Chapter 408 - 153: Magic Energy Hot Melt Knife and Mechanical Gorilla



Seven Brown looked at Leonard Churchill, who was holding a few patrol records, and glanced at them as well.

As she looked at them, something began to churn in her mind.

Listening to her murmuring, Leonard casually asked, “Did you notice something?”

Knowing that Leonard was testing her, Seven Brown shared her thoughts.

“Mmm… These patrol reports are probably clues about the unusual phenomena that occurred at the research institute before the pollution leakage unleashed.” “From the condition of the laboratory, we are likely in the timeline a few days after the pollution outbreak. It’s already confirmed that leakage happened, so around 12:40 at midnight, some anomaly may occur. That is roughly five hours from now.”

“As for the T64 Cabin, it’s on the first floor. It may not be a critical location, but it certainly has some exceptional features. That explains why initial signs of local energy anomalies occurred there.”

“One more thing, that Doctor Victor. He might be a crucial figure.”

After wrapping up, Seven Brown looked at Leonard Churchill, uncertainty in her eyes, “Am I right?”

Leonard chuckled, “You are.”

Miss Rita, who can design her own Mechanical Battle Armor, is surely of high intellect.

Leonard himself could only decipher this much from the information.

Upon further thought, he added, “Ah, there’s another thing. Gaining clues from this abnormal pathway might trigger some hidden plots.”

Upon hearing this, Seven Brown cast him a puzzled look. “Oh?”

Leonard replied, “Looking at the current situation, it’s rare to find a hunter proficient in Taren’s Classics. But it’s not impossible. Since the space has brought forth this plot item and not others, it must have a use.”

His piercing gaze fell upon her again as he continued, “Most likely… It’s a test prepared by the space for those high-level players who can understand Taren’s Classics. Consequently, following this line of clues could pose a great challenge.”

This is one of the fun aspects of the Alternate Dimension.

Many spaces harbor “easter eggs” that one would never discover without actively seeking them.

Upon finding them, one is in for a surprise.

At this point, Seven Brown’s initially nervous expression was replaced with anticipation, simultaneous asking, “Harder than A-rank?”

As if when she was with Leonard, there was nothing to fear.

With profound intent in his gaze, Leonard replied, “Yes… Based on the current degree of exploration, there’s a high likelihood. Those guys triggered an A- Level plot, but they only went down to the third layer of the underground. Furthermore, the degree of exploration isn’t even above 90%, i.e., they haven’t located the source of pollution.”

Encountering the Alternate Dimension that could trigger an A-Level plot or above was a rare occurrence.

The higher the difficulty limit of the space implied bigger challenges and even greater opportunities.

That’s one of the main reasons why he had chosen ‘1981 Mechanical Research Institute’ from amongst various spaces before entering.

Hearing all this, Seven Brown’s eyes immediately brightened: “Then… Shall we go?”

Laughing, Leonard shook his head, “The clues we have right now aren’t enough to tackle such a challenge. Let’s go down to level three first.”

Seven Brown nodded, “Okay.”

Soon afterward, they reached the T64 Cabin.

Leonard partially transformed into a werewolf using Beast Transformation, sniffed the cabin and confirmed, “The First Tier A-rank ‘Corrupted Giant Magic Ape King’ that we killed earlier escaped from this cabin.”

Seven Brown instantly realized something, “So, does that mean the pollution in this cabin was more severe than the others, which led to the catastrophe?” “Yes,” came the straightforward reply.

Leonard nodded, and they started looking around the cabin.

This 20-square meter cabin was completely open to the eye and didn’t seem to have anything remarkable.

Leonard recalled the previously encountered 407th space.

Not all walls were invincible rule items.

Pulling out a gun, he shot towards the walls around the room.

Initially, Seven Brown didn’t understand what he was doing.

But when she saw the bullet holes not fading away from one of the walls, she instantly got it, “Can this wall be destroyed?”

Unsurprised, Leonard nodded, “Yes. But it couldn’t be destroyed here.”

He stepped to the bullet hole and checked for any damage. The sharp wolf claws only left a white scratch.

With such resilience, not even a room full of bombs could demolish it.

Then, Leonard placed his ear on the wall, knocked to listen for thickness and echo, and remarked, “There’s a gap in the wall, ascending from below. That’s probably why the pollution in this cabin is concentrated.”

The sharp hearing of a werewolf revealed the anomalies existing in the walls.

“Oh?”

Seven Brown also tried to listen in the same way but was met with disappointment as she couldn’t hear anything, “I couldn’t catch it.”

Laughing, Leonard said, “Let’s go to the second basement.”

There wasn’t much to explore on the first floor, so the two went down to the second basement, several dozen feet below through the damaged elevator shaft.

As soon as they arrived, they noticed an abundance of explosive residue in the corridor.

Seven Brown crouched down to examine the traces left by the explosives. She touched some of the powder and soon concluded, “U3 Type Military Anti- Armor Bomb… It’s hard even to get this in the Black Market.”

Upon hearing this, Leonard looked again at the corridor, which showed evidence of bomb explosions all along, and chuckled, “Those guys came well- prepared. They used bombs to move forward hastily without even cleaning the battlefield… That saves us lots of trouble.”
