The prototype of the tal plague had been understood, yet no one paid much attention to it. After all, modifying an existing disease in such a design was quite common. Najia rely lanted that the prototype was so rare.
The room where the tal Rhinoceros was located was the end of the corridor. At that mont, the door was hidden within the wall. However, seeing the tal wall full of scratch marks, Feng Yuan frowned; sothing seed off about this place.
"A biochemical experint creature? It looks pretty ferocious,"
Veronia said with a quirky expression while touching her chin. Although she hadn’t seen the tal Rhinoceros in battle, judging by the condition of this place, the creature’s destructive power was probably not low.
After all, they knew the strength of the tal wall. To leave such deep scratches on it, the destructive ability must not be less than Legendary Level. However, Feng Yuan was unsure what the purpose of manifesting Legendary Level beings in large-scale Abnormal Space was.
Even with a part of the crucial core abilities missing, creating each Legendary Level being out of thin air consud significant resources. Even with the unique attributes of the Data Domain, it was a substantial cost for the Abnormal Space.
Moreover, the strange tal Rhinoceros seed more like a small boss in an amusent ride, as the main bosses are usually at the end of the level, right? They had yet to check the other side of the corridor.
"This place doesn’t seem like a haunted house; it feels more like an escape room?"
Yang Hongzhi said, frowning. The place wasn’t that scary, but for an escape room, it didn’t quite seem like one either.
"Who cares? Will pressing that switch activate sothing weird?"
Feng Yuan said nonchalantly, shrugging his shoulders, his gaze fixed on a pillar in the distance. On that pillar was a very conspicuous red button, perhaps the chanism for moving forward. Yet, in this broken place, it felt like pressing it would trap them.
"Hard to say, but it doesn’t seem that complicated."
Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan and said with a slight smile, as Crystal Rose sent out a branch from the void, quickly extending it to press down lightly.
The expected event did not happen. Veronia frowned slightly and said,
"The button doesn’t press, seemingly stuck on sothing."
"Could it be..."
Examining the floor covered with tal fragnts, Feng Yuan’s expression changed as he realized sothing. Yang Hongzhi understood and said,
"Wait here for ."
With that, Yang Hongzhi turned and ran back the way they ca. Veronia, puzzled, watched Yang Hongzhi’s retreating figure and said,
"What’s he going to do?"
"No idea... wait!"
Touching his chin, Feng Yuan noticed there was no direct connection between the floor and the walls of the room, aning this thing could sink? A weight-sensing chanism?
Feng Yuan now understood why the button couldn’t be pressed and guessed what Yang Hongzhi was doing. Soon, Xiao Hui dragged the tal Rhinoceros back. Watching Xiao Hui push the tal Rhinoceros into the room, the floor imdiately sank with a light click sound. Surprised, Veronia said to Yang Hongzhi,
"I never thought you could think of this."
"Hehe, we encountered a similar chanism before. I just hope the chanism here requires only a certain weight and not a specific value."
Looking at the tal Rhinoceros thrown into the room, Yang Hongzhi said with so anxiety. The weight of the tal Rhinoceros differed vastly from a normal human, so he couldn’t guarantee this would deactivate the chanism.
"Why not just try it and find out?"
Veronia said, controlling Crystal Rose to try pressing the button again. This ti, there was no sticking, and a click was heard when the button was pressed. At the sa ti, an iron grate descended from above, sealing the room, and Najia said after a mont of silence,
"It seems we might have guessed right."
"Tch, could the initial design of this thing have required soone to drag it into the room and trap it inside as a sacrifice?"
Feng Yuan speculated after observing carefully how the tal Rhinoceros triggered the weight chanism. Before the tal Rhinoceros fully entered the room, the weight-sensing was clearly not fully triggered, aning the minimum required weight might have been that of the tal Rhinoceros itself.
Moreover, the descending iron grate was quite special. The gaps between the iron bars were sizable enough for a person to easily squeeze through, but not enough for the tal Rhinoceros to pass. In other words, unless the tal Rhinoceros was split into very small parts, the creature could be trapped in the room.
That said, the room containing the tal Rhinoceros wasn’t large. Feng Yuan thought if anyone really brought the tal Rhinoceros in, even if they could press the button to trap it inside, escaping would be quite a challenge.
After all, its attack thods weren’t weak. At least, at the ti, Xiao Ji couldn’t get close to it.
"Sigh, let’s keep moving and hope there won’t be more of these ahead."
Yang Hongzhi said helplessly, sighing. Although Xiao Ji could counter it, the creature remained a threat, and in Yang Hongzhi’s view, it was best avoided if possible.
Returning to the hall, the lights of the other corridor were already on. However, unlike the previous corridor, the door here looked strange.
On the heavy-looking light gray iron door, there was an observation window, reminiscent of a prison. But wasn’t this place supposed to be a research laboratory?
"Could this corridor be holding nothing but talized creatures?"
Randomly choosing a door, Feng Yuan peeked inside, seeing sothing that made him say with a peculiar expression. Based on what he had just seen, this place truly resembled a prison. However, did that an they’d have to fight their way through door by door?
Feng Yuan didn’t think they could just walk through the corridor easily. Considering the aggressive nature of these creatures, opening a door might...
"With Xiao Ji here, no matter how many of those creatures there are, they’re no threat～"
Veronia said, glancing at Xiao Ji. Najia’s gaze remained on the thick book hanging beside the door, feeling their analysis might have so discrepancy.
With this thought, Najia asked Yang Hongzhi to step forward. Seeing Najia flipping through the thick folders, Yang Hongzhi curiously asked,
"Is there sothing wrong with this thing?"
"There is. Perhaps the puzzle of this corridor is related to the background story of this place."
After quickly skimming the information, Najia said calmly. It wasn’t absolutely correct, but his guess likely had so rit.
Feng Yuan walked forward curiously, picking up a folder to examine it. It recorded information on various talized creatures imprisoned there, including mutation levels, infection types, and prototype information. Based on this data, Feng Yuan estimated that the individuals imprisoned here might be residents of Prison City...
Wait, was it necessary to record such detailed information on the test subjects?
"Could it be...this place..."
Muttering to himself, Feng Yuan touched his chin. Veronia glanced at the folder and said,
"Interesting, such detailed information far exceeds the typical need for docunting experintal subjects."
"However, if their aim is rescue, then this detailed record is just appropriate. Prison City...could that refer to..."
Examining the records, Feng Yuan spoke with an inexplicable expression. He had initially assud Mad Doctor’s laboratory was where so mad scientist was conducting illegal and horrifying experints,
but, looking from another angle, if the aim was to rescue patients deed beyond saving by mainstream opinion, wouldn’t this be considered a form of madness?
Moreover, the data found earlier couldn’t prove the opposing side was researching talization, or rather, the purpose and cause for researching talization weren’t so clear.
Can they deduce that, in fact, the entire purpose of the Mad Doctor’s laboratory was to find a specific antidote for reverse tallization?
Thinking this way, it seed the solution to this corridor might be related to the room Yang Hongzhi had been in before since it’s unlikely a Spirit Beast’s Ultimate Move could cure it.
Even so, many questions remain unanswered.
