued to let Toby and Dangross "hang" in the mind link, while he himself studied the magical energy array.
Originally, Angel wanted to study the magical inscriptions on the ground first, but the situation on Nis’s side was clearly more urgent. If it led to a backlash from the entire magical energy array, it would be somewhat dangerous. Therefore, Angel immediately began to analyze the magical energy array on the fourth level.
The advantage of the main control node is that it can monitor the magical energy array in real-time across every level, and act as the main authority. As long as Angel can thoroughly understand the magical energy array on the fourth level, it might be possible to take over.
Time silently slipped away as Angel concentrated on researching.
On the other side, Nis and the others were contemplating whether to continue towards the fifth level. They were already exposed to some people’s sight, and if they proceeded, there would definitely be obstruction. The overthrow of the magical energy array is quite formidable.
Nis and Kanter discussed for a while and ultimately decided to continue.
They were already within the magical energy array and categorized as intruders, stopping in place might also prompt the opposition to manipulate the magical energy array against them.
Thus, it might be better to proceed to the fifth level ahead of time.
Of course, if during this process, Angel could take over the magical energy array on the fourth level, that would be even better.
Thinking of this, Nis did not hesitate and continued towards the fifth level corridor.
A quarter of an hour later, Nis looked at a corridor so long it seemed to have no end, and expressionlessly turned to Reynaud: "Didn’t you say that after the last corridor, we’d see the exit position? Where’s the exit now? Are you sure you’re leading us the right way?"
Reynaud, who had been quite confident in guiding through other levels, now appeared somewhat hesitant.
"Should be, should be right." Reynaud’s voice was a bit weak, clearly lacking confidence.
"Should be?" Nis raised an eyebrow: "So, you’re not sure either?"
Reynaud hesitated for a moment: "I’m quite familiar with the fourth level, but the last fork in the road felt a bit unfamiliar..."
Nis recalled that Reynaud paused for half a minute at a junction not long ago, which was markedly different from his previous smooth navigation.
"Unfamiliar? Even you find it unfamiliar; does that mean you’ve never been there?"
Reynaud looked slightly embarrassed: "I feel like I’ve been to that junction, but my memory suddenly froze; perhaps the memory related to that junction is with my physical body?"
"So, you might have made a mistake at that junction?"
Reynaud weakly replied: "It’s possible, maybe we should go back and try another path..."
Nis sighed again, and indeed, there was no other choice but to turn back.
As they retraced their steps, the long-lost voice came through the mind link.
Angel: "I’ve generally understood the situation of the magical energy array on the fourth level."
Upon hearing Angel’s voice, Nis quickly asked: "How’s the situation?"
Angel pondered: "There’s good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
