Chapter 894: Frontal Attack
[You have opened a treasure chest (dark purple).
You have received 6.000 Paradise coins.
You have received 7,300 Paradise coins.
You have received a magic crystal shard.]
[Magic Crystal Shard.
Quality: Pale gold.
Type: Curiosity.
Effect: This item cannot be used.
Rating: 310.
Price: 10% of the World Source (can only be sold in the "Magic Index" world»).]
This time, he obtained an item that didn't have much use. It could only be sold directly to Paradise at the expense of a good amount of the Source of Peace.
However, such things were very popular among contractors. The Peace Source was equal to getting a certain amount of free stat points and Paradise coins. Obtaining such an item from the chest was equivalent to obtaining power. No one would refuse such an award.
Su Xiao immediately sold this shard and received 10% of the World Source.
To be honest, the results of opening the chests this time were good, but Su Xiao was a little dissatisfied.
Two flashes in a row made him feel dangerous.
After putting away all the items he had obtained and waiting for the lighter's effect to end, Su Xiao looked around warily.
Bubtney slid off the bed without a word and took a few steps back.
— There's nothing strange about it. After saying that, Su Xiao stood up and left the room with Bubtney.
This dog followed him with a look that seemed to say, " There are unkind people nearby who want to harm me. I won't accept any treats from anyone».
Su Xiao was currently in the seventh district of Academy City. The second district was located southeast of the seventh district, on the outskirts of Academy City, next to the tenth district.
The second area was a heavy industrial zone with hundreds of testing centers. It contained training centers for security personnel and members of the disciplinary committee, plus it was where the explosives and weapons testing centers were located..
Ordinary people were not allowed to enter the area.
Three hours later, Su Xiao reached the border of the seventh district. The passageway beyond was blocked by sharp wire, which was covered with yellow warning signs and black skull badges in a gas mask.
They marked a particularly dangerous area.
Su Xiao ignored all these warnings and jumped over the fence.
As soon as he landed on the other side of the fence, several trash can-like robots scanned Su Xiao.
— Please leave this area as soon as possible if you have permission to enter. - said the robot and quickly drove away.
Alistair had obviously given Su Xiao permission to enter.
Su Xiao took out a tablet and put on his wireless headphones.
— Yegor, you're here?
— Yes, I didn't find the target, it's probably inside the scientific complex, " Yegor's voice was a little unclear.
The room he was in was a bit noisy and there were occasional explosions.
Su Xiao started working on the tablet. This time, his target was the scientific complex that belonged to the Kihara clan. This was their largest laboratory, where they implemented various projects, starting with biological ones and ending with those related to superpowers.
The main person in this scientific complex was named Kihara Gensei. He was a scholar, a man of advanced age who would do anything possible to achieve his goals.
Although Kihara Gensei was only a scholar, one shouldn't underestimate him. The substance codenamed "Body crystal" and the plan for the evolution of Esper superpowers were his designs.
This man had a brilliant mind.
He did a lot for Alistair, but he broke a taboo — he decided to keep the grimoire of dead spirits for himself and wanted to study it from cover to cover.
There was nothing wrong with him being interested in magic. Alistair turned a blind eye to such things, but secret research was another matter altogether, not to mention the fact that he wanted to research a dead spirit grimoire, too dangerous a grimoire.
As for whether Kihara Gensei would be able to get anything out of it, that was questionable. Mysticism was the transit point between magic and science. Science was linked to mysticism, and although the two phenomena seemed to have nothing to do with each other, they actually had a lot in common.
Su Xiao calmly walked on his own two feet to the right place, which was marked on the map on his tablet.
Half an hour later, he arrived at the red-and-brown doors of the science complex.
This was the laboratory that Kihara Gensei was currently in. This laboratory was completely isolated from the outside world, it was about five stories high, and naturally, all of these floors were located underground. Its total area was just under 80,000 square meters. It had a rectangular shape, and only its outer layer was created from concrete. As for the inner layer, it was made of a medium-strength steel alloy.
In fact, such a building was more likely to be used as a bunker during some war than as a research facility, but given the Kihara clan's financial resources and technology, it wasn't surprising that they were able to build something like this.
Su Xiao stood in front of the first doors. When his hand touched the handle of Dragon Flash, the longsword immediately left its scabbard.
*Clang-clang-clang...*
Several white flashes suddenly appeared in front of the massive doors, and Su Xiao put the Dragon Flash back into its scabbard.
Dozens of carefully hewn massive iron blocks fell to the ground.
Diamond-shaped holes were formed in the once very strong massive doors.
He obviously couldn't enter this bunker as an official guest. If Kihara Gensei was willing to hand over the dead spirit grimoire to him, Alistair wouldn't have sent Su Xiao in this way, and the way he conveyed this information strongly hinted that Kihara Gensei was unwilling to hand over the grimoire.
He wanted to keep it and didn't want to part with it.
So Su Xiao simply had no choice but to use force and enter this bunker with brute force.
As soon as Su Xiao entered the research facility through the hole in the massive doors, heavy machine gun bursts immediately rang out in front of him.
Counterattack shields immediately appeared around Su Xiao, releasing a series of unpleasant clangs.
Bullets from heavy machine guns bounced off the counterattack shields endlessly.
Su Xiao calmly looked around. He was in a spacious hallway. The walls of the corridor were made of metal, cold and too light.
On the opposite side from Su Xiao, powerful heavy machine guns were mounted directly in the wall. In addition to the walls some machine guns were mounted in the ceiling.
The sound of gunfire mixed with the sound of shell casings falling to the ground, and the entrance to the science complex was quickly filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Su Xiao touched his sword that was currently in its scabbard, and when he pulled it out, a bright light suddenly appeared out of nowhere right in the middle of the spacious corridor.
With an unpleasant screech, the first heavy machine guns fell apart.
Su Xiao swung his sword more than a dozen times. All the heavy machine guns in the corridor started to fall apart.
After that, he himself went further, deeper into the scientific complex.
He needed a detailed map of the place, so finding a local employee was not a bad choice.
----
In the lab.
Several scientists in white coats were talking animatedly.
Next to them was a glass flask several meters high, filled with a light green solution.
A girl with long brown hair was in this solution. She was completely naked, and bubbles were popping out of her mouth from time to time.
— Gentlemen, it would be best if you took refuge in the central control room as soon as possible. Our research facility was attacked six minutes ago, "the Hound Dog member said as he opened the door to the lab.
— Later, we were almost able to deduce the perfect formula. Even if a nuclear bomb is supposed to fall on us, I'm not leaving here.
— I support you, we have to finish this formula. Mikoto Misaki's clone has too many flaws. If we can do this, at least the clone's abilities, including body stats, will improve by more than a third. 2%.
Several scientists were following the reports of their experiment closely, not even paying attention to the security guard.
For them, experiments and research were above all else.
*Boom!*
Along with a wild and deafening explosion, the nearby wall shattered and metal fragments flew inside the lab.
They looked more like irregularly shaped cannonballs, as they flew at great speed.
*Bam!*
One of the metal fragments hit directly into the equipment, causing it to immediately start sparking.
The lab was quickly filled with the smell of blood. One of the scientists, who had been knocked down by a powerful blow a moment earlier, stood up.
His face was covered in blood, not his own, but his colleagues'.
A few twisted corpses lay nearby.
