Chapter 326 My Work
Malu knocked down the last three guards, then climbed up the rope with Skylark.

However, they only climbed up seven floors before they ran into the three Ouroboros again. They stopped there because of the four cameras not far away.

Seeing this, Yunque volunteered, took out a sniper rifle and wanted to shoot down the four cameras, but was stopped by Malu.

He observed the situation on the upper floor through the chessboard map and could clearly see the laser weapons set up in the corridor, some of which were facing the glass curtain wall.

If nothing goes wrong, they should be able to establish some kind of linkage with the cameras outside. Once the lens is destroyed, these weapons are likely to be activated.

At this time, the second wave of guards arrived. After finding that Malu and others had disappeared, they began to search on the spot.

A man approached the glass curtain wall and stuck his head out. Before he could look up, the millipede had already emitted a yellow arc of light, causing the unlucky guy to join the vomiting army.

However, this only slightly delayed the time for them to be discovered. In fact, a person who was vomiting had already pointed out the window.

Malu then said to the four witches beside him, "Okay, come here, stay close to me, and wait for my order. Then we will all rush up together."

"What about the cameras?" asked the Bird of Paradise.

“Just pretend they don’t exist.”

As soon as Malu finished speaking, another guard had rushed to the glass curtain wall. This time they had learned their lesson. They raised their heads to look outside and then immediately retracted their gazes, not giving Malu a chance to aim.

At the same time, they took out their weapons and prepared to fight back. However, when they stuck their heads out again, they found that Malu and others had disappeared.

There was only a single rope left outside the curtain wall of the giant tower. The guards looked at each other in bewilderment.

At the critical moment, Malu used his knight's skill - the invisibility cloak.

This skill provides invisibility to all friendly units within a grid, but the effect only lasts for 45 seconds.

Taking advantage of these 45 seconds, Malu, Yunque and others continued to charge towards the top floor.

However, in stealth mode, the four people could not see each other. As soon as the millipede accelerated, it collided with the skylark in front, and then the skylark collided with the bird of paradise.

The speed of the three people suddenly slowed down, and the hellhound in the front almost rushed out of the range of the invisibility cloak and became a sitting duck because it ran too fast.

Fortunately, Malu discovered this on the chessboard map and called her in time.

But by the time the five people had organized their formation and climbed up only four floors, the 5-second skill time was almost up.

Seeing that the five people were about to be exposed, Malu quickly activated another knight skill - secondary ignition.

This is a new active skill he obtained after the knight level reached 16. Its effect is to make a skill that has entered a cooling state available for use immediately.

Millipede released the invisibility cloak again by re-ignition and continued to climb to the top of the tower.

With the experience from the previous time, they climbed much faster this time and finally arrived outside the 211th floor.

The Hellhound used a robotic arm to break the glass exterior wall, and the five people rushed into the building at the last second.

Ouroboros rolled over and quickly got up, ready to fight. However, when she looked around, she was stunned. Contrary to her expectations, this floor did not have any guards or defense devices, not even the corridors and iron doors of other floors. It was a completely open space.

It looks like a laboratory, but the instruments and equipment inside look weird.

In addition, there was a white-haired, skinny old man who was naked and patting a mushroom on the table.

He was a little surprised by the arrival of Malu and others, but there was no panic on his face. He just continued to slap the mushroom in his hand until the mushroom spit out some brown juice.

The old man filled a pot with the kettle at hand and pointed to the cabinet beside him.

"I didn't expect to have visitors today... I'm sorry to have let you see such an inappropriate scene. Do you mind if I go put on some clothes first?"

Malu shook his head and said, "That's it. I don't know if there are any hidden mechanisms here, and I can't guarantee that you won't take advantage of the opportunity to play some tricks."

The old man was not angry when he heard this, but nodded. "Your suspicion is reasonable. Besides, the shame brought by nakedness is just a product of culture and social rules. Considering the time point we are in, everything is collapsing. It really doesn't matter whether we wear clothes or not."

The old man paused, then raised the kettle in his hand, "Does anyone want a drink? This cocoa mushroom juice tastes pretty good. It's my favorite, and every time I drink it, it reminds me of an old friend."

"Who are you?" Ouroboros blurted out, "Why do you live here?"

"He is Yongyi."

Before the old woman could speak, Malu answered her question.

"Prophet Yongyi, how is this possible? Wasn't he a person who lived more than 300 years ago?" Ouroboros said in shock.

There is also a statue of the prophet Yongyi in Renxin Square. Yongyi there is tall and majestic, and his eyes are full of determination and hope.

The old man in front of him was thin and short, with a hunched back, wrinkled skin wrapped around his bones, and it seemed as if there was no flesh and blood underneath.

However, upon closer inspection, there are indeed some similarities between their brows, and they both have a unique calm temperament.

"Interesting," the old man smiled, "I didn't expect there would be someone in the world who could recognize me."

Then he looked at Ouroboros again and patiently explained, "When I was young, I met a very special friend. He... was not from this universe. Later, he died, and I inherited his legacy.

"Everything you see here belongs to him, including the hibernation chamber that looks like a carnivorous plant by the wall."

Yongyi said, "I relied on that thing to live until now, but I was asleep for most of the past three hundred years... I was not awake for a long time, and even so, I still became the old and frail person I am now.

“Haha, that hibernation chamber can indeed delay the aging of the body to a certain extent, but that’s all. Even in hibernation, I am still aging, just at a slower rate.

"So strictly speaking, I didn't use it to extend my life. On the contrary, because of my deep sleep, I almost wasted twenty years of my life."

"Then why are you doing this?"

"In order to conduct my experiments," Yongyi answered simply, "I have to control the variables and record and observe the results of the experiments. This is what I do when I am awake."
