Quadruple split.

Chapter 2407 Great value for money

"Woo——"

Bathed in the blood-red light that was flashing at a high frequency every second and was making people feel increasingly uncomfortable, Yaya subconsciously wrinkled his nose and let out a few threatening growls.

"It looks like there's been some bad accident here."

Pesci frowned slightly, looked around the unusually spacious 'front hall' filled with broken walls and ruins, and asked casually, "Can we contact Xiaolu?"

"no problem."

Almost at the moment when Klaus's voice disappeared, Ji Xiaoge opened the friend list and confirmed the situation with Lu Jiang immediately. He nodded vigorously and said seriously: "He said that Mr. Klaus is working hard to adjust the equipment and it is expected that he can capture the signal from our side within 30 minutes..."

Pei Xi shook her head, waved her hand to signal Ji Xiaoge not to continue conveying the message, and then said softly: "Tell Klaus not to bother with those things anymore. This place has become a strong interference area. Even the several monitoring devices I brought with me are in serious chaos. Although it is not impossible to recover, the most cost-effective idea is for us to find the source of the interference instead of letting him make large frequency adjustments."

"clear."

Ji Xiaoge, who was hovering in the air, nodded slightly, and two seconds later said seriously: "Okay, Mr. Klaus has turned off the recording equipment and is on standby for the time being."

Peschi nodded to indicate that she heard it, then quickly walked to a long milky white table covered with cracks in front of her and lowered her head to study it.

The others were cautiously on guard around them. Perhaps because the blood-red light was constantly flickering, everyone's spirits were subconsciously tense and their expressions looked very solemn.

"It's safe here. If you hate the 'warning light', you can find a manual switch to restart the lighting."

Peschi, who was studying the table, said this without even looking up, and then added, "It should be a rectangular metal plate with several concentric circles. Focus on checking the walls. Those switches may have decorative casings outside. If you look carefully, it shouldn't be hard to find them."

As soon as these words were spoken, except for Largo and Gu Xiaole who continued to protect Pesci closely, everyone immediately dispersed to look for the switch. Even Wang Badan cursed as he moved his body and looked at the wall, trying to turn off the dazzling red light that should theoretically be accompanied by a sharp explosion.

And just as Peschi said, the so-called switch was indeed not difficult to find. In less than three minutes, Ji Xiaoge found the panel behind a severely faded decorative oil painting. Then, he used his professional knowledge to lock the lighting switch and reset it.

hum-

The next moment, the light that almost illuminated the place into daylight came on again, and everyone finally got rid of the anxious warning light and breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

Then, they were in a mood to look around carefully, observing the "front hall" where, as Peschi said, a serious accident seemed to have occurred.

There is no sign to prove its 'identity'. The furnishings in this hall are extremely plain. It can be seen that even if it has not been in chaos, its style revolves around the concepts of simplicity and efficiency.

"Transit Hall."

Pei Xi placed both hands on the table in front of her and said to everyone in a serious tone, "If nothing unexpected happens here, this should be the transportation hub of the front half of the ruins. I just noticed that there are almost three to five quick passages behind each wall, which can allow those who meet the conditions to move quickly over short distances through space magic. However, judging from the fact that these passages are locked, there is probably something wrong with the energy supply device deep inside."

Because it concerns the safety of [Loya], Lal, who was protecting Peshi, immediately asked, "So you already know who this building is for and what it is used for?"

"Unfortunately, I have no idea what this is about as of now."

Peschi shook his head and explained to Largo casually, "The reason why we can make a basic judgment is that the layouts of most of these facilities are not much different. After all, intelligent creatures have commonalities to a certain extent, so many simple basic designs are very similar. Do you understand?"

Largo immediately nodded silently, indicating that he understood, and had no intention of asking any more questions.

"The regular channel is still there, but the most urgent task now is to restore contact. Klaus has a large number of devices that can perform in-depth analysis. There is no reason for us not to keep them in use."

Peschi piled various equipment on the table in front of her, which she had temporarily used as a workbench. She narrowed her eyes and stared at the readings fed back by one of the small devices. "What we can be sure of now is that this 'front hall' we are in is a huge source of interference. In other words, when this ruins was not yet a ruins, it not only fell into a state of alert after a very critical situation broke out, but also began to perform high-intensity shielding operations, isolating itself from the outside world."

Jadeka frowned and said in confusion: "Logically speaking, if there is an unsolvable accident inside the facility, such as a lot of staff being trapped, then shouldn't the most reasonable action be to seek help from the outside world? Why do we have to cut off contact with the outside world?"

"From my personal judgment, this is probably because of one of the 'facilities' or 'accidents', or both. There is some hidden secret that is inconvenient to be revealed to the public."

Although Peshit had less life experience than Jadka, he had extremely rich experience in related fields. He answered without hesitation and added, "Not only that, although the shielding operation can cut off contact with the outside world, it can also be regarded as a signal. After all, most of these facilities have regular communication rules. If one party suddenly loses contact, the relevant parties will definitely come to confirm the situation, but..."

She frowned slightly and looked around at the empty ruins. After a long while, she continued, "It's just that this place seems to have been unable to wait for the arrival of 'reinforcements'."

Pei Xi's rare sad tone made the atmosphere a little solemn, but soon, Gu Xiaole, who was standing next to her, broke the silence with a smile and said happily: "So, our main goal at this stage is to stop the shielding device that has been running for who knows how long and restore contact with the outside world, right?"

"Yes."

Peschi nodded and said seriously, "The equipment we brought this time has a very limited lifespan, but is very powerful. If we can find a way to remove the shielding, Klaus can theoretically stay in touch with us throughout the process."

Gu Xiaole nodded and asked, "What is the core issue now?"

"It is not possible to determine the exact location of the shielding device, and once the exact location is determined, there is not necessarily authority to turn it off."

Peschi picked up the device that was constantly refreshing the readings, and walked slowly forward in a random direction while explaining, "So I have to use a relatively primitive method to continuously observe the shielding strength, and then after finding the general direction, I can reverse the position of the 'switch' through the location of the 'core'. The whole process will not take too long, so you can take a brief rest."

"Xiao Le, go take a rest."

Largo, who knew very well how tiring close protection was, smiled at Gu Xiaole and said cheerfully, "I've been taken around everywhere by this girl since I was a child, and I'm used to it. You should take good care of yourself, and when we set out again later..."

"Wait."

As a result, Gu Xiaole interrupted Largo with a thoughtful look on his face, then suddenly turned to look at Ji Xiaoge who was on alert in mid-air, and waved, "Little pigeon! Come here!"

"what?"

Ji Xiaoge was stunned at first, then she put away the [Gateline Valkyrie] in her hand and flew down, standing lightly in front of Gu Xiaole: "What's wrong, Sister Xiaole?"

"I remember you have a lot of powerful equipment on you, right?" Gu Xiaole blinked at the battlefield engineer in front of him who had completely regarded himself as a flying scout, and said, "Sister Peixi is troubled by not being able to find the source of the interference."

"Looking for the source of interference?"

The winged girl, who had not paid attention to the conversation just now, shook her wings, and then took out a magic crystal board from her bag, which Lu Wei had given her at some point, and then threw two matching "rune probes" into the air, and gently stroked the crystal board with her little hand a few times: "Let me try it!"

The next second, the two shuttle-shaped probes emitting faint blue light flew around in the air and flashed at a high frequency in full view of everyone. Finally—

"Uh, I think it should be there."

Ji Xiaoge looked down at the magic crystal board that suddenly refreshed a large amount of data, raised his hand and pointed at the ceiling on the side of the entrance of the room: "The source of interference seems to be in the mezzanine about three meters above there."

"Wang-"

Yaya was the first to jump to the designated position. With a slight exertion of force on her two straight and healthy long legs, she jumped high. Then she did a somersault in the air and tried to insert the Altaïr Cutting Blade in her left hand into the ceiling. However, there was a sharp sound of fighting and a blue-purple arc of light suddenly burst out between the Cutting Blade and the ceiling, which not only bounced the Cutting Blade away, but also paralyzed Yaya's body.

【Strange·Swift Wind】

Then a swift shadow flashed by, and Mo Tan, holding a dagger, crossed more than ten meters in an instant, caught Ya Ya who was about to be pressed to the ground by a powerful force, and while slightly bending his legs to relieve the force, he swung out the [Xiao·Ruthless Sword] with his backhand, and used an extremely sharp sword light to shatter the two arcs of light that followed closely behind.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"Well...I owe you one."

Almost at the moment of being hit by the arc of light, he fell into a frenzy state. As a result, just as he lifted the [Wang's Claw] that would bring great burden to his body in the current state, it was caught by Mo Tan. Yaya pursed his lips and muttered something, then said unwillingly: "But even if you don't come, Wang... Bah, bah, bah, I will be fine, I'm very powerful."

"Well, I know you are amazing."

Mo Tan smiled, and then let go of this companion whose eyes were already coated with a layer of blood red, and whose common language level would be greatly improved in the frenzy state. Then he cautiously placed the [Xiao·Longyuan Stick] across the direction where the arcs of light had just fallen: "Just in case."

"Very handsome."

Yaya tilted his head and rubbed Motan's shoulder twice, then inserted the Altaïr Cutting Blade in his left hand into the 'Tenguin Cloth Box' behind him, turning it into a [Brutalist] with a huge gear connected to the end. He gritted his teeth and said, "You protect me, I'm going to smash that ceiling!"

"Don't..."

"Wait a mininute."

At this moment, Peschi, who was dazed for a rare time, finally came to her senses and ran towards the two of them while loudly stopping them, "The security measures here are very comprehensive. In order to avoid a chain reaction, let me handle it."

Although her personality would become more "crazy" after entering the berserk state, Yaya was also a very professional adventurer. So since this expert and one of her employers said so, she naturally did not insist on fighting against the ceiling. Instead, she quietly inserted another Altaïr blade into the "Sacred Armor Box", turning it into a [Flesh Ripper] with a huge drill embedded on the top.

"Well, just leave it to me."

After telling Yaya something with some concern again, Peschi slightly raised the device in his hand that the Archaeologists Association had spent a lot of money to order in Craftsmen Town, but ended up crushing it in terms of performance, and confirmed that this was indeed the place with the highest interference intensity.

Ji Xiaoge also flew over with her wings flapping, holding her tablet with an embarrassed look and asked, "Is this the place, Sister Peixi?"

"This is it."

Pei Xi nodded slightly, without looking at the board in Ji Xiaoge's hand, and said directly to the girl: "I need to find the switch of the interference device now. It should be searched one area at a time using traditional methods, but..."

Ji Xiaoge immediately understood what he meant and asked enthusiastically, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

"This type of switch is usually remotely controlled and is unlikely to use a physical link or a tangible elemental array."

Peschi looked up at the ceiling that Yaya had hated, and said seriously, "According to my guess, the interference core area should have a relatively stable parameter hidden, and another place in this hall with similar parameters is the approximate location of the switch."

"Oh! So as long as I can find that location, it will be fine, right?"

"Logically, this kind of thing should be impossible to do, but you...eh?"

Peschi was halfway through her sentence when her eyes suddenly widened.

at the same time--

"As expected of Ms. Pesci."

Klaus's clear and steady voice came from the equipment behind Largo, and his words were full of admiration: "Such a strong interference was dealt with so quickly."

"No, not me..."

Peixi shook her head subconsciously, and then she felt someone tugging at her sleeve. She turned around and saw Gu Xiaole happily making a scissors gesture to her.

"I just took down that device with my spirit form!"

"Largo..."

"Ok?"

"It's better to give more commission..."

"Hey, I'll just say it!"
