Chapter 867: Security measures
[The preparation time is up, the derived world has no anomalies, and the spatial coordinates are stable... 0.021 units of time and space power were consumed.]
[Due to the consumption of 0.021 units of time and space force, the Contractor must reach a minimum of level " C " in its final assessment.]
[The contractor communication platform has been created and activated... Remaining number of free messages — 8/8.]
The space around Su Xiao began to change, and along with the rumble, his vision suddenly went dark.
----
In an abandoned lab.
*Bul-bul-bul*
A string of bubbles suddenly rose in the light green solution.
Several large sealed glass flasks were installed in the laboratory. All of them were filled with a light green solution.
Su Xiao was immersed in one of the similar flasks, and suddenly his eyes opened.
*Bul-bul-bul*
A stream of bubbles came out of Su Xiao's mouth. When he realized what had happened, he immediately closed his mouth.
The liquid he was currently in seemed to have a paralyzing effect, as he was almost unable to move.
A familiar sound came from the side of him. Turning his head to the side, Su Xiao noticed Bubtni in a nearby flask.
The flask that Bubtney was in was very large, it was at least twice the size of Su Xiao's flask.
From the outside, it looked more like a fish tank than a Bubtney flask.
The familiar sound came again. In the glass flask in front of Su Xiao was a man wearing a black leather jacket and short hair. A coffin was strapped to his back.
This man was also completely submerged in a special liquid.
The man with the coffin didn't seem to be able to move. A white light suddenly flashed on his body-he clearly used some kind of skill to get out of this flask, but it ended up going nowhere.
Seeing this, Su Xiao closed his eyes and began to probe the surroundings. He soon realized that it wasn't this strange liquid that paralyzed his body, but a seal of sorts, and it almost completely restricted his attempts to do anything.
[Notice: The remaining time to enter the derived world is 2 minutes and 36 seconds.]
After seeing this notification, Su Xiao understood what was going on.
He had been through something similar in the past.
Not far from the flask that Su Xiao was in, right on the floor, a man and a woman suddenly woke up. At first, they looked around in confusion and when they saw each other, they said hello, then they looked at the two men in flasks and looked at the aquarium with the dog.
— These three were really unlucky. They've just entered a new world, and they're already trapped, " the female contractor said, pursing her lips and walking towards Su Xiao's flask.
— Don't even think about it, unless you want to die. This is a kind of defense of this derivative world, " the man said and glared at the female contractor.
— Protection? We've been at the third rank for a long time. Do we need protection from Paradise when entering a new world? "What is it?" she asked, but stopped. She was a little afraid of this big guy, so she decided not to provoke him.
— Since Paradise has decided to protect us, it's best if we don't provoke them and leave.
Hearing the man's words, the female contractor chuckled and followed him to the exit.
They obviously belonged to one faction or another.
Su Xiao had been pondering the solution to the current problem all this time. He wasn't worried about being attacked by these contractors. If they posed a serious threat to him or the man opposite him, they would also end up in similar flasks.
Two minutes passed in the blink of an eye. When the timer came to an end, Su Xiao's body stopped being suppressed by an unknown force and he immediately touched the flask with one hand.
*Boom!*
The glass flask cracked and shattered, and a light green solution immediately gushed out. Su Xiao went outside. At the same time, the man with the coffin on his back also came out of his flask.
They looked at each other in silence.
The atmosphere became tense. Su Xiao could sense from this guy's aura that he would be difficult to deal with.
He could smell the strong smell of gunpowder from this guy even standing more than ten meters away from him.
After tens of seconds of silent confrontation, the man's right hand reached for the coffin behind him, and Su Xiao's hand reached for Dragon Flash.
— Usually, situations like this mean that the world we're in is very dangerous, so Heaven teleported us to one place and allowed us to form a small group, " said the man with the coffin on his back. His voice was a little hoarse.
— ...
Su Xiao didn't answer. It was dangerous to talk to an enemy whose abilities he didn't know. One day, he met a contractor in the arena. His abilities were very nasty and abnormal. If someone were to oppose him in the derived world, they would most likely end up dying.
That guy had an abnormal skill that could seal 1 to 3 skills of the person who spoke to him. As for exactly how many skills would be sealed, the specific number depended on how much time the other party had spent talking to him.
— It looks like we won't be able to form a group, " the man said and slowly backed away. He felt that Su Xiao was a melee fighter, so he needed to stay away from Su Xiao.
The further away the man went, the more vigilant Su Xiao became. He always judged an opponent based on many factors, starting with their aura, their habitual movements, the presence of calluses on their hands, and their smell.
And right now, he could tell that this guy was either a marksman or a melee fighter.
The distance between the two sides slowly increased, and when they were already dozens of meters apart, the man abruptly kicked off the ground and disappeared into the corridor with a whoosh.
Su Xiao was the only one left in the lab. The Dragon's Flash was returned to its scabbard, and he turned and walked towards the aquarium where Bubtney was sitting.
Bubtney didn't bother to break his cage, but instead floated happily in the light green solution..
— Stop swimming and come out, " Su Xiao said and smashed one wall of the aquarium before taking a look at the information about this world.
The light green solution immediately gushed out, and Bubtni was washed out along with the solution.
After brushing himself off, his eyes looked a little sad and clearly wanted to say, " Eh, my bath, my comfortable bath...»
[Mir: Magic Index.
Difficulty: Level 15 ~ ??? (Semi-open world of the third rank).
Source of Peace: 0%.
A quick digression: A world where magic and technology co-exist.
The magical side: For a long time, representatives of magic have influenced the world in various forms. Magicians are strong and the main factions of magic are represented by the Roman Catholic Church and the English Puritan Church.
Mages are able to infuse magic power into their own blood vessels and nerves. Using body movements, gestures, or other symbols, such as playing cards, and so on, as long as it results in the desired spell being displayed, this will allow the mage to activate it. Some powerful mages can use the terrain as an activator of a powerful spell.
Academic side: Mostly represented by Academy City, a huge student city with a population of 2.3 million people, 80% of whom are students. The city is divided into 23 school districts and isolated from the outside world. The technological level of development of Academy City is 20-30 years ahead of the technological level of development of the rest of the world. All Academy City students have superpowers. To prevent the leakage of technology and superpowers, Academy City has strict entry and exit restrictions.
A superpower in Academy City is considered a major breakthrough in the "Theory of Quantum Mechanics". With this breakthrough, espers can project their inner world onto their abilities, allowing them to distort reality and cause unnatural changes in it..
At first glance, superpowers can be developed through "imagination" or "beliefs", but the most effective way to develop abilities is to inject special drugs into the esper's body, after which electrodes will be connected to his body. Then there are two ways: electrical stimulation (physical method) or entering into a certain state using special headphones (spiritual method). These methods are used to accelerate the development of superpowers. Since the development of such abilities is very heavy on the brain, a person can often use only one ability, but no more than two. It is impossible to change a developed superpower to another one.
Trial Mission: Grimoire of Dead Spirits.
Hunter Mission: Eliminate Abnormal Intruders.
Warning: Please do not mention "Paradise" in this world. If the warning is ignored, the Hunter will be executed immediately.!
Notice: It was discovered that the Hunter does not speak the language of this world, and therefore 100 coins were deducted from the Hunter's balance for learning the language of this world.
The hunt begins!]
