Fight against the Lord God and spread the power of collapse from Tokyo

Chapter 37 The Discovered Research Institute

"call--"

After slowly exhaling a breath, he looked at the Honkai-energy samurai sword in front of him, which was flashing a bright white color but was still a little crude compared to the one he used when facing the Honkai beast before. Guilongyuan Gaoyue tightly grasped the handle of the sword that fit his palm perfectly.

"…Although I have spent all my free time in the past two days recalling that feeling, I still cannot fully reproduce the weapons I used when facing the Honkai beasts?"

"This is?"

Ryuko Chan said subconsciously.

"what happened?"

"The weapon in the president's hand has changed in appearance?"

"Hmm...my breathing suddenly feels a little difficult."

"You too? I'm also suddenly feeling a bit palpitated..."

There were whispers coming from the surrounding student unions. If they were not in front of the president, they would probably have started to make a noise by now.

“…Don’t be nervous.”

At this time, Kiryuin Gaoyue gently raised the Honkai energy samurai sword and spoke in a low voice.

"This is just an application of Honkai energy on my part. Your palpitations are just an illusion caused by the increase in the concentration of Honkai energy around me due to my use of Honkai energy."

At this point, Guilongyuan Gaoyue glanced at Chanliuzi who was staring at him, thought for a moment and explained in detail: "Chanliuzi, do you still remember the weapon that scared away the Honkai Beast?"

"That weapon was created by chance using Honkai energy. Since that day, I have been thinking about how to re-manifest that weapon."

"But unfortunately, no matter how I meditate and recall that feeling, I can never recreate it perfectly again."

"Even now, I have only simply simulated a part of it to strengthen my weapon. It is far from the embodiment of that day."

After saying that, Guilongyuan Gaoyue turned his head and looked at the steel gate under his feet: "——But, this level is barely enough at the moment!"

Feeling the power surging from the weapon, Guilongyuan Gaoyue suddenly swung the blade towards the steel under his feet!

There was no sound and no obstruction.

Only after the Honkai energy on Kiryuin Satsuki's samurai sword slowly dissipated and the blade was neatly put back into the sheath, did the steel door make a dull bang!

When everyone looked, they saw that a small hole had been cut out on the gate, enough for one person to enter and exit, revealing the steel plate that was more than ten centimeters thick, as well as the downward sloping passage below!

"real or fake!?"

“This gate is made of steel, right?”

"President... can you even cut through steel?!"

This time, the whispers around could no longer be suppressed. Countless noisy noises sounded at the same time, and a large number of fiery and admiring eyes looked at Kiryuin Gaoyue and the samurai sword at her waist.

"This... is a Honkai weapon?"

But this time was different from the last time. Ryuko Matoi, who witnessed the complete transformation of Kiryuin Gaoyue into a Honkai weapon, and even seemed to have the reflection of the bright samurai sword in his pupils, instinctively grasped the large scissors behind him.

The next moment, a trace of Honkai energy slowly flowed out from Ryuko Chan's hand and spread toward the scissors. Although the magnitude of this Honkai energy was far from enough to compare with Kiryuin Gaoyue, it made the blade of the scissors behind Ryuko Chan begin to slowly brighten.

At this moment, the extremely penetrating voice of Guilongyuan Gaoyue suddenly rang out, interrupting the surrounding noise and also interrupting Chan Ryuko's thoughts.

"You guys, wait here until we come back. I'll go down with her!"

"Yes! President."

The students around responded loudly.

千!,寻,;小"!说?:!中';:!转:裙??!2'5!',5"':?5;'9?"!"5?3;."'0"0被惊醒的缠流子也一下松开了紧握的剪刀，站起了身。

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Guilongyuan Gaoyue looked over.

"..." Chan Liuzi recalled the vague feeling just now with doubt, and shook his head: "No, it's nothing. It may be because I am too close to the target and I am a little distracted. Compared to this...should we go down now?"

Reaching out to feel the airflow in the passage to make sure the air was flowing smoothly, Guilongyuan Gaoyue said indifferently, "If I don't let you go down now, you probably won't be able to sleep tonight."

"Just go down now."

After saying that, Guilongyuan Gaoyue jumped directly into the hole and slid down.

Ryuko Chan glanced at Guilongyuan Gaoyue in confusion... She always felt that there was something wrong with Guilongyuan Gaoyue's tone, as if they were getting closer.

"Forget it, let's focus here for now."

Chan Ryuko shook his head and threw away all distracting thoughts, then jumped down right behind Guilongyuan Gaoyue.

-----------------------------------------------

Yokohama, Ningguang Villa.

"Oh? Have Kiryuin Gaoyue and the others found the location? They were surprisingly quick this time."

"Then the next step is to find a way to bring the 'Research Base Related to Destiny' back into everyone's sight."

Thinking of this, Mo Ren, who was silently paying attention to the research institute, raised his lips slightly, put down the knife in his hand, and said to Ning Guang, who was a little tired, "Sister, you seem to be very busy recently."

"Hmm?" Ning Guang, who had been distracted for a while, came back to her senses, pinched her brows and looked up at Mo Ren: "A little bit, after all, the Governor is away for the time being, and the Deputy Governor is in the hospital. I am the one who is handling the affairs of the parliament, and also dealing with the imperial people... I am a bit busy."

"I see." Mo Ren advised: "Sister, don't work too hard. Your health is the most important thing."

"It's not good to be exhausted."

"Don't worry, I'll pay attention."

Ningguang nodded to her brother and gave a rare warm smile.

Seemingly feeling relieved, Mo Ren nodded and said casually, "Speaking of which... Sister, I have arranged the personnel for the research institute over there. We will officially start tomorrow when the people sent to send the instinct words come back."

"Sister, do you have any experience you can pass on to me? After all, this is my first time managing so many people."

"Experience?" Ningguang frowned, thought for a moment and said, "I have never managed a research institute, so it would be inappropriate to apply my business experience to a research institute, right?"

"Is that so?" Mo Ren showed a slightly distressed look.

Ningguang comforted Mo Ren and said, "How about this, I will transfer a few researchers with management experience from other research institutes in Yokohama to help you."

"That's not a good idea." Mo Ren shook his head. "Since they are doing well in the institute, they probably won't be willing to be transferred here suddenly, right?"

After that, as if thinking carefully, Moren made a suggestion: "Is there any management researcher who has retired long ago?"

"This kind of person has plenty of experience and is not burdened by his duties. Wouldn't he be more suitable? Anyway, I just need an assistant, so a retired person will be enough."

“Hmm.” Ningguang thought for a moment: “Is that so…”

"Then I'll make the arrangements. You can go back to the 11th District Research Center in Yokohama and ask. The files of non-current researchers in Tokyo should have been moved there. They are still being sorted out. You can go and see if there are any suitable people."

Hearing this, Mo Ren smiled and nodded: "Okay sister, I will definitely look through the 'before' records carefully."

"But there are archives from all times. Some are said to have archives from before the establishment of District 11." At this point, Ningguang shook her head: "You must be prepared to get nothing."

"Really... But I have a feeling that I might get something unexpected."

“I hope so.” Ningguang shook her head indifferently.

Chapter 38 Experiments and Honkai Energy

"Watch your step."

In the dark corridor, Guilongyuan Gaoyue walked in the thick dust on the ground, shining a flashlight in his hand forward while giving instructions to Chan Ryuko behind him.

"……OK."

Ryuko Chan, who was also holding a flashlight, agreed casually, but still shone the light around the corridor of the research institute instead of at his feet.

I don't know if it was for the convenience of transporting things, but this passage was built not like a straight elevator, but an inclined slope... If the outer door could be completely opened, according to the size of this passage, some smaller vehicles would probably be able to enter and exit.

Moreover, one can feel a trace of air flowing in this passage. Even though it has been closed for so many years, the underground research institute can still breathe normally...

But what concerned Ryuko Chan most was that this slope unexpectedly went deep underground. At this time, Ryuko Chan and Guiryuin Gaoyue had been walking underground for about ten minutes, and had not yet reached the end.

If he hadn't seen the footprints left by himself and Guilongyuan Gaoyue in the dust when he looked back, Chan Ryuko would have almost suspected that he had been trapped in a ghost wall and was going around in circles.

“It’s like a horror story.”

Matoi Ryuko muttered in a low voice.

At this moment, Guilongyuan Gaoyue, who was in front of Matoi Ryuko, suddenly stopped and her voice came over: "We're here!"

Surprised, Ryuko Matoi looked in the direction of the light from the flashlight that Kiryuin Gaoyue raised, and saw a closed door appear in the light of the flashlight.

“We’re finally here!”

Ryuko Chan let out a slight breath, walked past Guilongyuan Gaoyue and took a few quick steps to the gate.

"It seems there is no lock?"

After reaching out and tentatively pushing the door in front of him, looking at the handprints left on the shaking door and the dust and debris splashed up, Chan Liuzi said with some surprise.

"…Since the outer door is blocked, the inner door is not blocked, right?"

"And according to your father's diary, they were in a hurry to evacuate. It's possible that they forgot to lock the door."

Guilongyuan Gaoyue made a casual guess without paying any attention to the dust on the door, and simply stretched out his hand and pushed the door.

Accompanied by a cloud of dust, the heavy door was pushed open by Guilongyuan Gaoyue with a strange sound.

"Cough cough!"

Kiryuin Gaoyue and Matoi Ryuko covered their mouths and noses, listened to the echo coming from the passage behind them, looked at each other, and stepped into the open door.

"Is this where my father stayed?"

After the dust settled a little, Chan Ryuko took his hands away from his mouth and nose and muttered to himself.

As he spoke, Ryuko Chan shone the flashlight in his hand around, his eyes scanning the surroundings along with the light.

The room that appeared in front of the two people at this time was not a particularly spacious room. It could even be said to be a bit narrow. The low roof was less than three meters high, and the area of ​​several dozen square meters was filled with dead green plants, some shabby tables and chairs, and various sundries scattered on the ground...

All of this added a lot of eerie atmosphere to this already narrow and dark room.

"This should be a place like a checkpoint or reception hall, right?"

After the flashlight stayed on several shelters in the room that looked like beautiful decorations, Guilongyuan Gaoyue looked at several passages in the room that connected the surroundings and led to unknown places.

"...Where are we going next?"

Chan Liuzi, who also saw those passages, asked in a low voice.

These passages look exactly the same on the outside, they just lead to different directions, which made the hesitant Ryuko Matoi subconsciously ask Guiryuin Gaoyue.

At this time, Guilongyuan Gaoyue walked forward and shone the flashlight in his hand towards those passages.

I saw that these passages were exactly the same, with narrow spaces large enough for two people to walk side by side, doors corresponding to each other on both sides, and house numbers on the doors - it looked like an ordinary company office.

“Is it built like this because of space constraints?”

Guilongyuan Gaoyue thought silently and shone the light on the doorplates whose words "Xinming" were blurry but still barely recognizable.

"Lobby, cafeteria, laboratory, Research Room No. 1..."

After quickly looking at the room numbers in these corridors, Guilongyuan Gaoyue quickly made a choice.

She stood at the entrance of one of the passages, shining a flashlight inside, and looked at the room at the end marked as the data room and said, "Let's go to the data room first."

Although Guilongyuan Gaoyue is not interested in the research of the institute, his purpose is only to find the underground institute and avoid uncontrolled areas in the academy.

But since they have already arrived at the underground research institute, Guilongyuan Gaoyue does not recommend looking at the information in this research institute.

See if there is anything that can be used in the current college, and whether there is any relevant information about his mother and Tang Yishen.

As for the proposal of Guilongyuan Gaoyue, naturally, Chan Ryuko, whose original purpose was to find information about Chan, would not refuse.

The two people who reached a consensus walked directly towards the data room.

But what neither of them saw was that soon after Gui Long Yuan Gao Yue's flashlight passed over the hall's doorplate, a lavender light slowly began to shine out from the crack of the door...

Crunch-!

With a creaking sound caused by long-term inactivity, the door of the data room was pushed open by Guilongyuan Gaoyue.

"Is this the data room?"

After sweeping the flashlight across the data room, Matoi Ryuko showed a disappointed expression: "Isn't there almost nothing left?"
