Chapter 483

Pandora City, this city that Dorothy watched being built bit by bit five hundred years ago, has changed its appearance after so many years of development.

Not only is the scale of the city nearly a hundred times larger, but the architectural style in the city has also changed greatly.

If the city was still in the early industrial revolution steam-punk style when Dorothy first built it, then now, it is a cyber city with a strong sci-fi color.

Countless high-rise buildings rose from the ground, rushing straight into the clouds. Colorful neon lights decorated the outlines of these buildings, dyeing the night sky colorful. Various displays on the buildings played advertisements for the latest products. From time to time, cool flying vehicles shuttled through the city, overlooking the complex overpasses that wound through the city like light bands. The long traffic on the bridge was like a long snake...

This place has already become a city that never sleeps.

And at this time, a cool flying car was speeding at an obviously excessive speed, which attracted the attention of some autonomous machines patrolling in the city. Immediately, some autonomous police machines that floated in mid-air, waving several tentacles like octopuses, chased after it.

It's just that these mechanical octopuses chased for a while, as if they had received some instructions together, and then swam back slowly to continue performing their tasks.

And the flying car driven by the outlaw still sped all the way, even simply breaking away from the aerial high-speed lane paved by the virtual guide cursor, flying randomly between the high-rise buildings, from time to time performing stunts like side-passing alleys and flying under bridges. This driving skill is indeed nothing to say.

Fortunately, in the end, the flying car safely arrived at its destination, which was the entrance of a heavily guarded experimental base on the outskirts of the city.

"Classified area, private entry prohibited."

As soon as this floating car approached, fully armed security personnel immediately intercepted it in front of the car. Even the autonomous artillery on the wall near the base had aimed in this direction, as if as long as there was any abnormality, these artillery would tear this car and the people in the car to pieces.

In such a state of readiness, the window of the floating car opened, and then a head wearing a clown mask poked out. From the figure, this was a woman, and she showed a certificate to the security guard who came forward.

And as soon as they saw the badge of the winged war hammer on the certificate, the security guards were suddenly shocked. Afterward, they stood at attention and saluted, respectfully clearing the way. The autonomous artillery on both sides also lifted the alert, and the gate of the base opened.

"Please enter, officer."

The guard, who was clearly also an armed witch, said while saluting.

And Dorothy nodded slightly, then drove into this experimental base.

Although it is said that this guy who was speeding in the city just now doesn't even have a driver's license.

"Emmm... something is wrong. I see this base is heavily guarded. With this level of intensity, how could such an important thing be stolen?"

The Home Witch asked Colia in the passenger seat while driving.

Although the pursuit mission was urgent, sharpening the knife wouldn't delay the work of cutting wood. They still decided to come to this Magic Web laboratory to investigate the scene first to see if there were any other clues.

And now that she arrived at this laboratory, looking at the warning lines along the way that were truly worthy of being called copper walls and iron barriers, she was very confused.

This doesn't look like the guards were slacking off. With this level of defense, things could still be stolen. What kind of people did the Glorious Divine Kingdom send to steal things?

For a time, some thief movies Dorothy had seen in her previous life appeared in her mind. The protagonists in those movies could always treat other people's secret bases with heavy guards as their own living rooms and walk around at will. It was very cool to substitute those protagonists when watching movies, but unfortunately, the reality is that she is actually the unlucky one who was stolen from, which is very miserable.

Or is it that these guards were temporarily added after the things were stolen, and this is a face-saving project to mend the fold after the sheep is lost?

The Home Witch didn't understand for a while.

On the other hand, Colia also flipped through the mission information again and was also a bit confused.

"My lord, this is indeed very puzzling. Head of State has always been very concerned about the security work of this laboratory. There are even spirits and Magic Knights among the guards here, which can be considered the highest level of boundary. But on the day of the incident, all the guards said there was no abnormality at all, as if the Magic Web Core just disappeared out of thin air. The monitoring equipment in the base was also completely normal."

The Black Sheep Witch flipped through the mission information in her hand again and again, but still didn't find any useful news.

Regarding this, Dorothy was also helpless. She had to step on the gas pedal and started speeding in this huge experimental base, and soon arrived at the entrance of the core laboratory in the center of the base.

Afterward, the car door opened, and the Inquisition squad in the minivan drilled out.

Cough cough... fine, the floating car she was driving that looked like a two-door sports car was actually Colia's private car.

This Black Sheep Witch didn't expect that her hobbies were quite trendy now, liking to play with cars. The interior of this car had long been magically modified by her to be a bit outrageous. Although it looked like there were only two seats in the car, when the trunk was opened, there was actually a luxury flat floor hidden inside, which was very awesome.

It's just that the comfort and passenger capacity are nothing to say, but when getting off the car, except for the two people in the driver and passenger seats, other passengers have to drill out of the trunk, which seems a bit ungraceful.

But the problem is not big. After all, with the identity of everyone now being more special police than special police, no matter how ungraceful they are, others dare not laugh casually. Even if they want to laugh, they have to hold it in.

And then...

"*Pfft*..."

A suppressed laugh came from the side, which immediately made the Inquisition squad members who had just drilled out of the trunk glare at them.

Then they found a fully armed robot not far away covering the mouth of another robot companion, but this was clearly useless. After all, the robot's mouth was just a decoration, and the sound was all dependent on the internal speaker.

"Sorry, officer, he just remembered something happy."

The robot that covered its companion's mouth explained to this side with some embarrassment. Unexpectedly, it played a female voice. It seems it is still a female robot.

Of course, normal robots certainly have no gender distinction. If there is, it is just a decoration. But these two are clearly not ordinary robots. Dorothy carefully looked at these two special-model robots and felt a familiar aura from them.

Hmm, this is the feeling of the mechanical bodies she made for the spirit army when the first act ended. These are two spirit warriors.

Although the "Adam" army she left behind must be outdated five hundred years later and should have been eliminated long ago, judging from these two spirits now, the latest spirit equipment is still upgraded and modified on the design she made back then, and the basic framework has not changed much.

But it's no wonder that these two robots dare not give them face. After all, spirit equipment and Magic Knights belong to the ace of the Magic Republic, and the status of both sides is equal, so no one needs to get used to anyone.

Moreover, judging from the personalities of these two spirits, it's not certain that they were also Magic Knights before they died.

And beside these two armed spirits were a group of researchers in research clothes. These should be the staff in the laboratory. They should have received the notice from the guards and came over in advance to welcome and cooperate with the investigation.

"Lord Knight, I am Bard, the director of this Magic Web Research Institute. Don't worry, we will definitely fully cooperate with your investigation."

As soon as he saw the Inquisition squad, a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle walked out of the crowd. He said with a look of seeing a savior.

This is also normal. After all, having lost such an important thing, when the superiors pursue responsibility, he, the director, will definitely not be able to run away. Now, besides Dorothy and Dinisha, the two leaders who know the importance, the one who wants to retrieve the Magic Web Core the most should be this director of the research institute.

"Then let's go see the scene first."

Dorothy didn't have time to socialize with this Mediterranean director, so she said directly.

"Yes, yes, yes, please follow me, lords."

The director nodded repeatedly, and then moved his chubby little short legs to lead the way.

Soon, the group passed through one password door after another of the research institute and entered a research room deep underground.

As soon as she entered the door, Dorothy saw a huge transparent display rack. Something should have been contained in it, but now the things inside were gone, empty, and there was nothing left.

Regarding this, the Home Witch turned her head slightly, signaled the Inquisition squad behind her with her eyes, signaling everyone not to hide any skills, and use them quickly. Afterward, she also released her perception and began to try to search for any clues that might exist in this secret room.

However, it was a pity that even if everyone used all their skills, they still gained nothing in the end. Dorothy even opened her perception to the maximum, and her spiritual power dug three feet deep to scan, but still found nothing.

And that Mediterranean director also sensibly sent the monitoring images of the research institute in time. Everyone had to suppress the irritability of gaining nothing and began to patiently watch these monitoring images.

However, everything in these monitoring images was normal. In the images, one could only see the Magic Web Core, which was originally placed on the display rack like the most brilliant gem, suddenly disappear out of thin air. It was still there in the previous frame, and it suddenly disappeared out of thin air in the next frame.

This is really hellish.

"Illusion? Or did someone use invisibility? It can't be space teleportation, right?"

Dorothy also frowned and fell into deep thought.

But she looked at the building materials of this research room and shook her head.

It can be seen that Dinisha really attaches great importance to this Magic Web Core, and even used anti-magic materials that are very rare and valuable in this era. Basically, it is impossible for anyone to cast spells without leaving any traces when this research room is closed.

Then the question is, what is going on? It can't be that it's really hellish, right?

Dorothy didn't believe in evil and watched those monitors again. This time, she watched carefully frame by frame.

"Stop..."

Just when the Home Witch's eyes were about to get sore from staring at the screen, she suddenly discovered something and hurriedly shouted.

And Colia beside her also immediately pressed the pause button, and then looked at the screen. After watching, she was very confused.

"My lord, is there any problem with this?"

The Black Sheep Witch didn't see any suspicious points in the paused picture on this screen.

It wasn't just her alone; the members of the Inquisition squad were also like this. They thought everything was normal.

However, hearing their words, Dorothy's brows frowned even more, because in her eyes, in this frame now, outside the tightly closed door of this research room, there was clearly a blurry figure of a little girl.

"You really didn't see it? There is clearly a little girl here, 1.2 meters tall, black hair..."

She pointed to the screen and confirmed with everyone.

However, Colia and the Inquisition squad looked at the position Dorothy pointed to again, and still saw nothing. They could only shake their heads.

They suspected that Dorothy's eyes were blurred.

"Oh, then it's fine. It must be that you guys are too weak."

Regarding this, Dorothy also nodded and said naturally.

She wouldn't think that her eyes were blurred. After all, this wasn't the first time she had encountered such a situation. The best example is now on her face, right?

Senior Fan Ni's figure is usually only visible to herself, and other sisters can't see it. This can't be that Senior Fan Ni is also her hallucination, right?

"So, Senior, is this a stand-in similar to yours?"

Dorothy secretly asked Senior Mask.

Regarding this, Senior Fan Ni, who had been playing dead and didn't intend to open a cheat for her master, couldn't remain silent anymore.

"Not at all. It's different from my principle, but it is indeed a similar type. It requires a high enough inspiration to see clearly; otherwise, you will directly ignore her unconsciously. This is the way of demons. It can't compare with me."

Senior Fan Ni said with some pride. She was very dissatisfied that Qian Bao actually used such low-level tricks to compare with her.

Fortunately, the Mediterranean director, who had been trying hard to treat himself as air, suddenly widened his eyes when he heard Dorothy's description just now. He seemed to know something.

"Did you hide something else?"

The abnormality of the director was keenly noticed by Dorothy and others. Everyone's eyes were focused on this mortal director.

"That, lords, I'm not very sure, but if it's really a 1.2-meter-tall little girl with black hair, then it might be the Evil Seed."

Facing everyone's eyes, this Mediterranean fat director wiped the sweat on his forehead and then said cautiously.

"Evil Seed?"

... Everyone is confused and curious...
